Great Song Pirate

Chapter 453 Continue to prepare for battle
The Fubo army started on the water, so they relied on ships. In the past, their ships were mainly plundered, and then they were refitted by themselves. Since the establishment of Yangzhou Shipyard and Hangzhou Shipyard, they gradually have their own full-time ships. The warships played a big role in improving their combat power, and most of the Jiangbei seaships built in the early stage were basically allocated to Shuimao and Fangshu, and the number was far below their development speed. Now The shipyards in Danshui Village can progress so fast, and if the three places are built at the same time, it can play a very good role in protecting their fleet. Xu Yi also has nothing to say about Gong Zhen's performance.

Chang Le briefly introduced some of the things he was responsible for. He was mainly responsible for the new resettlement site. In the past six months, he led his craftsmen to choose some places to build dozens of villages, and helped Gao Xu He has taken on a lot of affairs and lightened Gao Xu's burden. Now he has become Gao Xu's right-hand man. The two of them work together quite tacitly. With this group of people here, Xu Yi really has nothing to worry about!

"Diao Bin! After you came back, why did you stay here instead of going back to Liangzhe Road?" Xu Yi asked Diao Bin.

Diao Bin quickly replied: "The humble job is not long since I came here. After I came back last time, I went back to Liangzhe, and this time I came from Dulong Island!"

"Oh? Then tell me how the water cat is doing now?" Xu Yi asked anxiously.

"Reporting to my lord, brother Shuimao's injury has begun to stabilize under his treatment after he was rushed away from Miracle Doctor Yang. If there is no accident, Miracle Doctor Yang said that he will recover by the end of the year, but Brother Shuimao's left The arm is gone! Other injured people have basically recovered from minor injuries, and many of the seriously injured have also been rescued, but there are still some brothers who have not survived! I came this time to report the news to the lord! The government on the side of Liangzhe Road also started to arrest us, and the navy in Zhoushan began to haunt the waterway frequently, which made it difficult for me to do anything. Now I have withdrawn the brothers on the island to Dulong Island to strengthen the defense there. , only the cargo fleet is still working!" Diao Bin briefly reported the situation.

Only then did Xu Yi realize how serious the water cat's injuries were, and even lost an arm. His heart was filled with anger, and he asked, "Do you know how many brothers' ships the water cat lost in this battle?"

Diao Bin then replied: "It has been counted, and the subordinates of Shui Mao have lost at least nearly 3000 people, and the number of ships has reached more than 70, including more than 30 warships of various types, and more than 40 cargo ships. Except for Brother Mao’s guard ships, basically the entire army was wiped out! Big Brother Shui Mao blamed himself for this, and lay there without saying a word all day. Fortunately, the brothers watched closely, otherwise he would have committed suicide Yes! I have already found out that during the first battle that day, the Japanese colluded with each other and attacked Cancer Island at night without any preparations. Many brothers were resting on the shore. After discovering something was wrong, it was already too late. The Japanese gathered hundreds of ships of all kinds, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses invaded the island. Later, the brothers tried their best to cover Brother Water Cat. They regained the flagship and several ships. The rest of the brothers died under the sword of the Japanese! The Japanese also took the opportunity to pull out several strongholds near them, and there were very few survivors! My lord! We can’t let these brothers die in vain! Please, my lord Send troops, let the Japanese have a taste of our strength! Take revenge for those brothers who died!"

After Xu Yi listened to his words, his lungs were already blown out of anger. It took him a long time to take a deep breath to suppress the anger, waved Diao Bin back to his seat, and then said to these brothers present: "I have my own discretion in this matter, you don't have to Worry, I will ask the Japanese to recover this debt, but now that we have just returned, we have to deal with many things, and now that the weather has turned cold, if we go to the Japanese country, we need to buy winter clothes and other things, this matter can not be rushed, After we are ready, we must make sure that nothing will go wrong before attacking!"

Everyone nodded one after another. Xu Yi's actions showed that he was very stable now, without the impetuousness and impulsiveness of the past, it was indeed safer to do so.

Xu Yi then briefly introduced the battle situation and what he had gained to the troops here. Such a generous gain made everyone excited. In fact, even if Xu Yi didn't say anything, everyone had a general idea of ​​the battle situation I understand that the crews on the ships that often travel between the two places have already brought the situation there back here. Basically, people here are always paying attention to Xu Yi's battle in Annan, but today they heard Xu Yi with their own ears. After saying it again, I was more sure about these things.

After finishing speaking, Xu Yi continued to order: "Gao Xu will probably be busy for a while, this time we come back to transport all kinds of materials back, it is very huge, you have to arrange for people to receive it, and the valuables have to be transported to the chicken coop All the horses, war elephants, seeds, etc. are stored here. As for the Champa rice seeds, they must be distributed to the chicken cage village to ensure that this kind of rice will be planted in the next season! In addition, for the people here to do business Don't limit them, let them use whatever skills they have, as long as someone wants them, they just do it! Also, find some people who are good at handling government affairs, and send them to Toulon immediately to assist Qian Gui in handling the affairs there , train as many people in this field as possible, we will need more and more people like this in the future, you might as well let those orphans who are a little older join your staff, learn to deal with government affairs, and reserve more people for the future!"

Gao Xu immediately agreed: "Don't worry, my lord. In fact, there are quite a few talented people among our immigrants, and there are also many people who have studied. I have already counted these scholars during this period of time, and gathered all these scholars. We asked them to assist our people in dealing with some local government affairs, and found some quite capable people. We also took care of these people, moved them to the stockade, and gave them generous salaries. My subordinates are not in short supply right now. I will arrange for Brother Qian to go to Toulon as soon as possible. Cao Xian is a good candidate. After he was rescued by the lord last time, he stayed here to work. He is very good at dealing with the affairs of the dock, and he is also familiar with Qian Gui, so it would be most suitable for him to take someone there to help Qian Gui! As for the children, I think it is not possible for the time being, because they are old enough to make trouble To join the Fubo Army as a soldier, I don't think Radu will be able to do it!"

After Xu Yi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little funny. The same goes for these children. It's really strange that they all have to join the army without being civil servants, but he is not disappointed. Wu's style is better. At this time, what he needs more is a soldier, so he nodded with a smile: "Cao Xian is indeed a good candidate. He used to be a ship merchant, and he knows everything about the port and the shipping department. Nanyang's situation really couldn't be more suitable, so it's settled like this, give him some capable men, and set off for Toulon as soon as possible to help Qian Gui!"

Gao Xu immediately agreed and retreated to his seat. Xu Yi then said to the generals who went out this time: "After you come back this time, let the brothers rest for a while. You should report the meritorious personnel as soon as possible and hand them in. I am going on the expedition. As I said before, we must keep our promises, and we must not break our promises to the soldiers. All personnel with military exploits will be rewarded generously. In addition, no one will be rewarded accordingly for this expedition. They will never be treated badly. For None of the brothers who died in battle should be forgotten, and their families should be generously compensated. Those brothers who died in battle without family members should also erect monuments to commemorate them, so that our people will remember their names. Anyone who has contributed to our Fubo Army , we will never forget! For those injured, we must give the best treatment and let them return to the team as soon as possible. Those who are disabled and cannot return to the team must be handed over to Gao Xu for proper placement, and they must not be treated badly. Do you remember? ?”

All the generals were secretly moved from the bottom of their hearts. Xu Yi never forgot their brothers who were born and died, and never said whether he was buying people's hearts. Even if they were, they were willing to give their lives to him!Everyone stood up and obeyed the order, promising to complete the task he had entrusted as soon as possible.

Xu Yi then ordered: "Sun Hai! After you hand over the matter of the navy training camp, you don't have to worry about it anymore. After the brothers of the navy have a rest, concentrate on integrating the fleet, including the next step Kong Qingxi and Wang Feng. After the fleet comes over, we will reorganize and conduct drills in a unified way. We will sort out the experience and lessons we have gained from this expedition. We must let everyone know how to fight the naval battles in the future! No more mistakes, and order the ships Anything that needs to be repaired should be overhauled as soon as possible, and what should be added can be added, don’t be stingy, and ensure that all ships are in the best condition and can go out at any time! The rest of the navy will cooperate with Sun Hai’s actions and make no mistakes!"

The generals of the navy immediately stood up and responded to the order. Now they are all the most experienced naval combat masters in the Fubo Army. Knowing that Xu Yi's arrangement means that it may not be too long before he goes to Japan, he can't help feeling a little Can't hold back the excitement.

"Lin Xiong, you can stay here too. I will tell Brother Xue at the Escort Bureau to arrange another man to replace you. I think you are definitely not willing to go back. The jumping helpers and archers in the navy here will be handed over to you. Usually, they are under the command of the captains of the ships. After landing, you will lead them as a reserve army of the infantry to assist the infantry in their operations! With the archers and rattan players as the main force, we will practice together with Sun Hai during this period!" Xu Yi then told Lin Xiong ordered.

Lin Xiong stood up to take the order beamingly. What he was afraid of now was that Xu Yi would drive him back to Hangzhou. After listening to his words, his heart was completely put in his stomach, and he was extremely happy!

"Zaixing and Gao Jun, you have to work hard. You can't rest during this time. The infantry has made outstanding achievements in this expedition and has accumulated a lot of experience. Moreover, the young soldiers in these infantry have also fully matured. Yes, it is already very useful now. I think Zaixing and Gao Jun will organize these soldiers who already have sufficient combat experience into the new army. They can be promoted and reused, so that they can pass on their experience to the new recruits as soon as possible, and form a Habayashi army to be used as our main force. In addition, a thousand elites will be selected from the newly-built cavalry and incorporated into the guards. Be ready to go out at any time! Another thing is that the artillery will continue to expand, and the artillery will be established directly under the Habayashi Army to accompany it for support, and this will be a hard work for you two!" Xu Yi ordered Yang Zaixing and Gao Jun again.

"The humble official takes orders! Please rest assured, my lord!" The two immediately got up to accept the order. The two of them had no objection to Xu Yi's arrangement. If Yi didn't arrange it, they would do the same.

"Gong Zhen and Chang Le, you two can't take a breath during this time, concentrate on overhauling the ships that came back with me this time, and at the same time, the ships on the berth can't stop working, to ensure that all ships are in the best condition, Don’t be particular about the ship plank that needs to be replaced, it must be replaced, and the ship maggots on the ship should be completely removed, if there is not enough manpower, I will transfer some manpower from Jilongzhai to support you!" Xu Yi then ordered Gong Zhen and the two of them. .

"Humble job! Please rest assured, my lord!"

"That's all we're talking about today. Please arrange for the brothers to go ashore to rest as soon as possible, unload the horses, etc. as soon as possible, take care of them properly, and sail the boat into the shipyard for repairs. I will leave these things to you!" Xu Yi looked at the basics Everything that should be said has been said, so I told everyone.

Everyone got up and took the order to leave the Juyi Hall, and started to get busy on their own. No one disturbed Xu Yi anymore. They all knew that the wives were also waiting for him to go home. After arranging their own affairs, they got together and held a private banquet to celebrate !
Xu Yi dismissed Li Bo and asked him to take care of his affairs. Li Bo nodded and agreed, and immediately ran to Yang Zaixing and Gao Jun to select the elite personnel he needed to form his special team. Anyway, Xu Yi After Yi came back, he didn't have to worry about the safety here. It was enough to have Daniel following Xu Yi.

Under the escort of Daniel and other personal guards, Xu Yi brought the gifts he got from Annan and other places this time, and went back to his house in anxiety. Before he reached the door, he heard the maid running in and shouting: "The lord is back! The lord is back!"

Then he heard the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping in the yard, Xu Yi shook his head and smiled, and after signaling to the guards standing in front of the door, he stepped into the yard, and a beautiful person flew towards him In his arms, he no longer cared whether there were other people behind Xu Yi!
Daniu and other guards immediately turned back automatically and turned their backs to the yard, pretending they didn't see anything. It's not like they haven't seen such a scene before, and they automatically shielded it!

Xu Yi gently patted Yingchun's smooth back in his arms, and said with a soft smile, "Okay! Didn't I come back now? You have lost a lot of weight, do you miss me?"

Yingchun broke out of his arms with tears in her eyes, rolled her eyes at him coquettishly and said, "You are so beautiful! I have already gotten used to it! But you are much thinner now, you should take a good rest when you come back this time!"

Xu Yi smiled and nodded in agreement, then stretched out his arms to Yiqing, Cuiyu and others who were watching him with tears behind Yingchun and said with a smile: "Now we are at home, come! Let me hug you all!"

Daniel and the other guards were sweating again!And Yiqing was the first to jump into Xu Yi's arms, pinched his chest heavily with his small hands, and complained in a low voice: "You bad guy, you have been gone for half a year, and you don't care about us people at all, look at me Screw you to death!" Although it was a reproach, there was still a lot of affection in her words, Xu Yi still liked it, he secretly screwed her chest, and said in a low voice: "I can't do it every day. Thinking about it! Hehe!"

Yiqing was slighted by him, her pretty face turned red immediately, and she slapped his hand reproachfully, but she was very happy in her heart, Xu Yi's hungry look at least showed that she was still very attractive in his heart Yes!Thinking that there were Cuiyu and Yuehong behind, she didn't lie in Xu Yi's arms for a while, broke free and stood aside.

Xu Yi hugged Cuiyu and Yuehong gently again, both of them secretly wiped their tears in his arms, and after being comforted by him, they wiped away their tears with a smile and stood aside, Xu Yi hugged Xiao again Sijia and Xiao Rulong harassed the tender faces of the two little guys with his beard, making the two little guys giggle and laugh. Heart, the little guy seemed to be able to feel the difference between Xu Yi and others, and soon became close.

"Turn your heads over here, hurry up and bring over the gifts I prepared, and show them to the wives and my little ones!" Xu Yi shouted to the guards who turned their backs to them.

Daniu hurriedly brought over the things in his hands with a few guards, and handed them to several wives respectively. These parrots are rare items, and they were often taught to talk on the road. When they were delivered at this time, they immediately chattered Quack asked about hello, which surprised several people, and they took it and teased it one after another, but Xiao Rulong and Xiao Sijia were immediately attracted by the clever little monkey, and Xiao Sijia stretched out her hand timidly. Touched the little monkey, and saw that the little monkey was very cute and let her touch it, so she became more courageous, stretched out her hand and hugged the little monkey in her arms, and quickly found something to feed it, very busy, Xiaoru Long Ye babbled and asked Xu Yi to hug and try to touch the little monkey, and there was a burst of laughter in the yard.

(Depressed! Depressed! Although I have worked hard, I only coded [-] characters, but I still haven’t got the update ticket! Sigh again!)
