Chapter 118 Successful looting
Wei Zheng nodded with affirmation and continued to affirm it to Zhou Shuyuan.
"Military advisor, you must remember that we must never underestimate the thoughts and determination of our brothers."
"I can say with certainty that after my brothers are accustomed to the high military pay and treatment of our Tiger and Leopard Army, they will return to the days when they were hungry in the past. If one day in the future, let them know that the court will take back everything they have and let them return to the hard days in the past, I can say with certainty that in order to protect their own homes, these brothers will take the initiative to oppose the court without mobilizing them."
"In addition, I have another idea. After we enter the customs and have our own territory, we must find a way to find a wife for each brother and let them have children on the territory of our Tiger and Leopard Army. At that time, they will have to fight with our Tiger and Leopard Army not only for themselves, but for their own family, for their wives and children."
After conquering six Tartars, Dorgun, who was far away in Zunhua City, had to react.
So, Wang Feng had to return to Mushroom Yu with the last batch of harvest.
At this moment, the small Mushroom Yu had been filled with various supplies and people. Not only that, thousands of new recruits who had been recruited into the team were conducting the most basic military training under the command of the recruit battalion.
Seeing the convoy that was constantly entering Muguyu and seeing the first time he attacked alone in front of him, Wang Feng, who was full of excitement, said with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Military advisor, please inform our attacking hero Battalion Commander Wang first. His great results of attacking for ten consecutive days will make the other brothers happy and open their eyes."
"Yes, General..."
"In the ten consecutive days of attacks, we captured seven Tartars and wiped out more than 600 Tartars. In addition to these results, the biggest gain was that Battalion Commander Wang sent back our Mutton Yu's personnel and supplies."
"Except for the first six battles outside the group of materials and personnel in front of me, Battalion Commander Wang rescued a total of 5,643 young and strong men and women from the hands of the Tartars. Except for 1,200 women, the rest were young and middle-aged men who could immediately join the army."
"In addition, we have captured eight hundred and sixty-five infantry soldiers who have surrendered to the Tatars from six Syborgs."
"In addition to human harvests, the harvest of materials is also far beyond our imagination."
"We seized 450,000 kilograms of grain for our Tiger and Leopard Army, which is enough for our Tiger and Leopard Army to eat for two months. In terms of silver and money, we seized a total of more than 185,600 taels of silver, 23,730 taels of gold, and 435 kilograms of silver."
"In terms of weapons, a total of 36 artillery pieces that we can use directly were seized. If other weapons are melted into fine iron, they can reach more than 11,000 kilograms."
"A total of 50 kilograms of gunpowder, which is very important to our Tiger and Leopard Army, was seized from the Tatars in total, 356 barrels of gunpowder, that is, about 18,000 kilograms."
"The last one is the capture of war horses: in the six battles, a total of 1,120 war horses were seized, and more than 1,300 crossbow horses could only be used to consign supplies..."
"It is certain that with these supplies and young and strong people, the overall strength of our Tiger and Leopard Army is at least doubled."
Except for Wei Zheng and Zhou Shuyuan, both of them are really clear about these numbers, including Wang Feng, the specific executor. Therefore, after Zhou Shuyuan finished speaking, Zhao Yun, who had heard these numbers for the first time, was already full of excitement and emotion: "General, these seizures are simply amazing. I only now know why the entire Mushroom Yu has become so crowded without realizing it. It turns out that they are all filled with these harvests."
Zhou Shuyuan said, "The harvest is indeed very big. I believe everyone knows that our Tiger and Leopard Army will pay military salaries to the soldiers from this month. I can tell you with certainty that the silver that Battalion Commander Wang robbed from the Tatars in less than ten days is enough for our Tiger and Leopard Army at least one and a half years of military salaries. Therefore, at least in the next year and a half, our Tiger and Leopard Army can expand its troops with confidence and boldness, and do not need to worry about military salaries."
"Let's talk about the captured weapons, although they cannot be used directly. However, after melting all of these weapons into fine iron, at least one thousand new muskets can be created."
"Of course, I said at the beginning that the biggest gain from this robbery is thousands of young and strong."
"Here, I will first tell you a good news. Under the general's personal voluntary service, plus the generous military salary of our Tiger and Leopard Army. So far, the number of new recruits in our Tiger and Leopard Army has exceeded 3,000. At present, these new recruits are under the management of the New Recruitment Battalion and are conducting the most basic military training."
"In addition, thousands of young and strong men have given us various craftsmen with more than two hundred people later."
"I just got good news from the weapons workshop. After more than 200 craftsmen joined the weapons workshop, the number of muskets created by the weapons workshop every day can be at least doubled."
"When it comes to the weapons workshop, I think of another good news to tell everyone."
"At the general's request, the weapons workshop specially conducted some research on explosive packs. Just the day before yesterday, the weapons workshop created the first one weighing only two kilograms, but its power was more than twice as powerful. It only required half a kilogram of gunpowder. The general gave him a new name, called the grenade."
"Because Battalion Commander Wang seized more than 10,000 kilograms of gunpowder from the Tatars in this operation, plus our original stock, gunpowder can be described in our Tiger and Leopard Army with sufficient words."
"Under this situation, in order to increase the soldiers' melee ability, the general has ordered the weapons workshop to make 10,000 grenades as soon as possible. At that time, whether it is a hot spot or a musketeer, or even a cavalry, each soldier will be equipped with two grenades to kill the enemy at close range."
After Zhou Shuyuan finished speaking, Wei Zheng, with a smile on his face, summed up loudly: "What the military advisor said is very correct. The various benefits brought to me by the plunder in front of me are definitely not as simple as it seems. The examples just given by the military advisor are only part of it. I can tell you with certainty that Battalion Commander Wang's attack was a very successful plunder."
"When our Tiger and Leopard Army truly develops and grows in the future, this kind of plunder cannot be stopped, but must continue. Of course, our target of plunder can only be the Tartars and corrupt officials. If there is still a chance in the future, I, Wei Zheng, personally led everyone into the grassland and rushed to the Tartars' home to plunder, and let the Tartars taste the taste of the destruction of their families."
