Daming pirates

After Yan Siqi's matter was dealt with, only Mr. Chu Cai and his group were left who were still entrenched on Dongshan Island for the time being. Mr. Chu Cai's relationship was different from that of Yan Siqi and Yu Xiaotian.

Although Mr. Chu Cai has been avoiding Xiaotian at all times in the past two years, and has also helped Yu Xiaotian with many things, after all, he is not very close to Yu Xiaotian, and the two parties can be said to be using each other.

Now as soon as the news came out that Yu Hailang was going to be fostered, Mr. Chu Cai immediately couldn't sit still. For a moment, he felt like he was mourning his heir, not knowing what to do.

But there was nothing he could do to prevent Yu Xiaotian from being fostered. He could only sit back and watch the development of the situation. When it was decided that Yu Xiaotian would be fostered, Mr. Chu Cai almost collapsed on the spot.

Yu Xiaotian was granted the post of Coast Defense Counselor. This position made it clear that from now on, the entire coastal area of ​​Fujian would be under his control. However, he, Mr. Chu Cai, had been living in the coastal area of ​​Fujian for so many years.

But if you want to take away Yu Xiaotian's job after being raised in the coastal areas of Fujian, it can be said to be an easy matter.

Therefore, since Yu Xiaotian was adopted, Mr. Chu Cai has been in panic all day long. Originally, he had intended to simply abandon Dongshan Island and Fujian. He also followed Zheng Yiguan and many groups of pirates in Fujian and went south to the coast of Guangdong.

While asking for a living to pull him down.

But after all, he has been operating in Fujian for ten or twenty years, and his foundation and path are all in Fujian. At best, in Guangdong, he only has some connections in Chaozhou.

What's more, nowadays, the pirates on the Guangdong side are intertwined with each other. There are so many large-scale pirates that they have already divided the territory along the Guangdong coast. If he rashly goes south to get involved, he will undoubtedly become the target of public criticism. The pirates on the Guangdong side will be targeted.

They will never look at such a large force like him and cut off a large part of their interests, so he will definitely face countless enemies when he goes south. Whether he can gain a firm foothold is really unknown.

So he thought about it and couldn't make up his mind, so he abandoned this place and led his troops south.

But just when Mr. Chu Cai was thinking about it and felt embarrassed to death, he suddenly received news that Yu Xiaotian had sent a person to Yunxiao Station in Zhangzhou Prefecture, asking to see him and asking him to come to Yunxiao Station to talk.

, saying that we have something important to discuss.

Moreover, when Yu Xiaotian sent someone here this time, he did so through extremely private channels, contacting him secretly. It was obvious that Yu Xiaotian did not want more people to know that he sent someone here this time.

Mr. Chu Cai, who was struggling, was a little confused by this sudden news. He didn't know why Yu Xiaotian suddenly sent people to see him mysteriously, but with the intuition of being in the world,

He still felt that this might involve his future direction, so he did not dare to neglect, and quickly ordered people to make preparations. He announced that he was going to the land to do something, and he quickly landed ashore and rushed to Yunxiaoyi.

Yunxiaoyi is actually Yunxiao County in later generations. It is said to be a station, but it is actually a big town. During the Wanli period, in order to prevent Japanese pirates, a coastal defense magistrate was set up here. In addition, a thief-catching officer was added.

Responsible for the prevention and preparation of Japanese pirates, but during the Tianqi period, these official offices were gradually abandoned, making the Yunxiaoyi area basically a place where no one cares, and has always been an area for pirates to go ashore.

Mr. Chu Cai is the most powerful in this area, and he is also the most familiar with the situation in this area. His spies are everywhere, so Yu Xiaotian sends people here to meet him. He does not have to worry about Yu Xiaotian planning to deal with him, or

Not good for him.

However, after Chu Cai Lao landed, he still carefully sent people to check the Yunxiao Yi area first. It was confirmed that no large groups of officers and soldiers or other people had arrived in the Yun Xiaoyi area. Therefore, Chu Cai Lao entered with confidence.

After arriving at Yunxiao Yi, he disguised himself as a merchant and stayed in an inn in Yunxiao Yi.

In an upper room of the inn, Mr. Chu Cai met a person. When the two parties met and informed each other of their names and identities, Mr. Chu Cai discovered that the person who came was actually Lin Yiyang, the number one counselor around Yu Xiaotian.

Lin Yiyang came to Yunxiao Yi in a simple carriage with only a few personal guards. He also disguised himself as a merchant and came to Yunxiao Yi leisurely.

Seeing that the visitor was such an important person, Mr. Chu Cai was quite shocked and was quite polite to Lin Yiyang. However, Lin Yiyang gave him a huge shock right from the start and said: "Master Chu! Mr. Lin is here this time, but

I want to save Master Chu’s life!”

Chu Cai was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly: "What did Mr. Lin say?"

Lin Yiyang waved the personal guards he had brought to exit the room and winked at Chu Cai Lao. Chu Cai Lao immediately understood and hurriedly drove his men out of the room, ordering them to clear the entire upper room and not allow them to leave.

Anyone heard his conversation with Lin Yiyang.

Lin Yiyang and Mr. Chu Cai talked in the room for nearly two hours. Mr. Chu Cai walked out of the room sweating profusely. He actually left Yunxiao Yi overnight and rushed back to his hometown.

A few days later, Mr. Chu Cailao suddenly sent out several large-scale shopkeepers under his command to raid the coastal area of ​​Zhangpu County. However, they were immediately attacked by the Sea Wolf Navy and infantry who had just transformed into officers and soldiers.

In this battle, several of Chu Cai's bosses were almost wiped out by the sea wolves. The total number of surrenders and the number of captured pirates exceeded 1,000. More than 20 pirate ships were sunk and large and small pirate ships were captured.

With more than thirty articles, the official achieved a rare complete victory.

And the only big stock shopkeeper, when he desperately broke through and escaped back to Chu Cai's lair on Dongshan Island, he was captured on the spot by Chu Cai, and his head was chopped off with a knife.

Within a few days, Chu Cailao led his troops to abandon Dongshan Island and retreat south to the coastal area of ​​Chaozhou.

This battle can be regarded as the first battle that Yu Xiaotian fought as an officer and soldier after he was adopted. It was also the first petition that Yu Xiaotian gave to Xiong Wencan.

He wrote the memorial in his own hand all night, and at dawn he sent someone to rush to the capital to deliver the memorial.

Originally, Xiong Wencan was worried about Xiaotian being cared for this time, because Yu Xiaotian was too powerful and had a way out. He originally tried to deal with Xiaotian by appointing official positions to Yu Xiaotian's generals.

There was an internal division, but unexpectedly, Yu Xiaotian disrupted his plan in an understatement.

Although the generals under Yu Xiaotian all accepted his appointment, they ultimately refused to take up posts in certain places according to his plan, and instead insisted firmly on staying under Yu Xiaotian. As a result, Xiong Wencan ended up

The result of using a bamboo basket to fetch water was in vain, and it also made Zhu Bajie look in the mirror and look like a human being.

This incident really worried Xiong Wencan for several days, because he knew that Yu Xiaotian had seen his intention of doing this, and he was afraid that Yu Xiaotian would break up with him again because of this incident, and he would end up in the middle.

, returned to the sea again as his pirate leader.

But after a few days, there was no response from Yu Xiaotian, and according to his instructions, Cai Shanji and Xie Longyi presided over the adaptation of his men in Weitou Bay. This made Xiong Wencan worry about it for many days.

Put it back into the belly again.

However, Xiong Wencan didn't dare to make any small moves anymore, for fear of offending this guy Yu Xiaotian.

Less than half a month after Yu Xiaotian was adopted and reorganized in Weitou Bay, Xiong Wencan ordered Yu Xiaotian to completely eradicate Mr. Chu Cai, who had been entrenched along the coast of Zhangzhou and caused trouble for many years.

Of course Yu Xiaotian knew that this was Xiong Wencan's first test of him, so he sent Lin Yiyang secretly to Yunxiaoyi and met Mr. Chu Cai. After that, the battle to suppress the bandits in Zhangzhou took place.

The key to this, however, is that only Yu Xiaotian and a few people around him know the whole story, that is, many of Chu Cai's big bosses, after learning that Yu Xiaotian was being cared for, started to hate Chu Cai.

Yixin, on the one hand, secretly tried to contact Yu Xiaotian and take refuge in Xiaotian, but on the other hand, he secretly tried to join forces to kill Mr. Chu Cai.

Their secret activities were quickly discovered by Yu Xiaotian's subordinates, who informed Yu Xiaotian immediately.

Yu Xiaotian, Lin Yiyang and others discussed the matter carefully. Although Chu Cai was not an ally of Shanghai Wolf, in the past two years, he was quite respectful to Xiaotian, whether it was dealing with Zheng Yiguan or

When dealing with the government, Mr. Chu Cai did not secretly make trouble, but instead actively helped Yu Xiaotian.

In addition, since the Battle of Nanri Island, the merchant ships of Sea Wolf have basically not been robbed by Chu Cai Lao when they passed through the territory controlled by Chu Cai Lao. Occasionally, Chu Cai Lao's men encountered Sea Wolf's merchant ships.

We will also take the initiative to escort you for a certain distance.

And last year, Mr. Chu Cai took people to go hunting on the sea in Guangdong. They happened to bump into two sea wolf ships transporting goods to Guangdong. They were besieged by a group of pirate ships. Mr. Chu Cai did not stand by and watch, but rescued them.

These two sea wolf merchant ships later sent a ship to escort him back to Nanri Island.

These things fully show that Mr. Chu Cai has now surrendered to the sea wolf's military front, and has no more thoughts of fighting with the sea wolf. He always takes the initiative to show his kindness to Xiaotian. Therefore, based on this, Yu Xiaotian feels that now

Putting him to death does not seem to be in line with his attitude towards life.

However, if Mr. Chu Cai is killed at this time, it will also be quite beneficial to Sea Wolf, that is, Sea Wolf can take advantage of the situation to recruit a group of Chu Cai's subordinates, and successfully bring the coastal area of ​​Zhangzhou Prefecture into its control.

The benefits are obvious.

But Lin Yiyang expressed his opposition to putting Mr. Chu Cai to death now, because Lin Yiyang said four words to Yu Xiaotian: "The rabbit will die and the dog will cook."

In this way, Yu Xiaotian completely gave up the idea of ​​killing Mr. Chu Cai, and sent Lin Yiyang to Yunxiaoyi to sing such a good show with Mr. Chu Cai.

As for the pirate bosses who tried to betray Chu Cai's old men and wanted to join Xiaotian, Yu Xiaotian didn't bother to take them in. Such a bunch of people who just follow the wind will not see the old man they have worked for for many years.

When the situation was weak, he wanted to kill such a person. Yu Xiaotian had no intention of using him for his own use, so he joined forces with Mr. Chu Cai to set up an ambush on the sea near Zhangzhou.

Mr. Chu Cai deliberately sent these gang of shopkeepers who were trying to betray him to harass Zhangzhou Prefecture. As a result, these guys were treated as a big gift by Mr. Chu Cai and given to Yu Xiaotian, using their heads as

Yu Xiaotian's first petition after being adopted also became Yu Xiaotian's first achievement after being adopted.
