Although Yu Xiaotian had already shown his strong ability in land warfare and mountain warfare in the battle against Blackbeard in Yong'an County, but now when they saw Yu Xiaotian's subordinates being so fierce and able to achieve so many feats in various places on land, it really made them a little dumbfounded.

Looking at the other veteran Fujian officers and generals, compared with Yu Xiaotian and his soldiers, it is simply impossible to watch.

Yu Xiaotian and his subordinates have frequent good news, while those veteran Fujian officials and generals have been defeated one after another, and even if the two sides do not compare, they will make judgments.

After the news spread, after the veteran generals in Fujian learned about it, they were a little ashamed and ashamed, they were both admired and jealous, and they were full of helplessness.

Thinking about it, they used to say unashamedly that one day they would have a good competition with Yu Xiaotian, but the current situation is equivalent to Yu Xiaotian slapping them a few big mouths, and they have nothing to say.

In this way, with so many of Yu Xiaotian's merits at the bottom, Xiong Wencan is inclined to Xiaotian in terms of military spending and materials and equipment, so he is naturally much more confident, who makes Yu Xiaotian too capable? If there is a good thing, it is natural to give it to a capable person first, and this kind of inclination, even the people who command the envoy feel that there is no fart to put out.

Xiong Wencan received such a favor from Yu Xiaotian, of course, he also reciprocated the favor, and tried his best to mobilize some food and silver money, and allocated it to Yu Xiaotian, to make up for some of Yu Xiaotian's expenses, although these money and food, for the recent expenditure of the sea wolf, can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket, but after all, it represents Xiong Wencan's attitude.

Yu Xiaotian thanked Xiong Wencan many times for this, and secretly returned part of the silver in the money and grain allocated to him by Xiong Wencan, filling Xiong Wencan's private pocket, which made Xiong Wencan even more happy and secretly smiled.

Although Chongzhen did not promote Xiong Wencan or Yu Xiaotian again because of this, he still left a very good impression on Xiong Wencan, and felt that Xiong Wencan was really a capable person, compared to those governors and governors of other provinces, it was much more reliable, and he really solved problems for him, the emperor.

So this time the chaos caused by the drought in Fujian, not only did not bring any negative impact to Xiong Wencan, but made Xiong Wencan finally gain fame and fortune, on the one hand, in today's Holy Emperor Chongzhen, he got the impression of a capable official, on the other hand, he also earned a lot of silver, Xiong Wencan is certainly not a fool, he knows very well that he can do this, who brought it to him, so far he completely regarded Yu Xiaotian as his henchman and right-hand man.

With a flick of his fingers, three years slipped through his fingers like a white horse in the blink of an eye, and the time came to the fourth year of Chongzhen.

In the past two years, Yu Xiaotian led his troops under the command of Xiong Wencan to fight in the south and north of Fujian, and successively exterminated more than ten bandits entrenched in various provinces in Fujian, and also exterminated more than ten pirates who rashly broke into the coastal areas of Fujian to make trouble.

Moreover, Yu Xiaotian was finally promoted to the chief military officer of Fujian because of his merits, and became the first general in Fujian under the dignified Xie Longyi, of course, Xie Longyi is just a little older, if you talk about military merits, it is far less powerful than Yu Xiaotian.

Although Yu Xiaotian is nominally among the generals in Fujian, his status is lower than that of Xie Longyi, but both sides are commanders-in-chief, and Yu Xiaotian actually controls a lot more troops than Xie Longyi.

In the past two years, Xie Longyi has also led troops to fight, but there are few victories, although he has not been convicted for this, but his psychology has still suffered a lot of blows, and at the beginning of the fourth year of Chongzhen, he basically didn't take care of things much, and he no longer led the army in person, and most of the wars in Fujian were basically handed over to Yu Xiaotian to be responsible.

Yu Xiaotian did give Xiong Wencan a face, so that Xiong Wencan's political achievements in Fujian in the past few years have been remarkable, even among the governor-level officials of the entire Ming Dynasty, his political achievements are definitely in the forefront, and he is quite valued by Chongzhen.

Although Xiong Wencan and Yu Xiaotian have really offended many people in Fujian over the years, and have been impeached by colleagues or the so-called Qingliu many times, Xiong Wencan has taken care of Fujian's affairs very well, although he has been criticized, but his status in Fujian has always remained unchanged, just because Chongzhen has a good eye for him, which makes his position very stable.

Of course, Xiong Wencan also knows how he got this, if it weren't for Yu Xiaotian's always looking at him as a horse, doing things effectively, and solving a lot of tricky troubles for him, otherwise he wouldn't have been doing things smoothly in Fujian in the past few years.

Even Yu Xiaotian did not do any less black work for him, and secretly sent people to kill several political enemies for him unconsciously, and he did not leak a drop of water, leaving no tail at all, which also made Xiong Wencan's status in Fujian skyrocketing, and when Chongzhen was four years old, few people dared to sing against Xiong Wencan.

Xiong Wencan is also quite good for Xiaotian, cast a peach, repay it with a li, and give Yu Xiaotian a convenient move everywhere, every year Fujian's military resources and salaries are basically inclined to Yu Xiaotian, even if he doesn't dare to say that Yu Xiaotian responds to his needs, at least basically as long as he can do it, Yu Xiaotian's benefits are indispensable.

Yu Xiaotian completely controlled the various ports along the coast of Fujian, and operated the entire Weitou Bay into the first commercial port in the Ming Dynasty, almost all the merchant ships in Fujian, as long as they want to go to sea to do business, they all set off in Weitou Bay.

These merchant ships, as long as they are not ships directly under the sea wolf, each ship has to pay a lot of money to the sea wolf every year according to the size of the ship, in order to obtain the passage flag issued by the sea wolf, otherwise they will not be able to move an inch in the Fujian sea, and they will not be able to trade at sea.

With this income alone, Seawolf Group earns millions of dollars a year, not including Seawolf's own merchant fleet and Seawolf's own businesses.

Over the past two years, the business of the sea wolf can be said to be all over Fujian and even all over the two Guangzhou, in Fujian and even in every township, almost all kinds of business branches opened by the sea wolf, all kinds of business as long as it is touched by the sea trade, the sea wolf is involved, almost the entire sea trade business, are controlled in the hands of the sea wolf.

In particular, the entire raw silk export trade in Fujian is completely monopolized by the seawolf, if the seawolf group does not want some people to get a little raw silk, almost this person does not even want to get a piece of raw silk from Fujian.

The raw silk itself is the most sought-after goods in the sea trade, the sea wolf planted mulberry fields in large quantities in the interior of Fujian, and let the farmers raise silkworms in large quantities, forming a large-scale mulberry silkworm breeding, and the sea wolf opened nest silk factories in various parts of Fujian to buy silkworm cocoons and reeling silk from the common people.

Seawolf's silk reeling factory has learned from all over the world, and constantly improved the silk reeling process, so that the quality of raw silk made by Seawolf's various silk reeling factories has been greatly improved compared with the past, and the price is naturally much higher than before.

In the last years of the Apocalypse, the sea merchants sold raw silk to the Dutch and the Spaniards, and under normal circumstances, the highest price was 1321 stones, but by the fourth year of Chongzhen, the price of raw silk exported by the sea wolf, the price of raw silk of one stone and first grade, almost reached 200 taels of silver, and even the price of second-class and third-class raw silk exceeded 130 taels.

In the past, Fujian Province, all year round, could only receive at most 200 stone of raw silk, most of which had to be purchased from Zhejiang, but by the time of Chongzhen's fourth year, the annual production of silk in Fujian had reached about 800 stone, and the output was gradually increasing significantly.

And planting mulberry fields, does not occupy the original fertile land, mulberry trees are mostly planted on the hillside, ordinary people in general, in addition to the original planting farmland, can also raise silkworms, more income.

Yu Xiaotian strictly asked his subordinates to treat these silkworm farmers, not too much, in addition to setting a higher purchase price, often silkworm farmers have insufficient funds, to borrow some silver turnover, the sea wolf gave the loan, the interest is much lower than the loan interest given by some rich people before.

For this reason, Yu Xiaotian robbed a lot of rich people to buy and sell, cut off the wealth of many rich people, and made some unscrupulous people who originally relied on this to make a fortune hate him.

When Chongzhen was three years old, there were even more than a dozen large households, secretly pooled money, and hired dozens of outlaws to act as killers, wanting the killers to secretly kill Yu Xiaotian, but unfortunately, these killers underestimated Yu Xiaotian's ability, and as soon as they wanted to do it, they were all wiped out by Yu Xiaotian's men, and under torture to extract confessions, they told the truth and sold their employers to Yu Xiaotian.

For this kind of person, Yu Xiaotian was of course not polite, and handed over these captured killers to the government, Xiong Wencan was furious when he heard this, and ordered a strict investigation and strict handling, as a result, more than a dozen big families who pooled money to hire murderers were all arrested, the principal was executed by Ling Chi, and the rest were all beheaded by the family, and their families were used as slaves.

In this way, although some rich people hate Xiaotian to the core, they are helpless, and they don't dare to do anything crooked.

Of course, raw silk is only a commodity controlled by Seawolf, and other commodities such as tea, lacquerware, dyes, silk, porcelain and other commodities that are more popular to the outside world are naturally also involved in Seawolf, and even established its own large-scale workshop to produce in large quantities, replacing the previous way of ordering only from other workshops.

There are several advantages to this, one is that the cost is greatly reduced, but the quality is self-controlled, and the third is that the product style can be adjusted at any time, and the product style can be produced according to its preference, so that it is more profitable.
