Daming pirates

A few days later, after some deliberations, the imperial edict was sent to Laizhou City. Zhu Dadian, Yu Xiaotian and others were praised, and Xiaotian was given the post of hereditary Jinyiwei Qianzong, and was rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and was also rewarded to Xiaotian.

A set of gilt and bright armor is considered a reward for Yu Xiaotian.

To Xiaotian, this amount of money was like pocket money, and he looked down upon him at all. However, it also represented Chongzhen's current attitude towards him, indicating that Chongzhen was still very satisfied with him as a person.

As for others, such as Xu Congzhi, who is now dead due to injuries, the imperial court also gave generous care. In addition, Denglai Governor Xie Lian who guarded Laizhou City, Laizhou Magistrate Zhu Wannian, Denglai Commander-in-Chief Yang Yufan and others were naturally indispensable.

Ichiban.

In addition, arrangements were made for what Zhu Dadian asked about how to deal with the rebel generals. The captured rebel generals were sent to the capital for questioning. The other rebels were treated leniently and sent back to the capital.

Some personnel can be resettled in their place of origin, and some personnel can be recruited into the army. For those Liaodong people who are thieves, Shandong is required to resettle them, and they are not allowed to rebel and cause new troubles.

This kind of thing had nothing to do with Xiaotian originally, but Xiaotian was able to get involved. Among the rebels captured this time, a considerable number of them were from Liaodong, and some of them were from the Dongjiang Army.

The military households or villagers there know the situation in Liaodong very well.

In addition, there are a large number of people who are local civilians and veterans of Shandong who were kidnapped by the rebels. Those who can survive in these troubled times are basically the strongest and the strongest. These people are quite a bucuo labor force.

, after some people are selected, they can be brainwashed and incorporated into the army. These people have seen blood. Once they operate well, they can train a group of tough soldiers for his use.

So Yu Xiaotian had already had the idea of ​​​​this group of people. Now that the imperial edict has come down, Zhu Dadian is required to properly resettle this group of people. For Zhu Dadian, this is a big trouble. To demobilize and resettle these prisoners, it is

Spending money is needed. Shandong's local finance itself has depleted its inventory because of the Denglai Rebellion. Now it can be said that both the vassal treasury and the government treasury have been cleared of money and lost money. Even mice can come out crying.

It can be said that Zhu Dadian was in a dilemma as to how to place these captured soldiers. If he wanted to be lazy and save trouble, he could have pushed these matters aside and ordered each prefecture and county to place them on their own. However, there were a large number of Liaodong people and people among the rebels.

The Denglai people, Liaodong were occupied by the Jiannu slaves, and the people in Dongjiang Town, who were also poorer, were in a mess, and now the Dongjiang Army was also fighting with each other, so they would definitely not be repatriated.

Needless to say, the people of Denglai, although Laizhou has been relieved from the siege, but looking at places like Denglai, except for a few cities that are still in the hands of the government, the countryside outside the city has been completely destroyed by the rebels, and almost few villages and towns have been spared.

,Will

After they are sent back to their hometown, this group of people will have no way to make a living. Sooner or later, they will definitely either continue to be thieves or become bandits. These people are all guys who have seen blood. Once they become bandits and do the business of thieves,

From now on, Shandong will become even more lively.

Zhu Dadian was troubled by this. Although the imperial court had decrees, some of the personnel who were willing to join the army and serve the imperial court could be incorporated into the army for use.

However, the generals are not enthusiastic because this group of people is not trustworthy. In addition, they do not want to have too many soldiers and horses on hand and to feed too many soldiers and horses. They have to spend money. This group of captured soldiers are not from military families.

The land can be cultivated by them, especially the Zhejiang and Sichuan soldiers, who do not want to recruit soldiers from other places, so all the ministries responded indifferently.

Although Yang Yufan, the commander-in-chief of Denglai, is currently short of troops, he does not want these rebels who were once his enemies. Therefore, how to arrange the more than 10,000 captives has become a big problem for Zhu Dadian.

At this time, Yu Xiaotian pretended that he wanted to solve Zhu Dadian's problems and stated that he could solve this problem for Zhu Dadian.

How could Zhu Dadian not know that Yu Xiaotian still occupied Taiyuan Island? Over the years, he had been trying many ways to recruit immigrants to Taiyuan Island. When he heard that Yu Xiaotian was willing to accept these prisoners, he was immediately overjoyed and went directly to the island.

These prisoners were thrown to Yu Xiaotian.

Although these people are all laborers. At present, Denglai and other places have been completely destroyed by the rebels, and the people's livelihood is in ruins. The recovery after the incident will definitely require manpower, but that is a matter of the future. If these people can't handle it well now, there will still be consequences.

There is chaos, and Yu Xiaotian is now willing to contribute to get these people away, which will play a great role in the stability of Denglai and Shandong for a long time to come.

So Zhu Dadian secretly agreed to Yu Xiaotian's proposal and handed over the disposal of these captives to Yu Xiaotian. Yu Xiaotian immediately sent someone to take over the prison camp and began to screen the prisoners, first eliminating some of them.

The brutal ruffians and dregs of the soldiers, and then the remaining people, were sent to Fushan Station in batches and transported by boat.

Dealing with these things really took a lot of time and consumed a lot of food, but Yu Xiaotian didn't care about this. Now his men will send large ships north every day to transport the hungry refugees collected here.

It is a large amount of food and various ammunition supplies. When they return, they will be filled with people. These people will first be sent to Haitan Island for a preliminary quarantine, and then they will be distributed.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian currently has a lot of food stored in Fushansuo, including Yangma Island, and there is no pressure to feed so many people.

Although others were a little surprised that Zhu Dadian had left the matter of handling the captives to Yu Xiaotian, they still turned a blind eye and didn't bother to ask more questions.

This trouble falls on them.

In this way, just to deal with these captives, Yu Xiaotian spent more than ten days outside Laizhou City before he finished dealing with all these prisoners.

Immediately, Zhu Dadian received another batch of transferred rations and began to supervise the army's eastward march again, preparing to conquer Dengzhou and completely eliminate the rebels in Dengzhou.

The rebels invaded Xishan Village after the year. After a few fierce battles with the rebels, they completely established their authority and forced the rebels to bow their heads and submit. They did not dare to cause trouble to Xishan Village anymore. The two sides even started fighting secretly.

In order to trade human beings, the rebels transported "babies" to Xishan Village all day long.

Xishan Village used food or money to settle the settlement with the rebels in exchange for the lives in the hands of the rebels. There was no conflict between the two sides for quite some time.

However, after the beginning of spring in March, the sea ice gradually began to melt, making the relationship between the two sides become tense again. While the rebels captured Dengzhou City, they also captured Dengzhou Water City and were frozen in the water city.

There are a large number of naval warships among them.

Although these warships were burned and scuttled by Zhang Keda, the commander-in-chief of Dengzhou, before the rebels broke through Shuicheng, there were still many usable warships left.

In addition, the rebels also lured the officers and soldiers to deceive a group of officers and soldiers by pretending to surrender. After they landed, they seized their ships, allowing the rebels to immediately control a large number of warships and possess a strong naval force.

combat ability.

Although the quality and performance of the northern naval warships cannot be compared with Yu Xiaotian's naval warships, in the Bohai Bay, in addition to Huanglong in Dongjiang Town who also controls some warships, the rebels

The naval force is already quite powerful.

As the sea ice in the Bohai Bay thawed in the beginning of spring, the rebel navy resumed its ability to go to sea. This is not good news for Xishan Village and Yangma Island.

The reason why the rebels did not dare to cause trouble with them during this period was because they were afraid of the combat power they had here. However, once the sea ice melted, the rebels could use warships to sneak attack on Yangma Island from the sea.

After all, Yangma Island only has one Tuwei, and its defense capability is not very strong. It relies entirely on the infantry and navy of the Yu family army stationed in the Tuwei on the island to guard the place, supplemented by some temporarily trained local warriors, to defend Yangma Island.

Wai Zi.

Once a large number of rebels attack Tuweizi from the sea by boat, the defense pressure will become great for them. After all, they have an extremely limited number of cannons here, and there is a Xishan Village to defend, and there are only two people in Tuweizi.

A twelve-pounder cannon, no matter how powerful it is, cannot hold down a rebel ship with a large number of people.

Just when Liu BuTong and Wu Shengtian were worried about this, several ships flying the Sea Wolf flag finally appeared in the waters east of Yangma Island.

At this moment, Liu BuTong and Wu Shengtian immediately put their hearts in their stomachs. It seems that the higher-ups have not forgotten them and are always paying attention to the situation here. Just when the sea ice begins to melt, the channel is basically restored to navigation capabilities.

Immediately, a warship was sent over.

In addition to a few warships, there were also a large number of cargo ships that followed. The hulls of these ships were quite large. They were basically sand ships or lucky ships with seven to eight hundred materials. The loading capacity was quite strong. Such large ships were used in the north.

It is rare to see it. The largest warship in the hands of the rebels only has about 200 materials. Basically, they are just some single-masted ships with about 100 materials. Placed in front of these warships and cargo ships of Sea Wolf, it is impossible to

Just like a toy.

At this time, nearly 30,000 refugees have been stockpiled in Tuwei on Yangma Island. If the Sea Wolf Group had not transported and stored a large amount of food here before winter, I am afraid that there would have been no food here.

Even so, the food ration in Tuweizi on Yangma Island was cut in half during this period to ensure that before new supplies were obtained, there would not be a shortage of food and a large number of people would starve to death.

Such a small amount of food is only enough for these refugees to maintain the most basic caloric supply, so as not to die of cold and hunger. Most people can barely survive on this food, lying in the earthen fence all day long and trying not to eat.

Move and reduce consumption.

So when they saw a large number of ships coming, Liu BuTong and Wu Shengtian almost fainted with joy, and hurriedly took people to the pier to greet the ships coming this time.
