Li Tianyang's side hadn't cleaned up after the war, so he put all this aside and turned his head to greet Xi Qianhu of the water master.

Xi Qianhu has been keeping a certain distance from Li Tianyang since Li De and them arrived, especially Li Tianyang and their victory coupons, after the situation became clear, he took advantage of Yuan Laoba's pretended to chase after them, and led the team to retreat four or five miles away again, and Li Tianyang and them were far away.

Before coming out, Xi Qianhu thought that Wu Daofu and their team, which had been pestering the commander and wanted to ask the commander for help, even if it was very strong, it might not be so strong, but after the first contact with Li Tianyang and them, he found that this stupid port had unwittingly developed into a large team that even their sailors had to scruple about.

What's even more terrifying is that in this war, without his knowledge, the overlord of the Qiongzhou Sea area, the wild shark, actually dispatched in person to relieve the siege of Bengang, and even said a sentence that he didn't know if it was true or false, saying that this Penghu Hongtang was also their wild shark team, so he couldn't help but Xi Qianhu didn't arouse suspicion of this Hongtang.

Although the Penghu sailors are declining, and although these heads and brains in the sailors are mediocre, no matter from their vital interests or from the interests of the Ming Dynasty, an overly powerful pirate force does not meet the interests of their strata.

The reason why the commander dared to take the risk and let Xi Qianhu lead the team to set off to support Li Tianyang and them, although it was not without the charm of the silver that Li Tianyang bribed them, but it was also not without the fact that the upper echelons of the army wanted to use Li Tianyang and their Qixintang and Hongtang pirates to consume Yuan Laoba's strength, and even pursue the defeat of both sides, while their sailors took advantage of the fishermen.

This, in fact, is also the reason why Xi Qianhu has been reluctant to send warships to help Li Tianyang them, and it is also the reason why Xi Qianhu finally let Yuan Laoba leave, instead of Zhang Fan pursuing, otherwise, with the speed and combat power of the more than ten warships of the sailors, although they can't completely annihilate Yuan Laoba and their nine warships, it is no problem to leave half of the warships and men, especially Yuan Laoba's car that lost its sails and was only pulled by manpower oars and other warships.

"This time, I won the victory in Qixintang, and thanks to the generosity of the commander and the commander, I helped us, and after I went back, I also asked the thousand households to bring a message to the military gate for me, saying that I will have a good reward in the future." As soon as Li Tianyang came up, he opened his eyes and said nonsense, and hung the credit for this victory on the head of the sailor.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the credit of this battle, I dare not take it, I wait to ask myself, from beginning to end without any effort, where is it embarrassing to be so praised by the owner." Xi Qianhu's face turned red, and he hurriedly stopped Li Tianyang's words and shirked it. He also knew that no matter where he was in this battle, their sailors did not make an inch, but instead consumed a lot of people's materials, so he was embarrassed to accept Li Tianyang's praise.

"Qianhu, this is too underestimate the prestige of your sailors, just your more than ten warships are willing to go out to cheer for me, this is already a great help, not to mention that when we are fighting anxiously, you are also here to help us break the deadlock and finally win." Li Tianyang didn't seem to know what the sailor had done these days, and he had always wanted to hang this victory with the sailor, and there were a lot of excuses, which were eloquent, as if this battle was really related to the sailor.

Li Tianyang did this, in fact, it was also a last resort.

In this battle, in order to be able to resist Yuan Laoba and his gang outside Bengang at the lowest cost, Li Tianyang no longer concealed his strength, and even pulled his father Li De and the sailor team over. And the consequence of this is to expose the connection between their Qixintang, Hongtang, and Qiongzhou Shark, at least the superficial relationship is what Xi Qianhu and them understand.

What's more, they not only resisted Yuan Laoba's attack, but even almost killed Yuan Laoba and his gang in the end, which means that no matter whether Li Tianyang admits it or not, he will be the real uncrowned king of Penghu - the Ryukyu area.

Then, what followed was that there was a gap in strength between Qixintang, which was originally a partner, and Penghu Sailors, and because Yuan Laoba and they were no longer a threat, did Qixintang still need to cooperate with Penghu Sailors, a corrupt organization that only knew how to collect money but didn't know how to pay.

Even, the Penghu sailor has to always be on guard against the forces of collusion between this pirate and the maritime merchant who is about to become a behemoth, and will become a threat to their sailor!

Therefore, no matter what, Li Tianyang needs Xi Qianhu and them to know that although they won by luck, in the future, the relationship between them and the Penghu Sailor will still be a cooperative partner.

"Everyone has been dealing with each other for so long, and I also know that the military has been squeezed out by several other colleagues in the past few years, to put it bluntly, isn't it because he has not had any military achievements?" In order to dispel the official relationship that these few people had finally made up, Li Tianyang was really bleeding this time: "Look at the seven or eight pirate ships here, together with these three hundred or so corpses, aren't they the merits of your sailors?" ”

What Li Tianyang was referring to was the most damaged wrecked ships that he picked out from the captured warships and would sink if they were not careful, and at the same time, they were also the corpses of pirates that Li Tianyang and the others had no time to sort out.

As soon as Li Tianyang said this, Xi Qianhu, who was standing opposite him, was stunned for a moment, then his face flushed, and his eyes lit up and muttered: "This, this is useless......

"Xi Qianhu, this is obviously your military exploits, why do you say it without merit, don't believe it, ask these brothers around me, and see what they say!!" Li Tianyang was upright, and looked at Xi Qianhu with a serious face.

"Yes, yes, this is our sailor brother patrolling, and I happened to meet Yuan Laoba, a tyrant in the South China Sea, after a fierce naval battle, and sought the assistance of the commander, as well as the help of the kind-hearted firm of Qixintang, we finally repelled this Yuan Laoba and his gang, and captured eight warships and killed four hundred!" Seeing that Li Tianyang had made up his mind, Xi Qianhu, who was already excited, simply responded, and at the same time, it didn't take much effort to sort out this series of cause and effect.

As a soldier, if you want to be promoted, in addition to having someone behind you, you also have to have the ability to take action, such as Xi Qianhu's top boss, precisely because the backers behind him are not as good as a few of his colleagues, and he is a little timid and cowardly, so he has not been able to get his hands on the merits, so he can only be squeezed out by his colleagues to the Penghu Navy Battalion, staying on a deserted island that doesn't even have a brothel or tavern, even if he has money, he can't find any fun.

But if these military exploits given to them by Li Tianyang are reported this time, with the money saved over the years to operate, plus the backer behind him to operate, maybe this 'military gate' lord will really make his dream come true and become a real military gate, at least, he will be one step closer to the title of military gate!!
