Chapter 183 Pearl River Eskou Carnival Day

The reason why Zheng Yiguan was able to escape was that he knew too much about the sea wolf. When he found that the fire fleet could not work, he was ready to escape at the first time. When Liu Xiang led the pirates to rush up to fight with the sea wolf, he took his men and deliberately slowed down. It fell behind.

When the pirates were maimed by the sea wolf fleet, he ordered to start breaking through and escape. Although he was later bitten by some sea wolf ships and killed more than a dozen of his ships, his main force finally escaped.

In the pirate alliance, Zheng Yiguan's fleet has the best equipment quality. He has several large splint ships on hand. Although they are all old ships, they are equipped with a lot of artillery, and their firepower is still quite strong. Several sea wolves' flying fast boats tried to bite his main warships, but in the end only Only one was sunk, but three flying fastships were injured by their fire.

Therefore, only Zheng Yiguan, who came to fight with Yu Xiaotian this time, finally maintained a relatively complete combat power and successfully left the battlefield. The rest suffered heavy losses. Liu Xiang, as the leader of the alliance, simply came to a dead end in this battle. If he hadn't picked up a rogue later and confessed After Liu Xiang's death, Yu Xiaotian could not confirm that Liu Xiang had been killed by him.

Seeing that it was getting late, the remaining pirates had fled from Daya Bay and scattered birds and beasts. Yu Xiaotian no longer asked for pursuit and gave orders to the one-eyed dragon to take a rest.

The sea wolf fleet rested in Daya Bay for more than ten days before completely taking the results. Among the islands in Daya Bay, several important islands were controlled by sea wolves, including several fishing villages along the coast, were also controlled by sea wolves.

Although the fishermen in these fishing villages live a very hard life, most of the fishermen are linked with pirates, so these fishermen were all arrested by Yu Xiaotian in the name of thieves and sent to Taiwan for resettlement.

As for the original fishing villages, they were replaced by sea wolves and took control of the whole area of Daya Bay.

In addition, this time they captured a large number of pirates and screened and interrogated them, which also took up their manpower and time.

There are many pirate leaders among these pirates, and even the big shopkeepers. They have a lot of information, which is particularly important for Xiaotian, because it is absolutely impossible for these pirates to bring a lot of money to fight with sea wolves.

They each have their own nest owners, and each has their own old camps or places to hide their wealth. If they don't dig out the news from their mouths as soon as possible, these goods are likely to be transferred in the future, which will benefit others in vain.

So Yu Xiaotian let the intelligence department directly participate in the interrogation. These intelligence personnel can be said to be ruthless and began to torture these guys without mercy, and soon squeezed them clean and sorted out a large amount of useful information.

Some of the important information even involves many famous gentry and officials on the land, as well as many military generals in Guangdong.

Yu Xiaotian valued this information very much and asked the intelligence department to compile it separately and keep it as a secret. Sooner or later, he will use this information. As for the owners of these pirates, Yu Xiaotian will be busy for some time in the future. .

The harvest this time is not on how many prisoners and ships they have captured, nor how many weapons and ammunition they have captured. The most important harvest is this information. In the future, as long as you take this information and follow the map, you can dig out a considerable amount of wealth.

As soon as Liu Xiang died, his men naturally dispersed as birds and beasts. Liu Xiang's troops in the Pearl River mouth also quickly collapsed. Zheng Yiguan took the opportunity to take in many of Liu Xiang's old parts, immediately made up for his losses in Daya Bay, and even took the opportunity to expand a lot of strength.

However, Zheng Yiguan did not dare to take over the Pearl River Estake area. After hurriedly collected a large number of scattered pirates and ships, he hurriedly took his men, loaded up what they had gained this year, and fled south, because Zheng Yiguan knew that Yu Xiaotian would immediately go south.

If he continues to stay in the mouth of the Pearl River, he is simply waiting to die. Yu Xiaotian's fleet is really terrible. Even if he has increased his strength in a short period of time by collecting the remnants of the scattered pirates, he absolutely does not have the ability to defeat Yu Xiaotian's fleet.

The technical difference between the two sides is really too big. This can no longer be made up by the gap by the number of people and the number of ships. Zheng Yiguan does have the courage to break his wrists. Even if he is determined to give up the territory he has worked hard for over the years and directly take his subordinates and fleets, he went south to Guangxi. The coast.

Zheng Yiguan was really afraid of Yu Xiaotian. This time when he saw Yu Xiaotian's sea wolf fleet again, he suddenly found that although he had worked very hard over the years, his footsteps did not stop, and they developed faster than him. Now all of the sea wolf fleets have been replaced by new ships, and And the quality of the loaded artillery is far better than ever.

Not to mention that he completely defeated the sea wolf fleet. Even if the fleet only dispatched one-third of its strength, I'm afraid he has no chance of winning. If Yu Xiaotian continues to take these fleets south, then he will be the next Liu Xiang, waiting for him to destroy the regiment.

So whether he is willing or unwilling, he can only admit defeat. The next thing he should consider is to take these men and escape to somewhere. Anyway, Guangxi will not be safe. This time, Yu Xiaotian was ordered by Xiong Wencan to completely suppress the pirate forces along the coast of Guangdong and Guangxi. Yu Xiaotian will never only go there. At the mouth of the Pearl River, stop going south.

So Zheng Yiguan sadly found that there seemed to be no place for him to stand on the coast of the Ming Dynasty. Once Yu Xiaotian Bingfeng pointed straight to the coastal area of Leizhou, Guangxi, he only had one way left, that is, to go to the southern ocean, find a place there, and continue to do his business.

Although Zheng Yiguan was not caught this time, it is more or less a pity for Xiaotian, but now Zheng Yiguan is in Xiaotian's mind and has long lost his position. Although Zheng Yiguan is a capable person, his Yu Xiaotian himself is the biggest bug in this era. With him, there will be no Zheng Yiguan's city. Field,

Although I have to admit that Zheng Yiguan is indeed a personal talent, this person always wants to be his enemy and cannot be used for him, and there are great defects in this person's personality. From his history of surrender to the Qing Dynasty, we can see the speculation in his personality. Daming gave him everything he could give him, but in the end he chose to surrender to Manqing. Even his wife was forced to die by the Qing army, he turned a blind eye and wanted to hug the new master's thigh.

So even if this kind of person is willing to use it for him, he will never use it, because Zheng Yiguan's character is destined that even if he surrenders to Xiaotian, sooner or later, he will betray Xiaotian because of his interests.

There is only one result for Yu Xiaotian's treatment of Zheng Yiguan, that is, to kill him and never leave any future trouble.

The news of the victory in Daya Bay soon spread to all parts of Guangdong. Of course, Xiong Wencan, as the governor of Guangdong, learned the news as soon as possible.

So Xiong Wencan sent someone to wish Yu Xiaotian a victory, and quickly reported the news of the great victory to the court. This is a big deal. Now the Ming Dynasty is smoking everywhere. Such a great victory is undoubtedly a good news for Daming to boost morale, so Xiong Wencan did not dare to delay and immediately sent the news. People quickly added whips and rushed to the capital.

Yu Xiaotian himself doesn't care much about these so-called rewards and rewards for a long time. This time, his purpose is very simple, that is, to completely seize the coastal areas of Guangdong and Guangxi, and completely control Daming's foreign business roads. As long as the south is not chaotic, this sea trade will bring him a huge amount of money every year. Then he has the ability to arm more soldiers and horses and reserve more food.

More than ten days after the end of the Battle of Daya Bay, the sea wolf's fleet began to go south again. In the mouth of the Pearl River, it has been completely messed up these days. In the past, when Liu Xiang was here, there was at least a little order here, but as soon as Liu Xiang died, his men immediately dispersed, and the mouth of the Pearl River also suddenly became a no-owner.

So many blind pirates immediately flocked here to grab territory or take the opportunity to get a handful, so the merchant ships entering and leaving the Pearl River mouth these days were unlucky and became the target of these small pirates.

These days, many merchant ships were killed by pirates* here. The pirates killed many people and robbed many boats. However, Yu Xiaotian did not give them too much time to celebrate, so he led his troops to the mouth of the Pearl River. In just a few days, he swept the whole mouth of the Pearl River, as if he had sprinkled a big net and combed the whole Pearl River mouth. Once again.

This action to clean up the mouth of the Pearl River almost wiped out the pirates in this area. They were clever enough to run away. The guys who wanted to hide here and take the opportunity to make a fortune. This time, they were beaten to death in the Pearl River one by the sea wolf fleet like flies. The mouth area.

Some pirates were chased and had no way to escape, and even simply plunged into the mouth of the Pearl River, going against the current and fled into a cobweb-like water net.

Yu Xiaotian has already arranged people here, learned a lot about the situation here, drawn a detailed water network map, and marked some important towns.

In the area of Guangzhou, because of the dense water network, many gentry have built their own manor fortresses here, and organized groups to practice their hometowns to protect themselves. The local power is so strong that it can almost be said to be self-contained. Basically, the decrees of the government office does not work here.

So many of these large gentry do business and own their own sea boats. At the same time, many of them have collusion with pirates, or they are simply behind some pirates. Some people are willing to act as the owners of pirates, ship for pirates and buy pirate' stolen goods in order to make profits.

(I forgot to thank Hell Angel No. 1, the desert laughing spring breeze, the words of Nannan, and the rewards of several brothers in the sky under the war. Now make up for it now! Ha ha!)
