188 Absolute Leadership
Kaohsiung has become a sea of joy, and the people in the town have all run to the dock and rush to witness their fleet return.
Every warship entered the port and was greeted with warm cheers.
Although the warships are mostly injured, this is the hero's scar.
The warship slowly returned, and the officers and soldiers supported their tired bodies and accepted the cheers of the people on the dock.
Many of them were military families. They were anxiously inquiring about their relatives. When they heard that they were safe and sound, they patted their chests and said, "Mazu blessing". When they heard that they were dead or injured, they immediately remained unattached and were in a hurry to find their true whereabouts.
Most of the military families were happy. Such a war was almost an artillery battle. The officers and soldiers dressed strictly according to regulations, wore ugly water basins and helmets, and wore deer armor. Many people added an extra layer. As a result, only 385 people died in the battle, and there were thousands of wounded people. However, due to the outstanding medical power of the Southeast Fleet and willing to spend money, the wounded people were basically rescued.
Everyone also saw the dejected red-haired fan being escorted out to parade, and people burst into laughter, so it was not difficult for the red-haired fan.
Everyone rested on the spot that day, while the statistics department nervously calculated the military achievements and planned the rewards allocated.
Yan Changwu did not relax. He asked him how the situation was in Waihai, deputy admiral Li Ying, of the Second Strike Group?
Lee Young reported that there were suspicious ships circling on the coast but were not attacked.
In fact, the pirates Li Kuiqi and Liu Xiang in Guangdong wanted to cause trouble, but they were very cunning. They sent out a sentry to explore the Southeast fleet and returned one after another. After knowing that the Dutch were defeated, they did not dare to act rashly.
...
The next morning, the whole of Kaohsiung began to make a noise in life. In front of the Mazu Temple in Kaohsiung, people gathered one after another because their young commander wanted to go to the temple to show his victory to Mazu and thank her for her blessing!
On the morning of that day, the temple was very lively. Under the leadership of Yan Changwu, the officers and soldiers went to the temple with great momentum.
Just in front of the temple, under the gaze of the goddess and the testimony of millions of people, Yan Changwu awarded rewards and awarded meritorious soldiers.
He first gave himself a star and made himself the rank of "General".
Of course, after reading the tribute to the goddess, he declared his achievements: he defeated the powerful Dutch fleet and achieved rich results.
Thanks to the blessing of the goddess, our army won a great victory and severely damaged the enemy, while our side suffered very little losses!
Thanks to Mazu for blessing our army's long-term military fortune and moving from one victory to another.
In addition to incense and three animals, the sacrifices also included the battle flags of the Dutch people, and the soldiers threw them at Yan Changwu's feet.
The cheers of the people and the soldiers were rising and falling!
...
Yan Donglai, Cheng Yu, Costite and Siresma, who were the first to come forward.
The first three are nothing. When Siresma comes out, the people all took a breath.
He is tall and terrifying.
Then the people were happy because the black warrior also knelt down in front of the statue of Mazu. People with such powerful power surrendered to Mazu. It seemed that my Southeast Prefecture was promising.
Young Master Yan moved his clever move and opened his forehead. He created the character Black Warrior and received a good result in one shot.
All four heroes received the gold medal of war merit. If the latter three were either the leaders, they would not have made outstanding achievements in military achievements, while Yan Donglai had a powerful shelling, which made the Dutch unable to raise his head. The command and bombardment sank two enemy ships, and they were all promoted to colonels.
Next is the winner of the Silver Medal of War Merit, the captains of each ship, and the deputy captains with excellent performance, with a large number of people, including Gan Hui, Shi Daxuan, Hong Xiguan, Yan Zhang, Xiao Changrong, etc.
Next, the recipients of the bronze medal of war merit will be rewarded with deputy captains and senior officers and outstanding non-commissioned officers.
After the award of the Medal of War Merit is completed, the winner of the Medal of Melee Assault, rewarding officers, gunners, sailors, helmsmans, etc., with a total of hundreds of people.
Among them, Mr. David received the melee assault medal, which was "the greatest contribution is to rescue the horse." He took the initiative to block a shot at Yan Changwu. In order to reward him with courage beyond his duties, he specially gave him a gold melee assault medal.
Everyone pays bonuses according to the grade. For example, if the gold medal of war merit is 1,000 silver dollars, silver is 500 silver dollars, copper is 100 silver dollars, and melee assault medal is 300 gold, silver is 100, and copper is 50.
The other officers and soldiers participated in the battle had bonuses and their ranks were promoted according to their merits.
The excellent service medal was given to Li Ying (the commander of the Second Fleet), Chen Zhongji (well-official support) and Storm (the design of the battle line for combat). The prize was 800 silver dollars, and the rest of those who were meritorious in assisting in combat were also rewarded.
The officers' group became the biggest winner, and the reward content showed the first military merit, that is, the greatest reward was given when going to the battlefield.
The celebration ceremony was very lively on that day, with heroes riding horses and prisoners walking on the streets, and in front of them were the conductors. The people cheered at the heroes and laughed at the prisoners... They actually threw the prisoners... not rotten eggs, but dried sweet potatoes.
The red-haired men wearing clean clothes sent were surprised and happy and fell into the hands of the Ming people. They were afraid at first, but they did not expect that the Ming people treated them well and did not abuse them. The higher authorities said they would treat the prisoners preferentially (in order to get ransom).
They did not kill, set fire, burn, loot, or other things. Not many people died in the Southeast fleet. When the typhoon came, more people died in the Fujian Sea than in this battle!
The people of Southeast Prefecture were in a good mood and even liked the prisoners. So they did the thing to feed the red hairy rice balls with sweet potatoes, laughing and thinking that they were feeding pigs (the Dutch people were still very happy), which made people laugh and cry.
...
The entire edition of the Southeast Daily on that day wrote about the content of this battle, telling the battle process and heroic deeds, and of course, the leaders must be gilded.
He was generous to the governor, expressing the tall and powerful image of the young hero. He racked his brains and wrote a poem to commemorate it, which was published in the Southeast Daily.
"Seven-character · He Dongnan Fleet defeats the invading Dutch Fleet"
Taiwan is stormy and rainy in the South China Sea, and battleships are flying in the blue waves. Dragons compete for dragons and fight against the past, and are turning the world upside down and generous.
It is better to pursue the enemy with the remaining courage, and not to seek fame and learn from the overlord. If the heaven has feelings, the heaven will grow old, and the right path on earth will be vicissitudes.
...
This poem is circulated in the Southeast Prefecture. Everyone says the word "good", but what's good about it is that because of their limited level (not even a juren), they can't say anything. However, it was passed on to Fuzhou Fuya, and the governor Xiong Wencan was speechless.
It does not rhyme, and is even a bit of a rude, but it has rich content, describing the grand historical event of the Southeast Fleet defeating the Dutch Fleet. What is terrible is the overflow of the imperial aura!
The aura is strong. It is said that Xiong Wencan once commented that only Taizu and Emperor Yongle were able to write such a poem. It is not a poem that the emperor who was good at the woman in the deep palace could write! (This is just said that those who are ministers dare not be arrogant. After all, it is very disrespectful to say this)
When his aides, Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhong, were deeply moved. They helped Yan Changwu Guiming's affairs. Seeing that his strength grew from a small local force to expand day by day, to this day, it was really terrifying to be able to have a fight with Hongmao Fan.
They read the classics and history well and knew that when the Ming Dynasty governor Nan Juyi expelled the Dutch in Penghu in the fourth year of Tianqi (1624 AD), he used 10,000 people to fight 1,000 Dutch people (including hundreds of teenagers), and could only drive away instead of annihilation. Now, this Taiwanese boy Yan won the gunboat against gunboats.
At present, Yan Changwu has strong strength and does not disturb the mainland. I think he is not a saint, so I can only say that he has a great idea. The two gentlemen commented: "Like Cao, you are a person of Yi!" (Cao Cao and Sima Yi have never usurped the throne in their lives)
In the hearts of the two gentlemen, there is a desire to join such a hero...
