Daming pirates

Perak Island is actually the small island in the north of Nanyue Island that was used as a test ground by Sea Wolf. It was not called Perak Island before, but after it was used as a test ground by Sea Wolf, the sound of cannons there was rumbling every day, like thunder and thunder.

, so it was renamed Perak Island.

Yu Xiaotian had already ordered that the training site for Yan Siqi's gunners should be placed on Perak Island. This would not only allow Yan Siqi's men to concentrate on receiving training as soon as possible, but also prevent them from peeping too much on Nanyue Island.

What they saw, the council had arranged everything there in the past few days and set up a dozen tents to use as their temporary camp.

At the same time, more than ten gunners were selected from the navy to serve as their instructors and teach them the experience of fucking guns. Of course, the so-called teaching was reserved, and they only taught them how to fuck guns, but the deeper principle is not

It will be passed on to them, and the Sea Wolves will not be fooled by this.

The reason why Yu Xiaotian agreed to train gunners for them this time was not because Yu Xiaotian was generous, but because Yan Siqi gave him an extra five thousand taels of silver this time to purchase an additional batch of six-pound cannons, tiger squatting cannons and prisoner-killing cannons.

Cannon ammunition.

Yan Siqi and others used the samples provided by Xiaotian and after some test firing, they found that the gunpowder provided by Sea Wolf was far superior in quality and power to the gunpowder they usually used. Although they were all black powder, they

Their own gunpowder emits a lot of black smoke, but the smoke of Sea Wolf's gunpowder is relatively lighter in color and burns quite fully. For the same weight of gunpowder, the gunpowder produced by Sea Wolf is much more powerful than the gunpowder they use themselves.

In addition, Sea Wolf's cannonballs are specially cast and rough ground, and the inner diameter tolerance of the cannon is controlled relatively well. Yan Siqi discovered that the specially cast solid cannonballs used by Sea Wolf can be easily loaded directly into the cannon bore.

Long range, high accuracy, powerful

Larger, much easier to use than the cannonballs they cast themselves. If they replaced the cannonballs they cast themselves, the error would be very large. Either they couldn't fit into the cannon bore, or they were too small. This also made him understand Seawolf's skill in casting cannons better.

They are really strong and their details are much better than them.

As for the so-called cannons they used before, the shells were cast in simple workshops, including shotgun shells, which were directly made of messy stones, broken porcelain shards, broken iron shards and the like. The power at close range was acceptable, but

They couldn't fly far and couldn't fire accurately, so he had no choice but to reluctantly buy some ammunition from Sea Wolf to meet the needs of these artillery pieces.

Part of the extra five thousand taels of silver was considered as training fees for Sea Wolf, so Yu Xiaotian happily agreed to train some gunners on his behalf, so that they could master the skills of using these cannons, and save the cost of handing over the cannons.

Afterwards, they still used it as a big firecracker to set off, just to listen to the sound to strengthen their courage.

Now that Yan Siqi and Zheng Yiguan have reached such a quarrel, there is no longer any possibility of making peace. The two sides will definitely fight fiercely next. Arming Yan Siqi to deal with Zheng Yiguan is more in line with Yu Xiaotian's interests. A fight

Proxy war, for him, is the best option at the moment.

In fact, not everything in this world requires you to do it yourself and fight with others. In fact, many wars in history are not fought by the opposing parties. Behind them, one or both sides often have a giant standing behind them, manipulating them.

Using their puppets to fight wars, they can obtain greater benefits for themselves without paying too much price.

Now although Yan Siqi cannot be regarded as his puppet of Yu Xiaotian, he should be regarded as his ally to some extent for the time being, but the status of the two parties is not equal. Yan Siqi seeks help from Yu Xiaotian, but Yu Xiaotian is the person behind the scenes.

, we need to let Yan Siqi jump to the front desk and become Zheng Yiguan's enemy.

It's so unpredictable! In normal time and space in history, Zheng Yiguan should be Yan Siqi's successor. However, due to the unexpected appearance of Yu Xiaotian, Yan Siqi changed his destiny. He did not die of a sudden illness, but Zheng Yiguan died of a sudden illness.

Yu Xiaotian thought it was a bit unbelievable that an official became his enemy, but it actually happened in this time and space.

Now that things have developed to this point, Yu Xiaotian is happy to let Yan Siqi help him deal with Zheng Yiguan. In this time and space, he has unconsciously regarded Zheng Yiguan as one of his biggest enemies.

This man is smart, ruthless, unscrupulous, and extremely powerful. As long as he is still hanging around at sea, sooner or later he will face a head-on challenge from this man.

He now does not want to see this person rise too quickly, and even hopes that this person will never rise. For this reason, it is necessary for him to establish some enemies for him and set up some stumbling blocks on his way forward.

There is no doubt that Yan Siqi is a very good choice. This person is courageous and has certain strength. He happens to be Zheng Yiguan's former boss and has a very special status. As Zheng Yiguan's enemy, he will make Zheng Yiguan very passive morally.

, if Yan Siqi were stronger, then if Zheng Yiguan wanted to rise as quickly as in the original historical time and space in a short period of time, it would cause a lot of trouble, and it could even be said to be disgusting.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian is happy to help Yan Siqi more now and let Yan Siqi act as his agent to fight Zheng Yiguan first. After he frees up his hands and energy, it will not be too late to turn around and deal with Zheng Yiguan.

Now that Yan Siqi wanted him to help train some gunners, it was natural that Yu Xiaotian would not object to this, so when Chen Xun made this request to him on behalf of Yan Siqi, he immediately agreed.

Of course, Yu Xiaotian can also make money by doing this. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone. It not only meets Yan Siqi's needs, but also meets his needs. The technical output can still be exchanged for money. As long as it is controlled well, it will not matter to him.

What threats arise.

Therefore, this time Chen Xun brought people over, and Yu Xiaotian was very enthusiastic towards them. Although he ignored them because Lan'er gave birth to a child, Luo Xianbin, who came back with the ship, still informed the council of Yu Xiaotian's instructions, and the council immediately

Arrangements were made without neglecting Chen Xun and the others.

During the Spring Festival, news began to spread throughout the seas around Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi that Zheng Yiguan, as Yan Siqi's subordinate, actually committed a crime and secretly tried to intercept his boss's silver, but fled after the failure.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles. Zheng Yiguan's behavior immediately caused a big taboo among his peers. Although as a pirate, it is natural for the big fish to eat the small fish and the small fish to eat the shrimp.

, it has always been common among pirates for the younger brother to overthrow the boss and become the leader, but this kind of thing is a taboo in the world after all. If it succeeds, it will be done, but once it fails, it will be looked down upon by others.

So for a while, Zheng Yiguan's reputation became so bad among pirates that many people were unwilling to deal with him anymore.

After Zheng Yiguan escaped from Bengang with his men, he ran to Nanyu Island in Penghu and regarded it as his temporary old camp.

Although the Ming Dynasty fought tooth and nail to drive away the red-haired people from the Penghu Islands, after the Battle of Penghu, troops were not stationed in Penghu for a long time. The Penghu Inspection Department was actually a virtual entity. It only sent a small number of officers and soldiers to patrol ships in the summer every year.

They went to this area for some activities, stayed there for a few months, and then withdrew to the land. Most of the year, there were no Ming troops stationed here.

Nanyu Island is the southernmost island among the Penghu Islands. Its area is not too small, about seven square kilometers. There are several natural harbors where ships can dock for shelter, and there are also fresh water resources on the island that can be used for drinking.

, the natural conditions are good, but due to the decline of Ming Dynasty's power and its control over Penghu, Nanyu Island has been unmanned for a long time. Even when the flood soldiers came to Penghu to garrison and patrol in summer, they rarely paid attention to it.

So now after Zheng Yiguan escaped from Bengang, he regarded this place as his temporary home. For a while, the government knew nothing about it. Even if the government knew about it, because it was far away from the mainland, there was no way to short-circuit it.

They should be suppressed within a short period of time, not to mention that now because of the sea wolf, the government does not pay much attention to this area.

This allowed Zheng Yiguan to find a temporary nest in the sea without becoming a lost dog.

Although the conditions of Nanyu Island are also good, after all, the layout is too small, with only a few square kilometers, which cannot meet Zheng Yiguan's needs. Therefore, Zheng Yiguan can only use this place as a temporary old camp. He must find a way to get it.

Just a more suitable place to stay.

Originally, Zheng Yiguan's original plan was to one day replace Yan Siqi and use the Bengang area as his old camp. In the future, he could not only do business here, but also conveniently go out to the mainland coast for plundering. It was a good choice for him.

In the future, establishing a foothold on the coast of the Ming Dynasty will provide a stable rear base.

But he didn't expect that one careless moment caused him to almost lose everything, and that his behavior would be suddenly exposed, forcing him to make a decisive decision, abandon Bengang and escape with his men, and hid in Nanyu Island.

A small island sheltered from the wind.

After Zheng Mang failed in the ambush of Yan Siqi's silver ship, he took two of his men's ships and fled. They didn't even dare to return to Bengang along the way, and fled directly to the temporary old camp they occupied on Nanyu Island to stabilize themselves.

God.

As soon as Zheng Mang arrived at Nanyu Island, Zheng Yiguan hurriedly fled here from Bengang with his men, and reunited with Zheng Mang.

It was only then that Zheng Yiguan learned the details of this incident. As he expected, the fleet that suddenly appeared was none other than Yu Xiaotian's Sea Wolf fleet. The appearance of this fleet completely confused him.

The original plan also disrupted his good fortune.

For this reason, Zheng Yiguan immediately hated Xiaotian. If Yu Xiaotian's fleet hadn't suddenly intervened, he could easily take down Yan Siqi's silver ship this time and force Yan Siqi into a blind corner.

among.

Once Yan Siqi loses these 40,000 taels of silver, his strength will definitely decline. He will never be able to get so much silver to buy cannons in a short time. If he continues to forcefully buy cannons, he will have no money to give to his men.

He only needed to send people to block the channel for Yan Siqi's men to go to sea, and he could trap Yan Siqi to death in Bengang.

When the time comes, Yan Siqi has no money to pay his subordinates, so he only needs to take advantage of the opportunity to show favors, and Yan Siqi's former subordinates will flock to his side. Even if he doesn't kill Yan Siqi, Yan Siqi will no longer be the boss.

, and he can legitimately inherit Yan Siqi's position and bring Bengang into his hands.
