A group of pirate leaders had a happy time, and finally Putmans spoke to Liu Xiang again: "According to the agreement between us, your fleet's supply is under your responsibility, right?"

"Of course there is no problem!" Liu Xiang waved his hand and said heroically, "I am destroying the leader of the Zheng League, and I am on my territory again, so I am naturally responsible."

When Lee Kwok-jo and other pirate leaders heard this, they were all overjoyed. When they talked about the destruction of Zheng, they just talked about the matter of sharing the spoils after success. They had never thought about this before, so they came with their men and shipped over.

Now that Liu Xiang takes the initiative to take charge of logistics, they all praise Liu Xiang for being righteous. In the Gathering Hall, the guests and hosts are happy. Liu Xiang's prestige among pirates seems to have increased a lot.

After all, this time it can be said to be a conference. Not only are the more powerful pirates coming, but even the red barbarians coming. The number of people and the amount of logistics supply is definitely an astronomical figure. If it weren't for the courageous, capable, and pleasant enough like Liu Dajia, it would be impossible for him to take the initiative to accept it.

However, they didn't know that Liu Xiang knew that Zheng Yiguan had completed the assembly of the warships. If it weren't for the warships, it would definitely not have been like this. After all, Zheng Yiguan's navy was basically responsible for the entire southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty. If the warships were transferred for too long, there would definitely be problems with the local coastal defense.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Xiang took over everyone's logistics and established his post-war prestige for him, making his status unchallenged!

While he was making the best plans, Zheng Zhilong, the Fujian Navy Office, once again convened a full military meeting and formally issued a combat goal to eliminate Liu Xiang's pirates to his brothers and subordinates.

He solemnly emphasized: "This battle is related to whether the southeast coast can be stable and whether the people can live and work in peace and contentment! Lord Zhongcheng has high hopes for this battle; even the emperor is concerned. No matter who makes contributions, he can reach the heavens' listening!"

While saying these official words, Zheng Zhilong realized that the people below did not burst out with enough fighting spirit. He also understood that these words seemed to be less attractive to these pirate men.

So, he changed his tone and continued, "You should all know that the imperial edict issued by the court before, 10% of the tax collected by Kaihai will be used for the navy. You may not know how much tax the emperor is looking forward to in the year?"

His words immediately attracted the attention of the people below. They saw Zheng Zhilong stretching out a finger, and Zheng Zhihu couldn't help but confirm, "One million?"

"Wrong!" Zheng Zhilong denied it flatly, and then his voice raised a little, "It's ten million! In other words, an additional one million will be spent on our navy every year. I can guarantee you that as long as you do your best, there will definitely be many navy masters in our Ming Dynasty in the future. At that time, you old people will be responsible for a navy, glorious and glorious ancestors!"

The people in the hall had not realized how much money they could receive in the original history. Even if they thought there would be a lot, there was no specific concept. One of them seemed to understand it better, so he asked in a little puzzled manner: "When the sea was opened, it seemed that it only cost 20,000 taels a year. The emperor was actually looking forward to 10 million taels, this... this..."

After a few times, I originally wanted to say that the emperor was crazy about money, but in the end I didn't dare to say it out.

But what he didn't say was obvious. Zheng Zhilong replied with a smile: "Now, Lord Zhongcheng must follow the "Da Ming Law", and there must be laws and enforce the law strictly. According to this estimate, in the past six months, he has collected a lot of taxes, and the amount must be much more than 20,000 taels. In this ability to collect taxes, only Lord Zhongcheng in the Ming Dynasty has the ability. You must believe Lord Zhongcheng!"

Speaking of this, he stopped and said: "If we could sweep the sea and destroy pirates, there would be more people going out to sea to do business, and the court would also collect more taxes. According to the collection method of Lord Zhongcheng, I estimated that the number of expectations the emperor would be completely possible!"

When he said this, he really admired Sun Chuanting. Even if he was not convinced by Sun Chuanting, a northerner, since Sun Chuanting killed a juren, no matter what his identity was in his past, he would strictly collect taxes as long as it exceeded the provisions of the Ming Dynasty's laws. Such a move really made him admire!

After Zheng Zhilong's explanation, the people in the hall were excited. According to what the imperial edict said, it would be one million taels of year! Immediately, they believed in the prospects depicted by Zheng Zhilong, and their morale was suddenly aroused.

Only Zhong Bin’s idea was a bit different, or because his butt had been sitting in a crooked position, after hearing Zheng Zhilong’s words, he thought that the tens of millions of taels of silver should have been the ones who had mastered the force of the sea, but now they have been taken away by the government and given only 10% of it, which is a huge loss!

Therefore, he looked at the people around him who were happy. Although he was also happy on the surface, he sneered in his heart: I will earn more if I destroy you!

Zheng Zhilong, who was in the main position, saw that his morale had been boosted, looked serious and immediately ordered: "Tomorrow morning, the army will set out to fight. No one should delay or be late. Anyone who does not follow the military law will be severely punished and will not lend money!"

After saying that, the meeting ended. Liu Jinsheng followed Zheng Zhilong to the Houya, but kept sneering.

Zheng Zhilong had a good temper and asked with a smile: "Do you have any objections to our general's order?"

"Nonsense!" Liu Jinsheng sneered, "Don't think you can only buy the informant. As soon as the order just now came out, no one was allowed to leave the ship. If you accidentally leak the news, you will cry to death!"

If it were the past, he might not have thought of this matter immediately. It was just because he was cheated by Zheng Zhilong when he was under Li Kuiqi and almost couldn't turn over, so he gained a memory.

When Zheng Zhilong heard what he said, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that he has made progress. But you are still a little tender!"

"I'm young?" Liu Jinsheng couldn't help but get angry when he heard this and asked loudly. He felt that he was despised by Zheng Zhilong, which was one of the things he hated the most.

The contrast with him was a bit too big, but Zheng Zhilong said with a smile: "Of course I know this, so I gave this opportunity to see who will go ashore and who will inform you. In this way, the unstable factors can be eliminated. On this sea, those who want to seek their own generals are probably not yet born!"
