Chapter 293: The Situation in Taiwan (Part II)

Speaking of this, Yu Xiaotian stopped and glanced at the gang of men standing in front of him, the black head looked confused, but Sun Baoqiang replied: "Qi Yu is in charge, my subordinates think that the reason why this red-haired man keeps making trouble along the coast of Daming is just to find a foothold and be able to do business with Daming, I don't know if what his subordinates are right?" ”

Yu Xiaotian immediately nodded and said, "That's right!" This red-haired man just wants to find a foothold in our Daming coastal area to do business with our Daming!

But I'm afraid you don't know the origin of the red-haired man and the dry silk man! I'm going to give you a brief talk about it today!

In fact, these red-haired people, Francophone people, and dry wax people are all Tessie, which is what we call a European country! The people we often talk about are actually called Spain!

And these three families actually belonged to Spain a long time ago, and they belonged to one family! But later, the Franco-Romans became independent from Spain, and to put it bluntly, they set themselves up as kings and no longer listened to the Spanish king!

Then, not too long ago, the Red-Haired also broke away from Spain and formed their Dutch nation! You know all about it!

So far, the king of Spain has regained control of the territory of the Franco, and now the two are one, but the red-haired people have begun to oppose their old club everywhere after getting rid of Spain!

These three started by sailing, and the red-haired people came from behind, and they couldn't get along with their old club everywhere, and saw their old club Spaniards run to our Daming's side, so they also hurried to chase their butts and rushed over, first snatched Batavia from their old club, and wanted to make a lot of money by trading with our Daming.

However, Batavia is located in the South Seas, a little far away from our Ming Dynasty, and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty are not willing to go so far to do business with them.

So the red-haired people wanted to emulate the Francophile of the year, and also make a place like Macao along the coast of Daming, but Daming suffered a loss and was no longer fooled, and refused to give the red-haired people this opportunity.

So the red-haired people began to make trouble, wanting to rob a place to open a port for trading, and then there was the battle between the Ming Dynasty and their Penghu.

The red-haired people are now smart, and they feel that it is obvious that the Ming will not agree to grab a place directly from Daming, so they retreat and simply run to the south of this Taiyuan Island, occupy the majority, and begin to build a city, to take the red-haired city of the Daming as a base, and then grab business with their old club Spaniards.

Although this Taiyuan Island is very close to our Daming, it has not been the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, and it has been included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so the red-haired people have taken advantage of this loophole.

The reason why I took you here to occupy Jilong Bay and Tamsui is actually because this is not the jurisdiction of Daming, and it can be used as the nest of our sea wolves in the future!

In recent years, they have colluded with our counterparts in the coastal areas of Guangdong and Fujian, and have continuously intercepted merchant ships going to Manila to trade with the Dry Wax Silk people, forcing them to transfer to the Red Hair City in Tainan to do business with the Red Hair People, so this is equivalent to cutting off the financial route of the Dry Wax Silk people.

The dry wax people came earlier than the red-haired people, and they robbed the Great Luzon first, thinking that they had taken advantage of the time and place, so they didn't pay attention to this Taiyuan Island, and now they must have learned that their old rival the red-haired people occupied Tainan, so it threatened them to do business with the Ming merchants.

So the dry silk people will not sit still, and will definitely try their best to get back this game, but at present, the dry silk people are not superior in force, and they can't kill the red-haired people, so if he wants to win back this game, then he can only find another way, so where do you think the dry silk people will start on Taiyuan Island? ”

Speaking of this, Yu Xiaotian stopped again and looked at the black head and the others with his hands behind his back.

When the black head heard this, he suddenly realized what Yu Xiaotian wanted to say, and exclaimed: "Could it be that the big boss wants to say that the Ganlasi people want to beat our Jilong Bay?" ”

"Not bad! The dry silk people can't mess with the red-haired people, but they can afford to mess with our sea wolves! And Tainan has now fallen into the hands of the red-haired people, and the dry wax people can only focus on the northern part of Taiyuan Island.

Although there are many bays in the northern part of Taiyuan Island, only this Jilong Bay is the best deep-water harbor, and the terrain is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack!

No matter who you are, if you want to come here, you will be eyeing our chicken coop bay! The people of Dry Silk will definitely not sit idly by and watch this place be controlled by us! I can't figure out the two Tessie boats that came here last time, they are the boats of the dry silk people, and they are specially here to explore the way! Yu Xiaotian nodded and continued to the black head and the others.

"Grandma's, according to what the big boss said, it seems that those two galleons of Tessie are really dry silk people's boats! If that's the case, it's a bit of a hassle! The blackhead couldn't get up at ease, although his nostrils were facing the sky now, and he already looked down on those peers, but he still had lingering fears about the kind of galleons that the Taixi people had, and they knew very well that with the warships they currently had on hand, they were no match for the galleons of others.

"Except for the dry silk people, don't think that the red-haired people won't be bad for us! The red-haired man's appetite is much bigger than you think! Although they occupy the big man's side at the moment and don't come to our side, it's because they haven't freed up their hands yet!

The red-haired people actually want the entire Taiyuan Island, and they want to take the entire Taiyuan Island as their colony! At the moment, they are just incapable, and if they gain a foothold on the side of the big man, sooner or later, they will still come to us for trouble!

This is also the reason why I have been immigrating here at all costs for more than a year, sending people over to build a fortress and build a fort, and letting you people be stationed here.

I don't care if this Taiyuan Island is the territory of Daming or not, but at least if this is the territory of our sea wolves, it is the territory of our Chinese, how can others be involved!

And you guys, especially your black head, actually think that you are too idle here, don't take it seriously, and just think about how to fight people in the scenery all day long!

If you really think that life here is so boring, then it's easy to do, I'll give you a chance, just transfer you out of here, it's a big deal for me to change someone, in short, no matter who is sitting here, I have to give me a good look at this chicken coop bay, dare to have a little difference, Lao Tzu will skin him alive! ”

Yu Xiaotian scolded the black head.

The black head was scolded by Yu Xiaotian and shrunk his neck, and quickly bowed his head and knelt down on one knee to plead guilty: "The big boss is angry!" Don't dare to blackhead in the future! Please rest assured, I will never dare to be careless in the future, as long as my black head is still breathing, I will never let people rob this chicken coop bay! Unless he steps on my corpse! ”

When Yu Xiaotian heard such a promise from the black head, his face relaxed, and he nodded: "Okay!" I'll believe you again! For the sake of what you've done here this year, I won't bother with you! But you all remember to me that this chicken coop village is the root of my so-and-so, and there must be no carelessness! I put you here to rest assured of you, and if I didn't put your mind at ease, how dare I leave such an important place to you to guard! ”

After hearing this, Heitou and Sun Baoqiang and the others hurriedly bowed down to receive the order, and thanked Xiaotian repeatedly, according to Yu Xiaotian, their gang can be sent here to do things, it is obvious that Yu Xiaotian trusts them, not exiles them here, then they have nothing to complain about.

(Today it's still two chapters together, and the number of words in this chapter is too little!) )

Chapter 294: Grace and Might

When Yu Xiaotian asked about the recent developments of the native tribes around the chicken coop village, the black head asked Li Qing, who is now presiding over the dealings with the natives here, to report to Yu Xiaotian.

Since the last time Yu Xiaotian personally led people to destroy the largest indigenous tribe nearby, the surrounding indigenous tribes have seen the power of the sea wolf's firearms with their own eyes, and they have begun to respect and fear the sea wolf outsiders.

They watched the natives of the most arrogant tribe here for so many years, cut to the ground as if they had been cut down in front of the sea wolf's row of guns and "cannons", but they didn't even have the ability to fight back, they were frightened by the fierceness of the sea wolf.

Moreover, they also saw that when the sea wolf tribe was cleaning up the battlefield, they mercilessly cut off the necks of the seriously injured natives, and they were even more shocked by the sea wolf's methods, and began to be full of awe of them outsiders.

Therefore, since that time, the incidents of the surrounding natives attacking the chicken coop village have been decreasing day by day, so that the safety of the sea wolf tribe and the immigrants who have been transported here has been greatly improved when they are active in this area.

In the past, the sea wolf tribes and immigrants rarely dared to move far away from the chicken coop village, and only dared to operate in a slightly open place near the chicken coop village, but since that time, the sea wolf tribe has gradually expanded its range of activities and began to extend its tentacles to farther places.

And some native tribes within a radius of dozens of miles around it, after cooperating with the sea wolf once, got a lot of cheap, that is, they divided the territory of the destroyed tribe, harvested a lot of booty, got a group of slaves, and also got some knives, axes, spear heads and tools from the sea wolf, which can be said to be very happy.

In addition, they also found that these outsiders are not as bad as they think, and under normal circumstances, they don't provoke these outsiders, and these outsiders are easy to deal with.

Moreover, these outsiders here in Jilong Bay have a lot of good things in their hands, which are usually difficult for them to obtain, especially tools and cloth, which are much easier to use than those bone, wood and even stone things in their hands.

So these indigenous tribes began to deal with the sea wolves in the chicken coop village, and from time to time they would run to the chicken coop village to exchange their hunted animal skins and sea wolves for some useful things.

And the black-headed people also specially formulated a barter trade standard for this purpose, using some knives, axes, saw blades, tea, salt, cloth and other things, clearly marked the price, from the hands of these natives in exchange for their hunted animal skins, and set a corresponding level for the natives' animal skins, so that when they come to trade, they can also do it in their hearts.

In this way, the nearby natives felt that the outsiders of the sea wolf were still very fair, so the relationship between them was better.

In fact, these natives are not completely in a closed state, in the dozens of hundreds of years before the sea wolf came here, there have already been many pirates and pirates to settle on Taiyuan Island, so the natives and outsiders have not dealt with each other, but these outsiders mostly use the natives to see less, either kill the natives indiscriminately, or capture the natives as slaves, even if it is a transaction, they also like to deceive the natives.

This has also caused the natives to be hostile to outsiders, and they have adopted the same hostile attitude towards the sea wolves when they first landed in Jilong Bay, constantly attacking Jilong Bay, trying to confine these outsiders in Jilong Bay, and even hoping to drive them away.

But after cooperating with the sea wolf and dating for a while, they found that the sea wolf group of outsiders did not seem to be as bad as they thought, when trading with the sea wolf, they felt that it was very fair, in the past, they had a few good animal skins, and they could not necessarily exchange it for a knife, but now the sea wolf offered a much fairer price, so that they can now exchange less animal skins or prey, in exchange for more useful things.

So gradually these natives weakened their hostility towards the sea wolves, and felt that after these outsiders, their lives seemed to be better, and they no longer wanted to drive the sea wolves away, otherwise, they would have no place to change things in the future.

But this kind of trade for the sea wolf, is not a loss, on the contrary, the price offered by the sea wolf, for their profit is still very large, often they exchange for the hides, after being transported to the land, or after being transported to Manila, Macao and other places, the price can be more than ten times, but relatively speaking, the natives themselves feel good.

Now under the auspices of Li Qing, this kind of barter trade has been done quite large, every month they can almost exchange for nearly a thousand pieces of various animal skins, the most popular of which is the skins of Taiwan's unique sambar deer and sika deer, as well as the skins of the relatively rare Taiwanese clouded leopard, every month the profits from these skins alone can basically meet the living needs of the people here.

It can be seen that as long as the mountain and sea economy is seriously developed, it is still quite promising.

In addition to the current leather trade that has been formed in Jilong Bay, sometimes the natives will also take some inedible game to trade with the sea wolf, Li Qing also accepted all the orders, the right is to improve the food for the local people, and after some pickles, it is also sent to Nanri Island as a local product for other sea wolf tribes to try.

In this regard, Yu Xiaotian deliberately found a few people who can make preserved meat, and sent them to the side of the chicken cage village, specializing in making the meat of some prey into dried meat, and then transporting it to the land for sale, and the business is actually quite good, especially the dried meat of venison and wild boar, which is quite popular among businessmen and dignitaries in Fujian, and has gradually formed a good deal.

Moreover, the raw materials have gradually developed from venison and wild boar meat to whale meat, and the output will be larger and larger in the future, which will become a good financial route.

In this regard, Yu Xiaotian was very satisfied with Li Qing's work, and really praised Li Qing a few words, which made Li Qing very excited, and quickly got down and thanked him again and again.

"Li Qing! Get up and speak, it doesn't have to be so! The things you manage are doing quite well, I have always done things fairly, as long as you do it well, Yu will not treat you badly!

Our seawolf has not been established for a long time, and at present, the chicken coop and fresh water, including Nanri Island, are all waiting for a hundred industries, and we need someone like you to take care of things! You work hard, although I don't dare to protect you from glory in the future, but at least I can ensure your glory and wealth!

It is particularly important for us to open up financial routes at present, but we have no way to compete with some industries on the land of Daming, such as silk in the south of the Yangtze River, porcelain in Fujian and Guangdong, and tea in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, we can't compare with them!

Therefore, we can only take advantage of the situation to develop our own industry! As the saying goes, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water, we have the continuous mountains and dense forests of Taiyuan Island behind us, and we are facing the sea, if we don't rely on these to make a fortune, what else can we rely on?

So in the future, you have to think more of a way in this area, the current dried meat workshop is just the beginning, in the future, what I want to see here is more and more processing plants for all kinds of food, fish, whale meat, as long as you can make money, you can do it, I will give you people, I will give you boats, all in all, Jilong Bay will produce more meat in the future!

In addition to letting our brothers eat well, you must also be able to exchange it for silver, and if you do this, you will be the hero of the sea wolf, and you will enjoy it in the future! ”

After Yu Xiaotian's words were finished, Li Qing had a feeling of wanting to cry, he used to be just an errand runner for a shop, and then the owner's boat had an accident and drifted here, and he was frightened every day, afraid of being eaten by the natives, but he didn't expect that after meeting the sea wolf, his fate changed so much.

When Yu Xiaotian learned that he knew how to be a native, he immediately activated him, and now he is an important person in charge of the sea wolf in the chicken coop village, in addition to changing a clean and spacious residence, there are dozens of subordinates who run errands for him, and he also married a beautiful wife some time ago, which he couldn't think of before.

Now that Yu Xiaotian said these words to him, he felt that he was going to run again in the future, as long as he worked hard, he could really get ahead like Yu Xiaotian said, and he might not be able to enjoy endless glory and wealth, so Li Qing quickly knelt down and thanked him.

After Li Qing finished speaking, Sun Baoqiang continued: "After the big boss destroyed that group of natives, he didn't make it clear how to distribute their territory, this move is really a wonderful move!"

Since then, several groups of natives around have begun to fight endlessly for land, and they will clash with each other from time to time, and now these groups of natives dare not easily offend us!

Soon after the year, one of the natives took advantage of their outnumbered people to rob a mountain, bullied the other natives, and did not allow our people to enter their territory to hunt, and shot two of our brothers who went into the mountains to hunt.

So Zai Xia and the black-headed brother immediately recruited several other natives, cleaned up this group of natives, arrested more than 100 of them, and drove them out of their previous territory! Although they were not destroyed, they were also cleaned up from a big tribe to a small tribe, and they will no longer be rampant, and their lives will be sad in the future!

After this incident, several other natives are even more grateful to us, their territory is now in and out of us, and they also provide guides for our people!

Now, according to the orders of the great boss at the beginning, we have ordered the soldiers here to divide into three groups every month, and each time they go out to 20 to 50 people, under the guidance of the native guides, go into the mountains and forests to hunt! After entering the mountain, I also learned a lot of things from the natives.

In the past half a year, the harvest has been quite abundant, and now our people are no longer as they were when they first came, they dare not easily enter the mountain, and they will not be blown by their subordinates in the future, if there are natives who dare to attack our chicken coop village in the future, even if they don't ask other natives to help, just rely on our own soldiers, and they can also get rid of their nests when they go in! ”
