Mutual aid agreement for going to sea!

That's right, all the maritime merchants of the Tang Dynasty who went to sea signed overseas mutual assistance agreements with each other under the leadership of the Dengzhou Governor's Office.

In the mutual assistance agreement on going to sea, one of the most important points is that whenever the merchant ships of the Tang Dynasty encounter pirates at sea, the other Tang merchant ships have the responsibility and obligation to help each other resist the pirates.

And the most important point is that if any pirate dares to really plunder the merchant ships of Datang, then prepare to wait for endless revenge from Dengzhou and Datang!

"This ......" a dead look appeared on Pryde's face, but then he said, "Your Excellency, ......"

"What sir?" Su Dingfa glared at Pride fiercely, and said, "This is the prince of my family, the governor of Dengzhou, and His Royal Highness the Martial King of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Wu, Martial King?"

Pride was so frightened that he was about to pee, and he couldn't even imagine that he had just robbed a Datang merchant ship, and he had provoked such a big man.

If he knew this, even if he lent him a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to rob those two merchant ships from Datang!

And the most annoying thing about him was that the two merchant ships were made of wood, which was far less attractive to them as pirates than the gold and silver treasures they were going to come from.

In general, it was their looting this time that they lost, not only did they not get much gold and silver, but they were even almost taken to the nest!

Damn it, it's a loss!

"What, doesn't this king look like a prince?" Li Yuanba smiled faintly and said, "That's right, this king is dressed more like an idle person, where does he look like a prince?" ”

Shaking his head a little self-deprecatingly, Li Yuanba shook his head and continued: "Okay, it's useless to say so much. Let's get down to business! Tell me, what are the conditions for your visit this time? Don't say anything to this king and don't let people go, you don't have that capital yet! ”

Li Yuanba's strength completely disrupted the previous pirates' plans, Pride didn't expect this situation, this thought was fleeting, and he could only say: "Lord Wang, things have developed to this point, and we are no longer qualified to negotiate, you say." Do what you say! ”

"Refreshing!" Li Yuanba clapped his hands and said: "In this way, if you hand over all the two fleets that you have robbed to this king, and lead all the pirates under your command to surrender to our Datang, this king will personally call the shots and issue you a 'Datang privateer certificate', allowing you to privateer the sea ships of other countries and become the privateer fleet of my Datang!" ”

"Is this true?"

Pryde's eyes lit up, and he was able to take risks from one completely on his own. It can even be said that the pirate organization that will be destroyed at any time has become Datang's privateer fleet, with Datang behind it, even if it touches the bottom line of other countries? What can they do with them?

What a joy from the sky!

"This king counts when he speaks!" Li Yuanba spit out words like nails. "But say it in advance, we will provide you with ships, but you can only figure out the weapons yourself!"

"Lord Wang, can such a warship be given to us?" The first thought that popped into Pryde's mind was to get the ship under his feet.

Li Yuanba looked at Pride with a smile. "Do you think it's possible?" ”

The expression on Pryde's face stiffened suddenly, and he said, "The little one understands, it's the little one who thinks too much!" ”

Li Yuanba shook his head. Said: "The specific terms will be discussed later, you can bring the people of those two fleets to this king now!" ”

"Two fleets?" Pride thought of this problem just now, he obviously only captured one Tang fleet, how could it become two in the mouth of the Martial King.

"What? Is there something wrong? Li Yuanba saw the hesitation on Pride's face, and couldn't help but ask a little strangely.

"Lord Wang, we only captured one Datang caravan?" Pride said.

"Why not two?" At this time, Su Dingfang interjected: "Could it be that you also captured a caravan from the Ryukyus?" ”

Pride said with some hesitation: "When we were catching that Tang fleet before, we did catch a Ryukyu fleet by the way, could it be that the prince is here for that Ryukyu caravan?" ”

"That's right!" Li Yuanba nodded and said, "It's just that what we didn't expect was that you actually captured a merchant ship from Datang, which is not in vain!" ”

"I see!" There was a bitter look on Pryde's face, "It seems that we were planted in the hands of those Guangyang City soldiers this time!" ”

Li Yuanba laughed out loud and said, "Hahaha, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky!" ”

……

Twin Islands, in the vast hall of Haizhai, a total of three teams of people gathered.

This first team of people is naturally led by Li Yuanba, and the soldiers from Datang and Guangyang City; The second team is the hapless pirates; As for the rest of the third team, it was Guo Songling, who was captured by the pirates, and belonged to the aging fleet.

"Grass people Guo Songling, thank you for saving your life!"

Guo Songling, whose face was covered with bruises, and even Guo Songling, who had a little blood stained on his body, knelt in front of Li Yuanba and sincerely thanked Li Yuanba for saving his life.

Li Yuanba behaved very politely, he personally stepped forward to help Guo Songling, and said with a smile on his face: "Have you seen this king?" ”

"The small one once had the honor to participate in the procurement of building materials for the Dengzhou Governor's Mansion, and the wood used in the main house of your mansion was purchased from the Nanyang Islands!" Guo Songling has indeed met Li Yuanba, to be precise, he was summoned by Li Yuanba.

"I see!" Li Yuanba nodded and said, "I said that you look a little familiar, the relationship is an old acquaintance!" ”

Hearing Li Yuanba's words, although there may be more polite elements, Guo Songling was still quite moved, and he opened his mouth at the moment and said: "Lord Wang, if it weren't for you this time, we would definitely be in trouble!" After that, if you have any requirements, even if the small one is desperate, it will be done for you! "Okay, don't be smug about polite words!" Li Yuanba bowed slightly to him and said, "Since you signed the mutual aid agreement at sea, our imperial court has the responsibility and obligation to save you from the prison of pirates!" ”

"Lord Wang......" Guo Songling was moved to a mess this time, thinking about the torture he had suffered during this time, he was almost moved to cry.

"Okay, there are not many of you who are injured, let the ship's doctor on this king's ship take care of your wounds first?"

"Lord Xie is concerned, only a few crew members on our ship were injured by arrows, but fortunately, the injuries are not serious." When he said this, Guo Songling subconsciously glanced at the scar-faced pirate leader Pride, and said, "These pirates don't know why, they actually asked Lang Zhong on the island to treat the wounds of my crew!"
