"Your Highness, during this period we annihilated more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers, seized trophies worth 18 million taels, and captured more than 90,000 young and strong men."

Back at the temporary courtyard on the island, Gong Ying reported the short-term results to Zhao Xu.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and thought to himself that the south of Japan was still rich.

Although they circled around Japan and snatched more than ten cities, the spoils they seized were worth more than 50 million taels of silver.

Among them, silver is only more than three million taels, which is not as good as one Changqi.

But it doesn't matter. These stolen things are enough to spend some time in Jiangbei.

Moreover, with the strength of the Yanzhou fleet, Britain and Sam cannot even reach out to this place.

Japan is equivalent to becoming a fat sheep he raised in captivity, and these wealth cannot be escaped.

When the wool grows a little longer, it’s OK to cut it again.

"I did a good job. Because of your actions, the Watanabe case did not send troops to the north. This will definitely arouse dissatisfaction among the northern vassals. Next, you only need to let some vassal lords stand on their own." Zhao Xu said.

After pausing, he said to Zhou Yi: "From today on today, a fleet will need to be stationed on Wufeng Island for a long time, patrolling the Japanese waters, and guarding against the arrival of the Western Tu fleet."

What he was worried about was not Britain.

Because from the distance, Sam's Kingdom is closer to Japan.

Moreover, the Sam Kingdom has controlled many islands in the eastern waters of Japan, including Hawaii Island.

It took four months for the British fleet to arrive in Japan from its homeland.

It took less than two months for Sam's fleet to travel to Japan.

Furthermore, based on the information he has, the Sam Kingdom during this period cannot be underestimated.

In fact, more than thirty years after the Second Opium War of the Contemporary, the industrial output value of America exceeded that of Britain.

Even the Sam Kingdom is currently, its industrial strength is probably half that of Britain.

Therefore, we must be wary of the next move of Sam Country.

"Let Gong Ying lead twelve steamships and thirty sail warships to station on Wufeng Island." Zhou Yi thought for a while and said.

Zhao Xu nodded, and he also admired Gong Ying, the general.

However, because the navy had too few warships before, he did not reform the navy's military system, but only asked the general Zhou Yi to lead the entire army, and others promoted some captains and first mates.

But now as the fleet grows, he feels it is necessary to regulate the navy's military system.

So he said, "It is better to bump into the sun than choose a day. Today, the King of Japan will set a military system for your navy, just like the army. The highest general of the navy is the general, and the commander is the commander, the commander is the commander, and the commander is the commander, and the commander is the commander, and the commander is the commander, and the commander is the flag leader."

This arrangement is basically equivalent to the general being the marshal of the army, the commander is equal to the commander of the navy, and the commander is divided into three levels, which is equivalent to the surrender of the general, the lieutenant general, and the major general, and the lieutenant are also divided into three blocks, which is equivalent to the colonel, the lieutenant, the major, the chief commander is equivalent to the sergeant, the sergeant, and the corporal.

While speaking, he explained to Zhou Yi and other naval generals. Everyone nodded and looked forward to the title they would win immediately.

After all, since ancient times, no dynasty has attached great importance to navy.

The King of Yan established a naval system, which was the first step for the navy to glory.

"Zhou Yi, I declare you as the Marshal of the Great Song Dynasty!" After explaining the military system, Zhao Xu said to Zhou Yi.

After pausing, he looked at Gong Ying, "I ordered you to be the commander-in-chief of the Navy."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhou Yi and Gong Ying were both happy and saluted Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu nodded and looked at the other generals who were full of expectations, "You are all excellent, but Gong Ying's position was temporarily assigned to him because of his temporary assignment. Next, I will ask Zhou Yi to submit a list for me and give you positions. However, these positions are not fixed, and will be promoted or demoted depending on your merits and demerits."

"Yes, Your Highness." The other naval generals were overjoyed when they heard this.

After deciding on this matter, Zhao Xu also ordered Gong Ying to hand over the young and strong man to Wang Yanzhong.

Then the navy transported the seized spoils back to Yanzhou, and he was also ready to return together.

The next focus is to disrupt Japan's internal affairs.

Therefore, he needed to make these northern vassal lords obey.

After resting on the island for a day, Zhao Xu took a steamboat to Yanzhou the next day.

After three days of bumpy on the sea, we arrived at Jinghai, and another day, we returned to Yancheng.

Hojo Kawaki and Ono Town vassal lords also arrived at Yancheng with him.

However, they were all wearing shackles and were still treated as prisoners.

When he arrived at the palace, Zhao Xu took a shower, changed into a refreshing dress, and then gave an order to the general who detained the Japanese vassal lord.

Let them take the lords to walk around the workshops where steam engines were installed.

Afterwards, they were taken directly to Jinghai and ordered the navy to send them back to the various vassals.

"Your Highness, the generals of the army are drooling in envy."

As soon as Zhao Xu's order was sent, Chang Wei and Liu Fu arrived.

As soon as he arrived at the study, Chang Wei showed a sour face.

Naturally, the naval welfare matter cannot be hidden from him.

He, the highest general of the army, naturally had to compete for welfare for his generals and soldiers.

Zhao Xu glanced at him sideways, "It's not that the Battle of Goryeo didn't give rewards to the entire army, so don't be greedy."

"Your Highness, this reward is far worse than the Navy's 100% of the Navy's. It is said that every navy soldier can earn at least one year's salary this time." Chang Wei coveted his face.

Zhao Xu shook his head helplessly, and he knew that the generals of the army were envious.

So he said, "What's the hurry? If you have the ability, your army will also grab the spoil worth hundreds of millions of taels of war for me, and I will also share 10% of you."

When Chang Wei heard this, his eyes lit up, "Your Highness, this is not simple. It's more than 100 million taels of silver to conquer Jiangnan."

"You are still very honored to grab your own things, right?" Zhao Xu glared at him, "The Japan robbed by the Navy is the enemy's thing, Jiangnan is a traitor, that is Dasong's asset."

"Puchi." When Zhao Xu was fighting with Chang Wei, Liu Fu couldn't help laughing, "Chang Wei, Your Highness has his own principles. I can't even talk about Your Highness, so how can you?"

When Chang Wei heard this, he turned his eyes on Liu Fu, and was a little disappointed.

However, what His Highness King Yan said makes sense. What he snatched was the things from the Dasong Dynasty.

But Zhao Xu's words excited him again, "Don't worry, when your army goes overseas to fight in the future, you will also have your benefits."

"With your Highness's words, you will feel at ease." Chang Wei said.

At least, the King of Yan brought the army and the navy to the same level.

He can send the generals when he returns.

Of course, even if the King of Yan did not give them benefits, they would just complain, and they would do what they should do.
