Daming pirates

As long as the purpose of this battle can be achieved, it means that after this battle, the entire Fujian army will basically lose all their elites. At least within two years, there will no longer be any possibility of launching an attack on him.

After a decent conquest, the entire Fujian coast will become his possession.

Yu Xiaotian is extremely confident about defeating the navy of the imperial army. Looking at the maritime power he currently has on hand, looking at the entire Chinese sea, there are not many that can compete with it, and his navy has

The firepower is probably one of the few in Asia.

Even the current Dutch and Spanish warships cannot get an advantage in front of his fleet. In the old time and space, Zheng Zhilong was able to defeat the Dutch fleet that came to help the government to suppress him.

, let alone him now, if he can't do this, then he really should find a place to wash and sleep.

The key now is to get rid of the big trouble Zheng Yiguan first. Before the government and the Dutch launch an attack on Nanri Island, eliminate this threat first, so that they can save one more help when the time comes.

Therefore, in the following days, Yu Xiaotian began to mobilize the naval force on a large scale and began to go south to use troops against Zheng Yiguan. At this time, Zheng Yiguan was also working hard to give Sea Wolf a show of strength.

Zheng Yiguan also got the news that the government would probably wait until the sea storms subsided in October to launch an attack on Nanri Island. Therefore, during this period, he decided to send some ships to follow the example of Chu Cai Lao to control the sea wolf.

In the sea area, launch harassment operations.

A group of Zheng Yiguan's ships had already begun to go north and entered the area controlled by Sea Wolf. They began to attack passing merchant ships and fishing boats. In this way, they wanted to attract the power of Sea Wolf into their territory.

, unable to escape until the army launches an attack on the Sea Wolf, then he will take advantage of the opportunity.

For this reason, he also contacted the Dutch people here, explaining his thoughts and expressing his willingness to help the Dutch deal with these sea wolves, hoping to get the support of the Dutch.

Reyoz, who was already thinking about eliminating the threat from the Sea Wolf to them, immediately agreed to Zheng Yiguan's request. After all, Zheng Yiguan was Li Dan's subordinate and had helped them when they were in Penghu.

They intercepted passing merchant ships and forced them to trade in Penghu.

Later, Li Dan and Xu Xinsu helped the Dutch negotiate with the Ming Dynasty officials, and finally pointed out a clear path for them, allowing them to retire as senior officials and establish a trading port.

Although they now have a hostile relationship with Zheng Yiguan because of Xu Xinsu, the Dutch have a reputation for being shameless. They will not adhere to any principles at all and are willing to do anything that is beneficial to them.

So Reyoz immediately agreed to Zheng Yiguan's request and sold him twenty artillery pieces, and also sold him a batch of gunpowder and matchlock guns to strengthen Zheng Yiguan's strength, hoping that Zheng Yiguan

Before the arrival of their fleet, the first officer restrained the sea wolf, so that the sea wolf would not get the news and run to the senior officer first to cause trouble for the Dutch.

After Zheng Yiguan obtained these supplies, his strength recovered slightly and he began to increase his raids on areas controlled by Sea Wolf.

But not long after his harassment operation started, Yu Xiaotian reacted. With the recent increase in attacks on the ocean in Xinghua Prefecture and Fuzhou, Yu Xiaotian determined that these incidents should be caused by Zheng Yi.

Made by officials.

After having the experience of dealing with Chu Cailao at the end of last year, it seemed much easier for him to deal with it this time. Sea Wolf's own naval strength has now increased several times compared to the end of last year, and the available weapons are

The number of ships has at least doubled and many more.

So he dispatched light ships to delineate areas of responsibility between sea lanes and fishing grounds in a relay manner, allowing these ships to patrol in their respective areas. Once suspicious ships were found, they were immediately punished.

Hunt them down and destroy them immediately if they encounter resistance.

In addition, he mobilized the main ships and assembled the fastest Feihao clippers, divided them into three groups, and went south in a big way to carry out raids in the Penghu area. He basically disabled Zheng Yiguan first and made him lose his power. Then he sent people and ships to the Penghu area.

The ability to harass on his territory.

To this end, he also notified Yan Siqi and Chu Cailao, asking them to cooperate with the Sea Wolf to suppress Zheng Yiguan entrenched in the Penghu area from all directions.

Now Zheng Yiguan is having a hard time. In the past, he had a hard time fighting against Yan Siqi and Chu Cai Lao. Now that Sea Wolf has begun to go into battle shirtless in person and has also joined in the attack on him, he has become a little nervous.

I can't bear it anymore.

After Yan Siqi learned the instructions given to him by Yu Xiaotian, without saying a word, he immediately led his fleet to the Penghu area to search for Zheng Yiguan's ships, preparing to take advantage of this opportunity to take revenge.

.

After receiving the information from Yu Xiaotian, Mr. Chu Cai hesitated for a while and finally decided to cooperate with Sea Wolf's actions at this time and send some of his ships to join in the suppression of Zheng Yiguan.

Throughout July and August, the ocean around Penghu, which was not very lively before, began to become extremely lively. The ships of the three forces, Sea Wolf, Yan Siqi, and Chu Cai, shuttled back and forth on the ocean around Penghu like a revolving lantern.

, intercepted and pursued all ships that appeared in this area.

Although Zheng Yiguan quickly reduced his strength and wanted to keep his current temporary home, how could he withstand so many enemies coming to trouble him? In July and August, the ships he sent were repeatedly attacked by the sea.

The ships of Lang, Yan Siqi, Chu Cailao and other forces intercepted him and were either destroyed on the spot or captured by the opponent, causing him to be hit one after another and suffering a huge loss in strength.

By the end of August, Sea Wolf's Feizihao clipper finally found Zheng Yiguan's lair at sea. A few days later, a large number of Sea Wolf warships, Yan Siqi's fleet and a small number of Chu Cailao's ships sailed.

Arrive at Nantian Island where Zheng Yiguan is currently occupying as a temporary old camp.

Nantian Island is also known as Lantau, and was renamed Qimei Island in later generations. Although it is not a desert island in this time and space, there are only a few islanders who cultivate farmland or fish for a living here because it is relatively far away from the main island of Penghu.

It's far away and usually not on the waterway, so it doesn't attract much attention.

Since Zheng Yiguan had no home base, he regarded this place as his temporary old camp. For more than half a year, he set out from here and continuously attacked Zhangquan and other places.

Although Hailang and Yan Siqi both knew that Zheng Yiguan had an old camp in Penghu, they never found Nantian Island. This time they finally caught Zheng Yiguan.

Zheng Yiguan had no intention of using Nantian Island as his old camp for a long time, so he did not build a strong fortress here. He only set up a camp, built a dock, and built some houses for his men to live in.

There are also some warehouses built for storing stolen goods.

When he discovered that a large number of Sea Wolf and Yan Siqi's ships began to sail towards his Nantian Island, Zheng Yiguan knew that his time in Penghu was coming to an end.

In the three-party joint campaign against him for more than a month, Zheng Yiguan lost a lot of strength during this period. His subordinates no longer obeyed his orders. Overall, his strength has dropped to less than a hundred.

There are ships of various types, among which there are less than twenty large ships, and they have no more than 3,000 men.

Now Sea Wolf has gathered a large number of ships, Yan Siqi's fleet and a small number of Chu Cai's old men have come to help in the battle. More than a hundred ships have been deployed around Nantian Island, including more than 60 large ships. Zheng Yi

The officer simply could no longer stop their attack.

So before Sea Wolf's main fleet surrounded Nantian Island, Zheng Yiguan once again made a decisive decision and led his men to load some of the goods on the island. He immediately abandoned Nantian Island and headed towards the Guangdong sea.

He fled and completely became a wandering bandit without an old camp, embarking on a journey of escape that lasted for several years.

Fortunately, although Zheng Yiguan can no longer stand in Fujian, he still has a wide path in Japan and controls a considerable trade with Japan. Otherwise, Zheng Yiguan will just come down for a while.

It is basically about to fall apart. No one is willing to follow a leader who cannot support his subordinates! At least Zheng Yiguan still has this ability, otherwise he may be sold by his subordinates.

In this way, Yu Xiaotian had eliminated a force that was a great threat to him before the beginning of September, and completely drove Zheng Yiguan away from Fujian and the Taiwan Strait, and rushed to Guangdong.

Zheng Yiguan's roots were in the land of Zhangquan. After losing this place, he went to Guangdong and faced competition from many peers. Even if he had connections with the Portuguese, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold. Even if he could barely stand,

, it is impossible to achieve long-term and rapid development. Within a few years, Yu Xiaotian basically no longer has to think about how to deal with Zheng Yiguan.

However, Yu Xiaotian was not satisfied with this result. He originally wanted to completely eliminate Zheng Yiguan this time, but in the end he let this guy slip away with oil on his feet. After understanding the entire battle,

He found that Ma Xiao could not be blamed for this incident.

Because this guy Zheng Yiguan is indeed a powerful character. He will never fight with others just because of the gains and losses of one place. He will run away immediately when the situation is bad. He does not hesitate. Such a person is indeed difficult to deal with. If it were him

In the past, it was also impossible to catch this guy. Moreover, when this guy escaped from Nantian Island, he split up and fled southward like a swarm of bees that had exploded.

Moreover, when Zheng Yiguan abandoned Nantian Island, he did not even fly the flag on his ship, making it impossible to determine which ship he was on, so there was no way to specifically attack him, even with Sea Wolf's Fei Zi Hao Kuai

Although they could not block all their ships, they only selected a few heavily loaded ships and robbed a batch of goods.
