Just when Duan Zhixuan and Yang Fan were speechless, they heard a loud roar coming from the island.
The two of them looked around and saw Xue Rengui holding up a corpse with a spear in his hand and shouting: "The bandit leader is dead. If you don't surrender, you will be killed without mercy!"
The pirates running around were dumbfounded.
Looking up at the body that was lifted up in the air by a big iron pole, there was no doubt that it was Wang Jinzhu.
Look at the teams of people searching the island. These guys have no intention of resisting at all.
Of course, the most important thing is that they were bombarded by artillery shells just now, and they were already scared out of their wits.
Now that the group of dragons has no leader, it has naturally become a ball of loose sand.
The boss is dead, why should we fight?
Besides, the ship was blown up, so you couldn't escape even if you wanted to.
As a result, all the fleeing pirates gave up resistance, dropped their weapons and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.
"Sir, spare your life, we were forced too."
"Yes, we were just following orders, those women were killed by the boss!"
"We were originally Han people, but we became pirates because we couldn't survive. Don't kill us."
For a time, there were endless calls for mercy.
Xue Rengui held the corpse on the spear with one hand, jumped directly onto a huge stone mountain, glared, and shouted: "Everyone shut up and hold their heads with both hands, otherwise they will be executed without mercy!"
The action of picking up the corpse with a pistol was so domineering that the pirates were all silent and did not dare to make any more noise.
The navy soldiers kidnapped the pirates one by one, and finally wiped out the whole group of pirates.
When Duan Zhixuan saw Xue Rengui's majestic appearance, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "He is really a tiger general!"
However, what surprised him even more was the calmness of these navy soldiers.
In just a few minutes, everyone who was not dead was already loaded onto the boat.
It was truly a clean victory.
Only then did Duan Zhixuan realize that the account could still be settled in this way.
Soon, Xue Rengui held Wang Jinzhu's body high and came to Yang Fan: "Grand Governor, the bandit leader is dead, and all other pirates have been captured. Please give instructions!"
Yang Fan looked at Xue Rengui with admiration in his eyes, and said loudly to the soldiers: "This battle has shown the results of your usual training. I am very satisfied with it and will continue to carry it forward in the future!"
"The Tang Dynasty will win!"
"The navy will win!"
Watching the shouts rising one after another,
Yang Fan's blood boiled in his heart.
These are the soldiers you made yourself. As long as they are around, you can overcome all obstacles.
Xue Rengui also blushed and shouted excitedly: "The Governor is mighty!"
All the navy soldiers also shouted:
"The Governor is mighty!"
"The Governor is mighty!"
"The Governor is mighty!"
Hearing Xue Rengui's flattery, Yang Fan really wanted to kick him to the ground.
He has done nothing, and anyone with a bit of shame would feel embarrassed by bragging like this.
However, Yang Fan felt light and airy, and it sounded really exciting.
No wonder officials like to be praised by others.
But Yang Fan was not dazzled by the victory and ordered: "I'll give you half an hour to clean up the scene and let's return!"
"Return..."
Above the vast sea, the shouts shook the night sky!
Everyone shouldered their responsibilities, and soon all the pirates' gold and silver treasures were loaded onto the ship.
As for the dilapidated ships, they sank to the bottom of the sea together with the corpses.
Some civilian officials also classified and imprisoned all pirates, and even recorded all their names.
At this time, these pirates were already frightened and did not resist at all.
Such an easy victory was achieved, and all the navy soldiers were in high spirits from top to bottom.
They once again saw the power of these artillery pieces.
Half an hour passed quickly, and the fleet returned in a mighty manner amidst the sound of the horn.
In the frigate conference room, Yang Fan sat at the head, while Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui and other generals sat on the left and right, all smiling.
Seeing these generals mingle with Yang Fan, Duan Zhixuan admired: "The Governor has so many fierce generals, no wonder he was able to pacify Jiangnan so quickly."
"Today I saw a cannon that was as powerful as a thunderbolt. It was simply a weapon for killing people."
"Not to mention Jiangnan, even in the entire Tang Dynasty, who can compete with the Navy?"
"Such a big ship is simply a magical weapon on the sea, and my subordinates admire it very much."
"I wonder if the Grand Governor can tell me what the magic weapon is for easy victory?"
Hearing Duan Zhixuan call himself a subordinate, Yang Fan smiled slightly with satisfaction.
In response to his praise, Yang Fan did not hesitate and said: "Haha, the Duke of the country has given you too much praise. I don't understand anything about military tactics, strategy, or formation of troops."
"But I know that if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools, but in our navy, we must be equipped with the best sharp tools."
"Unless it is absolutely necessary, there is really no need to risk human lives to win."
"If a commander wins with the lives and blood of his subordinates, he is not a good commander. A general who does not take the lives of his soldiers seriously is not a good general."
"In order to reduce the losses of soldiers, we build the best equipment and develop the most rigorous training."
"Once we get to the battlefield, no matter who the enemy we face is, we will definitely be able to crush them in all aspects."
"This is my magic weapon to win. The enemy can use all kinds of strategies to deal with it. We just need to crush it!"
"The great governor is benevolent, the great governor is mighty!"
Several powerful generals stood up and saluted Yang Fan excitedly.
How can we not make them happy to have such a leader who loves and cares for his subordinates?
One general's success will destroy ten thousand bones.
Since ancient times, those famous generals have paved their reputation with the blood and bones of countless soldiers!
Now that Yang Fan can be so considerate of his subordinates and soldiers, he will definitely not push these generals out for the sake of victory and merit in the future to achieve his own success!
What's more, everyone knows that Yang Fan is rich and willing to spend money.
He is also very proficient in some strange and cunning techniques, and can often tinker with things that lead to victory in wars, such as telescopes, muskets, gunpowder...
Following such a coach, fighting easily and making achievements easily, is there anything more beautiful than this?
Yang Fan pressed down with his hand and asked: "What are the statistics after the war? Are there any casualties among the soldiers?"
This is what he cares about most.
Although the pirates were frightened out of their wits, this was the age of cold weapons after all, and it was normal for some soldiers to be attacked by surprise.
Su Dingfang picked up a thick account book from in front of him and handed it to Yang Fan, introducing: "The pirates were frightened and did not resist. However, the terrain on the island is complex, and more than a dozen soldiers were slightly injured in the sneak attack.
."
"As for the pirates, there are more than 500 pirates in total, more than 300 people were killed in the bombing, 212 people were captured, and there was countless money. There is no statistics yet."
Su Dingfang had an amazing memory and handed the account book to Yang Fan for review.
However, he opened his mouth to speak out each number, obviously having already memorized them in his mind.
Seeing that Yang Fan's face was a little gloomy.
Su Dingfang felt a little uneasy. Did he remember the wrong number?
impossible……
Although I can't say that I remember everything, these numbers are not that many and should not be wrong.
Just when Su Dingfang was worried, she heard Yang Fan ask in a cold voice: "The pirates have obviously been defeated, why are there still soldiers injured? It's obviously because of insufficient training at ordinary times. After returning, the training volume will be doubled!"
"In the end, you will realize your mistakes and never make them again!"
Several generals quickly agreed.
Duan Zhixuan looked incredulous.
I killed more than 500 pirates and only injured a dozen people. Isn’t that enough?
Duan Zhixuan opened his mouth and looked confused.
This guy Yang Fan is so scary.
Anyone who is his enemy is simply a nightmare.
From this moment on, Duan Zhixuan no longer had any intention of being an enemy of Yang Fan.
Seeing this scene, Yang Fan nodded with satisfaction.
Obviously, the purpose of this trip has been achieved.
Not only did it prevent Duan Zhixuan from having the desire to fight for power, but it also trained his soldiers.
At the same time, not only did they gain a large amount of money, but they also used blood to honor the flags of merchant ships sailing.
It can be said that it kills four birds with one stone.
Back at the dock, a simple memorial ceremony was held.
Fang Jun, Du He and others took commercial ships overseas.
Since then, a new chapter in overseas trade has opened.
After sending the people away, Yang Fan also began to take some time off.
Because the due dates of Wu Meiniang, Princess Changle, and Xiao Shiyun are coming soon.
Therefore, Yang Fan spent most of his time at home with several women.
…
In the governor's back garden, although it was early winter, there were still some flowers in bloom.
The charming fragrance spreads, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"Husband, if you stay with us every day, will you let others gossip?"
"Yes, those censors in the imperial court like to use excuses to arrest people!"
Yang Fan and several women were lying on chairs, chatting wordlessly.
Although the women were happy to be accompanied by their husbands, they could not help but be a little worried.
Of course, even though they say so, they feel that the happiest thing in their lives is to marry Yang Fan.
After all, in this era, when a woman is pregnant, which husband would spend so much time with her?
It would be nice if you don’t go to a brothel to have fun!
Thinking back on the days since their pregnancy, the girls had sweet smiles on their faces.
"Fuck your work, fuck your impeachment, the world is big and my wife is the biggest, who will accompany you if not you?"
Yang Fan squinted his eyes and ate a grape that Concubine Yang brought to his mouth, and said coaxingly.
He didn't even bother to open his eyes.
These days are also the most leisurely days since Yang Fan traveled to the Tang Dynasty.
It’s really like living the life of a wealthy landlord who can only stretch his shirt and open his mouth for food.
Besides, surrounded by beautiful women, I really don’t envy mandarin ducks or immortals.
"My husband is so kind!"
Wu Meiniang stretched her lazy waist and was inexplicably moved.
With such a husband, what more can I ask for?
"Hey, don't I want to accompany the ladies to witness the birth of the baby?"
Yang Fan said with a smile.
Wu Meiniang was about to say something, but her brows wrinkled.
"Husband, Mei Niang always feels a little uncomfortable in her stomach today. Is she about to give birth?"
"Husband, we feel the same way!"
Princess Changle and Xiao Shiyun also responded to the call.
After hearing what the girls said, Yang Fan immediately sat up.
According to his calculations, the girls' due date is within these few days, so they are not really going to give birth!
It’s not easy for a woman to give birth to her first child, so don’t be careless!
"Then I will help you back to your room..."
"Xing'er, Wan'er, help quickly..."
"Junmai, go and invite Taoist Master Sun over..."
Following Yang Fan's order, everyone got busy.
Not long after they returned to the room, the girls groaned and felt more and more pain in their stomachs.
"Sisters, if you feel pain, just shout out. If you hold back, you will easily lose strength."
"After a while, you have to exhale and inhale forcefully, and come out in one breath..."
Concubine Yang is a past person.
Seeing a few women suffering from stomach pain, I started to teach them my experience.
At the same time, the midwife was called.
This made Yang Fan relax a little.
During this time, all the midwives were placed in the house, so they were quite well prepared.
In order to prevent the girls from running out of energy, Yang Fan quickly exchanged some glucose from the system.
This is a great thing to replenish energy.
Generally, women have difficult labor, mostly due to pain and lack of strength.
He doesn't want his woman to be in danger.
Although I have prepared a lot of things before, there is no need to be too nervous.
But now that the end is approaching, it’s time to be nervous.
Any talk of relaxing your mind is nonsense.
Seeing his woman moaning in pain in the room, Yang Fan turned around anxiously.
When I was about to go inside to take a look, I was kicked out by the midwife.
"Grand Governor, please wait outside first, as long as we are here."
In the eyes of the ancients, the scene of giving birth was very dirty, and men were not allowed to be around.
Although Yang Fan didn't believe in these things, he did as the Romans did, so he didn't insist on staying in the room.
Although these women are not obstetricians, they are more experienced.
If you are on the sidelines, not only can you not help them much, but you will also bring pressure to them.
"Ma'am, try harder!"
"ah!"
As time passed by, Wu Meiniang and the girls' pain became obviously more intense.
Several people seemed to be infected and kept moaning.
"Madam, drink some of this glucose. It will take at least a few hours for the baby to be born. You need to save some strength."
Since glucose can replenish energy, Po Wen kept persuading the girls to drink some.
Because they couldn't eat at all at this time.
Of course, these women have also heard about giving birth, and they also know that they really need to replenish their energy at this time.
Otherwise, if you don’t have the strength when the time comes, it will be very difficult to give birth.
Thinking back on it, the severe pain really made me lose my appetite, so I just drank a little.
As time goes by, the sky has slowly turned gray.
But several women were still moaning in pain.
Yang Fan was like a headless fly pacing back and forth in front of several rooms.
Even if you are a time traveler, you will be at a loss when faced with this situation.
"Ah! It hurts..."
As the shouts of the women became louder and louder, Yang Fan became very worried.
Several times I wanted to rush into the delivery room.
However, they were all held tightly by Xi Junmai and others.
"Harder, breathe harder, harder...!"
Po Wen's voice kept reaching Yang Fan's ears.
The night in early winter is actually a bit cool.
But Yang Fan stood outside, sweating on his forehead.
He knew that this was the most dangerous time.
If she can't give birth, she'll be in big trouble.
There are no doctors who perform caesarean sections now.
If one cannot do it well, then it is not a matter of protecting the adults or the children.
"Sir, please be patient! Madam will be fine."
"Besides, the old Taoist is also very good at facial recognition. The ladies are all lucky, so the mother and child will definitely be safe."
Sun Simiao quickly comforted him.
"Taoist Priest, you diagnosed and treated them before, and the fetal position was normal, right?"
Yang Fan couldn't help but ask the question again that he had asked many times.
"Sir, please rest assured that both the ladies and the child are very healthy and it should be easy to give birth."
"Besides, the ladies are very energetic, so there should be no problem."
"According to the old Taoist estimate, Lin'er will be born in less than an hour!"
Sun Simiao vowed to do so.
Not to mention, this was the first time he saw Yang Fan lose his composure.
However, he is really sure.
After all, Yang Fan asked him to come over and check his pulse every few days.
Sun Simiao was still very confident in his medical skills.
Of course, it is really rare to see three women giving birth at the same time.
Sun Simiao couldn't help but sigh, Yang Fan is so lucky!
No wonder he was able to become a frontier official at such a young age.
