Chapter 594 Big defeat or great victory?

After doing some ideological work with Xiao Xu, Shen Yi then discussed some specific work issues with him.

For example, items to sell in the West, what to do when you get there, and what talents to recruit.

Of course, the two people, Shen Yi and Xu Fu, can discuss things on a strategic level. How to do it, or what to do, needs Xu Fu to communicate with those foreigners.

Shen Yi didn't want Xu Fu to go on this first trip to the West because there were too many unknown factors, but when this business route matured, Xu Fu could take Shen Yi's trip to the West.

It is best to help abduct some scientists back to solve the problem of insufficient basic science in China.

Although basic science is not very useful for the application, but this kind of foundation work is of great merit. Since Shen Yi has some abilities, he should always make some attempts.

Even if we can't see modern science sprouting in this land, and can create some soil for modern science, Shen Yi is very happy to do it.

After meeting with Xu Fu, Shen Yi led him to meet those Franji people again. After getting the line, Shen Yi stopped asking about this matter, but left the specific affairs to Xu Fu for details. to do.

After arranging Xu Fu's handover with these foreigners, Shen Yi met Zhou Futai twice in private. After the two finalized the regulations of the Shibo Department, Shen Yi left Lin'an.

Although Lin'an is a prosperous place, Shen Yi's foundation is in Yueqing after all, and he still wants to return to Yueqing to take charge of the overall situation.

Lin'an is [-] miles away from Yueqing, Master Shen did not travel fast, and it took him six or seven days to get back to Yueqing.

At this time, it was the autumn of Hongde's ninth year.

After Shen Yi returned to Yueqing, he first took a look at the "Shen Garden" under construction.

Because the craftsmen who built it were all craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, or the apprentices of these craftsmen in Zhejiang, the construction progress of Shen Garden was beyond Shen Yi's expectation. At this time, the main body of the whole manor was basically completed. Only some details and internal landscaping are left, and the whole garden is completed.

Although there is paint in this era, there is not so much glue after all, and there is not much decoration pollution. After the manor is completed, it can be lived in after half a month of drying.

As the first house designed by Shen Yi himself, Shen Yi is still very concerned about this Shen garden. He wandered around in the garden for more than half an hour, until someone sent him a piece of information. He left the sinking garden with a dark face, and went straight to the anti-Japanese army camp.

The intelligence system of the Anti-Japanese Army was completely in charge of Shen Yi, or the Di Baosi, so they didn't know that Shen Yi had returned, until Shen Yi arrived at the gate of the Anti-Japanese Army camp, the new commander of the Anti-Japanese Army, Ling Su Only then did he bring three thousand households to the gate of Daying in a panic, and bowed respectfully to Shen Yi to salute.

Shen Yi waved his hand lightly, expressionless: "There is no need to be polite, let's talk in the camp."

Ling Su responded respectfully, and then walked behind Shen Yi.

While patrolling the camp, Master Shen said, "I haven't been in Yueqing for a month, so nothing happened in the army?"

Ling Su shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you are still in the southeast, and nothing will happen to our anti-Japanese army."

Shen Yi curled his lips: "I don't know where you learned your flattery."

Ling Su lowered his head slightly: "This subordinate is just telling the truth."

After Shen Yi patrolled the camp, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Xue Wei should be back in these two days?"

"Yes."

Ling Su lowered his head slightly and said: "Deputy Marshal Xue sent back the news of his triumph a few days ago, and he estimated that he would lead his team back to Yueqing tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. This time they went south to Funing Prefecture, where they fought hard against the local pirates along the coast. , The Japanese pirates along the coast of Funing Prefecture have basically been cleaned up."

Shen Yi glanced back at Ling Su, and asked lightly: "Did the fight go well?"

Ling Su lowered his head slightly and said, "My lord, there were some small twists and turns, but overall it went smoothly."

Master Shen looked calm.

"Overall, it's going well. Why don't you continue to go south to Fuzhou Prefecture after cleaning up Funing Prefecture, but return to Yueqing to recuperate?"

Ling Su was speechless.

He raised his head and glanced at Shen Yi, and after a long time, he sighed silently, and said, "My lord, the battle in Funing Prefecture is indeed going well, but there are local rebels colluding with Japanese pirates to bring in the troops of Deputy Commander Xue." In the encirclement, although Deputy Commander Xue led his troops to break through and wiped out all the Japanese pirates, the two thousand-household battalions under his command suffered heavy casualties."

"That's why I went back to Yueqing to recuperate first."

Shen Yi was expressionless: "Don't think that Xue Wei was promoted by me, so I covered him up. What can I say? How many people were injured?"

"More than 200 people were killed."

Ling Su had no choice but to smile wryly: "There are about this many serious injuries, and there are also many minor injuries. However, Vice Marshal Xue has not reported the specific number to his subordinates, and his subordinates only received the news yesterday, and they are preparing to report to you, my lord. report..."

Shen Yi narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "I just received the news."

"Two days ago, the Dibao Division sent me a letter, saying that Xue Wei had a great victory in Funing Prefecture, but there were some casualties. It was not until just now that the Dibao Division sent me the detailed figures!"

"There are more than five hundred people killed and seriously injured!"

Master Shen got angry in a rare way: "How do you plan to report this battle? Is it a big defeat or a great victory?!"

Ling Su shivered. He lowered his head cautiously and said, "My lord, although this battle was not fought by my subordinates, my subordinates still have to say a few words for Vice Marshal Xue. He is in Funing Prefecture this time. That's right, there were nearly 2000 Japanese pirates, and they were accidentally surrounded by Japanese pirates. Although the casualties were not light afterwards, they still killed [-] Japanese pirates, even if it is not a great victory..."

"It is definitely not a big defeat."

Shen Yi took several deep breaths before he calmed down. He glanced at Ling Su and said with a muffled voice, "If we hit Beiji Island, there will be less than five hundred casualties?"

Severely injured wounded basically lost their ability to fight.

There is no essential difference between death and death in battle. Even if one life is recovered, many of them will be disabled.

"Originally, I already wanted to entrust the military affairs to the two of you, and do some court affairs by myself. By the way, I will help you stabilize the rear and provide military supplies, but I have only left Yueqing for a month."

"You are too worrying."

Shen Yi took a deep breath, and said slowly: "This time when Xue Wei comes back, he will be relegated to a thousand households for use, and he will not be allowed to do the work of suppressing Japanese in Fujian. You will personally take the remaining three thousand households battalions. Go south to clean up the pirates in Fujian."

"Before the end of the year, we must try our best to finish this errand."

Master Shen glanced at Ling Su, and said slowly: "If you don't succeed, I will have to lead the army myself to clean up Fujian."

Ling Su let out a long sigh, bowed his head deeply to Shen Yi and said, "Yes, this subordinate understands!"

With his hands behind his back, Master Shen continued to inspect the anti-Japanese army camp: "I'll be living in the camp for the past two days, waiting for Xue Wei to come back. I'd like to see how he will explain to me."

Ling Su lowered his head slightly, and said yes respectfully.

When he raised his head to look at Shen Yi again, Master Shen had already walked more than ten steps.

The commander of the anti-Japanese army rushed up in two or three steps, and then sighed silently in his heart.

That silly boy Xue Wei.

I'm afraid I'm going to suffer a bit.
