Pirate Avenger

Chapter 76 Family Meeting
When Spark raised the issue of the alliance, many core members of the Li family actually agreed.After fighting the pirate group headed by the Lai Dao family for so long, everyone in the Li family, who knew Lai Dao well, understood that the calm after the defeat of Lai Dao was just the calm before the storm.Therefore, not only did everyone not relax, but they raised their vigilance.

Especially when they came to the island to expand their power with great fanfare under the banner of a big name, the Li family felt like the mountains and rains were about to come.

Everyone knows that if Lai Dao wins the final victory, Lai Dao's character will definitely lead the troops to fight the battle of revenge with the power of victory. This battle is inevitable.

But how, when, and where to fight this battle is very knowledgeable. For this reason, the Li family held a family meeting of core members.

Some people advocate that when coming to the island to face off against the Pirate Alliance, they should catch him by surprise and hit him hard.But the proposal was quickly rejected.Let's not talk about whether this matter can be done with the current strength of the Li family.

From a purely matter-of-fact point of view, who can guarantee that the Pirate Alliance will not stab a knife in the back.You must know that this is not as simple as an enemy's enemy being a friend.Once there is a mistake, the Li family's fleet will inevitably suffer from the enemy.

Since the bright ones don't work, play dark ones with them.Some people think that the Li family can also support one or two powerful pirate groups to control barbarians with barbarians.However, this proposal was rejected by Li Huamei before it could be discussed.The person who proposed was also scolded by Li Huamei.

In fact, it is also to blame for this person not speaking through the brain.What Li Huamei hates the most is these Japanese pirates, and the death of her father Li Rusong was the other party's fault. Li Huamei has dedicated her life to eradicating the Japanese pirates. Even though she is currently powerless, it is impossible for her to win the victory by subsidizing the Japanese pirates. Tan.

Furthermore, who can guarantee that these greedy and bloodthirsty guys can get money to do things?It is probably good to take the money and run away, but if it is self-defeating, you will be bitten back.And once the Li family was confirmed to have secretly funded the Japanese pirates, the blow to the Li family's reputation would undoubtedly be devastating.

Such a bad idea, if the person who didn't know the proposal would never have second thoughts, Spark would have thought it was a spy sent by someone.No wonder Li Huamei was furious.

The opinion of the main combat faction is that they are just pretending to be fake, taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese pirates are fighting a pot of porridge, fishing in troubled waters, and repeat the feat of Spark and others.

Many people agreed with this proposal, but Spark thought it was not feasible.Today is different from the past, and Spark's success is largely due to the opponent's carelessness and the meddling of the Spirit.

Let me just ask, if all five ships had come to round up the Huachang, escape would have been the best result.

The opponent had suffered a great loss because of this before, and it was already a panic.It is absolutely impossible to make the same mistake again.Therefore, the success of Operation Spark cannot be replicated.

Seeing that the opinion of the main combat faction was rejected, the conservative faction took the opportunity to propose and advocate strengthening coastal defense. The fleet does not need to go to Japan to make trouble, but just obediently guard the homeland at the doorstep.

Yang Xi'en was very disdainful of this proposal.First of all, the matter of coastal defense is not up to the Li family to decide.Hangzhou is a good place, but other areas are beyond the reach of the Li family.

Funding is possible, but it is still unknown whether the Li family has the financial resources and how many places they can support. Whether the donated money can be used for coastal defense is still unknown.Or to put it more clearly, with the current level of corruption of the government, most of the money is meat buns and dogs-it will never come back!

Besides, even if the Li family tried their best to consolidate Hangzhou, the fleet would not be able to hide, defend the city of Hangzhou, and protect the Li family, but is this what Li Huamei wants?Of course not.What Li Huamei wanted was not just to protect the Li family's integrity!But the peace of all coastal people.Li Huamei would rather not do it if the people in other regions suffer untold suffering because of this move.

Some outsiders may think that Li Huamei is so ambitious and overreaching.Strictly speaking, this is true.But Li Huamei is such an emotional person, she did just that.Although the imperial court repeatedly exploited her, the people feared her, and the pirates hated her, except for the Li family, she only had the title of "Xiangfeihu".But Li Huamei did it without hesitation!
Opinions were raised one after another, and rejected one after another.Until Spark came up with the idea of ​​an alliance.

It is true that the enemy is powerful, so we can unite.In response to this proposal, everyone launched a heated discussion.More than a dozen objects that could be alliances were listed one by one by everyone.

In the great Ming Dynasty, there were not many people of insight. In the matter of fighting against the Japanese pirates, naturally the Li family would not be the only one.However, they are also subject to the sea ban policy and do not have connections with the Li family, so their strength is limited.However, gathering sand into a tower, if they can unite all of them, is also a force that should not be underestimated.

But Spark doesn't think that's enough.Considering the support of the powerful daimyo behind the island and the scale of the acquisition after the victory, Spark has reason to believe that the Li family will face an unprecedentedly large Japanese pirate group.This force cannot be handled by a dozen warships.Even with the best intentions, it is nothing but the result of a dead stone.

So Spark boldly put forward his own idea, unite with foreign forces, and drive away tigers and wolves!And his target is the Malay governor Preyla who has had a short-term cooperation.

As soon as this suggestion was put forward, it was strongly opposed by everyone, even Li Huamei did not agree.

It's easy to invite gods to send gods away, and now it's said to be driving tigers and devouring wolves, but who can guarantee that it won't be leading wolves into the house in the future!
Since Spark arrived in the world of the Age of Discovery, he has not limited his sight to the situation in front of him. He has been secretly investigating the power groups in the entire surrounding area of ​​Ming Dynasty through various channels.Now is the time for him to show the results.Spark argues for it, and the main points are as follows:
First, the Preyla Chamber of Commerce has also had business dealings with the Ming Dynasty over the years.Although there is also the phenomenon of bullying prices, but there are principles and bottom lines in doing things, which is in stark contrast to the Japanese pirates who have always killed chickens and eggs.

Second, according to Spark's understanding, Preyla himself is a militant who advocates frontal attack, and disdains to do despicable things behind his back.

Thirdly, Preyla's hometown is far away in Malacca, and he is the Governor of Malay, so Southeast Asia is his home field.In addition, he has always been eyeing the Indian Ocean, so his East Asia policy has always been seeking money.

Fourth, Japan was not a unified country like the Ming Dynasty.There are countless big and small names in its limited land, and the smaller ones, Spark even doubts whether they can beat Xiangyong led by a mayor in Hangzhou City.

Perhaps a powerful name like Nagasaki can bring unprecedented pressure to the Li family, but if the opponent is a Malay governor with half of Southeast Asia as support.Even if Preyla only sent a small number of fleets, the pressure it brought was not comparable to that of the Li family.

Fifth, the huge silver mines near Nagasaki are fatally attractive to any force.And if Preyla can occupy this vein, for him who is in a stalemate with the Governor of Java, Kuhn, this will undoubtedly greatly increase his war potential.If he promises some reciprocity in business, Spark doesn't believe that the other party won't take the bait.

Finally, the legion under Preyla has the military strength to destroy the Kuroshima family and even the daimyo behind it.But such a powerful military strength is not enough to cause huge damage to the Ming Dynasty.And the other party has no such will at all.

To sum up, Spark believes that in addition to the previously selected joint partners, Preyla is the most suitable person.Coupled with the background of the Li family's British side, if it is handled properly, Preyla will agree to the Li family's proposal.

Spark's analysis is well-founded, but it is impossible for Li Huamei to only listen to his one-sided words.After the family meeting, the Li family began to secretly inquire about Preyla's information.Judging from the various feedback information in the past six months, the other party is indeed what Spark said.At the same time, the Great Pirate Alliance has been chasing after the island, and it is gradually showing signs of decline.

Li Huamei knew it was time to make a choice.After a long test, this "Xiangfeihu", who is a heroine, finally made up his mind.
