Daming pirates

But Zheng Yiguan left in a hurry after all. Although he packed up some soft things stored on the island before leaving, he did not have time to ship out all the goods stored on the island. Therefore, Ma Xiao led his troops and Yan Siqi

After arriving on the island, they still found a large amount of property on the island that Zheng Yiguan had no time to take away.

After a rough inventory, Zheng Yiguan left behind at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, but there was not much cash. Most of them were goods they had recently plundered at sea, including raw silk, porcelain and other items from the sea trade.

Hard currency, and a lot of wood that they used to repair ships. These are all things that the Sea Wolf needs.

Under Yu Xiaotian's instructions, Ma Xiao distributed the goods on the spot and gave a considerable part of the items that could be exchanged for money to Yan Siqi and Mr. Chu Cai, while leaving items such as wood, Japanese red copper, cloth, etc.

Go to sea wolf for your own use.

After all, Yan Siqi and Mr. Chu Cai have done their best this time. If they want them to continue to follow Yu Xiaotian as his younger brothers in the future, they must give them something sweet. Otherwise, the boss will eat all the meat and the younger brother will not even get the soup.

They can't even drink. Maybe they don't dare to say anything, but they will definitely not work hard to help you in the future.

After Yan Siqi and Chu Cailao received the goods distributed to them, they were very happy. They felt that Yu Xiaotian was really a good person and had a good character. He was not the kind of person who was motivated by wealth and was very considerate.

ally.

But relatively speaking, what Yan Siqi got was much more than what Chu Cai Lao got. The reason is that when Yan Siqi came this time, he almost came out in full force, and he led his men to fight Zheng Yiguan the most.

Lively and very productive.

Compared with Yan Siqi, although Mr. Chu Cai also sent people to help in the battle, he did not send too many people and ships. He only sent a small number of ships and men as a token to participate in the suppression of Zheng Yiguan.

, so if you put in less effort, you will naturally receive less.

Mr. Chu Cai had nothing to say about this, he could only secretly regret it. He might as well have followed Yan Siqi's example and come out in full force. In this case, Zheng Yiguan wouldn't be able to escape, and he would be able to get more.

Wealth.

Although Ma Xiao did not say it explicitly, they more or less secretly expressed their dissatisfaction with Mr. Chu Cai, and put the responsibility for not completely taking down Zheng Yiguan this time on Mr. Chu Cai's head.

Later in life, I felt a little uneasy about this for a long time, fearing that Yu Xiaotian would turn around and blame him.

However, Yu Xiaotian did not pursue anything further against Mr. Chu Cai in this matter. He also sent someone to pretend to express his gratitude to Mr. Chu Cai, and gave him a copy of the Spanish captured treasure.

As a thank you gift, this heavy naval gun was really not light. The price that Hailang sold to Chu Cailao for a heavy gun at that time was more than 4,000 taels of silver. Although this gun was not the same as the Taixi they had seen.

The Hongyi cannon is big, but it is similar to the few Hongyi cannons they bought before.

So after Mr. Chu Cai received this gift, he was even more happy. He repeatedly promised Yu Xiaotian that as long as Yu Xiaotian and Hailang gave him any instructions in the future, he would be willing to do their best.

, he will look up to Yu Xiaotian from now on.

Regardless of his age, Mr. Chu Cai used to be a little overconfident, but after suffering enough from Yu Xiaotian, he immediately began to learn to behave with his tail between his legs again, and Yu Xiaotian did not regard him as old.

In front of him, he was willing to face Xiaotian and Hailang with a first-level attitude. In front of Xiaotian and Hailang, he did not dare to show that he was also a sea lord.

Yu Xiaotian is very satisfied with Mr. Chu Cai's current attitude towards him. At least it shows that this old sea dog is not a fool. At least he knows what to do now. Although what he does is a bit contemptible, it fully shows that this old seal is not a fool.

He is always a smart man and knows how to adapt to the wind. Otherwise, he would not have been able to roam the sea for so many years. He can be regarded as an evergreen tree on the sea in the late Ming Dynasty.

In history, if Zheng Yiguan hadn't risen up later and wanted to kill Chu Cai Lao, Chu Cai Lao wouldn't have made a desperate attempt to fight with Zheng Yiguan until he was completely destroyed.

In addition, after this battle, Sea Wolf also gained a considerable reward, that is, it defeated many of Zheng Yiguan's men. Seeing that they had no future with Zheng Yiguan, they all chose to defect or break up with Zheng Yiguan.

, he took a group of people and a boat and went alone.

A considerable number of them, with their boats and men, chose to defect to the Sea Wolf Group. Very few people defected to Chu Cailao and Yan Siqi, because these people are all human beings, and they know very well who is currently in the coastal areas of Fujian.

He is the real boss. Since he is looking for another way out, he naturally has to choose a higher branch. To put it nicely, this is like a good bird choosing a tree to roost on.

This time, Ma Xiao collected a total of forty or fifty ships of various types from Zheng Yiguan's men in the Penghu area, and also collected nearly a thousand personnel from Zheng Yiguan's men.

These men and ships were immediately sent back to Nanri Island by Ma Xiao and handed over to Yu Xiaotian for disposal. Because Sea Wolf has strict regulations, no one is allowed to recruit or recruit men without authorization. All ships and ships

The team, including soldiers, must send personnel to them through Yu Xiaotian when they need to increase their manpower.

Unless there are special reasons, they can act cheaply. When Blackhead organized some natives into auxiliary troops in Keelung Fort, this was only allowed with Yu Xiaotian's consent and after being registered in the execution hall. However,

In the end, after it was proved that these native auxiliary troops were indeed useful, these auxiliary troops still had to be dismantled and distributed to various places for reorganization.

Through this centralized management method, Yu Xiaotian prevented his subordinates from selfishly expanding the number of subordinates and forming small groups. Finally, after some people became full-fledged, they formed a situation where the tail was too big to lose.

In addition, Yu Xiaotian firmly controls the logistics supply of his subordinates. All weapons of the Sea Wolf are produced centrally and then allocated and distributed as needed. Even weapons captured during wartime must first be classified into the council and then selected.

After that, the weapons that can be used are left and redistributed. In this way, if someone wants to break up the family, they can only take away a few ships, but the supply of weapons will be completely cut off.

Now that the Sea Wolf tribe has become accustomed to using the new cannons and muskets, if their supply is cut off and they go back to using shabby weapons like before, they probably won't get used to it, even if they are

After they split off, they took away some of the people and ships, but if they wanted to develop, even if they could get the people and ships, they couldn't get such new weapons, and their strength couldn't be greatly improved.

Therefore, the Sea Wolf Group is under the control of Xiaotian, and it is absolutely impossible to form small power groups below. All power is in his hands, which can ensure the sufficient stability of his group.

Yu Xiaotian already had mature experience in dealing with these new subordinates of Zheng Yiguan who joined him. He first warmly entertained these new subordinates of Zheng Yiguan, and then gave them a

Several conditions.

One is that he is willing to price their ships, provide money to these ship owners, buy their ships, and their men will also take over them, and after re-training, they will arrange for another place to go.

Second, if they don't want to sell their ships and still want to keep their ships, that's fine, but they and the people on their ships must also undergo a selection and retraining before they can be incorporated into the fleet.

, but they cannot be incorporated into the war fleet and can only serve in the merchant fleet first.

Such conditions made it difficult for some of the newly recruited leaders of Zheng Yiguan's former subordinates. They originally thought that after coming over, they could keep their ships and subordinates. In this case, they would still be able to control the subordinates and subordinates they brought.

The vessel has control.

But now the conditions that Yu Xiaotian has given them make it clear that they are not allowed to do this. Since they have come here, they must be completely integrated into the Sea Wolf system. If the ship is sold to Sea Wolf at a price, they no longer have any reason.

If they continue to control these ships, their subordinates will have to be re-screened, selected, trained, and then relocated, which will make them lose control of these subordinates.

Even if they don't sell their ships and continue to keep their ships, they won't be able to join Sea Wolf's navy and can only be used as merchant ships. If they continue to live like this, they won't have much future.

Now Yu Xiaotian has expressed that he wants to eat them, but he doesn't want to look too ugly. He proposes these two options for them to choose. As long as these people are not stupid, they will know how to choose.

Now that they are here, it is definitely impossible to leave now. Even if Yu Xiaotian wants them to leave, they don't dare to think where they can run. As long as they leave here with their men and ships, it means they have to continue.

Against him, Yu Xiaotian and Hailang, it is estimated that they will not be able to run very far before they will be blocked by Hailang's ship. By then, I am afraid that Hailang will no longer be so polite to them as it is now.

If the sea wolf wants to destroy a few ships at sea now, it is not as easy as squeezing an ant to death. It is estimated that not even a hair will be left on them by then.

So the new leaders of Zheng Yiguan's former subordinates, after hesitating for a while, expressed one by one that they were willing to give the ship to Yu Xiaotian, and they were also willing to obey Yu Xiaotian's arrangements.

However, Yu Xiaotian did not want them to surrender the ships to him in vain. He ordered the board of directors to work with the people from the boathouse to inspect and value the ships they brought, and the valuation given was also very reasonable. Then according to the valuation, the directors

The church distributed the money to the leaders who brought the ships over.
