Chapter 141 Laizhou Relief

Whether the Denglai Rebellion can be quelled this time, Zhu Dadian has already staked his fortune on Yu Xiaotian and his Fujian soldiers. The Fujian soldiers Yu Xiaotian has are elite soldiers, sharp firearms, and ferocious.

He is good at fighting, and before the battle, he can definitely fight one against ten. Others are fine, but if Yu Xiaotian is offended and he refuses to work hard, he, Zhu Dadian, will be miserable.

Therefore, Zhu Dadian did not dare to use force against Xiaotian. After retreating from the left and right, he persuaded Xiaotian with gentle words and expressed his righteousness, even though his mouth was dry and his tongue was dry. Yu Xiaotian finally looked at his face and agreed to take this time.

Forty percent of the captured rebel food and weapons were given to other generals.

But no matter how much he said, he would quit. As for the reason, Yu Xiaotian didn't want to say more. Zhu Dadian also knew it well. Everyone is smart. Yu Xiaotian can agree to give 40%, which is already quite good.

Give him face.

In addition, considering that Laizhou City had been besieged for several months, the city had already run out of ammunition and food, and the military rations could not be transported for a while. Therefore, under Zhu Dadian's persuasion, Yu Xiaotian agreed to take out another 30% and lend it to the Laizhou City Guards first.

Army to stabilize the situation in Laizhou City, but Zhu Dadian will return the 30% of the food to Yu Xiaotian the next time the army food arrives.

In the end, Zhu Dadian could only hold his nose and admit it. After sending Yu Xiaotian away, he almost cursed, but in the end he endured it. Who wants him to expect others to work for him now? Who can do more, eat more, and occupy more

, it’s better than letting those who can’t work take more.

After thinking about this, Zhu Dadian felt mentally balanced. He thought about it carefully. Although Yu Xiaotian was arrogant, he still worked very hard during this period. He was also quite respectful to him, although he failed to obey orders.

Yes, but Yu Xiaotian still gave him the face that should be given to him. After thinking of this, Zhu Dadian stopped complaining.

As for the fact that he heard that Yu Xiaotian found thousands of young women in the rebel camp, Zhu Dadianquan had never heard of it. These women must be civilian girls captured by the rebels. Logically, these civilian girls should be dismissed on the spot.

, send him back to his hometown.

But right now, the war is in chaos, and most of Denglai has been destroyed by the rebels. Even if these women are sent home, they probably won’t have their families anymore,?

?In the end, these women who had no way to make a living either starved to death or fell into prostitution. Now the other generals are jealous, and they just want to indulge in animal addiction.

If Yu Xiaotian doesn't give it to these guys, then let Yu Xiaotian handle it by himself. He can do whatever he likes! As long as he doesn't know about it, everything will be fine.

After the siege of Laizhou City was relieved, the government troops arrived directly at the foot of Laizhou City, informed Laizhou City that the rebels had fled, and asked the Laizhou City garrison and generals to leave the city to welcome the current Shandong governor and the government troops into the city.

However, the people in Laizhou City are really afraid of being tortured by the rebels. Although they also know that many government troops have come to suppress the rebellion recently, they have also seen the rebels retreating and being chased by the government troops. They have also seen

A large number of rebels fled towards Dengzhou.

However, they still did not dare to believe the words of these officers and soldiers, fearing that this was another conspiracy of the rebels, so not only did they refuse to open the door to greet them, but they also loudly ordered the officers and soldiers who arrived outside the city gate to retreat immediately. Otherwise, they would

We're going to bombard them.

The officers and soldiers who ran to call the door were very angry, but there was nothing they could do. In the end, the two eunuchs sent by Gao Qiqian who came here with the army to supervise the army on his behalf came to the outside of the city gate and informed the people inside the city.

Only then did the defenders, Xie Lian, Zhu Wannian and Yang Yufan in the city believe that this was true.

So these people immediately burst into tears, knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the capital to thank him. Then they opened the city gate and welcomed Zhu Dadian into Laizhou City.

That night, the Laizhou garrison and generals, headed by Xie Lian, the governor of Denglai, held a banquet in the city to thank the generals who came to rescue them this time. All the generals were invited to the city to participate in the banquet.

Zhu Dadian was indispensable during the banquet and introduced Yu Xiaotian, who played an indispensable role in the rescue battle. Only then did everyone understand the fighting situation in the south of Laizhou City in the past month. After learning that the rebels pretended to surrender that day,

On this occasion, it was Yu Xiaotian who sent troops to expose the rebel conspiracy and saved the lives of Zhu Wannian and others. Both Xie Lian and Zhu Wannian condescended to stand up and personally thank Yu Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian still admires Zhu Wannian and Yang Yufan quite a lot. It can be said that these two people are loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Although they are definitely not on the same path as him, they might encounter each other in the future.

However, he still admired the integrity and courage of these two people, so Yu Xiaotian was also very polite to them. He toasted and clinked glasses with them frequently during the dinner, and they got along quite happily.

The liberation of Laizhou was undoubtedly a major turning point for the Denglai Rebellion. With the change of attitude of the Ming Dynasty, the voice of the governor has basically disappeared. The current emperor Chongzhen also hates these rebels to the extreme, which also makes

The officers and generals who entered the suppression force completely gave up the idea of ​​appeasement and could only bite the bullet and fight to the death with the rebels.

In addition, in this war, Chongzhen used the Yu Jiajun, a buggy army, which made Yu Xiaotian and the Yu Jiajun at his hand famous in this battle.

After the news of the rescue of Laizhou reached the capital, the government and the public burst into cheers. The long-lost smile finally appeared on Chongzhen's face. He even praised Zhu Dadian as a good minister. He had chosen the right person to send him to Shandong to lead the campaign.

Of course, in addition to patting himself on the back, Zhu Dadian also focused on the important role played by Yu Xiaotian and his Fujian soldiers in this battle. Zhu Dadian said in the memorial that Yu Xiaotian

The emperor is very strict, and the officers and soldiers under his command have strict military discipline. They dare to use their lives, are brave and good at fighting, and have rescued friendly troops many times against the odds. The rebels have all collapsed and fled in front of his troops.

In this battle, Yu Xiaotian and the Fujian soldiers under his command made the most contribution and played an irreplaceable role, so I ask the Holy One to commend them.

After reading the memorial, Chongzhen learned about the details of the battle, and then looked at the battle report sent back by Gao Qiqian. After comparing the two battle reports in detail, he felt that there was nothing wrong, including the fact that Gao Qiqian sent him back

The memorial also praised Yu Xiaotian and the Fujian soldiers under his command, who were really capable of fighting and quite brave. The Fujian soldiers were good at using firearms and often defeated the rebels.

Who is Yu Xiaotian? Of course he will never forget this ability to plan things in advance. Although he does not expect the court to give him any bigger officials, most eunuchs are villains, especially Gao Qi.

A guy like Qian is a villain among villains. If he doesn't take care of this guy, he will definitely not say a good word for him. Yu Xiaotian doesn't want to be plotted by a villain at this time.

After all, in the next period of time, he will still use the tiger skin to pull the banner, using the riddled tiger skin of the Ming Dynasty to carry out his important affairs. It is also a good idea to make friends with Gao Qiqian, the ministers around Chongzhen.

For this kind of investment, the more people speak good words for him in the capital, the easier it will be for him to do things locally in the future, otherwise he will encounter great resistance.

So when Yu Xiaotian learned that Gao Qiqian was sent to supervise the army, he had already arranged for people to rush to Qingzhou Mansion, secretly asked to see Gao Qiqian, and gave Gao Qiqian a very generous gift.

After Gao Qiqian received such a heavy gift, of course he would look at Xiaotian differently, and Yu Xiaotian also took care of the eunuchs Gao Qiqian sent to the army to monitor the armies for him. These eunuchs were short-handed.

, eating people is soft-spoken, so naturally they will not give Yu Xiaotian any black bricks.

In addition, what Yu Xiaotian did in front of the army really left them speechless. In addition to robbing the rebel camp and killing friendly soldiers and generals, even a blind man could see through this battle.

It was Yu Xiaotian's efforts to turn the tide that enabled the army to finally win the great victory in Laizhou.

In the Battle of Laizhou, the rebels suffered heavy losses. More than half of the nearly 40,000 rebels that the rebels managed to muster were lost in this battle. In addition to being beheaded by thousands of people, they also captured more than 10,000 rebels.

General Kong Youde only led more than 10,000 rebels and fled to Huang County. If the official army had not led the army to rob the rebel camp after the victory, Yu Xiaotian had led the army to withdraw its troops in advance and end the pursuit of the rebels.

, this time the rebel losses will be greater, and it may not even be impossible for the entire army to be annihilated.

Zhu Dadian felt a little regretful about not being able to wipe out the rebels this time, but he also knew the virtues of the officers and generals. The idea of ​​​​making money for these people was always implemented in their actions.

middle.

Even Yu Xiaotian is no exception, but he can't blame Yu Xiaotian for this matter, because if Yu Xiaotian doesn't do this, others will do the same, which may eventually lead to the biggest disaster in Yu Xiaotian.

The strength, but the advantages are all taken by others. In that case, I don’t know what Yu Xiaotian will do after that!

Now that Yu Xiaotian has taken most of the advantage, and others have benefited from it to some extent, the matter has finally been suppressed without causing a bigger trouble. Zhu Dadian can only console himself with this.

After reading the two battle reports, Chongzhen was very pleased. During the morning court session, he specifically called out Yu Xiaotian's name and praised him unstintingly in the court hall, calling him the pillar of the country and expressing his gratitude for the original

All the ministers who recommended Xiaotian to lead the army northward also gave their approval, saying that they had the ability to recognize people and recruit talents for the country, and that they had meritorious service.

Therefore, many people benefited a lot from this great victory in Laizhou and were very happy. Those officials who had recommended Xiaotian to Chongzhen were naturally also very happy. These people had recommended Xiaotian to Chongzhen.

He transferred Yu Xiaotian to lead his troops north to quell the rebellion. If Yu Xiaotian did not do well after leading his troops north, then once Chongzhen became angry, although they would not lose their heads afterwards, at least they would be retained by Chongzhen.

A vague impression requires some responsibility.

But now it seems that they really did the right thing when they accepted gifts and money to recommend Yu Xiaotian, and now they can finally rest assured.
