The return of He Yong's fleet not only brought information about distant countries to Li Tianyang, but also brought a source of vitality to their now stretched finances.

The continuous recruitment of displaced people, the continuous development of the chicken coop port, and the mutual aid cooperatives that were put on the agenda by Li Tianyang, but were temporarily slow due to the shortage of materials such as cattle farming, did not cost them a lot of money, not to mention the growing team under their command!

And when Shen Yourong came, whether Li Tianyang wanted to or not, the pace of their purging and co-opting of pirates was also accelerating, and they only hoped that they could have the strength to fight before they really tore their faces with the Ming Dynasty.

In this regard, Li Tianyang's mentality is pessimistic.

In a corner of the world, if you want to fight against a huge empire, as long as you are not crazy, everyone will know the final result. But Li Tianyang and them are not without a chance of winning, the decline of the Ming Dynasty's sailors, and the erosion of the war in Liaodong, make the huge empire's attention pay more attention to the Jurchen clan that threatens the survival of the empire, and where will there be the effort and energy to clean up their wild island that can't even talk about the Ming Dynasty's affiliated lands.

Not to mention that Li Tianyang has always been cautious, never disturbing the coast, and he did not dare to act beyond the rules, so naturally he did not dare to attract the attention of the government. If it weren't for the existence of a water mark who often focuses on Dayuan Island to join the army, it would not be possible to say that now, the governor of Fujian would not know about Li Tianyang's existence!

With such a huge amount of capital injection, Li Tianyang's pace of progress will naturally be faster. The most important thing at present is naturally to purchase another batch of goods, and take advantage of the summer monsoon to send another fleet to the South Seas for a trip.

After eating the sweetness of ocean trade, Li Tianyang naturally could no longer ignore this broad road, and even in his heart, he was faintly satisfied with his wise decision to eliminate public opinion and start ocean trade.

After having a large number of iron tools purchased from Dongwei, in a short period of time, Li Tianyang and his team no longer had to slow down the progress of land reclamation due to the lack of tools, as if after the return of the ocean-going fleet, the team once again entered a period of rapid development.

The trouble came so suddenly, and it made Li Tianyang feel like a tiger biting a hedgehog, and he didn't know what to do, which finally led to an extremely serious hidden danger for their team now.

Since Mrs. Wu and Sanniang were deceived by Li Tianyang to live in Bengang, and Jilong Gangzhong was on the right track and couldn't leave like before, Li Tianyang would take time out to return to Bengang from time to time to reunite with his family.

This time, because He Yong and the others returned from their voyage, Li Tianyang stayed in Jilong Port for some more time, and he wanted to go back to Bengang to visit his family in a few days. Which Cheng thought, but a flying pigeon sent a letter that had to make Li Tianyang immediately set off to rush back to Bengang.

It's not a big deal, but it's just that it's a big deal, but it's just that his father's pirate gang Crazy Shark crossed the line and ran to their Penghu waters to rob, provoking Wu Shu's patrol fleet to expel him.

This is the third time that the Shark people have gone to the Penghu area to rob, and the previous two times were only learned by the patrol fleet when the robbed maritime merchants were adrift at sea. This time, when they were robbing the shark here, they just caught up with the fleet of Bengang Hongtang and rescued a dry maritime merchant from their tiger's mouth, and even the two sides almost did it because of it.

If you think about it, it's normal for a wild shark to cross the line. With the expansion and development of the Shark team, the burden that Li De and them have to shoulder behind them is naturally heavier, there is already a team of nearly 4,000 people, plus their families, the sea area of Qiongzhou is prosperous by sea, and in front of such a team with a daily food consumption of dozens of stones, it is also quite overstretched.

Not to mention that other maritime merchants are not stupid, the sea is vast, and they have tried every possible way to avoid the territory and tracking of these pirates, and not all pirates can return to gain something.

Therefore, the order has been established, and the relatively peaceful and stable waters of Penghu are naturally easier for pirates to capture prey, which also makes the wild shark people run thousands of miles to Penghu.

As for Li De, the leader, it's not that he doesn't want to restrain his subordinates, it's just that now their team is not as pure as it was at the beginning, and the more members they have, the more complicated the relationship becomes. Even Wu Juren, Gan Dabiao and other brothers who could be entrusted with life and death in the past have their own team of confidant brothers, and they can no longer be as brothers as before!

In addition, they moved to the nest this time, and many of their subordinates had children in Li Tianyang's team, and under the temptation of Li Tianyang's team's welfare benefits, naturally there were also people who wanted to break away from the mad shark, move to Bengang and Jilong Port, and join Li Tianyang's plan, which made Li De, Wu Juren, Gan Xingzhi and others quite damaged. Even if the father-son relationship between Li De-Li Tianyang, Gan Xingzhi-Gan Dabiao and others is there, there are many complaints in each other's hearts, which cannot be eliminated no matter what.

This is a fact that Li Tianyang could have foreseen when he was reincarnated in Li De's family. The father is in the prime of life, and the son's ambition is not small, if it is according to the normal routine, it must be the son who has established his prestige under the cultivation of his father, and then the father may suddenly suffer a catastrophe and die young, and the son will avenge his father after inheriting his father's business; In reality, it was the son who helped his father build a foundation until his father was old and decrepit, and then he wanted to pick out an obedient person who knew how to please the old man from among the many sons.

However, Li Tianyang is a person who is willing to take his future into his own hands, so when he leads people to run away from home and establish his own power, it indicates that he will form a competitive relationship with his father in the future. And because of this father-son relationship, it is even more difficult for the two teams to deal with disputes caused by competition between each other.

"What about their shark people?" Hurried back to Bengang, and didn't even see his grandmother and mother, Li Tianyang asked Wu Shu.

"Eat and drink well in our camp!" Wu Shu replied helplessly.

Since destroying the good deeds of this group of pirates, they have been detained by Wu Shu, and according to Yumo's intentions, they should simply expel them from their territory, after all, everyone has such a close relationship, but Li Tianyang's reply stopped her.

was caught at sea, and this group of crazy sharks didn't care too much, even the members of the Hongtang team monitored and escorted them back to Bengang, they didn't react excessively, but they knew the relationship between them. After arriving in Bengang, they were even more exposed, shouting every day that they were good to eat and drink, and if they did not meet their requirements, they made a big fuss in the camp where they were detained.
