Chapter 264 Unidentified Ship

The news of the sea wolf's defeat of Chu Cailao quickly spread throughout Fujian and even farther along the coast. People familiar with Chu Cailao all looked at it and were shocked.

Because few people living along the coast do not know Chu Cai Lao's notoriety, many fishermen on the coast even use the name of Chu Cai Lao to scare disobedient children, saying that if they are no longer disobedient, Chu Cai Lao will come to arrest them, which shows how old Chu Cai's notoriety is.

But I didn't expect that this old Chu Cai would still be depleted. Even the government had nothing to do with this guy, but today he fell into the hands of a little-known colleague.

So this incident immediately caused an uproar in Fujian, and it was rumored everywhere.

After the end of the war on Nanri Island, Yu Xiaotian is really busy. Nanri Island will carry out all kinds of aftermath after the war, as well as all kinds of businesses that have been suspended due to Chu Cai's old, and all kinds of immortals who can't cope with will come to congratulate, and arrange their hands to receive the results of the war. .

Although the sea wolf was attacked by defense and did not take the initiative to attack Chu Cai's nest, on the surface, the result of the battle was just capturing a group of ships, capturing a group of Chu Cailao's men, and capturing some property and weapons, but in essence, these gains are only the tip of the iceberg of all the results.

In fact, there are more hidden interests under this. After the end of the war, the sea wolf execution hall learned all the shopkeepers and troops brought by Chu Cailao through the torture and torture of the prisoners.

In the war between the island and the sea, more than a dozen large and small shopkeepers brought by Chu Cailao were killed and captured alive in this war, damaging nearly half of them.

In fact, each of these shopkeepers who work under Mr. Chu Cai is an independent pirate, but nominally under the jurisdiction of Mr. Chu Cai. In fact, they usually do their own, and each has their own nests. They are not gathered by Mr. Chu Cai.

However, after this war, more than half of these shopkeepers lost, and their subordinates were killed and arrested by sea wolves. Those who had big lives fled in the chaos, which also caused many pirate groups to disperse. How could Yu Xiaotian miss such a good opportunity? Of course, he sent them as soon as he learned the news. His men took the fleet to the nests of these captured or killed pirates to pick the fruits of victory.

These old men are usually scattered in Chaozhou, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and other coastal islands or some places on the shore. Now their shopkeepers are gone. This is the time for sea wolves to seize these sites.

So Yu Xiaotian sent a fleet of Hu as the leader. Shortly after the end of the war, he immediately went south to the big island in Quanzhou Bay, stopped there, swept Chu Cai Lao Xingsan's men on the sea around Quanzhou, officially took over the sea of Quanzhou, and let him continue to explore south according to the situation. It can expand the sea actually controlled by the sea wolf to the south and encroach on Chu Cai's sphere of influence.

If possible, he is going to strike while the iron is hot. After dealing with the post-war events on Nanri Island, he will personally lead the main ships and subordinates of the sea wolf to go south and go straight to Dongshan Island to find Chu Cai Lao's bad luck. It is better to simply pull out Chu Cai Lao's nest on Dongshan Island. In this way, The whole coastal sea of Fuzhou basically fell under the control of his sea wolves.

However, Lin Yiyang and the people of the director's hall did not support the plan he proposed. The main reason is that although Chu Cailao escaped this defeat and suffered huge losses, he must be unable to come back to their sea wolf trouble in a short period of time, but it does not represent Chu Cailao's battle. He was completely broken and became a dead snake, at the mercy of Xiaotian.

After all, Chu Cai is an old thief who has been on the sea for a long time. His potential strength has not been consumed much because of this battle, and this guy is very cunning. If Yu Xiaotian immediately leads his troops south to attack his Dongshan Island, he will definitely take Dongshan Island. Chu Cai Lao will never fight with Yu Xiaotian again in Dongshan Island.

With Chu Cai's old style, he will definitely abandon Dongshan Island immediately and turn it into zero and run to other places to hide temporarily. However, with the connections he has accumulated over so many years, this guy will definitely make a comeback and deal with the sea wolf in a short time.

The most critical reason for these subordinates is not whether they can solve Chu Cai's old problem, but that after this war, the sea wolf must digest the results of this war. At present, the sea wolf has controlled such a large sea from the north of Quanzhou Bay to the south of the big fishing bay in southern Zhejiang.

However, the number of sea wolves is only 2,000 or 3,000, some of whom are scattered in Danshui Village, Jilong Village, Shuangfeng Island and other places, and there is not enough manpower at all.

Although there are only a lot of ships at present, coupled with the 200 large and small boats captured in this war, there are many boats, but there are not enough people, especially the newly captured ships, which can't match them with sailors at all. Although the number of such ships is quite large, it is real However, it doesn't have much combat effectiveness.

Therefore, in Lin Yiyang's view, Xiaotian's current priority is not to rush to go to Dongshan Island to find the trouble of Mr. Chu Cai, but to digest the results of this battle as soon as possible, step up the recruitment of the masses, expand their strength, and steadily control these sites first, so as not to cause the territory to be too big but unable to advance. Effective control.

After listening to Lin Yiyang's words, Yu Xiaotian calmed down and thought about it carefully. He felt that what Lin Yiyang said was indeed reasonable. Now because he constantly invested his financial resources in Danshui Village, Chicken Cage Village, Nanri Island Workshop and immigration, he focuses on making various weapons and ships, but for the expansion of personnel There has never been enough support.

At present, he controls such a large sea area, but before the battle, there were only more than 70 ships. When these ships gathered together, they seemed to be a lot, but once they were scattered into the sea under their control, they seemed very weak.

Moreover, the number of sailors is not very sufficient, and the manpower reserve is so limited that he has captured dozens of old ships, but due to the lack of manpower, he can't immediately turn them into his own strength, so he can only temporarily park them in the bay and wait for the replenishment of manpower.

Now he wants to expand to Nanjing University and even extend his hand to Guangdong. Although he will not return, even if he can capture Dongshan Island, he may not be able to kill Chu Cai's old fox, and because his troops are seriously dispersed, with the current means of communication, in his carrier pigeon Before it was officially put into use, he was unable to control such a large area.

With the model he is currently adopting, he is required to have strong enough control over the territory he has occupied. Otherwise, once Mr. Chu Cai or others take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble on the territory under his control, and he does not have enough strength to If he responds, his reputation will be greatly damaged.

So if you want stability now, it may be better to digest the results obtained so far than he rushing south, which is also the main reason why Lin Yiyang and some of his men consider it.

In order to take some risks or not, Xiaotian directly sent troops to Dongshan Island, and then continued to knock on Chu Cailao and beat a water dog. One piece of news made Yu Xiaotian decide to postpone going south, changed his strategy and decided to recruit a large number of people to improve his strength.

This news came from the black head of Jilongzhai, which was because Xiaotian concentrated all his strength. When he fought with Chu Cailao in Nanri Island, something happened in Jilong Bay.

In fact, this matter is not a big deal. Around mid-March, two Western-style sailboats suddenly appeared near Chickenlong wan in the north of Taiwan Island.

As soon as these two Western-style sailboats appeared in the sea off Jilong Bay, they were immediately discovered by the sea wolves guarding the chicken cage and reported to the black head sitting in Jilong Bay.

When Blackhead learned the news, he immediately led the ship out of Chickenlong wan and found the two Western-style big sailboats on the sea. They were slowly sailing along the coastline of Taiyuan Island, so Blackhead ordered his men to raise the sea wolf flag and sail to the two Western-style sailboats to observe their whereabouts nearby.

They didn't know the black head of the flag hanging on the two Western sailboats, so they tried to ask the crew of the two Thais. What did they do here?

However, these two Western sailboats seemed to be very vigilant and arrogant at the same time. They ignored the blackhead's questioning at all. They never contacted the blackheads, and even made a hostile gesture, opening the turret on the side of the ship's side, revealing a black hole in the turret.

The blackhead saw that the other party seemed to be unintentionally, and found that the two Western-style sailboats were relatively large, and there were many artillery on the ship, so he did not dare to clash with them easily. He could only keep alert to them from afar. At the same time, he ordered the forts in Chicken Cage Bay to prepare to prevent unexpected hair.

Blackhead is no longer the reckless young descendant a few years ago. Now he has grown into a very important leader among sea wolves. He sits in Jilong Bay, the key place of sea wolves. His vision is much wider than when he was in Xiaohuangdao.

He found that these two Thai sailboats, no matter the size of the hull or the number of guns on the ship, were comparable to his current ship. Even with the several ships sent by Yu Xiaotian here to him, they were not necessarily the opponents of the two ships.

These two Western-style sailboats are three-masted. They use standard Western-style soft sails, including the bow. The hull is tall, and there are gun doors on both sides of the starboard. Roughly, these two ships are loaded with at least a dozen cannons. The size of the specific cannon is unknown, but it can still be felt. The pressure brought to them by this kind of ship.

So blackheads have to act carefully and dare not turn against them easily. They can only be careful and keep a distance from them to avoid conflict.
