Pirates, on the other hand, are located overseas and are very short of supplies, so the two sides often reach a symbiotic relationship of mutual support. The pirates helped the gentry to smuggle so that they would not have to raise too many men and increase the risk of exposure. The pirates, on the other hand, took food and medicine from the gentry, and each side took what they needed!

Only a small number of pirates are unwilling to cooperate with the gentry who eat people and do not spit out bones, so they will take the initiative to choose proxies on the shore. However, in this case, the agents they choose are generally small figures, who do not have much energy, but they are easy to control.

There are also a very small number of gentry who are wealthy and powerful, and have a wide range of channels, and can directly raise a pirate, and even directly place their own side tribesmen into the pirates for the purpose of control, but there are really few such people.

Therefore, among the gentry, everyone knew who colluded with pirates. So after the Zhao Hu and Li families were arrested, the gentry immediately reacted, the Zhao and Hu families were excusable, but the Li family really did not collude with pirates, but Liu Haojia also came up with evidence that the Li family colluded with pirates!

This shows two things, either the Li family colluded with pirates in private, but what they did was relatively secretive, and others couldn't detect it! Either Liu Haojia was framed! So everyone immediately realized that the second possibility was the real situation!

They thought of Li Shusheng jumping up and down in Quanzhou during this time, and in order to build up the prestige of the Li family, he even did not hesitate to oppose Liu Hao's family! also instigated the gentry to cut off the supplies of the water division, which is probably the reason why the Li family was targeted, right?

But this Liu Haojia is full of murder when he starts, it's really terrible! But he is still in charge of the navy and is in charge of piracy, what if he is dissatisfied with anyone in the future, and directly deducts a charge of collusion with pirates, or simply a crime of complication?

But compared to the danger of the present, the future can be ignored! After the gentry realized this, they immediately let go of the sales in the market, and even some of the gentry even arranged for the people below to send the things that the sailor needed directly to the sailor's camp!

They were relieved that the people who sent them not only got the full payment for the goods, but also received a warm reception! The gentry who first sent someone to deliver the goods also received a return gift from Liu Haojia!

Hearing this news, everyone's hearts were relieved! Many gentry began to feel that Liu Haojia was not a person who did not follow the rules, maybe it was just that Li Shusheng's family had gone too far and had to fight back! So they also quieted down one after another!

Especially after Liu Haojia invited the prefect of Qian and the local gentry to a banquet, and invited them to participate in watching the fleet drill, the gentry were completely relieved, feeling that he was still close to the gentry! That Li Shusheng will drive people to a dead end, and it should be counterattacked!

Just when everyone was talking, Liu Haojia was busy at this time! The mere matter of marshalling the fleet made him half tired to death! But fortunately, with an experience, there are a group of officers who have taken refuge in them who are willing to help, so the speed of advancement is still very fast.

However, there is another thing that still involves a lot of energy from Liu Haojia, that is, the work of identifying pirates and their families! But this can't help Liu Haojia! After he had gathered the same group of pirates together for interrogation, he ordered them to be kept in solitary confinement in front of them, and those who confessed to the evil deeds of their companions were given a reduced sentence!

So a simple prisoner's dilemma solves most of the problems! The pirates, who didn't want to lose their heads in confusion, racked their brains to remember the evil things their companions had done, and only then did they realize that their memories were so good! It's just that the scribes and the housekeepers who do the records are suffering!

After the pirates all confessed, Liu Haojia singled out the people who could be transformed, and returned their families to them, and finally stuffed all these people to Liu Guangting! At the same time, he was also handed over half of the captured sea ships and a large amount of supplies to expand his base on the island of Taiwan.

Liu Guangting followed Liu Haojia's instructions. When he was able to stand on his own, he recruited some people and established a small village in the area of the mouth of the Tamsui River in northern Taiwan! But the village is small, with only a few dozen people, and most of them are old and weak!

However, this time there are almost 1,000 people joining his command, and the village will definitely swell dramatically! In this way, many of Liu Haojia's follow-up plans can be carried out. However, this also puts forward strict requirements for Liu Guangting's ability!

Counting the team of less than 100 people, it is necessary to swallow up a large team of more than 1,000 people, this is a real snake swallowing elephant! If you make a mistake, you might be overturned! This is not uncommon among pirates. This is also the reason why Liu Haojia has to repeatedly purge among the pirates, and he wants to remove all unstable factors as much as possible!

After dealing with this matter, Liu Haojia and his son sent Liu Guangting's fleet away. Now Liu Guangting can be regarded as getting rich overnight! From one ship to a fleet of 19 ships, and the waterline of each ship was very deep, full of all kinds of supplies for their continuation! So as long as he integrates the people below, he will also be a big force on the sea!

After being busy with these things, Liu Haojia wrote a detailed notebook, telling about what happened after he went north and south. However, he has greatly reduced the number of people he has captured. And before that, he had already used the secret music box to play to Emperor Wanli, which could ensure that Emperor Wanli could know the whole story before he went to the court. And additional evidence of collusion between the Zhao, Hu and Li families and the pirates was attached.

Of course, Liu Hao's family will not mention Liu Guangting's matter, but he said in his recital to Emperor Wanli that he would resettle other personnel, anyway, there is a precedent at this time. It's just that the place where he is placed is a bit out of the way! As for the recital to the imperial court, there is no mention of it.

Although many people in the fleet knew about Liu Guangting's existence, it was limited to the upper echelons. And they also understand that if they put their own people among the pirates, things will be much easier. This time to exterminate so many pirates, Liu Guangting can be said to have made great contributions! Besides, now that Liu Haojia is in power, no one will look for this boring child before he steps down.

Subsequently, Liu Haojia devoted his energy to fleet marshalling and training. When the matter was close to completion, he led the team to Guangdong in person. Leaving with him was a detachment of the Beiyang Fleet. He planned to use this detachment to replace the Guangdong Naval Division, let them converge in Quanzhou, and completely disrupt and reorganize the two naval divisions.
