Chapter 179: Evacuation

As Yu Xiaotian's orders were issued one after another, the sea wolf tribes present hurried out one by one to receive the order, but when Yu Xiaotian's order to demolish Dazhai was issued, it still made everyone feel very unacceptable.

This time, after three months of continuous adjustment, the battle plan has undergone a major change from the original plan set by Yu Xiaotian.

When he first learned that the government wanted to use troops against Nanri Island, Yu Xiaotian originally wanted to use the method of dealing with Chu Cailao to deal with the official army, but in the past three months, after continuous discussion and consideration, this battle plan was completely overturned.

The reason is that they have already used such a method once, although the officers and soldiers are very incompetent in their eyes, but they must not help but prevent them from still having a lot of capable people, and someone should be able to think of this problem, so if you want to use this old method to deal with the officers and soldiers, I am afraid it is not so simple.

So after repeated consideration and discussion, Yu Xiaotian finally gritted his teeth and decided to temporarily give up Nanri Island, including Nanri Island Dazhai and various workshops, all of them were abandoned, no longer make any reservations, and then put them to death, let the officials and soldiers taste some sweetness first, anyway, after Nanri Island was gradually improved in Tamsui City, the importance of Nanri Island to the sea wolf was far less important than before.

Moreover, the restrictions of various conditions on Nanri Island itself are not suitable for continuing to be used as their old camp, which used to seem to be quite small, but now it seems that the pattern is too small.

There are several islands that are more suitable than Nanri Island in Fujian, and the conditions are better than Nanri Island, so the value of the facilities on Nanri Island is not high, and the biggest value of Nanri Island at present, I am afraid that even if it is the farmland that has been reclaimed on the island, most of these farmlands have become ripe fields after several years of cultivation, and the yield has gradually stabilized.

However, fortunately, it has now entered the winter, the autumn grain has been harvested, and most of the fields have not yet been planted with new grain, so the temporary abandonment will not affect the spring sowing next year.

So in the end, Yu Xiaotian decided to temporarily abandon Nanri Island as a whole, and use Nanri Island as a bait and throw it to the government first.

When this decision was informed to the Sea Wolf Tribe, the Sea Wolf was very reluctant to do so, after all, Nanri Island was where they started, and they have been operating here for several years, making Nanri Island from a desolate scene before, to such a thriving scene now, and suddenly Yu Xiaotian wanted to give up here, and everyone felt that it was too much of a pity.

At first, many people were quite resistant to this decision, and many people raised objections, especially the people in the council hall, who were even more reluctant to give up here, because they had invested too much manpower, material and financial resources to build this Dazhai, and there were still a large number of warehouses and houses in the village, and there were also a large number of workshops in the workshop area.

But after Yu Xiaotian made up his mind, it was not changeable, he repeatedly explained the reason to his subordinates, telling them to give up now for the greater good, although Nanri Island Dazhai was destroyed, but their foundation is still there, after this battle, they will get greater benefits.

Even if it's fishing, at least you have to hang some bait, if you can't even give up this, then what big can they do with sea wolves?

After a lot of such guidance, the sea wolf finally unified his thoughts, and no longer thought about it, so when Yu Xiaotian gave the order today, although many people still showed a reluctant look on their faces, they still immediately received the order without anyone objecting.

With Yu Xiaotian's order issued, the entire Nanri Island seemed to be boiling, and the workshop area, which had been full of people all along, suddenly stopped the sound of striking iron, although it was still very lively, but it became a dismantling equipment.

These workers in the workshop area have been working here for a long time, although they are not free to work on Nanri Island, they cannot go out without permission, and they are confined to it, but the quality of life here is much better than the quality of life they used to have on land.

Although it is very tiring to work here, it makes them live a good life, warm clothes, full food, good housing, and their income is quite satisfactory.

The sea wolves have never deducted their wages, and their families are here, some of them are still on land, and the sea wolves will send someone to send their wages to their families on land every month, at least so that their families can have no worries about food and clothing.

In this world, what more can they ask for if these lowly craftsmen can live such a life?

After working here for a while, the craftsmen have already accumulated a deep affection for this place, and now suddenly the sea wolf wants to demolish this place and close the workshop, which makes many craftsmen feel both uneasy and reluctant.

Fortunately, the Seawolf's personnel informed them that although the place was temporarily closed, during the shutdown, their wages would be paid correctly, and they should be rested, and the Seawolf would not leave them alone, and the workshop would not take long to reopen, and they could still continue to work for the Seawolf at that time.

In this way, the craftsmen felt much better, and immediately began to disassemble the various tools and simple machinery in the workshop under the leadership of the steward.

The merchant fleet of the sea wolf has been prepared at this time, in order to ensure the capacity, they also transferred a number of large ships from Yan Siqi and Chu Cailao to use as cargo ships, Yan Siqi and Chu Cai Lao did not dare to say no, because they have already seen the power of the sea wolf, although this time the government movement is not small, but they do not believe that the sea wolf will lose to the official army, as long as the sea wolf does not fall, then they will rely on the snort of filial piety in the future.

Now the sea wolf did not force them to help the sea wolf to work against the officials and soldiers, but only asked them to send large ships to help transfer the goods, so how could they not do it, so they all sent a group of ships over to help the sea wolf transfer all kinds of materials.

Therefore, within a few days, a large number of boats were gathered on the shore of Nanri Island, and all kinds of people and materials were loaded onto various boats through the guò trestle or temporary floating trestle, or even through guò small boats, and sailed away from Nanri Island and headed towards various resettlement sites.

The thousands of immigrants on Nanri Island knew that something might not be good this time, because the last time Chu Cai's boss came to attack, the sea wolf had not given up Nanri Island, but this time the sea wolf didn't even want their big village, which is probably not ready to defend Nanri Island anymore.

And what kind of virtues the officials and soldiers are, these ordinary people are very clear, when the officers and soldiers are suppressing bandits, they are actually worse than bandits, they can't fight, the level of killing good and risking merit is very high, it is estimated that once they go to the island, they will definitely be ruthless to the people on the island, they can't catch many sea wolf troops, they will definitely kill the people and exchange the heads of the people for rewards.

In addition, they robbed the people, and there was no negotiation, even if they stayed and didn't leave, I was afraid that they would be harmed by the officials and soldiers, the sea wolf now gave them the opportunity to choose, and then settled in Tamsui City, over the years, they have already understood the temper of the sea wolf's boss Yu Xiaotian, as long as they don't go against the sea wolf, the sea wolf still loves the people as a whole.

Although the grain they grow also has to pay three percent of the land to the sea wolf, it seems that this kind of field tax is really not low, much higher than the field tax collected by the government officials, but the government has additional payments every year, and there are all kinds of miscellaneous items collected in different ways, plus all kinds of fire and silver, in fact, the tax collected by the government is far higher than the field tax collected by the sea wolf.

And the sea wolf collects the field endowment, saying that it is thirty percent, that is, thirty percent, not allowing any miscellaneous items, let alone messy extortion, as for such a thing as drenching and kicking, it never appears, as long as the thirty percent of the field is paid, there will be no other fees.

So down like this, farming for the sea wolves, and in the end, most of the harvest was still left in their hands, and after arriving at Nanri Island, this life is getting better and better, before they used to even buy a new clothes, it was difficult, but now they are basically warmly clothed and fed.

So this time, when the sea wolf decided to give up Nanri Island, most of the people said that they were willing to follow the sea wolf, obey the sea wolf's arrangement, and let them go wherever they wanted.

So many people also packed up their softness, with a reluctant mood began to board the ship under the organization of the militia, only a few people were really reluctant to their fields, insisted on not leaving, these part of the sea wolf did not force it, but asked them to take refuge in the mountains for the time being, and then return to their villages after the limelight passed.

As a result, a large-scale retreat tide was formed on Nanri Island, and every day from dawn to dark, a large number of materials and personnel were constantly loaded onto ships and transported away from Nanri Island.

Zhu Yifeng also soon learned the news of the sea wolf's large number of evacuation from Nanri Island, and he couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved, what he was most afraid of was that the sea wolf didn't know what to do, and he was defending Nanri Island, and where was the strength of the sea wolf, with a large number of warships, good combat power, and a lot of artillery.

If the sea wolf does not retreat from Nanri Island, then the official army must storm Nanri Island, and now with the assistance of the red-haired people, although he still has a certain degree of certainty that he can defeat the sea wolf, but he is only afraid that the loss will be too great, and in the end, although he can recover Nanri Island, but if the loss is too great, it will not end well.
