241. Victory! Meritorious Medal of the Anti-Japanese Army [1/2]
Pu killed the last real Japanese man in a mess, and the battle was finally over. The onlookers burst into loud cheers again. Although there were only dozens of Yuyao people, everyone tried their best and shouted happily with their throats.
The work of cleaning the battlefield continued. This time, no messy things jumped out of the pile of corpses. The cleaning work went very smoothly. After a while, all the corpses were flipped over, and those who were not dead were shot and sent to the west.
It was not until Yi Yun had confirmed that the enemy had died that he waved his hand and said, "The battle was over! The combat state was lifted, and you are now allowed to move freely for thirty minutes. After thirty minutes, gather and return to Jiashan!"
"yes!"
"Wow, it's finally time for free activities." The Yiwu soldiers' correct military appearance suddenly seemed to collapse in an instant, and everyone jumped happily: "Win, we win, hahaha."
"I killed three Japanese pirates with my own hands. Haha, after I go home, I can brag about it in front of my wife."
"You stupid bird, I have killed five!"
"You can write down today's story. After you have been discharged from the army, you can make a joke and go to the tavern to tell stories, hahaha." It turned out that when this Yiwu gun soldier had no muskets before, he did a promising job as a storyteller.
"Today's one-civilian bullet consumes a lot!" Yiwu soldier, who had been an accountant, calculated with his fingers: "A single bullet costs fifty cents per bullet, the cost of gunpowder and fuse rope required to fire a penny is 100 cents. It costs 150 cents to fire a gun. We have a total of 1,200 gunmen. One round of volleys will use 180 taels of silver. At the beginning, three rounds of volleys were fired, and then the bullet rain array shot out at least twenty rounds in a short moment. The silver we spent today was nearly 4,000 taels of silver... Oh my God! Help!"
"I only spent 4,000 taels, not much! Our prince is rich, so he doesn't feel sorry for spending this little money!" A Yiwu soldier laughed and said, "The prince's favorite thing to say is, don't save bullets, hahaha."
"When you are free time, you are talking nonsense, grab the spoils!" A Yiwu soldier who had picked up rags before shouted: "The ground is full of money."
With his roar, all the Yiwu soldiers were stunned and suddenly became overjoyed: "Yes, the ground is full of money. The real Japanese samurai sword is very valuable. Use it as a work of art to sell it, pick it up!"
A group of Yiwu soldiers ran excitedly towards the corpses of the Japanese pirates, picking them up and picking them out, and cutting off the valuable things they were all one by one. The things on the real Japanese were the most valuable. Each real Japanese would wear at least two knives, one with an authentic samurai sword, and the other with a rib. This is the custom of Fusang samurai. The long knife is used to kill people, and the short knife is used to commit suicide by cutting the belly. These two knives are exquisitely crafted works of art. When they get a prosperous place like Nanjing Oasis, they will definitely be sold for a good price.
In fact, the Dongmaru and Shirakuhari worn by the body were also valuable, but they had been punched by muskets, so the Yiwu soldiers could no longer see it.
There were several guns with muskets thrown around them, all of which were exquisitely designed seed island guns. The Yiwu soldiers snatched them and couldn't let go of them. However, they did not dare to swallow such things, but they respectfully handed them over to Yiyun so that they could allocate them to other gun soldiers brothers. You should know that there are many "gun soldiers" in Yiwu, but Yiyun's financial resources were limited, and only 1,200 people were summoned. They did not dare to summon all the extra gun soldiers to the army. This would definitely go bankrupt. There were many Yiwu people who did not solve the employment problem, so every time they got a musket, it means that one Yiwu gun soldiers could be added. They would never swallow such precious strategic resources.
Seeing the Yiwu soldiers picking up things on the battlefield, several officials from Jiangnan asked curiously: "Prince, why don't your soldiers cut off the enemy's heads? Do they don't need the heads to ask for rewards?"
"Tsk!" Yi Yun sneered: "My army does not need to record military achievements at the head."
"Then how do your army remember the merits?" The officials were very good.
"My army rewards for merit and merit. As long as the soldiers fighting according to my orders faithfully execute my orders, I will give each person a reward of twenty taels of silver." Yi Yuncai waved his hand generously and laughed: "The gun soldiers are full of bullets when they are fired. Who knows who killed who killed me, so they will all be rewarded according to the group, hahaha."
The officials were silent.
I saw Yi Yun mowed a huge silver medal from his arms, as big as a palm. It was made of fine snowflake silver, with exquisite patterns carved on it, and it also wrote in very small words: "The Anti-Japanese Military Medal Seal".
"What is this?" the officials were puzzled.
Yi Yun smiled and said, "The last time Lord Hu Zhongxian's 'First Anti-Japanese Conference Memorial Pack' gave me inspiration, I invented this kind of silver seal, prepared twenty taels of silver ingots, and then used the skills of the technical occupants to make the 'Anti-Japanese Military Medal'... Every time I win a battle, I would give each soldier who obeyed the order, which was equivalent to giving them twenty taels of silver..."
Officials: "..."
I saw Yi Yun called a gunman, and with a bullet on his finger, the military medal flew into the hands of the gunman: "This is a reward for you! Tell other brothers not to worry, everyone has a share. After returning to Jiashan, I will send it to you one by one."
"Wow! Good thing!" The gun soldier was overjoyed: "How many silver earrings can such a large silver cake be made into after melting?" It turned out that the gun soldier used to work as a jewelry maker, who specialized in making silver jewelry. When he saw silver, his first idea was to melt it to make earrings.
Yi Yun kicked over with anger: "Yeah, this thing is a military medal. I'll tell you to be an earring, and I won't kick you to death."
He kicked twice, thought of something, and said to the soldier: "There is an allusion to this military medal. I will sing a song for you and you will know... The fifteenth moon shines on my hometown and on the border, in a quiet night... The military medal is half of yours and half of mine..."
After hearing this in a daze, the soldier grinned and said, "I understand that the military medal must be knocked in half, and half will be handed over to his daughter-in-law to save. I can only use my other half to have earrings..."
Damn, Yiwu Bing is indeed a crosstalk, Yiyun Khan.
When Hu Zhongxian heard that Yi Yun didn't have a head, he was immediately happy and came over and said, "Prince, since you don't want the heads of these Japanese pirates, then the officials are planning to take them away. I plan to bring these real Japanese pirates into court and ask for credit for you. I will pile up every ten fake Japanese pirates in a pile and place them on the beach. On the one hand, I declare war on the Japanese pirates, and on the other hand, I also tell those Japanese pirates that those who violate my cute country will only have the fate of being different from their bodies and heads!"
Yi Yun frowned. He didn't like to cut people's heads. Even if these people were Japanese pirates, there would be no problem in killing each other during wars. If they had to behead their heads after death, it would be a little disgusting. But what Hu Zhongxian said makes sense. To inform the court of victory, it would be impossible to cut off the heads without a head. Although it was disgusting to cut off the heads and pile them on the beach, it was indeed an effective means to shock the Japanese pirates.
Yi Yun has watched some movies about pirates, such as the famous Pirates of the Caribbean. In these movies, hanged pirates often hang on the crossbars of the port. In fact, this is similar to what Hu Zhongxian said about putting the head on the beach. It is to use the corpses of these pirates to shock others and let them know that being pirates will lose their heads. When technology is underdeveloped and there is no movie or TV to promote the law, this method is very effective. It is not just disgusting and cruel, but also serves as the role of "Legal Online".
Yi Yun waved his hand and said, "Okay, the heads of these Japanese pirates are given to you! But don't cut them in front of me. When I leave, you can send someone to cut them, so as not to make me feel disgusted."
Hu Zhongxian was overjoyed: "The prince is so generous. He made up his mind. When you leave, I will ask the soldiers to cut off their heads."
After saying this, Hu Zhongxian began to be jealous of Yi Yun's gun soldiers again. He said a little embarrassedly: "Prince, I want to ask where did you get these gun soldiers... It's so amazing. I also want to form a gun soldiers."
Yi Yun patted his shoulder and smiled and said, "Do you know how much it costs to arm a gun soldier? A musket costs 100 taels of silver. If you want to form such a musket team of about 100,000 taels of silver, you can't handle it without more than 100,000 taels of silver. And when fighting, it costs money like flowing water, fifty cents of bullets per shot, and one hundred cents of gunpowder and fuse rope required for one hundred cents of gunpowder and fuse rope. The gun soldiers can shoot ten rounds of bullets. For example, if I fight this battle today, I have to spend 4,000 taels of silver alone..."
When Hu Zhongxian heard this, he was shocked. Although he had just "raised" a huge sum of money from civil servants in Jiangnan, the money was used to build more than 50 castles, recruit a large number of wolf soldiers, and build warships. It was not enough. If you want to recruit expensive soldiers like musket soldiers, don't even think about it.
He had no choice but to smile bitterly and said, "Forget it, I can't afford to use this kind of soldier, just play with the prince yourself."
Hey, it's good to not be able to use it. I don't want you to go to Yiwu to compete with me for the source of soldiers. I have to keep the source of soldiers in Yiwu. In fact, Yiyun also knows that Yiwu people value friendship. With Chen Dacheng watching there, not anyone can recruit soldiers in Yiwu. Yiyun also made three rules with Chen Dacheng to recruit Yiwu soldiers.
At this time, the thirty-two father-in-laws squeezed out from the crowd, and rolled and crawled to Yi Yun, saying repeatedly: "Your Majesty, I'm a talented man. When I returned to the capital, I will inform the emperor of the prince's victory as soon as possible... Tsk tsk, it's so amazing."
