Wang Desheng snorted and did not refute. He knew that what Liu Dahai said was right. Although there were many gun emplacements on the ships of the Quanzhou Naval Division, due to the congenital defects of the Chinese-style sea ships, there were many fewer gun emplacements compared with the new warships. In terms of firepower, it is a congenital weakness. So the result that Liu Dahai said was predictable by Wang Desheng.

However, Wang Desheng did not refute it, and said directly: "Is there anything else?" Go on. ”

Liu Dahai continued: "Another difference is that the heel is different. Those pirates at sea ultimately rely on land. So it's not hard to find their heels. As long as Lord Wang is willing to peel back the cocoon and look for it, he can always find the pirate's lair. When the time comes, the adults will attack the top of Mount Tai, and they will naturally be invincible! And my dragon king is different. My dragon king has a big island overseas, and the specific location is unknown to others. Therefore, there is nowhere to use the strength of adults! What's more, purely in terms of combat power, Lord Wang can't fight my dragon king! ”

Wang Desheng knew that Liu Dahai was right again. Among the many pirates at sea, whether large or small, there are people behind them. This is one of the reasons why pirates are so difficult to exterminate. For example, during the Jiajing period, when the Japanese invaders were everywhere, those Japanese were not defeated by the Ming sailors, but because there were countless locals and those gentry who provided them with news, and even provided food and grass supplies. That's why those pirates disturbed the sea.

Those pirates have heels, but Liu Pei's roots can't be found. In this case, if you want to start a war with Liu Pei and win the battle, it is undoubtedly a fateful tree.

Wang Desheng squinted at Liu Dahai and said: "If I capture you, maybe I will torture and find out where his lair is, don't you say?" ”

Liu Dahai smiled and said, "Do you think the Dragon King will give you this loophole?" I'll tell you the truth, I've never been to that big island until now, I just know it's in the open sea. ”

Liu Dahai saw Wang Desheng's expression move slightly, and knew that he had talked about his sore spots. And then he said: "And the most important point. It's just that my family has their own shipyard on a big island in the open sea, and they can produce a steady stream of warships. And the warship in the hands of Lord Wang is afraid that one will be sunk or one less, right? When the time comes, there will be no warships, Lord Wang

Can the general still go to jail? ”

Wang Desheng slapped the table and said: "Nonsense, I want to be a million miles of fertile land in the Ming Dynasty, and I have a million heroes!" It's still easy to add a few warships to me! Where is it so unbearable as you say? ”

Liu Dahai smiled: "Lord Wang, you are deceiving yourself!" Not to mention how much military spending the imperial court can allocate every year, the silver that was pulled out has been divided layer by layer, and I am afraid that in the hands of Lord Wang, it may not even be enough to repair ships, let alone build new ships! ”

Wang Desheng was silent after listening. His family knows his own affairs, and the imperial court itself has not had enough income over the years, and the military expenditure allocated is pitiful. Coupled with layers of peeling, there is really not much left in his hands! Moreover, since the rise of the Jurchens in Jianzhou, the imperial court has put all its energy and financial resources outside the Guan, and the land south of the Yangtze River cannot be taken care of at all.

Besides, just like Liu Dahai said, if he really spelled out the sailors in his hands, those civil officials would not say anything good about themselves. I can't say that I can't take the credit, and he will carry the black pot! At that time, I really can't keep my position as a general!

It's not just a matter of losing a position as a general! Once I lose my official position, I am afraid that I will not be able to keep the money I have accumulated over the years! I can't say that I will even affect the family, and the whole family will be greatly injured at that time!

Thinking of this, Wang Desheng said slowly: "Then I don't know if Mr. Liu has anything to advise." ”

Liu Dahai heard Wang Desheng call him "Mr. Liu" before he was completely relieved. At that moment, he waved his sleeves and said, "I came here far away, Lord Wang, are you stingy with even a cup of tea?" ”

Wang Desheng's face changed, but he held back his anger and asked Liu Dahai to sit down and ordered someone to serve tea. Liu Dahai was really thirsty after talking for a long time, and after the tea came up, he drank two sips before saying: "There is indeed a way to solve this problem, and you can also call the adults to add officials to the knighthood!" I just don't know if Lord Wang is willing to listen? ”

Wang Desheng squinted his eyes and said, "If what Mr. Liu said makes sense, the official will naturally listen!" But if it's not right, I'm afraid you really won't be able to get out alive! ”

Liu Dahai said proudly: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, my method is definitely good for everyone!" ”

After speaking, Liu Dahai took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Wang Desheng and said, "There are seven pirate names on it. If the king wishes, we can provide detailed charts and can send someone to guide the way. As long as Lord Wang defeats these seven families, he will have his own head to deal with! If you want to come to the local government, you won't look for the bad luck of adults here. After all, they still have a part of the credit for strategizing and managing the salary. ”

Wang Desheng understood as soon as he heard it! Said: "Okay! It turns out that you are fighting the idea of borrowing a knife to kill people! It's a good calculation! ”

Liu Dahai said calmly: "That's right! That's the idea that my dragon king played! But I think Lord Wang will definitely choose to do this! Because it's good for everyone. My dragon king cut off some of the disobedient people; Lord Wang has won military merits, and he can also prevaricate his boss! And my dragon king said that the matter became another 5,000 taels of silver! My dragon king also wants to make friends with Lord Wang. ”

Wang Desheng was silent with the list of these seven people. But the few officers standing next to him were indeed excited and their faces were red! One by one, their eyes flickered, and they were tempted! Anyone can settle the account! If you start a war with the Red-Eyed Dragon King, you must have the intention of dying on the battlefield. And attacking these scattered pirates, there are still people leading the way, it can be said that it is nine times out of ten!

Liu Dahai ignored everyone's reactions, and was even more sure that this time would be successful. So I simply ignored them and drank tea slowly.

After a while, Wang Desheng said slowly: "Mr. Liu, I have a few brothers to discuss it, and I will give you an answer later." I arrange for you to rest in your room. ”

Liu Dahai didn't answer, got up and saluted a few people and left with the housekeeper. As soon as Liu Dahai walked out of the room, the bearded officer said loudly: "My lord, I think this thing is reliable, I can do it!" ”

Wang Desheng didn't reply, shook the list in his hand and said, "You all have a look." ”

The list went around in the hands of several people, and then passed back to Wang Desheng. An officer said, "This red-eyed dragon king doesn't seem to have any good intentions!" Among these seven pirates, three of them are relatively powerful and difficult to fight! Even if we are defeated, our casualties are not small!
