Chapter 155 Digesting the Fruit

After all, Zheng Yiguan left in a hurry. Although he also packed up some soft things on the island before leaving, he had no time to take away all the goods stored on the island. Therefore, after Ma Xiao led his troops to go to the island with Yan Siqi, he still found a large number of goods that Zheng Yiguan did not have time to take away on the island.

After a rough inventory, Zheng Yiguan left at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, but there is not much silver. Most of it is the goods they recently looted at sea, including raw silk, porcelain and other hard currency in the sea trade, and there are also a lot of wood they use to repair ships. These things are sea wolves. What is needed.

Under the instructions of Xiaotian, Ma Xiao distributed these goods on the spot, giving a considerable part of the things that could be exchanged for money to Yan Siqi and Chu Cailao, while things such as wood, Japanese red copper, cloth, etc. were left for the sea wolf for their own use.

Yan Siqi and Chu Cai have made efforts this time. If they want them to continue to follow him as their younger brother in the future, they must give them sweet food. Otherwise, the boss will eat all the meat and the younger brother can't even drink soup. Maybe they dare not say anything, but they will definitely not work hard to help you in the future.

After Yan Siqi and Chu Cailao got these goods, they were also very happy. They felt that Yu Xiaotian was really good and had a good character. He was not the kind of person who was eager to see wealth and was very considerate of his allies.

However, relatively speaking, Yan Siqi got much more than Chu Cai's old share. The reason is that Yan Siqi came here this time, and he was also the most lively and powerful to fight with Zheng Yiguan.

Compared with Yan Siqi, although Chu Cailao also sent people to help the war, he did not send too many people and ships. He only symbolically sent a small number of ships and subordinates to participate in the fight against Zheng Yiguan, so he contributed less and naturally got less.

Mr. Chu Cai has nothing to say about this. He can only secretly regret it. At the beginning, it's better to learn from Yan Siqi and come out. In this way, Zheng Yiguan can't run away, and he can also get more wealth.

Although Ma Xiao did not say anything, he also more or less secretly expressed his dissatisfaction with Chu Cai's old man, and took the responsibility of not completely taking down Zheng Yiguan this time on Chu Cai Lao's head, which made Chu Cai Lao a little uneasy about this for a long time, afraid that Yu Xiaotian would turn around and blame him.

However, Yu Xiaotian did not investigate Chu Cailao in this matter. He also sent someone to falsely thank Chu Cailao, and gave Chu Cailao a heavy naval gun that captured by the Spaniards. As a thank-you gift, this gift was really not light. A heavy gun was sold to Chu Cailao at that time. However, more than 4,000 taels of silver. Although this cannon is not as big as the Red Yi cannons of the Thai people they saw at the beginning, it is similar to the Hongyi cannons they bought before.

So after receiving this gift, Chu Cailao was even more happy. He repeatedly promised Yu Xiaotian that as long as Yu Xiaotian and the sea wolf had any instructions to him in the future, he would be willing to serve him, and he would be the head of filial piety in the future.

Although Chu Cai is old, he used to be a little big, but now immediately began to learn to hold his tail again. He is not old, but in front of Xiaotian. Now he is willing to take the first-level posture. For Xiaotian and the sea wolf, in front of Xiaotian and the sea wolf, he did not dare to show that he was also a sea master.

Yu Xiaotian is very satisfied with Chu Cai's attitude towards him at present. At least it shows that this old fur seal is not a fool. At least he knows what to do now. Although he is a little contemptuous, it fully shows that this Chu Cai is a smart person and knows how to steer the wind, otherwise he will not be Being able to run at sea for so many years is also an evergreen tree on the sea at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

In history, if it hadn't been for the rise of Zheng Yiguan and the death of Chu Cailao, Chu Cailao would not have been desperate and fight with Zheng Yiguan until it led to his complete destruction.

In addition, after this battle, the sea wolf still has a considerable gain, that is, Zheng Yiguan's many subordinates who fought saw that Zheng Yiguan had no future, one after another chose to defect or break up with Zheng Yiguan, and pulled a group of people and ships to work alone.

And a considerable number of people, with boats and his men, chose to defect to the Seawolf Group. Few people defected to Chu Cailao and Yan Siqi's men, because these people are all elites. They can clearly understand who is the real boss on the coast of Fujian now. Since they are looking for another way out, they naturally have to choose Gao Zhi to climb. This is called a good bird that chooses wood to live.

This time, Ma Xiao collected a total of 4050 boats of various colors under Zheng Yiguan in the area of Penghu, and also collected nearly 1,000 people under Zheng Yiguan.

These ships were immediately sent back to Nanri Island by Ma Xiao and handed over to Yu Xiaotian for punishment. Because the sea wolf has strict regulations, no one is allowed to recruit or recruit their subordinates without authorization. All ships and fleets, including soldiers, must be sent to them through Yu Xiaotian when they need to increase their manpower. Send personnel.

Unless there are special reasons, they can act cheaply. At the beginning, Blackhead organized some natives into some auxiliary soldiers in Keelung Fort, which was also approved after Yu Xiaotian's consent and filing in the prison hall. However, in the end, after proving that these native auxiliary soldiers were indeed useful, these auxiliary soldiers, It still needs to be disassembled and assigned to various places for reorganizing.

Through this centralized management method, Yu Xiaotian put an end to the private expansion of the number of his subordinates and the formation of small groupization. Finally, some people formed a situation that could not be lost after their wings.

In addition, Yu Xiaotian firmly controls the logistics supply under his hand. All the weapons of the sea wolf are centrally produced, and then allocated and distributed as needed. Even the weapons captured in wartime must first be included in the board of directors, and then after selection, they should leave available weapons and redeploy them. In this way, some people want to If you split up, you can take away a boat at most, but the supply of weapons will be completely cut off.

Now, after getting used to using the new cannons and *, if they cut off their supply and let them return to the past and use shabby weapons, it is estimated that they will not be used to it. Even if they split up and take away some people and ships, they want to develop. Even if they can get a man and boat, they can't get such a new weapon, and their strength can't be greatly improved.

Therefore, under the control of Xiaotian, it is difficult to form the next small power groups, and all the power is in his hands, which can ensure the sufficient stability of his group.

Yu Xiaotian already has mature experience in dealing with these new subordinates of Zheng Yiguan under his command. He first warmly hosted the old departments of Zheng Yiguan, and then offered them a few conditions.

First, he is willing to price their ships, give money to these shipowners, and buy their ships, and their men will also take over. After retraining, they will arrange another place to go.

Second, if they don't want to sell their ships and still want to keep their ships, it's okay, but they and their personnel on the ship must also undergo a selection and retraining before they can be included in the fleet, but they can't be included in the fleet, they can only be in the merchant fleet first. Medium service.

Such conditions made some of the new leaders of Zheng Yiguan feel quite embarrassed. They originally thought that they could keep their ships and subordinates after coming here, so that at least they still have only control over the subordinates and ships they brought.

But now the conditions given to them by Yu Xiaotian are clear that they are not allowed to do so. Since they have come here, they must be completely integrated into the sea wolf system. If the ships are sold to sea wolves at a price, they will no longer have a reason to continue to control these ships. Their subordinates will be re-screened, selected and trained, and then they will be placed separately. , which also made them lose control of these men.

Even if they don't sell their boats and continue to keep their boats, they can't enter the sea wolf's sailors and can only be used as merchant ships. If they continue like this, they won't have much future.

Now Yu Xiaotian has made it clear that he wants to eat them, but he doesn't want to look too ugly. He puts forward these two and let them choose. As long as these people are not stupid, they will know how to choose.

Since they have come, it must not work if they want to leave again. Even if Yu Xiaotian wants them to leave, they dare not think about where they can go. As long as they leave here with their men and ships, it is equivalent to continuing to oppose him and the sea wolf. I guess they will not run far, and they will be sea wolf's ships. Block it, I'm afraid that the sea wolf will no longer be so polite to them as it is now.

The sea wolf is now trying to destroy several boats at sea, which is not as easy as pinching the ants. It is estimated that they will not even have a hair left at that time.

So after hesitating for a while, the original leaders of this group of newly defected Zheng Yiguan said one by one that they were willing to give the ship to Yu Xiaotian, and they were also willing to follow Yu Xiaotian's arrangement.

However, Yu Xiaotian did not want them to give the ship to him for nothing, but still ordered the board of directors to inspect and evaluate the ships they brought, and the valuation given was also reasonable. Then, according to the valuation, the council gave the money to these leaders who brought the boat.
