The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 236 Conquering Humen! (Ask for a monthly ticket, recommended ticket)
With a puff, blood sprayed from the neck.

Huang Zhongyuan's body fell back and fell heavily to the ground.

The blood flowed horizontally, and the body gradually lost its temperature and became icy cold.

There was a sudden commotion in the Qing army formation!
Seeing this scene, some green battalion soldiers of the Qing army simply dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender.

But Huang Zhongyuan's personal soldiers went crazy one by one, counterattacking the formation of the recovery army!

Both sides continue to strangle!

Relying on their armor and superior numbers, the Restoration Army wiped out all Huang Zhongyuan's soldiers who wanted to resist.

The battlefield is full of corpses!

The flag of Ming Dynasty was raised again over the Humen Fort.

……

Zhu Hongyu received the news that Humen Fort changed hands!
He exhaled heavily, holding the battle report in his hand, a trace of heartache clearly flashed across his face.

In order to break through the Humen Fort, the Liberation Army suffered less than 200 casualties before and after!

The casualties are not bad!

Among them, more than [-] were killed in battle, more than [-] were disabled, and the remaining wounded soldiers were all seriously wounded who could not reach the disabled.

But he also had to enter the wounded barracks, so he couldn't continue to fight.

The casualties are not bad!

You know, for the Northern Expedition, the Guangfu Army only mobilized a total of more than [-] troops.

Sure enough, there is still insufficient firepower!

If the artillery of the Liberation Army is powerful enough, there is no need for marine troops to attack the beach at all, and the artillery alone can solve the battle.

In this way, there will not be such a large number of casualties when attacking fortified positions in the future!

Zhu, a late-stage patient with insufficient firepower phobia, put down the battle report in his hand and figured out ways to increase the firepower of the Liberation Army.

It is still necessary to vigorously develop flower bombs and reduce the cost of flower bombs!
Now the blooming ammunition of the Liberation Army is no problem in terms of power or safety!

It is no problem to say that technology has led the world for 100 years.

The only downside is that it's too expensive!

The flowering ammunition used in a five-jin field gun costs five silver dollars and costs three silver dollars.

There are too many, Zhu Hongyu can't afford it!
If you really want to cover bombardment, why can't you hit [-] to [-] in a battle?
Even if it is calculated based on the explosive ammunition used by the cheapest five-jin field cannon, it is tens of thousands of silver dollars!

This is still considered conservative!
The easiest way to reduce the cost of explosive bombs is to replace labor with machinery.

In the final analysis, it is still a question of steam engines and machine tools!

Zhu Hongyu finally made a conclusion. Sure enough, science and technology are the primary productive forces!
My ancestors sincerely do not deceive me!
Craftsmen in Foshan, I'm sorry!
Zhu Hongyu spoke to Zheng Jing who was beside him.

"Send an order to the person in charge of the logistics department, and let the logistics department arrange the supply of logistics materials!"

"Try to ensure the nutritional intake of wounded soldiers!"

"Meat, fresh fruits and vegetables are given priority to the wounded barracks!"

Zheng Jing bowed to accept the order, but couldn't help being a little confused.

His Highness Jian Guo's work made him a little confused.

In his perception, when there were wounded soldiers in the army before, it was at most a handful of herbs.

Some armies even make up for wounded soldiers directly!
Because in the eyes of many generals, wounded soldiers are worthless.

Once injured on the battlefield, whether you can survive or not depends on fate!

Not to mention preferential treatment, because food in the army is usually robbed, and wounded soldiers may not even be able to eat the usual food.

I don't know how many wounded soldiers died of starvation due to their injuries.

Most of the armies since ancient times have been like this!

But this His Highness Jian Guo really does things differently from others!
Let the soldiers eat enough, and eat meat is fine. After all, when they go to the battlefield, the soldiers are going to work hard, so what if they are not allowed to eat well.

But His Royal Highness Jian Guo actually gave priority to the army to take care of those wounded soldiers who didn't know if they would survive, and even if they survived, they didn't know if they could continue to go to the battlefield.

What an anecdote!

Zhu Hongyu noticed the confusion on Zheng Jing's face, but he would not explain anything to Zheng Jing.

Just speak.

"You can go to the wounded barracks to see!"

As for whether Zheng Jing can understand something, whether he can understand Zhu Hongyu's deep meaning, it depends on his understanding.

Zhu Hongyu promised to keep Zheng Jing by his side, and he really meant to cultivate him.

After all, he will be the next Yanping County King!

However, if Zheng Jing was too muddy to support the wall, Zhu Hongyu would not bother with him.

At worst, in the future, the imperial court will raise a county king for nothing!

Besides, to a certain extent, the next Yanping County King is a waste, which may be more in the interests of the Ming court.

Zheng Jing bowed and said.

"I understand!"

Zhu Hongyu waved his hand.

"Go down and do something!"

……

Wounded Barracks!
Most of the seriously wounded were still in a coma after surgery, and it was not known whether they would be able to wake up.

What can be done, the military doctors of the Liberation Army have done it!
Most of the seriously wounded are still being raised in separate wards, under special care.

But for the lightly wounded, the wounded barracks are not so particular.

Although the basic health regulations are still strictly enforced, due to the tense conditions, many lightly injured patients are crowded in a ward with more than a dozen people.

The vacated room should be reserved for the seriously wounded!

Wei Wu leaned against the head of the bed, kept counting his fingers, and smirked.

"Hey, hey hey!"

There was a thick layer of gauze wrapped around his chest, and the bright red blood was very blinking.

There were bursts of throbbing pain from the wound from time to time, but Wei Wu's mood was quite good.

The knife in his chest was left by a soldier of Huang Zhongyuan when he was fighting with him.

The incision was so deep that the ribs and internal organs could almost be seen.

It's just that he was lucky, the knife didn't hurt the vitals, nor cut the blood vessels.

It looks scary, but it's all flesh and blood!

But even so, his knife was not in vain, the head of Huang Zhongyuan's personal soldier was cut off by his own hands.

Wei Wu couldn't help showing off to his comrades in the next bed.

"Hey, my knife was not in vain!"

"This one knife can exchange ten acres of land for military exploits. In addition, I beheaded seven tartars back and forth. Add up, I can get at least eighty acres of good land in this battle!"

"Haha, eighty acres of land, plus my fifty acres of Anjia land, damn it, my family can be regarded as a small landlord, and this life is worth throwing on the battlefield!"

The Liberation Army rewarded military merits quite generously, and the prices were clearly marked.

Decapitate the first level of the green camp, enjoy ten acres of land, or 50 silver dollars!
Behead the first level of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and enjoy 100 acres of land, or [-] silver dollars!

Behead the first level of the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and enjoy 150 acres of land, or [-] silver dollars!

Behead the first level of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and enjoy 250 acres of land, or [-] silver dollars!

The compensation for the wounded is also very generous, ranging from [-] mu for minor injuries, [-] to [-] mu for the disabled, and [-] mu for the dead in battle.

Most soldiers want land but not money for military rewards and casualties!

In their view, the money will run out sooner or later.

But Tian can be passed on to future generations as the foundation of a family.

It's no wonder they'll want that!

But Zhu Hongyu lacks everything now, that is, land.

On the central plain of Luzon, there are many good fields.

As long as it can be reclaimed, it is a fertile field with three crops a year!

Isn't that what labor camps are for?
