Chapter 13 Reactions

Transport vehicles, there is nothing more suitable in such hilly and mountainous terrain than a chicken bus! So after Yu Xiaotian was appeased, he found a local carpenter in Quanzhou and ordered a large number of chicken buses.

This kind of chicken bus is much better than the simple version of the chicken bus used by the slaves and prisoners in Tamsui Village before, at least the wheels are made by craftsmen, and the axles are also made of ironwood or lychee wood.

It's a pity that he doesn't have the ability to manufacture bearings in large quantities now, if the bearings are used, this kind of chicken bus will be much lighter to use, even so, these chicken buses are pushed by strong labor, each car can pull at least about three hundred pounds of materials.

Eight hundred chicken carts can transport 120 tons of supplies at one time, which can basically meet the needs of 2,000 to 3,000 infantry and about a month's food needs, in addition to a certain amount of ammunition and supplies.

This is also the reason why Yu Xiaotian proposed to bring a thousand auxiliary soldiers to accompany him to help in the battle this time, and a thousand auxiliary soldiers are just equipped with 800 chicken buses, which can basically meet the logistics needs of the sea wolf marching and fighting.

This time, under Yu Xiaotian's order, from the county regiments in various counties of Quanzhou Prefecture, a thousand young and strong villagers with the best physical conditions were drawn out, and they were ordered to push chicken carts and move with the army.

His subordinates in Yu Xiaotian are not like those other colleagues, the Seawolf military system has always emphasized orders and prohibitions, and if they don't move, they will complete orders as quickly as possible.

So here Yu Xiaotian gave an order, and the two thousand elite infantry over there plus a thousand transport auxiliaries immediately rolled out of the Quanzhou Mansion, and the Quanzhou prefect learned the news and even sent someone to see Yu Xiaotian off.

Of course, before the brigade was deployed, the special combat team of about 200 people and the scouts of the scout company had already set off in advance.

These special combat soldiers and scouts, hiding their identities, disguised themselves as various people, etc., went on the road separately, rushed to Yanping Mansion before the brigade, and began to fight for the next big battle.

Although Yu Xiaotian looked down on this blackbeard in his heart, he was not careless because of this, everything that should be done was done according to the highest standards, and he used the lion to fight the rabbit and use all his strength to deal with this blackbeard.

So Yu Xiaotian did not hesitate to mobilize a large number of scouts and special operations detachments, and threw themselves into this attack against Blackbeard's group, which was all regarded as a major training for his opponents.

The infantry of the sea wolf moved much faster than Zhang Jiace, Zhang Jiace was ordered to send troops, and it took nearly two months to prepare alone, grinding along the way, and the daily marching distance was no more than twenty miles, while Yu Xiaotian's team only took three days from the order to prepare to the departure, and this way to Yanping Mansion, the daily marching distance exceeded fifty miles.

These fifty miles are not fifty miles in the plains, but fifty miles in the mountainous terrain, and if they are placed on the plains, the distance that the Seawolf's infantry can march every day can at least double.

Moreover, Yu Xiaotian's men and horses were strictly disciplined, and there was no robbery along the way like other officials and soldiers, which made many people and squires along the way feel very surprised.

However, to say that the sea wolf tribe has not committed any crimes in the autumn, it is also a bit too high to exalt Yu Xiaotian, although Yu Xiaotian strictly ordered his subordinates not to raid without permission on the way, but for some large towns and villages where he passed, he still had to extort a small amount of money.

But whenever they passed through some seemingly wealthy villages, Yu Xiaotian arranged for a special person to go to these villages and forts to inform the local gentry, and ask them to prepare grain, pigs, sheep, and silver for the army.

Some gentry didn't take Yu Xiaotian seriously at first, thinking that they were either official or official, and they didn't take Yu Xiaotian's Qiu Ba in their eyes, and were ready to refuse to obey their orders and refuse to blood the army, but when many people heard that this group of people was the previous sea wolf tribe, they were immediately frightened enough, and hurriedly prepared all kinds of labor army items and sent them to the roadside to be handed over to the sea wolf tribe for use.

After all, the sea wolves have been famous all these years, and they don't know how many powerful and noble relatives or bully gentry have been broken in the coastal area, and there are no less than hundreds of rich families slaughtered in the coastal area.

Although the sea wolf does not act much in the mainland, the reputation of this easy killing has spread throughout Fujian, and even the surrounding areas have long heard of the name of the sea wolf.

Therefore, when some of the gentry who were originally going to turn a blind eye to this army of soldiers and horses heard that this army of soldiers and horses was a group of sea wolves who had been cared, they were immediately frightened and weak, and no one believed that a newly appeased thief army would show a restrained attitude towards them.

Therefore, the army of sea wolves did not consume much food along the way, and the materials extorted along the way and the materials of the labor army basically met their needs, and the silver taels collected along the way were at least enough for the two thousand soldiers to pay a year's military salary.

Yu Xiaotian is not comparable to other Ming generals, he is almost rich now, and he will not deduct his military salary at all, so the sea wolf's subordinates can receive a full military salary every month, and in addition to the military salary stipulated by the Ming Dynasty, they can also receive another military salary issued to them by the sea wolf group from Yu Xiaotian.

Therefore, the current income of the Sea Wolf Troops as soldiers in Fujian is absolutely top-notch, and this kind of income makes many people feel red-eyed, and there are quite a lot of young people every day, asking everywhere when Yu Xiaotian will recruit people, and they are all willing to vote for Yu Xiaotian to obey orders.

This is the benefit of whitewashing, in the past, Yu Xiaotian recruited troops and horses, and he had to hide it, even if he opened his moves, many people were unwilling to serve in the sea wolf army because the sea wolf was a thief.

But now that Yu Xiaotian has been cared for and his identity has been whitewashed, the situation is different, and a large number of local young people in Fujian have almost broken their heads, wanting to get into Yu Xiaotian's hands as soldiers.

This allows Yu Xiaotian to have more choices when recruiting soldiers, during this time, although Yu Xiaotian did not recruit soldiers openly, but secretly recruited at least two or three thousand young people, most of these people are ordinary people or mountain people, or some fishermen's children, honest and simple temperament, with strong plasticity, as long as he is good at training, he will be able to become a group of brave people one day.

Of course, these people will not stay here in Weitouwan to train openly in the army, in this case, they will be truthful, and it is not good that they will be impeached for training private soldiers and intending to rebel, even if Yu Xiaotian has this heart, but now it can't be known.

Therefore, without exception, these newcomers were sent to the Tamsui New Barracks for training, and after a few months of brainwashing, it is estimated that they have forgotten who the Ming Emperor is, and they are determined to become hardcore supporters of Yu Xiaotian.

When Yu Xiaotian led his troops into the territory of Yongan County, Yanping Prefecture, as soon as he heard that the official army was coming, the local people could be said to have scattered in a hurry, and the villages he passed through were almost ten rooms and nine empty, which made Yu Xiaotian very helpless, which was caused by the first two groups of officers and soldiers.

It is no wonder that it is said that bandits are like combs, soldiers are like grates, and officials are like shavings, and these officers and soldiers are actually much more hateful than bandits, and the bandits at least have some scruples, after all, they will have to move around here in the future, and they will pay more or less attention to forming a little good karma, so as not to do things very absolutely.

However, the officers and soldiers did not care about this, they could be said that as long as they did not run into the powerful gentry's family, for the common people, it was simply an open fire of looting, and if they did not comply, they would kill people, and they would also cut off their heads and kill the good and meritorious.

In the past half a year, the officers and soldiers and Blackbeard have been tugging back and forth in Yongan County, but these ordinary people have suffered, but everything that can be eaten is almost not snatched away by Blackbeard, or snatched away by the officials and soldiers.

As a result, in just half a year, Blackbeard grew from a small group of bandits to a scale of more than 10,000 or even tens of thousands, roaring back and forth between the mountains and forests, causing repeated setbacks to the Fujian official army.

After figuring out the ins and outs of these things, Yu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel sad for these people in his heart, in any era, the most unlucky people are often these ordinary people, not to mention living in this era when officials are not as good as bandits, which makes these people even more miserable.

Yu Xiaotian asked himself if he was by no means the kind of person who would only be compassionate and compassionate, and his long-term hard work at sea had tempered his nerves cold enough, although looking at the miserable situation in front of him, he only sighed slightly, since he is now temporarily wearing this official robe, then why not do something that should be done seriously?

So he gave an order, the team accelerated to Yong'an County, Yong'an County Governor learned that there was another army, at first quite happy, but when he learned that it was Yu Xiaotian and his subordinates who had been rampant in the coastal areas of Fujian over the years, suddenly this heart was like being poured a basin of ice water, and it became cool and cold.

In the eyes of these people, those Ming officers and soldiers who are serious are all that kind of virtue, but now Xiong Wencan has sent such a thief army who has just accepted Zhao'an, and this Yong'an County is about to be completely finished! After learning the news, Yong'an Zhixian and those gentry officials in the county town only had to greet Xiong Wencan's ancestors for eight generations.

I heard that this Yu Haiwolf who came this time only brought a mere 2,000 soldiers, plus 1,000 regiments to practice village bravery, and he couldn't help but almost scold.

You must know that some time ago, Zhang Jiace, the deputy chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty, brought 5,000 officers and soldiers, plus 3,000 village warriors, and was actually beaten by Blackbeard and fled, but now Xiong Wencan only sent such a few people, and he is also a thief soldier who has just been appeased, and he actually wants to take down his Blackbeard and others, isn't this a joke?

(I'm dizzy, I didn't get a monthly pass yesterday!) )
