Daming pirates

As a governor who was transferred from other places, in fact, governors in various places have their own unspeakable secrets. It seems that they are very majestic and are second to none in the world, but in fact they are not as beautiful as outsiders think. Every place has its own problems.

There are giant clans and groups that have already been formed. These people are very powerful, although on the surface they dare not confront the governor head-on.

But in fact, these people can completely defy a governor like him. As long as he, Xiong Wencan, wants to do something that involves a little bit of their interests, these people will secretly hinder him, or even simply disobey orders.

Xiong Wencan also had nothing to do with these people.

When he first came to Fujian, he had not yet established his own team. If he wanted to do something, he would definitely have to rely on the local generals. But what the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers looked like now, in fact, he also knew very well.

The military generals are extremely arrogant and have little ability, but they are all good at corrupting military pay and deducting military rations. For them, fighting has become a side job.

Most of these military generals are hereditary. With the help of their ancestors, they have already formed their own forces in the local area. Although they are still more civilized than military, on the surface, these generals will listen to him, but in fact, there are many of these guys.

They are some people with little success and more than enough failure.

Judging from the two incidents in which Zhu Qinxiang and Zhu Yifeng mobilized their troops to deal with the sea wolf, these local Fujian military generals were basically useless. Otherwise, the matter would not have reached such a level.

Therefore, if Xiong Wencan wants to make great achievements in his tenure in Fujian, he must have a team under his control. To put it bluntly, it means the force that can be used as a spearman for him.

From the current point of view, once Yu Xiaotian can be recruited, Yu Xiaotian will undoubtedly be the most suitable candidate. Although this person has a high reputation and strong strength in the world, he belongs to the grassroots class after all. He is also a thief in the past.

Entering the bureaucracy, you have no one to rely on. You can only rely on him, Xiong Wencan, to gain a foothold.

Therefore, as long as the recruitment of Yu Xiaotian is successful this time, it will indeed be beneficial to his future career. Since Yu Xiaotian is indeed willing to accept the recruitment, why can't he just give in?

Will Yu Xiaotian become his subordinate?

Thinking of this, Xiong Wencan took a deep breath, nodded and said: "In that case, send someone to send a message to Qian Xiaocheng. If Lu Wenheng can't negotiate with Yu Xiaotian this time, then you might as well stabilize him first. I'd rather

I also want to see what kind of person this Yu Xiaotian is!..."

After the first peace talks in Tantou Town failed to make progress, Yu Xiaotian took a boat to Haitan Island temporarily. Now the entire Haitan Island has been controlled by sea wolves. There used to be more than a dozen piers and beacons on the island.

, are now all taken over by Sea Wolf, and Sea Wolf has also begun to build a temporary dock on the west coast of Haitan Island for Sea Wolf's warships and merchant ships to dock, or to shelter from the wind and supply supplies.

After Sea Wolf completely took control of Haitan Island, the situation on Haitan Island, which was originally chaotic, began to come under control. It turned out that as a large island hanging alone on the sea, it had always been a gathering place for Japanese pirates and merchants.

, a place where pirates and merchants conduct transactions.

In recent years, as the sea wolves have gradually become stronger, the number of pirates around Haitan Island has been decreasing day by day, but small groups of pirates still often appear near Haitan Island, and often sneak to the island to supply supplies or attack the fishing villages on the island.

Although Sea Wolf has repeatedly stepped up its efforts to eradicate these small groups of pirates, these pirates are actually fishermen who fish when they have nothing to do. If they encounter an opportunity, they will turn into pirates and make a fortune. Therefore, the population of Haitan Island has always been

The number is very small. The total population of the huge Haitan Island is less than 3,000, and there are hundreds of officers and soldiers stationed on the island.

These officers and soldiers usually never think about arresting thieves, and even often wear civilian clothes to engage in pirate business. Therefore, the fishermen living on Haitan Island have been living in this kind of fear for many years.

Now that Haitan Island is officially controlled by the Sea Wolf, this chaotic situation has begun to be completely reversed. The Sea Wolf tribe who landed on the island cleaned up the limited fishing villages on the island and completely destroyed the fishermen in the fishing villages.

Due to the chaos, resettlement was carried out on a household basis, so that the fishermen who were usually busy fishing and stealing when they were free could only do their job honestly after being disrupted and monitored.

But with the control of sea wolves, the lives of these fishermen have become much better. They can basically rely on fishing to meet their daily needs. Naturally, they are no longer willing to engage in the business of licking blood from the knife edge.

In addition, Haitan Island has a large area of ​​land that can be used for pioneering farming. In addition, there is a large amount of grassland on the island that can be used as pasture. In addition, Haitan Island is surrounded by the sea. It is a pretty good horse ranch in the south. During the Tang and Song Dynasties,

During the Yuan Dynasty, this was the pasture of the government. During the Yuan Dynasty, it was also used as the pasture of the government.

You can still see traces of pastures from the old days all over the island, which shows that this is indeed a grazing land with relatively good conditions.

What the Sea Wolves lack most now is horses. Whether it is the Nanri Island they controlled before, or the current Tamsui, Keelung and other places, they are not suitable for use as pastures for grazing. This is why Yu Xiaotian took advantage of this moment to use the horses.

One of the main reasons why he won Haitan Island was that he had to make some preparations for his army in advance. If one day he wanted to lead the army on the land, it would be too late to recruit war horses at the last minute.

.

Therefore, after the Sea Wolf Group landed on the island, they quickly conducted a detailed inspection of Haitan Island, designated a large area on the island, and officially established the Sea Wolf Group Army Horse Farm.

Under Yu Xiaotian's order, the Sea Wolf Group gathered all kinds of horses that were roaming freely in their territory and began to transport them to the Haitan Island Horse Farm, where they began to breed and raise them.

In addition, since the fifth year of Tianqi, Yu Xiaotian has sent people northward to contact the Dongjiang Army in the Liaodong area, and even tried every means to contact the Tatars. On the one hand, he exported food and other supplies to the Dongjiang Army, and on the other hand, he exported to the Tatars.

Through this method, some luxury consumer goods have initially established a primary commercial network in the Liaodong area to import Sea Wolf products to the Liaodong area.

However, in exchange, the people who were ordered to go north to do business did not use gold and silver as return items, but horses as exchange items. The horses they obtained were transported south in batches by ship, and finally transported to Nanri Island for private breeding.

But at present, this is basically a loss-making business, and the Houjin Tartars are not fools. Although they also like the various luxuries imported to them by Sea Wolf, they also know the importance of war horses. Regarding the exchange of horses for these commodities,

They are still quite vigilant.

Mao Wenlong of the Dongjiang Army also paid close attention to war horses. After all, they had to rely on war horses to fight or escape in Liaodong. Without war horses, it was absolutely impossible. And Mao Wenlong did not have any cash on hand. He did not care about the grain imported by Sea Wolf to them.

Naturally, they were welcomed with both hands and feet, but they often defaulted on payment and gave Seawolf free notes. Even if they used horses to pay the bills, they often used old or injured horses. This made Seawolf personnel working in Liaodong very unhappy.

After two years, although Hailang exported a large amount of supplies to Liaodong, the number of horses returned was quite limited, only four to five hundred in total, and most of them were old horses or geldings. Even so

, due to long-distance transportation, the transportation and breeding conditions on the ship are limited, and the horses are not adapted to life on the ship. During the transportation to the south, nearly half of the horses died during transportation.

The number of horses that finally arrived at Nanri Island was only over 200. Among them, the number of healthy mares that could be used as stallions was only a mere thirty or forty after selection, and the rest were not suitable at all.

To be used as a stallion, you can only tame it for a period of time, condition its body, and then hand it over to the army for use.

As for the more than 100 horses they had tried to get everywhere in the past, most of them were very short Yunnan horses or hybrid horses. Some of these horses were not even as tall as donkeys. They were really pitiful as war horses.

Of course, these horses will not be used for breeding and domestication in the future. They will only be temporarily gathered for domestication for a period of time and temporarily supplied to the army for temporary use.

Therefore, although the sea wolves occupied Haitan Island and built a huge pasture, the number of horses in the pasture today is really pitiful.

Fortunately, Xiaotian is not too anxious now. After all, there is still some time before the world is completely in chaos. He still has the opportunity to make preparations. It is good to put up the framework now. Through various means in the future, he believes that one day

, Sea Wolf can form a usable cavalry.

Taking advantage of nothing else during this period, Yu Xiaotian stayed on Haitan Island, inspected the situation in various places on Haitan Island, and instructs the Sea Wolf tribe to build some places on the island.

A lighthouse to be used by passing ships for night navigation.

Of course, other members of the Sea Wolf will certainly not be able to take any time off during this period. Since they failed to reach an agreement with the authorities this time, Yu Xiaotian will certainly not let his men restrain themselves. On the contrary, after he returned to Haitan Island from Tantou Town,

Immediately, he ordered the commanders everywhere to increase the intensity of the raids on land.

Therefore, after Yu Xiaotian left the Minjiang estuary, the Sea Wolf tribes scattered all over the coast of Fujian worked hard and began to increase the intensity of their land raids, while the Sea Wolf ships operating in the Minjiang estuary area

, they simply blocked the Minjiang River Estuary completely, and all ships were not allowed to enter or leave the Minjiang River Estuary. This made the maritime merchants doing business in Fuzhou area complain endlessly, and begged Grandpa everywhere to inform the government, and asked the government to hurry up.

Find a way to solve the current troubles.

All of a sudden, warning signals came one after another along the coast of Fujian, and documents asking for help were flying all over the sky, one after another flying to Fuzhou City. This caused tension in the Fujian Sansi Yamen, and everyone was miserable. For a while, they didn’t know how to deal with it.

This is the situation.

As the governor of Fujian, Xiong Wencan would of course get the news as soon as possible, but Xiong Wencan did not show too much nervousness.

After Qian Xiaocheng returned to Fuzhou, he told Xiong Wencan the situation of their peace talks with Yu Xiaotian in Tantou Town in detail. After everyone discussed it, they were more certain of Yu Xiaotian's true thoughts.

As for Lu Wenheng's trip to Tantou Town, it can be said that he returned to Fuzhou City in disgrace due to Yu Xiaotian's disgrace, and he had to report to Xiong Wencan about the situation of his trip.

Xiong Wencan comforted Lu Wenheng and asked him to go back and rest. After Lu Wenheng returned to his house, he found out that he had unexpectedly received another generous gift from Sea Wolf. Li Yi even came to apologize to Lu Wenheng in person.

Ichiban.

After listening to Li Yi's explanation, Lu Wenheng understood why Yu Xiaotian was so difficult for him in Tantou Town. He couldn't help but sigh. For the sake of this unexpected generous gift, he had no choice but to accept it. Who could

It was unlucky for him to be involved in something like this, and he was allowed to stand out when he shouldn't have, and it was inevitable that he would suffer.

In fact, Yu Xiaotian did not want to offend Lu Wenheng. Overall, Lu Wenheng was an official in Fuzhou and his official reputation was quite good. Moreover, he had been an official in Fujian for a long time and had a high reputation among Fujian officials. Since Yu Xiaotian later

I want to enjoy the shade under the big tree Xiong Wencan, but I don’t want people like Lu Wenheng to get the cool air.

The crime was extremely serious, so even though he was always against Lu Wenheng when he was in Tantou Town, this misunderstanding still had to be resolved after the matter was over, otherwise Lu Wenheng might be a stumbling block for him at some point.

Although he is not afraid, it would be better to reduce some troubles.

Even Qian Xiaocheng secretly received a generous gift after returning to Fuzhou, which made Qian Xiaocheng feel more relieved and more confident about his future recruitment.

After everyone's mediation, more than ten days later, Yu Xiaotian received another message from Li Yi, saying that Xiong Wencan had been confirmed and would still be waiting for Yu Xiaotian's arrival in Tantou Town five days later.

After Yu Xiaotian read the news, he laughed a few times and ordered to get ready to go...
