294 Triumph
Wu Daofu clearly knew Li Tianyang's thoughts, as Li Tianyang's trusted right and left hand, although others were not by Li Tianyang's side in Jilong Harbor these days, Wu Daofu was very clear about the situation in Bengang.
With the growth of knowledge and the improvement of wisdom, Wu Daofu gradually learned to look at problems in the long run, although he still has many limitations in many aspects, but it still does not prevent him from figuring out Li Tianyang's mind through his own cognition and thinking.
Indeed, Bengang has been dragged down by the arrival of the Dutch for too long, and for most of the year, Bengang can basically be said to have no income at all, and even the salaries of Hongtang's team members are still transferred from Bengang's reserves and Jilong Harbor.
Thinking about the past, Bengang didn't need the support of other places, and then looking at the embarrassment now, I don't know how long it has been for Miss Yumo to worry and be upset.
Therefore, when the Aircraft Department gave such a whimsical battle plan, Wu Daofu, who had always been quite conservative, made up his mind to carry out this order so quickly, because he saw the results of this plan and was able to deal with this group of Dutch people as quickly as possible.
The result of this battle was also beyond everyone's expectations, and the progress was extremely smooth, not only taking the Dutch Hongcheng Fortress in their hands, but also capturing most of the middle and high-level commanders of the Dutch fleet, including the chief and deputy commanders of the Dutch fleet, Lai Qichen and Lei Josheng.
Of course, the results of the battle were not only these, just the Dutch sailors captured by Wu Daofu and their relatives, there were nearly 400 people, and the Dutch killed were also more than 300. This also means that the expedition plan of the Dutch, after this battle, has become completely empty talk, unless Li Tianyang Wu Daofu and they release the captured Dutchman, plus the surviving manpower of the Dutch fleet, can they have another chance to open up another situation outside the Hongtang forces.
In addition to the captives, Wu Daofu and his team also harvested a ruined fortress and dozens of cannons placed in the fortress, and the rest of the captured Western-style arquebuses were more than 700, which was much more than Li Tianyang and the Portuguese in Macao had purchased.
However, when distributing these trophies, Wu Daofu and Wu Juren were a little deadlocked, Wu Juren of course hoped to get a few more cannons to arm his fleet, and Wu Daofu hoped to transport these cannons back and hand them over to Li Tianyang for distribution.
This made Wu Juren annoyed, and handed over the cannon, that doesn't mean that they can be assigned to artillery by then, it has become an unknown number, last time Li Tianyang They bought a large number of arms from the Portuguese, but none of them were given to their Leopard troops.
With Li Tianyang's experience, Wu Juren was determined to divide these dozens of cannons with Wu Daofu on the spot, so as not to have too many dreams at night. Even in the end, Wu Juren took out the identity of the former boss and Li Tianyang's uncle to suppress Wu Daofu and forced him to admit it.
Wu Daofu had already been ordered by Li Tianyang to let them have all the trophies, especially the trophies such as muskets and artillery, need to be distributed centrally, and the base camp will decide which department to equip them, especially when they Hongtang and the Dutch have been fighting each other for so many days, after deeply comparing the gap between each other, Wu Daofu also has to admit that Hongtang and the Dutch are backward in their naval battle awareness and tactics.
Compared with before, the weapons and equipment captured by each of them were independently distributed and occupied by their respective teams, and the principle of unified reception and unified equipment issued by Li Tianyang later was the way to give full play to the powerful power of these weapons.
In the end, Wu Daofu still failed to outlast his previous leader, and finally split the cannon in Hongcheng Fortress in two, allowing Wu Juren to take half of it. The only thing that made Wu Daofu feel that he had taken advantage of it was that because he had not really seen the performance of the arquebuses in the Dutch in land warfare, and Hong Tang fought on the sea most of the time, it was very difficult for him to personally save gunpowder, which is easy to get wet and wet, so Wu Juren did not ask Wu Daofu for the ownership of more than 700 muskets, and completely gave up his interest in it, which means that Wu Juren and they will not need Li Tianyang to allocate a part of these muskets to the leopard department in the future.
As for the other materials on the island, it is not worth mentioning at all, the Dutch in Penghu is rootless duckweed, where does the output come from, more through looting to supplement their own consumption, even if there is a little valuable material, most of them are sold to other maritime merchants who have a better relationship with them in exchange for the materials they need.
However, Wu Daofu's casualties were not low, nearly 4,000 of the four Hongtang disciples who came with the fleet, nearly 600 were buried in the battle of attacking Hongcheng Fortress and then being shelled by the Dutch fleet, and more than 400 were injured, of which nearly 200 were seriously injured.
Subsequently, with the efforts of many team members, it only took half a day's effort, and before the evening came, Wu Daofu and they completed the cleaning of the Hongcheng Fortress, and then it was time for them to return to Jilong Harbor and report the great news to Li Tianyang in person.
"After this battle is over, I believe that our Hongtang Zhang I will not make any more moves in the next time, so I will not follow you back. I haven't stayed in Turtle Island for more than three months, and I haven't returned to Tanmen, I'm worried about what's going on at home! The battle came to an end, and Wu Juren also knew that most of the Dutch who had lost most of their strength, although there were still seven warships roaming on the sea, but for the entire Hongtang, it was already a disease of mustard, and it was difficult to do anything else, so for the sake of this Western warship that was finally snatched from Wu Daofu's hands, as well as these dozen powerful artillery, Wu Juren did not dare to go back to Jilong Harbor and joined Li Tianyang: "But for the sake of safety, you bring my brothers and warships with you, so as not to return to Jilong Harbor, There are really those eyeless pirate thugs who are not good for us, so when you return to Bengang to garrison, let them come back with you! ”
"Okay!"
Wu Daofu secretly smiled in his heart, and he had probably guessed the little Jiujiu in Wu Juren's heart. However, in order to take care of Wu Juren's face, Wu Daofu still respectfully responded and led a large team of men and horses to kill back majestically.
After more than a year of working as an errand under Li Tianyang, although Wu Juren often listened to the propaganda and did not listen to the tune, but under the influence of his ears and eyes and what he saw with his own eyes, he had a further understanding of Li Tianyang's ability. It's just that because of the relationship between himself and Li De, as well as the problem of face, Wu Juren still hesitates and resists bowing to Li Tianyang in his heart, but in fact, in his real heart, he has long been a little less arrogant and more obedient to Li Tianyang's nephew.
Asking for votes again, after this chapter, it basically established Hongtang's hegemony in the South China Sea in the future, and in the future, there will be only Li Dan Maritime Group on the Japanese side who can compete with Li Tianyang on the sea, but don't forget, Li Dan doesn't have a long life to live, Li Tianyang just relied on the advantage of being young, and killed the strong enemy in the future!
