Daming pirates

"We are Li Dan's subordinates. We passed by here today. We didn't know that this is the territory of all the heroes, and we are causing trouble. I hope that the boss can take the honor of us as colleagues and let us go.

From now on we

Also make a friend so that we can talk to each other again! I dare to ask, does this leader have a surname?" Zheng Yiguan saw that Yu Xiaotian had calmed down and put away his anger, so he asked again

Said to Xiaotian.

After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian looked Zheng Yiguan up and down again, pretending not to recognize him and not being too enthusiastic. Instead, he frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Li Dan? You

But is it the Li Dan from Kyushu Island mentioned in the world?"

"Exactly! It turns out that the head of the house knows the name of our shopkeeper Li, so it will be easier to talk! Presumably, the head of the house also knows what our shopkeeper Li does. Everyone is actually in this industry. In the future, we will

Interactions are indispensable on this sea. It is fate that we are fortunate enough to meet here this time.

The goods that got off the ship should be given to you as a meeting gift! I hope you can be kind and let us go! In the future, after Zheng goes back to report to our shopkeeper, he will definitely come to thank us!" Zheng Yiguan

After all, he is a character. Although he is in danger, he always behaves neither humble nor overbearing.

After Yu Xiaotian listened to Zheng Yiguan's words, he slowly stood up again, laughed and shook his head and said: "Since you are shopkeeper Li's people, it seems that there is indeed a misunderstanding today! I'm under the sea wolf Yu Xiaotian, I don't know

Have you ever heard of Brother Zheng?”

When Zheng Yiguan saw Yu Xiaotian's attitude softening, he immediately relaxed a lot. When he heard Yu Xiaotian reported his identity, he immediately clasped his fists and said with a smile: "It turns out that this dear friend is famous.

Fuzhou Sea Wolf! Disrespect, disrespect! Nowadays in Fujian, no one who sails on this sea knows your name. It is Zheng's great fortune to meet the master today!"

At this time, Yu Xiaotian had completely adjusted his mentality, and he also clasped his fists and returned the courtesy to Zheng Yiguan: "Brother Zheng, you are so polite! Yu is just making a living. Compared to you, shopkeeper Li, I, Yu,

What does it mean? It makes Brother Zheng laugh!

It seems that today was indeed a misunderstanding. Just now I thought you were a passing merchant ship that wanted to bypass here and go north, so I ordered to pursue you, which shocked Brother Zheng!

Come on, go and prepare some food and drinks for me. I want to have a drink with Brother Zheng to calm Brother Zheng’s panic!

Brother Zheng, the weather is quite good today, would you like to have a drink with someone like me?"

Seeing that Yu Xiaotian's attitude became more and more relaxed, and ordered his subordinates to arrange food and drinks for him, Zheng Yiguan was completely relieved. Yu Xiaotian's attitude had already shown that he was willing to buy his account.

He had given up on making enemies of the Li family, and if Yu Xiaotian wanted to give him wine to calm his fears, it would be hard for him to refuse.

"How dare you! Don't take it for granted. It's my luck, Zheng, to be acquainted with Mr. Yu. Since I'm interested in Mr. Yu, I can't be more respectful than obey!"

In this era, Li Dan's name is a well-known brand name, whether on the coast of Fujian or Guangdong. In their line of work, of course, even if they don't know him, he will know such a big boss at sea.

Everyone has heard about it. Seeing that the ship intercepted today turned out to be the ship of Li Dan's men, the Sea Wolf tribe was also a little discouraged. Coupled with Yu Xiaotian's attitude, it has already shown that today they are probably going to be in vain.

Got it!

So the people on the ship all dispersed under the orders of their respective leaders. Someone picked up a lantern on the stern of the Sea Wolf, set up a small table, bought two side dishes, and brought them over.

After buying a small jar of good wine from Fuzhou, Yu Xiaotian took Zheng Yiguan to sit at the table and started chatting while eating and drinking.

"Yu has heard about Shopkeeper Li for a long time, but has never had a chance to meet him. Unexpectedly, he is here today, meeting Brother Zheng, and finally getting to know Shopkeeper Li!

Brother Zheng has been disturbed a lot today. Please let me apologize to Brother Zheng! I hope Brother Zheng doesn't mind!" Since Yu Xiaotian met this legendary figure in history today, he can't kill him now.

Then he will not let Zheng Yiguan go easily. He must make friends with him first no matter what. No matter where he goes in the future, it will be a matter of the future. After all, he is full of Zheng Yiguan.

Curious, what he knew about him before was limited to some paper records, but whether this person looked like what was recorded in history, he still wanted to observe it through his own eyes.

"Master Yu is too polite. As the saying goes, you can't make a deal without fighting! You and I didn't know each other's identity before, so misunderstandings are inevitable. What's more, I have nothing to lose, so Master Yu shouldn't be so polite! Zheng

I am lucky to be here and get to know Mr. Yu. I hope Mr. Yu will never say such kind words again!" Zheng Yiguan couldn't see through Yu Xiaotian.

When they first met, Yu Xiaotian didn't know why, but when he heard his name, he became murderous. Later, he suddenly became very enthusiastic about him. Such a change made Zheng Yiguan feel a bit like a monk.

I couldn't figure it out, so I could only be cautious and didn't dare to put on any airs, for fear of irritating this "moody" Yu Hailang.

"Since Brother Zheng is working under Shopkeeper Li, why did you bring the boat here today for some unknown reason? Brother Zheng, since you and I are both in this business, don't give Yu a sloppy look. I

Yu is a straight-tempered person and doesn't like to go around!" Yu Xiaotian put on a rough posture and asked Zheng Yiguan while drinking.

Zheng Yiguan was stunned for a moment, and then his expression returned to calm. He toasted Xiaotian with a smile, and then said: "Since Mr. Yu asked, I have nothing to say!

Presumably Master Yu also knew that the red-haired people from Helan Kingdom occupied Penghu, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the current imperial court officials and wanted to expel them from Penghu!

It happened that our shopkeeper Li had some friendship with these red-haired people and was invited to mediate between the red-haired people and the government. I happened to understand some of the red-haired people's words, so I followed our shopkeeper to Penghu to serve as a red-haired person.

Hairy people do the job!

I wonder if Mr. Yu has ever interacted with a red-haired man?" Zheng Yiguan paused and asked Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "I have been working here in Fuzhou, but I have never interacted with those red-haired people!"

Zheng Yiguan continued: "In fact, the reason why the red-haired people are eyeing Penghu is because they want to exchange supplies and do business with our current dynasty!

The red-haired people have always been at odds with the Francois and the Ganrasi people (a name for the Spaniards in the Ming Dynasty). The red-haired people took the Ganrasi people away from Batavia in Southeast Asia, but the Batavia

But Davia is too far away from me. I want merchants to go to sea to do business. I would like to go to Macau or the nearest Manila where the Ganras people are. However, few people are willing to go all the way to Batavia where the red-haired people are.

Trade.

Brother Yu probably also knows that these Taixi people like the porcelain, raw silk, satin, tea and other items produced by our country the most. Once these things are transported back to the land of Taixi, they can make huge profits!

Therefore, the red-haired people have been trying to find a foothold on the coast of our country for many years. They once wanted to capture the Macau of the Folangji people, but because the Folangji people were very careful, they failed to do so.

Then we went to Penghu.

The red-haired people just want to gain a foothold and do business with our dynasty. However, Penghu is the land of our dynasty. Our Ming court officials heard about it, so we cannot allow them to stay for a long time!

This made the red-haired people go to war with our court! Although we are also members of our court, we are engaged in business! Who are we doing business with? That’s why our shopkeeper was invited to come to Penghu. It was not for business.

I want to help the red-haired people in the war, but I want to mediate between them. It would be best if I could go to the government and negotiate with the red-haired people!

But now it seems that it is difficult for both parties to continue to negotiate peace! I wonder if Mr. Yu knows that a few years ago, Mr. Nanda, the new governor of Fujian, planned to arrest some red-haired people and even burned a red-haired person.

Ships, now they have assembled heavy troops and begun to attack Penghu Hongmao City!

So there is no need for us people to stay in Penghu anymore, so I am ordered by the shopkeeper to take the boat back to Kyushu Island! I happened to pass by here and bumped into Mr. Yu and you, so I am lucky enough to get to know Mr. Yu today!

Mr. Zheng is deeply grateful to Mr. Yu for treating us like this. If he is free another day, Mr. Zheng will definitely come to thank you!"

After Yu Xiaotian listened to Zheng Yiguan's words, he was doubtful about what he said. Most of what Zheng Yiguan said should be true. This is also consistent with the historical records about him. However, Yu Xiaotian can guarantee that,

What Zheng Yiguan said may be true or false, and false may be true!

The things he said about the Dutch were basically true, but regarding the purpose of his trip, Yu Xiaotian thought that they were not necessarily true.

Because according to what he knew about Zheng Yiguan, Li Dan had some troubles with the Spaniards, which was why Li Dan abandoned Manila and settled in Kyushu Island, Japan.

As a pirate leader who was both a thief and a merchant, Li Dan was also engaged in maritime trade. He was not at odds with the Spanish. So now that the Dutch are coming, he is naturally willing to cooperate with the Dutch to deal with the Spanish. This is why he is willing to give the Dutch

Reasons why people help.

The purpose of the Dutch occupying the Penghu Islands is to make more Chinese businessmen give up doing business with the Spanish and instead go to Penghu to do business with the Dutch. With the ability of the Dutch alone, they simply cannot block such a large sea area.

, forcing Chinese maritime merchants to give up going to Manila to trade with the Spanish.

Then the Dutch need someone to help them, and Li Dan is ostensibly a mediator, but in fact he should be colluding with the Dutch and doing things for the Dutch.
