Zheng Tie waved his hand lightly and said: "What I'm worried about is not the Ming Dynasty navy, but the Hongmao Yi fleet. Penghu is very close to Taiyuan Island, and the Hongmao Yi fleet can come to Taiyuan Island at any time."
"Our Tiger-Character Banner has occupied Taiyuan Island for so many years. The red-haired barbarians don't know that they are coming to Taiyuan Island at this time. Don't they know that this is a provocation to our Tiger-Character Banner?" Yan Weixin frowned.
The fleets of the Tiger-Character Flag and the Red-haired Barbarians have fought each other more than once at sea. He did not believe that the Red-haired Barbarians did not understand the power of their Tiger-Charactered Flag.
Zheng Tie said calmly: "In the past, the red-haired Yi felt that Penghu and Zhangzhou were more important than Dayuan Island, so they did not pay much attention to Dayuan Island for so many years. Now that they cannot stay in Penghu, Dayuan Island naturally has a status in their hearts. Improvement, just wait and see, it won't be long before the red-haired fleet arrives."
Over the years since he came to Da Yuan Island, he has learned a lot about all the forces on the sea.
Unlike the Ming Dynasty who only guarded one-third of an acre of their own land, the Hongmao Yi like to go everywhere to seize other people's land and plunder the local people.
"The red-haired barbarians dare to invade Bengang. We must deal with them severely and let them know that not all the sons of the Han family are as useless as the Ming navy." Yan Weixin said bitterly.
Although the Ming Navy defeated the red-haired Yi army stationed in Penghu, in his eyes, this was not something to be proud of.
The Hongmao Yi troops stationed in Penghu were only over a thousand people, and supplies were difficult. Even so, the Ming Dynasty dispatched tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of warships, and it took nearly seven months to recapture Penghu.
Such a victory is not something to be proud of.
Replaced with the soldiers, horses and ships of their tiger-character flag, he believed that it would not even take a month to break through the castle built by the red-haired barbarians in Penghu and wipe out the red-haired barbarians on Penghu.
"Another ship is coming!" Zheng Tie suddenly said.
Through the monocular, he saw a small black spot on the sea, gradually approaching the direction of Taiyuan Island. It was obviously a sea ship.
Yan Weixin took out a monocular telescope from the bag on his waist, put it in front of his eyes, and looked at the sea in the distance.
At the same time, he said: "The ship from Dazhigu has just arrived at the port. Could it be that the ship we sent to Luzon has returned?"
"The ship on the island has only left for more than half a month, and it didn't come back so soon." Zheng Tie shook his head.
The black spots on the sea gradually enlarged, and gradually the hull appeared in the monocular telescope.
At this time, Yan Weixin said in surprise: "Look at the flag above, it looks like a ship from Hirado. Could it be that there are people from Li Dan on the ship!"
The sea area where Daoyuan Island, Hirado, and Luzon are located has the three most powerful maritime forces.
The once powerful Francois in this sea area have long been replaced by the red barbarians of the East India Company.
"Night owls come into the house and come for anything." Zheng Tie snorted coldly.
Nowadays, Hu Ziqi and Li Dan Group are no longer as close as they were in the past. With the death of Yan Siqi on Da Yuan Island in the hands of Hu Zi Qi, Li Dan completely lost control of Da Yuan Island, and the two parties changed from cooperation to hostility.
At the beginning, the Tiger Flag's ships suffered several losses at the hands of the Li Dan Group, until the Tiger Flag's first galen ship was built on Taiyuan Island, and more and more warships were built. Only then did the situation turn around, forcing the Li Dan Group to no longer dare to target ships with the Tiger Flag at will.
As the strange ships on the sea approached, small boats came out of the port and moved closer to the strange ships on the sea.
These boats are all sailing boats.
The ship carries a cannon, and with the help of sails, it can move very quickly on the sea.
Before the strange ship on the sea could approach the port, the sailboat leaving the port had already trapped the other party's ship in the middle.
"Let's go to the port and see who is coming?" Zheng Tie said to Yan Weixin, then put away the monocular and walked towards the port below.
Arriving at the pier, a sailboat on the sea just returned to the pier.
"Commander, Chief of Staff, Mr. Li from Hirado is here." A sailor on the sailboat reported.
Zheng Tie said to the crew: "Let their ship enter the harbor."
The boat on the sailboat turned around and headed towards the ship from Hirado on the sea.
"What is Li Guozhu doing here at Dayuan Island at this time?" Yan Weixin turned her head and looked at Zheng Tie, "Is it possible that Li Dan saw the Red-haired Barbarians defeated in Penghu and wanted to join forces with us to drive the Red-haired Barbarians out of Luzon? ?”
Zheng Tie said: "It will become clear when we meet the person."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the island.
"Don't wait for Mr. Li?" Yan Weixin asked, looking at Zheng Tie's back.
Zheng Tie said without looking back: "When someone comes, bring him directly to me. I won't wait for him. It's not like I'm here in person."
He left without looking back.
"Wait for me, let's go back together." Yan Weixin quickly chased after him.
It is true that Li Guozhu is Li Dan's son, but he may not be the successor of Li Dan Group.
The Li Dan Group is a force that unites large and small pirates and maritime merchants. In fact, it is impossible to pass it down from father to son. Anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that who can take over the biggest power of the Li Dan Group in the future will depend on their respective abilities. It's up to you.
Shortly after they left, the boat from Hirado slowly approached the port. When it was about to enter the shallow water, it put down the small boat. Several people got off the big boat and took the small boat to approach the dock.
"Those merchant ships just now were all Tiger Flag ships!" Li Guozhu, who was sitting on the small boat, looked at the several merchant ships docked near the dock.
A thick, dark-skinned man on the boat said: "Usually only their own boats dock here in Bengang, and boats from outsiders rarely come."
"Who would have thought that in just a few years, their Tiger Flag would actually have such a large industry on the sea, and be able to fight against the Red-haired Barbarian Chamber." Li Guozhu said with emotion.
It can be said that he single-handedly introduced the Tiger Flag to the sea.
When he first came into contact with the Tiger Flag, the Tiger Flag didn't even have its own ships and could only rent other people's ships for maritime trade. Over the past few years, the Tiger Flag had become one of the most powerful forces in this area.
The sturdy man on the boat snorted coldly and said, "Without Master Li's support, they would be where they are today, just a bunch of unfed wolf cubs."
In the eyes of many people in the Li Dan Group, Tiger Flag's achievements today depend on Li Dan. Without Li Dan, Tiger Flag would not be qualified to establish a foothold in Bengang, let alone establish its own power in Bengang.
"Don't say such things, this is Dajuan Island after all." Li Guoshu reminded this person.
Unlike others, he didn't think Huziqi was losing money to his father.
When his father arranged for the Tiger Flag to be sent to Bengang, he originally intended to use the power of the Tiger Flag to restrain Yan Siqi. Unfortunately, he did not expect that the Tiger Flag would become the Tiger Flag in the end.
