Chapter 235 Rest

So Wen Liufang hurried back to Quanzhou City with this agreement, and Yu Xiaotian also ordered the army and navy to end the military operations and temporarily withdraw to the area of Nanri Island and Weitou Bay, waiting for the government to fulfill the agreement.

So far, a military conflict between Fujian officials and sea wolves that lasted for nearly three months and lasted for more than three months has come to an end.

This Spring Festival has not been safe for sea wolves. Throughout the Spring Festival, the land and sea armies of sea wolves have been in uninterrupted military operations.

Only during the Spring Festival, the sea wolf soldiers improved their food, ate a lot of meat, and gave them some drinks in batches, allowing the ministries to drink a little during the military operation.

As for Fujian officials and people in coastal areas, they spent the New Year in fear, which diluted the atmosphere of the whole Fujian near the sea. During the festival in previous year, the lively scenes inside and outside the city did not appear during the Spring Festival this year.

For Yu Xiaotian, this high-intensity military operation, which lasted for more than three months, brought super benefits to his sea wolf. Through this battle, the sea wolf basically completely disintegrated Fujian's official maritime military force, so that there may not be another one that can be used against him for a long time in the future. Maritime forces that pose a threat.

In addition, in terms of land, he wiped out nearly 20,000 officers and soldiers through several battles, which is almost one-third of Fujian's official registered officers and soldiers. If you get rid of those officers and soldiers who are short-paid and old, weak, sick and disabled, the huge Fujian Province can now use soldiers. It is estimated that there are only about 20,000 left at most.

In the next few years, Fujian's military strength will not be able to return to the level before the war. This time, the sea wolf has fundamentally disintegrated Fujian's ability to pose a military threat to him.

As for other aspects, it is even more. After more than three months of fighting, in addition to taking back the temporarily abandoned Nanri Island, the sea wolf has actually controlled a large number of large islands along the coast of Fujian, including the largest Haitan Island, which has also been actually under the control of the sea wolf. In addition, the whole area of Weitou Bay has been controlled by the sea. The wolf got it, but nominally, these places still have the government. Every year, they need to pay the government according to the land mu on the household, and pay the rated land allocation, and other governments can't control it.

Even so, in fact, Cai Shanji did not think that the sea wolf would honestly pay all the fields that should be paid. In his opinion, as long as the sea wolf pays more or less every year, even if it is a part of it, it is a meaning! He really doesn't pay, and no one can do anything about him.

In addition, in terms of the trophies obtained, not to mention that at the end of this battle, the sea wolves have obtained countless kinds of armor materials. In addition, the goods snatched from everywhere are piled up. There are nearly 200 captured warships and merchant ships alone, which can be picked up to meet the needs of continued use. One hundred and ten can also be picked out, and the rest can be dismantled to obtain usable wood for continued shipbuilding.

The most important thing is that the sea wolf has captured nearly 20,000 officers and soldiers through these months of combat operations. Most of these officers and soldiers are young and strong. Except for some of them, which will be redeemed by their families, it is estimated that few other officers and soldiers People's families can have the financial resources to redeem them, and of course, Yu Xiaotian will not take the initiative to release them.

Some of them will be used to expand the army, pick out soldiers who meet the requirements of the sea wolf, add them to the sea and land armies of the sea wolf, and improve the strength of the sea wolf, and the rest are good labor, which can meet the needs of the sea wolf for labor for a long time in the future.

In addition to the captured officers and soldiers, the sea wolf departments are also taking advantage of the opportunity or recruiting on land. In short, in the past few months, more than 40,000 people have been obtained from the land coast.

The proportion of this group of nearly 40,000 people is quite good. Among them, the ratio of men to women is basically about 1 to 1, which is very balanced, and there are many teenagers and children, who are the favorite population of sea wolves at present.

Especially for women, although the sea wolf has been recruiting people from the land, it has never been able to solve the problem of serious imbalance in the proportion of male and female population in the sea wolf jurisdiction.

Now, in the jurisdiction of the sea wolf, everything is good, and the people are also very stable, but there are too many bachelors, and even most of the most face-looking sea wolf people are not worthy of their wives, not to mention those civilians who are not sea wolves!

On the surface, the male-female imbalance seems to be a big problem, but in fact, it is easy to bury great hidden dangers. As the saying goes, food and clothing*, when people solve the problem of food and clothing, they will naturally have the problem of desire, which is human nature and instinct.

There are too many bachelors. After eating and finishing their work all day, they have nothing to do. They can only join the party and rely on eating to solve problems by themselves. This is not a good thing. If they really can't solve the problem, it is inevitable to think of some crooked ideas. Yu Xiaotian doesn't want to turn his jurisdiction into a back mountain. I feel that my hair can stand up.

Even if you don't play with the party and don't play backs, there will be problems with social stability. It's hard to guarantee that some bachelors are really cruel. It's not a way to hit other people's daughter-in-law's idea, either to seduce or use strong.

For this reason, Yu Xiaotian asked his men to think of a way, but the director's side came up with an idea to recruit some warblers from the land and let them go to some sites of the sea wolf to do business. To a certain extent, these bachelors could have a way to guide them.

In this regard, Yu Xiaotian specially requested that the warbler should be managed, which can be licensed to allow them to do business, and that their bodies should be checked regularly. If they are found to be sick, they should be forced to stop their business and receive treatment, so as to avoid willow disease everywhere.

But this method only treats the symptoms but not the root causes. When it comes to a certain extent, especially the sea wolf people, after working for a few years, they have money, but they can't get a wife, and the problem will be more serious.

So these people obtained from the land this time are helpful to solve this problem, which is also an unexpected gain in their operation.

At this time, Yu Xiaotian also had to stop this large-scale military operation. He knew very well that after more than three consecutive months of operations, both naval and army generals have now entered a period of fatigue. If they continue to keep In such a tense state, it is hard to guarantee that nothing will happen.

So even if it is a war, you should pay attention to a moderate tension. Now that he has got what he wants, it is time to let his men have a good rest.

Besides, if you suddenly eat so many trophies, you have to digest them for a while. Otherwise, you will be prone to indigestion. It's not good to eat and hold on. It's not good to take too much, and there is a risk of pulling eggs!

So after Fujian officials and Yu Xiaotian reached an agreement, the two sides tacitly stopped their actions. After receiving the order, the army led by Li Dazui and Meng Fei took the initiative to withdraw the siege of Tong'an County and temporarily retreated to Gaopu and Zhongzuo.

After a short break, the second battalion was transported to Haitan Island for temporary residence. After a rest, according to Yu Xiaotian's plan, the army will increase the strength of two more battalions, so that the size of the sea wolf's army will reach about 7,000, expand it into four integrated infantry battalions, and add another logistics battalion. , set up an expanded army artillery, increase the number of battalion artillery, and set up four field artillery companies. If necessary, you can send them to each infantry battalion to cooperate with the operation. In addition, a siege artillery company is specially equipped with several heavy artillery for them. In the future, they can be directly sent to participate in the tough battle. War is much better than temporarily unloading naval guns from naval ships to participate in the war.

At this time, the army was very happy. Li Dazui was ordered to stay in the center and be responsible for the defense of the shore and islands around Weitou Bay. Liu Tong was transferred back to Tamsui City to continue to preside over the training of the new barracks. Meng Fei went to Haitan Island first to take charge of the affairs of Nanri Island.

As for the three fleets, the first fleet was transferred by Yu Xiaotian to fresh water for rest. In the future, the first fleet will take freshwater as their home ports. In addition, two ports will be set up on Haitan Island and Nanri Island as their temporary home ports, and sent detachments to control the sea from Meizhou Bay to the mouth of the Minjiang River. In the future, mainly Responsible for maritime defense and operations in this area.

The Second Fleet was left in Weitou Bay by Yu Xiaotian. In the future, Weitou Bay will become the home port of the Second Fleet, and the maritime defense in the area south of Quanzhou basically fell on them, even including the future blockade of the officers.

As for the Third Fleet, it is still a problem at present, because the nominal mother port of the Third Fleet will be located on Shuangfeng Island on the sea surface of Funing, and will be responsible for the affairs of the north of Funing Prefecture, including the coastal area of Zhejiang.

However, at present, there is no large demand for the sea wolf to go north for the time being. In addition, the pattern of Shuangfeng Island is too small. As the home port of the Third Fleet, it is obviously a little too small to be used as the home port of a large naval base.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian thought about it and temporarily asked the Third Fleet to send two detachments, about 20 ships, to station on Shuangfeng Island to protect the safety of the northern sea. As for the main force of the Third Fleet, it was temporarily staying on Nanri Island. After all, the infrastructure here is much better, although the Nanri Island War Previously, the sea wolf gave up Nanri Island with one shot and demolished a large number of buildings on Nanri Island, but the dock facilities and ports were not damaged, which could meet the temporary training of the Third Fleet. In addition, it also strengthened the sea wolf's control over the entire coast of Fujian.

On the surface, this large-scale conflict between the sea wolf and the Fujian government has ended, but in fact, the combat operation on the sea wolf side has not yet ended.

Because they still have an enemy that has not been solved, that is, the Dutch.

When the time entered February of the seventh year of the apocalypse, Yu Xiaotian returned to the freshwater city where he had left for a long time.
