Chapter 470: Uneven Interests
The battle between the Ming army and Tang Ming lasted for a day, and in the evening, Fei Xin, Zhu Yong, and Li Ba were late. There was a faint joy on the faces of the three of Pen, Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and it was obvious that there should be a lot of gains in this battle.
The abrasion on Li Ba's shoulder had been bandaged, but there were still some blood stains on the gauze, Tang Ming frowned and asked, "The injury is not serious, right?" ”
Li Ba touched the back of his head and smiled: "It's not heavy, it's just that I accidentally scratched a little skin by a bullet." ”
Zhu Yong immediately pouted and answered: "This is your kid's life, if the bullet misses a little more, your hand will be useless." ”
Li Ba's eyes widened, and he immediately wanted to fight back, but now was not the time to let these two enemies make trouble, Tang Ming had no choice but to stop it: "Okay, you two guys are going to quarrel outside, and now I don't have time to listen to your!" ”
Although Li Ba and Zhu Yong like to talk about each other, they also know when to tell the difference, and when they saw Tang Ming stopping them, they immediately closed their mouths and stepped aside. Tang Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head, then turned to Fei Xin and said, "How is it?" Are our losses heavy? What about the casualties of the soldiers? ”
Fei Xin only hesitated for a moment and then replied: "There are not many casualties among the soldiers, but our ships have lost two-thirds of them. Now we have less than 200 ships that can still go to war, and there are only more than 40 treasure ships. ”
The joy on Tang Ming's face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a look full of suspicion, in his opinion, there shouldn't be such a result! Could it be that there is something else that happened on the battlefield? Seeing that Fei Xin was not here to explain, he didn't ask any further. Instead, ask directly about the harvest!
Fei Xin seemed to have been prepared, took out a booklet from his bosom, opened it and read: "In this battle, the whole army captured more than 600 usable warships and nearly 300 treasure ships. Artillery, ammunition and flintlock pistols totaled five fully loaded Ming cargo ships, and almost all of the more than 900 ships had to be repaired before they could continue to be used. The cost of this repair is equivalent to the cost of a hundred warships. ”
According to Fei Xin, only a quarter of the ships sunk by the Ming army this time, and it should be related to the fact that everyone present gave the order to seize the ship. Tang Ming smiled bitterly in his heart, these guys obviously didn't care about their life and death, they only cared about the ships of the Ming army.
And the fact that his fleet will lose so much should have something to do with this, Tang Ming is naturally dissatisfied with this. These guys call themselves brothers, but they do too much in secret. Facing Tang Ming's iron-blue face, Wu Fatzi and Yan Ruwei were still calm.
In their thoughts, they were willing to send troops to help Tang Ming fight the Ming army when the situation was unclear, which was already a great affection. Although they had the mentality of fishing in troubled waters at the beginning, it could not be denied that it was precisely because of their joining that Tang Ming's victory was now.
With such thoughts, Wu Fatzi and Yan Ruwei didn't feel that there was anything wrong with them doing this. Because if they didn't come to help Tang Ming, he would definitely not be able to win at this time, let alone the fact that there was still a third of the ships left. The casualties of the soldiers were even rarer, and with such a situation, Tang Ming should no longer have any dissatisfaction with their approach.
On the surface, there is really nothing wrong with Takeo and Yan Ruwei and Watanabe Village. But they shouldn't have come to help people with other purposes, but they still let the people they were helped suffer undeserved losses on the battlefield. For the three of them to do this, Tang Ming could only be unhappy in his heart, as for really blaming them, it was really not the right time.
In the final analysis, only interests are the primary reason for the interaction between people, and only because of the existence of interests can their relationships continue to exist firmly.
Tang Ming sorted out the doubts in his heart, and he also had a bottom in his heart. Now that Da Ming's biggest worry is gone, even if Zhu Di wants to be unfavorable to himself again, judging from the current situation, he still has to rebuild a large enough fleet. With this time as a buffer, Tang Ming believed that he had been able to grow to the point where Zhu Di had to look up to himself.
Without Zhu Di's shackles, he can now do whatever he wants, including the expansion of his power. When Tang Ming had not developed strong enough, he could not interfere with Zhu Di's well water. But the premise is that Zhu Di doesn't come to him first, this is Tang Ming's own bottom line for Zhu Di, otherwise, he doesn't mind taking advantage of Zhu Di's weak forces at sea, like those pirates, to constantly raid and harass his coastal areas.
Since Tang Ming didn't want to develop internally, there was naturally only one thing left, and there were three people in front of him who regarded themselves as hens laying golden eggs. These three people must have become Tang Ming's preferred targets, wanting to get benefits from him Tang Ming, but not wanting to dedicate, if they don't deal with this kind of person, presumably the old man will not let him go.
Tang Ming's face changed to a kind smile, and he sat at the same table with the three of them, and said with a smile: "Everyone should have heard it, and the harvest after this battle is quite rich." There are also more than 900 ships that can be reused once repaired. ”
Just now, when he didn't know that he had suffered such a big loss, Tang Ming might be able to tolerate Takeo and Yan Ruwei's calculations, but he had already made up his mind that he would not let him have a good time. Therefore, he took back the dislike he had just had towards Watanabe Village, and he was not prepared to express his opinion on the distribution of benefits.
Let the three of them make trouble by themselves, and it is best to pinch each other and leave dissatisfaction in their hearts. If the three of them were twisted into a rope and all used the same nostrils to breathe, such a situation was not what Tang Ming expected. Only by dividing them can we get the greatest benefit under favorable circumstances.
Tang Ming's sudden change caught Takeo and Yan Ruwei a little off guard, but when they thought of his heavily damaged warship, their doubts were dispelled. In other words, if they themselves are put on the way, they definitely don't have a good attitude. Only Tang Ming's performance at the moment is normal, if Tang Ming still looks like he is good at talking at this moment, then it will be their turn to be suspicious.
Wu Xiong and Yan Ruwei secretly glanced at each other, the two seemed to have already discussed, and after nodding at the same time, Wu Fat Man spoke: "This king and General Yan just now privately agreed with Brother Tang's previous proposal, why don't we distribute this hard-won victory fruit according to our own merits and our own losses."
