Chapter 177: Suspicious

Li Yi saw Yu Xiaotian's unfathomable look, and he didn't say how he learned the news, so it was no longer convenient to ask more, so he could only secretly speculate that Yu Xiaotian must have other ways, who told Yu Xiaotian about this, he couldn't guess, and at the same time, he was a little skeptical about Xiaotian's words.

After all, the matter of changing the governor of Fujian, although there are people in the market at present, but the news is very chaotic, for guessing who will be the successor, so far there is no exact statement, there are several people are among the alternatives, and Nan Juyi Although some people have also mentioned it, but it is not the most vocal, in the end, who will the court send to replace Shang Zhouzuo in the next step, even if it is a person with smart news in the government, I am not sure.

This kind of thing has always been very concerned about a businessman like him who has to deal with officials all the year round, but so far, he has not been able to get any reliable information about who will be the next governor of Fujian, but Yu Xiaotian today concluded that it will be Nan Juyi who will replace Shang Zhouzuo as the governor of Fujian in the future, how can he know so many things about him, a pirate leader who has lived at sea for a long time?

If Yu Xiao was innocent of knowing the Dao, unless he still had a way in the capital at this time, someone secretly provided him with this kind of news.

But thinking about Yu Xiaotian's identity and his background, Li Yi killed him and didn't believe that Yu Xiaotian could have such a way, today Yu Xiaotian pretended to be profound and said that Nan Juyi would become Shang Zhouzuo's successor, Li Yi privately thought that this was probably Yu Xiaotian opening his mouth and wanted to pretend that he knew a lot about the situation on land in front of him!

So Li Yi laughed at this and didn't ask anything more, and when the news came out, he would be able to know if Yu Xiaotian was talking nonsense!

Then Yu Xiaotian and Li Yi chatted about some things about the current court, Li Yi told Yu Xiaotian that he heard that the emperor in the court had recently begun to favor a big eunuch surnamed Wei, and let him and a eunuch surnamed Gu Bingqian enter the cabinet and participate in the court politics, and at the same time let this surnamed Wei be in charge of the East Factory.

Yu Xiaotian laughed after hearing this, Li Yi said this, his tone revealed his disdain for these eunuchs, and the Fujian Tiangao Emperor is far away, these businessmen don't know much about what is going on in the court at all, and others don't know how powerful Wei Zhongxian is right now, how can he Yu Xiaotian not understand the truth.

So he shook his head and said: "Shopkeeper Li, and listen to the next piece of advice, you can underestimate anyone in this world at the moment, but you must not underestimate this Wei Zhongxian Wei Changgong!" You'll know how powerful he is in the future! So believe it or not, from now on, before and after others, don't say a bad word about him!

If you have a way, you can have a good relationship with Jinyiwei or Dongchang people here in Fujian! You might as well find a way to spend some money to serve this Lord Wei, even if it's one of his cronies! In short, you will know in the future what my words today will do you well!

I will stop at the intersection of you and me, but please remember that shopkeeper Li, don't laugh at it! ”

After Li Yi heard this, he was even more suspicious, because Yu Xiaotian's words were very strange, as if he knew this Wei Zhongxian very well, and he also insisted that this person would definitely be a powerful person in the future, so this is really strange, could it be that Yu Xiaotian was really in the Jingshi, what other way could not be done, and he could know so many things that even he didn't know about Lu Dao?

Thinking of this, Li Yi unconsciously became a little nervous about Xiaotian, although he couldn't believe that Yu Xiaotian had a way in the Jingshi, but nothing in this world could be generalized, could it be that Yu Xiaotian was an outlier among pirates? Therefore, it is better to believe what it has than to believe that it is not!

If Yu Xiaotian has such a dark line, then he can't underestimate this person, the reason why he helped Yu Xiaotian in the past was to raise a pirate who could help him in this area and do some dirty work for him, but while he was helping Yu Xiaotian, he was also carefully restricting Yu Xiaotian's development.

Now Yu Xiaotian seems to show that he still has a dark line in the Jingshi, so in the future, he Li Yi can no longer restrict Xiaotian as before, on the contrary, he has to change his way of doing things, no matter what Yu Xiaotian needs, he must satisfy him as much as possible, otherwise, with his secret way, I can't tell when I will offend him, and when the time comes, the person from Jingshi will probably pinch him to death like pinching an ant!

Thinking of this, Li Yi didn't dare to ask anything more, and became more enthusiastic about Xiaotian, and even suddenly proposed that there were still a few cannons on his own ship, and he suddenly remembered that there were two cannons that could not be used for the time being, and they could be given to Yu Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian looked at Li Yi's changes, and was a little dumbfounded in his heart, his words just now really frightened this Li Yi, and made Li Yi suspicious a little, he didn't say anything, so he took the initiative to start showing favor to him, and when he turned back his prophecy, I am afraid that Li Yi would be even more scared at that time!

But that's okay, some things can't be thoroughly seen through, so that Li Yi, the owner of the nest, has more awe of him, which is actually a good thing, occasionally he can use his half-baked historical knowledge to scare and scare Li Yi, so that he doesn't dare to underestimate himself, which is also a good thing for him.

"So I want to thank Shopkeeper Li! Don't dare to send it! How can Yu be in vain, if the shopkeeper Li is willing to cut his love with these two cannons, Yu is not short of silver at the moment, just buy it from the shopkeeper Li, and Yu will never be reluctant to give the silver! If Shopkeeper Li doesn't want it, then Yu Mou must not want this cannon! Yu Xiaotian hugged his fists and thanked Li Yi.

Li Yi saw that Yu Xiaotian was resolute, and he couldn't be sure of Yu Xiaotian's depth for the time being, so he no longer insisted, nodded and agreed, and fired the price of two cannons for a total of two hundred taels of silver, and asked Yu Xiaotian to settle the settlement for Steward Li, and ten days later, he sent someone to send the two cannons from Lianjiang County to here and deliver them to Yu Xiaotian.

After a long time, Yu Xiaotian brought the topic to Mingjianglong, the reason why he wanted to ask Li Yi about Mingjianglong was not for nothing.

Li Yi's original home was in the Funing area, his business was all over Funing, Fuzhou and other places, and he also knew more about the situation in Funing, because he was engaged in sea trade, and he inevitably had to deal with the subordinates on the side of Mingjianglong, so he must have some understanding of the situation on both sides.

This time there was such a big conflict between the Shark Gang and the Mixed River Dragon, and these businessmen who were running on the sea must have also learned the news, and they will definitely try their best to inquire about some news to judge where they should go in the future, so Li Yi must also do this.

After listening to Yu Xiaotian's question, Li Yi didn't hide anything, and immediately nodded and replied: "It turns out that the purpose of Yu Shopkeeper's visit today is this!" You're asking the right question!

Yes, during this period of time, all of us are also paying attention to this matter, and the mixed river dragon stretched out his hand to the south, how can we sit idly by, so we have already begun to secretly inquire about the news.

In the battle of Nangantang, the Shark Gang was defeated, but I heard that the losses on the side of the mixed river dragon were not small, even greater than the Shark Gang, he lost at least five boats, and more than 100 of his men were killed, which is also the reason why he did not continue to expand to the south after he won the battle.

After passing the battle after the year, Chaojianglong seemed to feel that the Shark Gang was not something he could eat in one fell swoop, and if he pressed it too hard, it would make Zhang Hugou jump off the wall and come out to compete with him, in that case, he would not be able to take much advantage.

Therefore, they have been relatively peaceful recently, only active in Aojiang Estuary, Dinghai Bay, Huangqi Bay and other places, and occasionally haunt the area around Bajiao Island, and have not continued to move south.

And I heard that Mingjianglong was also slightly injured this time, and after the battle of Nangantang, he returned to Shuangfeng Island to recuperate, leaving his younger brother Chen Qian to sit in Nangantang.

But I heard that this Chen Gan's temperament is relatively weak, far less spicy than Chen Jiu, and he is a little timid and afraid, and his subordinates are not very convinced of him, and they can't suppress the people below.

Especially a few of his subordinates who came out with Chen Jiu didn't take Chen Gan seriously, and Mingjianglong was afraid that Chen Gan would not be able to suppress the formation here, so he transferred a few of his right-hand men back to Funing's side, so in a short period of time, it was unlikely that Mingjianglong's side would continue to press Zhang Hu's side step by step.

But recently, there has been a lot of news in the Shark Gang, Zhang Hu's subordinates have been very dissatisfied with him in the past two years, and now he is in trouble in the Shark Gang, if this continues, I am afraid that Zhang Hu's good life here will not last long.

Yu shopkeeper, I'm afraid you'll have to make plans again in the future! ”

After listening to Li Yi's words, Yu Xiaotian's heart was also relieved, judging from the news that Li Yi inquired, although Mingjianglong won a game, he didn't get much bargain, and he didn't dare to continue to go south, so what he was most worried about would not happen for the time being.

What he was most afraid of before was that the Mixed River Dragon would take advantage of this opportunity to continue to expand southward, so that although he would not bear the brunt of it, many of his peers on the Fuzhou side would probably also fall to the Mixed River Dragon's side.

However, for the time being, Chaojiang Long was temporarily satisfied with the status quo and had no idea of continuing to expand southward immediately, which bought him some time.

Next, Yu Xiaotian talked with Li Yi for a while, and learned more about the situation on the side of the mixed river dragon from Li Yi, in fact, the situation on the side of the mixed river dragon was similar to that of the shark gang.

A pirate group like them is not a well-organized group, but a relatively loose interest group, nominally the Mixed River Dragon is the boss, but in fact, the number of people and ships that the Mixed River Dragon can directly and completely control is not very large, and more of his subordinates are just attached to him, and they usually fight separately, and when necessary, the Mixed River Dragon can mobilize them to concentrate on action.

Therefore, such an organizational structure is destined to be also full of contradictions within them, and they want to concentrate all their strength, and if they have a big ticket, it is not easy for Mixed Jianglong to organize a large number of subordinates, which is probably also one of the reasons why Mixed Jianglong did not continue to expand southward after winning the Battle of Nangantang, it is likely that he has different opinions within him, which leads to his inability to gather cohesion and continue to expand the results of the battle.

In addition, Chaojianglong was also injured, and this battle was ostensibly won by him, but in fact, it was the result of both defeats, and no one was able to take advantage.

The Shark Gang lost face on their side, but the Mixed River Dragon side suffered relatively large losses, which caused the two sides to enter a state of balance again after that battle.

The next step is to see who recovers faster, and who is likely to have the advantage next.

In short, in a short period of time, he didn't have to worry too much about the matter of the Mixed River Dragon going south, and then he could go all out to deal with the trouble on the Shark Gang's side.
