Chapter 132 Rescue
When Chen Mu received supplies from the court, the Dongyang Military Mansion had just arrived.
With the ever-winning ship and the Makino ship approaching the port, Ying Ming is no longer the highest military commander of the Ming army in England.
The commanders of the two thousand-level fleets were Wu Zhenbang and the other was Tian Yingyuan. They were both the chief thousand households of the Dongyang Military Palace. Their positions were much higher than those of his hundred households, not to mention that they were divided into generals of Beihai, deputy generals, and supervisors of Sanlan.
However, Ying Ming is still the highest military commander of Puli County. Because he was flying across the sea with these two generals, the appointment document of the Dongyang Military Office was appointed as the acting general of Puzhou.
As for where Puzhou is and what is its jurisdiction? The official document did not say it.
Even Chen Mu's biggest mission to Ying Ming was to name a place name in England.
In fact, the landing of the Ming army had no greater impact on the people of Puli except for the two Beihai general officers and the supply of military funds provided by Li Yuxi from the Eastern Military Office that could blind people.
There were enough Ming troops in Puli County. Including Li Yuxi's Muye Regiment's training army, the Ming troops in the city were originally similar to the people, but now there is no sign of anything that can be seen with two thousand troops. At most, it will make people feel at ease.
When the war started, Ying Ming's 100 Beiyang cavalry, combined with the Third Muye Battalion, killed 3,000 siege troops outside the city in one afternoon. Now there are more troops and more supplies. Even the infantry armor of the Old Muye Battalion began to learn to use bird guns on the spot in the city. No matter what the people think, they are all at peace.
So what can be done if you are unstable? The Changsheng Fleet unloads goods from the ship to the port, and does not mention the military resources of their troops. Chen Murang alone handed over to Li Yuxi's armed forces, and there were 800 kilograms of lead strips, 3,000 kilograms of fuse ropes, and 30,000 kilograms of gunpowder.
"And the medal."
Wu Zhenbang, the general of Beihai, sat upright in the Puli County Government. When he entered the county government, he saw the attic that seemed to be destroyed by artillery. He looked at Ying Ming and said earnestly: "This battle is hard, and the enemy's firepower seems to be strong. The general rewarded the court and awarded a third-class silver medal. Another soldiers under his command are waiting for the report to be sent back. He will be rewarded by the army participating in the battle based on his military merits."
After saying that, Wu Zhenbang asked, "Why is the magistrate of Puli not in the yamen? He is also a member of the court. The general has no objection to his self-appointed magistrate of Puli, so he brought me a few instructions."
"Minister of Puli...is injured, temporarily in the injury and illness cultivation."
Ying Ming squeezed his eyes and lowered his head to pray, praying that the general officer should not ask the magistrate why he was injured, and should not visit Cao Changqing on whim, otherwise he would see Cao Changqing lying on the bed with his butt sticking out, especially knowing that the Daoist priest's injuries were caused by himself, which was probably the biggest joke in the eleventh year of Wanli.
Fortunately, in addition to self-purification, humans also have matching brain replenishment capabilities.
As long as you have a normal mind, you would not have thought that the magistrate would hurt himself. He had just fought a war and had the responsibility of defending the people. If the city was about to be destroyed, what's the use of the magistrate?
Wu Zhenbang took it for granted that County Magistrate Cao was injured in a bloody battle with the enemy, so he said: "The magistrate is injured? Then it seems that he cannot be in charge of the minister for the time being, so I will tell you first. You know the situation in Puzhou best. What do you think of the current situation?"
This is Ying Ming's job, and recently he has been thinking about this, so he is confident and said, "I think that it should not be a precedent for a full-scale war here. Local people mostly believe in the foreign religions. Two or three of them are the same as the Western Barbarians, six or seven of them believe in the Protestantism in England, and only hundreds of them believe in dragons and tigers."
"In the previous battle, it is not difficult to go out of the city and field battles, but if there is no force in the city, the people will be in chaos. Therefore, most of my troops will be restrained. If this is the case in every city and every place, if the troops are invaded into London, there will be 30,000 people. It is better to split the land and implement autonomy."
Wu Zhenbang was hard to agree with this: "According to the Grand Marshal, England is in an upward period. There has been no civil wars in the past for a long time. The outside world competes with Western France. Therefore, the people are brave. On this day, our royal court planned to attack for one day, and the cracking autonomy is consumed a lot."
We can't maintain a state of war all day long. They were not Chen Jiujing's back to Spain, but Ming merchants who traded in Mingxi intermittently transported a large number of supplies, and took 10,000 steps back and said that France was ploughing vast fertile fields. Even if they kept maintaining a state of war, as long as they could win, they could use war to support the war.
England is not good. They are leaning against the poorer Kingdom of Ayran, and the local area is not rich. It is a luxury to support the war by fighting.
"Although it is in an upward period, the people are not rich. The wealthy are only a few merchant groups and rich nobles who raise sheep. Therefore, the humble position is planned to start from the inside and outside of the sea and land. First, now our army is well-equipped and well-fed, and the weather is hot. It is better to wait for labor, to go east, to clear the walls and clear the fields, to the deep ditch and solidify the base, and not to fight quickly." Mobile phone:: :
"It is advisable to seek opportunities to fight with the enemy's main force, and to destroy one battle and shake their desire to invade the west."
"The second is Dublin. Now the plague has subsided. A fleet joins King Ailan to attack Dublin in the west, cut off the enemy from both sides, and opens up the waterway to make Dublin retreat. The required baggage troops can also be replenished nearby in Ailan and win over the Welsh people northward. It was a British vassal who fought for hundreds of years, so they won the two of them not to help each other."
"When the British are weak, they will bite back."
"Three is at sea, and its citizens are small and poor, and the treasury input is particularly important in commercial roads. The domestic pillar industry is to raise sheep and weave wool velvet, which can be sold to other countries. It may be possible to open a road to block its commercial roads. It only takes one or two years, and its country will be declining and the people will pay for it."
"I found out that there was a business road named Moscow, and the annual wealth was worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. I could wait for an opportunity to seize it to make a profit."
"Fourth, it is to abolish the power of the nobles, set up prefectures and counties, support gentry among the people, grant land to land, and make merchants make Puli County prosperous first, and make its food and clothing become traditional. We are too strong in this regard. I think it is much better than military advantages."
To put it bluntly, the Ming Dynasty did have military advantages, but it was not as big as the battle results. In fact, what they found in the end was not military advantages, but that they were richer.
But food, clothing, housing and transportation are different. When you visit the whole city, you will find that there are many shops, including bread, ironware, fruit, and grain, but there are only no restaurants.
There are taverns, but they are different from those in the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the taverns in the Ming Dynasty still eat. How can you avoid eating two dishes when you drink?
This is not, drink alcohol and drink raw, because there is no vegetables, and the wooden plate has just appeared for a hundred years, and I still expect to eat vegetables? Of course, the premise of this sentence is that the dark dish of sprinkling some fruit on top when toast is not considered a dish.
So that afternoon, the eldest disciple of the Taoist priest Cao Changqing of Longhu went out to the street to put on a banner, saying that the Taoist lord of Longhu sent people to save the stomachs of Puli people. A roast goose restaurant in the city that was passed down from the nine generations of Qingyuan, Guangdong, was opened in the city. It was said that Chen Mu would eat it and say it was OK.
