0572 A battle for the benefit of all parties
The officer beside him said, "But we don't have a choice now!" At present, this is the only way to solve the urgent needs of adults. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the military department to explain! ”
Several officers expressed their opinions in turn. Basically, they all agreed to follow Liu Pei's method. But a slightly older officer made a new proposal. He said, "Since the Red-eyed Dragon King wants to borrow our sword and kill his enemy, can't he send us away for 5,000 taels of silver?" You must know that if we go to sea, where is there enough for a few thousand taels of silver? ”
The bearded officer said, "Yes." After this battle, a lot of money will be spent on food equipment alone! If a person dies, he will not be less to burn and bury silver! But those civil officials are so deductible that there are only three or four floors left in our hands! Where is worthy of the brothers who work hard! ”
After the two men finished speaking, the room fell silent. Several officers knew that they only needed to express their opinions, and it was definitely Wang Desheng who made the final decision. After half a cup of tea, Wang Desheng said slowly: "Call the housekeeper to have a banquet, and let's talk to the person surnamed Liu again." Let's see if we can squeeze something out of the Red Eyed Dragon King's hand! And this list also has to be discussed, we won't touch those big pirates! ”
A white-faced and bearded young general suddenly opened his mouth and said, "My lord, if we bribe those who lead the way with a lot of money, do you think we can find the lair of the Red-eyed Dragon King?" If we find it, let's fight to the death, and then it will be developed! ”
Several officers also listened with their eyes shining. Everyone knows that there is a shipyard on my wife's island, so it must be a small island. If you can really take it, send a group of brothers to do business at sea, and a group of people take care of it in the sailors, then it will be useless!
Wang Desheng waved his hand and said, "Pure blind thought! So how can the red-eyed dragon king get to this point, where is it so stupid? And I don't think the people he sent know about it. ”
Several people discussed for a long time, and Liu Dahai, who was resting in the guest room, was invited back to the main hall. A banquet had already been set up in the main hall, and Wang Desheng and several officers were there.
Wang Desheng raised his hand and pointed to the empty space beside him, and said, "Mr. Liu, please take a seat." ”
Liu Dahai arched his hand to several people and sat down generously. several
People began to stagger. And a few people here are very happy, and the decadence of the previous few days has been swept away.
During the banquet, Wang Desheng and the officers took turns to ask Liu Dahai about various news. Liu Dahai, who had been prepared for a long time, naturally answered without leaking. This also made Wang Desheng extinguish his mind about dealing with the Red-eyed Dragon King.
Everyone was almost eating and drinking, Wang Desheng shook off the list and said, "You dragon kings have good plans." But there are a few hard bones, please forgive this official for not being able to do anything! ”
Liu Dahai was not in a hurry when he heard Wang Desheng say this. He picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth to savor it. Waiting for Wang Desheng to be a little impatient, he said: "Lord Wang, you don't want to fight those big pirates, but you can fight small shares!" I have a list here that you can pick and choose slowly. ”
Wang Desheng is so angry in his heart! It turns out that your kid has been prepared for a long time, and he is here to block me! So Wang Desheng simply slapped the list on the table and said: "Ming people don't say dark words!" Since your dragon king plans to borrow a knife to kill people, he can't borrow this knife for nothing. 5,000 taels of silver is definitely not enough! ”
Liu Dahai rolled his eyes and said, "Then Lord Wang, how much do you want?" ”
Wang Desheng stretched out three fingers and said, "One price!" Thirty thousand taels of silver! ”
Liu Dahai directly reached out and pressed Wang Desheng's hand down, and said, "Lord Wang, you are thinking too much, right?" Those pirates are worth 30,000 taels of silver? ”
At this time, several other officers came up with wine bowls to help. After some bargaining, the final price was set at 10,000 taels of silver, and Liu Pei gave all the buried silver.
When the agreement was reached, Wang Desheng and the others consciously took advantage, so they naturally smiled. They felt that Liu Pei was burying the silver according to their level. How did he know that Liu Pei planned to give silver according to his own standards.
Liu Pei wanted to establish his generous and bold image on those grassroots sailors, and prepare for poaching people in the future. Now Liu Pei has captured so many ships, and there are still many ships that are idle and no one uses them. That's why Liu Peicai set his eyes on the soldiers of Quanzhou Sailors.
The rest is simple. After the two sides discussed the details of the battle, Liu Dahai left with a sense of wine.
From the second day, the Quanzhou sailors have been dragging their feet these days
Pull's preparations suddenly sped up! Moreover, officers at all levels have come out to stabilize the morale of the army, and they have hinted that nothing will happen to the sea this time. The soldiers felt that the general might not have a head-on conflict with the Red-Eyed Dragon King, so they reassured.
Ten days later, all the Quanzhou sailors set out, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, they sailed violently to the sea. After the fleet joined up with a ship near the Ryukyu Islands, the Quanzhou Navy Division split in two and disappeared into the sea.
In a short period of time, the Quanzhou sailors broke through the base camp of the six pirates. Killed, captured quite a few pirates. The pirate fleets that were in a hurry to return to the island to save people were also defeated or captured under the siege of the Quanzhou sailors! In short, these six pirates are completely removed from the sea!
While these six pirates were unlucky, some of the maritime merchants who ventured to the sea were unlucky! They were directly killed by the Quanzhou sailors! This Quanzhou sailor can be regarded as making a windfall!
When the Quanzhou sailors returned to the camp, they were warmly welcomed by the people of Quanzhou! Because this time the Quanzhou sailor brought back a large number of heads and prisoners! Of course, there is nothing at all.
After the governor got the news, he urgently summoned Wang Desheng, and then discussed with a group of officials overnight. At dawn, a merit report document was sent directly to the capital by Kuaima!
In the document, he reported to the imperial court that he had completely defeated the team of the Red Eyed Dragon King! Kill thieves. More than 5,000! More than 40 people were captured. More than 30 warships were burned and sunk. Destroy six pirate lairs! And what is rare is that this is not purely presumptuous with the document, and the things on it are all compared with the real thing. Of course, according to the usual practice, but this military newspaper must be mixed with water. Basically, a half-fold and a half-fold is the real record. Among them, the resurrected people were all sold to Liu Pei!
However, this does not affect the local carnival in Quanzhou! The government expressed optimism about this operation, believing that Wang Desheng had relieved everyone of the great troubles at sea, and the maritime merchants felt that a good era of free trade had arrived!
After the two-day celebration time had passed, a group of people escorted a car to appear outside the camp of the Quanzhou Sailors. Wang Desheng's personal soldiers met with them and handed them a list. But to the surprise of the soldiers, the person led by the other party actually took out a list from his arms and compared it.
