But if in this battle, they lost a sea ship, it would be no different from a fiasco, and Hong Sheng was of course nervous at this time.

However, at this time, those pirates and widows had already killed Jiang Yuan and another bird ship, and Hong Sheng was willing to help, but it was also a little difficult to do.

"Lean over and send someone to support Jiang Yuan and them." Hong Sheng said in a deep voice.

But when Hong Sheng's three-masted gunboat approached Jiang Yuan's bird boat and was about to send a sailor to jump over and help them, the gunfire and shouts of killing on the ship suddenly stopped.

"What's the situation?" Hong Sheng's heart trembled, and he said in his heart: Don't have an accident!

Soon, Hong Sheng's hanging heart was put down.

Because he saw that Jiang Yuan walked to the side of the ship, waved at them, and in the end, they defeated the pirates who jumped on the ship.

"Clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded." Hong Sheng gave the order.

"Deputy Commander, those pirates who fell into the water, do we want to save them?"

At this time, the adjutant beside him walked up to Hong Sheng and asked for instructions.

You must know that in this one-sided naval battle, there are not many pirates who are really killed.

The vast majority of pirate pirates fall overboard after their pirate ship is shattered.

Even though it was the middle of winter, the weather was frozen, and the sea was even colder, but these pirates were still able to hold on to the sea for a while, and they would not die immediately.

At this time, on the surrounding hundreds of meters of sea, you can see pirates floating on wooden planks everywhere, shivering from the cold, begging for mercy and crying for help.

These pirates are fierce, greedy, and brutal, yes, but they are still human after all, and they are also afraid of death.

At this time, there were thousands of pirates floating on the surrounding sea.

"What's all that stuff for? I have nothing to do. Hong Sheng said angrily.

In Hong Sheng's opinion, why should they freeze to death for these pirates and pirates, they deserve it.

"Deputy Commander, in the opinion of my subordinates, we should still rescue these pirates and pirates." The adjutant next to him continued.

"Hong Luo, what do you mean? Make it clear. Hong Sheng turned his head to look at his adjutant and asked.

"My subordinates thought that this battle was the first battle of our naval army, which was of great significance, and under the command of the deputy commander, it also achieved a lot of results.

And these living pirates are precisely our most obvious achievements, if we bring these captured pirates back.

In this way, the general can know the brilliant results of our battle, and also know that it is not easy for us to fight this battle. What do you say, Deputy Commander. ”

Hong Sheng's adjutant is one of his nephews and is very smart, and he deliberately reminded Hong Shengdao at this time.

Hong Luo is reminding Hong Sheng to take advantage of this opportunity to publicize his victory in this battle, after all, this battle is of great significance.

And if they can bring back a large number of captured pirates and pirates, it will be the most intuitive proof of their complete victory in this battle.

Otherwise, after they went back, they only reported to Li Zixiao that they won this battle, but they didn't bring anything back, which was a bit unconvincing.

"Well, Hong Luo, you're right. Then listen to you, and order those pirates who have fallen into the water, rescue them, and after they go back, hand them over to the general himself. ”

Hong Sheng was finally convinced, changed his mind, and said.

Of course, Hong Sheng also hopes that with this battle, he can get more attention from Li Zixiao and prove his ability, no one wants to climb up.

Hong Sheng also didn't want to have the word 'deputy' in front of him, the commander.

"Ahem!"

Soon, one by one, the pirates who were soaked in seawater, shivering from the cold, and trembling hands and feet, were dragged onto the deck of the warship by the sailors of the White Dragon Army.

At this time, these pirates were not as fierce and cruel as before, and their bodies were about to bow into shrimp.

"Deputy Commander, this can't be done, if this continues, these guys will probably all be frozen to death before we return to Tamna Island."

Hong Luo walked over and said to Hong Sheng.

"You can look at the arrangement, just make sure that these guys don't make trouble and let them arrive on Tamna Island alive." Hong Sheng waved his hand and said.

At this time, he still had a lot of things to do, so he didn't bother to pay attention to the pirates who fell into the water.

In Hong Sheng's eyes, these pirates were already dead, even if he brought these guys back to Tamna Island and handed them over to Li Zixiao.

Based on Hong Sheng's understanding of Li Zixiao, Li Zixiao hated the Tartars outside the Guanhai and these widows.

It is estimated that when the time comes, these pirates will be killed by Li Zixiao, and if it weren't for the fact that he would not have bothered to take these pirates back if it weren't for his achievements in this battle.

"Lord Vice-Commander."

Soon, Jiang Yuan, the general of the second detachment, boarded the three-masted gunboat where Hong Sheng was from his warship and met him in person.

I saw Jiang Yuan at this time, his excellent battle armor was stained with blood, and one arm was still bandaged with a white cloth.

"How? Jiang Yuan, are you okay? Hong Sheng asked with concern.

"It's okay, I accidentally scratched a little skin, it's no big deal." Jiang Yuan smiled and said.

Jiang Yuan is a rare young general in their navy, very smart, during this time, he emerged in the navy, and was appreciated and promoted by Hong Sheng.

After Jiang Yuan joined the White Dragon Army, he was still recommended by Hong Sheng, and then he was deeply respected by Hong Sheng.

Hong Sheng is actually very clear about his shortcomings, he is not a professional naval general, and he is a half-way monk.

Hong Sheng is not like Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan's ancestors were the generals of the Ming Dynasty, although his family was not good before, he had no choice but to make a living by fishing like them, and later became a water thief.

But Lu Yuan still read military books since he was a child, especially in the training of the naval army, combat tactics and other aspects, and has a deep study.

Although during this time, Hong Sheng has been studying hard, and various methods and tactics related to the construction, training, and combat of the naval army can barely be regarded as an entry.

However, he is destined not to become a naval battle expert like Lu Yuan and Zheng Zhilong.

It's just that after all, he was the first to lead a group of sailors to take refuge in Li Zixiao, and he was also loyal to Li Zixiao, and he was also the founder of the White Dragon Army.

It is impossible for Li Zixiao to abandon him, at this time, there are only two commanders of the White Dragon Army and the Water Army, and it is him and Lu Yuan.

However, Hong Sheng knew his shortcomings, and his position in the White Dragon Army in the future was estimated to be difficult to match with Lu Yuan, and he didn't have that mind.

In the future, Hong Sheng's positioning of himself is to be the 'Wei Hong' in the White Dragon Army.

Look at the current Wei Hong, he has been called the 'deputy marshal' of the White Dragon Army in private, that is because, after Li Zixiao led his troops to battle, almost all the White Dragon Army in Jiangbei was under the command of Wei Hong.

Wei Hong faithfully acted as Li Zixiao's 'general manager', recruiting troops for Li Zixiao in the rear, training troops, guarding his hometown, and ensuring the stability of Li Zixiao's base area.

At the same time, Hong Sheng also began to step up his own efforts to promote the young and promising generals of the Water Army, and strengthen his voice in the White Dragon Army in this way of 'saving the country with a curve'.

"What's going on with you there?" Hong Sheng frowned and asked.

"I'm about to report to the deputy commander, bring it up!" As he spoke, Jiang Yuan waved his hand behind him.

I saw that from his warship, two sailors of the White Dragon Army escorted a dwarf winter melon and a widow to the three-masted gunboat through the improvised wooden plank.

"Vice-Commander, this guy is the leader of this pirate pirate and has been captured by us. This dwarf winter melon knife technique is very powerful, and I was injured by him.

He led the pirates and pirates and killed a dozen of our brothers, and it was better for the musketeers to break them up.

Unexpectedly, this guy was afraid of death in the end, and after being surrounded by musketeers, he chose to surrender, I thought he was very tough at first. ”

Jiang Yuan said, and kicked Yoshino Shuiichiro's stomach and kicked him hard, making his whole body bow into shrimp.

"This general, please don't kill me, in the Japanese samurai Yoshino Shuiichiro, I am willing to swear with my samurai honor, from now on to submit to the general, saddle up for the general, and be loyal."

As soon as Shuichiro Yoshino opened his mouth to speak, he was directly stunned by Hong Sheng, Jiang Yuan and others, because this guy actually spoke fluent and pure Chinese.

"I'm Cao, are you a Han or a slave? If we Han people are wrong, how can these two legs be Luo Quan? ”

Hong Sheng was also blindsided for a while, and asked suspiciously.

"General, I am a samurai in Japan, not you Han, but we Japanese have always admired your Han culture, and learning Chinese is one of the compulsory courses for our great Japanese samurai."

Shuiichiro Yoshino said respectfully.

"So? Do you still look like you're still from a Japanese nobleman? Jiang Yuan said at this time.

Because although Shuiichiro Yoshino fights, he is like a madman, and he is murderous, and Jiang Yuan has to admit that this guy's knife skills are too exquisite.

In the end, if it weren't for the White Dragon Army's musketeer's attack, he wouldn't be this guy's opponent if he went head-to-head.

Moreover, at this time, Yoshino Shuiichiro's speech and demeanor were quite aristocratic, and he was like the battle madman before.

At the same time, his humble attitude and fluent Chinese made Hong Sheng and Jiang Yuan's dislike for him a lot.

Moreover, when Jiang Yuan was a child, he knew that Japan was the real name of the Japanese Kingdom, and it was given by the Tang envoy back then.

Japan has always been heavily influenced by Chinese culture, but not everyone in Japan has the opportunity to learn Chinese.

In Japan, only the Japanese nobles had the opportunity to learn Chinese, and ordinary people did not have such opportunities.

Therefore, at this time, Jiang Yuan judged that Yoshino Shuiichiro might have been born in a Japanese nobleman.

"Yes, General. I, Yoshinoya, was a general under Lord Toyotomi back then, and I was made a general for my military exploits. It's a pity that later Toyotomi-sama returned to heaven, and we, the Yoshinoya, followed Ishida Mitsunari-sama.

It's a pity that in the Kansai War, Lord Ishida Mitsunari was defeated, and our Yoshino family was also hunted down by the Tokugawa family, so we had no choice but to flee Japan and become a coward. ”

Shuiichiro Yoshino was in a sad mood at this time and said.
