Chapter Seventy-Seven: Re-entering the Golden Moon
As for the other results, Lin Feng looked at it casually, and then focused his attention on his own battle damage on the last page, although no battleship was sunk, but there were nearly 100 casualties, which is almost equivalent to one-tenth of the total number of the navy.
The two seriously injured battleships had to be towed back to Crescent Harbor for overhaul, the three lightly injured could barely follow the fleet, and the dead and wounded crew sailors had to be sent back to Nanlin Island first, so Lin Feng gave Jackson an order to return to Crescent Harbor first.
Lin Feng deliberately went to meet Tim Angola on the captured "Golden Moon", looking at this depressed middle-aged nobleman, Lin Feng also warned himself in his heart, "Don't get carried away with your complacency, and make every decision carefully." ”
After that, Lin Feng commended Kivica and other meritorious personnel who captured the "Golden Moon" and another enemy warship on the spot, and promised that all marines who participated in the ship capture operation could obtain the status of a free man after returning home.
As for Kivica and other people who have made great contributions, if they are willing to continue to serve in the army, Lin Feng will be awarded official military positions according to the size of their merits, and Kivica was canonized by Lin Feng on the spot as a hereditary knight of Nanlin Island and received five hundred acres of land.
Kivica Nande, who had almost reached the sky in one step, knelt down on one knee to Lin Feng at that time, and shouted his oath of allegiance to Lin Feng and the Baron of Nanlin Island in the loudest voice. Lin Feng appreciated his behavior, and he also had the idea of continuing to cultivate him in his heart.
With the return of the Nanlin Island Fleet's victory, all the lords on Nanlin Island spontaneously celebrated and carnivaled from Nanlimburg to Sunset Fort to Crescent Harbor.
Lin Feng handed over the aftermath of the war to Lin Nabu, and he discussed with Jackson and others about entering Jinyue Port again. This time, Lin Feng will lead the fleet directly into the Golden Moon Harbor, showing off his strength with the power of a great victory, so as to increase Lin Feng's bargaining chips for entering the Golden Moon City Noble Council.
In order to be able to deter the Marquis of Jinyue and the other nobles of Jinyue Harbor, in addition to the two battleships that were seriously damaged and overhauled, the other six battleships, plus the two intact battleships captured and the "Nanfeng" and "Breaking Waves", they will once again form a mixed fleet of ten ships to escort Lin Feng into Jinyue Harbor.
Marquis of Golden Moon's Golden Moon fleet only had six warships left, even if he still had some large armed merchant ships, but in a short period of time, he would no longer pose a threat to Lin Feng, even so, Lin Feng still felt that it was necessary to use enough force to deter those who fought his idea to make those who fought his idea look good.
......
Marquis Jinyue's Mansion, Marquis Jinyue, who heard the bad news, has been sitting in his study for a while, he has asked each of his henchmen who fled back to the battleship, and the naval battle information collected all shows a problem, the commander-in-chief of the fleet he personally selected buried most of his fleet.
"I don't know anyone," Marquis Jinyue lamented in his heart, "My hard work was ruined by a fool like this, why didn't I find out earlier?"
The other two real power marquis of Jinyue Harbor also received the information of this naval battle, although they were happy that the Marquis of Jinyue had suffered such a big loss, but they were also full of vigilance against the baron of Nanlin Island who could defeat the Jinyue fleet, "Will this baron who suddenly appeared become another threat?"
The news of this naval battle that broke out in the waters of Golden Moon Harbor quickly spread, and it caused a huge shock among the various classes of Golden Moon Harbor, this Baron of Nanlin Island named Lin Feng made his first public appearance so strong, and his name was widely circulated among the crowd in just a few days.
At this time, Lin Feng's mixed fleet slowly sailed into Jinyue Port, of course, Lin Feng strictly followed and implemented the laws of the empire, and officially submitted an application for berthing to the port affairs officer of Jinyue Port, well, all kinds of taxes and fees were paid in full.
The port officer wanted to slap the application back, but even his backstage, Marquis Jinyue, didn't have the confidence to do so now, so he didn't dare to do it, so he could only "do business" and follow the regulations.
When the Marquis of Jinyue knew the news, he, who had always maintained self-cultivation in front of his subordinates, smashed the cup in front of them for the first time, "How can this be reasonable, this is a naked provocation, he didn't even change the name of the 'Golden Moon' battleship, and was openly incorporated into his fleet?"
Can Lin Feng tell him that he forgot about this because he was in a hurry? As for Jackson and Cook, they didn't remind Lin Feng, but they simply thought that the name of this battleship was "Golden Moon" and it sounded good, and there was no need to change it.
The first thing Lin Feng did when he entered Golden Moon City was to go to the station of the original Changfan Chamber of Commerce, and he didn't care who it belonged to now, he directly blew people away, let Philip take it back again, and then let Philip once again set up a big signboard to recruit refugees, well, it was directly revealed that it was recruited for the Baron of Nanlin Island.
In order to cooperate with Philip's recruitment work, Lin Feng specially sent Kivica to assist him, and those who dared to make trouble were directly taken down, and after Lin Feng obtained the seat of the Golden Moon Port Noble Council, he would exercise the aristocratic jurisdiction over them.
However, Lin Feng predicted that there would not really be a short-sighted second person to find trouble, he sent Kivica to assist Philip, in fact, there was still an important task for him to complete, that is, to investigate those fake "relatives and friends" in the last Changfan Chamber of Commerce incident.
In Lin Feng's words to Kivika, "The person who does things for him can't die in vain, and he must find out those executors who have 'bloodstained' on their hands, and avenge them by the way, and restore their reputation by the way." After all, "accomplices of slave traders" is not a good reputation.
Lin Feng's actions not only earned him a wave of prestige among his subordinates, "Lord Lord is so responsible for the outsiders who do things for him, as his direct subordinates, what do we have to worry about?"
Even after Philip knew about Lin Feng's arrangement, he also felt a little in his heart, since "he was shot while lying down", to say that he didn't have any complaints about Lin Feng was pure lies, and now, he felt the need to change the tradition of his own chamber of commerce.
After Philip's ancestors founded the Changfan Chamber of Commerce, they always adhered to a principle, that is, "keep a distance from all nobles," and his ancestors did this to avoid being implicated in the struggle between nobles, and secondly, to prevent the Chamber of Commerce from becoming a puppet controlled by the nobles and losing the autonomy of the Chamber of Commerce.
