After learning that there were more than 30 similar serious cases in other military camps, Zhu Ping'an had an idea.
After sending the doctor away, Zhu Ping'an inspected the military camp and made sure that there were no omissions. Then he took Liu Mu and five personal soldiers with him, carrying hundreds of large and small packages of secret medicine for knife wounds and left the camp.
The first stop was the temporary naval camp of Marquis Linhuai.
Linhuai Hou's naval temporary camp was about five miles away from Zhu Ping'an's Zhejiang army temporary camp.
According to the information obtained from chatting with the doctor, the navy of Linhuai Hou participated in the defense of the city. There were also three seriously injured patients on Ande Gate. One of them was seriously injured and unconscious. The doctor gave up on treating him. There were two more people.
One of them was like Hei San, he only saved his life but not his leg, and the other one only lost an arm.
The temporary camp of Linhuai Hou was built in a sloppy and disorderly manner. If there were thieves trying to break into the camp, they would definitely kill them.
"My dear nephew, please come in quickly."
When Linhuai Hou learned that Zhu Ping'an had arrived, he walked out quickly with a rosy face to greet him.
In this Yingtian defense battle, he and Duke Wei made a great splash. Although their performance was far inferior to Zhu Ping'an's great achievement in wiping out the Japanese pirates, it far surpassed that of other local officials in Yingtian.
He argued with the Duke of Wei and insisted on identifying the suspects near the city gate. He captured and killed 24 Japanese pirates who had sneaked into the city in advance and 56 accomplices who had been instigated by them to rebel.
In the battle report that Yingtian sent to the capital, he and the Duke of Wei occupied a considerable amount of space.
Naturally, a lot of credit was shared.
All this was thanks to Zhu Ping'an. Three days ago, Zhu Ping'an made a well-reasoned analysis that 24 Japanese pirates had sneaked into Yingtian City in advance. He repeatedly warned and urged them to identify all people near the city gate to prevent the Japanese pirates from joining forces to seize the gate. He and Duke Wei were credited with identifying and killing the Japanese pirates and their internal collusion.
It was for this reason that when Linhuai Hou learned that Zhu Ping'an had arrived, he ran out to greet him so enthusiastically.
"Thank you for coming from afar to welcome me, uncle." Zhu Ping'an bowed and stepped forward, greeting with a smile.
"My dear nephew, why are you being so polite to me? It's cold and windy outside. Don't let me freeze you. Come into the tent with me quickly."
Marquis Linhuai stepped forward, grabbed Zhu Ping'an's hand, and walked towards the commander's tent with great enthusiasm. On the way, he ordered his personal soldiers to prepare wine and food.
Zhu Ping'an was not used to the ancient way of men holding hands to show intimacy. He withdrew his hand without leaving a trace, taking the opportunity to refuse the wine and food, and explained his purpose to Linhuai Hou, "Uncle, there is no need for wine and food. I have to go to other camps later. I came here this time because I heard that there are several seriously injured patients in your camp. It happened that I got a secret medicine for treating sword injuries and bruises when I was in Jingnan. Although it can't revive the dead, the effect is extraordinary. I specially came to offer it to you to treat the seriously injured in your camp."
"Oh, it's a secret medicine. Nephew, the three seriously injured patients in my camp have been examined by doctors today. One of them was so seriously injured that three doctors consulted together and gave up. I have already sent someone to notify his family to prepare for his funeral and come to see him for the last time. As for the other two seriously injured patients, the doctors have already treated them. Although they will lose limbs, their lives are saved. We appreciate your kindness, nephew, and there is no need to waste the secret medicine on them." Linhuai Hou heard this and said without taking it too seriously.
"Uncle, the efficacy of my secret medicine is extraordinary and may have miraculous effects." Zhu Ping'an insisted.
"Well, since my nephew insists, they are like that anyway, so there is no harm in giving it a try."
Marquis Linhuai still didn't take it seriously. Seeing that Zhu Ping'an was determined to insist, he agreed casually.
Zhu Ping'an ordered the soldiers to give medicine to the three seriously injured patients. The method was simple and easy to use, half of it was applied externally and the other half was taken internally. For those who were seriously injured and unconscious, the medicine was poured into their mouths by prying them open.
After they finished using the medicine, Zhu Ping'an left them more than ten packets of medicine and asked them to take them once in the morning and evening for three days.
Then, Zhu Ping'an ignored Linhuai Hou's enthusiastic retention and went to the next location - Wei Guogong's Zhenwu Camp.
Linhuai Hou accompanied him enthusiastically.
When they arrived at the Zhenwu Camp, Zhu Ping'an stated his purpose. The Duke of Wei had not taken the seriously ill and injured patients in the camp seriously in the first place, as they were just a few soldiers. And with the precedent of the Marquis of Linhuai, he naturally accepted Zhu Ping'an's kindness and allowed Zhu Ping'an to give medicine to the seriously ill and injured patients in the camp.
After achieving his goal, Zhu Ping'an politely declined the Duke of Wei's enthusiastic invitation to stay, bid farewell to the Duke of Wei and the Marquis of Linhuai, and then Zhu Ping'an led Liu Mu and his personal soldiers to visit the next camp with more wounded soldiers.
Although he was not familiar with the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief accepted Zhu Ping'an's kindness after he revealed his identity.
After all, Zhu Ping'an is now the great hero who defeated the Japanese in the Yingtian Defense Battle. What are a few soldiers? What's the harm in that? Besides, they are already like that.
Next, as the last stop, Zhu Ping'an decided to visit Hu Zongxian.
Yesterday morning, Hu Zongxian led more than a thousand soldiers to ambush the Japanese pirates, but they were killed by the Japanese pirates, and countless soldiers were injured. Except for half of the elite soldiers he led out who were killed by the Japanese pirates, almost all the rest were injured.
At present, these soldiers are still under the control of Hu Zongxian, temporarily forming their own battalion, and have not yet returned to their respective barracks.
In terms of the number of wounded soldiers, he has the most.
When he saw Hu Zongxian, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but be surprised.
There was no other reason. Hu Zongxian looked too haggard and decadent. He had no energy at all and smelled like alcohol. He probably drank too much and was drunk. He could barely stand and staggered when he walked. It seemed like he couldn't even open his eyes.
Okay.
"Haha, my dear brother Zihou, I had no chance to congratulate you on your great achievement in destroying the Japanese. Unlike me, haha, you went out of the city to destroy the Japanese and instead were destroyed by the Japanese. Of the more than a thousand elite soldiers, only half were wounded. Alas, I am ashamed, really ashamed..." Hu Zongxian staggered forward, put his arm around Zhu Ping'an's neck, and said half with self-mockery and half with envy.
"When the Japanese pirates attacked, no one in the city dared to go out to fight the Japanese pirates. Only Lord Hu stepped forward. His courage overwhelmed the whole city. Moreover, victory and defeat are common in the military. Even the famous generals in history have suffered defeat. Failure is the mother of success. You can stand up from where you fell. Why does Lord Hu need to drink to drown his sorrows? As the saying goes, jade cannot be made into a useful tool without being polished. I believe that after this incident, Lord Hu will definitely learn from experience.
We have benefited a lot. The little reputation we have lost this time can be recovered from the Japanese pirates tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold, or even ten thousandfold in the future."
Zhu Ping'an shook his head slightly, reached out to support Hu Zongxian, and encouraged and comforted him with a serious face.
Failure is the mother of success!
Just get up from where you fell, why drink to drown your sorrows
Zhu Ping'an's words were like a wake-up call, and the drunk Hu Zongxian was stunned and stood still. After a few seconds, Hu Zongxian bowed to Zhu Ping'an solemnly, "Thank you, Zihou, for waking me up from my dream. I was obsessed with appearances. I will get up from where I fell. I will pay the Japanese pirates back a thousand times for yesterday's shame!"
"I believe Lord Hu can do it." Zhu Ping'an nodded vigorously.
After a brief greeting, Zhu Ping'an stated his purpose, and Hu Zongxian naturally would not refuse.
Therefore, more than a dozen seriously injured patients in Hu Zongxian's camp took secret knife wound medicine internally and applied externally.
Zhu Ping'an left fifty packets of secret knife wound medicine, politely declined Hu Zongxian's enthusiastic retention, and said goodbye and returned to the camp.
