Moreover, the sea wolf also trained a group of gunners for Yan Siqi, so that they mastered the preliminary skills of using these artillery, and sent twenty gunners to Bengang to train gunners for Yan Siqi, so that Yan Siqi's force value increased a lot in a short period of time.

In February, Yan Siqi led a team to attack the Penghu Islands in person, looking for Zheng Yiguan to retaliate against him, and the two sides exchanged fire on the sea around the Penghu Islands.

Zheng Yiguan also knew that Yan Siqi had won the support of Yu Xiaotian, and he did not dare to underestimate the enemy too much, so he gathered a group of men and ships to prepare for war, and the two sides frequently exchanged fire in the waters around Penghu, and the fight was inextricable.

Originally, with Zheng Yiguan's strength, it was easy to defeat Yan Siqi, but after Yan Siqi gained the support of Yu Xiaotian, he was no longer as weak as before.

Judging from the losses, Zheng Yiguan did not have an advantage in firepower, but only had a certain advantage in terms of troops, and in the end he did not get a bargain, and his losses exceeded Yan Siqi.

But both sides have their own losses, Yan Siqi lost more than a dozen boats, Zheng Yiguan also lost more than 20 ships, no one can help anyone, and after a month, both sides are a little exhausted, and they have lost interest in continuing to fight, each of them collected troops and returned to their respective lairs, continued to accumulate strength, and prepared to fight again next time.

However, although Yan Siqi did not take much advantage, he gained a certain initiative in strategy, completely stabilized his subordinates, and made his subordinates regain their confidence, and they were no longer afraid of Zheng Yiguan as they were some time ago.

Moreover, Yan Siqi survived the existential crisis through Yu Xiaotian's support, and was not blocked by Zheng Yiguan in Bengang and could not move, and gained the strength to compete with Zheng Yiguan at sea, and he could continue to do his thing.

Yan Siqi, who had eaten the sweetness, vigorously expanded his strength, while trying to find ways to build ships everywhere, while trying his best to expand his troops, recruiting subordinates everywhere, and through relationships, he had a relationship with Xu Xinsu, a giant businessman in Quanzhou.

This information was sent back to Nanri Island from the sea wolf artillery instructors and meticulous workers in Bengang, so that the sea wolf knew Yan Siqi's situation very clearly, and he didn't dare to say what Yan Siqi ate, which woman he slept with, at least what he was going to do, and the sea wolf could probably find out.

And after Yu Xiaotian helped Yan Siqi so much this time, Yan Siqi's subordinates' attitude towards the sea wolf has also changed a lot, first, they are grateful to Yu Xiaotian for helping them in their crisis, and second, they also feel the power of the sea wolf, with their strength, they can't be enemies with the sea wolf at all, otherwise the sea wolf can pinch them to death at any time like pinching them to death.

Since you can't be an enemy with it, then you can only be a friend with it, these Yan Siqi's subordinates, most of them, have shown a lot of enthusiasm for the sea wolf, so in them, if they want to inquire about something, they almost don't have to make any effort, ask casually, and someone will tell the sea wolf's subordinates in detail.

Moreover, the life of the sea wolf's artillery instructor over there was also very favorable, and Yan Siqi arranged for someone to take care of their lives, providing them with good food and drink, and meeting all their normal needs.

And after these sea wolf artillery instructors arrived there, they did not eat in vain, but they were also very dedicated, helping them to check all their guns, eliminate some of the unusable broken guns, and classify and clean up all kinds of miscellaneous guns equipped with them, and re-test the performance and safety of these guns.

These guns were readjusted, the firepower of Yan Siqi's warships was as perfect as possible, and the gun mounts of some of the guns they used were also appropriately modified.

The equipment of the pirates in this era is very simple, although Yan Siqi can be regarded as coming over with strong winds and waves, the equipment level is much better than that of a small group of pirates, but this is also a matter of comparing with whom, many of the artillery they have are so simple that they don't even have a gun carriage, a broken iron pipe, tied directly to the side of the ship with a rope and iron nails, there is no range that can be adjusted up and down, left and right, and can only rely on the ship to turn to aim at the enemy ship.

Therefore, the sea wolf tribes, who were really invisible, helped them to transform these broken cannons that were still usable to a certain extent, at least found some carpenters, and made some gun carriages for these rags, so that they had the least operability.

There is a big difference between the Chinese ancient cannon and the Western-style artillery, that is, the old Chinese-style artillery has not been cast with a cannon lug before, but it is simply fixed on the gun carriage, and the firing range is adjusted by adjusting the height and pitch of the gun carriage, which is very difficult to operate, while the Western-style artillery creatively casts the cannon lug on the gun barrel, and the gun lug is in the center of gravity position of the gun barrel, which can be easily adjusted by adjusting the height of the gun tail to adjust the elevation angle of the gun muzzle, which is a creation of artillery technology, which makes the artillery operation much simpler.

However, among Yan Siqi's artillery, many of them belong to the old ancient cannons, and they don't even have cannon ears, so they can only be simply fixed on the gun carriage to give them a certain degree of activity and convenient to load, but fortunately, the range of these rags is very limited, and the requirements are not high.

These artillery instructors taught Yan Siqi's subordinates how to aim, and formulated some rules to regulate the behavior of artillery operators, and they were not allowed to mess around like before.

At least in wartime, they were never allowed to pile gunpowder on the deck at will, which was convenient for them to use, and at the same time, it also caused huge hidden dangers, sometimes a rocket could detonate a ship, causing unnecessary losses.

In addition, when operating the artillery, non-relevant personnel are not allowed to approach the artillery, let alone use open flames to get close to the artillery, which will cause accidental losses in the province, and even if it is hit by the artillery when it is recoiling, it can also kill people.

In addition, the artillery instructor repeatedly stressed that no one should foam at will before receiving the order to open fire, or before the enemy ship and enemy entered their effective firing range, and the pirates and even the current officers and soldiers are very casual in the use of artillery, and often just see the enemy, regardless of whether their artillery can be hit or not, just fire together, and the result is that the two sides often start firing at each other at a great distance.

This kind of firing is more tantamount to setting off a firecracker and listening to the sound, and it will not pose any threat to the enemy at all; on the contrary, by the time the two sides enter the distance of the exchange of fire, a lot of artillery will already be overheated, and on the contrary, it will not be able to continue firing artillery, causing serious delays to the fighters.

Yan Siqi also saw that these sea wolf tribesmen had indeed taught his subordinates a lot of useful things, and he was even more grateful to Xiaotian, and made up his mind to hug Xiaotian's brother's thigh in the future.

In the following period, Yan Siqi ordered another batch of six-pounder guns from the sea wolf, and it happened that the sea wolf was now replacing the six-pounder cannon with a twelve-pounder cannon, so he sold them another twenty guns, which made Yan Siqi happy.

When fighting with Zheng Yiguan, he had already discovered that this kind of sea wolf's six-pounder cannon was quite powerful, it hit far and accurately, and it was very powerful, and it hit very hard, like a super big awl, poking a hole in the enemy ship, and Zheng Yiguan's subordinates stared dryly.

So he made up his mind that he would not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy more of these cannons to equip his ships, and when he had saved up enough strength, why would he go to Zheng Yiguan again to settle accounts, he really couldn't swallow this breath.

A boss was betrayed by his subordinates, and he almost overturned him, making him embarrassed, this kind of thing can't be tolerated by anyone, and this time he has to find a way to get it back.

So Yan Siqi and Zheng Yiguan fell into a fight, and with Yan Siqi's constant trouble with Zheng Yiguan, Zheng Yiguan did not dare to easily find trouble with the sea wolf, so he could only compete with Chu Cailao and Yan Siqi on the sea in the area of Zhangquan.

At the beginning of March, Zheng Yiguan gathered thousands of his men and more than 100 ships, and attacked and harassed the coast of Quanzhou, tied up a lot of meat tickets, and destroyed dozens of coastal villages.

This time Zheng Yiguan's actions angered Chu Cailao, although Chu Cailao was defeated in the hands of Yu Xiaotian, and was forced to withdraw from the coastal area of Quanzhou in desperation, but he always refused to give up the territory outside Zhangzhou Mansion.

Haicheng's Moon Port, but in this era of the Ming Dynasty is the only officially approved sea port, because of this, merchants from all over the mainland since Longqing opened the sea, they gathered in the Moon Port, do all kinds of sea trade, so that in fact, the geographical environment is not very good Moon Port, these decades, has been the most lively port along the coast of China.

This also made Yuegang a big fat piece in the eyes of all pirates, who often came here to harass and rob passing merchant ships off the coast of Zhangzhou Prefecture.

In recent years, this piece of land has become Chu Cailao's territory, and Chu Cailao has always regarded it as a forbidden place, using the Haicheng estuary as his ATM, and not allowing others to come here to rob.

This time, Zheng Yiguan ran here, robbed a lot, and even almost landed to Haicheng, which made Chu Cailao unbearable.

Chu Cailao originally discovered that Zheng Yiguan's gang began to mess around on his territory last year, and the two sides have had many skirmishes, and Chu Cailao also heard that Zheng Yiguan took Li Dan's plate through various channels, and his strength suddenly grew a lot, and he faintly wanted to expel him from Fujian.

This time, Zheng Yiguan took so many people and ships and ran to Zhangzhou to do such a vote, this time Chu Cailao quit, immediately gathered his subordinates, and ran to the sea of Zhangzhou, to meet with Zheng Yiguan, so that Zheng Yiguan also knows the Tao and knows the Tao, and he Chu Cailao is not yet to the extent that anyone can provoke.

But Chu Cailao's movements were a little slower, and when he led people to the sea of Zhangzhou Mansion, Zheng Yiguan had already withdrawn from Zhangzhou Mansion with most of his subordinates, and only blocked a few of Zheng Yiguan's subordinate ships.

When Chu Cailao saw these Zheng Yiguan's subordinates, he was angry, and immediately killed several Zheng Yiguan's boats and killed one of Zheng Yiguan's subordinates.
