Chapter 97 Sneer

Hearing Yu Xiaotian's question, Lin Yiyang quickly continued: "My subordinates have carefully reviewed what Zhu Yifeng has done since he took office. After taking office, on the one hand, he has rectified the government of officials, and on the other hand, he has vigorously checked the money and grain in the treasury and the treasury of various prefectures, recovered the shortage in each treasury, and questioned some officials. Some officials were also arrested and questioned. In the past few months, it is said that the money and grain in the warehouses in various places have increased greatly.

And recently, after more money and grain in the warehouse, Zhu Yifeng allocated 60,000 taels of silver from the treasury to several iron fields around Zhangquan, which made the two prefectures supervise the Hongyi cannons, purchased a total of 46 Hongyi cannons, and cast a large number of Franco machine guns and other artillery. It is estimated that the total will not be three. Hundreds.

At the same time, Zhu Yifeng also revitalized the navy, ordered the coastal prefectures to allocate silver to repair the water villages in various places, and allocated a batch of artillery for it. He also raised 80,000 taels of silver from the vassal warehouses and local government warehouses, and built a batch of new warships in the coastal ships to supplement the water villages.

also allocated some money to the sailors, made up for part of the arrears, and recruited pawns to expand the scale of the sailors.

Recently, Zhu Yifeng has also visited Fubiao among the officers and towns many times, inspecting the school soldiers to train troops, and personally watch the test firearms.

Judging from Zhu Yifeng's actions, my subordinates thought that Zhu Yifeng did not put us aside, but secretly accumulated strength, but he was not yet mature, so he would not make any statement!"

Yu Xiaotian frowned and said, "A dog that doesn't bark bites people! Although Zhu Yifeng has a good reputation as an official, he is quite scheming. I do not deny that this person is a backbone official, and I also deeply admire him.

But from our point of view, it is not a good thing for such a person to be a governor in Fujian! If we are a corrupt official, we can spend some money to dredge, but it is useless for such a person to spend money!

If he does these things now, then he can roughly understand what he wants to do. I'm afraid that he will not gather silver grain, repair war equipment, order school soldiers and horses, and build warships for the sake of face. How many civil servants today will pay so much attention to strengthening the army?

So according to you, I'm afraid that Zhu Yifeng is very likely to prepare for the next step to suppress us!"

Lin Yiyang nodded worriedly and said, "I'm afraid that's right, but we have no countermeasures at the time!"

Yu Xiaotian stood up angrily, walked back and forth in the room, and said angrily, "These officials are really full!" Although I am a thief, I haven't done anything evil!

The government does not think about the sea, and the sailors are abandoned. I should restore the order for him. I should give them a lot of filial piety. I also let the place calm down, and I don't easily attack the coast. I don't violate the river with the government, but these officials have to trouble me!

Don't they know that it costs money to kill people in a war? If I am an unforgiving person, it's okay. They should come to suppress it together, but I emigrated to the fields, opened up Taiwan, and lived countless lives. Even if I have killed some people, most of them are the people who should be killed!

They are really idle and want to come to trouble me!

Zhu Qinxiang came, and Zhu Yifeng came. The one in front of him was a fool, but this newcomer was a dumb dog! If they do it this time, I'm afraid it won't be as easy to deal with as last time!"

"Exact! My subordinates are also worried about this matter. After Zhu Yifeng's rectification for such a period of time, Fujian officers and soldiers will definitely have more results and their strength will increase greatly. As long as they send troops to us this time, I'm afraid it will not be as easy to deal with as last time! So please make a plan as soon as possible!" Lin Yiyang stood up and bowed his hand and said to Xiaotian.

"In this case, I will give him a preemptive! Destroy a few of his water villages first, and let them know how powerful I am!" Yu Xiaotian was a little upset. Now is the critical time. He didn't want to have any big conflict with the government, but Zhu Yifeng secretly rectified the ordnance warship. Although he did not indicate that he wanted to fight his sea wolf, it put a lot of pressure on him. The Spaniards in front of him could not come to Taipei. He doesn't know about the matter. On the one hand, he has to be prepared, but the government is making small moves and may come to trouble him at any time, so he wants to knock on the government first to make them calm down.

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate! Nowadays, although Zhu Yifeng has repaired his war tools, he has not mentioned that he wants to conquer us, and now we are not the only one on the coast of Fujian. In addition, Zheng Yiguan and Chu Cailao have been doing very frequent activities recently.

If the big head sent troops to attack the officer's water camp at this time, wouldn't it just give the government a word of mouth? Lin Yiyang disagreed with Yu Xiaotian to take the initiative to provoke Zhu Yifeng now and immediately persuaded him.

Yu Xiaotian looked at Lin Yiyang unplealy and asked, "Then shall we sit and wait for the officers and soldiers to come and fight us?"

Lin Yiyang smiled bitterly and said, "There's nothing we can do about this! Originally, if we don't move recently, there is no truth that the officers and soldiers will come to fight us. If Zhu Yifeng wants to move troops, there will be some resistance. After all, many officials in Fujian have eaten us and taken us, and they don't want to see us being suppressed by the officers and soldiers, so they will lose a piece of income.

So after Zhu Yifeng took office, he did not mention sending troops to suppress us, but after a while, if he wanted to send troops, someone would dissuade him.

But if we attack the shore now, Zhu Yifeng will have a good reputation. At that time, his teacher will become famous, and it will be inconvenient for ordinary people to dissuade him!

So at present, we have no better way. We can only sit and wait and train more troops while we are not available for the time being, so that we can protect ourselves once the officers and soldiers come to suppress it!"

Yu Xiaotian sneered and said, "It's not that I look down on Zhu Yifeng. Although he has been busy repairing weapons, building war ships, and recruiting horses, but according to the level of officers and soldiers, it was probably possible for them to destroy me two years ago, but now... Humph!

If Zhu Yifeng wants to say that he is a good official, I don't want to give the Wei Party in the court an excuse to dismiss him, but if Zhu Yifeng doesn't know the current affairs and wants to come to trouble me, then I don't mind letting him follow in Zhu Qinxiang's footsteps!"

Lin Yiyang was also quite pleased with Xiaotian's confidence. He had seen the power of the sea wolf people with his own eyes. At the beginning, thousands of old Chu Cai came to attack Nanri Island, and hundreds of soldiers in the sea wolf village area blocked Chu Cai's men from attacking the city, and the sailors almost attacked the city. Cai Lao's fleet hit the whole army.

And he saw with his own eyes the organization and discipline of the sea wolf army. These things are by no means what ordinary peers and officers and soldiers have been completely abandoned. Over the years, whether in Fujian or Guangdong, there are many pirates, but the government has not completely eliminated several Pirates, even if they have wiped out a few pirates, are also some weak pirates.

And the pirates repeatedly attacked and harassed the land, and even attacked the deep land. The officers and soldiers could not show anything. Often, after watching the pirates go ashore and plundered, the officers and soldiers came late, and then watched the pirates Yang Fan leave on the shore. The rest was followed on the shore after the pirates left. Then he found a few exiles or something, cut off their heads, and used them to impersonate them to get credit.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Yu Xiaotian to despise the officers and soldiers so much. Let alone say that the sea wolf is too strong, the officers and soldiers are really too rotten these days, so even if Zhu Yifeng Li soldiers and horses come to suppress the sea wolf in the end, it is estimated that it will still be difficult to take advantage of the sea wolf.

What's more, since last year, Sea Wolf has recruited a large number of troops and expanded their troops, and their strength has greatly increased. In addition, the division * to Danshui and Keelung's artillery, gunning, gunpowder workshops and boat houses have been put into production before the year. In the past year, Sea Wolf has added a large number of weapons, at least more than the war with Chu Cai Lao last year. More than double, it is basically impossible to destroy the sea wolf with the troops that Fujian can now mobilize.

And the sea wolf is not only on Nanri Island now. The old camp of the sea wolf is still on Nanri Island in the name, but most of the basic things have been moved to Tamsui and Keelung Fort. Even now Zhu Yifeng comes to suppress Nanri Island. Yu Xiaotian doesn't want to fight with them. At worst, he will The Dazhai of Nanri Island caught fire, and it's enough to take people to retreat to Danshui. The officers and soldiers still have nothing to do with them. After all, Taiwan Yuandao is not now under the jurisdiction of the Ming court.

Time is busy and often passes very fast. After returning to Nanri Island, Yu Xiaotian did not stop at all. With the introduction of several new flying-shaped fast ships in Nanri Island, the news came from Danshuizhai Ship House, saying that the platform over there used a platform to board two boats at the same time, in 123 Six flying-shaped fastboats were boarded together on the platform.

Moreover, the freshwater ship also began to adopt the method of standardized production to unify the ribs, shipboards and other important parts of prefabricated ships. After starting shipbuilding, they are immediately used directly on the ship, which greatly improves the efficiency of production, so that the speed of shipbuilding can be doubled and the manpower is more sufficient. To take advantage of

So Yu Xiaotian ordered Nanri Island Shipliao to temporarily stop building new flying-shaped fast ships. With a group of sailors, they began to pull a three-masted Dafu ship to the platform and began to drill into the cabin and to tosss.
