Chapter 40 Single Dry

However, Zheng Yiguan's wishes were completely dispersed by Yu Xiaotian's fleet that suddenly appeared. Yu Xiaotian's fleet not only spoiled his good deeds, but also fought against his men. He sent Zheng Python to take more than a dozen boats. Three or 400 brothers went there, but he was beaten by the sea wolf in the face, leaving only one to beat him. Zheng Python fled back with two or three scarred boats. The rest of the ships were beaten and sank by the sea wolf, and even Zheng Python was almost killed by them on the spot.

After listening to Zheng Python's crying, Zheng Yiguan wanted to vomit blood on the spot and hated Yu Xiaotian home.

He scolded in the big tent. At first, he was impulsive and planned to gather all his forces and simply fight with Yu Xiaotian to compete with who was powerful on both sides.

This is something that Zheng Yiguan didn't dare to think of before, because he used to be the little leader of Li Dan and Yan Siqi, and his strength could not compete with Yu Xiaotian's sea wolves at all, but now he is different. He almost took over all the plates of Li Dan and put Li Dan's men into his bag. Now listen There are more than 10,000 people for him, and there are more than 400 ships. Seeing the whole coast of Daming, his strength is also quite huge.

Therefore, Zheng Yiguan thought that he had the ability to fight against the sea wolf head-on, so he dared to fight with Yu Xiaotian.

But when he calmed down a little, he immediately gave up the idea, because Zheng Yiguan was a very smart person, and he immediately realized that now was not the time to compete with the sea wolf.

The reason is very simple. At present, although he is already very strong on the surface, he is actually not as powerful as the sea wolf, because he has just taken over Li Dan's plate and has not been able to fully control all his men. It can be said that he is still unstable at present. At this time, he summoned his hands to fight against the sea wolf. It is self-destruction.

As a new boss, when his foothold is unstable, it is the most important thing to let his subordinates follow him to taste the sweetness and subdue the hearts of his subordinates, instead of immediately taking his men down to fight with others. In that case, I'm afraid that once he suffers losses, his subordinates will immediately overturn him as an old man. Big, it is not unexpected for a bird and beast to disperse and surrender to Yu Xiaotian on the spot and turn around to deal with him.

After all, Yu Xiaotian sea wolf is famous. At present, its reputation in Fujian can be said to be the sun. Even the government is a headache, and it has been registered in the imperial court. What's more, the sea wolf can cast its own cannons, and the ship is also famous for its strong artillery. The sea wolves are brave and good at fighting, which is even more popular. Tao.

Now many colleagues along the coast of Fujian have fallen into his hands, and even the officers and sailors have been beaten by them. Now he is going to fight with the sea wolf. Obviously, even if he does not hit the stone with a pebble, the possibility of winning is extremely small, but the possibility of being beaten by the sea wolf is quite certain.

Zheng Yiguan has never seen the scene when the sea wolf fleet competes with people. He is not sure how powerful the sea wolf fleet is, but this time Zheng Python has a strong match with the sea wolf. At that time, the strength of the two sides was basically similar, and even the number of ships on Zheng Python's side still has an advantage, but Still beaten by the sea wolf has no power to fight back.

More than a dozen boats were almost destroyed by the sea wolf, but according to Zheng Python, they basically did not cause much damage to the sea wolf.

There are many cannons in the sea wolf fleet, which are far away and fiercely. Zheng's men are being beaten by the other party at all. They have no power to fight back. It can be said that they have been completely abused by the other party, which makes Zheng Yiguan even more afraid of the sea wolf and knows the power of the sea wolf.

Although Zheng Yiguan hated Yu Xiaotian to the extreme at this time, once he calmed down, he still did not dare to gather his men to find Yu Xiaotian for revenge.

So Zheng Yiguan sat down and began to discuss with his subordinates what to do next.

Now Zheng Yiguan has also set up a whole team, and there are many so-called counselors under him. So these people quickly express their opinions and give advice to Zheng Yiguan.

Some people proposed that since the sea wolf and Yan Siqi can find a place to gain a foothold on Taiyuan Island, Zheng Yiguan can also find a place to land on Taiwan Yuan Island, following the example of Yan Siqi at the beginning. While building a village, they also have a large number of immigrants from the land to obtain a stable rear base.

However, these people's proposal was immediately opposed by others, because they think that since the sea wolf and Yan Siqi have gained a foothold on Taiwan Yuan Island, it is obviously unwise to enclose the land on Taiwan Yuan Island now.

Because now there are sea wolves occupying chicken cages and freshwater in the north, and Yan Siqi occupying Bengang in the south, if Zheng Yiguan goes to Taiwan Yuan Island to build a village, this location may not be easy to choose.

If they choose to build a village between Bengang and Tamsui River, they may be attacked by the sea wolf and Yan Siqi in the north and south. At that time, they may not be able to look at each other at the beginning and end, and will eventually be forced away by them.

But if it continues to go south, now the red-haired people have occupied the area of the members, and a red-haired city has been built, and another red-haired city is still being built in another place.

In this way, it is bound to conflict with the red-haired people, and the red-haired people will not agree that Zheng Yiguan will make such a piece of land on the side of their couch.

These opponents proposed that they are still tossing around on Taiwan Member Island now, so it's better to go back to the coast of Daming to find a place to do a big job.

Zheng Yiguan's ancestral home is Zhangzhou, and now many of his subordinates are in the Zhangquan area. They are most familiar with the situation there. Although there are still Chu Cailao there, and there are also sea wolves in Quanzhou, but at present, the sea around Quanzhou is not completely controlled by sea wolves, and the situation is relatively easy to open. .

So they might as well go directly to Zhangquan to find an island to stand first, which is also convenient for coastal plundering and merchants at sea, making it more convenient to obtain manpower and materials from land.

After considering these two opinions put forward by his men, Zheng Yiguan thought that the second one was still very reasonable. At present, he and Yan Siqi completely fell out and had a head-on conflict with the sea wolf. Obviously, it is not a good choice to stay on Taiyuan Island.

Although Taiwan Yuan Island is not too far from the mainland, it still has hundreds of miles, and it will take two or three days or more to go back and forth. Although it has the advantage of being far away from the emperor, it is not very convenient to act.

However, the idea proposed by the men to find a place to settle in Zhangquan is still feasible.

Although Chu Cailao exists, Chu Cailao has suffered huge losses in terms of reputation and strength after the defeat of Nanri Island. It is no longer worrying that he has not recovered in the past year.

With his current strength, if he works with Mr. Chu Cai, he is quite sure that he can squeeze Mr. Chu out of this territory, and he is also most familiar with the situation of Fujian officers and soldiers. Fujian sailors have just been repaired by sea wolves. Now his morale is low, the number of warships is limited, and the officers and soldiers are rotten, which can't stop him at all. Activities around Zhangquan.

So he chose the latter and decided to find a place to move around Zhangquan next, but it was a little troublesome to choose exactly where to be their future nest.

Finally, after discussion, Zheng Yiguan still decided to choose the location of their old camp in Ludao in Quanzhou, that is, Xiamen in later generations, and Jinmen Island.

There are many reasons why he chose Ludao and Kinmen Island. First of all, in terms of territorial terms, the two islands are relatively large in area, and there are fresh water and safe havens for them to use. More importantly, these two islands are located on the coastal route, which is extremely convenient for them to plunder at sea and convenient. They obtain human and material resources from land.

Another reason is that the military equipment along the coast of Fujian is now abandoned. Although there were acropolis and water villages on Lu Island and Jinmen Island during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, by this time, the guardhouses of the two places have already existed in name only, and it does not take too much effort to occupy it.

One more thing is that there is some personal reason. Li Dan has a friend named Xu Xinsu, who has a good relationship with Li Dan. For so many years, he has cooperated with Li Dan and done business at sea. This person is a famous man in Quanzhou and controls a large number of silk transactions.

However, Xu Xinsu and Zheng Yiguan had been prowd because of some small things before. Xu Xinsu once secretly said to Li Dan that Zheng Yiguan was not available. Although he was not valued by Li Dan, he offended Zheng Yiguan to death. Zheng Yiguan remembered Xu Xinsu's bad words and had long planned to revenge one day. This guy.

In the past, Li Dan was not dead, and he had no choice but to deal with Xu Xinsu, but now that Li Dan is dead and the plate has been taken over by him, then he has the ability to clean up Xu Xinsu.

Although Xu Xinsu has done a lot of business and has also worked part-time in some pirate business over the years, after all, he is mainly engaged in business and his strength is not very strong. As long as he kills him, he can hold the raw silk transaction around Quanzhou. At present, raw silk is undoubtedly one of the favorite commodities of Thai people and can earn money every year. Take a large amount of silver.

So for various purposes, Zheng Yiguan finally chose to enter the next step to enter the Quanzhou area, and he intends to greatly expand his strength after standing firmly in the Quanzhou area. Sooner or later, he will let Yu Xiaotian see his power.
