Daming pirates

After Xiong Wencan read this letter, he almost burst into tears. He repeatedly told his servants that he was nostalgic for Xiaotian and that he had not misjudged the person before. Dingdian Novel

Although Xiong Wencan was dismissed from office because of Yu Xiaotian this time, Yu Xiaotian came to help him at this time, which immediately made Xiong Wencan feel warm in his heart. He even went out in person to see him and led a team to escort him.

The head servant who returned to his hometown showed great respect for Xiong Wencan, which comforted Xiong Wencan.

Especially the two hundred servants sent by Yu Xiaotian, all of them were strong and tough, and they looked like elite soldiers at first glance. Xiong Wencan was relieved that at least he would not encounter any trouble on the way back home this time.

He has been an official for so many years and has really accumulated a lot of wealth. Now that he is dismissed from office and sent back to his hometown, he will inevitably cause some people to make things difficult for him along the way, and may even attract the attention of some thieves. Although he also supports dozens of servants, but

But I'm afraid we can't guarantee his safety.

On the way from Guangdong to my hometown in Sichuan, there are high mountains and dense forests. We have to constantly change boats and cars along the way. God knows what we will encounter.

Many officials were ambushed by gangsters on their way back to their hometown after serving or being dismissed from office. They were killed on the way without even being able to return home. There are many such things, and nowadays

The Ming Dynasty was full of chaos and chaos, and the journey was extremely unsafe.

With these two hundred capable servants, he can rest easy on the road, and Yu Xiaotian made it clear that he does not need to support these servants, and Yu Xiaotian will be responsible for their expenses. This is equivalent to giving Xiong Wencan another gift.

It was a great gift. At this time, Xiong Wencan was still grateful to Xiaotian.

The reason why Yu Xiaotian gave Xiong Wencan these two hundred servants was not only to express his feelings, but also to show to the world that he was not the kind of person who knew his kindness without repaying it. Xiong Wencan treated him well, and now because of him

After being implicated and dismissed from office and returned home, he could not forget this friendship. Moreover, since he was not a powerful person, he did not avoid Xiong Wencan like a snake or scorpion just because he was demoted.

In addition, he also had a purpose in doing this. By escorting Xiong Wencan back to his hometown, he sent two hundred elite men to Sichuan first, so that they could openly exist in Sichuan as Xiong Wencan's servants. This could be regarded as preparing for the future attack on Sichuan and laying a solid foundation for the future.

A foreshadowing.

Now that Xiong Wencan has been demoted, the current situation will change greatly in the future. Since Xiong Wencan cannot serve as the governor of the five provinces, it will be difficult for Wang Jiazhen to recruit Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others. In the future, Shi

The development of the bureau will completely deviate from its original trajectory.

Now Yu Xiaotian can no longer see clearly how far the refugee army will develop in the future, but one thing is certain. With the current capabilities of the Ming Dynasty, it is absolutely impossible to completely wipe out these refugee armies. Even if

After killing Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, more murderers will appear in the future. The current strategy adopted by the Ming Dynasty will be insurmountable for the refugee army.

Chongzhen's current intention is obviously to wipe out the refugee army first, and then consider how to deal with Yu Xiaotian. Poor Chongzhen is afraid that this idea will completely fail. He has no idea where he went wrong, so

It is impossible for the refugee army to be completely wiped out.

Even if Chongzhen had almost wiped out the refugee army, there was still a group of slaves in the north still staring at the Daming Pass, and it was impossible for Chongzhen to free his hands to deal with Yu Xiaotian.

Now, what Yu Xiaotian is waiting for is an opportunity to destroy the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop. Although he also knows very well that the change of any dynasty will inevitably lead to a large-scale bloody storm and the overthrow of the entire society, but he still wants to

, when he launched a rebellion, he could reduce the suffering of the Chinese people and reduce the destruction of social resources, and this opportunity, he believed, was not far away from him.

Yu Xiaotian's illness lasted for more than half a year. The imperial court sent people to inquire about his condition several times and sent people to visit Yu Xiaotian. However, it turned out that Yu Xiaotian was seriously ill and even was sent to

The officials who visited Yu Xiaotian all replied to the court that Yu Xiaotian's heavy military involvement did not seem to be a lie.

After hearing this, Chongzhen still did not dare to rest assured, so he sent three imperial doctors to go south to Fujian to visit Yu Xiaotian and find out on his behalf whether Yu Xiaotian was really sick.

However, the three imperial doctors had not yet entered Fujian. As soon as they reached Chuzhou, their car was attacked by bandits on the way. One of the three imperial doctors was killed on the spot, and the remaining two imperial doctors also disappeared inexplicably. Afterwards, the local government found out

, the thieves who attacked this team of imperial medical chariots were the work of Lao Huihui's subordinates who were active in the Huoying Mountain area (Dabie Mountain area).

As a result, the matter of sending the imperial doctor to investigate Yu Xiaotian's condition could only end there. Chongzhen had no choice but to believe the news sent back from Fujian, that is, Yu Xiaotian was ill, and the illness was not serious.

Regarding this news, Chongzhen and the ministers breathed a long sigh of relief. Yu Xiaotian was seriously ill. This was great news for the court. As long as Yu Xiaotian was seriously ill and could not afford it, he would not pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty.

, and even Yu Chongzhen secretly cursed that it would be better for Yu Xiaotian to simply get sick this time and die completely! That would be like God cutting off a huge worry for him.

Since Yu Xiaotian was ill, Chongzhen naturally could no longer send him to the north to quell the chaos. Therefore, throughout the ten years of Chongzhen, Fujian seemed quite peaceful. Yu Xiaotian did not go to the government to trouble him, and the government did not take the initiative to provoke Yu.

Xiaotian.

However, Fujian officials still cut off the supply of food and salary to Xiaotian's troops during the ten years of Chongzhen, trying to contain Xiaotian's men first in terms of food and money.

In the first few months, Yu Xiaotian was unable to see things because of his "serious illness", so the incident never broke out. However, after the end of the year, Yu Xiaotian's men finally broke out. Zhangquan, Xinghuafu, Jianning, Yanping, Ting

In the prefecture and other places, troops under Yu Xiaotian launched an attack almost at the same time. Under the leadership of generals, they rushed into the city, surrounded the local prefecture's yamen and yamen in various places, captured the local officials, beat them in public and demanded food and wages.

Yu Xiaotian's generals from various places claimed that if the government continued to refuse to pay them wages and food, they would kill the officials and rebel, and sent troops to Fuzhou City. The Fujian official was forced to allocate part of the food and wages to Yu's army.

He calmed down the generals of the Yu Jiajun a little and did not let the Yu Jiajun make the situation worse.

Through this incident, Fujian officials also realized that it was basically impossible to control Yu Jiajun under Yu Xiaotian's command with a cut off of food and salary. This would only force Yu Xiaotian's men, and even more

Make trouble early.

During this period, the Fujian government also tried many times to divide the family's military generals, and adopted some methods of promoting officers and nobles to induce some of Yu Xiaotian's generals to break away from Xiaotian and be used by the imperial court. However, such actions had no effect.

It has little or no effect at all.

Some of the generals of the Yu family army who were being lobbied refused flatly in person, while others made excuses and made fun of them, but they resolutely refused to listen to the government's call.

Nowadays, in the Fujian area, due to the tense relationship between Yu Xiaotian's troops and the government, there will be some troubles in various places from time to time. Of course, there are also some bandits who take the opportunity to cause chaos. The government cannot mobilize the soldiers and generals under Yu Xiaotian's jurisdiction at all, and can only deal with them.

Xiaotian is humble.

Yu Xiaotian is different from other warlords. Yu Xiaotian has his own financial supply and does not rely on the food and salary allocated by the government at all. Therefore, he is completely free from the system, so that the Ming government and the court have no way to deal with him. This is why

The government and the imperial court have always been wary of Xiaotian and dare not touch him easily.

Although Yu Xiaotian was "seriously ill", the work of Sea Wolf has not stopped. All aspects of affairs are handled by dedicated personnel and are gradually moving forward according to the plan.

New infantry battalions and artillery battalions were established in various places, and training was carried out in full swing in various places. Various weapons began to be distributed and equipped to the newly formed troops.

The navy has some complaints about the army's continuous expansion. Now their navy controls almost all of China's coast, and each fleet is responsible for a considerable sea area. However, Yu Xiaotian has not added many ships to the navy.

There was no large-scale military expansion for them. Each fleet only expanded by one naval battalion. To put it bluntly, it was the Marine Corps in later generations.

When necessary, in addition to garrisoning some coastal fortresses, these naval battalions can also conduct some landing operations independently without the participation of the army.

However, at the end of the 10th year of Chongzhen's reign, Yu Xiaotian summoned the commanders of the major fleets "while dragging his sick body" and talked with them secretly for a long time. Only then did these navy generals return to their jurisdictions with satisfaction.

Among them, the plan for military expansion will no longer be mentioned again.

As for what Yu Xiaotian talked about with the navy generals, few others knew about it. After these navy generals returned, they kept silent about it, so after a while, no one cared about it.

This happened.

In short, in terms of the army, between the tenth year of Chongzhen and the first half of the eleventh year, sixteen more battalions were expanded, including two artillery battalions, eleven infantry battalions, two transport battalions, and one cavalry battalion. The strength of the army increased by two.

Tens of thousands of people made the army commander Zhang Dazui and Meng Fei grin with joy. When they saw their colleagues in the navy again, their chins were raised high.

The performance of this army group made the navy officers sneer at them. They teased their army colleagues from time to time, and there was no shortage of friction between them. The army said that they were the backbone of the Yu family's army, but the navy mocked them and said that without them, the navy

If so, the Army is a loser! From south to north, if the Army wants to maneuver along the coast and leaves the Navy to transport them, they will rely on two legs!

If there is no navy to supply the army, then the army's bandits may not even be able to eat shit in the future. As a result, such disputes often lead to fights between the two parties in the end, and each one is beaten with bruises and swollen faces.
