Chapter 276 Know yourself and know your enemy
Although Chu Cailao was reluctant, there was nothing he could do, and he also saw that this time Yan Siqi did a lot of effort for the peace between him and Yu Xiaotian. He secretly helped him a lot, but he was quite affectionate to Yan Siqi.
In the end, Chu Cailao had to accept this final condition and said that he would negotiate this matter with Yu Xiaotian the next day, and repeatedly thanked Yan Siqi and Zheng Yiguan.
The next morning, Yu Xiaotian, who had disappeared for several days, finally appeared at the negotiation site. On the surface, he was still happy. He was very respectful to Chu Cai, and even did not hesitate to show courtesy to Chu Cai as a junior.
And Chu Cailao looked at Yu Xiaotian's meloof posture and couldn't help but feel like vomiting. He couldn't wait to use his big ear scraper to pull through Xiaotian, but this can only be thought about it. Even if he is against Yu Xiaotian, he, a 50-and-a-half-year-old man, will never be a tall and powerful Yu Xiaotian. With his hand, Yu Xiaotian tied a hand and could beat him all over the ground looking for teeth.
So Mr. Chu Cai could only resist the anger in his heart. On the surface, he calmly saluted with Yu Xiaotian. After sitting down, he began the final negotiation.
Lin Yiyang directly took out a condition drawn up the night before, gave it to Chu Cailao and others to watch, and clearly informed Chu Cailao and others that this was the bottom line of their sea wolf. If Chu Cailao did not agree, this peace was over, and the next thing was left to Chu Cailao himself. It is full of threats.
Mr. Chu Cai and others looked at these conditions put forward by the sea wolf, which were basically the same as what Yan Siqi told them the night before, so they did not fart any more. They gritted their teeth and nodded and agreed. They just put forward to hope that the sea wolf could be released more of his subordinates, but they were also categorically rejected by Yu Xiaotian.
So in the end, Mr. Chu Cai had to agree to the peace treaty, but his heart was almost bleeding. 40,000 taels of silver made him feel distressed to death. In two or three years, he may not be able to save so much money. I'm afraid he can't get back for a long time, not to mention from the sea in Quanzhou north of Weitou Bay, He can no longer set foot in this. You should know that Quanzhou is a fertile land. There are many sea merchants on the sea in this area, and the sea area is also very busy. After losing it, he lost a large area to make a fortune.
But even if he is heartbroken, he can't say no this time. He really can't afford to be beaten by the sea wolf again in a short time. Even if he picks meat, he can only bite his teeth and recognize it now.
Seeing that Mr. Chu Cai had admitted defeat and agreed to all the conditions, Lin Yiyang immediately took out three terms that had been written in small regular script and gave them to Yan Siqi and Mr. Chu Cai to watch.
Yan Siqi also read more or less. In addition, with the help of Zheng Yiguan next to him, he read these peace terms and found no problems, and saw that there was a place where Yan Siqi signed and signed. As a guarantor, he came to testify about the peace between the two sides, so he nodded and agreed and ordered someone to take it. With pen and ink, he signed his name at the place of the guarantor and pressed his fingerprints.
Chu Cai had no choice but to sign the three peace treaty and give it to Yu Xiaotian.
Finally, after Yu Xiaotian also signed the deposit, he handed one to Yan Siqi for retention and one to Chu Cailao for retention, which was the end of this peace.
According to the agreement between the two parties, Chu Cai will evacuate all his men from the sea north of Weitou Bay within three days. From then on, he will not let his men enter the sea area. Otherwise, he will be disposed of by the sea wolves. If there are still Chu Cai's men who have not left the sea area within the time specified in the agreement, The sea wolf can be disposed of at will. If you want to kill it, it depends on the mood of the sea wolf.
In the other five days, Chu Cai will ship 40,000 taels of official silver (but it is not ordinary silver, but the best silver ingot from the government) to Weitou Bay and hand it over to the sea wolf people waiting there, which is considered to be the completion of this agreement.
If Chu Cai can't give the silver to the sea wolf within the specified time, Yu Xiaotian can do anything he wants. Next, Chu Cai can wait for bad luck!
Originally, Yan Siqi had to hold a banquet for them after the two discussed, but Mr. Chu Cai and Yu Xiaotian declined his good intentions. They both said that they had something important to do and could no longer stay here and return to their old camp.
So Yan Siqi had to agree to send them away from Bengang in person, and assigned two groups of men to escort them away, so that as soon as the two sides came out of his house, they started to take action outside.
Yu Xiaotian's boat is fast and powerful. Once he wants to kill Chu Cailao, he can definitely catch up with Chu Cailao and kill Chu Cailao. Therefore, Yan Siqi wants to prevent Yu Xiaoqi from taking this action, so he sent someone to escort them away, which can also be regarded as monitoring them.
Of course, Yu Xiaotian and Chu Cailao did not want to take this opportunity to kill the other party, especially Yu Xiaotian. Now that he has got what he wants, let alone move Chu Cai in the name of a person who has been said but untrustworthy. On the way back, Lin Yiyang is flying wolf. Enjoying the sea breeze on the straight deck, sitting next to a small table, drinking tea with Yu Xiaotian and Zhao Mazi.
"Big head! There is something I want to say to the big head! But I don't know whether this should be said or not!" Lin Yiyang put down the tea bowl and suddenly said to Xiaotian.
Yu Xiaotian won a complete victory in the negotiations and was in a good mood. He nodded and smiled, "Mr. Lin, just need to say something. You and I are one. As my advisor, what should I say? If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly!"
Lin Yiyang nodded and said, "This time we have made peace with Chu Cai here. I don't know if the big boss can see it. This Yan Siqi and his Zheng Yiguan don't seem to be on our side this time!"
"Oh? What's the matter?" Yu Xiaotian put down the tea bowl and asked Lin Yiyang.
"Although they are very enthusiastic about us and treat them every day, they feel that this Yan boss actually does not level a bowl of water, let alone stand on our side and think of us, but vaguely favors Chu Cai's old side! I'm talking for Mr. Chu Cai!" Lin Yiyang said.
Yu Xiaotian calmly continued to drink tea and nodded, "Yes, I can see it too!" Mr. Lin thought, why did Yan Siqi do this this time? What's his purpose for doing this?
Lin Yiyang saw that Yu Xiaotian had seen the eyebrows in it, so he nodded and secretly admired it. Yu Xiaotian could see this clearly, which was obviously much calmer than he expected. It can be seen that Xiaotian was not carried away by the current victory, which is very valuable.
"In fact, although we proposed to ask Yan Siqi to make peace with him this time, this matter seems to be helpful to Yan Siqi's reputation, but in essence, there are no more benefits for him! On the contrary, you have to pay a lot! At least take care of a lot of people's eating and drinking for many days!
But Yan Siqi is extremely enthusiastic about this matter. Why is that? It can be seen that Yan Siqi does not only value what we come here to make peace with Mr. Chu and help his reputation, but also want more!
In the next few days, I saw that Yan Siqi and Zheng Yiguan were very careful about whether we could negotiate or not, and tried their best to promote the agreement between us!
It seems that no matter how much interest they have, why are they so enthusiastic? Lin Yiyang asked twice in a row and said to Xiaotian.
Zhao Mazi and Luo Xianbin, who sat aside drinking tea, were confused. They listened to Lin Yiyang's words and looked at Yu Xiaotian tasting tea calmly, but did not talk. So Luo Xianbin was a little anxious and interrupted, "Mr. Lin, you are not happy to talk. You can't say anything directly. Why do you go around? Son! Let's talk about it. Why do Yan Siqi and others care so much?
Yu Xiaotian put down the tea bowl and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin's eyes are really like a torch, and he can see everything!" Ha ha! When you say that, I understand what you want to say!
Not bad! Your question is reasonable. Why are Yan Siqi and his men so enthusiastic about this matter? This matter is actually very simple, because it seems to have nothing to do with them on the surface, but it involves their potential interests!
If I guess correctly, Yan Siqi and his men, especially Zheng Yiguan, are very smart people. Although they make friends with us and even cooperate quite happily, they are not one with us after all, but another force of their own!
We accidentally defeated Chu Cailao this time and hit Chu Cailao hard, which can be said to be beyond everyone's expectation and made many people pay attention to it.
On the surface, it's just a dispute between us and Chu Cai, but in essence, it involves the balance of power along the coast of Fujian!
Boss Chu Cai returned from defeat and we won a complete victory. In the long run, we became stronger, but Chu Cai Lao was seriously weakened, so there was a change in power along the coast of Fujian, and there may even be some power vacuum. I'm afraid you don't understand the word vacuum. I'll make it simple, that is Some places along the coast of Fujian may be beyond the reach of us and Chu Cai, which gives others some opportunities.
Yan Siqi's current strength has improved very quickly. Most of his subordinates are people in southern Fujian, with a wide range of contacts on the ground. Moreover, Yan Siqi wants to operate Taiwan Member Island and establish a territory that belongs to him. In the past, the coastal areas of Xinghuafu, Fuzhou and Funingzhou in the north were basically our territory, and they could not get involved. !
To the south is within the control of Chu Cai's old men. They should also be more cautious. Now Chu Cai has lost his strength. Naturally, he naturally doesn't want to see us stretch out our hands too long and put the sea in the whole coastal area of Fujian in his pocket. In this way It's not necessarily a good thing for them.
After all, they also have to rely on the sea in southern Fujian to make a living. Once we occupy the whole coast of Fujian, it will definitely affect their interests.
So they don't want to see us push Chu Cai into a desperate situation. Once that's the case, we are too strong, and no one can restrain us in the future! Therefore, they must hope that Mr. Chu Cai can continue to survive. If necessary, once Yan Siqi and they have a conflict of interest with us, they can pull a helper to deal with us together!
Mr. Lin, do you think so?
