Daming pirates

After playing tricks on the man named Zhou who was sent by Chu Cai, Yu Xiaotian ordered all parts of Nanyue Island, including Hailang, to be on alert. At the same time, he ordered the merchant fleet to temporarily stop using the waterways around Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, and Chaozhou.

Take a route away from the coast and bypass this area. If you have to go to this area as a last resort, you are not allowed to hang any more signs of the Sea Wolf. Keep their identity secret and avoid becoming the target of revenge by Chu Cai's men.

In addition, Cormorant Island in the south, as the outpost at the southern end of Nanyue Island, has stationed a small fleet of five patrol boats to strengthen the monitoring of the southern waters of Nanyue Island. Once Mr. Chu Cai invades, this place

It can provide a certain degree of advance warning for Nanyue Island, so that Nanyue Island Wolf Cave can be fully prepared.

As for the Sea Wolf's warships, they have all entered a high alert state and continue to maintain a training state on the east coast of Nanyue Island, ready to be dispatched at any time to meet the intrusion of Chu Cai's large number of troops.

Even Fang An from the Tamsui Village was informed that the alert of the Tamsui Village was raised, and a fifty-man soldier team and four fast boats were sent to the Tamsui Village to strengthen the defense there.

The newly cast twelve-pound long cannon and several six-pound cannons were also transported to Tamsui Village with the fleet and strengthened and given to Fang An.

As for Jilong Bay, Yu Xiaotian is not too worried. Now the Jilong Bay defense fortifications have basically been completed, or have begun to function. If Mr. Chu Cai wants to make an idea, the bay mouth alone

Two forts are enough for that guy to drink a pot.

At the same time, Yu Xiaotian did not really fight alone. He sent people to send messages to Feng Xi, Nine Lives Meng Jie and other small group colleagues who were active in Fuzhou, asking them to pay attention to Chu Cailao's movements in the near future.

If they are willing, they can come to help Hailang fight if something happens, and Yu Xiaotian will thank them afterwards.

Even on Yan Siqi's side, Yu Xiaotian specially sent someone to inform them, asking Yan Siqi to help pay attention to Mr. Chu Cai's situation. If he found anything unusual about Mr. Chu Cai, Yan Siqi must send someone to inform them.

Nowadays, Yan Siqi is developing very rapidly in the Bengang area. Taking advantage of his identity as a southern Fujianese, he sent his men to the southern Fujian area to recruit a large number of immigrants and ship them to his area for development. He has a posture of showing off his skills.

Moreover, Yan Siqi and Hailang had close contacts during this period. They often sent ships to Nanyue Island to trade, and transported their recent acquisitions and specialties from Taichung to Nanyue Island for sale. Yu Xiaotian basically let Mao Shengyuan

Accepting the order and giving them a good price, Yan Siqi became a sales point and a nest owner to some extent.

However, Yan Siqi did not put all his treasure on Xiaotian. After all, they were colleagues, and there was also competition in cooperation. Yan Siqi had made friends with many wealthy businessmen in the coastal area, and had many shipping channels. After he occupied Bengang

After that, they used the dozens of large ships and hundreds of tribesmen at hand to expand their territory, raid the sea, and do business.

Relying on his good popularity and many connections, Yan Siqi's strength developed very rapidly after he returned to Taiwan Yuan Island from the Japanese country. According to detailed reports, by early February of the next year, Yan Siqi had recruited from the land.

He recruited thousands of immigrants and began to explore in the Taichung area. He also recruited hundreds of followers and robbed more than 20 ships. The number of ships under his command soared to more than 30, and his followers even numbered 1,000 people.

On the surface, the scale is already quite large.

There is also very important news, that is, Zheng Yiguan, who has not been seen for a long time, brought several ships and Li Dan's former subordinates to Ben Port at the end of last year and invested in

Yan Siqi followed orders under the tent.

In history, some people thought that Li Dan and Yan Siqi were the same person because their experiences were very similar, but it turned out that they were not the same person. After Zheng Yiguan arrived in Japan, he first met Li Dan and worshiped Li Dan as his righteous brother.

Father, he started doing business with Li Dan.

But Li Dan and Yan Siqi also knew each other, and their friendship was quite good. Later, Zheng Yiguan followed Li Dan and met Yan Siqi. Yan Siqi also admired Zheng Yiguan very much like Li Dan and regarded him as a brother, so Zheng Yiguan was open to the public.

He is Li Dan's adopted son and the number one person under Li Dan. In fact, he also has a very deep friendship with Yan Siqi.

Since the Dutch withdrew from Penghu last year, Li Dan basically had nothing to do with the Dutch, and Zheng Yiguan also had nothing to do, so Li Dan took Zheng Yiguan back to Japan. At the end of last year, Zheng Yiguan

Yiguan had nothing to do in Japan, so he took a few boats to Taiyuan Island, found Yan Siqi, and temporarily helped Yan Siqi here.

At this time, Li Dan also encountered a more difficult matter, that is, there was some friction between Li Dan and the British.

Yu Xiaotian had no way of knowing what it was exactly, but when Zheng Yiguan came to Nanyue Island a few years ago and the two of them had a chat, Yu Xiaotian learned some things about this from Zheng Yiguan.

It is a pity that Yu Xiaotian knows very little about historical data in this area. In the past, he only knew people like Li Dan and Yan Siqi, and knew more or less about them. However, he had not read the detailed historical data.

So there is no way to know more about Li Dan.

Generally speaking, Yu Xiaotian and Zheng Yiguan get along quite happily at this time. After all, there is not much conflict between the two parties. They each do their own things and there are some intersections of interests between them. Yu Xiaotian also

Taking advantage of this opportunity, through Zheng Yiguan, the council sent a person to go to Dazhan, which is now the city that the Dutch are building, and the people call it Rejelan City, and established relations with the Dutch.

With this, Yu Xiaotian began to collect some raw silk and other commodities that the Dutch dreamed of through the purchasing network he had initially established, and began to resell them to the Dutch at high prices. In the past few months, he had delivered a total of fifty dan to the Dutch.

Raw silk made the Dutch look at Sea Wolf with admiration and began to regard it as a partner they could cooperate with.

Moreover, the Dutch also learned about Yu Xiaotian's strength through Zheng Yiguan, and sent people to contact Yu Xiaotian, hoping that Yu Xiaotian would help them intercept passing merchant ships in the Fuzhou area and divert them to Relanja City and the Dutch.

Trade instead of going to Manila to trade with the Spaniards.

Yu Xiaotian did not immediately reach an agreement with the Dutch, because now he is happy to become the target of attention between the Spaniards and the Dutch. He does not want to offend anyone on both sides for the time being. In this case, he can

You can get more benefits.

Through this relationship, not only can Yu Xiaotian purchase saltpeter from the Spanish, but the Dutch have also agreed to provide Yu Xiaotian with saltpeter at a preferential price, and even the iron that Yu Xiaotian urgently needs.

People also said that they could find a way to solve the problem for Yu Xiaotian.

In this way, Yu Xiaotian has another way to obtain iron materials, which makes his weapons industry in Nanyue Island safer. If something happens in Guangdong, he will be cut off from the supply of goods. Of course, at this time, Fujian's local

, there are also many large and small private and government-run iron yards. In order to diversify the purchase channels, Yu Xiaotian has been continuously expanding the purchase channels of iron materials in Fujian over the past year. Now he has begun to cooperate with Zhenghe County

I am hooked up with a private iron yard in China, where I purchase more than 2,000 kilograms of iron materials every month.

Currently, Sea Wolf has stored nearly 100,000 kilograms of iron on Nanyue Island alone. This iron can sustain the needs of Yu Xiaotian's weapons industry for quite some time. In addition, Yu Xiaotian has considered not putting all his eggs in one basket.

Here, in addition to storing iron materials on Nanyue Island, he also began to store large quantities of iron materials in Jilongwan and Danshui Village. Once something happens to Nanyue Island, there will be his rear base there at any time.

Can continue to meet his needs.

Generally speaking, Yu Xiaotian and Yan Siqi are getting along relatively well. Although they are not allies, they are definitely friends. Now that Yu Xiaotian and Mr. Chu Cai are facing each other, it is natural that he has to inform Yan Siqi.

After Yan Siqi heard the news about the feud between Yu Xiaotian and Chu Cailao, he immediately sent Zheng Yiguan to Nanyue Island to meet with Yu Xiaotian to learn more about the reason for their feud this time.

In mid-February, Zheng Yiguan took a boat to Nanyue Island and met Yu Xiaotian who was preparing for war. Yu Xiaotian saw Zheng Yiguan coming at this time, so he invited him to the private study for an interview.

, to show the close relationship with him.

As soon as Zheng Yiguan saw Yu Xiaotian, he asked straight to the point: "Master Yu, I don't know why you have made such a fuss with Master Chu this time. Can you tell me, without hiding it from the master, my adoptive father and Chu Da

The master has a good relationship with me, and I am also familiar with him. If it is not a big matter, I am willing to mediate between the two masters!"

After Yu Xiaotian listened, he thought about it for a while. From Zheng Yiguan's words, he could tell that Zheng Yiguan was really not given for nothing. Although he followed Li Dan in Japan, he has not treated him well over the years.

He is also very familiar with the sea in the Fujian and Guangdong areas. It can be seen that this guy has a wide range of contacts and has a really wide road. He actually has friendship with Mr. Chu Cai. Although there is a relationship like Li Dan, it can also be seen that Zheng

Yiguan really pays attention to making friends in his daily life. No wonder he can achieve great things. This is also inseparable from his daily accumulation.

And it seems that Zheng Yiguan still treats him very well. He came here in a hurry this time and showed a worried look when they met. He was obviously worried about him, which Yu Xiaotian really appreciated.
