181 Kill to the Chicken Coop Harbor
Hongmen was defeated, and the powerful and undefeated Hongmen was finally defeated, and it was lost to a new pirate gang that had only appeared in the Ryukyu Pirate District for about two years!
When the news of Hongmen's defeat spread to all corners of the South China Sea, almost everyone thought it was fake news at first sight.
How could Hongmen have been defeated?
From the day it gained a foothold in the South China Sea, which battle did it not defeat the strong with the weak and step on the shoulders of many strongmen?
Yuan Laoba, Franco, and Dutchman, which one is not a character who can walk sideways in the South China Sea, is not suffocated in front of Hongmen in the end!
By now, Yuan Laoba heard that he had taken refuge under a general of the Wa State and decided to spend his old age in peace; The Francophiles and the Dutch were scrambling to curry favor with Hongmen and open the South China Sea route to them.
But just when Hongmen was the most powerful, they were defeated by a little-known small character, just like when they defeated Yuan Laoba in one fell swoop and replaced him, could it be that this Flying Dragon Gang wants to copy the chapter of the rise of Hongmen!
The people of Jilong Port were panicked for a while, and many merchants and seafarers who saw the defeat of the remnants of Hongmen on the same day started the idea of moving out of Jilong Port, and then saw if they could return to Jilong Port after avoiding the limelight.
Of course, Hongmen is no longer the small gang that trembled in the battle and did not dare to fail, and now it is also a big business, although one or two failures hurt its flesh and skin, but the muscles and bones still exist, and it is still unknown who will die in the end.
However, in business, Haike and business are businessmen after all, and they will never put themselves in danger because they have a good relationship with Hongmen, no matter how you look at the Feilong Gang's initiative at this time, they will inevitably chase and beat Hongmen, weakening it to the point where it can no longer turn over.
Only businesses such as Jirentang and Defuxuan that have always opened branches in Bengang and have a deep understanding of Hongmen will always have confidence in Hongmen.
Although Hongmen is now temporarily defeated on the sea, with the influence and mobilization power of the Hongmen Bengang Alliance, it is still easy to keep Jilong Harbor, Bengang and other places, not to mention that Hongmen still has a powerful sailor on the side of the Wa Kingdom!
A small number of well-informed and well-informed big merchants who have paid a lot of attention to Hongmen have already received the progress of the Hongmen fleet's war in the Wa Kingdom, and roughly know that the other side has wiped out thousands of sailors and dozens of warships of the powerful Wa Samoto with only more than 30 warships.
That is a real state institution, but it is not comparable to these small gangs and gangs in the South China Sea, so for the temporary defeat of Hongmen, most of them are also attributed to the fact that the elite of Hongmen was transferred to attack the Japanese people in the Far East, and the soldiers and equipment left on Dayuan Island are not elite, and this defeat is not unacceptable.
Therefore, when many firms and seafarers quietly transferred their assets outward, these firms that had a good relationship with Hongmen approached Li Tianyang and asked him if he needed the help of their firms.
The icing on the cake is easy, it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, everything that happened in the chicken coop port is not a secret to Li Tianyang and them, after experiencing the rebellion of the Hongmen soldiers, as soon as Li Tianyang and them came back, they stepped up the cleaning and monitoring of the territory under their command!
First of all, he was naturally grateful for the kindness of these firms, but at this time, Li Tianyang's strength was damaged a lot, but he was not able to ask for help from several other firms, so Li Tianyang also declined the kindness of these firms in Jilong Port.
Besides, the little bit of armed forces in Yuegang in the hands of these companies is really not a good thing, not to mention that Li Tianyang and them are in a mood like a bow and a snake shadow at this time, and they still have some distrust in their team members, how can they trust this outsider!
However, this sitting posture of Li Tu strengthened the confidence of these companies in the future prospects of Hongmen, and after meeting Li Tianyang, they secretly took over those materials that could not be shipped out of Jilong Port and sold a large number of materials on the spot that could not be shipped out.
By the time someone reacted and wanted to take a risk with Jiren and others, a large number of materials in the market were almost all bought out.
However, there are still many businessmen who dare not take risks, and still want to seize the time to withdraw from this land of right and wrong, so as not to harm them.
Soon, a large number of fleets led by Yan Zheng Feilong's gang appeared in the surrounding waters outside Jilong Harbor and began to scout Jilong Harbor with fierce eyesight.
At this time, Li Tianyang and them had already made preparations, and this time they were tricked by Yan Zheng and them in the Ryukyu Pirate Zone, so that the 5,000 soldiers led by Hongmen lost more than 2,000 at once, plus the 4,000 soldiers who were still active in the Far East, so that Hongmen's side was too empty at once.
However, Li Tianyang's position as the admiral of the Fujian Navy Division was not given for nothing, and the 4,000 soldiers stationed on Magong Island in Penghu were transferred by him to another 2,000, plus the 1,000 soldiers who cut off the Jingpu route, so that Li Tianyang and them still had enough manpower to defend Jilong Port.
However, the number of fleets and warriors brought by Yan Zheng and them was also amazing, although they themselves lost more than 1,000 people in the battle of Hongmen, but with more than 3,000 Gongzhu Yilan pirates joining them, as well as hundreds of soldiers who rebelled in Hongmen, their Flying Dragon Gang swelled to more than 7,000 people at once!
Taking advantage of your illness to kill you is the principle that Yan Zheng and their pirates believe in, and they who have already begun to plot against Hongmen naturally will not pay attention to the actions of the Hongmen fleet on the side of the Japanese State, although they do not know how much they have lost, but the news of the other party's great victory over the Japanese Satsuma has been known to them.
If they can't take advantage of the fact that the elite fleet of the Hongmen fleet has not returned, they will give Hongmen a heavy blow again, even if they have grown into an armed force with a scale of 7,000 at this time, if they really give Hongmen a chance to breathe, they will definitely not let go of themselves in the end!
After the previous head-on battle with Hongmen, Yan Zheng had a further understanding of the strength of the Hongmen armed forces, and the intelligence collected through various channels was what they learned that the Hongmen fleet that fought with them and severely damaged them was not the most powerful combat force of Hongmen, and their most powerful fleet still put pressure on the Japanese Satsuma in the Far East, and achieved brilliant results.
All kinds of intelligence information gathered together, forcing Yan Zheng and the others to send troops to Jilong Port again when their own strength was not stable, wanting to take advantage of the first defeat of Hongmen and the panic to see if they could give them another heavy blow!
