After the parade passed through the viewing platform on the wharf, Li Tianyang and the others returned to the square in the middle of the chicken coop harbor and enjoyed the performance and drills brought by the Hongtang soldiers.

On weekdays, the Hongtang soldiers are closed in the camp for training, although they shout to kill the heavens, but because of the towering walls in the camp, the villagers and people with ulterior motives want to have the heart to see the excitement, but they are suffering from the deep guards, and they always can't see the true face of the training. Now it's good, when the vigorous posture of the Hongtang team members shuttles through the wide square, the neat and consistent movements, the tacit cooperation of the battle formation, and the actual combat hand-to-hand combat can always arouse the cheers and cheers of the villagers.

After some excitement, when the aftermath of this military parade gradually calmed down, it was already after nightfall, although the villagers have a sense of freshness that is still unfinished, but in the face of such a big event as eating, other things need to give way to them.

The Hongtang members who participated in the parade had already followed the fleet back to the camp where they were housed to rest, but among the onlookers, many of them were left behind by Li Tianyang for dinner.

At the dinner, the most discussed by everyone was naturally the military parade that had just ended, and for everyone's praise of Hongtang, Li Tianyang was infinitely useful in his heart, and at the same time, he also tried to chat politely with everyone, and the whole scene seemed very harmonious.

"This time, thank you for giving me this thin noodle and attending this show at the completion of our Hongtang recruit training, here I will do it first to show my gratitude." After three rounds of drinking, when Li Tianyang stood up and raised his glass, he toasted everyone.

"Master Li Tang is polite, you are young and promising, and now Hongtang is strong and strong, in the future, we will all rely on you to take care of it!" Many shopkeepers, proprietors and others present at the bottom politely replied that they participated in this Hongtang military parade, and after truly feeling the strength of Hongtang, everyone here, where would they dare to underestimate this pirate leader who is only in his early twenties!

"Thanks to the care of all of you, the development of our Hongtang and Qixintang has been very smooth in recent years, although there are many of our peers who are hostile to us, but in the final analysis, we Hongtang are not overbearing, but we hope to bring a safe environment to our Qixintang's business." Li Tianyang sighed with emotion in his heart, now that they can come to this point, the hardships they have encountered and the heavy pressure they have endured, only they know: "If there were any misunderstandings and contradictions between us here and my Hongtang and Qixintang before, I hope that through this glass of wine in our hands, we can abandon our previous suspicions. ”

"That's that, it's better to do business, or to value harmony!" Another cup of belly, while catering to Li Tianyang's team's rhetoric, everyone began to think carefully about what medicine Li Tianyang sold in this gourd.

"Of course, this time I invite all distinguished guests to my chicken coop harbor, in addition to inviting you to participate in my Hongtang military parade, I also hope to bring everyone together to reformulate the rules on the sponge of the South China Sea today!" Like a bombshell, Li Tianyang's earth-shattering words made the scene cool down all of a sudden, and when everyone was still speculating about what else Li Tianyang had in mind, they didn't expect that Li Tianyang had already told the purpose of it alone.

Li Tianyang is very confident, and now the strength of their team, and then he doesn't have to discuss things with people in meetings, but can make some decisions that can change many people's lives like stating a fact.

"Nowadays, the pirates in my Daming Sea are constantly plundering, which not only brings a lot of trouble and anxiety to the people of Daming, but also brings a lot of risks to all the businesses here." Li Tianyang looked around and saw that everyone was quiet, so he continued to speak.

"Maybe everyone has been speculating all along, what is the relationship between my Hongtang and this Qiongzhou Crazy Shark Gang, and why they, as peers, can help Hongtang through crises so much. Here, I will reveal this mystery to you today, Li De, the big boss of the Shark Gang, is my father. "It's another bombshell, the maritime pirates at the interface of the South China Sea over the years, everyone is actually talking about what is the relationship between the overlord of the Qiongzhou pirates and this Hongtang, with the development of most of Li De's southward and no longer risking to live in Tanmen, this secret Li Tianyang can now tell everyone calmly.

"The reason why I tell this secret is that I hope to show my sincerity by telling everyone about it, and secondly, I want to explain the origin of my idea to everyone."

"Everyone also knows that my father Li De founded the Shark Gang for a long time, and a few years before I was born, he was already well-known among the pirates in the Qiongzhou Sea area. Therefore, since I was a child, I have followed my father to the sea several times, and I am not afraid of everyone laughing, and when I first saw my father and them rushing aboard a sea ship in a vicious manner, and indiscriminately slashing and killing the sailors and merchants on the ship, I was completely frightened, and I had nightmares for many days, and I did not dare to get close to my father. ”

"It wasn't until I was older and sent to school by my grandmothers that I learned from the teachings of the saints that what my father did not only violated human ethics, but also touched my Ming law." Half-truths and half-truths, Li Tianyang told his experience to everyone present like telling a story.

"But as the saying goes, the son does not say anything about the father, and my father is cruel and murderous, and does all kinds of evil, but that is also to raise me, an unfilial son, and provide for our family. The world is difficult, and if I want to have a prosperous and healthy life, this is probably the best way for my father to think of it. ”

"I'm not a saint, I can't do the righteous killing of relatives in the joke, but I don't want to be like my father, to be cruel to the sailors and merchants who gamble their lives and live by hard work and hard work. I can't change my father's mind, but I can change the way other people do it, and change the situation of the whole sea erosion. ”

"Therefore, at the beginning of our establishment of Hongtang, because of the embarrassing relationship of life at that time, we did two times of business without capital, and the robbery was still a business, that is, Jirentang, represented by Xie Dongqun's shopkeeper here, although now the contradiction between our two sides has been resolved, but soon I will still be in front of everyone, please thank the shopkeeper to bring a word to your proprietor, just say that I carp is sorry for him!"

"However, since then, I dare to say that my Hongtang has never done anything to rob and kill the maritime merchants all the way without any reason, and then many times the maritime merchants have been robbed by us, that is because they did not follow the rules of our Hongtang, thinking that they can escape our pursuit, even so, our Hongtang language has never killed innocents indiscriminately, they only rob money and not lives, and we leave a line of people, we not only left them their cargo ships, but also left them enough money for them to make a comeback."

"At the same time, we Hongtang is committed to cleaning up the pirates within our sphere of influence, bringing a safer environment to everyone's sea navigation, and it has also achieved results over the years, compared with the chaotic and complex environment of the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and other seas, our South China Sea can be said to be the safest sea area in the Daming Sea today."

"I'm not boasting, everyone here who runs maritime trade asks yourself, if it weren't for these rules that our Hongtang has formulated in the South China Sea, can you still go all the way from Yuegang to Nanyang with peace of mind?"

"Of course, many of the bigwigs here must also disagree in their hearts, you have a deep background, ordinary pirates will definitely not dare to do more to you, and they don't have the strength to do it to you, and even, you yourself have bought a lot of thugs among the pirates, let them attack your team's business opponents! But if I mean, if I now have the key to attack the fleet you are waiting for in the future, then what do you think you can do with us? Li Tianyang's words were a bit heavy, and he brought the things that Xu Da knew and tacitly knew to the table, and suddenly the shopkeeper and the owner of many businesses had a different look on their faces, and then looked at Li Tianyang expressionlessly.

"Hall Master Li, you've said so much, what do you want to say?" Suddenly, a voice with an unkind tone suddenly interjected and interrupted Li Tianyang's conversation.

Li Tianyang looked in the direction where the voice came from, but it turned out to be the shopkeeper of Changyu Firm, whose surname was Yuqing. The Changyu firm is in Taiyuan, Shanxi, they are also one of the predecessors of the legendary Jin merchants in later generations, and now the Changyu firm is also one of the best businesses in the Ming Dynasty, the tea in Shu, the silk in the south of the Yangtze River, they all have a strong camel team to transport to the Western Regions, and the wealth is obviously not enough to describe them, but now there are traces of them in the money-making industry, and the ocean trade is not inferior to the profits of the Silk Road, and naturally it is indispensable for people to participate.

Therefore, when Li Tianyang told the inside story of the chaos in the ocean today, most of the shopkeepers of the Changyu firm were uncomfortable, after all, if a big business like them said that they had no connection with the sea pirates, then others would not believe it.

For Li Tianyang's team, others may be a little jealous, but how can the powerful backer and background behind the shopkeeper of Changyu Firm really be afraid of the threat of Li Tianyang's team. At this time, Shopkeeper Xiang interrupted Li Tianyang's words, naturally not wanting him to continue to say something that should not be said.
