Chapter 364: Recovering the Four Prefectures (Part I

"Dad, this is something sent by Hou Ye Zhang, please take a look!"

Mao Chenglu respectfully sent the list to Mao Wenlong, Mao Wenlong hurriedly took it, watched it carefully, and gradually showed a smile on his face.

"Okay, the Marquis of Dingliao is really generous, now we can send troops to fight the Tartars!" Mao Wenlong said with relief.

The generals on both sides counted the results one after another, and they all looked at it. There were weapons, food, and silver dollars, and it was indeed very comprehensive, and everyone was quite satisfied.

However, some people pouted, and Wang Fu disagreed.

"Dashuai, although there are a lot of things, but they are not much, especially food, only 20,000 stones were given, which is too picky!"

Chen Zhong also said: "That's right, swords, guns and weapons, there are good ones, and there are no good ones, and they can deal with them, but only the food is not good, if you don't eat one meal, you will panic if you don't eat your legs three times, let's fight a battle, 20,000 stones of horror is not enough!" โ€

Mao Chenglu didn't think so, and said coldly: "Marquis Zhang is not our boss, he gives food is a favor, is it a favor that without his food, we won't fight Tartar?" โ€

The atmosphere in the handsome hall was stiff, and Mao Wenlong suddenly smiled: "Don't quarrel with you, I said that Marquis Zhang is generous, these are just deposits, and the big boss is still behind!" โ€

"Oh? Are you sure? โ€

"That's nature." Mao Wenlong said with a smile: "The imperial court has always used people to face forward instead of people to face backward, let us fight, give a little benefit first, and throw you aside when the fight is over, but Marquis Zhang is not such a person, as far as I know, he bought more than a million stone of grain in North Korea alone." โ€

"Oh my God!"

The generals present were all stunned, dumbfounded, and drooling all over the ground, how many people can this feed!

"Zhang Ke can't afford to have gold and silver, how can he buy so much food?" Chen Zhong asked in horror.

"I also admire Hou Ye's ability. Listen, this time you must cooperate with the Yizhou soldiers and play the prestige of our Dongjiang Town, even if you ask for food from Marquis Zhang, my confidence is enough! โ€

The generals of Dongjiang Town nodded when they heard this, they were guarding the deserted Phi Island, food is the biggest curse, if Zhang Ke really has such a great ability, it is not impossible to work for him!

Under the command of Mao Wenlong, Dongjiang Town dispatched the most elite 5,000 people. Advancing by sea and land, they are killing towards Zhenjiang Fort and Yizhou.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Bang bang bang!

The gunshots rang out, and since the Yiju soldiers joined the battle, the situation on the battlefield was completely one-sided. The guns of the Yizhou soldiers are accurate and hateful, and the cavalry of the Tartars is completely the target of swagger. Wherever they passed, the Tartars were shot off their horses. Clean, no hesitation.

After killing the Tartars, they didn't even look at them and ran straight forward. Look for your next target.

Those pirates are looking straight in the eyes, this is fucking amazing!

They fought so hard that they couldn't kill a single Tartar, and they had to take several of them. But what about the Yizhou soldiers, as long as they gently pull the trigger, the Tartar will fall under the horse, which is really more popular than people!

Pirates have always admired the strong. The tough style of the Yizhou soldiers made them almost throw themselves to the ground. They took the initiative to follow behind the firecrackers, and the undead Tartars pounced on them to make up for them, and the dead did not hesitate to cut off their heads. Hanging a bloody human head on his waist is a proof of merit and reward.

Every time they saw a smashed head, the pirates regretted it. A headshot is refreshing, but the head can't be exchanged for silver, it's a waste!

In fact, the pirates didn't know that the Yizhou soldiers had abandoned the practice of calculating their exploits purely by head.

Zhang Ke attached more importance to the battle table, starting from the commander of the army, every officer had to truthfully record the battle after the war, and report it to the higher authorities for verification.

Then the reward was determined, in addition to the traditional silver, Zhang Ke also implemented a new method, that is, to give soldiers the "Battle Hero" medal, divided into gold, silver and bronze three classes.

As long as you get the medal, you have the right to see the official without kneeling, and if you get the silver medal or above, you can be relieved of the status of a military household, and future generations can choose their own careers.

This rule was promulgated, and the soldiers from the military family cried.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang came up with the military household system, I don't know how many people have been driven crazy, one person is a soldier and the whole family suffers, the father is dead, the son is dead, the brother is dead, the brother is dead, the men are all dead, and they have to find a number from relatives' homes, all in all, don't want to escape the curse for generations.

Except for a very small number of people who can pass the imperial examination to remove their military household status, there are also those who run away and become black households in other places, but they also can't get ahead.

Now Zhang Ke has come up with the medal system, which can stimulate the fighting spirit of those military households, and the original combat effectiveness of recruiting soldiers far exceeds that of military households, but after knowing that the battle table is good and can change the fate of a family, every soldier has worked hard.

No matter what kind of tragic battle situation they faced, they did not flinch, and they became the backbone of the Yizhou soldiers.

The Ming army strode forward, gradually forcing the Tartars out of the beach, and the guns rumbled all around, and the cannon rang out continuously. The Tartars fought back, but they still couldn't turn the situation around.

"Damn, people are more popular than people!" Xu Wang took a mouthful of bloody thick phlegm, he had just killed five or six Tartars, and he had no strength at all, so he could only sit on the ground, panting for breath, and watching the Ming army rush forward.

Suddenly, Xu Wang saw a bloody tartar suddenly rise from the pile of dead people on the side, his face was hideous, and he opened his bow and arrows.

With a whoosh, a heavy arrow struck the chest of one of the musketeers, and the arrow pierced through the crack in the armor, missing half of the shaft.

The soldier was struck by lightning and slowly fell.

"It seems that the Ming army is not a heavenly soldier!"

The thought flashed in Xu Wang's heart, and he hurriedly ran over to rescue this Ming army.

He had just run a few steps when a gunshot rang out, and a cloud of blood splattered from the Tartar's chest, and he also fell weakly.

Xu Wang came to the front of this soldier and hurriedly picked him up, blood kept gushing out from the wound, and he saw that the only qi left had no incoming qi, and he was already dying.

"Brother, brother, dead, dead, Tartar, what is it......"

Xu Wang was at a loss for what to do, and at this time another auxiliary soldier ran over and said loudly: "Brother, hold on, you killed Niu Lu Zhangjing!" โ€

"Really, too-......" The soldier tilted his head and died with a smile.

Xu Wang looked at the auxiliary soldier in bewilderment, not knowing why.

"This brother, according to the rules of the Hou Ye, if he can kill an official above the Tartar Niu Lu Zhangjing, he will get a gold medal."

"So, what's the use of that thing?" Xu Wang asked stupidly.

"There is a gold medal, 100 acres of land after sacrifice, my son studies for free, and even hopes to enter the national prison, if he fails the imperial examination, he can also be a small official, and he will not have to worry for the rest of his life." The auxiliary soldier sighed and said, "If I get a gold medal, it will be worth a thousand cuts!" โ€

"I see!"

Xu Wang stared blankly at the battlefield in front of him, he knew the majesty of officials when he was a child, and even the villagers at the head of the village had to give three points. At that time, Xu Wang made up his mind to study and become an official, but unfortunately, not only did his family have no money for him to study, but he also fell into the grass and became a coward, and he was in a mess for so many years.

The original ambition was long gone, but at this moment, he suddenly woke up.

"If you can get the gold medal, even if Lao Tzu can't stop it, Lao Tzu's son can be an official!" Xu Wang's eyes suddenly had more shining brilliance, no wonder the Yizhou soldiers fought so hard, if it fell on me, I was afraid that it would be even more crazy!

Looking at the Ming army that was still charging, Xu Wang suddenly felt a strong jealousy......

More and more Ming troops poured up, and Tong was more and more wolf-bรจi.

"My lord, retreat! If you continue to fight, I'm afraid there will be no one left! โ€

Tong Yangxing gritted his teeth, like a gambler who had lost everything, still staring at the battlefield.

"Wait."

His eyes were fixed on the more than three hundred iron horsemen, which was the last hope.

I saw that the iron horse suddenly urged the war horse, and the flash flood broke out, and it fell violently.

"We must win!"

Tong Yangxing's heart flew out, and he couldn't wait for these cavalry to defeat the Ming army immediately.

Rumble!

A cannon rang out, and a bloody ditch was suddenly blown up in the ranks of the iron cavalry, killing and wounding everywhere.

It's not over, the cannon is getting more and more violent, the fight is getting more and more accurate, no matter how tightly the iron horse is wrapped, it is not the opponent of the iron ball, in the blink of an eye, dozens of people were stoned to death, the team was instantly chaotic, and the speed also slowed down.

At this time, the Ming army's firecrackers rang out violently, and the scattered cavalry was just a target for the firecrackers, falling to the ground in pieces.

"My lord, let's go!"

Tong Yangxing, who lost the last hole card, could only stomp his feet and flee towards Jinzhou. I just arrived at the foot of Jinzhou City, and when I looked up, suddenly a Ming banner fluttered in the wind.

Countless people with weapons of all kinds glared angrily. Tong Yang screamed and fell off his horse. (To be continued......) R1292
