Daming pirates

Regardless of the fact that Sea Wolf was fighting with Fujian officials in Fujian this time, in fact, Yu Xiaotian was not very willing to let this matter get out of hand.

At the moment, he needs a stable transition period to gradually develop his strength. Even if he wins the war every day and can obtain war dividends, it is not what he wants, because the war will seriously delay him.

The legs and feet of his development must be restrained, and when in a state of war, the entire sea wolf will be in a state of tension. In a short period of time, there will not be much of a problem, but if it takes a long time, serious problems will occur.

In addition, before he has developed enough strength, he does not want to accelerate the collapse of Ming Dynasty, because before he is ready, he needs the clumsy machine of Ming Dynasty to continue to operate to consume the strength of his future enemies.

Once he has the strength to compete in the Central Plains one day, it won't be too late for him to push the edifice of Ming Dynasty forward.

And now if he refuses to touch him, if things get to such an extent this time, after Xiong Wencan takes office, he will definitely find a way to solve his problem. If Fujian's own strength cannot do it, then Ming Dynasty will not just sit back and watch him easily.

Toss along the coast.

Maybe the imperial court would change its mind and launch a campaign to suppress him in several provinces. Not to mention whether they can destroy him, the provinces along the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty just need to be ruthless and carry out another sea ban movement to strictly control it.

The export of goods from ports in various places is enough for Sea Wolf to break his muscles and bones.

This is not the result that Yu Xiaotian wants to see, because by then, his entire economy will suffer a heavy blow. Without Daming's resources, almost everything he is doing will be forced to stagnate.

, then his subsequent steps to expand his strength may also be completely stalled because of this.

And he knows very well that his current enemy is not just the Ming Dynasty, because his strength has developed too fast and has seriously destroyed the previous balance on the sea. The appearance of his behemoth has aroused the vigilance of all parties.

Nowadays, the pirates in Guangdong have begun to show signs of wanting to unite against him, and the Spanish, Dutch and even the Portuguese now regard him as a disruptor of order.

In order to protect their interests, these guys are definitely not willing to sit back and watch Sea Wolf continue to develop like this, and eventually control the entire southeastern coast of China in his hands. Therefore, once the Ming Dynasty court wants to launch a campaign against Sea Wolf in several provincial capitals, Yu Xiaotian

I believe that the Dutch, Spanish and even his colleagues may join in and help the court to destroy him.

If these forces are just one party, Yu Xiaotian does not need to be afraid of them at all now. But if these forces are united, Yu Xiaotian asks himself, I am afraid that no matter how strong the sea wolf is, he will not be able to take care of the beginning and the end if he is not careful.

, may be completely subverted.

Think carefully about Zheng Zhilong's acceptance of Xiong Wencan's recruitment. Although Zheng Zhilong's desire to become an official was also involved, the most important thing is that Zheng Zhilong understood the situation at that time and wanted to control the Fujian coast in his hands.

He has already incurred the dissatisfaction of many forces. If he does not stop, he is likely to attract a joint attack from all major forces.

In that case, even if Zheng Zhilong was powerful at the time, he would probably only be defeated.

Another point is that Yu Xiaotian is well aware of the current vulnerability of the Ming Dynasty. If he fights with the Ming Dynasty on the southeast coast, the Ming Dynasty will definitely mobilize a large amount of manpower, material and other resources towards the southeast coast.

But now the situation in the Ming Dynasty is really not optimistic. In the north, there are slave-building Tatars who are eyeing the pass day and night. In the south, there is also the She'an Rebellion. In the northwest, the refugees in the Shanxi and Shaanxi areas are already ready to take action. Once the Ming Dynasty is determined to

If you destroy Yu Xiaotian and allocate manpower and material resources to the southeast coast, then Yu Xiaotian will be unlucky, but he will definitely get an advantage from those guys.

Yu Xiaotian would never do this kind of thing of making wedding clothes for others, so after some inner struggle, Yu Xiaotian began to seriously consider the possible recruitment issues in the future.

"Lord! With our strength, whether we accept the offer or not is not a big problem now! Looking at the sea, there are probably not many people who can compete with us sea wolves now!

My lord is at ease here, so why bother to be dispatched by the government, obey the orders of the court, and work as a thug for the court?"

At this time, one of Yu Xiaotian's staff spoke up and said that this person had a deep hatred for the government. After hearing that Yu Xiaotian raised this matter, he was very unwilling to let Yu Xiaotian accept the recruitment.

He spoke.

Lu sometimes frowned and continued: "Brother Jiang, you can't say this! Although it is difficult to find anyone who can match my lord's strength in this sea now, if he does not accept the recruitment, then the court will definitely kill him.

We regard them as mortal enemies! We will try our best to eliminate them as soon as possible!

We are not worried about Fujian alone now, but if the court fails to recruit us this time and wants to drive us away from Weitou Bay and regain Haitan, Meizhou Island, Nanri Island and other places, then no one will

I can’t guarantee whether the imperial court will launch a suppression campaign in several provinces!

Although we are strong now, if the imperial court launches a campaign to suppress several provincial capitals, we may not be able to cope with it, not to mention that other colleagues will take the opportunity to help the government to deal with us!

If we get to this point, I’m afraid we won’t be able to deal with it even if we are powerful!”

After listening to Lu Shi's analysis, everyone fell silent again. Liu Laoliu had also calmed down at this time. After thinking for a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "Accepting recruitment is actually not a big deal. It's just a change."

It’s just an official uniform! As for the imperial court, what they want is peace along the coast. With this official uniform, it will be more convenient for us!

After all, we occupy Weitou Bay like this now, which is unfair and unfair. Although it is still under the jurisdiction of the noble government on the surface, everyone knows that it is just a show for others to watch!

In the short term, Fujian will turn a blind eye because there is nothing they can do to us, but after a long time, how can the so-called clean-minded people in the court sit idly by and do nothing? So doing this now is not a long-term solution!"

After Yu Xiaotian heard this, his brows twitched, but he didn't speak yet. Instead, he glanced at Lin Yiyang, who had been silent.

Lin Yiyang also felt Yu Xiaotian's gaze, suddenly smiled slightly, and said: "The students think it is a good thing to accept the recruitment!

From the student's point of view, this matter has more advantages than disadvantages! The disadvantage is that once the lord accepts the recruitment, the lord may be subject to government control to a certain extent in the future, and his actions may be inconvenient. In addition, the lord may also have to go to land.

Live here to avoid causing any scruples to the court!

In addition, since we accept the recruitment, some of our army and navy will definitely be converted into official troops, and they will be dispatched by the government to work for the court in the future!

Apart from these, the rest should be all benefits! After our army and navy become part of the official army, the court will definitely have to increase the number of personnel. In this way, as long as the number of people is reached, the court will have to pay the amount to bear the food and wages of these troops, at least to allow

We save some money.

In addition, if the Lord accepts the recruitment, we can now legitimately occupy Weitou Bay. As long as we occupy Weitou Bay, we can safely continue to collect water there. No one dares to say more about this.

What.

If the lord wears an official uniform, it will be more convenient for us sea wolves to operate along the coast of Fujian in the future. In the past, we had to be more secretive when purchasing various supplies on land, but if the lord accepts the recruitment, who will?

Will you say no to our purchase of goods?

Furthermore, if we want to open up the island of Taiwan, we must continue to immigrate from the land. In the past, we used to hide and do this kind of thing in secret, but after that, we no longer need to be as secretive as before.

.

The biggest advantage is not just these. The biggest advantage is that after the master is taken care of, he will be an official. In the future, with the support of the Fujian government, we can save a lot of money. We only need to pay for it from the Fujian government and we can make the cannon ourselves.

, not only will you save money, but you will also make a profit if you don’t do it right!

In addition, with this official position, no matter who wants to get involved in the coastal areas of Fujian in the future, they will be the enemies of the government. With our backing from the government, it can be said that it is justified to send troops to suppress them. The coastal areas of Fujian can be firmly controlled by us.

In hand!

With so many benefits, from the student’s point of view, accepting the recruitment is not a problem, but the students feel that as long as the conditions offered by Xiong Futai are suitable, they might as well accept the recruitment!”

After listening to Lin Yiyang's words, everyone bowed their heads and took stock, and nodded in agreement, because temporarily accepting the recruitment would indeed bring considerable benefits to Sea Wolf.

"But Mr. Lin, what if after I accept the recruitment, the imperial court wants to take away my military power and sideline me? What's more, and most importantly, our Tamsui City now also has Keelung Fort, Dagou Port and other places.

, if the imperial court proposes to bring it under its jurisdiction

So what should I do? This is the issue I am most concerned about! You must know that these places are the foundation of our Seawolves. If this matter cannot be solved well, I am afraid I will not be able to accept the recruitment!" Yu Xiaotian was standing in front of everyone.

When everyone nodded in agreement, they suddenly spoke.

(I drank too much last night! I’m still fainting now! Update first, then lie down for a while! I’m dizzy!)
