open sea

Chapter 1315 Rescue
When Chen Mu received the personnel and materials from the imperial court, the supply ship from the Dongyang Military Government to aid Puli County had just arrived.

With the arrival of the Changsheng Ship and the Muye Ship, Ying Ming was no longer the highest military officer in England of the Ming Army.

The commanders of the two Qianli Fleets, one named Wu Zhenbang and the other named Tian Yingyuan, were both Zhengqian households of the Eastern military government. Their positions in the military government were much higher than those of his hundred households. Guan Sanlan.

However, Yingming is still the highest military officer in Puli County, because with these two generals flying across the sea, there is also an official document of appointment from the Dongyang Military Mansion, appointing him as the acting general of Puzhou.

As for where is Puzhou and what is its jurisdiction?The official document did not say.

Even the biggest task that Chen Mu entrusted to Ying Ming was to name and place names in England.

In fact, the landing of the two fleets of the Ming army had no major impact on the common people of Puli except for the two Beihai commanders' headquarters and the supply of Li Yuxi with blinding military supplies from the Eastern military government.

There were already enough Ming troops in Puli County. Counting Li Yuxi's Muye Regiment's military training, the Ming troops in the city originally had about the same number as the common people. Now adding 2000 troops would not show much, at most it would give people peace of mind.

When the war started, Yingming's hundred Beiyang cavalry, together with Muye's third battalion, killed 3000 besiegers in one afternoon outside the city. Now there are more troops and supplies, and even the infantry armor of Muye's old battalion has begun to fight. The city learns to use the bird gun on the spot, no matter what the people think in their hearts, they are all stable.

What if you are not stable?The Changsheng Fleet unloaded from the ship to the port, not to mention the military resources of their headquarters. Chen Murang alone gave Li Yuxi's armed forces [-] catties of lead bars, [-] catties of matchlock bird guns, and [-] catties of gunpowder.

"And medals."

Wu Zhenbang, the general officer of Beihai, sat in the Puli county office. He recalled that when he entered the county office, he saw the attic that seemed to be destroyed by artillery. The imperial court rewarded them with a third-class silver medal, and other soldiers under their command waited for the battle report to be sent back, and rewarded the troops who participated in the battle according to their military achievements."

After finishing speaking, Wu Zhenbang asked: "Why isn't the magistrate of Puli County in the Yamen? He is also a member of the imperial court. The commander-in-chief has no objection to him being the magistrate of Puli County, so I would like to give you a few instructions."

"The magistrate of Puli County...is injured, and is temporarily recuperating in the wounded camp."

Ying Ming squinted his eyes and lowered his head to pray, praying that the commander-in-chief would never ask how the county magistrate was injured, and never visit Cao Changqing on a whim, otherwise he would see Cao Changqing lying on the bed with his butt up The injury was caused by myself, and it is probably the biggest joke in Wanli's 11th year.

Fortunately, in addition to the self-purification function, human beings also have the matching brain power.

In this situation, as long as the mind is normal, it would never have occurred to the magistrate to blow himself up. He had just fought a war, and the magistrate of the county has the responsibility of guarding the land and the people.

Wu Zhenbang took it for granted that the county magistrate was wounded in a bloody battle with the enemy, so he said: "The county magistrate is injured? It seems that he can't be a director for the time being, so let me tell you first. You know the situation in Puzhou best, and you know the current situation. What do you think?"

This is Ying Ming's job, and recently he has been thinking about it a lot, so he has a plan in mind, and said: "My humble job thinks that this is not the first place to start a full-scale war. The local people believe in Fan religion, and there are ten people who share the new God with the Western Yi. Two or three, six out of ten believe in English Protestantism, and only a few hundred believe in dragon and tiger."

"In the previous war, it was not difficult to go out of the city to fight in the field, but if there is no force in the city to suppress the people, there will be riots, so I restrain most of my troops. If this is the case in every city and every place, if the soldiers come to the whole of England and enter London, it will not be [-] people. No, it’s better to split the land and divide the land to implement self-government.”

Wu Zhenbang has a hard time agreeing with this: "According to what the commander-in-chief said, England is in a rising period. In the past, there was no internal war for a long time, and the outside world competed with the West, so the people's customs are aggressive. When we wait for this day, the royal court will plan One day of attack will cost a lot of self-government.”

They can't maintain the state of war all day long. They are not Chen Jiujing, who is backed by Spain, and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty who trade in the Ming Dynasty intermittently transported a large amount of luggage, and retreated ten thousand steps to talk about the affairs of France. Farming the vast fields, even if the state of war is maintained, as long as they can win You can feed war with war.

England can't do it. They are backed by the poorer Kingdom of Alan, and the local area is not rich. It is a luxury to support war with war.

"Although it is in a rising period, the people are not rich and noble. The rich and noble are only a few merchant groups and aristocratic wealthy households who raise sheep widely. Therefore, the low-level officials plan to start from all over the world. There is plenty of supplies and money, and the weather is hot, so it is advisable to wait for work at leisure, to fortify the walls and clear the fields to the east, to build deep ditches and fortifications, and not to fight hastily."

"It is advisable to seek the opportunity to fight with the main force of the enemy, and to destroy them in one battle, so as to shake their desire to invade the west."

"The second is Dublin. Now that the plague has receded, we will attack Dublin with a fleet in conjunction with the King of Alan to the west, cut off the enemies in the front and back, and open up the waterway so that Dublin can be our army's retreat. The required supplies can also be replenished in Alan. The North wins over the Welsh, who are British and barbarian vassals, and they have been fighting for hundreds of years, trying to fight for the two to not help each other."

"When Yingyi is weak, he will bite back."

"The third is the sea. Its people are few and poor, and the treasury pays more attention to commercial routes. The domestic pillar industry is sheep-raising and woolen fabrics, which are exported to other countries. It may be possible for warships to block their commercial routes. It only takes one or two years. It is bound to fall, and the people will pay for themselves."

"The humble official found out that there is a commercial route named Moscow, and the value of the goods is 10 taels of silver a year. We can wait for the opportunity to seize it for profit."

"Fourth, internally, abolish the power of the aristocrats, designate the government and establish counties, support the gentry among the common people, grant land to the land, and make the merchants let Puli County prosper first, change its food and clothing, and change its traditions. We are too strong, and the humble officials think that it is much greater than military advantages."

To put it bluntly, Ming Dynasty does have military advantages, but they are not as great as the results of the battle. In fact, the advantages of the results of the battle are not military advantages, but they are richer.

But the basic necessities of life are different. If you walk around the whole city, you will find many shops, selling bread, ironware, fruit, and grain, but there are no restaurants.

There is a tavern, but it is different from Daming's tavern. In fact, Daming's tavern is still eating. Can you drink without eating two dishes?

This is not true, drink as long as you drink, drink raw, because there are no dishes, wooden plates have only appeared for 100 years, and you still expect to eat vegetables?Of course, the premise of this sentence is that dark dishes such as sprinkling some fruit on top of toast are not considered dishes.

So in the afternoon, the apprentice of Taoist Master Cao Changqing took to the streets to pull banners, saying that the Taoist Lord Longhu sent people to save the stomachs of common people in Puli, and opened a roast goose restaurant in the city that has been passed down for nine generations from Ming, Guangdong, and Qingyuan. It is said that Chen Mu eats it well.

Although the cook is actually a native of Southern Zhili, who cares?
