Chapter 255: Burnt Eyes
Although the Battle of Nanri Island has ended, in the next few days, the Sea Wolf Tribes still can't be idle, just after the war, there are a lot of things to clean up, and if you are not careful, there will be problems.
Although the main fleet suffered little losses in this battle, it also had certain casualties and losses, and the fleet lost a total of eight ships in this battle, of which six ships were sunk or scrapped on the spot, and two ships were seriously damaged and ran aground.
The loss of soldiers on the island is slightly heavier, the six or seven hundred sea wolf troops who stayed in Dazhai and the Shangzhan area have suffered nearly 200 casualties after several days of fierce fighting in Chu Cai's old attack on the village, including more than 80 people killed in battle, and nearly 100 light and serious wounded, but fortunately they are fighting on the island's home field, there are better medical halls in Dazhai on the island, and some medical officers with good medical skills, many wounded people can get quite timely treatment after being injured, and many of them can save their lives after being treated. It won't kill them because of a small injury.
This relatively complete medical aid has also boosted the morale of the sea wolf tribes who participated in the stay this time, at least they don't have to worry that after they are injured, they will be abandoned like a shoe, leaving them to fend for themselves.
Looking at this era, the Ming Dynasty, including the regular Ming army, cannot reach the level of rescue like the Seawolf Group, which is also a very wise thing that Yu Xiaotian has done.
There were also some wounded on board, and after the end of the war, the ships docked one after another, and these wounded were immediately transferred to the infirmary in Dazhai so that they could also be treated immediately.
In short, the battle damage of the sea wolf was basically the same as the original expectation, which made Yu Xiaotian somewhat relieved.
After the war, the biggest trouble is the disposal of prisoners, which the sea wolf has considerable experience, basically according to the previous method, these captives are screened first, some of them are singled out and guarded separately, and the rest of the minions are disrupted and resettled, some of them are not easy to stay as sailors or soldiers after screening, including some older captives, directly eliminated, and used as slaves, In the future, I will have to send it to Tamsui Village or Chicken Coop Village to do coolies.
The remaining young men will be reorganized and sent to the new battalion, where they will be quarantined, brainwashed and trained as recruits, and will be supplemented to the Sea Wolf people after passing the qualifications.
The captured ships need to be carefully screened by the craftsmen of the ship, and the ships that are newer or in good condition will be put into the fleet for use, and the ships that are already old or in poor condition will be screened, and some of them will be kept for backup, and the rest will be scrapped.
None of these things are very problematic, and the biggest trouble for the sea wolf at the moment is the men of Chu Cailao who were scattered and fled into the mountains and forests of Nanri Island.
There are about three or four hundred of these people, and if they are not cleared out as soon as possible, they will become a huge hidden danger to the islanders of Nanri Island, and they will also threaten the safety of the Seawolf Village and the merchant area.
Therefore, after the end of the war, Yu Xiaotian endured the grief in his heart and ordered to immediately start searching the mountains and forests of Nanri Island to clean up these escaped Chu Cai's old subordinates.
In order to reduce the trouble, Lin Yiyang gave Yu Xiaotian an opinion, not suggesting that Yu Xiaotian take tough measures against these people, but it is better to adopt a soft policy, lure them out of the mountains and forests, and surrender directly.
Yu Xiaotian also felt that it was feasible to let Lin Yiyang arrange this matter, and it should be done as soon as possible, and the islanders on the island in the province did not dare to go home.
So Lin Yiyang selected a group of people from among the descendants, and gave them some orders, asking them to follow the sea wolf tribes who searched the mountains into the mountains and forests, and shouted to the accomplices hiding in the mountains and forests, telling them that now Chu Cailao has fled in defeat, and the sea wolves have annihilated or driven away all the ships of Chu Cailao nearby, and those of them who are hiding in the mountains and forests have no escape.
If they refuse to surrender, there are only two ways for them to go next, either to starve to death in the mountains and forests of Nanri Island, or to be searched and killed by the sea wolf's troops.
Now the big boss Yu gave them two days to think about it, as long as they went out of the mountains and forests to surrender, they would let them live, and they would never be harmed, so that they could come out and surrender quickly to save their lives.
And these Chu Cailao's captives are still shouting all over the mountains and fields, Chu Cailao is finished, they can't fight for Chu Cailao anymore, rather than starving to death in the mountains and forests or being caught and killed, it is better to descend the sea wolf.
This method is really very effective, those who were scattered and fled into the mountains and forests of Chu Cailao's subordinates are also hiding in the mountains to stare at the sea and the situation on the island, they have already seen that they have gone, most of the fleet either surrendered, or was killed by the sea wolf, Chu Cai Lao led a group of fleets, also fled, their ships have long been seen on the surrounding sea, only the patrol ship of the sea wolf is left cruising on the sea, now they are trapped in the mountains and forests on the island, to eat or not, to drink or not, hungry is to concentrate on the back, You can only dig up some grass roots, or catch some rats and hares to eat.
When they heard a large number of surrendered accomplices calling them all over the mountains, these Chu Cailao's subordinates who fled into the mountains and forests, after thinking for a while, knew that they were desperate at the moment, and surrender had become the only choice, so they walked out of the mountains and forests one by one, surrendered to the sea wolf tribes who searched the mountains nearby, and were taken to the prisoner camp for resettlement in batches.
In addition to the matter of captives and mountain clearing, there is also a big trouble after the war, that is, in this battle, the disposal of the bodies of the dead on both sides, for the dead sea wolf tribes, Yu Xiaotian of course is from the thick arrangement, on the island now he has chosen a pretty good feng shui treasure land, as the cemetery of the dead of the sea wolf tribe, to put it bluntly, it is a special cemetery for the sea wolf, all the dead in this battle, all the remains, carefully combed it, prepared a coffin for it, and transported it to the cemetery for burial.
But for the corpses of Chu Cai's old subordinates who were discarded everywhere, Yu Xiaotian would not give them this kind of generous treatment, this time Chu Cailao attacked Dazhai for several days, paid a very heavy price, at least more than 1,000 people were killed inside and outside the village, the weather was already very hot at this time, if these corpses were not disposed of as soon as possible, it was likely to cause a large-scale plague on the island.
Even if it is a simple burial of the corpses of these Chu Cai's old men, it will require a lot of manpower, and it is not only necessary to dig shallow pits, but must be buried deeply, so in order to speed up, Yu Xiaotian simply ordered people to find a few broken ships that were already useless among the captured ships, and ordered the captives to carry the bodies of these accomplices onto these ships, drag them to the sea far away from Nanri Island, pour some fire oil on the boat, and pile up some firewood, and then light a fire, cremate them on the sea, and wait until the ships are completely burned down. The remains of the bodies sank with the ship into the sea, and it was up to nature to dispose of them.
For their accomplices to end up with such a place to die, the captives are all close to each other, but there is no way, who makes them losers, the fate of the losers should be like this, they can't expect the sea wolf to treat them well, they can only accept this reality, they deserve to follow the wrong person, so they don't die and follow Chu Cai Lao to find trouble with the sea wolf, and they ended up like this.
However, compared to these dead accomplices, they think more about themselves, at least their lives are big, they are still alive at this time, and the next thing they should think about is how to survive and what awaits them in the future.
However, the conflict between the sea wolf and Chu Cailao still caused great losses to the islanders of Nanri Island, although the islanders hid in the sea wolf village in advance, the loss of personnel was very small, and they also hid the important things and food at home in advance, but after Chu Cailao's subordinates landed on the island, they searched all the villages on the island, and when they found nothing, they vented their anger on the houses of these islanders, and many villages were burned down by Chu Cailao's men.
When the islanders walked out of Dazhai and returned to their villages, all they saw were smoking ruins and devastation.
The biggest thing for the common people is food, clothing, housing and transportation, although their lives are saved, but the house they live in has become a ruin, so that they are still very sad, the villages on the island after the war, there is a crying and scolding voice, for a while I don't know what to do.
But crying and crying, this day always has to go on, Yu Xiaotian ordered the council to arrange Wang Hong's funeral first, unloaded Wang Hong's body from the Tiger Shark, transported it back to Dazhai, and let the boy carefully wash Wang Hong's body and put on new clothes.
Yu Xiaotian looked at Wang Hong's pale face, and couldn't help but cry again, so that people immediately set off for Tamsui Village to inform Fang An to return to Nanri Island quickly and participate in Wang Hong's funeral, after all, Fang An and Wang Hong are very close brothers, and Ma Feng is also Fang An's brother, this time something like this, if Fang An is not allowed to come back, it will definitely not be possible, and how to deal with Ma Feng, Yu Xiaotian also wants to hear Fang An's thoughts.
After arranging these miscellaneous matters, Yu Xiaotian took his personal guards and Lin Yiyang and others to inspect all parts of the island to see the property losses of the islanders on the island.
When he saw the villages that were burned to ruins, Yu Xiaotian couldn't help but grit his teeth again, and he couldn't wait to bring a group of Chu Cailao's subordinates to chop off the hatred in his heart on the spot.
The islanders now all know Yu Xiaotian, the big boss of the sea wolf, and as soon as they saw or heard that Yu Xiaotian was inspecting their village, they all cried and surrounded them, hulala knelt down, and thanked Xiaotian.
The reason why they are grateful to Xiaotian is because Yu Xiaotian did not hesitate to risk taking the risk of putting them all in the village for protection when Chu Cai Lao attacked this time, so that they saved their lives.
They islanders don't know how many people will die in the road this time, and how many women will be ruined by Chu Cailao and their men! It won't be like this, it's as simple as burning down their house.
So no matter how heavy their mood is now, with this, they are still grateful to Xiaotian, endure the grief and indignation of losing their residence, and rush to thank Yu Xiaotian.
