Chu Qing didn't know that he had unintentionally gained another wave of good popularity among the people.
The people are used to not being treated as human beings, especially the people in the East China Sea. If there is a war, it is normal for the people to be forced to become government soldiers and serve as cannon fodder.
In this naval battle, Tao Ruolin, Tao Weiran, Changxian, and Nangong Ping immediately asked the people to retreat, shouting and telling the people to stay as far away from the beach as possible, for fear of being affected.
Secondly, not only the common people did not suffer, but also the newly recruited Luo Yundao boat master. Most of the people on board were old men from Lake City.
But this is not Chu Qing's good intentions, but that he simply cannot trust Luo Yundao's boat master, even though these boat masters and sailors have undergone earth-shaking changes.
The people are always optimistic about their fate. Even if the war has just happened, even if it almost affects them, there are tents to keep out the cold, warm bonfires and stoves, endless fish, unlimited meat and pancakes, and most importantly, They saw the troops who were willing to protect them sincerely, and laughter and laughter were heard again in the camp.
The people of the East China Sea were accustomed to killings and wars. These things that should not appear in front of the people were no longer strange to them.
Chu Qing returned to the commander's tent. Half an hour later, the battle damage statistics were calculated.
"Tell the truth and report it." Chu Qing looked at his friends who looked defeated, and roughly guessed how heavy the losses were: "Let's talk about the ship first."
Chen Dinglan sighed and spoke first: "Luo Yundao's navy sank two warships, and I, Shang Yundao's warship, destroyed one."
Xiao Yi, who had just finished setting up the sentinel ship, said with a mournful face: "The ship to destroy the rebel king that Tao Qi gave me was destroyed. It was hit."
Tao Weiran said: "Two merchant ships that Mr. Mo converted into warships also sank."
Qin Qi and Chen Yan looked at each other, and the latter rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Just tell me."
"Senior brother," Qin Qi said anxiously, "My ship Zhuguo also sank, and more than twenty sentry ships were damaged."
Wang Tianyu glanced at Chu Qing's face and said cautiously: "Big pot, my little brother's boat..."
"Shut up!"
"oh."
Chu Qing was really too lazy to talk to Wang Tianyu.
His Baoyu ship did not sink at all, but disintegrated directly on the spot.
When this guy hit the Zhenhai, the sail itself was on fire and the hull was seriously damaged. The main reason was that he put all the boxes containing gunpowder crossbows on the bow. Chu Qing didn't dare to think about what would happen if Wang Tianyu's luck was slightly worse. On top of that, if even a tiny spark fell on the wooden box, Wang Tianyu would be considered strong if the corpse could be broken down into less than twenty pieces, let alone jump into the sea.
Chu Qing was mentally prepared, but when the cuttlefish opened his mouth, he was a little stunned.
"Including the Mohist Revenge, there are five warships with varying degrees of damage. They need to be repaired before they can sail and fight."
Chu Qing waved his hand: "You can figure it out yourself. There are many people now, including those prisoners of war. Repair the ship first."
"Cannot be fixed."
"Why?"
"No dock."
Chu Qing pinched his eyebrows and wanted to scold someone, but he didn't know who to scold.
This is why he always wanted to build shipyards and docks together.
The dock cannot build ships, but it can repair them.
According to historical records, the dock was actually invented by Zhang Ping during the Song Dynasty. However, the concept of "shipyard" actually existed as early as the Three Kingdoms period, but it was not called a dock.
The so-called dock can be filled with water so that ships can enter it. If the scale is large, ships can also be built after water is drained. They are generally divided into dry docks, flooded docks and floating docks. The first type is more commonly used.
Similar to a huge pit, it is built next to the water. The rise and fall of the water level is used to lift and lower the ship. When the tide is high, the ship is put into the "pit" surrounded on three sides. When the tide is low, the ship can be fixed on the piers. The cofferdams are then used to close the gaps so that the ship can be repaired.
It can be understood as a big pit, sealed on three sides. The unsealed entrance and exit are movable and can be sealed to fill or release water as needed. The biggest function is to repair the ship.
As if he was afraid that Chu Qing was not troublesome enough, Cuiyu concluded: "There are seven sunken ships and five need to be repaired, for a total of eleven warships."
Chu Qing squinted his eyes: "Why don't you count the sentry ship?"
"In total, there are thirty-nine ships."
Chu Qing: "..."
Cuttlefish shook his head: "There are only six warships left to go to sea, and the remaining few need to fish every day."
"Didn't you capture the enemy's warship?"
"They are all destroyed, but there is one big ship with a huge hull. If it can be improved..."
Chu Qing's eyes lit up: "Where is it?"
"Zhenhai, let you burn it."
Chu Qing yelled: "Do you think you are funny?"
Cuttlefish said nothing.
Originally, he had no complaints about Chu Qing's destruction of the Zhenhai. After all, it was the enemy's flagship. Who wouldn't be upset if he saw it? But now when he calculated the battle damage, it was sinking and destroyed, and there was no ship at all. It's usable. When I think about it again, I can't help but feel it's a pity.
This is just like a rich person. If you don't care about money, face is important. When you don't have money, face is nothing.
After Wang Tianyu directly attacked, only the bow of the boat was damaged. If it could be pulled back to the shore, it could be repaired without the need for a dock. Unfortunately, Chu Qing ordered it to be burned down. At that time, it was quite relieved. Now, It's quite disturbing.
Cuiyu didn't mean anything else. He just told Chu Qing in a not-so-subtle way that it's okay to pretend to be B. Take it easy next time. If you're not a family, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. Things like weapons and warships are all the responsibility of the Mo family. Chu Qing was relieved that it was the children of the Moh family who were doing the hard work.
The friends looked at each other, not wanting to continue talking. Apart from the warships, there were also casualties that were not reported, so they didn't dare to say anything for fear that Chu Qing would slap the table and curse.
Finally, Tao Ruolin spoke.
"Ninety-nine people from the Hunu tribe were injured, and thirty-one were killed in the battle. Thirty-one were killed in the battle. Nineteen veterans of the frontier army were injured, and four were killed in the battle. Wang Tianyu's men were wounded, three were injured, and one was killed in the battle. , Chen Shuai’s command, seven people were injured, none died in battle, they caught wolf soldiers, there were no casualties, other generals..."
Chu Qing's heart skipped a beat: "What happened to the generals?"
"The general who went to sea to fight is fine, but...it's just that the eldest brother is injured."
"Uncle?" Chu Qing's heart was raised: "Didn't he not get on the ship? How could he still be injured?"
"When the warning was issued, the eldest brother was settling the people on the shore. When he saw the warship sailing, he took a small boat to chase the Mohist Revenge. During the voyage, he was knocked over by Qiu Baoyu's warship and injured his arm. In addition, he was injured by a horse before. He has not recovered yet, but he is being treated by a doctor in the camp."
Xiao Yi immediately became angry and rolled up his sleeves: "Fuck him!"
Cuiyu took out the small crossbow from his sleeve and prepared to shoot Qiu Baoyu to death.
Nangong Pingcang drew out his sword with a roar and became angry.
There are a lot of angry people. Basically, friends who have been to the border must kill Qiu Baoyu.
Qiu Baoyu was so frightened that he didn't even know what was going on.
Fu San waved his hand: "I'll beat him after I finish talking."
Everyone then stopped, and even when Chu Qing was being fucked, none of them were so angry.
Chu Qing's head was full of questions: "Is he sick? Why are you chasing me in a boat?"
"He said he could bring good luck to everyone, so he caught up with him in a small boat."
Everyone couldn't laugh or cry, but they also showed admiration on their faces.
During the battle at sea, a broken boat rowed across. It was purely seeking death, but Tao Shaozhang wanted to catch up with the Mohist Revenge just to bring his "good luck" to everyone.
Chu Qing sighed deeply: "The casualties and injured should be treated as soon as possible. Brothers who died in the battle should be compensated according to the highest standards. Take good care of relatives, wives, children, and children. The boat master will take care of them. Let Lu Zhu and Ma Ying be responsible for the preliminary work. .”
After exhaling a breath of turbidity, Chu Qing said: "Squid stays here and everyone else goes about their business. Thank you for your hard work."
