Chapter 210 Revenge and Punishment
In addition to these more than 200 ships, there are nearly 10,000 sailors and soldiers on the sailor's ship, and the battle is over, not to mention the 7,000 army officers and soldiers sent to the island for clearance.
It can be said that in order to deal with the sea wolf this time, Zhu Yifeng has taken out all the elites that Fujian can take and put them into Nanri Island, but this time they are all gone.
Although he still doesn't know the situation of the 7,000 officers and soldiers on Nanri Island, according to the people who came to report, on the land across the coast from Nanri Island, on the day after the defeat of the navy, there was a rumble of cannons on the island, which sounded for a long time. It is estimated that the sea wolf fought with the trapped officers and soldiers on the island, but because of the sea The face has been blocked by the sea wolf fleet, and it is impossible to know the situation of the officers and soldiers on the island.
Zhu Yifeng's heart was like being thrown directly into the deep pool from the clouds. It's really ups and downs, and it's so miserable! For a moment, Zhu Yifeng only felt stuffy and wanted to vomit blood.
When the news reached his ears, Zhu Yifeng knew that his career had been completely finished. He was not popular with the Wei Party. Now he has tried his best to concentrate almost all the competent sailors in Fujian, plus a large number of mainland masters, to fight against Nanri Island, but he didn't expect such a Result.
There are no sailors. It is estimated that the situation of the land division left on the island is not much better. In a short period of time, it is absolutely impossible for him to gather a huge sailor to fight against the sea wolf on Nanri Island. As long as he can't come up with such a sailor who can defeat the sea wolf fleet, then the 7,000 land division trapped on Nanri Island, There is no possibility of being rescued.
He is very clear that once the supplies are cut off, even if the sea wolves don't fight them, they won't hold on to the island for long. With their current supplies, they can meet their needs for a few days at most. After a few days, they will cut off food.
Not to mention letting them defend Nanri Island after the food is cut off. It is estimated that it is difficult for them not to starve to death. The sea wolf does not need to fight with them. When they are hungry to walk, it is estimated that they only need to carry a few baskets of brown rice to make all the officers and soldiers surrender.
Fujian's military power is basically completely finished in this war. I'm afraid that it can't recover without several years of operation, let alone destroy the sea wolves. Therefore, after this battle, at least Fujian officials have completely lost control of the sea, and the whole coast is basically They are all trapped in the dilemma available to waterless masters.
And the sea wolves have controlled all the coastal waters of Fujian through this battle, and no one can challenge their authority.
Zhu Yifeng's mouth was very bitter, and his mind was messy. He couldn't think of any way to deal with the current situation at all. Several times he tried to stand up, but he felt that his legs were weak, but he could not stand up. Finally, he put his hands on the table and reluctantly propped up, but in front of him Hei fell down with his back to the sky, and suddenly became unconscious.
After learning the news of the defeat of Nanri Island, Zhu Yifeng was hit so hard that he fainted on the spot and could not be a director. At this time, the whole Fujian government fell into a state of no leader, and could only be temporarily represented by Fujian's political envoys temporarily.
But the situation was so rotten that Yu Zhigao's sailors were completely destroyed. Even if there was a fairy, there was no way to save thousands of officers and soldiers on the island. In addition to ordering the coastal prefectures of Fujian to strengthen their vigilance along the coast, they could not come up with many officials. The army has come to deal with the sea wolf.
As for the thousands of trapped officers and soldiers on the island, they can only turn a blind eye and let them live and die.
However, a few days later, they still received the news that the sea wolf had sent people to land. The 7,000 officers trapped on Nanri Island had been destroyed by the whole army under the attack of the sea wolf. Chen Wencan, the Fujian general who led the army, had been defeated and committed suicide.
Although Fujian officials were greatly shocked by this news, they still seemed much calmer than the news of the complete destruction of Yu Zagao's water division a few days ago, because these days, they have been mentally prepared and know the fate of these thousands of officers and soldiers. Now this news only confirms them. It's just the expectation.
But the next thing made them a little overwhelmed. In the following days, the sea wolf launched a series of large-scale military operations and retaliatory operations against the officials in the coastal area of Fujian. On the third day after the end of the battle on Nanri Island, a small sea wolf fleet sailed to Haitan Island, and About 500 people and horses were unloaded on the shore of Haitan Island.
After the 500-man landed, he took Donghai Village as the base and immediately launched a clean-up operation on Haitan Island. In a few days, they cleaned up all the piers set up by the officers and soldiers on Haitan Island, and arrested all the officials stationed on the island, completely controlled Haitan Island in the hands of the sea wolf and became The jurisdiction of the sea wolf.
Compared with Nanri Island, Haitan Island is much larger than Nanri Island, with an area of 200 square kilometers, which is the largest island in Fujian.
The island has sufficient fresh water and a large arable area, but because of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it adopted the national policy of banning the sea and moved most of the island's residents to land, turning Haitan Island into a desert island.
Although the Ming Dynasty's sea ban policy has been tight and loose since the Ming Dynasty, the matter of preventing Japan and preparing for Japan has not fallen. Although some fishermen have spontaneously returned to Haitan Island to settle down, the number of residents on the island is not large, only a dozen sparse villages.
During the Wanli period, there were still more than 1,000 officers and soldiers stationed on the island to defend the Japanese on the island, but by the end of the apocalypse, there were only two hundred officers and soldiers left on the island, stationed among some piers, and only a small number of officials were managed on the island. For a long time, this was a place where pirates gathered, but nominally The actual rule of the government is not like Nanri Island, which has been dominated by shark gangs and sea wolves over the years.
In fact, Yu Xiaotian had considered occupying Haitan Island before, but later, he did not consider that he did not want to quarrel with the government too rigidly and did not want to attract the officials and army to suppress it, so he had never taken Haitan Island.
However, this time Zhu Yifeng's action completely annoyed Yu Xiaotian. After the first battle on Nanri Island, Fujian officers and sailors were almost completely destroyed, leaving Zhang Jiace with dozens of boats on his hand, but Zhang Jiace certainly did not dare to oppose him, not mention that the two sides still have a relationship now!
In addition, after the complete annihilation of the officers and soldiers on Nanri Island, the military strength of the whole Fujian has been greatly weakened. Although the number of Fujian officers and soldiers on paper is as high as 70,000, in fact, the available soldiers will never exceed 30,000. After this battle, the officers and soldiers lost nearly 20,000 people. , and they are basically the elites of Fujian.
Even Fujian is now working hard to recover. At least within two years, Fujian has no strength to come back to trouble him. In addition, with the efficiency of the current government, I really don't know when it will take to restore its strength.
So within a few years, Yu Xiaotian will no longer have to worry about Fujian coming to face him head-on. Unless the court orders several provincial capitals this time, it is no longer a matter for him to consider with the strength of Fujian alone.
However, as far as Yu Xiaotian knows, the Ming court has never carried out several provincial capitals to suppress pirates in the south. Even when dealing with the Dutch and fighting Penghu, Guangdong did not participate.
Therefore, he decided to occupy Haitan Island in one fell swoop, give up the previous Nanri Island, and use Haitan Island as a springboard from Taiwan to Fujian. After all, Haitan Island is large enough and has enough resources. The most important thing is that Haitan Island is a pretty good grazing place.
During the Tang and Song Dynasties, Haitan Island was once used as a ranch for raising horses by the imperial court. It can be seen that Haitan Island is still used to raise horses.
Since he has the intention to participate in the competition in the Central Plains in the future, he must solve the problem of war horses before tomorrow, and the climate of Taiwan Island is not suitable for raising horses. For the time being, he is in the north and has no foundation. The area of Nanri Island is too small to meet the needs of a large number of private horses, so Haitan Island has become temporary. The best choice.
This time, taking advantage of the new defeat of the officers and troops, Yu Xiaotian did not hesitate to send troops to capture Haitan Island after the end of the Battle of Nanri Island and completely included Haitan Island into his jurisdiction.
However, the occupation of Haitan Island is not the end of Yu Xiaotian's official revenge against Fujian, but just a hand-in-hand action, and a bigger action has been brewing behind Yu Xiaotian.
On the eighth day after the end of Nanri Island, a fleet appeared outside Kinmen Island. There were as many as 70 fleets, and they were basically two-masted ships, some of which were sloop Western sailboats, which were sea wolf's flying fast boats. What's more surprising was that there were two in the fleet. The large splint boat sailed into Weitou Bay from the north of Kinmen Island and headed for Kinmen Island.
When the sea wolf's fleet appeared on the other side of the ocean, the beacons along the land coast began to ignite one after another. There was an uproar along the coast. Fishermen fled back to the shore one after another. The village fortress warned one after another and closed the gate one after another. The residents of the village boarded the wall of the village one after another. Looking up the sea, many people felt very scared when they saw the fleet with wolf-headed flags appearing on the sea.
At this time, the news that the officers and sailors led by Yu Zhigao were defeated in the Battle of Nanri Island and the destruction of the whole army had spread to Quanzhou, and Quanzhou itself was Yu Zhigao's residence, so the news spread widely. Soon it was widely known that even the most ordinary people learned the news.
In the past few days, people around Quanzhou have been secretly talking about whether the sea wolf will come to Quanzhou to revenge this time. Now when they see this huge fleet on the sea, everyone knows that they are afraid that they will be in chaos.
