On a beach on Iriomote Island in the Ryukyus, Wu Daofu is sitting comfortably on the shore, with two bamboo poles and an umbrella made of oily paper on his head, enjoying a rare leisure.

Wu Daofu, who has been in Chongzhen for six years, is already in his fifties, and the men who work the sea generally look old because of the wind and rain, and Wu Daofu is no exception.

Wu Daofu, who looks like he is more than 60 years old, is still strong now, but like Gan Xingzhi and Li De, he overdrew his life in the early years, and for Wu Daofu, who is entering his old age, his body always roars at night or on rainy days, making him restless.

But now life is getting better and better, Li Tianyang took care of Wu Daofu, let him settle down in the Ryukyu Kingdom, while adding troops to the layout of the Ryukyu Kingdom for Hongmen and developing the three islands of Iriomote, while Wu Daofu always monitored the movements of the Ryukyu Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom to ensure that they would not be unfavorable to Hongmen.

It seems that the responsibility is heavy, but now Xiao Xiurong, who came with Wu Daofu, has honed his talents, and there are Hongmen guards who have entered the middle and low levels of the Ryukyu Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom to obtain various intelligence assistance, but in fact, Wu Daofu's work is not much.

Like now, Wu Daofu can be at ease, but thanks to Xiao Xiurong, they are blessed.

In the Ryukyu Kingdom, Wu Daofu's courtesy can be regarded as a good wound, not only the Admiral of the Ryukyu Kingdom, but also became a nobleman of the Ryukyu Kingdom in the first two years, and was named the Viscount of the Ryukyu Kingdom by King Shangfeng, which can be regarded as a Pengcheng Wanli.

However, for Wu Daofu, the life of the Ryukyu Kingdom is leisurely, but in his heart, he hopes to return to Hongmen Dayuan Island to retire, because everything there has a credit to him Wu Daofu, not to mention Wu Hu, Wu Bao's children and their families.

However, if you think about it, Wu Daofu will not give up eating because of choking, and now although he is old and useless, he asks himself that he can still control the safety of the waters of Ryukyu and the Wa Kingdom.

The news that Hongmen had defeated the powerful Spaniards had already spread in the waters of the Ryukyus and Wakoku Kingdoms, and many maritime merchants and seamen became more and more enthusiastic when facing Hongmen, and they also changed their attitudes towards Wu Daofu's Ryukyu sailors, Aiwu and Wuxia, who did not belong to the Hongmen system on the surface.

The Ryukyu Kingdom also benefited from this, and after the Hongmen became more and more apparent to their supremacy, the Ryukyu Kingdom, which was a real ally of the Hongmen, spoke more confidently in various activities, and more and more merchants and seafarers were willing to come to the Ryukyus to do trade.

The number of Penghu Sailors has basically stabilized, and the total number has remained at more than 7,200 people, which is a few points more than the number of each of the four departments of Hongmen.

However, it took Wu Daofu a lot of effort to recruit these people, and almost all of his greatest energy in the past few years has been invested in this team.

He also asked Qi San to recruit some famous people for their Iriomote three islands to settle down, and he went north to the Huangbo Sea and the waters of the Japanese Kingdom and North Korea to strangle and annex them, so he was selected one by one and created such a strong army.

The team pulled up, but when Wu Daofu really achieved this position, he knew how hard Li Tianyang was.

With a team of more than 7,000 people, the food supply at the end of the day is almost nearly 100 stones, although the Ryukyu Shangfeng King promised to replenish a certain amount of supplies for the Ryukyu sailors, but with the Hongmen behind them becoming more and more powerful, how could the Shangfeng King, a rare wise king of the Ryukyu Kingdom, raise tigers!

Although it is not good to tear his face with Hongmen on the bright face, Wu Daofu has to supply the water division and King Shangfeng also transports more than 1,000 stones on time every month, but compared with the needs of the Ryukyu water division, there is still at least half of the material gap.

It's not that Hongmen's side can't make up for Wu Daofu's gap, but whether it's Wu Daofu or Xiao Xiurong, or Xiao Xiurong, no one wants to beg him for this kind of thing in front of Li Tianyang.

The children of Hongmen have always believed in the words advocated by Li Tianyang: self-sufficiency, abundant food and clothing.

Since the Ryukyu Kingdom can't give them enough grain and grass, then Wu Daofu and they will do it themselves, open up land on the three islands of Iriomote, grow grain, vegetables anyway, except for a few local indigenous settlements on the three islands of Iriomote, basically most of the places are deserted, this piece of undeveloped wealth and treasure, for mud legs like Wu Daofu and them, how can it not be the treasure they dream of!

Qi San and they also transported a group of thousands of Ming people for Wu Daofu and others, but more than that, Wu Daofu himself annexed countless gangs on the sea and absorbed countless pirates and gangsters.

Up to now, the three islands of Iriomote Island and Hateruma Island are full of the homes of the people who Wu Daofu and his people have placed on the island, and they are fighting everywhere in the atmosphere of a rural wilderness.

Even islands such as Yonaguni Island and Ishigaki Island, which belong to the Yaeyama Islands and are very close to the three islands of Niriomote by Wu Daofu, were also sent by Wu Daofu to open up the wasteland and build several villages on them.

These idle islands are also barren, so it is better for Wu Daofu to reclaim them and make some contributions to the supply of Ryukyu sailors.

For King Shangfeng's cautious attitude that was well hidden, how could Wu Daofu and Xiao Xiurong not have some ideas in their hearts, and they didn't care about each other's attitude, because Li Tianyang once said that a small place like the Ryukyu Kingdom was really not their biggest goal in Hongmen, whether it was Dayuan Island, which had been developed a long time ago, or the Luzon Islands, which had just been occupied, it was much more promising than the small Ryukyu Islands.

The strength of Hongmen has grown, and the vision and ambition of Hongmen's high-level leaders, including Li Tianyang and Wu Daofu, have also reached a higher level. In the past, Li Tianyang might have regarded the Ryukyu Kingdom as a retreat option for him, but now Li Tianyang really didn't take it seriously.

King Shangfeng naturally did not know Hongmen's attitude and thoughts, and as the king of the Ryukyu Kingdom, sitting in his place, he would naturally think about the whole royal chair under his buttocks.

Wu Daofu and the others were under the influence of Li Tianyang, and they would not care too much about King Shangfeng's secret small moves, but it was impossible for them to be in their position and not secretly fight back when King Shangfeng was a little excessive.

Especially in the Ryukyu Naval Division, Wu Daofu and they pulled out the secret post that King Shangfeng had planted in the Naval Division step by step, and more of the recruited personnel came from pirates, and there were few Ryukyuan people.
