Chapter 948: Recruiting Pirates

In a few words, the details of the King of Luzon were clarified, and Mao Wenlong had completely lost interest in talking. After dealing with it casually, Mao Wenlong sent the king of Luzon away under the pretext of resting.

The state of Luzon is now in turmoil, and more than 100 officials of the current dynasty were assassinated and killed overnight. The people were already panicking, and the loyal subordinates of the king of Luzon were trying their best to rehabilitate them, but unfortunately they did not have a rest for three or two months to calm down.

Although the king of Luzon was very anxious, he intended to ask Mao Wenlong to dispatch the Dongjiang Army again to help rehabilitate him. But Mao Wenlong deliberately ignored it, obviously unintentionally meddling in the affairs of Luzon.

This made the King of Luzon very helpless, the Ming Dynasty was originally the last dynasty, and the Luzon Kingdom was mostly subordinate to the Ming Dynasty since ancient times. It was only because the Ming Dynasty imposed a sea ban that it did not take care of it anymore.

The Tiger Pirate Regiment, which had been entrenched in the South China Sea for many years, took advantage of the situation and completely controlled the lifeblood of Luzon. Now the king of Luzon finally looked forward to the warships of the Ming Dynasty, but he could not get satisfactory help, and he was very sorry.

After the departure of the king of Luzon, the generals of the Dongjiang Army were very puzzled by Mao Wenlong's approach. The king of Luzon clearly had the intention to return to the Ming Dynasty, but Mao Wenlong's approach was to refuse people from the door and not be moved at all.

Chen Qiyu was the first to stand up and raise his confusion to Mao Wenlong: "General soldier, now is the best time for us to control Luzon. As long as we send troops to Luzon to help them rehabilitate, we can take the opportunity to insert our people in, killing two birds with one stone, why should the general army refuse the kindness of the king of Luzon? ”

A cold light flashed in Mao Wenlong's eyes, and he snorted coldly: "What can you do if you control it?" Only when we are truly strong is the last word. You don't have to take care of these small countries at all, as long as our Dongjiang Army and Navy Division are invincible at sea, they will all have to obediently serve us as the upper court. ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, and all the generals suddenly woke up. There will always be times when the so-called defection will be rebellious, and only if the Dongjiang Army continues to be strong for a long time, these so-called subject countries will always serve the Ming Dynasty as the upper country. Otherwise, it will be the opposite, once the Ming Dynasty is weakened, these subject countries will fall into the ground.

This reason is very simple, none of the generals present did not understand, and they immediately surrendered to Mao Wenlong. In the final analysis, one's own strength is the last word, and only by making everyone look up to them can they give in from the heart.

Early the next morning, Mao Wenlong was woken up in his sleep, and with a dissatisfied tone, he asked Haoxiao what happened outside?

Haoxiao responded with a cheap smile on his face: "Chief soldier, I just got a report, saying that Nangong Xianming's pirate army suddenly rebelled yesterday." Nangong Xianming only two escaped, and the rest were killed by those pirate leaders. Now a messenger from the pirates has come outside, saying that he wants to defect to us. ”

Mao Wenlong turned over and got up, this news was indeed beyond his expectations. He hesitated for a moment, then instructed Haoxiao, "Take the pirate messenger to the deck, and then go and see what happened." ”

"Yes, the chief soldier, the subordinates will arrange it." Hao Xiao bowed his hand and took his leave.

Mao Wenlong also washed and dressed, ate something casually, and walked to the deck at the bow of the ship. By the time he arrived, Hao Xiao was already waiting with the pirate messenger.

The pirate messenger is a middle-aged man in his forties, and the perennial wind and rain have made his already anxious appearance even older. He looks like a sixty-year-old old man, the leader of a pirate group that is among the most powerful pirate forces.

Cang Dawu, the name is very rustic, but the person looks shrewd. He came to discuss the defection to the Dongjiang Army, and all the pirate leaders were based on his ability to speak well.

"The villain Cang Dawu meets the chief soldier." Cang Dawu, who had been thoughtful for several weeks, immediately knelt and bowed when they met.

Maintaining his usual habit of reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Mao Wenlong still politely asked Cang Dawu to reply: "I heard that you turned against Nangong Xianming and drove him away, why is this, can you tell the general soldier the reason?" ”

The pirates rebelled against Nangong Xianming, this matter will definitely not be simple, and Mao Wenlong is even more confused in his heart. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the inside story before you can make the most appropriate decision.

Cang Dawu obviously didn't expect that Mao Wenlong would ask about it as soon as he opened his mouth. After a short period of stunned, he suddenly came back to his senses: "Nangong Xianming has always been quite selfish, and more than a dozen of our pirate groups, forced by the deterrence of the Tiger Pirate Group behind him, have to obey Nangong Xianming's orders. ”

"But Nangong Xianming has ill intentions, and he actually took the opportunity to directly annex us. First there is the leader of Fang Xiaohai, and then there is the big bear as an example. This makes us all understand a truth, we can't tolerate Nangong Xianming anymore, otherwise there is only one way to perish waiting for us. ”

Cang Dawu was still angry at the moment, gritting his teeth, clenching his hands into fists, and seemed to be very uncalm in his heart.

Mao Wenlong nodded, seemingly believing Cang Dawu's explanation. Nangong Xianming's greed led to his fate today, and there was nothing surprising about it.

"Then you are going to come to the general army now, which means that I hope that the general soldier will protect you well and prevent Nangong Xianming from coming to retaliate with the Tiger Pirate Regiment, right?" After Mao Wenlong thought deeply, he opened his mouth and said bluntly.

Cang Dawu was also a bachelor, without the slightest excuse, nodded and admitted: "What the general soldier said is true, we did come with such a thought. After all, in the entire South China Sea today, only the Dongjiang Army and Naval Division can match the Tiger Pirate Regiment. ”

"Wrong, wrong, not a match. It's the Tiger Pirates, and it's not a cause for concern! Mao Wenlong said unceremoniously.

"Commander, don't underestimate the Tiger Pirates. After all, they have inherited nearly a hundred years of power here in the South China Sea. The previous Japanese and Yi people did not dare to provoke them easily, otherwise the consequences would be very serious. When Cang Dahai saw Mao Wenlong so light on the enemy, he couldn't help but remind him.

"Hmph, what a mere pirate can't worry about! Let's not talk about this for the time being, but first talk about how you will serve under the command of this commander-in-chief. Or what do you want? Mao Wenlong's expression became serious.

"We don't dare to ask the general army for anything, we just hope that after we join the Dongjiang Army. The general army was able to send troops to rescue us when Nangong Xianming took revenge on us. Cang Dawu was very refreshing and shook out of his bottom line.

Mao Wenlong chuckled: "Other than that, don't you have anything else to ask for?" ”

Cang Dawu shook his head and said, "There is no general soldier." ”

"Okay, that's easy. We've decided to do that and we'll start the process early tomorrow morning. You go back and get ready, and tell the others not to delay business. After Mao Wenlong finished talking about the matter, he immediately issued an eviction order.
