"Tianyang, I have written down all the pirates who came back to me to tell you peace, there are as many as twenty-three, most of them are small pirate gangs with only a hundred or so people, and even a few groups of people are only twenty or thirty, but there are also four groups, and their teams are more than five hundred good players. This is my list of the names and sizes of the teams that came to me this afternoon. Gan Dabiao, who was still a little drunk in his mouth, but his eyes were as clear as ever, handed over the things he had written down from the afternoon of entertaining people to Li Tianyang's hands: "You say, should we embarrass them this time?" A few days ago, they didn't cause us less trouble, fights and troubles, stealing into barracks and workshops, and their intentions were not so good! ”

After receiving the information handed over by Gan Dabiao, Li Tianyang carefully checked it, and silently calculated in his heart the overall scale of all the pirates received by this group of pirates, as well as the materials and money consumption that the team needed to prepare, and then raised his head and smiled confidently: "Collect, why don't we accept it, we have spent so much effort and risk, and how many companions have been sacrificed, but we are not just satisfied with defeating the Dutch!" ”

"At this time, we are carrying the powerful power brought by this victory to accelerate the expansion of our Hongtang."

Although Gan Dabiao was also excited about the shocking good news brought by Wu Daofu and them, he was still a little worried: "But the problem is that there are too many pirates in this group, and there are a lot of bad things on their bodies, I am worried that if there are too many containments, it will affect the overall strength of our Hongtang!" ”

"The impact is certain, but don't forget, after we defeated the Dutch, now there is no team that can compete with us in this world of the South China Sea, and if these guys want to take the lead, then they will have to wait for our bloody long knife!" Li Tianyang knew what Gan Dabiao was worried about, but in his opinion, now that he had defeated the Dutch, his team had a lot of time to train this group of pirates with bad habits: "In fact, many of them are forced to be pirates by life, we don't accept them now, and we want to eliminate them after we become strong?" ”

"That's right, they're all poor people!" Gan Dabiao wrinkled his nose and said sympathetically.

In the brightly lit Jilong Harbor, not only Li Tianyang greeted Wu Daofu and his group of meritorious warriors on the dock, but also many pirates and seafarers were quietly watching Wu Daofu and their return.

You are also destined to be a sleepless night, with the glorious results of victory, Wu Daofu and the nearly 3,000 warriors who returned were welcomed by all the villagers of Jilong Harbor.

Although the disaster brought by the Dutch to the people of Jilong Port was not too great, it was Li Tianyang and their high-level preparations before the war, and when the villagers who came out of the underground fortifications saw the unrecognizable Jilong Port, they also raised hostility towards the Dutch from the bottom of their hearts.

Rotten eggs, rotten cabbage leaves, and other miscellaneous pieces smashed from the hands of the villagers into the bodies of the columns of foreign sailors who were escorted off the warship, making them unspeakably angry.

Looking at the insulting scene in front of him, Lai Qichen, who was in Class A, turned pale and issued a strong protest to Wu Daofu: "Your Excellency, you promised me that you should give our sailors due respect, but look at the fact that they are suffering such a great insult now, why don't you quickly organize people to drive out this group of untouchables?" ”

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency General, I just promised you that our Hongtang soldiers will give your soldiers the respect they deserve, but I don't seem to have promised that our people will also give you respect!" Wu Daofu smiled comfortably, and then said with a straight face: "Don't forget, our people are the victims of this battle, their houses and property are all destroyed in your artillery fire, your soldiers, is it wrong to let the people vent their anger in their hearts like this?" ”

Wu Daofu actually didn't expect that the villagers in Hong Kong would treat this group of Dutch people like this, but when he saw Li Tianyang and people greet them at the dock, and turned a blind eye to what happened behind him, he could only find such an excuse to perfunctory Lai Qichen.

In fact, Li Tianyang turned a blind eye to the villagers' bullying of the Dutch captives, and even many of them were instructed by Li Tianyang to spread rumors among the people by the members of the Jilonggang Neighborhood Committee and others, and took the initiative to provoke the people's anger against the Dutch, which also had his own considerations.

Whether it is Jilong Harbor or Bengang, although the development momentum of the two places has always been very good, the residents living in the two places have never had a strong sense of belonging to these two places in their hearts.

Even if Li Tianyang and them are not stingy with the land and materials in their hands, and subsidize everyone to open up land in Bengang and Jilong Port, in the hearts of the people, they still don't feel that Bengang and Jilong Port are their hometowns.

These things, from the attack on Jilong Harbor by the Dutch, to the harassment of the port by the Pirate Alliance, and the pressure on Jilong Harbor, except for the soldiers of Hongtang, basically no people took the initiative to stand up and contribute their own strength to the defense of Jilong Harbor, which can be fully reflected.

Therefore, when Li Tianyang deliberately asked people to provoke the contradictions between the Dutch and the people of Jilong Port, and let the people unscrupulously vent their anger caused by the loss of property, Li Tianyang also hoped that the villagers could condense their sense of belonging to Jilong Port in this way, and their gratitude to Hongtang for protecting them and avenging them, and accelerate the pace of everyone's integration into Jilong Port.

As for whether the result can be as Li Tianyang thinks, it is not something that Li Tianyang can grasp, but doing so will not bring any losses to Li Tianyang and them, but also put pressure on the Dutch and lay a good foundation for Li Tianyang to negotiate with the Dutch in the future, why not!

"Hard work, Uncle Wu, well done!" When Wu Daofu took Lai Qichen off the warship and came to Li Tianyang, Li Tianyang expressed his admiration to Wu Daofu and them from the bottom of his heart.

Li Tianyang, including Hong Zhengkai, and the entire crew of the crew never thought that Wu Daofu and his party would be able to bring them such a big surprise and take down the Dutch, Hong Tang's henchman, in one battle. In particular, they improvised and changed Hong Zhengkai's plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, and instead formulated and implemented a more effective plan according to the actual situation on the battlefield, which also proved the ability of Wu Daofu's team.
