Daming pirates

The coastal area of ​​Fuzhou, which had been bustling for half a year, has calmed down again after the Sea Wolf Gang defeated Hun Jianglong on Dongchi Island.

The various forces that had been undercurrents all understood what choice to make after the battle settled, and they also understood who would be the real boss in the sea around Fuzhou for a long time to come.

Those merchants who were waiting to see the limelight extended their olive branches to Yu Xiaotian at this time. Nanri Island, which was originally almost unnoticed, has now become a place of pilgrimage for merchants.

After Yu Xiaotian took over Nanri Island, he chose a quite large area near the sea as a place for merchants to stay in the future. However, before the battle on Dongchi Island, except for Li Yi,

In order to express his cooperative relationship with Yu Xiaotian, he circled a place here as a business store for the Li family. No other maritime merchant came here to buy land.

However, after learning that Sea Wolf defeated Hun Jianglong on Dongchi Island and forced Hun Jianglong Chen Jiu to leave Nangantang, he obediently returned to Funing and was forced to sign for Sea Wolf under no alternative.

After signing an extremely humiliating peace treaty, these maritime merchants knew what they should do next.

Yu Xiaotian had already passed the news to these merchants through various channels before. Dalian Island was too small and not suitable for use as a commercial port. Haitan Island was large enough, but it was still under the actual control of the government in name.

, only his Nanri Island is not big or small. Although it is nominally under the jurisdiction of Fuzhou Prefecture, it is actually a foreign land. No one can control it, so only Nanri Island is the most important.

A place suitable as a commercial port.

In fact, all maritime merchants are well aware of these advantages. Otherwise, no one would have tried to do business on Nanri Island when the Shark Gang controlled Nanri Island.

It's just that Zhang Hu didn't know how to make money before, and he always broke his promise, so that this kind of business was only in its infancy and could never develop.

The reason why they are hesitating now is that they are still worried that Yu Hailang will break his promise like Zhang Hu did and spend money to finally build their business store on Nanri Island. In the future, if Yu Hailang is not happy, their money will be lost.

It was a waste of time, and they were right in the tiger's mouth, unable to escape in time.

Moreover, Hun Jianglong went south to cause trouble some time ago, intending to extend its sphere of influence to the entire Fuzhou coastal area. Most people can't see clearly the direction of the future situation, and most people are not very optimistic that Sea Wolf can deal with Hun Jiang.

Dragon, so they dare not set foot on Nanri Island easily.

But now the situation is different. The situation has become very clear. This Yu Xiaotian not only defeated Hun Jianglong with a strong attitude, but also beat Hun Jianglong very miserably. The well-informed people quickly got the news.

Although Hun Jianglong was able to return to Funing Prefecture, most of the men he brought with him stayed in Fuzhou and were killed and captured by Yu Xiaotian.

Unexpectedly, even Chen Gan, Hun Jianglong's brother Chen Jiu, was captured alive by Sea Wolf during the battle on Dongchi Island, and all kinds of ships brought by Hun Jianglong were also killed in the battle on Dongchi Island.

Among them, sinking and sinking, only a few people escaped unscathed.

As a result, Hunjianglong was unable to regain its strength for a long time, and would never dare to invade the sea south of Fuzhou again.

Therefore, for a long time to come, if the government does not use large armies to suppress Hailang again, then Yu Hailang will undoubtedly become the overlord along the coast of Fuzhou.

These merchants who rely on maritime trade live under the influence of Yu Xiaotian all day long. If they don't listen to Yu Xiaotian, then they know very well that their business will definitely not be successful in the future.

Therefore, under such pressure, they quickly made a wise choice, and began to take the initiative to contact Nanri Island. They also sent people to the island to look at places, select land, pay money to sell the land, and began to build on Nanri Island.

Their store.

As for whether Yu Xiaotian can keep his word in the next step, they can only wait and see for the time being. They hope that Xiaotian can be a trustworthy person and act better than Zhang Hu!

In almost half a month, a lively scene appeared on the piece of commercial land planned by Yu Xiaotian on Nanri Island. Many people were as busy as ants in this place.

Now, there are many ships transporting wood and building materials, flying the orange flags issued by the Sea Wolf Gang, traveling between the mainland and Nanri Island.

A large number of people also appeared on the originally deserted temporary pier, busy starting to build a new semi-permanent wooden trestle to facilitate the docking of more ships.

As a result, two piers were formed on Nanri Island, one pier was specially used for the Sea Wolf Gang's own ships to dock, and the other pier began to become a commercial pier.

The outlines of the merchant houses gradually began to take shape in the hands of these ant-like craftsmen.

Although Hailang and Hunjianglong fought such a huge battle on Dongchi Island, it did not have a great impact on the officials on land.

Of course, the official soon learned the news about the Sea Wolf Gang's victory over Hun Jianglong, but the government was still happy to hear about it. Although the government explicitly prohibited merchants from doing business at sea, it secretly supported it, and it was also involved.

They have a lot of interests, and they don't want to see Hun Jianglong, an outsider, causing too much trouble in the coastal areas of Fuzhou.

What's more, after Yu Hailang killed Zhang Hu, he also wisely accepted Zhang Hu's previous contribution to them without affecting their interests, so they were secretly willing to see that there would no longer be big monsters on the sea in Fuzhou.

With the changes, Yu Xiaotian, a newcomer, is in control of the coastal areas of Fuzhou, which is much better than Chen Jiu, the sluggish dragon.

Therefore, although the official attitude is that this matter is just a fight between pirates, dog bites dog, the more killed the better, but secretly many Fuzhou officials are still willing to see the Sea Wolf Gang win the final victory.

.

So after learning that the Sea Wolf Gang had finally won a big victory, some officials secretly sent people to express their congratulations to Xiaotian, including the current Fuzhou prefect Lu Wenheng, who also took this opportunity to tell Yu Xiaotian again not to win a big victory.

After that, there was chaos along the coast of Fuzhou.

Therefore, after this battle, Yu Xiaotian not only gained material gains, but also gained hidden gains in various aspects, which were much more than the spoils of war.

As for other gains from this battle, I have to mention that after the battle on Dongchi Island, plus the previous sneak attack, they destroyed a total of six Hunjianglong ships (excluding those single-masted ships).

(small fishing boats), and captured Hun Jianglong's six boats, almost causing the loss of more than half of the boats Chen Jiu brought to Fuzhou.

The six captured ships are basically ships that can be used as warships. Among them are a Fu ship, two Haicang ships, a double tent ship, and two bird ships. One of the Haicang ships was relatively damaged, although it was not

It sank, but even if it is repaired, it can no longer be used for fierce combat. At most, it can be used as a transport ship. But the remaining five ships basically have relatively intact hulls and structures. With a little repair, they can continue to be used.

.

As a result, the number of available warships under Yu Xiaotian increased greatly again, to more than twenty, which greatly enhanced his strength.

In addition, he also captured a total of more than 200 Hun Jianglong's subordinates, including more than 20 big and small bosses, and the rest were ordinary minions.

In addition, they also seized a large amount of various materials from Hun Jianglong. The value was initially estimated to be no less than ten thousand taels. Some of the goods were transferred by Yu Xiaotian to Liu Yidao and several other colleagues.

, as a reward for coming to help Sea Wolf this time, everyone was happy and led their men back to their respective lairs.

In addition to the property, they also seized more than 20 Hunjianglong artillery pieces of various types, no fewer than a hundred small firearms such as blunderbuss, and hundreds of kilograms of ready-made gunpowder, which was enough to arm the captured ships.

At the same time, he could also strengthen the firepower of other ships. Even so, he still had four cannons left, and all of them were thrown to Nanri Island and handed over to Ma Xiao to guard Nanri Island.

Since there is a ready-made village on Nanri Island, Yu Xiaotian could not give up here anymore, so he left Ma Xiao on Nanri Island and used Nanri Island as the sub-helm of the Sea Wolf Gang in the future, making it the Sea Wolf Gang.

It is a node in the northern part of the Fuzhou Sea. Ma Xiao will lead several ships to be stationed here for a long time. On the one hand, he can go straight out of the Minjiang River Estuary and raid in this area. On the other hand, he can also control the north-south traffic in the north of Fuzhou.

of sea lanes.

After Yu Xiaotian finished handling the affairs of Nanri Island, he took the fleet back to Nanri Island. When he passed the desert island east of Haitan Island that he temporarily used as a prisoner camp, the fleet docked at

Next to this small desert island.

When they landed on the small desert island, what they saw was a bit ridiculous. They saw only a group of hungry guys with green eyes and ragged clothes, like a group of beggars, each one hurriedly moved toward

When they came, they huffed and knelt in large numbers, making various sounds of begging for mercy.

These guys were the first group of people who were dumped on this small desert island. They have been here for almost twenty days. Later, new prisoners were constantly transported here and dumped on the island. Every time the Sea Wolf transported

When new prisoners come here, they will leave some food for the prisoners on the island.

The captives on this small desert island rely on these very limited foods to maintain their lives, and there is very little fresh water on this small desert island. Only a few stone cracks on the island seep out and are slightly stale.

Salty fresh water is barely enough to sustain a few dozen people, but when the number of people exceeds one hundred, even fresh water becomes a problem.

These days, these gang of Hunjianglong's subordinates are living a long life on this small desert island. They worry about food every day and try their best to find anything that can be stuffed into their mouths to fill their withered bellies.

, everything edible on the island was basically eaten by them.

It used to be that there were many seabirds on the island, but now all that is left is bird droppings and bird feathers. Even the crabs and shellfish that are abundant on the beach have been almost wiped out by them.

There is no shelter for them on the island, so they can only find ways to find the simplest materials to build themselves shelters to protect themselves from the blazing sun and the heavy rain that falls from time to time.

After more than half a month, this group of people has been tortured to death. If they wait a few more days, they will probably be eaten by hungry people.

A dozen people really couldn't bear it, so they tried to swim out of here and escape to Haitan Island, relying on their good water skills. However, it is estimated that few of them were lucky enough to swim to Haitan Island, and they were drowned halfway.

Just got eaten by a shark.

When these hungry guys with green eyes saw the sea wolf fleet approaching, none of them could think of any more resistance. They just wanted to leave here quickly so that they could have a good meal.

After more than twenty days, more than a dozen weak or injured people failed to survive due to lack of food and lack of strength to compete with others. They were already dead when Xiaotian brought the fleet.

On the island, if Yu Xiaotian leaves them here again, at least half of these guys will starve to death in less than ten days.
