Chapter 17 Fighting with the heavens and the earth is endless
Lin Yiyang didn't mind Yu Xiaotian having someone take his place in Tamsui City, because the position of Freshwater City's civil affairs manager was not what he wanted, and the reason why he wanted to stay in Tamsui City for a period of time was actually to show his ability, and now that his ability had been affirmed by Yu Xiaotian, there was no need for him to continue to stay in Tamsui City.
And his real goal is to stay by Yu Xiaotian's side, looking at how far Yu Xiaotian has come, if Yu Xiaotian can really achieve a great cause as he thinks, then he will not just be a county magistrate.
Therefore, this time he heard that Yu Xiaotian transferred him back to Nanri Island, Lin Yiyang happily accepted it, immediately handed over the matter at hand, and rushed back to Nanri Island by boat.
After listening to Lin Yiyang's work report, Yu Xiaotian put away a codex about the gains and losses of civil affairs that Lin Yiyang had sorted out in Tamsui Village during this time, and had time to carefully review it.
He took Lin Yiyang back to his study instead, and after a brief greeting of Lin Yiyang's physical life, he told Lin Yiyang about some of the things he had considered recently, focusing on the relationship with the official and Zheng Yiguan.
After hearing this, Lin Yiyang thought about it first, and replied to Xiaotian: "This time the dispute between the big boss and the government should be over, and the dismissal of Zhu Qinxiang, the governor of Fujian, should also be over."
As for the next new governor of Zhejiang, Zhu Yifeng, how to treat us, this still needs to wait and see, but in the near future, his subordinates thought that we should stop first and sell this Zhu Yifeng a face.
Zhu Yifeng was a local official in Fujian before, and he was more familiar with local affairs in Fujian, so he should know us better than Zhu Qinxiang, so his subordinates thought that after Zhu Qinxiang's experience, Zhu Yifeng should not easily embarrass us again.
But after all, this time, the big boss destroyed dozens of warships of the sailors in one fell swoop, shelled the two places of Puxi and Chongwu, and raided dozens of villages along the coast one after another.
Now that Zhu Yifeng has taken over as the governor of Fujian, this matter always has to be explained to the imperial court, and it depends on how the big boss looks at this matter next.
His subordinates personally estimate that this Zhu Yifeng is difficult to ride a tiger at the moment, and he will definitely use troops against Nanri Island, but it is just a matter of time! If the big boss is unwilling to give up this Nanri Island, then he can only continue to be the enemy of the government, fight with them, and see the real chapter under his hands.
But if the big boss doesn't want to get into trouble with the government to the point of being out of control, he might as well consider taking a step back from Nanri Island and letting the officials and soldiers land on the island, and let's come back afterwards, so that Zhu Yifeng can give an explanation to the imperial court.
It's just that I don't know if the big boss is willing to do this, and my subordinates can only provide these two suggestions to the big boss! ”
Yu Xiaotian frowned, nodded and said: "This is reasonable, the matter has come to this point, and there are only these two ways to choose!" But at the moment, there is no rush in this matter, I will think about it again! After all, Zhu Yifeng has just taken office, and I have now ordered everywhere to stop attacking and harassing the shore, which can be regarded as giving him face, and in a short period of time, the Fujian side will not be able to mobilize enough troops and warships to attack Nanri Island, and they will need more than half a year to prepare at the earliest, so we still have time to think about this matter slowly!
The important thing at the moment is the matter between Yan Siqi and Zheng Yiguan, Zheng Yiguan has taken over the plate of his stepfather Li Dan, and his strength has suddenly skyrocketed, and it has far exceeded Yan Siqi's strength now!
As the saying goes, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, Yan Siqi, the strength of the big shopkeeper is not as strong as his brothers, naturally Zheng Yiguan and his subordinates will no longer obey Yan Siqi's words, at present, from the news we have learned, the two of them are already at odds with each other, and then Zheng Yiguan does not know what to do, this is what I am worried about.
At present, we have controlled most of the sea surface along the coast of Fujian, and Zheng Yiguan will definitely take Zhangquan and other places in Fujian as his territory, and then he will definitely grab land with Chu Cailao and us, there is no doubt about it! So what we should do next to this Zheng Yiguan is something we must decide immediately. ”
Lin Yiyang thought for a while and nodded and said: "The big boss is reasonable, this Zheng Yiguan is not an ordinary person, if he didn't take over Li Dan's plate, it would be fine, but now that he suddenly took over such a big plate, he must find a way to find food for his subordinates, then he will definitely set off strong winds and waves in the coastal areas of Fujian or Guangdong, let's take precautions in advance, it should be!"
In the eyes of his subordinates, this time Zheng Yiguan's sudden increase in strength is actually good and bad for us! ”
Yu Xiaotian immediately asked, "Oh? Where's the benefit? What are the disadvantages? ”
After Lin Yiyang took a sip of water, he said to Xiaotian: "Big boss, in the past year, Yan Siqi has already become wary of us after we defeated Chu Cailao, and when we negotiated with Chu Cailao, he secretly put us together and emptied the sea surface in Quanzhou, so that he had the opportunity to meddle in the sea in Quanzhou.
In the past six months, Yan Siqi has also done this, and has been very active in the sea around Quanzhou, and even entered and exited Meizhou Bay.
Now the sudden rise of Zheng Yiguan has made Yan Siqi's strength weaker than Zheng Yiguan, so it is only a matter of time before they turn against each other, with Yan Siqi's strength, he is definitely not Zheng Yiguan's opponent now, so if I am Yan Siqi, then the best way for me at the moment is to find a backer and use my strength to fight against Zheng Yiguan.
In this way, Yan Siqi can have the opportunity to continue to gain a foothold on Taiyuan Island, otherwise Yan Siqi will be sealed by Zheng Yiguan in the area of Bengang, once he is cut off from the land, then he can only sit and wait for the collapse!
At present, the only people who can cooperate with Yan Siqi are us and Chu Cailao, but Yan Siqi should know very well which is stronger or weaker between us and Chu Cailao.
With Zheng Yiguan's current strength, I'm afraid that even Chu Cailao may not be his opponent, he can compete with him, Yan Siqi should also be able to understand this, so if he chooses, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, then he will find a big boss to cooperate, even if he and Zheng Yiguan turn against each other, Zheng Yiguan wants to cut off his connection with the land, as long as we are here, he can still contact the land through us.
So if it is not surprising, Yan Siqi should find our door in the near future, be soft with the big boss, and ask the big boss to help him!
Therefore, this matter is beneficial to us, as long as we join forces with Yan Siqi, then we can find a lot of trouble for Zheng Yiguan, and Zheng Yiguan can't concentrate on grabbing land with us, so this is the advantage of this matter!
But of course, the disadvantage is that Zheng Yiguan's strength has suddenly increased greatly, making us have one more opponent, although we are very strong now, but Zheng Yiguan has a wide range of contacts, and his strength is not weaker than ours, and even the number of ships and the number of people in the department are much stronger than us!
This has added a big trouble to us, and I am afraid that in the future, Zheng Yiguan will become our biggest enemy! ”
Yu Xiaotian lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and then pressed it out in a glass ashtray, looked at Lin Yiyang calmly and said, "Then what if we continue to maintain a good relationship with Zheng Yiguan?" If I give him the sea in this area of Quanzhou, will it do us any good? ”
Lin Yiyang saw that Yu Xiaotian was thinking about him, so he immediately shook his head with a smile and said, "The big boss is laughing!" If Zheng Yiguan had done it alone before, it would have been possible, but now he has more than 10,000 people and hundreds of ships under his command, and he can't be satisfied with a small fight.
Most of the coastal areas of Fujian are now controlled by the big bosses, and sooner or later he will have to take the territory from the big bosses, even if the big bosses show favor to him, but Zheng Yiguan can't be the enemy of the big bosses! So the big boss doesn't have to think about it at all! ”
Yu Xiaotian also laughed after hearing this, and said, "It makes sense! So in that case, let him come! That's the kind of life that is fulfilling!
Yu was fortunate to be born in this world, and when he embarked on this road, he could have endless fun fighting with the sky and the earth and people, and God treated me well, which made it clear that he would not let me rest! ……”
Lin Yiyang also felt very interesting when he heard Yu Xiaotian's words, so he immediately laughed with Da Lu.
Sure enough, within two days of Yu Xiaotian and Lin Yiyang talking, Yan Siqi sent a subordinate to Nanri Island to ask to see Yu Xiaotian.
Yu Xiaotian asked who Yan Siqi sent this time, and the people below reported that it was Yan Siqi's person named Chen Xun who was ordered to come to Nanri Island this time.
Yu Xiaotian recalled, he had some impressions of this Chen Xun, this person was Yan Siqi's cronies, and when Yan Siqi came to Taiwan to gain a foothold, he was one of the twenty-eight allied brothers, and he was quite trusted by Yan Siqi, Yu Xiaotian went to Yan Siqi's territory twice, and saw that Yan Siqi always took this Chen Xun with him, which shows that this person is Yan Siqi's most trusted person.
This time Chen Xun came over, it was basically certain that he was sent by Yan Siqi to ask him for help, so Yu Xiaotian nodded and asked Chen Xun to be brought in.
"Long time gone! It turned out that Third Brother Chen was here, and he was disappointed in the future, and I hope that Third Brother Chen will bear with me! When Yu Xiaotian saw Chen Xun walking into his living room, he put down the book in his hand, got up and greeted Chen Xun with a smile on his face.
Chen Xun is only in his thirties, his face is dark, and at a glance, he knows that Lu Dao is a person who begs for a living at sea all the year round, and his height is relatively high in this era, even if the weather is colder now, but he still habitually pulls his sleeves, revealing his muscular arms.
