Jia Cong's words made Water Monkey feel a little ashamed. He also knew that regarding today's events, his North Sea Fleet had seriously neglected its duty.
It is their mission and responsibility to protect the surrounding sea areas. It is unjustifiable to let a group of Japanese pirates sneak up on the doorstep of your home.
He was in charge of the most powerful fleet, and yet something like this happened. This was simply a slap in the face.
Today's situation is probably because someone was lazy again while patrolling. It seems that it is time to rectify the situation. Many people in the North Sea Fleet are already a little inflated and arrogant. If they are allowed to continue, it will not be a good thing for anyone.
Water Monkey cupped his hands and said, "I acknowledge my guilt. This matter is all my responsibility. I am willing to be punished by you." Jia Cong nodded, and his attitude of admitting his mistake was quite good.
I am not afraid that you will make a mistake, but I am afraid that if you make a mistake and still refuse to admit it, then you are really hopeless. Today's navy is indeed very powerful when it comes to violent attacks. Most of the navy are pirates, and every one of them is brave and not afraid of death. They are indeed a group of strong soldiers who are not afraid of any battle.
But these people also have one of the biggest problems, that is, they are disobedient to discipline and treat military discipline as child's play.
Regarding this, Jia Cong had no good solution. He could only slowly train new people and slowly replace these people.
Or start a war and consume all these people. These people are all good at fighting tough battles, and Jia Cong can't bear to take action, so let's wait and see.
"It's rare for you to realize your mistake. Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. If you know where the problem lies, you must deal with it properly so that the same thing doesn't happen again. I'll write this down for now and won't do anything about it. I've been punished, but I just hope it won't happen again." Water Monkey said: "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I will definitely keep it in mind and rectify the navy. Please rest assured, sir, that such a thing will never happen again." Jia Cong said: "The members of your navy are relatively complex, so we should focus more on education. In addition, we should put more effort into patrolling the sea area." The water monkeys received the message together: "Yes, sir, I have taken note of it. "At this time, Zhang Dakui came over and stepped forward to salute.
"Lord Qi, all the Japanese pirates who invaded Jeju Island have been killed, and no one has escaped." Jia Cong nodded and said: "In that case, arrange for people to clean the battlefield and count the number of casualties and achievements. In addition, After this matter is dealt with, we will hold a post-war summary meeting in the afternoon."
"Yes, I obey." Zhang Dakui and Water Monkey agreed in unison, then turned around and went down.
An hour later, Zhang Dakui and Water Monkey came to report together. Zhang Dakui cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to your lord, in this battle, more than 8,700 Japanese pirates were killed, with only one prisoner. We injured more than a hundred people in total. In addition, most of the Japanese pirates' ships were destroyed by us. They were destroyed by artillery fire, and only a dozen ships were still intact. This battle can be regarded as a great victory." This is not wrong, and it is not an exaggeration to say it was a complete victory.
Jia Cong pondered for a moment and then said: "Record all the battle merits and distribute the rewards later. The old rule is, one head and ten taels of silver, the injured should be properly settled, and the pensions for those who died in the battle should also be paid. Distribute it as soon as possible." Zhang Dakui said: "Don't worry, sir, this is not the first time this kind of thing has been done, and my subordinates will definitely handle it properly." Jia Cong looked at Water Monkey again and said: "The reward from your navy, We should also follow this method. Since we belong to the same force, we should follow the same standard." Water Monkey said: "Yes, I will obey the order." He explained again and handed over all subsequent matters on the battlefield to Zhang Dakui and water monkeys.
Jia Cong left this place with his own soldiers and returned to Jeju City. I was originally worried that these Japanese pirates would attack Jeju City from east to west, but it seemed that I thought highly of them.
These Japanese pirates are just organized desperadoes, a group of pirates who only know how to burn, kill, and plunder, and are not worth mentioning at all.
When he came to the city gate, he told Wangcai and returned to the palace. Seeing Jia Cong coming back, the girls quickly gathered around him.
However, when they saw that his originally dark armor had now turned blood red, and at the same time, streams of bloody smell emanated from his body, everyone felt a little uncomfortable and stopped involuntarily.
I couldn't help but secretly smack my tongue in my heart. It seemed that this man had gone to the battlefield himself. I don’t know how many people were killed to get to this point.
Lin Daiyu came to Jia Cong, resisting the discomfort in her heart, looked at Jia Cong up and down, and said with concern: "Brother Cong, you are not injured, are you? Have everything been resolved?" Jia Cong saw everyone The expression on his face made him understand in his heart.
But this is good, let them know the cruelty of war, understand the meaning of war, and know that good days are hard-won.
This is also a kind of insight and growth for them. Faced with Lin Daiyu's worries, Jia Cong smiled and said: "Don't worry, Sister Lin, my brother is not injured. This blood belongs to the enemies. They were all killed by them. The invading Japanese pirates that were splashed on him have all been killed." , you don’t have to worry anymore. You must not be used to me looking like this, and you may even be afraid of me. I will take a bath first, change my clothes, and talk to you later." Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "Brother Cong, you Go quickly, my sisters are not used to you looking like this, let alone them." Shi Xiangyun said: "I'm not afraid, the third brother won't do anything to me, it's just the bloody smell on your body, It's too strong and makes people feel a little sick to their stomachs when they smell it." Jia Cong smiled. He had just killed someone and his body was very evil. It was normal for these little girls to be scared when they saw him.
Returning to his main hall, Yuanyang and others prepared bath water. Jia Cong took off all his clothes and armor, and walked into the bathtub naked. Under the service of Yuanyang, Xiren, and Xiangling, he felt comfortable. took a warm bath.
After washing three times in a row, the bloody smell on his body disappeared. Then, with the help of several people, he changed into clothes.
The armor and clothes that were taken off were also taken out and cleaned by the servants. When I came to the front hall, I saw that all the girls had been waiting here. Qingwen and the others had also washed up and came to the front hall first.
When Xichun saw Jia Cong, she ran forward and sniffed Jia Cong. When she saw that the smell of blood was gone, she hugged his arm and grinned.
"Brother doesn't have that annoying smell anymore. He is still the same brother as before." Jia Cong was speechless when he heard this. He rubbed her little head and said, "Could it mean that if my brother smells bad, he is not your brother? Xichun said with a smile: "Youwei is also my brother, but he looks a bit bluffing. I like my current brother better." Jia Cong sighed after hearing this, they are all a group of visual animals.
Xue Baochai said: "Brother Cong, please tell us quickly, what is going on, how could someone come to attack us?" Tan Chun also said: "Yes, third brother, who came to attack us? "Shi Xiangyun said: "Third brother, tell us quickly, everyone is very curious." Facing the numerous inquiries from everyone, Jia Cong couldn't get a word in for a while. .
When the crowd gradually calmed down, Jia Cong had the chance to speak. After organizing the language a little, I explained the big topic of the matter.
Everyone was shocked when they heard that they were attacked by Japanese pirates. Japanese pirates and others still knew that they were very harmful to the southeast coast, and even the court had no good solution.
Shi Xiangyun said: "Third brother, I heard that the Japanese pirates are very powerful and that the officers and soldiers along the coast are no match. Is it true?" Lin Daiyu also said: "Brother Cong, why did the Japanese pirates come to attack Jeju Island?" Jia Cong looked at it. Everyone glanced and said: "Japanese pirates make a living by looting. The closest to Jeju Island is Japanese Island. It is normal for them to come to Jeju Island to rob. The reason why the officers and soldiers can't do anything to them is because the officers and soldiers are not their opponents. Secondly, the officers and soldiers are not their opponents. One is that there are many people along the coast who are acting as spies for them." Yingchun said: "Brother Cong, have you beaten away all those Japanese pirates?" Jia Cong smiled and said, "Since they dare to attack us, how could I? Let them run away? Except for one person left alive, all the other 8,700 people have been killed, and no one has escaped." Everyone was startled when they heard this, and looked at Jia Cong with even more eyes. Awe.
There were more than 8,000 people, and they were all killed at will. Moreover, they were Japanese pirates that most people talked about with disgrace.
He is indeed a general who has been victorious in every battle, and he truly deserves his reputation. Lin Daiyu said with a resentful look: "Brother Cong, you don't let me practice my skills at such a good opportunity. It's really too much." Jia Cong laughed and said: "Brother is also worried that you will make some mistakes. Besides, I didn't do anything at the time. Knowing the situation, I naturally can't let you take risks. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I will take you to experience it for yourself next time." Hearing what Jia Cong said, Lin Daiyu smiled again.
"Brother Cong, you must keep your word and don't fool me again. I will remember what you said today." Jia Cong said: "This is not a big deal. I'm afraid that when you see that scene, you will be too scared to move. If you use the knife, you will be hurt by others, which is not what I want to see."
"Hmph, I don't know how." Seeing Jia Cong looking down on her, Lin Daiyu snorted slightly, expressing her dissatisfaction.
Yingchun said: "Sister Lin, you should stay with us. The old lady has said that fighting is a man's business. You should not take risks. If something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret." Xue Baochai also said: "Yes, Sister Lin, swords and guns are blind on the battlefield. If there is any damage, the loss will outweigh the gain." Tan Chun and Shi Xiangyun also had the same idea as Lin Daiyu, so naturally they would not persuade her.
After hearing the conversation between several people, I also knew that my idea was unrealistic, so I slowly gave up the idea.
I can't even compare to Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu doesn't even have a chance to go, let alone myself? Although the third brother dotes on himself and others, he will not let himself take risks. In doing so, he is also protecting himself and others.
Once you understand this truth, you will no longer be entangled. Third brother has been very good to us, but we can't cause any more trouble for him.
Xichun said: "Brother, what do those Japanese pirates look like? I haven't seen them yet." Jia Cong said with a smile: "They look almost the same as us, but they are shorter and uglier than us. I also left one I can take you to see him alive." Xichun said with a smile: "Forget it, it's too ugly so I won't watch it, so as not to have nightmares at night." When everyone heard this, they all couldn't help but laugh.
Jia Cong looked at this clever sister and shook his head with a bitter smile. Ping'er asked with some worry: "Master, we are so close to the Japanese country, will those Japanese pirates come again?" After hearing this, the girls all looked at Jia Cong. This issue was also their biggest concern.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Don't worry, you all. The Japanese pirates are also human beings, and they are bullies and shy of the strong. Although they are the closest to us, we are still a hard bone that cannot be chewed. Rather than chewing on us and chipping our teeth, it is better to Go and bully weak persimmons. Even if they forget to eat and not to fight, and they come to provoke us again, there will only be one result, that is, there will be no return." Hearing what Jia Cong said, everyone felt relieved.
Next, I spent the whole morning with everyone, answering some of their questions, chatting and laughing, and it was lunch time.
After lunch, Jia Cong left the palace and went to the Yizheng Hall. Wangcai, Zhang Dakui, and Water Monkey had already arrived. When they saw Jia Cong coming, they quickly stood up to greet him.
"Subordinate, I'd like to pay my respects to you, sir." Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "Okay, everyone, please sit down. Have all the follow-up work been handled properly?" Zhang Dakui said, "Replying to your Excellency, everything has been handled and the credit book has been registered. , just distribute the rewards according to the list, and the injured people have been properly accommodated." Jia Cong nodded and said: "You must give priority to the compensation for the fallen personnel. For those who have family members, try to distribute it directly to their family members. Wang Cai, you should also participate on behalf of Jeju Island." Wangcai cupped his hands and said: "Yes, sir, I know." Jia Cong added: "This Japanese pirate attack has also tested the defense strength of our island. , Generally speaking, it is quite passable, and everyone's response is relatively fast, which is worthy of praise. However, there are still some shortcomings. First, the naval force did not discover the enemy in advance and provide early warning. This is a major mistake. , I hope I can learn from it in the future. Secondly, the biggest advantage of the cavalry is that it is flexible and has strong impact. It can be used to rush into the formation, fight with it, and contain the enemy, but it cannot fall into the enemy's formation, otherwise the cavalry will be lost. We have the advantage." Zhang Dakui and Water Monkey said in unison: "I will remember your teachings, and I will never make the same mistake again." Just stop this kind of thing. We are all old people, so we naturally understand what to do. Do.
Although Water Monkey was trained by himself, he was born in Yeluzi when it comes to water battles. He has never experienced a real war. He has always relied on the strength of his ship and cannons to bully other pirates.
Regarding tactics and command, they have always been weak, and we can only slowly explore and improve in the future. Zhang Dakui is a veteran, but he is only a veteran. After following Jia Cong, he focused on training soldiers and never commanded a battle alone. It is normal to make some mistakes, and he also needs to make progress slowly.
However, overall, it's still good.
