The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 43 Humanity

In the era of black powder, the reason why the weapon such as Zhen Tianlei failed to become popular was because the power of black powder was limited.

After the explosion, the black powder contained in the projectile body may not be able to blow up the iron shell of Zhentianlei.

In case of two halves, it will not cause any damage to the enemy at all.

But black powder with white sugar is different!

After adding sugar, the power of black powder can be increased several times at least.

With the same amount of charge, the explosive power of the Thunderbolt using sugar gunpowder is not the same as that of the Thunderbolt using black powder.

In particular, in order to expand the power of Zhentianlei, Zhu Hongyu prevented the kind of situation that exploded in half.

He also had people carve dents on Zhen Tianlei's iron shell with a carving knife.

Once the gunpowder is ignited, the first thing to explode is the thinner parts of the bombs that are indented.

In an instant, Zhentianlei's complete iron shell will be broken into pieces, and along with the fragments inside Zhentianlei, under the kinetic energy of the gunpowder explosion, it will sweep around.

If such a shocking thunder was thrown in the dense infantry formation, it would be a unilateral massacre!

The biggest drawback of sugar gunpowder is that it cannot be preserved for a long time. Sugar is too easy to absorb water and get damp. Once the gunpowder gets damp, it will harden together.

Then it won't work!
If it is in the north, it is good to say that the sugar gunpowder can be stored for a period of time in those places with dry climate.

But in a humid and hot place like Nanyang, the sugar gunpowder has to be used up as soon as possible!
Therefore, when the army was about to go out, the weapon workshop began to boil sugar and gunpowder, and added powder to Zhentianlei's iron shell.

……

The army is ready for the expedition, and the food, grass and weapons have been prepared.

Zhu Hongyu personally boarded the high platform to boost the morale of the recovery army!

"Now, we are going to send troops!"

"In order to rescue the trapped Paoze, we must take the initiative to attack the red hair with inferior forces to encircle and suppress our army!"

"Perhaps, some people will say, we are looking for death, we are dying!"

"But Paoze is in danger, how can we stand by and watch?"

"I waited for the heaven, obeyed the order, raised the flag of righteousness, and resisted the red hair. I once swore to the gods, we will live and die together, and share wealth and honor!"

"Now my brothers and sisters are in danger, if we don't save them, how can we live up to our vows!"

"Today, Paoze is trapped, and I can't wait to rescue. When I am trapped tomorrow, who will rescue me?"

"Brothers, many of us may die this time, and many of us will fall on the battlefield!"

"However, our sacrifice was worth it! We fulfilled our oath!"

"Don't abandon, don't give up, live and die together, and share wealth!"

Zhu Hongyu's cries of not giving up and not giving up resounded through the air. Everyone admired him and shouted together.

"Don't abandon, don't give up, live and die together, and share wealth!"

"Don't abandon, don't give up, live and die together, and share wealth!"

"..."

Zhu Hongyu's move won the hearts of the army again.

Do not abandon, do not give up!
In just six words, it touched the hearts of almost everyone in the Liberation Army.

Because, no matter who it is, they don't want to be abandoned by their comrades when they are in danger!
If Zhu Hongyu abandoned Wang Youcai today, he might abandon them tomorrow.

If Zhu Hongyu doesn't give up asking Wang Youcai for help today, they won't be given up if they die in the future!
Zhu Hongyu's move is too humane!
The word human touch is often associated with indecision and the benevolence of women.

It seems that those who achieve great things should be ruthless, like Cao Cao, I would rather let the world down, than the world let me down!
But for the people at the bottom, compared to a hot hand and ruthless, the people at the bottom are regarded as the leader of the chess pieces.

Who would not want to follow such a leader full of human touch?
Of course, Zhu Hongyu is not a person who acts impulsively.

He is still very sensible.

Since he chose to send troops to save Wang Youcai, he is certain that he can win this battle!

Even if he can't win, he can guarantee that he won't be defeated in this battle!
Of course, if saving Wang Youcai was really impossible, Zhu Hongyu would not take someone to die.

……

After mobilizing the swearing-in, the recovery army set off, and the army marched in the direction of the mine.

Teams of scouts were scattered around the main force of the Liberation Army, responsible for scouting the terrain and determining the enemy's situation.

Zhu Hongyu walked among the crowd, cheering up the brothers around him from time to time. During the march, the drills of the Liberation Army did not stop.

They didn't practice formation, reloading and fighting, but practiced walking in alignment.

Amidst the neat slogans, the soldiers of the Liberation Army marched forward neatly.

Zhu Hongyu raised his head, and instantly the high-pitched and powerful battle song of the Red Turban Army was sung.

"The cloud follows the dragon, the wind follows the tiger, fame and fortune, dust and soil!"

"Looking at Shenzhou, the people are suffering, and thousands of miles of fertile land are barren!"

"Look at the world, make all the hustlers, and make up for the incompleteness of heaven!"

"Good man, don't be parents, just for the common people, not for the sake of the Lord!"

"While holding the steel knife 99, kill all Hu'er and let go. I am a masculine man, why should the Tartars be horses and cows?!"

"The golden drum beeps and the crowd roars, and the yellow dragon will not be broken!"

"..."

300 years ago, the ancestors sang war songs and drove the Mongolian Yuan, who had enslaved China for a hundred years, out of the Central Plains, chasing death and chasing north.

Now they sang the battle song again, also wanting to drive out the Tartars and restore China!
Under the leadership of Zhu Hongyu, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, he made another great achievement in the past!

Manila is the first step of their journey!
The high-pitched singing brought strong morale to the soldiers of the Liberation Army on the march. Although the lyrics were vulgar, they contained a wave of strength.

At night, the recovery army, which had marched for two days, found an open space near the water source to camp.

The soldiers of the Restoration Army set up tents and buried pots to make food. The scouts were scattered all around, on guard for emergencies that might happen at any time.

Zhu Hongyu sat cross-legged beside the campfire, but he was thinking about something in his heart.

Although the plan for this battle has already been made, some details still need to be polished.

Shi Yongxin strode to Zhu Hongyu's side and spoke.

"General, everything about camping has been arranged!"

Hu Dinggao also came to report.

"General, our army is less than [-] miles away from the mine, and at the most tomorrow we will be able to take on the Spaniards!"

"Our army's scouts have already encountered the red-haired sentry. Although the two sides have not fought each other, they have discovered each other!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded and said.

"Very well, prepare to follow the plan!"

"This battle is about the life and death of my recovery army, and I am determined not to lose!"

Everyone nodded vigorously.

……

On the other side, in the mine!
The Spaniards surrounded the mines, and Kayal himself took charge.

A temporary wooden house with a table and wine and meat on the table.

The wine is rum, and the meat is the prey that can be found in the mountains and forests. There is a fish, a rabbit, and a bird.

After simple cooking, it was served on the table.

"Really, why haven't those damned rebels arrived yet?"

"The group of field mice in the mine didn't come out and surrender?"

Kayle shrugged.

"Master Yada, don't worry!"

"If you want a big fish to take the bait, you have to put a long line!"
