Chapter 101: Great Victory [Today’s Big Mac Set Meal! 】
Abesaburo left peacefully because...
The one who cut him was a novice.
He had already lost a lot of blood, so he had been stabbed more than a dozen times and hit an artery again.
Send him away immediately.
It's a bargain.
But thinking of what he said before his death, Feng Yibo's heart was filled with a haze.
Lingering.
Abesaburo's meaning is obvious.
This leaked information betrayed them and colluded with the Japanese pirates.
It must be positioned with high weight.
At least for him, it should be untouchable.
Think again of what Da Qiao Wulang said before he died.
this person……
Or the identity of this group of people.
It's about to come out.
Jiangnan Zhen family!
I thought that there might be such a giant creature colluding with Japanese pirates.
Feng Yibo felt tired.
Not to mention him, even the emperor wanted to touch the Zhen family.
Even if you are afraid, think carefully.
The Zhen family is intertwined and involves too many things.
Besides.
There is another important reason.
This is also the reason why the Zhen family is so rampant that no one dares to offend them.
She was the old concubine in the palace who was from the Zhen family.
Other concubines are concubines.
She is the only one who has to add the word "老" to everyone to show respect.
That's because of this old lady.
She is the biological mother of the current emperor, Emperor Jingshun!
Although Emperor Jingshun had been raised by his aunt's mother since he was a child, the status of his biological mother was still there.
If the Emperor and the Queen Mother were not still there, this old concubine would have been promoted to the Queen Mother long ago.
The fighting is still happening sporadically and will not end for a while.
Feng Yibo had made a sneak attack on Saburo Abe before and was highly nervous.
Now, coupled with the Zhen family's affairs, I suddenly feel exhausted.
The soldiers helped him find a wooden house with two survivors at the port.
He just lay there with his clothes on and squinted for a while.
When he woke up, it was bright.
The battle is basically over.
The New Army had some people on duty, and most of the rest were resting.
Liu Zhao stayed up all night, but looked at him without any signs of fatigue.
As soon as he saw Feng Yibo coming out, he immediately stepped forward and shouted excitedly.
"Good brother! What a great victory! What a great victory!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down and don't disturb their rest."
Liu Zhao was stunned by these words and then said:
"They are so tired that unless they shout an enemy attack, they may not be able to wake up even by beating gongs and drums."
"Yawn~!"
Feng Yibo yawned and rubbed his eyes.
He stretched again, stretched his limbs, and then asked:
"How's the battle damage?"
Liu Zhao was stunned again when he heard this, feeling that he couldn't keep up with Feng Yibo's rhythm.
He only asked about the results of the battle, but he really didn't pay attention to the battle losses.
Fortunately, Gouzi came over at this time and said with a depressed face when he heard this:
"More than 20 of our brothers from the New Army died, and more than 100 were injured."
After hearing the news, Feng Yibo suddenly looked sad and said
"I have pity for those brothers who sacrificed their lives. I must give them enough compensation when I go back!"
This made Liu Zhao somewhat incomprehensible.
"Brother, this battle damage is nothing!"
He licked his dry lips and frowned:
"No matter who knows, I still want to say Buddha's blessing. Why do you still look like this?"
"well!"
Feng Yibo glanced at Liu Zhao in surprise, sighed softly and said:
"If there were only Japanese pirates on Big Nose Island, the new army would hardly suffer any losses."
He glanced at the New Army soldiers lying down and upright.
All of them were smoky and tired, lying on the ground and falling asleep.
He couldn't help but sigh again, and said with a sad face:
"Alas! We made a major mistake in our news! As a result, we were ambushed by several times the enemy!"
"Brothers from the New Army resisted to the death, but still suffered more than a hundred casualties."
Speaking of this, he looked at Liu Zhao and asked:
"How can you make me happy?"
"Ah this..."
Liu Zhao was speechless.
Only then did he remember Feng Yibo's two previous battles with Japanese pirates.
Battle losses were almost zero.
Now that more than 20 people have died, does it make sense for Feng Yibo to be depressed?
But he then thought again and said:
"That's not right, brother Xian! You can't calculate like that!"
He tapped his fingers on his palms and said:
"Before, we used more to defeat fewer, but this time the Japanese pirates were several times larger than us, and they were wiped out by us. This is a great victory!"
Feng Yibo glanced sideways at him and said:
"It doesn't matter if the Japanese pirates die more or less, but my soldiers are all sons and daughters, so I would be heartbroken if even one of them dies!"
There were soldiers on duty around him, and he felt inexplicable admiration when he heard this.
They all feel that meeting such a commander is a blessing gained in their previous life.
Not only did he lead them to victory, but he also cared about their injuries.
Those with sensibility may even feel that even dying in battle is worth it.
Liu Zhao saw this and was silent for a moment.
He didn't know whether Feng Yibo was imitating Uncle Liu Huang or whether he was sincere.
But no matter what, he also understood the gap between himself and others.
It’s strange that the new army’s military spirit is unified!
If this kind of drama happens a few more times, I'm afraid everyone will die.
He wondered whether he should just cry.
The New Army maintained a mandarin duck formation at all times to ensure its own safety.
The matter of burning and seizing the ships was left to the navy.
Although most of them just set fires and seized ships, they were also counterattacked by Japanese pirates.
Dozens died and hundreds were injured.
Feng Yibo didn't know what Liu Zhao thought of him, and he didn't want to know.
He felt for a moment and then asked Gouzi:
"How's the harvest? Tell me."
This battle, no matter from any aspect, can indeed be called a great victory.
Gouzi felt excited when he thought of this, and then said:
"It's just preliminary statistics now, and we have to go back and calculate the details slowly."
He laid an ambush first, after all, there was still an outsider like Liu Zhao.
"In terms of ships, twenty-eight Japanese pirate ships were burned, leaving eleven intact Zhuyin ships."
Strictly speaking, this should be regarded as a trophy of the navy.
Gouzi glanced at Liu Zhao.
Seeing that he didn't have any trouble, he continued:
"The total number of Japanese pirates annihilated was about 7,000, of which more than 3,000 were directly annihilated."
When they were besieged, only more than a thousand were actually killed.
Then the Japanese pirates began to flee.
The subsequent pursuit and search of the island were the big part.
"During the pursuit, about two thousand people were driven into the sea and drowned."
The navy is still salvaging it now, and it doesn't matter whether it's alive or dead when it's fished out.
Cut off the head directly.
Therefore, it can be regarded as drowning.
"It is impossible to count the number of people burned to death in the wildfires, and it is estimated that there are more than a thousand."
Although the fire was almost extinguished, there was still residual heat and heat.
There is no way to go in and search.
Of course, all the people I found were acquaintances.
If the head is cut off, it is still unclear whether the Ministry of War will recognize it or not.
"About twenty ships escaped, but most of them were not full, about less than 2,000 people."
Half of the Japanese pirates here are the ones who saw the opportunity first, and the leader is my grandson's lost dog.
They only lost some of their men during the siege.
The rest ran away.
The remaining half are the fast ones.
"More than a thousand Japanese pirates surrendered directly and were trapped in the open space next to the port."
This was because he failed to seize the ship, so he ran to the mountains.
Then when they saw the fire, two groups of Japanese pirates came down.
Those who entered the mountain first were burned to death, so they were lucky.
"In addition, more than 400 people from the Wei Dynasty who were taken captive were rescued on the island."
"Most of them are young women. The Japanese pirates successively brought them from Taizhou, Wenzhou and other places for the lustful pleasure of these beasts."
Having said this, Gouzi paused for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying:
"According to one of the women who came earlier, the Japanese pirates successively kidnapped more than a thousand women."
"Except for the less than four hundred left now, the rest... alas!"
As if he couldn't bear to speak, Gouzi sighed first and then said:
"Or he couldn't bear the humiliation and looked for an opportunity to commit suicide."
"Or they were raped to death by Japanese pirates and thrown directly into the sea to feed the fish."
Everyone present was indignant at such an appalling thing.
Feng Yibo also became angry. He pondered for a moment and then said:
"Execute those more than a thousand prisoners on the spot and throw their bodies into the sea to feed the fish!"
It just so happened that he was still worried about having too many prisoners.
Not to mention the waste of food, the escort is also very troublesome.
It's better to just take the head and go back to report the merits to the Ministry of War.
At the same time, he also avenged a little bit of revenge for those women.
"good!"
Gouzi nodded vigorously when he heard this, showing a smile of relief.
He winked at the soldiers beside him.
The man nodded understandingly, and then went to organize the manpower.
Gouzi then continued:
"There are also more than fifty people who are craftsmen who build houses and ships."
Those who are skilled can arrange things easily wherever they go.
Feng Yibo nodded and prepared to go back to see if he could recruit.
If you have enough ships, you don't need to ask the navy for help in small-scale operations.
“In the end, it’s the possessions.”
Liu Zhao couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard about the wealth.
Although it had little to do with him, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Gouzi seemed to be aware of this. He glanced at him and said hesitantly:
"This has not yet been calculated in detail."
Feng Yibo saw all this and couldn't help but laugh.
He waved his hand and said directly:
"Let's talk about the general situation first."
Liu Zhaogang thought Feng Yibo and Gouzi had discussed it in advance.
This is the rhythm of hiding something private.
Now I feel a little ashamed, even a little ashamed of myself.
After all, Yibo Xiandi's mind is not comparable to his own.
"All right!"
Gouzi nodded reluctantly before continuing to report:
"In the Japanese pirate settlement, a large amount of food was found, about three to four thousand dan."
This was during the autumn harvest not long ago, and Japanese pirates were in Taizhou, Wenzhou and other places.
Came from many robberies.
At that time, Feng Yibo also received a request for help.
But by the time he took his people to Taizhou to support them, the Japanese pirates had already disappeared.
More than three thousand stones of grain were enough to feed a thousand people for a year.
"There are also some gold and silver belongings piled over there. There is no detailed statistics yet."
Gouzi pointed to a place not far away.
Gold, silver and jewelry were piled up like a small mountain.
Gouzi's preliminary estimate is that the value should be between two and three hundred thousand taels.
But he still held back and didn't say anything more in front of Liu Zhao.
And there are some antique calligraphy and paintings.
They were all found in the room of the Japanese pirate leader, Musashi Jiro.
It's a pity that there are only a few high-quality products, and the overall value is not very high.
At least it was much worse than that time with Da Qiao Wulang.
After all, Da Qiao Wulang had been wandering around for several months, traveling across the state and government.
Many wealthy families were wiped out.
The Japanese pirates on Big Nose Island did not dare to attack the state capital, and they always ran away after looting.
That's all, it should be accumulated over many years.
On the whole, it is average for every Japanese pirate.
Only two or three hundred taels.
In fact, half of them were collected from Jiro Musashi.
The average Japanese pirate has a net worth of a hundred taels at most.
After Gouzi finished his report, Liu Zhao was drooling while listening.
But he also knew that his contribution was not much and he could only wait for Feng Yibo's profit sharing.
"Okay, I understand, you go ahead and deal with these."
Feng Yibo nodded, already having a rough idea.
With this money, at least raising troops will not be a problem.
"Brother, we are going to make a big fortune this time!"
When Liu Zhao saw the dog gone, he stepped forward and praised again:
"There are nearly ten thousand Japanese pirates on this island, but our new army brothers have almost wiped them all out. This is comparable to those powerful armies that shocked the past and present!"
"oh?"
This was meant as a compliment, but it made Feng Yibo fall into deep thought.
Liu Zhao's words gave him a wake-up call.
Since ancient times, there have been very few people who can defeat the small with more.
Most of the victories are won by overwhelming force. That is the right way to fight.
But in the eyes of others.
With only 3,000 men, the New Army wiped out 10,000 men with almost no damage!
What is this concept?
Except for a few famous scenes in history books, such as the great magician.
I'm afraid not many people can match it, right?
Such a new army will inevitably be remembered, right?
Especially the haze in his heart.
Jiangnan Zhen family!
This new army is our foundation.
Should there be some backup plan?
Feng Yibo suddenly looked serious and said, "Brother, I have something to discuss with you."
"Brother Xian, tell me!"
Liu Zhao was still waiting for Fenrun to attack at this time, so he naturally responded to his requests.
Hearing this, he immediately slapped his chest.
"As long as I can do it as a brother, I will follow it!"
Feng Yibo took him to a deserted place and whispered:
"We brothers have nothing to hide from each other."
Liu Zhao was a little confused, but he still nodded.
"You also understand that someone must have betrayed us during this expedition."
Feng Yibo didn't say who it was, only that someone betrayed him.
Liu Zhao nodded again when he heard this.
They are surrounded by ten thousand people. What is this if not betrayal?
"So I have some future ideas that I want to discuss with you."
Speaking of this, Feng Yibo hesitated and asked:
"Can you trust your brothers?"
"Brother Xian, what does this mean?"
Liu Zhao frowned when he heard this and said with some dissatisfaction:
"Except for you, no one in Jiangnan is better than me."
After a pause, he emphasized:
"It's definitely not my brothers who betrayed me! They wouldn't be stupid enough to come here and die on their own!"
"No, no! Brother misunderstood me!"
Feng Yibo waved his hands repeatedly and said:
"Of course I'm not saying they betrayed me, I just want to make some arrangements. I hope my brother will let them go back and stop talking nonsense!"
"So that's what it meant!"
Liu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said:
"Don't worry, they still listen to what I say!"
After speaking, he hesitated and then said:
"Our navy is not deeply involved with others. I will give them enough rewards later, and I guarantee that I won't even say anything!"
This is a bit interesting, but it is exactly what Feng Yibo meant.
"Okay! I've got this reward!"
Feng Yibo immediately responded, and Liu Zhao was stunned when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, he just mentioned it casually and the other party agreed easily.
But Feng Yibo said again: "I will give you an extra 10%, and you can reward me however you want!"
Liu Zhao was overjoyed when he heard this and just wanted to express his gratitude and say a few polite words.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yibo changed the topic and said with a smile:
"But the eleven captured Zhuyin ships belong to me, and you can report the remaining one as captured."
When Liu Zhao heard this, he immediately calmed down and hesitated for a moment.
He was afraid that Feng Yibo would abandon him and stop playing with him in the future.
However, the Zhuyin Ship's speed is slow and its load is average.
Even if it were given to him, it wouldn't be able to sustain a war like today.
It is even possible to be killed by someone at sea in a naval battle.
He hasn't decided yet whether he should agree directly.
Unexpectedly, this was not the end, Feng Yibo took another step further and said:
"And give me ten of your lucky ships. Just report the damage directly to the superior."
This request was simply too much, but Feng Yibo said confidently:
"After all, in such a battle, losing ten ships is nothing!"
"this……"
Liu Zhao looked at Feng Yibo dumbfounded.
Is this going to kill the donkey?
If the Zhuyin Ship was given to Feng Yibo, he would only make a small fuss.
After all, the Zhuyin Ship's transport capacity is okay, but its speed is very slow.
But if he is given ten more blessing ships, he will basically have no need for himself in the future.
A navy ship can accommodate three to five hundred people.
The reason why we brought thirty-six ships this time.
Still consider escorting prisoners and transporting goods.
Otherwise, ten blessing ships and three thousand new troops could be accommodated.
Feng Yibo seemed to know what he was thinking, and said with a smile:
"Brother, don't worry. The credit you have gained this time may be enough for you to move up the ranks. By then, it's not certain who will get the Navy!"
"and……"
The two discussed secretly for a while, and Liu Zhao's expression flickered after hearing this.
I always feel like things are a bit dangerous and it's hard to make a decision for a while.
"Brother, I also have to save some means for the future."
Feng Yibo felt miserable when he saw this, and persuaded him:
"Don't worry, no matter whether you get promoted or not, or whether you change jobs this time, we will still be brothers from now on."
He pointed to the sky and imitated Liu Zhao's oath:
"I, Feng Yibo, swear to Tianmeng that if there is any good thing that can be done, I will never escape from you!"
"good!"
After hearing this, Liu Zhao finally made up his mind and said:
"Except for Qian Zong, most of the rest of the credit is given by you!"
After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "In the worst case, I'll give it back to you!"
"No! No!"
Feng Yibo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, rolled his eyes and said:
"I'm not doing anything treacherous!"
"Whether he is or not, I will risk my life once!"
After Liu Zhao figured it out, he no longer struggled and said after hearing the words:
"Why can't we do it when others can do it?"
He became cruel and suggested again:
"If you ask me, I'll give you twenty lucky ships and Zhuyin ships, and I'll report all of them and seize the arithmetic balls!"
Feng Yibo's eyes lit up when he heard this and said: "Brother, are you really willing to give up?"
"What's the reluctance to do? Maybe I'll be promoted when I get back!"
Liu Zhao patted his chest and said half-truthfully:
"When I become the Prime Minister in the future, don't forget to support me as a brother!"
"..."
In addition to the ship issue, the two talked secretly for a while.
It was now noon.
The new troops all recovered a lot of physical strength, and they buried pots and cooked rice in the area where the Japanese pirates gathered.
After eating, all the goods will be transported from the port to the big ship.
Feng Yibo looked at his twenty lucky ships and smiled with satisfaction.
After you return, you have to ask someone to deal with your belongings first.
When the time comes, give two ingredients to Liu Zhao, as promised.
For the time being, take some of it out and keep it to support your troops.
As for the battle rewards, just wait for the Ministry of War to calculate the rewards based on the head level.
The rest...
Of course, I would keep it for a wife!
There's nothing we can do about it.
Who allowed him to have two wives?
If I don’t save more money, I’m afraid I won’t be able to support it!
