Chen Sipan used this trick that has also been used by pirates and pirates in history, and the effect is quite good, after all, the coastline of the Ming Dynasty is so long, it is impossible to set up heavy guards everywhere.

At that time, the famous anti-Japanese generals Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang were all disgraced by this trick, it was not that they couldn't beat the pirates and pirates, but the pirates and the pirates didn't fight them at all, the coastline was so long, and there was no fixed number of people going east and west, and if you couldn't beat it, you would run, even if you were powerful, it would be useless.

Their suppression of the Japanese is not smooth sailing, at the beginning they were also played by pirates and pirates, many times they were punished by the imperial court because of the unfavorable suppression of the Japanese, especially Yu Dayou, that was raised up and taken down, raised up and down, I don't know how many times it was picked up.

Yang Cong originally wanted to prevent pirates and pirates from playing this trick, so he desperately built new warships to seize control of the sea, as long as the sea area was under control, even if the pirates and pirates wanted to play this trick, there was no way, after all, they had to go through the sea to harass everywhere, if the sea route was blocked, they would not be able to play any tricks.

It's a pity that at this time, Nantai Shipyard was able to build three fleets, and the waters of Nanzhili, Zhejiang and Fujian were basically controlled by the Daming Navy, but the waters of Guangdong and Shandong were still blank.

Chen Sipan also saw that there were not many opportunities, so he decided to give it a go.

He consulted with the pirate leaders for a while, and finally decided that all his men would gather near his lair first, and after counting the number of ships and the number of people participating in the battle, he would decide where to attack.

His nest is not only on this small island, the chicken coop port in the south of the island, including the nearby area, is under his control, after all, he has nearly 10,000 men and horses, not just by robbing to feed, they also have to farm and produce food.

It's just that the people on Dongfan Island don't get along with them very well, and the two sides often clash over land, and the surrounding area of Jilong Harbor is not very safe, so he will build his nest on this relatively safe Sheliao Island.

If you want to count the "territory" near Chicken Coop Harbor, the territory he occupies is still not small, and it is no problem to live tens of thousands of people temporarily, which is also the reason why other pirates are willing to come to him to gather, because the territory of other pirates is not as big as his, and there is no room for tens of thousands of people.

These more than ten pirates really want to gather all of them, not to mention 30,000 or 40,000 horses, if they rush up and run to Guangdong to plunder everywhere, can Liu Xian cope with it?

If they really rushed up as planned, Liu Xian would definitely not be able to cope with it, because the coastline of Guangdong was too long, more than thousands of miles, and if the pirates and pirates really dispersed into more than ten groups and landed at the same time, even if his 10,000 men and horses ran to death, they would not be able to keep busy.

In other words, Yang Cong seems to be yin again, if Guangdong is really blooming everywhere, will he be picked up by Jiajing?

Fortunately, he was not unprepared.

After the discussion of these pirate leaders, they each took a boat back to their lair to transfer troops, it seemed that everything was normal, but no one expected that one of these pirate leaders named Wang Dan did not return to his lair, he actually took a group of his "cronies", drove the fast boat, and went straight to Quanzhou Mansion!

This guy has actually been sold by Yang Cong a long time ago, or rather, his lair has been taken over by Yang Cong, his subordinates, his family, including his family, are almost in Yang Cong's hands at this time, and the ones who came to the party with him are not his pirates at all, nor are they robbers, but the elites of Deng Cheng and his subordinates!

He also poured blood mold for eight lifetimes, when he followed Lu Qi and Shen Jiu to block Wang Zhi, not only did he not catch anything, but he also folded a sea boat, and all the men on that boat were served by the officers and soldiers.

This is not the most unlucky, the most unfortunate thing is that his subordinates are all soft bones, and the location of his lair was confessed by the officers and soldiers after being intimidated.

His nest is on an island in the waters near Zhejiang, and once the location is exposed, the result can be imagined.

It didn't take long for officers and soldiers to come to the door.

There are only a few hundred people under his command who can really fight, and there are only a few sea ships, how can they be the opponents of thousands of officers and soldiers and dozens of warships, they were served by the officers and soldiers without any resistance.

At that time, he thought that everything was over, and what greeted him was to escort him to the capital and behead him after the autumn, but he never thought that the governor Yang Cong not only did not kill him, but also returned all the several sea ships under his command to him, and also arranged hundreds of strong "cronies to escort" him.

Of course, these guards are not there to protect him, but to spy on him.

He also knew that if he didn't honestly contact other pirates and respond to the officers and soldiers as the Governor told him, then not only him, but even his subordinates, his family, and even his subordinates would be clicked by the Governor!

He was forced to be the internal response of the officers and soldiers, but the other pirate leaders never suspected him, because he was too active, not only did he go when he besieged Wang Zhi last time, but he also actively contacted pirates from all walks of life later, and it seemed that he wanted revenge, who would doubt such an "activist".

Lu Qi didn't suspect him, Shen Jiu didn't suspect him, and Chen Sipan was even the first to think of him when he convened the pirate leader to discuss.

No one expected that this guy would be the internal response of the officers and soldiers, and this time, their plans were all exposed!

Yang Cong was really shocked when he received the news, if these guys were allowed to succeed, then his position as governor would really be suspended, after all, no matter how noisy the pirates and pirates were, they had not rushed ashore at the same time to loot frantically, and if these tens of thousands of pirates were scattered and rushed to the coast of Guangdong to plunder, even if Jiajing wanted to spare him, Yan Song would not let go of this opportunity.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to arrange Wang Dan's internal response.

Wang Dan not only brought Chen Sipan's overall plan, but also roughly probed the strength of these pirates.

Although these more than ten pirates sound more scary, in fact, there are not many ships under their hands, except for Chen Sipan, Lu Qi and Shen Jiu, who have twenty or thirty sea ships under their hands, the other pirate leaders do not have much family background, and each person only has a few sea ships in their hands, that is to say, all the pirates have gathered all the sea ships There are more than a hundred.

This is a very important piece of information, because the pirates do not have many ships, so it will take a long time for them to gather all the personnel to Chen Sipan, according to Wang Dan's rough estimate, it will take at least a month for these pirates to gather all the people who can participate in the battle.

There are more things that can be done in this month or so, Yang Cong can completely assemble all the new warships of the Fujian Naval Division, the Zhejiang Naval Division, and the Nanzhili Naval Division, and he can also transfer all the elite infantry soldiers of the three provinces.

Soon, a bold plan came to his mind, he hurriedly sent clippers to Zhejiang and Nanzhili to gather men and warships, and at the same time, the infantry and warships of Fujian began to secretly assemble in Quanzhou, and a decisive battle with the pirates began to quietly begin.
