Chapter 314 Government Movement
While Xiaotian was busy paying attention to the migration of his sea wolf industry and the relationship with the land government during this period, a piece of news came from Yan Siqi, which made Yu Xiaotian have to turn his attention to them again.
This news from Yan Siqi is about Zheng Yiguan, a brother of a sea wolf who sneaked into Yan Siqi and recently brought back a news through a merchant ship from a sea wolf to Yan Siqi's territory.
This news said that something had happened to Yan Siqi recently. Zheng Yiguan got a message half a month ago and suddenly rushed back to Japan. After searching, the brother of the sea wolf learned that Li Dan, Zheng Yiguan's adoptive father, suddenly died of illness on his way back to Pinghu, Japan from Macao in August.
Because Zheng Yiguan was his adopted son and was trusted by Li Dan, the people on the ship immediately tried to send the news to Taiwan Yuandao and notified Zheng Yiguan.
After Zheng Yiguan learned the news, he immediately took Sanchuan's men and set sail to Pinghu, Japan that night.
Originally, when Xingtang got the news, he did not pay much attention to it. He felt that Zheng Yiguan's matter did not have much to do with the sea wolf, but because Yu Xiaotian once told them, he should inform him as soon as possible about Yan Siqi and Zheng Yiguan. I told Yu Xiaotian about this.
After Yu Xiaotian learned the news, he was a little confused.
Because he used to be interested in Zheng Zhilong and Yan Siqi, he learned more about their deeds. According to his previous knowledge, Yan Siqi, as the king of Taiwan, was ambitious, but unlucky. After he took more than a dozen ships of brothers to Taiwan, he vigorously farmed and recruited soldiers to buy Ma originally wanted to achieve a career, but he did not carry on this career.
Because less than two years after Yan Siqi arrived in Taiwan, about a year later, he fell seriously ill after drinking, so that he died of a violent illness in Taiwan in his thirties.
Later, because of his outstanding ability, Zheng Yiguan was elected as the new boss by Yan Siqi's brothers and took over Yan Siqi's position.
Soon, Zheng Yiguan's adoptive father Li Dan also died. Li Dan is a famous sea merchant across the sea of China, Japan and Ryukyu in this era. He is said to be a sea merchant. In fact, this era is a pirate group. On the one hand, they not only plunder at sea, but also take care of sea trade business, traveling to Japan, Ryukyu and Daming. And all over the South China, it deals with the Dutch, Spaniards, Portuguese and even the British.
Li Dan is undoubtedly one of the largest sea merchants in this era. He has hundreds of ships, and there are more than 10,000 people who rely on him to eat.
The reason why Zheng Zhilong rose quickly at sea and became a hegemon on the sea, and later even controlled the whole Chinese sea. In fact, the most important reason is that he was Li Dan's adopted son, and at the same time, he also inherited Yan Siqi's manor, so that he became the largest pirate leader on the Chinese sea in a very short time.
But now that he got the news, Yu Xiaotian is a little confused, because as far as he knows, Li Dan should have died after Yan Siqi, and Zheng Zhilong inherited Li Dan's estate after inheriting Yan Siqi's manor, making him immediately become a sea bully.
But this news overturned Yu Xiaotian's previous understanding of this matter. Li Dan died in front of Yan Siqi, which seemed to be separated from the development of the original history.
The reason why Zheng Yiguan hurriedly took people out of Bengang after getting the news must have run back to Pinghu in the name of funeral and robbed the legacy left by Li Dan. At this point, Zheng Zhilong has a great advantage, and even compared with Li Dan's son in Li Dan's men, he is still popular.
So it is basically certain that if Zheng Yiguan does not have an accident this time, he should be able to get most of Li Dan's inheritance, especially Li Dan's fleet and former subordinates, which will basically belong to Zheng Yiguan.
But there is a problem. Zheng Yiguan has been working under Yan Siqi during this period, which is Yan Siqi's part, but once Li Dan dies, once Zheng Yiguan inherits most of Li Dan's inheritance, then Zheng Yiguan will have much more strength than Yan Siqi. Yan Siqi will not die, and Zheng Yiguan will have nothing. After France inherits Yan Siqi's manor, what will happen to the relationship between Zheng Yiguan, who is stronger than Yan Siqi, and Yan Siqi in the future?
At this time, Yu Xiaotian couldn't figure it out. History came here. It seems that because of his appearance, it began to have a butterfly effect. Yan Siqi's fate may have changed because of his appearance.
In this way, Yu Xiaotian can't continue to predict what will happen in the sea.
After Yu Xiaotian learned the news, he was confused for a while, and then calmed down and began to sort out this matter, trying to sort out another clue from it.
After thinking about it, he can't predict what will happen between Zheng Yiguan and Yan Siqi in the future, but in short, he can confirm that once Zheng Yiguan inherits Li Dan's manor, he may not be willing to succumb to Yan Siqi's men. In that case, I'm afraid his men will also I won't be satisfied.
Next, there is a great possibility that Zheng Yiguan will break away from Yan Siqi and become a single force, and Zheng Yiguan's strength will probably gain unprecedented growth in the short term. Yu Xiaotian can't predict what will affect his sea wolf next.
So Yu Xiaotian immediately ordered Liu Laoliu to stay on Yan Siqi's side. During this period, he closely observed all kinds of things between Yan Siqi and Zheng Yiguan and tried to get the news there as soon as possible.
As the weather gradually turned cold, the relationship between the land government and the sea wolf began to become more and more tense.
Zhu Qinxiang, the governor of Fujian, wanted to attack the sea wolf when he first came to office, but because of Fujian's lack of financial resources, he was unable to mobilise a large number of officers and warships to suppress the sea wolf in a short period of time. After the news was revealed, he was retaliated by the sea wolf and attacked the land coast for more than a month to fight against Zhu Qin. Demonstrate.
Zhu Qinxiang could not raise enough military salaries and grain in a short period of time, so he could only let various places take precautions to prevent the attack of sea wolves.
However, the effect of this is very poor. It can't prevent the haunted sea wolves at all. Although the defense has been strengthened, it is still impossible to prevent the sea wolves from landing and harassing.
Therefore, Zhu Qinxiang felt ashamed of this and was deeply ashamed. In the past few months, he secretly raised funds, and made Zhang Jiace, deputy general of Fujian, and Yu Zhigao, deputy general, to strengthen training, and at the same time, he ordered all places to repair warships and raise funds to build new warships. In addition, he also ordered all parts of Fujian to measure the casting of cannons, sharpening his knife and prepare to avenge the sea wolf with an arrow.
In the past few months, although the coastal area of Fujian has become calm on the surface, the undercurrent has surged secretly, and the activities of the army have also intensified a lot. Some water camps that have not been renovated for many years have begun to acquire new warships and recruit some new recruits.
These things are also under the surveillance of the sea wolf. Yu Xiaotian actually knows that he has been married with the government. The government's subjugation of his sea wolf is a matter of sooner or later, but it's just a matter of time.
Yu Xiaotian did not inform the leaders of the sea wolf about this matter in advance, so that they could know it in advance, so that these guys had nothing to do during this period.
The leaders of the sea wolf did not feel too nervous after learning about this, because they knew too well about the officers and soldiers. Nowadays, especially the navy, the warships are dilapidated and insufficient in number. Although there are cannons, most of them are some old cannons, and even some cannons equipped with water battalions, which are still the same year. The forged during the years of Xuande and orthodoxy is really old-fashioned, and although the sea wolf is definitely not as many ships as the Fujian government, it is precious in the elite.
All the warships of the sea wolf are new ships that are less than five years old. Most of them are new ships about one to three years old. The hull is strong, and after some transformation, the ship is equipped with more than three cannons, and most of them are new six-pound guns. The worst is Franco machine guns, even if they are smaller and the worst. The sentry ship is also equipped with newly cast short-bated six-pound guns and some newer bowls or small Franco cannons.
Therefore, the combat strength of the sea wolf water army has an absolute technical advantage over the officers' sailors. At the same time, the training of the sailors of the sea wolf department is far better than the officers and soldiers of the officers and sailors. Anyway, the sea wolf seems to have no reason to be afraid of them.
Therefore, the sea wolf people are not too nervous about this news, but some people have some taboos about starting a war with the government. After all, the golden signboard of Daming has been hanging for more than 200 years, and the accumulation of prestige is still there. Some sea wolf members feel that they are enemies of the government and have little psychological advantages.
After all, fighting with peers and the government is not a conceptual matter. Fighting with peers at that time, but fighting with the government is a rebellion.
So some people are more or less afraid of this, especially some coastal soldiers who are recruited, and some soldiers whose families have not yet moved to the territory of Nanri Island or sea wolves on land.
Yu Xiaotian went to the navy and the war camp many times to cheer up these men and tell them that it was not that Yu Xiaotian wanted to rebel and make trouble, but the government forced them. They just wanted to make a living on the sea, but the government could not see their ease and wanted to calm them and let them back. The previous hard days.
So they are enemies of the government in order to keep their jobs and ways to eat. If they let the government bully them so much, they will definitely be beaten back to their original form in the future. As they are now, they will be full of food and dressed, and the days of paying and rewards will be gone forever. .
