74 After the parade
There is no doubt about the strength of Hongmen, but with the rise of the four seas in the Daming Sea Frontier, many seafarer teams have subconsciously forgotten the strength and strength of Hongmen at the beginning.
Now this wonderful military parade, as well as the superb navigation skills and artillery skills of the sailors, let this group of teams from all sides invited by Hongmen to watch the ceremony once again recall the reason why Hongmen has become stronger step by step.
Even Gan Xingzhi, who has not seen him for many years, was shocked by the strength of the sailors that Hongmen is showing now, and for Gan Xingzhi, who has been eating this bowl of rice at sea, the strength shown by the Hongmen sailor fleet is not just a trick.
The ceremony only took everyone one morning, and then the representatives of each family were guided by the well-dressed Hongmen maids to the Yamen of the Admiral's Mansion where Li Tianyang was located in Keelung Town.
The next thing is the highlight of this invitation, and Li Tianyang naturally won't let this important meeting go outside.
As the place where Li Tianyang works on weekdays, the Yamen of the Admiral's Mansion is different from the general yamen in the interior of the Ming Dynasty because of the more use of cement as a building material, but tends to be the Western architectural model, and each building is extraordinarily atmospheric.
The Yamen of the Admiral's Mansion temporarily converted the large conference hall into a banquet room, so that it could accommodate more than 50 representatives from all parties gathered together.
"Thank you for taking the time to participate in this military parade in my Hongmen despite your busy schedule!" Li Tianyang is now in the age of entering the standing, and the natural self-esteem of being in a high position for a long time, coupled with the fact that he has not interrupted his exercise, makes him wear a crimson official robe at this time, sa is majestic, and no one dares to despise him.
"Where, where, to be invited by the Admiral, it is an honor for us and the grass people, and it is too late for me to be grateful!!" The representatives of all parties are also human beings, so they naturally know that Li Tianyang's words contain some sincerity, and they all replied politely.
"A little wine is not a tribute, I hope everyone can drink today, not drunk and not home!" Li Tianyang smiled heartily, picked up the wine glass in his hand, and first toasted all the delegates present.
Everyone toasted soundly, and paid tribute to Li Tianyang, and on the land of China, where the table culture was profound, after Li Tianyang's start, everyone moved the dishes and chopsticks, and began to toast and talk with each other.
Li Tianyang's invitation this time was nominally to let everyone come to visit the rare military parade in Hongmen, but the representatives of all the families present were like a mirror in their hearts, until Hongmen would never invite colleagues to come to Dayuan Island to play for this matter.
It won't be long before the Hongmen will reveal their minions and reveal to everyone here that they are all here for their true purpose.
However, even if everyone does not enter the topic of the banquet at the moment, but in the face of so many colleagues, and most of the colleagues only hear their names, but do not see them, this time Hongmen wants to invite, everyone rarely gets together, and naturally there will be more communication, enhance the relationship between each other, and see if there are opportunities for cooperation with each other in the next business activities.
Li Tianyang was dealing with the endless toasts from the representatives of various families, and on the other hand, he communicated with his third and second uncles to understand each other.
Gan Xingzhi knew a little more than the people around him, at least he knew that Hongmen had summoned everyone this time because they had discovered a gold ore vein, and this vein was still in the Luzon country where their Shark Gang was located.
Li Tianyang must convince his father and his third uncle in advance, after all, Luzon is now their base camp of the mad shark, if they can't convince a few of them, then there will be twists and turns in the next Ming Dynasty when seafarers go to Luzon to mine gold.
It took more time and energy to persuade Li De than to persuade Gan Xingzhi, and when Li De went back to Dayuan Island to visit Mrs. Wu before, Li Tianyang already had a faint feeling that his father's whole mentality had swelled a little with the smooth development of their mad shark.
But Li Tianyang didn't expect that his father Li Dede's mentality would swell so hugely, and after hearing that Li Tianyang and their exploration team had discovered gold in the Luzon Islands, the first thing he thought of was to swallow the entire gold mine alone.
When Li Tianyang mentioned the biggest opponent in front of him, the Spaniards, he even replied with a sneering face that he wanted to completely drive the Spaniards out of the Luzon Islands, but the team that did it only needed them Crazy Sharks!!
From these arrogant words, Li Tianyang felt that his father was afraid that he had been blinded by the development of the mad shark over the years, and overestimated the strength of their mad shark.
Even Hongmen himself did not dare to pat his chest and say that he could defeat the Spaniards 100%, and the strength of all parties was much weaker than Hongmen's, where did he have the confidence to compete with the Spaniards!
However, when convincing Gan Xingzhi, when the Spaniards were moved out, Gan Xingzhi's expression was solemn and calm, and the wild shark was still doing the part of the sea business, which had been taken over by Gan Xingzhi, and Li De, the big boss, put more energy on the management of land and farms.
Therefore, after the mad shark did no business at sea, it also dealt with the Spanish fleet very frequently, and many of the artillery guns that the wild shark later purchased were mostly from the hands of the Spaniards, and Gan Xingzhi naturally knew the real strength of the Spaniards.
In the end, it was Gan Xingzhi and Li Tianyang who advised at the same time, and it was only after the bitter book that Li De dispelled Li De's idea of attacking the Spaniards alone and swallowing the golden vein alone.
In the end, Li De even put up a stand to be a father, and gave orders to Li Tianyang with a big grin, asking him to tell him that he was pulled over by the Hongmen Water Division, and the two gangs worked together to drive the Spaniard out!
Li Tianyang couldn't laugh or cry at the time, and the reason why Li Tianyang exposed the only memory of later generations was that he wanted to suffer a little loss and borrow the Medan Gold Mine to dispel the snooping of other Haike groups on their Jilongshan mine.
Hongmen and Wild Shark are integrated together, and there should not be much problem in dealing with the Spaniards, but the losses must be expensive, and it is impossible for the Spaniards to easily give up the golden land of the Far East.
And Hongmen had just sent a "Jiaolong-type" sea ship to the east to trade with the Spaniards in their colonies in the Americas, and Li Tianyang would not want to have a conflict in the relationship between Hongmen and the Spaniards after this incident.
After Hongmen had a strong demand for rubber, it was impossible for Li Tianyang to sever good relations with the Spaniards, and the role of rubber in daily life and military gradually became prominent, and before the rubber trees in Jingpu Town were mature, it was impossible for Li Tianyang to let Hongmen stand in a hostile position with the Spaniards on the surface.
Li Tianyang did a lot of ideological work on Li De, and it took a lot of time to get Li De to dispel Li De's idea of eating alone, and reluctantly agreed to the plan to integrate other Haike groups to participate together.
