The post-war clean-up work is the most exciting, but also sad.

In addition to sending eight "Yang Fan-style" warships to the Ryukyu waters to rescue hundreds of injured comrades who were lurking in the lair of the Flying Dragon Gang, and the thousands of pirate families in the lair, the rest of the remaining soldiers either took the opportunity to rest or stepped up to clean up the battlefield.

The corpses of many Hongmen soldiers have been found, and after falling into the water, they were dragged into the deep water area by the sea carnivores who heard the news to feast on them, and the corpses of many pirates are also incomplete, especially the shattered bodies of the bombed in the big explosion area of Jilong Harbor, which is not only a test for the containment personnel, but also a destruction of their spirit.

In the end, it took two full days to get a rough result, the Wyvern Gang was sorted out of more than 2,000 dead corpses, the captured pirates were also more than 1,400 people, and many could not find the corpses, fled to the jungle, and the final estimate was that there were nearly 5,000 dead and captured Wyvern Gang alone.

That is to say, this battle basically knocked the Flying Dragon Gang into the abyss all of a sudden, and as long as Li Tianyang no longer raises tigers in the future, the Flying Dragon Gang will never rise again on the territory of Hongmen.

Of course, the casualties on the Hongmen side are also not small, plus the casualties of the First World War in the Ryukyu Sea, the soldiers killed in Hongmen are also more than 2,000 people, and countless people are injured, the only thing that makes people happy and a little embarrassed is that the members of the Penghu Naval Division, which has the largest number, have only lost more than 300 people, and most of the others are uninjured and painless.

Li Tianyang was not surprised at all by the Penghu Sailor with this result, although after he became the commander of the Sailor, he also fulfilled his responsibilities to the Penghu Sailor, but the military discipline of the Penghu Sailor that had rotted in his bones was not something that Li Tianyang could correct in a few months.

Greed for life and fear of death, greed for money and lust are basically the life of the southern garrison troops in this era, because of the sloppy military discipline and low morale, so many military attaches are reluctant to use the soldiers in the barracks, and to embezzle empty salaries to support private soldiers, and the people they recruit will be reliable on the battlefield, able to obey their own commands, and save their lives.

The three Hongmen departments, each with damage, can almost be said to have disabled the current Hongmen's vital forces, making Li Tianyang want to pursue Yan Zheng and his gang who fled to Jingpu Port, and they are powerless, so they can only let the other party escape.

The harvest is also huge, and the warships captured on the sea are the largest of them, although Hongmen has begun to eliminate the four hundred warships that pirates and sailors are accustomed to, but they still try to use it in exchange for the supplies, silver and other things they want.

Moreover, even if Hongmen began to enter service to equip the "Yang Fan" warship, it does not mean that the 400 material warship has lost its combat effectiveness, as the main warship of the "Yang Fan type" is a frigate, the 400 material warship can still play a good role.

More than 1,000 of my prisoners are not enough to make up for the losses of the Hongmen warriors, and according to the standards of the Hongmen warriors, these pirates may not meet the recruitment conditions, but the thousands of people on the nameless island of the Ryukyus are still a big supplement to the Hongmen.

And the most important point is that the pirate area in the Ryukyu Sea has never existed since then, because of the ungrateful behavior of Gong Zhuyi and others, so that Li Tianyang can completely take back the ownership of the pirate area with great righteousness, and no one has much to say.

With the current strength and expansion speed of Hongmen's development, there is no problem at all in controlling the Ryukyu Pirate Zone, and there is no longer any need to worry about the problem of seizing territory and not being able to occupy it.

At the same time, with the experience of the Ryukyu Pirate District, after Hongmen took a good breath, then Li Tianyang took advantage of this big victory to find someone to talk to the various pirate gangs in the Qiongzhou Pirate District, as long as he was flexible, he naturally understood what he and the others should do next.

The indispensable thing that made Li Tianyang breathe a sigh of relief was that except for the fierce battle with the Wyvern Gang landing fighters near the southern shoal in Jilong Harbor for a night, only a few other houses and buildings in the port were attacked by the Wyvern Gang's stray bullets and were damaged.

When the Flying Dragon Gang attacked Jilong Harbor, they failed to withdraw from Jilong Harbor in time, and the merchants and seafarers trapped in Jilong Harbor were also not damaged, except for the dozens of cargo ships parked on the dock were affected, the warehouses and shops in other ports were magical, and there was no loss at all, so that the shopkeepers and sea owners of the merchants thanked the Sanqing Daoist Lord and the Bodhisattvas of the Heavens loudly.

In addition to being grateful to the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, Daqian can be regarded as feeling the strength of the Hongmen army at close range, and at the same time, they thought that the existence of their goods and warehouses in the port was also because of the benevolence and righteousness of Hongmen, and they did not have any prejudice because this was their goods from outsiders, and protected their goods very well without discrimination, so that there was today's miracle.

Therefore, the reputation of Jilong Port has been further spread among seafarers and merchants, and its reputation is thought to be brighter and more majestic.

Li Tianyang originally planned to make up for the negative impact of this battle by compensating the losses of the maritime merchants after the big damage to the chicken coop port, but he didn't expect his subordinates to be so powerful, and he didn't let the pirates of the Flying Dragon Gang take a step in the port area, which was regarded as earning Li Tianyang both fame and saving money.

The remaining personnel in the lair of the Flying Dragon Gang in the Ryukyu Sea were easily resolved by Chen Changsheng's special operations battalion, and brought back more than 400 soldiers who were captured by the Flying Dragon Gang in the last battle in Hongmen, as well as less than 4,000 pirate families.

Of course, among them, the Flying Dragon Gang has looted the materials and money left over from the maritime merchants and other seafarers in the past few years.

In fact, it is not much, the whole harvest of materials plus money is less than 100,000 taels of silver, which is still accumulated by the Flying Dragon Gang after annexing Gong Zhuyi, Xu Fei, Liu San and other pirate gangs these days, otherwise there are even fewer materials left on the island.

In recent years, the development of the Wyvern Gang has relied more on the use of war to feed the war, and the excess materials and silver money will be handed over to Shizupu Port, or used to trade with the Dutch for artillery and other valuable materials, where is there any excess materials to come out.

After receiving the excitement in the Ryukyu Sea, Li Tianyang had the opportunity to let Wu Juren and them take another trip to Jingpu Port to see what was left in the sea of Jingpu Port.

Sure enough, the other party has emptied almost the entire Jingpu Port in the days that Hongmen has delayed, but Li Tianyang and them are not without harvest, at least they have captured thousands of old and weak people, most of these people are dragging, and now that Yan Zheng and the others have not found a foothold, it is really not suitable to carry too many people.
