Li Tianyang's idea is far from reaching the point of implementation, at this time, although the Ming Dynasty has continued natural and man-made disasters, the Jurchens outside the gate have not stopped, and the peasant rebellion inside the gate is also like a spark, which has not yet attracted the attention of the official uniform, and it is impossible to see that this will be the last comfortable time of the Ming Dynasty.

However, this did not prevent Li Tianyang from starting to make arrangements in advance for future eventualities and make some preliminary preparations.

Wu Daofu's construction of a dock base on Haiyan Island was only one of them, and at the same time, the Hongmen guards were also actively planting men and spies in the Wa Kingdom and Ryukyu to pave the way for possible future operations.

The bad news from the side of the Ming Dynasty is also coming in a steady stream, thanks to the early work of the dragon, although Hongmen did not receive too many promotions and rewards from Emperor Chongzhen in essence, but they also got some invisible help.

For example, in the matter of recruiting displaced people, Hongmen Qisan and them finally no longer have to be questioned and beaten by the government, but now the Shaanxi Political Secretary warmly welcomes Qi San and them to recruit refugees there.

Qi San finally did not escape the fate of being taken under the command of Hongmen, with the strength of Hongmen and Li Tianyang's foresight, in fact, Qi San had long wanted to devote himself to Hongmen.

It's just that Qi San before was still a little unable to let go of his body, and he was reluctant to help Hongmen recruit homeless people, and the thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver he earned in a year have been delayed.

Until the imperial court issued an edict to Li Tianyang, Yu Yin's son was a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, this signal was for Qi San, who had traveled south and north over the years, and had too much information and knowledge, it was tantamount to Li Tianyang's three-grade official body when he won the admiral of the sailor.

Before Li Tianyang defected to the eunuch party, took a shortcut to get promoted, and suddenly entered the circle of feudal officials, but although Qi San was shocked, he was also a little unoptimistic about Li Tianyang's behavior.

The more he walked in the local area and dealt with the local bureaucrats, the more Qi San believed that this eunuch party would not have a good end in the end.

As the opening drama of the second year of Chongzhen was staged, Emperor Chongzhen convened all the ministers in the Wenhua Hall to deliberate on the case of the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, and a total of 279 people were convicted of sixth-degree crimes at once.

Among them, there is no name of Hongmen Li Tianyang who has been marked with the eunuch mark, and there is not even a copy of Li Tianyang's illegal excerpts in the court, but the meaning is profound.

After this, Qi San finally made up his mind to join Hongmen, and joined Hongmen with the Haisha Gang and their families, which had now grown into thousands of people.

Li Tianyang is naturally looking forward to the joining of such a group of living forces, and he has not revealed his intention to recruit Qi San before, but he was politely rejected by Qi San, and now that the other party takes the initiative to vote, Li Tianyang will naturally not refuse.

After joining Hongmen, Qi San's status has not changed much, and he still takes the former Haisha Gang and the current Hongmen Qixin Hall members to do the recruitment work they are accustomed to. The only change is probably only a big reduction in income, which is also an important reason why he is reluctant to join Hongmen.

Shaanxi has once again suffered a serious drought, and last year was a year without rain, so that the people who had suffered a great loss of income because of the drought in the previous year really could not live this year, and the most seriously affected was the county government around Yan'an Prefecture.

In the villages, Wang Er, Wang Daliang and other bandits who had risen up before were first and then hanged, but the peasant ranks of the riot were getting bigger and bigger, making it increasingly difficult for the local army under the Shaanxi Buzheng Division to deal with it.

In the face of the team of displaced people gathered outside the prefecture and county, the government is actually very embarrassed and anxious, and the excerpt of the upper play for help and grain transfer has already been submitted, but the above has not given a response for a long time, making the local government and county prefects quite urgent!

The local treasury has long been empty, firstly, these officials have filled their pockets, but secondly, in order to help the imperial court raise the silver salary of the Liaodong army, they emptied the few remaining treasury silver and granaries.

At that time, when Qi San and the others came to the overcrowded prefectures and counties under the banner of recruiting displaced people, these prefects and county commanders who originally cared about the people of their respective prefectures and counties uncharacteristically gave Qi San their greatest support.

Now this group of displaced people gathered outside the county government city is a powder keg, and no one knows when they will rebel and reflexively attack their prefecture and county.

Compared with the loss of the displaced people, when the time comes to the external investigation plan, they are determined to be impetuous, imprudent, etc., at most, they are only demoted or retained, which is much lighter than a riot in their own prefecture and county.

Not to mention, this is still a major matter related to the vital safety of the officials of various families, and they even wish that Hongmen would transport away all the dying displaced people outside their county town who have no food and clothing!

Of course, it is also indispensable here that Li Tianyang, who was marked by the eunuch party last year, was suddenly named and rewarded by Emperor Chongzhen, although he did not add an official to the knighthood, but it also made the well-informed prefects of various counties understand that this Fujian Navy Admiral has an extraordinary relationship with our new Emperor Chongzhen.

Therefore, this was the first time that Qi San and their recruitment was so easy and simple, it was not at all like when they recruited homeless people and had to be cautious and look around, and at the same time, they had to persuade the homeless people to dispel their concerns and go to Dayuan Island.

When Qi San reported the situation in Shaanxi to Li Tianyang, Li Tianyang was overjoyed, this was a good opportunity to rapidly increase the strength of Hongmen.

Li Tianyang didn't know that the famine in Shaanxi at this time was the source of the famous Li Chuangwang rebel army in the history of later generations, and the current reality has gradually developed things in the direction of that history in later generations.

And what he was about to do was invisibly, weakening the future catastrophe of the Ming Dynasty into an insignificant one.

But it is this loss that is really likely to bring great changes to the future, just like the butterfly effect in the butterfly effect that is lightly flapped to a wing, the impact caused, who can say for sure!

Li Tianyang organized an impromptu meeting to make his decision known, and at the same time mobilized the Hongmen Qixintang, Jiangzuofang, and Hongtang teams present to prepare for the upcoming army of displaced people.

At the same time, Li Tian raised a carrier pigeon and flew to Yuegang, and the order soon came to Qi San's hands afterwards, and after receiving Li Tianyang's letter, Qi San spared no effort to recruit the homeless.
