In fact, these are not the most important things for Li Tianyang now, but the most important thing now is what Li Tianyang and they faced at the beginning, and they are very familiar with - lack of food.

Yuan Laoba did enough to do it, and when he decided to escape from Hulu Island, he quietly transported all the grain on the island to the shipyard of his ordinary henchmen.

There is not much surplus food on the island itself, less than a thousand stones, and it is scattered to more than ten warships, and the gods do not know it.

After Li Tianyang and them occupied Huludao, they saw a group of pirate families who had been hungry for two meals and had no food at all, so they could only urgently transfer rations belonging to the team members from the ship to make an emergency.

It's just that Li Tian's rations for them were originally for half a month's worth of funds prepared by more than 2,000 team members, and this misappropriation was used to fill the prisoners, and both sides faced the problem of food shortage.

As a last resort, Li Tianyang had no choice but to send someone back to report and ask Bengang to prepare enough food for more than 6,000 people to eat for three months to relieve this group of pirates who couldn't even satisfy their lives!

Fortunately, Bengang has been vigorously cultivating grain crops instead of crops such as peanuts, soybeans, and sugarcane for more than a year, and there is no problem in mobilizing six or seven thousand people to use grain for three months. But now it's winter soon, and Bengang also needs enough food to survive the winter, and if there is more, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.

The rest of the team members were not idle, taking advantage of the current momentum of their Hongtang, they cruised around in warships, while declaring Hongtang's sovereignty over this sea area to the surrounding pirates, while familiarizing themselves with the situation in the surrounding sea areas, and at the same time understanding the general distribution of the surrounding pirates.

Sure enough, the Ryukyu sea area is much more complicated than the Penghu sea area, and the team members, under the leadership of He Yong and Zhao Xingdou, inspected the surrounding sea area in just three or four days, and met no less than five groups of pirates. It's not like in the Penghu area, go out for more than ten days, and if you're unlucky, you won't even be able to meet a group of pirates.

After hearing He Yong and the others come back to tell what they had seen and heard this time, Li Tianyang couldn't help but start worrying about whether he could gain a foothold on Huludao.

After a few days of screening, Li Tianyang selected less than 1,000 pirates from the more than 2,000 pirates as objects that could be absorbed and utilized.

It's not that other pirates are unwilling to join Li Tian's Hongtang, with the prestige of Hongtang now, and the background of the wild shark and Penghu sailor standing behind them, although the industry does not allow it, it does not prevent these pirates from choosing to join the big family of Hongtang.

It's easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and the stronger Hong Tang is, the lower the chance that these low-level pirates will be at risk, isn't it?

However, after all, the pirate industry has to fight and struggle to survive, and the torture of human nature is too great, and many pirates have become distorted in the face of fighting day and night, and their willfulness has become distorted, bloodthirsty and murderous, irritable and irritable, and they do not obey discipline.

Isn't it like a rat poop that falls into a porridge pot when such a pirate is absorbed? Not only can it not become a powerful force of the team, but it may suddenly explode at some point and become a hidden danger for the team.

You must know that the team that Li Tianyang has built since he was a child pays the most attention to discipline and rules, and recruiting such members to come in is not contrary to the direction that Li Tianyang has been working towards?

And among them, with Yuan Laoba's original team members, the situation is the most serious, basically a pirate, at least six or more of them have some murderous problems. Even if they have become Li Tianyang's prisoners now, they are not honest at all, they have been causing trouble in the concentration camps where the prisoners are held, and things like taking the lead against the members of the Hongtang who manage them have become commonplace, and even instigated everyone to riot together and attempt to escape from prison, and in the past seven or eight days alone, there have been three times.

You said, such a group of unconscious personnel, even if he is brave and good at fighting, how dare Li Tianyang recruit them.

But it is also a scourge to keep them in the camp, or to take them to Bengang. For this kind of person who has become indifferent to the life and death of himself and others because of his distorted personality, it is a dynamite bag wherever he puts it, except for a team of pirates like Yuan Laoba, who is also murderous!

After thinking about it for a while, since he was unwilling to appoint such pirates, and he couldn't make up his mind to get rid of them directly, and at the same time stay by his side without worrying about it, it was better to be a good person and let go of these bandits directly, and save some rations.

It's better to act than to move, Li Tianyang felt that there was no way out, so he summoned these hundreds of pirates with twisted personalities that afternoon, and at the same time called their families together.

Li Tianyang first spent half an hour reciting the rules of their team, and then clearly stated his own considerations, as well as the thoughts and plans of these unruly pirates, and let them make their own choices.

Whether to settle down, and then as an ordinary, well-behaved person, or as always, kill people if you want, fight when you want, and live a free life, all of them are handed back to these pirates themselves.

Sure enough, the vast majority of pirates still chose a free life, received a ration enough for themselves and their families to live for more than ten days, took their families, and left Huludao on the dilapidated fishing boat that Li Tianyang had prepared for them a long time ago.

They have such capital to choose, because they know very well that with their ability, they can go to any pirate team, and these pirate teams are looking forward to it, and they are hot guests.

This is also the confidence that they have always dared to do all kinds of deviant things as a prisoner, without worrying about being dealt with by Li Tianyang.

Fortunately, they still have some brains, and although they brought some trouble to Li Tianyang and them, they did not bring any casualties. Otherwise, they will know how dangerous and self-righteous their thinking is.

However, there were also a small number of pirates who made an unexpected decision, and even nodded in agreement with the various rules formulated by Li Tianyang, and stayed, even if Li Tianyang repeatedly read the rules and ethics in front of them, and repeatedly reminded them of all kinds of consequences, they could not dispel their decision to stay in Hongtang.

"In that case, then I won't say anything more, but I want to tell you again, if you really violate any of our camp ethics, we will treat you equally, you have to think about it!!"

"No problem."

"Don't worry!"

"Good!"

All kinds of jagged voices came from the mouths of the remaining hundred or so pirates.

"The rules of the camp, in the face of Shangguan's reprimand, can only answer, yes, or no!!" Li Tianyang suddenly changed his kind and kind tone just now, puffed up a small face, and roared expressionlessly.

The pirates below were stunned for a moment, and then came back to their senses, although they were not neat, but they shouted in a sonorous voice: "Yes!!" ”
