Daming pirates

The reason why Zheng Yiguan was able to escape smoothly was because he knew the sea wolves too well. When he found that the fire boat fleet was ineffective, he was ready to escape as soon as possible. When Liu Xiang led the pirates

When they swarmed up to fight to the death with the sea wolf, he led his men and deliberately slowed down and fell behind.

When the pirates were crippled by the Sea Wolf fleet, he ordered them to break out and escape. Although they were later bitten by some Sea Wolf ships and killed more than a dozen of his ships, his main force was able to escape in the end.

Among the pirate alliances, Zheng Yiguan's fleet equipment quality is considered to be the best. He has several large plywood ships on hand. Although they are all old ships, they are equipped with a lot of artillery and their firepower is still quite strong.

, several of the Sea Wolf's flying-shaped clippers tried to bite his main warships, but in the end they only sank one. Instead, they concentrated fire and damaged three flying-shaped clipping ships.

Therefore, among the thieves who came to fight with Yu Xiaotian this time, only Zheng Yiguan finally maintained a relatively complete fighting force and successfully escaped from the battlefield. The rest suffered heavy losses. As the leader of the alliance, Liu Xiang simply decided to fight before

He ended up dead without a whole body. If he hadn't picked up a minion later and confessed the circumstances of Liu Xiang's death, Yu Xiaotian would not have been able to confirm that Liu Xiang had been killed by him.

Seeing that it was getting late, the remaining pirates had fled the Daya Bay area and scattered like birds and beasts. Yu Xiaotian no longer asked for pursuit and sent an order to Cyclops to withdraw his troops and rest.

The Sea Wolf fleet rested in Daya Bay for more than ten days before they finally took home the victory. Among the islands in Daya Bay, several important islands are controlled by Sea Wolf, including several fishing villages along the coast.

Controlled by the sea wolf.

Although the lives of fishermen in these fishing villages are very difficult, most of them are related to pirates, so these fishermen were all arrested by Yu Xiaotian in the name of being traitors and sent to Taiwan for investigation.

placement.

As for the original fishing villages, Sea Wolf personnel have been stationed there, and the entire Daya Bay area is under control.

In addition, this time they captured a large number of pirates, and screening and interrogating these pirates also took up their manpower and time.

There are many pirate leaders among these pirates, or even big shopkeepers. They have a lot of information. This information is particularly important to Xiaotian, because it is absolutely impossible for these pirates to bring a large amount of property with them.

Come and fight with the sea wolf.

Each of them has his own nest owner, each has his own old camp or a place to hide his property. If this information is not dug out from their mouths as soon as possible, then these property will likely be transferred in the future. In that case,

It gives others a free advantage.

So Yu Xiaotian let the intelligence department directly participate in the interrogation. These intelligence personnel were all ruthless and ruthless. They began to torture these guys without mercy. They were quickly squeezed out and sorted out.

A lot of useful information.

Some of the important information even involved many famous gentry and officials on the mainland, as well as many generals in Guangdong.

Yu Xiaotian valued this information very much, and asked the intelligence department to compile this information and keep it as a secret. Sooner or later, he will use this information. As for the pirates' nest owners, they will be kept secret for a while.

Yu Xiaotian is already busy.

The great harvest this time is not based on how many prisoners and ships they captured, nor how many weapons and ammunition they seized. The most important harvest is this information. In the future, as long as you use this information and follow the map, you can dig out quite a lot.

much wealth.

As soon as Liu Xiang died, his men immediately dispersed. Liu Xiang's troops in the Pearl River Estuary area also quickly collapsed. Zheng Yiguan took the opportunity to take in many of Liu Xiang's old troops, and immediately made up for his losses in Daya Bay.

He even took the opportunity to expand his strength a lot.

But Zheng Yiguan did not dare to take over the Pearl River Estuary area. After hurriedly gathering a large number of scattered pirates and ships, he hurriedly took his men, loaded up their gains this year, and fled southward.

Go, because Zheng Yiguan knew that Yu Xiaotian would immediately send his troops southward.

If you continue to stay in the Pearl River Estuary area, you are simply waiting for death. Yu Xiaotian's fleet is really terrifying. Even if he now gathers the scattered remnants of pirates and greatly increases his strength in the short term, there is absolutely no

Ability to defeat Yu Xiaotian's fleet.

The technical difference between the two sides is really too great. This gap can no longer be made up by the number of people and ships. Zheng Yiguan really has the courage of a strong man to cut off his wrist. Even if he is determined to give up the territory he has worked hard for these years,

He took his men and fleet with him and headed south to the coast of Guangxi.

Zheng Yiguan was really frightened by Yu Xiaotian. When he saw Yu Xiaotian's Seawolf fleet again this time, he suddenly discovered that even though he had worked very hard over the years, their footsteps had not stopped.

And it has developed faster than him. Now, all of Sea Wolf's fleet have been replaced by new ships, and the quality of the artillery loaded is far better than before.

Not to mention that he completely defeated the Sea Wolf fleet, even if this fleet only dispatched one-third of its strength, I am afraid he has no chance of winning. If Yu Xiaotian continues to lead these fleets southward

, then he will be the next Liu Xiang, and the only thing waiting for him is the destruction of the group.

So no matter whether he is willing or not, he has no choice but to admit defeat. The next thing he should consider is taking these men and escaping to somewhere. Guangxi will not be safe anyway. Yu Xiaotian is serving Xiong Wencan this time.

Yu Xiaotian was ordered to completely wipe out the pirate forces along the coasts of Guangdong and Guangxi. Yu Xiaotian would never stop heading south just when he reached the mouth of the Pearl River.

So Zheng Yiguan sadly discovered that there seemed to be no place for him to stand on the coast of the Ming Dynasty. Once Yu Xiaotian's army pointed directly at the coastal area of ​​Leizhou, Guangxi, he only had one way left, and that was to go far to Nanyang and get there.

Find a place to stay and continue his business.

Although Zheng Yiguan was not caught again this time, it is still a pity for Xiaotian, but now Zheng Yiguan is no longer the same status in Xiaotian's mind. Although Zheng Yiguan is a capable person,

But he, Yu Xiaotian, is the biggest bug in this era. Without him, there would be no market for Zheng Yiguan.

Although I have to admit that Zheng Yiguan is indeed a talent, this person always wants to be his enemy and cannot be used by him. Moreover, this person has great flaws in his character. Historically, he turned his back and surrendered to the Manchus.

We can see the speculative nature of his character. Ming Dynasty gave him everything he could, but in the end he chose to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Even when his wife was forced to death by the Qing army, he turned a blind eye and wanted to hug her.

The new master's thighs.

Therefore, even if such a person is willing to be used by him, he will never use him, because Zheng Yiguan's character is destined that even if he surrenders to Xiaotian, sooner or later, he will betray him to Xiaotian for profit.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian's treatment of Zheng Yiguan has only one result, which is to drive him to death without leaving any future troubles.

News of the Daya Bay victory soon spread to all parts of Guangdong and Guangxi. Xiong Wencan, as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, naturally learned the news immediately.

So Xiong Wencan sent someone to congratulate Yu Xiaotian on the victory, and at the same time hurriedly reported to the court and conveyed the news of the great victory to the court. This was a big event. Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is full of smoke. Such a great victory is undoubtedly an excellent thing for the Ming Dynasty.

It was news that boosted morale, so Xiong Wencan did not dare to delay, and immediately sent people to rush the news to the capital.

As for Yu Xiaotian himself, he no longer cares much about these so-called rewards and awards. This time his purpose is very simple, which is to completely capture the coastal areas of Guangdong and Guangxi and completely control the Ming Dynasty's external trade routes.

As long as the south is not in chaos, this sea trade will continuously bring him huge benefits every year, then he will be able to arm more soldiers and horses and reserve more food.

More than ten days after the Battle of Daya Bay, Sea Wolf's fleet began to head south again. In the Pearl River Estuary area, it has been completely chaotic these days. When Liu Xiang was here before, there was still some order here, but Liu Xiang

As soon as he died, his men immediately dispersed, and the Pearl River Estuary suddenly became a land without one.

As a result, many unscrupulous pirates immediately swarmed here, hoping to grab territory or take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit. Therefore, the merchant ships entering and leaving the Pearl River Estuary these days were in bad luck and became the carnival of these small groups of pirates.

goal.

Many merchant ships were robbed by pirates here these days. The pirates killed many people and robbed many ships. However, Yu Xiaotian did not give them too much time to party, so he led his troops to the Pearl River Estuary.

In just a few days, it swept across the entire Pearl River Estuary, sorting out the entire Pearl River Estuary area as if it were spread over a large sheet.

This time, the operation to clean up the Pearl River Estuary has almost wiped out all the pirates operating in this area. Those who are clever and quick can escape, but those who are stupid and want to hide here and take the opportunity to make a fortune, this time

It was a stroke of bad luck, as the Sea Wolf fleet swatted them to death one by one like flies in the Pearl River Estuary area.

Some pirates were chased and had no way to escape, so they even plunged into the Pearl River Estuary, went upstream, and escaped into the water as dense as a spider.

Yu Xiaotian has already arranged for manpower here, and has learned a lot about the situation here. He has also drawn detailed water maps and marked out some important towns.

In the Guangzhou area, because of the dense water, many gentry built their own manors and castles here, and organized groups to practice rural bravery to protect themselves. The local power was so strong that it could almost be said to be a self-contained entity. Basically, government orders were issued here.

Doesn't make sense.

Therefore, many of these wealthy gentry are engaged in maritime trade and own their own ships. At the same time, many of them have colluded with pirates, or are simply the masterminds behind some pirates. Some of them are willing to act as pirates in order to make profits.

They were the owners of their nests, shipped goods for the pirates, and purchased the pirates' stolen goods.

(I forgot to express my gratitude to the brothers of Hell’s Angels No. 1, Laughing Spring Breeze in the Desert, South-South Language, and The Sky Under War this morning. I’ll quickly make up for it now! Haha!)
