Chapter 2124 Bribing Hong Mao(2/3)
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Just like this time, the enemy originally wanted to take advantage of the absence of his main force to have a black tiger take out the heart, but he failed to take out the heart.
They just burned and killed some villages. It is estimated that the opponent wanted to train their troops, but they did not really train their troops. Instead, they consumed a lot of food and carried out a lot of useless marches.
Of course, this kind of march is also a valuable training experience.
It can be said that the other party has partially achieved the purpose of military training.
He was very annoyed and originally wanted to make a roundabout way to catch the other party.
As a result, more than half of the horses died due to the long journey, and 10% of them fell ill due to excessive fatigue, and hundreds of them died.
You must know that these are some of the most elite warriors who are very tough and can endure hardships.
If it had been an ordinary Eight Banners, half of them would have been destroyed long ago.
After all, this is a journey of thousands of miles.
No one in ancient times had done it.
Even the white-armored soldiers couldn't bear it anymore.
He couldn't help but curse: "Damn these bastards, I will kill them all sooner or later."
But he soon calmed down again.
"Amin Belle, you have also seen it, tell me why your opponent dares to attack us when he is obviously very weak and does not dare to fight head-on?"
"Because they have sea ships, they can't beat them. They can escape directly on sea ships. It's the same as the Dongjiang River. They are on the island. As long as it doesn't freeze, they are not afraid of us." Amin replied immediately.
"Yes, so if we want to defeat them completely, we must also have our own sea ships."
"If we also have sea ships, we can block the harbor now and besiege and defeat them!"
Amin was stunned for a moment.
"So I want to give you a task. You have to find an inland river nearby that can lead to the sea. First, establish an inland river navy and practice it well. Then, occupy the outlet to the sea and use the cannons we captured to build a fort at the outlet.
, then build a port based on forts and defend the port."
"Then we have to build shipyards and train sailors. We, the Eight Banners, will not only dominate on land, but also on the sea."
Amin suddenly felt dizzy. He was originally a hero on horseback.
Now let him supervise the construction of the navy.
How could he know that this was Huang Taiji's well-intentioned intention to give him a big job?
Huang Taiji wanted to change the strategic goals of the Eight Banners.
After all, he knew that the five-hundred-year-old empire must occupy the ocean.
Otherwise, they will be overthrown and killed by others in the end.
But in Amin's opinion, this was Huang Taiji's attempt to suppress him again.
The other party must be trying to separate themselves from the familiar army.
Let yourself master the unfamiliar navy.
After a few years, I couldn't control my original team.
Even his original blue flag will follow him to the sea to fight, and gradually no one will follow him.
At that time, if you lose your influence, it will be easy for the other party to find your son or grandson to replace you as the leader of the blue flag.
Amin hated it deeply when he thought of this.
But there is nothing that can be done.
Because under the leadership of Huang Taiji, the Eight Banners flourished and became stronger and stronger.
The surrender of people's hearts is no longer something he can fight against.
This human heart is very subtle. Many people seem to have grasped it, but in fact they have not.
Just like now, Huang Taiji has made farming by using the excellent crops of the Ming Dynasty a very profitable business.
In this way, 90% of the Eight Banners disciples are willing to support him.
If you want to rebel, the people who put up the blue flag will not take the risk, because there is almost no chance of victory.
He had no choice but to kneel down and say, "I would like to share the worries of the Great Khan."
"Very good. From now on, I, the disciples of the Eight Banners, will conquer the seven seas, and all of you can be crowned kings overseas." Huang Taiji came up and divided the pie.
As soon as he said these words, the resentful thoughts in Amin's heart disappeared a lot.
Amin had a feeling of luck. If he controlled the navy and ran outside, wouldn't he have successfully escaped the threat of Huang Taiji?
In the previous attack on Dongchao, I was not allowed to go. If I went, I could try to stand on my own.
"Thank you Khan for your kindness." Amin knelt down again.
Anyway, I don’t know how long I have been kneeling.
However, just a few years ago, the two were equal to Big Baylor.
The four major Baylors have been co-governing for just over a year.
"Okay, brother, please get up." Huang Taiji smiled, "But in the harbor in front of us, we still have to try to push him away, and we can't let this fish stick in our throat."
Amin nodded: "What the Great Khan said is true, but the opponent is equipped with guns and artillery, making it difficult to attack. In the past, Khan attacked Ningyuan, but he retreated because he was afraid of too many casualties."
"You are right." Huang Taiji thought to himself, no one understands the power of this better than himself.
If we attack forcefully, more than half of our 6,000 men and Amin's 7,000 men will be taken in.
In the end, the opponent still relied on sea ships to retreat.
Amin said nothing.
"But we can use time. Those red-haired people are the most greedy for money, and we looted a lot of money this time. If I take out 1 million taels, do you think those red-haired people will open the door and fight back?
" Huang Taiji said confidently.
"Ah?" Amin never expected that he would have such a hand.
He had to sigh.
He didn't know anything about the red-haired man. If he had known that this was the case, he would have tried it with one hundred thousand taels of silver!
"Don't worry, these Westerners are not our people. They have no faith and only care about money. We will pay three times the amount the pirates who hired them paid!"
Huang Taiji's words can be said to have hit his weak spot.
Will these red-haired people defect in the face of battle?
Yi Zijia actually took this into consideration.
Therefore he has withdrawn the red-haired men from the harbor walls.
Instead, some more reputable mercenary officers were left behind.
There is no honor for low-level mercenaries, and they will be beaten by whoever pays them more.
Anyway, after this fight, go home, get married and live a happy life, who cares about reputation?
But not mercenary officers.
They often pull together a team and have to consider long-term credibility work.
You can't just hit your employer. If someone else gives you money, and you hit your employer in turn, no one will look for you next time.
Everyone is afraid of such gangs.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Isn’t it cheap to spend money to fight?
There are 2,000 red-haired musketeers.
He arranged it on the ship.
At the same time, we also understand why it is difficult for mercenaries to become the main force against the barbarians.
Because the irony is that the barbarians have money, but the Ming Dynasty has no money.
If the scale is small, it's okay and you can control the opponent. If the scale is large, it's hard to trust.
If the other party becomes a customer, the problem will be troublesome.
Here comes the problem.
Why didn’t the Eight Banners bribe local soldiers this time?
Because local soldiers have parents and children, the cost of buying them is high.
Of course, I bought it later.
Once the army was fully paid, many Ming troops were reduced to green camps.
The Ming army obviously cannot compare with these navies.
Their weapons and armor alone are very expensive.
Not easy to buy.
