Daming pirates

When Yu Xiaotian heard this, he was furious. He immediately rushed to Raoping County with a sentry, broke into the county seat directly, and rushed to the county government office. Just as the gatekeeper was about to stop him, he was immediately ordered to be released by Yu Xiaotian.

He was thrown to the ground and tied up, and he led people into the county government office, broke into the yard behind the magistrate, and arrested the victim directly. (Ding Dian Novel)

The magistrate was furious and came out to scold Yu Xiaotian. Yu Xiaotian asked for Xiong Wencan's handwriting, saying that he was acting under orders and had the power to act expeditiously. The magistrate refused to give up and continued to scold him.

In anger, Yu Xiaotian slapped him, and the fifty-year-old guy immediately flew out like a cloud. Half of his teeth were knocked out. Yu Xiaotian immediately ordered someone to tie this guy up.

He sent someone to hand him over directly to Xiong Wencan in the name of a traitor, and also sent all the relevant evidence of the crime this time to tell the magistrate that he was harboring the thief.

This incident caused quite a stir in Guangdong. When did Qiu Ba dare to treat a civil servant like this, even if he was just a small county magistrate? Yu Xiaotian would beat him whenever he asked and tie him up whenever he asked.

No more royal laws?

So many people immediately wrote a letter to impeach Yu Xiaotian, and some people directly complained to Xiong Wencan, but the court still did not give them an explanation for this matter, because although Yu Xiaotian did this arrogantly, the one who was arrested at the time

Guy, the evidence of the crime is indeed solid, and there is no injustice at all.

Afterwards, Yu Xiaotian handed over the victim and several pirates to Xiong Wencan for interrogation. After the interrogation, Xiong Wencan did not find that Yu Xiaotian had wronged this guy, so he imprisoned the county magistrate and asked the court to report him.

The magistrate was dismissed from office and handed over to the Procuratorate. Later, the magistrate actually lost his head.

This incident invisibly fueled Yu Xiaotian's arrogance, which made Yu Xiaotian even more arrogant during the subsequent campaign against thieves along the coast of Guangdong and Guangxi. By suppressing thieves, he greatly amassed a large amount of wealth and also returned

We acquired a lot of land in coastal counties.

Soon in April, both Yan Siqi and Mr. Chu Cai announced that they had accepted the recruitment and were considered to be destroyed by Yu Xiaotian. Yan Siqi was appointed by Xiong Wencan as President Qian and served under Yu Xiaotian, while Mr. Chu Cai was older because of his status.

Moreover, he voluntarily proposed that he no longer dared to do this business, and his subordinates were taken over by Xiaotian, and he was allowed to put his past grievances aside and return to his hometown to retire, and returned to his hometown in Fujian to become a rich man.

The pirates in the Guangdong area realized that this time Yu Xiaotian was serious about taking away all their territory and forcing them to death, so these people stopped working. They had been operating in the Guangdong and Guangdong areas for such a long time.

At that time, they had already regarded the sea here as their own backyard. How could they allow Xiaotian, an outsider, to drive them all away?

So during May, Liu Xiang, Zheng Yiguan, Qiu Ming and other large groups of pirates met at the Pearl River Estuary and agreed to unite to deal with Yu Xiaotian's invasion of Guangdong this time.

Each of these people has at least thousands of men and horses, some have dozens of ships, and some have hundreds of ships. Together, they are really not a small force. In a short time, they have gathered together

There were more than 30,000 pirates and more than 700 warships assembled.

Of course, their warships must be put in quotation marks, because their warships are incomparable with the Yu Jiajun's naval warships. On the surface, their warships definitely have a lot of numbers, but in fact these seven

Among the more than 100 warships, only about 200 can be considered large ships, and their weapons and equipment are also uneven. Only a small number of ships are equipped with relatively good Western-style cannons, and the rest of the ships are mostly equipped with some native cannons.

These people finally elected Liu Xiang, the most powerful, as their alliance leader and bloodthirsty as their alliance. They wanted to have a big fight with Yu Xiaotian. Either Yu Xiaotian was driven back to Fujian by them, or they fell into disgrace.

After Yu Xiaotian went south, he camped step by step. He was not in a hurry to attack forward. Instead, he fought along the way and wiped out all the places where pirates could gain a foothold along the coast. During this period, he also discovered that there were officers, navy and generals involved.

In the Jieshiwei Jiesheng Post area in Huizhou, Yu Xiaotian wanted to arrest several generals, and had a head-on conflict with the local Guangdong garrison.

The general who was detected by Yu Xiaotian was Commander Qian, who was stationed at a navy water station in the Jiesheng area. He had hundreds of subordinates at hand. He usually publicly revealed his identity as a navy general, but in fact he had always been there.

He acts as a pirate secretly, specializing in robbing ships at sea, and he is ruthless.

In order to keep his identity from being known to others, he often did very cruel things. He often killed all the boatmen on the merchant ships he robbed. Afterwards, he would drag the ships to an inconspicuous place and secretly sell them.

One of the guards was also involved with him and secretly acted as his nest master. These guys were actually wearing the skin of the Ming Dynasty official army, but they were engaged in pirate business.

This time Yu Xiaotian led his troops to the south. He had already found out everything they were doing in advance and the evidence was conclusive. So as soon as the fleet arrived at Jiesheng Station, he ordered the troops to surround Jiesheng Station and block the water village.

, sent someone to notify the Jieshi Guard commander and asked him to send someone over to order the capture of these chief culprits.

The guard commander was shocked when he heard the news. It was not that he knew nothing about what those guys under his command were doing, but because he usually took advantage of these people, this time Yu Xiaotian came to the coast of Guangdong as a guest to beg for thieves.

He himself felt unhappy. This was undoubtedly tantamount to stepping on his territory and bringing disgrace to the Guangdong garrison.

So he told Yu Xiaotian not to care about it on the grounds that it was his business. Yu Xiaotian didn't care whether he liked it or not. After he ordered to surround the victory station, he immediately ordered people to shout to open the door, otherwise he would fire.

Siege the city.

Jieshengsuo City is a garrison city with relatively complete defense facilities. It used to be mainly used to prevent Japanese invaders. When the guards stationed here heard the news, they were so scared that they cried. How dare they open the city gate to let Yu Xiaotian go?

People came in and arrested him.

Therefore, he ordered his men to close the city of Jieshengsuo and resolutely not open the city gates. He also shouted on the city that Yu Xiaotian had framed him and ordered Yu Xiaotian's troops to evacuate immediately.

Yu Xiaotian gave him a day to think about it. After one day, the garrison still refused to open the city and surrender, so Yu Xiaotian immediately ordered an attack on the city.

More than a dozen warships lined up on the sea outside Jieshengsuo City, firing cannons. It took less than an hour to knock down the city wall. The infantry who landed ashore immediately attacked the city and killed hundreds of people in the city.

The officers and soldiers were all disarmed, detained separately, and began to torture him severely.

When the garrison Yu Xiaotian ordered the attack on the city, he had already been shot and killed on the top of the city. Naturally, he did not have to suffer this crime again. However, Mr. Qian of the water village was caught. After being tortured, he poured beans out of a bamboo tube.

Yes, tell him everything he has done in colluding with the guards over the years.

According to the confessions of other officers and soldiers, the case was completely confirmed. Yu Xiaotian immediately sent people to deliver the group to Xiong Wencan and took over the Jiesheng Station.

This incident instantly caused an uproar in Guangdong. Yu Xiaotian's attack on the county magistrate had not subsided yet. At this time, he bombarded the Guangdong Guard City, killed the guards, and arrested Mr. Qian. So in Guangdong,

The generals stopped working, and they all complained that Yu Xiaotian was acting too unscrupulously. Even their generals in Guangdong dared to kill and arrest at every whim. Is this okay?

So this group of people went to Xiong Wencan to complain one after another, and wrote a letter to impeach Yu Xiaotian. However, Yu Xiaotian handled the matter very seriously, and collected all kinds of evidence very well. Personal and material evidence plus oral confessions were all answered.

They had everything in place, and even based on their confessions, two merchant ships that had not yet been sold were seized.

So of course Xiong Wencan couldn't defend these guys, so he could only deal with it impartially, beheading Mr. Qian in public, and report the whole thing to the court. Chongzhen saw that this was a good thing, Yu Xiaotian was really arrogant, even Wei Suocheng said

He dared to fight even if he wanted to. He was such a big defender and he just bombed him to death.

But after reading the memorial submitted by Xiong Wencan, he had nothing to say. Now he didn't expect that even the generals were secretly engaged in the pirate business. No wonder these generals repeatedly failed to destroy the pirates. It turned out that they themselves were pirates. Soldiers

They are thieves, and thieves are soldiers. How can these pirates be able to wipe out all of them?

Although Yu Xiaotian did indeed go too far, it stands to reason that he should report this matter to Xiong Wencan first and let Xiong Wencan deal with it, instead of going into battle himself with a sword and directly destroying the city of Jiesheng and the defense.

Become a scumbag and go arrest these criminals yourself.

But Yu Xiaotian still did it. He didn't care about the face of his colleagues or what others thought. He just did whatever he wanted. But on the other hand, he had to admit that his thunderous methods...

It really had a good effect.

If Yu Xiaotian reported this kind of thing to Xiong Wencan according to the formal channels, once the news was leaked, the culprits would immediately run away and nothing would be settled in the end.

So Chongzhen had no choice but to acquiesce to the matter and suppressed the matter. However, he secretly reminded Xiong Wencan that it was better to restrain Yu Xiaotian and not let Yu Xiaotian do anything during the period of suppressing bandits in Guangdong and Guangxi.

Make things so big that it will be difficult to clean up later.

Xiong Wencan also felt that what Yu Xiaotian did these two times was a bit too much. He privately sent someone to remind Yu Xiaotian that if he encounters similar situations in the future, he does not need to act like this. He might as well save some face for others and settle the matter.

It's better to leave it to him.

But Yu Xiaotian plausibly said that the reason why he did this was for Xiong Wencan's sake. If the news was leaked, these people would definitely not be able to catch him, and it would cause trouble to the people in the future. If Xiong Wencan couldn't stand his approach, he would

He immediately turned around and went back to Fujian. Who cares about the suppression of bandits?

When Xiong Wencan heard Yu Xiaotian's reply, he felt that he had a big head, and thought that Yu Xiaotian was really not an easy guy to meet, and he really didn't do things properly.
