Chapter 275 ultimatum
As soon as everyone heard it, they felt that what Yan Siqi said was also reasonable. Now, with what Zheng Yiguan said, they killed Yu Xiaotian. It really didn't make sense. What's more, there were thousands of sea wolves behind Yu Xiaotian. Once they provoked those people's words and caused the sea wolves to come forward to revenge, they really have no way to do it. Fu, if not, they will eventually be killed by the sea wolf.
"Why don't we partner with Chu Cai to deal with the sea wolf after killing this surname Yu?" Someone else came up with an idea.
"Bullshit! Don't even think about it! Chu Cai, an old fox, is afraid that if he hears that they killed Yu Xiaotian, he will laugh on the spot and will definitely not cooperate with them. He is anxious at this time. He is afraid of being approached by the sea wolf and is thinking of delaying him for a period of time to restore his strength! How can you cooperate with us to deal with sea wolves?
He will definitely watch jokes by his side, waiting for the sea wolf to fight with us, and then sit down to reap the benefits of the fisherman! I have said this, and no one is allowed to mention it again! Moreover, what we said today is also limited to those of us who know and will never mention it to others. Once the rumor spreads to Filial Piety, I'm afraid that even friends will not be able to do it in the future!
No matter what Yu Xiaotian says, he is kind to us first. I, Yan Siqi, will never do such an ungrateful thing! Do you remember?" After hearing this, Yan Siqi suddenly became furious and shouted harshly at his men who continued to propose to kill Yu Xiaotian.
At this time, everyone became mute, and Yan Siqi was their boss. Since Yan Siqi said so, they couldn't help but listen. After angering Yan Siqi's words, they had no good fruit to eat, so everyone had to shut their mouths.
Zheng Yiguan saw that the atmosphere in the room had become very depressing, so he smiled and said, "What you said makes sense! Reasonable, there is no reason for us to be unfavorable to filial piety at this time!
If you do this, you will do a big favor for Chu Cai, waiting for Chu Cai to see a joke! And what the eldest brother said is right. If we are unfavorable to filial piety at this time, I'm afraid it will attract the world's heroic jokes and contempt! Who dares to deal with us in the future?
But brother, please listen to the next word! Although Yu Xiaotian and we are friends, after all, this person will become a threat to us in the future, and we can't sit back and watch it! Let it be!"
"Oh? Official, according to you, what should we do now?
After Zheng Yiguan cleared his mind a little, he opened his mouth and replied to Yan Siqi, "At present, the relationship between the sea wolf and us is naturally unbroken, and the sea wolf is still useful to us, and there is nothing against us, and with our strength, we can't conflict with them for the time being! So this relationship must be maintained!
But I think that we can't sit back and watch them sit down like this. At least this time, we can't let them force Chu Cai into a dead corner, at least not let them all get what they want!
Especially on the territory, we must not let Chu Cailao completely withdraw from Fujian, nor let the sea wolves control all the coastal areas of Fujian. With the current situation, I think we should let the sea wolves take over the sea north of Quanzhou at most, while south of Quanzhou cannot let Yu Xiaotian do what he wants, because from the south of Quanzhou, it is the place where we often move. Nominally, it should be left to Chu Cailao, but in fact, after this defeat, Chu Cailao has been unable to control the area south of Quanzhou. We can take the opportunity to intervene and control this area in our hands.
With our intervention, it should be acceptable for both of them, because we have friendship with both of them. Even if we intervene in it, for them, it is equivalent to separating them from each other, so that they often get obscene! In this way, our life will be much better in the future!
In addition, we can't let the sea wolf propose 80,000 taels of silver easily. We can mediate from it, let Chu Cai give some money as much as possible, and let Yu Xiaotian take less!
Although this is not good for us, it can let Chu Cai save more strength and let Yu Xiaotian take less advantage of it. Under the long run, Chu Cai can recover faster. Once there is something bad between us and Yu Xiaotian, Chu Cai always wants to accept our feelings for us, and we will You can join hands with Chu Cai to deal with Yu Xiaotian! This is also a backhand we prepared in advance! Although it may not be useful, at least a friend like Chu Cai can be maintained. In the future, we will act on Chu Cai's territory, and Chu Cai will not be polite to us!
I don't know what the eldest brother's opinion about this method?
After listening to Zheng Yiguan's words, Yan Siqi gently taped the table with his fingers. After thinking about it for a while, he slowly applauded and smiled, "The official's brain is really good! This method is feasible! It is not only not to offend Xiaotian, but also can secretly maintain Chu Cailao, and secretly block Yu Xiaotian! In addition, it also contributed to their peace on the surface, which can be said to be a method of counting! Not bad, not bad! Haha! Yiguan, it seems that you are really a wise star!
You guys also look at the official. Their minds are so meticulous. Compared with you guys, they only know how to fight and kill all day long. If there is anything wrong with you in the future, you still need to listen to the opinions of the official!
I repeat, this matter will be handled according to the official's method, but you all remember that this matter is only known to us, and no one else is allowed to know, so as to prevent it from coming into Yu Xiaotian's ears and causing his dissatisfaction with us!"
After listening to Zheng Yiguan's proposal, everyone here also felt that it was indeed a wonderful plan. They secretly admired Zheng Yiguan's wisdom, so they nodded repeatedly and said yes, and after chatting for a while, they dispersed one after another.
In the next few days, Yu Xiaotian did not bother to grind his teeth with Mr. Chu Cai. He simply handed over all the negotiations to Lin Yiyang and Zhao Mazi and let them come forward to negotiate with Mr. Chu Cai.
And he was very interested. With a few guards, on the pretext of visiting the mountains and rivers, he asked Yan Siqi to send people to take him around on the ground of Yan Siqi, hunting, or fishing. When he was interested, he also competed with Yan Siqi's men for swords or fists and feet. It was a pleasure to play.
And Yan Siqi took Zheng Yiguan to continuously mediate between Chu and the two to promote the peace between them.
Mr. Chu Cai used the trick of dragging. Some of the requirements put forward by the sea wolf were acceptable, but on key issues, he always refused to let go, so he dragged here with the sea wolf.
And Chu Cailao still pestered again and again, wanting the sea wolf to release the ships and his men he was captured. Of course, Yu Xiaotian categorically refused, did not give money, and did not let anyone go.
And Yu Xiaotian still claimed that he would ask for a hundred taels of silver for each of his men killed by the sea wolf when he sent Master Zhou to Nanri Island. Now he refuses to give out eight taels of silver, so don't want him to release any prisoners.
In short, the negotiations have been deadlocked for the next few days. Later, Yu Xiaotian made a slight concession and reduced the amount of silver claimed to 60,000 taels, but Chu Cai still refused to agree.
When Yu Xiaotian basically turned the whole territory of Yan Siqi and learned about many local situations about the natives, his patience was finally exhausted.
So Yu Xiaotian told Yan Siqi, Lin Yiyang and Zhao Mazi that if Chu Cailao refused to agree to their terms one day, he would no longer continue to grind his teeth with Chu Cailao. This peace matter also ended. He immediately returned to Nanri Island to rise up and went to Dongshan Island and Chu Cailao to see the truth.
When Yan Siqi heard this, he invited Yu Xiaotian, Lin Yiyang, Zhao Mazi and others to have a banquet that night and advised Yu Xiaotian to wait patiently for another two days, but Yu Xiaotian still insisted on giving Chu Cai only one day and stopped talking about it.
Yan Siqi's attitude towards Yu Xiaotian seemed to be very resolute, so he discussed with Yu Xiaotian and said that he had also talked to Mr. Chu Cai. Chu Cai did have difficulties in compensating for the amount of silver, and he could not immediately take out 60,000 taels of silver to compensate the sea wolf. In addition, it was difficult for Chu Cai Lao to completely withdraw from the coastal areas of Fujian.
So he asked Yu Xiaotian to give in and not to push Chu Cai too hard. After listening, Yu Xiaotian thought about it again and pretended to be very embarrassed. His statement could be for Yan Siqi's sake, and then give Chu Cai a little concession.
Yan Siqi proposed to let Yu Xiaotian take over the sea north of Quanzhou, which he currently controls. In the future, Chu Cailao will not be able to commit crimes in the north, and Chu Cailao in the south of Quanzhou can still move. In addition, he will avoid making other peers too dissatisfied with this, so as not to make Yu Xiaotian attract more hatred from his peers.
Yu Xiaotian and Lin Yiyang and others discussed this and said that it was acceptable, but Chu Cai Lao must promise to ensure the safety of his ship when it goes south through Chu Cai's territory. Otherwise, he will definitely not forgive Chu Cai Lao.
As for the compensation for silver, Yan Siqi discussed with Yu Xiaotian for a while and pleaded for Chu Cailao. Finally, Yu Xiaotian promised to subtract another 20,000 taels for the silver compensation, and Chu Cailao could give him 40,000 taels of silver.
As for returning Chu Cai's subordinates, Yan Siqi also pleaded for Chu Cai's old man, and Yu Xiaotian finally agreed to release Chu Cai's 300 men and ten boats, even if there was one more.
So Yan Siqi and Zheng Yiguan hurried to discuss with Mr. Chu Cai and told Mr. Chu Cai that they had done their best and said everything they had to say. Yu Xiaotian finally promised to give Yan Siqi a face and relax the conditions, but if Mr. Chu Cai still refused to agree, they could no longer help Mr. Chu Cai. .
And Yu Xiaotian has issued an ultimatum. He will finish talking about this matter tomorrow at the latest, otherwise he will go back to Nanri Island, and then look at Chu Cai's own.
