Chapter 91 proclamation of troops

The reason why Fujian can be so peaceful is that according to the governor of Fujian Xiong Wencan, Yu Xiaotian can be said to be indispensable. Now Denglai is in chaos, and the court has a headache about where to transfer troops from, so someone immediately proposed that Fujian Yu Xiaotian can lead his army to the north to fight against the rebels in Shandong.

As soon as this proposal was put forward, many people in the court agreed to second it, and many people immediately expressed their support.

Because their reasons are also very sufficient, although the Guanning army is warable, there is also a large army of Jiannu outside Guan, and the battle of Dalinghe City, the Guanning army has just been newly defeated. Zu Dashou fraudulently surrendered Jiannu, and then fled to Jinzhou to lead the army and Jiannu as the enemy. This incident has also aroused a great response in the court, and many people have treated Zu Da Shou's behavior is quite dissatisfied, and he thinks that Zu Da Shou's behavior is really contemptable.

If Guanning's army is now transferred into the customs and enter Denglai to suppress the rebels, in case Jiannu takes the opportunity to go south again, and the troops outside the customs are empty. Once they can't stop Jiannu and make them enter the customs again, the land of Beijing will be trampled by Jiannu's iron hooves**.

This statement is quite marketable, which is also the most worried thing for everyone, so when someone proposed that it is not easy to transfer the foreign army into the customs, it was immediately recognized by many people.

However, relying on Shandong soldiers to enter and suppress the rebels independently, everyone also feels that this matter is unreliable. Shandong soldiers are unbearable. Now it has become the consensus of the government and the opposition. Therefore, if the Guanning army is not transferred to enter the customs, then we must find such a group of people in other places to Denglai to suppress it.

In the end, the court seemed to quickly reach a consensus that no one is more suitable than Yu Xiaotian, the general soldier of Fujian. Although this person used to be a pirate, he has been "loyalty" to the court over the past few years. He has repeatedly wiped out Fujian's rebels, governs the army well, is extremely strict, and controls a solid one in his hands. Quite strong soldiers and horses.

At that time, Qi Jiguang trained a strong soldier in Fujian, and was later transferred to the north to garrison. Those Qi's army repeatedly made great achievements. They once shocked one side outside the customs, so that the Mongols and Jiannu did not dare to move. Now Fujian has another strong soldier, and now it is in the face of national disaster. Shandong because of the Denglai rebels There will be a huge earthquake, and Denglai is very close to Beijing. If the rebels are not extinguished as soon as possible, the consequences will be unimaginable. I'm afraid that it will not only be the erosion of Shandong Province, but also Beijing, Tianjin and other places will not be disturbed by the rebels.

After listening to the suggestions of these officials, Chongzhen was somewhat hesitant about it. It's not that he doesn't trust the Fujian general Yu Xiaotian, but that Fujian is a little too far away from Shandong. Generally speaking, if Fujian officers and soldiers are ordered to go north and arrive in Shandong, and the soldiers arrive at Denglai, I'm afraid they will at least have to leave. In a few months, anything can happen in these months.

Moreover, a large number of soldiers and horses in Fujian went north and had to pass through quite a lot of places along the way. Although according to Xiong Wencan, Xiaotian's army was very strict and had the ability to control the army, Chongzhen himself did not have much hope for the current morality of the officers and soldiers.

What's more, Yu Xiaotian was a thief in his early years. Among his elites, most of them were recruited by thieves. In case Yu Xiaotian is not as capable as Xiong Wencan said and unable to control his soldiers and horses, these tough soldiers along the way will pass through Zhejiang, Nanzhili and Shandong.

After a long journey, it is often difficult to raise food and salaries. Unrateful things happen from time to time, and soldiers and food have to be raised in various places along the way. This is very stressful for the governments in various places. If you are not careful, it will cause chaos.

Isn't this rebel who was ordered to go on an expedition and couldn't buy grain along the way, which eventually led to their rebellion? Once, the soldiers and horses in Shanxi also had a mutiny on the way due to the last time they built slaves to enter the customs and were ordered by the King Qin, but they were later suppressed relatively quickly, which did not lead to chaos.

If the Fujian army also encounters the same arrears or military supplies on the way to the north, will there be such chaos? This is what Chongzhen is most worried about at present.

When Chongzhen raised such a question and expressed his concern, someone immediately answered that there was no need to worry about it at all.

Yu Xiaotian was born as a pirate. He controlled a large number of naval warships and warships and mobilized Fujian officers to go north to suppress them. Fujian officers and soldiers did not need to go north by land at all. They only need to transport them to Shandong by ship, and they can directly land in Jiaodong. There is no need to worry at all. These Fujian officers and soldiers are harassing along the way. Fang, or there was some kind of trouble because of the lack of salary and poor food.

And using the boat division to transport troops north can save a lot of time, as well as human, material and financial resources, and will not cause much pressure on the places along the way. You only need to make the prefectures along the sea for the fleet to dock, and supply food to the fleet in time, and there will be no problem.

After listening to this, Chongzhen couldn't help but brighten his eyes. The Ming Dynasty has been pursuing the policy of sealing the sea for a long time. In addition to being quite prosperous during the reign of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, the mariners in the future, because of the sealing of the sea again, the coastal sailors in various places have been increasingly shrinking. By these years, they have long been unbearable to use, so that Chongzhen did not think about it at all. Unexpectedly, the boat division can be used to transport soldiers and horses from the south to the north.

Hearing the minister's proposal of this solution, Chongzhen suddenly felt that this matter could not be done well, but he was still not at ease. He proposed that the boat division would take the waterway to transport troops north and walk thousands of miles along the way. In case of strong wind and waves, it would not cause huge losses? In case Fujian's military boat division was on its way to the north If you encounter such an accident, isn't it possible that this transfer will eventually end in failure?

In this regard, another minister listed Emperor Chongzhen to solve his puzzles, saying that Yu Xiaotian was a huge bandit at sea in his early years. He was the best water battle. He was a big ship under his command and had a strong wind resistance. He could sail to Japan and even far away places such as the Southern Ocean. The South Sea was full of wind and waves, but he had not heard of how much trouble he had caused them.

The boat division under his command are also some capable people who are good at controlling boats. In recent years, Fujian sailors have fought with the enemy at sea many times, but they have never failed, let alone heard that Fujian sailors have suffered too much losses at sea due to hurricanes and rains.

When Fujian Zhoushi goes north, there are many places to shelter from the wind along the way. As long as Yu Xiaotian is more careful, if he encounters a strong wind and waves along the way, he will definitely find that he will lead the boat division fleet to land in the bay to avoid the wind, and there should not be too much trouble.

If he is such a huge bandit who once roared at sea and can't even move troops north, then it can be seen that this person is not much more able to do, so there is no pity.

After listening to this, Chongzhen felt that this matter was reliable. In addition, there were many courtiers who supported this proposal at present. Many people strongly supported Fujian officials and soldiers to go north to suppress it.

If Fujian officers and soldiers can make contributions in the area of Denglai this time, then the court will not have a large number of usable soldiers. Once there is any chaos in the north, the court will have one more backhand in the future, and can mobilize the elite soldiers and horses in the south at any time and go north to solve these problems for the court.

After listening to this, Chongzhen also felt that it was a little risky to mobilize Fujian officers and soldiers to go north this time. Although it was not possible that he could not have a try. In case that Fujian officials and soldiers succeeded in transporting troops north by sea this time, wouldn't he have such an elite that can be called at any time?

If these Fujian officers and soldiers can successfully help the imperial court and Shandong government and eliminate this group of rebels after arriving in Jiaodong, it means that Yu Xiaotian is indeed useful. Will there be no more talent in the Ming Dynasty in the future?

So after several days of discussion, Chongzhen finally made up his mind and ordered to send people to Fujian to announce the decree, transfer 8,000 Fujian elite soldiers and horses to Xiaotian, quickly go to the sea, transport them to Jiaodong with a boat division, choose a place to land, and launch a campaign against the Denglai rebels.

If you pass through the county along the sea road, you must replenish the grain in time and make no mistakes! In addition, some places that can be used to escape the wind along the way are also made to prepare for Fujian Zhoushi to avoid the wind on the way to the north. If anyone is neglected and causes chaos, he will not be spared.

After the imperial edict, the court immediately sent 800 miles to rush to Fujian. In addition, due to Xiong Wencan's good performance in Fujian recently, Chongzhen finally began to officially consider it. It's time to change places for Xiong Wencan! At present, he feels that it should be a good choice to put Xiong Wencan in Guangxi and Guangxi.

After the capital decided on this matter, the imperial edict had not yet been passed on to Fujian, but the sea wolf's flying pigeon biography had first arrived in Fujian and was handed over to Yu Xiaotian as soon as possible.

After learning the news, Yu Xiaotian took a deep breath and said to Lin Yiyang, "It seems that our efforts have not been in vain! This matter finally went on according to our plan! Then we should be ready to start at any time!"

A few days later, the imperial edict finally arrived in Fujian and arrived in Fuzhou first and told Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian. Xiong Wencan was quite nervous about this, because Yu Xiaotian was his foundation in Fujian. This time, the court suddenly remembered that Yu Xiaotian was going to lead troops to the north to Denglai in the chaos.

This matter is a major event, and it can be seen from the imperial edict that the court and the emperor attach great importance to this matter. Even in the edict, it has been pointed out that Xiaotian should take the sea and use the boat division to transport troops to the north.

Even some details of the supplies along the way have been arranged, which shows the importance the court and the emperor paid to this matter, and even set a deadline for Yu Xiaotian to arrive in Shandong, requiring that he must arrive in Denglai within a maximum of two months after receiving the imperial edict. If there is any mistake, it will be determined. It should be severely punished.

Hearing this, Xiong Wencan did not dare to neglect it. He quickly sent someone to send the imperial edict to Yu Xiaotian's hand, and personally took a boat to Weitou Bay to meet Yu Xiaotian. At the same time, he also ordered the Fujian government to immediately prepare all kinds of money, food, materials and bullets needed for Yu Xiaotian to go north this time. The object of medicine armor.
