Chapter 98 Login

So after thinking about it over and over again, Chongzhen finally approved Xiong Wencan's request and agreed to temporarily hand over the area in front of Fushan to Yu Xiaotian's Fujian soldiers as a base, allowing his boat division to use Jiaozhou Bay as a temporary military port in the north for their boatmen to berth and dock, and allow them to build docks and trestles there. And other dock facilities.

These things were finally not done slowly. Before Xiaotian led his troops to arrive at Jiaozhou Bay, the court approved them, but this was only confirmed by the court in writing. In fact, since last year, the Sea Wolf Group has purchased a large amount of land and built a large fortress in front of Fushan. And a temporary dock bridge was built by the sea for ships to berth.

It's just that this matter used to operate secretly, and the local government closed its eyes. It doesn't matter. Now let the court make it clear that this is equivalent to officially legalizing this matter, making it more convenient, more righteous and unscrupulous for Yu Xiaotian to act here in the future.

So when Xiaotian led the boat fleet to Jiaozhou Bay, the front of Fushan was ready for traffic defense. In addition, the advance personnel were ready to welcome the sea wolf's boatman here.

In fact, the floating mountain center is the location of the later Qingdao City, close to the Olympic sports center of the later generations, but in this era, this area is still a piece of hairy land, and the number of people is quite rare.

The land purchased by the sea wolf's advance personnel is also a piece of land designated by Yu Xiaotian. It is the famous area of Qingdao Port, which is located in the northeast corner of Jiaozhou Bay. Now in the future Qingdao Port, the advance personnel have built a simple temporary building on the shore long after last winter. The dock, and two trestles were built into the sea.

During this period, Yu Xiaotian was ordered to go north. The advance personnel here had no time to build more trestles for the sea wolf's boaters to dock and unload personnel and materials, so they simply spent a lot of money in the local area and purchased a large number of small boats. With these small fishing boats, they directly lined up in the sea, rambed into wooden stakes and fixed the fishing boats. Laying logs or thick boards on fishing boats and going deep into the sea becomes a temporary floating trestle that allows several ships to dock and unload at the same time.

In a word, although the conditions here are very poor, Qingdao Port itself is a natural port. Even without any renovation, it is enough for thousands of large ships to berth. Later generations can even berth the world's largest 300,000-ton giant cargo ship. Now Yu Xiaotian has the largest ship at most. The displacement is only 1,000 tons, or about 800 tons at most. There are 8,000 pieces stuffed here, which is just like playing.

It's just that the unloading conditions here are far less than those of Weitou Bay. After all, the infrastructure here is too weak. There are only a few simple temporary trestles and floating trestles for ships to dock and unload.

So whether it is unloading personnel or materials, there are great restrictions. The soldiers on these ships have been floating on the sea for more than a month, almost two months, and they have been screaming anxiously for a long time. Seeing that the destination has arrived, of course, everyone wants to go down to the shore as soon as possible and step on the solid one. The ground.

So in the Xiaotianling fleet, ships loaded with goods and mules used trestles to unload, and the rest of the personnel used the sampan carried by the ship. After berthing nearby, they directly used the sampan to unload the personnel to the shore.

For a moment, a scene of masts and boats like walls appeared on the sea around the floating mountain. More than 100 sampan were lowered from the boat at the same time. A large number of soldiers shouted horns, rowed excitedly and rushed to the shore.

It is undoubtedly quite shocking that such a large-scale fleet suddenly appeared in Jiaozhou Bay. Although there are sailors in the north, there are also many fishing boats, but compared with these big boats from the south, it is nothing. Among the Dengzhou navy and the Dongjiang army navy, 200 warships, even if It's a huge thing, but those ships, now placed next to the ships of Fujian sailors, have become small and not enough to look at all.

Many people here have seen such a big ship for the first time in their lives. In addition, so many have appeared at the same time, which is really shocking. Many people stood on the shore and looked at the fleet of Fujian sailors on the sea from afar. Their chins fell to the ground. If the eyeballs hadn't been blocked, they would have been Even his eyes are about to roll to the ground.

So many people couldn't help taking a deep breath and were surprised! How was such a big ship built? How can it be so big? And so much, how much money will it take to build so many big boats!

Tut! This Fujian people are really rich! The sailor pulled out a boat casually, and it was covered with a large group of boats by the Dengzhou sailors! I just don't know how this Fujian soldier is compared with the Qi army of General Qi in those years. If they can be like the Qi army of General Qi in those years, then the rebels can be seen!

In short, the people around the seaside are talking about the bustle and saying everything. Most people still have a certain skeptical attitude towards the Fujian soldiers and horses who came to Laizhou this time, but they still feel very powerful about this navy in Fujian, at least much better than the sailors in the north.

Yu Xiaotian's boat was of course the first moored ship. There had been a leading personnel here who put on the armor or official uniform of the Ming army and stood on the dock to meet Yu Xiaotian.

When Yu Xiaotian was sailing, he calculated the time silently. Now it is the beginning of May. Although he could occasionally receive some information about Denglai when he landed on the way, on the whole, it is far less detailed than the information obtained in Fujian, but there is nothing he can do. At present, the means of communication are too backward, and there is no radio, so the fastest way to send messages is to use carrier pigeons.

However, there are considerable limitations in transmitting messages by carrier pigeons. Carrier pigeons cannot obtain new information at sea in time, so they can only unilaterally release flying carrier pigeons to transmit information to the outside world.

So along the way, he didn't know much about the changes in the situation on Denglai's side in the past two months, so after he got off the ship, he didn't even have time to check the preparations for receiving the army here, so he immediately asked the person in charge here about the changes in the situation here.

"General! In the past two months, the rebels gathered heavy troops and began to besiege Laizhou City! Xu Congzhi, the new governor of Shandong, personally sat in Laizhou City and defended Laizhou City. The rebels repeatedly failed to conquer it. They transported Hongyi cannons directly from Dengzhou to Laizhou City and set up Hongyi cannons to attack the city. Just half a month ago, they were damaged by the bricks and stones of the rebel cannons. At present, Laizhou City is now taken by Lord Zhu Wannian Zhu And Lord Xie led the army to defend Laizhou City!

At present, the news that Lord Xu was injured and could not be seen has spread to the capital. It is said that the capital has sent Lord Zhu Dadian, a former deputy inspector of Fujian, to take over the post of governor of Shandong to suppress the rebellion! Moreover, it is said that Lord Zhu has traveled day and night to Qingzhou Prefecture. Specifically, he has not arrived in Qingzhou Prefecture. At present, no news has been received!

However, the court has sent people to send the imperial edict. After ordering the general to lead his troops to arrive here, he immediately led his troops to Pingdu Prefecture first, attacked Pingdu Prefecture, first opened the passage from the Guanjun Road to Laizhou City, and defeated the rebels operating in Jiaozhou and Pingdu Prefecture! I haven't received any updated news about the specifics yet!" Yu Xiaotian's subordinate, who was in charge here, immediately reported to Yu Xiaotian about the recent changes in the situation here.

Yu Xiaotian's ship had not had time to adapt to the solid land under his feet, so his mind immediately turned around. For the Denglai Rebellion, he had specially read some historical materials before. He still knew the development of this history and could roughly grasp the situation of the rebels and the Denglai area. Changes in the situation.

As for Xu Congzhi, he also knows something about it. Xu Congzhi is a relatively capable official. In the face of danger, he was ordered to replace Yu Dacheng and became the governor of Shandong. He was ordered to lead the army to Laizhou to suppress the rebels.

However, the court has been drifting on whether it should be touched or eliminated. For several months, it has not been able to make a complete decision. At first, the opinion of the master's appointment prevailed, and officers and soldiers from all walks of life held a fluke and were unwilling to fight to the death with the rebels.

The result was a sluggishness of the army, and the generals were unwilling to fight to the death, which led to a series of military defeats and lost a large number of officers and soldiers in the face of the attack of the rebels.

This also directly led to Xu Congzhi's arrival in Laizhou City, and soon there were no soldiers available. A large number of officers and soldiers were defeated by the rebels, even without reinforcements. Even the transferred officers and soldiers were far away, but refused to advance, which made Xu Congzhi, Zhu Wannian and other officials only organize the defenders of Laizhou City and the internal and external forces of the city. The people defended the city, but were unable to launch any form of attack on the rebels.

Now, led by Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng, the rebels have realized that if they want to expand their results and gain greater weights, they can only advance west, take down Laizhou City, control the whole Denglai in their hands, and then continue to attack the hinterland of Shandong. If they can take down Shandong as a whole, even If you only take half or more of the land in Shandong, then you can also have the qualification to challenge the Ming court today.

Therefore, after March, Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng mobilized a large number of rebels. After taking down Pingdu Prefecture and Zhaoyuan, they took Laiyang and Wendeng, and began to gather rebels and arrived at Laizhou City, launching a long siege against Laizhou City.
