Daming Haiku

Chapter 177 Against the Alliance

Hearing this, Yu Xiaotian was furious and immediately rushed to Raoping County in person. He directly broke into the county and ran to the county government office. As soon as the doorkeeper was about to stop him, he was immediately ordered by Yu Xiaotian to turn over and tie him to the ground. He led people straight into the back hall of the county government office, broke into the courtyard behind Zhixian County, and directly dealt with that matter. The Lord arrested him.

Zhixian was furious and came out to scold Yu Xiaotian. Yu Xiaotian asked Xiong Wencan's edict, saying that he was ordered to act and had the right to act cheaply. Zhixian refused to give up and still scolded him.

In Yu Xiaotian's anger and slapped him, the old man in his fifties immediately flew out, and half of his teeth were knocked off. Yu Xiaotian immediately ordered someone to tie up this guy, sent someone to hand him directly to Xiong Wencan in the name of a thief, and took the victim's appearance. All the criminal evidence was also sent to sue the county for hiding thieves.

This matter is also quite noisy in Guangdong. When did a Qiu Ba dare to treat a civil official like this, even if he was just a small county magistrate, Yu Xiaotian beat him and tied him up. Is there any king's law?

So many people immediately wrote to impeach Yu Xiaotian, and some people directly complained to Xiong Wencan, but the court still did not give them an explanation about this matter, because although Yu Xiaotian did arrogantly, the guy arrested at that time was indeed proved guilty and there was no injustice.

After the event, Yu Xiaotian handed over several pirates to Xiong Wencan for interrogation. After Xiong Wencan's interrogation, he did not find that Yu Xiaotian had wronged this guy, so he imprisoned the county magistrate. Please report to the court. The court ordered the magistrate to dismiss the magistrate and hand it to the inspector. Later, the magistrate actually lost his mind. Bag.

Invisibly, this incident has contributed to Yu Xiaotian's arrogance, which made Yu Xiaotian extremely arrogant during the following coastal thieves period. Through the extermination of thieves, he greatly gathered a large amount of wealth and obtained a lot of land in coastal prefectures and counties.

Soon in April, Yan Siqi and Chu Cailao announced that they were appeased, which was annihilated by Yu Xiaotian. Yan Siqi was appointed by Xiong Wencan as the president and returned to serve under Yu Xiaotian's command. Chu Cailao was relatively old, and he took the initiative to dare to do this industry. His subordinates were returned to Xiaotian, and he was allowed to go. Without being blamed for returning to his hometown to retire, he returned to his hometown in Fujian and became a rich man.

The pirates in Guangdong realized that Yu Xiaotian wanted to play for real this time and insisted on robbing their territory and forcing them to die, so these people quit. When they had been active in the Guangdong and Guangxi for so long, they had already regarded the sea as their own backyard. How could they tolerate Xiaotian? Did an outsider drive them all away?

So during May, Liu Xiang, Zheng Yiguan, Qiu Ming and other large pirates met at the Pearl River Eskou and agreed to unite to deal with Yu Xiaotian's entry into Guangdong this time.

Each of these people has at least thousands of people on hand, and dozens of ships. The big ones have hundreds of ships and converge together. It is really not a small force. In a short period of time, more than 30,000 pirates have been gathered and more than 700 warships have been assembled.

Of course, their warships need to be quoted, because their warships and Yu Jiajun's sailor warships are incomparable. On the surface, there are absolutely many of their warships, but in fact, only more than 200 of these 700 warships are large ships, weapons and equipment. It is also uneven. Only a small number of ships are equipped with better Western cannons, and most of the ships are equipped with some earth cannons.

These people finally elected the most powerful Liu Xiang as their alliance leader, bloodthirsty as the alliance, and wanted to fight with Yu Xiaotian. Either Yu Xiaotian was driven back to Fujian by them, or they broke their halberd into the sand.

After Yu Xiaotian went south, he was not in a hurry to attack forward, but fought along the way and pulled out the pirates along the coast. During this period, it was also found that there were officers, navy and soldiers participating in the area of Jieshi Weijiesheng in Huizhou, Yu Xiaotian wanted to arrest several generals and also with the local There was a head-on clash with the garrison in Guangdong.

The general who was detected by Yu Xiaotian is the general of Qian, who is stationed in a military navy water village around Jiesheng. He has hundreds of men on hand. He is usually publicly as a naval general, but in fact, he has been secretly acting as a pirate, specializing in hijacking ships at sea, and this man is cruel.

In order to keep his identity from being known, he often does things very well. The boatman on the stolen merchant ship is often killed by him. After the incident, the ship will be dragged by him to an unsightly place and secretly sold, and a guard of Jiesheng Institute is also involved with him and secretly acts as his nest owner. These guys are actually dressed in big The skin of the Ming army is the trade of pirates.

This time, Yu Xiaotian led his troops south and had already inquired about what they had done in advance, and the evidence was conclusive. Therefore, as soon as the fleet arrived at the Jiesheng Institute, he ordered to surround the Jiesheng Institute and blocked the water village. He sent someone to inform the guard commander of Jieshiwei and asked him to send someone to order the capture these culprits.

The commander of Wei was shocked when he heard the news. He didn't know anything about what his opponents had done, but because he usually ate a lot of the benefits of these people, this time Yu Xiaotian came to the coast of Guangdong as a guest army to beg for thieves. This was undoubtedly equivalent to stepping on his territory and letting them wide The face of the Eastern Garrison was lightless.

So he took it as his business and asked Yu Xiaotian not to care about this matter. Yu Xiaotian didn't care whether he was willing or not. After ordering to surround the Jiesheng Institute, he immediately ordered people to open the door, otherwise he would fire cannons to attack the city.

Jiesheng City is a city with relatively complete garrison facilities. In the past, it was mainly used to prevent the Japanese and prepare for the Japanese. The guards stationed here were scared to hear the news. How dare they open the city gate and let Yu Xiaotian's people come in to arrest him?

So he ordered his men to close the city of Jiesheng, resolutely did not open the gate, and shouted in the city, saying that Yu Xiaotian framed him and ordered the people under Yu Xiaotian to evacuate immediately.

Yu Xiaotian gave him a day to think about it. After a day, the defense still refused to open the city and surrender, so Yu Xiaotian immediately ordered to attack the city.

More than a dozen warships lined up on the sea outside the city of Jiesheng, and fired all the cannons. In less than an hour, they bombarded the wall. The infantry who landed on the city immediately attacked the city, disarmed all the hundreds of officers and soldiers in the city, watched them separately, and began to torture them severely.

The defense was that when Xiaotian ordered to attack the city, he had been killed by gunpoint in the city. Naturally, he didn't have to suffer this crime anymore, but Mr. Qian of the water village was caught. After a round of torture, he poured beans like a bamboo tube, and colluded with the defense over the years. Poured out.

In response to the confessions of other officers and soldiers, the case was completely confirmed. Yu Xiaotian immediately sent people to send these people to Xiong Wencan and took over the victory.

This incident caused another uproar in Guangdong. At this time, Yu Xiaotian's attack on Zhixian County had not subsided. At this time, he shelled the city of Guangdong, bombarded the defenders, and arrested Mr. Qian. Therefore, the military generals in Guangdong also quit. They quarreled with Yu Xiaotian's behavior too rampantly, and even they The generals in the East dare to kill and arrest them. Is that okay?

So these people went to Xiong Wencan to sue and impeach Yu Xiaotian. However, Yu Xiaotian did a very real thing, and all kinds of evidence were collected in place. Human evidence and material evidence and confessions were all available. They even obtained two merchant ships that had not yet been sold according to their confessions.

So of course, Xiong Wencan can't defend these guys. He can only deal with it impartially, behead the Mr. Qian, and report the story to the court. Chongzhen saw that it was good. Yu Xiaotian was really arrogant enough. Even the Wei Suocheng dared to fight. What a garrison said that he would be bombard him.

But after reading the memorial presented by Xiong Wencan, he has nothing to say. Now he doesn't expect that even the generals have secretly started the pirate business. No wonder these generals have repeatedly failed to destroy the pirates. It turns out that they themselves are pirates. Soldiers are thieves, and thieves are soldiers. How can these pirates be wiped out?

Although Yu Xiaotian did indeed go too far, he should first report Xiong Wencan and let Xiong Wencan deal with it, instead of carrying his own knife to directly bombard the city of Jiesheng, directly bombard the defenders into scum, and arrest these criminals in person.

But Yu Xiaotian still did this, regardless of the face of his colleagues or what others thought. He could do whatever he wanted, but on the contrary, he had to admit that his thunderous method did have a good effect.

If Yu Xiaotian reports this kind of thing to Xiong Wencan in a formal way, once the news is exposed, these criminals will immediately slip away and end up.

So Chongzhen had no choice but to acquiesce to this matter and suppress it, but it made people secretly remind Xiong Wencan that it is better to restrain Yu Xiaotian, and don't let Yu Xiaotian make too much trouble during the suppression of bandits between the two Guangdong and Guangxi, so that it is difficult to deal with it in the future.

Xiong Wencan also felt that Yu Xiaotian's two things were a little too much. He sent someone to remind Yu Xiaotian in private that if he encounters similar situations in the future, he doesn't have to do so. He might as well save some face for others and leave the matter to deal with it.

Yu Xiaotian said that the reason why he did this was for the purpose of Xiong Wencan. If they were exposed, these people would definitely not be caught and would cause harm to the people in the future. If Xiong Wencan couldn't stand his behavior, he would be willing to immediately turn his head and go back to Fujian. Whoever cares about the suppression of the bandits.

When Xiong Wencan heard Yu Xiaotian's reply, he felt that his head was big. He thought that Yu Xiaotian was really not a good guy to meet, and he was really careless.
