"The Red Devil sent warships to reconnoiter Bengang, which shows that they are not dead in their ambitions for us, and they still want to attack us. Compared with Jilong Port, Bengang, which has a longer development time and a more complete development progress, is a better development base in terms of geographical location, economy and land scale. ”

"Therefore, we think that the possibility of the Red Fan Ghost launching a manpower attack on Bengang is at least eighty percent."

Hong Zhengkai paused for a moment, and then said: "And if the Red Fan Ghost starts attacking Bengang, then their manpower will definitely not be less than five warships and more than 700 soldiers. In this way, their Hongcheng Fortress on Magong Island must be empty. ”

"Compared with the advantage of the Red Devil's outstanding warships, the Hongcheng Fortress, which cannot run on its own long legs, is more suitable for us to give full play to the advantages of the number of large troops, and bring us results in the fastest time possible."

"Even if the attack on Hongcheng Fortress fails, our plan can be regarded as encircling Wei to save Zhao, unless they give up their companions in Hongcheng Fortress, otherwise the Red Fan Ghost who attacked Bengang will inevitably retreat to rescue Hongcheng Fortress out of prudent considerations."

"At that time, if we want to continue to find trouble with the Red Devil, as long as we choose the right terrain and wait for our work, we will have every chance to deal a major blow to the retreating fleet of the other party."

In Hong Zhengkai's voice, the more he spoke, the more excited his eyes became, and Wu Daofu, Wu Jie and others, who were sitting on both sides, gradually stopped the disdain in their hearts, and began to take it seriously instead, and then couldn't hide their approval, and nodded unconsciously from time to time.

"It's just that the premise of the implementation of this plan is that we have to dispatch more than forty Hongtang warships, or even as many as possible, and Huludao and Jilong Harbor can resist the pirate gang for at least seven days, so that we can have enough time to fight."

"No problem, as long as you give me four hundred, no, just three hundred, with these few lewd guys who only dare to go around the periphery, we should have no problem even if we insist on it for half a month!" Wu Daofu immediately made a guarantee, although he was still worried about Bengang in his heart, but compared with the plan proposed by Wu Jie, Hong Zhengkai's plan seemed to be more operational, and it could also relieve Bengang.

"It's okay on my side, as long as they dare to land on the land of Chicken Coop Harbor, I'll let these bastards know why the flowers are so red!" At the same time, Wu Jie, after listening to Hong Zhengkai's plan, also did not continue to insist on his ideas.

After a few years of tempering, Wu Jie has grown to a very high position in terms of vision and knowledge, so as soon as Hong Zhengkai's plan blurted out, Wu Jie had already identified it as more complete and beneficial than his own plan.

"Good!" Li Tianyang naturally didn't expect that he just changed his perspective to look at the problem, which was originally a very unfavorable situation for them, but if it was operated properly at this time, I am afraid that it would be more able to give full play to their own advantages and indirectly weaken the strength of the most powerful opponent, the Dutch.

"Since everyone is unified, then we will implement our battle according to Hong Zhengkai's plan!" Li Tianyang made a decision at the moment, which can be regarded as a final conclusion for this meeting.

Next, Li Tianyang looked at Hong Zhengkai and them with a praising look, and his eyes were blazing: "Good job, but then you still have to give a specific implementation plan, and try to complete the possible variables and backup plans!" ”

"Yes!" Hong Zhengkai's face was excited, this was the first time that the plan made by their participation group since its establishment was recognized by Li Tianyang, and the excitement that was naturally uncontrollable jumped on his face.

After having a specific plan, the entire huge machine of Hongtang began to operate in a hurry. In half a day, the warship that went to pick up the new members of the training camp on several islands returned to Chicken Coop Harbor with a team of soldiers.

On the edge of the port of Jilong Harbor, Hong Tang's warships docked on the edge early, only waiting for the new team members to return from their respective training bases and fill the various battalions and companies.

The newly joined pirates, in the closed training that has been separated from the public in the past few months, their bad problems of being careless and unruly, have been almost trained by the elite fighters who came out of the special operations battalion.

It is a pirate temperament that is not in the mix, and after being twisted into a rope through integrated training such as military posture and military columns, under the neat and uniform movements, it means that they have become a qualified Hongtang warrior.

"Looking at the appearance of these guys, they have a completely different momentum from other pirates!" Wu Jie and Li Tianyang stood at the wharf of Jilong Harbor, watching the neatly arranged teams step on the warships and go to the distance, and couldn't help but sigh.

"That's right, this is all smashed out by Lao Tzu with a lot of silver!!" Li Tianyang looked at the former pirate members who seemed to have been reborn, and shouted with both relief and distress.

With high-intensity, closed, and extremely strict military training, if you want to stabilize these pirates who are impatient and do not obey discipline, Li Tianyang has naturally greatly improved their treatment. A soldier who has just joined the Hongtang can get a salary of five taels of silver per month for a full-fledged Hongtang team member as soon as he comes up, which can be said to be a very generous salary in the eyes of the new team members who used to be mostly small pirates.

Not to mention, in order to let these pirates who were originally adrift and have no fixed place to take root, Li Tianyang promised every pirate who joined the newly opened wasteland that had been spreading and developing among the eastern mountain ranges: anyone who joined Hongtang and persevered in it would get five acres of reclaimed new land while getting their due monthly salary!

As mentioned earlier, the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to two things, one was to marry a wife and have children and reproduce; One is to lay a land that is enough to inherit the family business!

It is precisely with this promise that many pirates who took the initiative to join Hongtang were able to persevere under Hongtang's strict rules of conduct; At the same time, they were also very cooperative with the training of the instructors, and basically did not make any demon moths or too many radical actions.

However, even so, more than 1,500 adult pirates who joined Hongtang, after training and screening, there were still more than 300 people who failed to hold out until the end of the entire training.

There is no way, the good and bad among the pirates are uneven, too many people's physical fitness is not up to standard, even if Wu Daofu and they deliberately lowered the intensity of their training because they were eager to make up for their own losses, but the pirates who were too weak still couldn't withstand the drills of the past few months and were eliminated.

Of course, the elimination of the Hongtang team does not mean that they will be rejected by Li Tianyang and their chicken cage port. Gan Dabiao and his government department took the initiative to help these eliminated pirates settle and live in Jilong Harbor, reclaim wasteland, and include them in the team of the Jilong Harbor Guards, which can be regarded as making the best use of people!
