0599 Betrayal
Liu Pei waved his hand and said, "I don't want to listen to these words, I just see what you do in the end!" I'm just going to tell you one thing, either you kill me or you do what I do!" So that's the end of the matter. Now I want to know, where is Liu Xiang? How many people does he have? What does he want to do next? ”
The maritime business is no better than others, and now it is Liu Pei's economic lifeline! This is not only related to the richness of his money bag, but also related to Liu Pei's prestige. Liu Pei had just ascended to the position of the pirate king at this time, and the order he issued was challenged, which was very unfavorable to him!
If Liu Xiang can't be extinguished quickly, Liu Pei's reputation will be severely hit. The situation will be very dangerous. All those who oppose Liu Pei will move. When the time comes, the sea will be full of smoke! Therefore, Liu Pei had to adjust the plan and take the annihilation of the meeting and the fragrance as the highest priority.
At present, the First Fleet, except for the ships on duty, has gathered in Taiwan. And all the members of the Second Fleet are also repairing in Taiwan, waiting for the full attack as soon as there is news of Liu Xiang.
These people here are all people with clear eyebrows and decisive eyes, and it is still worth it to exchange Liu Xiang for their own safety. After all, Liu Xiang is just a pirate. What's more, whether Liu Pei can defeat Liu Xiang is also between the two.
They didn't expect Liu Xiang to defeat the Red-Eyed Dragon King. As long as they can stalemate with him, these people can continue to increase their efforts to fund Liu Xiang. When the time comes, I can't say, you red-eyed dragon king will spit out my silver again!
What's more, now Liu Xiang is not just Liu Xiang's own team. The fish that slipped through the net under Zheng Zhilong's command also gathered there. There were even a large number of people who were unwilling to obey Liu Pei's orders and fled to the south and mingled with Liu Xiang. The current Liu Xiang can also be regarded as a strong soldier.
So these people betrayed Liu Xiang without hesitation at all. They hoped that Liu Pei and Liu Xiang would fight as soon as possible, so as to weaken the strength of both sides at the same time. That's the best way for them. This method of balancing and leveraging strength has been played with by these readers for thousands of years and is very familiar with it.
Then these people recounted what they knew one after another. Liu Pei now knows that Liu Xiang is no longer the Liu Xiang of half a year ago.
Now Liu Xiang's men have dozens of boats, close to the scale of 2,000 people!
With the narration of these people, Liu Pei keenly found that Liu Xiang was not able to unify these people now. It was not so much that they were Liu Xiang's subordinates, but rather a relatively loose alliance against the Red-Eyed Dragon King. However, Liu Pei guessed that as long as Liu Xiang was not stupid, he must have already started to tidy up the interior.
After everyone finished talking about the news, they also said that they could send someone to find out the news after they went back. If there is available news, someone will be sent to Liu Pei.
Liu Pei had something in his heart, so he didn't bother to pay attention to these people after the beating, and directly sent someone to the ship to remove the silver and sent them back. As for the news they said, Liu Pei didn't fully believe it. The news that came out of their mouths, Liu Pei had to listen to it with a discount.
Liu Pei sent these people away and returned to the main hall again. Wu Yizhou, Liu Jiang and others in the back hall have already walked out. These people were all arranged by Liu Pei to listen to these maritime merchants in the back, so as to analyze whether there were any mistakes and traps.
After the staff officers discussed it babblingly, they formed an opinion. First of all, Liu Xiang's subordinates have a large number, but they have not yet been unified, and their combat effectiveness is limited. Second, Liu Xiang is not short of supplies. Third, it is impossible to determine the specific location of Liu Xiang's hiding. This requires greater efforts from the Intelligence Agency. But what is certain is that Liu Xiang's nest is not far from the mainland. It is very likely to be in the area of Guangdong.
Liu Pei turned around and stared at the wall. There has been a huge map nailed by the staff officers. They were all looking at the map and discussing. Liu Pei stared at the map and was silent.
After a long time, everyone quieted down and waited for Liu Pei's decision. After the silence in the room lasted for a long time, Liu Pei suddenly looked up and said to Jack, "Jack, do you have a good impression of those Dutch people?" ”
Jack was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Those damn coachmen almost monopolize the business at sea, how can I possibly have a crush on them?" ”
No wonder Jack is angry. The Dutch were now in their prime, and not long ago, the famous Dutch general, General Wright, had defeated the British fleet and commanded the fleet to storm the Thames at high tide and bombard London. Tear the British to shreds!
So how could Jack, an Englishman, have a crush on the Dutch?
Everyone here is a smart person, and when they heard Liu Pei ask, everyone began to think. They would never think that Liu Pei was making fun of Jack's background at this time. And Liu Jiang was the first to react because he was in contact with more information. He exclaimed, "Dutch! Taiwan! Could it be that Liu Xiang is in southern Taiwan? ”
Liu Jiang's words caused a sensation among the staff officers below. They all discussed the possibility of this possibility. Liu Pei shook his head and said, "I don't know if Liu Xiang is in southern Taiwan. But he must have colluded with the Dutch! ”
Liu Pei said this for a reason. In history, Liu Xiang took refuge in the Dutch. And it is impossible to take refuge in a day, before that, Liu Xiang must have been connected with the Dutch. And now Zheng Zhilong died earlier than in history, so it is not impossible for Liu Xiang to defect to the Dutch in advance.
Liu Pei continued: "Those bastards have provided Liu Xiang with information that they are sending ships out to sea to rob ships. It's certainly not far from where they are staying. ”
Wu Yizhou nodded and said, "It's possible." After all, Fujian is the place where they have been operating for many years, and they are familiar with each other, if they are scattered and hiding, we will not be able to find it at all! ”
Liu Jiang continued: "And our ships have never approached southern Taiwan, nor have they ever approached the coast of Fujian. ”
Liu Pei stared at Wu Yizhou and asked, "Recently, you have been patrolling around Penghu, how have those Dutch people behaved?" ”
Wu Yizhou recalled: "I have read many reports that those Dutch people have been very quiet. Because we didn't take their money, the two parties are now at peace. But according to the report below, it seems that they Taiwan has added 4 warships. ”
Liu Pei sneered and said, "That's right!" Liu Xiang took refuge with the Dutch! ”
Wu Yizhou said: "Doesn't that mean that if we want to exterminate Liu Xiang, we will have to go to war with the Dutch? ”
Liu Pei rubbed his swollen temples and said, "This is something that can't be helped." I wanted to get in touch with the Dutch people. Now it looks like we're going to have to fight first! ”
