Chapter 131: Yan Siqi

At present, Yu Xiaotian only has such a boat, first, he has no ability to eat this fleet, and at the same time, he doesn't want to delay any time on these people, so he ordered the temporary captain of the Flying Fish to drive the boat to cut in front of this fleet, arrogantly draw a beautiful arc in front of this fleet, look at this fleet again, and then turn to the direction of Nanri Island and sail at full speed.

And in this fleet, there is a big man with a beard on his face, and he is also carefully observing the Flying Fish where Yu Xiaotian is located.

They watched as the new ship moved nimbly through the waves of the sea, and at a speed they could not comprehend, it passed in front of their fleet at high speed, and in an arrogant posture it made a small circle under their noses, looked at their fleet, and then headed straight west.

"Oh my God! What kind of ship is this? How can it be so fast? Someone on board immediately exclaimed, pointing at the Exocet.

"I've never seen it, I've never seen a ship like this! It's really an eye-opener today, the first time I've seen a ship like this! It's fucking fast! Someone immediately said.

"Brother Yan, you are well-informed, have you ever seen this ship? What kind of ship is it? Someone asked the bearded man.

"No, I haven't seen it either, we've been in Hirado a lot over the years, and it's really hard to see! Now that I'm back here, it's really a matter of people! I didn't expect to open my eyes today, and I actually saw such a good boat! I just don't know who built this ship! The big man shook his head and replied, also with a look of envy.

"This ship looks a bit like a ship of the Taixi people, it is not the same as our Ming boat, our Ming boat is made of bamboo strips, and this boat looks like it should use the soft sails of the Taixi people! I don't know if it's a dry silk man or a ship of the Franc man! "Someone who thought he was clever and began to analyze it.

"Makes sense! This ship really doesn't look like it was made by our Ming Dynasty, but it really looks a bit like a ship of the Taixi people, but how did the Taixi people get here at this time? It looks like they're going to go to Fuzhou! What are they doing here? The big man surnamed Yan nodded and said.

"Master Yan, didn't that Zheng Yiguan under Shopkeeper Li go to us a few days ago? I heard that some time ago, the Ming official army and the red-haired people of Helan Kingdom fought a big battle in Penghu, could this ship be the boat of those red-haired people?

Zheng Yiguan said that now the red-haired people have also arrived at the Taiyuan, and they are going to build a city around the Taiyuan, and they may not be able to go to Fuzhou to do business! ”

This person who is called Yan Dangjia is not someone else, it is Yan Siqi who Yu Xiaotian was still thinking about seeing just now, and today he happened to take his fleet and planned to ship some goods to Fuzhou.

Yan Siqi was hunted down by the Japanese feudal lord and the shogunate because of the crime on the Japanese island of Kyushu, and after the defeat, he had to take his brothers and take more than a dozen boats to escape from Japan, and sailed from the Ryukyu Islands to Liuqiu Island, that is, the island of Taiwan.

After the defeat of the governor, Yan Siqi could no longer mix in the territory controlled by the Japanese, and discussed with his subordinates what to do, and someone proposed to let him take his brothers to Liuqiu Island, which is now Taiyuan Island, to find a place to settle.

His subordinates once went to a place on Taiyuan Island, and after landing, they saw that the land was fertile and beautiful, which was very suitable for farming, so he encouraged Yan Siqi to take them to find another way out after they went to settle down.

And Yan Siqi thought a lot, after listening to the words of his subordinates, he felt that this was also a good way, after all, Taiyuan Island was relatively close to Daming, and with the strait, you can go out and raise your legs to the coastal area of Fujian, where there are many ships on the route, and it is relatively close to their hometown, and it is also very convenient to recruit people.

So he listened to the advice of his subordinates, and after more than a month of sailing, he led a group of people all the way to Taiwan Island, and when they arrived on Taiwan Island, they first saw the place of Jilong Bay.

And seeing that this place has been occupied by people, and even a fort has been built on the island outside the mouth of Jilong Bay, and people have been stationed at the same time, Yan Siqi took people around outside Jilong Bay, trying to see who occupies this place. Soon a ship rushed out of Chicken Coop Bay to meet them.

Yan Siqi saw that these people who rushed out did not look like the official people of the Ming Dynasty, but like a group of pirates, and they didn't seem to be easy to mess with, so he didn't have a conflict with the blackheads, and after reporting their names, he led the fleet to leave Jilong Bay and sailed directly to the place where they were originally going to stay.

Recently, they have found a bay landing in some places south of Taichung, which is roughly located between Chiayi County and Yunlin County in the later Shishi, which belongs to the Pingtung Plain in Taiwan, which is considered an alluvial plain, and the land is fertile, which is very suitable for reclamation and farming.

And when Yan Siqi led the fleet to arrive here, a large area of wasteland here had not been developed, which made him overjoyed, and immediately led people to build a large number of buildings on the spot and began to build a village, so he was ready to take root and operate in this area.

But they also encountered trouble with the natives, who were very hostile to them when they saw that they were building and logging in this area, and gathered several nearby tribes to attack his stockade.

Yan Siqi saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly discussed with these natives, saying that they had no malicious intentions, and at the same time gave these natives a lot of gifts, and the natives saw that Yan Siqi and these people did not seem to be bad to them, so they demarcated their respective activity areas with them, and in the future, the well water did not interfere with the river water, and acquiesced to their existence.

Yan Siqi can be regarded as a preliminary foothold in the Bengang area, but he is also facing a lot of difficulties, he has just fled here from Japan, and his manpower is limited, but there are only more than 300 people, although he has some savings on hand, but it is far from enough for them to toss.

So he selected his subordinates to rush back to his hometown in the Zhangquan area, and tried to recruit a group of subordinates, and on the other hand, he led the fleet to the sea, reaching the sea in the Quanzhou area, and did several votes in a row, robbed a number of merchant ships, and fished a lot of goods.

Now, through acquaintances, they have contacted a businessman from Fuzhou, and they are ready to sell the goods they have in exchange for silver money to purchase the materials they need on land.

It just so happened that they came here today, and they bumped into Yu Xiaotian passing by here with the Flying Fish, and the two sides could be said to have passed by, and no one knew anyone, so they missed each other.

Yan Siqi is very envious of Yu Xiaotian's Flying Fish, there is no one who doesn't like clippers in this business, clippers mean that the efficiency of hijacking ships has been greatly improved for them, and the probability of escaping has also been greatly improved, but such a ship, they can only stare dryly, just take a look, want to get this kind of ship, in their hearts, except for the Taixi people, no one in Daming will build such a ship.

So after the Flying Fish disappeared into the sea, they could only sigh and continue to sail in the direction of Fuzhou.

"By the way, Yan Dangjia, on the sea in Fuzhou, Zheng Yiguan said that it is now controlled by a group of pirates who call themselves sea wolves, and this group of people is headed by a person surnamed Yu, and it is said that they are very powerful!

Some time ago, when we passed through Chicken Coop Bay, Chicken Coop Bay was occupied by this group of sea wolves, so it can be seen that their current strength should be quite powerful, otherwise their hands would not be able to stretch so far!

Moreover, Zheng Yiguan said that the maritime merchants who pass through Fuzhou and Funing nowadays have to pay what tolls for them, and each ship has to pay 80 taels to 150 taels of silver depending on the size of the ship, so that it can be allowed to pass on the sea surface of Fuzhou and Funing in three months!

If they stop us, should we do it with them, or pay money to buy a road? One of Yan Siqi's subordinates remembered something at this time and said to Yan Siqi.

Yan Siqi touched the beard on his chin and pondered, shook his head and said: "You are right, Yiguan also mentioned to me this surnamed Yu and his sea wolf, Zheng Yiguan has been very concerned about the movements of this group of sea wolves recently, and has asked a lot about them!"

This surnamed Yu is said to be not very old, not much older than an official, less than thirty years old, in the past two years, he has overturned the shark Zhang Hu who once dominated the Fuzhou area, and in the first half of this year, he went north to the Funing area, and killed Chen Jiu, the mixed river dragon on the Funing side, and dominated the sea surface in Fuzhou and Funing.

In this way, it can be seen that this person is really powerful! By no means ordinary characters! And the first official also said that this person is well-organized, and he is very brave in teaching his subordinates, although he seems to be rude when he speaks, but he is shrewd!

According to Zheng Yiguan's recent inquiry, it is rumored that this group of sea wolves has nearly 2,000 people and more than 100 sea ships, which shows that this person is not a person to provoke!

Fortunately, when we passed through Chicken Coop Bay, we didn't have any conflicts with them, otherwise it would have been really troublesome to come here this time!

In this case, we might as well go over to try our luck first, if we don't meet them, it's best, let's go back quickly, if they stop us, we don't have to turn their faces with them, first borrow the face of an official, melt it and see, if it really doesn't work, this toll money should be given to them!

At the moment, we are strong dragons who do not suppress the head snake, when we reach their territory, we can't fight them, heroes don't suffer immediate losses, and when we grow stronger, see if they dare to bully us! Don't talk about it, speed up, I see that the weather will change in the next two days, and it will be windy! Don't get into trouble here! ……”
