In the past, Xiong Wencan didn't dare to think about the expansion of the territory, but now Yu Xiaotian gave him a rare opportunity, although Taiyuan Island is not too big for the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also an isolated island hanging overseas, but after all, Taiyuan Island is not small, if he takes this opportunity, he can incorporate the Taiyuan Island into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, this is undoubtedly a precedent for the Ming Dynasty to expand the territory in the past two hundred years, this credit is not just to recruit a pirate can be compared.

But the premise of all this lies in Xiaotian alone, if even Yu Xiaotian can't recruit An, then this matter is naturally rootless, there is no way to talk about it, if he wants to rely on the strength he currently has, even if he is given eight guts, he doesn't dare to think about expanding the territory.

So under the persuasion of everyone, Xiong Wencan had to press this idea, and when he saw Yu Xiaotian this time, he didn't mention anything about Taiyuan Island, and he didn't know about it at all.

Anyway, at the moment, it is very important for him to solve the troubles that Fujian is facing in front of him, rather than to think about the matter of Taiyuan Island further away, even if someone raises this matter afterwards, he can excuse himself from knowing this matter, as for if someone says that Yu Xiaotian has a heart of disobedience, it is also Yu Xiaotian's matter, and for him, the impact is not very big.

So in this Zhao'an, the thing that worried Yu Xiaotian the most was wiped out by both sides pretending to be confused.

Of course, Yu Xiaotian still made great concessions in terms of other territories that the sea wolves currently occupy along the coast of Fujian, and even included their original nest Nanri Island, he promised to give it up and return it to the Fujian official officers and soldiers for control.

The reason why Yu Xiaotian agreed to give up Nanri Island is actually very simple, since he and the Fujian officials tore their faces, the matter of his occupation of Nanri Island has been known to the world, whether it is Zhu Qinxiang or Zhu Yifeng, the purpose of attacking him at the beginning was to recover Nanri Island.

Now that he has accepted Zhao'an, there is no reason to continue to occupy Nanri Island and not retreat, which is also the main reason why he did not hesitate to raze Nanri Island to the ground.

But at present, although he promised to return Nanri Island to the Fujian government, but there is still room for operation in the future, as we all know, the Ming Dynasty currently has a very poor ability to control the islands along the coast, not to mention that he will become an official army in the future, as long as it is operated a little, when the time comes, Xiong Wencan nodded, sent the officers and troops stationed on Nanri Island, and used his people, then Nanri Island is actually equivalent to being within his actual control, and the big deal is to pay a little land tax to Fujian every year, which is not a big deal for him at all, So Yu Xiaotian generously agreed to this condition.

But on the issue of Weitou Bay, Yu Xiaotian did not give an inch, and resolutely refused to withdraw from Weitou Bay, Xiong Wencan did not dwell too much on this, because everyone understands people, Xiong Wencan also understands why Yu Xiaotian occupies the area of Weitou Bay, if he forces Yu Xiaotian to withdraw from Weitou Bay, then it is estimated that this Zhao'an matter can only be stopped, Weitou Bay is a golden mountain for Xiaotian, and Yu Xiaotian will not easily withdraw from Waitou Bay if he is killed.

What's more, after Yu Xiaotian accepts Zhao'an in the future, he must also find a place for him to settle down, and now he is just doing a favor, let Yu Xiaotian settle down in Weitou Bay, and hand over a few guards to him to garrison, all problems will not be a problem, as long as Yu Xiaotian is not a fool, he will naturally be given a share of the profit every year in the future, this is a big cake, rather than leaving it to others, it is better to leave it to Yu Xiaotian.

In addition to Weitou Bay, the sea wolf currently controls a lot of islands and territories along the coast, and this time Yu Xiaotian also generously gave up these territories, saying that as long as the negotiations are settled, he will order his subordinates to withdraw from these territories.

Of course, Haitan Island is an exception, because Haitan Island will play a very important role in the future, in addition to Haitan Island is a natural pasture, in addition to being a pretty good transit place, whether the sea wolf is transferred from Fujian land in the future, or from the north to collect immigrants, it is necessary to set up a transit point in the middle.

The area of Haitan Island is large enough to be used as a place for immigrants to rest and quarantine before going to Taiwan Island, so Yu Xiaotian of Haitan Island will not agree to back down.

At this point, the two sides were entangled for a while, but in the evening, Xiong Wencan summoned Yu Xiaotian alone, and the two sides talked secretly for about an hour, and the next day, Yu Xiaotian agreed to withdraw from Haitan Island.

However, in private, Xiong Wencan assured Yu Xiaotian that when Haitan Island is stationed in the garrison in the future, it will be transferred from Yu Xiaotian's subordinates, and in the future, he will restore a ranch on Haitan Island in the official name, and this ranch will also be under the control of Yu Xiaotian.

In this way, Haitan Island is actually a change of soup but not a change of medicine, and it was returned to the Fujian official on the surface, but in fact, it was handed over to Yu Xiaotian, and it was justifiably under the actual control of Yu Xiaotian, and both sides were very happy.

But on the matter of Yu Xiaotian's submission to the imperial court and the reorganization of the sea wolf troops, the two sides have reached a stalemate to a certain extent, Yu Xiaotian asked to give him 20,000 soldiers, this matter Xiong Wencan is very difficult, because there are so many total soldiers in Fujian, if Yu Xiaotian eats 20,000 at once, then it will undoubtedly cause dissatisfaction among other Fujian generals.

You must know that these generals are living by eating empty salaries, and the total salary in the entire Fujian is so much, so let Yu Xiaotian account for one-third of it at once, so the interests of other people will naturally be greatly affected, Xiong Wencan is a newcomer, and he has not yet gained a firm foothold in Fujian, so if he does this, it will definitely cause a great backlash.

Therefore, Xiong Wencan resolutely refused to agree to give Yu Xiaotian 20,000 soldiers, and at first only promised to give Yu Xiaotian 3,000 soldiers.

After secret negotiations between the two sides again that night, finally on the morning of the next day, this matter was finally finalized, Yu Xiaotian, as a coastal defense general, could have mastered the strength of a battalion, and the strength of a battalion of the Ming Dynasty was exactly 3,000 people, but Xiong Wencan "considered" that Yu Zhigao was arrested by the imperial court this time, and the consumption of the official army in Quanzhou Town was serious and needed to be replenished.

Yu Xiaotian happened to have both a naval army and a land division in his hands, so Xiong Wencan agreed to give Yu Xiaotian 6,000 soldiers, and finally Yu Xiaotian agreed to Xiong Wencan's condition.

As for the remaining tribes of the sea wolf, according to the normal statement, after Xiaotian is subdued, they will be disbanded on the spot or resettled on the spot, and the local government must cooperate in the resettlement.

This item is simply, even if Yu Xiaotian puts on an official uniform, it is impossible to disband the soldiers who are not easy to train under his command on the spot, except for a part of the officers and soldiers who will be officially converted, the rest can be left in the name of the merchant ship crew, even if there is not so much left, Tamsui City, Keelung Fort and Dagou Harbor and other places can completely accommodate them, so this item is just to say, he will definitely not trouble officials from all over the world to help him settle this group of brothers!

Although Yu Xiaotian did not fully achieve his goal in the end, he currently has nearly 20,000 subordinates, and most of the people will still rely on him to support him in the future, but with the stroke of Xiong Wencan's pen, he can still get 6,000 people from the Fujian government every year, which is quite good, so Yu Xiaotian can only do this.

After five consecutive days of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement, of course, there will be no written agreement, and the rest of the matter will depend on Xiong Wencan to operate.

After everything was negotiated, Yu Xiaotian did not delay any longer, and said goodbye to Xiong Wencan very politely, Xiong Wencan actually personally sent Xiaotian out of Tantou Town, and only then did the two sides say goodbye, watching Yu Xiaotian lead his men towards the south bank of the Minjiang River estuary.

Looking at the back of Yu Xiaotian and his party, Xiong Wencan slowly put away the smile on his face, and said to Qian Xiaocheng beside him: "Do you think this son can be of great use?" ”

Qian Xiaocheng was also looking at Yu Xiaotian and his party who were leaving, and after hearing Xiong Wencan's question, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "This person is not a thing in the pool, if you want to completely control it, I'm afraid it will be difficult!" ”

Xiong Wencan looked coldly at Yu Xiaotian and his party who were slowly retreating in front of him: "Yes! Although this son is vulgar on the surface, but in essence he is thoughtful, this time Zhao'an almost took advantage of it, I really don't know if what this official did this time is right! ”

Qian Xiaocheng saw that Xiong Wencan was in a bad mood, so he persuaded: "Adults don't have to worry too much, although the student does not deny that this person is a hero, but as long as my Daming is still there, this person can't make too big waves!"

As long as the adult attaches equal importance to his grace and power, and uses this person's words well, then this person will still be a help from the adult after all! As long as he agrees to recruit An, then the next adult only needs to use a little means, is it difficult to accept him? ”

Xiong Wencan turned his head to look at Qian Xiaocheng, and asked with a solemn face, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Qian Xiaocheng leaned over slightly, and whispered in Xiong Wencan's ear for a while, Xiong Wencan listened to the tightly locked brows, gradually soothed, and finally smiled: "Wonderful plan!" Clever plan indeed! In this way, why worry that this son is not of the same heart as me! That's it! ”
