196 Forced to helpless plans
Li Tianyang wanted to sweep away the surrounding pirate forces, not for a day or two, since he was ready to step into this industry, he had already had such a plan. It's just that he has put it on hold for the time being due to his lack of power in the past, but now that he has a solid base and an endless source of warriors, he has put these plans on the agenda.
Moreover, he also had to do this, it was their duty to rob maritime merchants as pirates, but in Li Tianyang's guidance to the camp teenagers at the beginning, he never instilled that kind of idea of doing no evil, but let them learn how to emotionally replace, to experience the pain of the disadvantaged, to care for the weak people at the bottom of the society, and in the sea, as the weak, most of them are precisely those maritime merchants who were robbed by pirates.
This is the opposite of the idea that Li Tianyang has always instilled, although most of the maritime proprietors chosen by Li Tianyang are notorious people in the mainland, but one fact that cannot be ignored is that the crew members of these maritime merchants themselves are not wrong, and they have no grievances with them, but everyone still has to be ruthless to them in order to conquer these sea ships. This is also a source of great ignorance and frequent problems among the camp members.
Li Tianyang has thought of many ways to solve everyone's problems, but he also knows that if he really wants to fundamentally solve everyone's ideological problems, it is by no means that those methods that can solve the symptoms can be solved. But he himself, up to now, actually only has a general idea, and he is still in full swing of preparations, as for whether he can really solve the problem, he himself has no confidence in his heart.
Therefore, he thought of the Sandang Pirate Gang, a method that does not contradict everyone's beliefs, and through this method, he can relieve the guilt and pain in everyone's hearts.
At the same time, their camp can also further expand their strength by sweeping away the pirate forces, and obtain the sea ships, weapons and other combat equipment they urgently need.
"Master, isn't it a bit against morality for you to do this, these people are in charge, and life is not easy, why do you want to kill everyone else?" Wu Daofu was like eating a mouthful of, staring at his proprietor with an ugly face, and he really couldn't figure out what was going on in his head all day long.
"I'm not saying that I want to exterminate them, I just want to annex them all, of course, that's just for the pirates who are willing to join our gang, if they don't, I don't mind letting them feel our 'one-size-fits-all' strength." It seems that since he burned thousands of Yushan soldiers to death, Li Tianyang has always hesitated about such things as fighting and killing as before, and now such a thing is just a common thing in his opinion.
"But ......" Wu Daofu wanted to say something.
"It's nothing, these pirates have had ill intentions towards our Hongtang in the first place, and now it's time for us to find the field, but unfortunately, we can't get it back in the name of our Hongtang." Li Tianyang undoubtedly interrupted Wu Daofu's words, and asked Zhao Xingdou and a few other Wu Daofu's cronies to suffocate Wu Daofu's words.
As for Wu Daofu, he just said a few fair words for these fellow people from his background as a pirate, but if he really wants to withstand Li Tianyang's anger, now he will do the first job against Li Tianyang, it will definitely be impossible. Since Li Tianyang is now concerned about doing this, then he, Wu Daofu, can only hold back his dissent, and at the same time, he must muster up his greatest ability to show his hand in front of Li Tianyang, so that he can know his Wu Daofu's ability.
"Well, that's what we're going to do!!" Li Tianyang pointed to the map, which showed that on the small island of Yiyi, which is more than 50 miles west of the Penghu Islands, there was a group of pirates who had been operating for two or three years. And this is also the news that Sun Juyong revealed at the beginning, the reason why the preferred target is it, in addition to the fact that it happens to be the closest group of pirates within a radius of 100 miles, and Li Tianyang and them are also in their strength, which is different from the previous 'one-knife break', which can be easily conquered by Li Tianyang and them.
In fact, the reason why Li Tianyang was so urgent was to start a plan to sweep away the pirates, which was also a last resort.
It's only the end of February, and although the potatoes that had been planted early can be harvested, the wheat will not be harvested for some time. With the current food reserves in the camp, compared with the growing population rate, if Li Tianyang does not prepare other ways to generate income, it will not be long before their camp will change its thriving appearance due to famine, and it will be beaten back to its original shape in the blink of an eye, and it may even be empty by the angry indigenous tribes.
This is not Li Tianyang's worries, although the income of Yuegang is less than 1,000 taels of silver a month, and at the same time, Tanmen also has an income of several hundred taels, but in addition to the expenses and development needs of Yuegang and Tanmen, Li Tianyang's actual income is only more than 700 taels. Thinking about this bit of silver, in addition to buying food, it is also necessary to purchase iron, cloth and other daily necessities necessary for the development of the camp, no matter how careful you are, there is no way to completely solve the food shortage in the camp.
You must know that at the end of the month, the number of natives who had only registered in Li Tianyang's report as permanent residents in the camp was only about 1,500, and in less than two months, the number of people had skyrocketed to nearly 3,000. In this winter when prey is scarce, in addition to the food and horses of their own families, the income of their labor is mostly exchanged for food, which is brought back to their tribe and used to feed their relatives in the tribe.
This is equivalent to Li Tianyang using their Bengang camp to feed the rations of almost half of the alliance tribes, and the pressure can be imagined. And all of this is because Li Tianyang is too ambitious, and when his strength and wealth are still insufficient, he prematurely formed the Bengang Alliance, which is an organization that is considered a behemoth in their eyes today. However, since the opportunity has come to the door by himself, it is impossible for him Li Tianyang to let it go in vain, and he doesn't know when he will have such a perfect opportunity in the future.
Therefore, Li Tianyang is painful and happy, trying his best to generate income for the camp, and the plan to sweep away the pirates, Li Tianyang said it nicely on his face, in order to find the field and expand his strength at the same time, but fundamentally, why is it not that Li Tianyang is desperate and wants to alleviate the upcoming food shortage in the camp by robbing these pirate gangs and looting their inventory!!
