Blood from Daming

Chapter 513 Retreat
Since Xue Yun led the army to attack the Dutch in Taiwan, many houses have been vacated in Changtu Island. Yan Sanniang allocated houses to the fishermen on the island according to the previous agreement. However, Xue Jiajun continued to pay high rents to rent a house.

In mid-October, the Liaodong Xuejia Army supply fleet composed of the remaining merchant ships from Manchuria, after completing the replenishment of Xue Polu's troops, transported the Liao people stranded in North Korea to Changtu Island on a large scale. A merchant ship loaded with nearly [-] Liao people sailed against the wind and sailed into Changtu Island, the base of Xue's army, after several days and nights.

This time, as the person in charge of the Xue Family Army in Liaodong, came with the boat, Qiao Guoliang, the leader of Datong Diving Guards, and Mr. Chu Yi, a senior staff member hired by Xue Polu. After a long time, Yan Sanniang immediately had a long talk with Chu Yi. After listening to Chu Yi's judgment on the world's major events, Yan Sanniang felt that Chu Yi was indeed a well-known man with a reputation.

Immediately appointed Chu Yi as the copywriter of Changtu Island, and assigned a North Korean woman to take care of Chu Yi's daily life. Although Chu Yi accepted Yan Sanniang's job as Changtu Island's copywriter, he felt disapproving of this humble clerical position. However, since Chu Yi believed that Xue Polu was an immortal general, and his master Xue Yun was a dragon and phoenix among men, it was not easy for him to compete with Yan Sanniang for a position with a shorter one.

Chu Yi was going to impress the senior officials of the Xue family with his ability, but he didn't know that the job of the copywriter of the small Changtu Island covered news from Liaodong, Beijing, Datong, Hangzhou, Cangzhou, and Taiwan officials, so Chu Yi knew In the shadow of the Ming Dynasty, there is also a powerful underground kingdom.

Chu Yi had to deal with the copywriting for three days before he barely had some spare time to get a message. Chu Yi secretly thought that he could only contact the general information of Xue Jiajun, and the information contained in it made Chu Yi extremely shocked. I felt Xue Polu and Yan Sanniang's trust in me.

After three days of work, Chu Yi learned that the Xue family army basically had no decent civilian staff, and that his current position was actually a position in the imperial cabinet. If General Xue Yun occupied Taiwan Island, he would open a government office and set up a government office. He must also be a cabinet minister. If General Xue Yun's ambition is in the Central Plains, I am afraid that his former Governor Dong Weng Yu will find it difficult to accept himself as a staff member in the new dynasty.

From then on, Chu Yi was very grateful to Yan Sanniang, and I, Xue Jiajun, suggested to do things. After analyzing the situation of Changtu Island, Chu Yi thought that Changtu Island needed to be strengthened for defense, so he proposed to Yan Sanniang that the Xue family in Liaodong should be taken away as soon as possible. The soldiers retreated to Changtu Island. Yan Sanniang accepted Chu Yi's suggestion and ordered the rest of Xue's army navy and the Manchu Canadian fleet to form a joint fleet, and Qiao Guoliang went to North Korea to carry out the task of evacuating Xue's army from Liaodong.

According to Chu Yi's understanding, there are still more than 5000 Liao people staying in North Korea. Most of these Liao people are unwilling to come to Changtu Island in the south. There were a lot of horses in the army, and the large-scale sea evacuation organized by Yan Sanniang required at least two trips to completely evacuate the Xue family army in North Korea.

Yan Sanniang has been busy with the resettlement of the Liao people for the past few days. The five thousand Liao people are generally more docile, as long as there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, although a very small number of Liao people complained, through Yan Sanniang's The island's grassroots forces quickly resolved those contradictions. As for the particularly excessive demands, Yan Sanniang would not open the back door for a very small number of people, but only vigorously promoted the benefits of Taiwan Island through the Baojia organization on Changtu Island. The land in Taiwan Island is fertile and full of fish and grain. Every family has a large tile-roofed house with green bricks, and each person has dozens of acres of good land. Everyone can live a life of wives and children.

Only then did these Liao people know that their foothold was in the sea. Although Xue Jiajun's words were hype, many Liao people repented. Fortunately, Changtu Island is an isolated island, and these people can't do anything more than complain. What happened, but out of confidentiality considerations, Yan Sanniang asked Lou San to strengthen the inspection of the Siamese and passing ships along the coast of Changtu Island, strictly preventing a Liao citizen from smuggling and escaping. Taiwan Island Secret.

Chu Yi learned that some Liao people were dissatisfied, and most Liao people had nothing to do at home. Chu Yi suggested to Yan Sanniang that the time for these Liao people to go to Taiwan could not be fixed. Organize and train them into local armed forces, or arrange to go to the wharf or shipyard to work as handymen. First, it can save these Liao people from eating idle food. Second, it can help the Xue family army to train reserve soldiers and skilled workers. At the same time, it can also let these Liao people understand that the Xue family army is not lazy People, if they refuse to do things, they have no reason to eat.

Yan Sanniang was very satisfied with Chu Yi's suggestion and asked Chu Yi to do it. After discussing with Lou San, Uncle Lu, and Uncle Wu, Chu Yi divided up all the light and strong labor of the Liao people, and there were only a few women and children left in the family. A man is exhausted after a day, and he has more than enough energy to deal with his own wife, so how can he have any free time to play with those crooked thoughts.

However, Lou San is a very sinister person. Changtu islands, big and small, are loose inside and tight outside. Although the pier of Changtu island is very strict during the day, they are very careless at night. Therefore, some bold Liao people found this opportunity and began to smuggle to land alone or with their families on the merchant ships from Changtu Island to Hangzhou City.

When North Korea’s second batch of fleets transporting Xue Jiajun and Liao people returned, a total of 20 people were smuggled in over 160 days, of which 140 people were smuggled through the pier. The disposition list that San reported to Yan Sanniang is exactly the same, and these relatives and friends who smuggled into Liaomin have already been blacklisted in Lou San's secret file, which will affect the Liaomin and their families who are on the blacklist. Survival and development within the Xue Family Army system in the future.

Because Yan Sanniang is developing well in Hangzhou, Pan Ruzhen, the chief minister of Zhejiang, acts as a protective umbrella. In the middle, Mr. Cao, the chief minister, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Xu, the prefect of Hangzhou, and other officials cover up. With the cooperation of the head of the Xianlou Zhang family and the Xue family's manpower scattered around Hangzhou, Yan Sanniang handles the affairs of Hangzhou very well.

The grain cargoes transferred by Shopkeeper Chen and Patriarch Zhang completely overwhelmed the warehouse on Changtu Island. Yan Sanniang had to send another fleet of grain supplies to Xue Yun, who was far away in Taiwan. When Yun bought and wooed Taiwanese natives, he had sufficient material guarantees, and he was more comfortable handling various practical affairs.

Just after the first ten days of November, the fleet that transported the second batch of Xue Jiajun and Liao people from North Korea returned. This time, the number of Liao people who arrived was less than 2000, and the fleet that doubled in size brought back a large number of horses, as well as Rao Guoying. , Zhang Sanzhu's team, Rao Guoying brought the officers and soldiers of the headquarters to escort the whole fleet of horses, but Zhang Sanzhu thought that Xue Polu was in the way of him in North Korea, so he sent him back in advance.

Rao Guoying made a report to Yan Sanniang and Mr. Chu Yi that day. Yan Sanniang's position is absolutely obedient to Rao Guoying. He used to think that Miss Yu would be the mistress when he was in college, and Rao Guoying would fight side by side under Miss Yu. However, the other mistress, Harijula, is also very kind to herself. Who said that she was born as a soldier of the young master.

It's a pity that Miss Yu is still unmarried to Yunying, and Hari Zhula is a foreigner. Seeing Yan Sanniang's power over Xue's family, Rao Guoying secretly warned herself, don't pick sides among the empresses, and there is nothing wrong with following the young master; Mr. Chu Yi When he was in North Korea, Uncle Xue treated him like a gentleman, so Chu Yi could be regarded as Rao Guoying's boss.

Rao Guoying said: "Madam, sir, there are still about 5000 Liaodong Army officers and soldiers left in North Korea, including less than 1000 horse infantry, and more than 100 sailors and more than [-] large and small warships. Except for the few large ships and the North Korean ghost ship, the rest of the large and small ships and the Liao people, including the remaining supplies, are all left to Mr. Mao in Dongjiang Town."

Yan Sanniang said: "My husband's arrangement is also to give the manpower and materials left in North Korea a better place to go. What's going on with Mr. Zhang Qian?"

Rao Guoying replied: "Ma'am, Mr. Zhang Qian thought that Mr. Wang Ping and Wang Qian were alone after Mr. Tao wanted Mr. Fu Qian to take up the post of Mr. Qian of the Navy. The subdued Niu San and Ma Tao's units were merged, filling the gap left by Mr. Tao Qian who took away the troops from the headquarters. This formed a situation where Mr. Wang Qian, Niu San and Ma Tao jointly restrained Zhang Sanzhu, and Zhang Sanzhu's own position was always sitting. It's not right, they keep making troubles with personnel, weapons, and materials, and they also condone their officers and soldiers to rob in North Korea. Recently, it was reported that Mr. Zhang Qian had close relations with Mr. Mao's subordinates in Dongjiang Town, which prompted Uncle Xue to send Zhang Qian's headquarters ahead of schedule. Send it back to the country and listen to the young master and madam's disposal."

Yan Sanniang nodded and said, "I will talk to Mr. Zhang Qian later. Is there any news from North Korea?"

Rao Guoying said: "Except for the fact that the North Korean army is on stricter guard against our Xue family army, the Liaodong side has basically cut off contact with us. A lot of news was learned through Dongjiang Town. There is news that Huang Taiji, the leader of Jianlu Zhengbai Banner, won the throne and became the new Great Khan of the Later Jin Kingdom, but the accuracy of the news is still being verified.”

Yan Sanniang secretly thought that Huang Taiji's victory in the position of Great Khan was already in her husband's calculations, but it was a pity that the court did not use Xue's army, which ruined her husband's achievements for several years. Huang Taiji's ascension to the throne is probably the worst result for the Ming court. Since then, there have been more incidents in the court of Ming Dynasty, and the people of Ming Dynasty have suffered even more.

Yan Sanniang said: "Huang Taiji's victory was expected by Xue's army. This person is cunning and cunning. It seems that Uncle Xue's withdrawal will be accelerated. Isn't North Korea guarding our Xue's army? Now that our Xue's army has left, they will face it alone." A blow to Jianlu."

Then Yan Sanniang discussed with Chu Yi and asked Rao Guoying to assist Lou San in training the militia, strengthen the defense of Changtu Island, and secretly monitor Zhang Qian's headquarters. After Rao Guoying left, Chu Yi discussed with Yan Sanniang about Liaodong After the last batch of members of the Xue family army withdrew, how could these members obey the court's arrangement? Yan Sanniang got the content of Xue Yun's arrangement, but who would have known that what Chu Yi said was more rigorous and proper than Xue Yun's consideration, Yan Sanniang After hearing this, mother immediately asked Chu Yi to do it, and she must make Uncle Xue's men disappear without a trace under the eyes of the court.
