When they heard this, they turned their eyes to him. Liu Runlin said: "In the past few days, we have dealt with him, and I have found a problem. Even his current strength can only maintain the direction north of Taiwan. So I think we should take advantage of his inability to look south and raise another pirate south of Taiwan! In this way, the balance between the north and the south will make it easier for us to control these pirates! ”

When everyone heard this, they felt that it made sense, and they began to discuss it. Each of them recommended the pirates they mastered, and for a time there was a dispute.

These people are extremely shrewd, as long as the pirates under their control become the overlord of the southern seas, then their own benefits will naturally be inexhaustible! But how could anyone else agree to such a thing? So the situation was stalemate for a while.

and so on, everyone quieted down. Liu Runlin said: "Everyone, I think it's better for everyone to put out their own careful thinking at this time. The top priority now is to curb the development of the Red-Eyed Dragon King. So we should pick a capable person, not our own cronies! ”

Everyone blushed slightly when they heard this, but someone immediately said: "Since this is the case, Brother Liu thinks he has an idea, so it's better to listen to it!" ”

Liu Runlin said: "There are no specific candidates in the next place. However, I think there are several criteria to choose this candidate. ”

The old man surnamed Li said: "Oh, I would like to hear about it! ”

Liu Runlin said: "First of all, this person must have a certain prestige and strength among pirates. Second, the person must be ruthless, decisive, and ambitious. The most critical point is that this person must have a very bad relationship with the Red Eyed Dragon King. You can think about it according to these three criteria. ”

Everyone thought that Liu Runlin's idea was very good, and they began to discuss it immediately. After a long time, a candidate emerged. This person is Liu Xiang!

First of all, Liu Xiang was originally very close to Zheng Zhilong. He didn't participate in the last Liu Zheng War, because he went to Batavia to trade with the Dutch. Secondly, this person can be described as murderous and ruthless. And this man has a very good reputation among pirates. The most important thing is that if you take advantage of this person, you can

Quickly gather the remnants of Zheng Zhilong's forces.

So after discussion, it was finally determined that Liu Xiang was the candidate they supported. And everyone recommended Liu Runlin to be responsible for liaison and scheduling with Liu Xiang. They will provide Liu Xiang with ships and supplies, as well as weapons, so that he can confront Liu Pei. As for Liu Xiang's landing and looting, the countless things he killed were selectively forgotten by them.

Liu Pei's order spread, and the entire sea was about to boil! This is the freshest thing in the world since the emergence of pirates and maritime merchants! Because the pirates actually want to protect the maritime merchants!

The maritime merchants who got the news were naturally overjoyed, although it cost them a sum of money to make them feel painful, but the safety was improved. What's more, it's not that you don't have to make money, but you just earn a little less!

And some of the small groups of pirates are also smiling. The battle between Liu Pei and Zheng Zhilong tells them that there is no room for small groups of pirates to survive in today's world. In the face of a behemoth like Liu Pei, all they can do is surrender! Moreover, Liu Pei also arranged a proper back road for them.

In addition, under the desperate encouragement of those pirates who were subdued by Liu Pei, most of the pirates gave up their thoughts of robbing at sea, moved to Taiwan and Ryukyu, and began to live a stable life. Many young pirates coveted silver and directly joined Liu Pei's fleet. And those pirates who couldn't settle down directly turned into maritime merchants.

As for the pirates who did not want to live a quiet life, they fled south. I want to rely on the denser islands in the south to start anew. Such pirates Liu Pei didn't care at all and let them go south. These poor pirates don't know at all that Liu Pei doesn't have the strength to go south, but that Liu Pei is eager to arrange Taiwan's affairs before letting them go!

Things reached their climax a month later. A maritime merchant paid 3,000 taels of silver in Penghu, received a gate and a bow flag, and then went north to the Wa Kingdom. On the way, they were chased by a pirate ship. The two sides chased for a long time, and when they were about to be caught up by pirates, Liu Pei's patrol fleet appeared!

After they found out about this situation, they didn't say a word, and it was a platoon of artillery to get over! Fly the pirate ship with sawdust and blood all over the ground! And they sank the pirate ship completely with only five rounds of fire!

And that's not the end of it. After scooping up a few living pirates, they tortured them to extract confessions, tortured the location of the lair, gathered an army, and completely eradicated the pirates!

When the news spread, the sea couldn't help but be quiet! Those pirates who still had doubts could see Liu Pei's determination from this matter. The surrender of the surrender of the one after another, the southward south. And the maritime merchants were rejoicing and their confidence was greatly increased! They went to Penghu to pay money to buy the bow flag.

In just half a month, tens of thousands of silver have been gathered in Penghu! According to this speed of collecting money, by the end of this year, although Liu Pei's book will not be profitable, the loss will be much smaller.

Just when Taiwan and Penghu were vigorously developing their development, Liu Pei ran back to Shandong. There is no other reason, because Wang Ya is about to give birth!

When Liu Pei rushed back, it was quite timely. When he rushed back to Jiaozhou, his father-in-law and mother-in-law's family had already arrived. At this time, Wang Ya didn't feel anything, and greeted Liu Pei very happily. After the couple finished their relationship, Liu Pei and Wang Changde naturally wanted to talk about it in private.

Liu Pei and Wang Changde had a secret conversation for one night, and after learning about Liu Pei's actions during this time, Wang Changde praised Liu Pei's actions during this time. In particular, the idea of Liu Pei Free Trade Zone is praised as a stroke of genius. When he heard that Liu Pei had received tens of thousands of taels of silver in just one month, Wang Changde's face was distorted!

He couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that there is really a great profit on the sea!" No wonder the rebellion of the Japanese invaders was repeated back then! That's all there is to it, right? ”

Liu Pei smiled and said: "There are great advantages at sea, but there are also great dangers. You must have enough strength to cross the seas. ”

In the following period, Liu Pei was at home to accompany Wang Ya. When I have nothing to do, I will discuss my knowledge with my old father-in-law. The days are leisurely. It's kind of a vacation for yourself.

On this day, a few people had just finished dinner and were chatting in the back garden. Wang Ya suddenly frowned. Liu Pei hurriedly asked, "Madam, what's wrong?" Didn't my son kick you again? ”

Wang Ya frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's not this time." It hurts so much! ”
