However, Chu Cailao obviously did not attach importance to the construction here. The abandoned old camp was only partially restored to the broken barracks, and no solid wall was built. Obviously, Chu Cailao did not regard this place as a place to stay for a long time. If the government came to suppress it, he would definitely abandon it immediately and change to other places. Places to go.
There have been rumors that Chu Cai's old man actually has many nests. Generally, he rarely stays in one place for too long and often changes places, so it is not easy for the government to destroy him. Even if he knows where he is, once he sends troops and sends fewer, Chu Cai is not afraid and can lead his troops to resist stubbornly. If you go there a lot, Mr. Chu Cai will pat his buttocks and leave and let the officers and soldiers fly away.
Therefore, he has been a bandit at sea since Wanli years, and the officers and soldiers have not surrounded him, but they have never really injured his muscles and bones. It is because this cunning rabbit has never been able to find his real nest.
And this time is during the Spring Festival. Even Chu Cai and his men must take advantage of this time to take a rest and prepare to continue to work hard in the coming year.
However, this Spring Festival is not very good for Chu Cailao. At least during this period, his heart always feels blocked.
Speaking of which, he has been across the sea over the years and has always been bullied by him, but he seldom eats, but in the past few months of the New Year, some people have made him realize what it's like to eat.
Since October, several ghost boats have appeared on his territory. These ghost boats did nothing on his territory, but only selected the ship or small fleet of his whereabouts. In less than two months, they killed more than 20 of his boats and killed all the shopkeepers, including himself. There are at least hundreds of people under the jurisdiction.
These ghost ships are specially against him and attack him fiercely. What's more strange is that they are often not just asking for money, but more often more like begging for life. They are extremely ruthless. As long as they catch his ships, they will basically directly destroy the ship and kill people without showing any mercy for his men.
At first, these boats did not attract enough attention from Mr. Chu Cai, thinking that this may only happen occasionally, but when he found that more and more of his ships had been destroyed by these ghost boats and his men were killed, he realized that these ghost ships were specifically aimed at him.
When did Chu Cai always suffer such a loss? What's more, this kind of thing didn't happen outside his territory. They directly killed his territory and did cruelty to him.
Chu Cai was furious about this and vowed to catch these ghost boats with color, find out the identity of the people on these ghost boats, and find out the messenger behind the scenes.
So he summoned his shopkeepers and ordered them to set up several ambush in the large sea area of his territory from north of Chaozhou to south of Quanzhou, so that some larger shopkeepers led some small shopkeepers to gather nearly 100 large boats and countless small boats to try to catch these ghost boats.
And his ambush plan finally worked. The shopkeeper Xiao, who was ordered to set up ambush on Kinmen Island, really attracted these ghost ships and successfully blocked three ghost boats on Kinmen Island.
But what he never expected was that his men gathered dozens of large and small boats on Kinmen Island, including more than 20 fast paddle boats that he thought could restrain the ghost ships. Unexpectedly, they could not finally leave the three ghost boats, but were still by the three ghost boats. He killed more than a dozen large and small ships (mainly fast paddle boats) and suffered more than 100 casualties.
The last three ghost boats ran two, and the last one left behind by these guys was burned out, leaving only a few broken boat boards.
When the news was passed to Mr. Chu Cai, the angry old man Chu Cai cursed the shopkeeper surnamed Xiao on the spot for a day. He scolded him for being refreshing and finally dry. If it hadn't been for the strong strength of the shopkeeper surnamed Xiao, he would have killed the guy.
Mr. Chu Cai knows very well that after this ambush, those ghost boats will not be easily fooled, and the time is approaching the Spring Festival. It is estimated that the two ghost boats will definitely run back to their nest to rest. In a short time, he probably won't find those ghost boats again.
Sure enough, after passing through the events of Kinmen Island, his territory really quieted down, and the haunted ghost boats never appeared again.
Old Chu Cai then sent people everywhere to investigate who the identity of these ghost boats were, and publicly offered a reward of 500 taels of silver to buy these ghost boats. If anyone could tell him who these ghost boats were, he would give him 500 taels of white official silver and would never break his promise.
It's probably that hard work pays off. During the Spring Festival, someone finally sent a message from Fuzhou, saying that a businessman in Fuzhou found out the identity of these ghost ships.
These ghost ships are not others, but ships under the command of sea wolves on Nanri Island in the south of Fuzhou.
After hearing the news, Mr. Chu Cai was immediately furious and didn't care about the Spring Festival. He immediately sent someone to recruit his shopkeepers from all over to Dongshan Island for discussion.
And just as he gathered his men, more and more news began to come, and all the news pointed the ownership of these ghost ships to the sea wolf.
So far, Chu Cai can be sure that it was this sea wolf who opposed him during this period and sent so many ghost boats to trouble him.
At first, Mr. Chu Cai did not know why this sea wolf suddenly made such a move. Mr. Chu Cai mainly moved in the waters north of Chaozhou, south of Quanzhou, while the sea wolf surnamed Yu was mainly located in Fuzhou and Funing. The two sides used to take Quanzhou as the boundary. Although they did not meet, they were basically Well water does not violate the river.
Even if occasionally someone fished through the boundary, the two sides basically had a little friction and did not make a big fight, so he asked his subordinates why he did this, and did not hesitate to tear his face with him and sent so many ghost boats to trouble him.
After his shopkeepers gathered on Dongshan Island, Chu Cailao didn't ask much about the reason. It turned out that two or three shopkeepers under him had robbed merchant ships belonging to sea wolves many times in these six months, and also killed many people on sea wolf merchant ships.
At this time, Mr. Chu Cai completely figured out why Yu Hailang did this. It turned out that this incident was the first thing provoked by his men and pissed off the surnamed Yu, so he made such a move.
However, Mr. Chu Cai doesn't think he did something wrong. In his opinion, it is very normal for them to accidentally injure their peers at sea. Your merchant ship surnamed Yu has gone through Laozi's territory and deserves to be robbed by Laozi's people.
But in his and his men's opinion, Yu's behavior is itself to do so. He dares not bring people to plead, but sends people to send ships to attack his ships, which in itself represents Yu's fear and timidity for his old Chu Cai. Otherwise, he doesn't have to use such a trick.
So Mr. Chu decided to teach this surname Yu a lesson in this matter. If possible, he would simply destroy the surname Yu. Anyway, it is said that the person surname Yu is very rich in Fuzhou. Moreover, on the sea of Fuzhou, the fat water is not small, so he will simply bless him. The territory of the state and Funing was also snatched and incorporated into his territory.
The whole Chu Cai Lao Group began to mobilize during the Spring Festival.
