Chapter 572: Shame and Courage, Good is great
Chapter 572: Shame and Courage, Good is great
As night fell, the enchanting moonlight fell again peacefully, turning the heavens and the earth into a silvery white, and if there was no daytime battle, such moonlight would make people feel very quiet. Hand in hand with couples, strolling among the flowers is definitely a joy in life.
However, for the Tiger Ben Army soldiers who had just finished the battle, the moonlight was not what they cared about the most. Couples, between flowers, are not what they care about. What they are most concerned about is whether there will be any accidents on such a night. All they care about is whether they can sleep soundly.
On Yonghan Beach, bonfires are everywhere, and there is a peaceful atmosphere everywhere. The officers and men of the Dengzhou Naval Division, who had just escaped from danger, finally returned to a safe and calm environment, and they were all greedily breathing fresh air. Some people just fell asleep quietly.
This is the northern part of Lianyun Island, a very large beach. This beach actually has no name, Zhang Zhun named it Yonghan Beach. After the daytime battle was over, Zhang Zhun brought his troops here. Prepare to take a break here for the night and prepare for tomorrow's battle. Spending the night on a boat is not as comfortable as spending the night on land.
This beach is also the only way for Gaizhou Wei Tatars to reinforce Lianyun Island. If Gaizhouwei's Tartars want to reinforce Lianyun Island, they must go ashore on this beach. If the Tartars of Lianyun Island try to escape, they will also need to pass through here. The Tiger Ben army spent the night here, just blocking the reinforcement road of Gaizhou Wei Tatars, and at the same time cutting off the escape and retreat of Lianyun Island Tatars, killing two birds with one stone.
The warships of the Tiger Ben Army were all docked near Yonghan Beach. However, due to the lack of a port, the water near Yonghan Beach was shallow, and even the warships could not dock. When everyone went ashore, they had to rely on sampans. Or maybe you just wade into the water.
After setting foot on Yonghan Beach, the officers and men of the Dengzhou Naval Division were paralyzed on the beach one after another, and they never wanted to move again. For them, everything that happened during the day was like going around in a ghost gate. If they were to walk a little slower, they would go to the left and go to hell. Fortunately, God bless them, and they chose to go to the right. After a thrilling battle, they finally turned out.
The Tiger Army carried a large amount of supplies on board, including water, food, and medicine, as well as five military doctors sent by the Medical Department. After settling down at Yonghan Beach, the five military doctors were busy checking the officers and men of the Dengzhou Naval Division. According to Zhang Zhun's battle plan, the officers and men of the Dengzhou Naval Division were to be put to use immediately after they were rescued.
Most of the officers and men of the Dengzhou Naval Division were due to long-term hunger, insufficient food and clothing, resulting in serious malaise. As long as the diet slowly returns to normal, coupled with proper exercise, it is possible to recover. Of course, Luo Kai's eyes will definitely not be able to recover. This is God's punishment for him, and he himself admits it.
Zhang Zhun selected a ship with the worst performance and transported the seriously injured back to Laizhou Mansion for treatment first. Those who stay on the beach now are basically capable of exercising. After eating the food and water, their expressions looked pretty good. Some people are tired and fall asleep early. Some people toss and turn and can't sleep.
In the middle of Yonghan Beach, the bonfire is particularly bright and the voices are buzzing. The snipers around Zhang Zhun are gathering together for a big meal. In their hands, they all hold iron thorns made of iron wire, pick up pieces of horse meat, and then put them on top of charcoal and slowly grill them. After a while, there is a charming fragrance wafting out.
Lu Yidian not only knows some words, but also knows some barbecue techniques. It just so happened that Brother Wei and Meng Xia also knew a little, so the three of them became full-time barbecue masters, constantly roasting pieces of horse meat, and then distributing them to the people around them. Liu Mang and Huang Xian worked on the side, cut the washed horse meat into standard pieces, and then handed it to the three of them for barbecue.
Roasted horse meat, in addition to their own consumption, also has a large amount of delivery. People around you, as long as they are interested, can get their gifts. Of course, Zhang Zhun and others are indispensable. The most fragrant horse meat was sent to Zhang Zhun.
"One?"
Zhang Zhun picked up a piece of roasted fragrant horse meat with an iron thorn, handed it to Chen Yaoyang casually, and said kindly.
"Thank you!"
Chen Yaoyang hurriedly thanked him and reached out to take the horse meat.
Zhang Zhun pulled the fork back casually, picked a piece of fragrant horse meat, and gnawed on it by himself. While eating, he kept nodding his head, and kept giving a thumbs up to Lu Yidian and Meng Xia, admiring their craftsmanship is indeed good. Lu Yidian, Meng Xia and others were more motivated, and buried themselves in roasting more horse meat.
They were able to eat fresh roast horse meat, thanks to Mao Huihui and others. In the daytime battle, the Tiger Ben army killed a lot of Tartars, and also killed a lot of Tartars' horses. The corpse of the tartar is just that, human flesh is not delicious, but horse meat is a good delicacy. So they quietly landed on the shore, cut a lot of horse meat, and pulled it back to make barbecue.
On the ships of the Tiger Ben Navy, there is no refrigerator, and fresh meat cannot be preserved, and they want to eat fresh meat, which is absolutely impossible. What you can usually eat is cured meat, salted meat, salted fish and other meats. After eating for a long time, you will feel very tired and do not want to eat. Therefore, compared to pork and beef, although horse meat is very unpalatable, it is a rare delicacy for naval soldiers.
On this night, several senior officers of the Tiger Army, Zhang Zhun, Li Jicheng, Huang Shijun, Mao Huihui, Zhang Xuehai, Zhang Shenggao, Wang Chenglin, Ling Sishao and others, sat around the bonfire, chatted while eating roast horse meat, and enjoyed this rare leisure. The battle during the day was quite smooth, and everyone was in a good mood. As long as this momentum continues, there should be no problem in defeating the Tartars in the end.
Luo Kai and Chen Yaoyang were also invited to sit aside. However, the two obviously couldn't let go. Sitting next to him and not moving. Especially Chen Yaoyang, obviously had some concerns, looking forward and backward, he wanted to speak several times, but in the end he didn't say anything. For this rare quiet night, everyone cherishes it very much, since they don't speak, others will naturally not be reluctant.
"Lord Governor, I ......"
Chen Yaoyang suddenly wanted to speak and stopped.
"What? Say! ”
He opened his mouth and nibbled on roast horse meat, and said casually.
"I ...... Lord Dudu, if the Tianjin Navy Master is willing to join the Tiger Ben Army...... I mean, if ...... I wonder what special measures adults will have? ”
Chen Yaoyang said tentatively.
"All employees are laid off, and they are recruited by competition."
Zhang Zhun said bluntly.
"What's that saying?"
Chen Yaoyang hurriedly asked.
Zhang Zhun looked at Huang Shijun's nunu mouth and said casually: "Lao Huang, you can talk about it." ”
Huang Shijun nodded, ate the roast horse meat in his mouth, and then introduced it in detail.
The so-called full layoff of all personnel means, of course, all the officers and men of the Tianjin Naval Division, and it should be noted that all officers and men, including officers and soldiers, must be laid off. Whether it is a sailor or a general, or the most ordinary sailor, they will all be laid off. In other words, their military status has been completely dismissed.
What the Tiger Army needs is people who really do things, and they don't want any redundancy. Without the courage to fight the Tartars, without the skill to respond, there is no hope of joining the Tiger Army. Therefore, the Tiger Ben Army will hold professional skill competitions for the original officers and soldiers. If you can pass the test, you can get on the job. On the contrary, if you can't pass the test, you can't get on the job.
For soldiers who do not meet the requirements, the approach of the Tiger Army is simple, demobilization. When demobilized, you can go back to your hometown or choose another place by yourself. Of course, you can also move to Laizhou or Dengzhou and live a new life. If it is relocated to an area controlled by the Tiger Army, five acres of land per person can definitely be guaranteed.
"Lord Governor, our original private property ......"
Chen Yaoyang said hesitantly.
"Private property? Can be kept! ”
Zhang Zhun said briskly.
Chen Yaoyang breathed a sigh of relief.
The greatest ability of these officials is to accumulate some private property. The Tianjin Navy Division was indeed very poor, and the imperial court had not allocated any silver taels, and almost all the warships were in tatters and could only be used in the Bohai Bay. If you go out of the Yellow Sea or the South China Sea, maybe a storm will come and overturn the battleship. However, the ability of officials in the Ming Dynasty to make money is always very strong. Tianjin sailors also have their own way of making money.
Although Chen Yaoyang is a small guerrilla general, he has also accumulated a net worth of several thousand taels of silver. Of course, compared with many big people, the net worth of a few thousand taels of silver is simply not worth mentioning. A big man like Wen Tiren has a net worth of at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
But Chen Yaoyang is very concerned. Because, in Tianjin, it is indeed not easy to accumulate a net worth of several thousand taels of silver. If the Tiger Army wanted to confiscate these private properties, he would definitely be unwilling. I believe that there are no other high-level leaders of Tianjin Sailors who are willing.
"...... from the field"
Chen Yaoyang said slowly.
"What is stipulated in the Juntian Order, how do you implement it."
Zhang Zhun still said cheerfully.
Chen Yaoyang quietly breathed a sigh of relief again.
Among the high-ranking officials of the Tianjin Water Division, there are still some fields, but they are relatively scattered. After all, the Tianjin sailor was raised by his stepmother, and no one loved him, and the land and property distributed to them were all scattered. Jingshi is a place where powerful and high-ranking officials are concentrated, and the fertile fields of Beizhili are all occupied by powerful and high-ranking officials, and it is not their turn to be such small fish and shrimp as generals, guerrillas, etc. According to the requirements of the Juntian Order, the land property should be divided, and Chen Yaoyang was not very resistant.
He knew very well that according to the principle of all employees being laid off and being hired through competition, it was obviously impossible for those of them who were to be officials to take up their posts. In the future, it is impossible for the Tiger Ben Army Navy to still have the position of these inactive officials. In other words, they can only take the floating wealth they have accumulated and become a small landlord. Perhaps, Laizhou Mansion is a good choice?
Luo Kai listened beside him and said tentatively, "My lord, we ...... Didn't get the head of the Tartar ......"
Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "Shame and courage, kindness is great." I hope that you will be able to show your determination with practical actions. If you are willing to participate in the competition, you can also apply. I can blame the past. ”
Luo Kai breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Zhun's words are tantamount to no longer discriminating against them, and giving them a chance to wash away their shame. In fact, they really want to wash the stains off their bodies. There are few people who are willing to be scolded as traitors behind their backs. The word traitor is meant to insult the ancestors and accumulate descendants. There has been a lesson before, they will not be traitors anymore if they are killed.
In the second half of the night, Zhang Zhun's meaning quickly spread among the officers and soldiers of the Tianjin Navy Division and the Dengzhou Water Division. Everyone is thinking about their own way out. After witnessing the battle of the Tiger Army during the day, many sailors were moved to join the Tiger Army. Of course, there are also many people who are not ready to continue to participate in the war. They are tired of the war, so they should obediently go to Laizhou Mansion, get five acres of land, and live a stable life.
At night, everyone sleeps on the beach. Zhang Zhun is no exception. Faintly, gunshots continued to come from the south, indicating that the battle in the middle of Lianyun Island was still continuing. At night, Zhang Yin came to report that he had killed one hundred and fifty-eight Tartars. However, three Huben Marines were also killed and five were wounded. It can be seen that the counterattack of the Tartars is still relatively strong.
Zhang Yin said helplessly that the terrain hidden by the Tartars was too complicated. It's like a labyrinth. The Tartars were familiar with the terrain of the labyrinth, but the Tiger Army was not familiar with it, so they naturally had the upper hand. The battle between the Tiger Army and the Tartars is like playing hide and seek with the Tartars. If you're not careful, you're going to suffer. The battle policy of the Tartars is also very clear, that is, to inflict losses on the Tiger Ben Army as much as possible, and then force the Tiger Ben Army to retreat.
Even the commander of the Marine Corps, Fang He, was hit by an arrow from the Tartar, but fortunately it was not a critical part, and his life was saved. However, it will definitely be in bed for two months. For this reason, Fang He was so angry that he scolded. Later, the Marines made extensive use of ** packs, which directly blew up the maze and then pushed it flat. The battle situation is just a little better. However, such a flat push is too great for the consumption of ** packages.
"Since the ** package is effective, let's continue to use it!"
"When you're done with it, just let it be sent from the rear."
Zhang Zhun said without thinking.
After resting for a night, early the next morning, Zhang Zhun came to the middle of Lianyun Island. He first went to see Fang He's injuries. Sure enough, Fang He was shot in the thigh by Tartar's arrowhead. Fortunately, the arrow was shot from behind, and it did not hit the artery, so life was safe. Speaking of his injury, Fang He was also very helpless. Who knew that the Tartar would be able to suddenly push the dirt out of the dirt from behind? This labyrinth is really weird.
