Daming pirates

However, Zheng Yiguan's wishful thinking was completely shattered by the sudden appearance of Yu Xiaotian's fleet. Yu Xiaotian's fleet not only disturbed his good fortune, but also attacked his men. He sent Zheng Yiguan to

Mang brought more than a dozen boats, and three to four hundred brothers went over, but they were beaten all over the face by Sea Wolf. Only Zheng Mang was left. Zheng Mang escaped with two or three scarred boats, and the rest of the boats were beaten by Sea Wolf.

The beatings were so severe that even Zheng Mang was almost beaten to death on the spot.

After Zheng Yiguan listened to Zheng Mang's cry, he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and he hated Yu Xiaotian so much.

He cursed angrily in the big tent. At first, he was impulsive and planned to gather all the strength of his men to have a big fight with Yu Xiaotian to see who was the stronger of the two.

This was something that Zheng Yiguan never dared to think about before, because he was just a small leader under Li Dan and Yan Siqi, and his strength could not compete with Yu Xiaotian's Sea Wolf, but now he is different, he

He took over almost all of Li Dan's dishes and put all of Li Dan's men into his pocket. Now he has over ten thousand people under his command and more than four hundred ships. Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty coast, he

Such strength is quite huge.

Therefore, Zheng Yiguan believed that he had the ability to confront Sea Wolf head-on, so he dared to clamor for a duel with Yu Xiaotian.

But when he calmed down a little, he immediately gave up the idea, because Zheng Yiguan was a very smart man, and he immediately realized that now was not the time to compete with Sea Wolf.

The reason is very simple. Although he is already very strong on the surface, in fact he is still not as powerful as Sea Wolf, because he has just taken over Li Dan's plate and has not yet been able to fully control all his subordinates. It can be said that he is still weak.

Without a stable footing, if you gather your men to challenge the sea wolf, you are basically seeking your own destruction.

As a new boss, when he is not yet stable, he must first let his subordinates taste the benefits of following him. The most important thing is to win over the hearts of his subordinates, instead of leading his subordinates to fight with others as soon as he takes the position.

, in that case, I'm afraid that once he suffers a loss, his subordinates will immediately overthrow him as the boss, turn around, surrender to Xiaotian on the spot, and turn around to deal with him. It may not be an accident.

After all, Yu Xiaotian's Sea Wolf is well-known, and its current reputation in Fujian can be said to be as high as the sky. Even the government has a headache for it, and it has already been registered with the court. What's more, Sea Wolf can cast cannons by itself.

The ships are also famous for their strong guns and powerful guns. The Sea Wolf tribe under him are brave and good at fighting, and they are even more talked about.

Now many colleagues along the coast of Fujian have fallen into his hands. Even the navy and navy have been beaten to a pulp by them. And now he is going to have a decisive battle with the sea wolf. Obviously, even if he does not hit the stone with an egg, the possibility of victory is still high.

It's extremely small, but the possibility of being beaten to pieces by a sea wolf is quite certain.

Zheng Yiguan had never seen the Sea Wolf fleet fighting against people before, and he didn't know how powerful the Sea Wolf fleet was, but this time Zheng Mang had a solid fight with the Sea Wolf fleet.

, and the strength of both sides was basically similar at that time. Zheng Mang even had an advantage in the number of ships, but he was still beaten by the Sea Wolf and was unable to fight back.

More than a dozen ships were almost annihilated by the Sea Wolf, but according to Zheng Mang, they basically did not cause much damage to the Sea Wolf.

There were many cannons in the Sea Wolf fleet, and they fired far and hard. The men led by Zheng Mang were basically being beaten by the opponent. They had no power to fight back. It could be said that they were completely beaten by the opponent. This is

This made Zheng Yiguan even more afraid of Sea Wolf, knowing how powerful Sea Wolf was.

Although Zheng Yiguan hated Yu Xiaotian to the extreme at this time, once he calmed down, he still did not dare to summon his subordinates to seek revenge on Yu Xiaotian.

So Zheng Yiguan sat down and began to discuss with his men what to do next.

Now, Zheng Yiguan has set up a whole team and has many so-called counselors under his command. These people quickly expressed their opinions and gave Zheng Yiguan advice.

Some people suggested that since Hailang and Yan Siqi could find a place to establish themselves on Taiyuan Island, Zheng Yiguan could also find a place to land on Taiyuan Island, and follow the example of Yan Siqi, encircling a piece of land and building a stronghold while building a stronghold.

Immigrated in large numbers from land and obtained a stable rear base.

However, these people's proposal was immediately opposed by others, because they believed that now that Hailang and Yan Siqi had established a foothold on Taiyuan Island, it would obviously be unwise to go to Taiyuan Island to enclosure now.

Because there are now sea wolves occupying Chicken Cage and Tamsui in the north, and Yan Siqi occupies Bengang in the south. If Zheng Yiguan goes to Taiyuan Island to build a stronghold, this location may not be easy to choose.

If they choose to build a stronghold between Bengang and Tamsui River, they may be attacked from the north and south by Yu Hailang and Yan Siqi. Then they may not be able to see each other, and they will eventually be forced to leave.

But if you continue to go south, the red-haired people have now occupied the Dayuan area, have built a red-haired city, and are building another red-haired city in another place.

In this case, there will inevitably be a conflict with the red-haired people, and the red-haired people will not agree to Zheng Yiguan creating such a piece of territory next to their bed.

This group of opponents suggested that it would be better to go directly back to the coast of Daming to find a place to have a big fight while they are still struggling on Taiyuan Island.

Zheng Yiguan's ancestral home is Zhangzhou, and many of his subordinates are now ancestral in the Zhangquan area. He is most familiar with the situation there. Although there is still Chu Cai there, and there are also sea wolves operating in Quanzhou, but now Quanzhou

The sea surface in this area is not completely controlled by the sea wolves, and the situation is relatively easy to open up.

Therefore, they might as well go directly to the Zhangquan area to find an island to establish a foothold first, which would make it easier to raid along the coast, conduct business at sea, and obtain manpower and supplies from land.

Regarding the two opinions put forward by his subordinates, Zheng Yiguan thought about it and thought that the second one was quite reasonable. Now he had a complete falling out with Yan Siqi and had a head-on conflict with Sea Wolf. He wanted to continue to stay in

Taiyuan Island is obviously not a good choice.

Although Taiyuan Island is not too far from the mainland, it is still several hundred miles away, and a round trip will take two to three days or even longer. Although it has the advantage of being far away from the mainland, when doing things, it is difficult to

Not very convenient.

On the contrary, my subordinates proposed to find a place to stay in the Zhangquan area. This idea is still feasible.

Although Chu Cai Lao exists, after Chu Cai Lao experienced the defeat of Nanyue Island, he suffered huge losses in both reputation and strength. He has not been able to recover in the past year, so it is no longer a cause for concern.

With his current strength, if he works with Chu Cai Lao, he is quite sure that he can squeeze Chu Cai Lao out of this territory. Moreover, he is also the most familiar with the situation of the Fujian army. The Fujian Navy has just been repaired by Sea Wolf.

After all, morale is low now, the number of warships is limited, and the officers and soldiers are terrible. There is no way to stop him from operating in the Zhangquan area.

So he chose the latter and decided to find a place for activities in the Zhangquan area next, but it was a bit troublesome to choose a specific place as their future home base.

After much discussion, Zheng Yiguan decided to choose the next location of their old camp at Ludao Island in Quanzhou, which was later known as Xiamen, and Kinmen Island.

There are many reasons why he chose Ludao and Kinmen Island. First of all, from a geographical point of view, the two islands are relatively large in area. There are fresh water and safe havens on the islands for them to use. More importantly,

These two islands are located on the coastal routes, which is extremely convenient for them to raid the sea and to obtain human and material resources from the land.

Another reason is that the armaments along the coast of Fujian are currently depleted. Although during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, there were guard cities and water forts on Ludao Island and Kinmen Island, but by this time, the guard posts in these two places had almost ceased to exist in name only.

, it doesn’t take much trouble to occupy it.

Another point is some personal reasons. Li Dan has a friend named Xu Xinsu who has a very good relationship with Li Dan. He has been cooperating with Li Dan for many years and doing business at sea. This person is from Quanzhou area.

The famous businessman controlled a large amount of raw silk trade.

However, Xu Xinsu and Zheng Yiguan had a bad relationship in the past because of some trivial matters. Xu Xinsu secretly told Li Dan that Zheng Yiguan was not available. Although Li Dan did not take him seriously, he offended Zheng Yiguan to death.

Now, Zheng Yiguan has remembered the bad things Xu Xinsu said about him, and has long planned to take revenge on this guy one day.

In the past, when Li Dan was not dead, he had no way to deal with Xu Xinsu, but now that Li Dan is dead and he has taken over the reins, he has the ability to take care of Xu Xinsu.

Although Xu Xinsu has a large business and has also done some pirate business part-time over the years, after all, he is mainly engaged in business and is not very strong. As long as he is killed, he can control the raw silk trade in Quanzhou, and raw silk is currently

It is undoubtedly one of the most popular commodities among Thai people, and they can earn a lot of money every year.

So for various purposes, Zheng Yiguan finally chose to enter the Quanzhou area next. After he established a foothold in the Quanzhou area, he planned to greatly expand his strength. Sooner or later, he would let Yu Xiaotian also

See how powerful he is.
