Chapter 156: Returning to the Mentor in Victory
As for the two places of Zhifu Island and Fushansuo, Yu Xiaotian said hello to Zhu Dadian when he left, and these two places are still controlled by his subordinates for the time being, the reason is very simple, that is, I don't know when the imperial court may still use him, and once he is allowed to go north again, it is indispensable to use these two places as landing sites.
If his people withdraw now, these two places may be abandoned at any time, and it will take a lot of effort at that time, not to mention the time and effort, and it will cost a lot, which is not strict, once he has something to do in the future, if he wants to go north in the future, because the dock facilities are not complete, he can't let him come over, so delay the imperial court's holy order, I'm afraid it will affect more.
Although Zhu Dadian felt that Yu Xiaotian would not withdraw his troops from these two places, and still left people to control these two places, it was a bit unreasonable, but the Ming Dynasty was currently in a mess, and the imperial court would not pay attention to this little thing, in addition, Yu Xiaotian made it clear that he would be transferred to the north by the imperial court if he didn't get it in the future, these two places were the places he needed to use as ports, and if he made a mistake, I am afraid that it would be counted on his head at that time.
In addition, although this matter does not make sense, but the Ming Dynasty has paid the most attention to a fait accompli, since these two places are now occupied by Yu Xiaotian, as long as his subordinates are not here to make a big deal out of it, then no one is willing to provoke him.
So Zhu Dadian did not forcibly ask Yu Xiaotian to spit out these two places, which can be regarded as acquiescing in handing over these two places to Yu Xiaotian's subordinates, but asked Yu Xiaotian to strictly order his subordinates not to come to these two places, so as not to cause trouble and incur the impeachment of other officials in Shandong, as long as he can do this, he can only occupy it temporarily.
Yu Xiaotian immediately promised that he would never let the remaining subordinates mess around in these two places, as long as someone dared to mess around here, he would not be spared when he received the news, but he also hoped that Zhu Dadian would remind the officials in the nearby state capital and county that they would not come to them to make trouble, and the two sides would definitely be safe.
Zhu Dadian and Yu Xiaotian finally reached an agreement on this matter, and Yu Xiaotian was satisfied and led the crowd back to Fujian.
It is said that there are only two places in Zhifuwan Qishan and Fushan, but Zhu Dadian is not clear that the subordinates sent by Yu Xiaotian now have penetrated deep into the ground of the entire Denglai state capitals and counties, and are taking root in various places with their strong economic strength and force in the localities, rapidly rising among the local people, and becoming a new force in the local squire group outside the local gentry group that has been heavily damaged and attacked after the rebellion, and will form an absolute influence circle in Denglai in the future.
Important islands in Shandong, such as Yangma Island, Changdao, and Lingshan Island, have long been surnamed Yu Zi and have become Yu Xiaotian's secret sea bases on the northern coast, whether he smuggles northern products to Korea, Japan or even Jiannu in the future, or one day he leads his troops north to attack Jingshi, these places will be the bridgehead he left behind.
In short, Yu Xiaotian led his troops to the north to quell the rebellion this time, and the result was very satisfactory to him, he did everything he wanted to do, and he also reaped a lot of benefits, in the past year or so, in addition to getting back more than 100,000 immigrants from Shandong, he also took the opportunity to get back more than 30,000 immigrants from Liaodong.
In addition, among the immigrants who returned during this period, marriageable women accounted for a large proportion, which can greatly alleviate the problem that the proportion of women on Taiwan Island is too low.
When Yu Xiaotian left, he personally summoned Liu Wei and Wu Shengtian and Li San and others who were sent to Shandong in advance, and praised them in person, and promoted Liu Wei to a major officer, of course, this is only his secret identity, and he will continue to stay in Shandong in the future, responsible for all kinds of affairs of the sea wolves in the entire Shandong area, and even the Northern Task Force of the Navy with more than 20 large and small warships left behind must cooperate with his actions, and he must control it in a certain way.
Liu Wei and Wu Shengtian are equivalent to ascending to the sky in one step, Yu Xiaotian is equivalent to temporarily appointing them as a party leader, the prime minister of various affairs on the northern Shandong side, giving them great power, Wu Shengtian was also promoted to the rank of captain of the army, temporarily commanding the land military forces left by Yu Jiajun in various parts of the north, and even left him a special operations team of about 20 people, specially responsible for doing some dirty work for them here.
And that second lieutenant Li San was awarded the rank of lieutenant, and moved to Zhifu Island to take charge of sitting in Zhifu Bay and Qishansuo and other places, and took care of the defense of Zhifu Bay here, including Changdao, Turtle Island, and Yangma Island on the sea, and he was also in charge of it.
In the next few years, it was these people who made a lot of money in Shandong, completely monopolized the illegal salt trade in most parts of Shandong, and became the first salt lord on the border of Shandong.
Of course, Yu Xiaotian absolutely did not allow them to sell strategic materials such as grain and metals to Jiannu, and only allowed them to sell tea, salt and some light industrial products to Jiannu outside the Guan, and exchanged them for raw mouths, war horses, cattle and sheep, furs, tiger bones, deer antler velvet ginseng and other commodities outside the Guan.
You must know that the current Jiannu is very poor outside the Guan, don't look at him didn't grab Daming's things, but outside the Guanxi is now because of the Xiaoice River era, the temperature is too low, the frost-free period of the year is only more than two months, not even three months, the snow begins to melt in May every year, and the first snow begins to fall in September.
The level of farming outside the customs was not high, and although the land was fertile, there was not much grain at all throughout the year, and basically most of the grain eaten by the Eight Banners of Jiannu had to be resold to them by profiteers in the Guan.
Moreover, Jiannu is not very good at salt, salt also needs to be smuggled from the customs, and they also need tea, especially on the Mongolian side, because the Mongolian tribes fell to Jiannu, and the Ming Dynasty closed the mutual market to the Mongolian tribes, and the Mongolian tribes also need a lot of tea.
So don't look at Jiannu is very rampant, but the gold and silver treasures they snatched from Daming will soon flow back to the hands of profiteers in Daming Shanxi.
In addition to food, Yu Xiaotian allowed these materials to be sold to Jiannu, and instead of letting the Shanxi profiteers make money, it is better for them to take the opportunity to earn some more, get more war horses and materials back, and prepare in advance for the day when he will go north and eliminate this scourge.
Now in the battle of Tongguò Denglai, Yu Xiaotian has thoroughly tested the combat ability of the army under his command, don't look at Jiannu is rampant, but against his army, he will still be beaten all over the ground to find teeth, Jiannu is very powerful on the surface, but as long as they are beaten hard, they will still die, they will be afraid, and they will surrender.
It's just that for the time being, Yu Xiaotian thinks that it has not yet reached the point of killing Jiannu, leaving them to cause chaos for the Ming Dynasty, and always putting heavy pressure on the Ming Dynasty in the north, and the provincial Chongzhen, a relatively capable emperor, was able to breathe, and made every effort to turn over the turtle and revive the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty.
Although he killed the Denglai rebels this time, it did not have a great impact on the overall historical trend, but he just took advantage of the situation to completely block Kong Youde's surrender to Jiannu, and did not let Kong Youde bring the more advanced cannon casting technology to Jiannu first, nor did he let Kong Youde surrender Jiannu After Jiannu, Jiannu quickly had a fleet that could be used along the coast of Liaodong.
This delayed the speed of Jiannu to kill the entire Dongjiang Army on a certain course, but as Yu Xiaotian saw, the Dongjiang Army was actually no longer a threat to Jiannu now, as soon as Mao Wenlong died, the Dongjiang Army fell apart, poured into each other, and fought happily, so that many generals within the Dongjiang Army later surrendered to Jiannu in large numbers and became the vanguard of Jiannu's southern invasion of the pass.
Sooner or later, the Dongjiang Army will still have to fight among themselves, but they can just survive for a while longer, so the situation in the north in the future will not change in a large area because of his northward counterinsurgency this time, and it will deviate from the original historical development trajectory.
Yu Xiaotian led his troops back to Fujian, there was nothing major on the way, but he blackmailed the local government a little along the way, but this time he went back to Fujian, and the court did not particularly let the local government take care of them, so it was not easy for him to extort too many things, but it was better than nothing.
But this time he returned to Fujian, and the wind direction was more favorable, which made him take nearly half the time shorter, and in less than a month, he led his troops back to Weitou Bay.
However, before he returned to Weitou Bay, he first went to Tamsui City to inspect it, Tamsui City has now become a heavy industry base in Yu Xiaotian, and a large number of various factories and workshops have been built, and the chimneys of steel-making blast furnaces are even more towering like forests, and various industrial chimneys have also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
These chimneys are spewing a lot of smoke into the air, so that the air quality here has been affected somewhat, but this is also the only way for the development of industrialization, with their current technology, it is impossible to engage in any pollution-free industry.
Moreover, he needs these industries to provide him with all kinds of advanced weapons, so that he can have stronger strength faster, and after he seizes the Central Plains, these industries will definitely have to move into the inland areas, and at that time, there will be no need to make a miasma on the island of Taiwan.
