Daming pirates

Now, in order to further expand food import resources, Yu Xiaotian finally decided to take military action to use force to occupy a place in Li Dynasty to serve as his bridgehead, where he would continue to obtain population, labor, food, and coal in the future.

Waiting for resources, now that he has not directly participated in the war in the Central Plains, the soldiers should not be idle yet, and first go to train with the army of the Le Dynasty in Vietnam. This is considered as training.

Therefore, while he sent troops to occupy Jeju Island by force, after returning to Weitou Bay, he ordered the army to continue to expand its troops, recruit troops again and form ten new infantry battalions and three standard artillery battalions. Some of the troops would be deployed first.

Going to Le Chao in Vietnam, it is best to kill Le Chao and control the entire northern Vietnam first.

Whether other people are happy or not is not his concern.

A few months later, One-Eyed Dragon sent back a message from Leizhou, Guangxi. After several months of fierce pursuit, the large pirate forces along the coast of Guangdong and Guangxi were attacked by the Yu family army.

The ice disintegrated one by one, and many pirates had nowhere to go. They had to surrender to the Yu family army, were disarmed, and were transferred to Hong Kong in large numbers, becoming the basic labor force for the preparation of Hong Kong.

But Zheng Yiguan, a slick guy, saw that he could not stop the Yu family's army from heading south. After two battles with the Sea Wolf fleet, they were completely defeated. He only had a few Western-style ships on hand.

The plywood boat was also completely lost in the two battles.

So Zheng Yiguan immediately announced his acceptance of the recruitment in Leizhou, surrendered to the Guangxi government, and was awarded the official position of coastal defense by the Guangxi governor.

Zheng Yiguan did this suddenly, intending to obtain an official status by surrendering to the government, clear his identity as a thief, and prevent Yu Xiaotian from continuing to attack him.

But after the one-eyed dragon sent the news to Yu Xiaotian, Yu Xiaotian immediately replied with a few words: "Kill them all!"

After receiving the order, Cyclops immediately continued to lead the fleet and blocked Zheng Yiguan's fleet in Qinzhou Bay. With a fierce attack, almost all of Zheng Yiguan's remaining ships were annihilated in Qinzhou Bay.

It can be said that Zheng Yiguan's entire strength was completely eliminated through this battle.

At this time, Zheng Yiguan was in Guilin for an official appointment and was not in Qinzhou Bay, so he luckily escaped with his life. However, not long after, Zheng Yiguan learned that his entire army had been wiped out, and left with his seal.

Zheng Yiguan disappeared without a trace and was never seen again.

Later, there were many rumors about Zheng Yiguan. Some people said that Zheng Yiguan was secretly kidnapped and killed by people sent by Yu Xiaotian. Others said that Zheng Yiguan knew that he had no soldiers at hand and knew that he had committed a serious crime.

If he dared to stay in Guangxi, he disguised himself as a merchant and went to sea in Southeast Asia. Later, he fled to Siam and settled in Siam anonymously.

However, some people say that after Zheng Yiguan was left penniless by Yu Xiaotian, he was unwilling to fail. He went to Weitou Bay incognito and disguised himself, and tried to assassinate Yu Xiaotian. However, after his failure, he was killed by Yu Xiaotian's bodyguards.

Some people even say that Zheng Yiguan later took refuge with the red-haired people and worked as an interpreter in Batavia. In short, no one can really say clearly what fate Zheng Yiguan ended up with. This matter was also later revealed by Xiaotian.

He kept silent, so from then on Zheng Yiguan's whereabouts became an unsolved mystery.

During the ninth year of Chongzhen, Yu Xiaotian reintegrated all the forces in Guangdong and Guangxi, and adopted many extreme measures to attack the wealthy gentry families in the coastal areas of Guangdong and Guangxi. On the surface, the coastal areas of Guangdong and Guangxi seemed to be much more peaceful, but they also

Several large groups of pirates have emerged and continue to operate in Guangdong and Guangxi.

These pirates are well-equipped. They not only operate at sea, but also often invade land. They even go deep into the interior of Guangdong and Guangxi and attack some large Zhuangbao villages.

During this year, at least hundreds of evil gentry and local tyrants in Guangdong and Guangxi had their homes destroyed, disappeared inexplicably, or were assassinated inexplicably, setting off a targeted bloody storm in Guangdong and Guangxi.

However, few people know why these people suffered this disaster in the end, which has made many squires in Guangdong and Guangxi feel in danger. Many squires are even too scared to leave their homes and hide in their homes all day long.

I prayed in the deep courtyard of my house, asking for God’s blessing.

But the actual situation is that through this method, Yu Xiaotian has always delayed the so-called bandit suppression process along the entire coast of Guangdong and Guangxi. By raising thieves to respect themselves, he has continuously fostered new pirate forces for their use, and through the so-called "pirates"

"Raids and raids gradually penetrated the power into all parts of Guangdong and Guangxi, especially the coastal areas, and completely controlled the coastal areas of Guangdong and Guangxi in his hands.

The most important thing is that by pacifying the pirates along the coasts of Guangdong and Guangxi, he completely controlled the entire southern sea in his hands. In this counter-insurgency activity, Yu Xiaotian was not only fighting against pirate forces from all sides.

During the battle, Yu Xiaotian also challenged the dark order that had formed in Guangdong and Guangxi over the years, completely cutting off the secret cooperation relationships established between many local officials, gentry and local tyrants, and pirates.

His actions undoubtedly challenged the bottom line of many people and touched the actual interests of many people. Many vested interests were very dissatisfied with him and took many boycott measures against him.

These people who surfaced naturally became Yu Xiaotian's enemies and became the objects that he must eliminate. However, Yu Xiaotian still had the identity of the Ming Dynasty's general soldier for the time being. Naturally, he could not go into battle naked to eliminate these enemies.

Therefore, we can only use agents secretly or use shady means to cut them off one by one.

Through such vicious methods, Yu Xiaotian caused countless murders in Guangdong and Guangxi. However, due to the careful organization, after these murders occurred, it was impossible to sit on his head, and naturally no one could do anything against him.

Even a deputy general in Guangxi, because he was interested in a large sugar cane field controlled by Sea Wolf and the sugar factory built, tried to put this huge industry into his pocket, and eventually had a head-on conflict with the Sea Wolf Group, and he sent troops

He forcibly broke into a sugar house owned by the Sea Wolf Group, arrested and killed many workers in the sugar house, and also took the people in charge here into the military camp, where they were eventually tortured to death.

After the news reached Xiaotian's ears, Yu Xiaotian was furious and sent a fifty-man special operations detachment directly to Guangxi. Overnight, the deputy general's home was sneaked into and the whole family was excepted.

Children under the age of fifteen eventually disappeared, and the rest were all killed.

The deputy general in Guangxi burst into tears when he heard the news and rushed home with his soldiers. However, on the way home, he was blocked by unknown people. Under a hail of gunfire, the deputy general was beaten with holes.

He died on the spot, and his own soldiers also suffered heavy casualties. At this point, the deputy general and his family were wiped out.

This incident later had a great impact. Even Xiong Wencan, who had always supported Yu Xiaotian, was furious when he heard about it and demanded a strict investigation into who had done it. However, after repeated investigations, all the fingers were pointed at the Sea Wolf Group.

It is tantamount to pointing at Yu Xiaotian, but there is no evidence to prove that Yu Xiaotian is the real culprit behind the scenes.

The only evidence that can prove that Yu Xiaotian ordered someone to do this is that the unidentified people who sniped and killed the deputy general used high-range and accurate muskets. It is said that only Yu Xiaotian's Yu Jiajun

To have it, there is no semicolon other than that.

Xiong Wencan sent someone to send a letter to Yu Xiaotian, asking whether Yu Xiaotian had done this. However, Yu Xiaotian denied it and firmly refused to admit that he had done it.

It was obviously not appropriate to use deformed lead bullets to testify that Yu Xiaotian had done this, so Xiong Wencan had no choice but to let it go.

The imperial court also heard about this incident, and of course they speculated that Yu Xiaotian might have done it. However, due to insufficient evidence, Chongzhen naturally did not dare to do anything to Xiaotian easily.

And Yu Xiaotian also used this secret method to make people in Guangdong and Guangxi understand the truth. Whoever you fight against should not fight against Sea Wolf. Fighting against Sea Wolf means fighting against Yu Xiaotian, and fighting against Yu Xiaotian.

If they go against them, then what awaits them is thunderous means. It would be easy to kill one of them, but their entire family will be wiped out at every turn.

So in this way, after the Sea Wolf Group established its power there, things became much smoother. Whenever they wanted to acquire any land or get involved in any industry, the local local tyrants and evil gentry, including local officials,

, did not dare to fight against it, and could only let it go.

During this period, of course, there were some local tyrants and evil gentry who were unwilling to have their interests encroached upon, so they secretly planned many hostile actions against Sea Wolf, including secretly bribing local ruffians, setting fires late at night, assassinating Sea Wolf personnel, and other means

, but the Sea Wolf Group has never tolerated such hostile actions.

As long as the Sea Wolf Group's industry is damaged in any way and personnel are harmed in any way, Sea Wolf will soon respond.

In fact, in this era, it is not difficult to find out who did these things. As long as you spend a little money in the market, you can quickly find out the information, and finally get the intelligence to find out who is secretly instigating.

Therefore, the person in charge is often assassinated or exterminated within an extreme period of time. Sometimes the Sea Wolf's revenge is so brutal that it even makes people shudder. Many wealthy families who are enemies of the Sea Wolf can still sleep well at night.

After dawn, no one opened the door to the whole family. It was not discovered until a few days later that the whole family was slaughtered in the yard from top to bottom. Not even a single dog was left behind.

Only, it can be said that the chickens and dogs are not left behind.

And afterward, this kind of thing will spread automatically, even very far away. Someone secretly directly said that this thing was done by Sea Wolf. The cause and effect are all said to have a nose and eyes, and people can't tell whether it is true or not, but it is

It effectively deters those who want to be enemies of Sea Wolf, so that before they attack the industrial personnel of Sea Wolf Group, they must first think about it themselves. They can't bear the retaliation afterwards.
