Nanri Island is forty or fifty miles south of Treasure Island, which is close to the distance on the sea, so Yu Xiaotian arrived at Nanri Island in less than a day.

When they arrived at Nanri Island, they felt the disparity in strength between the two sides, and before they reached within ten miles of Nanri Island, a boat with the banner of Zhang Hu blocked their way.

This boat is a dhow, on the surface it looks like a fishing boat, the displacement of the boat is not large, the speed of the boat is average, if you don't hang out the signature red flag used by Zhang Hu, ordinary people will basically treat them as fishermen's fishing boats, but in Zhang Hu's hands, this kind of boat is obviously used by him as a sentinel boat for looking out for the wind, but it can also cover people's eyes and ears.

When it was discovered that Yu Xiaotian's boat was sailing to Nanri Island, the fishing boat belonging to Zhang Hu's subordinates still swaggered to block Yu Xiaotian's way, and someone stood at the bow of the boat and shouted loudly, while ordering Yu Xiaotian's ship to drop sail and stop the boat, while asking them about their origin and identity.

Yu Xiaotian looked at the boat, told the subordinates on the ship to calm down a little, put away their edge, most of them were driven into the cabin, and then ordered the sails to be lowered, and after approaching, they reported their identities and intentions.

When he heard that Yu Xiaotian's boat was the ship of the sea wolf, Zhang Hu's subordinates on the boat blocking the road showed a little respect, and the leader who took the lead looked at Yu Xiaotian and his boat, hugged his fists and said: "It turns out that you are the sea wolf!" Why didn't you come to the pier until now? Don't you put us in the eyes of Zhang Da? ”

Yu Xiaotian hurriedly explained with a smiling face, and told this guy that he had made an appointment with Wang Hong, the three masters of them, and came to visit the dock a few years ago.

The leader of Zhang Hu's subordinates nodded and said, "It turned out that Wang San was in charge of the house, so it would be easy to do!" Come on! Follow my ship, and I'll take you there!" What a misunderstanding in the province! ”

Yu Xiaotian's boat and the guy's boat were close together, and he sent ten taels of silver over, and put down a can of wine on the fishing boat.

As the saying goes, raise your hand and don't hit the smiling person, Yu Xiaotian understands the role of silver money to open the way, so he doesn't care about some small money, with these ten taels of silver and a jar of wine as a meeting gift, Zhang Hu's subordinates on the boat have a much better face, nodded again and again, set sail again, and led the way for Yu Xiaotian's ship in front, and kept heading towards Nanri Island.

Nanri Island is very large, at least much larger than the Treasure Island that Yu Xiaotian now occupies, formerly known as Nanyi Mountain, the area of the island is dozens of square kilometers, it is the third largest island in the coastal area of Fujian, under the jurisdiction of Xinghua Prefecture in Fujian, and it is also the largest island in the coastal area of Xinghua Prefecture, and it is an important place to control the north-south sea passage in Fujian, but it is a pity that the maritime ban policy of the Ming Dynasty has not paid attention to such an important island, so that it has fallen into the control of pirates like Zhang Hu.

According to Liu Laoliu, very early on Nanri Island, the Fujian side of the Ming Dynasty built a Nanri Mountain Fortress on the island in order to prepare for the Japanese, and there were nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers stationed on the island, but later it was actually on the grounds that it was not easy to support on the lonely water, the water village was removed, and it was sent to Shicheng, which is across the water, and merged into the Qingshan Inspection Division.

In recent years, the trouble has gradually lightened, Zhang Hu led people to occupy here, and became a local overlord who occupies the island as the king in this area, and the influence of the force is very wide, and it can reach the mouth of the Minjiang River in the north, and control the Meizhou Island area in the south, the government also sent troops to try to suppress him the year before last, but was defeated by Zhang Hu, and the government is quiet, as long as Zhang Hu does not make too much trouble, he will turn a blind eye to him, and don't care about him anymore.

Zhang Hu's experience of defeating the official army in his early years made him even more arrogant, faintly claiming to be the overlord of this area, often raiding villages along the coast, and often hijacking ships, and becoming a prestige on the island.

And Zhang Hu's Dazhai is located in the northwest corner of the north of Nanri Island, which has also become a place where the surrounding pirate groups must come.

Speaking of Zhang Hu's village is a pirate's water village, but in the past few years, some businessmen have gradually come here to do business after hanging up Zhang Hu, and through trading with Zhang Hu and the surrounding pirates, they have obtained the goods they have robbed, and then they have made a profit, so in the past two years, this place is a bit like a town, and the ships coming and going are not too few.

It's a pity that Zhang Hu is not very good at business, and he is too greedy for money, and for the peers who come to him to trade, the tap is very large, so that many pirates would rather go to Dalian Island to trade than come here to trade, so after reaching a certain scale here, the scale of commerce and trade can no longer be expanded, otherwise take advantage of the unique conditions here, and this place will definitely be quite lively.

Yu Xiaotian followed the boat and slowly sailed towards Nanri Island, while sorting out all kinds of information about Zhang Hu that he had heard during this time in his mind, looking at such a large Nanri Island from afar, he couldn't help but sigh that it was a pity for this place, if he sat here in a big place, he would definitely be able to run this place into a rather prosperous business place, at least he could make Nanri Island a place that could be used as his rear base.

Yu Xiaotian has always regretted that when he fell into the sea, he didn't bring the high-powered telescope on the ship, otherwise with that guy, he would have been able to carefully observe the situation along Nanri Island from a distance.

However, as he approached Nanri Island, the pilot ship began to turn, and Yu Xiaotian was given a chance to observe Nanri Island nearby, the huge Nanri Island, as far as he knew, had at least tens of thousands of people on the island in the future, but now it seems that the coast of the island is very desolate, and there is not a single village in sight, and occasionally you can see individual abandoned villages, and you can't see a single figure.

According to preliminary estimates, the former residents of this island were either plagued by the Japanese invaders, or they were forced to survive here by this Zhang Hu, and moved back to the land, which turned the huge Nanri Island into a deserted place, and Yu Xiaotian couldn't help but secretly scolded Zhang Hu for being a fool.

Nanri Island Water Village, the scale is much larger than the Treasure Island Yu Xiaotian Water Village several times, the area is estimated to be hundreds of acres, as a fortification, also built the wall, but the height of the wall is not high, basically it is a wooden wall, only a few places, is made of stones, the defense ability is not necessarily higher than Yu Xiaotian's small village.

No wonder when Wang Hong went to Treasure Island some time ago, he was surprised by Xiaotian's village, it turned out that their village here was indeed not built well.

However, the wharf here is still built in a good way, Zhang Hu took advantage of the topography here, built several trestle bridges on the seaside, which can be used for ships to dock and load goods, at most one time, more than ten ships can be docked, but unfortunately the utilization rate of the wharf here is very low, only two trestle bridges are docked with ships, and the rest of the ships are moored in the bay nearby, which seems to be chaotic.

Under the guidance of the boat in front, Yu Xiaotian did not encounter any more interrogation and trouble on the way over, only one or two boats approached them curiously and looked at them, and under the explanation of the sentry boat in front, they did not find Yu Xiaotian trouble, and left directly.

After leaning on the trestle, Yu Xiaotian, under the leadership of the leader who guided him, took a few subordinates and carried a large gift box down to the trestle and walked towards the stockade.

After Yu Xiaotian said the gate of the water village, he made his intention clear, and handed over a post, please see Zhang Hu.

The keeper of the village asked him to wait, and entered the village with his prayer post, and Yu Xiaotian talked to the leader who led the way for him.

The leader who met them was actually a very small leader under Zhang Hu, who couldn't hang up at all, so he could only take a fishing boat, wander on the sea, and act as the eyes and ears of the island.

So this guy was very satisfied with Xiaotian's generosity, and after a few words of conversation after going ashore, he became enthusiastic about Xiaotian, and pointed fingers at Yu Xiaotian to introduce their place.

is similar to what Wang Hong said at the beginning, Zhang Hu has as many as seven or eight hundred people under his command, and sometimes once necessary, he can also gather other peers around him to help him, and at most he can gather one or two thousand people, dozens of boats, and even land to attack a small county town or a large town, so the strength is very strong.

And in the past two years, Zhang Hu has had his subordinates to give him legs, and he has gradually become a lot lazy, and he rarely takes people out to sea to plunder in person, and more often, most of the time he stays on the island, living a drunken life and dreaming of death, which is very comfortable.

The little boss didn't dare to say this, but his words also revealed the kind of envy for Zhang Hu, but there was not much respect for him, which made Yu Xiaotian realize again that Zhang Hu's control over his subordinates was not high, otherwise a small leader would not dare to say these things in front of outsiders, and he was not at all guarded.

After a long time, the minions who went in with the worship post came out, and said coldly to Xiaotian: "Our big boss doesn't have time to see you at this time, let you wait in the village, and I will summon you tomorrow if I have time!" ”

Yu Xiaotian smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that Zhang Hu's fight is really not small, if he doesn't come, he won't come, and after he comes, he hasn't seen him yet, let him hang here like this, I don't know if Lu Dao deliberately gave him a dismount, or if he really didn't have time to see him.

So he had to nod and agree, and was taken to the village by the minions, and led to the front of a courtyard, and handed over to a steward here, this is a post house set up by Zhang Hu in the village, and it should be called a guest house in the future! The steward is also called the steward, and is considered the director of the guest house.

The steward was quite polite to Xiaotian, and let him and a few of his men into the courtyard, and arranged two rooms for him and his men to live temporarily, but told him that they had to pay the bills for their food and drink here, and if they needed water or food on the ship, it would also cost money.

Yu Xiaotian scolded even more secretly in his heart, this Zhang Hu is really big enough for his peers, and he doesn't take people like them in his eyes at all, the first time he came to worship the dock, he actually let him sit on the cold bench first, eat a closed door, stop here They don't entertain well, they actually want silver for everything, and take the opportunity to make more, it is really into the money eye.
