"Tell me what happened."
Zhao Lie looked at Qi Wei.
"Sir, I brought the two captains here and asked them to speak."
Qi Wei bowed and saluted.
Zhao Lie nodded in agreement.
The captain who had witnessed the incident on the first line could not have explained it better.
Qi Wei turned back and went out.
After a while, Qi Wei entered the hall with a middle-aged man and a young man.
After the two saluted, Qi Wei named them.
The fat middle-aged man named Fang Mao was the captain of the Li Guang ship, and the other young man named Zhang Huan was the captain of the Huo Qubing ship.
Everyone in Fang Mao knew that Fang Mao Port, a large port in Beihua, was named after him, but Zhang Huan heard about it for the first time, but seeing that he was only in his twenties and could be promoted to captain, he thought he was better than others. at.
Zhao Lie remembered that Zhang Huan used to be a member of the Wei Qing and was the boatswain.
He hadn't seen him in two years, but he didn't expect that he was also the captain now.
Fang Mao kept sweating on his face and recounted the encounter in embarrassment.
After all, his performance this time was not very good.
Compared to Fang Mao, Zhang Huan was slightly nervous, but he had already achieved military exploits this time.
He was not in charge of the fleet this time, so he was much more stable.
Furthermore, he had served on the Wei Qing for a long time, so it can be said that He had seen big scenes, so his expression remained normal.
Zhao Lie and Li Hu asked some questions one by one and finally sorted out the matter.
"Sir, it seems that the enemy has tried their best to take advantage of the heavy fog to get closer.
They are afraid of the huge cannons of our navy.
What's more important is that they may capture our navy's cannons."
Li Hu said to Zhao.
Lie Gongshou said.
"Well, I'm afraid they are interested in our army's cannon.
Even if I were in their position, they would try their best to get our cannon.
After all, it is a weapon for the military and the country."
Zhao Lie's eyes were cold, and Ned Lan Ren was also brave enough to think and act, and he saw the magical effect of Tiago's cannon at a glance.
"Sir, this time, thirty-eight people of our navy were killed and fifty-seven were injured.
The Feng Yi will need to be returned to the factory for overhaul.
The Huo Qubing will need minor repairs."
Qi Wei said about the casualties.
"Well, our army has suffered a lot this time.
Not to mention the ships, it's just that these brothers who were damaged were trained by our Polu Army with all our efforts."
Zhao Lie gritted his teeth.
This revenge must be avenged.
The Dutch are really immortal little strongmen.
They harass the Polu Army from time to time and directly threaten the Polu Army's route to Macau.
"My subordinate failed to detect the enemy's movement and allowed the enemy to advance.
I will plead guilty.
It was Zhang Huan who first discovered the enemy ship and alerted the fleet, allowing the other two ships to be prepared in advance and watch out."
Fang Mao said ashamed.
He also secretly cursed himself for being careless.
Thinking about the several battles, the Dutch did not take any advantage.
This time when they passed Xiaoliuqiu, he really didn't care too much.

At worst, the Polu army was really not afraid of the confrontation.
Unexpectedly, the Dutch took advantage of the approaching fog.
If Zhang Huan hadn't discovered the enemy ship first, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"The merits and demerits will be judged by the public, and the town council will verify them one by one.
Merits will be rewarded, and demerits will be punished.
You should stand down first."
Li Hu ordered.
The leader of the guard back then was now also a general in charge of the Polu Army Navy, and he was quite imposing in his movements.
The two of them saluted Zhao Lie and Li Hu one by one and left.
"I originally knew the navy well, but now the time has come to collect protection fees in this sea area.
Therefore, I planned to reorganize the navy.
Unexpectedly, this Dutchman is still evil."
Zhao Lie sneered.
"My lord, you are saying that you can charge sea trade route fees."
Li Hu said in surprise.
Early in the morning, Zhao Lie briefly mentioned with the naval general that he would charge merchant ship protection fees off the coast of the Ming Dynasty in the future.
One was to expand military resources.
One also controls the hegemony of this sea area, but he can only negotiate when to implement it.
Li Hu, Qi Wei, Zhang Gusheng and other navy generals have been watching for a long time.
If this trade route fee is collected, it means that the navy will have its own income, not to mention shipbuilding and cannon building.
You can even feed back the infantry and see what else the infantry general has to say.
After waiting and waiting, the day finally arrived.
How could Li Hu and others not be surprised.
"Let's talk about the family assets.
Li Hu, tell me about the navy's assets now."
Zhao Lie waved his hand.
"Sir, as of this month, the Navy has a total of ten Song-class warships, and eight more are about to be launched.
It is expected to be completed in March.
In addition, there are forty-two Tang-class warships, five Sui-class warships, and Han-class warships.
There are eighteen battleships, thirty-eight Jeju-class patrol ships, and fifty-two clipper ships."
Li Hu readily reported the assets of the Polu Navy.
The total number was one hundred and twenty battleships and aircraft.
Boat shearing is not included.
This heavy property was built by Zhao Lie in six years with money.
It can be considered that he has exhausted all his efforts, adding half of the treasure ship's income.
If he does not start charging fees, Zhao Lie will not have the energy to continue to build warships and artillery.
Yes, the navy is really a gold-eating beast.
However, seeing this property spread across the bay in front of him, Zhao Lie was beyond words to express his pride.
He had gone through all the hard work to build it from scratch.
Li Hu looked at Zhao Lie and smiled, then said, "Now the navy is divided into three parts.
Five Galen warships, ten patrol ships, and ten clippers guard the waters around Fangmao.
In the winter, when they return to Jeju, there are six warships, five patrol ships, and ten Clipper ship on stone On Dashanja Island in the southwest of the island, there are still six warships from Jeju headquarters to guard the Macau route.
In addition, Jeju is surrounded by the sea, and Japan in the east and North Korea are still eyeing it, so there is still a huge gap in warships. " "President Li is crying about poverty again.
Haha, you have 20,000 people under your command now, which is more than the infantry of the Polu Army.
Haha, you are still stretched thin."

Li Lu shook his head, really unconvinced.
The infantry generals have always criticized Zhao Lie for expanding the size of the navy.
In their view, the navy is now invincible.
If they do not build large ships, they can save money and food and replace all the horses of the Polu army with Mongolian horses.
War horses, their combat power is so impressive.
"Without a fleet, if the Japanese pirates recover and defeat the Jeju fleet, I think you will just cry."
Li Hu said disdainfully.
"Okay, please stop saying a few words."
Zhao Lie is really incompatible with water and land.
"Now the fleet must be expanded.
The Jeju Navy must support Shidao, Bukhwa, and Macao, and also ensure the security of Jeju.
Therefore, the fleet must continue to be expanded."
Now that Zhao Lie had spoken, several people just shut up and accepted the order without any discussion.
"I think the Jeju Navy is divided into several parts, the rapid support fleet, the escort team, and the team that patrols the trade routes.
Each has its own duties.
When there is a big war, it will be concentrated.
What do you think, Li Hu and Qi Wei."
Zhao Lie looked at the two of them.
"Sir, I think it is feasible.
The battleships captured earlier are quite old, and most of the ships have slowed down.
They will drag down the speed of other ships during rapid support.
It is better to escort and patrol, so that the new ships can maintain their combat power and prepare for war."
Qi Wei was the first to agree. road.
"Indeed, the Song-class and Tang-class warships are not suitable for patrol and escort at all.
They are only used for decisive battles and can be tidied up."
Li Hu also nodded in agreement.
"Then let's deal with it like this.
In addition, as the general said before, we must not let the Japanese know the existence of Song-class battleships, at least don't let them know that there are a lot of them.
This is the trump card of our army in the decisive battle.
You must know it. ."
Zhao Lie said seriously.
"I obey my orders."
The two men bowed in response.
"As for the Dutch, huh," Zhao Lie looked at Li Hu and Li Lu, "the two of you make a plan to attack the Dutch castle in Xiaoliuqiu with water infantry.
Let's see how many people and ships are used.
We can take down Xiaoliuqiu in one fell swoop and pull out this nail.”
"Sir, it should have been like this a long time ago.
The Dutchmen in Xiaoliuqiu have harassed our army's Macau trade route several times, which is really hateful."
Li Hu was overjoyed when he heard that the Dutchmen in Xiaoliuqiu involved too much energy of the navy, and just escorting them was enough.
Six warships took turns escorting them, but even this time they still lost so many troops.
"Great, sir, this time our Jeju Town finally has a place to use.
Haha."
Li Lu was even more excited.
It is said that his Jeju Town is a place to support the four parties, but wherever he went, there were local military generals.
Lord, he is just a soy saucer.

This time Li Lu finally got a job that he took the lead.
"Li Lu, don't worry.
Jeju Town is an important place for support from the center.
We will fight at the back in the future.
Don't complain when the time comes."
Zhao Lie said with a smile.
"I'm not afraid of this hardship.
I'll look after you in Jizhou Town when the time comes."
Li Lu said indifferently.
Zhao Lie laughed it off and did not continue the topic.
He thought to himself, there will be times in the future when you will be tired and vomit blood.
"In addition, Li Lu, the officers and soldiers of Jeju Town and Beihua Town are training here to add swimming and horseback riding.
Every soldier must be able to ride a horse and swim ashore at the beach.
Do you understand?"
Zhao Lieming said.
"Hiss," Li Lu bared his teeth, "Sir, traveling to the sea is easy, but riding a horse is too much trouble.
There are seven thousand soldiers in total, but there are still not enough horses."
"Transfer all the Jeju horses from the racecourse.
You can arrange the training staff.
I will issue the order.
The rest is your business."
Zhao Lie picked up the tea bowl calmly, completely ignoring Li Lu's bitter face.
Li Lu made a calculation in his mind and realized that he had to dispose of the cavalry commander, otherwise he would not even have the manpower to practice riding skills.
Unfortunately, he still wanted to train the cavalry commander Qian, but he knew that he had to be a cavalryman to fight against Jiannu.
Fight for supremacy.
This general gave an order, haha, let’s train the infantry first and then talk about it, everything is in chaos.
"Don't be so sad.
In future battles with Jiannu, the infantry has to be equipped with horses.
What's the use if it can't keep up with the speed of the cavalry?
Moreover, Jeju can reinforce Beihua, Denglai, and go south to Xiaoliuqiu at any time.
How can soldiers fight in a land near the sea if they don't know how to swim?"
Zhao Lie reminded Li Lu.
Li Lu hurriedly stood up and accepted the order.
The Lord was so solemn, so of course he did not dare to be careless.
"Moreover, you two still need to plan to reinforce Beihua, and you must seize the entire island within two years."
As soon as Zhao Lie said this, the two of them grimaced.
There are too many things to do. s: Thanks to Hualuonn Zhange and Xuanyuan Khan for their monthly pass rewards.
