Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1223 Dedicated to the Lord of the Army
The queen of Aceh, who became a captive, had her hands tied behind her back, and the soldier in charge of the execution took the musket into his hand and loaded the bullet into the chamber.

The queen of Aceh seems to have realized that the other party has no interest in her who has lost power, but wants to execute her like her husband.There was a hint of despair in her eyes.

"My lord, didn't you just say that you want to send it to the military headquarters? Your reward?" Takashige Tachibana, who captured the Queen of Aceh, found that Huang Degong didn't know how to cherish fragrance and pity jade at all, so he executed her on the spot.

"I will report this credit to the military department, but the military department should not be interested in the kings and queens of such backward places." Huang Degong said.

Aceh is the largest indigenous kingdom in Sumatra, and even the Portuguese small-scale colonial army in Malacca was unable to suppress the Portuguese after decades of fighting. In Huang Degong's view, it is indeed a "backward" place.

"At the very least, we should take a look at the appearance of this woman, otherwise it seems a pity to be executed like this." Tachibana Tadamo said.

"That's right, sir, we also want to see how the woman who can be the queen looks like!" A group of soldiers booed.

"Then take off her veil and let her die with dignity." Huang Degong said.

Two soldiers approached the Queen of Aceh to take off her veil.

The queen of Aceh tried desperately to struggle, but her hands were tied behind her back, and the more she struggled, the tighter the hemp rope became, causing tears to flow from the corners of her aching eyes.

The veil was torn off by two soldiers, revealing a face that is all over the country, with skin that can be broken by blows, and a head of black oriental hair, which turned out to be a peerless stunner.Especially with tears in the corners of his eyes, and feeling ashamed and angry because the veil was lifted, it added a bit of charm to the eyes of all men.

"Compared with the concubines we captured in the past, this queen is simply a world of difference."

"Gu... my lord, can you not execute her, why don't you give her up..." Tachibana Tadamo swallowed, and wanted to ask Huang Degong to give him the captured queen.

Huang Degong didn't expect that the queen of his Aceh country would be a beauty. Originally, he didn't have much interest in the aesthetics of the kings of these places, and thought it was just an ordinary woman.

"Our standing army only has the right to execute and capture prisoners, and has no right to dispose of prisoners... I think it's better to dedicate her to the military leader, maybe there will be extra rewards..." Huang Degong saw that the queen of Aceh is estimated to be less than two years old Ten, another look of troublesome beauty, so I moved my mind.

Such a beautiful and troublesome person, if everyone present monopolizes it, it is inevitable that there will be gossip.

It's okay for him as a regiment commander to force Queen Alan to stay, but it may ruin his reputation as a regiment commander. If he is criticized for this matter, he may lose his position as regiment commander.

No matter how beautiful she is, in Huang Degong's opinion, she can't compare with the position of regimental commander.As the commanders of the Corps, many times they regard their careers as more important than beautiful women. Many times, the troubles of beauty are just that later generations forcibly pinned their hats on a certain woman in order to enhance the story.

"These places don't have any special products. If we can dedicate the beauties here to the military lord, maybe the military lord will reward us!" The rest of the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers booed.

They knew that captives and beauties of this level would not be their turn, so they might as well send them to the capital. If the military leader can accept them with a smile, then the officers and soldiers of their No. 12 regiment participating in this operation can add a credit.

Tachibana Tadashige was somewhat regretful. If he had captured such a beautiful woman in the Warring States Period in Japan, he would have thought of a way to execute her on the spot.

Now the queen of Aceh is going to be treated as a spoil, and everyone has become a supervisor, and no one can make her mind.

The poor queen of Aceh didn't know that she had been regarded as a tribute trophy and was about to be transported to the capital.

However, she found that the soldiers who were going to execute her put away their muskets, and some soldiers loosened the hemp ropes that bound her hands.

"Don't let her die, maybe she can bring rewards to our No.12 Corps." Huang Degong asked four soldiers to supervise Queen Alan together.

After defeating the army of Aceh, Huang Degong dispatched a small team to get in touch with the drilling team that went deep into the jungle.

The drilling team has successfully drilled an oil well, and the oil well is producing oil smoothly.Petroleum experts are now studying the local geology, oil quality, well density, and planning pipeline routes.

There is still a distance between the oil field and the harbor. They need to build a [-]-mile-long pipeline to transport the oil from the oil field to the refinery by the river, and then transport the crude oil and petroleum products back to the mainland by sea.

It will take at least half a year to establish a system for oil development and refining from scratch here, and to be able to export kerosene and other products to the outside world.

During the period, twenty miles of pipelines will be maintained to prevent the local indigenous people from destroying the oil pipelines.

After leaving 400 people in charge of affairs here, Huang Degong and others left here with the main force.

In addition to leaving a mixed force of 400 standing soldiers and mercenaries, they also deployed several artillery pieces near the bastion and oil fields to prevent the local indigenous forces near Medan from counterattacking.

"Although I don't understand why the military department attaches so much importance to combustible things like oil, we have successfully completed the mission of the military department. I hope that the bastion and the oil refinery have been successfully completed before the next visit." Before boarding the ship, Huang Degong once again Glancing at the bastion that was far from being completed.

The Queen of Aceh was shamefully put on a ship, and she became a prisoner of the Kyushu Army and also a spoil of war.

Without the king and queen of Aceh, various tribes ruled under the leadership of the nobles.The once powerful Sultanate of Aceh survived in name only.The large island of Sumatra contains a large amount of oil. The oil field exploited by the Kyushu Army in Pangkalan Susu is actually not a large oil field, and the by-products of its extraction are mostly kerosene.

However, this oil field can already meet part of the Kyushu Army's demand for oil, and it can also accumulate oil mining and refining technology through practice.

The oil refinery in Pangkalan Susu only fractionates the oil, and after transporting it back to the mainland, it will undergo secondary processing, and the fractionated petroleum products will be processed and used to produce industrial products such as petroleum asphalt, plastics, clothes, and fertilizers .After one oil field is exploited, the following oil fields will appear one after another.

Many officers and soldiers who participated in this battle did not know what it meant. They were more concerned about the joy of victory and the surprise to the Queen of Aceh.
