Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 11
Wanghai Fort was originally a wedge placed by the Jinzhou guards on the eastern coast to monitor Dongjiang Town.However, after the castle owner surrendered, Chu Yun's Ming army easily entered the impenetrable Fort Wanghai.

Wanghai Fort had been under Houjin's management for two or three years, and with the materials hoarded here by the original Ming army, Chu Yun did not regret launching this small-scale attack.

"My lord, we found a thousand stones of grain, 3000 taels of silver, hundreds of pieces of ironware, and a lot of salt." Chang Yi came to Chu Yun with a smile on his brow.

"I didn't expect Houjin to search so hard, load all these spoils on board! Then set fire to destroy this place."

With a wave of Chu Yun's hand, hundreds of torches were thrown onto the hut, setting the fort on fire.

Looking at the rising fire, Chu Yun seemed to see Daming's hope.

This time when he went ashore, Chu Yun mainly came to earn some civilization points, along with grabbing food to survive the cold winter, and also abducted a lot of Houjin's population.

The boat stayed on the nearby coastline, and they dared not dock until they saw Chu Yun coming back.

"The prisoners we captured this time were several times more than our soldiers, and the ships almost couldn't hold them, so we urgently dispatched several merchant ships to Guanglu Island to load them." Mrs. Yang looked at the row of gold prisoners one by one. The growth team was escorted to the ship.

"This time, a total of 190 enemies were beheaded, 570 or 210 enemies were captured, and 23 or [-] civilians intended to follow us to Guanglu Island. However, our army lost [-] soldiers." Chu Yun counted carefully, "Back to Guanglu After Kashima, we will report the battle report to the imperial court."

"My lord, how do you know so clearly?" Mrs. Yang asked in puzzlement.

Chu Yun didn't answer, but just passed the test with a smile.

These data are of course statistics from the "Industrial Revolution" system.With this system, Chu Yun can clearly know the outcome of each battle, even if someone wants to deceive Chu Yun, it is impossible.However, this system can only issue battle reports after the war is over, and cannot know the casualties of all parties in real time.

"Raise the sails and set sail!" After loading the captives and resources, more than a dozen ships sailed in the direction of Guanglu Island.

As long as they enter the sea, Hou Jin, who lacks a navy, can't chase them at all.

The news of Chu Yun's victory quickly spread like snowflakes.

"You mean that Chu Yun went ashore and beheaded more than 100 Houjin soldiers?" Mao Wenlong from Dongjiang Town couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard the news, "Isn't this kid pretending to be a murderer and lying about his military achievements?"

"Master Chief Soldier, I saw with my own eyes that they escorted the Houjin prisoners back to Guanglu Island. There were hundreds of prisoners alone. Seeing their strong bodies, they must be soldiers." Mao Wenlong's confidant said.

"When that kid was hanging out with me before, I didn't realize that he was a talent. I didn't expect...we reported to the court that Dongjiang Town tried to go ashore to counterattack when Jin Xinli's master was not stable, and killed thousands of enemies. And go back." Mao Wenlong thought for a while and said.

"understand!"

The military exploits at the border in the late Ming Dynasty generally have a lot of water, especially on Mao Wenlong’s side, because the court was unable to check the authenticity of Dongjiang Town’s military exploits because they fought on the territory of Houjin, so Dongjiang Town often expanded the Warring States period by five times and ten times to report Give it to the court so that it can be rewarded by the court.

The people in Dongjiang Town got the news, and Jinzhou defender Li Yongfang also got the news, but it couldn't be worse news for him.

"My son..." The bamboo slips in Li Yongfang's hands fell to the ground, and she burst into tears.

The bamboo slips say that Qianhugang Atai was defeated and killed, his head was beheaded by the Ming army and hung in front of Wanghai Fort.

"Who is the commander of this Ming army?" Li Yongfang gritted her teeth.

"According to reports from our spies on Guanglu Island, the Ming army generals stationed on Guanglu Island are Kong Youde and Chu Yun, and it is Chu Yun who is attacking this time."

"Chu Yun? This old man must smash your body into thousands of pieces, so as to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Chu Yun didn't know that he had already entered the eyes of the big shots of this era, he was more concerned about the small territory under his eyes.

Back at Guanglu Island, the looted materials were first stored in the warehouse and guarded by the battalion team, and then Chu Yun considered the disposal of the prisoners.

"First give these captives a three-day ideological education and let them repent of their crimes. After three days, we will select a hundred veterans with good physical fitness to expand our team, and I will make use of the rest. These captives will be handed over. Here it is, Xu Ji, the three captains." Chu Yun said.

"Obey! The subordinates must teach them to be good people!" Xu Ji replied.

"My lord, are we going to expand the army? Our No. [-] Brigade suffered the most losses in this battle and made the most achievements. I, Lao Yang, applied for priority expansion." Mrs. Yang's eyes lit up when she heard that the army was about to expand.

"Your first brigade has 200 people, much more than other brigades, and you want to give priority to expanding troops. How about I, the battalion commander of the Liao Fu battalion, do it for you?"

"Don't dare, sir, just treat me as a fart, and nothing happened..."

Mrs. Yang was in awe and admiration for Chu Yun.This battle can be regarded as helping Chu Yun establish prestige in the Fuliao camp.Originally, the Ming army was as fearful of the golden soldiers as a tiger, but now under Chu Yun's command, they can win more with less, which is beyond their imagination.Moreover, Chu Yun also provided Western firearms, which were the lifeblood of their Liao camp.

Expansion of the army Chu Yun naturally wanted to expand, and 500 troops were far from enough for Chu Yun, or too few.The current Chu Yunding can at most go ashore and hit Houjin with a sap, but he can't hit him head-on.

But if the army expands, problems will arise.The army is built with money and food, and the imperial court gives a fixed number. If you want to expand the army privately, the extra soldiers have to pay for it themselves.Among them, the military salary alone is an astronomical sum, not to mention the need to forge muskets, tens of thousands of ammunition, armor... All of them can be summed up in one word, that is money!
The failure of the imperial court in the late Ming Dynasty had a lot to do with the exhaustion of finances. At the critical moment, Emperor Chongzhen could not even pay for the army, and all the money went to the hands of the landlords and gentry.

So Chu Yun thought that he must have his own financial resources.The source of income can come from production.Must depend on the technology of production.

"Come with me." Chu Yunzhi left the Ming army and left with only a dozen or so French soldiers.Like last time, he wanted to find a place where no one was around to sneak some technology.The difference is that these Frenchmen were summoned, so it doesn't matter if you take them with you, at least you won't be afraid of being targeted by wild beasts alone in the dense forest.

In the "Industrial Revolution" system, there are really many technologies related to production, including textile technology, smelting technology, machine tool technology, flour processing technology, locomotive manufacturing technology, etc.Related to production technology are related power technologies such as steam engines and internal combustion engines, and basic sciences such as physics and chemistry.

Chu Yun never imagined that the industrial system would be such a complex system.Think about it, too, enjoying the fruits of the industrial revolution since childhood, no one will notice that this is the crystallization of countless wisdom of ten generations.

"Ignite the Jenny textile machine in textile technology!" Chu Yun couldn't wait to use the industrial revolution system!
