Chapter VIII Military Physician
It is said that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, maybe it is a blessing or not a disaster. Zuo Houde wanted to escape this recruitment, but he did not escape.
On July 15th, the conscription was in full swing, and it had been more than ten days, and I think it was coming to an end.
Of course, since I learned that this recruitment had nothing to do with me, Zuo Houde has not paid much attention to this recruitment.
Unexpectedly, an elder came to the family on that day.
"Uncle, why are you here? If you have something to do, send someone to inform me. Why come here in person? Rong'er serves tea for uncle." Zuo Jizu was not at home, so Zuo Houde took on the task of entertaining elders.
This old uncle was the elder who came from Zuo Houde's family last time, and he seemed quite close to Zuo Houde's family.
"I'm here this time and I'm asking you something."
"I don't know what? But I don't know much about the family affairs. My father is working hard. Otherwise, I'll call my father back." Zuo Houde asked.
The old uncle waved his hand, "It has nothing to do with your father. A few days ago, the Duwei of the Conscription Department came to the clan and said that he was asking us Zuo to help introduce a few military doctors. It just so happened that you are a medical student. I came here to ask if you have any intentions?"
"Uncle, I am the only son in the family. I have never paid attention to the recruitment matters." Zuo Houde frowned and expressed his attitude.
"You child, this military doctor is related to the recruitment, but he is not in the army. I heard from the commander Cao that this time the recruitment was enough, but the military doctors in this battalion were insufficient. If you enter the military camp, you will not follow the new recruits. You are considered an officer, and you are better than you now in terms of treatment and future."
Zuo Houde still frowned and was about to say something.
The old uncle said again, "I went to Nandaying in the outer city, only more than ten miles south of the city. The soldiers said that the soldiers should not enter and exit the military camp at will, but you military doctors have been ten days and a half months, and there is still a day to go home to visit relatives. What's more, the military doctors are guarding the logistics site and can still make you encounter danger."
"Uncle, you still need to discuss it with your father." Zuo Houde clasped his fists and said seriously.
"Okay, if you are interested, come and tell me yes." After that, the old uncle left with a cane.
Rong'er then came out of the inner room, "Husband, what's the matter with uncle?"
Only then did Zuo Houde tell his wife about the matter and wanted to hear her opinion.
"We still have to make the decision on this matter by ourselves. It's better to wait until our father comes back before we discuss it together."
At night, the family gathered in the backyard.
Zuo Houde told his father what his uncle said in the afternoon, and he also wanted to hear his opinions.
Zuo Jizu frowned and heard that there was no danger, so he clotted his eyebrows.
"Uncle has always taken good care of our family. This seems to be a bad thing, but you are newlyweds and you are going to part with each other, but you have to make your own decisions."
It was late at night, and Zuo Houde was still thinking about the feasibility of things. To be honest, Zuo Houde really wanted to try it. Not to mention that he had only read the military camp in his previous life in books, but had a chance in this life, but had never seen it.
Furthermore, if you don’t have to worry too much about safety, how many men can refuse this passionate military camp and battle on the battlefield.
Passion has nothing to do with age. It is really the saying that "the veteran does not die, but it just gradually witheres."
However, this newlywed really makes people fall into a gentle place.
"Xiao Rong'er, I plan to go to the military camp."
"As long as my husband has thought about it, I have no objection. However, this military camp is not a good place after all, so I am very careful." Xiao Rong'er leaned against Zuo Houde's chest and told him carefully.
Zuo Houde hugged his wife in his arms, "I am not at home, Rong'er can do some needlework with her mother and others. Although those aunts and sisters usually like to talk about family matters, they are all very kind elders."
"I know it, it's late at night, so let's take a break soon."
...
The second day,
Zuo Houde went to the clan and told his uncle about the news.
"Although the military camp is difficult, the future is bright. Please go, your husband, so don't worry about the family of the clan."
As the old uncle said, he told Zuo Houde about the military affairs, and Zuo Houde should pay attention to these things.
Zuo Houde figured out the things in the clan and rushed to the pharmacy. He also had to talk to the teacher about entering the military camp.
July 20th, sunrise, great.
My mother and Zuo Houde packed up their clothes, took some jerky made at home, and brought tools for medical practice. Zuo Jizu built Zuo Houde from the iron shop, a sharp sword that only allowed him to stay by his side and used as a protective body.
Zuo Houde had no nerve to tell him that the sword was lighter.
My wife didn't give me any items, just a care that was indescribable in her eyes.
Recruitment Office,
Twenty or thirty men all have wide robes and big sleeves on a medicine box. Zuo Houde is among them, and he looks particularly young, while most of the others are men in their thirties and forties. Except for a few of these people, Zuo Houde, is known to him. After all, he is also an acquaintance in his industry.
That's right, this group of people will be the military doctors in the future.
There are not many people in this group of military doctors who are too old, and they cannot withstand the fatigue of running around in the military camp.
The group arrived, and two teams of elite soldiers in armor escorted the military doctors to the military camp.
The address of the military camp is not like people imagined to be placed in the city or in the wild.
In ancient times, cities were built into inner cities and outer cities. The inner cities were called "city" and the outer cities were called "cun". The system of city cun was the main form of ancient urban construction.
In fact, the use of inner cities and outer cities in each dynasty is roughly the same. The outer cities mainly build fortifications and thicken the city walls to protect the entire city. For example, the so-called moat in ancient times is outside the outer city walls.
Of course, you can't see the moat in Youzhou City, it will have frozen long ago.
Most of the troops were stationed in outer cities, such as the ancient army occupied the city or sacrificed the city, which was called the outer city. Of course, the outer city was gone, so the inner city naturally could not be defended.
Now, the Nandaying where Zuo Houde is going is a military camp in the outer city.
Because Zuo Houde didn't pay much attention to the recruitment, he saw a very kind-faced old man next to him. This is Doctor Zhang from Xingrentang, named Zhang Shiqian. Zuo Houde once drank tea with him.
"Brother Zhang, isn't this recruitment of 200,000? How can we have twenty or thirty doctors be enough?"
"It turns out that it is Brother Zuo. Although he was the 16 states of Yanyun under the rule of 200,000 princes, there may be less than 50,000 people in Youzhou. These 50,000 people are divided into four camps, each camp only has more than 10,000 people. In addition, there are military doctors in the camp, so we are just going to take action."
I soon arrived at Nandaying. Zuo Houde looked around and saw that the entire military camp was planned in an orderly manner and the layout was well organized. The barracks and courtyard corridors were also arranged in an orderly manner. The venues for training soldiers were also neatly classified. First, different departments had their own camps.
Here we will also talk about the differences between military camps. This military camp is divided into marching camps and garrison camps. The former is a temporary camp built during marching and fighting. Military camps are usually stationed after the scouts or cavalry in front are determined to be safe.
The geographical location of the military camp station also has strict requirements. Generally, it depends on the distance between the two armies fighting, whether the grain transport is convenient, and whether the teams behind are convenient to support.
Generally speaking, the soldiers in the military camp are only a part of the soldiers, and there will be a small number of soldiers stationed behind them, waiting for the cavalry to notify them at any time to see if they need support.
The second is to set up tents and walls. After the military camp decided to station, it was to set up tents, build tents and build foils and preventive measures. These two were generally not in sequence and were carried out simultaneously. Setting up tents does not require the collection of wood on site as we thought.
During the march, there will be a team responsible for transporting ropes and wood needed for tents. About five people transport the materials needed for a tent. When they arrived at the military camp, several people set up their own tents. Since the raw materials were not needed to be found now and the division of labor was clear, setting up tents was very fast.
The latter is a camp like Nandaying where barracks are built and only waiting for the garrison. Generally, it is built in outer cities. In addition to training soldiers, the soldiers guarding the city on the city wall also live in such garrison camps.
Such a military camp is actually not like the military camps during marches and wars. The garrisons have their own barracks built, and the conditions are still good.
