So Lu Wenheng began to pay attention to this group of sea wolves, and let people usually pay attention to collecting some relevant information about sea wolves, the more he knew the Tao, the more curious Lu Wenheng was about this group of sea wolves, because he found that this group of sea wolves was indeed very different from other pirates.

First of all, he heard that the big leader of the sea wolf, surnamed Yu, is not very old, that is, he is in his twenties, and he is very good at commanding, and has introduced various rules to restrain his subordinates, one of which is very important, that is, he must not harm the people without authorization, let alone rape and plunder outside, and he also heard that this surname Yu is very good at training his subordinates, and the sea wolf subordinates have gradually changed from a group of murderous people to a group of rule-abiding guys under his tutelage.

Moreover, this surnamed Yu is very good at doing business, organized a lot of ships, ran from south to north at sea, bought a large number of raw silk, tea, lacquerware, ceramics, brocade, cloth, etc., and then resold them to Macao, where the Francois is located, or Manila, where the dry silk people are located, and even as far as Batavia, where the Dutch are located, and then purchased spices, spices, Indian cotton cloth and some strange and obscene gadgets made by the Taixi people from Nanyang, and sold them to the Ming land, and the business is quite large.

In this regard, Lu Wenheng also dispelled a lot of hostility towards the sea wolves, thinking that this group of pirates, although they are not necessarily good people, but at least compared to other pirates, it is still a little more duty, although they disobey the imperial court and open the sea without authorization, but it is much better than relying on raiding the coastal belt to support themselves.

In addition, since the sea wolf took control of the coastal area of Fuzhou, the bandit situation in the coastal area of Fuzhou has decreased significantly, and the sea wolf has secretly killed a few fishing tyrants who even he feels a headache, solving some troubles for him and saving him a lot of worry, which Lu Wenheng is happy to see.

In addition, Lu Wenheng is also very clear about the current situation of Fujian's official army and naval division, this time Nan Juyi attacked Penghu, it can be said that he did Fujian's elite soldiers and horses and naval ships, but what the result is, he knows better than anyone that this battle Nan Juyi invested a lot of troops and spent a lot, but the result was only to force those red-haired people in Helan to leave Penghu and pull them down, and even the red-haired city in Penghu was not able to break through, but suffered heavy casualties. Find a way to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, and plug this hole.

Therefore, if you want Fujian to raise heavy troops again in a short period of time to attack Nanri Island, it is basically an unrealistic thing, just this military funds, they will not be able to raise it in a short time, and those officers and soldiers and sailors, they will definitely open their mouths, want this and that, and then it will be them who will be embarrassed by the civil officials, if they don't give it, those martial artists will definitely not be able to fight well, and if they give, they will have no place to make money.

And once defeated, whoever picks the leader will be unlucky, the example of the Fujian government attacking the Shark Gang on Nanri Island is still fresh in everyone's memory, so Lu Wenheng is not interested in provoking them after seeing these actions of the sea wolf.

Now in his opinion, as long as the sea wolf does not come nonsense, do some business to make money and make a fortune, for him only need to turn a blind eye, not to mention that the bigger the business of the sea wolf, the more the land businessmen in Fujian will earn, and the more prosperous the place will be, it can be said that it is the best of both worlds, and it is best for both sides to maintain this state and be safe.

In addition, Lu Wenheng also heard the news that in the past two years, the sea wolves have been focusing on the reclamation of Nanri Island, and have brought away many immigrants from the coastal areas of Fuzhou, but they are not like the pirates in the past, who relied on raiding and plundering the coastal areas and forcibly coercing the coastal people to immigrate, but secretly used various means, either to attract some landless people to settle down, or to deceive or use strong means to get away some displaced people who wandered from other places to the Fujian area.

In this way, although it is illegal for the sea wolf to do this, it is undoubtedly a good thing for them and the magistrates, and it has helped them solve a lot of trouble.

You must know that the landless peasants in Ludao often have to pay under those rich people to beg for food, and now the powerful and rich people in various places wantonly annex land, causing the people in many places to complain, and from time to time some trouble will arise, which is a headache for these local officials.

In the past two years, because of the rebellion in Yunnan and Guizhou, Zhejiang and Jiangxi will also make some floods or droughts from time to time, resulting in many people having no way to make a living, so they have to drag their families and flee with their families, and they have poured into Fujian along the way, scattered in various prefectures and counties in Fujian.

Even if they are good officials, they have a lot of headaches for these displaced people, and they have the heart to give them help, but they do not have enough surplus food and silver on hand, and once they give a large amount of relief to the homeless, it will attract more homeless people to flood into the land under their jurisdiction, which will create more trouble.

However, if they do not give alms, these homeless people will not be able to survive by begging alone, so many homeless people will be beggars during the day, and will steal petty at night, making many places very big, and even some strongmen take the opportunity to recruit these homeless people to fall into the grass in the mountains, and go around robbing houses and houses, which is even more out of control.

In the past two years, the sea wolf has continued to recruit displaced people from Fuzhou and Funing, Xinghua and even Jianning and Yanping provinces through various means to settle down on Nanri Island.

They don't have to think about spending any more time on the relief and resettlement of these displaced people, and second, they don't have to worry about these displaced people doing anything wrong, so for him, the sea wolf is even more happy to see it happen, not to mention turning a blind eye, he even raised his hands to welcome the sea wolf to get more immigrants away.

Therefore, Lu Wenheng has changed his attitude of hostility to the sea wolf during this time, and has taken a blind eye to the sea wolf's actual control of the sea surface of Fuzhou, and let the sea wolf toss around on Nanri Island, as long as this surnamed Yu does not sit on Nanri Island and claim the king, and plunders the coastal area of Fujian, nominally Nanri Island is still the territory of Xinghua Prefecture, the imperial court will not ask too much about this, and they can continue to live in peace.

Now I heard that this Yu Haiwolf actually offended Chu Cailao, a bandit, and caused the news that Chu Cailao vowed to retaliate against the sea wolf, which made Lu Wenheng secretly worried in his heart.

Because he knows very well what this Chu Cai Lao is, this fang has long been notorious in the coastal area of Fujian and Guangzhou, perennial by raiding and plundering the coastal villages and towns for a living, although during the period also do the sea business, but the main business is to rely on robbery, under the hands of thousands of minions, gathered on the sea without a trace, at any time can be summoned tens of thousands of pirates, together in the coastal affairs of the big things.

This person is very powerful among the pirates, ordinary people do not dare to provoke at all, even the government of Liangguang and Fujian mentioned this fang, they also feel powerless, the common people talk about it even more colorful, over the years, the fishermen and ordinary people who died in their hands are enough as tens of thousands, many people were taken captive, either sold by them to other places, or tortured to death by them, or followed him as pirates.

During the Wanli years, this fang even led the crowd to attack the moon port, and attacked Jieyang twice in a row, bold and reckless to the extreme, the threat to the coastal area of Fujian and Guangxi is very large, the government has repeatedly attacked it, but this fang cunning rabbit three holes have never been with the official army head-on duel, over the years the power is getting bigger and bigger, and the official army is lax military discipline, the naval division warship is not repaired, and it is powerless to exterminate it.

Therefore, over the years, the government in the southern coastal area has been helpless against it, but only to take precautions and just let it go freely at sea.

But this time, for some reason, this Yu Haiwolf actually ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and stabbed Chu Cailao's hornet's nest, it stands to reason that there was a conflict between the pirates, and he, the prefect of Fuzhou, as the parent official of the common people, should not care or worry about anything.

In the eyes of many officials, there is a conflict between pirates, it is their internal strife, and whoever bites and kills who is a good thing for the government, but it is precisely because Lu Wenheng has a deep understanding of the behavior of the sea wolf recently, and he also understands Chu Cailao's style of acting, so in his opinion, the lesser of the two powers, he would rather let this Yu sea wolf continue to stay in the Fuzhou area, and he does not want to see Chu Cai Lao kill this Yu sea wolf, and then reach out to Fuzhou, when the time comes, his Fuzhou place, but it will not be peaceful.

So these days, Lu Wenheng has been sending people to pay close attention to the situation at sea, especially the situation on Nanri Island, although he is inclined to the sea wolf side in his heart, but as an official of the imperial court, this kind of thing can only be done in a hurry, and he can't help, if he secretly helps the waves, once the news is revealed, he will be charged with a thief.

In this case, he is not even as simple as losing his official position and resigning, once he is impeached, he may even lose his head and be beheaded, and now that Wei Zhongxian is in power, the Dongchang Affair has become his minion, he is very dissatisfied with this, once Wei Zhongxian is allowed to seize his handle again, it will be even more troublesome.

So when he heard it in his ears, he could only be anxious in his heart, but he couldn't help the sea wolf, so he could only secretly let people pay more attention to the news of Nanri Island.

Just a few days ago, Lu Wenheng received news from his subordinates that a large number of Chu Cailao's ships had appeared on the sea in Fuzhou, blocking the Nanri waterway and cutting off the north-south communication in this area.

It can be known that Chu Cailao is leading his troops to storm the sea wolf village on Nanri Island, but because the sea is full of Chu Cailao's ships, no one can get close to Nanri Island to inquire about the news, and the specific situation of the battle between the two sides is unknown.

After hearing this, Lu Wenheng immediately sent someone to report the news, and Nan Juyi, who was patrolling the Tingzhou Mansion at this time, learned about it, and ordered all coastal areas of Fuzhou to strengthen precautions, and also sent people to the beach to inquire about the news.

A few days later, Lu Wenheng received the news that Chu Cailao's fleet on the sea suddenly disappeared from the coastal areas of Xinghua and Fuzhou Mansions, and many maritime merchants who had avoided returning to the land had taken their ships out to sea.

After hearing this news, Lu Wenheng first felt happy in his heart, and then had a worry in his heart, happy that Chu Cailao did not destroy this Yu Haiwolf, and was beaten away by this Yu Haiwolf, so that the coastal areas of Xinghua Mansion and Fuzhou Mansion can be temporarily calm, and they can live a few days of comfortable life, and they don't have to worry about bandits in the coastal areas in their jurisdiction.

But what he was worried about was that he felt a little underestimated this group of sea wolves, Chu Cai was such a big pirate, he was actually unable to take down this group of sea wolves, but was defeated by the sea wolves, and fled in the wilderness, which shows that the strength of this group of sea wolves has been quite large, according to this development, I am afraid that it will really become a big trouble for the government in the future, and now this surname Yu is still relatively mild for the time being, but one day if his temperament changes greatly and he begins to act mischiefly, the government may be difficult to contain him.

So after Lu Wenheng learned the news, he was quite conflicted in his heart, and he didn't know how to treat this group of sea wolves for a while, and he wanted to discuss with Nan Juyi how to treat the sea wolves, but he was a little worried, now this group of sea wolves has not gone too far, and sending troops to suppress them may cause trouble, but if he sits back and watch this group of sea wolves sit down, once this group of sea wolves has the intention to make trouble in the future, I am afraid that it will be as difficult to clean up as Chu Cailao.

What to do, Lu Wenheng couldn't make up his mind for a while, and after thinking about it again, Lu Wenheng still wrote a letter, describing the situation of this group of sea wolves in detail, and sent someone to Nan Juyi, who is still the governor of Fujian, and asked Nan Juyi to consider making a decision.

As for what decision Nan Juyi will make after reading his letter, it depends on Nan Juyi, who made him just the prefect of Fuzhou Prefecture, and he has no right to come to the last thing to take an idea.
