Chapter 901: Preparing to Persuade Surrender (2)
As for Rodrinyi, of course, he hoped that the persuasion would succeed.
Because that way, he doesn't have to take his men to fight hard, does he?
Of course, he also knew that this was just his own idea, and he didn't know whether this persuasion would succeed or not.
Therefore, what he can do now is to let his subordinates use this time as much as possible to rest and recover their strength. If they can't get along, they'll have to attack the enemy again.
However, he talked with the herald for a while, and knew why at such a time, His Highness would give the order to stop the attack and persuade the enemy to surrender.
The herald did not hide anything, and told Roderny about all of them, so that Roderni had a general understanding.
After all, it's not a secret.
Even if Roderni was told, it didn't matter.
When Rodelni knew why, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart.
He knew very well what kind of turmoil could arise when an army was left without a commander.
Therefore, he can judge that it is precisely because the enemy army has no command system that it will be so chaotic and disorganized when fighting against him.
At the same time, because of the secret incitement, there are already signs of wanting to surrender among the enemy soldiers, so there is a high probability that persuasion to surrender will succeed when there is no longer a chain of command.
Once the persuasion is successful, then Rodelnico will be rich.
His Royal Highness, the crown prince of the Song Empire, had promised that after conquering this eastern castle, the wealth in this castle would be concentrated, and he would own one-tenth of it.
At the same time, after the persuasion is successful, then the battle can be regarded as over.
Once it's over, then he'll have to pay his men.
With a salary. These subordinates of their own will never be in a state of flux again, will they?
Yes, because these Portuguese followed Rodelni to the East, but did not make any money. So they had already begun to have some vague dissatisfaction with Viscount Rodelny in their hearts.
If this discontent continues to ferment, his fate for Roderny will eventually become very tragic.
But as long as these people can make money, then this trouble will be solved, right?
However, from the beginning of the battle to the present, the mercenaries under the command of Roderni have also suffered a lot of casualties.
Eventually, take advantage of the period when attacks are temporarily stopped. After a little counting, he found that the casualties under his command were actually more than 300 to 200 people.
Although only a dozen people died in the end, more than 200 were seriously injured or slightly injured.
It's easy to say that those who are slightly injured are ...... Roderni thought they couldn't have survived.
The reason why he has such an idea is mainly because of the relationship between the medical methods and techniques of this era and the poor quality of water. Therefore, in this era, whether it is in the East or the West, the seriously injured are basically equivalent to one foot has stepped into hell.
Of course, the slightly injured ones are relatively stronger. But it's not as strong as anywhere.
Often, people with minor injuries also lose their lives due to tetanus or some unnoticed infection.
There are more than 200 people, and I don't know how many people in Ludao will survive.
Rodernny's originally happy mood suddenly became depressed.
But how to say. These mercenaries and he were both Portuguese, and it was impossible for them not to care at all about their compatriot Rodrine.
"My lord, you said that the salaries of our injured brothers, will this Highness pay them down?"
One of Rodelny's men. Asked in a whisper.
It's not for nothing that this subordinate asks this question.
Because when I was in Europe, many of those nobles who hired mercenaries. When they pay their salaries, they only pay them to the living, and they don't pay to those who are dead.
Therefore, on the battlefields of Europe, those nobles or lords who hired mercenaries usually hoped that the mercenaries would all die in a battle.
That way, he doesn't have to pay so much salary.
Of course, it's better if they've defeated the enemy and then all die.
But for the mercenaries who worked hard, they didn't think so.
The leaders of those mercenary organizations think that even if their subordinates die in battle, the salary that belongs to their subordinates should be paid, after all, people are also selling your life, aren't they?
Therefore, both employers and employers will often be entangled in this issue and argue fiercely.
But often in the end, the matter still doesn't work.
Now Roderni and the others are starting to worry about this problem as well.
For mercenaries like them, their lives are worthless, but they are also lives.
Since it's a hard worker, there must be some benefits.
Roderni pondered for a moment, and then said to this subordinate: "I don't know much about this question, but I think that the Song Empire is so rich, it shouldn't be as stingy as those aristocratic lords in Europe." For them, this salary is nothing at all, and they should find out. I'll go and inquire, and you tell the injured brothers not to think nonsense. ”
"Your Excellency, please hand over the wounded to us, and we will carry them to the hospital outside the city to treat them in time."
The soldiers of the Imperial Guards in the back organized a stretcher team and came to Rodelny's side.
For the fact that the Empire was willing to treat the wounded, Roddellni was still very grateful. Because for these mercenaries who take money to sell their lives, the most troublesome problem is the wounded.
On the battlefields of Europe, for mercenaries like them, their employers are not responsible for their treatment. Therefore, many times, the injured mercenaries can only resign themselves to fate.
It's their luck to survive, and it's their bad luck to die.
This time, the Song Empire was willing to treat them, although I don't know what the means of treatment are, but it is better than not caring at all. For this alone, not only Rodelni himself, but even these Portuguese hired by Zhao Hongyu are very grateful.
If those who are treated don't survive, they have nothing to complain about.
It's just that they don't know that in the medical team of the Song Empire, the medicines used by these people are all products of the era. Treating their wounds with cold weapons is unique in this era.
Therefore, the percentage of these Portuguese mercenaries who survived after the war was very high.
Only a small number of wounded people lost their lives because they were too injured to be treated.
Therefore, Roderni and his mercenaries, after learning about the powerful and effective healing methods of the Song Empire, made them feel that they should always follow the army of the Song Empire to make money.
After all, you can still get good care and treatment after an injury, and this treatment is still very effective. So why don't they continue to follow such a force to serve them?
Just be careful not to allow yourself to be severely traumatized, then wouldn't it?
For example, in this battle, some of the wounded who were hit by a rolling log and broke a bone, which in their opinion, was no longer able to be treated, and they also came back to life under the treatment of the Song Empire.
Therefore, it can be proved that the treatment methods of the Song Empire were still very clever.
Therefore, after the war, Roderni and them followed the Song Empire all the way to the dark.
This is also something that Zhao Hongyu did not expect.
Actually, for Zhao Hongyu, he treated these mercenaries. In fact, it was also for his own plan, because these mercenaries are alive, so they will definitely work for him more in the future, right?
You know, the war here in Kyushu is just the beginning.
When the war on the Kyushu side is over, he will set off for the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, Zhao Hongyu is very eager to go to Liaodong to see and see the power of the 'I Daqing' that some people in later generations boast of in this era.
Zhao Hongyu wanted to know whether the troops under his command were more powerful, or those wild boar skins were more powerful.
At the same time, in addition to 'I am the Qing Dynasty', such as some effects around the Ming Dynasty, such as Siam, South Vietnam, and Southeast Asian countries, he has to see it.
Even if conditions permit, the Mughal kingdom, that is, the Indian side, he is willing to take a walk around and have a look.
Hum!
Now that I have come to this era, and now I have created such a big foundation.
Always show up with your army and show off your warrior muscles.
Well, in other words, Zhao Hongyu decided to lead his empire and began to officially appear on the stage of history to start its performance.
You must know that the prestige of the Song Empire is only spread in Europe.
This is still not enough for Zhao Hongyu.
Now that he has a global perspective, and according to his discussions with Wang Shan and Zhang Tie, as well as Song Hu and Professor Liu, they will carry out a global strategy in the future.
Then, at such a time, it is also very necessary to show your muscles appropriately and let some countries in this era take a look.
Otherwise, people will know which onion and which garlic you are in the Song Empire.
As the wounded were carried down the spiral road, the mercenaries began to rest in the safe zone, on the orders of Viscount Roderny.
The Imperial Guards in the rear arranged for people to bring them boiling water and some food to replenish their strength. In order to prepare when persuasion fails, let these cannon fodder continue to shine.
At the same time, two genetic messengers had been selected, and they arrived in the defensive circle of the defenders of the fourth layer of Shiliang City with the five-star red flag representing the Song Empire. (To be continued......)
