Daming pirates

Li Yi saw that Yu Xiaotian had an enigmatic look on his face, and he didn't tell how he got the news, so it was no longer convenient for him to ask more questions. He could only secretly speculate that Yu Xiaotian must have other ways, and the specifics were

He couldn't guess who told Yu Xiaotian about this, and at the same time he was a little doubtful of Xiaotian's words.

After all, although some people are spreading the news about changing the governor of Fujian, the news is very confusing. As for who will be the successor, there is no definite statement so far. Several people are among the candidates, and

Although Nan Juyi has also been mentioned, he is not the one with the highest voice. Currently, even those with good information in the government are not sure who the court will send to replace Shang Zhou Zuo.

This kind of thing has always been of great concern to a businessman like him who has to deal with officials all year round. However, so far, he has not been able to get any reliable information about who will be the next governor of Fujian.

Today, Yu Xiaotian concluded that Nan Juyi would succeed Zhou Zuo of Shang Dynasty as governor of Fujian in the future. How could he, a pirate leader who has lived at sea for a long time, know so many things?

If Yu Xiaozhen really knows, unless he still has a way in the capital at this time, someone secretly provides him with such information.

But thinking about Yu Xiaotian's identity and his background, Li Yi wouldn't believe that Yu Xiaotian could have such a way even if he beat him to death. Today Yu Xiaotian pretended to be profound and said that Nan Juyi would become Shang Zhouzuo.

As for the successor, Li Yi privately believed that this was probably because Yu Xiaotian was talking nonsense and wanted to pretend to be knowledgeable about the situation on land in front of him!

So Li Yi laughed it off and didn't ask any more questions. When the news comes out, he will know whether Yu Xiaotian is talking nonsense!

Next, Yu Xiaotian and Li Yi chatted about some things about the current imperial court. Li Yi told Yu Xiaotian that he had heard that the emperor in the imperial court had recently begun to favor a great eunuch named Wei, and asked him to marry a man named Gu.

A eunuch named Gu Bingqian joined the cabinet and participated in the government affairs. At the same time, this man named Wei was put in charge of the East Factory. I really don't know what the current emperor is thinking.

Yu Xiaotian laughed after hearing this. Li Yi said this, his tone showing disdain for these eunuchs, and Fujian Tiangao and the emperor were far away, and they merchants didn't know much about what was going on in the court. Others

If you don't know how powerful Wei Zhongxian is right now, how can he not understand the truth?

So he shook his head and said: "Shopkeeper Li, please listen to the next piece of advice. You can underestimate anyone in the world now, but you must never underestimate this Wei Zhongxian and Mr. Wei Chang! You will definitely know how powerful he is in the future! So no matter what you believe

If you don’t believe it, from now on, don’t say a bad word about him in front of or behind anyone!

If you have a way, you can build a good relationship with Jin Yiwei or the people from Dongchang in Fujian! You might even think of some way to spend some money to serve Mr. Wei, even if it is one of his cronies!

In short, you will know how good my words today will be for you in the future!

I wish you and I could get along, so I'll stop talking about this, but please remember it, shopkeeper Li, and don't laugh it off!"

After hearing this, Li Yi became even more suspicious, because Yu Xiaotian's words were very strange, as if he knew this Wei Zhongxian very well, and he also insisted that this person would definitely be a powerful person in the future, so this is really strange.

Could it be that if Yu Xiaozhen was really in the capital, there was no way he could know so many things that even he didn't know?

Thinking of this, Li Yi unconsciously became a little nervous about Xiaotian. Although he couldn't believe that Yu Xiaotian had a way in the capital, nothing in this world could be generalized. Maybe Yu Xiaotian was a pirate.

What about the aliens in the world? So I would rather believe that they exist than not believe that they don’t exist!

If Yu Xiaotian had such a hidden clue, then he would not be able to underestimate this person. The reason why he helped Xiaotian before was because he wanted to cultivate a pirate in this area who could help him.

He does some dirty work, but while he is helping Yu Xiaotian, he is also carefully restricting Yu Xiaotian's development.

Now that Yu Xiaotian seems to have shown that he still has hidden connections in the capital, Li Yi can no longer restrict Xiaotian as he did in the past. Instead, he has to change the way he acts, no matter what Yu Xiaotian needs.

, he must satisfy him as much as possible, otherwise, with his secret way, he may offend him at some point, and people from the capital may be crushed to death by then.

Squeeze him to death like an ant!

Thinking of this, Li Yi didn't dare to ask any more questions and became even more enthusiastic about Xiaotian. He even suddenly mentioned that there were a few artillery pieces on his own ship. He suddenly remembered that there were two cannons temporarily.

If you don't need it, you can give it to Yu Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian looked at Li Yi's change and laughed a little in his heart. His words just now really frightened Li Yi and made Li Yi a little suspicious. Without saying anything, he took the initiative to show kindness to him. Waiting

After his prediction comes true, he will probably scare Li Yi even more!

But that’s fine. Some things cannot be fully understood. It is actually a good thing for Li Yi, the nest owner, to have more respect for him. Occasionally, he can use his half-baked historical knowledge to scare Li Yi.

, making him dare not underestimate himself, which is also a good thing for him.

"Thank you so much to Shopkeeper Li! I don't dare to accept it as a gift! How can Yu receive the salary for nothing? If Shopkeeper Li is willing to part with these two cannons, Yu will not be short of money at the moment. He can only treat them as gifts from Shopkeeper Li.

Now that I have bought it, Yu will never be reluctant to give him the money he deserves! If shopkeeper Li doesn't want it, then Yu will definitely not want the cannon!" Yu Xiaotian cupped his fists and thanked Li Yi.

Seeing Yu Xiaotian's firmness, Li Yi couldn't bluff Yu Xiaotian for the time being, so he stopped insisting and nodded in agreement. He offered two cannons for a total of two hundred taels of silver and asked Yu later.

Xiaotian just settled the accounts with Manager Li. Ten days later, he sent someone to deliver the two cannons from Lianjiang County to here and delivered them to Yu Xiaotian.

After rambling for a long time, Yu Xiaotian finally brought the topic to Hun Jianglong. The reason why he asked Li Yi to inquire about Hun Jianglong was actually not without purpose.

Li Yi's original home was in the Funing area. His business spread all over Funing, Fuzhou and other places. He also knew the situation in Funing quite well, because he was engaged in maritime trade, and he had to work with Hun Jianglong.

He interacts with his subordinates, so he must have some understanding of the situation on both sides.

This time there is such a big conflict between the Shark Gang and Hun Jianglong. The merchants running on the sea must have learned the news, and they will definitely try their best to find out more information to judge where they should go in the future. Therefore, Li

It is definitely necessary to do this.

After listening to Yu Xiaotian's question, Li Yi didn't hide anything and immediately nodded and replied: "So this is the purpose of shopkeeper Yu coming today! You have asked the right person!"

Yes, we are also paying attention to this matter during this period. Hun Jianglong stretches his hand to the south. How can we just sit idly by and watch, so we have already started to secretly inquire for information.

In the battle of Nangantang, the Shark Gang was defeated, but I heard that the losses suffered by Hun Jianglong were not small, even greater than that of the Shark Gang. He lost at least five ships and more than a hundred of his men were killed. This was also after he won the battle.

, there is no reason to continue to expand towards the south.

After the battle at the end of the year, Hun Jianglong seems to have felt that the Shark Gang is not something he can defeat in one fell swoop. If he is pushed too hard, Zhang Hugou might be tempted to jump over the wall and come out to fight him.

Well, in that case, he wouldn't actually be able to take advantage.

Therefore, they seem to be relatively peaceful recently. They only move around Aojiang Estuary, Dinghai Bay, Huangqi Bay and other places. They occasionally go to the Bajiao Island area and do not continue to go south in a big way.

And I heard that Hun Jianglong was slightly injured this time. After the battle in Nangantang, he returned to Shuangfeng Island to recuperate, leaving his younger brother Chen Gan to take charge of Nangantang.

But I heard that this Chen Qian has a weaker temperament and is far less aggressive than Chen Jiu. Moreover, he is a bit timid and afraid of getting into trouble. His subordinates are not convinced by him, and he is a bit unable to suppress the people below him.

Especially the few subordinates who followed Chen Jiu did not take Chen Qian seriously. Hun Jianglong was afraid that Chen Qian would not be able to suppress the formation here, so he also transferred several of his capable subordinates back to Funing, so

In the short term, it is unlikely that Hun Jianglong's side will continue to press Zhang Hu's side step by step.

But recently, there has been a lot of news in the Shark Gang. Zhang Hu's subordinates have been very dissatisfied with him in the past two years. Now there is a lot of trouble in the Shark Gang. If this continues, Zhang Hu may not have a good life here.

How long is it.

Shopkeeper Yu, I’m afraid you will have to make more plans in the future!”

After listening to Li Yi's words, Yu Xiaotian felt relieved. Judging from the news that Li Yi inquired about, although Hun Jianglong won, he did not get much advantage and did not dare to continue southward.

, so that what he is most worried about will not happen for the time being.

What he was most afraid of before was that Hun Jianglong would take advantage of this opportunity to continue to expand southward. In this way, although he would not be the first to bear the brunt, many of his colleagues in Fuzhou might also fall to Hun Jianglong.

As a result, the Shark Gang will definitely become weak due to the decline of one thing and another, and it will be even more uncomfortable for him to be caught on both sides.

But for now, Hun Jianglong is content with the status quo for the time being and has no plans to continue expanding southward immediately, which buys him some time.

Next, Yu Xiaotian talked with Li Yi for a while, and learned more about the situation at Hun Jianglong from Li Yi. In fact, the situation at Hun Jianglong was similar to that of the Shark Gang.

A pirate group like theirs is not a well-organized group, but a relatively loose interest group. In name, Hun Jianglong is the boss, but in fact, the number of men and ships that Hun Jianglong can directly and completely control is not

Many, more of his subordinates are just attached to him and usually fight independently. When necessary, Hun Jianglong can mobilize them to concentrate their actions.

Therefore, such an organizational structure is doomed to be full of contradictions within them. If they want to concentrate all their efforts and do a big job, it is actually not easy for Hun Jianglong to organize many subordinates. This is probably why Hun Jianglong

One of the reasons why he did not continue to expand southward after winning the battle of Nangantang was probably because he had different opinions within him, which prevented him from gathering strength and taking advantage of the situation to continue to expand his results.

In addition, Hun Jianglong was also injured. On the surface, he won the battle, but in fact, it was a lose-lose outcome, and no one could take advantage.

The Shark Gang lost face, but Hun Jianglong suffered a greater loss, which caused the two sides to once again enter a state of balance after that battle.

The next step is to see who recovers faster, and who may have the advantage in the next step.

In short, in a short period of time, he doesn't have to worry too much about Hun Jianglong's large-scale march south, and then he can go all out to deal with the troubles of the Shark Gang.
