Chapter 179 Evacuation
With Yu Xiaotian's orders, the sea wolves present rushed out to take orders one by one, but when Yu Xiaotian's order to demolish the fortress was issued, it was still difficult for everyone to accept.
After three months of continuous adjustment, this battle plan has undergone major changes from the plan originally set by Yu Xiaotian.
When he first learned that the government wanted to use troops on Nanri Island, Yu Xiaotian originally wanted to use the method of dealing with Chu Cailao to deal with the officers and soldiers, but in the past three months, after continuous discussion and consideration, the battle plan was completely overturned.
The reason is that they have used such a method once. Although the officers and soldiers are very incompetent in their eyes, they must be sure that they still have many capable people. Someone should be able to think of this problem, so I'm afraid it's not that simple to deal with the officers and soldiers in this old way.
Therefore, after repeated consideration and discussion, Yu Xiaotian finally gritted his teeth and decided to temporarily give up Nanri Island, including Nanri Island Dazhai and various workshops, and no longer make any reservations. Let the officers and soldiers taste some benefits first. Anyway, Nanri Island is in the freshwater City. After improvement, the importance to the sea wolf is far less important than before.
Moreover, the limitations of various conditions of Nanri Island itself are not suitable for their old camp. It used to look like a small area here, but now it seems that the pattern is too small.
There are several islands that are more suitable for Nanri Island in Fujian, and the conditions are better than Nanri Island, so the value of the facilities on Nanri Island is not high, and the biggest value of Nanri Island is probably even the farmland on the island that has been reclaimed. After several years of cultivation, most of these farmland It has become a ripe field, and the output has gradually stabilized. It's really a pity to give up now.
However, fortunately, it has now entered winter, and the autumn grain has been harvested, and most of the fields have not planted new grain for the time being, so the temporary abandonment will not affect the planting at the beginning of next spring. This time chosen by the government is also more beneficial to the sea wolves.
So in the end, Yu Xiaotian decided to temporarily give up Nanri Island as a whole, use Nanri Island as a bait, and throw it to the government first.
When this decision was told to the people of the sea wolf department, the sea wolves felt very reluctant to give up. After all, Nanri Island is the place where they started, and they have been operating here in recent years, which has changed Nanri Island from a desolate scene before to such a thriving scene now. Suddenly When Yu Xiaotian wants to give up here, no one thinks it's too much.
At first, many people were quite resistant to this decision, and many people raised objections, especially the people in the council hall, who were even more reluctant to leave it. Because of the establishment of this village, they have invested too much human, material and financial resources. There are also a large number of warehouses and houses in the village, and there are also a large number of workshops in the workshop area. Fang, now it is demolished or burned like this, making them feel like cutting meat.
However, after Yu Xiaotian made up his mind, it could not be changed. He repeatedly explained the reason and told them that the current abandonment was for greater interests. Although the Nanri Island Dazhai was destroyed, their foundation is still there. After this battle, they will get greater benefits.
Even if you are fishing, you have to at least hang some bait. If you are reluctant to do this, then what can their sea wolves achieve?
After a lot of guidance, the sea wolf finally unified his thoughts and no longer thought about it. Therefore, when Yu Xiaotian ordered today, although many people still showed a reluctant look on their faces, they were immediately ordered by no one to object.
After Yu Xiaotian's order was issued, the whole Nanri Island seemed to be boiling. All the time, the sound of iron struck suddenly stopped. Although it was still very lively, it turned into disassembly equipment.
These workers in the workshop area have been working here for a long time. Although they do not have the previous freedom to go out without authorization, they are imprisoned, but the quality of life here is much better than their previous quality of life on land.
Although it is very tiring to work here, it makes them live a full life. They wear warmly, eat enough, live well, and their income is quite satisfactory.
Sea wolves have never deducted their wages, and their families are fine here. Some families still stay on land. Seawolves send people to send their wages to their families on land every month, at least so that their families can have no worries about food and clothing.
In this world, what else can these cheap craftsmen ask for such a life?
After working here for a period of time, the craftsmen have accumulated quite deep feelings about this place. Now suddenly the sea wolf wants to demolish this place and shut down the workshop, which makes many craftsmen feel both uneasy and reluctant.
Fortunately, the sea wolf's personnel told them that although it is temporarily closed and stopped, their wages will be paid during the shutdown. They should rest. The sea wolf will not ignore them. It won't take long and the workshop will be reopened again. At that time, they can continue to work for the sea wolf.
In this way, the craftsmen felt much better and immediately began to dismantle various tools and simple machinery in the workshop under the leadership of the stewor.
The sea wolf merchant fleet was ready at this time. In order to ensure the transportation capacity, they also transferred a batch of large ships from Yan Siqi and Chu Cailao for use as cargo ships. Yan Siqi and Chu Cailao did not dare to say no, because they had already seen the power of the sea wolf. Although the government was not small movement this time, They don't believe that the sea wolf will be defeated by the officers and soldiers at all. As long as the sea wolf does not fall, they will live in the future.
Now the sea wolf did not force them to help the sea wolf fight against the officers and the army, but only let them pull large ships to help transfer the goods, so how could they not do it? So they all deployed a batch of ships to help the sea wolf transport all kinds of materials.
So within a few days, a large number of ships gathered on the shore of Nanri Island. All kinds of personnel and materials began to be loaded with various boats through trestles or temporary floating trestles, and even small boats, leaving Nanri Island and heading for various settlements.
The thousands of immigrants on Nanri Island know that something is wrong this time, because the sea wolf has not given up Nanri Island when Boss Chu Cai invaded last time, but this time the sea wolves don't even want their big village. I'm afraid they are not going to defend Nanri Island anymore.
And what kind of virtue the officers and soldiers are. These ordinary people are very clear. When the officers and soldiers suppress bandits, they are actually worse than bandits. They can't fight, and they have a high level of killing good deeds. It is estimated that once they go to the island, they will definitely be cruel to the people on the island. They can't catch them. How many sea wolves will definitely kill the people and exchange their heads for rewards.
In addition, they robbed the common people, which is even more non-negotiable. Even if they stay and don't leave, I'm afraid they will be harmed by the officers and soldiers. The sea wolf now gives them a chance to choose and follow them to settle down in Tamsui City. Over the years, they have already understood the temperament of Yu Xiaotian, the head of the sea wolf. As long as they don't fight against the sea wolf, the sea wolf will fight up and down. On the whole, the people still take good care of it.
Although the grain they planted also has to give three Narita gifts to the sea wolves. It seems that such a field endowment is not low, which is much higher than the field gifts collected by the officials, but the government has been increased every year, and there are various miscellaneous items collected in different ways. In addition, all kinds of fire and silver consumption are actually collected by the government. The tax is far higher than the field tax collected by the sea wolf.
And the sea wolf collects Tian Fu, which is said to be 30%, that is, 30%. It is not allowed to have any miscellaneous things, let alone messy officials to blackmail and force them. As for such a kick, it will never happen. As long as 30% of the Tian Fu is paid, there will be no other fees.
So when they came down and farmed for the sea wolf, most of the final harvest remained in their hands. After arriving at Nanri Island, their life was getting better and better. In the past, it was difficult for them to buy a new dress, but now they are basically dressed warm and full.
So when the sea wolf decided to give up Nanri Island this time, most of the people expressed their willingness to follow the sea wolf, follow the arrangement of the sea wolf, and let them go wherever they go.
So many people also cleaned up and began to board the ship under the militia organization with reluctance. Only a few people were really reluctant to part of their fields and insisted on refusing to leave. These people's sea wolves did not force them, but asked them to temporarily avoid the mountains and wait for the limelight to pass before returning to him. In our village.
In this way, Nanri Island has formed a large-scale retreat tide. Every day from dawn to dark, a large number of materials and personnel are constantly loaded on ships and transported away from Nanri Island. Such a scene must not be hidden from the government's eyes, and soon the news was spread to the land.
Zhu Yifeng also soon learned the news of the large number of sea wolves' withdrawal from Nanri Island. He couldn't help but feel relieved. What he was most afraid of was that the sea wolf did not know whether it was good or bad and defended Nanri Island, and where the sea wolf's strength was placed, with a large number of warships, good combat effectiveness, and a lot of artillery.
If the sea wolf defends the Nanri Island and does not retreat, then the officers and army must attack Nanri Island. Now with the assistance of the Red Hair, although he is still sure that he can defeat the sea wolf, he is afraid that the loss is too great. In the end, although he can defeat Nanri Island, if the loss is too big, it is still not easy to end.
