Chapter 263: Tantou Town

Liu Laoliu's eyes flickered a few times, although he had already known that Yu Xiaotian's ambition was now much bigger than before, and it was not the first time that the idea of winning the Central Plains had been revealed, but every time he heard Yu Xiaotian reveal this kind of ambition, Liu Laoliu's heart was still beating wildly.

Because for a grass man like him, the emperor is undoubtedly almost the same as a god, and the gods are just ethereal things, but the emperor is really living in this world and is constantly passed on.

Now his son-in-law has the idea of competing for the world, once he succeeds one day, then won't he be the uncle of the country, and wouldn't Liu Wang become the uncle of the country? Thinking of this, Liu Laoliu's heart beat wildly, compared with Yu Xiaotian's guard, this emperor seems to be much more affordable!

But at present, he only dares to secretly think about this kind of thing, after all, Yu Xiaotian wants to win the Central Plains, it is not a matter of one sentence, Daming is too big, even if the sea wolf is strong now, in front of the behemoth-like Daming, it is like an ant.

Yu Xiaotian is right about this, Daming has not yet reached the point of collapse of the world's chaotic society, what Yu Xiaotian needs now is forbearance and waiting for opportunities.

During this period, instead of the sea wolf and the Ming Dynasty, it is better to lean against the big tree to take advantage of the shade, use the official resources as much as possible to strengthen the strength of the sea wolf, and wait until the opportunity arises one day, and then it is not too late to seek the world.

This is also the reason why Yu Xiaotian forced Xiong Wencan to take the initiative to recruit him this time, first making Xiong Wencan nervous and forced to a corner, so that he could squeeze the maximum oil and water.

So Yu Xiaotian immediately ordered someone to reply to Li Yi, and asked him to tell Xiong Wencan, saying that Yu Xiaotian was willing to caress him, and then the two sides could sit down and talk, and let Li Yi arrange it.

After Li Yi got the order, he immediately informed Qian Xiaocheng of the news, and Qian Xiaocheng informed Xiong Wencan of the matter.

Xiong Wencan when he got Yu Xiaotian's willingness to caress him, this heart was put back in his stomach, these days the emergency documents of the state capitals in the coastal areas of Fujian have been overwhelmingly flocking to the governor's yamen, making Xiong Wencan is anxious, not to mention pressing the gourd to float the scoop, now a gourd can't be pressed, and the scoop is popping up one after another.

Although Xiong Wencan already has some understanding of Xiaotian's strength, he didn't expect that the energy of this sea wolf is so great that it can be used in more than ten places at the same time.

But to launch a few provincial capitals, it is not the result that Xiong Wencan wants, once that happens, the imperial court will definitely feel that he is really incompetent as a governor, as long as he has this impression, he wants to continue to be promoted in the future, it will basically be no fun, even if the imperial court launches a few provincial capitals, it is impossible for him to preside over at that time, it is very likely that other officials will be sent here to sit here, and then he will have to listen to the orders of others, and the whole Fujian will probably be squeezed out of all financial resources.

He came to Fujian to be an official, he wanted to make a fortune, whether it was money or capital for officials, it was something he wanted to get, once several provincial capitals suppressed, he would not be able to make any fart at that time, and he would be impeached and incompetent.

Therefore, his current strategy is to find a way to recruit Yu Xiaotian and press this huge disaster along the coast of Fujian, so that he can not only obtain the title of a capable member, but also directly control a force that is used by him.

In the future, with the help of Yu Xiaotian's hand, he only needs to sweep away other forces along the coast of Fujian, and then wipe out a group of bandits, and the road to promotion will naturally be paved at that time.

This time, after learning that Yu Xiaotian had the idea of accepting Zhao'an, Xiong Wencan could be said to have breathed a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart, and secretly made up his mind that he would recruit Yu Xiaotian no matter what, even if he offered some high prices, he would not hesitate to do so.

So he immediately ordered Qian Xiaocheng to start operating from it, choose a location, and the two sides began to negotiate, preferably as soon as possible.

After many discussions between Qian Xiaocheng and Li Yi, they finally set up the negotiation site in a town called Tantou Town on the south bank of the Minjiang River estuary, which is located in the area of the Minjiang River estuary, and is located on land, with few officers and troops stationed, and the back to the Minjiang River estuary, which is acceptable to both sides.

As for the personnel carried by the two sides, in the end, after several consultations, the government dispatched 2,000 Fubiao officers and troops to Tantou Town to garrison and be responsible for protecting the officials, while Yu Xiaotian could bring no more than 500 troops to protect Yu Xiaotian's safety.

Although the difference in strength between the two sides is several times, Li Yi did not dwell on this aspect, because Li Yi knows very well the strength of the Sea Wolf infantry, and if he lands this time, Yu Xiaotian will definitely bring the most elite infantry, and may even use a special combat team, so on the surface, the officers and soldiers are several times more than them, but if they can't get along, and the official wants to play yin, then with only 500 infantry, plus a small number of special combat teams, there is no problem in killing these 2,000 Fubiao officers and soldiers.

What's more, the sea wolf has a large fleet at the mouth of the Min River as Yu Xiaotian's backing, as long as the two thousand officers and soldiers can't eat Yu Xiaotian in one bite, then in a short time, a large number of sailors can land and rush to Tantou Town, and the officers and soldiers will definitely not be able to eat and walk around at that time.

Therefore, with such an arrangement, Li Yi is not worried that the officials and soldiers dare to make any small moves.

When Nan Juyi was an official in Fujian, he used this method to deal with the Dutch, he had people induce the Dutch to go ashore to negotiate, and suddenly used poisoning to control these Dutch negotiators, and then controlled them in a plywood boat, using these captives as hostages, and finally forced the Dutch to retreat.

Therefore, for the official, it must not be easily trusted, even if the sea wolf is now powerful, he does not dare to be sloppy.

After negotiating these matters, Li Yi sent the news back to Tamsui City, and Yu Xiaotian immediately took Lin Yiyang and a group of other subordinates, boarded a ship in Tamsui City, and headed towards the mouth of the Min River.

Just after the two sides negotiated, Xiong Wencan's side had some problems, and some staff tried their best to dissuade Xiong Wencan from going to Tantou Town to meet Yu Xiaotian in person, because Yu Xiaotian was a thief, and Xiong Wencan was a member of the Fujian side of the Ming Dynasty.

As Xiong Wencan, he deigned to go to Tantou Town to negotiate with Yu Xiaotian in person, which was too much to promote Yu Xiaotian, even if the negotiation was successful in the future, Yu Xiaotian accepted Zhao'an, and he had no intention of fueling Yu Xiaotian's arrogance.

Therefore, these staff members think that Xiong Wencan does not need to go to Tantou Town to meet Yu Xiaotian in person, in case someone makes a fuss about it and stabs Xiong Wencan in the back.

Xiong Wencan also began to hesitate after listening to the opinions of these staff, but Qian Xiaocheng thought that it was better for Xiong Wencan to go to Tantou Town in person, because the two sides initially talked about Xiong Wencan's intention to summon Yu Xiaotian, and now Yu Xiaotian is here, but Xiong Wencan refuses to show up, and if it is not good, it will cause other twists and turns in the matter of Zhao'an.

But there were very few people who supported Qian Xiaocheng, and most of the staff insisted that Xiong Wencan was not easy to come to Tantou Town, so in the end, after Xiong Wencan had a convulsion, he still listened to the opinions of most people, and decided to send Fuzhou Governor Lu Wenheng to meet with Yu Xiaotian this time, and then listen to the conditions that Yu Xiaotian wanted.

So on the third day of the sixth month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the personnel of both sides arrived at Tantou Town.

A fleet of about 50 ships arrived at the mouth of the Minjiang River two days before the date of the negotiations between the two sides, completely blocked the mouth of the Minjiang River, and did not allow any ships to enter or leave the mouth of the Minjiang River.

In addition, the special combat team had arrived at Tantou Town in advance in the five days before Xiaotian led the people to Tantou Town, launched a reconnaissance of the area around Tantou Town within a radius of about 20 miles, and set up several monitoring points, secretly controlling several nearby routes in and out of Tantou Town.

As long as any officers and soldiers try to enter this area during the negotiations, they will be immediately discovered by the sea wolf's special combat team, and then send a signal rocket to notify Yu Xiaotian's negotiation team to evacuate Tantou Town.

In addition, the special combat team also closely monitored the movements of the 2,000 Fubiao officers and soldiers who had entered the area in advance, and if they made any abnormal moves, they would be discovered immediately, and they even carried more than 20 rockets with arms more than two meters thick.

After ignition, this kind of rocket can fly a distance of two or three miles, and the head of the rocket is also equipped with high-quality granular gunpowder, and when it flies to the target, the internal lead will be ignited, and finally explode at the target.

The head of the rocket is loaded with nearly 200 iron particles the size of mung beans, and once it explodes within a few meters, it will cause major casualties to personnel, which can be described as a big killing weapon, but it is a pity that the accuracy of this kind of guy is really not very reliable, and sometimes it will deviate very far from the target.

So when this kind of thing is not necessary, the sea wolf is not willing to use it easily, but in the current situation, they still took out more than 20 rounds and brought them over, because they can't carry cannons after they land, and they can only bring two grenades that are not very powerful per person, so when necessary, this kind of thing can still bring a certain deterrent to the officers and soldiers.

After everything was ready, Yu Xiaotian's ship also arrived at the mouth of the Minjiang River, and two elite infantry companies arrived here with the fleet, and were unloaded on the shore, as members of the accompanying protection of Yu Xiaotian, followed Yu Xiaotian to Tantou Town.
