Chapter 93 Take the opportunity to blackmail 2

In fact, this is very simple, that is, to ask for money, food, winter quilts, and Xiong Wencan to ensure that when he is not in Fujian, others will not interfere in the affairs of his territory! And he also wants to openly control a good port in Shandong as his bridgehead.

Xiong Wencan felt a toothache while listening, and hissing inhaling cold air in his teeth. He scolded this bastard in his heart. He really dared to open his mouth. He owed the money, and he had to pay for another three months of military pay first. How much money does it cost!

Even if a soldier's one or two half of the silver is the military pay in a month, 8,000 people are 12,000 yuan of silver. Yu Xiaotian's guy will have half a year's military pay, which is 72,000 yuan of money. In addition, at least one person has to pay a month's military pay, and 12,000 yuan is 12,000 yuan. Together, the military pay alone is 84,000 taels. Silver.

This is only for these 8,000 mainland soldiers. This time, there will definitely be a boat division to transport these mainland divisions to the north. It is estimated that there will be no less people in the navy, at least more than 3,000 people, or even 4,000, which is tens of thousands of taels of silver.

This is really not a small amount! What's more, Yu Xiaotian asked him to prepare a large number of grain. If the grain there is not good in the future, he will definitely come back to ask for it. I'm afraid this matter will be a little troublesome. Fujian itself has many mountains and few fields, and the grain is not enough. Yu Xiaotian needs so much grain at once, even if he tossed the granaries everywhere. Empty, I'm afraid it may not be satisfied with the requirements of filial piety.

But these things that Yu Xiaotian wants are indeed true. They don't pay, and they have to go north to the bitter place of Denglai to work hard. The soldiers are not fools. What do they want them to do? If they don't give enough food, they are asked to work, which is equivalent to letting horses not eat grass and letting them pull cars and animals. They don't work honestly, let alone people.

In addition, the north is much colder than Fujian. Yu Xiaotian's men are all southern soldiers. They suddenly run to that cold place and will definitely not adapt to the climate. When it is cold, a large number of people will freeze to death and fight? What a fart!

And most of the elites under Yu Xiaotian are the masters who have been pirates. They are the real proud soldiers and tough generals. He dare not say that their loyalty to the court is not much higher than that of the Dongjiang army, and even they are not as good as them.

The old headquarters of the Dongjiang Army caused such chaos. If these guys brought by Yu Xiaotian don't have enough to eat, wear, and don't get military pay, who can guarantee that these guys will also make a scene of mutiny after they go there? If they go, because they owe food and don't have winter clothes, so that they will make a lot of noise in the local area, it will not be to suppress the rebellion, but to make trouble.

It is rumored that Kong Li launched a mutiny this time because of a chicken, and these guys may dare to make trouble because of a needle.

At that time, he, the governor, is thousands of miles away, and there is no place to press down. These guys have left their hometown for a long time. No matter how homesick they are, no one dares to say that they will work hard there.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian's order to go north to suppress the rebellion this time is not only related to his honor and disgrace, but also to the honor and disgrace of the 8,000 generals, but also directly related to his future of Xiong Wencan.

He did a good job. Xiong Wencan did a good job in the future. Yu Xiaotian didn't do well and caused trouble. Xiong Wencan was the only one to take the blame.

So Xiong Wencan can only grit his teeth and admit it, but the quantity has bargained with Yu Xiaotian. It's okay to make up for the arrears, but he has to pay three months in advance. He has no money on hand and can only pay for a month at most. If there are more, we will talk about it later!

In terms of military food, he tried to ensure three months of military food as much as possible. In addition, he also advised Yu Xiaotian to ask for some from the prefectures along the way when he stopped along the way. Now the emperor aims to meet the needs of Xiaotian as much as possible and not to make trouble.

As long as there is a slight threat, those prefectures and counties along the way can only pinch their noses and recognize them. On this way, they can at least raise some more military food, at least there is no problem to meet their half a year's use.

In terms of winter clothing, no one grows cotton in Fujian. Even if there are people planting cotton, the number is very small. However, the area around Songjiang Prefecture is the main producer of cotton. In the past two years, the world has been in chaos, resulting in poor sales of cotton cloth in Songjiang, and cotton farmers can't find a market for cotton farmers. Now Songjiang Prefecture has hoarded a lot of cotton and is worried that there is no place to sell it.

After Yu Xiaotian's trip, he can stop at Songjiang Mansion and blackmail Songjiang Mansion. It is estimated that he can also get some cotton and cotton cloth to respond to the urgency. Xiong Wencan can send someone to immediately present this matter to the court. Ask the emperor to ask about this matter. The officials of Songjiang Mansion may not dare not to do it.

In addition, the weather is about to warm up. Two months later, the temperature in the north has warmed up. After Xiaotian's arrival in the north, the temperature will not freeze to death. If you don't prepare for winter clothes in time, stick to it and give him some time. Before winter this year, prepare all the winter clothes to ensure that If the winter rebellion is not completely over, it must be sent to Yu Xiaotian.

As for Yu Xiaotian's problem of directly controlling a good port in the north, Xiong Wencan also took it for granted. When asked Yu Xiaotian what he wanted, Yu Xiaotian directly named Jiaozhou Bay, that is, Qingdao Port in later generations. Where is the largest natural port in the north? If not, it's stupid? Have you done?

So Xiong Wencan thought about it and felt that this requirement was also reasonable. After all, Yu Xiaotian led the southern soldiers and horses to go north and needed to transfer a large number of material personnel. In the future, when the rebellion ends, it is also necessary to transport the soldiers and horses back through waterways. It is also reasonable to use a port as their material personnel transfer base. .

And this matter cannot be handed over to Shandong officials. He is very clear about the efficiency of Shandong officials. They quarrel with each other and lack money. If they are asked to do it, let alone a few months, even if they are given two years, they may not be able to do it well. At that time, the cucumber dishes will be cold.

So Xiong Wencan immediately nodded and promised to write a letter in person to report this matter to Ming Sheng and Chen Qi's interests, and strived to hand over the area of Fushan and even Jiaozhou Bay to Yu Xiaotian for temporary control as a material transfer base for Fujian soldiers in the north.

And Yu Xiaotian mentioned that when he was not in Fujian, others should not take the opportunity to intervene in the affairs of his territory. Of course, Xiong Wencan patted his chest and promised that he would never let people find these troubles.

So Yu Xiaotian pretended to be reluctant and nodded and agreed. As for the time of sending troops, Yu Xiaotian still hesitated and refused to make up his mind to set a date of departure. He said that the food and salary were not in place, and he needed to mobilized people to practice. In addition, he had to prepare A large amount of ammunition and materials.

Xiong Wencan was anxious as soon as he heard it. In the imperial edict, the emperor pointed out that Yu Xiaotian should rush to Denglai to obey his orders within two months at the latest after receiving the imperial edict. In less than two months, no one can say what will happen on the road. In addition, Xiaotian has made up his mind to blackmailing along the way. Food and salary.

If he didn't lead his troops to arrive at Denglai within two months, this matter would be troublesome again, so Xiong Wencan burned his buttocks and urged Yu Xiaotian to leave as soon as possible and don't delay.

Now the wind direction at sea is also wrong, and the speed of the ship going north will be very slow. This time really can't be delayed!

Yu Xiaotian didn't seem to take the imperial edict seriously. He finally agreed. After half a month at the earliest, he could swear to set out, and he couldn't do it long ago!

Xiong Wencan can only pinch his nose and nod his promise. Within half a month, he will deliver the money and grain materials promised to Yu Xiaotian to Yu Xiaotian. Even if it can't be transported to Weitou Bay, it will be transported to all parts of Fujian coast first. When the boat master travels, he will ship directly in these coastal places, which can save time, manpower and material resources. .

Moreover, Yu Xiaotian said that sending troops after half a month is quite face-threate, because in this era, large-scale long-distance mobilization of troops, even if it is only a few hundred miles away, it is not easy to mobilize the army. It is necessary to make a lot of preparations in advance. Usually, the military readiness level is also very poor, not to mention the material reserves. It takes half a year to prepare for a long time, and it is common for a short three months.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian promised to start half a month later, which is by no means perfunctory Xiong Wencan, but really needs such a time.

Actually, does it take half a month to prepare for Xiaotian? The answer must be no. Yu Xiaotian actually began to arrange this matter in advance half a year ago.

The deployment and storage of various materials, the deployment of ships, the dispatch and training of personnel, and the production and ammunition of various weapons and ammunition have not been calm at all in the past few months. The production system can be said to have been fully prepared for this war.

The reason why Yu Xiaotian did this is to make a gesture. Otherwise, as soon as the imperial edict arrived, Xiong Wencan fooled him and started it. This is too obvious. A bright-eyed person can guess that Yu Xiaotian had already prepared to go on an expedition. In that case, I'm afraid someone will secretly say that he is ulicious.

Of course, this half a month is still needed. At the very least, it is necessary to concentrate the troops dispatched this time. In addition, it also needs to calculate, take chicken feathers as an arrow, send people to the front station in advance, and notify some coastal prefectures and counties targeted by Yu Xiaotian along the way, indicating that he needs to stop there for supplies. They need to prepare in advance for things and materials.
