The attic of the Puli County Government Office exploded.

Ying Ming, who had used food during the explosion, was lying on the bed on the second floor to take a nap when a shocking explosion suddenly exploded from his head. Ying Commander in his sleep was so scared that he broke through the window and flew out with the standard posture of the Beiyang infantry avoiding shells. He fell heavily on the grass like a cannonball.

Fortunately, Yingming didn't plan to sleep too much, and he had to supervise the training of the camp soldiers in the afternoon. After it rained, the house was a little cold, so he didn't take off his cotton armor, so he didn't break his arms and legs.

Even so, he was covered in mud and his head was bleeding, looking extremely embarrassed.

After being helped up by the servant who rushed over to hear the news, the commander didn't understand what was going on for a while - I was sleeping well in bed, why did I go outside when I opened my eyes?

Looking back, the stained glass windows on the third floor attic were all shattered. An old man was covered in smoke and fire. He was dizzy and fell from the window before he could even open his mouth.

There was a chaotic situation in the yamen, some people shouted about the water, and some people ran around to call the doctor. Two teams of Muye soldiers who came to the street outside the yamen heard the news and raised guns, and led the Ailan cavalry to support them.

Ying Ming, who woke up, instinctively wanted to curse. Looking at the old Taoist in a messy look, the harsh words in his throat were in no way possible... He felt that his appearance was miserable enough, but he didn't expect that the old Taoist priest looked much worse than his.

The Taoist hat flew to somewhere, but it seemed that it fell from the upstairs and broke its arm and twisted its feet, especially the Taoist robe on its back looked to be burned, and even its butt was burned to black. It was moved to the stretcher by the servants and hummed in pain, and they were muttering something in their mouths.

"Now I know, who told you to play grenades upstairs? Isn't it crazy?"

Ying Ming got closer and still couldn't get angry. He always thought that the old Taoist priest was thinking about alchemy upstairs. Although it was a bit strange, he didn't care. Alchemy was just alchemy. It was amazing that it would be harmless if he didn't refine gold.

Who knows that he is working on a grenade upstairs, how could gold be blown out of the grenade? Then the richest man in the world should be Marshal Chen!

Ying Ming, who had no idea how to vent his anger, suddenly stopped thinking of this disdainful smile on his face... Isn't the richest man in the world not Marshal Chen?

Thinking of this, the old Taoist's alchemy direction may be correct.

The commander originally wanted to get closer and blame the old Taoist for saying a few words, but when he got closer, he heard the old Taoist humming and repeatedly muttering something on the stretcher, so he raised his ears to listen.

"Xiaoxiao, drunk, Yinxiao, fire and explosion, oh, butt hurt...Xiaoxiao, drunk, Yinxiao, there is a big fire and explosion..."

After tossing and turning, he just said a few words, but he couldn't understand them. Ying Ming was very upset and said, "What's this shocking? Let me tell you that the old Taoist priest, the most shocking thing should be to shock me now - you should hurry up and put him on the carriage and send him to the military medical camp. Don't die. Xiao Si, take two people to the second floor to take down all my things."

"It's going to be burned out later."

The old Taoist priest also said that his butt hurts. Doesn’t the butt that we should commander have hurt anymore? He jumped out of the broken window on the second floor in his dream. The facts prove that superb combat skills are sometimes not that good.

The entire Puli County was alarmed by the Taoist priest's actions. Fortunately, they were still in war, especially after the city army outside the city had shot a rocket cannon and hit the city with a rocket cannon. When the people heard any sound, they would automatically carry out military control.

The baojia soldiers who blocked the neighbors were not completely removed, but they only reduced their personnel after the battle. They had enough emergency plans to deal with the situation. As soon as the explosion sounded, although Mu Ye soldiers on duty on the street corner didn't know what happened, their first reaction was to enter a state of combat and restrict the people from staying in the house.

Of course, it is also harmful to being too nervous. People are in a panic, thinking that the British royal army is coming again, and the people's hearts, which have become calm, are restless again.

As a result, people found that except for the smoke from the attic, the yamen and the attic were still doing whatever they should do, and even the salt, grain, and the boxes for money transported from outside the city were not stopped. It was so disappointing.

Salt and grain were the adopted son of Li Yuxi's caravan, Joseph Wah, who was talking about ransom with the captive English nobles. No matter which country, the deaths in the war were mostly children of ordinary people. The nobles had better protections that would allow them to steal a life even if they were pursued.

Even if the Ming army did not have the concept of captives, they would not kill all those who surrendered with their weapons. Most of the plate-armored soldiers who were injured and fainted during the battle would be disarmed and imprisoned.

Except for the unlucky Earl Charles, who was measured by Ying Ming using salt to measure his value and was so full that he wanted to show off his wealth, normal nobles all passed the news to their castle after Josephard discussed the ransom, and prepared a sum of money to buy life and was released.

The ransom is not only money, but basically as long as it is produced by their manor and subordinate farms, the Puliming Army wants it, and even living things like cattle, sheep, horses and other living things are no exception.

Of course, the price of survival is not limited to paying real money and silver. I don’t know what method Joseph Wat, the Spanish, used. In short, every English nobleman released by the Ming army would swear that under what conditions, as long as the kingdom summoned them to fight against the Ming army, he would refuse.

If they really can't refuse, they will follow their examples of their ancestors who were unwilling to serve overseas in the past, bring a bow and an arrow, shoot this arrow on the battlefield and return to their hometown.

However, the battle ended on the sea failed to capture many nobles. After the battle, except for the two ships with broken masts surrendered, the other crew members took advantage of the darkness to drive the ship to the east bank of the Prim River and abandoned the ship to escape from land. After these sailors came ashore, they looked no different from the people as long as they did not take weapons, and it was difficult to catch them. Therefore, a large number of sailors took this opportunity to escape.

What's more, to be honest, the Ming army was not keen on capturing prisoners. The Muye soldiers recruited from the ten tribes of Iroquo and Huron were originally Yang Zhaolong to prepare for the European pirates attacking the coast. They had not received any training in capturing and capturing. The purpose of all the training was to kill all the enemies.

Therefore, the work is done neatly and will never be cut off by a second knife if you can kill with one knife.

If it weren't for too many enemies surrendering to the land war, Puli County wouldn't have to accommodate so many prisoners. There were less than a thousand prisoners, and the Muye soldiers regarded those enemies who were poisoned by the medicine crossbow and were killed as the result of not surrendering and executing them.

Otherwise there will be more prisoners.

Ordinary soldiers and prisoners were not that valuable to the Ming army. After being disarmed, they worked outside the city for half a month, built several camps, moved some goods, and reclaimed some wasteland. Later, they felt that they were wasting food, so Ying Ming discussed with the generals to release all the prisoners.
