Chapter 197: Naval Victory

Smoke and flames of war rose everywhere on the sea, and the living people fluttered on the water and cried for help, rising and falling with the remains of the dead in battle.

In the fierce battle, the Tang Navy Division had completed the encirclement of more than 1,000 warships of the Japanese State.

It is hard to believe the fact that more than 100 large ships surrounded more than 1,000 small ships, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller.

The last right army in Sun Renshi's hands, more than 20 battleships, rushed into the center of the encirclement and lined up, cutting more than 1,000 battleships into two pieces.

On the decks on both sides of the ship, the soldiers held three-eyed guns in their hands and frantically fired a salvo at the small boat of the Japanese Kingdom in the center of the encirclement.

Seeing the dense Japanese boat, it was as if a piece of cake had been bitten down, and a blank space appeared in the middle, and then, there were more and more blank spaces.

On the flagship, Sun Renshi squinted at the Tang Army's battleship to complete the final cutting, slammed the railing of the building, looked up to the sky and laughed: "Victory!" ”

Yes, the battle is coming to an end, and the layman can clearly understand at a glance that the Japanese fleet is powerless to return to the sky.

Li Qinzai also watched this scene quietly from the side of the flagship, and a strange smile curled up on the corner of his mouth.

He did not like war, with the exception of the war against the Wa Kingdom.

He lived two lives, and he still remembered the history books vividly, and he knew that this battle was the first time that the Wa Kingdom waged war against the Central Plains Dynasty, and it ended in a fiasco.

However, Li Qinzai stood in the position of a thousand-year-old traveler, and although this naval battle was victorious, it was not enough.

If you haven't really been beaten, how can you remember it deeply?

If you want to fight a thousand years of peace in one war, this great victory in front of you is not enough.

…………

Of the more than 1,000 warships, only a few dozen escaped from the encirclement in the naval battle, and only a few thousand people survived.

After the war, the Tang army cleaned up the battlefield, and the Japanese who struggled on the sea and called for help waved their arms, but were mercilessly shot by the Tang soldiers on the battleship.

In those years, there were no Geneva Conventions, and whether to keep or kill prisoners of war depended on the mood of the soldiers.

It was too hard to catch a prisoner of war from the sea, and the cost of time and energy was too high, and the Japanese were just a group of uncivilized dwarf monkeys in the eyes of the Tang army, and there was no great need to fish them up, so it was easier to kill them with an arrow.

After the war, Li Qinzai was also busy counting war losses and war losses.

In fact, the losses in this naval battle were greater than the gains, because a poor country like the Wa State had no war profits left, and the cost paid by the Tang Army was much higher than that of the Wa State.

The final accounts were written and sent to Sun Renshi's cabin.

Sun Renshi casually flipped a few pages and closed them, and said, "The old man of Li Changshiji's account is trustworthy, so report it to Chang'an as such." ”

"Yes."

After the big victory, Sun Renshi's mood was obviously very good, and he smiled and said: "When I look back, the old man will write a credit book, and the merits of Jing Chu are ranked first, After returning to Chang'an, Your Majesty will rarely praise you, but the old man will congratulate you in advance." ”

Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "The general manager is the commander of the first army, your credit is the greatest, without your arrangement and strategizing, our army would have had such a big victory." ”

Sun Renshi laughed proudly, and this atmosphere of mutual praise was very pleasant.

"Do you have any suggestions for those Japanese prisoners of war?"

Li Qinzai thought for a while and said, "A group of wild monkeys, the lower officials think that they should make the best use of their needs. ”

"Oh? How to make the most of it? ”

"I have copper and iron mines in Datang, and if there is a shortage of laborers in the mines, it is better to let these prisoners of war do it, or build roads, repair bridges, and the prisoners of war do not need to be paid, and they don't even have to eat too much, just ensure that they don't starve to death, and it can be said that they are good and cheap."

Sun Renshi glared at him: "At a young age, his mind is very vicious, and he really treats prisoners of war as livestock?" ”

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "The lower official just suggested, it doesn't matter if the chief manager doesn't accept it." ”

Sun Renshi snorted, then touched his chin, and muttered: "But what you said is also reasonable, including Baekje Kingdom, there are a lot of prisoners of war, and it is estimated that there are one or two thousand, these people can't do nothing, but want our Datang to provide them with food and drink, right?" There is no such beautiful reason in the world. ”

Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "That's right, the prisoners of war are not like prisoners of war, could it be that they were captured alive but enjoyed happiness?" You have to be called by an animal. ”

Sun Renshi glanced at him: "What about the truth, it's such a truth, it can come out of your mouth, it always doesn't feel like human words." ”

"Then the lower official said it in another way?"

"What do you mean?"

"The lower officials thought that these uncivilized wild monkeys must undergo labor reform, use heavy labor to make them kings, serve the gifts of the state, feel the virtue of the Heavenly Empire, increase their wisdom, and be virtuous."

Sun Renshi smiled: "Hey, this is much more pleasing to the ear, do as you say." The group of monkeys were all sent back to Datang to mine. ”

Li Qinzai looked at Sun Renshi's happy face and said cautiously: "Xiaguan has another suggestion. ”

"Say."

"The Tang Dynasty sailors have the power of a great victory, and they have the advantage of a three-eyed gun, so it's better to ...... Taking advantage of the victory, he went east, landed on the island itself, and gave the Japanese country a thunderous blow, so as to teach the Japanese a hard lesson, so that they would not dare to covet our Tang Dynasty for thousands of years. ”

Sun Renshi's brows furrowed, his expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "No! ”

Li Qinzai continued unrelentingly: "The chief manager, the sailors are here, the victory is victorious, and the ...... of the New Year is great."

Sun Renshi interrupted him and said more and more seriously: "No! ”

Li Qinzai saw Sun Renshi's resolute expression, and suddenly knew that he couldn't move him about this matter, so he had to smile stupidly.

Sun Renshi said in a deep voice: "The order received by the Tang Navy Division is to annihilate the fleet of the Japanese State, a shame of the white river estuary, Your Majesty did not instruct to land on the Japanese mainland, the generals will be outside, and the military power in hand will be like walking on thin ice, don't do anything that is not in accordance with the rules, understand?" ”

Li Qinzai lowered his head and sighed: "Yes, Xiaguan understands." ”

Sun Renshi's tone softened, and he said softly: "In this battle, you are the first meritorious man, return to Chang'an, and have your own reward waiting for you, don't do anything out of the ordinary, otherwise the credit will be ruined, but you will be questioned, and your grandfather will not be able to protect you at that time." ”

Li Qinzai nodded hurriedly and said sincerely: "Xiaguan has always been an honest person, and he will never do anything out of the ordinary, so don't worry." ”

Sun Renshi smacked his lips, he didn't think much about it, but he actually said that he was an honest man, and now Sun Renshi was really a little uneasy.

"Now that this battle has been won, there is nothing important about Baekje, you ...... Bring a group of soldiers back to Datang, you are not needed here. Sun Renshi waved his hand.

"Governor, the people of Baekje need my ......"

"No, they don't."

"The chief manager is amiable and approachable, and the subordinate is reluctant to let you go."

"No, you will."

…………

It has been three days since the complete inventory of the battle damage has been completed.

Sun Renshi suddenly issued an order, ordering Li Qinzai to lead half of the sailors back to Tang Dengzhou.

The Japanese fleet had been wiped out, and the remnants of Baekje had been defeated by Yoo In-rail, and had fled north to the border of Goguryeo.

To be honest, the fighting in Baekje, both on water and land, has basically come to an end.

This time, the mouth of the Baijiang River was raided by the Japanese state, many Tang soldiers were temporarily hastily formed into the army, many government soldiers and naval troops were already farming households, since the war is over, those temporarily transferred veterans naturally want to return to the countryside.

Especially now that it is the beginning of spring, spring sowing is a busy time, and Datang's labor is indispensable.

After the victory, Sun Renshi immediately ordered half of the sailors to return to Dengzhou, and the first person on the order was Li Qinzai.

There is no way, Li Qinzai's expression and eyes are too terrible, Sun Renshi feels that this thing seems to be clearly about doing something, and I don't know why he hates the Wa Kingdom so much, a naval battle is not enjoyable, and he actually has the idea of landing on the Wa State itself.

We must hurry up and drive this product back to Datang, otherwise I really don't know what big trouble he will cause.

Under the constant urging of Sun Renshi's generals, Li Qinzai reluctantly boarded the battleship and bid farewell to Sun Renshi, who was seeing him off on the shore.

The main sails of dozens of battleships disappeared on the horizon, and Sun Renshi breathed a sigh of relief.

finally sent this time-varying bomb away, as long as the sailor carries him back to Datang, no matter what trouble this thing causes, in short, it is none of his business as the commander of the sailor.

Fortunately, Baekje will be peaceful from now on, and in two months, when Liu Ren's track has completely swept the land route, he Sun Renshi will be able to return to Chang'an in a beautiful scenery and enjoy the joy and glory of returning victoriously.

The sky seems to be much brighter.
