Chapter 97 Blackmail all the way

Some soldiers are seasick and even commit suicide by jumping into the sea. If they hadn't been pulled, I don't know how many people would have jumped into the sea and committed suicide because they couldn't stand this kind of seasickness.

But after a few days, after surviving the most sad days, the vast majority of people gradually got used to this kind of drifting on the sea, and gradually began to adapt to this state. The feeling of seasickness gradually eased a lot and they could gradually eat.

As long as you eat, you can recover your physical strength. This time, Yu Xiaotian has formulated very strict food standards and health systems in the fleet.

Everyone on the ship must supply a certain amount of vegetables or melons and fruits every day. Whether you like it or not, you must eat it. Moreover, the fresh water stored on the ship must be replaced by new water every three to five days. The whole ship is not allowed to drink raw water. All of them should be boiled and a little tea should be added to drink. It can reduce or eliminate diarrhea caused by water deterioration and drinking raw water.

The sanitation system on the ship is also very strict. Everyone must go to the toilet at the stern of the ship. The excreta goes directly into the sea and is not allowed to stay on the ship. Moreover, because there are many people on the ship, there are also two temporary toilets on both sides of the stern. Everyone must go to these toilets to deal with life events.

In the cabin of the ship, a sanitary duty system is established, and the captain conducts a unified inspection. However, whenever it is found that someone is defecating everywhere on the ship, I'm sorry, I find out who did it, clean it with my hands, and then tie my legs head down and throw it into the sea three times. After being picked up, I guess this guy will not be in my life. Dare to be lazy in the cabin again and defecate everywhere.

If you don't admit it, it's easy to do it. Everyone will be hungry for a day. In addition, the inside and outside of the cabin, including the deck, are repeatedly scrubbed three times, which can be regarded as punishment.

Everyone's clothes must be changed once every two days when the weather is good. If there are no conditions for cleaning, they must be put on the deck of the ship to be exposed to the sun. As a means of disinfection and sterilization, everyone's underwear should be washed once within at least five days and put into a bucket and scalded with boiling water once. To reduce the incidence of disease.

And in order to ensure that these soldiers and officers do not have a significant physical decline during the voyage, as long as the weather permits, they should go to the deck, run around the deck, do push-ups, sit-ups, squat and jump, so as to avoid long-term rest, cause muscle relaxation and maintain muscle strength. .

In terms of food, special care is also given during the voyage. Everyone has at least a piece of bacon or salted fish every day, and there is kelp soup to drink every day. The quality of the food is better than when they were on land. Every few days, they also give everyone a little wine to boost morale and relax their spirits.

In addition, everyone smokes two cigarettes a day, but they are not allowed to smoke in the cabin. They are only allowed to smoke when venting on the upper deck, so as to avoid causing a fire in the cabin or making the air quality of the cabin more dirty.

In short, as long as you can think of it, the logistics department has thought of it in advance. Yu Xiaotian also pays special attention to a lot of precautions. The medical officer who goes out with the ship regularly has to patrol the ships every few days. However, if he finds a soldier who may be in danger of infection, he will immediately transfer it to the shore with a small boat to stay there for medical treatment, and will be collected afterwards. People, all along the way, shelter them and send them back to Fujian's homes or the army.

Chongzhen also felt that this matter should be the case. When the southern soldiers first arrived in the north, they could not stand the cold climate. Once a large number of frostbite, they would delay the rebellion. Therefore, he immediately ordered Nanzhili to supervise it, and Songjiang Prefecture was responsible for mobilising a batch of winter cotton robes to Yu Xiao. If the quantity is not enough, use cotton and Songjiang cloth to offset it, and let Yu Xiaotian find someone to make cotton-padded quilts after going to the place.

In fact, before that, Yu Xiaotian had prepared things to protect his men from the cold. Everyone was given a quilt, a class of tent, a row of carts, and loaded tents and other supplies. Everyone also sent a set of cotton-padded trousers, including cotton boots, and 2,000 sets of winter clothes were also stored. , supply the army at any time.

Extortion of Songjiang Mansion is just to get more things to protect against the cold. After winter this year, it can be given temporary conscripted auxiliary soldiers or sent to refugees for life-saving purposes.

After receiving the imperial edict, Songjiang Mansion did not dare to neglect and immediately began to prepare. Although it did not handle all the requirements in accordance with Yu Xiaotian's requirements, he still agreed. Three months later, Yu Xiaotian could send another ship to Songjiang Mansion to pick up the goods, so when Yu Xiaotian arrived at Songjiang Mansion when the fleet arrived in Songjiang Mansion Wait, it was not too difficult for them. After a little supply, they continued to go north.

However, after entering Shandong, Yu Xiaotian did not continue to come to the shore for extortion, because after entering Shandong, there was only one Qingzhou government. Although Qingzhou government is a large territory, it is a poor place next to Laizhou Prefecture. Now the Denglai Rebellion has spread to Qingzhou Prefecture. A large number of soldiers and horses gathered in the Qingzhou Prefecture, which increased the burden on the Qingzhou Prefecture. Even if Yu Xiaotian wanted to blackmail, he could not blackmail many things. Therefore, he simply made a favor and rushed directly to Jiaozhou Bay without offend the officials of Shandong.

As for the matter of Jiaozhou Bay, Xiong Wencan also wrote a letter to Emperor Chongzhen. After reading Xiong Wencan's report, Chongzhen discussed with the cabinet minister. Although Yu Xiaotian's request seemed to be a little excessive, it was also reasonable. The court could not do this request for him, but Zhou Yanru, the first assistant, was the most In the end, it was proposed that a precedent could be set, and the Fushanwei area should be temporarily handed over to Yu Xiaotian's control.

However, after suppressing the rebellion, Yu Xiaotian wanted to return this place to Laizhou Prefecture. The advantage of this is that these Fujian soldiers and horses have a more suitable place for material transfer and a place for boatmen to berth. What conflicts between them and the local Shandong and Laizhou government in the province?

At present, the most important thing is to suppress the rebellion. If these Fujian soldiers and horses have a violent conflict with Shandong in Denglai because of some small things, it is not appropriate, not to mention that when Xiong Wencan handed over this memorial, he has communicated with several cabinet scholars in private. Yu Xiaotian's hand Next, there was also a movement between them in advance, so there was not much resistance in this court.
