Chapter 184 Straight to the mouth of the Pearl River

In this battle of Daya Bay, Yu Xiaotian took out a lot of useful information from the pirates and confirmed the charges of many large gentry thieves.

So after controlling the Pearl River Es mouth, he confiscated a large number of long dragon boats and various small boats in the Pearl River Es mouth. Yu Xiaotian ordered the sailors to draw a group of sailors to operate these boats, each of which was similar to a long dragon boat, each loaded into a class of infantry or sailors.

On some of the strong ships, Yu Xiaotian made people dismantle some light deck guns, such as small-caliber Franco machine guns or three-pound guns, and install them on the bow of the boat, or simply put some tiger squat guns for infantry in the bow.

A total of two battalions were divided into eight detachments. One detachment happened to be an infantry company or a marine company. In addition, hundreds of sailors temporarily drawn from the fleet went upstream along the mouth of the Pearl River and entered the Lion Ocean. There was also a fleet of 20 warships accompanied by 20 warships, which were at any time in the main channel of the Pearl River. These teams provide material support and supplies, and also serve as a deterrent force to provide them with deterrence.

Yu Xiaotian's action did not ask for instructions from the Guangzhou government, nor did he greet the local officers and soldiers stationed here, which was equivalent to directly breaking into the hinterland of Guangzhou Prefecture without authorization. Such an action undoubtedly immediately attracted the local government of Guangzhou government *, so the governor of Guangzhou immediately sent people to go to sea by boat to find Yu Xiao God, Yu Xiaotian immediately stopped such an action and withdrew his soldiers from the lion ocean, only allowing them to move outside Ling Dongyang.

Yu Xiaotian was of course very dissatisfied with his attitude towards the Guangzhou magistrate. He immediately flatly refused his request and informed the comer to go back to the Guangzhou magistrate, saying that he did so by the order of the current emperor and the governor of Guangdong and Guangdong to suppress the pirates.

Nowadays, many pirates have turned into small stocks and have hidden into the cobweb-like waterways outside Guangzhou. Since they are suppressing bandits, they naturally have to eliminate evil things. In addition, in the Battle of Daya Bay, he detected dozens of large local households secretly thieves, and many pirates are hidden in their homes and must be taken down.

Therefore, his actions do not need to be influenced by the Guangzhou magistrate. He invited the comer to go back and tell the Guangzhou magistrate that this matter is his scope of his rights, so that Guangzhou should not interfere. Unless someone in Guangzhou wants to protect these thieves, then in this case, he will enlighten the court to do it. Impeachment.

Guangzhou magistrates and Guangzhou officials listened to Yu Xiaotian's reply, and their noses were crooked. They were the parents and officials in Guangzhou. When did a Qiu Ba take care of the affairs on the ground in Guangzhou? Even if Yu Xiaotian found out that there were thieves or pirates sneaked into the area of Guangzhou to hide, they had to take care of it.

So the Guangzhou magistrate immediately sent someone to find Yu Xiaotian and asked Yu Xiaotian to hand over the names of the burglars he knew, the pirate hiding places and the pirate' personnel to the Guangzhou government. The Guangzhou government will send troops and servants to investigate and arrest them.

After listening to it, Yu Xiaotian sneered at their request and refused to say that it was a secret. Once it was handed over to Guangzhou, it would cause a leak. At that time, the pirates would move in advance, and some thieves might also escape or hide the stolen goods, so he would not bother the Guangzhou government. He would deal with it himself.

After hearing Yu Xiaotian's reply, the Guangzhou government was furious and immediately wrote a bullet to impeach Yu Xiaotian's unauthorized interference in local affairs and mutilating the local gentry people.

In addition, they also went to complain to Xiong Wencan and sue Yu Xiaotian for being arrogant and domineering. They did not pay attention to their local government at all and interfere in their local affairs without authorization.

But Yu Xiaotian doesn't care about these things. Now he is holding a gun in his hand. Do you care if they are willing or not? After the eight teams were sent out, they immediately dispersed into the cobweb-like waterway. There was a local * to lead them the way, and they didn't worry about getting lost in this water network.

In just a few days, Yu Xiaotian's men even defeated more than 20 Zhuangbao of large families. These large gentry in Guangzhou are also quite powerful. Because there are many pirates and river bandits in the Pearl River Es mouth, and the places are not peaceful, so each county will make the gentry come forward, and each township will form their own group training. , Lianxiang protects himself, so the local villages and Zhuangbao usually have some townships to guard against bandits.

Now, Yu Xiaotian's men rushed into their territory as a guest army, ordering some famous local big gentry to open the door to arrest people in the name of suppressing bandits and arresting thieves.

How dare these people open the door and be bound when they are afraid? So they quickly sent people to Guangzhou to complain about injustice, while closing their hometown and closing the village gates to try to prevent the soldiers of the Yu family army from attacking their village.

These gentry families are really rich and tight. Unexpectedly, many Zhuangbao have purchased cannons and other firearms. As soon as the soldiers of the family army appeared outside their village fortress, they immediately fired cannons and guns, and constantly fired arrows to try to stop the search of the family army.

This time immediately annoyed the generals of the family army. They were ordered to catch the thieves according to the map, and also wanted to sweep the hidden pirates in this area. These villagers dared to shoot arrows and cannons at them, which was simply looking for death.

So under the order of the leading company commander, even if the soldiers began to fight back or attack, and the guns were fired together, in front of the sharp spears of the family army, where were the villagers of their opponents? One or two of them came down, and the villagers on the wall were knocked over, so scared that the rest of the people did not dare to Re-ehead.

As a result, under the fierce attack of the family's military generals, a village fort and a village castle were broken by the Yu family's army. The tiger and wolf seemed to be Yu's military generals invaded the village fort and immediately arrested people and took out some gentry, who had never dared to provoke easily, like dead dogs. Next, After copying, all the valuable things in these guys' homes were loaded into the ship, transported back to the big ship in the main waterway, and then transshipped out of the Pearl River es mouth.

And Yu Xiaotian was not idle outside the mouth of the Pearl River. He sighed in Ling Dongyang. Wen Tianxiang once came here. At that time, Yu Xiaotian could understand the feeling of breaking mountains and rivers in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was also for more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians of the Southern Song Dynasty. After the defeat of Yashan, he threw himself into the sea with the little emperor. Sad and sad.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is also swaying in wind and rain, but unlike the original historical trajectory, the Ming Dynasty will not die in the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, but will die in the hands of his filial piety. He is not a Mongolian barbarian. The reason why he wants to overthrow the Ming Dynasty is to bring the Chinese nation to a new height and stand on the top of the world from then on. So he is here without any guilt.

After sighing, Yu Xiaotian immediately ordered his men to move to Hong Kong Island, directly used Victoria Bay as his military port berth, and sent troops to occupy most of Hong Kong, including Hong Kong Island and Lantau Island. , it's all in his hands.

As long as he controls here, no matter when he wants to rebel in the future, Guangzhou will become his flesh. Whenever he wants to take it, he can take it.

After Victoria Bay in later generations, this era is only known as Tsim Sha Tsui or Middle Gate. There is only one small fishing village in the bay. Some time ago, it was just a group of pirates as a temporary hiding place. The prosperity of later generations is a little shadow. None.

However, I have to say that the British are still very discerning. This is indeed a quite good natural port. The water surface in the bay is wide, and the water quality is very good, with a depth of more than 10 meters. Not to mention that there is no problem with the mooring of ships now, there is no problem with the mooring of 100,000-ton ships in later generations.

So the British have made this the largest port in Asia in later generations, which is indeed a discerning practice. Unfortunately, with him, the British will never have a chance to come here again. It is time to change his surname here in the future. Although he has not really lifted the pole and fight against the flag, he wants to It is not impossible to occupy the inner circle.

So after controlling this area, he sent someone to inform the Guangzhou government, and at the same time sent someone to say hello to Xiong Wencan, saying that he had gone south this time and had reached the mouth of the Pearl River, but he needed to temporarily find a berth here as his temporary anchorage and logistics port to support He then continued his strategy to the south.

The Guangzhou government is now gritting its teeth at the hatred of Xiaotian and will not let him occupy this place, so it is not sure that Yu Xiaotian will withdraw from this area and not disturb the people in the local area.

So Yu Xiaotian did not turn against them and directly proposed that since this is the case, he can move directly into the Pearl River Es mouth and stop at the dock in Guangzhou City to rest, hoping that Guangzhou will provide him with corresponding supplies. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to control his soldiers and cause trouble at that time. Blame him.

As soon as the Guangzhou government heard about it, those officials were so scared that they almost peed. Although they were furious, how could they dare to let Yu Xiaotian lead tens of thousands of soldiers and stop directly in the Pearl River outside Guangzhou? More than 10,000 arrogant soldiers and tough generals eat horses, and I'm afraid they consume a lot every day.

If it is all borne by the Guangzhou government, I'm afraid that in a few days, the Guangzhou government will be ruined. In addition, so many warships and soldiers will rush into the mouth of the Pearl River. Will he still be able to live in Guangzhou government at that time? Therefore, as soon as Yu Xiaotian's request was put forward, Guangzhou government immediately softened.

The governor of Guangzhou immediately changed his words and allowed Yu Xiaotian to temporarily stop in the area of Tsim Sha Tsui and temporarily station troops in that area as his supply base for some time to come.
