Chapter 155 Full of pot

"Do you know? The soldiers of the family army are so blessed! They have three meals a day! But three meals a day! Two dry meals, full of brown rice, eat as much as you can eat as you like! There are also hot dishes and hot soup, and by the way, you can also eat eggs and even eat dried plums!

By the way, I forgot that the general of the Yu army can still eat meat every three or five times. In this dish, there are also pieces of meat, but it's meat! What a big piece of meat! Biger than the belly of the finger!

I just had a meal with it. It's delicious! Xiang's old man almost swallowed his tongue. I didn't dare to think about it all my life. If I followed General Yu as a soldier, it would be equivalent to falling into Fuwozi!

No wonder the soldiers of the Yu army are so good at fighting and willing to work hard. If it were Lao Tzu, he would give me such a good food every day, let alone let him fight desperately. Even if there is a fire pit in front of him and let me jump, I won't even blink my eyes!

I've seen you all. What are the soldiers and generals of the Yu family wearing? It is said that they send out two sets of new clothes every year! This time when you come to Shandong, you have also seen what other officers and soldiers are wearing, what we are wearing, and what the soldiers of the Yu family are wearing! But they are all decent and thick cotton-padded clothes! Someone scraped his clothes, and the inside was really full of white cotton! The cloth is also a serious Songjiang cloth!

I have never seen an official eat so well and dress so well as a soldier for himself! I have never worn such good clothes and eaten such a good meal in my life!

What do we want to be soldiers, and what do we want to follow them? Don't you want to have a full meal and wear some clothes? But in the end, you also took a look. The valuable things were taken away by the officials, and the beautiful women let them play first. When is it our turn?

Let them eat this meat first. We can't even drink the soup. It's useless to mix with them! Now we are trapped on this island where birds don't lay eggs. Sooner or later, we will starve to death. Why should we die with them? Brothers, do it! Let's kill them. Let's go to the family army. Isn't it better to eat delicious food and drink spicy food than being chased and beaten like dogs now? ......”

Such rumors quickly spread among the rebels. Kong Youde and his rebels tried to suppress them, but found that things were soon out of their control. The soldiers looked at them in their eyes and were already not good. If it hadn't for the ** power they had accumulated at ordinary times, they would have been more or less deterred these. The soldiers' words, I guess these guys have already rushed up and tore them up.

So now, they also know that they can't do anything, they can't fight, and they can't run away. If they want to stick to it, they are already unstable and may be at any time*. At that time, they will have no place to die.

After understanding this, Kong Youde no longer dared to neglect it. He quickly sent someone to the seaside to fight the white flag to accept the conditions. He was willing to lead his troops to surrender.

The Yujia army navy stopped firing and sent an order to Kong Youde to order the whole army to put down its weapons and go to the shore to gather. All the rebels left their men and, together with Kong Youde, were first taken to the ship, and the rest waited for the next rectification and collection.

Kong Youde had no choice but to put down his weapons and all the people gathered on the open ground on the shore to surrender. He and his men left the team and gathered at the temporary wharf alone. Several small boats of the Yu's military were taken to the ship and escorted alone. Come on, it is equivalent to completely cutting off their contact with their soldiers.

Of course, the soldiers can't make a big wave without the control of the officials. What's more, now they have already lost their fighting spirit and honestly wait on the island for the army to accept them.

After separating the contact between generals and soldiers, the navy sent a group of troops ashore from the ship, took over the defense of Turtle Island, and began to reorganize the rebels on the island.

All the rebels were completely dispersed and mixed into new companies. Of course, it was not an army company, but a company of prisoners, just a temporary formation.

Then these prisoners were picked up by ships in batches and transported away from Turtle Island. They were temporarily transported to Yangma Island or Lingshan Island in the southern sea of Jiaozhou Bay for preliminary quarantine and rectification, and then they were gradually transferred back to the south by ships.

While obtaining so many prisoners, Yu Jiajun also found thousands of craftsmen from the prisoners. These craftsmen were Sun Yuanhua who tried his best to get to Dengzhou from all over the country, and most of them were blacksmiths.

These blacksmiths were ordered to start a furnace in Dengzhou City to cast cannons or build bird guns or armor for Sun Yuanhua. They were all skilled workers. When the rebels fled from Dengzhou, they did not forget to forcibly wrap these craftsmen and take them away. Now they are cheaply given to Yu Xiaotian.

In addition, the rebels took a large number of gold and silver treasures obtained this year out of Dengzhou City. The batch of goods hidden in Long Island in advance has been taken away by Yu Xiaotian. Now this batch is more, more than 200,000 taels of silver alone. In addition, there are gold or gold jewelry, and there are also thousands of taels. As for jewelry such as jade and agate, the number is also huge.

And in order to maintain the supply for the next period of time, the rebels carried a large amount of food, which was enough for them to eat for two months.

Of course, the rebels also carried out a large number of artillery, bird guns, single-eyed guns, three-eyed guns and other weapons from Dengzhou City, as well as a large number of knives, guns and armor, which have also become Yu Xiaotian's trophies.

This batch of food alone can make Yu Xiaotian reduce the food it costs to support these guys. In short, this matter is clean and neat. The rebels brought out everything in Dengzhou City has almost become Yu Xiaotian's trophies except for sinking into the water with the ship.

So many gains can basically make up for all his consumption in northern Shandong, and even have a lot of surpluses. It can be said that he has really made a lot of money.

After Deng Lai's rebellion ended, Yu Xiaotian immediately asked Zhu Dadian to resign and asked him to lead his troops to return to Fujian. Zhu Dadian did not have the right to approve this, so he could only ask the court.

Originally, Chongzhen did indeed move to leave Yu Xiaotian and his elite soldiers in the north, either to go outside the customs to deal with the construction slaves, or to advance into the Central Plains to suppress those civilian troops.

However, at this time, Xiong Wencan sent someone to send a memorial to the capital. Chen asked Emperor Chongzhen to quickly order Yu Xiaotian to return to Fujian. Recently, the sea pirates along the coast of Guangdong have attacked the border, successively plundered many prefectures and counties along the coast of Guangdong, plundered the population, * property, killed local officials, and even fought against the officers and soldiers.

However, the sailors of Liangguang were weak and unable to resist a large number of sea pirates. They specially asked Chongzhen to transfer them back to Fujian to preside over the navy to suppress the sea pirates in the Liangguang area, and Pingjing in Liangguang.

After Chongzhen looked at the chapter, he was secretly surprised. Although the sea pirates were rampant in the past, they did not reach such a point. However, after Xiong Wencan arrived in the two regions, not only did the sea pirates not restrain, but became more and more rampant, which was contrary to common sense.

However, Xiong Wencan blamed Yu Xiaotian for leading his troops to go north, so that the sea pirates in the Guangdong and Guangxi were regarded as an opportunity, so he dared to be so rampant, implicitly pointing out that Yu Xiaotian was the sea god needle on the southern sea. The southern coast could not be held without Yu Xiaotian, otherwise the sea pirates would be lawless.

In addition to Xiong Wencan and Chenbao that the two Cantonese pirates are out of control, even Fujian, where there have been no large-scale sea pirates for many years, has begun to report that in the past two months, there have been signs of sea bandit activities along the coast of Zhangquan, attacking several counties, villages and towns along the coast, causing some losses.

Chongzhen combined with Xiong Wencan's memorials also felt that it might be because Yu Xiaotian was transferred to the north, so that the pirates in the south thought that no one could suppress them, which led to the rampant pirates again.

So Chongzhen had to give up the idea of trying to keep Yu Xiaotian's Fujian soldiers in the north. Although Yu Xiaotian's Fujian soldiers are indeed very capable and the situation in the north is indeed very rotten, he also heard that the Fujian soldiers supported by Yu Xiaotian are very expensive and issued high, far from ordinary officers and soldiers. In addition, for There is also a lot of material demand. Many officials in Shandong said that Yu Xiaotian's demand was boundless, which put a lot of pressure on Shandong.

More than that the south is now the most important place for the financial supply of the Ming Dynasty, and the ground is relatively stable. If even the south is chaotic at this time, then the Ming Dynasty will be completely finished.

So the south really needs such a sea god needle to stabilize the coastal situation. Don't let any more moths happen at sea, otherwise the problem will be very serious.

Even the Fujian soldiers led by Yu Xiaotian are very good at fighting, but after all, he is needed in the south, so Chongzhen thought about it again and again. It happened that Zhu Dadian also put forward the idea that Yu Xiaotian wanted to lead his troops back to Fujian after pacifying the Denglai Rebellion.

Chongzhen is also very clear that these guest troops will be homesick after coming out for a long time, and now the Fujian soldiers have been in Shandong for more than half a year and have been away from home for nearly a year. This time, they have made great efforts in the battle to quell the Denglai rebellion. At present, there is no big movement in building slaves. If they are forced to stay in Shandong, except Apart from increasing the burden on Shandong, it seems that the benefits are not great.

Now the South also needs him, and there is no reason to forcibly leave Yu Xiaotian. Therefore, Chongzhen privately believes that he can let Yu Xiaotian lead his troops back first. If the north needs him, he can be transferred to the north. After all, Yu Xiaotian has a boat in his hand, which can easily travel north and south.

So Chongzhen allowed Zhu Dadian and Xiong Wencan to lead the army back to Fujian.

After getting Chongzhen's approval, Yu Xiaotian led his subordinates to board a large prepared fleet in Zhifu Bay and set sail on the road back to Fujian.
