As for the fact that some people swore that they had seen the two large plywood ships they had captured on Nanri Island, this matter can also be discussed, could it be that the sea wolf paid for the broken ship of the Tessie? Fabricate such a story to show off their strength.

There is another point, they think it doesn't make sense, they have only heard that the Gan Wax people occupy Greater Luzon and build a Manila city there, over the years, the Gan Wax people have not been like the red-haired people, often raiding the coast of Fujian and Guangdong, many maritime merchants often go to Manila City to do business, the dry Wax people are full of food, and there is no trouble to run to Taiyuan Island to fight with the sea wolf! This matter is a bit unreasonable, the good Gan Wax Man is not staying in his Greater Luzon, and there is no reason to run to Taiyuan Island.

As soon as it was said, the battle between this sea wolf and the Gan Wax people on Taiyuan Island became a non-existent thing, and it was not possible that the sea wolf made it up to bluff people.

And this statement was immediately supported by many people, because in their subconscious, with the combat power of pirates, it is impossible to win the fleet of the Taixi people, and the tall ships of the Taixi people are a symbol of invincibility in the minds of these people.

And among the rumors, some people say that the Taisi people have one or twenty large plywood boats, which is even more impossible, even if the sea wolf is pouring out of the nest, how many ships are there, how can it beat others? The most important thing is that they think that the Dry Wax People have no reason to fight with the sea wolf, and they have no overlapping interests on Taiyuan Island.

Even if the sea wolf occupies a piece of land on Taiyuan Island, immigrants farm, and the Taixi people put Daming on such a long coast, isn't the rich place much stronger than the land occupied by the sea wolf, even if they want to rob it, there is no reason to run to Taiyuan Island to grab the territory of the sea wolf!

In addition, according to the rumors, even if the fleet of the Dry Wax people really can't beat the fleet of the sea wolves, with their strong ships and guns, can they still run if they can't run? It's a big deal to leave, and the whole army will not be beaten by the sea wolf, and this matter is analyzed by them like this, and few people really believe it anymore.

Immediately, Tian Youren determined the nature of this matter, thinking that this matter must have been made up by the sea wolf himself, even if there was such a thing, then the fleet of the Taixi people may not be as many as rumored, maybe there were one or two ships, passing through Taiyuan Island, and accidentally ran into the fleet of sea wolves, and the sea wolves wanted to take the opportunity to rob them, and there was a conflict, and the dry silk people suffered a loss.

But afterwards, it was deliberately publicized by the sea wolf with ulterior motives, and deliberately exaggerated the strength of the Dry Wax fleet, wanting to show off their so-called force.

Of course, it can't be said that the sea wolf is vulnerable, because after all, the sea wolf defeated Chu Cailao last year, and then shelled the Puxi Institute, burned the Nanri Water Village, and the sea from Quanzhou to the south of Zhejiang, basically all of them were controlled, and other pirates did not dare to get involved easily, and the sea wolves that can be seen are indeed quite powerful.

These staff members discussed for a few days in a row, and tried to collect a lot of information about the sea wolf and Zheng Yiguan, and weighed this matter, but after discussion, in the end, these staff members gradually agreed that they would not go to Zheng Yiguan for the time being.

The main reason is that Zheng Yiguan and his subordinates have no fixed place at the moment, even if they send troops to suppress them, I am afraid it will not be easy to find him, relatively speaking, the sea wolf is entrenched in Nanri Island, and it is easier to find it.

But at the same time, they also believe that the sea wolves are not easy to deal with, and this attack on Nanri Island must use a large number of troops and mobilize enough warships to achieve victory.

At the same time, before the war, they had to blockade Nanri Island, forbidding the sea wolves from doing business on land, and forbidding merchants to trade with the sea wolves again, so that the sea wolves could obtain food, iron and other materials on land, and first cut off the economic resources they relied on for their livelihood.

As soon as this matter was confirmed, Tian Youren and his staff provided Zhu Yifeng with a plan, which was divided into two steps, the first step was to first seize the Maoshengyuan firm that was close to the sea wolf.

The reason is very simple, although Mao Shengyuan never said that they are the charge d'affaires of the sea wolf on land, it is the business of the sea wolf, and it is only the business of Fujian businessman Li Yi in name, but in fact, everyone knows that Mao Shengyuan is just wearing a skin of the Li family, and it is actually the business of the sea wolf on land.

It's very simple to understand this, now Mao Shengyuan sells a large number of glass, soap, deerskin, Jiao oil and other things on land, these things are basically from the hands of the sea wolf, there is no impermeable wall in this world, a large number of glass products of good quality gushing out of the land, and the kind of soap that can be used for bathing, and exudes fragrance, now everyone knows that it is from the hand of the sea wolf.

So far, the wholesale of these goods is only operated by Maoshengyuan, and if you want these things, you have to go to Maoshengyuan wholesale, and Maoshengyuan is also engaged in retail, firmly controlling the source of goods.

At the same time, Maoshengyuan also produces a variety of goods, these goods at a glance know that the road is stolen, should be pirates at sea to rob things, in addition to Maoshengyuan in the past year or so, but also a large number of sales of deer antlers, deer skins and other things, in the past in the south of these things are not much, the main source of goods also from Liaodong, but now there are a lot of goods from Taiyuan Island.

And the sea wolf happens to occupy a place on Taiyuan Island, and these things can be easily obtained, of course, Yan Siqi will also ship some goods, but it does not ship as much as Maoshengyuan, so a discerning person will know that Maoshengyuan is actually the business name of the sea wolf on land.

In addition to selling these goods, Maoshengyuan also purchases basic daily necessities such as raw wrought iron, timber, grain, and cloth in large quantities, and the purchase volume is very large. Only the sea wolves will need so many things, because in the past two years, they have also purchased a large number of people on land and recruited immigrants to Nanri Island and Taiyuan Island to farm in a place called Tamsui City.

Therefore, these staff members believe that if they want to deal with the sea wolves, they must first cut off their financial resources and ways to obtain resources, that is, they must first seize Mao Shengyuan and arrest Li Yi, who is in the Fuzhou headquarters.

Zhu Yifeng obviously followed the advice of these staff, and immediately sent people to greet the local government offices, and ordered the local government to seize the Maoshengyuan branch opened there by them.

In July, a storm quietly began to blow on the land of Fujian.

But the worst thing that the Ming government did in this era was that they didn't know what secrecy was at all, although this time Zhu Yifeng learned the lesson that Zhu Qinxiang wanted to attack the sea wolf with great fanfare, so that the staff must be tight-lipped and not publicize this matter in advance.

But among He Nai's staff, including some servants and servants in his governor's yamen, these people don't care about his Zhu Yifeng's orders, as long as they are willing to spend money, it is very simple to find out what is going on in the governor's yamen from their mouths.

And during this period of time in the governor's yamen, it was also one of the places that the sea wolf paid the most attention to, there was a flourishing source in the open, and there was another line arranged by the torture hall in the secret, all of which were paying close attention to Zhu Yifeng's movements.

After Zhu Yifeng came to power, he overhauled war equipment, built warships, rectified military affairs, and raised funds, all of which showed that Zhu Yifeng wanted to do a big thing, and the most likely thing was to prepare for the sea wolf.

Therefore, the sea wolf has not attacked the coastal land on a large scale for more than half a year, but it has been staring at Zhu Yifeng's movements.

So here, Zhu Yifeng had just arranged for Tian Youren to convene his staff to discuss whether to deal with the sea wolf or Zheng Yiguan first, and Li Yi and the sea wolf torture hall were on land that night, and they immediately learned the news.

That night, Zhu Yifeng's two staff members, as well as several officials and servants of the inner government, received a large sum of silver, and when two days later, the staff put forward a plan and suggested that Mao Shengyuan and Li Yi should be attacked, Li Yi and the secret line of the torture hall immediately learned the news.

Just when Tian Youren and the others had just submitted their plan to Zhu Yifeng, all the Maoshengyuan began to get busy, and all kinds of materials stored in the warehouse immediately began to be loaded and shipped to Nanri Island, and some of the goods to be sold on land immediately began to urge the orderer to pick up the goods, and the goods that were not immediately able to be picked up were immediately dispersed to the hands of the gentry and peer firms who usually dealt with Maoshengyuan and established a good cooperative relationship.

In just two days, the goods in the branch and general warehouses of Maoshengyuan were basically cleared and became empty.

In addition, there is still money to be collected, Maoshengyuan immediately began to collect, and the payment that cannot be recovered in a short period of time will be put down for the time being.

Of course, the movements of the governor's yamen could not hide from many businessmen and some gentlemen who did big business, and they usually had a lot of transactions with Mao Shengyuan, and they owed each other money.

In the past two days, Li Yi also immediately began to liquidate with these commercial dealings, and wrote off a part of the accounts that could be written off between each other, and exchanged those that could not be written off between the firms, transferred debts and creditor's rights, and removed Mao Shengyuan from the triangular debts, so as to ensure that those business partners who dealt with them would not suffer losses because of Mao Shengyuan's seizure.

At this point, these businessmen and gentlemen who have business dealings with Mao Shengyuan admire the sea wolf very much, and feel that this sea wolf is indeed trustworthy in doing business, if it is replaced by another family, after hearing the news, they will definitely ignore the arrears, and directly scatter the girl and leave, so that the creditors can not find a place to collect debts.

However, Li Yi still tried his best to settle some of the arrears as much as possible, so as not to let these business partners who had a cooperative relationship with them suffer losses.

But even after offsetting some of the accounts, there still had to be a part of the accounts to be settled in cash, and after the counting, just to pay these arrears, they had to pay another fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver.

Yu Xiaotian also got the news at the first time, and immediately became angry and scolded this Zhu Yifeng for being a confused official!
