And Yan Siqi occupies this Bengang area, but it is undoubtedly a very good place, this is not under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, but it is very close to Fujian Liangguang, you can attack and retreat, you can defend, you can get a handful if you can fight, you can sneak back to Taiyuan Island if you can't beat it, and it is a very good choice for him to take over here.

But the trouble is that this is Yan Siqi's territory, Yan Siqi is his nominal eldest brother, they have a righteous relationship, the rivers and lakes have always been very taboo about committing such things as follows, even if he is strong, if he kills Yan Siqi and occupies it instead, it will definitely make many people despise him in the future if it damages his reputation.

In this way, if he wants to develop and grow in the future, he will definitely be despised, and I am afraid that some people among his subordinates will be cold to him, and when the time comes, some people will follow his example and turn around against him.

Therefore, Zheng Yiguan was more restrained at this time, and he never dared to break with Yan Siqi, maintaining the relationship between the two sides on the surface.

But he also knew that it would never be possible for Yan Siqi and him to return to the previous relationship, both sides now have a big problem in their hearts, and it is only a matter of time before they turn against each other, sooner or later, he will turn his face with Yan Siqi.

Now that Yan Siqi has suddenly hooked up with Yu Xiaotian, and secretly bought the cannon from Yu Xiaotian's hands, even if he thinks about it with his ass, he can figure out why Yan Siqi will suddenly spend a lot of money to buy these things now, it must be that Yan Siqi wants to secretly improve his strength and obtain the ability to fight against him, and may even kill him before him.

After learning the news, Zheng Yiguan immediately felt very nervous, he was quite aware of Yu Xiaotian's strength, Chu Cailao was planted in Yu Xiaotian's hands, which gave him a clear understanding of Xiaotian's strength, during this time he has been collecting news about the sea wolf, and has learned that the sea wolf can cast its own cannon, and the cannon cast is mostly the shape of all the Western-style cannons of the Taixi people, with great power, long range and high accuracy.

This is also the reason why he would rather grab territory with Chu Cailao first after his strength increased greatly, and did not dare to go to Xinghua Mansion and Fuzhou Mansion to carry out activities easily, that is, he was very jealous of the sea wolf and did not dare to provoke Yu Xiaotian easily.

Now that Yu Xiaotian wants to sell Yan Siqi a large number of cannons, it is a threat to him, he doesn't want Yan Siqi to suddenly become stronger now, which is not in his interests.

Although Zheng Yiguan is not very old, he has been mixing in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and of course he understands that the fast thugs are slow, so he does not allow such a situation to occur, threatening his status and survival.

So he immediately gathered his cronies and began to discuss how to solve this problem, Zheng Python and others heard it, and many people said that they would simply come first, turn their faces with Yan Siqi, kill Yan Siqi, and directly grab Yan Siqi's territory, and those who are willing to follow Zheng Yiguan in the future will stay, and those who are unwilling to follow Zheng Yiguan will be killed and pulled down directly.

This method seems to be feasible, but for Zheng Yiguan, it is not realistic, because although Yan Siqi's strength is not as strong as him, his prestige is very high, and his brothers are quite loyal to him, and he has a group of hardcore supporters, and Yan Siqi's strength is not as weak as ordinary people think.

If he blatantly makes a move, he must summon all the strength from everywhere, which is not something that can be done in a while, and such a big movement will definitely not be able to hide from Yan Siqi, Yan Siqi has now raised his guard against him, from the fact that he secretly went to buy cannons this time and concealed Zheng Yiguan, it can be seen that Yan Siqi is going to use these things to deal with him in the future.

And Yan Siqi also strengthened his vigilance during this time, gathered up his cronies, and stayed in Bengang and didn't go out much, here in Bengang, Yan Siqi's strength is not weaker than his Zheng Yiguan's strength here, and even stronger than his strength, so once Yan Siqi finds out that Zheng Yiguan is going to make a move, he will choose to strike first if he doesn't make it, and when they fight, it may not be necessary for anyone to die.

So it is unrealistic to do Yan Siqi blatantly now, and in a short period of time, he will not be able to mobilize such a large amount of strength to have a showdown with Yan Siqi.

But just watching Yan Siqi transport so much silver to Nanri Island and hand it over to Yu Xiaotian and buy the cannon back, Zheng Yiguan felt too unwilling, so he discussed with his subordinates, and finally thought of a way.

That is to intercept the ships sent by Yan Siqi to deliver the silver, anyway, the sea is very big, as long as they do it cleanly, block these boats, kill all the people on the boats, and rob the silver, then even if Yan Siqi suspects that he did it, there is no evidence, once Yan Siqi wants to turn his face with him, then he will find an opportunity, and when the time comes, he will concentrate all his strength, in the name of Yan Siqi's harm to his brothers, kill Yan Siqi, and he will be able to justifiably take this stupid port area into his pocket.

This method can be regarded as a ruthless move, and it can kill two birds with one stone, not only robbing the silver, but also forcing Yan Siqi to turn his face first.

So Zheng Yiguan immediately handed over this matter to his brother Zheng Python to be responsible, and ordered Zheng Python to sneak out of Bengang overnight, gather more than a dozen ships belonging to him and capable men outside, ambush on the sea, wait for Yan Siqi to send out the ship carrying silver, and then follow them out of this area, see the opportunity, and take it down in one fell swoop, as for the people on the boat, needless to say, in case someone leaks the news in the future, all of them are killed and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

But the only news that Zheng Yiguan didn't hear was that Yan Siqi had already guarded against Zheng Yiguan's hand, and sent Chen Xun to secretly go to sea in advance to find Yu Xiaotian on Nanri Island, and asked Yu Xiaotian to send someone over to catch their silver ship and escort them to Nanri Island.

Zheng python quietly recruited a group of ships and subordinates belonging to them outside, starting yesterday, they were assembled in the sea area outside Ben Harbor on standby, last night they first found a remote place to rest, and before dawn they took people over, and ambushed on the sea outside Ben Harbor, just waiting for the ships sent by Yan Siqi to transport silver to come out.

Sure enough, in the early hours of the morning, the three Yan Siqi ships mysteriously loaded heavy boxes, left Bengang after daylight, and after a little turn outside Bengang, they didn't find anything abnormal, so they turned the rudder and sailed in the direction of Nanri Island.

Since Zheng Python debuted with Zheng Yiguan, he is known as a bold and brave martial artist, with his youth and strength, he is good at using a steel knife, and he often sacrifices his life to sumo, which is very powerful, so whether it is under Zheng Yiguan or when he was under Li Dan, he is very admired.

And now Zheng Yiguan's subordinates all regard Zheng Python as their second leader, and they listen to his call very much, this time these subordinates mobilized by Zheng Python, after hearing what Zheng Yiguan wanted them to do, they all geared up, exerted their strength, and wanted to do a good job.

Even if it's not for Zheng Yiguan, they guys have to fight for themselves, because when Zheng Yiguan asked them to come over to do this, they said first, as long as they did a good job, then they would give them one of the silver taels they robbed this time.

It's not a lot, but the base is large! The silver that Yan Siqi shipped to Nanri Island this time was as high as 40,000 taels, and the first achievement was 4,000 taels, which was distributed to everyone, which was not a decimal number, and it could make each of them a small fortune.

The saying that people die for money and birds die for food is a famous saying through the ages, and the subordinates brought by Zheng Python have already sharpened their knives at this time and are ready to be ruthless.

When he heard that Shangdou reported to him that Yan Siqi's three boats had left Bengang and turned around and sailed in the direction of Nanri Island, Zheng Python smiled and waved his big hand: "Okay! Let them go first! Let's follow them from afar, and when we go farther, we're in the middle of it! ”

More than a dozen Zheng Yiguan's ships, after hearing the order, immediately began to raise their sails and turn the rudder, and also began to move in the direction of Nanri Island, but they were not in a hurry to catch up, but they only kept at a distance beyond the sight distance of the three Yan Siqi's silver transport ships, so that a small boat, at the outermost part of their fleet, could only vaguely see the three boats, in case they were lost, so that Yan Siqi's three silver transport ships could not be found at all, there was such a fleet, which was parallel to them on their side, eyeing them and preparing to attack them.

After sailing for about an hour or two, the ship began to gradually leave the visual range on the shore of Taiyuan Island and entered the deeper waters of the Taiwan Strait, which was no longer on the main channel, and there were basically no ships in sight, except for the blue water, only the rolling white waves and the occasional seabirds in the sky.

Zheng Python led the fleet to start accelerating, rushed to the side front of Yan Siqi's three boats from the side, and seized the favorable wind direction, if you want to rob the ship at sea, in the case of the speed of the ship, the most important thing is to grab the wind, only after grabbing the favorable wind direction, it is possible to rob the ship you want to rob, this is Zheng Python, who has been active at sea for many years, he is naturally very sophisticated.

When their fleet grabbed the limelight, at this time they were already in the front position of the side of Yan Siqi's three silver ships, and they basically had the conditions to start, and if they pounced on it with enough wind at this time, Yan Siqi's three ships had no chance to escape their pursuit.

If it is a straight-line distance from Bengang to Nanri Island, it is about three or four hundred miles away, but the sailing ship is not as good as the ships with engines in later generations, and can sail directly to the destination in a straight line at sea.

Sailing ships must constantly adjust the sails and rudders on the sea, take a zigzag route, so as to use the wind direction, to provide power to the boat, so that the ship can go against the wind, Chinese sailing ships have certain advantages in this regard, but the problem is that their range is much longer, and the speed of the ship will be slower.
