Chapter 301 Wind

"That's not true! This group of sea wolves do behave strangely, but they never commit adultery! I heard that after this group of sea wolves controlled the sea of the coastal state capital, they forced merchants who passed along the coastal area to pay the so-called road money to them, so that they could safely pass through the sea in this area! Otherwise, their ships will be robbed by the sea wolves, and the ships and goods will be robbed by the sea wolves!

In addition, this group of sea wolves have also attacked the land several times, but they did not invade the place very much. Instead, they plundered some boats or kidnapped some craftsmen. In addition, they also killed some coastal fishermen!

It is said that the sea wolf has set up a ship and iron work on Nanri Island, specializing in building warships and weapons for it. There are even rumors that the sea wolf can cast its own Hongyi cannon. The reason why Chu Cailao was defeated by the sea wolf this time is that there are many Hongyi cannons for the sea wolf, so it will let Chu Cai leave!" Lu Wenheng quickly lowered his head and replied to Zhu Qin below.

As soon as Zhu Qinxiang heard the words of Hongyi cannon, he immediately took a breath, but then immediately shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this is hearsay!" What is the Hongyi cannon? This is also a heavy weapon! Last year, when I was in Beijing, I heard that Guangdong bought 30 Hongyi cannons from the Folang machine, of which 26 were sent to Beijing, while 16 Hongyi cannons sent to Beijing were left in Beijing, and eight were shipped to Jinzhou!

The court attached great importance to this Hongyi cannon and made Guangdong imitate it. Last year, including this year, Guangdong did its best, but only imitated more than 20 Hongyi cannons and cast 28 Luzon bronze cannons.

Sea wolves are just a group of pirates. How can they easily cast such a heavy weapon? This matter is by no means credible. If the sea wolf really has a red cannon, then it can only be bought from the Folang machine man or the red hair man. It is estimated that it is said that they were cast by themselves!"

When all the officials here heard it, they all felt reasonable. In addition, it was even more difficult to refute the face of Zhu Qinxiang, the new governor, to his face, so they even called it.

After all, they have only heard of such a thing as the Hongyi cannon, and many people have not even seen it. They only know that this thing is very sharp. Once it gets angry, it will be invincible within ten miles!

And the craftsmen of Fujian Iron Field can't cast it. Not to mention the small sea wolves, a group of pirates, can be cast such a sharp weapon with just a Nanri Island. Therefore, although they have heard rumors about sea wolves casting cannons themselves, they are unwilling to believe that even sea wolves can cast cannons by themselves, it should be some old style. It's just a small cannon like a bowl.

I guess it was Chu Cailao who was defeated by the sea wolf this time and couldn't justify himself, so he made up a lie!

Zhu Qinxiang thought that his analysis should be very correct, so he put this matter behind and began to continue to discuss how to deal with this group of sea wolves.

Originally, after Zhu Qinxiang was determined to serve as the governor of Fujian, he immediately followed his predecessor Nan Juyi and made some achievements in matters along the coast of Fujian. When he came here, he set his goal in the Fuzhou area and naturally took the sea wolf as a goal he wanted to deal with.

However, when he proposed to mobilization troops to fight against the sea wolf on Nanri Island, this matter was opposed by Fujian officials, especially Lu Wenheng, the current governor of Fuzhou, who immediately showed resistance to Zhu Qin's sending troops to suppress the sea wolf group on Nanri Island.

Zhu Qinxiang immediately questioned why Lu Wenheng wanted to speak for these pirates. Lu Wenheng quickly got up and bowed his fists and replied to Zhu Qin: "I want to Futai Lord, and there is no idea of defending the sea wolf! The reason why the humble position does not agree that as soon as Futai Lord arrived in office, he immediately set up troops to fight against the sea wolves on Nanri Island is not his own selfishness!

Last year, in order to expel the red-haired people who were living in Penghu, the former Lord Nan almost did his best in Fujian and devoted himself to the whole territory. He mobilized tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, hundreds of warships, cost hundreds of thousands of military resources, and countless grains and fodder. All prefectures have contributed a lot to this, and the treasury is still empty. !

Now, if the lord of Futai immediately goes to Nanri Island to fight for thieves, I'm afraid there will be a lot of expenses, and the Fuzhou government treasury now has no more than 10,000 taels of silver and more than 1,000 stones of grain, which is not enough to cope with such a war!

In addition, although the sea wolf is strong, it has not attacked the shore with its recent actions. If Futai adults want to suppress it, it will not be a big problem if they can be destroyed!

I'm afraid that if I lose to suppress it! I'm afraid it will anger this group of pirates and make them attack the land from now on, so I'm afraid that the people along the coast of Fujian will never have peace in the future!

Therefore, this humble position opposes the Lord of Futai now sending troops to suppress him. I hope Lord Futai will forgive me! Forgive the crime of disrespect!"

After listening to Lu Wenheng's words, Zhu Qin stroked his beard on his jaw and meditated for a while. He was quite dissatisfied with Lu Wenheng, but he had to admit that Lu Wenheng's words had some reason.

Since ancient times, it has not been a trivial matter to be provocative. If you win, it is okay to say, but once you lose the battle, whoever takes the lead will be unlucky, and whoever will take the blame.

He came to Fujian to take the post of governor. Although he wants to make some achievements and take this group of sea wolves to gain power, if this battle really starts, he must first solve the problem of food and salary needed to dispatch troops and generals before moving food and fodder. Otherwise, those warriors will definitely not listen to his dispatch.

However, he has just arrived and is not very clear about the current financial situation of the various prefectures in Fujian. He is not sure whether he can support his plan to use troops. At present, he is not optimistic about relying on the financial resources of Fuzhou Prefecture or Xinghua Prefecture to support the use of troops.

After all, Nanjuyi just had a fight with the Red-haired People in the Penghu area last year, and spent a lot of money. Now if he immediately moves to fight another big battle, I'm afraid that even Fujian is rich people may not be able to get so much food and salaries to meet his needs at once.

In addition, he was here today and heard that this group of sea wolves are not easy to deal with. According to these local officials, this group of sea wolves has thousands of people, more than 100 warships, and many boats. There are also many fishermen at sea who are also thieves. In addition, there are many cannons, which is very difficult to deal with.

Everyone knows the strength of old Chu Cai. It is said that thousands of sea pirates were summoned last time, and as many as two or three hundred warships were killed and rushed to Nanri Island, but they were still defeated by the sea wolf and fled. In the end, they were forced to lose tens of thousands of taels by the sea wolf. It can be seen that they wanted to It is absolutely impossible to deal with this group of sea wolves without troops.

A few years ago, Fujian sent troops to Nanri Island to try to eliminate the shark gangs on Nanri Island, but they ended up being defeated, so that many officials were implicated, lost their positions, dismissed from office, and even beheaded.

So when Zhu Qinxiang proposed to deal with the sea wolf, these officials were also very cautious and asked Zhu Qin to think twice.

After listening to the opinions of these Fujian officials, Zhu Qinxiang couldn't help but hesitate, so he had to let these officials go back first and slowly discuss the matter.

But where these officials may keep their mouths? Within two days, the news that Zhu Qinxiang, the governor of Fujian, wanted to send troops to suppress the sea wolves on Nanri Island began to spread all over Fuzhou City.

Mao Shengyuan, as the eyeliner of the sea wolf on land, must have learned the news at the first time. He dared not neglect it and sent people from Fuzhou to Nanri Island overnight and reported the news to Yu Xiaotian, who had just returned to Nanri Island from Chicken Cage Bay.

Chapter 302 Strongly stated

After hearing the news, Yu Xiaotian immediately slapped the big case in the council hall, stood up and said angrily, "What is this Zhu Qinxiang? I took good care of himself on this Nanri Island. He was his governor. I did my pirates, and I didn't provoke him. Why did he send troops to suppress me?

The subordinates sent by Li Yi to deliver the letter immediately replied, "I'm the big head of the house. According to the young people, this time Zhu Qinxiang came to Fuzhou to serve. As soon as he arrived here, he summoned the three divisions of Fujian and Lu Wenheng, the governor of Fuzhou, and others to the governor's office for discussion!

According to the person of the governor, this governor Zhu is very optimistic about the ex-Juyi's ex-battle of Penghu * red-haired people, so he also wants to come to Fujian to show his fists and feet so that he can keep an eye on us!

This governor Zhu also wanted to get a reputation on the Pingjing Sea, so he tried to set up troops to fight against our Nanri Island! However, it is rumored that his idea has not been supported by Lu Wenheng, the governor of Fuzhou, and the officials of the three departments. The reason is that the treasury is empty and unable to support him to use heavy troops to fight against us! Therefore, this matter is only a motion at present and has not yet been finalised!

However, the shopkeeper Li still asked Xiao to bring this matter back and inform the big master first. Please be prepared in advance in case the government suddenly attacks our Nanri Island!"

After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian was still angry and scolded angrily, "This bastard! He just wanted to get credit, but regardless of whether I was a harm or not, he wanted to send troops to deal with me so arbitrary! Can't I be muddy?"

Liu Laoliu also rushed over when he heard the news. Seeing Yu Xiaotian's angry appearance, he asked what had happened. When he learned that the new governor of Fujian actually wanted to send troops to fight against their sea wolves, he was immediately angry, followed by a curse, and said to Xiaotian:

Liu Yidao has returned from injury at this time and became the leader of the third fleet. During this period, the one-eyed dragon on Shuangfeng Island on the other side of Funing was also recalled to the South Japan Island. It can be seen that Yu Xiaotian was really angry this time.

When these men gathered, Yu Xiaotian immediately informed these brothers that the land governor of Fujian wanted to deal with their sea wolves this time.

In fact, everyone has heard the news these days, and they have been so angry that they have been dying. After listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, the worst-tempered one-eyed dragon immediately got up and scolded, "This Zhu is not a thing. We didn't provoke him. Why did this old bastard deal with us? If it hadn't been for the strictness of the great lord, how could the coast of Fuzhou, Xinghua and Funing be so peaceful as it is now? However, these officials don't look at this, but just want to provoke us. In this case, from what my subordinates have seen, there is no need for the big leaders to be polite to them. It's best to deal with them fiercely! If you want me to say that I should simply take down Haitan Island together and let this Zhu know how powerful we are!"

For the clamor of the one-eyed dragon, the rest of Ma Xiao, Liu Yidao, Hu Cheng, Luo Xianbin and others even nodded. In a word, Zhu Qinxiang's idea this time was to completely piss off these sea wolves, and even the guys who had been relatively gentle in the governing hall felt the need to beat the officials this time. House.

Yu Xiaotian nodded and said, "It seems that your ideas coincide with me this time! Indeed, we sea wolves have never offend me, and I don't offend them. Now that the government wants to deal with us, we naturally can't make them better!

At present, we are short of people and things in fresh water and chicken cages, so we might as well use some means to let the government see it! From now on, I allow you to start looking for some targets along the coast!

These targets mainly select the homes, rich households and some rich people's villages within 20 miles of the coast, but they should not kill innocent people indiscriminately. After breaking through their villages, they should kill less and be careful!

At present, we not only want people, but also have to find ways to get more cattle, horses, donkeys and mules. These things will be transported back together. As for Haitan Island, we don't have to take it for the time being. At present, we just want to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, not to force the government to break with us. If we take Haitan Island, I'm afraid it will have too much impact, even if It was the Fujian government that agreed. I'm afraid the court will not agree. We are not enough to deal with a large number of officers and soldiers!

Therefore, you must do things moderately. We need to get money and people, and don't kill innocent people easily. For coastal fishing villages, except for a limited number of fishermen, the rest are not allowed to move! You must keep this in mind!"

After hearing this, everyone immediately got up and responded to the order. Next, Yu Xiaotian divided the mission area of the three fleets. The first fleet under his jurisdiction was mainly in the coastal areas of Xinghua Prefecture and Fuzhou Prefecture, while the second fleet was mainly located north of the mouth of the Minjiang River and the coastal area of Funing Prefecture, and the third boat The team is responsible for activities around Quanzhou.

In addition, the barracks also transferred 300 people to participate in the operation. Each fleet is equipped with two units of 100 soldiers to cooperate with the fleet after landing.

In addition, each fleet should find a suitable target before taking action. After selecting a target for them to start, the purposeful action should be both powerful and not too extensive. The target is mainly targeted at some large families and powerful estates in the coastal area. .

At the end of June, the sea wolf finally began to take action. From Quanzhou in the south to Wenzhou Prefecture in Zhejiang Province in the north, a sudden outbreak of intensive pirate attacks on the shore in the coastal area. The large number and short time almost caught the coastal prefectures and counties of Fujian off guard.

In just about half a month, dozens of pirates attacked and harassed villages on the shore. Dozens of large families and powerful families were destroyed by pirates, and their wealth was almost looted, including the villagers in their villages. According to statistics, there were more than 2,000 villagers in this round of pirates. In the process of attacking the shore, he was kidnapped by pirates and carried into the sea.

Urgent reports from various places flew like snowflakes to the governor's office of Fucheng and Fuzhou Prefecture, asking Fucheng and the governor's government to find a way to make a quick determination.

In the past two years, such a fierce pirate attack has rarely occurred along the coast of Fujian, especially in the coastal areas north of Quanzhou. Even if there are pirates attacking the land, it is also caused by some small groups of pirates, and the impact is not very large. However, such a violent attack on the land almost makes the whole State government officials along the coast of Fujian were a little caught off guard.

And all the news about these things pointed to the sea wolves on Nanri Island. The pirates who landed were very awept. They were well organized and acted quickly. They often chose to take action on the shore in the afternoon. Before nightfall, they broke through the village and looted the village overnight. They not only wanted people, but also did not let go. Everything, including the mules, horses, cattle and sheep in the village, were all looted and returned to the ship before dawn, and Yang Fan left.

Often when the local government learned the news that when they sent soldiers and horses to the scene of the accident, they saw an empty village. Not to mention pirates, even the local villagers could not find any of them. At most, they could find the bodies of a few villagers who were killed because of resistance.

The officials of the sea wolf's fierce attack on the land, the officials of all states and counties were shocked and rushed to the governor's government, asking the governor's government to send troops to suppress it quickly.
