Fortunately, Yu Xiaotian set up a team of overseers directly under his direct jurisdiction in the army, and these overseers were actually the gendarmerie of later countries, which were named pickets in the name of pickets in the Celestial Empire, and had extremely high power, mainly responsible for picketing military discipline.

These overseers were organized in small teams, scattered in various garrison bases, and acted with the army, mainly responsible for supervising and picketing the violations of military discipline by the soldiers.

Often, when these navy and army soldiers were about to fight, they would immediately rush to the place where the accident occurred, beat a group of troublemakers with rattan sticks, and then dragged them back to confinement.

The confinement room is also very interesting, the confinement room is less than four feet high, less than two feet wide, and no more than four feet long, it is simply a small cage, after the soldiers are locked in, they can't stand up straight, they can't stretch their legs, they eat, drink and Lazar in such a cramped small space, and no one can speak, only someone delivers them food on time every day, pulls the toilet out and dumps it.

But all the guys who have been locked up in the confinement room all mention the experience of the past few days, and everyone shuddered, saying that they didn't want to experience the feeling of being locked up in the confinement room anymore.

Fortunately, the navy and the army have strict orders, it is okay to fight, but only with fists, if anyone dares to use a knife or a musket, then they will be immediately driven out of the army, at least sent to a hard labor camp to do hard labor, or at worst if they cause casualties to the other side, they may even be dragged out and hanged on the spot.

So don't look at the friction between the two armies in peacetime, and fights happen from time to time, but basically there has never been a case where someone uses a knife or a gun, causing Yan zhòng casualties, but every time the fight is fought, both sides are beaten by the other side like a pig's head, and even fractures do not happen much.

Yu Xiaotian didn't interfere much with these brawls between the two branches of the military, and this kind of conflict and friction between the branches of the military was normal in his opinion, which fully showed that the generals of the two branches of the military have a deep identity with themselves, and they have their own sense of honor for the military branch they are in, and they are willing to take the initiative to maintain the glory of their own military branches.

If no one cares about the glory and future of their own branches of the armed forces, then it is a very terrible thing, which means that these guys have completely lost their enterprising spirit, which is absolutely not a good thing for army building.

As long as these guys don't tear each other down at a critical time, then for this kind of petty fight, he encourages him, but he usually doesn't say it, but if anyone dares to maintain their prejudices against each other and not cooperate according to orders when they take important actions, then I'm sorry, as long as they are verified, they will be punished heavily!

But in the tenth year of Chongzhen, the Yu family army did not do nothing, at the beginning of the tenth year of Chongzhen, the slave chief Emperor Taiji sent troops to attack North Korea, Lian Keyizhou, Anzhou and other places, and approached the capital of North Korea, Pyongyang, the king of North Korea fled out of the city with the prince, and sent people to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty.

Now the Ming can't take care of himself, where can he take care of this vassal country! But if you don't care, it is too chilling for the Koreans, the court argued for a while, and then decided to send troops to rescue the Koreans, but before they could transfer their troops and boats, the Korean king was forced to announce his surrender, and it was not until April that the Ming court received news.

North Korea's surrender to Jiannu is undoubtedly a blow to the Ming Dynasty, because North Korea was a subject country of the Ming Dynasty before, although the North Korean army is definitely a scumbag of the war, and it does not pose much threat to Jiannu at all, but it can be regarded as a friend of the Ming Dynasty, and it can cause a little pressure on Jiannu behind it, so that Jiannu has to be careful to take precautions.

But now North Korea was defeated by Jiannu and surrendered Jiannu, which is undoubtedly a very bad news for the Ming Dynasty, in addition, the surrender of North Korea also made Dongjiang Town more isolated, when Mao Wenlong led the troops to lay down the territory of Dongjiang Town, because of the supply difficulties of the Ming Dynasty, it was not enough at all, so the Dongjiang Army would run to blackmail the Koreans and obtain some food and materials from North Korea.

But after Mao Wenlong's death, the Dongjiang Army has long been divided into a mess, and now these Dongjiang troops are not thinking about how to go against Jiannu all day long, but thinking about how to deal with their own people every day, killing and killing all day long, and now they have no threat to Jiannu.

However, the survival of the Dongjiang Army, after all, still caused some trouble to Jiannu, and it was always a nail on Jiannu's back, making it difficult for Jiannu to sleep and eat.

Now that North Korea has announced its surrender to Jiannu, it will completely stand on the opposite side of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and it will never be possible to provide any help to the Dongjiang Army, and the situation of the Dongjiang Army will probably be in great trouble next.

The news reached Fujian, after Yu Xiaotian learned about it, he tacitly calculated, North Korea surrendered to Jiannu, he knew about it, but he couldn't remember the time before, so he didn't know when Jiannu forced North Korea to surrender, and now after the news was confirmed, he immediately ordered that the Jeju Island garrison announced the full takeover of Jeju Island, and stripped Jeju Island from the Joseon Dynasty and officially became his jurisdiction.

In addition, the Jeju Island Garrison Army, with the assistance of the navy, transferred two infantry battalions and an artillery company to immediately send troops to Fort Arthur to capture Arthur.

Now that North Korea has fallen, even if Jiannu does not get the surrender of Kong Youde's rebels, but with their current strength, they will immediately attack Dongjiang Town, and the destruction of the Dongjiang army will be in an instant, maybe it will not last until the end of the tenth year of Chongzhen.

At present, the sea wolf has not officially gained a foothold in Liaodong, and this problem is a big trouble for Yu Xiaotian to counterattack the old nest of Jiannu in the future.

Once the entire Liaodong Peninsula is controlled by Jiannu, it will be more difficult for Yu Xiaotian to obtain a base from the sea to Liaodong in the future, and it is estimated that he will pay a certain price, and because the infrastructure is not in place, it will affect the speed of the landing of troops.

Therefore, he had long considered that at the right time and opportunity, he would first seize a foothold on the Liaodong Peninsula.

And this foothold Yu Xiaotian finally chose Port Arthur, which itself is one of the most important natural harbors in the north, and it is also the only ice-free port on the Liaodong Peninsula at present.

Even if the entire north is currently in the Xiaoice period, the winter temperature is very low, and the frost-free period is very short, but after several years of reconnaissance of the Liaodong Peninsula by sea wolf personnel, it is found that the sea water in Lushun Port only has a freezing period of ten days a year, and the ice thickness is limited, which will not affect the entry and exit of large ships in and out of Lushun Port.

Moreover, outside the port of Port Arthur, due to the influence of ocean currents, there will be no large-scale ice, and in the coldest time of winter, some large and sturdy ships can still enter and exit Port Arthur relatively safely.

So if he wants to gain a good foothold in Liaodong, then he must take Fort Arthur down and control Port Arthur in his hands.

So he brazenly launched a military operation to attack Port Arthur, of course, this military operation, he will not use the name of the family army, after all, he has not yet rebelled, nominally the Ming Dynasty, and Lushun is currently the jurisdiction of Dongjiang Town, if he let his soldiers directly fight in his name, it will be equivalent to officially tearing up the face with the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, when he ordered the capture of Fort Arthur, he ordered the navy and the army to send troops to capture Fort Arthur in the name of a group of pirates who called themselves Nine-Headed Jiao, who were currently active more in the north, and the banner was also the banner of Nine-Headed Jiao.

But this group of nine-headed Jiao itself is a smokescreen bomb released by the sea wolf in the Northern Sea, in fact, it is still subordinate to the Northern Fleet under the family army, but it is usually at sea, operating in the name of the nine-headed Jiao, and the entire Northern Fleet is currently operating in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, and it often uses the banner of the nine-headed Jiao to cover up their true identity.

After the order was issued, the Northern Fleet and the army stationed on Jeju Island immediately went into action, and at the best weather in August, the Northern Fleet sent more than 30 large ships to Jeju Island to pick up the army units involved in the operation and sail to Fort Arthur.

Garrisoned in Lushun is the heavy general of the Dongjiang Army, but also a big celebrity in later generations Shang Kexi, Shang Kexi was originally a heavy general under Mao Wenlong, but after Mao Wenlong's death, Shang Kexi was very unsatisfactory in Dongjiang Town, it turned out that he was nominally the deputy general of Guangludao, and later had a gap with Huanglong, Shen Shikui and others, and did a very unhappy job in Dongjiang Town, and was finally excluded to Fort Lushun.

In the original history, Shang Kexi also participated in the suppression of Kong Youde's rebellion, and was considered a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, but because of the internal division of the Dongjiang Army, Shen Shikui tried to trick Shang Kexi to Phi Dao to kill him, but Shang Kexi found out the news in advance, so in the end, he also led Shang Kexi to go nowhere, took refuge in Jiannu, and became a traitor.

But history is history, Kong Youde's rebellion was finally pacified by Yu Xiaotian in this time and space, and Kong Youde and other rebels were blocked on the island, all of them were captured, which changed the course of historical development.

And those old subordinates of Kong Youde, after selection, some of them were eliminated and sent to become farmers, and some of them were sent to Jeju Island and incorporated into the Yu family's army, and after brainwashing, they became Yu Xiaotian's subordinates.

This change in events also made Shang Kexi's fate change, he did not surrender to Jiannu in the seventh year of Chongzhen, but has been depressed to stay in Fort Arthur, as his deputy commander of Lushun.

Shen Shikui was not able to kill him, in the past few years, Fort Arthur has almost become an isolated city in Dongjiang Town, and Shang Kexi led thousands of soldiers and civilians to survive in the hard-pressed Fort Arthur.
