Chapter 146: Inventory: A Surprise, a Worry
(As for the monthly pass, everyone still has a monthly pass in the account, let's vote for it!) Today continues the fourth watch, the fire in July, the steamer in the sauna crying blood and tears, the second watch will be sent first, and there will be two chapters behind. )
Li Jing was very happy and said loudly: "Okay, you understand things very well, and those who know the times are Junjie, get up, you will be one of us in the future." From the batch of gold and silver jewelry he had just copied, he took two fifty taels of silver collars and put them in his hand, "This is your reward." ”
Zhang Cheng held the two silver collars and said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you!" ”
Zhang Chengzong and Liu Shouqian both smiled and stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder, "Do a good job, I won't treat you badly." ”
Zhang Cheng laughed flatteredly, his smile was full of ease.
It was only at this time that the craftsmen in the workshop felt that something was strange, and they felt that the person brought by Steward Zhang did not seem to be from the Wang family. A few craftsmen and stewards wanted to come forward to ask, but when they saw that Li Jing's group of people were dressed in armor and looked vicious, they didn't dare to approach.
Li Jing waved his hand: "Zhang Cheng, inform everyone immediately, this workshop will have to move to Fort City soon, and they will be craftsmen in Shamen Town from now on." ”
Zhang Cheng immediately nodded, trotted over and gathered a few stewards and craftsmen and hurriedly talked about it, and a few stewards quarreled loudly with Zhang Cheng, and seemed to disagree with Zhang Cheng's behavior of betraying the master. Li Jing has been standing there and watching all this coldly, and after seeing that Zhang Cheng really can't figure it out, he nodded to Liu Shouqian and Zhang Chengzong, and the two family heads immediately raised their whips and rushed straight over with fierce looks, without saying a word, they beat a few stewards who opposed loudly, and a few of them lay on the ground with blood on their faces. The teeth are gone.
With this precedent. When Zhang Cheng summoned all the craftsmen over. After Li Jing's order was announced, although many people were full of doubts, no one dared to oppose it. Li Jing sent two teams of family members to help with the migration. After handing over the transfer of the underground workshop to Zhang Chengzong and Liu Shouqian. Li Jing returned to the docks, and the eighteen pirate ships had been replaced with the flag of Shamen Town. Li Jing left Qiu Shengong's team at the dock and let them garrison the Shimen wharf with the original crew of more than 200 on the Ninghai.
Although there were many other businesses at Shimen Wharf, Li Jing ignored them and directly asked Qiu Shengong to garrison the wharf, which was considered to have completely taken over the wharf. Later in and out of the dock. No matter who they are, they have to be examined by Qiu Shengong.
The rice, cloth, silk, and even some other goods in the Wang's warehouse at Shimen Wharf, as well as some money and silk copied out, Li Jing ordered them all to be moved to Shamen Town immediately. Although there are many things, there are exactly more than 300 pirate captives and more than 700 craftsmen, all of whom are temporarily used as porters.
Cui Zhiyuan, who rushed to register, couldn't close his mouth in surprise when he saw so many gains. After learning that it was the harvest of the Wang family's warehouse shop. A little worried: "Just copied the Wang family's warehouse and shop, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" ”
Li Jing sneered: "What's inappropriate." The Wang family knife has already been stabbed, and we are still polite to him. Again. Which of these things is in the name of the royal family? These things are all secretly operated by the Wang family, and they are all things that cannot be seen. Now it's in our hands. What else needs to be polite. If we take it, the Wang family can only suffer a dumb loss, and they have already torn their faces anyway, so why pretend to be kind. ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was full of approval. The Wang family dared to collude with pirates to attack Shamen Town, and everyone was eager to kill Dengzhou Water Village immediately.
Li Jing and his entourage returned to Zhenbao, and Du Zhongwu had already handed over many post-war statistics.
Du Zhongwu stood at the head of Li Jing in the lobby of the town general's mansion, and reported to Li Jingyu with excitement: "General, in this battle, our army has captured a total of 823 pirate heads, captured 677 people below the leader of the pirates, One-eyed Jiao, and 215 people below Wang Fu, the head of the Wang family. In addition, 18 pirate ships were seized, including 10 300 stone ships, 5 800 stone ships, and 3 1,500 stone ships. In addition, 520 copper coins, 800 taels of silver, and 100 taels of gold were seized. 1,200 spears, 1,300 swords, 500 shields, 300 armors, 700 iron shackles, 600 leather armors, and 300 leather helmets. In addition, there are 600 pairs of longbows, 200 individual crossbows, and 20 Fuyuan crossbows. 13,000 arrows, 8 knives, 30 maces, and 20 hammers. Thirteen steel whips, thirty-one brass maces, and one hundred and seven iron rods. My lord, although some of them are damaged, they can still be used if they are repaired, and the harvest is abundant. ”
Lin Wei and the others were all smiling on the side, and Zhang Hongda said with a smile: "Your number is not enough to prepare, and you have to add 23,000 stones of rice, 10,000 horses of linen, and 3,000 horses of silk." 10,000 catties of iron, 6,400 copper coins, and 8,000 horses of silk. There are also a full set of various weapon workshops, and there are 700 weapon armor craftsmen. ”
Du Zhongwu said suspiciously: "I have checked it carefully, there are no such seizures?" ”
Lin Wei said with a smile: "This is the harvest we just gained from the raid of the Wang family's shops, warehouses and underground workshops at Shimen Wharf. The Wang family of the dog day colluded with the pirates to try Shamen Town, and now it is not possible to steal chickens and lose rice, so let's take some interest first. ”
While scolding the Wang family, the generals were also happy. After a bloody battle, although a lot of price was paid, it was finally won, and so many gains were gained. With Li Jing's style of doing things, everyone will be rewarded this time.
With more than 20,000 stone rice, the current population of Shamen Town will no longer have to worry about food in a year or two. And the newly seized underground workshop of the Wang family, as well as those craftsmen, just make up for the weakness of the lack of weapons on the island. Later, Salmon Town also had the ability to manufacture its own equipment. There is food, equipment, and people, who will dare to bully the head of Shamen Town in the future?
After the generals laughed and congratulated, Li Jing coughed and asked in a low voice, "How is our damage, have you counted it?" ”
Du Zhongwu nodded, his mood was a little low, and he said in a low voice: "In this battle, due to the fact that the number of pirates attacking seriously exceeded the information obtained in advance, this fierce battle, the new army of our Shamen Town suffered heavy losses. Especially later, after the pirates destroyed the western city wall and invaded the city with the cooperation of heavy crossbows, this time the casualties were the most. The results of the preliminary statistics are that 467 people were killed in this battle, including 118 soldiers, 39 auxiliary soldiers, 238 logistics soldiers, 47 family members, and 25 crew members of the Ninghai. One hundred and thirty-seven were seriously wounded, 21 soldiers, 17 dependents, 33 auxiliaries, and 68 logistics soldiers. Minor injuries, more than half. In addition, the four barracks outside the city have been destroyed by pirates, and the western wall of the castle has been basically destroyed. ”
Four hundred and sixty-seven were killed and one hundred and thirty-seven seriously wounded in the First Battle, adding up to six hundred and four.
This number made everyone in the hall take a breath of cold air in unison, and their faces became extremely difficult to look at. According to Du Zhongwu, thirty percent of them may survive after the most severe deaths, but basically they can continue to stay in the army. In this way, it is equivalent to that after this battle, the Shamen Town Army directly reduced its strength by 600 people. For the Shamen Town Army, which had only 2,000 soldiers, family members, auxiliary soldiers, and logistics troops, the direct damage in this battle reached nearly 30%.
Kill 1,000 enemies and lose 600 yourself.
"How did you die so many people in battle? You're not mistaken? Lin Wu asked in disbelief, in his opinion, this battle was not bad, how could so many people have died in the battle. In my impression, there were few casualties among the more than 100 cavalry he led.
Li Jing rubbed his forehead, sighed and said: "This number should be correct, we fought really well at the beginning, we repelled the attack of the pirates twice in a row, killed more than 500 pirates and the Wang family's guards, and our own casualties were only a few dozen." However, when the pirates destroyed the western city wall and equipped them with heavy crossbows and bows to cover most of the attacks, we had no choice but to fight the enemy. However, after all, our army was newly trained, and the logistics and auxiliary troops were not well equipped, so they suffered a great loss, so they suffered such casualties. The most people who died in battle were logisticians, not because they were not well trained, but because I didn't have enough armor to equip them. ”
Lin Wei got up and said to Li Jing: "General, I am responsible for such heavy casualties in this battle. If it weren't for my delay in returning to the division, the general would not have been able to withstand such a strong attack from the pirates alone, and if I had returned to the division earlier, the casualties would not have been so heavy. I ask for punishment! ”
"Vice Mayor Lin will sit you down." Li Jing beckoned to Lin Wei, although he did expect Lin Wei to come to reinforcements immediately several times when he was on the battlefield, but after the war, he also had enough understanding of Lin Wei's situation at that time. At that time, Lin Wei attacked Shimen Wharf, and there were more than 500 pirates left behind, and it was indeed not easy to take the fleet completely. What's more, at the last critical moment, if it wasn't for Lin Wei's timely arrival, how could they win.
"We all did what we had to do, so the battle was a win for us. However, due to errors in prior intelligence, the number of pirates has basically tripled, which is the biggest reason for our heavy casualties. In the final analysis, our own strength is not strong enough, the soldiers and horses are not well trained, the equipment is not complete, and the vigilance ability is not enough. This incident has taught us a heavy lesson, and in such a dangerous situation, we must not be careless in the future, and we must always pay attention to the surrounding situation and strengthen the strength of the town troops at all times. ”
"I'll understand!" The generals all stood up and responded heavily.
Li Jing nodded: "Now bring the one-eyed Jiao up, we have to meet this pirate leader who stabbed us fiercely." (To be continued.) )
