Chapter 55: Preparation

Armaments and military supplies, there is no way to prepare.

Lian Jingxiao glanced at Zou Ning unexpectedly, but did not explain.

Xu Cong thought for a while and said, "When Mr. Qiu was in the Huainan Army, he was only responsible for the treatment of the wounded and did not participate in military discussions. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate..."

Lian Jingxiao looked at Xu Cong with raised eyebrows, pondered for a moment, then tapped Xiaoji and looked at several people: "What do you want to say?"

"Is Doctor Chi the son's favorite boy?"

As soon as the words came out, the others looked at Lin Qiuqing in shock. The two of them just thought about it. Who would have thought that Lin Qiuqing would ask such a direct question, and then they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Lian Jingxiao.

Hearing this, Lian Jingxiao looked at Lin Qingqiu indifferently, seeing that the other party had been sitting there, looking at him without avoiding or retreating, as if he asked this question, and it was just a question, not Han likes and dislikes, yes or no, in fact, he doesn't care.

Lian Jingxiao hooked the corner of his mouth, glanced at several people, and then replied: "No."

Lin Qingqiu looked at Lian Jingxiao and nodded, then stopped talking, it seemed that he had already got the answer he wanted.Zou Ning and Xu Cong looked at me and I looked at you, they were both a little surprised, but the prince always said what he said, if he said no, then he must be no, just feeling relieved, he listened to Lian Jingxiao Then he continued: "From now on, you will treat him as you would treat me. If there is negligence, you will be dealt with by military law."

He Bi listened, and covered the slightly upturned mouth with his hands, Lin Qingqiu raised his eyebrows at Lian Jingxiao, while Zou Ning and Xu Cong looked struck by lightning: "...!" This **** is not a male pet!

The two were struggling, and saw Chi Canghai lift the curtain of the big tent and walk in. After thinking about it, he still greeted Lian Jingxiao first: "My lord."

Lian Jingxiao looked at him amusedly, and stretched out his hand to help him up, while He Bi personally brought him a chair, and Chi Canghai hurriedly thanked him: "Mr. Lao Lao."

Lian Jingxiao saw that several people were seated, thought for a while and said, "Now report the situation of the Huainan Army."

As soon as the business was mentioned, the faces of several people returned to seriousness. Zou Ning first replied: "The vanguard battalion has 10 people, including [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. The personnel, horses, and weapons are all in order."

Xu Cong said: "The Right Guard Battalion has 10 soldiers, [-] cavalry, [-] infantry, all personnel, horses, and weapons."

Lin Qingqiu said: "The left guard battalion has 10 people, 2 cavalry, [-] infantry, complete personnel, horses, and weapons, and another [-] escorts for grain and grass, complete personnel, grain and grass carts."

He Bi said: "Now the army has sufficient food and grass, which can last for more than a year, cotton-padded clothes, battle armor, and weapons are also sufficient."

When Chi Canghai heard this, he couldn't help feeling that the Huainan Army was indeed rigorous in running the army, and even Jing Xiao had indeed invested a lot of money in the army's expenses. Otherwise, under Emperor Zhengde's suppression, how could he have purchased the 30 army's military supplies? so filling.

Xu Cong listened with excitement on his face: "Your Majesty, the Huainan Army is ready for a big fight. Our brothers have been itchy for the past few years."

Lian Jingxiao didn't express his opinion, but thought for a while, and then looked at Chi Canghai. Chi Canghai knew that he was asking what he thought, so he thought for a while and said, "I have a few things I want to ask."

Xu Cong curled his lips and said, "The Huainan army has all the medicinal materials in order, and the soldiers are healthy, what else can there be?"

Chi Canghai just smiled: "May I ask what the weather is like in Kangju today?"

Several people gathered together for a moment, He Bi thought for a while and said: "Kangju is colder than the Huainan border, here is only snow, and Kangju will encounter glaciers."

Chi Canghai nodded, thought for a while and then asked: "If you march, how many hours will you have to walk every day?"

Lin Qiuqing replied: "If it's urgent, there are ten hours."

Chi Canghai nodded again, and asked again: "What are the rations prepared by the Huainan Army now?"

He Bi replied: "Mostly dry food, but also some dried meat."

Chi Canghai: "Where are the fruits and vegetables?"

He Bi shook his head: "It's better in the barracks now. When the army sets out, I'm afraid there will be nothing left, and the ones taken away will not be preserved."

Chi Canghai pondered for a while, then raised his head and said to Lian Jingxiao: "I need five hundred catties of ginger, one hundred catties of ginger juice, two hundred catties of chopped firewood, a lot of Sanqi, safflower, red peony root, and millet vine. Medicinal ingredients, the rest, I figured out how to do it myself.

Lian Jingxiao looked at him and smiled: "He Bi, write it down, get it for him."

He Bi wrote down one by one: "Yes, my son."

Chi Canghai thanked him, and then ran out in a hurry. There was silence in the big tent, and after a long time, Xu Cong said: "I think the Huainan army is completely prepared. There are so many more things?"

Zhou Ning glanced at Xu Cong, and couldn't help feeling: "Is he a doctor or a cook..."

He Bi looked at the tenderness in Lian Jingxiao's eyes, and smiled lightly, while Lin Qiuqing's eyes were thoughtful.

The things Chi Canghai wanted were all used to ward off the diseases that were prone to be suffered in the cold and snowy environment for a long time.The soldiers were indeed strong and healthy. Although there had been no wars on the border in recent years, they practiced every day and never slacked off. But even so, judging from the illness records Qiu Hai gave him, they were quite healthy. If the Huainan army really wants to meet the enemy, or even go to Kangju, according to Zuo Hujun, it will inevitably march in the snow for a long time. Any symptoms of coldness that are not obvious will be revealed, and the Huainan army may be at a disadvantage before even fighting with the enemy, and they will lose their positions. Therefore, Chi Canghai must make complete preparations in advance and imagine all possible foreseeable problems arrive.

Except for the one hundred catties of ginger juice, He Bi brought everything else according to Chi Canghai's request three days later.

As soon as Chi Canghai got out of the big tent, he saw a pot on the empty field in the distance, and then looked at He Bi in puzzlement, and saw He Bi pointing to the pile of ginger in the distance and said: "Burn it now."

Chi Canghai understood, and suddenly smiled, pointing to the four big bags of traditional Chinese medicine: "Then please make some more pots, sir, let's go together."

For a while, ten large pots were set up in the camp, half of which were boiled with ginger juice and half with medicinal herbs. The smoke filled the air and the smell was suffocating, which was quite spectacular...

As for the remaining [-] catties of ginger, Chi Canghai sent someone to the kitchen, and ordered that every day after dinner, each lieutenant should drink a bowl of ginger water to drive away the cold, and don't throw away the leftover ginger. There are other uses.

After these things were arranged, Chi Canghai called the next-level generals of each battalion, took out a bowl of boiled Chinese medicine, and asked the generals to rub the Chinese medicine on their hands and feet with a cloth according to his method, and told everyone It should be wiped every day, and every soldier in the battalion must be conveyed.

The generals looked at each other, and one of them couldn't help asking: "Doctor Chi, we are not sick, what are we doing with this medicine? After a day of practice, the soldiers are already tired, how can we have the energy to wipe this thing... "

Hearing what he said, many other generals also agreed. In their opinion, even if they are sick, most of them can hold on. It is not a joke to apply medicine without illness.

Hearing what he said, Chi Canghai was not in a hurry, he just said, "Can you please take off your shoes and socks for me to see?"

The general didn't know why, but he didn't hesitate, he took off his shoes and socks directly, and Chi Canghai pointed at some dry, cracked, red and swollen places and said, "Master, do these places feel itchy when it's hot, or hurt when it's cold?"

The general was stunned for a moment, and said indifferently: "Soldiers are used to being rough, who doesn't have some scars and calluses on their hands and feet."

Chi Canghai shook his head: "My lord is wrong. These are not calluses, but sores. The wounds on the hands and feet are all chilblains. If they are not treated and develop slowly, the flesh will rot. My lord always I don’t want to be unable to fight the enemy by then, just because of the little frostbite right now?”

The general was taken aback: "Is this... so serious?"

Chi Canghai nodded: "The Huainan army camp is extremely cold in winter and snow is accumulated all year round. I think you adults should have frostbite to some extent, and you don't usually care about it, but if you march in the snow, or even camp in the snow, then the frostbite will definitely get worse. It’s out of control, so this disease must be treated, just wipe it every day, and I promise it won’t happen again.”

Several generals looked at each other, and finally cupped their hands and said: "I have been taught, I am determined to obey the doctor's instructions."

Chi Canghai smiled: "Thank you, my lords, for your cooperation. I will let the soldiers go to the middle of the barracks to get the medicine later."

After explaining this, Chi Canghai asked people to boil the water every night, and asked the soldiers to soak their feet before going to bed, first in cold and warm water for 5 minutes, and then in hot water for 10 minutes. Throw in the ginger and continue to cook. This method not only dispels the cold, activates the blood, invigorates the stomach, reduces inflammation, and can even treat frostbite. Fortunately, he asked He Bi to prepare enough firewood, and it is very easy to use snow water.

Chi Canghai knew that this method was cumbersome, and he could not use it after the army actually went out, but Chi Canghai's intention was to adjust the bodies of the soldiers of the Huainan Army to the best state possible before facing the enemy, and this weather , Wind-cold and frostbite are the biggest hidden dangers, and he hopes to kill these diseases in the early stage.

Xu Cong, who was eavesdropping behind the big tent, looked at Zou Ning beside him with a complicated expression, and said reluctantly after a long time: "This person seems to have some skills..."

Zou Ning also sighed sadly: "How could it be... that I would be willing to be a male favourite..."

Lin Qingqiu who came to look for the two sighed and shook his head when he heard this: These two idiots...

On the other side, He Bi, who was passing by here, looked at Lian Jingxiao with a smile: "It seems that I haven't congratulated the son on his wedding, right?"

Lian Jingxiao raised his eyebrows, and then smiled lightly: "Thank you, sir." After speaking, he turned and left, and went to check other parts of the barracks. He Bi smiled and looked back at Chi Canghai who was still giving careful instructions, and followed with a smile.

What Chi Canghai arranged was arranged according to his request every day, and he himself did not delay at all. The next day, he asked He Bi to arrange a tent and open a clinic in the barracks. Since he is already a military doctor of the Huainan Army , then in addition to preparing for the future march, naturally he should also do his duty as a doctor.
