Chapter 155: A lot of money

"You know what? This is too blessed for the soldiers of the Yu family's army! They eat three times a day! But three times a day! One meal is thin and two dry, the brown rice tube is full, and the multigrain nest can be eaten as much as you want! There are also hot dishes and soups, and by the way, eggs will be eaten, and even dried plums can be eaten!

By the way, I forgot, this soldier of the Yu family's army, can still eat meat every once in a while, and there are meat pieces in this rice, but meat pieces are still there! What a big chunk of meat! Bigger than a finger!

Lao Tzu followed and ate a meal, that fragrant! Xiang Lao Tzu almost swallowed his tongue, Lao Tzu never dared to think about it in his life, if he followed General Yu as a soldier, it would be equivalent to falling into the blessed nest!

No wonder this soldier of the Yu family army is so capable of fighting, so willing to work hard, if this is replaced by Lao Tzu, give Lao Tzu such a good thing to eat every day, let alone let Lao Tzu go into battle desperately, even if there is a fire pit in front of him, let Lao Tzu jump, Lao Tzu doesn't even blink an eye!

And you've seen it too, what are the generals of the Yu family army wearing! It is said that they give out two new sets of clothes every year! When you come to Shandong this time, you have also seen what other officers and soldiers are wearing, what we are wearing, and what are the soldiers of the Yu family wearing to wear it! But they are all thick cotton clothes! Someone scratched his clothes, and they were really filled with white cotton! The cloth is also a serious Songjiang cloth!

I have never seen an official who eats and wears so well for his subordinates to be soldiers! Lao Tzu has never worn such good clothes or eaten such a full meal in his life!

What are we trying to be soldiers, and what are we trying to follow them to rebel? Don't you just want to eat a full meal, and you can dress warmly? But in the end, you also take a look, all the valuable things are taken by the officials, and the beautiful girls let them play rotten first, when will it be our turn?

Let them eat this meat first, we can't even drink the fucking soup, and they will be mixed with fart! Now that we are trapped on this island where birds don't lay eggs, sooner or later we will all starve to death, why should we follow them to death? Brothers, do it! Kill them, let's take refuge in the Yu family army, when the time comes, won't it be better to eat and drink spicy food than to be chased and beaten like a dog now? ……”

Such rumors spread quickly among the rebels, Kong Youde and his subordinate rebels tried to suppress them, but found that things were quickly out of their control, and the soldiers looked at them with bad eyes, if it weren't for the obscenity they usually accumulated, they could still deter these soldiers a little, and it was estimated that these guys would have rushed up and tore them apart.

So now, they also know that they can't do anything, they can't fight, they can't run, they want to persevere, the people below are already unstable, and they may riot at any time, and then they will really die and have no place to be buried.

After thinking about this, Kong Youde no longer dared to slack off, and hurriedly sent people to the beach to wave a white flag to express his acceptance of the conditions, and he was willing to lead his troops to surrender.

Only then did the Yujia army and navy stop firing artillery, and sent an order to Kong Youde, ordering him to order, the whole army to lay down their arms, go to the shore to assemble, all the rebel generals left their men, and together with Kong Youde, they were first taken to the ship, and the rest waited for the next rectification and integration.

Kong Youde had no choice but to order to lay down his arms, and everyone went to the shore to assemble and surrender, and he and his subordinates left the team and went to the temporary dock alone to gather there, and were picked up by the Yu family army in a few small boats and guarded alone, which was equivalent to completely cutting off their contact with their soldiers.

The soldiers would not be able to make big waves without the control of officials, not to mention that now they have long lost their fighting spirit and are honestly waiting for the Yu family army to absorb them.

After separating the generals from the soldiers, the navy sent a group of land forces ashore from the ship to take over the defense of Turtle Island and begin to reorganize the rebel forces on the island.

All the rebels were completely broken up and mixed into new companies, not army companies, of course, but prisoner companies, only a temporary formation.

Then these prisoners were picked up by ships in batches, transported out of Turtle Island, and temporarily transported to Yangma Island or Lingshan Island in the southern sea of Jiaozhou Bay for preliminary quarantine and rectification, and then gradually transferred back to the south by ships.

While obtaining so many prisoners, Yu Jiajun also found thousands of craftsmen from among the prisoners, all of whom were brought to Dengzhou by Sun Yuanhua at the beginning, and most of them were blacksmiths.

These blacksmiths were ordered to start a furnace in Dengzhou City, casting cannons for Sun Yuanhua or making shotguns or armor, all of which are considered skilled workers, and when the rebels fled Dengzhou, they did not forget to forcibly take these craftsmen away together, and now they are all cheaper to Yu Xiaotian.

In addition, the rebels took a large number of gold and silver treasures from the robbery in the past year out of Dengzhou City, and the batch of goods hidden on Long Island in advance had been stolen by Yu Xiaotian, and now this batch is even more numerous, more than 200,000 taels of silver alone, and there are also gold or gold jewelry utensils, which are also thousands of taels, as for jade and agate and other jewelry, they are also huge.

In order to maintain the supply for the next period of time, the rebels still carried a large amount of food when they fled, which was enough for them to eat for two months.

Of course, the rebels also brought a large number of artillery and weapons such as birds, one-eyed guns, and three-eyed guns from Dengzhou City, as well as a large number of knives, guns, weapons and armor, which also became Yu Xiaotian's trophies.

This batch of grain alone can allow Yu Xiaotian to reduce the amount of food that needs to be consumed to feed these guys, in short, this matter is done cleanly, and everything that the rebels brought out of Dengzhou City, except for sinking into the water with the ship, has become Yu Xiaotian's spoils.

With so many gains, it can basically make up for all his consumption in Beishang Shandong this time, and there is even a lot of surplus, which can be said to be really profitable.

With the end of Denglai's counterinsurgency, Yu Xiaotian immediately asked Zhu Dadian to resign and asked to lead his troops back to Fujian.

Originally, Chongzhen did move to leave Yu Xiaotian and the elite soldiers under his command in the north, either to send them outside the customs to deal with Jiannu, or to advance into the Central Plains to suppress those exile troops.

However, at this time, Xiong Wencan sent people to urgently send a copy of the Beijing Division, and Chen asked Emperor Chongzhen to quickly order Yu Xiaotian to return to Fujian.

However, the Liangguang Navy Division was weak and unable to resist a large number of pirates invaded the territory, so Chongzhen was specially invited to return to Fujian in Xiaotian to preside over the sailors to go south to Liangguang to clear the pirates in the Liangguang area, and return the Liangguang Sea to a peaceful place.

After Chongzhen watched the recital, he was secretly surprised in his heart, although the Haikou area was very rampant in the Liangguang area before, but it did not reach such a point, but this time after Xiong Wencan arrived in Liangguang, not only did the Haikou not converge, but became more and more rampant, such a situation is contrary to common sense.

But Xiong Wencan blamed this kind of thing on Yu Xiaotian leading his troops north, so that the Haikou in the Liangguang area thought it was an opportunity, so he dared to be so rampant, implying that Yu Xiaotian was the Dinghai Divine Needle on the southern sea, and the southern coast could not be without Yu Xiaotian in charge, otherwise the Haikou would be lawless.

In addition to Xiong Wencan's report that the two Guangxi pirates were out of control, even Fujian, which had not seen large-scale pirates invade the border for many years, began to report in the past two months after Yu Xiaotian left, that in the coastal areas around Zhangquan, there were signs of pirate activities again, attacking several prefectures, counties, villages and towns along the coast, causing some losses.

Chongzhen combined Xiong Wencan's twists and turns, and also felt that the matter might be because Yu Xiaotian was transferred to the north, so that the pirates in the south thought that no one could suppress them anymore, which led to the pirates being rampant again.

So Chongzhen had to dispel the idea of trying to leave Yu Xiaotian's Fujian soldiers in the north, although Yu Xiaotian's Fujian soldiers are indeed very capable, and the situation in the north is indeed very erosive, but he also heard that Yu Xiaotian's Fujian soldiers are very expensive, and the salaries issued are very high, far from the ordinary officers and soldiers, and there is also a lot of material demand.

Even more up, the south is now the most important financial supply place of the Ming Dynasty, and the ground is still relatively stable, if even the south is chaotic at this time, then the Ming Dynasty will be completely finished.

Therefore, the south really needs such a needle to stabilize the coastal situation, and don't let any more moths on the sea, otherwise the problem will be very strict.

Even if the Fujian soldiers led by Yu Xiaotian are very capable of fighting, but after all, the south also needs him, so Chongzhen thought twice, and it happened that Zhu Dadian also put forward the idea that Yu Xiaotian wanted to lead his troops back to Fujian after quelling the Denglai Rebellion, and Chen asked for permission to Yu Xiaotian's request.

Chongzhen also knows very well that these guest troops will be homesick after coming out for a long time, and now the Fujian soldiers have been in Shandong for more than half a year, and it has been nearly a year since they left home.

Now that the south also needs him, there is no reason to forcibly leave Yu Xiaotian, so Chongzhen privately thinks that he can let Yu Xiaotian lead his troops back first, and if the north needs it, he can be transferred to the north again, after all, Yu Xiaotian has a ship in his hand, and he can easily take the sea route to maneuver north and south.

So Chongzhen agreed to Zhu Dadian and Xiong Wencan's request, and allowed Yu Xiaotian to lead the troops back to Fujian.

After Yu Xiaotian received Chongzhen's approval, he led his subordinates to board the prepared large fleet at Zhifu Bay, and led his troops to set sail on the road back to Fujian.
