For Lin Dingyi, Zhang Mingliang and others, the current flattery is mostly from the heart.

The prince in front of him usually does not leave the Marquis' villa except for training soldiers, but he is very decisive in dealing with many matters such as migrant workers, building wharfs, and distributing single-pedal machines.

Now the wharf is about to be repaired, and more than a thousand houses in the storage area are under construction.

Once the construction is successful, the town of Nan'an will be more important than the nearby county towns. After all, this is an important place to communicate with several state troops. It can be seen from the names of the towns in Nan'an, Shuikou and Gukou. These are very important places to fight.

Xu Zixian can take these places into his pocket. In addition to military and political affairs, there are chambers of commerce and can control local commerce. The dock and port storage area will definitely have a lot of money.

In addition to the cotton business and of course the group donation, the financial resources Xu Zixian would probably have surpassed Yang Shiwei, the prefect of Fuzhou.

After all, the country is in normal times, and Fuzhou Prefecture will definitely receive more money than Nan'an League training, but most of it is to report it to the treasury. Yang Shiwei himself is probably not as much as Xu Zixian's money.

"You don't have to be too polite..." The blood stained by Xu Zixian's body was almost washed away by the rain, but the bloody smell on his body was still quite obvious.

A group of pure businessmen looked at Xu Zixian on the way, and saw blood flowing down from his boot glute, and the awe in his eyes was quite obvious.

Xu Zixian's words were quite gentle, even more gentle than usual. He looked bright and said to the merchants: "This time, the people and the merchants in the town have made great efforts. If there is no donation paid by the past merchants and no fees for training, how can we defeat the bandits? The bandits have good food, warm clothes, and used weapons to serve the country and kill the enemy and behead them. This is a matter of course. Those who have meritorious merits are just to say, and there is nothing to say. If there is a bandit who takes advantage of the situation to disturb the people after the war, I will punish you severely. Please rest assured..."

The people of the Shang people have such concerns. The arrogant soldiers will disturb the people. If they are defeated, the bandits will harm the Shang people in the town. After the army and the army trained the army, they are afraid of the arrogant soldiers. Xu Zixian won the battle and used his subordinates' aura to make more or less excessive demands on the town. This is inevitable. Everyone has heard of it or experienced it.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zi mentioned this matter first and set a very strict tone.

Lin Dingyi was thinking, no wonder the prince was able to accomplish something. He was really meticulous and had a good grasp of his subordinates.

He is usually very gentle to the military servants, so he takes off his clothes and recommends food and food. However, when he is required to preach military law, he is extremely strict and never relaxes his loan.

From this detail, Xu Zixian deserves the current victory.

The merchants were very moved at the moment. Lin Dingyi said first: "Wuzhang fought bloody battles to protect the people of our local area from poisoning. If we don't say a word, we will be heartless. My Lin family will donate a thousand guan first and buy wine and meat for the Wuzhang brothers."

The way of Yang Shizhi: "We Yang also pledged a thousand guan."

Of course, Zhang Mingliang would not have fallen behind these two people, and he also expressed his pledge to donate a thousand guan on the spot.

This is a good thing that adds icing on the cake. Of course, Xu Zixian would not refuse. Dozens of merchants pledged donations on the spot, and 30,000 pounds of money were easily collected.

This money is very important. The business people in Xu Zixianling Town helped clean the battlefield, so they had the intention.

Although this big victory was so exciting that Wu Shu died or was seriously injured in battle, many people could no longer join the army.

To provide pension to the deceased, to treat and comfort the wounded, we also have to reward the entire army. Of course, it is not just about delicious food and drink. Each person has to pay at least five guan. The 30,000 guan has saved Xu Zixian a lot of expenses, and Lin Dingyi and others were grateful after the disaster, so they were particularly generous. In addition, they saved the large area of ​​the Trek Port Warehouse, and more than 100,000 guan. Everyone was overjoyed. Even when they paid for the money, they felt worth it.

At present, the owners of all the merchants are taking the initiative to prepare cash, and refugees and the strong men in the town continue to help the soldiers clean up the battlefield.

When it was dawn, more than a thousand headless corpses were placed in one place, and there were still many small boats on the river to salvage floating corpses.

A considerable number of ships were captured in this battle. Qin Dongyang asked people to collect the unowned ships on the shore, and after counting, he sent people back to pay back. He included two water crusade ships, three blessed ships, seven black ships, three large ships, thirty-two large ships, eight or four ships, and one hundred and ten small ships. The harvest of the ship alone would be worth 20,000 jin of money, which was a considerable income.

Of course, Xu Zixian was extremely happy. Wu Zu, even if he raised horses and expanded cavalry, even if he had sufficient financial resources, he would be the limit to one or two at most.

The difficulty in buying a war horse is the main limitation, and the regiment training does not require cooperation in fighting. There is only the responsibility of protecting the countryside. Too many cavalrymen established will not gain understanding and support.

For the navy, we can set up another battalion, and the ships are just enough.

In places like Fujian, where there are many water and rivers along the coast, there are no sailors, it is like a hero who only has one arm, and he can only think about many things but cannot do, and he feels quite strongly powerless.

This time, in order to attack from multiple sides, the Pu family mainly mobilized hundreds of ships from land inconvenience. Although there were few large ships and many small ships, there were still several decent Fu Ship and Water Boat. The black boat was also good. Fu Ship and Water Boat were both twenty meters long and about six meters wide. The subtle difference between the two is that the water Boat only has two masts in front and back, while the Fu Ship has a rear mast. Although the rear mast is only three or four meters high and small sails are hanging, the ability of the Fu Ship to adjust the wind power at critical moment is still stronger than the water Boat.

The black boat should be smaller, twelve to thirteen meters long, four meters wide, and single-fa sailing. Of course, the ability to sail far is far less than that of the water boat, nor is it as good as the blessed boat.

The large whistle ship is an eight-slurry ship, ten meters long and can accommodate up to more than 40 or 50 people. It is the main force of the offshore river naval division, but the hull is shallow and the bow is not covered with iron. When encountering a serious warship, it is just a delivery of vegetables. In fact, it is suitable for transporting grain and military supplies in rivers or transporting troops. If you participate in a water battle, it will be extremely powerful.

The small whistle boat is a small fishing boat with no masts or sails, and only two pulp. In addition to patrolling the river, it is suitable for picking up and dropping up personnel and conveying military orders in fleets at sea.

There are certainly flag languages ​​for the sea fleet, but there are some complex instructions and flag languages ​​that are inconvenient to communicate and cannot be fully conveyed. This requires a small whistle ship to convey the message.

The Nan'an regiment practice had nearly 200 ships, and could completely organize a battalion of naval officers and soldiers, or even two battalions. As long as the Nan'an regiment practiced itself, it would be enough to afford it.

Xu Zixian was very satisfied. The Pu family's threats were much smaller next time, but he had to prevent the Pu family from colluding with real pirates. Having a reliable naval force that he had mastered would be of great help to future development.

Of course, there are too many small boats and too few large boats, especially when fighting at sea, warships that require large Fu Ship to be modified, preferably medium warships, or Linglong ships that are not commercially designed for naval combat.

Based on Xu Zixian's understanding of the current sea ships, it feels like it was the early stage of the great voyage. Most of the ships of Tianfang people and a small number of Europeans were used for business, and there were not many warships with purely military significance. Even if there were warships, the number of artillery generally did not exceed ten, and even the battle was mainly done by crossbows and horns.

If a firearm develops after a hundred years or two hundred years, and a warship uses a hundred cannons and a thousand sailors to develop to this level, if a navy wants to develop it with local power, it must have the financial resources and corresponding luck.

Xu Zixian wanted to build a navy, and even build his own fleet. If he was at the peak of the sail warship, with his current financial resources, it would be almost impossible to do it.

Now, at this time, you can catch up and still have a chance.

At dawn, everyone was very cold. Almost all the people in the town rushed over and set up dozens of large pots on the river embankment. Many women cooked boiled ginger soup, and drank ginger soup for the Wu Zu and the men who had worked hard all night to get rid of the cold.

Someone brought a chair and let Xu Zi sit on the river embankment to rest first. Only after dawn did he see that the battlefield was particularly tragic.

Arrows were everywhere on the edge of the river embankment, and the bodies were dragged away, but there were still quite obvious traces, including broken shrubs, arrows all over the ground, long snails and shields thrown away by the bandits, as well as ragged shoes and clothes, etc., which were almost devastated.

As for the fire by the river, it was still burning in the dim light of dawn.

The land dyed black and brown still has a strong smell of blood and the cold air at dawn...

Xu Zixian was also feeling inside that this was the real battlefield, the cold, sore and fatigue on his body, the swelling and painful muscles, and the slight pain of being scratched and broken by the calves. Of course, there were also the low moans of the injured martial arts servant. All of this was to remind him that this was the real battlefield, not a movie, nor was it the battlefield imagined by the literati.

Not to mention anything else, the smell of blood and horses is full of feces and urine, people's moans and wails, broken arms and broken limbs, piled up like hills... These things, ordinary people, may really have nightmares when they see them!

Which of the women who came to help by the riverside looked pale and frightened?

Of course, they came voluntarily. If the bandits killed the Wu Zu, what would happen to the town and nearby villages besides?

In fact, at least 30% of the townspeople and the surrounding villagers are missing. Yesterday, the shouts of killing were heard, and many people didn't care about the result, so they just took their wives, children, and young people to the north. This is understandable. When a disaster comes, how many people can destroy their family or the difficulties? Besides, the men in charge of the family are of course concerned about the lives of their wives, children, and young people first. When the bandits come, they kill the elderly, weak and rape women and children. If the family encounters such a thing, how can the man feel?

Most of the people who haven't left still have some confidence in the group training and have been hoping to get the news back. When they heard that the group training won, they were really happy to come out of the sky. They came out to clean the battlefield and cook ginger soup, which is also the right thing to do.

Xu Zixian sat with a big golden knife. A doctor in the town cleaned his wound and bandaged his injured calves. The doctor finally cursed this kind of errand, of course he did very carefully, layer by layer, wrapping Xu Zixian's calves layer by layer.

Xu Zixian ignored it. As the doctor Shi Wei, there were not many doctors who knew how to treat Jinchuang. Xu Zixian saw that the doctor was quite quick and thought that if he wanted to ask this person to bring more disciples, there would be many wars in the future. With more doctors in the army, the soldiers would have more life guarantees.

After the ginger soup was ready, someone brought a bowl for Xu Zixian. At this time, the younger sister and Xiuniang also rushed over. Seeing Xu Zixian's zongzi-like calves tied, the younger sister's face showed an anxious look, and Xiuniang's eyes were red.

"It's okay." Xu Zixian comforted him: "It's just a minor injury, the doctor is too careful."

"Always be more careful." The little girl asked clearly that it was really a physical injury, and she felt a little relieved, but seeing such a tragic battlefield, it was impossible for her to be afraid.
