Chapter 11 Cooperation Intentions
Yu Xiaotian sneered slightly in his heart after hearing this, as far as he knew, the Dutch entrenched in Penghu were not as easy to deal with as Li Yi and the others thought.
In history, Nan Juyi thought of a lot of ways, and it was not until the fourth year of the Apocalypse that he forced the Dutch who occupied Penghu away, and he couldn't remember exactly what time it was, but what he could be sure of was that after Nan Juyi took office as the governor of Fujian, his main focus was on dealing with the Dutch.
However, listening to Li Yi say this, it can be regarded as a wake-up call for Yu Xiaotian, although now he occupies Nanri Island, and Nanri Island is relatively large, which can meet his needs at this stage, but for him, since he is doing this, he does not plan to stop there, Daming has now come to the end, and the Central Plains will be in chaos, like Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yingxiang and other cattle will soon chase the Central Plains, and there are Tartars in the north.
Therefore, how to go on his path to Yu Xiaotian in the future is now a very critical period, even if he has no plans to participate in the Central Plains now, but at least he has to consider the issue of self-protection in the future!
After the Dutch failed to capture Penghu, they switched to Taiwan and occupied the island of Taiwan, and if he remembered correctly, the Spaniards also quickly set their sights on Taiwan, a treasure of feng shui, for him, the island of Taiwan is a threshold to step forward, as long as he continues to do this, sooner or later he will have to face this problem.
Yu Xiaotian had considered going to Taiwan Island to run a base before, but his strength was too weak before, and even if he thought about it, it was in vain.
But now that the situation has begun to change, and now that he has greatly increased his strength, and has considerable subordinates and financial resources, then this matter should be considered.
After coming here for a year, Yu Xiaotian found a very interesting idea of the Ming Dynasty government and imperial court, although the island of Taiwan was there, but before that, the Chinese dynasties did not really include the island of Taiwan into the territory of the mainland, but only included the Penghu Islands into the jurisdiction of the mainland.
Although the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has a lot of mediocre people, but the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has an advantage, that is, he is not weak on the issue of territory, which is stronger than the Song Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven guards the country, which was inherited by the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty from top to bottom, for the issue of territory, still pay more attention, the Dutch obviously did not see this clearly, want to get a place from the existing Ming Dynasty territory as their colony, this is obviously a miscalculation, this is also after they invaded Penghu, the imperial court and Liangguang, Fujian officials have always refused to compromise, requiring them to leave Penghu.
Because no one dares to take responsibility for losing the land, whether it is the current emperor or the local officials, this is also the reason why the imperial court removed the governor of Fujian.
But this island of Taiwan, which is still an enclave for the time being, is not the object of attention from the government and the opposition in the Ming Dynasty, the officials of the Ming Dynasty are very realistic, they just want to keep the existing territory, and they are content to give an explanation to the imperial court, and they have not paid attention to the island of Taiwan at all.
This also laid the groundwork for the later occupation of Taiwan Island by the Dutch and Spaniards to colonize the island of Taiwan, the Dutch obviously saw this in the Penghu Islands, and were guided by some Chinese maritime merchants, so they moved to Tainan and ran the famous city of Geranza, and the Ming Dynasty immediately regarded them as not seeing this and did not care about them anymore.
If it weren't for the fact that Zheng Chenggong was forced to find a stable rear base to compete with the Manchu Tartars, it is estimated that the island of Taiwan may not be included in the Chinese territory by future generations!
So if he Yu Xiaotian has the heart to become big in the future, he won't be able to get around this hurdle, Taiwan Island is a place that must be taken sooner or later, and the sooner the better.
Yu Xiaotian's heart began to move, and unconsciously forgot to talk to Li Yi, Li Yi sat on the side and watched Yu Xiaotian a little distracted, and after waiting for a while, he asked a little embarrassedly: "Yu Dangjia, do you have any other plans?" At the moment, after all, Nanda has just come to take office, and as far as I can see, it is better for Yu Dangjia to sell him a little bit of face, and don't make too much noise in this area in the near future! ”
After Yu Xiaotian heard Li Yi's words, he quickly retracted his thoughts, and after a sigh, he quickly shook his head and said, "Of course, of course!" Hehe! I just remembered one thing, my mind wandered! I'm sorry! Shopkeeper Li's words are very reasonable, please rest assured, as long as others don't come to me for trouble in the near future, I won't make too much trouble easily! And I'm busy with business at hand, so I will also restrain the brothers below and try not to make too much trouble! ”
Li Yi was relieved after hearing this, after all, he knew more about the official affairs in Fujian, and now Yu Xiaotian made such a big fuss, he was already on the cusp, and Nan Juyi had just arrived, and he was also going all out to deal with the affairs of the red-haired people, as Yu Xiaotian's collaborator, his interests would be tightly tied to Yu Xiaotian in the future, so at this time, he didn't want Yu Xiaotian to make too much trouble and incur a blow from the government.
And Yu Xiaotian now said that he would not make too much trouble at this time, which was in line with his interests, so he was much more relieved.
The two sat at the table and chatted for a long time, Yu Xiaotian took advantage of this opportunity to inquire a lot about land from Li Yi, and learned that the rebellion in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan had not been completely quelled, and even the new governor of Guizhou, Wang Sanshan, died at the hands of the rebels.
At the beginning of the year, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Nanzhili were hit by a major earthquake, and more than ten state capitals were affected, resulting in the displacement of many refugees.
In short, three years after the Apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty has not been stable, and even there has been a big earthquake in the Gyeonggi area, which is slightly lighter than the earthquake in Nanzhili, and Li Yi is not very clear about the specific situation, but there is now news in the Beijing Division, the emperor's new favorite eunuch Wei Zhongxian, has become more and more powerful recently, and many officials have to look at his face to act.
After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian smiled and said: "This Wei Zhongxian has not yet reached the most powerful time, and you will know how powerful he is in the future!" Yu Mou wants to give Shopkeeper Li a reminder, in the future, don't easily mention this Wei Zhongxian outside, let alone say bad things about him, otherwise you will be burned if you are not careful! ”
Li Yi can't figure out why Yu Xiaotian knows so much about the affairs of the Jingshi, judging from his previous judgment that Nan Juyi is going to take over as the governor of Fujian, Li Yi has always suspected that Yu Xiaotian may secretly have something to do with the people in the Jingshi, and now that Yu Xiaotian said this, he is not surprised by anything, and feels that Yu Xiaotian's words should be credible, so he quickly nodded yes, and added a little vigilance in his heart.
Yu Xiaotian actually so far, he doesn't care a lot about the situation of the Ming Dynasty, because he knows the direction of history very well, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is a complete faint monarch, and he doesn't know how to govern the country at all.
He was just a small pirate head at the moment, although he saw the giant car of Da Ming sliding towards destruction with strong inertia, but he had no way to hold this rotten giant car, and could only sit back and watch him continue to maintain a huge inertia and rush forward.
And the only thing he can do is to strengthen himself as much as possible before this giant car falls into the abyss, if possible, he hopes that he at least has the ability to protect himself, in short, let him shave his head in the future, he will not do it, the bastards that the Manchu Tartars do, he is not interested in being a slave to these bastards.
So at the moment, his top priority is to ignore the things outside the window, and he is thinking about strengthening himself first, and now he occupies Nanri Island, and his strength has increased greatly, but looking at the entire southern coastal area, his strength is nothing for the time being, and there are more than his strong counterparts in the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangzhou, and if he is not careful, he may be beaten back to his original form.
In the past, he was incapable, but now he can do some things, doing pirates, in fact, is not only at sea to fight and kill, the real pirates in this era are actually some maritime merchants, who do both piracy and business.
Yu Xiaotian has long had a clear understanding of this point, and now it is finally time for him to put it into action.
So Yu Xiaotian and Li Yi discussed, and the two partnered to open a shop in Fuzhou in the name of the Li family, specializing in selling some special products from the Nanyang area, and at the same time, through this business, some special products on land were transferred to Manila or Da Ni and other places for sale in the future.
The reason why Li Yi was chosen as a partner, Yu Xiaotian was also helpless, his identity is now a pirate, he killed Jiang Baihu in Funing Prefecture, which made him a wanted criminal of the Ming Dynasty, so he should not show his head on land, and at the moment he has no suitable personnel under his hands to come forward for him and open a business on land, and the most suitable person is only Zhao Mazi.
But after Zhao Mazi went to Guangzhou, there is still no news, and I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, Yu Xiaotian has already planned to arrange someone to go to Guangzhou to check Zhao Mazi's whereabouts.
What he lacks most now is his more knowledgeable subordinates to support this façade and take care of his business for him, so he can only borrow a boat to go to sea and cooperate with Li Yi for the time being, so as to do this business first, and then talk about it, and after cultivating or recruiting some suitable people through this business in the future, it is not too late for him to seek to do these transactions on his own.
For Yu Xiaotian's idea of cooperation, Li Yi suddenly hesitated, because his Li family also does this kind of business, although in Fujian, there are still many businessmen like him, and his financial resources are not very strong, but after all, he alone has the final say, once he cooperates with Yu Xiaotian, then in the future, his business will have to let Yu Xiaotian interfere, and the degree of freedom is naturally not as big as before.
So as soon as Yu Xiaotian put forward this idea, Li Yi became a little hesitant.
"Is Shopkeeper Li reluctant to partner with Zai Xia to do this business?" Yu Xiaotian looked at Li Yi with a smile and asked.
Li Yi hurriedly shook his head in embarrassment and said, "How dare you!" It is an honor for the family to be willing to partner with him! But there are also difficulties below! After all, he has taken care of a lot of business for the time being, and if he and Yu Dangjia partner to open such a business, I am afraid it will be difficult for Li to spare enough energy to manage this business! So ......" said this, Li Yi stopped talking.
Yu Xiaotian immediately understood Li Yi's thoughts, so he smiled and said, "That's what I said!" Since this is the case, then Yu Mou will not force the shopkeeper Li to do so! This matter can be put aside for the time being, and it is not too late to talk about it later when you have the opportunity!
Shopkeeper Li can come here today, Yu is really grateful to shopkeeper Li, come on, let's have a drink! I have limited conditions here at the moment, and the hospitality is not good, and I hope that Shopkeeper Li will not mind......"
