Daming pirates

The area of ​​this Heping Island is about the same as the Treasure Island they occupied before, but what is different from the Heping Island in his memory is that it is not a small island now, with Heping Island as the main one and two small ones on the east and west.

The island is not connected to the larger island in the middle.

Yu Xiaotian was a little confused about this, but after thinking about it for a while, natural changes and the continuous accumulation of construction by later generations over the past few hundred years probably linked the other two small islands to the main island of Heping Island.

Only then did they form a conceptual whole for later generations.

At present, the human influence here is still very small, so the three islands are not all connected together yet. This is not surprising, but overall, the main island of Heping Island is still the main presence here.

After Yu Xiaotian carefully observed the surrounding terrain, he concluded that Jilong Bay was indeed a naturally easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place, just as Heitou told him when he returned.

If the people who control this place are strong enough, they only need to build three forts on Heping Island and the opposite promontory, and mount a few heavy cannons. Then if someone wants to invade the bay, they will not be able to pull out the guns.

As for these three forts, it is basically wishful thinking.

Three forts can control all the two waterways entering Jilong Bay. If any ship wants to forcefully rush into the bay, it will be bombarded by the heavy artillery of these forts.

Even if the enemy can pull out the three forts near the mouth of the bay and enter the bay, and Jilong Bay itself is surrounded by mountains on three sides, as long as a few easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack places are selected in the bay and a few more forts are built, then here

It can basically be said to be impregnable.

From the perspective of the surrounding terrain, as long as a few points are controlled, no matter where the enemy lands, if you want to capture Jilong Bay, you will have to pay a huge price, and whether it can be captured is still open to question.

Of course, to do all this, you need considerable financial and human support, as well as sufficient resource reserves and sufficient guns to support it. It is difficult for ordinary people to do this, even with Yu Xiao

As for Tian himself, his current financial and human resources are not sufficient.

It can be said that Yu Xiaotian covets this place now because he wants to eat a bowl of rice with uncooked rice. If he fails, he will choke and get nothing in the end.

If he was given another two years, Yu Xiaotian felt that he should have such ability by then, but time was not on his side because he knew the development of this period of history.

The Dutch will definitely withdraw from Penghu this year. Under the guidance of Li Dan and others, they will land in the Dayuan area of ​​Tainan, where they will establish the city of Relanja and begin the colonial road to Taiwan Island.

That's okay. After all, the Dutch initially focused on southern Taiwan, and the northern part was not their focus. The problem was that after the Dutch occupied Dandaang, the Spaniards also realized that the Dutch occupation of Taiwan would be detrimental to them and China.

What impact does trade have?

In order to compete with the Dutch and continue to maintain trade with China, the Spanish also realized the importance of Taiwan. Therefore, at the beginning of the sixth year of Tianqi, they sent a fleet and troops to land in Jilong Bay, occupied Jilong, and settled on Heping Island.

A so-called city called Salvador was built on the city, and the chicken coop was simply renamed to bullshit Santiago.

Therefore, if big changes do not occur at this time in history, then there will not be much time left for Yu Xiaotian. It will not exceed two years at most. We will not wait for him for two years to develop steadily and gain enough strength.

, and then let him come here to occupy the territory.

If that time comes, he will definitely have to compete with the Spaniards head-on, maybe have to fight a large sea battle, and also have to defeat the Spaniards.

The Spanish were an early maritime power that emerged in the West. Although they were beaten to pieces by the British in the Battle of Calais, and their invincible fleet was almost annihilated, a starved camel was bigger than a horse.

, after all, the Spaniards accumulated huge wealth when they first spread across the world, and their strength was not very weak.

Two years later, even if Yu Xiaotian's strength has increased a lot, he may not be able to build a navy that can compete with these world's maritime powers. When the time comes to fight the Spaniards on the sea, what are his chances of winning? Yu Xiaotian really

It's because I don't have any confidence in my heart.

So he carefully calculated and decided that the sooner he started, the better. His ships at sea were not strong, so he could only hope to land here, establish a strong stronghold first, and rely on the iron cannons he had acquired so far.

He has the advantage of equipping a large number of artillery, giving him an advantage on land first. Coupled with the fact that flintlock guns will start to be produced in large quantities to equip his subordinates in the future, he can have a strong advantage on land.

At that time, whether it is the Spanish or the Dutch, if they want to drive him away from Taiwan Island, even if he does not have the advantage in sea power, at least he has the advantage in land power, and the other party will have no way to do anything against him.

This was the reason why he was so anxious that he came here with his men to seize the territory.

While Yu Xiaotian observed the topography of Heping Island and the conditions of the surrounding waters, he continued to ponder his plan in his mind.

After waiting for more than an hour, the small boat that entered the bay came back again. After finding Yu Xiaotian's boat, it came closer and shouted: "Our boss said, you can go into the bay to rest.

But our boss hopes that you will keep your word and don’t break your promise. After you replenish your water, you should leave here as soon as possible!”

Yu Xiaotian sneered and asked Liu Wang to reply that he could do it. Then he gave the order and sailed into Jilong Bay with his fleet.

At this time, all the sailors were keeping an eye on the situation along the coast to prepare for sudden attacks from the shore. The terrain at the mouth of the bay was narrow and not conducive to maneuvering. If there were enough cannons on the shore, they would definitely fire at them together at this time.

Suffer a big loss.

With the current situation of their ships, in fact, just a few large-caliber Hongyi cannons, aiming at them on the shore and bombarding them, would be enough to make them run away without food.

But their worries actually seemed a bit unnecessary. If this small group of pirates entrenched here had so many red barbarian cannons, then they might not be small pirates anymore. They would have been able to sweep away their peers in the surrounding area and develop stronger.

.

What's more, Black Head had already visited here before and found no forts or anything like that at all, so their precaution was just a routine measure.

There is a small stockade on a high point on the seaside of the bay. At this time, the pirates in the stockade are all facing powerful enemies. When the Sea Wolf fleet enters Jilong Bay through the main channel, most of their ships

Having sailed out of the bay from the east channel, the village gate was also closed tightly.

All the performances show that Zhou Feng here is very wary and vigilant about the arrival of the Sea Wolf fleet. They must have seen the size of the Sea Wolf fleet just now, so they have prepared for the worst in advance. On the one hand, they sent

The people sailed the boat out of Jilong Bay first, and on the one hand, they closed the gate of the village tightly to prevent the sea wolf from suddenly attacking them. In this way, if the sea wolf attacked, if they could not save the village, they could at least save their own ship and leave a way out.

.

After Yu Xiaotian made some observations, he ordered the ships to dock in the bay and unceremoniously controlled the simple trestle. The two ships, one on the left and one on the right, docked directly on both sides of the trestle. The people on board immediately disembarked and moved

The small pier is under control.

It took a while for Yu Xiaotian to get off the boat. In order not to alert Zhou Feng's group, the other people on the boat were ordered to enter the cabins individually.

"Come here, go outside the village and inform Mr. Zhou here, explain our identity, and ask Mr. Zhou to come out and talk to me!" Yu Xiaotian was not wordy, and while scanning the topography of Jilong Bay, he was talking about

I memorized all the topography and landforms here, forming a three-dimensional image and stored it in my mind.

Someone among the personal guards was immediately sent by Liu Wang. After arriving at the gate of the village, he stood still and shouted loudly: "We are the Fuzhou Seawolves! Our boss is here today and has something to discuss with your boss. Please come out and talk to your boss!"

The minions in the village were very nervous. They were very surprised when they saw this group of people coming over. They were very different from their usual counterparts. They really wanted to take a closer look at the two boats that had been here some time ago.

, those two ships are indeed present in this fleet.

These people were all wearing a set of indigo blue close-fitting clothes and leggings. Some of them were wearing fast boots and some were wearing straw sandals. Each of them also had a small bamboo hat and a palm-wide trousers tied around their waists.

The strips and the copper buckles of the strips were polished until they shined brightly.

These people were very well-behaved. After docking, some people came ashore in an orderly manner. No one was running around and making loud noises. Only some people were giving orders, and the rest acted according to the orders, which seemed very orderly.

If it weren't for their clothes, just judging from their performance, the people in the village would have mistakenly thought that these people were officers and soldiers. Even the officers and soldiers had never seen them so abiding by the rules. Let this group of people behave individually

They were all very surprised and could not guess their identities and origins for a while.

When someone rushed outside the village gate and reported their identity, the people in the village realized that these people were originally members of the Sea Wolf Gang from Fuzhou. Although they were active in this area, it did not mean that the information about them was complete.

Because of the isolation, some people immediately thought of whose subordinates they were. After all, they came and went, and they also had the opportunity to come into contact with people on the land, or they would go to the land to purchase some supplies, so they knew the name of Fuzhou Sea Wolf to some extent.

.

Some people know that this Fuzhou Sea Wolf was actually just a little-known pirate in the past, but somehow, he suddenly overthrew Zhang Hu, the boss of the Fuzhou pirates, and replaced him with a man named Yu, becoming a pirate in Fuzhou.

The leader was very popular in the Fuzhou area for a while, and even defeated the Hunjiang Dragon in the Funing area. The Hunjiang Dragon was defeated and fled back to the Funing area.

So when they heard that these people were from the Sea Wolf Gang, they didn't dare to neglect them and quickly asked their leader Zhou Feng to come forward and answer the question.
