The trick Chen Sipan used to use has also been used by pirates and Japanese pirates in history, and the effect is quite good. After all, the coastline of the Ming Dynasty is so long that it is impossible for heavy troops to be guarded everywhere.

At that time, the famous anti-Japanese generals Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang were both ruined by this trick. It was not that they could not defeat pirates and Japanese pirates, but that pirates and Japanese pirates did not fight them at all. The coastline was so long that people could not go around, and they could run away if they could not beat them. No matter how powerful you were, it would be useless.

Their anti-Japanese war was not smooth. At the beginning, they were also tricked by pirates and Japanese pirates. Many times they were punished by the court because of the unfavorable anti-Japanese war, especially Yu Dayou, who was lifted up and rubbed down, and then rubbed down again. I don’t know how many times they were rubbed.

Yang Cong originally tried to prevent pirates and Japanese pirates from playing this trick, so he tried his best to build new warships to seize control of the sea. As long as the sea area is under control, even if the pirates and Japanese pirates want to play this trick, they can't do anything. After all, they have to pass through the sea to harass everywhere. If the sea route is blocked, they will not be able to play any tricks.

Unfortunately, Nantai Shipyard has barely built three fleets. The seas of Nanzhili, Zhejiang and Fujian were basically controlled by the Ming Navy, but the seas of Guangdong and Shandong were still blank.

Chen Sipan decided to give it a try when he saw that there were not many opportunities.

He discussed with the pirate leaders for a while, and finally decided that everyone's subordinates would gather near his nest first, and after counting the number of ships and the number of people participating in the battle, they would decide which places to attack.

His old nest is more than this small island. The Jilong Port on the south side of the island and the nearby areas are under his control. After all, his subordinates are nearly 10,000, and they cannot be raised by just robbing. They also have to farm and produce grain.

However, the people on Dongfan Island did not get along well with them. The two sides often had conflicts over land competition. The surrounding areas of Jilong Port were not very safe, so he built his nest on this relatively safe Sheliao Island.

If we want to calculate the "territory" near Jilong Port, he still has a considerable territory, and it is no problem to live in tens of thousands of people for the time being. This is also the reason why other pirates are willing to gather here, because the territory of other pirates is not as big as that of his, and they can't tolerate tens of thousands of people at all.

If these more than ten pirates really want to gather together, there will be at least 30,000 to 40,000 people. If they rushed forward and ran to Guangdong to rob everywhere, could Liu Xian deal with it?

If they really rushed forward as planned, Liu Xian would definitely not be able to deal with it, because Guangdong's coastline was too long, more than thousands of miles away. If the pirates and Japanese pirates were really dispersed into more than ten groups of landing at the same time, his ten thousand men would not be able to handle it even if they ran to death.

In other words, Yang Cong seems to be about to be miserable again. If Guangdong really blooms everywhere, will he be masturbated by Jiajing?

Fortunately, he was not unprepared either.

After the discussion, the pirate leaders took a boat back to their nests to transfer troops. It seemed that everything was normal, but no one expected that one of the pirate leaders, Wang Dan, did not return to his nest. He actually took his "confidants" to the clutch and headed straight to Quanzhou Prefecture in a fast ship!

This guy has actually been sold by Yang Cong, or in other words, his lair has been taken over by Yang Cong. His subordinates, his family, and his family, are almost all in Yang Cong's hands. The one who followed him to the party was not his pirates or Japanese pirates, but Deng Cheng, Qianhu, and his elites!

He had been in trouble for eight lifetimes. When he followed Lu Qi and Shen Jiu to block Wang Zhi, he not only did not get anything, but also broke a sea boat. All the men on the boat were taken away by the officers and soldiers.

This is not the most unlucky thing. The most unlucky thing is that his subordinates are all corrupt, and they were intimidated by the officers and soldiers and provided their location in their nest.

His old nest is on an island in the waters near Zhejiang. Once the location is exposed, the result can be imagined.

Not long after, the officers and soldiers came to the door.

He was able to fight only hundreds of people and only a few sea boats. How could he be the opponents of thousands of officers and soldiers and dozens of warships? They were almost defeated by the officers and soldiers without any resistance.

At that time, he thought everything was over, and he was welcomed to the capital and was executed after the autumn, but he never thought that Governor Yang Cong not only did not kill him, but also returned all his sea ships to him, and arranged hundreds of strong "confidants' guards" for him.

Of course, these guards are not here to protect him, but to monitor him.

He also knew that if he did not honestly contact other pirates as the Governor told him and was responsible for the officers and soldiers, then not only him, but also his subordinates, his family, and even his subordinates would be caught by the Governor!

He was forced to be the inner supporter of the officers and soldiers, but the other pirate leaders never doubted him because he was too active. Not only did he go when he surrounded Wang Zhi last time, he also actively contacted pirates from all walks of life, and seemed to want to take revenge. Who would doubt such an "activist"?

Lu Qi did not doubt him, and Shen Jiu did not doubt him. Chen Sipan even thought of him the first time he summoned the pirate leader to discuss.

No one expected that this guy would be the inner support of the officers and soldiers. At this moment, their plans were exposed!

When Yang Cong received the news, he was really shocked. If these guys succeeded, his position as governor would be really lingering. After all, no matter how much pirates and Japanese pirates were making trouble, they would not rush ashore at the same time to rob them wildly. If these tens of thousands of pirates were to be dispersed to the coast of Guangdong, even if Jiajing wanted to spare him, Yan Song would not miss this opportunity.

Fortunately, he had the foresight and arranged for Wang Dan as an insider.

Wang Dan not only brought Chen Sipan's overall plan, but also roughly learned about the strength of these pirates.

Although these more than ten pirates sound scary, they actually don’t have many ships under their command. Except for Chen Sipan, Lu Qi and Shen Jiu have twenty or thirty sea ships under their command. The other pirate leaders do not have much wealth. Each person has only a few sea ships, which means that all the pirates gathered all the sea ships.

This is a very important information. Because there are not many pirate ships, it will take a long time for them to assemble all the people to Chen Sipan. According to Wang Dan's general estimate, it will take at least more than a month for these pirates to gather all those who can participate in the war.

There are more things that can be done in more than a month. Yang Cong was able to assemble all new warships of the Fujian Navy, Zhejiang Navy and Nanzhili Navy, and also transfer all the elite infantrymen from the three provinces.
