When Sun Tzu Yi became a teacher, Su Yonglin personally went to pick him up.
Su Yonglin greeted Sun Ziyi and the naval forces returning from the victory at the harbor and congratulated them personally.
The next step was to witness with one's own eyes the results of the battle they brought back, the huge amounts of wood, iron, grain, and most importantly, the thousands of craftsmen of all types.
The results of this raid were so rich that Su Yonglin didn't react for a while. After he reacted, he realized that he had made a fortune and was so happy that he couldn't control himself and held Sun Ziyi's hand tightly. Praise him.
Sun Tzu Yi was indeed very happy. He had made contributions to Su Yonglin and finally, at this moment, he had a firm foothold in the Su family army and had his own position and right to speak.
From now on, his situation will no longer be embarrassing, and people will no longer look at him strangely, making it difficult for him to behave.
This made him feel very relaxed.
But at the same time he was in pain.
Because he personally ordered the burning of huge amounts of supplies.
"Yuting, you really can't imagine how much supplies are piled there. I even wonder if the Jin people have moved all their treasury here. There are too many. I only have more than 300 ships, and I have to bring them with me. When people come back, they really can’t move everything, so they can only... they can only burn..."
As he spoke, Sun Ziyi put on a mask of pain, with an expression of pain and self-blame.
This is not Versailles, this is Sun Tzu Yi's true feelings, he really feels pain.
Because only when you see how rich others are and how poor you are, you will feel the pain of not being able to take those things away with you.
Su Yonglin felt that if he and Sun Ziyi exchanged identities and put himself in that position, he would feel heartbroken and couldn't sleep well for several nights.
In fact, it is just too poor.
Compared with Wan Yanliang, Su Yonglin felt like a beggar.
After trying his best, he only managed to get more than a hundred ships, but Wan Yanliang waved his hand easily, and more than five hundred ships were already in place. If time goes on, he can even get hundreds more ships and a super powerful army. "The Armada".
What is an empire?
What is cruel exploitation?
What does it mean to be wealthy?
That's it.
After finally appeasing Sun Ziyi, Su Yonglin ordered the officials who followed him to properly handle the results brought back by the navy, and then reviewed the battle with the generals who participated in the battle.
There are almost 30,000 people in the entire Jin Army camp. Counting craftsmen, officials, soldiers and civilians together, there may be more than 30,000 people.
Among them, craftsmen and civilians accounted for the vast majority, and officials and soldiers were a small part.
Sun Tzu Yi did not have time to count the results of this raid, but according to him, the bodies of the dead Jin soldiers in the water camp were floating everywhere on the water, and the dead people in the land camp were everywhere. It's the dead and the seriously injured.
The five hundred cavalry prevented some people from escaping, but they could not stop more people from fleeing. They could only do their best to intercept them, so there were probably many people who escaped.
In the end, Sun Tzu Yi's troops only captured more than 6,000 people, which was considered a disadvantage due to the small number of people.
Only more than 3,000 people were brought back here, and the rest were either let go or killed.
So a rough estimate is that this raid probably killed at least 5,000 people in the naval camp of the Jin Kingdom.
Among the remaining people, the craftsmen and civilians who were forcibly recruited must have taken advantage of the chaos to escape and could not return to the establishment. The only ones who could go back were officials and defeated soldiers.
The clothes of these people are obviously different. They were targeted and killed. It's hard to say how many of them will be left.
Coupled with the burned supplies and ships, Wan Yanliang didn't have any pants left in this round of losses.
Loss of blood.
Su Yonglin not only received a large amount of materials and craftsmen, but also directly more than doubled the size of the warships. The navy could immediately complete the reorganization of 10,000 men, and there were still excess ships that could be used for training and patrolling. and supplies.
At this scale, if you train more and compete directly with the Southern Song Navy, you won't feel guilty, and there is still hope of victory.
Wan Yanliang really became the captain of the transportation brigade this time.
At this time, Su Yonglin had no free time at all, and neither did the entire Food and Rating Department and the Ordnance Department, which was responsible for manufacturing and maintaining armaments. They had to use all their energy to properly digest this wave of generous seizures.
Those who should be returned to their proper places should be allocated directly, and those who should be directly allocated should be allocated directly. The most critical thing is the handling of people. The resettlement and comfort of more than 3,000 craftsmen is also an urgent issue.
Arrange them into different positions according to different technical categories, immediately start the repair and construction work of the navy, and continue to expand the scale of the navy so that they can better fight the autumn wind along the coast in the future.
In addition, a large number of blacksmiths were dispatched to the Ordnance Department by Su Yonglin, and were handed over to the Ordnance Department to expand the scale of iron smelting and create more weapons for war reserves.
In short, in various senses, this water battle brought great help to Su Yonglin, and correspondingly, the blow to Wan Yanliang was definitely not small.
Indeed, this blow was not small for Wan Yanliang. In terms of the total amount, of course, it can only be described as "not small", but from the reality, it can only be described as "huge".
There was no other reason. Wan Yanliang had made the stall too big and wanted to do too many things.
Kaifeng expansion.
Counterinsurgency in the Northeast.
The battle of the six states defense line.
Mass mobilization and dispatch.
Coupled with naval construction.
There was so much he wanted to do.
It is not that the imperial dynasty does not have daily affairs to deal with. Even if it is necessary to maintain daily operations, it basically requires the vigorous operation of the entire imperial court.
In order to save money, the number of imperial officials is often not large. Once a large-scale war occurs, these officials need to work continuously.
This kind of large-scale deployment of manpower and material resources was generally done twice at the same time, so that the court was almost at full capacity. The courtiers would write to the emperor to be careful and beware of provoking a civil unrest.
If the emperor is stubborn and doesn't believe it, and insists on doing three things at the same time, then he must be prepared to do the fourth thing - counterinsurgency.
And Wan Yanliang, a heroic figure, actually ignored everything and opened it five times!
While fighting on two fronts, we also need to carry out large-scale construction projects, build naval forces, and mobilize the whole country.
He has too many things to do, allocates too many materials, uses his national strength to the extreme, and is overloaded to hold on until now.
But now, the naval force that had been built for several months and was almost ready to take shape was taken away by a wave of sneak attacks and completely lost. Months of work and huge financial expenditures were wasted, which brought almost a huge loss to the Jin Kingdom's finances. A fatal blow.
Of course, this was a huge blow to Wan Yanliang.
Wan Yanliang did two things immediately after learning about this incident.
The first is to instruct relevant departments to count losses, gather broken personnel, and clean up the mess.
The second is to dispatch troops to rebuild coastal camps and prepare to build military defense lines in coastal areas.
He knew that the losses were heavy, but now he discovered that he had ignored the coastal defense.
The coastal area of Daxing Prefecture is less than a day's journey from Zhongdu. The cavalry attacks day and night, and it takes less than a day to arrive, directly threatening his life.
Damn it!
After receiving the order, the relevant personnel rushed to the coastal areas to inspect the damage.
After arriving at their destination, what they saw shocked them so much that when the Minister of Tobe who was responsible for counting the losses went back to report, he was trembling all over, fearing that he would be killed by the emperor in anger.
The losses were too heavy, too heavy.
The entire water camp was destroyed, and all the ships were either towed away by the Liberation Army navy or burned to the ground. Not a single intact ship could be seen.
Bodies were strewn all over the place, and when they arrived, the flames of burning supplies were still burning and showed no signs of stopping.
All personnel were also lost. Soldiers, officials, craftsmen, and civilians all died. Soldiers and officials suffered particularly high losses.
Su Baoheng, minister of the Ministry of Industry, was trampled to death and his body was badly mutilated.
Capital Water Supervisor Xu Wen was found dead with a broken arm. He probably died of excessive blood loss.
Two senior figures in the water camp were dead, so Wan Yanliang couldn't find anyone to hold him accountable. He had nowhere to vent his anger, so he simply sent a battalion commander from the army who had fled back to report the news. Behead him to vent his anger.
