Chapter forty-one
These are just part of the military pay!
For an army, it is not enough to have military pay alone.
More military maintenance needs.
Including costs in ordnance, military uniforms, bedding, medical care, food, training, etc.
In terms of ordnance, whether it is combat or training, there will be wear and tear. When it is worn to a certain extent, it needs to be replaced.
I dare not say that there are too many military uniforms. Every season is always needed. No matter how bad or bad it is, there must be two guaranteed replacements a year.
The same is true for bedding!
The importance of medical care to an army is self-evident, especially in wartime. A qualified medical system can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the army.
The soldiers knew that even if they were injured, they would receive the best treatment. Of course, they dared to fight to the death on the battlefield.
And more importantly, the combat effectiveness of a veteran who returns to the team after healing from injury is definitely far greater than that of a new recruit with no combat experience.
In terms of food, Zhu Hongyu set the standard to be full!
As long as you can eat it, you can eat it casually!
Moreover, the food expenses are not deducted from the military pay, which is military pay, and the food subsidy is the military subsidy.
The above expenses are definitely an astronomical figure.
However, Zhu Hongyu doesn't care much about money.
For him now, if gold and silver cannot be replaced by the combat effectiveness of the army or with various combat preparation materials needed to maintain the army, it will be just a pile of beautiful stones.
After all, the last person who dared to owe the military a large amount of money has already hanged himself on the coal mountain!
If Zhu Hongyu was Chongzhen, even if he did not provide disaster relief, he would have to spend money to stabilize the army first!
...
Mine!
Wang Youcai led dozens of liberation troops to block the pursuers, fought and retreated, and finally retreated to the mine.
Be prepared to stay in a place they are familiar with to wait for help!
The mines are indeed not easy to guard, but if they retreat into the mine, the Spaniards dare not chase them.
The situation in the mine is unknown. How many Spanish people dare to go down?
But Wang Youcai and the others dared, and said that there was not much difference between entering the mine and returning to their own home.
The soldiers of the Restoration Army were all miners and had been wandering around the mines before the rebellion.
Even if there is no lighting, they will find where they are in the dark.
But the Spanish definitely can't do it!
Behind the Restoration Army led by Wang Youcai was a black crowd, with 200 or 300 Spanish soldiers chasing them.
From time to time, the Spanish pursuers would stop and set off a volley, as if urging the Restoration Army in front to escape quickly!
These two or three hundred Spanish soldiers are real pure-blooded Spanish Army, not mixed-blooded soldiers.
Leading the team was Captain Kayar, Colonel Robin's adjutant.
Captain Kayar is a very handsome Spanish and French mixed race, with golden hair and eyes like two crystal sapphires.
Deep facial features, high nose bridge, and thin lips.
He is very close friends with many noble ladies in Manila City and has a very close relationship.
"My dear Yada, those lowly Chinese are so cruel. They actually cut off your fingers!"
"Don't worry, I will kill all the rebels to avenge you!"
Kayar said to Yada who was following him.
"It would be even better if you could praise me in front of Colonel Robin and let my rank rise again."
Yada nodded vigorously.
"I must cut off the damn Chinese man's head with my own hands. As long as you can avenge me, I will definitely praise your bravery in front of my uncle, Colonel Robin!"
Yada looked at the Resurrection Army soldiers who were running away in a panic in front of him, and said with a look of worry.
"Captain Kayar, do you think those Chinese rebels will be fooled? I don't think it's that easy!"
Yada and his father Capello were released by Shi Yongxin after the Skochi family paid the ransom.
The Restoration Army kept its promise and did not tear up the tickets after collecting the money.
However, although the Restoration Army kept its promise, Yada and his father couldn't swallow this!
It's nothing to be blackmailed. The Skogg family can squeeze back from the Chinese in the stream.
However, his son Yada was cut off three fingers by Zhu Hongyu, and Capello said he couldn't swallow this.
This revenge is revenged!
So, as soon as he was released, Capello contacted his brother-in-law, Colonel Robin, the commander of the Manila garrison.
Then, Colonel Robin sent his confidant Captain Kayar, and brought five or six hundred Spanish soldiers into the mountains to prepare to encircle and suppress the Restoration Army.
Later, he ordered the recruitment of almost a large number of indigenous servants, transporting food, grass and weapons, and following the army, and entering the mountains to encircle and suppress the Ming Dynasty's Restoration Army.
As soon as they entered the mountain, they discovered the migrating family of the Restoration Army!
Yada wanted to attack the family of the Restoration Army immediately, but was stopped by Kayar.
First, because of Zhu Hongyu's threat, if they dare to attack the Chinese women, children, elderly and weak, he would massacre the Spaniards outside Manila City to retaliate.
Secondly, it was because Kayar knew that even if he killed all the members of the Restoration Army, it would be useless.
As long as the soldiers of the Liberation Army cannot be wiped out, his encirclement and suppression will not be considered successful.
Then, he came up with such a plan to surround the points and attack support.
First, a team of men were sent to pursue the troops in a false way to attract the attention of the Restoration Army, and then let go of their families and surrounded the team of men who blocked them.
Then hide the subsequent troops, wait for the reinforcements of the Restoration Army to arrive, and finally surround the site to attack the reinforcements, and wipe out the Chinese rebels known as the Restoration Army in one battle.
The reason why he chose Wang Youcai as a group of people to surround him instead of choosing the two or three thousand families of the Restoration Army.
To put it bluntly, I am still afraid of Zhu Hongyu's murderous threat!
As long as the soldiers of the Liberation Army were unable to be destroyed, the Spanish would not dare to attack the Chinese women, children, elderly and weak.
If both sides let go of the massacre of each other's civilians, no one can withstand this matter!
Besides, in Kayar's opinion, as long as he can annihilate the main combat soldiers of the Restoration Army, aren't the elderly, weak, women and children still allowed him to deal with it?
Listening to Yada's suspicion, Kayal shrugged.
"My dear Master Yada, it's okay even if the Chinese rebels were not deceived!"
"At worst, we can wipe out this small team of rebels first, and then slowly encircle and suppress the main force of the rebels!"
"Are you still worried that the guys with five or six hundred Spanish sticks will not be able to destroy a Chinese rebel?"
When Yada heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.
Two or three hundred Spanish troops lined up to pursue them, and the Ming Dynasty's Restoration Army fled in a panic and gradually fled into the mine.
Unseen at the back, more Spanish Army and natives followed closely.
...
In the mine, Wang Youcai led his men to retreat into the mine cave.
The surroundings are dark, and only the torches can bring them some light.
Wang Youcai leaned against the cold stone wall, gasping heavily.
"Damn it, it's so fucking unlucky. He was bitten by the red hair!"
"Quickly, count the number of people and see how many casualties were!"
