Chapter 0511 Dividing the spoils(1/2)
"Fourth Brother, in this battle we killed more than 40,000 enemy troops and captured more than 20,000 people. This is an unprecedented victory..."
Liu Heng said excitedly to Kou Ji.
Although Kou Ji had expected to kill many people, he was still stunned when he heard the number of people reported by Liu Heng.
He thought for a moment and asked: "How many of them were killed by you after the battle..."
"More than twenty-seven thousand..."
Liu Heng said something, and after he finished speaking, he added: "More than 17,000 of them were injured by artillery..."
"Fourth brother, that artillery is really powerful. When one cannon is fired, it will blow up the soldiers and horses of Huangtou Huihe, and they will fall on their backs. How did you come up with that thing?"
Liu Heng described to Kou Ji the scene of exploding artillery shells, while staring at Kou Ji and asking questions.
Kou Ji kicked the horse under his crotch, rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't I tell you? That was the idea of the craftsmen of Kou Mansion and has nothing to do with me."
Liu Heng snorted and continued to ask: "How did the craftsmen of the Kou Mansion come up with this?"
Kou Ji rolled his eyes again and said, "Have you ever seen a musket?"
Liu Heng nodded, patted his chest, and held a musket in his arms.
Kou Ji continued: "That thing is a larger musket."
"Then why don't you have those buckle teeth?"
"It's too big for teeth, so it can only be lit with fire."
"Does the artillery have a name?"
When Kou Ji heard this question, he was stunned for a moment and said: "Hongyi..."
"Red clothes? Red clothes cannon?"
Liu Heng asked.
Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "When you say red clothes, just say red clothes. Anyway, it was called Hongyi when it was first born, and later it was renamed Hongyi, so it's okay to call it Hongyi."
Liu Heng nodded thoughtfully and asked: "Then...where is that thing buried in the ground?"
Kou Ji muttered: "Invincible mine cannon."
Liu Heng's eyes lit up and he said: "This name is majestic."
The corner of Kou Ji's mouth twitched.
He thought the name was a bit middle-of-the-road.
However, the name of that thing was given by Akito, and he just copied it, so he didn't bother to bother with the name.
The artillery and mines that Kou Ji took out this time were all products of the Ming Dynasty.
The artillery is the red cannon that appeared in the late Ming Dynasty. Ming people like to call it the red cannon.
Landmines were also a product of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty called them invincible mine cannons.
Koji made some improvements based on the original red cannon and invincible mine cannon, and their power is much greater than that of the red cannon and invincible mine cannon.
The most improved one is the invincible mine cannon.
Kou Ji couldn't introduce the detailed craftsmanship to Liu Heng. He could only tell Liu Heng the names, usage and characteristics of the two items.
After Kou Ji explained it to Liu Heng in detail, he told Liu Heng: "Go back and compile what I said into a memorial and submit it to the officials."
Liu Heng was stunned and had something to say.
Kou Ji did not give him a chance to speak, "The artillery and mines have been taken out, so there is no way to hide it. It is better to tell the officials openly and honestly."
Liu Heng hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I will compile what you said into a book and send it to the officials."
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
thereafter.
The whole journey was silent.
When Kou Ji and his party arrived at the valley road.
Zhang Yuan and Gao Yi led the Japanese soldiers, horse thieves, and patrol horse guards to welcome them several miles away.
After Gao Yi saw Kou Ji, he shouted excitedly, "Kou officials, we have won. We have defeated 140,000 Huangtou Huihe people."
Behind Gao Yi, the soldiers who supported the Japanese army also looked at Kou Ji with excitement.
Kou Ji said with a smile: "This battle is an unprecedented feat for you to promote the prestige of the Song Dynasty. I have already written to the officials, and I believe that the imperial court's decree to reward you will be delivered soon.
Before the imperial edict is delivered, I will make the decision and Xu Er and others will have a feast."
"roar!!"
When the soldiers who praised the Japanese army heard this, they cheered.
Kou Ji smiled and ordered Liu Heng to take them down to kill sheep and cows and celebrate grandly.
After Liu Heng left with the Japanese soldiers.
Zhang Yuan led the patrolling horse guards and horse thieves to appear in front of Kou Ji.
Zhang Yuan solemnly said: "Thanks to the sharp weapons given by the Celestial Empire, Yuan Shan can lead his soldiers and join the Celestial Empire's troops to defeat the Huangtou Uighur troops."
Kou Jiduan sat on the horse and said seriously: "The leader of the Yuanshan tribe does not need to be polite. The Yuanshan tribe trusts us in the Song Dynasty in good faith and is willing to work hard for the Song Dynasty. Of course, the Song Dynasty will not hesitate to reward you."
In this battle, the Yuanshan tribe contributed a lot.
Without the help of Motoyamabe, we would not have been able to achieve such an astonishing result.
I make the decision on behalf of the officials. Before I return to the court, I will lend you the sharp weapons for your temporary use.
According to the rules on the grassland, 50% of what was captured in this battle will go to you and others."
Kou Ji waved his hand and said boldly: "Go down and distribute the seized items."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuan bowed and agreed.
After hearing what Kou Ji said, the horse thieves behind Zhang Yuan were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.
Not much gold, silver and jewels were seized in this battle, but a lot of cattle, sheep and horses were seized.
Kou Ji allocated 50% of the seized items to them in one breath, and they could get a lot of benefits.
Of course, the ones who benefited the most among them were the anonymous horse patrol soldiers under Zhang Yuan.
In this battle, although the horse thieves, civilians, and Japanese soldiers suffered some damage, the damage was almost negligible.
The ones who suffered the most damage were the patrolling horse guards who charged head-on.
They contributed the most, suffered the most casualties, and naturally wanted to take the most generous share of the spoils.
Kou Ji is not like other officials. After a great victory, he always likes to take the richest spoils first and then make a lot of high-sounding words.
Kou Ji is someone who has truly experienced the bottom, so he knows what people at the bottom like most.
If you say a hundred words, it's not as useful as handing them a copper coin.
Kou Ji entered the temporary camp at the entrance of the valley, and the list of loot captured in this battle was already delivered to him.
This battle.
More than 30,000 horses were seized.
Among them, there are more than 5,000 top-grade horses.
There are more than 20,000 medium-sized horses.
The rest are all inferior horses.
More than 10,000 cattle were seized.
Two hundred and thirty thousand sheep were seized.
The number of sheep far exceeded the number of cattle, which Kou Ji expected.
One hundred and thirty-five thousand dans of grain.
The gold and silver jewelry were discounted to 350,000 yuan.
Twenty thousand prisoners were taken.
It can be said that a lot of money was captured in this battle.
Although there was less food, gold, silver and jewelry, the number of cattle, sheep and horses was still huge.
Injured horses and slaughtered cattle and sheep were not included.
After the digital newspaper returned to the Song Dynasty, it can be said that all the civil and military officials in the Song Dynasty would be unable to sit still.
In the past, Emperor Taizong led hundreds of thousands of troops to the north to conquer Liao.
Only 50,000 war horses were captured.
If those dead or injured horses were included, it would probably exceed what Emperor Taizong captured during his Northern Expedition.
You know, Emperor Taizong's achievements were achieved by hundreds of thousands of troops.
