Chapter 1465 Conquering the Empire (11)

"Is this impossible? I clearly saw dozens of people from the Qin family being carried away!" An officer shouted.

"They were only injured, and they were still alive. Even those with missing arms and legs are still alive!" an officer said in a very heavy and emphatic tone.

"What? Impossible! How could a man with no arms or legs survive on the battlefield? Before he could be rescued, he would bleed to death!" An officer shouted in a panic.

"It's a fact. All the seriously injured people in the Qin family really didn't die." Liu Ming said quietly.

The officers were all silent. They didn't know what this meant, did it mean that the physicians of the Qin family were highly capable?Or does it mean that the soldiers of the Qin family are different?What happened to the other soldiers was absolutely dead, but to the soldiers of the Qin family, they were just crippled?

Just when everyone was thinking wildly, dozens of carriages with Colonel Zhao Hu's name and flag on them rumbled to them.

An officer with the rank of Second Lieutenant jumped out of the carriage, saluted Liu Ming and said, "Master Chief of the Navy, this officer is from the Logistics Department. I have delivered the supplies to the Marine Corps beyond the order of my lord. Please send someone to count the supplies." A file was handed over.

Liu Ming and the officers were stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that Zhao Hu had started to buy people's hearts, but it also meant that Zhao Hu regarded himself as a member of the system and had to accept it whether he wanted to or not, so he was busy talking to that The second lieutenant was close.

As for the work of counting the materials, of course, they are familiar with the road and follow the list to start receiving one car at a time.After the inventory was completed, the officers who received the supplies were all in a daze for a while. The amount of supplies they received actually matched the list?
Since I joined the army, I have never heard of which unit's supplies will not be embezzled by people under the pretext of being lost on the road.

Even the Imperial Guards of the emperor were still lost two floors when they received supplies, and the highest record for local troops was an appalling eight floors!

Now it's actually a real allocation of supplies?No consumption at all? !How could there be such... Uh, I am such an idiot, the system I am in now is not the Imperial Army, but the Qin family!

It should be the Qin family's system to allocate materials in real terms, and I don't need to make any fuss.

Thinking of this, the officer receiving the supplies reported to Liu Ming who was still chatting with the second lieutenant: "Sir, I received 3000, [-] sets of armor, helmets, military uniforms, [-] spears, [-] machetes, and [-] masks. Bucklers, seven hundred strong bows, two thousand bowstrings, and one thousand bundles of iron arrows."

Liu Ming, who was looking at the list blankly at the beginning, became more and more surprised as the officers reported the information. As a rear admiral who was suppressed, of course he knew what the materials that met the list represented, but he vaguely knew Zhao Hu's net worth How rich he recovered quickly.

Seeing the expressions of Liu Ming and others, the second lieutenant nodded, took out a document and said, "Master Chief of the Navy, if the supplies are correct, please sign here."

After signing, Liu Ming sighed and said, "Oh, I have to say, we have really trusted an amazing boss."

The officers nodded in agreement with different expressions.

Seeing that the battlefield was also cleaned up in a mess, Zhou Wen asked: "Sir, shall we go back next, or take advantage of the victory and directly attack the Lu family's territory? They only have more than 2 troops now, so they are definitely not our opponents, and We still have an integrated brigade that can be used, and we can definitely take them down in one go."

Zhao Hu shook his head and said: "We drifted from the sea for more than ten days, and then we faced the enemy's invasion as soon as we arrived. After a high-intensity battle, the soldiers' physical strength and spirit have reached their limit.

The corpses on the battlefield had already been buried, and the seriously injured captives were carried by other captives on simple stretchers. Under the guard of Zhao Hubing, they began to walk slowly towards the third fleet base.

The team began to move forward, and the wounded soldiers relaxed after a long time of tension, their whole body softened, and the groans they had suppressed for a long time also came out.The captives were not surprised by this. Instead, their faces were relaxed, and their steps were much faster.

The apprehensive captives all settled down when they saw that the wounded soldiers had not been dealt with, because according to the usual practice, for the seriously injured captives, the victor would kill them to avoid trouble.

I didn't expect that the victors this time would not add knives, but would rescue the seriously injured prisoners. From this point of view, life should be easy in the future. Look at the clothes of these victors, and you can know how well they are treated. how high.

Well, I am really looking forward to the day when these victors will be recruited as soldiers.

Liu Ming, who was following Zhao Hu again, couldn't help but fawningly said after seeing this scene: "My lord is really kind, even the captives are willing to serve you!"

Before Zhao Hu could speak, Zhou Wen looked at the captives with contempt and said, "Efficacy? They don't have the qualifications yet. We treat them because we want to train our physicians, and because we don't want to waste these strong men." slave."

Hearing the previous sentence, Liu Ming nodded in agreement.

It's normal that they don't have the qualifications now. The combat ability of these Lu soldiers is not as good as that of the half-baked marines. Why should they be a member of Zhao Hu's army?
Hearing the middle sentence, Liu Ming was taken aback, to train the doctor's ability?Taking captured seriously wounded soldiers as training objects?It can be used to promote your benevolent behavior, why do you have to say it so badly?Aren't you afraid to scare people to death?I really don't know what to think.

After hearing the last sentence, Liu Ming was dumbfounded, right?Actually captured these captives as slaves? !Although many poor people who are attached to the powerful are actually no different from slaves, why are they still free people on the surface, and now they degrade the captives into slaves openly?It's too crazy, right?Even if the authority of the empire is gone, there is no need to flout the laws of the empire so much, right?

Seeing Liu Ming opened his mouth to say something, Zhao Hu smiled and said, "Actually, this slave is just a status, it is used to distinguish retainers, warriors and commoners, and will not really use these captives as slaves."

Liu Ming was taken aback when he heard the words, but he quickly understood that this was for the Qin family's retainers to see. After all, the Qin family's retainers were all brought out from the barbaric southeast peninsula, and they absolutely did not want to be captured by their own army. , The status is actually sitting with the people under the rule, and it should be definitely lower than the people under the rule, so that everyone feels comfortable.

Seeing Liu Ming's relieved expression, Zhou Wen snorted and sneered in his heart: "Look, the horse's feet are showing! When I first heard that the captives were going to be slaves, I was immediately very nervous. I immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Doesn’t this mean that you still have a heart for the empire? How dare you speak so nicely in front of people! Hmph! See how I made the slave status of the captives come true, making you want to cry without tears! "

Back at the base, Liu Ming saw that the captives were only restricted in their personal freedom, and the doctors began to treat the wounded. Finally, he was completely relieved. After handing over the command of the Marine Corps to Zhao Hu, he put all his attention on the fleet.

The Lu family sent a regiment of cavalry and three regiments of infantry to attack the Third Fleet base, but the entire army was wiped out within a day. As for how many soldiers escaped, no one knows. Anyway, dozens of soldiers who ran back to the Lu family foolishly, After being executed for disturbing the morale of the army, none of the survivors showed up again.

Although within the sphere of influence of the Lu family, especially in the army, due to the strict seal of the Lu family, there has not been much news, but the surrounding warlords have long been reminded by the governor, and they have implemented monitoring early in the morning. Now, as soon as they get the news, In addition to worrying that the Third Fleet will become stronger, it is more ambitious to annex the Lu family.

These warlords, no matter how big or small, are all gearing up. Hey, the standing force is down by a third. Of course, we should take this opportunity to test it out. Even if the Lu family can't be wiped out, it's good to take advantage of it.

The reason why the surrounding warlords all aimed at the Lu family, instead of the Third Fleet, which in the warlord's perception, should have lost troops and lost generals, was because the places occupied by the Third Fleet were all remote and desolate seasides, and there were no dignitaries. People want money but have no money.

And the Lu family, especially the place where they made their fortune, is a bustling area. If you have meat and don't eat it, you will eat rocks, that's what idiots do.

Of course, the Lu family noticed the intention of the warlords. The powerful figures in the family who had clamored to mobilize the army to destroy the Third Fleet for revenge immediately shut up, and immediately agreed with the patriarch to issue a call-up order for all men in the territory. Enter the army.

This move of the Lu family has stabbed a hornet's nest, and all the surrounding warlords have entered the state of full recruitment with curses.

Especially those small warlords are even more heartbroken. How much loss will the economy bring to all the male soldiers enlisting in the army, and how much money is needed to maintain such a large team!But it's impossible not to do this, who knows if the Lu family, whose strength has greatly increased, will take the opportunity to attack the Quartet!

All members of the Lu family were recruited, and because of the threat of a huge force, the surrounding warlords immediately followed suit, and for the same reason, other warlords around these surrounding warlords could only follow suit.In almost an instant, in the entire coastal province, except for the governor who had [-] elite soldiers, other warlords, large and small, were forced to recruit all their members helplessly.

The governor who got the news couldn't help laughing: "Haha, the Lu family has really stabbed a hornet's nest, I guess they can't go up or down now.

"If the recruitment of all members is lifted, I am afraid that the surrounding warlords will take advantage of the situation and attack immediately. If it is not lifted, it will cause huge damage to people's livelihood and increase huge financial expenditures."
