One hundred and seventy-fourth chapter Wuhe
At first, when Ying Ming thought about it, he scouted the troops to suppress the bandits, so he could make some profits, earn some money, and get some food and grass for subsequent wars.
As a result, I didn't expect that the bandits and robbers in England were so poor.
He did not have the momentum of the mountain king of the bandits and robbers in the Ming Dynasty, and he was even more beggar than beggars.
Who can they steal?
They couldn't beat the nobles when they went out. The merchants who seemed to be fat sheep went out to guard against the knights who robbed money in the forest and were all with their guards. Only poor peasants who were similar to them were their most loyal target customers.
How can a bandit become bigger and stronger? In the end, they became a group of extrajudicial people who occasionally went down the mountain to rob the road and often farmed on the mountain. Apart from not paying taxes, they were not much different from the living standards of English farmers.
But that also needs to be suppressed, and all armed forces that are not so easy to control must be eliminated.
Ying Ming’s understanding is simple and crude, and cannot be used by me, but can be used by the enemy.
He didn't want to wait for the troops to advance and be shot from behind by bandits and rural farmers who were carrying longbows.
Puli County is not short of troops. Li Yuxi's company recruited nearly 7,000 tribes from tribal alliances along the Muye coast, and any kind of battle was enough.
There was also a fleet carrying more than 2,000 people as soon as they arrived at Puli Port, Ying Ming wanted to persuade them to go back, but he did not persuade them to go back. In the end, they had to send them to various farms to supervise production.
Puli County and surrounding lands under the Ming Dynasty could not support so many full-time professional soldiers.
The Eastern Army had higher visions than the other, and attached great importance to the soldiers' food. It was not easy to eat well, but eating enough was already the last bottom line they could accept.
These officers from Beiyang and the flag army believed in the same truth from the bottom of their hearts: as long as the Celestial Chronicles can dominate the world as long as they can eat a full meal.
Is this truth valid in the face of objective reality? No one in Beiyang cares, they must believe it.
Because their soldiers were not for food, their actions may make the people who cannot eat in the country have food, but this is by no means their original intention.
The original intention of every Beiyang Banner Army to join the army was to make themselves eat meat, participate in training and go to war.
During the battle period, these well-trained soldiers have extremely high resilience and organizational ability, but once they can eat well, but because of human mistakes, their morale will drop greatly.
The most important thing is that this battle itself is not a big deal for them.
Great meaning is a function word, but it cannot be left out.
Those who occupy the righteous may not win. Only a lead pill will be taken away, but those who do not have the righteous will have no chance to become bigger.
Because everything that people want is righteousness. Resolving the upside down of the people is righteousness, correcting the world is righteousness, and letting people eat and wear warmly is righteousness.
When the Beiyang Banner Army came to England, it was a great thing for them.
When an army can plunder with small teams, it is elite, and being able to be patient and not plunder with soldiers is heavenly soldiers and generals.
The Beiyang Banner Army is the heavenly soldiers and generals in the eyes of others, but they are not... to be unacceptable, and there is nothing worth snatching about them.
Around four hundred miles, the Beiyang Banner Army ran back and forth, wiped out the thieves, and helped the people, and did a lot of good things. People also knew that the small drawing paper given to them by the Banner Army would be used as money, and the small handicrafts given to them by the Ming army would soon be worth a lot of money.
It is ironic to say that if the English troops took out small drawing paper and said that this thing was money, no one could do it, even if it was the earl, no one would believe it.
But a big soldier from the Dongyang Banner Army who had fed water for the old lady yesterday said that this thing could be spent as money, and the old lady believed it.
Of course, it was not the Ming army that did all good things here. In the farm near Yoville, the flag army scouts who were responsible for exploration and mapping local topographic maps had a very good relationship with the people of the farm. They were so good that when they sat in the church and painted the pictures, the people who helped him feed his horses.
But with such a good relationship, he insisted on arguing with the Protestant priest in the small church about which Qin Shihuang and Jesus were born early, and even arranged the dynasties of each dynasty. In the end, the angry monk drove him out, and he still shouted and scolded at the door. In the end, the monk didn't say anything for a long time. When he knocked the door open, the monk was angry to death inside.
The farm no longer welcomed him or the Ming army. The people set up horse-rejected horses on the dirt roads in the village, tied fences on the periphery of the farmland, and even the trenches that they had dug for them were filled with the previous trenches.
Finally, he reported the situation to the superior officer, and the propagandist also felt that it was his fault, so he simply ordered the farm to be separated and named the monk village, so that military operations would not interfere with the daily lives of the people.
But the feudal army was not so lucky.
Charlem, surrounded by mountains, had a nobleman. He had led his troops to Plymouth before the battle ended. He had to gather a group of defeated troops and returned with his troops. With the expansion of troops, he immediately occupied the territory of the three knights who died in the besieged city. His power suddenly increased and he expanded a little.
Therefore, when he saw the flag army scout, he couldn't help but feel excited. He even lit up his troops and wanted to chase the scout and never speak out.
He dragged more than 300 people to chase five cavalrymen. He was not as many as the other family, and he couldn't catch up with them. He started chasing at noon that day, and in the evening, the infantry and cavalry escaped from the team. When the infantry rested, three were killed by two scouts.
The heavy cavalry were asked to run wherever they were walking their dogs, and they were also turned around and beaten to death.
As the chase was dark, the Ming army scouts disappeared. The infantry and cavalry gathered in tears, counted today's itinerary and number of people, chased nearly forty miles in circles, and the troops were less than fifty people.
He didn't dare to march overnight, so he had to rest in the wild. At night, a scout was touched into the camp. No one was killed, but he just fired a gun and roared.
For a moment, the crossbows fired, and the sword lights rose everywhere. The Ming army who slipped into the camp ran out in the dark and was seriously injured on the spot. The breastplate was smashed into the abdomen by a hammer. A crossbow arrow on his arm penetrated the iron arm, leather arm pads, thin cotton coats and flesh on his arms passed through again. He didn't know where the helmet went.
Then he rode on the horse for three miles, ran to the nearby farm to treat the wound, and then directly "borrowed" a carriage from the noble tax official and sent it back to Puli County.
The aristocrats' camp was riot until dawn the next morning, and the shouts of killing were basically gone. Finally, they roared and shouted, and no one knew whether the aristocrats died or not. Anyway, more than a hundred corpses were left on the spot, and the remaining troops were gone.
