1953: Passed by
Mattus did not live in his own military camp. Yu Rongguang prepared the best room on Inkstone Harbor for him. So Mattus saw the luxury and wealth of the East like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden. This made him sigh that although Qin Li had cheated the Tiger Dynasty, at least one thing he said was that the wealth of the Ming Dynasty in the East was real.
From this perspective, there is nothing wrong with the Tiger Dynasty's idea of robbing and occupying this place. The only mistake is that their power is far inferior to others.
Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but cross the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window and looked at the place where his army was stationed.
A temporary humiliation is nothing. A true man can bend and stretched. I remember that before His Majesty Danxi had suffered countless humiliations, he finally demanded them all one by one.
Now that the Ming Dynasty is strong, I naturally have to keep my low and small. When I return to the Western Continent, the weak crown prince is still his opponent. Unifying the Western Continent is just around the corner. Then I will naturally strive to make a strong effort. There will be cream and bread. When my strength is strong enough, the East will eventually come back.
The Ming people left ten thousand of their own people to be thugs for them, which was the price they must pay. But of course, they could not pay in vain. They also left enough personnel in it. They would have a deeper understanding of the Ming Dynasty, learn from the Ming Dynasty, and follow the example of the Ming Dynasty. When they returned to the Western Continent, they would have a deeper understanding of this mysterious country.
Know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. This Eastern proverb also applies to the West.
Yangang has become a lush commercial land again. Construction teams are repairing or rebuilding houses destroyed in the war day and night. Streets have been cleared out and shops have been reopened. Especially outside the military camps where soldiers from the Western Continent are stationed, a commercial street formed by small vendors has been formed. These soldiers from the Western Continent can move freely in this limited area. Those beautiful, exquisite and very cheap oriental goods have now become popular products for these soldiers.
It didn't take long for these soldiers to become paupers, which made the later vendors very regretful. In the Ming Dynasty, soldiers were the group with the strongest purchasing power, but this experience does not seem to be applicable to these soldiers in the Western Continent.
Of course, in addition to these soldiers from the Western Continent, there is another group that now has strong purchasing power, which are the local soldiers recruited by Yu Rongguang in this sea area.
During the war, these people did not really go to the battlefield to fight, but just did some auxiliary work, sending shells, lifting wounded, and becoming a keen man. However, after the victory of the war, Yu Rongguang still gave a lot of rewards. The income of these natives was still very limited. Many goods from the Ming Dynasty were purely luxury goods for them, but now they had a lot of money in their hands, so they spread out some fun to buy things that they could only take a look at, such as those beautiful hand-embroidered silk, teapots and wine cups inlaid with gold and silver threads, cotton cloth with beautiful patterns, and some people who bravely stepped onto the battlefield received more rewards, and even generously bought spirits, perfumes and other items, and then happily embroidered with these things.
Most of these people came from other island countries in this sea area. They were basically the proletariat locally, but after a war, they immediately became rich.
In another place in Yangang, in the white battlefield hospital with the Red Cross floating, some people were packing their parcels and preparing to return home.
They are another group of figures under Yu Rongguang's command. Compared with the local recruiters who played the side drum, these retired soldiers from the Ming Dynasty have actually become another main force in this war and the group with the most casualties.
Qin Li is one of these.
After he was in the local ranks for a few days, he disappeared. When he appeared again, he was discovered by the Ming army while cleaning the battlefield. At that time, he was lying dying in a collapsed house. His clothes were burning and his whole body seemed to be scorched, but he was still alive. In the eyes of Ming army who rescued him, this guy was really lucky.
Judging from the traces at the scene, the house was smashed by a scattered armament by a Matteus army, and the area was then grilled with hot turbulence.
All the Ming army remembered that battle, because their biggest casualties came from here, and the team stationed here was almost destroyed.
At that time, they were not sure about the origin of this hot oil bomb, nor did they know how to deal with it. Now, with the armistice with Mattus and the agreement reached, this hot oil bomb has become one of the spoils, and some finished products were immediately packaged and sent back to the Ming Academy of Sciences for the madmen in the Academy of Sciences to study how this thing was made. After suffering a loss, the experienced Ming army naturally knew the huge role of this thing in the battle.
When they burn, it is not only difficult to put out the fire, but also almost clean the air around them. The burning is something that is not something that is in person, and those who are not in person cannot experience that despair.
The dying Qin Li was carried back to the battlefield hospital, and the doctors tried their best to rescue the survivor. When the lucky man finally survived the dangerous period, everyone just lamented that this person's life was great enough and his luck was good enough. At this time, even if Yu Rongguang stood in front of Qin Li, he was afraid that he would not recognize this patient who had been burned out of recognition and could not speak out. The probe of the Qi spy he wanted to catch.
Qin Li received a large reward and pension. No one could find his origin for a guy who was unrecognizable, speechless and illiterate.
Qin Li, carrying a small bag, boarded a merchant ship under the caress of two volunteers who were also preparing to rebel. He had a check for the full Daming communal issued by the Yangang Branch of the Ming Bank. This was the reward he received, and a certificate issued by Rongguang himself proved that he was injured in the bloody battle for the Ming Dynasty in Yangang. When he returned to the village with such a certificate, the local government had the obligation to do his best to take good care of such people.
Touching the check and the roll of documents in his arms, Qin Li was filled with emotion. No wonder the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were so lucky and good at fighting on the battlefield and never retreated. Like himself, even though he had become a human being and a ghost not a ghost, the huge check was enough to buy dozens of acres of land after returning to his hometown, buy a large house with three entrances and three wings, and buy a few good oxen. The family's life would change as a result. This is not the honor that the document brought to him. If he was a real Ming Dynasty person, after returning to his hometown, he could obtain a position as an official locally. Even if he didn't want to do these things, he would have a fortune and maintenance fee every year in the future and live a worry-free life.
The merchant ship slowly left the shore. Looking at Yangang, which was recovering at an astonishing speed, Qin Li suddenly knelt down at the bow of the ship and cried hoarsely. Looking at Qin Li who was crying in tears, the two companions who were taking care of him were squatting beside him and comforting him quietly. They thought Qin Li was suffering because he had suffered such severe injuries. How could he have thought that Qin Li was crying bitterly at this moment because he seemed to have seen the future of Qi.
He convinced Danxi hundreds of thousands of people to cross the sea to march eastward, but the Ming people only used the navy and a very limited number of regular troops to defeat Danxi. The Ming people even extended their tentacles to the distant West and began to make arrangements. Qin Li, who saw the Ming people making peace with Mattus and had been dealing with conspiracies all his life, had already thought about what the Ming people wanted to do.
Even though Mattus is not a fool, he can only attract wolves under the pressure of form. His self-righteous IQ is simply vulnerable under the design of such talented people in the Ming Dynasty.
It seems that the Ming Dynasty's backhand must be one move after another. Just like when they were dealing with the State of Chu, they would break a powerful country without any need to dispatch troops and let them take it.
If someone opened Qin Li's baggage to check at this time, he would be extremely shocked to find that there were countless huge secrets hidden in the seriously injured guy's inconspicuous baggage.
These things were all brought by Qin Li from the Tiger Dynasty. The most important one is the complete set of documents such as the refining of hot turmeric oil, standing, and transportation.
But at this time, he was a hero in the eyes of the Ming people, a warrior who fought for the country without fear of life and death. How could anyone who saw him do such a thing to him besides respect?
The merchant ship carrying Qin Li left Yangang far away. Qin Li, who was sitting at the bow of the ship, saw that in the other direction, a fleet was sailing towards Yangang in a slashing waves. It was the battle formation of the Dachu. Qin Feng came to Yangang. He passed by Qin Li. At this time, Yu Rongguang, who was with Mattus, was naturally unable to imagine that Qin Li, whom he offered a reward, was already heading towards the Ming Dynasty. Mattus, except for being a little annoyed that there was no such thing as free, had no other thoughts.
Qin Li was chosen to be forgotten by everyone.
