Chapter 11 Cooperation Intentions
Yu Xiaotian sneered slightly after hearing this. As far as he knew, the Dutchmen in Penghu were not as easy to deal with as Li Yi and others thought.
In history, Nanjuyi has thought of many ways and tossed around until four years of the apocalypse to force the Dutch who occupied Penghu away. He can't remember exactly when, but he can be sure that after Nan Juyi took office as the governor of Fujian, he mainly focused on dealing with the Dutch.
However, hearing Li Yi's words is also a reminder to Yu Xiaotian. Although he now occupies Nanri Island, and Nanri Island is also relatively large, which can meet his needs at this stage, for him, since he has done this industry, he does not intend to stop here. Daming has now reached the end, and the Central Plains is about to be in chaos. Bulls such as Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and Gao Yingxiang will soon compete in the Central Plains, and there are also Tatars in the north.
So how he will go to Xiaotian in the future is a very critical period. Even if he does not plan to participate in the competition in the Central Plains, at least he should consider the issue of self-preservation in the future!
After failing to capture Penghu, the Dutch turned to Taiwan to occupy Taiwan Island, and if he remember correctly, the Spaniards also quickly focused on Taiwan, a feng shui treasure. For him, Taiwan Island is a threshold for stepping over. As long as he continues this industry, he will face this sooner or later. A question.
Yu Xiaotian had considered going to Taiwan to run a base before, but in the past, his strength was too weak, and even if he thought about it, it was useless.
But now the situation has begun to change. At present, he has greatly increased his strength and has considerable subordinates and financial resources, so this matter should be considered.
Through this year, Yu Xiaotian found a very interesting idea from the Ming government and the court. Although Taiwan Island was there, China's previous dynasties did not really include Taiwan Island in the territory of the mainland, but only included the Penghu Islands under the jurisdiction of the mainland.
Although the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has many mediocre people, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has one advantage, that is, he is not weak about the territory, which is stronger than the Song Dynasty. The emperor's defense of the country was inherited by the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, regardless of whether Chongzhen thought about moving the capital to the south later. But in the end, Emperor Chongzhen stayed in Beijing and did his last part.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty paid more attention to the issue of territory from top to bottom. Obviously, the Dutch did not see this clearly and wanted to get a place from the existing territory of the Ming Dynasty as their colony. This is obviously a miscalculation. This is also the same after their occupation of Penghu, the imperial court, Liangguang and Fujian Officials have always refused to compromise on the reason why they must leave Penghu.
Because neither the current emperor nor local officials dares to bear the responsibility of losing the land, which is also the reason why the court replaced the governor of Fujian.
However, Taiwan Island, which is still an enclave for the time being, is not the object of attention of the Ming Dynasty. The officials of the Ming Dynasty are very realistic. They just want to keep the existing territory and be content to give the court an explanation. They have never paid attention to Taiwan Island.
This also set the groundwork for the Dutch and Spaniards to occupy Taiwan Island and colonize Taiwan Island in the future. The Dutch obviously saw this in the Penghu Islands and were instructed by some Chinese sea merchants. Then they moved to Tainan and operated the famous Relanzha City. The Ming Dynasty immediately regarded them as if they didn't see what they did and no longer care about them.
If it hadn't been for the fact that Zheng Chenggong was forced to find a stable rear base to compete with the Manqing Taran, it is estimated that Taiwan Island may not be included in the Chinese territory by future generations!
So if Yu Xiaotian wants to make a big deal in the future, he can't bypass this obstacle. Taiwan Island is a place to take it sooner or later, and the sooner the better.
Yu Xiaotian began to move in his heart and unconsciously forgot to talk to Li Yi. Li Yi sat aside and looked at Yu Xiaotian a little distracted. After waiting for a while, he asked awkwardly, "Yu Danger, is there any other plans? At present, after all, Lord Nan has just come to take office. From what I can see, it is better to sell his face more or less. Don't make too much noise in this area recently!"
After hearing Li Yi's words, Yu Xiaotian quickly withdrew his thoughts. After a sound, he quickly shook his head and said, "Of course, of course!" Ha ha! I just remembered something and was distracted! I'm sorry! Manager Li's words are very reasonable. Please rest assured. As long as others don't come to trouble me in the near future, I won't make too much trouble easily! And I'm busy now, and I will restrain my brothers and try not to make too much noise!"
Li Yi was relieved after hearing this. After all, he knows more about the official affairs in Fujian. Now Yu Xiaotian has made such a big deal, which is already at the forefront, and Nanjuyi has just arrived and is also doing his best to deal with the affairs of red-haired people. As Yu Xiaotian's collaborator, His interests will be tightly tied to Yu Xiaotian in the future, so at this time, he does not want Yu Xiaotian to make too much noise and attract a blow from the government.
And Yu Xiaotian now stated that he would not make too much noise at this time, which met his interests. In this way, he was much more relieved.
The two sat at the table and chatted for a long time. Yu Xiaotian took this opportunity to inquire about a lot about the land from Li Yi and learned that the luxury chaos in Yunnan and Sichuan had not been completely calmed down, and even the new governor of Guizhou, Wang Sanshan, died at the hands of the chaos.
At the beginning of the year, Jiangsu and Zhejiang and Nanzhili were hit by a big earthquake, and more than a dozen state governments were affected, resulting in the displacement of many refugees. In addition, the government's poor relief. Recently, many refugees from Jiangsu and Zhejiang began to go south and once again poured into Fujian.
In short, three years after the Apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty has not been stable, and even a big earthquake occurred in the Gyeonggi area. At least it is slightly lighter than the earthquake in Nanzhili. Li Yi is not clear about the specific situation, but there is now news from the capital that Wei Zhongxian, the emperor's new favorite eunuch, has been more and more recently. The more powerful he is, the more he makes many officials act according to his face. I don't know what will happen if such eunuchs engage in politics.
After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian laughed and said, "This Wei Zhongxian is not yet the best time, and you will know his power in the future!" Yu wants to remind Manager Li. In the future, don't mention this Wei Zhongxian easily, let alone speak ill of him, otherwise if you are not careful, you will catch fire!"
Li Yi now can't figure out why Yu Xiaotian knows so much about the capital. Judging from his previous judgment that Nan Juyi is going to take over as Fujian governor, Li Yi has always suspected that Yu Xiaotian may have something to do with the people in Beijing. Now that Yu Xiaotian says so, he is not surprised. He feels that Yu Xiaotian The words should be credible, so he nodded quickly and said yes, and there was some vigilance in his heart.
In fact, Yu Xiaotian has not paid much attention to the situation of the Ming Dynasty so far, because he is very clear about the direction of history. The Apocalypse Emperor is a complete faint king and does not know how to govern the country at all. During his administration, he was most concerned about carpentry, and Wei Zhongxian and Keshi trusted Wei Zhongxian tossed the Ming Dynasty with black smoke and miasma, which consumed the last qi and blood of the Ming Dynasty, so that after Chongzhen took over as Emperor Daming, he was basically unable to return to heaven.
At present, he is just a small pirate head. Although he looked at Daming's huge car sliding towards destruction with strong inertia, he had no way to pull the rotten huge car and could only watch him continue to rush forward with great inertia.
And the only thing he can do is to strengthen himself as much as possible before the huge car falls into the abyss. If possible, he hopes that he will at least have the ability to protect himself. In short, let him shave the head of a rat's tail in the future. He won't do it. He is not interested in the bastards done by the Tatars. The account goes as a slave.
So at present, his top priority is to turn a deaf ear to things outside the window and strengthen himself first. Now he has occupied Nanri Island and his strength has greatly increased, but looking at the whole southern coast, his strength is nothing for the time being. There are many stronger than his strong counterparts in the Liangguang coast of Fujian, a little less. Shen, he may also be beaten back to his original form.
In the past, he was incapable, but now he has done some things. In fact, pirates can't only fight and kill at sea. In this era, the real pirates are actually some sea merchants.
Yu Xiaotian has a clear understanding of this point for a long time, and now it is finally time for him to put it into action.
So Yu Xiaotian and Li Yi discussed that the two families partnered in the name of the Li family and opened a shop in Fuzhou to sell some specialties in the Nanyang area. At the same time, through this business, some specialties on land will be transferred to Manila or mud and other places for sale in the future.
Yu Xiaotian was also helpless to choose Li Yi as his partner. His identity is now a pirate. At the beginning, he killed Jiang Baihu in Funing Prefecture, making him a wanted criminal in the Ming Dynasty, so he should not appear on land, and at present, there are no suitable people under him to come forward for him and go to the land. Zhao Mazi is the most suitable person to run a business name.
However, after Zhao Mazi went to Guangzhou, there is still no message, and I don't know what happened. Yu Xiaotian has planned to arrange someone to go to Guangzhou to investigate Zhao Mazi's whereabouts.
Now what he lacks most is his more knowledgeable men to support this facade and take care of his business, so he can only borrow a boat to go to sea and cooperate with Li Yi for the time being to start this business first. After training or recruiting some suitable people through this business, he will seek It's not too late to do these businesses by yourself.
Li Yi suddenly hesitated about the idea of cooperation put forward by Yu Xiaotian, because his family also does such a business. Although there are still many businessmen like him in Fujian, and his financial resources are not very strong, but after all, he has the final say. Once he cooperates with Yu Xiaotian Then in the future, his business will let Yu Xiaotian intervene, and naturally his freedom will not be greater than before.
So as soon as Yu Xiaotian put forward this idea, Li Yi became a little hesitant.
"Isn't Shopkeeper Li reluctant to do this business with me?" Yu Xiaotian looked at Li Yi with a smile and asked.
Li Yi quickly shook his head awkwardly and said, "How dare you! It is an honor that the head of the family is willing to partner with him! But there are also difficulties! After all, he has taken care of a lot of business for the time being. If he opens such a business with the head of Yu, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Li to spare enough energy to manage this business! So..." Li Yi stopped talking.
Yu Xiaotian immediately understood Li Yi's idea, so he laughed and said, "That's right! In this case, Yu will not force Mr. Li! This matter can be put aside for the time being, and it's not too late to talk about it later!
Today, Mr. Li can come here. Yu is really grateful to Mr. Li. Come on, let's have a drink! At present, the conditions here are limited and the hospitality is not good. I hope Manager Li doesn't mind..."
(Today, I especially thank the two friends of the wandering Jiangnan and future 02 for their rewards! Thank you very much! Let's not talk about this month. Let's take a look at my daughter's situation next month and try to restore the update to two updates a day from next month! It's not easy to be a father! You have to coax your child until the middle of the night! What a drowsiness! Ha ha!)
