However, after Yu Xiaotian was ordered to set off, it only took more than half a month from his departure point in Fushan to Pingduzhou. Yu Xiaotian first "uncovered" Gujiazhuang's attempt to collude with the rebels in Jiaozhou City.

The counterattack to seize Jiaozhou City, and then in less than ten days, defeated the rebels several times in a row (including fighting against a small group of rebels scattered outside Pingduzhou City), and now they actually defeated Pingduzhou in one fell swoop.

recover.

This is really awesome, simply too awesome! This is also the first city actually controlled by the rebels that the official army has officially recovered since the rebellion. Such news undoubtedly gave Zhu Dadian a shot of stimulant.

, so he hurriedly wrote memorials, sent them to the capital, and reported victory to the court. On the other hand, he hurriedly sent people to take over Pingdu Prefecture, and also hurriedly allocated all kinds of money, food, gunpowder, etc. to the Yu family army.

Materials.

Zhu Dadian was really happy. The arrival of Yu Xiaotian and his troops really solved a big problem for him. This guy really lived up to the reputation he had gained in Fujian, and the Fujian soldiers and horses under his command were really good.

A strong army, so capable of fighting, the rebels seemed to be no match for them.

But he didn't know that Yu Xiaotian didn't expend much effort in the battles he fought in Pingdu. He had to deal with the rebels entrenched in Pingdu Prefecture. After several days of fighting, the number of soldiers under his command could be lost.

Said to be negligible, the battle loss ratio was almost a hundred to one. Two, the rebels lost hundreds of people, and he only lost one or two. The biggest loss was the consumption of part of the ammunition, and even the cannons were not used.

Pingdu City was restored.

In the battle report, Yu Xiaotian deliberately exaggerated his losses, claiming that the losses were also very large. He just didn't want Zhu Dadian and the court to know too much about his combat effectiveness. At the moment, he just wanted to pacify Denglai.

The rebellion extended its tentacles to Shandong.

He didn't want to cause trouble. In the end, the emperor was happy and transferred him to Liaodong to build slaves. With his ability, it wasn't really a big problem to go to build slaves now, but the relationship in Liaodong was

The Ning Army and the Dongjiang Army are fighting on their own. As a small general, he will definitely be controlled by other officials. Not only will he completely lose his autonomy, he will have to deal with the cowardly Guan Ning Army at any time.

Be prepared to be stabbed in the back by them.

In addition, Yu Xiaotian has no intention of destroying Jiannu at the moment. In his eyes, the Jiannu army is no longer a formidable opponent. On the contrary, it is a great helper in his future competition in the Central Plains. He has destroyed Jiannu now.

If you say that, wouldn’t the Ming Dynasty have recovered its vitality?

Once he officially rises up one day and declares his intention to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty can mobilize the power of the whole country to deal with him!

That's why he didn't want to completely become the weapon of the Ming Dynasty and be used as a gunman by Chongzhen. He wanted to watch with his own eyes the situation of the Ming Dynasty, gradually and completely decaying, until it finally reached the point where it was beyond control, and then he immediately struck the sword.

, to turn the tide for the Han nation and rebuild the country.

Therefore, although he killed the rebels in Pingdu Prefecture, he was still fighting? In the battle report, he deliberately exaggerated his losses, indicating that after this battle, he had to rest for a certain period of time before he could continue to advance towards Laizhou.

, otherwise the possibility of his failure is very high.

Zhu Dadian must be relying on him so much now. When he said this, Zhu Dadian would definitely not dare to let him go alone and go to Laizhou to rescue the siege. He could do the counterinsurgency work himself, but he couldn't let those Shandong soldiers do it.

The soldiers, Zhejiang soldiers, and Sichuan soldiers are too idle. At least let them run around and suffer a little loss. Otherwise, it will be too cheap for those scumbags.

Zhu Dadian really didn't understand the real situation, and he also believed that the rebels were very powerful. Although Yu Xiaotian led his Fujian soldiers and horses to achieve a great victory, they must have suffered a lot of losses. After all, Pingdu Prefecture was a stronghold.

It is not easy to conquer a city. Even if he knew about Yu Xiaotian's tactics, he would not have guessed that Yu Xiaotian would achieve such a great victory at such a small price.

So Zhu Dadian quickly sent people to Pingdu Prefecture to appease Yu Xiaotian, and agreed to Yu Xiaotian's request, allowing Yu Jiajun to rest for ten days and a half in Pingdu Prefecture. In addition, he also stated that he would

He tried his best to provide Yu Xiaotian with food and fodder to ensure that Fujian officers and soldiers received adequate supplies.

Of course, the people he sent to Pingdu also shouldered another responsibility. One was to take over Pingdu City to prevent Pingdu City from being in the hands of Fujian officers and soldiers for too long and causing too much harm to Pingdu City. In addition, they also wanted to correct this.

Yu Xiaotian declared that he had killed more than a thousand rebels. The heads were piled up in a big pile. He had to sort them out as soon as possible. The weather was getting warmer and warmer. The heads were piled up.

If they are put together, they will soon rot, and if they are calibrated by then, they may not be able to figure out the reason.

A few days later, a group of people appeared outside Pingdu City. The person sent by Zhu Dadian was Zhao Shantang, the newly appointed magistrate of Pingdu Prefecture. Zhao Shantang turned out to be the magistrate of Anqiu County in Qingzhou, Shandong Province. This time he was temporarily arrested.

In order to pacify the governor of the state, Baizhao came to take up his post.

Along the way, the newly appointed Zhao Zhizhou can be said to have been fetching water from fifteen buckets in his heart. He was restless. As an official, he certainly knew the virtues of officers and soldiers. Pingdu Prefecture was captured by the rebels first.

The disaster must have been serious. Now that the Fujian army has captured Pingdu City, they will inevitably have to do some mischief in the city.

This time he came to Pingdu to take up a post. He was actually unwilling to do so. However, the imperial court had orders and he did not dare not to come. However, in his heart, he was already sure that Pingdu City was in complete chaos.

Now that he is taking up a position here, he is simply taking over a hot piece of taro.

He himself didn't know how to deal with the chaos in front of him after arriving in Pingdu. Although this time he came to Pingdu to take office, Zhu Dadian specially allocated 500 Shandong soldiers to accompany him to garrison Pingdu.

But he also knew the virtues of the Shandong soldiers he brought. Although as the main local army, these Shandong soldiers would not cause too much trouble, but Pingdu City was currently controlled by the Fujian soldiers. He

If you bring troops here, will the Fujian soldiers honestly give up Pingdu City?

Not to mention how bad Zhao Zhizhou's mood was along the way, and he had never had any dealings with Fujian officers and soldiers, and he didn't know if Yu Xiaotian was easy to serve. It was now a time of war and chaos, and the rebels were in Laizhou.

The siege of Laizhou City could be said to be very close to Pingdu. He could only rely on Yu Xiaotian and the Fujian soldiers and horses under his command to defend Pingdu City.

If Yu Zongbing is not easy to serve, then he can only admit that he is unlucky and pinch his nose to admit it. After all, Pingdu City was conquered by others and has nothing to do with Mao. If he really doesn't want his subordinates to

If Zhao Shantang withdraws from the city, he really has no choice but to let it go. He only hopes that these Fujian soldiers will not kill everyone in Pingdu City now.

But just as he was about to arrive at the west gate of Pingdu City anxiously, he looked up from a distance and saw a large number of black spots hanging on the city gate. As an old official who has been an official for more than 20 years, how could he

He couldn't guess what they were. These black spots must be human heads. His heart suddenly sank and he screamed inwardly. After all, this Fujian soldier went on a killing spree in Pingdu City.

So he felt even more uneasy and cautiously walked toward the west gate with five hundred Shandong soldiers who came to guard Pingdu City.

After a while, a cavalry team blocked their way, ordered them to dismount their horses and sedan chairs, and accepted interrogation. They were also asked to identify themselves and produce documents to prove their identities.

This group of Fujian cavalry was well-equipped, each one looked extremely tough, and exuded an awe-inspiring murderous aura. It frightened these Shandong soldiers and quickly stopped, watching eagerly as Zhao Zhizhou came forward to deal with it.

Zhao Shantang had no choice but to look at these arrogant Fujian generals and knew that he could not fight with these ruffians. Under this chaotic scene, the civil servants were obviously not as strong as before. Although he felt a little insulted, he still couldn't.

In desperation, he had no choice but to get off the sedan chair and ask his servants to take the imperial edict to inform these Fujian officers and soldiers of their identities.

After hearing that this group of people was escorting the newly appointed Pingdu Magistrate to take office, the attitude of these Fujian officers and soldiers immediately improved a lot. The leader got off his horse and went to greet Zhao Shantang, and said to Zhao Shantang: "Our general has already camped in the north of the city.

, have been waiting for Mr. Zhao to come! Now the city has been suppressed and stabilized by our general, and we are just waiting for Mr. Zhao to enter the city and take over the affairs of the city.

Our general is currently engaged in military affairs and is handling military affairs in the camp. If Mr. Zhao is free, you might as well go to our camp and meet our general!"

Zhao Shantang felt a little relieved when he saw that these Fujian soldiers were not too rude to him. He was also a little surprised that Yu Zongbing actually set up a camp outside the city and did not let all his soldiers go.

Being stationed in the city, this somewhat surprised him.

He heard that General Yu himself was not living in the city at the moment. Instead, he was living in a camp outside the city and was still supervising military affairs. This surprised him even more.

Generally speaking, most of the generals of the Ming Dynasty were greedy for pleasure. They would never sit down if they could lie down, never stand if they could sit, never ride a horse if they could sit in a sedan chair, never walk if they could ride a horse, and never walk if they could live in the city.

If you don't live in a military camp and can be comfortable, you will never treat yourself badly.

It stands to reason that the accommodation conditions in the city must be much better than those in military camps. Now there are many houses of wealthy families in the government offices in the city empty. If you just find a place and have a few maids to serve you, it will definitely be better than that in the military camp.

It is much more comfortable to live in a tent in the army camp.

But I didn't expect that Yu Zongbing would give up the good conditions and live in the camp outside the city to take charge of the camp. This is really contrary to common sense.
