But Zheng Yiguan left in a hurry after all, although he also packed some of the soft things stored on the island before leaving, but he didn't have time to load all the goods stored on the island and take them away, so after Ma Xiao led his troops to go to the island with Yan Siqi, he still found a large number of goods on the island that Zheng Yiguan didn't have time to take away.

After a rough inventory, Zheng Yiguan's goods were at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, but there was not much silver, most of them were the goods they had recently plundered at sea, including raw silk and porcelain, which were hard currencies in the sea trade, and there were also a lot of timber that they used to repair ships, all of which were needed by the sea wolf.

Under Yu Xiaotian's instructions, Ma Xiao distributed these goods on the spot, and gave a considerable part of them that could be exchanged for money to Yan Siqi and Chu Cailao, while things such as wood, Japanese copper, and cloth were left for the sea wolf's own use.

Yan Siqi and Chu Cai have made their efforts this time, if they want them to continue to follow him Yu Xiaotian as the little brother in the future, they must give them sweetness to eat, otherwise, the boss will eat all the meat, and the little brother will not even be able to drink the soup, maybe they won't dare to say anything, but they will definitely not work hard to help you work in the future.

Yan Siqi and Chu Cailao were also very happy after getting the goods distributed to them, and felt that Yu Xiaotian was really good, his character was really good, he was not the kind of person who was interested in seeing money, and he was very sympathetic to his allies.

However, relatively speaking, Yan Siqi got a lot more than Chu Cailao, because Yan Siqi came over this time, and he almost came out of the nest, and he took his subordinates to fight with Zheng Yiguan The most lively and contributed a lot.

Compared with Yan Siqi, although Chu Cailao also sent people over to help in the war, he did not send too many people and ships, but only symbolically sent a small number of ships and subordinates to participate in this meeting against Zheng Yiguan, so he contributed less, and naturally got less.

Chu Cailao had nothing to say about this, he could only secretly regret that it was better to learn from Yan Siqi and come out of the nest, in this way, Zheng Yiguan would not be able to run if he didn't get it, and he could also get more money.

Although Ma Xiao did not say it explicitly, they also more or less secretly expressed their dissatisfaction with Chu Cailao, and deducted the responsibility for not completely taking down Zheng Yiguan this time on Chu Cailao's head, which made Chu Cailao a little uneasy about it for a long time, for fear that Yu Xiaotian would blame him for turning back.

But Yu Xiaotian did not pursue anything more about Chu Cailao in this matter, and sent someone to express his gratitude to Chu Cailao in the past, and gave Chu Cailao a heavy naval gun that captured the Spaniards, as a thank you gift, this gift is really not light, a heavy cannon was sold to Chu Cailao at that time The price of the sea wolf to Chu Cailao was more than 4,000 taels of silver, although this cannon was not as big as the Hongyi cannon of the Taixi people they saw at the beginning, but it was also similar to the Hongyi cannon they bought before.

Therefore, after receiving this gift, Chu Cailao was even more happy, and repeatedly assured Yu Xiaotian that as long as Yu Xiaotian and the sea wolf had any instructions for him in the future, he was willing to follow the work of dogs and horses, and he would take Yu Xiaotian's horse as a leader in the future.

Chu Cailao is a person who doesn't look old, he used to be a little big, but after suffering enough from Yu Xiaotian, now he immediately began to learn to be a man with his tail between his legs again, and he didn't think he was old, he was big in front of Xiaotian, and now he was willing to take the attitude of the first level, facing Xiaotian and the sea wolf, in front of Xiaotian and the sea wolf, he didn't dare to show that he was also a sea lord.

Yu Xiaotian is very satisfied with Chu Cai's attitude towards him at the moment, at least it shows that this old sea dog is not a stupid person, at least he knows what to do now, although he is a little contemptible to do this, but it fully shows that this Chu Cai is a smart man, knowing that the wind makes the rudder, otherwise he would not have been able to run rampant on the sea for so many years, and he can be regarded as an evergreen tree on the sea in the last years of the Ming Dynasty.

In history, if it weren't for the rise of Zheng Yiguan later, if Chu Cailao had to be wiped out, Chu Cailao would not have made a desperate bet and merged with Zheng Yiguan until he was completely destroyed.

In addition, after this battle, the sea wolf still has a considerable gain, that is, many of Zheng Yiguan's subordinates, seeing that there is no future for Zheng Yiguan, they have chosen to defect or break up with Zheng Yiguan, pull a group of people and ships by themselves, and go alone.

And a considerable number of them, with boats and men, chose to defect to the Seawolf Group, and very few people voted to Chu Cailao and Yan Siqi, because these people are all human spirits, and they can see very well who is the real boss in the coastal areas of Fujian.

This time, in the Penghu area, Ma Xiao collected a total of forty or fifty ships of various colors under Zheng Yiguan, and also collected nearly 1,000 personnel under Zheng Yiguan.

These ships were immediately sent back to Nanri Island by Ma Xiao and handed over to Yu Xiaotian for disposal, because the sea wolf had strict rules, no matter who was allowed to recruit or recruit his subordinates without authorization, all ships and fleets, including soldiers, must send personnel to them through Yu Xiaotian when they needed to increase their manpower.

Unless there is a special reason, they can act cheaply, at the beginning, the black head in Keelung Fort formed some natives into some auxiliaries, which was also approved by Yu Xiaotian's consent and after the punishment hall was recorded, but in the end, after proving that these natives auxiliaries were indeed useful, these auxiliaries still had to be dismantled and distributed to various places to be reorganized.

Through this centralized management method, Yu Xiaotian put an end to the fact that his subordinates privately expanded the number of their subordinates, forming a small group, and at the end of the day, even after some people were full-fledged, a situation was formed.

In addition, Yu Xiaotian firmly controls the logistics supply under his hands, all the weapons of the sea wolf are produced centrally, and then allocated and distributed as needed, even if the weapons captured in wartime must be classified into the council hall first, and then after selection, leave the usable weapons, and reallocate and distribute, so that if someone wants to break up, at most they can take a boat, but they will be completely cut off from the supply of weapons.

Now the Sea Wolf tribes, after getting used to the new cannons and muskets, if they cut off their supplies in this area and let them return to the way before, using tattered weapons, it is estimated that they themselves will not get used to it, even if they split up and take away some of the human ships, but if they want to develop, even if they can get human ships, they can't get such new weapons, and their strength will not be greatly improved.

Therefore, under the control of Xiaotian, it is difficult for the Seawolf Group to form a small force group below, and all the power is in his hands, which can ensure the sufficient stability of his group.

Yu Xiaotian already had mature experience in dealing with these new subordinates of Zheng Yiguan under his command, and he first warmly entertained these old subordinates of Zheng Yiguan who had just joined him, and then gave them a few conditions.

One is that he was willing to pay for their ships, and to give money to the owners of them, to buy their ships, and their men to take over, and after re-training, arrange another place to go.

The second is that if they don't want to sell their ships, they can keep their ships, but they and their personnel on board must also undergo a selection and retraining before they can be incorporated into the fleet, but they cannot be incorporated into the fleet, they can only serve in the merchant fleet first.

Such conditions made it quite difficult for some of the leaders of Zheng Yiguan's original subordinates who had just surrendered, and they originally thought that after they came, they could keep their ships and men, so that they would still have control over the men and ships they had brought.

But now that Yu Xiaotian has given them the conditions, it is clear that they are not allowed to do this, since they have come, they will be completely integrated into the system of the sea wolf, and the ships will be sold to the sea wolf at a price, and they will no longer have any reason to continue to control these ships, and their subordinates will be re-screened, selected and trained, and then resettled, so that they will also lose control over these subordinates.

Even if they don't sell their ships and keep their ships, they won't be able to enter the sea wolf's sailors, and can only be used as merchant ships, so there is not much prospect for them to mess around.

Now Yu Xiaotian has made it clear that he wants to eat them, but he doesn't want to eat them too ugly, so he proposes these two items and lets them choose, as long as these people are not stupid, they will know how to choose.

Since they are here, if they want to go again now, they will definitely not be able to, even if Yu Xiaotian wants them to go, they don't dare to think about where they can go, as long as they leave here with their men and ships, it is equivalent to continuing to fight against him Yu Xiaotian and the sea wolf, it is estimated that they can't run far, they will be blocked by the sea wolf's ship, and then I am afraid that the sea wolf will not be so polite to them as they are now.

The sea wolves now want to destroy a few ships at sea, and it is not as easy as pinching the ants to death, and it is estimated that they will not be left with even a single hair.

So the leaders of the original subordinates of Zheng Yiguan, who had just voted over, after hesitating for a while, expressed one by one that they were willing to give the boat to Yu Xiaotian, and they were also willing to obey Yu Xiaotian's arrangement.

However, Yu Xiaotian did not want them to surrender the ships to him in vain, but still ordered the council hall to inspect and evaluate the ships they brought in conjunction with the people of the ship, and the valuation given was also very reasonable, and then according to the valuation, the council hall sent the silver to these leaders who brought the ships over.
