Chapter XII Military Writ
Xiong Wencan also nodded and said, "General Yu, this kind of thing really can't be talked nonsense!" Thinking that the thief has more than 10,000 people, and is familiar with the local terrain, and has the advantage of time and place, how can you be his opponent with only 2,000 people? In this way, if you don't have enough troops at hand, how about this officer can mobilize another 3,000 soldiers for you to command? ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but pout, and they all thought to themselves, this Lord Futai is really good to the surname Yu, and he actually took the initiative to increase his troops, if this product can't win this time, then see how we clean up this kid!
Yu Xiaotian hugged his fists and bowed to Xiong Wencan and said, "Thank you Lord Futai for your love!" Now the last general also knows that the Fujian army is insufficient, although the two thousand people are a little less, but the last general thinks that the soldiers are expensive but not expensive, these two thousand generals, are brought out by the last general, dare not say that it is like an arm, but at least it is convenient to transfer, and obey orders, if another 3,000 soldiers and horses are transferred to the last general, I am afraid that with the ability of the last general, they cannot be used!
It's better not to use them than to ignore them, these two thousand generals, in the eyes of the last general, to deal with Blackbeard is enough! ”
Xiong Wencan couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and said in his heart, you guy is too arrogant, this is not a joke, in case you have two thousand people and horses, if you can't take down the black beard, wouldn't it be a shame, and even the old man may have to follow you unlucky, just as he was about to speak, Xie Longyi's eyes flashed next to him, and he shouted coldly to Xiaotian:
"General Yu, you don't joke, are you sure that it is enough to only bring 2,000 soldiers from your headquarters?"
"Thank you for reminding the military gate, the last general is indeed not a joke, and it is difficult to chase the horse after a word! The last general decided to bring only 2,000 soldiers from the headquarters, plus 1,000 local regiments in Quanzhou to train Xiangyong as auxiliaries! The last general can make a military order today, and if he can't get back Blackbeard's head within three months, he is willing to engage in military law! ”
Yu Xiaotian doesn't like Xie Longyi's attitude very much, he also knows this time, everyone is waiting to see his jokes, if he is not good at the teacher this time, then what awaits him must be a mockery, even Xiong Wencan is afraid that it will not be good to speak for him, in the future, he will become a street rat in Fujian, become the laughing stock of everyone, and he will be a man with his tail between his legs in the future.
But isn't this time an opportunity? If he does a good enough job, there is no doubt that his reputation in Fujian will be greatly improved in the future, and Xiong Wencan will give him benefits in the future, and others will naturally have nothing to say.
As for Blackbeard's gang of bandits, Yu Xiaotian really didn't pay attention to it, although this guy gathered more than 10,000 people, but who are the more than 10,000 people under his command, he knows very well that there are probably only a few hundred people who can really fight and kill, and most of the rest are some mountain people or ordinary people, and they don't even have decent weapons, such a bandit, he took out two thousand elite land divisions to deal with them, in fact, he already thinks highly of them.
So since there was no way out, this matter had to be done, so he decided to do it more beautifully and make a blockbuster, so he made a statement and only took two thousand foot soldiers from the headquarters to quell the chaos.
"Good! Since General Yu has such courage, then I will wait for General Yu's good news! Three months is equal to good news for the general! Xie Longyi was also aroused a little angry, although he didn't hate Yu Xiaotian very much, and this time it was not aimed at Yu Xiaotian, the reason why he asked just now was actually to give Yu Xiaotian a step down, if Yu Xiaotian said that the troops were not enough, he was still willing to allocate some troops to Yu Xiaotian to cooperate with Yu Xiaotian's actions, but he didn't expect Yu Xiaotian to be so confident, then he would have nothing to say.
Xiong Wencan saw that Yu Xiaotian was so full of words, he couldn't help but feel anxious for Yu Xiaotian, his mouth was a little bitter, and he said in his heart, "Which song are you going to sing Yu Xiaotian!" This is not child's play, this is a pre-military discussion, you can't talk about the sky, you have eaten the day, you talk so much, if you can't calm Blackbeard within three months, then how can these guys easily let you go?
But now that Yu Xiaotian has spoken so much, and even said that he dared to make a military order, saying that he couldn't get rid of Blackbeard in three months and was willing to engage in military law, then he couldn't say anything more, so he could only sigh in his heart and secretly decided that if Yu Xiaotian couldn't do this in three months, he would find a way to protect him at that time.
After the matter was decided, Xiong Wencan immediately allocated enough food for three thousand people to Yu Xiaotian for three months, and also ordered Yu Xiaotian's subordinates to allocate two thousand taels of salary, hoping to help Yu Xiaotian boost his morale and let Yu Xiaotian exterminate Blackbeard and his gang of bandits within the agreed time as much as possible.
After Yu Xiaotian received the order, he no longer did more in Fuzhou City, and immediately rushed back to Weitou Bay with his personal guards.
The Sea Wolf Land Division stationed in the Quanzhou area, after accepting the reorganization and changing into the clothes of the official army, this time was far less busy than the navy, and now everyone knows that Yu Xiaotian controls the garrison in the Quanzhou area, and few people dare to make trouble in Quanzhou.
Therefore, this group of infantry is idle all day long, and they only have to find a place to count ants to play, and now Li Dazui and Meng Fei have been given a thousand general errands, and they are responsible for leading this group of land soldiers.
But it is not a way to let them be idle here, so Yu Xiaotian transferred Meng Fei back to Tamsui under the pretext of being responsible for the defense of Tamsui, this is Chiguoguo's fake public and private, but Meng Fei is now also the thousand president of the Ming Dynasty, although the Ming Dynasty has always had a tradition of arrears, but the military salaries of the generals above the thousand generals can basically be paid.
It's good now, Yu Xiaotian and his subordinates are now holding Da Mingkai's salary, but many people are still doing things in Taiwan, if people know the Tao, it will definitely cause a lot of people to attack, but Yu Xiaotian is really not afraid of this, who made him a general of coastal defense? Just find a reason, say where your subordinates are sent on business, who can do anything to him?
This time, when he heard that Yu Xiaotian was going to personally lead 2,000 infantry to advance into Yanping Mansion to suppress Blackbeard and other bandits, Li Dazui came to his senses as soon as he heard it, and this time he really choked on their energetic guys.
Although occasionally they will go out to do something to suppress bandits, but basically they are dealing with some small groups of bandits, a few dozen people, more than a few hundred, such a thing, it is really a piece of cake for their guys, not to mention that they also have a special combat team as a scout, give them a front station, many times even before they have time to do it, the special combat team or the scout team has already done the work.
Therefore, these 3,000 reorganized infantrymen basically only did some training during this time in Quanzhou, and they ate and slept enough every day, that is, they were trained by those officers on the school ground.
This time, when they heard that they had been able to go out to suppress the bandits, the infantry screamed excitedly one by one, and in a very short time, they were ready to set off.
Yu Xiaotian didn't do anything with them about pre-war mobilization, but just gathered people together and yelled at them on the school ground: "You all heard me clearly, this time I made a military order in the governor's yamen, and I got back the head of the black beard within three months, if you can't do this, after you guys come back, everyone will wait for the ass to bloom!" Without further ado, let's go! ”
After saying that, with a wave of his horsewhip, he rushed out of the barracks with his own soldiers, and the two thousand infantry immediately roared like wolf cubs, rumbling in a neat queue, and poured out of the barracks.
As for the 1,000 Xiangyong, in fact, it was also the militia that Yu Xiaotianxin had recently formed in the area of Quanzhou Prefecture, and after he arrived in Quanzhou, he ordered the regimental training of each township to be incorporated and uniformly deployed, and the training was carried out in a unified manner, although these Xiangyong were all local villages and gentry's families or villagers.
In the past, these regiments and villagers only listened to the call of the squires of their townships, and they were mainly responsible for guarding their homes, and to a certain extent, they were the private soldiers of the squires of each township.
However, after Yu Xiaotian came, he forced all townships and towns to train into county regiments according to the quota, and each county organized and trained 300 to 500 township braves, as the county-level mobility, once a township or village was attacked by bandits, it was not a large group of bandits, and these county regiments rushed to the scene of the accident to rescue.
In this way, each township and village will get rid of the situation of fighting for each other, and have a mobile force with high combat effectiveness, but the premise is that these people are under the jurisdiction of Xiaotian, and Yu Xiaotian is not responsible for paying them, and the food and salary of these villagers of the county regiment will be distributed to the squires of each township and village, and they will bear it.
In addition, when needed, Yu Xiaotian can mobilize the township warriors of these county regiments to use as his auxiliaries, and these people go out to fight with him, and they are not responsible for fighting, but are mainly responsible for logistics and transportation.
You must know that Fujian is a mountainous terrain, there are few horses, and the infantry of the sea wolf has much higher logistical requirements than other armies.
Under normal circumstances, during the march, the Seawolf infantry did not wear armor with them, but only carried weapons and some personal items, and the armor was transported by auxiliary soldiers before being put on the battlefield in wartime.
Therefore, Yu Xiaotian inevitably had to rely on auxiliary soldiers to provide logistical support for his subordinates.
Because Fujian is mostly mountainous and hilly, even if there are horses, it is difficult for vehicles to move when marching in this terrain, let alone loading a large number of materials.
After thinking about it for a while, Yu Xiaotian finally decided to use the method of replacing animals and soldiers, and completely relied on manpower vehicles to ensure the logistics and transportation supply of the army.
