open sea

Chapter 1357
At first, Ying Ming's idea was to send out the scout troops to suppress the bandits, so that he could get some war profits, earn some money, and get some food and grass for use in subsequent wars.

It turned out that the bandits and robbers in England were really too poor.

He doesn't have the aura of the Da Ming mountain bandit and robber at all, he is even more beggar than a beggar.

Who can they rob?
They can't beat the nobles when they go out. The merchants who look like fat sheep go out with guards to guard against the knights who rob and kill in the forest. Only poor farmers who are similar to them are their most loyal target customers.

In this way, how can bandits become bigger and stronger? In the end, they became a group of outlaws who occasionally went down the mountain to rob roads and often farmed on the mountain. Except for not paying taxes, their living standards were not much different from those of English farmers.

But that must be eliminated, all armed forces that are not so easy to control must be eliminated.

Yingming's understanding is simple and crude, and cannot be used by me, but must be used by the enemy.

He didn't want to be shot in the back by bandits and peasants wielding longbows when his troops advanced.

There is no shortage of troops in Puli County. Li Yuxi's company has recruited nearly [-] troops from various tribal alliances along the coast of Muye, which is enough to fight any kind of battle.

There was also a fleet of more than [-] people who had just arrived at Puli Port. Yingming tried to persuade them to go back, but he didn't persuade them to go back. In the end, they had to be sent to various farms to supervise production.

Puli County and the surrounding land belonging to Daming cannot support so many full-time professional soldiers.

The vision of the Eastern Army is higher than that of the other, and they pay special attention to the food of the soldiers. It is not very good for the soldiers to barely eat, but it is the last bottom line they can accept.

This group of officers and flag soldiers from Beiyang believed in a truth from the bottom of their hearts: As long as they can eat enough to eat, they can run rampant in the world.

Whether this truth is true or not in the face of reality and objectivity, no one in Beiyang cares, they must believe it.

Because their soldiers are not fighting for food, and their actions may make the people in the country have food, but this is by no means their original intention.

The original intention of every Beiyang Banner soldier to join the army is to let himself eat meat, so that he can participate in training and go to war.

During the battle, these well-trained soldiers have extremely high resilience and organizational skills, but once they can eat well, but because of human errors, they live a difficult life in peacetime, their morale will drop sharply.

And the most important thing is that this battle itself is not a big deal for them.

Righteousness is a function word, but it cannot be absent.

Those who hold righteousness may not be able to win. It only takes a lead shot to take a life, but those who have no righteousness have no chance to become big at all.

Because everything that people want is righteousness. It is righteousness to solve the people's upside down, to rectify the world is righteousness, and to make people fed and clothed is also righteousness.

When the Beiyang Banner Army visited England, it was justified for them.

When an army can plunder in small units, it is an elite, and if it can be patient and not plunder, it is a heavenly soldier.

The Beiyang Banner Army is the heavenly soldiers and generals in the eyes of others, but they are not... To put it bluntly, none of this is worth grabbing.

For four hundred miles, the Beiyang Banner Army ran back and forth, killing thieves and thieves, and helping the common people. They did a lot of good people and good deeds. People also knew that the small drawing paper given to them by the Banner Army would soon be used as Money is spent, and the small handicrafts given to them by the Ming army will soon be worth a lot of money.

It's ironic to say that if the English troops took out the small drawing paper and said that this thing was money, no one could do it, not even the Earl.

But a big soldier of the Eastern Banner Army who carried water for the old lady yesterday said that this thing can be used as money, and the old lady believed it.

Of course, it’s not all good things that the Ming army did here. In the subordinate farm near Yeovil, the Banner Army scouts who were responsible for surveying and mapping the local topographic map had a very good relationship with the people of the farm. He feeds the horses.

But with such a good relationship, he insisted on arguing with the Protestant priest in the small church who was born earlier, Qin Shihuang or Jesus, and even arranged the year names of each dynasty for them, and finally the old monk kicked him out. He still yelled and cursed at the door, and finally the monk remained silent for a long time, and when he knocked open the door, the monk died of anger inside.

It directly made that farm no longer welcome him and the Ming army. The people erected horses on the dirt roads in the village, fenced around the farmland, and even filled in the trenches dug for them before.

In the end, he reported the situation to the superior military officer, and the preaching officer also felt that he was at fault for this matter, so he simply ordered the farm to be separated and named it a monk's village, so as not to allow military operations to interfere with the daily life of the people.

But the feudal army was not so lucky.

There is a nobleman in Charim who is surrounded by mountains. The battle was over before he led his troops to Plymouth earlier, so he had to gather a group of defeated troops and return the same way with the troops. The expansion of the troops immediately occupied the next three dead During the siege, the knight's territory suddenly increased in power, a little inflated.

Therefore, when I saw the scouts of the Banner Army, I couldn't hold back my excitement, and I wanted to chase after the scouts as soon as I fired up.

Dragging more than 300 people to chase five cavalry, there are not many horses, and they can't catch up with life and death. They started chasing at noon that day, and the infantry and cavalry left the team in the evening.

The heavy cavalry were told to run wherever they wanted like walking dogs, and they were also turned around and killed.

After chasing and chasing, it was getting dark, and the scouts of the Ming army had disappeared. The two cavalry and Buqi met with tears in their eyes. They counted today's itinerary and the number of people.

He didn't dare to march overnight, so he had to rest on the spot in the field. At night, a scout entered the camp. No one was killed, but he fired a gun and the camp screamed.

All of a sudden, a salvo of crossbows and crossbows and flashes of knives were everywhere. The Ming army who slipped into the camp ran out in the dark and was seriously injured on the spot. The meat on the helmet went through again, and the helmet went nowhere.

Just then, he rode a horse for three miles, ran to the nearest farm to treat the wound, and then directly "borrowed" a carriage from the noble tax official's house to send it back to Puli County.

The camp of the nobles continued to be noisy until dawn the next morning, and the shouting and killing basically didn't stop. At the end, everyone screamed and screamed. No one knew whether the nobles were dead or not. Also missing.

The remaining four scouts happily 'borrowed' two carriages from the aristocratic tax officials and merchants, modified them slightly, cut off their heads until they were soft, filled the two large carts, and sent them back to Puli County I went to receive the reward.
