Liu Xiang and his gang of pirates, although there are more than 2,000 people, but the gang that was supposed to boost their power has now become a big burden to Liu Xiang and others.

The reason is naturally simple, the sea trade is really not enough to support such a large group of people, as well as the families around these gangs.

However, if you don't increase your efforts to expand your own strength, the survival crisis in the northern seas is becoming more and more fierce, and it is even likely to be swallowed up and eliminated by other pirate gangs.

This became a dead knot, which made Liu Xiang and other pirate leaders in the Beihai area feel a headache.

In the original history, after Liu Xiang broke away from Zheng Zhilong's Eighteen Zhizhi, he became a comprador and representative of the Spaniards and Portuguese.

The Spaniards were defeated by the Hongmen fleet, and the Portuguese did not dare to snub the Hongmen, and the Liu Xiang gang, which had become the representative of the two Western forces, had not many options if they wanted to continue to develop.

"I heard that Gang Leader Liu was one of the leaders of the Yan Zheng Feilong Gang, why did he break away and work alone, is there any other reason for this?"

Li Tianyang's question is not surprising to Liu Xiang, with the contradiction between Hongmen and Feilong Gang Yan Zheng and his gang, if Li Tianyang asks without asking him the reason, Liu Xiang himself will feel uneasy.

"The grass people were originally the leaders of Li Dan's sea lord, and later after the sea lord passed away, he left a last word, and his inheritance except for the real estate of the sailors and warships were all attributed to his righteous son Zheng Zhilong."

"The grass people really couldn't figure it out at that time, the sea lord still had the reincarnation of his adult son-in-law Guozhu, why would he attribute most of the industry to Zheng Zhilong, the righteous son, but at that time, the grass people couldn't take the inside story lightly, so they could only respect the last words of the sea lord and go south with Zheng Thief to Yan Siqi for this teasing."

"However, the doubts in the grass people's hearts have never dissipated, and as the higher their status in the Flying Dragon Gang, they will naturally be able to know more inside stories at that time, until it is confirmed from one of their henchmen that the Zheng thief and Li Dan's henchmen around the sea lord tampered with their will, and forcibly seized the fleet and gang that originally belonged to the young master of the national pillar, so in a fit of anger, the grass people led people to rebel!"

Speaking of Zheng Zhilong, Liu Xiang's eyes couldn't hide the color of hatred and anger, for him, the original sea lord Li Dan had great grace to him, if it wasn't for Zheng Zhilong's secret tricks, he would not have betrayed the sea lord's concubine and become a treacherous man.

In the Hongmen Foreign Guard Intelligence, in fact, this matter is no longer a secret, Zheng Zhilong inherited more than half of Li Dan's foundation, for Li Dan, who gave birth to his eldest son Li Guozhu, this is a very unusual thing in itself.

Li Tianyang and they didn't believe that Li Dan, the sea lord, would have the gift of the ancestors, regardless of his intimacy or ability, he would hand over his vast country to a righteous son who had followed him for only a few years, rather than his own son-in-law.

This was something that Li Tianyang was very surprised at that time, and then under the excavation of the foreign guards, the methods that Zheng Zhilong had used at the beginning were gradually exposed.

Hearing Liu Xiang's words at this time, although Li Tianyang may not be gullible to him, it has also greatly dispelled his doubts about Liu Xiang's points.

"In that case, why don't you help go back to assist Li Guozhu, but set up another mountain by yourself?"

"Don't hide it from the adults, the little one didn't think about returning to the young master of the national pillar at the beginning, but the young master of the national pillar himself has limited qualifications, and secondly, the political affairs of the country have changed, and we are used to being people who trade at sea, but we are not very able to be a businessman in peace."

Liu Xiang's words are not false, the historical trajectory of Yan and Zheng has undergone major changes because of Li Tianyang's participation, Zheng Zhilong, who originally dominated Nanyang, now he no longer knows how to hide in that corner and secretly make a living, and where can Li Guozhu, Liu Xiang and others be suppressed like the original history!

Without Zheng Zhilong's suppression, Li Guozhu and his people obtained his father Li Dan's property in the Wa Kingdom, coupled with the previous relationship with the Edo Shogunate, Li Guozhu reversed the original history and followed his father's old path, but turned to become a maritime merchant, and rarely got involved in the pirate trade.

Therefore, at this time, Liu Xiang's words and the evidence of Hongmen's foreign guard intelligence are also very appropriate.

"You have passed, but make it clear in advance that if you want to enter my Hongmen, you must abide by the 184 rules of my Hongmen's conduct, and at the same time obey the distribution of my Hongmen, and there is no gang of your Liu gang leader, are you willing?"

Li Tianyang didn't really care about what Liu Xiang said at this time, he had the confidence that even if Liu Xiang had other plans here, they could turn his plan into a bubble.

"Since the grass people have surrendered to Lord Admiral, they have naturally already thought about the consequences, and they have no intention of repenting."

Liu Xiang was upright and sincerely made a promise to Li Tianyang.

"Okay, as the commander of the first battalion of my Hongmen Flying Fish Department, you are allowed to transfer seven hundred henchmen from the original gang to the Luzon Islands to protect the safety of the island!"

Liu Xiang was stunned for a moment, with a look of disbelief in his eyes, but soon he came back to his senses and replied categorically: "Yes!" ”

Li Tianyang's eyes, from the beginning of the arrangement for Liu Xiang, stared straight at Liu Xiang's expression, and saw all the changes in his expression, until he saw Liu Xiang quickly come back to his senses and agreed, he retracted his gaze with satisfaction and threw a sweet date to the other party: "The turmoil over there in Luzon is still unsettled, so I want to give you some opportunities to make some military achievements, so that you can gain a foothold in Hongmen." ”

"You know, even if you take two thousand people to my Hongmen now, but without military merits, I can't give you better arrangements as the master of the sect, because my Hongmen has always been promoted based on military merits."

"Understood!"

Long before joining Hongmen, Liu Xiang had already secretly inspected the rules and regulations of Hongmen, although he didn't expect that he would still not be able to get much reuse with such a group of elites, but Li Tianyang's explanation was also consistent with what he had heard.

And in his heart, Liu Xiang is still a little happy, Li Tianyang said it so clearly, which means that he has a good impression of himself, and the future is foreseeable, and his future will not be too bad.

After sending Liu Xiang away, Li Tianyang thought carefully in his heart for a long time, and after consciously arranging not too much of a problem, he began to pick up all kinds of documents that had been lost for several months and the recent development of Hongmen, and officially returned to the government affairs that he had worked hard about.
