Daming pirates

When Yu Xiaotian listened to the information that Lin Yiyang helped him collect and sort out, he felt that the situation was getting bigger and bigger. The situation was too complicated!

Zhu Yifeng insisted on operating on him and was unable to deal with him. He had no choice but to challenge him. But if it was just the Fujian army, he didn't have much to worry about. With his current naval strength, he was confident

Ensure that the general's army and navy can be easily defeated at sea.

This is not just him, but many officers of the navy also think so, because compared to the fleet of the Ganrasi people, apart from the large number of ships, the navy's firepower is simply incomparable, and the sea wolf does not use it at all.

In a boarding battle with them, relying on the firepower of the Sea Wolf fleet, they can easily defeat the navy.

If it were just to deal with the official army, then Yu Xiaotian would not have much pressure at all. Now after more than half a year of development, Seawolf's naval fleet has grown into a quite powerful naval force. As long as they are not taken to Europe

In a battle with the navies of various European maritime powers, here in Asia, he believed that no single force could easily defeat him.

Although his navy can only be regarded as an offshore navy at present and does not have the ability to sail around the world at all, it only has the ability to sail offshore, but this does not prevent his Sea Wolf Navy from being able to dominate the rest of Asia.

This battle with the Spanish fleet at Jilong Bay has tested the capabilities of his navy, so now he does not take the Fujian Navy seriously at all.

But at present, it seems that the official developments in Fujian have had a great impact on the various forces at sea. Now it can be seen at least that Yan Siqi is determined to stand on his side and will advance and retreat with him, and

Although Chu Cai Lao was not like Yan Siqi, who wanted to tie himself to Sea Wolf's warship and advance and retreat with him, after these few months of contact, Chu Cai Lao had been completely shocked by him.

At least it can be guaranteed that Chu Cailao will not take advantage of the situation and side with the government this time, and now Zheng Yiguan will definitely not miss this opportunity and stab him in the back while the government is about to use troops against him.

What troubled him the most was the attitude of the Dutch. In the past two years, he had not had much contact with the Dutch. He only had trade contacts. Sometimes he would sell some goods directly to the Dutch and buy them from the Dutch.

He exchanged his hands for some useful materials, but actually they didn't interact much, and the two parties basically got along well.

He does not want to fall out with the Dutch for the time being. He does not intend to break up the three forces of Spaniards, Dutch, and Portuguese in Asia. Only when they compete with each other can he profit from it. But if the Dutch are removed from the

If the member is driven away, then he will lose a trading partner.

At the moment, he does not have the ability to directly traffic goods to Europe or Africa or even India. Instead, he relies on the navy to carry out smuggling operations at sea every year. To put it bluntly, it is robbery, and he can obtain a large amount of goods, which are specially

There are not many onshore sales channels for goods intended for export, and the prices are not high either.

The main way to sell stolen goods cannot be on land, but to be sold to the Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, and even the British. If any of them are currently expelled from the coast of China, it will not be seen by the Sea Wolf.

Gaining is a good thing. Before he can obtain the ability to reach the world, he still needs to use these companies to compete with each other, profit from them, and sell the goods in his hands to them.

In addition, Sea Wolf has a large amount of stolen goods to sell every year. Through the efforts of Mao Shengyuan, it also has a lot of supply on land. These goods cannot be sold just by relying on Ming's own consumption power, so

It also needs to be sold to these Europeans and let them transport it to other parts of the world for sale.

Therefore, he did not want to deal with the Dutch occupation of Dayuan for the time being, and he also sent people to have a look at Dayuan. At present, the Dutch's defense facilities in Dayuan are still very crude. They only built a castle, which is Jelan.

Covering the city, it has not really taken shape yet.

Moreover, the Dutch garrison situation in Daguang was not very good. Overall, there were only about 500 to 800 infantrymen of various races, maybe even less.

In addition to the infantry, they don't have many artillery on the mainland, and there are only a handful of heavy artillery. They haven't even built a decent fort. At best, they are just two weak artillery forts and defense facilities.

Very ordinary.

The Dutch's maritime power, where the generals were stationed, was not very strong. At most, there were only seven or eight Dutch ships, but most of the time, there were only four or five ships.

And these ships are not big, there are only one or two gunboats with a displacement of more than 400 tons, and the rest are single-masted armed cargo ships with a displacement of 100 to 200 tons. If he wants to capture the big ones now, it is actually

It is absolutely certain that with his current strength of navy and soldiers, it will only take a month at most, or even less, to capture the leader.

He could even do it, and when attacking the generals, there would not even be a chance for the Dutch to run to Batavia for help. This was something he had full confidence in.

But now he has received a tip. This time Zhu Yifeng actually decided to involve the Dutch and ask them to send troops to deal with him, Sea Wolf. This matter is more troublesome.

He had just fought a battle with the Spaniards, and the shipping route in Manila was temporarily at a standstill. He would have to see what the Spaniards' attitude was next, so for the time being, he did not want to have another conflict with the Dutch.

But now it seems that the Dutch are actually very interested in helping the Ming Dynasty government to deal with him. If the Dutch want to get involved in the muddy waters, this matter will be very troublesome.

He was not afraid of the Dutch fleet, but he had to admit that if the government united with the Dutch fleet to deal with him this time, and Zheng Yiguan was watching him from the side, he would be ready to attack him at any time.

If you interfere, he will be in trouble.

After all, the Dutch fleet has strong combat effectiveness, strong single-ship firepower, fast sailing speed, rich combat experience in the crew, and rich experience in commanding operations. If he only fights against the Dutch, he will not

He would be afraid. Relying on his tactics against the Spanish, he was confident of severely damaging the Dutch fleet.

But now that the government and the Dutch are colluding together, this matter is in trouble. There is also Zheng Yiguan. Neither of them is weak. If they are tied together, he will not be able to deal with it easily.

Currently, he only has one ally in Yan Siqi, and Yan Siqi's fleet is not very powerful. Even if he is only asked to contain Zheng Yiguan, Yan Siqi will not be able to do it easily.

In this case, he may have some problems if he wants to defend Nanri Island.

Yu Xiaotian rubbed his temples and muttered: "This Zhu Yifeng can still come up with such an idea! This bastard is to the extreme. This old fool would rather let the Dutch occupy our Chinese land and monopolize China's maritime trade than

You want me to do this business, ***! What is this all about!"

In fact, this was not the first time that officials of the Ming Dynasty used Europeans to help them destroy pirates. As early as the middle of the 16th century, after the Portuguese had just defrauded Macau, the Ming Dynasty officials discovered that these Thais were

The combat power at sea was very strong, so they began to collude with the Portuguese to help the Ming Dynasty government suppress bandits at sea.

In order to achieve the goal of being entrenched in Macau for a long time and conducting stable trade with the Ming Dynasty, the Portuguese were also happy to use this method to act as the Ming Dynasty's thugs and attack pirates for the Ming Dynasty government, in order to please the Ming Dynasty government and obtain

The right to reside in Hao Jing O for a long time.

During this period, he helped the Ming Dynasty officials to eliminate many groups of pirates many times, including even pirates who had cooperated with them. Under the instructions of the Ming Dynasty officials, they were caught off guard by turning their guns.

These Europeans are inherently profit-seeking and will do anything for their own benefit. Even at this time, the Portuguese were willing to help the Ming government deal with the slaves. At the request of the Ming Dynasty officials, they organized some personnel to provide assistance to the Ming Dynasty.

The army served as artillery instructors, teaching the artillerymen of the Ming Dynasty army to learn the art of gunnery, and even directly participated in the war to help the Ming Dynasty army fight against the Jiannu.

In the eyes of these Europeans, if they want to obtain long-term and stable benefits from trade with the Ming Dynasty, they must cooperate with the Ming Dynasty court and help the Ming Dynasty court do some things, so as to gain the support of the Ming Dynasty court and the government. They

Only then can greater benefits be obtained.

In fact, in the original time and space, Zhu Yifeng also colluded with the Dutch to deal with Zheng Yiguan. At that time, Zheng Yiguan had changed his name to Zheng Zhilong. At this time, he had become the strongest pirate group in Fujian.

The Fujian area was in serious trouble and became the biggest headache for the Fujian government.

At that time, Zheng Zhilong attacked Haicheng, Yuegang, and Zhongzuo many times, trying to control the maritime trade activities along the entire Fujian coast. This affected the interests of the Dutch, so the Dutch and the Fujian government hit it off.

So they joined forces to deal with Zheng Zhilong.

But the result was not good. Zheng Zhilong was already quite powerful at that time. First, he defeated Yu Zigao in Kinmen and Xiamen, burned nearly 200 naval warships and various civilian ships, and completely crippled the Fujian Navy.

.

The Dutch did not get any advantage. At the invitation of the government, they went to Tongshan to attack Zheng Zhilong's fleet. Zheng Zhilong came out in full force and fought with the Dutch. As a result, the Dutch were hungry and unable to fight against the wolves, and were severely defeated.

In the defeat, five ships were lost, one was burned, four were captured, and only two escaped. For a long time, the entire Taiwan Strait was controlled by Zheng Zhilong, and the Dutch did not even dare to approach the coast of Fujian.

But now in this time and space, Zheng Zhilong, who used to be the strongest in history, has been replaced by Yu Xiaotian and has become a thorn in the side of the government. He will be attacked by the government, the Dutch and even Zheng Yiguan.

When Yu Xiaotian thought about it, he felt that this thing was weird, a little angry and a little funny. If he defeated the army and the Dutch this time, then when Xiong Wencan comes next, should he try his best to appease him?

Where is it?

If the government wants to appease him, what should he do?

Yu Xiaotian shook his head and put this matter behind him. The most important thing for him now is to solve the problem at hand first. What should he do?
