Chapter 112 New Prefecture
However, after Yu Xiaotian was ordered to set out, he set out from Fushan to Pingdu Prefecture. After more than half a month, Yu Xiaotian first "detavended" Gujiazhuang's rebellion in Jiaozhou City and tried to collude with the rebels to seize Jiaozhou City, and then defeated the rebels several times in less than ten days (and scattered in Pingdu). Small rebels outside the state fought, and now they actually defeat Pingdu Prefecture in one fell swoop.
This is really awesome, it's simply too awesome! This is also the city under the actual control of the first rebel army since the rebellion of the rebels. Such news undoubtedly gave Zhu Dadian a stimulant, so he hurriedly wrote a memorial, sent it to the capital, and played a victory to the court. On the one hand, he hurriedly sent people to take over Pingdu Prefecture, and hurriedly Allocate all kinds of money, food, gunpowder and other materials to Yu Jiajun.
Zhu Dadian was really happy. Yu Xiaotian led his troops to come and really solved a big problem for him. This guy really lived up to his reputation in Fujian. The Fujian soldiers and horses under his command are also really a strong army. They can fight so well. The rebels seem to be no match for them at all.
But how did he know that Yu Xiaotian did not make much effort in these battles in Pingdu to deal with the rebels in Pingdu Prefecture. After these days of fighting, the losses of the soldiers under his command could be said to be negligible, and the war damage ratio was almost 1 to 1 to 2, and the rebels lost 100 people before he lost One or two, the biggest loss was that part of the ammunition was consumed, and even the cannon was not used, so they recovered Pingdu City.
Yu Xiaotian deliberately exaggerated his loss in the war report, claiming that the loss was also very big, but he didn't want Zhu Dadian and the court to know too much about his combat effectiveness. At present, he just wanted to extend his tentacles to Shandong by pacing Denglai's rebellion.
He didn't want to make trouble. In the end, the emperor was happy and transferred him to Liaodong. Now he will fight against slaves. With his ability, it is not a big problem to fight against slaves now. However, the Guanning Army and the Dongjiang Army in Liaodong fought separately. His small general will definitely be subject to other things. Officials will lose their autonomy at any time, not to mention that they will have to deal with those cowardly Guanning army at any time, and they will have to be prepared to be stabbed in the back by them at any time.
In addition, Yu Xiaotian did not want to destroy Jiannu at all. In his eyes, the Jiannu army is not a powerful opponent at all now. On the contrary, it is a big helper for his future competition in the Central Plains. If he destroys Jiannu now, won't Daming regain his vitality?
Once one day he officially rises up and announces that he is going to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty can gather national forces to deal with him!
So he didn't want to. Now he completely become Daming's barrel and was used as a gun by Chongzhen. He wanted to see the situation of Daming with his own eyes and gradually completely erosion. It was not until he could not be cleaned up until he immediately crossed the knife to turn the tide and reorganize the rivers and mountains for the Han people.
Therefore, although he killed the rebels around Pingdu Prefecture, he deliberately exaggerated his losses in the war report, saying that after the war, he must rest for a certain period of time before he can continue to advance towards Laizhou, otherwise he is very likely to fail.
Presumably Zhu Dadian relies so much on him now. When he said this, Zhu Dadian certainly did not dare to let him go alone and go to Laizhou to relieve the siege before independence. He can do this rebellious work by himself, but he can't let those Shandong soldiers, Zhejiang soldiers and Sichuan soldiers too idle, at least Let them slip on their legs and suffer some boring losses, otherwise, it will be too cheap for those war scum.
Zhu Dadian really doesn't know the real situation, and he also believes that the rebels are very strong. Although Yu Xiaotian led the Fujian soldiers and horses to win a great victory, he must have lost a lot. After all, Pingdu Prefecture is a strong city, and it is not easy to defeat it. Even if he knows that Yu Xiaotian uses tricks. But he couldn't guess that Yu Xiaotian would achieve such a great victory at such a small price.
So Zhu Dadian quickly sent people to Pingdu Prefecture to appease Yu Xiaotian and agreed to Yu Xiaotian's request to let the Yu family army rest in Pingdu Prefecture for ten days and half months. In addition, he also said that he would do his best to provide Yu Xiaotian with grain to ensure that Fujian officers and soldiers could receive sufficient supplies.
Of course, the people he sent to Pingdu also shouldered another responsibility. First, they took over Pingdu City, so as not to take Pingdu City in the hands of Fujian officers and soldiers for too long and cause too much harm to Pingdu City. In addition, by the way, he also needs to proofread the results claimed by Yu Xiaotian this time and kill more than thousands of rebels, which is piled up with a lot of people. After ordering as soon as possible, we must deal with it as soon as possible. The weather is getting warmer and warmer. These heads are piled together, and it is estimated that they will soon rot. At that time, we will do some proofreading, and I'm afraid there is no reason.
A few days later, a group of people appeared outside Pingdu City. The person sent by Zhu Dadian was Zhao Shantang, the new Zhizhou of Pingdu Prefecture. Zhao Shantang turned out to be Anqiu Zhixian County, Qingzhou, Shandong Province. This time, he was temporarily promoted to Pingdu Zhizhou and came to the post.
On this way, Zhao Zhizhou, the newcomer, can be said to have always been fending fifteen buckets of water in his heart. As an official, of course, he knows very well what the officers and soldiers are. Pingdu Prefecture was first conquered by the rebels and must have been greatly harmed. Now Fujian officers and soldiers have taken down Pingdu City, and it is indispensable. Let's talk nonsense in the city.
This time, he was reluctant to serve in Pingdu, but the court had the order, and he did not dare not come, but in his heart, he had been sure that Pingdu City was definitely in a mess at present. Now that he is here to serve, he has simply received a piece of hot taro.
He himself did not know how to deal with the chaos in front of him after arriving at Pingdu. Although this time he took office in Pingdu, Zhu Dadian specially assigned 500 Shandong soldiers to accompany him to station Pingdu.
He himself knows what the Shandong soldiers brought. Although as the local main army, these Shandong soldiers will not go too far, Pingdu City is now controlled by Fujian soldiers. If he brings troops here, will Fujian soldiers honestly give up Pingdu City?
Zhao Zhizhou's mood is not to mention how bad it is along the way, and he has never been with Fujian's officers and soldiers, and he doesn't know whether Yu Xiaotian is good or not. At present, it is time when the soldiers are in chaos. The rebels are in Laizhou and besieging Laizhou City. The distance can be said to be close to Pingdu. He can only rely on it. Only by Yu Xiaotian and his Fujian soldiers and horses can they defend Pingdu City.
If this General Yu is not easy to serve, then he can only admit his bad luck and pinch his nose. After all, this Pingdu City is recovered by others and has nothing to do with him. If he really doesn't want his subordinates to withdraw from the city, then Zhao Shantang really doesn't have any The only way is to let it be. I just hope that these Fujian soldiers will not kill all the people in Pingdu City at this time.
But just as he arrived at the west gate of Pingdu City uneasily, he looked up and saw a big black dot hanging on the gate building. As an official for more than 20 years, how could he not guess what those were? These black spots must be human heads, and his heart suddenly sank and secretly shouted broken. This blessing After all, the generals were still killed in Pingdu City.
So he felt even more uneasy and carefully walked towards the west gate with 500 Shandong soldiers who came to guard Pingdu City.
After a while, a cavalry stopped their way, ordered them to disembrace the sedan chair, accept the inspection, and asked them to report their identity and take out an ultimatum to prove their identity.
These Fujian cavalry were well-equipped and looked fierce, and exuded an awe-inspiring murderous atmosphere, which scared these Shandong soldiers to stop obediently and eagerly watched Zhao Zhizhou come forward to deal with it.
Zhao Shantang had no choice but to look at these proud soldiers and tough generals in Fujian and knew that he could not be hard with these ruffians. Under this chaotic situation, the civil servants were obviously not as strong as before. Although he felt a little insulted, he had no choice but to get off the sedan chair and let his slaves take the imperial edict to tell these blessings. Build officers and soldiers, their identity.
After hearing that this group was escorting the new Pingdu Zhizhou to take office, the attitude of these Fujian officers and soldiers immediately improved a lot. The leader immediately saluted Zhao Shantang and said to Zhao Shantang, "Our general has already camped in the north of the city and has been waiting for Lord Zhao to come! Now the city has been suppressed and settled by our general, waiting for Lord Zhao to enter the city to take over the affairs of the city.
Our general is currently in military affairs and is dealing with military affairs in the battalion. If Lord Zhao is free, he might as well go to our battalion to meet our general!"
Zhao Shantang saw that these Fujian soldiers were not too rude to him, so he was somewhat relieved. In addition, he was a little surprised that Yu's soldiers actually set up a battalion outside the city and did not let his soldiers station in the city, which made him a little surprised.
I heard that General Soldier Yu himself did not live in the city at present, but lived in a large camp outside the city and was still supervising military affairs, which surprised him even more.
Generally speaking, most of the generals of Daming are greedy for pleasure. If they can lie down and never sit, never stand. If they can take a sedan chair, they will never ride a horse. If they can ride a horse, they will never walk. If they can live in the city, they will never live in the barracks. If they can be comfortable, they will never treat themselves.
According to theory, the accommodation conditions in the city must be much better than those in the military camp. At present, there are many large houses in the government offices in the city that are empty. Finding a random place and getting a few maidservant to serve them must be much more comfortable than living in a tent in the military camp.
But I didn't expect that this general would give up good conditions and live in the camp outside the city, which is really against common sense.
