37 Confluence
Hongtang's fleet has been following behind Yuan Laoba and their fleet, so when the Penghu Sailor fleet met Yuan Laoba and their fleet, Li Tianyang and them were actually not very far away from Wu Daofu and them.
When Wu Daofu persuaded Xi Qianhu to take a detour, Li Tianyang and the others also stopped in front of Wu Daofu and them, waiting for their arrival.
To tell the truth, Li Tianyang was not very confident in whether Wu Daofu could say that the Penghu Naval Division would be dispatched, and now when he saw the more than ten warships from afar, he was still a little relieved in his heart. What the ancients said is still very reasonable, money can make ghosts grind, usually Bengang is filial piety every month, plus the silver that Wu Daofu brought to bribe this time, it still worked, but how much help the sailor can help like this, before I met Wu Daofu and them, it is unknown.
Half a day later, they made a big detour around the Penghu Sailor and his party, and finally arrived at the place where Li Tianyang and them stayed.
Although Xi Qianhu is a cronie, but for such a thing as colluding with pirates, if it is not necessary, the commander will definitely not want outsiders to know, so before this, Xi Qianhu really didn't expect that this time he came out to help a group of opponents. If it weren't for Wu Daofu's quick explanation, I'm afraid this Xi Qianhu would really want to go home and stop coming to this troubled water.
Although Hongtang has developed rapidly for more than a year, under the control of Li Tianyang, in addition to clearing out pirates from all walks of life, encircling maritime merchants and creating maritime rules, Hongtang has never disturbed the people, and it can even be said that they have made an indelible contribution to the peace in the Penghu area.
In addition, Li Tianyang has always pursued the policy of keeping the light and raising obscurity, if the Hongtang forces had not encountered a great enemy this time, it would have been rare to see Li Tianyang and them pouring out of the nest, so although the Penghu sailors have heard of the name of the Hongtang pirates, they have underestimated the true strength of Hongtang, and this time they were able to see the truth, even more than their navy army, how could Xi Qianhu not feel uneasy?
Finally saw Li Tianyang and his party, the thin rope that Wu Daofu was tightening in his heart was finally loosened, although all kinds of smoky fire on the hull of Hongtang could be seen everywhere, and there were many holes on the deck that were hit by cannonballs, but as long as Li Tianyang and the others were fine, it was a thing to be thankful.
After simply reporting the actions of the past few days to Li Tianyang, Wu Daofu did not have a trace of happiness and did not disgrace his life, but complained more: "Young master, it's not that I said bad things about this water master, but after getting along for the past few days, I don't think such a water master can help us." ”
Li Tianyang smiled, how could he not have thought of this, even when he asked Wu Daofu to invite the sailor, he did not have any illusions, now the sailor can come to more than ten warships, it is already a good result: "Uncle Wu, don't make trouble, the little nephew doesn't know their plans, but now that the strong enemy is outside, our strength is insufficient, so we need to use all the resources that can be transferred, otherwise, if we are defeated, these resources will not be the same as they will be wasted?" ”
"Besides, how do you know that this sailor can't be used by me?" Li Tianyang smiled mysteriously, looking at the Penghu Sailor who was keeping a distance from them in the distance, his eyes were rolling around in that ancient way, and he didn't know what he was thinking: "Even if they don't fight, they also have a way of not fighting, so they may not be able to help us." ”
"Since you have a plan, young master, it's good, otherwise it will be cheaper to get those goods in the sailor, and you will make some money for nothing!" Although Wu Daofu didn't know what Li Tianyang had in mind, he was convinced of what Li Tianyang said, and he didn't say anything more.
"But I still have to bother Uncle Wu to work hard again, and continue to lead the way for this group of sailors, as a channel to communicate with each other." As he spoke, Li Tianyang stretched his head into Wu Daofu's ear and whispered a few words, which made Wu Daofu look at Li Tianyang half puzzled, half surprised, but he didn't expect that he worked hard to recruit the sailor team, and in Li Tianyang's hands, it was only used to do these things, which made him feel that it was not worth it, but now that the wood was in the boat, and Li Tianyang had an expression of Chengzhu in his chest, he had to deal with this matter.
It is definitely impossible for Xi Qianhu to mix with Hong Tang's team, even if he doesn't think about his boss, he has to think about his own future. Although the strength of the pirates is not as good as that of the previous dynasty, it is still the object of the court's attention, the sea is vast, if it is entangled with Hongtang, if it is not clear, then maybe someone will report to the Fujian Governor's Mansion and even the Governor's Yamen, and then they are afraid that it will not be as simple as losing their official position and abandoning their lords.
Therefore, at the beginning, Xi Qianhu kept the fleet away from the Hongtang fleet, which was regarded as avoiding suspicion, although there was a move to cover his ears and steal the bell, but officialdom was like this, it was not a certainty, and it was caught in the right way, even if many times, everyone knew it, but it was not easy to put it in court in detail.
Therefore, when Li Tianyang met with this Xi Qianhu, Xi Qianhu and the others would stay away from Hongtang and his party and walk alone on the route planned by Li Tianyang.
Another two days passed, and Yuan Laoba, who had been walking slowly along the Dayuan coastline for five days, was finally about to arrive at the destination of their trip, Bengang.
"This Hongtang person has chosen a good place!" Yuan Laoba came this day, looking at the vast capital of Dayuan Island, and couldn't help but sigh.
As his power swelled more and more, Yuan Laoba felt that his current nest Huludao was becoming more and more narrow, and it could not accommodate his current huge team, so he had already had the idea of changing his nest and taking root. It's just that although Dayuan Island is vast, for many years, in the mouths of the surrounding fishermen and sailors, it has been a dangerous place with poor mountains and bad waters, and miasma is rampant.
As a native of Fujian, don't look at Yuan Laoba and these guys in the eyes of outsiders, but in fact, they are really superstitious about these unwarranted things. Therefore, although everyone knows that there is a lot of land on this Dayuan Island, they just don't have the courage to take root on Dayuan Island.
"I don't know how this guy from Hongtang treats the miasma and plague land on this island, can it be said that their station is a treasure land of feng shui?" If you want to say that it is not rare to have a lot of land on Dayuan Island, it must be false, Yuan Laoba attacked Bengang this time, and in his heart, he also wanted to know the reason why this Hongtang dared to gain a foothold on Dayuan Island.
