Daming pirates

As for Zhifu Island and Fushansuo, Yu Xiaotian said hello to Zhu Dadian when he left. These two places are still under the control of his men for the time being. The reason is very simple, that is, he does not know when the imperial court may

He will still be used. If he is allowed to go north again, these two places will inevitably be used as landing sites.

If his people withdraw now, these two places may be abandoned at any time. At that time, it will take a lot of work, time and effort, and it will cost a lot of money. This is not serious. If something happens in the future, he will go north.

If so, because the dock facilities here are not complete, he cannot come here as soon as possible, and delaying the imperial order will probably have more impact.

Although Zhu Dadian felt that it was a bit unreasonable for Yu Xiaotian to withdraw his troops but not withdraw his troops from these two places, and still leave people to control these two places, but the Ming Dynasty was currently in chaos, and the imperial court would not pay attention to this small matter. In addition, Yu Xiaotian

Xiaotian made it clear that he might be transferred to the north by the imperial court in the future. These two places are the places he needs to use as ports. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid he will be blamed.

In addition, although this matter is unreasonable, the Ming Dynasty has always paid attention to a fait accompli. Since Yu Xiaotian has already occupied these two places, as long as his men don't mess around here and cause big troubles,

Then no one would want to mess with him.

So Zhu Dadian did not force Yu Xiaotian to divulge these two places. It was regarded as acquiescence to hand over these two places to Yu Xiaotian's men for control, but asked Yu Xiaotian to strictly order his men not to visit these two places.

To avoid causing trouble and causing impeachment by other Shandong officials, as long as he can do this, he will only occupy it temporarily.

Yu Xiaotian immediately promised that he would never let his remaining men mess around in these two places. As long as someone dares to mess around here, he will not be lenient after receiving the news, but he also hopes that Zhu Dadian will remind nearby prefectures and counties.

The officials will less likely cause trouble to them, and both sides will definitely be able to live in peace.

Zhu Dadian and Yu Xiaotian finally reached an agreement on this matter, and Yu Xiaotian was satisfied and returned to Fujian with his troops.

It is said that there are only two places, Zhifuwan Qishan Institute and Fushan Institute, but Zhu Dadian does not know that the men sent by Yu Xiaotian have penetrated deep into the ground of the entire Denglai prefectures and counties, using their powerful weapons in local areas.

Economic strength and military force are taking root in various places, quickly rising among the local people, becoming an emerging force outside the local gentry group that was severely damaged and attacked after the rebellion, and will form an absolute power in Denglai from now on.

Yu Zi's circle of influence.

Important islands in Shandong such as Yangma Island, Changdao, and Lingshan Island have now been given the surname Yu, and have become Yu Xiaotian's secret sea base on the northern coast, whether it is to smuggle northern products to North Korea, Japan, or even slaves in the future.

, or if one day he leads his troops north to attack the capital, these places will be the bridgeheads he leaves behind.

In short, Yu Xiaotian led his troops north to quell the rebellion this time, and the result was very satisfying to him. He accomplished everything he wanted to do, and also gained a lot of benefits. In the past year or so, in addition to getting back from Shandong

In addition to the hundreds of thousands of immigrants, he also took the opportunity to bring back more than 30,000 immigrants from Liaodong. When he goes through the north in the future, these people will become his leading party and even vanguard.

In addition, among the immigrants brought back during this period, women of marriageable age accounted for a large proportion, which can greatly alleviate the serious problem of the low proportion of women in Taiwan.

When Yu Xiaotian left, he personally summoned Liu BuTong, Wu Shengtian, Li San and others who had been sent to Shandong in advance. He praised them in person and promoted Liu BuTong to a major officer. Of course, this was just him.

secret identity

, will continue to stay in Shandong from now on and be responsible for various affairs of the Sea Wolf in the entire Shandong area. Even the remaining naval northern task force with more than 20 large and small warships must cooperate with his actions.

It is up to him to control the extent.

Liu BuTong and Wu Shengtian were able to rise to the top in one step. Yu Xiaotian temporarily appointed them as high-ranking officials, prime minister of various affairs in northern Shandong, giving them great power. Wu Shengtian was also promoted to the rank of Army Captain.

, temporarily took charge of the land military forces left by Yu Jiajun in various parts of the north, and even left him a special operations team of about 20 people, specifically responsible for doing some dirty and dirty work for them here.

.

The second lieutenant Li San was awarded the rank of lieutenant and moved to Zhifu Island to take charge of Zhifu Bay and Qishansuo. He also took care of the defense of the Zhifu Bay area, including Changdao, Turtle Island, and Yangma Island at sea.

He was also given the responsibility. The power was quite great, and the responsibilities were naturally quite heavy.

In the next few years, this group of people became very prosperous in Shandong. They completely monopolized the private salt trade in most areas of Shandong and became the number one salt lord in Shandong. At the same time, they also controlled

The sea trade along the entire coastal area of ​​Shandong established a direct trade route to North Korea and Japan, and also collaborated with slaves outside the customs and started trading.

Of course, Yu Xiaotian absolutely did not allow them to sell strategic materials such as grain and metal to the slaves. He only allowed them to sell tea, salt and some light industrial products to the slaves outside the customs, in exchange for raw materials and war horses from the slaves.

, cattle and sheep, furs, tiger bones, deer antlers, ginseng and other non-Customs goods.

You must know that today's Jiannu are very poor outside the customs. Don't look at them for robbing the Ming Dynasty. However, due to the Little Ice Age, the temperature outside the customs is too low. The frost-free period in the whole year is only more than two months. Three consecutive months.

It's less than a month, and the snow begins to melt in May every year, and the first snow begins to fall in September.

The level of farming outside the Pass is not high to begin with. Although the land is fertile, there is not much food to be harvested all year round. Basically, most of the food eaten by the Eight Banners who established slaves has to be resold to them by profiteers within the Pass.

Moreover, the Jiannu people were not very good at making salt, and salt had to be smuggled out of the customs. They also needed tea, especially the Mongolian side. Because the Mongolian tribes turned to the Jiannu people, the Ming Dynasty closed the mutual trade with the Mongolian tribes.

Mongolian tribes also need a large amount of tea.

So even though the slave builders were very rampant, the gold and silver treasures they snatched from the Ming Dynasty would soon flow back to the hands of profiteers in Shanxi, the Ming Dynasty. The slave builders in the bitter cold land outside the customs basically lacked everything.

This is also the motivation for them to think about going south every day, breaking into the pass and living a comfortable life.

Except for grain, Yu Xiaotian allowed all these supplies to be sold to the slaves. Instead of letting Shanxi profiteers make all the money, it would be better for them to take the opportunity to make some and bring back more horses and supplies so that one day he could march north.

Make preparations in advance to eliminate these evils.

Now through the Battle of Denglai, Yu Xiaotian has thoroughly tested the combat capabilities of his army. Although Jiannu is rampant, he will still be beaten to pieces against his army. On the surface, Jiannu

It's very powerful, but as long as you beat them hard, they will still die, get scared, and surrender.

But for the time being, Yu Xiaotian believed that it was not yet time to kill the slaves, so he left them to stir up trouble for the Ming Dynasty, and always exerted heavy pressure on the Ming Dynasty in the north. This allowed the relatively capable emperor Chongzhen of the province to take a breather and work hard to govern.

Let’s make a complete turnaround and revive the Ming Dynasty’s national destiny.

Although he killed the Denglai rebels this time, it did not have a great impact on the overall historical trend. He just took advantage of the trend and completely blocked the matter of Kong Youde's surrender and founding slaves, and did not let Kong Youde use the more advanced cannon-casting technology first.

After bringing it to Jiannu, and not letting Kong Youde surrender to Jiannu, Jiannu quickly had a fleet that could be used along the Liaodong coast.

To a certain extent, this delayed Jiannu's ability to kill the entire Dongjiang Army. However, as Yu Xiaotian saw, the Dongjiang Army no longer posed a threat to Jiannu. As soon as Mao Wenlong died, the Dongjiang Army fell apart internally.

They fought against each other and fought so hard that many generals in the Dongjiang Army later surrendered in large numbers and became slaves and became the vanguard of the slaves to invade the southern pass.

Sooner or later, the Dongjiang Army will still have internal strife, but they can survive for a while longer. Therefore, in the future, the situation in the north will not cause large-scale changes and deviate from the original historical development trajectory because of his move north to suppress the rebellion.

Yu Xiaotian led his troops back to Fujian. There was nothing major on the way. He just blackmailed the local officials a little bit along the way. But this time he was returning to Fujian. The court did not specifically ask the local officials to take care of them, so it was not easy for him to blackmail the prince.

Many things are just better than nothing.

But this time when he returned to Fujian, the wind direction was more favorable, so it took him nearly half the time. In less than a month, he led his troops back to Weitou Bay.

However, before he returned to Weitou Bay, he went to Tamsui City for an inspection. Tamsui City has now become a heavy industrial base for Yu Xiaotian, with a large number of various factories, workshops, steel-making soil and

The chimneys of blast furnaces stand like forests, and various industrial chimneys also spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

These chimneys are pointing into the air, spewing a large amount of billowing smoke, which has affected the air quality here. However, this is also the only way to develop industrialization. With their current technology, what kind of pollution-free industry is it?

Something that is simply impossible.

And he needs these industries to provide him with various advanced weapons so that he can gain stronger strength faster. After he seizes the Central Plains, these industries will definitely have to move to the inland areas. By that time, Taiwan will

There is no need to create a mess on this side of the island.
