Chapter 165 homage to the new boss
But Zou Weiyan forgot one thing, that is, over the years, Fujian has basically used Yu Xiaotian's soldiers. Whenever there is chaos in Fujian, Xiong Wencan's first thought of being transferred to Xiaotian's soldiers and horses to suppress it, and other officers and soldiers have been basically put aside and idle over the years. It doesn't work at all.
Therefore, since June, due to a wind disaster and great losses, there has been a shortage of soldiers and wages in all parts of Fujian. Therefore, this time, like Xiong Wencan, Zou Weili did not find a way to solve the problem of military pay for Yu Xiaotian, so that it has been delayed until now. The generals under Yu Xiaotian's command did not get this Military sage for nearly half a year.
In addition, after Zou Weili arrived in Fujian, there were people who gave Yu Xiaotian's eye medicine everywhere. Many people went to Zou Weiluo to sue Yu Xiaotian's black situation. They said that in Fujian over the years, he was domineering, occupying fields, abducting people, bullying men and women, trading private salt, occupying Weitou Bay, and regarded Weitou Bay as him. Private things in the bag, wantonly collecting shipping money from overseas merchants, extorting merchants...
So many people complained and said that Yu Xiaotian was an unforgivable person. Although Zou Weiyan did not dare to believe it, the three of them became a tiger and there were more people suing. Naturally, Zou Weili couldn't help but believe it, so he had a greater disgust for Xiaotian.
Zou Weili even wrote a bullet stamp for this purpose. When he impeached Xiong Wencan in Fujian, he was too arrogant to Xiaotian, which made Yu Xiaotian too domineering in Fujian and sent people to Beijing.
However, because of this, Zou Weili has been paying attention to Yu Xiaotian's situation. He has been paying attention to the situation of Yu Xiaotian's leading troops to suppress the rebellion in Shandong. Whether it is gossip or the news on the official mansion newspaper, he is very concerned.
The news from Shandong praised Yu Xiaotian as a mess. This time, Yu Xiaotian led his troops to the north to suppress the rebellion. In the battle of Denglai's rebellion, Fujian soldiers became the absolute main force. In the battle against the rebels on Denglai's side, they can be said to have won many battles, and they have never heard of any defeats.
In this way, Zou Weiyan found that Yu Xiaotian was indeed a military talent, so she looked into the various battles related to the chaos on Fujian side when Xiong Wencan was in Fujian in recent years. As a result, she found that it was not Yu Xiaotian's domineering or Xiong Wencan's bias.
But over the years, whenever there is chaos or a large group of mountain thieves in Fujian, Yu Xiaotian is basically responsible for working. Almost all these troubles are finally settled by Yu Xiaotian or his soldiers.
In addition, over the past few years, the coast of Fujian has been quite calm. Since Yu Xiaotian was touched, the number of sea pirates attacking the shore has been reduced by at least 80%. Moreover, even if there are occasional sea pirates attacking the shore, the sailors under Yu Xiaotian can basically be said to be police, which greatly deterred those pirates.
Nowadays, pirates regard Fujian almost as a dead place and dare not easily set foot on the Fujian coast to make trouble. This can also be said to be maintained by Xiaotian, which led to an unprecedented Pingjing along the coast of Fujian.
Even the red-haired people who have been quite arrogant in the first few years have become quite peaceful in recent years. They have never been to the coast of Fujian, making the whole coastal area of Fujian very peaceful in recent years.
However, Zou Weiyan is quite unaccustomed to some other practices of Yu Xiaotian. The most important thing is that he controls Weitou Bay and replaces Weitou Bay as Moon Harbor and becomes his private port. However, all Fujian sea merchants who want to go to sea must go to sea in Weitou Bay, and the coast of Fujian The sea merchant ship owner has to pay 1,000 to 2,000 taels of silver to Yu Xiaotian every year before he can be allowed to go to sea, otherwise the ship will be confiscated by Yu Xiaotian.
Yu Xiaotian is this entry alone, and it is full of pots, which makes many people who used to make money by sea trade jealous and want to get a piece of the pie. However, Yu Xiaotian regards this sea as a private industry, which is invable and water is impenetrable. No one wants to enrich it. It is possible.
And the reason why Yu Xiaotian is angry is that he is too domineering and takes advantage of them. Now that Fujian gentry and officials are not secretly related to the sea trade in order to make a fortune? Many people buy big boats by themselves and hire people to sail for them to do business.
Even if some people are timid or don't have enough funds, they will lend some spare money to some maritime merchants and share some benefits from them.
Yu Xiaotian collects the toll for the sea, which touches their interests. Therefore, many people don't want to pay this money, but Yu Xiaotian doesn't care about anyone's face. If you want to go to sea, you can take the money. Otherwise, you can be whoever you are. As long as the ship goes to sea and you don't get the flag given by the sea wolf, as long as you are sea wolves at sea wolves. When the anti-smuggling ship found it, it immediately confiscated the ship and goods.
For this reason, many people were ruined by Yu Xiaotian and hated Yu Xiaotian to the bone. Now Zou Weiyan has been appointed as governor in Fujian, and Zou Weiyan is not a local official in Fujian and does not know about the situation in Fujian, so they take the opportunity to give Yu Xiaotian eye drops.
Zou Weiyan was also very dissatisfied with Xiaotian's practice. Such a large amount of benefits were eaten by Yu Xiaotian, and the imperial court officials could not take advantage of it at all. Although he was a clean official and did not intend to make a profit from it, he was still a little jealous when he saw Yu Xiaotian's a lot of money.
Another point is that Yu Xiaotian has now publicly controlled Taiwan Yuan Island and regarded the whole Taiwan Yuan Island as his private property. Zou Weili actually doesn't know how big Taiwan Yuan Island is. He only heard that Taiwan Yuan Island is very large, and even some people say that Taiwan Yuan Island is half as big as Fujian.
Yu Xiaotian occupied Taiwan Member Island, but did not classify Taiwan Member Island in the territory of Daming, but regarded Taiwan Member Island as his private property. How about this? To put it bluntly, does this guy have any plans to use Taiwan Yuan Island as his nest and become the king on his own in the future?
As soon as he thought of this, Zou Weili was very outrageous. In his heart, it was the king's land under the whole world, and whether it was the king's minister on the shore of the earth. Since Yu Xiaotian has now been caressed and has become a general of the Ming Dynasty, then even if he is an official of the imperial court, since he is an official of the imperial court, then he can't have this idea.
Taiyuan Island is so big that he occupies it himself. What's wrong with his own private property? At least he wanted to hand over Taiwan Yuandao to the imperial court and include it into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Daming has not expanded any land for many years. Over the years, Jiannu has also occupied Liaodong, and the Mongolian provinces have also begun to be restless, making the Mongolian area become enclave, and the Mongolian provinces have now become vassals of Jiannu.
The territory of the Ming Dynasty is shrinking day by day. If he can force Yu Xiaotian to transfer Taiwan's Island to the territory of the Ming Dynasty and invest in the Ming Dynasty, this is undoubtedly a matter of adding luster. The Holy Man is actually a little happy. If he can open up the territory and increase the Ming Dynasty at this time. If you add a jurisdiction, I guess the Holy One will be very happy.
So Zou Weiyan secretly made up his mind and thought about how to force Xiaotian to hand over Taiwan Yuandao to Daming and put it into Daming's territory.
Zou Weiyan thought about it over and again, but still thought that it would be better to do this matter directly. After all, Yu Xiaotian is still the general officer of Daming. If he knows his interests, if he is not self-reliant, then he should understand that it is not appropriate for him to do so, and he may agree to his request.
However, he waited left and right, but Yu Xiaotian had never come to Fuzhou to see him, which made Zou Weili very angry, but he couldn't find out where Yu Xiaotian was now.
A general soldier of the Ming Dynasty can't find anyone now, which is also a joke, so Zou Weiyan sent someone to find Yu Xiaotian's men and asked them to inform Yu Xiaotian and ask Yu Xiaotian to go to Fuzhou to see him as soon as possible.
While Zou Weili was waiting for the fire, someone ran to the governor's government on this day to report that Yu Xiaotian had led a fleet of more than 20 warships, arrived at the mouth of the Minjiang River, and moored on Langqi Island at the mouth of the Minjiang River. Yu Xiaotian was riding three warships, sailing up against the Minjiang River and coming to Fuzhou.
Zou Weiyan breathed a sigh of relief and said that this guy finally came back. Originally, he wanted to give Yu Xiaotian a power, but when he thought about it carefully, he didn't think it was very appropriate. After all, Yu Xiaotian's return to Fujian this time was a victory. This time, he played well in Denglai and made great achievements. If he was too lazy. In his words, he will be caught and impeached in the future.
So he thought about it over and decided to let people go to the dock to welcome Yu Xiaotian and arrange a relatively grand welcome ceremony. After all, Yu Xiaotian represented Fujian's troops to Shandong this time. He played so beautifully, which also added luster to the faces of Fujian people.
When Yu Xiaotian arrived at the south gate wharf in Fuzhou, the gongs and drums were suddenly loud and firecrackers rang. Wang Yongji, the governor of Fuzhou, came to the wharf in person to welcome Yu Xiaotian on behalf of the governor Zou Weiyan.
On the dock, Wang Yongji led the officials to toast and congratulated Yu Xiaotian, which was a tribute to his achievements in the rebellion in the north.
Yu Xiaotian also smiled and saluted them. He tossed around on the dock for a long time. Then, under the escort of the guard, he went to the governor's gate to meet Zou Weili.
Zou Weiren, as the first official in Fujian, is much higher than Xiaotian, so it is understandable not to go to the dock to greet Yu Xiaotian in person, but Yu Xiaotian is still quite dissatisfied, because if it were Xiong Wencan, he would definitely condescend to the dock to greet him in person at this time, but Zou Weili, Obviously, he won't buy it. It seems that there will be an open and secret fight between Zou Weili and him in the next period of time.
Sure enough, after Yu Xiaotian entered the governor's s government, he saw Zou Weilian. Zou Weilian didn't even get up. After sitting on the big case, he received a gift from Yu Xiaotian. He just said some unsalty congratulations indifferently, and then asked Yu Xiaotian to give him a bench, but he didn't even give him a big chair. One piece of filial piety.
Yu Xiaotian began to be annoyed in his heart. He thought that you, Zou Weiyan, at least I had just returned the victory. You boy didn't give me so much face. It seems that you are trying to give me a power!
