The plan could never keep up with the changes, and Li Tianyang originally planned to merge the Hongtang Whale Division into the Ryukyu Naval Division after the contract with the Ryukyu Kingdom was completed. In this way, he could continue to protect the Ryukyu Kingdom against the unwilling counterattack from Samosa, and secondly, he hoped to use this method to make the Ming government less wary of Hongtang.

Although Hong Tang has always behaved deferentially to the Ming Dynasty, he has never violated the interests of the Ming Dynasty, except for the matter of sheltering smuggling seafarers. However, with the expansion of Hongtang's strength and the appointment of the new governor of Fujian, it was inevitable that Hongtang, the most powerful and closest to Fujian in the South China Sea, came into front of the eyes of Nan Juyi, the new governor of Fujian.

When he was last year, Shen Yourong visited the old general, and Li Tianyang finally fooled him, but behind this was not without the meaning of Fujian Governor Nan Juyi coming to try it.

Li Tianyang's performance satisfied Shen Yourong, but when he got to Nan Juyi, while reassuring him, it also made him embarrassed.

Zhao'an and a group of pirates, to be honest, is not a very difficult thing for the governor of Fujian, but this matter has its two sides: the Fujian sailor is erosive, which is more than half a year after Nan Juyi took office, and he also has a certain understanding of this, and it is a good thing to be able to absorb a group of powerful pirates to come in and expand the strength of the Fujian sailor.

However, when Wang Shichang was the governor of Fujian before, he had always reported good news but not bad news, but he rarely reported to the imperial court, saying that they were plundering pirates in Fujian waters, and it was impossible for him, the new governor of Fujian, to take office, and a group of powerful pirates would emerge in his Fujian waters, wouldn't that mean that he, the governor of Fujian, was not in a good position?

What's more, when the Dutch raided the Fujian Navy Division in the Penghu Islands, they were finally recovered by Hongtang, and finally gave no repayment to the Fujian Navy Division. There is no mention of Hong Tang in the whole article, and now if he suddenly says that he wants to recruit a group of pirates, isn't that a slap in the face?

How could the government take the initiative to recruit a group of pirates when the sailor was capable!!

This Nan Juyi originally thought that after the Dutchman's attack on the Penghu Islands came to an end, and the timeline was not so sensitive, he would quietly operate this An Hongtang matter after the New Year.

But this thing is not a coincidence, I didn't think that the situation in the court is also changing rapidly, the new emperor of the Apocalypse is also wonderful, a good emperor doesn't do it, but he likes the carpenter's work, and he doesn't go to court all day long, so he hides in the harem courtyard to do his carpenter work, and it is rare to go back to the court all year round.

You said that you don't go to the court, it's just that, the system in this court is in order, and the three auxiliary and six departments have not experienced such a situation, thinking that Emperor Wanli is not the same in his later years, and he will not go to court all year round, in the end, everyone is not taking care of the huge Ming Dynasty land in an orderly manner!

But why did you promote Wei Zhongxian, an official and a fanned eunuch, and give him so much power, so that the civil and military officials in the court could do nothing about him! Dongchang Factory Gong and Master of Ceremonies Bingbi Eunuch, and won the trust of the little emperor of the Apocalypse, and can even approve the folds, this right, who do you say can fight with him, the chief eunuch!

Originally, in the officialdom, the Donglin Party and the provincial and township parties were fighting hotly, and they could not be separated, and the Donglin Party had already occupied the absolute upper hand, and it seemed that the other township parties would be driven out of the court and one family would dominate. As soon as Wei Zhongxian came to power, those township parties such as the Zhejiang Party who had no way out defected to the eunuch party in order to survive, and soon let the eunuch party flourish and catch up with the Donglin Party.

To say that this matter in the court has little to do with Fujian, which is thousands of miles away, but at this time, there is a eunuch Cao Yongyi in the officialdom of Fujian. And it just so happens that the new governor of Fujian, Nanju Yifutai, is a figure who is inextricably linked to the Donglin Party, and there is naturally a lot of friction between the two.

Shen Yourong, Li Tianyang's lubricant in Fujian officialdom, returned to his hometown as early as last year, amid the inaction and merit grabbing of merit in Nanju Yifutai. Now, Li Tianyang can still act as the eyes and ears of the Fujian government, and naturally there is only this Cao Yongyi.

It's not that Li Tianyang doesn't want to develop other relationships, but most of the officials of the Ming Dynasty always have a bit of a high level, and Li Tianyang's reputation in Fujian officials is not small, as a civilian gang, although he is still law-abiding, but in the eyes of these officials, he always can't get rid of the name of Haikou.

Therefore, although they are focusing on establishing relationships in the officialdom, among the officials who can be bought by Li Tianyang, Cao Yongyi is now the biggest official, and he is also a commander of the guard, a military attache from the third grade.

This Cao Yongyi is now a thorn in the eye of Nan Juyi, although he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he has no real ability, but he is not a stupid person, how can he not know how to win over useful people. He has been dealing with Li Tianyang since he was a child, and he is very impressed and amazed by the development speed of Hong Tang today, where does he not know this Li Tianyang's ability, how can he not try to win him over.

Especially now that he is backed by Wei Zhongxian, a big backer, it is the time for him to show his hands and feet to climb up, but this backer is good for everything, but it is too expensive, and if he doesn't give him some benefits, he can't think of promoting the people under his hands. Although this Cao Yongyi is also a guard commander now, to be honest, compared to when he cooperated with Hong Tang, this income has not only not grown, but has declined.

Therefore, when Nan Juyi wanted to recruit An Hongtang, this Cao Yongyi also had to think about how to cooperate with Li Tianyang and them again, and make some money to subsidize his officialdom career!

Fortunately, Cao Yongyi knew one thing, that is, Li Tianyang was unwilling to step into the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, but preferred to develop in the Ming Dynasty as a civilian, which can be seen from the fact that he found himself at the beginning and asked him to help quietly sabotage the recruitment of the old general Shen Yourong behind his back.

Now Nan Juyi wants to continue to recruit Li Tianyang and them, so Cao Yongyi is making trouble behind his back and stopping Nan Juyi's actions, which can not only sabotage his opponent's plan, but also win Li Tianyang's favor, why not!!
