In the East China Sea, Higashinoshima, the remnants of the naval army led by Shimazu Hisao to break through are temporarily docked here. Unlike the celebration scene of the Mawei military camp in full swing, the East Dog Island is gloomy at this moment.

Originally, the inhabitants of East Inu Island and West Inu Island had already been slaughtered by them, saying that they were residents, but in fact they were also a gathering place for small groups of pirates and their families, and killing these residents also made Shimazu Hisao and them lose supplies. At this moment, Shimazu's subordinates no longer have the spirit they had when they first came to the coast of Fujian, but they were all depressed and gloomy.

In the first battle at the mouth of the Minjiang River, they had more than 60 large and small warships, and only 40 of them insisted on traveling here. In addition to the seventeen ships that were sunk and captured in the naval battle, on the way back, five more ships were sunk. The sea is vast, there is no one to rely on, and there is no boat to repair the ship for them. Several ships that were seriously injured in the naval battle, the sea water continued to pour into the cabin, and they could not be blocked, and finally sank into the sea one after another before they could make it to Higashiu Island. Before the ship sank, the hundreds of soldiers on board were transferred to other ships in advance, which is the only thing to be thankful for!

The former stockades on both Higashi-Inu and Nishi-Inu are now temporary camps for the pirates, and the few houses are full of wounded and howling wounded. Due to the lack of medical care on the ship and on the island, there were constantly seriously injured people who died in a miserable manner, which made the whole island feel miserable.

In the original pirate meeting hall in the East Inu Island Village, Shimazu Hisao and several family elders were relatively silent, all thinking about how this fiasco should end. For such a large loss, someone must always be responsible.

In the end, it was Kawakami who took the lead in breaking the silence: "Eldest son, damn Zheng Jing deceived the head of the family and everyone and gave us false information. We should immediately return to Kyushu Island to report to the head of the family and expose Zheng Jing's villainous face. The Geng family is not unprepared at all, maybe the two of them may have joined forces, where might Zheng Jing be preparing to ambush us at this moment! ”

"Kawakami is right, damn Zheng Jing told us that the Geng family was a newly formed sailor, but looking at the previous battle, was that a newly formed sailor? Does the new army of the Navy Division have such a level? It is clear that they are all experienced and battle-hardened veterans, not that I am long enough to destroy their own prestige, their combat effectiveness is only stronger than ours, not weaker! If it weren't for that, how could we have suffered such a big loss! You must hurry back and report to the head of the family, and let Zheng Jing pay the price he deserves! Another elder immediately chimed in.

Seeing that Shimazu Hisao was still pondering and hesitating, Kawakami said again: "Eldest son, the head of the family handed over the water master to you and me, but at this moment he suffered a fiasco, after going back, the head of the family will definitely be severely punished, I am afraid that the status of your family master in the heart of the eldest son will also drop a lot!" Where to go, please think about it more! "Kawakami is really old and calculating, as an excellent family elder, not only does he need considerable military strategy, but he is also not bad at playing politics.

These family elders also have their considerations, he does not belong to the family head family, and Shimazu Hirayama, who is good friends with him at this moment, must be finished, and now he can only get through the difficulties by tying up with the eldest prince in front of him. Although the eldest prince and him were not all the way before, they have the same demands at this moment, and it does not prevent them from coming together!

Although Shimazu Hisao is young, he is not a stupid person, he grew up in a big family, and intrigue is a lesson that must be learned when he is young. "What the old man said is reasonable, Zheng Jing is going to plot against Kyushu Island and want to use the Geng family's knife to kill people, and his grandfather did it back then. Otherwise, how to explain that our men were ambushed as soon as they came ashore! I also ask all the elders to report to my father with me! After speaking, he bowed to everyone.

"Yes, eldest son!" Kawakami and the other family elders looked at each other and smiled, although they suffered heavy losses in this expedition, as long as they were okay, the lost strength could be quickly regained.

Shimazu Hisao stayed on Higashiinu Island for only one day, and after briefly repairing the damaged warship, he set sail again for Kyushu Island. First, he was afraid that Zheng Jingzhen would join forces with the Geng family and secretly carry out an ambush, and second, he wanted to return to Kyushu Island as soon as possible and report to his father. And Zheng Jing, the king of Yanping County, whom they hated against, was fighting happily with the Dutch, but they didn't know that from now on they would have another enemy who was not weak.

However, when he decided to adopt Chen Yonghua's Jianyi and use the Shimazu family to drag the Geng family, he had already thought of countermeasures. It's just that he would never have thought that Shimazu Hisao would not listen to his advice and go directly to the vicinity of Fuzhou to plunder, and directly broke into the mouth of the Min River. He didn't expect that the Satsuma Domain's naval division team, which was not weak, would not be the opponent of the Mawei Navy that the Geng family had just established, in his mind, no matter how fast the Geng family developed, it would be impossible to help Shimazu Hisao, who knew that they would actually lose, and it was so fast, so miserable! Now, it is estimated that no matter what rhetoric Zheng Jing prepares, the Satsuma Domain will definitely become a mortal enemy with him, and the Zheng clan's trade with Japan will definitely be hindered by the Kyushu Satsuma Domain in the future!

What Zheng Jing would not have imagined was that in order to shirk his responsibility and guard against him, Shimazu Hisao encountered a storm on the way to speed up, and the guide fleet was lost again, and when they returned to Kyushu Island, the original expedition had shrunk by half! When he learns the news in the future, he will definitely spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

The short night passed quickly, and after dawn, I did not hear the slogans that shook the sky in the past, nor did I feel the thunder rolling down like the wrath of the god of thunder. Today, Geng Jingzhong specially ordered the soldiers to take an extra day off and not need to continue training. After the big battle, the soldiers must be allowed to rest and relax, and the nerves, which have been highly tense, can also cause big problems.

Geng Jingzhong slept very steadily last night, the navy's training was fruitful, he already had considerable combat strength, and his own strength became stronger and stronger. For this naval battle, Geng Jingzhong was satisfied from the bottom of his heart. In any case, the first-time naval soldier did not disappoint him and played the majesty of the horsetail navy. Geng Jingzhong deeply knows that the cruelty of naval warfare is no less than that of land warfare, and there are more uncertainties at sea. In the land battle, there was still a corpse remaining, but the bones were left in the water in the naval battle, and there was no trace of the corpse, which was one of the reasons why some fishermen were reluctant to join the navy.

Geng Jingzhong was satisfied with the great victory in the naval battle, but he was very annoyed by the news of the destruction of the Monkey Island Commercial Port. After getting the news, he didn't care that he hadn't washed his face yet, so he quickly beckoned Li Guangdi to come to Houyu Port together. At this moment, the group is standing on top of this ruin. Where is there still the shadow of the original commercial port, which collapsed everywhere, full of holes, and a mess.

Seeing such a completely damaged port, Geng Jingzhong's distressed heart was dripping blood, and Rao was so good-tempered that he couldn't help but scold: "Dog Japanese devil, Lao Tzu recruited you to provoke you, first plundered the coastal areas of Fujian, slaughtered coastal residents, and now actually ruined my port, what the hell are you doing to destroy my port, there are so many ammunition that you can't run out, you go home and set off artillery!" You grandma's wait for me, if I don't destroy your entire city in the future, Lao Tzu will have your surname! While scolding, he jumped up and pointed to the north.

Li Guangdi and others stood behind Geng Jingzhong, and they didn't care whether His Royal Highness the Prince was rude and hindered his image. They were also full of anger when they saw that most of the Monkey Island Commercial Port, which had already been built, was destroyed. The crystallization of countless sweats of the workers for more than three months was destroyed like this, and many workers around them left tears for it, and wept deeply for their happiness.

Geng Jingzhong's heart has been dripping blood, even if there is another naval battle, his loss will not be so big. Millions of taels of silver, just like that, if you use it to build a first-class battleship, you can build four or five of them, Geng Jingzhong is distressed!

"Shizi, you are angry, take care of your body!"

"Yes, Shizi, we can build this port again if it is rotten, and with cement, we can build it better than before. We've already beaten that damn woko away, and we'll go back to the field in the future! ”

Under the comfort of a group of people, Geng Jingzhong's mood was much better: "Okay, okay, I'm fine, Dazhong is right, we will build this commercial port better in the future, if the enemy can't bombard it with artillery, all of them will be used with cement and concrete, I won't believe it, so he can still bomb it!" ”
