Chapter 572: Knowing shame and being brave, there is no greater good

As night falls gradually, the charming moonlight falls peacefully again, turning the world into a silvery white, holy and flawless. If there is no daytime battle, such moonlight will make people feel very quiet. Joining hands with couples and walking among flowers is definitely a joy in life.

However, for the soldiers of the Tiger Army who had just finished the battle, the moonlight was not what they care about the most. The couple, the flower shop, were not what they care about. What they care about the most was whether there would be any accidents on such a night. What they care about was whether they could sleep peacefully.

On Yonghan Beach, there was a peaceful atmosphere everywhere in the bonfire everywhere. The officers and soldiers of Dengzhou Navy, who had just escaped from the danger, finally returned to a safe and peaceful environment. They were all greedily breathing fresh air. Some people fell asleep quietly.

This is the north of Lianyun Island, with a very vast beach. This beach has no name, so Zhang Zhun named it Yonghan Beach. After the daytime battle, Zhang Zhun brought his troops here. He prepared to take a break here and prepare for tomorrow's battle. He spent the night on the boat, but he did not feel comfortable spending the night on land.

This beach is also the only way for the Gaizhou Wei Tatars to reinforce Lianyun Island. If the Gaizhou Wei Tatars to reinforce Lianyun Island, they must go ashore on this beach. If the Tatars on Lianyun Island try to escape, they also need to pass here. The Hu Ben Army spent the night here just blocking the reinforcement road of Gaizhou Wei Tatars, and at the same time cutting off the escape route of Lianyun Island Tatars, killing two birds with one stone.

The warships of the Hu Ben Army were all docked near Yonghan Beach. However, since there was no port, the water near Yonghan Beach was shallow, and the warships could not dock. When everyone got ashore, they had to rely on a sampan or wadered directly.

After setting foot on Yonghan Beach, the officers and soldiers of the Dengzhou Navy were paralyzed on the beach and no longer wanted to move. For them, everything that happened during the day was like walking around the gates of hell. If their pace was a little slower, they would go to the left and enter hell. Fortunately, God blessed them, and they chose to go to the right. After a thrilling battle, they finally turned out.

The Hu Ben Army ship was carrying a large amount of supplies, including water, food and medicine, and five military doctors sent by the Medical Department. After settling down in Yonghantan, the five military doctors were busy to check the health of the Dengzhou Navy. According to Zhang Zhun's combat plan, the officers and soldiers of the Dengzhou Navy must be used immediately after they are rescued.

Most of the Dengzhou navy officers and soldiers were severely depressed due to long-term hunger, lack of food and poor clothing. As long as they slowly return to normal diet and exercise, they can recover. Of course, Luo Kai's eyes will definitely not be able to recover. This is God's punishment for him, and he himself recognized it.

Zhang Zhun chose the worst-performing ship and transported the seriously injured back to Laizhou Prefecture for treatment. Now those who stay on the beach are basically capable of exercising. After eating food and water, their expressions looked pretty good. Some people were very tired and fell asleep early. Some people tossed and turned and couldn't sleep no matter how much.

In the middle of Yonghan Beach, the bonfire was particularly bright and the voices were buzzing. The snipers around Zhang Zhun were having a big meal. They were holding iron thorns made of iron wire, picking up pieces of horse meat, and then putting it on the charcoal to slowly grill it. In a while, a charming fragrance wafted out.

Lu Yidian not only knew some words, but also some barbecue techniques. Just so Brother Wei and Meng Xia also understood a little, so the three of them became full-time barbecue masters, constantly grilling pieces of horse meat and then distributing them to the people around them. Liu Mang and Huang Xian started to work next to each other, cut the washed horse meat into standard pieces, and then handed them over to the three of them to barbecue.

In addition to eating the roasted horse meat, there is also a large amount of delivery. People around you can get their gifts as long as they are interested. Of course, portions from Zhang Zhun and others are indispensable. The most roasted horse meat was sent to Zhang Zhun.

"Come one?"

Zhang Zhun used iron thorns to pick up a piece of roasted fragrant horse meat, handed it to Chen Yaoyang casually, and said kindly.

"Thanks!"

Chen Yaoyang hurriedly thanked him and reached out to take the horse meat.

Zhang Zhun casually pulled the fork back, picked a piece of fragrant horse meat, and ate it on his own. While eating, he kept nodding, and kept giving thumbs up at Lu Yidian, Meng Xia and the others, praising their skills for being good. Lu Yidian, Meng Xia and others were even more motivated and buried their heads in baking more horse meat.

They could eat fresh roasted horse meat, and they had to thank Mao Huihui and others. During the daytime battle, the Hu Ben Army killed many Tartars and many Tartar war horses. It was fine to have the corpses of the Tartars, but the human flesh was not delicious, but the horse meat was delicious. So they quietly shored, cut a lot of horse meat down, and pulled it back to make barbecue.

There is no refrigerator on the ship of the Hu Ben Army Navy and cannot save fresh meat. It is absolutely impossible for them to eat fresh meat. What they can usually eat are meat such as cured meat, bacon, salted fish, etc. After eating it for a long time, you will feel very greasy and don’t want to eat it. Therefore, compared to pork and beef, although horse meat is very undelicious, it is a rare delicacy for naval soldiers.

On this night, several senior officers of the Hu Ben Army, Zhang Zhun, Li Jicheng, Huang Shijun, Mao Huihui, Zhang Xuehai, Zhang Shenggao, Wang Chenglin, Ling Sishao and others, sat around the campfire, eating roasted horse meat while chatting, enjoying this rare leisure. The daytime battle was quite smooth, and everyone was in a good mood. As long as this momentum continued, it would be no problem to defeat the Tartars in the end.

Luo Kai and Chen Yaoyang were also invited to sit aside. However, the two were obviously unable to let go. They sat next to each other without any movement. Especially Chen Yaoyang, they were obviously a little worried, looking forward and talking several times, but in the end they didn't say anything. Everyone cherished this rare and quiet night. Since they didn't speak, others would naturally not force them.

"Governor, I..."

Chen Yaoyang suddenly wanted to speak but stopped.

"What? Say it!"

He opened his mouth and gnawed the roasted horse meat in his mouth and said casually.

"I... Governor, if the Tianjin Navy is willing to join the Hu Ben Army... I mean, if... I don't know what special measures will the adults take?"

Chen Yaoyangtun said hesitantly.

"All employees are laid off and will be recruited."

Zhang Zhun said bluntly.

"What's the point?"

Chen Yaoyang asked hurriedly.

Zhang Zhun nodded to Huang Shijun and said casually: "Old Huang, tell me."

Huang Shijun nodded, ate the roasted horse meat in his mouth in big mouth, and then introduced it in detail.

The so-called layoff of all personnel, of course, refers to all officers and soldiers of the Tianjin Navy. Note that all officers and soldiers, including officers and soldiers, must be laid off. Whether they are the generals of the Navy or the most ordinary sailors, they must be laid off. In other words, their military identities have been removed.

What the Hu Ben Army needs is a real person who does things and does not have any redundant staff. Without the courage to fight against the Tartars and without the ability to respond, you should not expect to join the Hu Ben Army at all. Therefore, the Hu Ben Army will hold professional skills competitions against the original officers and soldiers. If you can pass the test, you can take up the job. On the contrary, if you cannot pass the test, you cannot take up the job.

For soldiers who do not meet the requirements, the Hu Ben Army's approach is very simple. If you demobilize and demobilize, you can go back to your hometown or choose another place yourself. Of course, you can also move to Laizhou Prefecture or Dengzhou Prefecture to live a new life. If you move to an area controlled by the Hu Ben Army, five acres of land per person will definitely be guaranteed.

"Governor, our original private property..."

Chen Yaoyang said hesitantly.

"Private property? Can be retained!"

Zhang Zhun said readily.

Chen Yaoyang then breathed a sigh of relief.

The biggest ability of those who are officials is to accumulate some private property. The Tianjin Navy was indeed very poor. The court never allocated any silver. Almost all warships were broken and could only be used in the Bohai Bay. If they left the Yellow Sea or the South China Sea, a storm might come and the warships would be overturned. However, the Ming Dynasty officials were always very capable of making money. The Tianjin Navy also had its own way of making money.

Although Chen Yaoyang was a small guerrilla general, he also accumulated a net worth of thousands of taels of silver. Of course, compared with many senior officials, a net worth of thousands of taels of silver is simply not worth mentioning. It seems that a senior official like Wen Tiren has a net worth of at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

But Chen Yaoyang was very concerned. Because it was not easy for the Tianjin Navy to accumulate a fortune of thousands of taels of silver. If the Hu Ben Army wanted to confiscate these private property, he would definitely not want to. I believe that no other senior executives of the Tianjin Navy were willing to do so.

“The land…”

Chen Yaoyang said slowly again.

"How to stipulate the "Jotian Order" and how do you implement it."

Zhang Zhun still said readily.

Chen Yaoyang quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The senior officials of the Tianjin Navy still have some land, but they are relatively scattered. After all, the Tianjin Navy was raised by the stepmother and no one loved them. The land they distributed to them was scattered. The capital was a place where powerful and high-ranking officials were densely packed. The fertile fields in northern Zhili were occupied by powerful and high-ranking officials. It was not their turn to be the gangster generals, guerrillas and other small fish and shrimps. According to the requirements of the Juntian Order, Chen Yaoyang was not very resistant.

He knew very well that according to the principle of laying off all employees and competing for employment, it was obviously impossible for them to be in office. The future Hu Ben Navy would not have the position of such mediocre officials. In other words, they could only become a small landlord with the accumulated wealth. Perhaps Laizhou Prefecture is a good choice?

Luo Kai listened beside him and said tentatively: "Sir, we... did not get the head of the Tartars..."

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "It is no greater good to know shame than to be brave. I hope you can use practical actions to express your determination. If you are willing to participate in the competition, you can also sign up. I can leave the past without any blame for the past."

Luo Kai then breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Zhun's words mean that he no longer discriminates against them and gives them the opportunity to wash away shame. In fact, they really want to wash away the stains on their bodies. Few people are willing to be scolded by others behind their backs. The word traitor is to humiliate their ancestors and accumulate descendants. After the previous lessons, they will never be traitors even if they are beaten to death.

In the second half of the night, Zhang Zhun's intention soon spread among the officers and soldiers of the Tianjin Navy and Dengzhou Navy. Everyone was considering their own way out. After witnessing the battle of the Hu Ben Army during the day, many sailors became interested in joining the Hu Ben Army. Of course, there were also many people who were not ready to continue to participate in the war. They were tired of the war, so they should go to Laizhou Prefecture obediently, collect five acres of land, and live a stable life.

When we went to bed at night, everyone slept on the beach. Zhang Zhun was no exception. In a vague manner, gunfire kept coming from the south, indicating that the battle in the middle of Lianyun Island was still going on. At the end of the evening, Zhang Yin once reported that 158 ​​Tartars had been killed. However, three people in the Tiger Army Marine Corps were also killed and five were injured. It can be seen that the Tartars' counterattack was still relatively strong.

Zhang Yin said helplessly that the terrain hidden by the Tartars was too complicated. It was like a maze. The Tartars were familiar with the terrain of the maze, but the Hu Ben Army was not familiar with it, so they naturally had a disadvantage. The battle between the Hu Ben Army and the Tartars was like playing hide-and-seek with the Tartars. If you were not careful, you would suffer losses. The Tartars' combat policy was also very clear, which was to cause losses to the Hu Ben Army as much as possible and then force the Hu Ben Army to retreat.

Even the Marine Commander Fang He was shot by the Tartars. Fortunately, it was not a vital part, and his life was saved. However, he must have been lying in bed for two months. For this reason, Fang He was so angry that he cursed. Later, the Marine Corps used a large amount of explosive bags, directly blew the maze down and pushed the flat. The battle situation was a little better. However, such flat pushing consumed too much of the explosive bags.

"Since the explosive pack is effective, then continue to use it!"

"After using it, just let the rear send it."

Zhang Zhun said without hesitation.
Chapter completed!
