Chapter 105 The competent ones take the lead
The method of treating burns with iron is too cruel, so Ye Ze wondered if he could make some high-concentration liquor to treat the injured soldiers?
It would be best if someone worked with him on this matter. Although he could buy medical alcohol directly from the mall for the wounded soldiers, there was no way to explain where the alcohol came from. After all, he brought so many things when he came, and the wounded camp needed a lot of alcohol.
So Ye Ze first thought of Mu Xingchen and Xu Wu. These two people he could trust and were also capable of getting this done.
When Mu Xingchen heard Ye Ze say that there was a medicine that could be used to disinfect the soldiers' wounds instead of the burn method, his eyes lit up and he repeatedly confirmed whether what he said was true or not.
Ye Ze could only assure them again and again: "Of course it's true!"
"What are we waiting for? Let's get this potion out right now! Just tell me what you need to prepare and I'll go get it for you!" Mu Xingchen said anxiously.
Xu Wu, who had been silent for a long while, stopped him and said, "Xingchen, don't be anxious. Once such a useful potion is really made, it will definitely attract the covetousness of the enemy. Therefore, the fewer people who know the method of making this potion, the better. In my opinion, we still need to find a hidden place..."
Ye Ze frowned and then nodded: "I think what Fifth Brother said makes sense."
Mu Xingchen calmed down and said, "I don't know much about this place, where do you think is suitable?"
"How about we go up the mountain?" Ye Ze made the final decision and then told them about the equipment they would need.
The alcohol content of liquor in this era is about 20 to 30 degrees. Ye Ze wants to use distillation to directly purify the low-alcohol liquor, so they must first prepare a steamer, condenser, and collector, mainly made of copper or iron. It is not difficult to prepare these, just find a blacksmith shop to customize them.
Then there is liquor. Speaking of liquor, Ye Ze thought of the corn liquor brewed at home. He wondered if his elder brother and the others had sold it.
Mu Xingchen and Xu Wu were also men of action. After hearing what Ye Ze said, they immediately took Ye Ze to Yunzhou City to find a blacksmith shop. As for the white wine Ye Ze mentioned, they would just send someone to his house to check. If there was any, they would bring it over. If not, there would be no delay. Customizing ironware takes time anyway.

the other side
After sending away the dead soldiers, Mu Heng was invited by He Chengfeng's men to the meeting tent. Other generals were also there. The only generals going to the battlefield this time were Mu Heng, General Wang of the vanguard camp, and General Hu who was in charge of the reserve army.
He Chengfeng first asked about the battle. If possible, He Chengfeng also wanted to train a few capable generals to serve him.
The Dayu Dynasty suffered heavy casualties in several major battles thirty years ago, and the generals trained later had no practical experience. They also suffered losses in the last battle at the border town. Therefore, there are not many generals that He Chengfeng can use now, otherwise the emperor would not have sent Mu Heng to lead troops to support.
Mu Heng pondered for a moment and said truthfully: "There are indeed a few soldiers with outstanding abilities who can be tested..."
Then, Mu Heng told He Chengfeng about the performance of Ye Ze and others on the battlefield, especially Ye Ze, who not only had outstanding combat capabilities, but also had the ability to make medicines. Mu Heng still remembered this achievement for him.
He Chengfeng looked at Mu Heng in confusion: "There is actually such a capable person in our army?" How come he didn't know? !
Mu Heng nodded, "I will never say a word of falsehood."
When General Wang heard that they were soldiers from his vanguard battalion, he was stunned. How come he didn't know that he had such powerful soldiers under his command?
"We'll know whether it's a lie or not after a try!" He Chengfeng immediately became interested and immediately sent someone to bring Ye Ze and others over.
When the soldiers found Ye Ze, Ye Ze was preparing to go to Yunzhou City with Mu Xingchen and others to find a blacksmith shop.
Upon hearing that it was General He who summoned them, Ye Ze handed the blueprint he had drawn in advance to Mu Xingchen and the other man, and after instructing them on some details, he asked them to go to the blacksmith shop to make them, while he himself followed the soldiers to the meeting tent.
There was a long table placed right in front of the big tent, with a sand table in the middle for war simulations. A group of generals sat on both sides. There was a charcoal fire burning in the corner. When the tent curtain was opened, a warm breeze blew towards you.
Ye Ze came in with his head down, and knelt on his knees as soon as he entered the door: "Greetings, General."
"Get up and raise your head." He Chengfeng sat behind the long desk, glancing at Ye Ze with a leisurely look.
"Thank you, General." Ye Ze slowly stood up and looked up, what caught his eye was He Chengfeng's majestic face. A beard covered the lower half of his face, and his eyes as sharp as swords stared at Ye Ze.
He was actually looking at him too? Being stared at by him, Ye Ze felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart. He turned his head and found that Zhao Youliang and others were also beside him, "Dad? Why are you..."
Zhao Youliang and the other two stood aside, smiling and nodding at him. Goudan was closest to Ye Ze and whispered, "The general summoned us here!"
Just when Ye Ze was wondering why General He had summoned them, He Chengfeng asked directly: "Do you know why I called you here?"
"This..." If you don't tell them, how will they know?
Ye Ze bowed and saluted: "General, please let me know!"
"Hahaha, you don't have to be so reserved. The general won't eat you!" General Wang on the side laughed and said, "It was Deputy General Mu who mentioned your performance on the battlefield to the general. You have made a contribution!"
Except for Ye Ze, Zhao Youliang and the other two seemed a little excited. They had just entered the battlefield and they had already made contributions? Was it so easy to make contributions?
of course not!
He Chengfeng curled his lips and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you new recruits could be praised by Deputy General Mu. In the military camp, the capable ones have always been promoted. Even if you are new recruits, you can still be promoted if you have made contributions. However..."
At this point, He Chengfeng stopped laughing, straightened his expression and continued, "In order to convince everyone in the army, I have decided to let you have a competition in public. What do you think?"
What can they do? Can they say no? Of course not!
"The general will take care of everything!" Ye Ze said with confidence.
"it is good!"
He Chengfeng made such an arrangement because, firstly, he had to consider the opinions of other veterans. Secondly, he also wanted to see the abilities of these new recruits with his own eyes. He couldn't just listen to Mu Heng's words and promote these new recruits.
There is a third reason, that is, he wants to use this incident to consolidate his position in the hearts of the soldiers, and let them know that in his He Chengfeng's military camp, no matter whether they are new recruits or old soldiers, as long as they are capable soldiers, they will be rewarded if they have made meritorious services!
