As Li Liangzuo himself slowly grew old, his sons gradually grew up, and the struggle for power between brothers was inevitable.
In saying that Li Qing, the king of Yan, was making contributions at sea at this time, the Jingtao Gang was basically annihilated by Li Qing's fleet in one fell swoop, but the number of pirate deaths was not very large, basically everyone was fished up and became prisoners, and on the flagship of the Xia army, the Sea Dragon, the two brothers Zhou Tao and Zhou Hai were escorted to Li Qing.
Li Qing looked at the two of them and said, "How about the three masters, this time, do we still count our agreement, do you surrender or get out?"
Zhou Hai didn't speak, and Zhou Tao, who was kneeling on the side, said: "The wisdom and martial arts of the big boss, our brothers have served, this sea area will belong to the big boss from today onwards, and our brothers will leave here." ” "Who are you?"
"Zhou Tao, who is in charge of the next storm."
"Zhou Da is in charge, your ships are basically sinking, where are you going with so many people" Li Qing asked Zhou Tao.
"What does it mean to be a big boss?"
Li Qing said to Zhou Tao: "They are all out to beg for a living, it is not easy for everyone, I am also forced to fight with Zhou Dangjia today, Zhou Dangjia tells you the truth, Lao Tzu is just exploring the way this time, and there will be a large number of ships of the Beihai Gang going south after the beginning of spring next year, not to mention this sea area, where we go in the future, where the territory is ours; I now give two words of advice to Zhou Da's master, the first is to surrender, and the second is to return to the land to live the life of ordinary people, you two discuss slowly, I am not in a hurry. ” After Li Qing finished speaking, he left, and Zheng Baolin followed Li Qing out of the cabin and said, "Lord Wang, you really plan to absorb them, this group of pirates doesn't even have a bottom line." ” "There is no bottom line, it depends on who brings it, this is an experienced veteran of naval warfare, now we lack nothing, what is lacking is such a veteran, when the time comes, we will scatter them and scatter them to various departments, which can quickly improve our combat effectiveness."
Li Qing said very confidently.
"Big brother, what should we do if you are us" Zhou Hai asked Zhou Tao.
Zhou Tao said with sharp eyes: "The young man led by him is not an ordinary person, he has a murderous aura, and it is a very strong murderous aura, you look at this warship, and the equipment, this is not something that ordinary pirates can have."
"What does that big brother mean?"
"It is very likely that they were officers and sailors who had defected from the north, and I could see that the young man was very ambitious; The three of us have been adrift at sea with our brothers, and at most we can only have enough food and clothing, and following him may be able to give our brothers a good way to live.
Zhou Tao said after thinking about it.
"Since the eldest brother has decided, then I will listen to the eldest brother."
After a while, Li Qing came in and asked the two, "How are you thinking about it?"
"It's okay for our brothers to surrender, but we have two conditions."
Zhou Tao said to Li Qing.
"What conditions, tell me and let this king hear it."
Li Qing said in a speech.
"This king" Zhou Tao looked at Li Qing with a questioning face.
Li Qing immediately explained: "This king's nickname in Beihai is the Demon King of the Mixed World, you can call me the prince in the future; Don't talk about that, let's talk about what conditions you have."
"First, after we surrender, the prince must treat all his brothers well, and if there are pirates who are not far away, the prince must let them go, and they must not be forced."
"Okay, this king agreed."
"Second, there are many women, children and old people on our island, and the prince's people are not allowed to burn, kill and loot after they go to the island."
"In the future, we will all be a family, and your family will also be the king's family, and the king will not treat them badly."
Li Qing said: "Don't you make some demands for yourself?"
"If the prince is not afraid of our brother, our brother is willing to go to the soup for the prince," Zhou Tao said.
Under the leadership of Zhou Tao and Zhou Hai, Li Qing's fleet began to move towards Zhoujia Island, Zhoujia Island is not an island, but composed of five small islands, but Zhou Tao limited manpower only occupied the largest of the small islands, the entire Zhoujia Islands is northeast to southwest direction, there are two islands of the same size at both ends, there are three small islands in the middle, from a distance to see the whole island is lush, this must be an excellent tourist attraction after hundreds of years.
The main island where Zhou Tao is located is located on the largest island in the east, the whole island is surrounded by cliffs, only in the southwest direction there is a very hidden entrance, it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, in order to prevent misunderstanding, Li Liangzuo said to Zhou Tao: "You take Zhou Hai and the two of you to the island first, and explain the matter to the people you left behind." ” Let Zhou Tao and Zhou Hai land on the island, which greatly surprised Zhou Tao's expectations, after the two left, Zheng Baolin said to Li Qing: "Lord Wang, you put both of them back, if they regret it, we don't even have a hostage in our hands." ” Li Qing said with a smile: "Don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people; If they surrender and resist, then there is no need for the king to show mercy, you see this island is surrounded by cliffs, although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is also a dead land, as long as we block this only outlet to the sea, we can trap them alive in it, the two of them are smart people, since they decided to use them, we must let them see the sincerity of this king. ” After Zhou Tao returned to the island, he summoned everyone and told Zhou Yang and other left-behind people everything, Zhou Yang asked Zhou Tao: "Big brother, are you sure you want to let them go to the island?"
"No, if they wanted to do that, they wouldn't let me and Zhou Hai come back together," Zhou Tao said.
Under the persuasion of Zhou Tao, Zhou Yang and the others all went to the dock to welcome Li Qing and others to the island, and from this moment on, it also marked that Li Qing completely subdued this group of pirates, and had the first habitat above the sea, after all, Zhoujia Island is much better than Montenegro Island in terms of area and strategic position.
After the force landed on the island, he was very dissatisfied with the scene in front of him, this was indeed a pirate den, and the living quarters were in a mess; Li Qing said as he walked: "This island can no longer be called Zhoujia Island in the future, from today it will be renamed Canghai Island, here will be our foundation in the sea from now on, this king will take you to create a piece of our own world on this sea."
At this time, Li Qing was full of pride, Canghai Island was the first base of the Xia Army's sailors in the sea, from Zhou Tao's mouth Li Qing learned that this was already close to the place of the Japanese Kingdom, and it was an important trade route between the Great Song Dynasty and the Japanese State for seven or eight days to the south, but where the situation was more complicated, occupying where was a group of Japanese people headed by the Japanese people, there were many people, and the ships that passed by from wherever had to pay protection fees, otherwise they would only be robbed.
