Chapter 879: Recuperate
Mao Wenlong left Xiangjiang Island, and the Japanese and Yi people were already seriously injured and could no longer carry out sneak attacks. Both sides seem to have a tacit understanding to stop fighting, maybe this is only temporary, but it is also an inevitable consequence for both sides.
The Dongjiang Army did not have the ability to capture Okushima and Ryukyu Island, and the Japanese and Yi people had no way to fight the Ming Dynasty for the time being. In this way, a truce between the two sides became a fact for a moment.
In this decisive battle, it is difficult for both sides to win or lose, and the Japanese and Yi people suffered heavy losses, but at the same time they also made a lot of profits. Especially when they attacked the city of Guangzhou, their profits were more than enough to make up for their previous losses.
The casualties on Mao Wenlong's side were not large, but he lost a lot of supplies. Especially after the city of Guangzhou was sacked, there was no hope of recovery for a year and a half.
The most unlucky is Raymond, his subordinates were all wiped out, and they were betrayed and directly lost to Xiangjiang Island. originally obeyed Mao Wenlong's orders, and he could continue to enjoy the rest of his life. Now it has become the only victim of this decisive battle between the two sides!
After Aufu returned to Aodao, he was still indignant in his heart, and he was about to defeat the Dongjiang Army and control the entire Ming Sea from now on. But at the last moment, Mao Wenlong turned over and completely reversed the situation, resulting in a huge loss to Aof, and his heart was even more unbalanced at the moment.
No matter how unbalanced, you can only swallow it raw, there is no regret medicine in the world, only learn from failure, and then strengthen yourself to fight again. For this reason, as soon as Auf returned to Okushima, he began to recruit troops and build warships.
Use the materials obtained from the robbery of Guangzhou City to quickly replenish the previous losses, and strive to restore your strength to its peak as soon as possible.
Needless to say, Taro Shinno has the same mind as Auf, and is also rapidly expanding his power. What's more extreme is that in order to quickly replenish his strength, Taro Shinno recruited people directly from the island country.
Mao Wenlong was not idle, and the surprise attack of the enemy army caught him off guard. In addition to the losses in Guangzhou, there are also heavy losses in Fujian. The only thing that pleased him was the decisive battle, which had very few casualties.
As long as people have nothing to do, the loss of materials Mao Wenlong can still be tolerated. So when he returned to Guangzhou and saw Adou with a sad face, he didn't blame him for half a sentence, but comforted: "Don't worry too much, it's just the loss of property, as long as people are not injured." ”
Mao Wenlong's mind is still quite well understood, after all, he has been by his side for so long. Knowing that what Mao Wenlong said just now was not hypocritical, Adou no longer struggled.
After that, Adou led Mao Wenlong and checked the losses in the city. After Mao Wenlong watched it, he found that the destruction of this Guangzhou city was far greater than what he saw on the surface.
In addition to the destruction of the buildings and the fact that the Japanese did not even spare the grain stored in the people's homes, the grain, grass and money of the entire city were almost removed.
Although Mao Wenlong is wearing civilian clothes at the moment, these generals and guards are not. So their group was soon seen by the people who had been stricken by the disaster.
At first, it was just someone who plucked up the courage to ask Adou for help, but then it began to turn sour. More and more people who heard the wind began to use it from all directions, and gradually surrounded Mao Wenlong and his hundreds of people.
The people didn't want to besiege Mao Wenlong and them, they just wanted to ask the officials to help them get through the difficulties in front of them. It's a pity that accidents will inevitably occur when there are too many people, from the noisy quarrel at the beginning to the end of the start of pushing each other. Slowly, things got out of hand.
"Official, you can save our people! Those robbers of our family's money and food, how will we live in the future! An old man didn't know how to squeeze in front of Adou, and he knelt down and cried all of a sudden.
Before Adou could react, another voice sounded again: "Official, please save my two lovely babies, they were just adults and were forcibly taken captive by those widows." ”
This will be a woman, and she will also kneel in front of Adou and cry all of a sudden. Looking at the tears on her face and her look of grief and despair, it deeply touched Adou's strong and soft heart.
In the face of fierce enemies, Adou can swing his sword without hesitation, but in the face of these suffering people, Adou begins to be at a loss. He turned to look at Mao Wenlong beside him, with a look of distress in his eyes.
At this time, the defense line of the Dongjiang Army was completely crushed by the people, and many people crowded in front of him knelt down in front of Adou and complained to him for help.
Looking at the large number of sad people kneeling in front of him in the dark, Adou didn't know what to do for a while? In the end, he had to cast his eyes on Mao Wenlong for help again.
Mao Wenlong was very helpless in his heart, seeing that he didn't stand up and say a few words, the situation in front of him could get out of control at any time. In fact, the people's demands are very simple, and the solution is not difficult. It's just that Adou has no experience in this area at all, which leads to his current helplessness.
Without too much hesitation, Mao Wenlong immediately stood up, raised his hands high, and signaled the people to calm down as soon as possible. Then he shouted loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, don't worry, your food Dongjiang Army will be responsible, and you will definitely not be hungry." As for other matters, the general will send someone down to register afterwards, and everyone can tell them at that time. If there is a chance in the future, the Dongjiang Army will definitely solve the demands for everyone. ”
Seeing that the people's mood was somewhat stable, Mao Wenlong immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Now the general has to inspect the whole city and find a way to restore everything in the city as soon as possible. ”
What the people want is an answer, and Mao Wenlong has given it to them just now. After listening to the words again, people began to leave one after another.
This made Adou breathe a sigh of relief, handed Mao Wenlong a grateful look, and then began to join the army to appease the emotions of the people.
Walking around the city, it was already dusk, Adou and Mao Wenlong had a hasty meal together, and began to be busy distributing food to the people in the city.
The people of Guangzhou Fucheng have tens of thousands, and tens of thousands of people need a lot of food to eat. Fortunately, the warships of the Dongjiang Army had hoarded a lot of food, and it was no problem to use it for more than ten days. If you bring in food from other places, you will not be nervous.
Busy time always flies by, and in the blink of an eye, a night goes by. The next morning, Mao Wenlong was about to rest with two panda eyes, but he was shocked by the news sent by the guards!
