Chapter 118: Successful Raid

Wei Zheng nodded affirmatively, and continued to affirm to Zhou Shuyuan.

"Commander, you have to remember that we can never underestimate the thoughts and determination of our brothers."

"I can say with certainty that after a group of brothers are accustomed to the high salaries and treatment of our Haw Par Army, and then let them go back to the old days of hunger, absolutely no one will agree. If one day in the future, let them know that the imperial court is going to take back a qiē from their hands, and let them go back to the hard days of the past. I can say with certainty that in order to defend their homeland, these brothers will take the initiative to rise up against the court without us mobilizing. ”

"In addition to that, I have another idea. After we enter the customs and have our own territory, we must find a way to find a wife for each of our brothers, so that they can settle down and have children on the territory of our tiger and leopard army. When the time comes, they will not only fight for themselves, but for their own families, their wives and children, and they will have to fight to the end with our Tiger and Leopard Army. ”

After breaking through the six fortresses of Tartar in a row, Dol Luo, who was far away in Zunhua City, had to react.

As a result, Wang Feng had to return to Mushroom Yu with the last batch of harvest.

At this moment, the small mushroom Yu has been stuffed with all kinds of materials and people. Not only that, but thousands of recruits who have been recruited into the ranks are undergoing the most basic military training under the command of the recruit battalion.

Looking at the convoy that kept entering the mushroom Yu under his feet, and looking at Wang Feng, who had gained so much from attacking alone for the first time in front of him, with an excited smile on his face. Wei Zheng said with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Strategist, you first inform our battalion commander of the attack hero, the great results of his attack for ten consecutive days, by the way, the other brothers are happy and open their eyes."

"Yes, General......"

"In ten consecutive days of sorties, we broke through seven fortresses of the Tartars and wiped out more than 600 Tartars. In addition to these results, the biggest gain is that Camp Commander Wang has continuously sent back our mushroom abundance of personnel and materials. ”

"In addition to the fact that the batch of materials and personnel in front of him was not counted, in the first six battles, Battalion Commander Wang rescued a total of 5,643 young men and women from the hands of the Tartars, except for 1,200 women, the rest are young and middle-aged people who can become soldiers immediately."

"In addition, we have taken eight hundred and sixty-five men from the six Sebourg prisoners of the infantry who have surrendered to the Tartars."

"In addition to the harvest of people, the harvest of materials is far beyond our imagination."

"For the most important food for our Haw Par Army, we have captured 450,000 catties, which is enough for our Haw Par Army to eat for two months. In terms of silver, a total of more than 185,600 taels of silver, 23,730 taels of gold, and 435 catties of various gold and silver items were seized. ”

"In terms of weapons, a total of 36 artillery pieces that we can use directly have been captured, and other weapons can reach more than 11,000 catties if they are melted into fine iron."

"In terms of gunpowder, which is very important to our Tiger and Leopard Army, a total of 50 catties of gunpowder and 356 barrels of gunpowder were seized from the Tartars, which is about 18,000 catties."

"The last one is the capture of war horses: in the six battles before and after, a total of 1,120 war horses were captured, and more than 1,300 crossbow horses could only be used to transport supplies......

"It is safe to say that with these supplies and young people, the overall strength of our Haw Par Army will at least more than double."

For these figures, except for Wei Zheng and Zhou Shuyuan, who are really clear, including the specific executor Wang Feng, they are not particularly clear. Therefore, as soon as Zhou Shuyuan finished speaking, Zhao Yun, who heard these numbers for the first time, already sighed with excitement on his face: "General, these seizures are simply amazing, I now know why the entire Mushroom Yu has become so overcrowded unconsciously, it turns out that it is all filled with these harvests." ”

Zhou Shuyuan said: "The harvest is indeed very big. As I believe everyone knows, our Haw Par Army will be paying our soldiers from this month. I can tell you for sure that the silver that Battalion Commander Wang plundered from the Tartars in less than ten days is enough for our Tiger and Leopard Army to pay for at least a year and a half. Therefore, at least in the next year and a half, our Haw Par Army can rest assured that it will boldly expand its army, and there is no need to worry about military salaries. ”

"Let's talk about the seized weapons, although they can't be used directly. However, by melting all of these weapons into fine iron, at least a thousand new muskets could be crafted. ”

"Of course, as I said at the beginning, the biggest gain in this raid is thousands of young people."

"Here, I would like to tell you good news, under the personal mobilization of the general, plus the generous salary of our Haw Par Army. So far, the number of recruits in our Haw Par Army has exceeded 3,000. At present, these recruits are undergoing the most basic military training under the management of the recruit battalion. ”

"In addition, thousands of young people have also given us more than two hundred craftsmen."

"I just got good news from the weapons workshop, after more than 200 craftsmen join the weapons workshop, the number of muskets produced by the weapons workshop every day can at least double."

"Speaking of the weapons workshop, I have another piece of good news to tell you."

"At the request of the general, the weapons workshop conducted a special study of the explosives package. Just the day before yesterday, the weapons workshop created the first new explosive bag that weighed only two catties at noon, but the power was more than twice as great, and it only needed half a catty of gunpowder, and the general gave him a new name, called a grenade. ”

"Because Battalion Commander Wang's operation has captured more than 10,000 catties of gunpowder from the Tartars, plus our original stock, gunpowder can already be described as sufficient in our Tiger and Leopard Army."

"In this case, in order to increase the melee ability of the soldiers, the general has ordered the armory workshop to produce 10,000 grenades as soon as possible. At that time, each soldier, whether it was a sought-after or a musketeer, or even a cavalryman, would be equipped with two grenades for close killing. ”

After Zhou Shuyuan finished speaking, Wei Zheng, who was full of smiles, summed up loudly: "What the military advisor said is very correct, the various benefits brought to my tiger and leopard army by this loot in front of me are definitely not as simple as they seem. And the examples just given by the military advisor are only part of it. I can tell you for sure that this attack by Battalion Commander Wang was a very successful raid. ”

"In the future, when our Tiger and Par Army really grows stronger, this kind of raiding will not only not stop, but will continue. Of course, our targets can only be Tartars and corrupt officials. If there is still a chance in the future, I, Wei Zheng, personally led everyone to rush into the grassland, rushed to the Tartar's house to loot, and let the Tartar taste the taste of family ruin. ”

"Okay, that's all for today, since there are enough recruits, let's have a good rest today, and starting tomorrow, our Haw Par Army will officially start to expand and form our own new Haw Par Army."
