After finally sending away the envoy from Macao, Li Tianyang finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at least from this James's expression, although Li Tianyang found that they were suspicious of Shanghongtang, but it was not so positive.

Subsequently, Li Tianyang honestly stayed on Bengang's side, helped Yumo deal with the matter on Bengang's side, and quietly waited for this incident to slowly settle down.

Even the five lucky ships full of goods and shipwrights that went to the secret base, Li Tianyang seemed to have forgotten them, and he didn't pay much attention to them anymore.

Occasionally, when news came from Macao and the surrounding waters that Spanish and Dutch ships harassed Macao, as well as Portuguese ships, or Portuguese ships attacking Dutch merchant ships and plundering Japanese ships coming and going in the South Seas, Li Tianyang sat on the wall and watched, and they tossed and turned!

As for the news that the Macao Governor of Macao, Carlo, who had been hanging for many years, finally announced his official induction, and the return of another member of the Macao Council, as long as the spearhead is not aimed at them Hongtang, this is none of his business with Li Tianyang!

Of course, in the past few months, Li Tianyang has not had nothing else to do.

First of all, the first thing to do was to reorganize the increasingly large Hongtang team. With Wu Juren and them about to join Hongtang, in the coming days, Hongtang I will be divided into four parts, Huludao I, Penghu I, Qionghai I, and the independent special combat team.

Among them, the first part of Huludao, which has now swelled to about 3,000 people, was reorganized by Li Tianyang and set as a regiment and a battalion. The establishment of the first regiment is about 2,100 people, the establishment of the first battalion is about 700 people, and the total scale is set at 2,800 people.

And the extra manpower was expanded by Li Tianyang to Wu Jie's special combat team, no, it should be called a special operations battalion now, with a total establishment of more than 700 people, all of whom are elites drawn from Huludao I. The deputy commander of the special operations battalion is Yamamoto Fifty-six, who has never been treated well by Li Tianyang. Wu Jie hopes to find an official and a half-position for Yamamoto, so that Li Tianyang can't dispose of others at will.

The relatively small Bengang Division has expanded to more than 2,000 people, and there is just one regiment, with the head Wu Shu and the deputy head Zhao Xingdou.

As for Wu Juren, who has not yet been incorporated into Hongtang, Li Tianyang also left him a regiment, at least on par with Wu Daofu. The post of deputy head of the regiment was arranged by Wu Juren himself, and it was reported to Li Tianyang that they knew about it, and the problem of insufficient manpower needed to be recruited and solved by Wu Juren himself.

And between the various departments, Li Tianyang also discussed with Yumo, Wu Daofu, and Wu Shu, and used the names of sea animals to name the whale department, shark department and leopard department, of which Huludao Wu Daofu is the whale department, Wu Shu's Bengang department is the shark department, and Wu Juren is the leopard department.

Since then, the various ministries of Hongtang have also been delegated power by Li Tianyang, and they can freely appoint officials below the rank level, of course, the appointment method still requires a certain charter and has enough merit.

There are also changes, as well as the re-establishment of an education department, within the scope of responsibility is naturally education-related matters, the director is Li Tianyang's cheap brother, Bengang School principal Zhang Ziyi.

In addition to Bengang Academy, Li Tianyang is also committed to spreading Chinese culture to various tribes in the Great Yuan, so these days, the patriarchs of various tribes have begun to restrain the clansmen, secretly restricting the number of times they come to Bengang, in order to delay Bengang's buying of the hearts of the tribesmen.

However, Li Tianyang did not force the tribes to relax their restrictions on the tribesmen, but went against the norm and took the initiative to organize a group of members from the Tan Sect who had studied for five or six years to go to various tribes and set up schools in each tribe to educate young tribal children to learn Chinese language and culture.

Until now, a total of 14 tribal schools have been established in medium and large tribes such as the Yushan tribe and the Zhuluoshan Society. At the same time, seven schools have been set up in the jungle area of more than 20 small tribes, and the children of these underpopulated tribes have been combined to educate them.

Especially after the gradual success of the construction of several roads, many tribes have become more convenient and safer, and the exchanges between many small alliances have become more frequent, which has made the establishment and enrollment of several schools much more convenient.

Since Zhang Ziyi became the principal of this Bengang School, while managing the school, he has spread the glory of Confucian culture in the foreign wilderness.

However, when the school expanded outward and incorporated more indigenous tribes into the glory of Confucianism, Zhang Ziyi strongly agreed, and rushed up and down to persuade many Tanmen disciples to take the initiative to sign up to participate in the education plan of educating the natives.

At this time, when he was promoted to Director of Education by Li Tianyang, in addition to being excited that he could have a bigger stage to display his ambitions, he also felt a little more anxious. The more people he manages, the clearer and clearer Zhang Ziyi's understanding of himself becomes, and how much ability he has is undoubtedly revealed under the verification of this huge team.

For this reason, in addition to educating his children every day, he spent more time on reabsorbing and learning how to manage the team and how to formulate plans, which were rarely mentioned in Confucianism, which made him learn more about the doctrine of Zhuzi, which he once regarded as a miscellaneous study, which made his horizons broader.

Among them, it is naturally not without things that make Zhang Ziyi headaches and depression, such as the admission of women, at the beginning of the establishment of the school in Bengang, Li Tianyang has already formulated in the regulations of Bengang.

This is somewhat sensational in the eyes of the Confucian children in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, and as a standard Confucian child, Zhang Ziyi is of course very disgusted and disapproving, just because this is Li Tianyang's strong request, Zhang Ziyi was just an idle person who was arranged by his father Zhang Chong to travel, but it was not easy to say anything, but when teaching knowledge, he turned a blind eye to the girls.

After he became the principal of Bengang Academy, at this time he had the ability and power to propose to Li Tianyang to prohibit girls from enrolling, but among the children he taught, among the female students who had been allowed by him to stay, there were really several seedlings of studying, and a few proud disciples who were more proud than him were not too much, which naturally made him have to gradually change his careful thinking about patriarchy.

Another example is the foreign teacher who was inserted by Li Tianyang in the middle of the road, at the beginning, Zhang Ziyi was also strongly opposed, and Zhang Ziyi, who realized that the Ming culture was broad and profound, extremely rejected the existence of these foreign heresies. But soon, Zhang Ziyi, a Confucian disciple with ordinary qualifications, was defeated in the debate and confrontation with foreign teachers.

The heliocentric theory, the logical system and other advanced knowledge systems of the West, supplemented by the various proof events that their foreigners have completed, opened a broader door for this Confucian disciple.
