Returning to the castle's lord hall and sitting down, Zhang Qiang held a cup of coffee drunk by Westerners, quietly listening to the capture of the water master.

Ruan Shu said: "Governor Qiyu, this time, in addition to capturing the governors of various countries who fled, the sailor also captured the escaped Japanese daimyo Dekang Jiaichi and his generals, a total of seven hundred and twenty Japanese. ”

"Take it away and send it to Jinhua Mansion." Zhang Qiang was not interested in these captured people.

"Yes, Grand Governor, let's start with the seizure of Japanese supplies." After saying that, he flipped through the account books.

"This time, 20 Japanese warships were captured, imitating my Ming Fu boat, used to transport soldiers and supplies, a total of 120 ships, and there were also other Ming pirate ships, 131 Fu ships, 120 Japanese merchants who accompanied the army, 35 Ming pirate merchants in Japan, and 735 of their sailors and guards."

Zhang Qiang interrupted him, "Send all the people to Tingzhou Mansion, labor reform, and those who are not convinced are sent to hard labor camps, where they will die of labor and will never be able to live forever." ”

"Yes, Grand Duke." Ruan Shu agreed, and then continued:

According to statistics, this time the Japanese Ming Dynasty brought a total of 1,350 Japanese-style swords, 700 Japanese-style iron guns, 59 Japanese-style artillery, 350 barrels of gunpowder, 35 million rounds of lead bullet, 7,690 arquebuses, 1,300 sets of Japanese-style armor, 350 Japanese war horses, 350 pieces of wood for Japanese ship repair, and 350 planks,...... And so on, preliminary statistics, a total of two or three hundred and fifty million worth of silver. ”

"Also, the Japanese brought a total of thirteen million taels of gold and silver, and two million three hundred thousand taels of grain and grass."

"Yes, all of these were moved to the treasury of the governor of Jinhua Mansion and handed over to the household department for statistics."

Ruan Shu continued: "Speaking of the British, the British captured seventy-five warships this time, including thirty-two three-masted ships, and a total of more than 200 colonial merchant ships that came with the British, of which 88 were armed merchant ships, capturing enemy sailors, soldiers, merchants, and 1,300 people. ”

"In addition, the capture of three hundred and ten horses of the British, one hundred and twenty sets of armor, thirteen thousand weapons, and a total of four thousand three hundred arquebuses, of about the same quality as the Jingai-1 arquebus, and perhaps a little more, 1,300 barrels of gunpowder, 9,000 shells, 30,000 buckshots, 9,100 arquebuses, 3,000 pieces of wood for ship repair, and 3,000 planks."

"Moreover, the total amount of gold and silver of the English is one hundred and thirty thousand taels, and there are other commodities of various kinds, which are worth forty-one million taels in total,"

"Hmph, such a rich person still came to rob us, I really don't know whether to live or die, send these to the treasury of the governor of Jinhua Mansion, let the household department count them, and include them in the treasury income."

Zhang Qiang snorted angrily, coldly put all the enemy's materials and money into the pocket of the Huaxia army, he didn't want to give the Ming army at all, the Ming army was too defeated, he helped them so much, and it was silver, and weapons and equipment, so he fought with the Taixi coalition army of almost 20,000 troops, lost more than 100,000 people for more than half a month, and was finally defeated by others, almost affecting himself.

"Then there are the Spaniards, the Spaniards have come this time with about 300 ships, including more than 30 Clark warships, 15 Galen galleons, and some merchant ships of the Ming people of the South Seas, as well as the merchant ships of the Spanikans, more than 200 ships, bringing a lot of goods, but not much weapons and equipment. Gold and silver only brought in more than a million taels. ”

"Spaniards are so poor." Zhang Qiang said disdainfully.

"But the Spaniards brought with them more than 3,000 Spanish arquebuses, more than 200 pieces of artillery, most of them heavy guns, eighteen-pounds, twenty-four-pounds, thirty-two pounds, shells and bullets, and more than 30,000 gunpowder." Ruan said.

"Where is Ruan Wu?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"Currently in the Third Fleet, staying in the port of Baozhong." Ruan Shu looked at Zhang Qiang in surprise, not knowing why Zhang Qiang suddenly remembered that Ruan Wu was coming.

"Transfer him, promote him to the rank of general, form the Sixth Fleet of the Naval Division, stationed in the Trench Gate Realm, and a Marine Corps of the Naval Division is stationed in this castle and the harbor dock, and from then on the Trench Gate Realm will be the station of our Sixth Fleet."

"Well, the size of the Sixth Fleet, just be smaller, too many troops are not in line with our friendship with the Southern Ming Kingdom, the ships used in the fleet, just use the ships of the Spaniards and the British, and make thirty galleons into it, fifty Clark sailing ships, and twenty ships from the Ming Army, a total of one hundred warships, considering that there are also ships to transport the soldiers of the naval corps, and ten more Fu ships will go in, and the Fu ships will also be mobilized from the captured enemy merchant ships."

Although Zhang Qiang gave up the territory of the Trench Gate, he did not give up the right to garrison, which was not far from the station of the Fourth Fleet, and the two sides could support each other, control the sea lanes, and collect tolls, which was also a lot of income.

You can also monitor the naval division and army of the Southern Ming Kingdom nearby.

"You choose the Galen ship and the Clark ship in good condition, as well as the Canton ship, the Fu ship, a hundred, and incorporate them into your Fourth Fleet, so that the Fourth Fleet can expand a little, so that you can deal with more troubles, and then replace the Second Fleet, the Third Fleet, and the Fifth Fleet with a group of older warships, and send some warships to them, so that our total of five fleets can increase some strength, such strength, I think Zheng Chenggong will not dare to challenge us in the future, and we will develop further in the future."

Ruan Shuleng was stunned for a long time before he said happily: "In this way, our sailors will have 100 special war ships, more than 300 war ships, and more than 700 war ships, which has reached 1,000, plus some auxiliary medium-sized warships, some armed merchant ships, and small warships patrolling near the shore, our Huaxia Army's sailors have reached more than 3,000 ships. ”

"Well, the Dutch and Portuguese warships have not yet been spoken, and my plan is to incorporate these Westerners' warships into them and expand our sailors. Do a good job, and in the future you will be able to lead a naval division instead of a fleet of more than 200 warships. Zhang Qiang also said happily to Ruan.

"Xie Dadu was promoted, and the last general must be full of liver and brains, and he will die for the Huaxia army." Ruan Shu bowed down.

Zhang Qiang knew that in this battle with the Taixi people, his biggest gain was not the gold and silver and prisoners, but the huge fleet of the Taixi people, and the capture of their thousands of warships at once, plus the warships from his coastal shipyard, the sailors of the Huaxia Army had become a behemoth.

If it is used well, it is impossible for the entire Daming coast to have a place for Taixi people and Zheng Chenggong to carry out their activities, and they can no longer control the sea trade and show off their power except for surrender and obedient obedience.

The Huaxia Army will become a huge maritime empire.

Ruan Shu began to report the seizures again, and finally counted that the looted goods and goods had been confiscated from these merchants, Taixi people, so that the Huaxia army suddenly obtained the income of the first 1650 years, 80 million taels of gold and silver, and 60 million taels of goods, not counting the discounts of captured weapons, armor, grain and grass, artillery, muskets, gunpowder and other strategic materials.

Of course, the Huaxia Army will not use these, and these weapons and equipment will all be used to sell and support allies.

It can be said that in this battle, although Zhang Qiang lost more than half of the elite of the guard regiment, as well as thousands of field brigade soldiers, and many members of the action team of the military intelligence department in this area, the return was greater than the effort.

And it is far exceeding, it can be said that the gains are huge, massive.
