Fang Yuan let go of Shimazu Mitsuhisa, and there were less than ten Japanese soldiers with cronies, and the rest of the Japanese soldiers were all used as hard labor to clean up the battlefield.

Now that Fang Yuan had completely controlled the initiative of the battle situation, he began to count the results of the battle and reward his merits.

Shi Lang first handed over the good news of the sailors, the captured commander of the Zheng army, Lin Xishan, more than ten Zheng army and thousands of households, and more than 10,000 Zheng troops detained at the Zhoushan naval base. His uncle, Shi Fu, who wanted to persuade him to surrender again, was not on the list of prisoners.

This time Shi Lang made a great contribution, no amount of rewards was enough to praise his merits, Fang Yuan promoted him to the deputy commander of the Xuanjia Army, which was tied with the status of Chigutai, equivalent to the position of deputy commander-in-chief.

As for Shi Fu, as well as the treatment of Lin Xishan and others, Fang Yuan gave Shi Lang carte blanche to deal with it. If Shi Fu is willing to surrender, he can use Lin Xishan and the lives of 10,000 Zheng family sailors to exchange for thousands of Shi family members in Fujian, so as not to be slaughtered by Zheng Zhilong again.

Fang Yuan's protection of the Shi family made Shi Lang grateful, and he hurriedly returned to the Zhoushan base, and then sent someone to negotiate with the Zheng family to exchange prisoners.

Jing Jie also reported the results of the land battle, and this time the Xuanjia Army suffered 9,200 casualties, of which the infantry battalion suffered the heaviest losses, reaching 6,100 people; The cavalry battalion lost two thousand men; The battalion lost 1,100 men, and the amount of food, armament, horses, artillery, saltpeter, etc., was equivalent to 230,000 taels of silver.

The total number of enemy casualties was 75,000, and 12,000 were captured. Among them, the Zheng army lost 37,000 people, captured 12,000 people, and even the most elite 5,000 tiger guards also lost 4,000 and were almost disabled; Zheng's naval division lost 220 warships and 4,800 killed; The Japanese soldiers lost 37,000 men and captured 3,000.

The Xuanjia army captured a total of 20,000 stone of military rations, 2,000 taels of gold and silver, 80 artillery pieces, 31,000 Japanese knives, and 8,000 Japanese bird guns.

The battle loss ratio between the two sides reached about 1:8, and although the Xuanjia Army suffered a lot of losses, it was indeed a great victory with such a large battle loss ratio.

After Jing Jie reported the results of the battle, Qin Zhan, who was in charge of Jinyiwei, reported, "Boss, during this war, except for the invaded Suzhou Mansion and Songjiang Mansion, which caused panic among the local people, there was no large-scale gathering of people to make trouble. ”

Fang Yuan asked, "What about the officials?" What about the literati? What about Gu Yanwu's bright newspaper? ”

Qin Zhan said truthfully, "Those officials are performing their own duties, and there is no change, and Wang Bingjian of Changzhou and Zhenjiang also personally summoned the people to support the war at Jingkou Wharf; Chen Hongmi, who was in Suzhou Prefecture, was also calling on the people of Suzhou Prefecture to go to Taicang Prefecture to support and resist the invasion of Japanese soldiers. ”

"Literati! The most talked about is that when Suzhou and Songjiang were invaded, the governor of Fang was accused of not knowing how to fight at all and commanding blindly, and if he wanted to replace them, he directly put a few cannons, and as soon as the cavalry charged, the Japanese soldiers were gone. ”

Fang Yuan couldn't help but smile, these sour literati like to be self-assured, and their self-righteous mouths are all in his expectations, but they are talking about how to resist foreign enemies, not hoping to lure wolves into the house like Zhejiang, which fully proves that today's five mansions, both officials and people, are relieved to recognize Fang Yuan's rule.

Fang Yuan smiled with relief, and allocated Qin Zhan, Jin Yiwei's five thousand taels of silver, which was regarded as a reward.

After Qin Zhan's report, Ma Lin came to plead guilty again and waited for Fang Yuan's punishment.

Ma Lin lost Zhenhai and Jinshan Erwei, but in Huzhou Mansion with a mere 2,000 people dragged Zheng Sen's 40,000 troops, and even achieved a great victory in Huzhou, which can be said to be a merit and demerit, Fang Yuan also gave a little admonition, and ordered him to continue to serve as the commander of the infantry battalion.

Fang Yuan also gave Ma Lin a task, that is, with the cooperation of the Sailor Battalion, he sent people to Henan, Huguang and others to recruit 100,000 displaced strong homeless people and young women to come back and resettle them, which was used to replenish the infantry battalion with heavy losses, and to assign spouses to the Xuanjia sergeants.

He also allocated 50,000 taels of silver to Malin for the recruitment and resettlement of the displaced people.

After Fang Yuan discussed the merits and deeds one by one, Jing Jie stood up and began to ask for a battle to send troops to Zhejiang, "Boss, the Zheng family has suffered heavy losses now, and there is no strength to fight, our army should take advantage of the victory to attack and completely drive the Zheng army out of Zhejiang." ”

The generals were excited, and they came out to ask for battle, wanting to wipe out the Zheng army.

Fang Yuan shook his head, and only said to Ma Lin, "Commander Ma, Zhao Quanzhong, you two continue to stick to Huzhou Mansion, I will transfer another 3,000 foot battalion, 3,000 Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, and Zheng Sen of Hangzhou Mansion will continue to confront, and the rest of the battalion sergeants will all return to the Taihu base to rest." ”

When the generals saw that he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but instead withdrew his troops, they all looked at each other.

Jing Jie was stunned and asked, "Boss, the fighter plane must not be lost, who are you?" ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Third brother, we have to drive Zheng Jun back to Fujian, and we will be fighters at any time." But it is easy to drive Zheng Jun back to Fujian, but it is difficult to subdue the people of Zhejiang, so let's wait! ”

Jing Jie asked puzzled, "Boss, what are you waiting for?" ”

Fang Yuan said leisurely, "The Zheng army and the Japanese soldiers came from afar, and the supply depended on the support of the Zhejiang Prefectures. Fujian and Zhejiang, a rich paradise, a poor countryside, a fat sheep without resistance, and a hungry wolf with extreme ferocity, how can the two sides live in peace, and it will change for a long time! ”

"I'm waiting, waiting for the bureaucrats, gentry, and wealthy businessmen in Zhejiang to beg our original to go to hang the people and fight for the heavens, and then they will really attack and subdue the fighters of the five northern provinces in Zhejiang in one fell swoop."

Jing Jie suddenly realized that it was quite easy to defeat Zheng Jun, but it was difficult to make Zhejiang sincerely obedient.

Fang Yuan just saw that Zheng Jun, the Japanese army, and Zhejiang only lived in harmony on the surface, and Zhejiang could not endlessly provide military rations and people to support these distant masters. Moreover, the Zheng army and the Japanese soldiers suffered defeats and delayed the battle, which will inevitably lead to low morale and corrupted military discipline, and they will begin to harass the people of Zhejiang, and even commit adultery and plunder.

Zhejiang's government and people have endured the hardships of these soldiers from afar, and they will make a wise choice between taking refuge in Fangyuan and Fujian. At that time, Fang Yuan would be able to enter Zhejiang without bloodshed, take over the five prefectures in northern Zhejiang, and even extend his hand directly into the six prefectures in southern Zhejiang.

This is also a small punishment for Zhejiang to lure wolves into the house!

Fang Yuan stood up and began to fulfill his previous promise, "To celebrate this great victory, each sergeant will be rewarded with two taels of silver, one pound of meat, and one stone of rice. The Xuanjia Army at the Taihu Lake base was divided into three teams, taking turns on duty, getting drunk for three days, and celebrating the victory together! ”

As soon as this military order of generous rewards went, the entire Taihu base was filled with joy, and the other party was singing praises and was convinced.

On the first day of the feast, Fang Yuan ordered all the unguarded sergeants to participate, even including Wang Chengen, who was hiding in the Taihu Lake base. Wang Chengen had helped him a lot, but now although he was driven out of the capital in a difficult situation, Fang Yuan still respected him and made him sit in the chief.

After a tour of drinking, Chigutai and Li Zongze, who have been rivals since they first met, did not accept anyone, and competed in public for the amount of alcohol.

The commanders, thousands of households and other officers even opened a gambling game on the side, betting on the stakes, at least a few hundred taels of silver. In the end, both of them were drunk and unconscious, and they were carried back by the guards.

Su Hongyu, who was in charge of logistics, immediately sent someone to send the two of them the decanting soup that had been prepared earlier, as well as the sobering medicine that Fang Yuan gave her, all of which Fang Yuan bought from Taobao.

Fang Yuan, who was in the chief, was also toasted by the generals in turn, and he was dazed.

Half-drunk and half-awake, Fang Yuan's drunken eyes suddenly found that there was something missing from the banquet, even Wang Chengen, who was drunk and laughing, who else was missing?

He covered his head with one hand and thought desperately for a while, only to remember that it was Princess Kunxing who was missing the Taihu Lake base.

The wife who was marrying Ming Media had not yet had a room, and a fire rose in Fang Yuan's womb, and he got up drunk, and asked Jingjie to take him to the princess's bedroom.

Jing Jie was stunned, Fang Yuan came to the door so drunk, what good thing could he do, when he met the eunuchs and palace maids accompanying the princess, it was estimated that there would be another conflict. But he couldn't disobey Fang Yuan's words, so he could only ask Su Hongyu to personally take Fang Yuan, as well as Hu Qi and his party to the princess's bedroom, and they could also play a round nearby.
