Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As for Roderney, he certainly hopes to succeed in persuading him to surrender.

    ¡°Because this way, he doesn¡¯t have to lead his men to fight, right?

    Of course, he also knew that this was just his own idea. Whether this attempt to persuade him to surrender would be successful or not, he himself did not know.

    Therefore, what he can do now is to let his subordinates take advantage of this time to rest and restore their physical strength.  If they can't reach an agreement there, they will immediately launch another attack on the enemy.

    However, after talking with the messenger, he understood why at such a time, His Highness would issue an order to stop the attack and persuade the enemy to surrender.

    The messenger did not hide anything and told Roddelny everything, giving Roddelny a general understanding.

    After all, this matter is not a secret.

    ¡°Even if Roddelney finds out, it doesn¡¯t matter.

    When Roddelny knew the reason, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

    He knows very well what kind of turmoil will occur when an army has no commander.

    Therefore, he can judge that it is precisely because the enemy army has no command system that it becomes so chaotic and unorganized when fighting him.

    At the same time, due to secret incitement, there are already signs of surrender among the enemy soldiers. So when there is no longer a command system, there is a high possibility that persuading surrender will be successful.

    Once the persuasion to surrender is successful, then Rodelnik will make a fortune.

    The Crown Prince of the Song Empire had promised that after conquering this eastern castle, he would have one-tenth of the wealth in the castle.

    At the same time, after the persuasion to surrender is successful, the battle will be considered over.

    Once it¡¯s over, he will have to pay his subordinates their salaries.

    With salary, these subordinates of yours will no longer lose their military morale, right?

    Yes, because these Portuguese followed Roderney to the East, but they did not make much money.  Therefore, they had begun to feel vaguely dissatisfied with Viscount Rodelney.

    If this dissatisfaction continues to ferment, his fate will eventually become very tragic.

    But as long as these people can make money, then this problem will be solved, right?

    However, from the beginning of the battle to the present, the mercenaries under Roddelny have also suffered a lot of casualties.

    In the end, using the period of temporary cessation of the attack, he did a little statistics and found that the casualties under his command were actually more than 300 to 200 people.

    Although only a dozen people died in the end, there were more than 200 people seriously and slightly injured.

    Those with minor injuries were easier to say, but those with serious injuriesRodelny thought it was impossible for them to survive.

    The reason why he had this idea was mainly because of the poor medical technology and water quality of this era.  Therefore, in this era, whether in the East or the West, seriously injured wounded people are basically equivalent to having one foot in hell.

    Of course, although the injured with minor injuries are relatively stronger, they are not much stronger.

    Often, even lightly injured people lose their lives due to tetanus or some careless infections.

    There are more than 200 people, and I don¡¯t know how many people can survive.

    Roddelny¡¯s originally happy mood suddenly turned depressed.

    But after all, these mercenaries and he are both Portuguese, and it is impossible for them to not care at all about their compatriot Roderny.

    "Sir, tell me, will your Highness pay the salaries of our injured brothers?"

    One of Roderny¡¯s men asked in a low voice.

    The reason why this subordinate asked this question is not without reason.

    Because when we were in Europe, many of the nobles who hired mercenaries only paid their salaries to the living, and they would not pay them to the dead.

    Therefore, on the battlefields of Europe, those nobles or lords who hired mercenaries usually hoped that it would be best if all the mercenaries died in a battle.

    ¡°In this way, he doesn¡¯t have to pay so much salary.

    Of course, it would be better if they all die after defeating the enemy.

    But for those mercenaries who work hard, they don¡¯tThink so.

    The leaders of the mercenary organizations believe that even if their men die in battle, the salary belonging to their subordinates should still be paid. After all, they have worked for you, right?

    Therefore, both the employer and the employer often get entangled in this issue and argue fiercely.

    But often in the end, this matter ends up being nothing.

    Now Roderney and the others are beginning to worry about this issue.

    For these mercenaries, although their lives are not valuable, they are still a life.

    Since you are working hard, there must be some benefits.

    Roddelny pondered for a moment, and then said to this subordinate: "I don't know much about this issue, but I think the Song Empire is so rich that it shouldn't be as stingy as the noble men in Europe. For them,  , this salary is nothing at all, you should find out about it. I will go and inquire about it, you first ask those injured brothers not to think nonsense. "

    "Sir, please hand over the wounded to us. We will carry them to a hospital outside the city to treat them in time."

    The Imperial Guard soldiers at the back organized a stretcher team and came to Roderny's side.

    Roddelny was very grateful for the fact that the Empire was willing to treat the wounded.  Because for mercenaries like them who work for money, the most troublesome problem is the wounded.

    On the European battlefield, for mercenaries like them who are paid to sell their lives, their employers are not responsible for their treatment.  Therefore, many times, the injured mercenaries can only resign themselves to their fate.

    "It's their good luck to survive, and it's their bad luck to die."

    This time, the Song Empire is willing to treat them. Although they don¡¯t know what the treatment method is, it is better than not caring at all.  For this reason alone, not only Rodelney himself, but even the Portuguese people employed by Zhao Hongyu were very grateful.

    ¡°If those who received treatment did not survive, they had nothing to complain about.

    It¡¯s just that they don¡¯t know that in the Song Empire¡¯s military medical team, the medicines used by people like them are products of a transcending era.  Treating their wounds with cold weapons is unique in this era.

    Therefore, the survival rate of these Portuguese mercenaries after the war was very high.

    Only a small number of the wounded lost their lives because their injuries were too severe and there was no way to treat them.

    Therefore, after Roddelny and his mercenaries learned about the powerful and effective treatment methods of the Song Empire, they felt that they should always follow the Song Empire's army to make money.

    After all, you can still get good care and treatment after being injured, and this treatment is very effective.  So why don't they continue to follow such forces and serve them.

    As long as you are careful, don't let yourself be severely traumatized, so isn't it possible?

    For example, in this battle, some of the wounded who were hit by rolling logs and suffered fractures were beyond their control, but they also survived under the treatment of the Song Empire.

    Therefore, it can be proved that the Song Empire¡¯s treatment methods are still very clever.

    So, after the war, Rodelney and the others followed the Song Empire into darkness.

    This is something Zhao Hongyu did not expect.

    In fact, for Zhao Hongyu, he treats these mercenaries.  In fact, it was also planned for himself, because if these mercenaries are alive, they will definitely work more for him in the future, right?

    You know, the war here in Kyushu is just the beginning.

    After the war in Kyushu is over, he will set off for the Ming Dynasty.

    By then, Zhao Hongyu would like to go to Liaodong to see the power of "our Qing Dynasty" that some people in this era boast of being very powerful.

    Zhao Hongyu wanted to know whether the troops under his command were more powerful or the boar skins were more powerful.

    At the same time, in addition to "my Qing Dynasty", he also wanted to see some effects around the Ming Dynasty, such as Siam, South Vietnam, and Southeast Asian countries.

    ¡°Even if conditions permit, he is willing to take a tour of the Mughal Kingdom, which is the Indian side.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    Since I have come to this era, and now I have created such a big foundation.

    You should always show up with your troops and show off your warrior muscles.

    ? ??? In other words, Zhao Hongyu decided to lead his empire and began to officially appear on the stage of history and start its performance.

    You must know that the prestige of the Song Empire is only spread in Europe.

    This is not enough for Zhao Hongyu.

    Since he has now taken a global view, at the same time, according to his discussions with Wang Shan, Zhang Tie, Song Hu, and Professor Liu, they will carry out a global strategy in the future.

    So, at a time like this, it is very necessary to show off your muscles appropriately and let some countries of this era take a look.

    "Otherwise, people will know who you are in the Song Empire.

    As the wounded were carried down the winding mountain road, the mercenaries began to rest in the safe area in accordance with Viscount Roderney's order.

    The Imperial Guards at the rear arranged for people to bring them boiled water and some food to help them replenish their strength.  Be prepared to let these cannon fodders continue to shine when persuading them to surrender fails.

    At the same time, two gene messengers have been selected. They arrived at the defensive circle of the fourth-level defenders of Shiliang City holding the five-star red flag representing the Song Empire.  (To be continued.
