Daming pirates

The most important thing is that he allocated money from the vassal treasury and ordered the coastal provinces to vigorously build ships and revive the navy. Now it has achieved certain results.

According to his statistics, the number of naval warships along the coast of Fujian has now risen to more than 400, and they are located in various water villages. Among them, there are more than 200 new ships of various types, some of which are confiscated ships.

The merchant's large ship was simply repaired and then allocated to the navy for use.

In addition, a number of new warships were built in shiphouses in various places, and there were more than a hundred of them. Of course, taking advantage of this opportunity, many officials made a lot of money, forcing some shiphouses to donate to the government.

Many boathouse bosses went bankrupt, but in any case, under his preparation, the strength of the Fujian Navy was greatly improved.

In addition, he ordered Yu Zigao, the commander-in-chief of southern Fujian, to be stationed in Quanzhou to train the navy, and Zhang Jiace, the deputy commander-in-chief of Fujian, to be stationed in Fuzhou to train the navy. Now the navy's strength has also increased significantly, and with the various artillery and firearms allocated to them, it has greatly increased

There are plans to revive the Fujian Navy.

In his opinion, the time to deal with the sea wolves is now relatively mature, so recently he has secretly prepared and started operations to suppress the sea wolves. At the very least, he must expel them from Nanri Island and destroy Nanri Island.

Take it back.

But now Zheng Yiguan has appeared and caused a lot of trouble in the Zhangquan area. This makes Zhu Yifeng a bit in a dilemma. Should he deal with the sea wolf first, or should he deal with Zheng Yiguan first? Now it has become a show-off.

a question before him.

So he secretly summoned his staff and began to discuss the matter.

In fact, his staff had roughly guessed Zhu Yifeng's intentions. It was just that Zhu Yifeng never mentioned the idea of ​​​​invading the sea wolves in the past. Naturally, they were inconvenient to ask for trouble. But now that Zhu Yifeng has expressed his stance, then

They, the staff, should think about their master.

These staff members have been paying attention to the activities of Sea Wolf and pirates along the coast during this period. To be honest, they don’t have much dislike for Sea Wolf. Sea Wolf knows how to advance and retreat. During the holidays or when they

When something goes wrong, they always have a lot to deal with.

Moreover, apart from the fact that the sea wolves raided the coastal area many times last year because Prime Minister Zhu Qin was unfavorable to them, the sea wolves usually do things very restrained. They are not like their counterparts who specialize in plundering for a living. The sea wolves are very disciplined in their business.

, is quite famous in the coastal areas and is also popular among the poor people along the coast.

Speaking of which, Sea Wolf is really not too evil, but some local gentry are actually local snakes, and he hates them very much, because Sea Wolf has done many things, which are beneficial to the people, but have greatly harmed their interests.

, so much so that these gentry and local gangsters tried their best to put pressure on the government, hoping that the government would send troops to deal with the sea wolf and restore their previous so-called order.

This is also the reason why the two governors tried their best to eliminate them, because they represent the interests of the gentry and scholars. They cannot pay much attention to the thoughts of ordinary people, and what they hear more is

The voices of these people, so in the eyes and ears of high-ranking officials, Sea Wolf is extremely evil.

Now that Mr. Futai thinks that the time is ripe, it is up to them to find a way for him and arrange an invasion. But now Zheng Yiguan appears again, which temporarily puts Zhu Yifeng in a dilemma.

, I don’t know who to attack first.

Among the staff, there was a man named Tian Youren, who was Zhu Yifeng's most trusted staff member. He had been working with Zhu Yifeng a long time ago. He was steady and steady in his work and gained Zhu Yifeng's trust.

Among Zhu Yifeng's many staff members, Tian Youren is considered the chief of staff and the chief assistant, so his words carry great weight among the staff.

After understanding Zhu Yifeng's thoughts, Tian Youren called his colleagues together and said to them: "This is the case now. Master Futai is quite troubled by this matter.

Now, thanks to the efforts of Master Futai, there should be money here in Fujian. The strength of naval warships has increased sharply, and Fubiao has been suppressed in various places. After the Master's various rectifications in the past six months, the combat power has increased a lot.

, so the time is basically ripe!

But now Zheng Yiguan has appeared. This Zheng Yiguan has raided the coastal areas many times in Zhangquan and other places. He even surpassed Chu Cailao and became a great harm to the party!

So what Mr. Futai has to worry about right now is whether he should kill Yu Hailang first or Zheng Yiguan first. Since you and I are trustworthy people of Mr. Futai, we should make more suggestions for this matter!"

After hearing this, the staff immediately expressed their opinions. Some people suggested that Zheng Yiguan should be eliminated first. The reason is very simple. Zheng Yiguan's entry will cause the most trouble, and this person has recently risen, and his strength should not be as strong as Sea Wolf. This can be

From the fact that Zheng Yiguan never dared to cross the Quanzhou area and go to Xinghua Prefecture and the coast of Fuzhou to cause trouble, it can be seen that Zheng Yiguan was also very afraid of the sea wolf.

Since Zheng Yiguan is causing trouble now, we should use troops against him first. This is relatively more certain.

However, some people disagree with this opinion, because their reasons are also very good. They know very well why Zhu Yifeng, after taking over as governor of Fujian for more than half a year, has devoted himself to overhauling war equipment and building boats. His main purpose is to deal with sea wolves.

To recapture Nanri Island.

Although Zheng Yiguan is causing a lot of trouble in the Zhangquan area, he is not occupying an island like a sea wolf. The more important reason is that Zheng Yiguan is elusive and it is impossible to figure out who he is now.

Where is his lair?

If we want to attack Zheng Yiguan, we must at least find Zheng Yiguan's old camp before we can suppress him. But now we don't even know where his old camp is. There are rumors that his old camp is now roughly in the Penghu area.

, but it is not clear which island it is on.

Even if they knew where Zheng Yiguan's old camp was, Penghu was too far away from the shore. The last time he stayed in Yinan and Futai, he mobilized troops to drive away the red-haired people entrenched in Penghu. However, it took a full year to finally get it.

The red-haired people were driven away from Penghu.

Because Penghu is too far away, once troops are used against it, it will require too much logistical support. It seems that financial resources have recovered somewhat now, but who knows how much this battle will cost.

There is another problem. If Zheng Yiguan had not competed with the officers and soldiers, and learned that the officers and soldiers were attacking him, he would have just abandoned his old camp and found a place to hide. The officers and soldiers would have struggled to stop him.

The final result is still in vain. When the time comes to shoot the bow without an arrow to turn back, it becomes a joke because it cannot catch the opponent.

On the contrary, Nanri Island, where sea wolves are entrenched, is very close to the shore. Starting from Xinghua Prefecture, the nearest island is only a dozen miles away, and you can reach it by just walking.

Moreover, Hailang has been running Nanri Island for a long time and will not abandon it easily. Even now there are rumors that Hailang occupies a large area on Taiyuan Island and there seems to be great potential for immigration and farming.

They regard Taiyuan Island as their home base, but Taiyuan Island is not the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Their purpose is only to drive the sea wolves away from Nanri Island and regain Nanri Island. Even if they have done their best, they will be able to do it when the time comes.

This was a victory for the imperial court.

Therefore, it is more certain to attack Nanri Island than to go to Zheng Yiguan. The sea wolf can escape, but the monk cannot escape the temple. As long as they are driven out of Nanri Island, it does not matter whether the sea wolf can be destroyed or not.

The key is to drive him to Taiyuan Island, that's enough.

However, many people are worried about this proposal, because they have been paying attention to the movements of sea wolves recently. Although sea wolves have been relatively peaceful recently and have not messed up along the coast, the power of sea wolves is all in their memories.

Still new.

Last year, the sea wolf fleet bombarded Puxi Station, burned down Nanri Water Village, and annihilated the battle of naval warships gathered in Nanri Water Village, but they are all still vivid in my mind.

It is said that Sea Wolf can forge its own Hongyi cannons and build its own ships. This is no longer a rumor, and it is basically certain that it is true.

What's more important is that they have all heard recently that Sea Wolf fought a battle with a large fleet of Ganlusi people in Manila on Taiyuan Island. Instead of losing to the large fleet of Ganlusi people, they actually fought.

This was a great victory, almost destroying the large fleet of the Ganlusi people, and even captured two large plywood boats of the Ganlusi people.

This is no small matter. When Nan Juyi attacked the Penghu Red-haired People, he used as many as 200 naval warships. However, the Red-haired People only had a few large and small plywood boats in Penghu, but they always left the official navy without any

Method, several battles, the navy and navy suffered heavy losses. I only heard that the navy used fire boats and finally burned a red-haired man's plywood boat, and it was a single-masted boat. The opponent's large plywood boat, they had nothing

way.

However, the Sea Wolves relied solely on their own strength to annihilate a large fleet of large Thai plywood boats. This shows that the Sea Wolves are so powerful at sea that they may not be able to deal with them.

of.

This is also the biggest reason against the attack on the Sea Wolf faction, and those who support the attack on the Sea Wolf have no explanation for this, but they believe that although the Sea Wolf is strong, they are thieves after all, and Nanri Island is far away from the mainland.

Recently, their advantages may not be fully utilized.

What's more, after half a year of preparation, the army is no longer as unbearable as before. Many new warships have been built, and some Hongyi cannons have also been installed on these warships. Even if Seawolf is very strong in naval combat,

It may not be able to stop the tide of official and military fleets heading towards Nanri Island.

In addition, many of them have always been skeptical about the Sea Wolf's defeat of the Ganlusi fleet, thinking that this incident was just a rumor, possibly spread by Sea Wolf himself, not to mention that the war took place in Taiwan.

On Yuan Island, except for the people from Hailang, no one else can confirm the authenticity of this matter.
