The biggest problem is that although the area of this island is not small, compared to the six or seven thousand pirates on the island, there is no way to feed such a large population.

Therefore, Li Tianyang decided to relocate most of the population back to Dayuan.

But!

The pirates can no longer be relocated to Bengang, which now has a population of nearly 30,000 and more and more natives are returning, and no matter how much land is developed outside the camp, there must always be some room for future development.

Of course, in the place of Huludao, Li Tianyang and they will not give up, and it would be a pity to give up the base that took so much effort.

Moreover, the location of Huludao is good, it is a member of the Ryukyu Islands, and it is one of the necessary waterways for seafarers from Liangguang and Fujian to and from the Japanese country.

Although the Shimazu clan of Satsuma in Japan invaded the Ryukyu Kingdom a few years ago and began to control the internal and external affairs of the Ryukyu Islands, so that many seafarers avoided this road and turned to cross Jiaozhou Bay to Korea and go to the Wakoku Kingdom, there are still many seafarers who travel here in order to save distance and time.

It is precisely because of such a geographical location in Huludao that Yuan Laoba and his gang can support a pirate team of more than 3,000 people just by robbing passing seafarers without any logistical support.

As for where to place these pirate families and their captives, under Li Tianyang's consideration, he finally decided to open another base on Dayuan Island again, as part of his future plan, which can be regarded as establishing a stronghold in the east of Dayuan Island in advance.

The easternmost part of Dayuan Island, less than a hundred miles away from Huludao, is only a day and a night, and there is enough land to house these pirates and their families. It's just that the troublesome place is the indigenous tribes scattered everywhere on the island, because of the distance from Bengang, the sphere of influence of the Bengang Alliance can't cover these places, I'm afraid that Li Tianyang will have to deal with a group of indigenous tribes who are completely unfamiliar again.

However, it is much better than when he first arrived, at least in the current Bengang team, everyone knows a little bit of the indigenous language, and nearly half of the members of the team are indigenous warriors, Li Tianyang believes that it should not be too difficult to deal with the natives in these places.

It's just that now Li Tianyang and the others don't have time to go to the field to investigate where to build this camp, because the first thing they have to solve is to identify the pirate ingredients on Hulu Island, and raise food to settle these people!

The composition of Huludao is too complicated, there are not only the pirates who were driven over by Li Tianyang and them, but also the members of the original Yuan Laoba, and at the same time, there are also the gangs who heard that Yuan Laoba returned from defeat and came to Yuan Laoba to ask for help for him, and of course, there are also good people who were robbed by Yuan Laoba from the coastal area.

Only after these personnel were screened out could Li Tianyang select fighters who could be used by him.

Although Li Tianyang and them came back this time, he also brought more than 2,000 soldiers, but most of these fighters have settled down in Bengang, and nearly half of them are indigenous warriors, so it is no problem to let them leave home for a few days, or even ten days, but if they want to stay in Huludao, which is far away from Bengang, for a few months, or even half a year, then they will not immediately fry the pot and part ways with Li Tianyang.

Therefore, Li Tianyang could only select some members who could be controlled from these captured pirates. At the same time, he also released the representatives and leaders of the other pirate gangs who came to Yuan Laoba to ask for losses, but were unfortunately served by Li Tianyang.

Before letting them go, of course, Li Tianyang still had to express enough kindness to them and the pirate team behind them, so as not to really appear what Zhang Chong said. A situation where a group rises up and attacks it.

Goodwill must be expressed, but there must also be the necessary deterrent, and at the same time, Li Tianyang also told these pirates that if they want to mix in our territory, there is no problem, but they have to follow our rules. If you think the rules are strict or complicated, then please pack up your things and leave, so that you don't have to fight each other.

Li Tianyang is actually not worried that there will be pirates colluding to their disadvantage, although Huludao at this time is no longer the Huludao when Yuan Laoba was at the beginning, but with the power of Yuan Laoba, Bengang Hongtang occupied Huludao, which also made the surrounding island forces scruples.

In addition, those who can come to be pirates, who are not more or less yearning for freedom, and basically don't have much knowledge, it is really difficult to collude with each other.

Don't you see, when the time and place were favorable, Yuan Laoba collected the pirates who were driven to the Ryukyu Sea by Li Tianyang, and most of the pirates did not join?

The sea is so big, it's much easier to find a place to beg for food than on land!

It's just that Li Tianyang and their relationship with the sailor are in a clear place after all, and they have committed the taboo of the pirate industry, so although there may not be pirates who collude to deal with Hong Tang, but in private, there will definitely be pirates who are embarrassed by Hong Tang, and even there will be many pirates who are clearly against Hong Tang.

The geographical location of Huludao is not as good as that of Penghu, although Penghu has many islands and reefs, but there are not many small islands that can be inhabited, and there are this sailor next to it, so there are relatively few pirates in the Penghu area.

However, Huludao is different, it is located in the Ryukyu Islands, and the Ryukyu Kingdom was originally a kingdom established by the indigenous tribes of the largest island in the region, Ryukyu Island, and its actual control over the surrounding large number of large and small islands is actually very small.

The many islands and reefs scattered in the Ryukyu Sea have caused the environment to be varied and complex, and there are hurricanes raging every year, and the living environment is harsh, and most people are reluctant to live on them, but it is also the natural base of these homeless and insecure major pirate teams.

In addition to fishermen and farmers who fled inland during the Ming Dynasty, there were also a variety of people from the Wa Kingdom, Korea, and even local natives.

Yuan Laoba has dominated the South China Sea for so many years, and he has not been able to completely clean up the pirates in this Ryukyu Sea, and it is precisely because of the complex environment here, no matter how familiar with the pirates in this sea area, they dare not say that they know every island here. Even if they can't compete with sea pirates like Yuan Laoba, the average pirate team only needs to turn around and change places to settle down, and then want to find their traces, and I don't know how long it will take.

Therefore, it is necessary for Li Tianyang to swear sovereignty to the pirates in this sea area at the beginning, so that they can know that the fate of offending Hong Tang may not have any effect, but it can also make them have a little more scruples.
