Chapter 751: Remembering Bitterness (I)

The harvest of the Ming army, from the beginning to the end, took less than half an hour, the whereabouts of Xie Ao, the leader of the Black Shark Gang, were unknown, a few leaders escaped, the other thieves were all wiped out, and there were countless floating corpses on the sea, and the excited Ming Dynasty sailors began to salvage the dead and cut off the heads. The Four King Kongs were all captured by the official army, and nearly 200 prisoners were captured. If it weren't for the four King Kongs as supplementary ships, these prisoners would not have been able to be transported back, and I am afraid they would have to be disposed of on the spot.

Yang Chengzu's new army was organized into three divisions, two divisions under each battalion, four bureaus under each division, three banners under each bureau, three teams under each flag, and twelve soldiers in each team. This time, Yang Chengzu dispatched the first division of the new army, with a strength of nearly 500 people, excluding casualties, there were more than 400 people left, and there were enough people to drive a few boats back. By the time he got on the captured ship, the blood on the deck had not yet been washed off, and there were shocking traces of blood everywhere on the deck, and the strong smell of blood was in the air.

Yang Chengzu touched the cannons and spat out, "Bowl mouth?" Dare to call this thing a cannon? I thought it was a Franc machine, a Hongyi cannon, I thought I had made a fortune, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of thing. It's a loss, it's a loss. I'm afraid that I won't be able to stand it by him, but in fact, even if this kind of thing really fires a salvo, it won't damage my ship, and it's a waste of effort. ”

"The one who came out to be a pirate was trying to make a fortune, and he broke the ship, and everyone broke up. So it's rare to really be equipped with large artillery, anyway, there are no cannons on merchant ships, so you just need to scare the merchants. If you really want the Hongyi cannon, I'm afraid it is only in the hands of Sea King Xu Yang. ”

Leng Feishuang followed him to the new ship, looking at the few trophies of the officers and soldiers, and also had a proud smile on his face. After all, this is the first battle since the establishment of the new army, and it is the main force of the Black Shark Gang that is facing it, so everyone is not sure. If according to the combat effectiveness of the Ming military guard, maybe a pit was dug, but in the end the enemy was allowed to drill out, and the new army came to the battle for the first time, and this result was achieved, which can be called brilliant. The total number of casualties in the whole army was less than 40, the number of enemy prisoners was nearly 500, and the capture of four large ships was an exciting victory in every respect.

"What is the New Army? It is the face of the Son of Heaven, and the face cannot be beaten. The first battle can only be won and not lost, and it is allowed not to fight, but it cannot be allowed to lose. As soon as my father-in-law arrived in Nanjing, he told me this, although it was not the emperor's holy decree, but his old family was old and refined, and he had the ability to figure out the will. This idea, in fact, is the idea of long live, and it is not wrong. ”

Leng Feishuang also knew that Guo Xun's words were not wrong, so let's not mention the face issue. At present, the southeastern army is tired, and so much capital has been spent on the new army, and I don't know how many eyes fall on the new army. If the battle is defeated in the first battle, not only will the emperor's authority be damaged, but even the new army will be questioned, and at that time, most of them will be unable to move an inch, and even the development of Yang Ji will be implicated.

When to fight a war and what scale of war to fight, these things are very important, and in the final analysis, it is still necessary to ensure profits. The advantage of the new army is that it has just been established, there is not too much rot, and there are no too complicated personnel relations, as long as the command strategy is appropriate, then there should be no problem in winning a few battles.

The greater the attention, the greater the pressure, coupled with the constraints of the powerful clans in the southeast, as long as you stab you in the back, it is common for you to win and lose. It is necessary to choose carefully when the first battle will be fought and how large it will be.

This kind of prudence is naturally not wrong, and there is nothing wrong with being cautious in fighting a war with soldiers. Not to mention the chaotic situation in the southeast, who would dare not be cautious? However, it is often because of this kind of caution or trade-off that some cities will be weighed, or some victories will be weighed as success or defeat. For those in charge, they consider the overall gains and losses, rather than the victory or defeat of one city or one place, but for the parties concerned, it is often a different feeling.

This first victory was not only brilliant, but also relatively small in price, which was a choice that caused the least damage to the people in comparison. For Leng Feishuang, such a victory is most in line with her concept, and she appreciates Yang Chengzu a little more.

Yang Chengzu looked at Leng Feishuang, "Xu Yang has a cannon in his hand?" This Sea King seems to have a bit of a fortune, and he doesn't know how powerful the cannon fire is. Tell me about this Sea King, although Jin Yiwei has his information, but it is very limited. You know these people, they don't care much about these things, and when they really need to be used, they can't be counted on, and they can rely on them to harm others. ”

"Some of our White Lotus Sect members in the coastal areas are engaged in maritime business, but when people go to sea, they have to sell their face. I've dealt with him, and I know him a little bit, but I can't talk about how familiar I am. He is a native of Huizhou, where the land is poor and weak, and there is not enough food to eat, so the people have to go out to do business and conquer the world. Xu Yang followed a group of fellow villagers out to the sea, and then became the king of the sea. His subordinates claim to have tens of thousands of horses, even if the water is deducted, there are thousands of people, and there are hundreds of real widows among them. I heard that he was quite familiar with the daimyo of Wakoku on Tsushima Island, and one of his wives was also a princess of Wakoku. He also got along with the Franc man, so that he could buy artillery from the Franco. It's expensive, and the Franc machine doesn't like to sell ships and cannons to the Akito, so he probably doesn't have many cannons in his hand. We have the four King Kongs, and if we build a new batch of ships, we will be able to defeat him. ”

There is a specialization in the art industry, no matter how high Leng Feishuang's wisdom is, she has never seen the power of Hongyi's ship cannon, and the inference of victory or defeat is still calculated according to the firepower she has seen. Yang Chengzu didn't correct it, only nodded, "It seems that I have to deal with Xu Yang below, after beating this little loach, the Sea Dragon King will always show up." If he hides and does not see anyone, there will be nothing for him on this sea. I don't want to do that, go back to Ningbo. ”

Leng Feishuang asked, "What should I do with those prisoners?" Is it also like last time, after careful interrogation, pull it out and cut it? ”

"The last time I cut people, it was a last resort, they killed people and set fire to Ningbo, if they didn't kill them, the people of Ningbo would not agree. Now these captives don't need to do this. Although Xie Ao hurt his vitality this time, he always has a thousand men under him, and the terrain of Black Shark Island is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you use people to fill it, many people will die, and if you use this batch of prisoners well, you can have fewer deaths. Besides, don't you want to set up a religion, but first practice with them. ”

When the ship arrived in Ningbo, the people of the local chamber of commerce were led by Xue Niangzi and came to the dock early to greet them. As soon as they got off the ship, they were greeted by several merchants who discussed the purchase of prisoners. Yang Chengzu had no choice but to excuse himself and push back their request, but the angry scolding of the citizens, the stones that were still thrown, still fell on those prisoners like raindrops.

These people first saw the Jingguan built with human heads, and then saw the anger of the local people, and everyone's heads unconsciously lowered. No matter what kind of bandit it is, when it comes to this point, he will actually give in. The power of the environment has lost the power to resist, and after realizing that life and death are in the hands of man, few pirates can really be tough to the end.

In the school grounds, some Ningbo people came over, knelt outside the school grounds, crying and talking about the devastation their families suffered in the Ningbo Rebellion. I prayed that these guards could make it convenient for them to give themselves a chance to slash their enemies, and to be cattle and horses in the next life, and they must repay them.

This bandit was a ruthless person, and he didn't know how much he had done to kill people and set fires, but on this autumn night, the autumn wind brought cries and outpours, and some bandits involuntarily leaned towards their companions and buried their heads very low, very low.
