Chapter 28 Mantis Catching Cicada 2

The area of Bengang occupied by Yan Siqi is undoubtedly a very good place. It is not under the jurisdiction of Daming, but it is very close to Fujian and Guangxi. It can attack, retreat and defend. If he can beat it, he will get a hand. If he can't beat it, he will slip back to Taiwan Member Island. It is a very good choice for him to take over here.

But the trouble is that this is Yan Siqi's territory. Yan Siqi is his nominal eldest brother. They have a righteous relationship. The world has always been taboo about the following crimes. Even if he is strong, if he kills Yan Siqi, he will occupy it instead. In the future, it will damage his reputation. It will definitely be despised by many people.

In this way, if he wants to develop in the future, he will definitely be despised. I'm afraid that some of his subordinates will also be cold to him. At that time, someone will follow his example and turn around to deal with him.

Therefore, Zheng Yiguan was relatively restrained and never dared to break up with Yan Siqi. On the surface, he maintained the relationship between the two sides.

But he also knows that it is impossible for Yan Siqi and him to return to the previous relationship now. Both sides now have a lot of grudges in their hearts. It's only a matter of time. Sooner or later, he will turn against Yan Siqi.

Now Yan Siqi suddenly hooked with Yu Xiaotian and secretly bought cannons from Yu Xiaotian. Even if he thinks about it with his buttocks, he can still figure out why Yan Siqi will suddenly spend a lot of money to buy these things. It must be Yan Siqi who wants to secretly improve his strength and gain the ability to compete with him. Maybe kill him before he.

After learning the news, Zheng Yiguan suddenly felt very nervous. He was quite aware of Xiaotian's strength. Bosses like Chu Cailao fell into Yu Xiaotian's hands, which gave him a clear understanding of Xiaotian's strength. During this period, he has been collecting information about the sea wolf and has learned that the sea wolf can The cannon is self-cast, and the cannons cast are mostly in the shape of Western-style cannons owned by the Thais, with great power, long range and high accuracy.

This is also the reason why he would rather grab the territory with Mr. Chu Cai after his great increase in strength, and did not dare to easily go to Xinghuafu and Fuzhoufu for activities, that is, he is very afraid of sea wolves and dare not easily provoke Xiaotian.

Now Yu Xiaotian wants to sell a large number of cannons to Yan Siqi, which is a threat to him. He doesn't want Yan Siqi to suddenly become strong now, which is not in line with his interests.

Although Zheng Yiguan is not old, he has been in the world for a long time. Of course, he knows that fast-handed thrushes are slow, so he does not allow such a situation, which threatens his status and survival.

So he immediately gathered his cronies and began to discuss how to solve this problem. When Zheng Python and others heard about it, many people said that it was better to do it first. They turned against Yan Siqi, killed Yan Siqi, and directly grabbed Yan Siqi's territory. They were willing to stay with Zheng Yiguan in the future, but they were unwilling to follow them. Zheng Yiguan's man was killed and pulled down directly.

This method seems feasible, but it is not realistic for Zheng Yiguan, because although Yan Siqi is not as strong as him, he has a high prestige. His brothers are quite loyal to him, with a group of hardcore supporters, and Yan Siqi's strength is not as weak as ordinary people think.

If he brazenly does it, he must attract all the forces everywhere. This can't be done in a moment, and such a big movement can't be hidden from Yan Siqi. Yan Siqi has now raised his own precautions against him. From this time on, he secretly bought a big one. Cannon, hidden from Zheng Yiguan, it can be seen that Yan Siqi will use these things to deal with him later.

Moreover, Yan Siqi has also strengthened his vigilance during this period, gathered his cronies and stayed in Bengang and didn't go out much. Here in Bengang, Yan Siqi's strength is not weaker than Zheng Yiguan here, or even stronger than his strength. Therefore, once Yan Siqi found that Zheng Yiguan wanted to move, he could not If it's good, they will also choose to take the first strike. When they fight, no one will die.

So now brazenly, it is unrealistic to get rid of Yan Siqi. In a short time, he can't mobilize so much power to have a showdown with Yan Siqi.

But watching Yan Siqi transport so much silver to Nanri Island and hand it over to Yu Xiaotian and buy the cannon back, Zheng Yiguan felt too unwilling, so he discussed it with his men and finally came up with a solution.

That is to intercept the ship Yan Siqi sent to deliver silver. Anyway, the sea is very big. As long as they do it cleanly, block these boats, kill all the people on the ship, and rob the silver, then even if Yan Siqi suspects that he did it, there is no evidence. Once Yan Siqi wants to turn against him, then He found an opportunity to concentrate all his strength and kill Yan Siqi in the name of killing his brothers, and he could justly put this stupid port into his pocket.

This method is a cruel move, and it can kill two birds with one stone. It not only grabs silver, but may also force Yan Siqi to turn his back first.

So Zheng Yiguan immediately handed over this matter to his brother Zheng Python to take charge, causing Zheng Python to sneak out of the stupid port overnight, gathered more than a dozen ships belonging to him and his capable men outside, ambushed on the sea, waiting for Yan Siqi to send out the silver ship, and then followed them to leave the area to see the opportunity. Take it down in one fell swoop. As for the people on the ship, needless to say, in case someone reveals the news in the future, all of them were killed and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

However, the only news Zheng Yiguan didn't hear was that Yan Siqi had guarded against Zheng Yiguan's hand and sent Chen Xun to go to sea in advance to find Yu Xiaotian, and asked Yu Xiaotian to send someone to catch their silver boat halfway and escort them to Nanri Island.

Zheng Python quietly recruited a group of ships and their subordinates outside. Since yesterday, they have gathered in the sea outside Bengang to be on standby. Last night, he first found a remote place to rest. After dawn, he brought people to dry up and ambushed on the sea outside Bengang, waiting for the silver ship sent by Yan Siqi to come out. .

Sure enough, in the early morning, the three Yan Siqi's boats mysteriously loaded heavy boxes. After dawn, they left Ben Harbor. After turning around outside Ben Harbor for a while, they did not find anything abnormal, so they turned to the direction of Nanri Island.

Since Zheng Yiguan made his debut, Zheng Yiguan has been known for his courage and martial arts. With his youth and strength, he is good at using a steel knife and starting with others, he often sacrifices his life and sumo. He is very powerful, so whether under Zheng Yiguan or under Li Dan at the beginning , is very admirable.

And Zheng Yiguan's subordinates now regard Zheng python as their second head and listen to his orders. This time, the men gathered by Zheng Yiguan, after hearing what Zheng Yiguan asked them to do, they all rubbed their hands and tried their best to do a better job.

Even if it is not for Zheng Yiguan, these guys have to fight for themselves, because when Zheng Yiguan asked them to come to do this matter, they have something to say first. As long as they do a good job, they will take out some of the silver they have robbed for them this time.

It's not much, but the base is large! Yan Siqi's silver shipment to Nanri Island this time is as high as 40,000 taels, and his achievement is 4,000 taels. It is not a decimal to everyone, which can make each of them make a small fortune.

The saying that people die for money and birds die for food is a famous saying for thousands of years. The men brought by Zheng Python have already sharpened their knives at this time and made preparations for ruthlessness.

When he heard that Yan Siqi's three ships had left the stupid port and turned around and sailed towards Nanri Island, Zheng Python smiled and waved his big hand and said, "Okay! Let them go first! Let's follow them from afar and wait to go further. Let's do it!"

After hearing the order, more than a dozen Zheng Yiguan's ships immediately began to raise their sails and turn their rudders and began to travel in the direction of Nanri Island, but they were not in a hurry to catch up, but always kept a distance away from the three Yan Siqi silver ships, leaving a small boat outside their fleet, just vaguely The three ships can be seen in case of being lost. In this way, Yan Siqi's three silver ships can't find that there is such a fleet of ships that are parallel to them on their side, preparing to attack them.

After sailing for about an hour or two, the ship began to gradually leave the visible area on the shore of Taiwan Yuan Island and entered the deeper waters of the Taiwan Strait, which is no longer on the main channel. Looking up, there are basically no ships. Except for the blue sea, only the only rolling is rolling. White waves and the occasional appearance of seabirds in the sky.

Zheng Python led the fleet and began to accelerate. He rushed to the front of Yan Siqi's three ships from the side and seized the favorable wind direction. If you want to rob the ship at sea, the most important thing is to grab the wind when the speed of the ship is about the same. Only after grabbing the favorable wind direction can it be possible to rob the ship you want to rob. This As Zheng Python, who has been active at sea for many years, he is naturally very sophisticated.

After their fleet grabbed the limelight, they were already in the front position on the side of Yan Siqi's three silver carriers and basically had the conditions to start. At this time, if they rushed up, Yan Siqi's three ships had no chance to escape their pursuit.

If it is a straight-line distance from Bengang to Nanri Island, it is about three or four hundred miles away, but the sailboat is no better than ships with engines in later generations. It can sail directly to the destination in a straight line at sea. It is fine when the sailboat is windy. At this time, it is winter, and the wind direction on the sea is northwest or north wind. More, if you drive from Bengang to Nanri Island, you basically have to go against the wind.

Sailing must constantly adjust the sails and rudder on the sea and take the zigzag route, so that they can use the wind direction to provide power to the ships and enable them to travel against the wind. Chinese sailing has certain advantages in this regard, but the problem is that they bring about their navigation. The journey has increased a lot, and the speed of the ship will be slower.
