Brigade Commander Zhu took the statistical table handed over by the staff officer, looked through it carefully, and then handed it to Wei Xiaobao and asked for his opinion: "Commander-in-chief, what should we do with these prisoners?"

Wei Xiaobao pondered for a moment and replied with a serious face: "These beasts dared to massacre in Shanghai County. Their hands are stained with the blood of innocent people. Such cruel enemies must not be let off easily. Let them pay for their blood debt with blood and shoot them all!" After saying this, his eyes flashed with determination and anger.

After hearing this, Suo Etu, He Yu, Fulata and Li Chengdong felt nervous. The Tiandi Army won such a great victory, but there were no casualties. What a shocking thing. Moreover, Wei Xiaobao killed more than 2000 foreign devils without blinking an eye. Although these foreign devils massacred the people and deserved to be killed, killing them all at once would inevitably make people feel cruel.

"Lord Suo, Shanghai County is already in ruins, and there are corpses everywhere. I'm afraid there's been a plague. I'd like to trouble you to gather the nearby military and civilians to deal with it quickly." Wei Xiaobao said.

"Of course. Don't worry, brother Wei. I will arrange it immediately." Soetu said.

After dealing with the matter in Shanghai County, Wei Xiaobao prepared to lead the army to evacuate. Suo Etu knew that now was the best time to examine the strength of the Tiandi Army. He was unwilling to give up and said to Wei Xiaobao: "Brother Wei, where are you going to evacuate?"

"Wusongkou, I wonder if the war there is over?" Wei Xiaobao replied.

"Brother, you have been traveling by boat and train for the past few days, and you are frightened by today's battle. You are physically and mentally exhausted. Can I take your boat to Wusongkou?" Soetu asked tentatively.

In his heart, he was actually looking forward to Wei Xiaobao's answer, but he was also worried about being rejected. After all, although their relationship was good, they still needed to be handled with caution when it came to sensitive issues such as military secrets.

"Do you want to watch the game?" Wei Xiaobao replied.

Wei Xiaobao saw through Suo Etu's thoughts at a glance and laughed in his heart. Since the other party was so curious, why not give him a chance to let him see the power of his ironclad warship.

At the same time, this is also a good opportunity to demonstrate the strength of the Tiandi Army, and perhaps even influence Kangxi's view of the Tiandi Army.

"I've heard that Brother Wei's ironclad ships are invincible in the world, so I've wanted to observe and learn from them. Now that there's a rare war, Brother Wei won't be shy about it, right?" Soetu said.

He knew that Wei Xiaobao was a smart man and should be able to understand his intentions. Moreover, he believed that as long as he showed enough sincerity and respect, Wei Xiaobao would not refuse his request.

"Lord Suo, what is our relationship? What's there to be shy about? How can we be so formal? Of course you are welcome to go if you want to." Wei Xiaobao thought to himself, I will take this opportunity to show you the strength of the Tiandi Army so that you can go back and open the eyes of that self-satisfied little emperor.

Seeing that Soetu was able to go to visit the famous ironclad ship, He Yu, Fulata and Li Chengdong also became itchy.

They were all full of curiosity and yearning for Wei Xiaobao's ironclad warship, hoping to see its charm with their own eyes. Especially He Yu, who was scolded by Wei Xiaobao before, was too embarrassed to speak directly, so he had to ask Etu.

"Master Zhongtang, can you take me with you?" He Yu was too embarrassed to ask Wei Xiaobao directly, so he had to ask Suo Etu. He knew that Suo Etu had a close relationship with Wei Xiaobao, and if Suo Etu was willing to help, then he would have a chance to go with him.

On the other side, Fu Lata and Li Chengdong also said at the same time: "Master Zhongtang, take me with you!"

Of course, Soetu couldn't make a direct decision, so he looked at Wei Xiaobao with an inquiring look.

Wei Xiaobao shrugged and said, "Whatever you want!"

Suo Etu was relieved and said, "Governor Fu will stay and coordinate with the surrounding county governments to provide manpower and resources to handle the post-war reconstruction of Shanghai County. Lord He and General Li will accompany me!"

After hearing Suo Etu decide who would be the observers, Wei Xiaobao said, "Well, Lord Suo will take my yacht, and the other two will squeeze into the soldiers' landing craft."

After Wei Xiaobao finished speaking, he took Shuang'er and Ling Zhao and walked towards the Huangpu River.

Suo Etu and the other two hurriedly followed and soon arrived at the riverside.

Wei Xiaobao took Suo Etu's hand and boarded the Commander yacht, which is 26.8 meters long and 5.2 meters wide. It has a streamlined design, a submersible cabin, and extremely luxurious interior decoration. This yacht is not only gorgeous in appearance, but also powerful in function. It can sail freely on the sea and is a product that is ahead of its time.

After Soetu got on the boat, his eyes were wide open and his mouth was wide open, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.

He saw sailless automatic artifacts, impurity-free colored glass, leather-wrapped sofas, invisible heavy machine guns that killed people within 5000 meters, and torpedoes that fired automatically with compressed air, etc. These were things he had never seen before, and he was extremely shocked and amazed.

He Yu and Li Chengdong were assigned to two landing craft respectively. They were full of curiosity and expectation about this novel thing.

When they learned that the foreign ships on the Huangpu River today were defeated by the heavy machine guns on the landing craft, they became very interested in this mysterious weapon.

If they had not been driven away by the squad leader on the ship, they might have stayed at the bow, holding the heavy machine gun and wanting to study it thoroughly.

On the Huangpu River, a luxury yacht was speeding ahead like an arrow, followed closely by hundreds of landing craft, which were like a giant steel dragon, speeding across the river. Each landing craft was equipped with an advanced power system and moved down the river at an astonishing speed of about 30 kilometers per hour.

This huge fleet formed a long battle line on the river. At first glance, the densely packed ships looked like a steel forest, giving people a shocking visual impact. This spectacular scene amazed people on both sides of the Huangpu River. Many people thought that this sailless and automatic ship was the Shenzhou in the Dragon Palace, and they quickly knelt down to worship it...

Suo Etu was inspired to write a poem when he saw the fleet behind the yacht: "Leaning on the sword, I stand alone in the East Sea, and Fusang is now under my command. The clouds and mist on the island will soon disappear, and the flags will fly up and down in the sky. The firelight of the fleet will shake the Milky Way, and the singing will overwhelm the Dragon Palace. In the sunset, the sails are approaching, and the warriors are fighting with their backs to the water."

"Good poem, good poem. I didn't expect Lord Suo to have such literary talent?" Wei Xiaobao looked at Soetu in confusion. Although he didn't understand the charm of the poem, he still praised him politely.

Suo Etu smiled and shook his head, explaining: "Brother, I don't have such literary talent. This poem is "The Boat Master" written by Yu Dayou in the Ming Dynasty. It describes the heroic scene of the Ming navy going out to sea to fight against the Japanese pirates."

Wei Xiaobao nodded and said with emotion: "There is no need to worry about the Japanese pirates now. They have important things to do and will never come to China to rob property again."
