The Japanese went out, with the ecstasy in their hearts, and with the support of artillery, they were confident that they would take Palembang and occupy it there for a hundred years, and they would have untold riches.

"Someone came, call back, and say that the battle loss is about 50,000 people, see the military newspaper for details." Deng Hailong casually reported a number. Then he said: "Write another military newspaper according to the real number and arrange for the clipper to send it back." ”

The adjutant went without saying a word.

The telegraph room, a copy of the capture of the 2,000-mile strait of Malacca, as well as important towns on both sides of the strait, the north bank has been swept away, the south bank is still fighting, and the battle losses are 50,000, see the military newspaper for details.

After the telegram, he went back to his room and closed the door. The lieutenant also wrote a military report: the north shore had occupied four important ports, and the rest were occupied by the kingdom of Manchuria, and Temasek had retracted and arranged for heavy garrisons. The Japanese all moved to the south bank and were in a bitter battle when they encountered the main force of the enemy.

We consumed 1,700 barrels of gunpowder, 70,000 shells, 400,000 musket shells, killed 30,000 enemies, and suffered 15 casualties.

After writing, put it in a tin box and seal it. Only then did the adjutant general arrange for a reliable soldier to send him to Nanjing, and then whispered: "To anyone, don't mention the military newspaper." only said that he was only responsible for delivering the letter, and the rest did not know at all, and the military newspaper would be handed over to Yu Taishi by hand. ”

"Order!" The guards gave a military salute very seriously, then carried the military newspaper on their backs, and called a group of people to go to the dock, where there would naturally be a clipper to arrange for him to send him back to Nanjing.

Nanjing City, White Horse Pavilion.

This has completely become Yu Qian's territory, and Yu Qian has more than 100 auxiliary ministers alone, and he is running back and forth here.

"My lord, from the military report of Malacca, our army lost 50,000 in battle." Everyone lowered their heads when they heard this, but Yu Qian pointed to the shelf over there. The scribe hurriedly sent over the military reports of the past few days, and Yu Qian flipped through them: "Since thirteen days ago, seven thousand, twenty thousand, six thousand......" Yu Qian was adding.

In the end, Yu Qian threw the telegram on the table: "Go." The official document only said that in order to protect the Ming ocean route, in order to protect the peace of the South Seas, and to drive away the ambitious Ottomans. My Ming soldiers fought bravely, the two thousand three hundred miles of the strait of Nanyang Ma Liujia, the battle of six thousand miles of coastline has been conquered for most of the battle, 50,000 soldiers for the safety of the Ming Dynasty blood stained Ma Liujia, the capital, Nanjing, dressed in plain clothes to show mourning! ”

"Yes!" The scribe knew how to polish the article.

"That's right. It was strictly forbidden for merchants and farmers to donate money and materials. Only when they work hard to farm and make clothes, can the front-line soldiers have clothes to wear and food to eat. Go ahead. ”

After Yu Qian finished speaking, he calculated those numbers again. scolded in his mouth: "Deng Hailong, Deng Hailong, this is really close to Zhu Hong, close to ink and black." You and the white crane don't learn well. Just learn these boring things. The battle damage has accumulated 240,000 people, and you have all your sailors. Add them all, and you have brought 110,000 men, even if you add the pigs and sheep for food, you can't make up 240,000 battle losses. ”

After scolding Deng Hailong, Yu Qian asked again: "The rest of the parties are damaged in battle?" ”

Immediately, a scribe came over: "My lord, 90,000 Japanese people have died in battle." Another 120,000 men were requisitioned from Wajima. With the addition of the original, more than 300,000 Japanese people have been engaged in battles. ”

Another scribe came and reported: "Siam actually lost 60,000 men in battle, but the results were mediocre. I heard that there was another increase in troops, but I did not receive detailed paperwork. ”

"Your Excellency, the Goryeo soldiers lost about 40,000 casualties. However, it took a heroic city, but it was not an important place in the strait, and it belonged to a secondary resource port. ”

"My lord, Little Luzon lost 7,000 men in the battle, and has occupied most of the northern part of the northeast corner of the Baltic Continent."

"Let's go down!" Yu Qian understood that this was Deng Hailong who sent the Japanese to be cannon fodder, and then he was afraid that the Japanese would rebound, so he kept claiming how many vicious battles the Ming Dynasty fought, and then how many war losses. It's ruthless!

Yu Qian figured this out, while thinking about how to give some benefits to the Japanese people, you must know that the battle has just begun, there are still two-thirds of that place, and the more you go south, the more difficult it will be to fight, Deng Hailong will use the Japanese people to death, only by giving more benefits, the Japanese people will rush forward desperately.

Just as he was thinking, a scribe rushed in from outside like crazy.

"Great, sir, urgent. The ocean-going fleet had returned, six hundred ships had approached Malacca, and Admiral Deng was ordering the fleet to bombard several difficult ports and clear the shipping lanes for the ocean-going fleet. The telegram said that there were 120 passenger ships, 360 cargo ships, and 260 escorts, of which ......"

As he spoke, the scribe looked around.

"What can't be read." Yu Qian asked with a smile.

"Among them, there is one gold ship, thirteen silver ships, seven gold-like ships, and forty-one silver-like ships." The scribe swallowed a mouthful of saliva, which was terrifying.

Yu Qian just nodded lightly: "Inform Wei Guogong and transfer the Nanjing Navy Master to meet you." ”

"Yes!" The scribe replied loudly, and ran out, this huge amount of wealth, how can it be reassuring if you don't send a reliable fleet to meet it, even if this is already at the doorstep, but only the storage is the real wealth, and it is not so reassuring to float on the sea.

Yu Qian picked up the cloak on the hanger: "Official, go out and breathe." Don't come to this officer without urgent military affairs. With that, Yu Qian walked steadily and steadily. Yu Qian was able to go there to breathe, and after leaving the White Horse Pavilion, he went straight to the Nanjing Imperial Palace, and there were some things he had to discuss with the Ming Emperor in advance.

Emperor Daming was not idle in the palace, Zhu Qiyu was a diligent emperor, and he was listening to the report of the Ministry of Industry on the progress of the construction of the railway, as well as the plan for the next stage of steel production.

Hearing that Yu Qian was coming, Zhu Qiyu pointed to the map: "You guys discuss it first, what I mean is that although Turpan is far away, there must be a plan." With the railway, the Western Regions can really be regarded as the Ming Dynasty, without the railway, I am uneasy! ”

Out of the palace of deliberations, Zhu Qiyu asked Yu Qian to come to the study with him.

"Yu Aiqing, is the battle ahead critical?" It's not that Zhu Qiyu doesn't care, but since Yu Qianzuozhen and Deng Hailong are in front, there is nothing he needs to worry about. One is a master of the art of war, and the other is that the name of the Dragon King of the South China Sea is not called in vain.

Deng Hailong used the Japanese as cannon fodder, and although the rest of the countries had war losses, they also had actual gains. However, the proportion of the Japanese war losses was far from what they gained. The ministers have given some compensation to the Japanese people, or let them actually occupy some places, let Deng Hailong be lighter, there are still more than 10 million Japanese people on the Japanese island, don't be too ruthless at one time. ”

"If you get it, just say what I said, and let Deng Haiyou reward the widows." After talking about the Japanese people, Zhu Qiyu asked again: "How about my Ming war damage?" ”

The minister did not report the real situation in detail, but according to the minister's estimate, there were almost 30,000 casualties. Six hundred were seriously wounded, more than three hundred were killed in battle, and the rest were all lightly wounded, but they were transported back in the name of serious injuries. Yu Qian replied truthfully.

Minor injuries are not disabled or casualties, this is a trick played by Deng Hailong.

"This is a trivial matter, fighting abroad, you can't let Xiaobang think that the Ming Dynasty will let them die." Zhu Qiyu is speaking for Deng Hailong, in his opinion, it doesn't matter how many Japanese people die, there are practical benefits to the dead people in Siam, and it is not that the Ming Dynasty let them die, but that the Siamese people dare to rush too much.

"Hooray, one more thing. There is a fleet of ships coming back from the white crane side, a total of 600 ships, gold and silver...... Countless! ”

"What do you mean by innumerable?" Zhu Qiyu said in his heart, with a white name as a crane, don't you even have an account book?

"Hooray, many cargo ships are two thousand ships, plus food for the crew, fresh water. The sea is stormy, will it be extremely full, but surrender, at least 200,000 stone worth of silver, at least. ”

Zhu Qiyu is blinded, Bai Minghe, are you going to help Byzantium restore the country, or are you going to rob Byzantium.

200,000 stone silver! Zhu Qiyu looked up at the ceiling, and reacted violently: "Yu Aiqing, I thought that Bai Minghe must have a playbook to come, and he wanted to ask for soldiers." This time, the number of requests will not be less. Da Ming is not afraid to send troops, but you said that Bai Minghe did this, I am a little uncertain. ”

"Long live, the minister doesn't know, let's wait for someone to come back and ask, the minister just wants to say, whether to give soldiers or not, order the shipyard to ensure quality, ensure quantity, and increase production. It shouldn't be a problem for the craftsmen to double their rewards. ”

"Triple it, tell them to have a good ship, to have a quantity, and to triple the wages. Ordered the water 6 recruits to intensify their training and double their food. There is no need to say the rest of the words, those ten words must be destroyed. ”

"Minister, Commander!" Yu Qian bowed and retired.

When Yu Qian went to inspect the shipyard and encouraged the shipwrights to work hard and work hard. Deng Hailong's ship has also gone to sea.

Two days later, Deng Hailong's ship reappeared outside Palembang, where the Japanese were preparing for an all-out assault on Palembang. On the temporary dock, Takeda Shinano was waiting with several daimyo of the Wa Kingdom, and Deng Hailong personally came to the front line to supervise the battle, and they knew that this battle must be won.

But Deng Hailong's boat had not yet docked, but a boat stopped in the shallow water, and then opened the warehouse door, and poured silver into the shallow water of the sea one by one.

The boat set sail and was gone.

Deng Hailong took a small boat to the shore slowly, got off the boat, and Deng Hailong accepted the gifts of these Japanese daimyo. But he didn't speak, the deputy general next to him motioned to the two guards to open a map, Deng Hailong took out his knife and slashed it casually, almost thirty miles west of Palembang, and then a diagonal line, to the southwest.

On the other side, it is about a hundred miles east of Bengkulu.

"This governor is in charge, and you are careful here. This area is a good recipe for rice and sugar cane, but do not plant mulberry trees. The production of raw silk in Wajima should be increased, which was needed by the imperial court. Those ......" Deng Hailong pointed to the pile of silver in the sea: "Reward for meritorious deeds, and give it to the families of soldiers who died in battle." ”

After that, Deng Hailong turned around and went back to the boat, waved his hand and signaled that you people should do whatever they should do.

Deng Hailong left, how much silver was in that pile, looking at those baskets and baskets, even if someone said that there was a million silver here, the Japanese people believed it. (To be continued!)
