While the Shimazu clan was holding a meeting to discuss how to deal with Hongmen, a powerful enemy at sea, there was also a rolling undercurrent in the sea area controlled by Hongmen.

The source of the undercurrent, Hongmen, was not found out, but in fact, in Li Tianyang's careful thinking, there were nothing more than a few, and the most suspicious of them was naturally Jingpu Yan Siqi and his group.

At this time, Lu Xiao and the others have been going to the Wa Kingdom for more than a month and a half, and they are afraid that they are making waves in the waters of Samoto and Bobo in the Wa Kingdom!

Jingpu Yan Siqi and his group were very dishonest, especially after the Hongmen fleet set out for the expedition, they moved frequently in the two pirate areas of Ryukyu and Qiongzhou, and seemed to want to take advantage of the weakening of Hongmen's strength to expand their strength and territory.

But it's normal to think about it, Yan Siqi and the others are not ordinary people, and they have been developing on Dayuan Island for so long, so they naturally want to do something.

Especially Yan Siqi and their ocean trade and sea trading have been secretly targeted by Hongmen, even if there is no actual evidence, Yan Siqi still knows in their hearts that this is Hongmen people secretly making trouble!

It is very difficult for the Japanese to install spies in Hongmen, but Yan Siqi and them, as Ming people, are also colleagues who eat at sea on Dayuan Island, so it is relatively easier to install some people and find out some news about Hongmen.

Since the beginning of the rectification of Hongmen, many leaders who have violated the rules in Hongmen have either been removed from their posts for investigation or demoted and retained, among which there are countless people who have complained, which has made Yan Siqi and others bribe spies like a fish in water.

In the camp of the Jilong Harbor Defense Force, a camp tent owned by a company commander was very lively today, and many people quietly walked into the camp that originally belonged to Yao Junsheng, the company commander of the Defense Force.

Yao Junsheng was his person, when Li Tianyang officially issued a recruitment order to the South China Sea pirates, he was the first to come to the door and the head of the gang in the South China Sea, in order to show the sincerity of Hongmen to many pirates in the South China Sea, Yao Junsheng was reused as soon as he came up, and was once promoted by Li Tianyang to the position of the commander of the fourth battalion of the Hongtang Whale Department.

However, after all, he is a figure who cannot be put on the stage, and after the steep rise to the throne, Yao Junsheng's soldiers swelled to more than 700 people at once, which is too majestic compared to the pirate gang of more than 100 people he once had.

As a result, Yao Junsheng, who already had many bad problems, became more and more carried away, but fortunately in Hongmen, there were Lu Qi and Zhao Xingdou who were suppressed by some highly qualified officials, and there was no big chaos; But when he left the Hongmen Huludao station, when he went to Jilong Harbor for recreation and visiting relatives during the holidays, it was inevitable that this Yao Junsheng would disturb the people, and use his official position to do mischief in Jilong Harbor, and learn the corrupt official style in the officialdom to the fullest.

This time Hongmen rectified, according to Yao Junsheng's actions, at least he should have taken off his official clothes and belittled as a civilian, but he was also lucky, although he did nonsense on weekdays, he didn't make many big mistakes, or he made big mistakes but was not found out; In addition, Hongmen rectified this time, and found out that there were more serious mistakes than him, in order to ensure that Hongmen survived this crisis smoothly, Li Tianyang turned a blind eye to them when they were enforcing the law, and demoted them to show punishment.

Demotion from a Hongtang battalion commander to a company commander in the defense team is like being demoted from a thousand generals in the regular army to a hundred generals in the local Su Guard Department, and the disparity in status and strength is really too great, which makes Yao Junsheng, the former head of the pirate gang, resentful.

Yao Junsheng didn't review the mistakes he had made, and he didn't want to think that Li Tianyang and them were already very kind to him, but he always felt that Li Tianyang and them were crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, turning their faces ruthlessly, and their resentment and hostility towards Hongmen naturally grew in their hearts.

When a fellow pirate who had dealt with Yao Junsheng came to Chicken Coop Harbor to contact him, invited him to a restaurant and gave him a large sum of money, Yao Junsheng was bought by the other party without much hesitation.

Although he was demoted, many of Yao Junsheng's henchmen who have been accepted by Hongmen over the years still hold various positions in the three departments of Hongtang Whale, Shark and Leopard.

Occasionally, when these henchmen came to Jilong Harbor for recreation, they seemed to unintentionally have an ordinary casual conversation with Yao Junsheng, and Yao Junsheng could always talk about and hear a lot of Hongmen's fiction and reality.

For example, this time, many high-powered artillery pieces of the Hongtang fleet were collected by Li Tianyang and armed to the Hongmen fleet; Another example is the sudden economic difficulties of Hongmen before, Qixintang even sold a lot of thousands of catties of Fran cannons to outsiders, so that at this time, the fleets of Hongtang stationed in various places did not even have much of a thousand catties of Fran cannons left, which was the time when Hongmen's armed strength was the weakest.

This information was continuously passed through Yao Junsheng's hands to his fellow countryman, and then sent by him to someone who didn't know which master.

In exchange, it was Yao Junsheng's family hiding in the cellar, a silver dollar with white flowers.

Yao Junsheng didn't care about the information he provided, whether it would bring any hidden dangers to Hongmen, in his heart, he had always been absolutely sorry for Hongmen first, not that he was sorry for Hongmen. If Hongmen hadn't demoted him to the defense force and became a small company commander guarding the city, he would not have come to this point anyway.

Even in the past few days, when his fellow countryman further proposed that he wanted to buy other people who were dissatisfied with Hongmen in the Hongtang Water Master through him, looking at the more generous gifts that the fellow had taken out in his bag than before, as well as the many promises he had made with lotus flowers, Yao Junsheng easily gave in for a long time.

Yao Junsheng's first thought was naturally that he had those henchmen, and with his self-perception, his confidants could not have today's achievements, no matter how they were said, they were inseparable from their own cultivation and the path he chose for them.

Fortunately, Yao Junsheng is not a fool, such a thing as buying people's hearts may leak out if he is not careful, so he naturally needs to be selective.

From the confidants who have been in frequent contact with him over the years, he selected three people who he thought he was most trustworthy, asked them out on the grounds that he was about to die, and confessed everything to them in a clear manner.

In the end, as he expected, after only a moment's hesitation, his three henchmen made a promise to him that they would provide him with information and be ready to obey his call.

Subsequently, Yao Junsheng started with the Hongtang generals who were demoted, observed their usual style, and specially selected those pirate-born characters for contact, which also made him quickly bribe a few Hongmen military attachés.

Today, it was Yao Junsheng who received an important order from his fellow countryman, and asked him to personally pass this order to the officials he had bribed, so there was today's meeting.
