The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 106 Again and again
The fire continued to burn for 2 hours, and the Japanese ships were destroyed, and more than 5000 burnt Japanese were captured, including Takeda Taro and Kinoshita Tengyou-kun.

The two of them were lucky, their hair was burned off, and there was nothing serious about it.

Li Zongbing and Gao Huaiyu joined forces smoothly, looking at the towering walls on the island, Li Zongbing murmured: Actually, there is no need for them to come to the rescue, they have such an iron wall.

Of course, Gao Huaiyu is not that ignorant person, he yelled at Li Zongbing one by one.

"Thanks to Mr. Li, you brought your brothers to help. We fought this battle beautifully, and we didn't lose a single soldier!"

"These bastard Japanese even burned our boat. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to go anywhere here!"

With such good words, this battle was indeed fought happily, without a single soldier, this is the highest victory gesture of a general in battle.

On Monkey Island, Gao Huaiyu served Li Zongbing a large table of seafood, palm-sized fresh shield fish, which made everyone eat happily. The shield fish on this shield fish island really lived up to its reputation.

When Mr. Li left, he left five ships and hundreds of barrels of kerosene for Gao Huaiyu, and took away five thousand captives. He can go to Beijing to offer captives. His Majesty the Emperor must not write him down. Pen.

Gao Huaiyu was very curious about this extremely lethal black oil, and said, if they had this thing in the first place, they would have killed these people long ago, so why would they just stick to this high wall? It doesn't move.

The good news of the war was one step ahead of the army, and hurried to the capital.

Although he had predicted it earlier, he didn't expect to win so quickly and thoroughly this time. Xia Hongdi called Hei Wa, and the two celebrated happily in the study all afternoon.

Looking at the beaming emperor, Hei Wa asked, "Your Majesty, what do you plan to do with these prisoners?"

Xia Hongdi was puzzled: "According to the usual practice, kill their leader, and then send the other captives to mine!"

"Then what should we do with the defeated Wa country?"

"That depends on whether they admit defeat or not. If they don't admit defeat, they will continue to fight. If they admit defeat, they will come to seek peace and pay tribute to Da Xia!"

"Then we're at a loss!" Hei Wa looked at Xia Hongdi seriously.

"Tell me, why did you lose money?" After being beaten and disabled, and so many people were captured, how could it still be a loss?Xia Hongdi humbly asked for advice.

"First of all, let's talk about Shieldfish Island. A dozen of our ships have been burned. That ship cost us 20 taels of silver. How much is it?"

Xia Hongdi nodded, most of the money came from the dividends of the cement workshop, which he allocated.

"Secondly, our brothers on Shieldfish Island were hit by shells as soon as they came up, so it doesn't cost money to build the city walls and gates?"

It seems very reasonable. I heard that cannons are used, so there must be some noise.

"What's the most important thing? Let's send troops to Shieldfish Island. The food and grass for the tens of thousands of troops is also money for traveling!"

That's right, that's right, the army has not moved, and the food and grass go first. The food and grass weapons are not cheap.

"And the people who caused all these consequences are the people of the Wa country. We have relieved our hatred by killing a few leaders. However, there are many generals and leaders in the Wa country. We didn't make any money, did we?"

"Hearing what you said, I think it's really the case. Then tell me, what can I do to make it worthwhile?"

"Hey, Your Majesty, the Wa country must be made to bleed. Let's set a price for the captives and see if they are willing to come and redeem them. Our other losses should also be counted clearly!"

"Besides, if the war is lost, we have to pay compensation and give us a large sum of money so that we can forgive them. Otherwise, what sincerity is there in admitting defeat? Verbal surrender is not as real as gold and silver!"

Xia Hongdi was so happy that he went crazy, he slapped his hands and laughed loudly:

"Hahaha, well said! Aiqing, why do you have such a brain? I think you should work in the household department. Really, those old men, apart from staring at my private treasury all day long, want to I keep spending money, all of them just thinking about saving money, and I don’t know how to raise money at all!”

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. If I come up with such a bad idea, I will not be drowned by their spittle. Hehe, I still prefer the present day."

"Understood, I understand, I won't take you out as a target at this time. In the future, if you have such an idea, you should come out quickly. I will find someone to take the blame for you."

The two discussed for a while, and after adding the details, Uncle Zhongqin returned to the mansion with a bunch of rewards.

Xia Hongdi was so happy this time, he got a good idea, and thinking that Uncle Zhongqin had also mentioned the fire oil, he rewarded him with a total of 3000 taels of gold.

The couple counted the gold in the space at night. How could the gold be so reassuring?

"Husband, tell me that you will go to court, will your bad idea be scolded to death by those scholar-bureaucrats?"

"Absolutely, it is necessary, but I believe that they will all be cleaned up by the emperor in the end, hahaha!"

"It's so relieved, think about our Eight-Nation Allied Forces meeting, ah! In modern history, the money lost is much older. This meeting, let's copy homework!"

"Haven't the Japanese people admit defeat yet? They have to admit defeat before negotiating!"

"If you don't admit defeat, keep fighting. Now I don't know how much fire oil the emperor has stockpiled for the shield fish island. If Gao Huaiyu still can't win with this explosive package, then he can dismiss get out of class!"

On the morning of the second day, when Xia Hongdi announced the battle report, the court was full of enthusiasm. It was a good fight. Although I don't know how this battle was won, who can't sing the hymn?

He also heard that Li Zongbing would go to the capital to offer prisoners in the near future, and the generals were eager to see the prisoners, as if they had been dosed with stimulants.

Finally, a minister asked, how to deal with this prisoner of war?
Xia Hongdi: "Lock it up first, the Japanese may send troops to come again, wait and see, if you want to continue fighting, I can only accompany you, if you don't fight, let them come to the capital to talk!"

When everyone thought about it, it was also the same reason. This is the first time the two countries have fought, and the follow-up is still unknown.

In the Dongying Dynasty, after more than half a month, these two families of military generals brought nearly 10 people, and never returned, which inevitably caused a major earthquake in the court.

The emperor did not have military power in his hands, and the opinions in the court were not unified. Most people supported sending people to investigate, and some people were pessimistic and wanted to seek peace.

The families of Takeda Taro and Kinoshita Touyou-kun strongly advocated additional troops for support, and Kinoshita Toujiro also got better. He had the best relationship with his younger uncle, applied for war, and vowed to bring his uncle back.

But right now, the soldiers of Takeda and Kinoshita Teng have been taken away. Now, apart from hiring ronin warriors, they have to borrow soldiers from other aristocratic families.

In addition to stamping and signing the emperor's signature to express his agreement, he couldn't even help with money.

The heads of the two families negotiated for a long time, and the mercenaries and borrowed soldiers went into battle together.After patching together and exchanging various interests, 5 people were gathered after ten days.

This time it was Kinoshita Tengjiro who led the team. He is also most familiar with the route on the shield fish island. The important thing is to bring back the uncle and the family warriors safely.

It's only been a year, and Tojiro Kinoshita, who watched the defensive city wall of Dunyu Island from a distance, was shocked.

What kind of technology can build such a tall city wall?For some reason, I felt uneasy.

He didn't know that his old opponent, Gao Huaiyu, had been suffocated a long time ago. This kid has experimented with the use of fierce fire oil during this period, and he has already scratched his skin. If it wasn't for the sea boat, he would have wanted to kill him The Japanese are in their hometown.

When he learned that the Japanese came again, he really looked up to the sky and smiled. It was not easy to finally wait for you.

Kinoshita Toujiro was not as reckless as his uncle. He knew that there were some capable people on the opposite island. They bought fifteen more cannons from the Westerners. This time it was said that they belonged to the Franciscans. They had a longer range and were more lethal.

Wanting to find out, Kinoshita Toujiro lined up the gunboats, concentrated their firepower, and fired in one direction.

They will fight at the gate of Shieldfish Island. Having learned the lesson from last time, the sea boat has been pulled into a hidden bay some distance away from the archipelago by Gao Huaiyu and the others.

Except for the rows of small clipper boats, this time they couldn't even find sea boats, so they had to slam the gate.

However, there was no one there, so there was a bang, and the sound was quite loud. After a dozen shells, the front piece turned into soot.

Waiting, waiting for half an hour, there was no movement on the island, as if it was an empty island.

Just as they were getting impatient and wanted to continue shelling, the wind blew up.

The strong wind was coming, and everyone was blinded by the blowing. It was not a good time for shelling, but they had to take a closer look.

Dozens of small sailboats are approaching, what the hell are these people doing?Such a small sailboat, to meet the enemy?
The speed of the sailboat was brisk, and the Japanese felt that the situation was not good, but before turning the bow of the ship, one of the sailboats had already hit the bottom of the Japanese ship.

There was some black liquid spreading around the ship, and before they could see it clearly, another series of rockets flew towards the opposite city wall.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The explosion sounded like the sound of nature. Compared with the movement of the gate on the island just now, this counterattack was not too powerful.

Kinoshita Tengjiro was about to burst into tears, he finally understood why his uncle didn't come back after he left, the dark kerosene of the Daxia people was too lethal, the sky is going to kill me in Dongying!

In the end, Tojiro Kinoshita, who had just recovered from his injuries, jumped into the flames along with the soldiers.

Gao Huaiyu was very excited watching the city wall. He must salvage it this time. This cannon is too eye-catching. He wants to equip it on a sea ship. He never thought of staying on the island without going out. Sailors always have to go into the water.

Fishing captives, fishing cannons, familiar taste, familiar formula.

The brother-in-law also sent a letter asking him to meet a Japanese prisoner and send him to the capital, no!More than 3000 people were arrested. He asked his lieutenant general to lead the team and sent the head to his brother-in-law. When he came back, he asked to bring back some more fire oil.
