Black Dragon Island is considered to be occupied by Wang Xiaoming, but it is not that easy to take over Black Dragon Island for his own use.

Wang Xiaoming couldn't leave at this time, because something would happen if he left Black Dragon Island, so Wang Xiaoming had to stay on Black Dragon Island until he completely occupied Black Dragon Island.

As the saying goes, no harm will come to the family, so Wang Xiaoming has no intention of killing all the family members of the pirate leader, and Wang Xiaoming has no intention of killing them all.

Even for the family of pirate leader Jiang Chen, Wang Xiaoming let them go. Of course, it was impossible for them to take away all their belongings.

Wang Xiaoming gave them a small boat, some belongings, and only gave them a thousand silver coins in cash. With this money, their family would be able to have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives. This was Wang Xiaoming's most benevolent act.

The rest of the pirate leader's family members were treated in the same way.

As for fear of their revenge, Wang Xiaoming is not afraid at all.

When the Black Dragon Pirates were still alive, they were not afraid anymore. What's more, now that the Black Dragon Pirates have been wiped out, are they still afraid of their revenge?

The strength of the Black Dragon Pirate Group is much stronger than that of Shuangjiao Island. Not to mention the materials, the number of personnel alone is more than ten times that of Shuangjiao Island.

This is also a normal situation, because many fishermen living near the sea have a difficult life. Instead of being a fisherman on land, it is better to be a fisherman on a pirate island.

Pirates are cruel to outsiders, but they also respect their own rules. As long as you work with peace of mind on the island, no one will bully you.

There are almost more than 60,000 people on Heilong Island, most of whom are fishermen families, and only a handful of them, about 5,000 to 6,000 are pirates.

It's just that it's often hard to tell who is a fisherman and who is a pirate. When too many pirates die and there are not enough soldiers, fishermen will join the pirates and become the pirate's force.

Therefore, it can also be said that these fishermen are reserve pirate personnel.

Food is hard to come by on the islands, so a large number of fishermen are needed. The sea fish caught by these fishermen are one of the main sources of food.

Therefore, every pirate's lair will have a large number of fishermen.

Heilong Island has a large number of people, and it is not easy to control it. If you are not careful, you may be in danger of something happening.

Fortunately, Wang Xiaoming, the god of killing, is here to take charge. When Wang Xiaoming attacked the island, although he didn't kill many people, just a few hundred people, he single-handedly killed hundreds of masters on the island.

It has a huge deterrent power. The whole island treats Wang Xiaoming as a devil. With Wang Xiaoming sitting here, who dares to cause trouble?

The manpower brought by Wang Xiaoming began to reorganize on Black Dragon Island. After five days of reorganization, many personnel on Black Dragon Island were cleared out, and the remaining personnel were reorganized according to the rules of the Feilong Pirate Group.

After the reorganization, the number of members of the Feilong Pirate Group expanded rapidly, with the total number reaching 5,000.

Although there are more people, it does not mean that the strength has increased.

Because sea battles are different from land battles. It is always better to have more people fighting on land, but sea battles still focus on sea-ship cannons. Although there are more people, sea-ship cannons have not increased, so the strength cannot be improved.

There is no problem with sea-going ships. There are also many sea-going ships captured on Black Dragon Island. Not counting those small ships, there are about ten large ships that can participate in the battle, but the artillery is very lacking.

There is also a lot of good news. There are also blacksmiths on Black Dragon Island. Not only are there blacksmiths, but they also have a lot of raw materials. It's just that these blacksmiths don't know the art of making cannons.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand craftsmanship. The blacksmiths on Shuangjiao Island know craftsmanship. Wang Xiaoming immediately mobilized a group of craftsmen from Shuangjiao Island. Under the leadership of these craftsmen, Heilong Island soon began to build cannons.

While developing his military force, Wang Xiaoming also sent people to investigate everywhere, trying to find a better base for himself.

Both Black Dragon Island and Shuangjiao Island are very small islands. It is no problem to serve as a pirate base, but if you want to use it as a stronghold for a big force, the conditions are much worse.

Wang Xiaoming's goal is to establish a stronghold in a place with sufficient resources.

What is sufficient resources?

The first is to have convenient transportation, and the second is to have abundant supplies, preferably iron ore and coal resources.

The target hasn't been found yet, but another piece of news has come through.

An intelligence officer who went out to inquire for information brought back a piece of news. However, it was because the Feilong Pirate Group captured two islands and wiped out two pirate groups in two consecutive operations. This incident has caused shock among the pirates.

Many pirates put everyone in danger.

The original Scimitar Pirates on Shuangjiao Island were nothing, just a group of small pirates, but the Black Dragon Pirates are big pirates and can even occupy the top ten among pirates.

But even such a powerful pirate was defeated overnight. Facing such a powerful pirate lineup, how could they not be worried or afraid?

Since he is afraid, he naturally has to strike first.

Several pirate gangs have joined forces to attack Black Dragon Island.

At this time, Black Dragon Island had just experienced war and was at its most vulnerable. It would be really difficult to deal with a large-scale attack.

After hearing the news, Wang Xiaoming suddenly became worried.

When it comes to guns, Wang Xiaoming is naturally not afraid of them, but if they want to fight at sea, they need to use artillery. Although their artillery is not advanced, it has already posed a threat to Wang Xiaoming's safety.

More importantly, once the battle breaks out on Black Dragon Island, it will cause great damage to Black Dragon Island. This is not a scene Wang Xiaoming wants to see.

Although Black Dragon Island is larger than Shuangjiao Island, its terrain is also more open, making it more conducive to enemy attacks.

Before war is prepared, Black Dragon Island cannot stop the opponent's attack, especially when the opponent is still relatively strong.

Just when Wang Xiaoming was a little worried, a pirate leader who had conquered Black Dragon Island gave a suggestion.

The pirate leader's name was Qian Daqing. He was originally a businessman, but later he offended people in the officialdom and his business could not continue. He took his family and his men to the sea and became a pirate.

Qian Daqing is tall and thin, with a somewhat gentle appearance. If you don't know, you won't be able to tell that he is a pirate.

Because of his background and experience, Qian Daqing is also in charge of money and food in the Black Dragon Pirates, and he is very proficient in this aspect.

After Qian Daqing learned about this, he gave a suggestion. Facing the attack of these pirates was easy, and he could spend money to eliminate the disaster.

Although spending money to eliminate disasters is an act of submission and you will also suffer losses, it can avoid a war. It is still very beneficial to the developing Feilong pirates.

Spending money to eliminate disasters also requires channels. If you send the money directly, not only will the money be gone, but it will also arouse the greed of the other party. Even if they didn't call you, they will now call you.

So it also matters how you spend your money.

How to do it is easy to say, just find a middleman.

According to Qian Daqing's idea, he should go to the pirate leader One-Eyed Tiger Du Sanbiao. The One-Eyed Tiger's power is one of the best on this sea, and he is a man of justice and keeps his promises. As long as the One-Eyed Tiger Du Sanbiao is willing to step forward and be a peacemaker, then things will be fine.

It's easy to handle.

This was a delaying tactic, and Wang Xiaoming felt that he could give it a try.

Qian Daqing said that he could first take someone over to check out the tone of Du Sanbiao, the one-eyed tiger, and then take a look at the situation.

Wang Xiaoming felt that this was not necessary, so he directly said that he would go and see for himself.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to see what kind of strength the strongest pirate group in this sea area had.

The one-eyed tiger Du Sanbiao's lair is very easy to find. Because the one-eyed tiger Du Sanbiao is very powerful, he occupies a large island, and outsiders are not prohibited from entering and exiting. A trade area has also been opened on the island, which can provide transactions for many pirate forces.

place.

Of course, he did not do this kind of thing for nothing, but for profit, and he had to pay taxes for all transactions on his island.

You pay an island entry tax when you go to the island, and a transaction tax when you make transactions.

Although you have to pay taxes, trading on the island is very safe. In the territory of the one-eyed tiger Du Sanbiao, fighting is prohibited. Anyone who does anything here will be punished by the one-eyed tiger Du Sanbiao's men, so it is still very safe here.

Qian Daqing stood on the ship, pointed to the island in front of him and said: Chief, look, ahead is Tiger Island.

This island was originally called Turtle Island, named after its resemblance to a turtle. It was later occupied by the one-eyed tiger. The one-eyed tiger disliked the unpleasant name of Turtle Island and called it Tiger Island.

This place is also called the Tiger Pirate Group. The Tiger Pirate Group has more than 200 large and small warships and more than 30,000 soldiers. It is definitely the leading pirate overlord in this area.

Hearing this, Wang Xiaoming asked in confusion: Since he is the pirate overlord, how come he still allows us to exist? He has never thought about unifying the pirates.

Qian Daqing chuckled and said: One-eyed Tiger naturally wants to unify the pirates, but he just wants to, but he doesn't have the ability.

In this area of ​​​​the sea, the Tiger Pirates are second to none. No pirate can compete with them independently. However, the other pirates are not stupid and have formed an alliance secretly. The leader among them is the Crazy Shark Pirates. Although the Crazy Shark Pirates are not as good as

The Tiger Pirates also have more than a hundred warships and more than 20,000 soldiers. Together with the cooperation of other pirates, they can still fight against the Tiger Pirates.

In fact, they didn't dare to fight at all, for fear that they would both lose in the fight and gain the advantage of outsiders. There were many pirates outside this sea area, and the court was also watching here. If the pirates fought too hard,

Cruel, the loss of strength is too great, it will be an advantage to the court.

That’s it. Wang Xiaoming nodded slightly, gaining another layer of understanding about the complicated relationship between pirates.

Tiger Island is very lively, with so many boats coming in and out. Wang Xiaoming and others had to wait in line when entering the boat.

When Wang Xiaoming saw this scene, he shook his head slightly.

To be honest, the scale here is still too small, and the dock is too small, so it seems to be extremely busy. If the dock is larger and the site is wider, it will be more beneficial to the development of trade.

After waiting for half an hour, it was finally the turn of Wang Xiaoming's ship. Then members of the Tiger Pirates boarded the ship for inspection. They did not inspect it very carefully. They just wanted to see if there was anything abnormal. If not, they would let it go.

.

Of course, when you are released, you will naturally need to pay a tax for entering the city.

The fees to be paid also depend on the condition of the vessel. The larger the vessel, the more the fees will be paid. The smaller the vessel, the less the fees will be.

The boat stopped at the dock, and Wang Xiaoming and others got off the boat.

There is also a fee for the boat to park here. The fee is based on the number of days. If you stay for one more day, you will be charged one more day.

Wang Xiaoming also admires the Tiger Pirates' management methods. Their ability to collect money is also too strong.

But in this way, it hinders the progress of trade.

Wang Xiaoming shook his head gently. If it were him, he would never operate like this.

Tiger Island is actually divided into three parts. The first part is the dock, the second part is the residential area of ​​the island, and the third part is where the Tiger pirate headquarters is located. The One-Eyed Tiger family also lives in the headquarters.

Only the pier of Tiger Island is open to the public, and the other two parts are not allowed to outsiders.
