Chapter 195 Ma Shoucheng Fulfills His Promise (For Automatic Subscription)
The battle to annihilate the Heichuan family can be regarded as the only battle in which the Changsheng camp of the Song Dynasty used its real strength to fight in the island country.
It's just that the sergeants of Changsheng Battalion have just been aroused by the Heichuan family to fight and want to fight.
The Heichuan family perished under the more fierce and brave attacks of Changsheng Battalion's cast iron bombs and artillery, as well as Changsheng Battalion's sergeants.
This panicked the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Changsheng Battalion.
What the hell, I've been meeting the five scumbags all the time, and I finally met someone who can hit a few times. This is just warming up, and it's over there!
How does this work?
After running so far, just fighting a decent battle this time, how to divide this little military merit!
These soldiers strongly requested to go to the other two islands to find people to fight with, otherwise the situation of being unable to go up or down would be too uncomfortable.
Ma Shoucheng received the report from his generals, thinking that the general had left the war here to him, and his guys were so anxious to fight.
Then don't wait, just take the remaining two big islands.
So he divided the [-] cavalry army and the [-] infantry army into three parts, leaving enough manpower to search for the mineral deposits that the commander needed on the occupied island.
Some of the remaining people were led by him to capture the big island in the north, and for the other part, Qu Huolong led [-] Musketeers, [-] infantry, [-] Vulcan troops, and [-] cavalry to attack the smallest Shikoku Island.
By this time, the islanders in other places also knew that the Kurokawa family, which they called the invisible king here, was actually wiped out by these Song troops like peeling melons and vegetables.
This made other forces stop thinking about opposing the Song Dynasty army. When the Changsheng Battalion attacked the remaining two large islands, they encountered almost no resistance and successfully included the large island in the north and Shikoku Island. The territory of the Song Dynasty.
Just as Ma Shoucheng was busy registering and registering the seizures on several islands, preparing to transport them back to his commander-in-chief Zhenbeiwang's fiefdom.
A general came to announce the good news with a look of surprise, saying that a large amount of silver was found in a secret place of the Kurokawa family, and that there were tens of millions of taels of silver piled up in several huge secret warehouses.
Ma Shoucheng immediately thought that the Kurokawa family must control this super-large silver mine, otherwise they would not have so much silver.
Moreover, the Kurokawa family will never allow others to enter their territory, probably because they are worried that the silver mine controlled by their family will be known.
Anyone who wants to rob their territory, the Kurokawa family will feel that they know that their family has a silver mine and want to rob them of their silver mine, so they will fight to the death with those who want to rob their territory!
Ma Shoucheng hurriedly sent someone to deliver a letter to Xiao Qi, expressing his guess.
Then he took people to surround the place where the Kurokawa family's silver was found, and began to thoroughly investigate where the Kurokawa family's silver mine was.
When Xiao Qi got the news, he was leading some craftsmen to experiment with a new refining furnace.
During this time, he made many suggestions and asked these craftsmen to modify the refining furnace according to the method he said. It can be said that the new improved refining furnace is many times more efficient than the one used before.
Having just tested a newer refining furnace, Xiao Qi felt that it could no longer be improved with today's technical means.
If you want to make further progress, you can only let these craftsmen discover and make up for some small shortcomings and flaws in the whole day's operation.
Xiao Qi was not too surprised to hear that Ma Shoucheng had sent someone to report.
Because on the map in his hand, there are several mines in the sphere of influence of the Heichuan family, and one of them is a super-large silver mine that Xiao Qi had heard of in his previous life.
The reason why the Kurokawa family can have such a strong strength is not unrelated to their possession of this super silver mine.
Only by owning this large silver mine can the Kurokawa family have a lot of wealth and win over a large number of retainers for their family.
The previous Furuoya family probably couldn't use it just like a silver mine because it was a gold mine. They needed to quietly send someone to exchange gold for silver in order to buy things in large quantities.
Therefore, although the wealth of the Furuoya family is not much less than that of the Kurokawa family, the silver mined by the Kurokawa family can quickly become what they need.
But the Furumiya family cannot do that. They have to carefully exchange gold for silver. Such restrictions make them one level behind the Kurokawa family in terms of strength.
Soon Xiao Qi led people to the location of the secret warehouse built by the Kurokawa family.
This secret warehouse is composed of several stone chambers hidden in the heart of the mountain. There are already five huge stone chambers that have been dug and stored in silver.
The other side of the passage.Connected to two other stone chambers that are currently being excavated.
Seeing that the Heichuan family was still digging the warehouse for storing silver, Xiao Qi knew that he had guessed right. The Heichuan family must have discovered that large silver mine long ago and had been digging for hundreds of years.
Moreover, it seems that the main vein of the silver mine has been dug now, and the surge in silver production has forced them to quickly dig out new storage warehouses.
After seeing the entire structure of the secret warehouse in the belly of the mountain, Xiao Qi also admired the long-term plan of the Heichuan family.
Returning to the five stone chambers where the silver was hidden, Xiao Qi couldn't help sighing secretly, the Heichuan family was probably the biggest force that secretly smuggled silver to China after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty!
It's a pity that I met myself now, and there will never be anyone who smuggles silver to China in the future, and there are only silver-producing areas in the Dongying Province of the Great Song Dynasty!
Looking at the large amounts of silver stored in several stone chambers, Xiao Qi made a rough estimate. It was more than 1000 million taels. The silver stock in any of these five stone chambers was more than 500 million taels.
Xiao Qi casually put all the silver in a stone room into his warehouse, turned around and left the stone room.
Tell Ma Shoucheng and others waiting outside to send the silver in the two stone chambers to the imperial court, and the silver in one stone chamber to his fiefdom.
The silver in the last stone room will be rewarded to the soldiers at all levels first, and the rest will be sent to the princess Zhang Xiu, so that she can take someone to see how the disabled soldiers who followed them in the battle are doing well. good.
If those people are not doing well, let the big princess give them some pensions from the money.
As soon as this order came out, Ma Shoucheng and the soldiers nearby were deeply moved. The prince-in-law did not forget the veterans who first followed him!
When they were chatting privately, they felt sorry for the earliest disabled comrades. At that time, the Prince Consort had just emerged. Although he won every battle, the Victory Battalion was still weak at that time.
Every battle was a victory won by a large number of soldiers who worked hard with their lives. There were many casualties but not many captures. Although those soldiers who died and were disabled in battle received generous pensions.
But the pension at that time was very different from the pension now.
Now after this son-in-law got a huge amount of silver, the first thing he thought of was those old brothers who were disabled earlier, he is really a handsome man with love and righteousness!
Xiao Qi was busy shipping the silver back to the Song Dynasty. He led the craftsmen to the rich silver mine that the Heichuan family had dug for hundreds of years, and started to build a new type of refining furnace, preparing to refine a large amount of silver and send it back to Da Song. Song.
And Ma Shoucheng was not idle either.
Now all the big islands here have been captured by Da Song, and he hardly needs to worry about capturing the small islands around them.
Sailor Long Yongsheng took the "Shanghai" and several large ships and swept almost all the way, and all the islanders on the small islands surrendered wherever they went.
The war was considered to be over at this time, Ma Shoucheng remembered the promise he had made with the two generals Qin Tu and Linzheng when he came, and quickly ordered his gold soldiers to go around to publicize the search for young women in the island country.
Now it's time to fulfill the promise to Qin and Lin, otherwise the two generals will definitely scold their ancestral graves out of smoke if they catch him.
Who would have thought that recruiting these [-] island country women went surprisingly smoothly. In just one and a half months, they found [-] island country women who volunteered to go to the Song Dynasty to be concubines for the disabled soldiers.
The women in this island country think about the same as the women in the peninsula, and they all think that Song Dynasty is a good place. As long as they can go to Song Dynasty and become a Song native, let alone be concubines for those disabled soldiers, they can be bed warmers.
Soon these [-] island women were sent back to Song Dynasty by a large ship together with a large amount of seized silver.
At this time, the Song Dynasty needed a large number of island country women, and the news that they were going to be concubines for the soldiers of the Song Dynasty gradually spread.
Every day, there are still a large number of young women from the island country, running to the Song Dynasty military camps in various places and asking to sign up to follow the Song Army back to the Song Dynasty.
And it means that when it comes to serving men, their island country women are definitely the best in the world. As long as Song Jun is willing to marry them as concubines, they will definitely do their best to serve their men well.
I woke up at [-] o'clock this morning, thinking that I would take a break without having to update anything today, but ended up falling asleep again until [-] o'clock in the afternoon.Although writing is not a physical job, writing updates is really tiring. You have to set aside time to go out for a walk in the future. Otherwise, it would be too funny for a rookie author who is not very good at writing to write himself down.
