readx When dawn came the next day, the fleet regained its energy, people were filled with laughter and frolics, the fleet came to life again, the ship's speed increased accordingly, and everything was getting better.
Zhao Lie was not in such a good mood, especially when he heard the losses reported by Qi Wei.
Six sailors were missing and 11 were injured.
The Huo Qubing and the newly captured Dihan were seriously flooded.
All other ships were more or less flooded, especially the Dihan, which was seriously damaged during the battle.
Although it was repaired, it was not damaged.
It's just a matter of repair.
The large hole near the waterline took in too much water during the storm, and half of the boat was soaked in seawater.
Now the whole boat and the sailors supported by other shopping malls are working hard to drain the water.
It's hard to say whether it can be repaired in the end.
Although the Dihan only has a tonnage of nearly 200 tons, it is a warship after all.
Zhao Lie only has nine warships in his hands, so he cannot afford to lose it, so he is naturally depressed.
Using the old method, Zhao Lie issued a reward.
If the battleship was rescued, each of the emergency repair personnel on the Dihan would be given ten taels of silver.
Immediately, the tired soldiers became as busy as if they had been given blood, fighting with all their strength for ten taels of silver.
Zhao Lie was struggling in the South China Sea, and Zhao Meng, Wan Ji, and Tang Xianwen were also extremely troubled in Shidao.
Refugees from Liaodong were constantly transported to Shidao by water and land by merchants who had close relations with Shidao, especially Luo Changshan.
The largest and brought the most refugees.
Due to the influx of refugees, Shidao, which was already on the right track, was in a hurry again.
Tang Xianwen cursed secretly, "Can Fatty Luo not be so capable?
Why don't you send less people here?"
Die.
While Luo Changshan was purchasing goods from various places, he also vigorously recruited refugees from Liaodong.
Millions of refugees from Liaodong were mainly distributed in western Liaoning, the capital, Tianjin, and Shandong.
Luo Changshan made use of the more than ten large and small fortune ships assigned to him by Zhao Lie, as well as large-capacity ships.
Two Galen merchant ships and dozens of Sandbirds went to various places to purchase goods and collect refugees.
At this time, the officials and people everywhere were very disgusted with the refugees from Liaodong.
Fights between Liao people and local people occurred frequently.
The reason is very simple.
In order to survive, many Liao people agreed to rent up to 60% of the tenants' rent, and the workshops gave very little wages.
They went to work and destroyed the jobs of many local tenants and craftsmen.
The two sides continued to fight and the public order was chaotic.
The local officials were as big as a fight and regarded the Liao people as scourges.
They tried their best to get rid of these burdens but failed.
Ordinarily, it should be very easy for merchants to recruit Liao people in this way.
This will help solve problems for local governments.
If you think this way, you are oversimplifying things in a strange land like Ming Dynasty.
What is happening here?
Nothing can be taken for granted.
When Luo Changshan was recruiting refugees, the local official showed up with great righteousness.
Well, what are you recruiting refugees for?
Well, it's hard to say whether you are deducting their food and wages.
Well, it's hard to say whether you are buying and selling slaves for the barbarians.
Well, it's hard to say. . . .
A group of people act like they are the masters and officials of the country for the people, completely forgetting that they hated and ignored the people of Liao in the past.

But if you haven't understood yet, his aides will appear next.
How could Luo Changshan not know it?
Fatty Luo is serving the banquet and giving gifts.
This is Fatty Luo's specialty.
After the money is spent, no one will ask where the refugees work.
Just kidding, transport it away quickly and give me and other places a piece of pure land.
The Liao people from Luo Changshan accounted for more than 70% of the Liao people who came to Shidao.
During this period, nearly 100,000 Liao people poured into Shidao by land and water.
These Liao people had to rely on Li Meng and Wanji to arrange food and clothing.
Moonlight is a refugee who needs more than 20,000 taels of grain.
Even sorghum and other miscellaneous grains cost more than 10,000 taels of silver.
There are also the difficulties in the past.
People, and refugees are still arriving, with clothes, daily necessities, work, old people, orphans, everything is so complicated.
These people have heads as big as buckets.
Even Zhao Meng secretly hates this younger brother for leaving a lot of things.
After seeing the mess, he patted his butt and left.
He didn't expect that Zhao Lie was fighting for his life in the dangerous ocean at this time.
Alexandra also devoted herself wholeheartedly to the rescue of refugee children.
She understood that when she helped the refugees, she was helping Zhao Lie.
Moreover, the miserable situation of the refugees made it impossible for her to stand by and watch.
The thousands of children in the refugee camps occupied all her time every day.
She inspected every day to see if there was enough food, whether the clothes were protected from the cold, and whether the children had enough food.
Local schooling is now free for Zhao Lie Enrolling in school is also a huge headache.
As a last resort, Alexandra took the lead and set up dozens of temporary schools in refugee camps to teach children to read and write part-time for adults.
The food here is also better than that of adults.
This is Asia.
Alexandra suggested that the child should not be hungry under any circumstances.
Since refugees arrived almost every day, things were constantly changing.
The housekeepers who stayed on Shidao were busy, and even Li Mingyu's daughter Li Lin was borrowed to help Alexandra.
"This month, the refugee resettlement cost 34,527 taels of silver.
The iron ore, charcoal, and wages of Jianghuying totaled 53,040 taels.
The shipyard purchased wood, hemp, raw silk, iron materials, Tung oil, bamboo, cotton cloth, more than 18,200 taels of silver, purchased 224 horses, and more than 13,000 taels of silver.
The army's horses, food, and salaries were more than 24,000 taels.
The forts, cement, etc. spent 2,600 taels.
The fishing fleet was renovated, and the wages were 2,000 taels.
In addition, the schools in various places spent 3,900 taels of food. . . .
The total amount is more than 135,000 taels of silver."
Guo Tao laid out this month's running account.
"In addition, this year's solar term is not good, and the grain harvest may fail.
The current price of grain has increased by five cents per stone."
Everyone grinned when they heard this, while others just paid it off.
Shidao purchased tens of thousands of grains of grain every month, and each stone increased by five cents of silver.
This was an extra expense of hundreds of taels of silver every month.
Tsk, it really rains all night when the house leaks.
"Master Wan," Guo Tao said.

"The fort has been completed this month and will not be consumed in the future.
However, the shipyard will start construction of five Galen ships and four clipper ships next month.
Fortunately, they have also received an order for five Fu ships.
They can spend half of their expenses.
Solve it.
In addition, Mr.
Huang Han said that the guns, artillery, and armor are only half equipped.
I hope they will be complete next month. " "Asshole, let him come to me and tell me."
Wanji was furious.
"Damn it, Huang Laoer is now leading the army and has unlimited glory.
Could it be that the firecrackers and artillery we are waiting for here are brought by the strong wind.
I am waiting here to save money every month to supply the army, shipyards, and refugees.
This bastard It’s nice to set a deadline.”
Wanji is Zhao Lie's eldest brother in the army, and Huang Han will suffer even when he comes.
Tang Xianwen laughed when he heard this, "Brother Wan, drink some tea to relieve your anger."
Everyone drinks tea and takes a rest.
"Although your Excellency and the navy have obtained hundreds of thousands of taels of silver over the past year, there will still be more in the future," Tang Xianwen sighed, "Oh, refugees are like a bottomless pit, and we don't know when it will bottom out.
However, No matter what, we have to wait until the adults come back."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
At this time, they felt more and more that Zhao Lie seemed empty at home.
When Zhao Lie was there, it felt like the backbone was there and everyone didn't panic.
But without Zhao Lie, they felt confused as if they didn't know what was ahead.
Now I don't know if the trip went well or if the adults are on their way back.
Huang Han, who was scolded by Wanji, was training hard in the military camp.
So far, he has all the swords and guns, three thousand muskets, only one thousand and two pairs of armor due to the production of wrought iron, and nine out of ten cannons. pounders, ten six-pounders.
There were only more than 1,200 war horses, and they were insufficiently distributed among the cavalry and infantry scouts, which gave Huang Han and the various commanders a headache.
Fortunately, the 7,000 men in the army used the fire cannons that had arrived to master the firing of the fire cannons. .
Huang Han has already started practicing the formation of firecrackers and spears.
According to Zhao Lie's instructions, he continues to practice solid formations, hollow formations, pursuit formations, and retreat formations every day.
The formations are easy to set up, and the basic formations are formed in less than half a month.
However, the pursuit formations , retreating position It's not that easy.
This is what he has been practicing every day for the past ten days.
Huang Han knows that there will be a big war this year, and it will start when the adults come back.
Time is so tight, but the soldiers and armor are not uniform, the cavalry is short, and the formation is not familiar to Huang Han.
Han Ji's lips were full of big bubbles.
Of course, while practicing the formation, literacy in the army has not fallen behind.
All the soldiers are painfully chewing books and practicing calligraphy every night.
For ordinary rough men, they would rather run ten miles a day than suffer this.
However, practicing calligraphy is directly related to whether they can get paid, and they all grinned and worked hard to practice calligraphy for the sake of the money.
The Xuanfu envoy also assesses their progress every day and records the results for them.
The only joy in the midst of hardship is the football match, where the boys temporarily forget their worries and have a good time while laughing and cheering.
If Huang Han hears Wan Ji's scolding, he will feel angry.
Is it easy for him?
This is a force of several thousand troops, which is the cornerstone of your future conquests.
He is working hard here, lest he cannot keep up with the progress required by your Majesty and delay your major events.
