Chapter 608 Consolidating Achievements
On October 10, the third year of Tianxuan, the navy and army of the Yizhen Territory took joint operations, and it took only three and a half hours to recover the empty island that had been occupied by the Mughal Empire invasion fleet for about a week.
Qu Mao did not leave Sky Island immediately, but in the five-story building in the different town of Sky Island, he directed the army and navy heroes, and the managers of Sky Island to clean the battlefield, evacuate residents, and appease residents.
In the whole battle, the territory of Yizhen only paid the price of being sunk 15 warships and killing 31,000 prisoners of war by the Mughal Empire invasion fleet, and captured 500 troop carriers, 92 various types of warships and air vehicles from the Mughal Empire invasion fleet. The island's Mughal Empire invasion fleet landed a total of 120,000 prisoners of war.
For these prisoners of war, Qu Mao’s idea is to disarm them and transport them to Zhongdao and the four southern islands for centralized custody as soon as possible. Even the surrender commander of the Mughal Empire’s invasion fleet, Qu Mao didn’t bother to see them.
The short period of peace is very precious to the territory of Yizhen. During this period of peace, the territory of Yizhen must not only digest all the prisoners of war, but also replenish the development speed that has been affected since the outbreak of war on September 2.
So as soon as the battle was over, the heroes of the navy and army got busy again. In the five-story building in Yizhen, Qu Mao himself began to think about how to stabilize the territory of Yizhen from September 2 to the present. results.
First of all, the remaining prisoners of war must be asked to persuade Zhen Fu to surrender. The difference is the potential total population of Yizhen territory. Killing or releasing Qu Mao will definitely not agree.
Besides, the expansion of the navy and army of the territory of Yizhen has to rely on the source of high-quality fighters from these prisoners of war.
As for the military ports and naval barracks on the United Islands and the Dry Islands, Qu Mao has been urging Sylvia Ocean to hurry up and build them since the end of the battle with the Mughal Empire invasion fleet on October 5.
The four large naval buildings on these two islands have used construction acceleration props since the beginning of their construction, and during the construction process, they still adopted the double synchronization method of on-duty construction and real construction researched by Kong Ming. It's January of the fourth year of Tianxuan.
After these prisoners of war were transported to Zhongdao and the four southern islands, they were said to be detained in a centralized manner, but more of them would definitely be assigned to the four construction sites of the Navy and the construction sites of the seven joint island projects in the joint islands.
Franklin Jin and Wang Mao were originally in the United Islands, but after receiving Su Yan’s remote communication, they also took boats to Sky Island one after another. Looking at the trampled pastures, they almost burst into tears.
But after hearing Qu Mao’s ideas and requests from other people, the two heroes immediately began to organize the residents of Sky Island to replant pasture seeds. The residents of Sky Island are relatively stable, and they still recognize Franklin Jin and Wang Mao. The old sky island manager.
Empty Island where new pasture seeds were sprinkled, Franklin Jin and Wang Mao also organized the residents to water. It is estimated that new pasture shoots will grow in early November.
Thanks to the help of Franklin Jin and Wang Mao in planting pastures, the heroes of Sky Island were able to spare enough time to give advanced levels to the fighters participating in the defense of the different town of Sky Island, and at the same time use the barracks in the different town of Sky Island to retrain Su The 200,000 army soldiers Nan sent back from Liuwang Principality.
Of the 200,000 army soldiers, Tier 3 fighters still occupy the majority, but there are nearly 10,000 Tier 4 fighters, and even about 1,000 Tier 5 fighters. Once Su Yan lands in Liuwang Principality, these 200,000 fighters are definitely one A military force not to be underestimated.
In the sea battle with the Mughal Empire invasion fleet on October 5th, 480,000 prisoners of war were captured one after another. When the territory of Yizhen counterattacked Sky Island, there were still 320,000 people who refused to surrender.
After defeating Sky Island, only 35,000 of the 320,000 prisoners of war died in battle, and Yizhen territory captured about 120,000 landing troops from the Mughal Empire invasion fleet from Sky Island, so the total number of prisoners of war still reached about 410,000.
After all the recruits have been surrendered, the total population of Yizhen's territory will reach more than 4.8 million. In addition to the use of the recruitment coupons for 198,000 self-owned residents purchased by Zhao Fuzhi and Lai Dima in early November, the total population of Yizhen's territory will reach 11 million. It can exceed 5 million people at the beginning of the month.
With this population base, even if the navy has 2 million soldiers, the army has 1 million soldiers, and Su Yanfu's military strength is 1 million, Qu Mao feels that he can accept it.
Of course, this still requires Zhen Fu to work harder to recruit all these prisoners of war as surrendered soldiers, surrendered soldiers, or surrendered soldiers to free civilians in Yizhen territory as soon as possible.
Before the end of the peace period, the territory of Yizhen must stabilize the results of fighting against different invading enemies in September and October. This is the death order Qu Mao gave to all the heroes of the territory of Yizhen.
Liu Qianhui had already screened the heroes and fleet commanders among the captured people of the Anti-Yi Town Alliance one by one on Ji Island and other islands.
All the captured prisoners of the Anti-Yizhen Alliance have been disposed of, and not all of them are in Ji Island now, so Liu Qianhui also has to move between different islands to identify them one by one.
Of course, after all the battles were over, wandering heroes also began to appear in Huitong Town Tavern and Yi Town Tavern. Unfortunately, the total number was not that many. The bartenders and waiters in each tavern can only use gold coins to stabilize the four wandering heroes.
Kong Ming returned to the outlying island immediately after the war. The textile factory on the outlying island that Huang Po was in charge of was about to start production. Even on October 10, when the Yizhen territory counterattacked the empty island, Kong Ming did not participate. In Kong Ming’s view, this was three fingers River snails are a sure thing.
The living supplies of the 100 sea ships Su Nan supplemented were also fully utilized. Otherwise, many prisoners of war who had obtained the status of free citizens in the territory of Yi Town might not even have a bed to sleep in, but they would have a house.
Seeing that everyone in the territory of Yizhen is very busy, and the population is so large, Qu Mao, who returned to the lord's hut of Yizhen, felt a little relieved.
On the lord's communication channel, Fuzhi is still arguing with Qu Mao about the matter of supporting 2 million reinforcements from the Principality of Fulu.
Qu Mao naturally didn’t want Fuzhi to put himself in a more dangerous state because of his own territory. Fuzhi was a little relieved after reporting the victory of the battle with the Mughal Empire’s invasion fleet.
However, Qu Mao also negotiated with Fu Zhi and Lai Dima. In the early morning of November 1, ordinary residents’ recruitment vouchers would still be purchased. The proportion of residents from prisoners of war increased. Naturally, Qu Mao could only purchase more self-owned residents to reduce this problem. Disadvantages of the source structure of residents.
The number of residents is the solid foundation for future development.
