The flag bearer on the main pole of Li Xiang's flagship was waving the flag in his hand to send a signal.
Although Zhao Hongyu¡¯s fleet has wireless walkie-talkies with a signal range of about ten miles, this heaven-defying thing cannot be disclosed to Li Xiang for the time being.
¡°After all, Li Xiang has just come over, so he still needs to observe it.
If Li Xiang is not trustworthy, then there are some things that he should not let him know.
Of course, Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t have to worry about investigating Li Xiang.
Today, here in Nagasaki, the Imperial Intelligence Agency has been established, and the personnel are already in place. On Li Xiang's flagship, there are many Chinese intelligence officers who are disguised as ordinary soldiers. They can judge whether Li Xiang is trustworthy through daily observation.
Since the day the Imperial Intelligence Department was established, Wang Shan, Zhang Tie and Song Hu have established a strict inspection system for those who join the Empire or come to join the Empire, except for genetic people.
However, this kind of investigation is not known to outsiders, and it is still conducted secretly.
Therefore, even Li Xiang doesn¡¯t know that there are already many pairs of eyes staring at him around him.
However, in addition to the investigation of people like Li Xiang, there are such people around them such as Tokugawa Kayo, Hattori Onizou, Iguchi Zozo and Kawabe Yuuji.
These intelligence officers selected from the genetic people are authorized to kill their targets with full authority if they find signs of rebellion.
¡°As for this, Zhao Hongyu also agreed.
After all, this is all to ensure his safety and the safety of the empire.
In addition, the Ministry of Intelligence is also very concerned about the internal affairs.
After all, among the genetic people cultivated in the early days, there are still some European and American fans who are brain-dead.
Therefore, intelligence agencies have to pay attention to such situations internally.
Although idiot fans are idiots, you can¡¯t underestimate their destructive power.
Once the idiot fans get mad, it will cause great damage to the security of the empire.
Therefore, we must strictly control externally, but the same is true internally.
The advantage of doing this is obvious, that is, you can detect signs of something wrong early and then quickly kill them.
Furthermore, it ensured the safety of Zhao Hongyu and the stability of the empire.
Fortunately, the Imperial Intelligence Department has been established for almost two years and a half, and so far no factors affecting the stability of the empire have been discovered.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????In addition to investigating the genetic people suspected of being brain-dead fans internally, the Intelligence Department also mainly investigated the Indians in Manhattan, as well as European and Indian citizens who graduated from the brainwashing academy.
Now, as the empire¡¯s territory expands and Zhao Hongyu extends the empire¡¯s tentacles to Europe and the East, the Imperial Intelligence Department has even more things to do.
When Zhao Hongyu left Kyushu, the Intelligence Department naturally had to monitor and inspect the people who stayed in Kyushu. This was also inevitable.
Hattori Chiyo and others, as well as people like Li Xiang, have always been outsiders to the empire.
Even if they (they) sincerely come here, they (she) cannot really gain recognition.
Ideological barriers will still exist. Although genetic people are cultivated, they always think of themselves as ¡®modern people¡¯.
Therefore, when they look at ancient people like Li Xiang and Hattori Chiyo from the perspective of "modern people", they will always show a touch of contempt from their bones.
It¡¯s just that this kind of contempt is well hidden and not easily discovered by everyone.
" Moreover, most of the genetic people under Zhao Hongyu were cultivated in batches. Most of these batch-cultivated genetic people do not have independent intelligent thinking, so they cannot express such emotions.
Otherwise, Li Xiang and the others would definitely be able to feel this slight contempt.
Li Xiang slowly walked to the bow of the ship with his nephew. The cold sea breeze blew Li Xiang's silver hair. He said to his nephew Yang Biao: "Now we have surrendered to the Song Empire and established a foothold in Kyushu. Zheng Zhilong should be there. It¡¯s impossible not to know this news, after all, there must be Zheng Zhilong¡¯s spies in Nagasaki.¡±
Yang Biao did not interrupt, but stood there and listened carefully to his uncle analyzing this matter for him.
"Who are we now? We are already the subjects of the Song Empire, and we are no longer the pirates we were before." Li Xiang looked up slightlyHead, eyes flashing continuously. Yang Biao, who was standing beside him, froze after hearing this.
It seems that he has some enlightenment.
"Kiuzhou was originally the territory of the Japanese, but it was seized by the Song Empire by force, and now it belongs to the Song Empire. In other words, if Zheng Zhilong wants to attack here, it is absolutely impossible to mobilize the Fujian Navy , because one bad thing is to declare war on the Song Empire. Zheng Zhilong absolutely does not want to see such a thing happen, and he cannot avoid it with his status."
Based on the situation in Ming Dynasty, as well as Zheng Zhilong¡¯s status and identity, Li Xiang began to analyze his nephew bit by bit.
"So, I think the most he can do is use part of the Zheng family's strength to test us first and see how much weight there is. I'm thinking that if Zheng Zhilong sends people over, then the number of the fleet will definitely not be too large, and most of them will The fleet is definitely not his direct fleet."
Li Xiang knows Zheng Zhilong too well, because they are enemies, so Li Xiang knows Zheng Zhilong¡¯s character very well.
With Zheng Zhilong¡¯s temperament, he would definitely not let Wang Renzeng die.
After all, Zheng Zhilong is now the uncrowned king of the Eastern Sea, and he must maintain his face and dignity.
" He had just become the overlord of Shanghai, and one of the twelve bosses in his hands was killed. This was a slap in his face.
So, no matter what, this tone must be spoken.
¡°Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t it make others think that Zheng Zhilong is easy to bully?
Once people think this way, it will be very troublesome for Zheng Zhilong to command the sea.
After all, half of Zheng Zhilong¡¯s fleet belongs to others.
"These people are now vassaling him, isn't it because he is powerful and ferocious?"
Because no one dares to offend him, for fear that they will not have a good life after offending him.
At the same time, as Li Xiang loses power, Zheng Zhilong¡¯s rise is unstoppable.
Under such circumstances, it is very understandable that everyone turns to Zheng Zhilong to save themselves.
However, Zheng Zhilong has conquered these people with his strength and intimidation, so he must maintain this strong posture at all times, so that those people will not have ambitions.
Therefore, something like being slapped in the face cannot be laughed off.
¡°Besides, it was Wang Renzeng who died, a guy that outsiders thought was Li Xiang¡¯s direct descendant. In any case, Wang Renzeng was also one of the twelve leaders, an old man who followed Zheng Zhilong.
Therefore, it was impossible for Zheng Zhilong to let this matter go, both emotionally and rationally, as if nothing had happened.
"However, Zheng Zhilong is not a fool. Even if he wants revenge, he will not do it right away.
He needs to understand some of the enemy's deployment and strength, and then only after formulating a solid plan can he solve this problem.
In other words, Zheng Zhilong is the kind of person who is used to making decisions and then acting. He is not the kind of person who has a hot temper.
Therefore, when he cannot use the Fujian Navy and contact the Dengzhou Navy, he must test the quality of Jiuzhou, that is, weigh the weight of Jiuzhou.
If Jiuzhou shows its strength in the early testing, then although Zheng Zhilong will not swallow this breath, it will at least give Jiuzhou a period of stability.
When Zheng Zhilong is not fully prepared, he will not launch a full-scale attack on Kyushu.
However, if Zheng Zhilong discovers that Jiuzhou is not powerful at all after testing it. Then what awaits Jiuzhou will be Zheng Zhilong's all-out attack, and Zheng Zhilong will also use his network to exert influence in the court.
???????????????? Once he captures Kyushu, his achievements in opening up and expanding the territory will surely bring Zheng Zhilong to the top.
By then, he had gained a high position in the court, the Zheng family's fleet at sea continued to be pirates, and he himself controlled the Fujian navy He was the winner in life.
It can be said that Li Xiang has a very accurate grasp of Zheng Zhilong's thoughts.
Even Li Xiang felt that if he and Zheng Zhilong switched positions and put him in Zheng Zhilong's position, he would actually be able to do almost as little as Zheng Zhilong.
"Uncle, what do you mean, Zheng Zhilong will come to test the strength of Jiuzhou first?" Yang Biao finally understood.
Li Xiang nodded: "This is to test the power of Jiuzhou"First, at the same time, he can also take advantage of this incident to get rid of some people. Zheng Zhilong is a cruel guy. "
Li Xiang narrowed her eyes.
Yang Biao is a little confused at this time Use our hands to deal with some people? Who does Zheng Zhilong want to deal with? Is there anyone who still refuses to deal with him?
It seems that in the past, only my uncle and Zheng Zhilong fought back and forth, but now that they have joined the Song Empire, it is impossible that there is anyone on the eastern sea who can challenge Zheng Zhilong.
"You, although you are very smart sometimes, you still haven't used your smartness in the right place." After Li Xiang saw her nephew's puzzled look, she raised her hand in disgust. He received a slap on the head.
Ouch!
"Uncle, why are you hitting me as you talk?"
After Yang Biao was slapped by Li Xiang, he deliberately exaggerated his cry.
Li Xiang actually has high hopes for this nephew.
Li Xiang has two daughters and one son. Unfortunately, his son is timid by nature and it is impossible for him to inherit his team and sail on the sea.
So, Li Xiang has some ideas about this nephew.
Now he is the Admiral of the Kyushu Navy, and someone will always have to fill this position in the future.
Although it is not up to him to decide who will take this position, at least he has to pave the way for his nephew Yang Biao.
As for his son let him just be a normal person.
¡°Besides, Li Xiang has been a pirate all his life and has accumulated a lot of money.
Although my son has accomplished nothing, he can at least become a rich man.
I heard that there is a lot of fertile land in America. I will buy a large piece of land and leave it to my son, so that he can be a happy landowner.
Because he has no hope for his son, he now has high expectations for his nephew.
Especially this nephew who has been with him since he was a child. He is the child he has seen since he was a child. Therefore, in his heart, he is no different from his son.
"Zheng Zhilong's real strength is actually the Zheng family's direct fleet under his command, that is, the pirate fleet that has not been merged into the Fujian Navy." After Li Xiang slapped him, he began to explain to Yang Biao. "The other half of the force is due to the strong rise of Zheng Zhilong, who feel unable to fight against the pirates who vassalized him. In order to prevent being annexed by Zheng Zhilong, they have secretly united together. Even the brother who betrayed me has joined into this union.¡±
Yes, Zheng Zhilong looks extremely powerful, but inside he is actually full of crises.
¡°It¡¯s just that there is no one on the sea here who can compete with Zheng Zhilong.
Therefore, it is impossible for those pirates who took refuge in the past to have any strange thoughts.
You should give in and take refuge, but you should still be on guard against what should be guarded against.
¡°After all, everyone has their own interests, and the ships and people on hand are the capital.
If all the capital is gone, the end of being a pirate will be very miserable.
Therefore, in order to prevent being annexed by Zheng Zhilong, the pirates who took refuge in the past made a private alliance.
They are not against Zheng Zhilong, but they have agreed that if Zheng Zhilong wants to attack everyone, then they must unite to fight against Zheng Zhilong.
"As for these people, do you think Zheng Zhilong doesn't know their little plans?" Li Xiang sneered at this. "The reason why Zheng Zhilong didn't mess with them is because Zheng Zhilong felt that the gains were not worth the losses. And he wanted to fight us at that time. So he had to steady these guys.¡±
"Now that we have surrendered to the Song Empire, Zheng Zhilong alone has the final say on the sea. How could he tolerate the existence of such a group of people who superficially belong to him, but have some small calculations?" Li Xiang's eyes flashed. Flashed. "So, taking advantage of this opportunity, I think Zheng Zhilong will definitely send these people here to test our capabilities and also want to lend our hands to deal with these people."
Li Xiang made it very clear when he said this, and it was impossible for Yang Biao to hear this and not understand what his uncle said.
"Uncle, what should we do?" Yang Biao thought about it and then asked. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
