Chapter 137: Fearless

Next, how to solve this problem has become one of the biggest problems in front of him, he has been secretly thinking about this matter during the recuperation period these days, and now he has basically made up his mind.

So he sent an order to let the black head at Keelung Fort make more efforts to pack up these Spanish captives, let them suffer enough, experience what it was like to be treated as slaves, and after a few days, send them to Nanri Island by boat, and he wanted to have a good "talk" with these captives face to face.

As for Manila, Yu Xiaotian, as the victor, of course will not send someone to contact them and negotiate with them, but he must release a message to those West Banks to let them know that this matter is not over for the time being, and then it depends on how they choose.

So he ordered the councillor to spread some rumors to the West Banks through some of the maritime merchants with whom they dealed, and the ships that were going to Manila to do business.

The rumors contain bad true and false information, first of all, it is rumored that the sea wolves are very angry about the battle of Chicken Coop Bay, and they are fighting hard, gathering tens of thousands of men and horses and hundreds of ships, and at the same time raising food and ammunition and other supplies, and the next step is to send troops to Manila to teach these damned West Banks a lesson.

In addition, rumors also include that the sea wolves do not want to continue to be enemies of the Spaniards, and intend to contact and negotiate with them to resolve the friction.

There were also rumors that the sea wolves were going to block the Chinese route to Manila, prohibiting Chinese merchants from going to Manila to trade with the Spaniards, and instead asking them to turn to Dayuan to trade with the Dutch in the future.

Although there are true and false in these things, after reaching the Spaniards in Manila, it will definitely be able to greatly deter them, at least these rumors contain a certain message of reconciliation released by the sea wolf, as long as these Spaniards are not stupid, they should be able to grasp something useful from them.

Of course, the necessary pressure was still to be experienced by the Spaniards, and Yu Xiaotian sent several dhows to the vicinity of Dongsha Island for a period of time, specifically attacking Chinese merchant ships from Guangdong and Fujian to Manila for trading.

Of course, this kind of attack does not require them to take down the merchant ships and bring back the ships with their goods, but mainly to create a false impression for the Chinese merchant ships that went to Manila to do business, that is, the sea wolves have begun to block the Manila route.

As soon as the news reached Manila by the attacked ships, the Spaniards should have been nervous, and when the time came, they would not have to worry about not bowing their heads.

As for whether the Spaniards would send more fleets and troops to report back to the sea wolves, Yu Xiaotian had no worries about this matter at all.

Because he now knows very well that the Spanish fleet that went to Chicken Coop Bay is so strong that he didn't expect it at first, otherwise it wouldn't have fought so badly.

Judging from the size of this fleet and the size of the infantry it brought, this time the Spanish governor of Manila had already taken out all the strength he could, probably because they probably expected that they might clash with the sea wolves during the battle for Chicken Coop Bay, so they did their best for the first time, so that they did not have any reserve strength at hand.

The Spanish did not have many large warships in East Asia, at best, there were some armed merchant ships coming and going, and this time they pulled out six of them at once, and left five on the spot in Jilong Bay, and only ran back.

Therefore, the Spaniards have no way at all now, and then send out so many human ships to find the sea wolf for revenge, unless they break the kettle and don't even want Luzon Island, and use all the Spanish garrisons on the entire Luzon Island to come to Jilong Bay or Nanri Island to retaliate against him Yu Xiaotian.

If that's the case, he is willing to raise his hands to welcome, even if the Spaniards pour out, the number of ships they can use is very limited, unless they unite a large number of Chinese pirates operating in the South China Sea, otherwise they don't have this kind of capital, Yu Xiaotian is happy to fight with them again, and add more useful prisoners to himself.

But he believed that the Spaniards were not crazy, they would never do this, because Luzon was more important to the Spaniards than the island of Taiwan, after all, they had occupied Luzon for many years, and they had established a complete ruling order there, and they would never be reluctant to do that if they gave up there, they would never dare to do that!

So as he expected, the Spaniards would definitely bow to him this time, as long as he could make the Spaniards bow their heads, then he could get more benefits from the Spaniards, and his biggest weight, which was also these Spanish captives, could be sold for a good price at that time.

Yu Xiaotian, who had just recovered from his injury, was soon drowned in all kinds of complicated affairs, because in the nearly two months between he led the troops to Jilong Bay and until he recovered from his injury, the situation in the entire coastal area of Fujian had changed greatly.

What surprised the people of the Sea Wolf Department the most was that Chu Cailao actually sent someone to Nanri Island to ask to see Yu Xiaotian, but Yu Xiaotian was still seriously injured at that time, and he was stopped from seeing him.

But Liu Lao Liu still figured out what Chu Cai wanted to do when he sent people to Nanri Island, and it turned out that Chu Cailao's life in Zhangzhou was very difficult during this time.

Since he was defeated by the sea wolf and fled back to Dongshan Island, Chu Cailao's prestige and strength have been greatly lost and weakened, although he tried to recover his strength last year, sharpening his knife Huo Huo was ready to find Yu Xiaotian for revenge, but as time passed, Chu Cailao sadly found that he was not the opponent of the sea wolf anyway, because he couldn't get so many Hongyi cannons, let alone the kind of clipper of the sea wolf.

Even if he has a lot of hands, but when he fights with a sea wolf, he will only be beaten by riding, and he will only bring humiliation on himself, and he will not get back half of the field.

So after thinking about this, Chu Cailao's desire for revenge gradually faded, but fortunately, after Xiaotian took his compensation, he did not press him step by step, so that Chu Cailao's life could still be lived, at least in the south of Zhangzhou to the coast of Chaozhou, it was still Chu Cailao's territory, and the sea wolf did not continue to stretch his hand into his territory.

So for more than a year, Chu Cailao and the sea wolf have been at peace with each other, and there has been no more conflict, when the sea wolf's merchant ship sailed into the sea controlled by Chu Cailao, Chu Cailao strictly ordered his subordinates to put bright spots, as long as they see a ship with the sea wolf flag, they must not touch a finger, and even try to escort them for a while, so that they can leave the sea under his control safely.

Chu Cailao was really scared, he was afraid that if he was not careful, the merchant ship of the sea wolf would have an accident on his land, and Yu Xiaotian would be angry with him, and under the pretext of raising troops against him, he would also drive him away from here, in that case, he would be completely beaten back to his original form, and who would treat him as a character on this sea in the future?

So in this way, the two sides were fine, but it lasted until the end of last year, when Chu Cailao found that he had met a strong opponent again and began to challenge his current position.

That is the new Zheng Yiguan, after Zheng Yiguan took over his father-in-law Li Dan's plate, his strength suddenly increased countless times, and he tilted the focus of his business to the Fujian area, trying to play a territory that belongs to him here, the strength of the sea wolf is strong, Zheng Yiguan does not dare to challenge the authority of the sea wolf.

So Zheng Yiguan hit his boss Yan Siqi with the idea, but Yan Siqi won Yu Xiaotian's support, so that Zheng Yiguan's attempt to control the Bengang area finally failed.

So Zheng Yiguan tried to squeeze Chu Cailao out of here, grabbed Chu Cailao's territory, and occupied the sea surface around Zhangzhou and Chaozhou as his territory.

How could this Chu Cai Lao easily give up his territory to Zheng Yiguan, and the two sides naturally fought on the sea in the area of Zhangzhou and Chaozhou during this time.

Originally, with Chu Cailao's strength, he was not necessarily afraid of Zheng Yiguan, but since Chu Cailao gave Yu Xiaotian for nothing, his ability to control his subordinates began to be seriously weakened, and Zheng Yiguan's strength increased dramatically.

So Chu Cai Lao thought of his former enemy Yu Xiaotian, because he heard that Yan Siqi had won Yu Xiaotian's support, and from the sea wolf, he spent a lot of money to buy a batch of Western-style cannons and equip them on their ship, and the sea wolf even sent some artillery instructors to teach Yan Siqi's men artillery skills and help Yan Siqi organize the army.

With the support of Yu Xiaotian, Yan Siqi actually fought a tie with Zheng Yiguan when his strength was not as good as Zheng Yiguan, so that Zheng Yiguan was never able to do anything to Yan Siqi

So Chu Cai also wanted to buy some artillery from the sea wolf to strengthen his own strength, at least not let Zheng Yiguan force him into a cornered situation.

But after he sent people to Nanri Island, he didn't see Yu Xiaotian, and was driven back by Liu Laoliu, in the eyes of everyone, Chu Cailao's idea is simply a fool's dream, the sea wolf and Chu Cailao are enemies, although the two sides are safe for the time being, but Wang Hong's death is inseparable from Chu Cailao, if it weren't for Chu Cailao's offense, Wang Hong would not have been killed by Ma Feng.

So now Chu Cai Lao wants to ask the sea wolf for help and buy a cannon from the sea wolf, which is just a joke, so Liu Lao Liu did not alarm Yu Xiaotian, who was seriously injured, and directly rejected the request made by Chu Cai's old subordinates.

But after Yu Xiaotian is now recovering from his injury, he heard about it, and his attitude was very ambiguous, and he was still very interested in this matter, which made everyone a little bit unsure whether Yu Xiaotian burned his head because of a fever during his serious injury.
