The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 41
These are just part of the military pay!

For an army, military pay alone is not enough.

More troops are needed for daily maintenance.

Including ordnance, military uniforms, clothing, medical treatment, food, training and other expenses.

In terms of ordnance, whether it is combat or training, there will be wear and tear, and it needs to be replaced when it wears to a certain extent.

I dare not say that there are too many military uniforms. One set is always needed for each season throughout the year. No matter how bad it is, there must be two guaranteed replacements a year.

The same is true for quilts!

The importance of medical treatment to an army is self-evident, especially in wartime, a qualified medical system can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the army.

The soldiers knew that even if they were injured, they would receive the best medical treatment, and of course they dared to risk their lives on the battlefield.

And more importantly, the combat effectiveness that a veteran returning from injury can definitely far exceed that of a recruit without any combat experience.

In terms of food, the standard set by Zhu Hongyu is to be full!

As long as you can eat it, you can eat whatever you want!

And the food expenses are not deducted from the military salary, the military salary is the military salary, and the food is subsidized by the military.

The above expenses add up to an astronomical figure.

However, Zhu Hongyu didn't care much about money.

For him now, if gold and silver could not be exchanged for the combat effectiveness of the army, and for all kinds of combat supplies needed to maintain the army, then they were nothing more than a pile of nicer stones.

After all, the last person who dared to owe the army a large amount of money had already put himself on the coal mountain!
If Zhu Hongyu was Chongzhen, even if he didn't provide disaster relief, he would have to spend money to stabilize the army first!
……

Mine!

Wang Youcai led dozens of recovery troops to stop the pursuers all the way, fought and retreated, and finally retreated to the mine.

Prepare to stick around where they know!

The mines are indeed difficult to defend, but if they retreat into the mines, the Spaniards dare not chase them.

The situation in the mine is unknown, how many Spaniards dare to go down?

But Wang Youcai and the others dared, and said that there was not much difference between going into the mine and going back to their own home.

The soldiers of the Restoration Army were all miners. Before the uprising, they often wandered around in the mines.

Even if there is no lighting, they can find what is where by groping in the dark.

But certainly not the Spaniards!
Behind the recovery army led by Wang Youcai, there was a dense mass of darkness, with two or three hundred Spanish soldiers chasing them.

From time to time, the Spanish pursuers would stop and fire a round of volleys, as if urging the Liberation Army in front to flee quickly!
These two or three hundred Spanish soldiers are real pure blood Spanish soldiers, not mixed blood soldiers.

Leading the team was Captain Kayal, Colonel Robin's adjutant.

Captain Kayal is an extremely handsome Spanish-French mixed race, with blond hair and eyes like two crystal sapphires.

The facial features are profound, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the lips are thin.

He is very good friends with many noble ladies in Manila, and has a very close relationship.

"My dear Yada, those lowly Chinese are so cruel, they even cut off your fingers!"

"Don't worry, I will kill those rebels to avenge you!"

Kayal said to Yada who was following him.

"It would be even better if you could praise me a few words in front of Colonel Robin and let me go up one more rank."

Yada nodded vigorously.

"I must cut off the head of that damned Chinese with my own hands. As long as you can help me avenge, I will definitely praise your bravery in front of my uncle, Colonel Robin!"

Yada looked at the soldiers of the Liberation Army fleeing in embarrassment in front of him, and said with a worried expression on his face.

"Captain Kayal, do you think those Chinese rebels will be fooled? I don't think it's that easy!"

Yada and his father Capello were released by Shi Yongxin after the Scotch family paid the ransom.

The Liberation Army kept its promise and did not tear up the ticket after receiving the money.

However, although the Restoration Army kept its promise, Yada and his father couldn't bear it!
It's okay to be extorted for some money, and the Scotch family can squeeze it back from the Chinese in Jiannei.

However, his son Yada had three fingers chopped off by Zhu Hongyu, and Capello said he couldn't swallow it.

This revenge must be avenged!
Therefore, as soon as he was released, Capello contacted his brother-in-law, Colonel Robin, the commander of the Manila garrison.

Then, Colonel Robin sent his confidant, Captain Cayal, with five or six hundred Spanish soldiers, into the forest to encircle and suppress the Restoration Army.

Later, he also ordered to recruit a similar number of indigenous servants, transporting food, grass and military equipment, following behind the army, and went into the mountains to encircle and suppress the Daming Restoration Army.

As soon as they entered the mountain, they found the family members of the Liberation Army migrating!
Yada wanted to attack the family members of the Liberation Army immediately, but was blocked by Kayal.

One is because of Zhu Hongyu's threat that if they dare to attack Chinese women, children, old and weak, he will slaughter the Spaniards outside Manila in retaliation.

The second is because Kayal knew that even if he killed all the family members of the Liberation Army, it would be useless.

As long as he can't annihilate the soldiers of the Restoration Army, his encirclement and suppression will not be considered a success.

Then, he came up with such a plan to encircle and fight for aid.

First send a team of people to pursue them pretendingly, to attract the attention of the Liberation Army, then let the family members go, and surround the team of people who blocked them.

Then hide the follow-up troops, wait for the reinforcements from the Restoration Army to arrive, and finally encircle and fight for reinforcements, and wipe out the Chinese rebels known as the Restoration Army in World War I.

And the reason why he chose Wang Youcai's group of people to be surrounded instead of two or three thousand family members of the Guangfu Army.

To put it bluntly, I still fear Zhu Hongyu's murderous threat!

As long as the soldiers of the Restoration Army cannot be destroyed, the Spaniards will not dare to do anything to the Chinese women, children, old and weak.

If both sides let go of each other and slaughtered each other's civilians, no one can stand this matter!
Besides, in Kayal's view, as long as he can annihilate the main soldiers of the Liberation Army, shouldn't those old and weak women and children be left at his disposal?
Listening to Yada's suspicion, Kayal shrugged and said.

"My dear Master Yada, it doesn't matter if the Chinese rebel doesn't fall for it!"

"It's a big deal, let's annihilate this small group of rebels first, and then slowly encircle and suppress the main force of the rebels!"

"Aren't you still worried that five or six hundred Spanish guys won't be able to wipe out a single Chinese rebel?"

After Yada heard this, she nodded thoughtfully.

Two or three hundred Spanish troops lined up in pursuit, and the Ming Restoration Army fled in front of them in a panic, and gradually fled into the mine.

In a place that cannot be seen behind, more Spanish troops and natives are following closely.

……

Inside the mine, Wang Youcai led people back into the mine.

It was pitch black all around, and only the torches could bring them a little light.

Wang Youcai leaned against the cold stone wall, panting heavily.

"Damn it, it's really fucking unlucky to be bitten by the red hair!"

"Quick, count the number of people and see how many casualties there are!"
