Daming pirates

Mad Meng, Zhao Mazi and Li Gouzi were all very dissatisfied with Xiaotian's decision to let Feng Tiancheng go without consulting anyone. Even Liu Laoliu was unhappy this time, but they didn't say it out loud.

.

Three thousand taels of silver is by no means a small amount for pirates like them. Even if it is distributed equally to everyone here, each person can get at least dozens of taels of silver.

However, Yu Xiaotian didn't ask for a single penny, and even gave him dozens of taels of silver to Feng Tiancheng as travel expenses, so he let Feng Tiancheng go and sent him to Dalian Island.

, asked the Li family to find a boat going south to take him back to Guangzhou.

This approach was unacceptable to the old guys. After closing the door, Crazy Meng jumped up at Yu Xiaotian on the spot and said that Yu Xiaotian was a prodigal.

Zhao Mazi simply refused to go to Dalian Island when sending Feng Tiancheng away. He made no excuses and asked Yu Xiaotian to go to Dalian Island himself.

Li Gouzi, a timid man who was afraid of getting into trouble, sat aside and groaned angrily. After listening to Madman Meng's words, he couldn't help but muttered: "That's three thousand taels of silver! It will last us a long time."

It’s expensive! Even if you use it to buy a boat, you can still sell two lucky boats and one to catch a sail! At the very least, there’s no problem in buying three Haicang boats!”

After Yu Xiaotian sent Zheng Tiancheng away, he was called here by some old guys when he came back. After closing the door, he knew that these old guys were unhappy about this matter, so he sat down without saying anything and just let them

Let’s air out our complaints first.

Even Liu Laoliu lowered his head and sat aside without saying a word. He did not jump out to defend Yu Xiaotian as usual. After all, three thousand taels of silver were something they had never seen in their lives.

, there are a lot of them wherever they are placed, almost as much as the weight of two people.

Anyone who thinks about it will feel heartache, but Xiaotian let him go just like that, so everyone can't figure it out, so they can't help but attack Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian drank tea slowly, with a leisurely and contented look, which made Crazy Meng and the others even more angry. Crazy Meng jumped in front of Yu Xiaotian, patted the table and asked Xiaotian: "Helmsman, what are you doing today?"

You have to give us old guys an explanation! Why do you want to let Mr. Feng go without taking a penny when you let him have a good three thousand taels of silver? What are you trying to do?

"

Yu Xiaotian rolled his eyes and looked at Crazy Meng, his face instantly darkened. Seeing Yu Xiaotian lower his face, Li Gouzi opened his mouth, did not dare to continue, and carefully tugged on Crazy Meng's wrist.

Sleeves, tell Madman Meng not to go too far.

Madman Meng threw away Li Gouzi's hand and shouted: "Get out of here! Don't come and pull me! We have agreed that we will ask him clearly today, so don't come!"

Yu Xiaotian slowly put the teacup in his hand on the table, sat up straight, looked at Crazy Meng with a cold face as cold as water, and suddenly slammed the table hard, shaking the teapot and teacups on the table.

Lao Gao.

"That's enough! Uncle Meng! Don't rely on me! Since I am the helmsman, I have the right to decide everything here! Sit down!"

Yu Xiaotian's slap was so loud that it frightened several old guys in the room. Li Gouzi and Zhao Mazi were even frightened so much that they trembled violently. Even Crazy Meng was shocked.

He was so frightened that he took two steps back, stared, and opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

After a while, Liu Laoliu said: "Lao Meng, sit down first and listen to what the tiller has to say!"

Crazy Meng turned around and found a bench to sit down. He said to Xiaotian: "Okay! Today, the helmsman will tell us why this is! You tell me!"

Yu Xiaotian sneered, stood up, looked around the four old guys in the room, and snorted: "What? If I can't make sense today, are you going to remove me as the helmsman?"

Is it a success?

Okay! Then it’s okay if I, surnamed Yu, don’t want to be the helmsman! If any of you think you can do it, just come and be the helmsman! Do you still want to kill me for these three thousand taels of silver?”

Seeing that Yu Xiaozhen was so angry and actually said that he would give up his job, the four old guys were a little panicked. They all knew how capable they were. Although Liu Laoliu was well-informed, Crazy Meng

Zhao Mazi has a fiery temper, and Li Gouzi is good at calculating things, but each of them knows very well that they simply cannot control so many people.

Don't look at so many people being subdued by Yu Xiaotian, but that's because Yu Xiaotian needs to be bold and brave, and he needs to be strategic and resourceful, and he is also powerful enough to suppress the arrogant guys under his command and treat them well.

The methods used by his subordinates are also full of tricks, and they combine leniency and severity to prevent those guys from making mistakes.

If any one of them were to be the helmsman, these guys would probably rebel within a few days, so as soon as Yu Xiaotian threatened to give up the job, these four old guys immediately withered.

Liu Laoliu said quickly: "Xiaotian, you can't say this! Lao Meng and the others just wanted to know why you let Mr. Feng go without asking for ransom! How could they be forcing you to quit the helm?

Son? Don’t think too much and calm down!”

Zhao Mazi also hurriedly said: "Helmsman, calm down your anger! Lao Meng, your voice is too loud. Why can't you speak slowly? You jump at every turn. If you compare your voices, doesn't the voice of the helmsman be lower than yours?"

Stop it, helmsman, we didn’t think about those things!”

Li Gouzi also hurriedly said: "The helmsman, we still need you to be the helmsman. We old guys just feel sorry for the money, but it doesn't mean anything. If you want to hire the helmsman, please tell us.

That’s it!”

As soon as he heard that Yu Xiaotian had given up the helm, Madman Meng immediately wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost, raised his head and muttered: "Who said I won't let you take the helm? Don't we just feel sorry for Yin Zi?

You don’t understand this matter! Why don’t you explain it to us? Anyway, I, Mad Meng, have never thought about being the helmsman, so I can’t afford to worry about it!”

When Yu Xiaotian saw that the old guys had been frightened, his face softened a little, and he sat down angrily and said to them: "Let Master Feng go this time. I didn't follow him."

You guys discussed it in advance, it's my fault! I won't apologize to my uncles!" After saying that, he hugged them.

Several old guys quickly waved their hands and said they didn't dare.

Yu Xiaotian continued: "Don't just look at your eyes, this is not the first time I have said this to you, nor is it the first time I have said this to everyone on the island!

It seems that we let him go and made less than three thousand taels of silver. But have you ever thought about it? Our current situation is not optimistic and cannot be solved with money.

Think about it, this time the Shark Gang and Hunjiang Longhuo suffered losses, so Matsu Island, that is, the area between South Gantang and North Gantang was taken away by Hunjiang Dragon!

Next, although Hunjianglong may not be able to move south in a big way, it will gradually encroach southward. If the Shark Gang cannot reverse its decline in a short period of time, many people nearby may switch to Hunjianglong!

But we didn't succeed. We were forced here by the Hunjiang Dragon before. If we wanted to take refuge with him, we might as well just go to them. And now we are helping the Shark Gang, and we even killed two or three Hunjiang Dragons this time.

The ship offended Hun Jianglong even more.

Therefore, we cannot take refuge in Hun Jianglong. Then, some nearby colleagues may become our enemies. It is uncertain whether we can stand firm in this area again in the future!

Although our manpower is not too small at the moment, the ships are easy to handle. We have the Seawolf and the Walrus. Although the Walrus is unusable, the Seal can be repaired and launched soon. As long as the Seal is launched, we can quickly launch it.

Capturing one or two larger ships is not a problem.

But have you ever thought about it? What do we lack most? What we lack most is cannons! This time I went to fight with the Shark Gang and Hunjianglong, and I saw that these small cannons we have are not useful at all.

So we need better cannons, more powerful cannons! Now that we have a ship, where can we get the cannons? Just by robbing them? How many good cannons are there on the merchant ships?"

Zhao Mazi said tentatively: "That's true, but isn't there shopkeeper Li? If we can't do it, we can ask shopkeeper Li to help buy it!"

"Huh! It's easy to put it! I don't know who Shopkeeper Li is, or you don't know. Although he treats us well, he always holds back when doing things for us! Haven't you seen this?

Is it clear?

I have already mentioned to them that I would like to ask them to help me get some cannons, but he has resisted. So far, he has only given us five muskets. What can this do?

So we are all counting on the Li family to fail, so we can only find another way! You all remember this sentence, eggs cannot be put in one basket, we must have another line that can solve the problem for us!

And this Feng family in Guangzhou is an opportunity! As you all know, the Feng family has a large business in Guangdong, with porcelain kilns, boathouses, ironworks, and also a maritime business!

Although we can get three thousand taels of silver from the Feng family, if we get these three thousand taels of silver, it can only be a one-time transaction. From now on, it will be equivalent to enmity with the Feng family, and we will never have any dealings with them again!

The Feng Family Ironworks is what I like. Their ironworks can be used to cast cannons. If we can establish a relationship with them, then we will directly find the seller. If we want to purchase cannons in the future, what problems are there?

Now that we have good cannons, and if we build a few good boats in the future, won’t we be able to walk sideways on this sea? How can we still be as we are now, being on tenterhooks every day, fearing that others will come to us and cause trouble for us?

I said, sooner or later, we have to go back to Dahuang Island. Can we buy a boat to return to Dahuang Island with just three thousand taels of silver? Huh!"

Yu Xiaotian tapped his fingers on the table, explained his thoughts clearly to these old guys one by one, and then snorted heavily.

After listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, several old guys thought about it in their hearts and felt that this was true. Although the Li family treated them well on the surface, it was only limited to business dealings and the supply of guns.

, but never helped them much, always making excuses and using various reasons to deal with them.

Yu Xiaotian made it clear that boats are easy to handle, but guns and cannons are difficult to handle. Counting on the Li family is definitely not possible, so the Feng family has a way to go. For three thousand taels of silver, it is quite cost-effective to buy such a way. You can save a lot of money.

Buying from others, and then being ripped off by others.
