133 Changing Circumstances
Li Tianyang and the others guessed the ending, but they didn't guess that the process would be so easy.
I thought that with the support of their Bengang, even if the Gongzhu Righteous Coalition Army was defeated, it would be able to make the Wyvern Gang suffer heavy losses.
After all, according to Hong Zhengkai's calculations, calculated in terms of real strength, the strength of the Flying Dragon Gang is limited after all, and under the battle with the Pirate Alliance, the most appropriate situation is to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800, instead of defeating the Pirate Alliance as easily as now, and their own losses are few.
However, although Li Tianyang and their expectations were unexpected, they failed to achieve the expected result of losing both, but Li Tianyang was not in a hurry at all, even if the Flying Dragon Gang grew stronger because of this, in fact, Gong Zhuyi and other pirates did not hurt their muscles and bones, and still had strong strength.
Then Gong Zhuyi and their alliance were dissolved, Gong Zhuyi was naturally very unwilling and wanted to get back to the field, but many pirate gangs who had experienced this battle were apprehensive, and they thought that they were not the opponents of the Flying Dragon Gang, and they were even more optimistic about the coalition army organized by Gong Zhuyi, who was willing to continue to send their men to death like this!
Not only did many pirate gangs disperse, but even secretly, many pirate gangs that were far away from the Flying Dragon Gang felt that the Flying Dragon Gang was not a threat to them, and sent envoys to show goodwill with the Flying Dragon Zheng Zhilong, acknowledging the actual status of the Flying Dragon Gang in the Ryukyu Seas.
With the addition of many pirate gangs, even if Gong Zhuyi had the heart, he could no longer pull a team that could compete with the flying dragon, so he could only watch with frustration as the flying dragon completely stabilized in the Ryukyu pirate area.
It is precisely because the life in the Ryukyu Pirate District is more regular and straightforward, and the relatively powerful pirate gang such as Gong Zhuyi in the Pirate District over the years is actually not too many.
After all, the Ryukyu pirate area is only so large, and although it is located in a prosperous shipping route, it is not too easy to feed too many pirates and their families, so after consolidating their position over the years, pirate gangs such as Gong Zhuyi have gradually begun to eliminate many unqualified pirates under their command, and the team has become more lean.
This is also the reason why Gong Zhuyi and the others organized a coalition this time, and after entangled more than a dozen groups of pirates, they still only gathered a team of five or six thousand people.
Zheng Zhilong is also clever, after defeating the Gongzhu Yi coalition army, except for the first time after taking advantage of the victory and annexing the two adjacent pirate gangs, he stopped and let the other pirates around him breathe a sigh of relief.
As for the other pirate forces that came into contact with him, he not only received them, but also had a lot of arrogance, and promised these envoys peaceful coexistence, so that they could return with pleasure.
Soon after, Zheng Zhilong attacked frequently, but the target of the deal was only focused on the neighbors with him, and the last time he sent troops to deal with them, several groups of pirates, especially Gong Zhuyi, the most powerful gang in the Ryukyu Pirate District, were treated by the Flying Dragon Gang, and the ships that went out to do business would always be chased and killed by the Flying Dragon Warship.
For a while, it was not easy for Gong Zhuyi's gang to complain, the comfortable and stable life in the past can be regarded as a thing of the past, and the days when he wanted to fight but couldn't fight, and he was always targeted if he didn't fight, made Gong Zhuyi several years older after a period of time, and he was extremely anxious.
Zheng Zhilong's shrewdness lies in the fact that although he targeted Gong Zhuyi and his gang, he did not kill him, but just slowly eroded the opponent's strength and gradually weakened it.
First, it is naturally because Gong Zhuyi's main force is still there, if they really force their gang to be in a hurry, even if the Flying Dragon Gang exterminates Gong Zhuyi and his gang, their own damage will inevitably be not small.
Second, I am also worried that the Ryukyu pirates are really the same enemy against themselves, and the Wyvern Gang easily defeated the pirate coalition in the previous battle, of course, because of their own strength, but why not because the pirate coalition army itself underestimated the enemy, and the coalition team rarely linked, and the organizational combat strength could not be brought into play.
Gong Zhuyi is nominally one of the most powerful gangs in the Ryukyu Pirate Zone, and he is also a member of the rules and guardians of the Pirate Zone, but he also has opponents in the Pirate Zone, and he is not the only one.
He organized this coalition army, in fact, not all the pirates in the pirate area joined, and even the number of 1/3 points in the pirate area may not be reached, but if the Flying Dragon Gang really wiped out Gong Zhuyi and his gang, then it is foreseeable that the Ryukyu Pirate District will definitely not sit back and watch the rise of the Flying Dragon, and the probability of everyone attacking it in groups is more than ninety.
Zheng Zhilong is young and vigorous, but he is not stupid, Mu Xiu still understands the truth that Lin Feng must destroy him, so he is willing to keep the life of Gong Zhuyi and his gang, weaken their strength, and not easily annex the other party, at least not by himself, a newcomer, so that he can stabilize in the Ryukyu Pirate Zone as soon as possible and be accepted by other pirates.
Gong Zhuyi really had no choice, as one of the few initiators who bargained with Bengang and divided the establishment of the current pirate area, he has been accustomed to calling for wind and rain in the Ryukyu pirate area over the years, but he didn't expect that one day he would become the target of others' bullying.
Gong Zhuyi asked Li Tianyang for help, but after Li Tianyang and the others had seen the coalition war he organized before, they were really not optimistic about this ambitious and talented guy, and they were even more worried that if they continued to help the other party, they would eventually be handed over to Zheng Zhilong and the Feilong Gang to increase their strength.
But just watching Gong Zhuyi being entangled by the Flying Dragon Gang, boiled in warm water like a frog, Li Tianyang and them are really not very willing, anyway, Gong Zhuyi has also contributed to the stabilization of the South China Sea pirates over the years, and has always been respectful to Bengang, which is one of the important means for Bengang to influence the Ryukyu Pirate Zone.
It wasn't until time passed day by day, that Gong Zhuyi once boasted more than 3,000 elite soldiers in the Ryukyu Pirate District, and finally the various combat and non-combat attrition reached nearly 2,000, and finally only more than 1,000 people remained, that the other groups of pirates in the Ryukyu Pirate District could be regarded as looking at Bengang's face and issued a warning to the Wyvern Gang to let them stop.
Bengang had already made a request to several other gangs who were working with Gong Zhuyi to maintain the pirate area, asking them to help Gong Zhuyi stabilize the current situation.
However, it is obvious that these groups of pirates have been suppressed by Gong Zhuyi before, and at this time, it is not easy for someone to clean up and consume Gong Zhuyi's strength, they are naturally happy to see it, and even secretly attack, absorb and plot against Gong Zhuyi's subordinates, and let them flee to their own command.
It wasn't until they felt that Gong Zhuyi could no longer threaten them that they took action and stopped the Flying Dragon Gang's continued crackdown.
The main force of the other groups of pirates in the Ryukyu Pirate District who sat on the sidelines finally made a move, which was expected for Zheng Zhilong, and he had already received enough benefits at this time.
Just these days, the territory that has slowly expanded out, as well as harassing and attacking several hostile pirate gangs, has absorbed a lot of pirates, not only making up for the loss of sailors in the previous war, but also expanding.
