The cavalry roared, the sharp sabers slashed, the spears stabbed, and the blood spurted out!
However, a small number of cavalry counterattacks cannot change the overall situation on the battlefield.
The charging Ming soldiers quickly gathered their formation, and the musketeers loaded their muskets, then pulled the triggers, firing rows of neat rows of muskets.
Amidst the crisp gunfire, the roaring Qing cavalry suffered heavy casualties!
Countless people have fallen off their horses!
Countless Qing army horses and soldiers were hit by lead bullets.
The lead bullets carried strong kinetic energy and broke large holes in the horses and armor of the Qing army.
Blood sprayed out, and the wriggling internal organs were clearly visible!
The remaining Qing cavalry roared in, but they faced the Ming army's bayonet forest.
A Qing cavalryman thrust out a spear, and with the kinetic energy brought by the charge of the horse, he pierced a Ming soldier with his armor.
Blood spilled on the battlefield!
But this Ming soldier also used his own life to slow down the momentum of the Qing cavalry.
The cavalry, which had lost its speed advantage and had no strength advantage, could only be slaughtered by the Ming soldiers.
A sharp bayonet pierced the body of the Qing army's horse and penetrated the armor of the Qing army soldier.
The Qing army made its last desperate struggle, and the ice quickly melted under the Ming army's front.
When the fighting subsided, a large number of Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army were wiped out on the battlefield!
Only a small number of Eight Banners soldiers chose to surrender!
…
Zhu Hongyu began to give instructions on the handling of prisoners of war.
It's still the old rule, the Qing army that drove the people to the battlefield for its misdeeds surrendered its troops, whether it was the Green Camp or the Eight Banners.
Trap and kill them all!
Zhu Hongyu knew that many Qing soldiers drove civilians to the battlefield because of the general's military orders and they had no choice but to do so.
But so what?
If you dare to drive people to the battlefield, you must be prepared to be killed by them all.
Although the labor camp was very short of people, Zhu Hongyu did not want to kill a large number of prisoners of war.
But there's nothing you can do, the Qing army doesn't have a long memory!
I really didn’t take Zhu Hongyu’s warning to heart!
Then there is nothing more to say, just kill him!
Kill until the Qing army is afraid and no longer dares to massacre the city or drive the people to the battlefield to be used as cannon fodder!
After Zhu Hongyu gave the order, the Ming army began to screen prisoners of war.
The screening method is also quite simple. The civilians rescued by the Ming army from the Qing army camp in Zhoushan can identify them.
In order to prevent anyone from making random identifications, Zhu Hongyu's instructions to the army were to cross-identify.
If a Qing prisoner of war was accused of killing civilians, he might have been unjustly accused.
But if three or five people identify and report it at the same time, then the matter probably didn't go away.
Don't hesitate, just kill!
Apart from dealing with prisoners of war, there are more important things.
It is a reward for the soldiers who performed meritorious service in the Battle of Zhoushan, especially those who held the Zhoushan Fortress for nearly a year and firmly defended Zhoushan for the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Hongyu is still so generous to ministers who have made meritorious deeds.
Zhao Erhu, who was in charge of the Zhoushan war, was directly promoted to the rank of major general and given the title of earl.
Zhao Erhu's class jumped up in one fell swoop and he became a member of the Ming Dynasty's nobles!
Except for the general Zhao Erhu, everyone else deserves no less rewards.
Zhu Hongyu cast out an earl, three viscounts, and seven barons in one breath.
The officers and men who have made meritorious deeds below will be promoted if they deserve promotion, and those who should be rewarded will be rewarded.
Even those big-headed soldiers have all been promoted to one level.
In addition to the rewards and pensions they deserved, Zhu Hongyu deliberately ordered that each of the soldiers who participated in the battle be rewarded thirty yuan of silver dollars.
Ordinary soldiers don’t need to say anything. Disabled and retired soldiers can be handed over directly to them!
Soldiers who died in battle should also receive pensions and rewards to their families.
The meaning is very clear. If you hang out with me, you will not only have a future, but you will also have money!
Zhu Hongyu deeply understood that if he wanted his soldiers to work hard for him and only provide ideological education, he would be acting like a hooligan.
The welfare and treatment of the military are the most important things.
It is precisely because of this that Zhu Hongyu has always been quite generous to the army.
Whoever dared to play tricks on Zhu Hongyu in terms of pensions and rewards for the army was discovered by him. No matter who he was, Zhu Hongyu really knew how to kill people.
The kind that kills the whole family!
Of course, excluding material guarantees!
Zhu Hongyu also provided spiritual encouragement.
Ordered a memorial service to be held for soldiers who died in the army, and a commendation meeting for soldiers who made military exploits.
And gave the Zhoushan garrison the honorary title, Zhoushan Victory Brigade.
Recruits who have completed basic training are selected from the new barracks to fill the shortage of soldiers in the Zhoushan Victory Brigade.
This is one of the important reasons why the troops of the Ming army were not timid when facing powerful enemies.
Because the generals of the Ming army all knew that if the army was exhausted, it would not affect their power and status.
The new recruits in the new barracks can fill their vacancies in the army at any time.
Therefore, on the battlefield, it is almost impossible for Ming armies to be afraid of fighting and betray their teammates in order to preserve their strength.
According to Zhu Hongyu's military order, no one dares to hesitate in the direction of the entire army!
…
The war in Zhoushan ended, and a mass grave and a monument appeared near Zhoushan Port.
Buried in mass graves are the corpses of Qing soldiers!
On the monument, the names of the Ming soldiers who died in this battle are engraved.
Boom! Boom!
A dull salute sounded, the navy's naval guns, the coastal defense guns in the forts, the fortress guns in the fortress, and the army's field guns... were all firing.
With the smoke filling the air, the atmosphere of Zhoushan Island is quite low!
Tread! Tread! Tread!
Neat footsteps suddenly appeared, and leather boots stepped on the ground, raising large plumes of smoke and dust.
Strict square formations appeared at the end of everyone's sight!
A large flag fluttered in the wind, and the huge clear characters were unusually eye-catching.
Thousands of people raised their legs in unison, kicked their legs in unison, and lowered their legs in unison. Thousands of people moved in unison.
The friction of clothing, the clanging of armor, and the sound of leather boots hitting the ground all came together, like thunder.
The feeling of oppression is coming!
Surrounded by the armies, soldiers walked neatly carrying clay pots containing ashes.
The clay pot is hung with a military plaque representing the identity of the soldiers who died in battle, and is covered with the Ming Dynasty's twelve-pointed sun and moon flag!
The atmosphere is solemn and solemn!
On both sides of the road, two columns of Ming Army soldiers stood.
They raised their chests and raised their heads, staring straight ahead, standing motionless in a military posture.
The muzzles of each musket pointed diagonally forward at a 45-degree angle!
The three-edged bayonets are quite eye-catching.
The sea breeze blows, carrying the moist and cold air, hitting people's faces, causing pain.
But no one made the slightest move!
The atmosphere in the venue was so serious!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The dull sound of war drums resounded throughout the port, as if to see off his robe.
Zhu Hongyu did not wear armor, but a straight military uniform, which highlighted his tall and strong figure.
The epaulettes on his shoulders and the armband on his right arm are different from those of ordinary generals.
There are no stars representing military ranks, but a lifelike golden dragon embroidered on it!
His cuffs and collar are all lightly embroidered with dragon patterns.
He wore pure white gloves on his hands, a black cloak on his back, and a sword and gun hanging on his waist.
A wave of soldiers' iron-blooded killing momentum is coming!
