Chapter 1427 Prepare for war

Hearing this, Li Guozhu felt a little bitter.

How could he not know that the tiger flag could build the Garen ship, and the earliest group of ship workers were the people captured by his father from Luzon and Batavia.

Without these people, the Tiger Flag could not have built a Garen ship.

Unfortunately, the tiger flag can build Garen ships on Dayuan Island, but their Li family cannot, even if they catch the ship workers who will build Garen ships.

Unlike the tiger flag, although his father is the leader of a force, many people below do not obey their father and son in everything.

Everyone knows that the Red-Fareless Garen ship is good, but no one is willing to spend a lot of money without making any money, and spend a lot of manpower and material resources to build the Garen ship. Even the tiger flag took several years to build its own Garen ship.

After all, it is a very troublesome thing to build a Garen ship, and it costs a lot of money. More importantly, the Garen ship may be stronger in terms of force, but it may not allow the people below to make more money. With the money to build a Garen ship, it is better to build a few more lucky ships.

So when they knew that the tiger flag could build the Garen ship, their father and son were really envious.

If their father could be like Liu Heng, who was in the tiger flag, in his power, he would have had someone build his own Garen ship long ago.

But it was precisely because they couldn't build it themselves that the tiger flag could build the Garen ship, which also gave them a great sense of crisis for their father and son.

The Tiger Flag is different from the Dutch East India Company. The Dutch East India Company has limited people and ships in Batavia, but the Tiger Flag is the local force of the Ming Dynasty. As long as there are enough ships, you can get enough manpower from the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that no matter how powerful the Dutch East India Company is, it cannot threaten their Li family. However, the tiger-shaped flag is different. Once the tiger-shaped flag is strong to a certain extent, it will inevitably become a rival to the Li family. In the future, either the Li family will annex the tiger-shaped flag or the tiger-shaped flag will annex the Li family.

More importantly, the foundation of the tiger flag is in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty. Even if it is defeated at sea, there is still a chance to make a comeback. At most, wait a few more years, but once the Li family is defeated, there will be nothing left.

This is also the fact that even though his father and son knew that they would take more effort to introduce the Dutch East India Company to Bengang, they would still have to do so.

It is really the tiger flag that poses too much threat to their Li family.

Li Guozhu took the boat and gradually moved away from Dayuan Island and headed towards Hirado.

He knew in his heart that as long as he brought back the news that the tiger flag did not agree to the Dutch East India Company's ships set up supply points on the Dama Island, the Dutch East India Company in Batavia would send a fleet to the Dama Island.

At that time, the Tiger Flag would fight the Dutch East India Company fleet in the waters near Dayuan Island.

On the Daguan Island, Zheng Tie and Yan Weixin sat in the room.

Not only the two of them, but also the island’s military judge Li Zhao and sailor instructor Zheng Chao, and the island’s military barracks Xing Chaoxi, are all here.

Several people sat down separately.

There was a cup of hot tea in front of everyone. Apart from the secretary who was recorded, there was no other person in the room. Even the guards around them were arranged to wait outside.

"That's what happened. Tell me what you think!" Yan Weixin told Li Guozhu's purpose, including the news that Hongmaoyi's fleet would soon come to Dayuan Island.

Li Zhao, who was sitting opposite Yan Weixin, spoke first and said: "The news that the Red-Farewell Fleet is coming to Dayuan Island needs to be sent to send the news back."

"The news must be sent back, but this is not the point. After all, it takes a long time to go back and forth. You can't wait for the owner to give us an order. What we need to discuss next is how to resist the Red Maverick Yi's fleet." Yan Weixin reminded.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xing Chaoxi said, "Red-Fao Yi has long had the ambition to invade Daguan Island, and this time they let them taste our power."

"Yes, when things have come to this point, we have no choice but to fight." Zheng Chao also spoke.

Zheng Tie, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at the people in front of him and said, "We all know the strength of the Red-Farewell Fleet, so we must win this battle, and we must also win beautifully. Otherwise, even if we defeat the Red-Farewell Fleet, Li Dan might take the opportunity to take advantage. After all, he has always been dissatisfied with his power withdrawing from the Daguan Island."

"Hmph, this old guy thinks he is really the Jiabi Dan in the mouths of those barbarians!" Xing Chaoxi snorted coldly.

Kapidan is the name of the Han leaders by those Red-Fei Yi.

But in the eyes of everyone with the tiger flag, Li Dan is just a pirate leader. If you want to monopolize the benefits of the Ming Dynasty's maritime trade, you are not worthy of being called a leader at all.

Li Zhao said: "Our ship should be enough! The Red-Fao Yi has many ships and thousands of soldiers in Batavia. These people are more difficult to deal with than the pirates under Li Dan's hands."

"No matter how many ships the Red Maverick Yi have in Batavia, it is impossible for them to be sent to Dayuan Island. We fight in the waters around Dayuan Island and take advantage of them. Those sand ships can be used near the sea." Zheng Tie explained to Li Zhao.

Hearing this, Li Zhao nodded.

Although they built a lot of ships in Bengang, including Galen ships, there was still a gap compared to the Red Mavericks in Batavia. After all, they had been on the sea for too short.

If Liu Heng had not used all the money earned from the sea trade on shipbuilding, he would probably have been even bigger now.

"How about sailors? If you have a boat, you can't use it by sailors, otherwise it would be useless if you can't drive at sea." Zheng Tie looked at Zheng Chao.

Zheng Chao said: "Don't worry, the commander is enough for sailors. Not only that, there are also many sailors on sailboats. There will never be a boat that cannot leave the sea because of a shortage of sailors."

"My war barracks have been training with the ship for a long time, and I will never drag them down." Xing Chaoxi from the war barracks also spoke.

As the warriors on the Dasheng Island, the battle on land is limited, and more of the battle on the ship, jumping gangs, and seizing ships all require the people on the ship to do it.

The soldiers in the war barracks must not only form formations and fight on the ship like soldiers on land.

Although his father and his men defeated the Dutch East India Company's fleet at sea, the number of ships and sailors lost far more than the Dutch East India Company.

If it weren't for the fleet of the Dutch East India Company's hometown that wanted to come to Hirado, it would have to walk on the sea for a year, and it would be hard to say who will win and who will lose in the end.
