Daming pirates

Since Zheng Yiguan returned from Japan this time, the relationship between him and Yan Siqi has gradually become tense. Considering safety issues, he took the initiative to move out of Dazhai and moved to a village closer to the shore.

As Yan Siqi continued to immigrate from the land to farm, the area opened up became larger and larger. The original large village could no longer meet their needs, so Yan Siqi divided the immigrants into many small villages to meet the needs of the immigrants.

, and at the same time, each small village has a certain ability to protect itself, and some subordinates are stationed to manage them, and are also responsible for protecting their safety.

Therefore, Zheng Yiguan proposed to move to Xiaozhai, and Yan Siqi did not object. This could also reduce the conflict between Zheng Yiguan and his men.

Therefore, Zheng Yiguan's current village can be regarded as a relatively well-edited village. It is mainly populated by some of the men he brought with him and some immigrants here.

Moreover, the village where Zheng Yiguan was located was relatively close to the seaside, so there was no need to enter or leave Bengang. During this period, he also built a temporary wharf and trestle on the seaside for his ships to dock and supply.

In short, Zheng Yiguan is in a relatively weak state in Bengang and is basically not at the mercy of Yan Siqi. In order to avoid a direct conflict with Zheng Yiguan, Yan Siqi did not interfere too much with his actions and allowed him to control himself.

his men.

This point has made many people very dissatisfied, but Yan Siqi knows it hard. Although he knows that continuing like this is not the answer, he can only do this. If this continues for a long time, it will be a matter of time before his men gradually fall apart.

Although Zheng Yiguan is relatively good at reading, he has always been more concerned about Yan Siqi's movements and bribed a group of Yan Siqi's subordinates to help him keep an eye on Yan Siqi's activities.

Through these bribed subordinates, he found out about Yan Siqi's purchase of cannons from Yu Xiaotian, and also found out the time when Yan Siqi delivered the money to Nanyue Island Sea Wolf. However, he still neglected one thing, that is, he did not thoroughly

After finding out all the details, he did not know in advance that Yan Siqi had guarded him. When he sent people to transport the silver, he had notified Yu Xiaotian in advance and asked Yu Xiaotian to send someone to pick up the silver ship he sent.

Originally, Zheng Yiguan thought that his arrangement was flawless after he sent Zheng Mang to follow and ambush the silver ship led by Chen Zhongji. Next, he only waited to harvest the tens of thousands of taels of silver, and then watched Yan Siqi become so angry that she turned against him.

.

But when he was secretly proud, he unexpectedly received a piece of news that shocked him like a thunderbolt. That was Zheng Mang's defeat. Not only did he fail to seize Yan Siqi's silver ship, but his identity was exposed and he met a man.

A fleet of ships appears out of nowhere and disrupts their good fortune.

Zheng Mang had realized that their whereabouts had been exposed, and was afraid that what would happen next would be out of control, so he sent a boat back to Bengang, reported the news to Zheng Yiguan, and asked Zheng Yiguan to leave here quickly to prevent Chen Zhongji from getting out of trouble.

Later, when he came back to report the news, Yan Siqi suddenly attacked Zheng Yiguan.

Zheng Yiguan, who was originally full of joy and waiting to pick peaches, was confused when he heard this. He hurriedly asked the person who reported the news who the sudden appearance of the fleet was. However, because the boat left a little early, he could not see it clearly.

It was the flag of the fleet, so it was unclear what the identity of the incoming vessel was. It could only be said that the fleet came suddenly, and judging from its appearance, it suggested that the incoming vessel was not a friendly one, and it was more likely that it was an enemy rather than a friend.

Moreover, when he was on his way back, the people on his boat vaguely heard the rumble of cannons coming from behind. The sound of cannons continued for a long time, and they had no idea what happened next.

After Zheng Yiguan heard this, his heart suddenly sank. He stood up and walked back and forth in the room, his mind racing, analyzing the possible consequences of this matter.

He couldn't guess the origin of this sudden appearance of the fleet, but from the fragmentary information brought back by the messenger, he felt very bad and very uneasy. From these fragmentary information, he basically understood

It can be concluded that Zheng Mang must have messed up this time.

The sudden appearance of this fleet disturbed his good fortune, and it was likely that he had a fierce conflict with Zheng Mang. So who did this fleet belong to? After thinking about it, he felt a wave of excitement in his heart.

I have a chill, because on the coast of Fujian, including the Taiwan Strait, the most powerful pirate now is Sea Wolf, and among the other larger pirate groups, he, Yan Siqi and Chu Cai are the only ones.

It is impossible for Chu Cailao's fleet to be operating in this area at this time, and most of Yan Siqi's men were withdrawn to this area during this period, but there is no news that a large number of ships under Yan Siqi went to sea.

Then the only remaining possibility is Sea Wolf! Only Sea Wolf's fleet may appear in this area at this time, and Yan Siqi and Sea Wolf are secretly making a deal this time, so it is very likely...

When Zheng Yiguan thought of this, cold sweat broke out from his pores. He turned around and immediately shouted: "Give me the order, everyone should clean up immediately, board the ship and leave here within an hour!..."

The village where Zheng Yiguan was located suddenly fell into chaos. Zheng Yiguan's men didn't know what happened. Why were they suddenly fine, but Zheng Yiguan seemed to be crazy?

They immediately packed up their things and evacuated the place. Some people wanted to ask Zheng Yiguan what happened and why he had to leave in such a hurry.

But anyone who asked was scolded by Zheng Yiguan, telling them to stop asking, just follow his instructions, prepare quickly, and leave here immediately.

So Zheng Yiguan's men gathered here were like a nest exploded, running around in the village, collecting all kinds of their valuables, and packed them and transported them to the dock for shipment.

At the same time, Zheng Yiguan also ordered that all the few Yan Siqi's men in the village were controlled, tied with ropes, and thrown into a room. Their mouths were also blocked to prevent them from speaking, let alone running to the big house.

Go to the village and report the news.

Because the incident happened suddenly, Zheng Yiguan stored a lot of valuables here. He didn't have time to pack them all and move them to the dock for loading.

So his men asked Zheng Yiguan to give them some grace and give them more time. After packing these things, they could load them on the ship and leave.

However, Zheng Yiguan refused at all and ordered them to pack only the most valuable and relatively light items onto the ship. As for the bulkier items and some less valuable items, they were simply thrown away here. In short,

Within an hour, everyone must board the ship, weigh anchor, and leave here.

Zheng Yiguan actually didn't have many people left here. Except for a few hundred people who stayed in the village, most of the rest of the people and ships were sent out by him to go to the coastal areas of Zhangquan during this period. Considering that he is currently in

The strength here is definitely not as strong as Yan Siqi's. If Yan Siqi chooses this time to completely fall out with him, he can only stay here for a day or two at most, and there is no way he can wait for his men to gather here to rescue him.

So at this time, Zheng Yiguan made a decisive decision without any hesitation. He would rather abandon some belongings than delay here any longer. After the village was in chaos for a while, Zheng Yiguan took hundreds of his men and ran away.

They went to their small dock and boarded six or seven boats parked here. Taking the belongings on board, they immediately raised the anchor and sailed away from the shore, leaving behind a bunch of confused immigrants on the shore.

I know why Mr. Zheng, who usually seems to be very popular, is going crazy today.

It wasn't until Zheng Yiguan and his people boarded the ship to disembark that someone reported the news to the main village. Yan Siqi learned about it. After hearing this, Yan Siqi was also shocked. He didn't know what Zheng Yiguan was today.

Why are you so crazy? Why did you suddenly take all his men on board the ship and leave here, and also put a lot of belongings on the ship, as if you were moving.

He even didn't believe the news. He asked twice in a row before he was sure that he heard it correctly. At first, he was secretly happy, thinking that Zheng Yiguan, the scourge, finally left on his own. It would be better if he left, and he would save money in the future.

I'm so worried about this guy.

But then I thought about it, this matter is unscientific! There is no reason for Zheng Yiguan to suddenly leave here in a hurry at this time! Could it be that he encountered some trouble?

Even if he wants to leave, at least there is no quarrel between Zheng Yiguan and him. Even if Zheng Yiguan is in a hurry and wants to leave, he can just say hello to him before leaving, and he will not stop him.

Are you holding him and not letting him go?

Yan Siqi was puzzled, so he quickly called some of his men and rushed toward the village where Zheng Yiguan was.

When he entered the village where Zheng Yiguan was, he discovered that the place was indeed deserted. The village was in a mess, with things thrown everywhere, many of which were actually quite valuable.

But Zheng Yiguan also left him here, obviously he didn't want it anymore.

So Yan Siqi didn't understand even more, and quickly sent people to search the village to see if they could find any clues.

After a while of struggling, they found a room where more than a dozen of Yan Siqi's men were imprisoned. All of them were tied tightly and even their mouths were gagged.

So Yan Siqi's men quickly released these dozen people and brought them to Yan Siqi.

Yan Siqi immediately asked them what happened, but these people were all confused. They just said that Zheng Yiguan suddenly ordered people to control them, tied them up one by one, and then gagged them.

He was thrown into a room, and then there was a commotion outside. Not long after, Zheng Yiguan led people to their small dock, boarded the boat and left. What exactly happened, they also

have no idea.

Yan Siqi was really confused by Zheng Yiguan at this time, and felt vaguely uneasy, because early this morning, he had just sent away Chen Zhongji and three ships, loaded with a full 40,000 taels of silver, and transported them to Nanyue Island.

In the afternoon, Zheng Yiguan and his men suddenly abandoned this place and left without saying goodbye.

So is there any connection between the two? Thinking of this, Yan Siqi broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately ordered people to rush to the dock, send more ships out to sea, and search in the direction of Nanyue Island.

Is there anything unusual at sea?

So all Yan Siqi's men in the Bengang area became busy. The ships soon began to pull anchor and set sail, sailed out of Bengang and headed towards the sea. Then they raised their full sails and accelerated towards Bengang.
