Chapter 121: The Frightened Bird
I saw that the soldiers in the army under my command had basically mastered the use of the new musket.
Mao Wenlong no longer insisted on how skilled he could master.
After all, compared with the three-month recruit training of the Heavenly Tiger Army, it is still difficult to have an advantage in a short period of time and a half to really reach the level of the soldiers of the Heavenly Tiger Army.
But.
For Mao Wenlong, this is enough.
Soldiers are fast.
Not far from Golden State City.
Outside South Guam.
With little effort, most of the defenders of South Guam were Han soldiers from the Han military camp formed by the Later Jin, and Mao Wenlong's army was like a dark cloud pressing towards it.
The Han soldiers in charge of the defense were already frightened.
And Mao Wenlong is even more ruthless, he doesn't even want to waste a soldier, and he doesn't want to use a single shot.
It's just that the horn made of iron sheets shouted outside the small town in South Guam: "Han people don't kill Han people!" If the brothers of the Han military camp can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, as long as you dare to tie up all the slaves in the city and kill them or open the city gates, my General Mao will promise to spare your lives! Those who have merit can also return to the Ming Dynasty! ”
"Han people don't kill Han people! I hope you wait to assess the situation and don't be impulsive! ”
After a long time, I saw that there was still no movement in the city...
Mao Wenlong was also a little impatient, and waved his hand to signal the shouting soldiers to retreat.
But at this moment.
At the gate of the small city of South Guam in the distance, the wood-clad iron gate was suddenly opened.
Two neatly arranged columns of Houjin Han soldiers raised their hands high, and they did not carry weapons in their hands, so they lined up and walked out of the city gate!
Mao Wenlong was overjoyed when he saw this, and said to the soldier who was in charge of shouting: "Hahaha! You've done a great job! ”
"The gates of South Guam have been opened! Let's go into town! ”
The army was in unison, but the cavalry at the head roared past and rushed into the city first.
As for the so-called ambush?
Mao Wenlong disagreed, after all, Nanguam is a small city with less than 1,000 people, and it is a bit of a capital to say that it is a city, but it can be regarded as a guard station.
Such an ambush in this kind of place?
Mao Wenlong was able to smooth him out..
And when Mao Wenlong walked to the city gate, the Han soldiers stationed on Nanguam Island, who were about to be taken away by the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army, couldn't help but shout at Mao Wenlong.
"What the general just said counts! This Jiannu in South Guam has been killed by us! ”
Mao Wenlong turned his head when he heard the sound, and those Han soldiers in the Houjin Han military camp were all bloody, all of them were in tattered clothes, and they did not look like so-called soldiers at all.
sighed slightly, and said: "You take good care of these Han soldiers, and screen out the big traitors among them, and the others... Let's find a way to send it back to our homeland."
As soon as Mao Wenlong's words came out, the Han soldiers not far away couldn't help but kneel on the ground one by one.
Howling and crying.
"Thank you. General Xie! ”
"Mother's on top! My son can finally go back to Daming! ”
Mao Wenlong whispered to the guards behind him, "Let's go.."
Since it took almost no effort to take South Guam, all the current Dongjiang troops were almost not tired, but Mao Wenlong insisted that all soldiers stay in place and rest.
Duoduo is not an idle person, and Mao Wenlong did not dare to relax at all.
After all, if you are not careful, it will be a catastrophe.
Not to mention whether he can be worthy of his painstaking management over the years when he was entrenched in Phi Dao, even Zhu Youzhen may be ashamed of the emperor's grace.
Since Zhu Youzhen re-admitted Phi Dao.
A large number of supplies often depart from Tianjin Port and are sent to Phi Dao by all kinds of ships.
You know, the sea is not all smooth sailing.
It is also a crisis that there is always the word "drifting" in sea transport, although most of the time there are officials who are corrupting it.
However, it must be said that when transporting goods on a large scale, sea routes are still risky.
But Zhu Youzhen never cared about such a small loss.
It's just a good thing that the imperial court has, of course... At the beginning, Zhu Youzhen himself was not enough to use the new firearms, but other cold materials such as quilts, cotton jackets, and a large amount of food.
Zhu Youzhen was not reluctant in the slightest.
Instead, with a wave of his hand, he gave it directly to Mao Wenlong, and more importantly, he recognized that Phi Dao was part of the Ming Dynasty.
This point is very exciting for many officers and soldiers of Phi Dao, since the officials of the Ming Dynasty came to Phi Dao, they will often let transport ships bring a large number of newspapers and periodicals such as "Daming Monthly" and "Jingshi Daily" from the territory of Daming.
The rapid development of the Ming Dynasty is seen in the eyes of every officer and soldier on Phi Dao.
The most important thing is that Zhu Youzhen issued a pension plan related to the Ming soldiers during this period, the "Regulations on the Pension Subsidy for the Casualties of the Ming Soldiers".
Even if the most ordinary soldier sacrificed his life for the country on the battlefield, then Zhu Youzhen set up a heavy pension for him, and this pension was paid by the Daming Royal Bank.
Then it will be compensated by the Daming Royal Tax Bureau on a regular basis, and it is not only a one-time compensation, including subsequent funeral expenses, and if there are children, then the child support expenses are also calculated.
The immediate family members can not only enjoy the lifelong exemption of agricultural tax, but also the reduction of commercial tax by a certain percentage.
There is a premise for the introduction of various policies.
That is, you have to be a soldier of the Ming Dynasty.
Now, Zhu Youzhen has recognized the status of Phi Dao as a Ming military town, so all the Dongjiang troops have become serious Ming soldiers overnight.
It's just that although such regulations are very good, in the final analysis, it is Zhu Youzhen who wants to better promote the restructuring of the Ministry of War.
After all, in fact, the degree of development in various places is different, and in some places the soldiers in the prefectures and counties do not have enough food and clothing, but there are also those rich states and counties.
The local soldiers were often able to have excellent preferential treatment, not to mention the daily constant drinking and meat, and they could be regarded as not worrying about hunger and cold.
After this round of restructuring, all of them were grouped together.
All of them were dispatched by the imperial court.
Naturally, there can be no more favoritism, so at this time, such regulations are out.
It is also to appease the dissatisfaction in the hearts of many soldiers.
On the other hand, Dodor.
The news of the loss of South Guam soon reached Golden State, after all, the two were so close that it could be said that the movements of the soldiers defending the city on the opposite side could be almost observed with the naked eye.
As soon as the news came out.
Dodor was like a frightened bird.
He ordered that all the soldiers stationed on the city wall should be mainly Mongols and Han Chinese, and the white flag led by himself was to retreat by all means.
In order to avoid being directly bombarded by the Ming army, the city wall was crushed under the rubble.
