What's more, it was taboo for men and women to exchange private letters at this time. It was already a big deal for Miss Wang to reply to him! So Liu Pei still felt very happy! He also knew that with the exchange of letters, the contents of

There will definitely be more and more content.

After reading the letter, Liu Pei felt much calmer. She immediately wrote a reply and handed it to Liu Jiang. Liu Jiang took it with a smile, put it in his arms and said, "What orders did the master of the house have for calling me?"

Liu Pei said: "Have you found out all the information I asked you to find out a while ago?"

Liu Jiang immediately took out a pamphlet from his arms and handed it to Liu Pei, saying: "We have found some information. However, time is tight and the information we have found is not comprehensive. Moreover, these pirates sometimes do not fly flags at all, so it is difficult to distinguish them.

Who is who? What’s more, they usually deliver goods at sea and attack fat sheep when they see them, which makes it even more difficult to distinguish whether they are merchants or pirates!"

Liu Pei flipped the booklet and said while reading: "Then why can others identify our boat so accurately?"

Liu Jiang laughed twice and said, "That's natural. Our family has the most new ships on the sea now! So as long as you see a new ship and take action, you can't go wrong!"

After hearing this, Liu Pei suddenly realized and muttered a few words bitterly. He thought about making the boat older? But when he thought that Zheng Zhilong would target him regardless of whether it was old or not, Liu Pei gave up this idea.

Liu Pei threw the pamphlet back to Liu Jiang and said: "Keep asking for information. You have to find a way to find out more carefully. Who are the leaders of those pirates? Which faction do they belong to? What are their flags? The more detailed the better.

In addition, find someone to copy these things that have been found out at night and distribute them to all the captains."

Liu Jiang knew that the matter was of great importance, so he agreed repeatedly. Then he asked: "Master, besides these things, do you have any other instructions?"

Liu Pei said: "How many pirates' lairs have you found?"

Liu Jiang said in embarrassment: "Only five pirate nests have been found. Most of them are independent pirates, and only one is dependent on Li Dan, and they are not very powerful."

Liu Pei was a little unhappy after hearing this, frowned and said, "Why is the progress so slow?"

Liu Jiang hurriedly whispered: "Master, the problem is not that the progress is slow, but that our people are all strangers, so it is difficult to get into the pirate team. Moreover, these pirates have sealed their lair very tightly, making it difficult to inquire!

The ones I know now are all based on luck."

Liu Pei rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, suppressed the irritability in his heart and said: "Okay then. Continue to collect information in this area. We are going to have a long hard time!"

Liu Jiang

He immediately said: "I understand, Master! I will try my best!"

Liu Pei also knew that Liu Jiang had indeed tried his best, and comforted him with a few words before waving for Liu Jiang to exit. He himself sat behind the desk and carefully thought about Zheng Zhilong's next move.

Liu Pei knows that in fact, from now on, there is a completely irreconcilable conflict between Liu Pei and Zheng Zhilong. As the leader of the sea, Zheng Zhilong cannot suppress even a new pirate. This will be a lifelong shame for him.

!So no matter from which level, Zheng Zhilong must force Liu Pei to bow his head, or at worst, kill Liu Pei.

And Liu Pei knew that once he bowed his head, he would be despised and despised by everyone! Everyone would attack him as long as they had the chance. So at this time, both of them had no way out! The only way was to tell the difference! This foreshadows

A series of bloody battles and countless casualties!

In the following days, Liu Pei's fleet returned one after another. Without exception, the captains reported that they had been attacked to varying degrees. From long-term tailing to head-on combat! There were many casualties among the sailors.

Fortunately for Liu Pei, however, all the ships had been equipped with new cannons and barreled grapeshot. Relying on powerful fire suppression, the sailors were able to repel the enemy's attack!

The situation is slightly better only for the fleets transporting victims. Because they appear in fleets, and pirates are often single ships. Therefore, most pirates tend to stay away from the fleet when they see it. However,

There were also ships circling around them, tracking, testing, and finally being driven away. Therefore, Liu Pei's foundation in Shandong and the secret of occupying Ryukyu were finally preserved!

After all the ships returned to port, Liu Pei held a meeting. The main body of the meeting was attended by naval officers, but Qi Qitao and several army officers attended on behalf of the army.

Before the meeting started, the conference room was full of people, but this time everyone did not joke with each other like in previous meetings. Because everyone realized the seriousness of the situation. This made the atmosphere in the conference room a bit heavy and depressing.

Liu Pei was the last to arrive at the conference room. As soon as he entered the door, the guard standing in front of him immediately shouted: "The commander is here! Everyone stand up!"

Everyone present stood up and saluted Liu Pei. After returning the salute, Liu Pei said: "Everyone, please sit down."

After everyone sat down, Liu Pei said: "I think everyone has discovered that there is a problem on the sea. Now I will introduce the specific situation to you."

At Liu Pei's signal, Wu Yizhou stood up. He had communicated with Liu Pei for a long time before, so he knew the specific situation. He explained all the situations on the sea and their origins in detail. Finally, he said:

"To sum up, the pressure we are facing now is extremely huge.

Big! It can be said that all the merchants and pirates on the entire sea are attacking us! It’s just that some people are slightly weaker in order to retain their strength. So everyone can’t take it lightly!”

After Wu Yizhou sat down, everyone present looked at each other with very heavy expressions! No one could face such heavy pressure without changing their expressions. After all, the name Li Dan is too terrible, because it represents the maritime order of Asia!

Liu Pei saw everyone's looks and could guess what everyone was thinking. He knocked on the table to tell everyone to pay attention, and then said: "Actually, things are not as bad as everyone thinks. Because we are not facing Li Dan.

He is Li Dan's successor. Everyone should be able to understand the huge difference between the two."

"If I face Li Dan, I will surrender immediately without even thinking about it! And give generous gifts in exchange for Li Dan's forgiveness. You must know that the power of the sea is actually scattered now. It is scattered among large and small maritime merchants and merchants.

In the hands of pirates. Only a person as famous and dominant as Li Dan can integrate all maritime merchants and pirates! But I want to tell you some good news here, that is, Li Dan is dying!"

When the people present heard the news, they immediately whispered among themselves, with excited expressions on their faces. But Liu Jiang lowered his head in shame. He found out nothing about Li Dan. So Liu Pei released the information

Make him embarrassed!

Of course, this piece of information was not discovered by Liu Pei. It was picked up by Liu Pei from a history book. But no matter where this information came from, it did have a very good effect. There is no one among the following people.

The heavy pressure just now made Liu Pei feel eager to try!

So Liu Pei struck while the iron was hot and said: "According to intelligence estimates, Li Dan may not be able to survive July or August because his body can no longer support it."

The people below made a loud noise and made a louder discussion. Liu Pei had to knock on the table again to signal everyone to be quiet. Liu Pei then said: "Li Dan is very powerful! But Zheng Zhilong will not have the power of Li Dan! He should

Control a part of Li Dan’s loyal fleet, as well as part of his own fleet. And the number will not be too many! After all, he is just an heir! And he is not his biological son!”

"So, facing an heir with an unstable foundation, we have nothing to fear! Because most pirates and maritime merchants are just frightened by Li Dan's power. While Li Dan is still alive, Zheng Zhilong can easily

Deploy other people's fleets. But if Li Dan dies, as long as we show enough ability to fight back, most pirates and merchants will retreat!"
