On the way to Rizhao, Xu Shiyang once intentionally or unintentionally revealed to Xu Shiliu and others that if there are any additional gains in fighting the Japanese pirates this time, the most important thing is the Japanese pirates' sea ship.

Xu Shiliu agrees deeply with this.

The Xu family originally had five small bird boats carrying the insignificant mountain goods from the north. They traveled to the south of the Yangtze River twice a year and then transported some salt and iron that were in short supply in the inland of Jiangbei. This time, they could earn enough money and grain to support a thousand strong men.

If the size of the family fleet can double, the Xu family will not even have to stick to the Qi-Jiangnan route with a weak profit, but will expand their destination to the more oily Liaodong-Jiangnan-Qi province, or the Fusang/Goryeo-Jiangnan-Qi province route.

In this way, as long as you travel smoothly every year, the wealth that every sea boat can bring is more than one dock!

Ten boats are ten docks.

Now, hundreds of large and small sea boats are parked on Rizhao Beach!

Even Xu Shiliu, a child who cares about the family's food, food, oil and salt, was extremely jealous. If Xu Shiyang hadn't allowed him to have a conflict with the forts of other families, the fifth brother of the Xu family would have wanted to drive them all away and occupy all the sea boats.

Unfortunately, this is impossible. Xu Shiliu can only find a way to eat more, but she cannot completely take over it.

Seeing that a infantryman finally arrived, Xu Shiliu immediately shouted and ordered them to seize the sea ships that he had been jealous of for a long time - all the ships he chose were the biggest guys.

Unfortunately, the second group of Zhang family militias occupying Rizhao Port, and they quickly seized the remaining medium-sized sea ships.

Finally, the follow-up troops of the Wang family, Ding family, Bao family and Xu family arrived at the scene with torches. At this time, the boats left on the beach were only small, not much larger than the sampan.

By the second midnight, when Xu Shiyang led the Xu family's large convoy and musketeers to the beach, all the ships had been divided up.

Xu Shiliu grabbed 5 large sea boats and 5 medium sea boats, but he was still a little dissatisfied. As soon as he saw Xu Shiyang, he shouted at him:

"San brother, your soldiers are too bad. You know that the little profits of the Japanese pirates have delayed all the time. If we could get another 50 infantrymen, we could grab a few more big ships!"

Xu Shiyang smiled. What he said made some sense, but there was nothing we could do at this stage.

If he has a lot of wealth and supplies in his hands, he can of course let his soldiers ignore the little property on the enemy's corpse and advance straight towards the main target.

But isn't he not there now? In order to stimulate the soldiers' enterprising spirit, Xu Shiyang had to announce that after killing the enemy, the property on the body could belong to everyone, and the previous battle was also carried out in this way.

The advantage of such regulations is that soldiers are significantly more motivated to respond to the battle. However, the consequences are equally serious - even if new soldiers, once the formation is disbanded and entered a state of pursuit, they are easily attracted by corpses all over the ground.

This situation is pretty good today. If we face a more determined opponent, the enemy will eventually organize hundreds of people to launch a counterattack. The troops scattered around collecting property everywhere may end up in bad luck.

This is also the reason why Xu Shiyang firmly grasped the musketeer with the strongest control. As for how many people are determined to attack the most important target, they can only leave it to fate.

Xu Shiyang knew that this was a big flaw of the new army, but he had no choice but to guide him a little bit.

"Okay, we have seized a lot this time, so don't think about taking all the benefits. We have to give others some soup." Xu Shiyang had to comfort his younger brother: "What's more, we have other gains. Look, I have captured hundreds of Japanese pirates along the way."

After removing the threat from Fulaishan, the arable land area of ​​all the forts in Xujia can be increased, so the original population seems to be a little insufficient.

I don’t know how good these pirates farm, but at least they are strong Dingkou, even if they don’t know before, they can still do some heavy work under the education of the whip, which is a very good supplement to the Xu family’s manpower gap.

Xu Shiyang captured about 500 Japanese pirates along the way. After a quick look, he found that it was mainly Fusang people, there were also many Koreans and Han people, and even a small number of Nanyang savages.

There is not a certain number of Japanese pirates killed in the battle, but I think there are about a few hundred to one thousand.

Except for 2 or 300 people who successfully escaped, they should have all collapsed. On land, they are unfamiliar with their own land and have food. They are probably starved to death or caught by nearby forts and bandits. The probability of surviving Japanese pirates being nearly zero.

According to the information, the total number of Japanese pirates landed was around 2,000, and later some people joined, and there may be less than 3,000. After this battle, it can be said that they were completely wiped out by the new army of the Xu family.

"After this battle, our brothers are worthy of being famous."

Xu Shiyang patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said with satisfaction:

"Even after word of mouth of escape from Japanese pirates, our daimyo is possible to spread to Goryeo, Fusang, and Jiangnan."

"Our family is different from the Zhang family and the Wang family. The ship is the most important seizure, but not the only one. Our brothers have gained reputation and seized hundreds of labor. Adding those ten ships, this time it is already rich enough, and it is nothing to give to other families a few ships."

Xu Shiliu nodded helplessly: "I can only think of this. What a pity. I should have made more money."

"There are opportunities in the future. In fact, I don't know how to use these ten ships now." Xu Shiyang smiled bitterly and said, "We don't have so many sailors."

"Yes, you can't use the captured Japanese pirates." Xu Shiliu said sadly: "How should these big ships be used..."

"Hi, don't use this expression, we won!" Xu Shiyang patted Xu Shiliu's back hard and laughed loudly: "If you win, you still have to use the seizure to hurt your god, aren't you pretentious?"

"The rest of our family's task today is to have a good rest, and we'll talk about other things tomorrow!"

"Ha, that's right." Xu Shiliu also smiled. He recalled the high spirits he was when he was chasing the Japanese pirates just now. The feeling was so... good!

"Who will the third brother fight next time? You must call me!" Xu Shiliu said with unsatisfactory words: "If you don't fight this Japanese pirate, you won't be satisfied! By the way, you have fought the Tartars, how about the Tartars?"

"You are 14 years old this year. Let's talk to your father and ask him to give you a fort to take care of you first, train your own soldiers, and wait for the Tartars to come, and let our brothers go to fight together to kill the enemy."

"But my father wants me to study in Jiangnan..."

"You think about it yourself. How many times will you defeat the Tartars? Wait until you go to Jiangnan to study. Those classmates and teachers heard that you killed Tartars like killing dogs. How would they look at you with envy?"

Xu Shiyang smirked and encouraged:

"Everyone is afraid of the Tartars, only you and my brothers are not afraid, and you are not inferior to anyone in the slightest study. Isn't this a standard way of becoming a general and a prime minister? This is what a true Confucian scholar should do."
