Yu Zhigao turned out to be the same as Zhang Jiace, both served as deputy commanders in Fujian, and Yu Zhigao was the son of Yu Dayou, the general who shocked the coastal areas of Fujian.

Then Yu Zhigao was promoted to the post of chief military officer of Fujian at the end of last year because of his meritorious service in the Battle of Penghu, and the deeper reason was that Yu Zhigao had someone in the court to help and had a solid foundation.

And Zhang Jiace and Yu Zhigao used to be deputy generals, and they had a good relationship with each other, this time Zhang Jiace was unlucky, and he was secretly attacked by the sea wolf in Puxi City, and also shelled the city of Puxi, but he was smart enough, and immediately after the war, he sent his own soldiers to secretly hunt and kill some coastal homeless people and thieves, and got more than 100 heads for combat exploits.

Therefore, with the help of Yu Zhigao's lobbying, Zhu Qinxiang wanted to blame Zhang Jiace, but in the end he did not succeed, but Zhang Jiace "killed" more than 100 pirates, and this time he still had merit.

In the end, this matter could only be played by Liu Yinglong, a guerrilla in coastal defense, who was ordered to be removed from his official position, pushed to the end, and rushed home to be a rich man!

What made Zhu Qinxiang even more annoyed was that he heard that the sea wolf was secretly sending people to lobby in the land government, and spent a lot of money to impeach the officials in Fujian, vowing to disgrace him and dismiss him.

There happened to be so many people impeaching Zhu Qinxiang, how could Wei Zhongxian let go of such a great opportunity, so before the end of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the imperial court issued an order to dismiss Zhu Qinxiang, and replaced Zhu Yifeng, who was the former Fujian right-hand politician and judge of the court, to replace Zhu Qin, and become the new governor of Fujian.

So far, Yu Xiaotian and the government in this year's battle, basically ended in a big victory, Zhu Qinxiang because he chose the wrong opponent, was repeatedly slapped by the sea wolf, so that the most disgraced resignation was disgraced, and went home to retire.

The news of Zhu Qinxiang's resignation was sent to the wolf's den on Nanri Island within the first time, and Yu Xiaotian sighed slightly after hearing it, feeling worthless for the matter of this Fujian governor.

Originally, he wanted to shoot and quietly entered the village, he made his fortune at sea, and he didn't want to make trouble with the government to such a point, but this Zhu Qinxiang just wanted to make trouble with him, and he didn't want to cut him out, he asked himself, this time this incident was not provoked by him, but he is not a person who is afraid of things, someone wants to fix him, he naturally will not sit and wait for others to fix it, so this time he will deal with Zhu Qinxiang, the governor of Fujian, so this time.

Now that Zhu Qinxiang has been disgraced by him, he has dismissed his post and gone home to rest for dinner, so he also ordered to go down, so that the sailors and war barracks, who were busy during this time, died down, and ended the second large-scale attack on the coastal areas of Fujian.

This time, the trouble with the government reached such a point, and the sea wolf once again advertised live, and the sea wolf actually dared to move even the official army, and took the initiative to force the door, and directly destroyed the warship of the official army and the naval division in the water village, which was quite shocking news for the pirates in the two areas of Fujian.

Although the official army and sailors have been suppressing bandits at sea for so many years, they have not made much achievements, but they have an official name on their backs, and even if the pirates at sea are strong, few people take the initiative to fight the official army, but this time Yu Xiaotian and his sea wolf subordinates have set this precedent, and they beat the official army to the ground, and destroyed dozens of warships of the official army at once.

It turned out that Chu Cailao and other fellow bosses who were gearing up in the dark were originally planning to look at the direction of the wind, once the official army defeated the sea wolf this time, then they immediately began to do it against the sea wolf and snatch back what they had lost before, especially Chu Cailao, gritting his teeth and secretly swearing that he would sleep on his skin and eat his flesh for Xiao Tiansheng, and avenge his defeat and humiliation on Nanri Island at the beginning of the year.

But the result made Chu Cailao and others shocked again, this time the sea wolf won too neatly, and he didn't even have a chance to give the official army a chance, so he came to strike first, killed the warship mobilized by the government in one fell swoop, and took away the merchant ship that the government had nailed down, and immediately made the government's plan this time stillborn.

This result suddenly made Chu Cai's boss discouraged, so he could only continue to stay honestly, secretly exerting his strength to eat milk, pulling people everywhere to join the gang, and robbing merchant ships to replenish ships.

And after Chu Cailao suffered a big loss from the sea wolf on Nanri Island, he decided to also come to the wall to try the gall and smear the wall, and find a way to get his own cannon.

For this reason, Chu Cailao has been constantly going back and forth between the red-haired people, the Franco-Rang machine and the dry wax people in the past six months, and even contacted the British merchant house in Batavia, which had not come to the coastal activities of China on a large scale at this time, hoping to get some artillerymen from them.

But his efforts have not succeeded, these Taixi people are not stupid, for the output of craftsmen, they are very concerned, now arms in the coastal area of the Ming Dynasty is hard currency, a light naval gun (six-pound, eight-pound gun) can be sold for more than a thousand taels of silver, heavy naval guns such as eighteen-pound cannons, at least three thousand taels of silver, how can they easily teach the craft of casting cannons to pirates like Chu Cailao!

Therefore, Chu Cailao tossed for half a year, and wanted to follow the example of the sea wolf and imitate the Western cannon by himself, but he spent a lot of money to buy more than ten Hongyi cannons of various types from the red-haired people, which could not solve the big problem at all, but only enhanced his strength.

Later, Chu Cailao heard that after the battle between Zhangzhou Mansion and Quanzhou Mansion in Penghu, some craftsmen borrowed the Hongyi cannon of the captured red-haired man to imitate some Hongyi cannons, so he tried to spend money to inquire about the two places, and later learned that the government imitated these Hongyi cannons, the lightest one or two thousand catties weighed, and the heaviest actually reached four or five thousand catties, which could not be loaded on the ship at all, and it was extremely difficult to imitate.

Chu Cailao weighed the strength at hand, although the Dongshan Island he was entrenched in was not small, but there was only a small blacksmith shop on Dongshan Island, and it was a joke to rely on such infrastructure to cast Hongyi cannons by himself, so he had to die of this heart, pinning his hopes on the government, hoping that one day the government would destroy the surname Yu, and then he followed behind the government, beat the water dogs, and took revenge.

But at present, Chu Cailao's hope has been disappointed again, and Chu Cailao found that he is facing a new opponent, that is, Zheng Yiguan, who suddenly appeared in the coastal area, suddenly appeared in the coastal area of Zhangquan and other places with a large number of boats and subordinates, and began to compete with Chu Cailao for turf, and there was a great momentum to expel Chu Cailao from the coastal areas of Fujian.

Chapter 15 Zheng Yiguan's Character Problem

Through this conflict with the government, the sea wolf can be said to have gained and lost, and what he lost was the relationship between him and the government that he had carefully maintained over the past year, because of two large-scale attacks on the coastal areas, which completely tore his face, and also made him successfully rise to the most hated pirate of the Fujian government, no one.

Because of the rupture between him and the government, the government began to restrict maritime merchants from operating on Nanri Island, which affected the business of the Nanri Island business area to a certain extent, and reduced some of the sea wolf's tax income.

But they got a lot, through the two battles of Nanri Water Village and Chongwu, the reputation of the sea wolf has reached a new height, making it the most ferocious representative of the coastal area of Fujian and even the two Guangxi counterparts, which also makes the merchant ships passing through the absolute control area of the sea wolf are even more respectful to the sea wolf, and few people dare to pass through the control area of the sea wolf without paying money.

This has made Seawolf's income from tolls grow quite rapidly this year, reaching as much as five times that of last year, making Seawolf Council Hall make a lot of money for this.

As for the dozens of large and medium-sized merchant ships that were forcibly tied back to Nanri Island from Chongwu, Yu Xiaotian did not completely kill these maritime merchants, and ordered them to take out a part of the silver to ransom their ships and the boatmen on board, and warned them that this was for their first sake, if they dared to help the government deal with the sea wolves in the future, there would be no such cheap thing.

Kill their ship, that's the cheapest, after finding out who participated in the operation to help the government deal with the sea wolf, the sea wolf completely blocked their way to sea in the future, but if they find that they have a ship to go to sea, they will not let go.

Frightened, this group of maritime merchants were all frightened, and made up their minds that if they encountered another merchant ship sealed by the government and wanted to go to sea to deal with the sea wolf, they would rather scuttle the ship at the dock and sink it on the dock, and they must not participate in this kind of thing again, otherwise once the sea wolf wins, they will not want to do this profitable business in the future.

In this way, the sea wolf has a great deterrent to the maritime merchants in the coastal area of Fujian this time, and it is estimated that many people will not dare to be enemies with the sea wolf in the future.

During the period when Xiaotian was dealing with the government's attack, he did not relax his surveillance of Yan Siqi and Zheng Yiguan, and news would come from there every few days.

According to the news that Zheng Yiguan went to Pingdo to mourn this time, in fact, he was fighting for Li Dan's inheritance, and this time after he returned to Pingdo, in this inheritance battle, it can basically be said that he won a big victory, and almost took over Li Dan's entire inheritance.

It is rumored that Li Dan's legacy is very huge, in addition to the fact that he has accumulated hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and silver over the years by working part-time as a pirate in the maritime trade, the most important thing is that he has more than 10,000 subordinates and many merchant ships.

It is reported that before Li Dan's death, he controlled nearly 500 ships of all kinds, of which the number of ships that could be used as war ships was no less than 300, which was more real than pure gold and silver alone, especially those experienced sailors, not to mention that money alone could buy.

And Li Dan's son Li Guo, because he is not very old, although he is protected by Li Dan's name, but among Li Dan's subordinates, his prestige is not high, far less than the prestige of Zheng Yiguan, who has followed Li Dan all these years, among his subordinates.

This time, Zheng Yiguan went to Pingdo for the funeral, and secretly contacted the subordinates of Li Dan who he had befriended before, and obtained the full support of these people, so that when he was mourning, with the support of these people, he took over Li Dan's properties, of course, Li Dan's real estate and real estate in Pingdo, he did not take all of them, and left them to Li Dan's descendants, but the maritime industries were basically taken by him and became the new boss after Li Dan.

After Zheng Yiguan received Li Dan's inheritance, he did not regard Hirado as his home like Li Dan, because he and Yan Siqi had conspired to start an incident in Japan to fight against the Tokugawa shogunate, which was now ruling in Japan, and later fled from Japan in defeat, so he followed Yan Siqi to the island of Taiwan.

After Li Dan's death, if he stayed in Hirado, it was estimated that the Tokugawa shogunate would not tolerate him, so after Zheng Yiguan took over Li Dan's property, he returned to the Bengang area of Yan Siqi on the island of Taiwan with a large number of ships and men.

In this way, Zheng Yiguan's strength suddenly jumped above Yan Siqi, originally Yan Siqi valued Zheng Yiguan very much, and he used to have the intention of cultivating Zheng Yiguan, but when Zheng Yiguan came back this time and turned around to take over Li Dan's inheritance, Yan Siqi felt that Zheng Yiguan threatened his status.

Therefore, after Zheng Yiguan led the crowd back to Taiwan Island, Yan Siqi and Zheng Yiguan still maintained a harmonious relationship on the surface, but according to the careful observation of those who stayed there, there was already an estrangement between the two people.

In mid-December, news came from Yan Siqi's land, saying that Yan Siqi had begun to secretly appear that someone wanted Zheng Yiguan to be their boss, which suddenly made the relationship between Yan Siqi and Zheng Yiguan tense.

It turned out that Yan Siqi's subordinates, after Zheng Yiguan returned to Bengang, also began to split, a group of Yan Siqi's old brothers supported Yan Siqi, but some people began to become ambiguous, and some even simply fell to Zheng Yiguan's side.

At present, the atmosphere on Yan Siqi's territory began to become very tense, Zheng Yiguan's subordinates and Yan Siqi's subordinates began to have some small frictions during this time, although Zheng Yiguan is still Yan Siqi's younger brother in name, but Zheng Yiguan's subordinates don't see it that way, they only regard Zheng Yiguan as their own boss, and there is no Yan Siqi in their eyes at all.

And some of Yan Siqi's hardcore subordinates naturally can't get used to seeing these Zheng Yiguan's new subordinates disrespecting their old brothers on their territory, so it is very normal for friction to occur, although there are Yan Siqi and Zheng Yiguan under pressure, and there is no major incident for the time being, but now Yan Siqi's side is like a powder keg, and if a little spark falls into it, it will not be possible to make a big explosion.

After learning these news, Yu Xiaotian can be sure that history has begun to change at this moment because of his appearance, this is the end of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, according to the historical process he once knew, Yan Siqi should have died a long time ago, but in this time and space, Yan Siqi unexpectedly avoided the end of the violent illness and died, and survived.

Then Yan Siqi's survival has also made Zheng Yiguan's path deviate from the original track, and where Zheng Yiguan should go next, no one can predict it now, but one thing can be confirmed, today, his appearance in Xiaotian has made the situation on the sea more complicated.

Yu Xiaotian calmed down, and carefully began to think about the future of Zheng Yiguan's whereabouts, after the old time and space of the understanding of Zheng Yiguan's development process, as well as the direct confrontation with Zheng Yiguan in this time and space, Yu Xiaotian can now be sure that Zheng Yiguan is by no means the kind of person who values righteousness.

In history, because Zheng Yiguan is the father of Zheng Chenggong, many records are full of praise for him, describing him as a shrewd and capable person, but if you think carefully about the road he has walked, you can find that Zheng Yiguan is by no means the kind of person who stresses righteousness.

If he was a righteous person, he would not have rushed all the way to Hirado as soon as Li Dan died, and in the name of worshiping his father-in-law, he would have taken Li Dan's inheritance from Li Dan's descendants, making him a hegemon on the sea.

In addition, before Zheng Yiguan inherited Li Dan's inheritance, he first inherited Yan Siqi's mantle, and included the industries created by Yan Siqi into his pocket.

Later, Zheng Yiguan gathered coastal heroes in the Bengang area of Taiwan Island, established the famous Eighteen Zhi Pirate Group in history, and became the leader of Eighteen Zhi.

Moreover, he accepted the appeasement of the government in history, and while turning into a red-top businessman, he also became a general who held the military power of one side.

For this reason, many of his old brothers turned their backs on him, including the famous Liu Xiang and Li Kuiqi, as well as the not-so-famous Yang Liu, Yang Qi, Zhong Bin, He Bin and others.

And these old brothers, in the next few years, were cut off by Zheng Yiguan one by one and wiped out from the sea, and Xu Xinsu, an old friend who had a good relationship with his father-in-law, also died at his hands.

Zheng Yiguan also has one of the biggest stains on his life, that is, the Ming court treats him well, but when the Tartars entered the customs and went south, Zheng Yiguan saw that the Houjin Tartars were powerful, so he immediately turned around and took refuge in the Houjin Tartars.

And this premise is that the Manchu Tartars forced his wife to death, the Japanese strange woman Tagawa Clan, Zheng Yiguan still took refuge in the Houjin Tartars for his own glory and wealth, and even his son Zheng Chenggong did not agree to him to do so, and later Nu'er rose up, took over Zheng Yiguan's industry and soldiers, and embarked on the road of resisting the Qing Dynasty.

So no matter in any way, Zheng Yiguan's character is very poor, and it can be said that he is a complete villain, this person starts from his own interests, he is a standard businessman, and his thinking mode is also a standard businessman's thinking mode, he only pursues interests, as for any righteousness, in his opinion, it is not something that can influence his behavior, his brother is used to sell, as long as it is beneficial to him, he will do anything.

This is Yu Xiaotian's evaluation of Zheng Yiguan's whole person, and he believes that he has not misjudged Zheng Yiguan's character, but he also has to admit that Zheng Yiguan is a very smart person, who has grasped almost all the opportunities on his life path, and has become a hegemon in the Chinese Sea at a young age, and is good at using various relationships, and finally controls the entire China Sea.

Such a person will sooner or later become his sea wolf's fierce rival, don't look at the two sides for the time being, but with the expansion of Zheng Yiguan's strength, it is only a matter of time before he and the sea wolf clash.

(Today, the two chapters are updated together!) There are many inconveniences, and I hope that the brothers will bear with me! ）
