On September 1, 1790, because there were too many prisoners of war captured, Zhao Xin only sent a small-scale attack force composed of ten armored vehicles and two infantry battalions in the morning to deter the fleeing Russian army.

However, what surprised the Northern Navy was that the news of the fall of the Jima had spread rapidly within the Russian army after a night of fermentation. Compared with those cavalry that could quickly transfer, the Russian infantry behind the palace hesitated and gave up the resistance after seeing the armored vehicles of the Northern Navy approaching, and sent people to contact the surrender.

Faced with the battlefield situation being attacked on both sides and the Siberian wilderness that is about to enter the winter, the panicked Russian army has understood that surrender is the only way out at present.

For Easterners, being captured on the battlefield is a shame. Some people would rather die in battle than be captured. However, for Westerners, if they can't beat them and cannot escape, they will definitely surrender. As long as they don't become traitors, no one will despise or punish themselves for this.

As a result, the attacking troops stopped after only twenty kilometers ahead. There was no way, and there were more and more Russian troops surrendering with the company. The Northern Navy, which had only more than one thousand people, was really unsure of facing thousands of enemy prisoners.

After learning the news, Zhao Xin had to send a cavalry battalion to escort the prisoners back first. Then he quickly sent a message to Zhang Jingxuan, who was in charge of Irkutsk, asking him to hire civilians among the new immigrants and lower-class citizens as soon as possible to build a temporary prisoner of war camp two kilometers east of Usolier.

Zhang Jingxuan, who received the telegram, was shocked by the number of prisoners of war above and knew that there was another big victory. He had no idea of ​​confrontation with Zhao Xin now, so he hurriedly summoned the city's secretary Markovic and asked him to issue a notice immediately in the city, recruiting carpenters, stonemasons, blacksmiths and other strong laborers with two daily wages of North Sea silver dollars, and quickly rushed to Usolier to report to the Sixth Regiment of the North Sea Army, which was responsible for the reserve mission.

Don't forget that many Siberian towns were predecessors of prisons, so the settlers in the city were very familiar with building prisons.

At the same time, Wu Siyu, who was in charge of the Jaxa prisoner-of-war management camp, received news from Zhao Xin on August 28 that he had sent a team of troops and was on the way to come. In order to test the backbone elements of the future "Cossack Kingdom", Alexander Pugachev and his 1,500 loyal subordinates were also accompanied by Alexander Pugachev and his 1,500 loyal subordinates.

Starting a year ago, the former Don Cossack Cavalry, 35-year-old Krutogrov, was officially renamed Alexander Ivanovic Pugachev, and his identity was the eldest son left by Yemelyan Ivanovic Pugachev among the people.

In fact, Pugachev's eldest son Trofim is still alive, and he is 25 years old this year. Unlike East Asian countries who killed all the rebels' families, the Russian Senate refused to prosecute Pugachev's family fifteen years ago because there was no evidence of participating in the riot.

However, Katerina II obviously would not forgive them. Currently, Trofim, his two sisters, and Pugachev's two wives are detained in Kexgolm Castle on the Baltic Sea coast, and have strictly restricted freedom of movement.

In history, this family has been through seven generations of tsars and has not received pardons in their lives. It is said that Pugachev's son lived until he was 126 years old and did not die until 1901.

The sight turned back to Kutulik village.

Starting from the morning of September 1, the Northern Navy separated the Russian prisoners who could still operate in groups of 500 people. Each ten people tied their right arms with ropes and connected them. They were then escorted by a platoon of live ammunition in infantry, and set off towards Usolier one after another.

Because there were a large number of wounded prisoners among the Russian army, the medical soldiers of the North Navy companies first classified the injuries of these people. Those who did not need treatment for the time being should be transferred in a few carriages; as for those who had broken arms and legs, or even those who were in danger of life, they could only rescue them first.

The reason why Zhao Xin did this was not to feel sorry for the enemy, but to have a large number of casualties that would cause the disease to spread and even affect his own soldiers.

Since ancient times, injuring and infection have not been the culprit of large-scale deaths of injured soldiers, but infectious diseases are. Before modern military medical treatment achieved great development, dysentery, malaria, typhoid fever and pneumonia were the most common infectious diseases on the battlefield, and even smallpox.

The management of prisoners of war is a science, not to say that the enemy can be captured and completed. Whether it is preferential treatment or transformation, the purpose is to dismantle the enemy's morale and make them give up resistance. Some people naively believe that large-scale massacres or cruel abuse can shock prisoners, which is extremely undesirable in ancient and modern times. Apart from inspiring strong hatred and large-scale resistance, they can get nothing.

The reason is very simple. Thirty years from Hedong to Hexi; if you can do the first day of the lunar calendar, others will do the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar one day.

All prisoners of war have to go through a series of cognitive adjustment processes such as shock, humiliation, escape, struggle, adaptation, return, worry, etc. From the early stage of being captured to the later stage, they have to go through a series of cognitive adjustment processes such as shock, humiliation, escape, struggle, adaptation, return, and worry. How to dispel their humiliation faster and avoid group resistance is extremely urgent for the Northern Navy.

Zhao Xin's approach was to treat the seriously injured, and in full view of the captives.

For the medical soldiers of the North Navy, the wars over the past six years have provided them with a large number of different types of injuries. Some early medical soldiers have now become the backbone of hospitals or medical stations in various places in Beihai Town, and the emergency injuries are handled well. Hong Tao once said that the battlefield is the best "school" for surgeons.

However, when the medical soldiers of the North Navy used medical devices that were very different from this era and eliminated infections for the wounded by using antibiotics, it quickly aroused the great interest of several Russian military doctors and other prisoners, and they gathered to watch the temporary surgical tent.

Petrovic Rudakov was an infantryman of the Astrakhan Grenadier Regiment. During the battle on August 29, he was hit in the abdomen by a stray bullet. When he was unconscious, he was carried into the tent, the North Navy military doctor in charge of the treatment quickly cut open the black and yellow uniform and linen bandages that had been stained with blood and unknown substances, revealing the wound that had begun to become inflamed and swollen.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In this year, military doctors from European countries generally use wine and lead water for local treatment of wounds; the former is used to sterilize and debride, while the latter is an anti-inflammatory agent. Of course, in this era, sulfuric acid, vinegar, quicklime, turpentine oil, salt, mustard, cream, butter, olive oil, etc., will be used for wound treatment. Tourniquets, tape rolls and sponges made of waste cloth are also the main equipment for field hospitals.

After the Russian army fought with the Northern Navy for the past two days, there were many wounded people, either being hit by bullets or being injured by shrapnel. As long as they were not dead, they could still be treated, either sawing their arms or legs. As for those who were shot in the torso, of course, they could not have one or two pieces of the knife, so they could only be treated with a simple wound and then wait for death.

Although vascular ligation was invented by French surgeons as early as the 16th century, in fact, until the early 19th century, the most common hemostasis method used for battlefield treatment was still boiling oil and soldering iron. Only aristocratic officers were eligible to enjoy the treatment of applying a thick layer of animal fat or honey to the wound. The reason for this was that they had no time to do wound sutures, and secondly, for speed.

As for those who have been amputated, burns often damage the skin flap that can be used to cover the wound near the wound, resulting in gangrene, tetanus and erysipelas infection.

At this time, the Russian prisoners who were responsible for carrying the wounded outside the tent were whispering, and the soldiers and military doctors who were in charge of their care could not understand what these people were saying.

"God blessed. Poor Petrovic, he may not be able to get through it."

"Yes, he was shot in the abdomen, and the toxicity of gunpowder is probably going to reach his brain."

"Tell me, Doctor Erskine, is there any help from Petrovic?"

Called Doctor Erskine, a middle-aged man in his forties, said nothing at this moment, frowned, and looked thoughtful on his face.

The first thing that aroused his curiosity was that the doctors in the tent were all wearing light blue coats and hats, masks of the same color on their faces, and at the same time, they wore extremely thin pairs of gloves made of rubber.

Next, a scene that surprised him appeared. The North Navy military doctor first used a pair of strange-shaped tongs, clamped a piece of snow-white cotton, and then dipped it in some unknown transparent liquid to wipe the surroundings of Petrovic's wound.

"Wine?" Dr. Erskine quickly denied his thoughts because he did not smell a trace of wine. Then he saw the Chinese doctor gently stabbed the wound around a transparent tube filled with a little liquid and a fine needle.

"God! Why did that Chinese man stab the poor Petrovic with a needle?!"

"I've suffered a lot now. I was shot yesterday and I'll be given another shot today."

Hearing the Russian prisoners' voices getting louder and louder, the North Navy military doctor in the tent suddenly said "Shut up", as if he was in tune with each other, and the prisoners stopped talking immediately.

Immediately afterwards, the most shocking scene appeared. A military doctor picked up the scalpel that had been prepared and cut the wound on Petrovic's abdomen. As blood flowed down his abdomen, the Russian army outside the tent turned green.

However, outsiders watched the fun and experts looked at the trick. Dr. Erskine was shocked to find that after the doctor injected the liquid from the transparent tube into the wounded by a piston, even though a sharp knife cut a big hole, Petrovic did not respond.

Immediately afterwards, when Erskine and the captives almost stopped breathing, the North Navy military doctor used a silver-shining elbow pliers to penetrate the open blade. Soon, with a "clang" sound, it seemed that something was taken out of Petrovic's stomach. Then, the blade was sutured, medicine was applied, injections were given, and bandaged.

When the military doctor waved to someone to carry the wounded away, a Russian prisoner who walked into the tent suddenly asked in a daze: "Doctor, can poor Petrovic survive?"

Although the North Navy's military doctor couldn't understand what the other party was saying, he still understood something from his begging eyes. So he pulled down his mask, smiled slightly at the prisoner, and nodded.

"Ha! Petrovic is fine! He is saved!"

At this time, the Russian prisoners outside the tent suddenly showed a look of joy, and a guy said, "I know! I know!"

However, there are still people who are worried. Only a veteran in his fifties said: "Don't worry, what will happen? You have to wait until Petrovic wakes up to find out. There is a knife in his stomach, my God! I have never heard of this kind of thing."

However, the discussions of the crowd did not even make a word into Doctor Erskine's ears. At this moment, lightning flashed through his mind, and countless thunder followed.

"God! What medicine is that?!" He was convinced that he had just seen a miracle in surgical medicine.

It is said that military medical treatment was slow to develop before the mid-19th century, and one very important reason was that surgeons who dared to accompany blood and were good at sawing arms and legs were regarded as butchers and were looked down upon for a long time.

It should be noted that surgical anesthesia in modern medicine will not be invented until the 1840s, and syringes will not appear until 1853. Therefore, all invasive surgeries depend on the surgeon's quickness in hands and feet, the sharpness of the surgical tools, and the stability of the mentality, so that the pain of the injured can be reduced.

In this era, for those injured who are penetrating limb muscles, crushing bones and even implanting foreign objects caused by bullets or shells, surgeons generally believe that "gunpowder poison" is the fatal culprit, so the means they can take is amputation.

As a doctor who graduated from the "Leyden University in the Netherlands", Herman Erskine is a follower of Hippocrates and Thomas Sidnham (the founder of clinical medicine and epidemiology), he believes that the surgical treatment methods he masters are already the most cutting-edge technology in clinical medicine in Europe today.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! You should know that in the 17th to 18th centuries, the Tsarist Russian Empire and the Netherlands had extremely close ties in the field of medicine. Many Dutch doctors came to the Tsarist Russian Empire to practice medicine and promoted medical education. Many of them entered the palace to serve the Tsar and nobles, and vigorously promoted the establishment of the first medical school and hospital in Russia during the Peter I period.

However, today's scene made Herman Erskine feel very curious about the orientals in dark green military uniforms. He has already felt that these Chinese from the distant East seem to have far more advanced clinical medical technology than Europe.

Thinking of this, Dr. Erskine unconsciously walked into the tent and said to the military doctor who was the surgeon just now with an excited tone: "Your Excellency, can I stay here to help? I am also a doctor."

"Ah?" The two military doctors looked at each other and thought to themselves what the golden retriever Rakshasa was talking about?

At the same time, Zhao Xin, who was having a headache and had to slow down the attack pace because he had captured too many prisoners of war, unexpectedly received a report from the front. The Russian army sent a messenger saying that there was a handwritten letter from the commander-in-chief of the Russian army, which needed to be submitted to the Supreme Commander of the Northern Navy.

More than an hour later, the messenger was taken outside the temporary command of Kutulik Village. This person was a young cavalry lieutenant. For safety reasons, Sheng Haizhou came forward on behalf of Zhao Xin to receive the letter, but the cavalry lieutenant did not leave. He wanted to take the North Navy's reply back to report.

After receiving the letter, Zhao Xin recognized that the seal on the envelope was exactly the same as the one in the letter of persuasion that he had received before, so he opened the letter with confidence and read it. After a long time of hard work, he finally understood the two pages of text written in fancy Cyrillic. The main content was that Lumentsev had to negotiate the surrender with the North Navy for the lives of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers under his command, hoping that the North Navy could send equal negotiators and put forward preliminary conditions for surrender.

Rumentsev's conditions are: 1. The two sides are in arbitrage. Before the relevant treaties or details are discussed, the Northern Navy shall not launch an attack on the Russian army; 2. The Northern Navy withdraws from Jima, and both sides use the village of Kutulik as the dividing point; 3. Both sides may send personnel to negotiate specific details and withdrawal dates in Kutulik or Irkutsk.

Humph, what are you thinking about? After reading it, Zhao Xin showed a sneer on his lips. This is wherever he went. If Yeniceske was not taken down, the battle would not be over!

Now the largest military force of Tsarist Russia west of the Yenisei River is the enemy in front of her. If it is not taken down in one go, Rumentsev will win a breathing opportunity, the battle will become meaningless, and the Northern Navy will be wasted after finishing up Tsarist Russia's strategic plan to deal with the Qing Dynasty.

"Send a report to Pan Xiucheng's troops and closely monitor the movements of the Russian army. If the enemy tries to cross the Oka River, they must be hit hard and never let them cross the river."

"Send a report to the Lushoushan tribe to speed up their progress and must conquer the Ilimsk Fortress before September 10."

"Send a message to Huji, and let the Third Regiment and the Ainu Camp not stop after seizing the Bratsk Fortress, and quickly move north and west along the Angara River and arrive in Yenisesk before September 20."

After Zhao Xin finished speaking the content of the telegram, the confidential staff officer also wrote the telegram manuscript. He signed it on it, and then said to the staff officer Li Rui: "You will be responsible for the matters we are in contact with the Russian army this time."

Li Rui pointed at his nose in disbelief and asked, "Me? I have never done it before!"

Zhao Xin said: "It's because you haven't done it before. There must be a first time in everything, and you can't just point everything at me."

Li Ruili hurriedly saluted and said, "Please give me instructions."

"Two requirements," Zhao Xin got up and walked back and forth in the house for a few steps, walked to the map and stopped, "If you want to talk, you have to talk today, and there must be a result. Should you surrender or continue to fight? If you want to surrender, then from 3:00 p.m. today, they will put down their weapons and surrender unconditionally. Otherwise, our army will launch a devastating blow on them, and the consequences will be borne by themselves."

Li Rui said: "What if the Russian army asked them to talk to each other?"
