The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 49 Respect

The Liberation Army began to clean up the battlefield!
The corpses, weapons, and property scattered on the battlefield were counted one by one.

The remains of one's own soldiers were properly disposed of, and those with missing arms and legs had to be gathered up and placed next to the corpses.

The Spaniard's corpses were piled up randomly, as if they had been thrown into garbage, and no one took a second look.

Zhu Hongyu went up in person to sort out the remains of the soldiers who died in battle one by one.

Not long after, his hands and body were covered with blood.

Liu Liu, the captain of the medical team, said beside Zhu Hongyu.

"General, this is really dirty, how can you do this yourself, let's do it!!"

Zhu Hongyu waved his hand, shook his head solemnly and said.

"Not dirty, not dirty at all!"

"I want to personally send the brothers for the last time!"

The people around were all moved when they heard the words.

As the saying goes, a good man does not serve as a soldier, and a good iron does not twist nails.

Since the Song Dynasty, literati have been in power, saying that everything is inferior, but reading is high, and saying that only the roll call in Donghua Tower is a good man.

It makes soldiers who use weapons to defend their home and country become a lowly occupation.

In order to maintain their own rule, they emphasized literature over military affairs, and exalted the status of literati.

Since then, the literati began to stand tall, and the status of soldiers plummeted.

This will be the case for thousands of years to come, and it has become a matter of course to emphasize literature over martial arts!

Even the Manchu Dynasty, a foreign dynasty, was the same, but the Manchu Dynasty had a large number of bannermen leading the army.

It is not so obvious that there is a banner man who is superior to all Han people regardless of civil and military skills!
After all, even if you are a Han Chinese, you are still just a slave!
These so-called literati are contemptible and disgraceful!
Defenders of the country are devalued by them as worthless.

Moreover, when the country is facing war and alien invasion, they are the ones who kneel the fastest.

For example, in Donglin in the late Ming Dynasty, they called themselves gentlemen of Donglin.

However, in the face of the tide of regime change, although there are many heroic sacrifices among them, they sacrificed their lives to serve the country.

Such as Zhu Dadian, Shi Kefa's generation!

But more are servile servants kneeling to welcome the new dynasty, such as Hou Fangyu, Qian Qianyi and the like!
What's more shameless is that they knelt down twice in a row, the first kneeling for Li Chuang and the second kneeling for Man Qing!

The bones are softer than noodles!
Moreover, after they knelt down, they would also say that those who know current affairs are heroes to decorate themselves.

The low status of soldiers in society has already become the consensus of everyone by this time, including the soldiers themselves, who also regard themselves as worthless stinky mounds.

But now, they felt the long-lost respect!

It has been hundreds of years, has there ever been a superior who respects and values ​​them, Qiuba? !
Zhu Hongyu, the general of the Restoration Army, disregarded the dirt, and personally sorted out the remains of the soldiers who died in battle.

How can they not be moved by this? !
With a plop, Shi Yongxin knelt down in front of Zhu Hongyu on one knee and said loudly.

"Willing to die for the great general!"

Seeing this, everyone knelt down on one knee beside Zhu Hongyu and said loudly.

"We are willing to die for the great general, to be smashed to pieces, and to die!"

Zhu Hongyu said.

"Don't say anything about death!"

"Don't die!"

"I will take you back to the Central Plains, rebuild the Ming Dynasty, and enjoy the glory and wealth with you!"

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard the words!

Rivers of blood flowed, the smell of gunpowder smoke was tangy, and the atmosphere on the battlefield where limbs and arms were everywhere was not gloomy or dignified at all.

The morale of the Liberation Army who had just experienced a hard battle was boiling!

……

The battlefield was cleaned up, and the Liberation Army seized a large amount of supplies in this battle.

About two thousand catties of gunpowder, four muskets 530, six hundred spears, one thousand catties of lead bullets, five thousand catties of food, etc.!
There are also gold and silver treasures recovered from the Spanish soldiers, which add up to almost 5000 Spanish silver dollars.

Of course, what is more important is the five cannons that Kayal brought into the mountain!
The five short-barreled [-]-jin copper light cannons are not enough for siege and battleship bombardment.

But if it is used in field battles, it can be regarded as a big killer!
The short barrel increases the rate of fire of the artillery, and the weight is much lighter, although it greatly limits the power of the artillery.

But also makes it, just right for field use!

If you want to talk about siege, or battleship bombardment, you still have to look at the long-barreled ship-mounted cannon.

The long-barreled ship-mounted cannon is the prototype of the so-called red cannon imitated by Daming!
Under the same caliber, the weight of this short-barreled field gun is half or even less than that of the ship-borne long-barreled cannon.

A short-barreled light gun of [-] jin, including the gun carriage, can only exceed [-] jin, and it can be carried by two or three people.

This is why Kayal was able to transport these light artillery into the mountains!

Zhu Hongyu planned to transport these five cannons back to the valley, and when the fortress in the valley was repaired, before they cast the cannons themselves, these five cannons would be the city defense guns of the valley fortress.

Zhu Hongyu ordered.

"Repair in place for a day, let the wounded relax, and then make a few stretchers for the wounded, and return tomorrow!"

"promise!"

Everyone was ordered to do it.

……

In the mine, the bodies of the Liberation Army soldiers who died in battle were neatly arranged on a pile of firewood.

All eyes converged on Zhu Hongyu who was standing in front of everyone.

Holding a torch, Zhu Hongyu stood beside the firewood with a solemn face.

"Brothers, go all the way!"

Everyone behind him shouted in unison.

"Brothers, go all the way!"

"Brothers, go all the way!"

"..."

"Fire the gun!"

According to the arrangement, Li Guangyuan gave the order to a row of recovery army soldiers holding muskets beside him.

The soldiers of the Restoration Army received the order and pointed their guns at the sky.

"put!"

Boom!bang bang!bang bang!
Suddenly, a burst of neat gunshots sounded.

Smoke and flames spewed from the muzzle, but no lead bullets flew out.

Because they were emptying the gun, and when reloading it was only loaded with gunpowder, not with lead bullets.

They are using this method to see off their robes.

After the gunshots rang out, Zhu Hongyu personally lit the dry wood with a torch.

The dry firewood was poured with kerosene, and the torch was ignited with a single touch.

The blazing flames devoured the remains of the soldiers who died in battle in the blink of an eye!

"The cloud follows the dragon, the wind follows the tiger, and fame and wealth lead to dust and earth."

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

"Look at the world, all the captives are exhausted, and everyone makes up for the incomplete way of heaven."

"Good man, don't leave your parents, just for the common people and not for the Lord."

"While holding the steel knife 99, kill Hu'er and stop."

"..."

Amidst the loud and clear military songs, the flames burned more and more vigorously, as if they were going to burn everything up.

Everyone's faces are solemn!

The scene that seemed too pretentious to outsiders was solemn and heavy in the eyes of the soldiers of the Restoration.

Since ancient times, when soldiers died in battle, they would dig a hole and bury them randomly.

Where has it been valued so much before!
The lord will arrange the remains of the dead in person, and the whole army will send off Pao Ze who died in battle together!

Who wouldn't want to be treated like this after their own death!
