Daming pirates

Liu Laoliu's eyes flickered a few times. Although he already knew that Yu Xiaotian's ambition was now much greater than before, and this was not the first time that he had revealed his idea of ​​conquering the Central Plains, but every time he heard that Yu Xiaotian

When this kind of ambition was revealed, Liu Laoliu's heart was still beating wildly.

Because to a commoner like him, the emperor is undoubtedly almost like a god. Gods are just illusory things, but the emperor actually lives in this world and is constantly passed down.

Now his son-in-law has the idea of ​​competing for the world. If he succeeds one day, wouldn't he be the father-in-law of the country, and wouldn't Liu Wang become the uncle-in-law of the country? Thinking of this, Liu Laoliu's heart beat wildly,

Compared with Yu Xiaotian's role as a guard, the emperor seems to have much greater benefits!

However, he only dares to think about this kind of thing secretly for now. After all, Yu Xiaotian wants to win the Central Plains, and it is not a matter of words. The Ming Dynasty is too huge. No matter how strong the Sea Wolf is now, in front of the behemoth Ming Dynasty

, also like ants.

What Yu Xiaotian said is right. The Ming Dynasty has not yet reached the point where the world is in chaos and the country has collapsed. What Yu Xiaotian needs now is to be patient and wait for the opportunity.

During this period, instead of Sea Wolf confronting Ming Dynasty, it would be better to lean against the big tree and enjoy the shade first, and use official resources as much as possible to strengthen Sea Wolf's strength. When the opportunity arises one day, it will not be too late to conquer the world.

This is also the reason why Yu Xiaotian forced Xiong Wencan to take the initiative to recruit him this time. He first made Xiong Wencan nervous and forced him into a blind corner, so that he could squeeze out the maximum profit.

So Yu Xiaotian immediately ordered someone to reply to Li Yi, asking him to tell Xiong Wencan that Yu Xiaotian was willing to care, and then the two parties could sit down and talk, and let Li Yi make arrangements.

After Li Yi received the order, he immediately informed Qian Xiaocheng of the news, and Qian Xiaocheng informed Xiong Wencan of the matter.

When Xiong Wencan got Yu Xiaotian's expression of willingness to caress him, his heart suddenly returned to his stomach. These days, urgent documents from various states along the coast of Fujian are flooding in to the governor's office, making Xiong Wencan very anxious, not to mention the press.

The gourd has gone down and the gourd has floated up. Now even a gourd cannot be pressed down, but the gourds are popping up one after another.

Although Xiong Wencan already knew about Xiaotian's strength, he did not expect that the sea wolf's energy was so great that it could attack more than ten places at the same time. It can be seen that the strength of the sea wolf is so strong that it is no longer Fujian.

It can be dealt with with just one effort.

However, launching a massacre in several provincial capitals is not the result Xiong Wencan wants. Once that happens, the imperial court will definitely feel that he is really incompetent as a governor. As long as he has this impression, he will basically have no chance to continue to be promoted in the future, even if he is the imperial court.

If several provincial capitals are launched to suppress the campaign, it is impossible for him to preside over it. It is very likely that other officials will be sent here to take charge. At that time, he will have to listen to other people's orders. I am afraid that the entire Fujian will be drained of all its financial resources.

He came to Fujian to be an official because he wanted to make a fortune. Whether it was money or official capital, these were all things he wanted to get. Once a few provinces were suppressed, he would not be able to make any money at all, and he would be accused of being incompetent.

, in that case, the position of governor he finally got will be lost!

Therefore, his best strategy at the moment is to find a way to recruit Yu Xiaotian and suppress this huge problem along the coast of Fujian. By then, he will not only gain the reputation of a capable officer, but also directly control an army for his use.

strength.

In the future, with the help of Yu Xiaotian, he only needs to wipe out all other forces along the coast of Fujian and eliminate a group of bandits. Then the road to promotion will naturally be paved.

This time, after learning that Yu Xiaotian accepted the idea of ​​​​recruiting, Xiong Wencan could be said to have breathed a long sigh of relief. He couldn't help but feel ecstatic, and secretly made up his mind to recruit Yu Xiaotian no matter what, even if it was open.

Even if you pay a high price, you won't hesitate.

So he immediately ordered Qian Xiaocheng to start operating from it, choose a location, and the two parties began negotiations. It would be best to recruit Xiaotian as soon as possible.

After many discussions between Qian Xiaocheng and Li Yi, they finally set the negotiation location in a town called Tantou Town on the south bank of the Minjiang River Estuary. It is located in the Minjiang River Estuary area and is located on land.

There are not many officers and soldiers stationed, and it is backed by the mouth of the Minjiang River, so both sides can accept it.

As for the personnel brought by both sides, after several negotiations, the government dispatched two thousand Fubiao officers and soldiers to garrison in Tantou Town to protect the officials, while Yu Xiaotian could bring no more than five hundred troops to accompany him.

To protect Yu Xiaotian's safety.

Although the strength of the two sides was several times different, Li Yi did not bother with this aspect because Li Yi knew very well how powerful the Sea Wolf infantry was, and if they landed on land this time, Yu Xiaotian would definitely bring the most elite infantry with him.

Maybe even use special warfare

team, so on the surface it seems that the official army is several times more numerous than them, but if the negotiations cannot be reached and the official wants to play dirty, then they can kill these two thousand with only 500 infantry and a small number of special forces.

The officers and soldiers of Fubiao also had no problems.

What's more, Sea Wolf has a large fleet at the mouth of the Min River as Yu Xiaotian's backing. As long as the two thousand officers and soldiers can't kill Yu Xiaotian, then within a short time, a large number of naval soldiers can land and rush to Tantou Town.

By then the officers and soldiers will definitely not be able to eat and carry around.

Therefore, with this arrangement, Li Yi was not worried about any small moves by the officers and soldiers.

The Sea Wolf has a consensus on preventing officials from making small moves. When Nan Juyi was an official in Fujian, he used this method to deal with the Dutch. He had people lure the Dutch ashore for negotiations, and suddenly used

The poisoning method took control of these Dutch negotiators, and then took control of one of their plywood boats, using these prisoners as hostages, and finally forced the Dutch to retreat.

Therefore, we must not trust the official easily. Even if the Sea Wolf is now powerful, we will not dare to be careless.

After negotiating these matters, Li Yi sent the news back to Tamsui City. Yu Xiaotian immediately took Lin Yiyang and a group of other men with him, boarded a ship in Tamsui City, and sailed towards the mouth of the Minjiang River.

Just after the two parties reached an agreement, some problems arose on Xiong Wencan's side. Some staff tried their best to dissuade Xiong Wencan from going to Tantou Town to meet Yu Xiaotian in person, because Yu Xiaotian was a thief, and Xiong Wencan was a high-ranking official on the Fujian side of the Ming Dynasty.

.

As Xiong Wencan, he condescended to go to Tantou Town to negotiate with Yu Xiaotian in person, which was too flattering to Yu Xiaotian. Even if the negotiations were successful in the future and Yu Xiaotian accepted the recruitment, it would not unintentionally encourage Yu Xiaotian's arrogance.

Therefore, these aides believed that Xiong Wencan did not need to go to Tantou Town to meet Yu Xiaotian in person, in case someone made a fuss about it and stabbed Xiong Wencan in the back.

After listening to the opinions of these staff, Xiong Wencan also began to hesitate, but Qian Xiaocheng believed that it would be better for Xiong Wencan to go to Tantou Town in person, because the two parties initially discussed that Xiong Wencan wanted to summon Yu Xiaotian, and now Yu Xiaotian

He came, but Xiong Wencan refused to show up, which might cause other twists and turns in the recruitment process.

However, there were very few people who supported Qian Xiaocheng. Most of the staff insisted that Xiong Wencan would not come to Tantou Town in person. So in the end, after Xiong Wencan twitched for a while, he listened to the opinions of most people and decided to send Lu Wenheng, the prefect of Fuzhou, to negotiate with him this time.

When meeting Yu Xiaotian, first listen to what Yu Xiaotian wants and then talk about it.

So on the third day of June in the seventh year of Tianqi, people from both sides arrived at Tantou Town.

A fleet of about fifty ships arrived at the Minjiang River Estuary two days before the negotiation date between the two parties, and completely blocked the Minjiang River Estuary. No ships were allowed to enter or leave the Minjiang River Estuary.

This area has been completely classified as a restricted area, including the shore area, and no other people are allowed to come and go.

In addition, the special forces team Yu Xiaotian and his men arrived at Tantou Town five days before they arrived, conducted a survey of the area with a radius of about 20 miles around Tantou Town, and set up several surveillance posts.

point, and secretly controlled several nearby only-passage routes in and out of Tantou Town.

As long as any government troops try to enter this area during negotiations, they will be immediately discovered by the Sea Wolf's special forces, and then a signal rocket will be sent to notify Yu Xiaotian's negotiation team to evacuate Tantou Town.

In addition, the special forces also closely monitored the movements of the two thousand Fubiao officers and soldiers who entered the area in advance to set up defenses. Once they made any changes, they would be discovered immediately. They even carried more than 20 rounds with arms as thick as two meters.

What a long rocket.

After being ignited, this kind of rocket can fly a distance of two to three miles, and the head of the rocket is also equipped with high-quality granular gunpowder. When it flies to the target, the internal fuse will be ignited and eventually explode at the target.

.

The head of the rocket is equipped with nearly two hundred iron particles the size of mung beans. Once it explodes, it will cause heavy damage to personnel within a few meters. It can be said to be a big killer. Unfortunately, the accuracy of this guy is really not very good.

It is reliable, and sometimes it deviates very far from the target. During the test, it even turned around and flew back to the launch site.

Therefore, the Sea Wolf is not willing to use this kind of thing easily when it is not necessary, but in the current situation, they still took out about twenty rounds and brought them over because they could not carry the cannon after landing.

Each person can only carry two grenades, which are not very powerful, so when necessary, this kind of thing can still bring a certain degree of shock to the officers and soldiers.

After everything was ready, Yu Xiaotian's ship also arrived at the mouth of the Minjiang River. Two elite infantry companies arrived here with the fleet and were unloaded on the shore. As members who accompanied Yu Xiaotian to protect him, they followed Yu Xiao

Let’s go to Tantou Town together.
