Chapter 262: War Dividends

With the end of Wang Hong's funeral, everything in the sea wolf began to return to normal, because everyone knows the way, what they do is actually to work with their heads, when they will die, no one knows the way, the deceased has passed away, but the living people will continue to live.

Fighting such a big victory is undoubtedly a great thing for the sea wolf, and the celebration must be indispensable, so after Yu Xiaotian sent Fang An away, he ordered the council hall to hold a banquet outside Dazhai to reward all the troops who participated in the war this time, and even the islanders who helped in the battle in Dazhai were invited to eat and drink together.

In addition, after a few days in the torture hall, the credit was counted day and night, and the decision of the reward was made and handed over to Yu Xiaotian for review.

After Yu Xiaotian personally reviewed it overnight, he revised it slightly and approved it.

Among the sailors and soldiers of this war, a total of more than a dozen people were awarded the Medal of Loyalty, and several other boats collectively performed well and received special awards.

Among them, there is the captain of the detachment who attacked Dazhai at night in Chu Cailao and did not retreat until he died in battle, and was awarded the first gold medal of loyalty and courage of the sea wolf, and his mother and wife were able to be supported by the sea wolf for life, and the son recognized Yu Xiaotian as his father-in-law and will be raised by Yu Xiaotian to commend the loyalty of this team leader.

In addition, Meng Fei's performance in this battle was particularly prominent, he led his troops to sit in the business area, although he was not regarded as the main target by Chu Cailao, but Meng Fei took the initiative to fight many times in this battle, and he did a very beautiful job, so Yu Xiaotian changed the bronze Medal of Loyalty and Courage to silver on the merit book submitted by Yu Xiaotian in the torture hall, and specially commended this guy's performance.

In addition, more than a dozen other people were awarded bronze and iron medals of loyalty for their outstanding performance in the battle, and two of those who died were awarded silver medals of loyalty.

In addition to these people, many members of the Seawolf Tribes were honored and received a lot of silver bounties, and the other participants also received various amounts of silver bounties as a reward for them.

Of course, there were also dozens of people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, who behaved clumsily, and were named and announced, and one of the leaders escaped from the battle, and was later beheaded by the torture hall, and the rest were also punished differently.

This is exactly a means for Yu Xiaotian to control his subordinates, the reward that should be rewarded, the punishment that should be punished, only in this way will the Sea Wolf people be more courageous in the future war.

Due to Wang Hong's accidental death, the second team temporarily did not have a coach, after the war, after everyone's discussion, Yu Xiaotian finally decided, let Ma Xiao transfer to the second team of the team, and Liu Yidao to the third team to serve as the team, and because Ma Feng was executed, the third team has a vacancy in the deputy team, and Luo Xianbin has performed well recently, so Luo Xianbin was also appointed as the deputy team of the third team, promoted by one level.

Just two days after the sea wolf defeated Chu Cailao, the news quickly spread throughout Fuzhou, and the businessmen who were not optimistic about the sea wolf's battle heard the news, and they were all surprised, so they didn't wait for the sea wolf's aftermath to be completed.

These businessmen are not stupid, they can see that the sea wolf will become the leading pirate group in Fujian after winning this big victory, and the momentum will overpower Chu Cailao, if they don't hurry up to show favor to Yu Xiaotian at this time, then I am afraid that the opportunity to make a fool of themselves in the future will not be their turn.

Therefore, these businessmen rushed to Nanri Island one after another, and presented Yu Xiaotian with their generous gifts, and inevitably welcomed Xiaotian fiercely, and expressed their intention to expand the scale of the business inn on Nanri Island.

For the performance of these businessmen, as early as Yu Xiaotian expected, these businessmen are snobbish, if you are strong, they are your grandsons, treat you as a grandfather, if he is defeated this time, I am afraid that few of these people will look at him in the future, and they will immediately flock away and give Chu Cailao a generous gift, whether it is now or in the future, people are so snobbish, and it is an eternal law to rely on the strong, which Yu Xiaotian understands better than anyone else.

Therefore, he did not refuse the heavy gifts sent by these merchants, and accepted them all, and in just a few days, he basically recovered the price paid for this war, and still made a considerable profit.

Even before he could speak, these maritime merchants took the initiative to contact the council to pay the toll money again, and no one wanted to pay the road money anymore.

Originally, after these businessmen learned the news, they were still a little skeptical about the news, while bringing the boat to Nanri Island to give gifts, while wanting to inquire about the details of the battle by the way, some people even felt that even if the sea wolf won, it should also lose a lot, Chu Cailao even if he lost, he didn't necessarily lose a lot, so he still had a wait-and-see attitude on the way here.

But when they arrived at Nanri Island and saw the wreckage of various ships stranded in the shallow water near the shore of Houshan Bay, as well as the dozens of captured ships neatly arranged outside the Dazhai Wharf, and the warships of the sea wolves that were densely moored in the bay, the doubts in the hearts of these people suddenly disappeared.

Even if they are stupid, they can see that this time the sea wolf may indeed have won a big battle, Chu Cailao's loss must be greater than they thought, at least the number of ships lost on Nanri Island is not less than a hundred, this time the fool also understands that Chu Cailao's loss this time is not ordinary miserable, for a long time, I am afraid that he will not be able to recover his previous strength.

And these businessmen did not expect this battle to be so tragic, when they landed on the shore, when they saw the sea wolf village, they saw that the wall in the east of the sea wolf village was full of bullet holes, and many places were also full of arrows, the wall was like a layer of reed flowers, and several walls also collapsed, at this time it was simply blocked with some soil bags and sandbags.

There are still blackened blood stains in many places above and below the wall, and there are many traces of fire burning on the wall in many places.

Although the battle had been over for several days when they arrived, they could still smell the smell of corpses and blood in the air, and they could still smell a hint of smoke and fire in the air.

All over the open space in the east of Dazhai, there are stains of blood everywhere, as well as some broken ladders and shields that have not yet been cleaned up, all show that there was a fierce battle here, it is obvious that Chu Cailao once led his troops to attack the big village of the sea wolf, and there were a lot of dead people outside the village, but in the end did not attack the big village of the sea wolf.

All signs show that Chu Cailao has suffered a big loss on Nanri Island this time, so no one dares to doubt that the sea wolf has indeed won a big victory this time.

After landing on the island, the merchants also saw that on Nanri Island, there were groups of captives, under the custody of the sea wolf tribes, working back and forth on the island, cleaning up the battlefield, repairing the wall, and some captives were busy helping the islanders rebuild their houses in the nearby villages, and the number of prisoners was quite large, roughly ranging from hundreds to more than a thousand.

This number of captives represents the great loss of Chu Cailao, which is beyond the imagination of many people, in the end, Chu Cailao lost so badly, it is no longer what they can imagine, all in all, the sea wolf has won a great victory, and it is not an ordinary victory, there is nothing to doubt about this.

This is also the reason why these maritime merchants Lima decided to pay the passage money for their merchant ships, because they knew that after this war, the sea wolf was not only famous, but also the strength of the sea wolf after this war, and it would expand southward, the earlier the money was paid, the cheaper the toll money was, and the price of the sea wolf's toll money would rise sooner or later, and it was better to pay the money early than to pay the money late.

But what they didn't expect was that although their reaction speed was fast enough, when they went to pay the money, they found that the sea wolf's reaction speed was even faster than them, and the toll money had risen in price, and it had risen by as much as 30% at once, and according to the person who specially collected the toll money in the council hall, this is still a temporary preferential price, and it is estimated that the toll money will be doubled soon.

The head-on conflict between Chu Cailao and Yu Xiaotian actually affected not only maritime trade, before the battle between Chu Cailao and the sea wolf, in fact, the government on land had already heard about it, especially the Fuzhou prefect Lu Wenheng actually heard the news that the sea wolf offended Chu Cailao from his subordinates a month ago.

And Lu Wenheng listened to his subordinates, this time the sea wolf and Chu Cailao were quite stiff, and Chu Cailao said everywhere, vowing to make the head of the sea wolf's big boss Yu Xiaotian.

Lu Wenheng was a little shocked by this, because since the sea wolf replaced the shark gang, the bandits in the coastal area of Fuzhou in his charge have gradually decreased, especially after the sea wolf cleaned up the mixed river dragon on the Funing side, the bandits in the Minjiang estuary area have also been reduced a lot.

Before, he didn't want to see the sea wolf, a group of pirates, and felt that even if it was a bandit, the sea wolf was definitely not a good thing, and it might even be more serious than the shark gang and the mixed river dragon, so he had repeatedly ordered the coastal areas to step up precautions, and pay attention to the sea wolf's whereabouts.

But after a while, he gradually discovered that after this surnamed Yu took charge of Nanri Island, the coastal banditry situation in Fuzhou did not increase significantly, on the contrary, there were fewer and fewer things about being attacked by pirates reported to him in various places.

Moreover, he also heard that after this surnamed Yu became the master of Nanri Island, he would actually take the initiative to take action to eliminate the small group of pirates in the Fuzhou area, and at the same time annexed some large groups of pirates in the Fuzhou area, reintegrated the pirates on the sea in the Fuzhou area, and began to take the road of business and thieves, reducing the plunder of coastal villages and passing ships on the sea, and also reducing the investment of fishermen, and reducing the extortion of coastal fishermen, so that the places along the coast of Fuzhou under his jurisdiction have been quiet for many years, rarely peaceful.

Lu Wenheng was a little surprised at this time, according to his understanding of pirates and pirates for so many years, these guys can all be said to be extremely vicious, they like to kill and fight, kill the people, and do all kinds ......of evil, as long as the word pirates is mentioned, everyone in the world hates them, but Lu Wenheng never thought that today there would be such a group of alternative pirates in the land under his jurisdiction.
