A hearty meal brought into the relationship between the people in the chicken coop village and Li Tianyang and their party. During the meal, Li Tianyang knocked on the side of them, but heard a lot of news from the mouths of the villagers.

Compared with this climate, when it comes to winter, it will be cloudy and rainy, and sometimes there will be white fog shrouded in it, which will not disperse for a long time; Although it is remote, it is not a paradise, and from time to time there are ships docked here, or add fresh water, or reorganize and rest, especially in summer and autumn when hurricanes are raging, and it is indispensable for ships to take shelter from the wind and rain.

And these are things that Li Tianyang and they can't see now, but they are also a major consideration for Li Tianyang and them on whether to choose this place as a base.

After the meal, Li Tianyang pulled the men in the village who were familiar with this place, and walked around, called Xunfang and Explore, but in fact, he was investigating the surrounding terrain.

For a few days, Li Tianyang took people to live, eat and live in the village, and of course, the food and drink were all brought by Li Tianyang from the boat. Correspondingly, all the people in the village also followed Li Tianyang's light, and for the first time in their lives, they met Li Tianyang and their such generous guests, so that the whole village enjoyed delicious food for a few days.

Of course, Li Tianyang is not without harvest, in the past few days, Li Tianyang has also turned around the entire village under the leadership of the villagers, and has judged the advantages and disadvantages of the chicken coop.

It's just that now, Li Tianyang has not yet made up his mind whether to stay here and establish a stronghold.

One of the advantages, the pier outside the chicken coop, is a natural and excellent deep-water harbor. Although the island was inhabited by the villagers, a simple pier was built by the sea, but it was only a small fishing boat of their own making. However, this small pier alone can easily dock the Shark with an extremely deep draft without the danger of running aground.

At that time, Li Tianyang had already seen this great advantage when they docked here for the first time, and it was no wonder that there were sea ships docked here from time to time to replenish fresh water.

The second advantage is the topography of the chicken coop, the entrance to the sea, because an island blocks the way out, so it is a little narrow, but the inside is extremely wide, of course, to the inside, and shrink and narrow. On both sides of it, the surrounding cliffs and hills are lined up, which is similar to the terrain on Hulu Island, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Third, although this place is shrouded in the notoriety of Dayuan, it is located on the edge of the prosperous shipping route and is an excellent haven, which has long been well known to many passing seafarers, but it is less of Li Tianyang's suffering in their future operations.

Of course, chicken coops are not without their disadvantages.

One of the disadvantages, the chicken coop is located in the east of Dayuan, the terrain is not as good as the western zone, most of the area is hills, although the hills are not very high, but the difficulty of reclamation is definitely much greater than the plains. In addition, if food is grown in the future, or due to insufficient water coverage, it is feared that the hilly terraced areas will be more susceptible to natural disasters.

The second disadvantage is that there is no large source of fresh water near the chicken coop, which is extremely inconvenient for the various workshops required after the establishment of the camp, and it is common sense that the sea ships may enter the freshwater rivers to kill all kinds of parasites after the long voyage.

The third disadvantage is that the chicken coop is located in the northeast, and the winter is affected by the northeast monsoon, which is extremely cold, and most of the people in the camp may not be adapted to this climate. There are also many foggy and rainy weather, and in terms of defense, it is more vulnerable to external enemy attacks and one's own side is mostly defenseless.

It was this combination of advantages and disadvantages that made Li Tianyang have no choice and hesitate. However, in the end, Li Tianyang still made up his mind and chose the second stronghold here, and the most critical factor was the influence of the famous Keelung city in the later generations.

Although I am not very sure that this chicken coop is Pikilon, how can things in the world be so coincidental, there are two place names with the same pronunciation on an island! Therefore, in Li Tianyang's heart, there are already seven or eight points sure that this chicken coop is the Keelung of the later generations. That being the case, then presumably the Keelung in the future will be famous at home and abroad, and it must have its unique advantages.

Li Tianyang, who had made up his mind, no longer hid anything from the people in the village, but told their plans in a bright and bright manner, and then let the people in the village choose what to do.

The elders in the village have actually been muttering in their hearts for the past few days, and they can't figure out the true intention of Li Tianyang and their group, as for what Li Tianyang has been talking about, for old people like them who have experienced many things for most of their lives, they don't need to think much about it to know that it is just an excuse.

Until now, after Li Tianyang made everything clear, most of the people in the village looked at this group of seafarers who had always expressed their friendliness in fear and inexplicably, but they didn't expect that they had made such a calculation!

However, the elders and the wise people in the village, after getting through the initial shock, expressed their heartfelt welcome to this, and at the same time told Li Tianyang that their village would also be a member of his jurisdiction and obey Li Tianyang's management.

It's not okay if you don't welcome it, just with the strength of their village, let alone resist the strong ships and cannons of others, just the dozens of armored people present now are not something that their village people can deal with.

And from the exchanges in the past few days, it is not difficult to see that Li Tianyang and their group are rich in food and clothing, not a poor lord, the villagers have joined them, no matter how poor and bitter they are, can they still compare to the current life?

Of course, this excludes the mainland life that can force all the people of their village to live on the islands!!

"It's good that they know each other, but it saves us trouble!!" Li Tianyang thought to himself, if it wasn't necessary, he really couldn't embarrass such a group of poor villagers.

Moreover, with the participation of these dozens of villagers, it can allow Li Tianyang to make some preparations for the establishment of this stronghold in advance.

For example, the dozens of acres of cultivated land outside the village can be used as the land for the future camp in advance, avoiding the situation of Li Tianyang and them to reopen the land in the future.

For another example, Li Tianyang can come over by supporting a batch of grain, so that the villagers can cut down some wood and water bamboo in advance, and start to build houses and prepare materials.

A few days later, after discussing with the villagers of the chicken coop what they needed to prepare, Li Tianyang left a batch of grain carried by the Crazy Shark, and then took a boat and returned with the people.

It's not that Li Tianyang doesn't want to give the villagers more food, their village has a small population, and no matter how much they give it, they can't digest it. Moreover, there is not enough strength to protect these grains, even if they are given more, they will not be able to really eat much in their stomachs, and the rest are not all cheap pirates who come to fight the autumn wind!

Li Tianyang also did not think of sending a group of people to come here to build defenses in advance, and the most important thing at this time was to complete the repair of the fortifications on Huludao before the end of winter, so that Li Tianyang and them had an outpost to advance and retreat.
