Faced with the threat of force from the Xinhua Army, Cui Apu chose to accept the recruitment of the Xinhua State. If they refuse, the pirates of Black Sand Island are a lesson for them! Although pirates are free and uninhibited. But if you can't even save your life, what freedom is there?

The conditions proposed by Xinhuaguo were very generous for ordinary pirates. Whether they join the Xinhua Army or become civilians, they can be properly resettled. However, the leaders of the pirates had to enter the military academy to study, and most of the pirates were people who could not read a single word, and it was more difficult to let them study than to kill them. However, the Xinhua Army made it clear that if you want to become an officer, you must accept the assessment of the military academy, and after passing the assessment, you will be awarded official positions according to their respective talents. If you don't want to start directly from the private like ordinary pirates, the pirate leaders can only accept the conditions of the Xinhua Army.

Pirates can choose to join the Navy or the Marine Corps. Some of the good sailors naturally joined the navy and served on the warships. And those pirates who want to fight are to join the Marine Corps. Of course, there are also some old, weak, sick and disabled pirates who have been pirates all their lives, and the old pirates who originally thought that they would not die well, chose to become civilians. After all, if you continue to be a pirate, you may lose your life at any time and be able to receive a large amount of resettlement money from Xinhuaguo. It can also allow them to live comfortably for a lifetime.

Although some pirates were reluctant, they had no choice but to go with the flow when most of them chose to accept the recruitment.

After Cui Apo was recruited. The rest of Sha Wu Tsai has no other choice. When the First Fleet and the Fourth Fleet of the Xinhua Navy gathered more than a dozen 'Shark-class' cruisers to escort two battalions of marines to Sha Wu Tsai's lair, Sha Wu Tsai also wisely chose to end the recruitment of Xinhua State. After all, if they resisted, more than a dozen 'Shark-class' cruisers and two battalions of marines would be enough to wipe them all out!

Two of the largest of the South China Sea pirates were recruited. Let the other pirates in the South China Sea lose their backbone. Some pirates even took the initiative to contact the Xinhua Army and asked to join the Xinhua Army. Of course, the intelligence agencies of Xinhuaguo will find out. If it were those who killed innocents indiscriminately, Xinhuaguo would not accept their refuge. After all, if such a murderous person joins the Xinhua Army, it will bring some hidden dangers to the Xinhua Army.

Two months have passed. Pirates in the South China Sea. It's basically been cleared. All the pirates were either recruited by Xinhua or eliminated. According to statistics, there are as many as tens of thousands of pirates recruited by Xinhua this time! Half of these people chose to become civilians, and after receiving the resettlement money and land allocated by Xinhuaguo, they lived a stable life. The other half. Most of them are young people, and the blood in their hearts has not yet cooled. Coupled with the strength of the Xinhua Army and the treatment, they are very satisfied. So, joining the Xinhua Army, hoping to make a career and get ahead, became the only choice for these young pirates. This also makes the Xinhua Navy very sufficient in terms of troops.

In addition to the Chinese pirates, there were also some Western pirates in the South Seas. In the face of Chinese pirates, the Xinhua Congress chose to recruit An. However, in the face of Western pirates, Xinhua will not be so merciful. After exterminating several groups of Western pirates, they withdrew from the South China Sea, passed through the Strait of Malacca, and returned to the Indian Ocean. The South China Sea is already a forbidden area for them. The navy of Xinhua is too strong, and it is simply not something that these pirates can afford to provoke. Of course, as trade between the East and the West becomes more and more developed, even if they retreat to the Indian Ocean, there are still many opportunities for robbery. However, neither Xinhua nor Britain, which controls the northern shipping route of the Indian Ocean, will allow the existence of these pirates. Under the blows of the navies of various countries, the situation of pirates is getting worse and worse!

On February 12, 1839, Long Yufei summoned Cui Apu and Sha Wuzai. As the leading figures among the pirates in the South China Sea, the two are very familiar with the hydrology of the South China Sea and the coast of China. Their joining of the Xinhua Army has been of great help to the enhancement of the combat strength of the Xinhua Navy.

"Chensha Wu Tsai (Cui Apu) has seen His Majesty!" After the two were taken to Long Yufei's study, they saluted Long Yufei respectfully. Although Long Yufei is no different from a little kid in their opinion. However, they didn't dare to underestimate Long Yufei at all. After joining Xinhuaguo, they met a lot of acquaintances. Those people were all pirates from Flying Fish Island! Now they understand that the Xinhua Kingdom was indeed established by the pirates of Flying Fish Island. For this person who can lead the pirates of Flying Fish Island to build a strong country, they also admire it from the bottom of their hearts! After all, the pirate group of the two of them is much stronger than the original Flying Fish Island pirates. But now, Xinhua has dominated the entire South Seas, and they can only accept Xinhua's recruitment!

"Excuse me! From now on, everyone is a family! You are no longer pirates, but naval officers of the New Zealand Kingdom! Long Yufei said with a smile. When they were on Flying Fish Island, Sha Wu Tsai and Cui Ah Po were legends among the pirates of the South China Sea. Long Yufei has also heard their legends. Now these two legendary pirates have also become their subordinates. This made Long Yufei's dick silk mentality extremely satisfied.

"Write Your Majesty!" Sha Wuzai and Cui Apu stood in front of Long Yufei, looking very restrained. Although, Long Yufei has also been a pirate for a while, and he can be regarded as their peer. But now, the difference in status between the two sides is too big, and Long Yufei is already the king of this powerful country!

"You don't have to be restrained! I came to you today to find out what you are used to after joining Xinhuaguo, right? Long Yufei asked. He had learned some things, and those ordinary pirates, although they were a little unaccustomed to it, were still able to gradually adapt to the constraints of the military discipline of the Xinhua Army. But the leaders of these pirates are different, and studying in a military school is a complete torment for them!

"Your Majesty, to be honest, it's really a little uncomfortable! Chen is fifty-three years old this year, and he also wants to live a stable life for a few years. Therefore, I hope that His Majesty can agree to the ministers and resign from his official position! Sha Wu Tsai said. Among the pirates, he was the oldest. It also has the highest prestige among pirates.

Long Yufei frowned, if Sha Wuzai resigned, would the other pirates have different thoughts? In this case, it is not a good thing for Xinhuaguo.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I'll make it clear to the others before I do that! I have been adrift at sea for most of my life, and I originally thought that this life would be like this. Unexpectedly, the old man is old, and he can still live a stable life for a few days! Sha Wuzai was a little embarrassed.

"Alright then, I'll grant your request!" Long Yufei hesitated, but still agreed to Sha Wuzai's request to resign. After all, an old man in his fifties, if he is asked to serve the Xinhua Army, it is a bit too much.

"Your Majesty, the minister also wants to resign!" At this time, Cui Apu also said. Although, becoming an officer of the Xinhua Army, and even becoming a general in the future, this is very prestigious. But the study of the military academy made Cui Apu almost collapse.

"Ha Lu Ha! You're only in your thirties? What are you resigning? Long Yufei said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the courses taught in the military academy are really difficult for ministers to learn. Therefore, it is better to resign! Cui Apu said.

"Well, I'll give you another choice, continue to be a pirate!" Long Yufei said.

"What? Continue to be a pirate? Cui Apu's eyes widened, and he looked at Long Yufei in disbelief. Xinhua took so much effort to clean up the pirates in the South China Sea, and now he wants to let him go back to be a pirate, which makes him very puzzled.

"I've thought about it for a long time, and I've also learned about your situation in the military academy, and it is difficult for you to adapt to the Xinhua Army, knowing that you are used to being unrestrained. Therefore, I'm not going to force it! Long Yufei said.

"Your Majesty!" Cui Apu hurriedly thanked him, he never thought that it would be such a result.

"However, I also have two conditions, you need to agree to it!" Long Yufei said.

"Your Majesty, please speak!" Cui Apu nodded repeatedly. He knew that it wouldn't be so easy. Xinhua took so much effort to recruit them, how could they be so easily put them back as pirates?

"First, you need to keep your military position! In other words, you are pirates, but you are also soldiers of the Xinhua Navy! It's just that if you are caught by the navies of other countries, Xinhua will not recognize your identity. However, Xinhuaguo can provide you with weapons and equipment, as well as purchase the property you have looted at a reasonable price. In addition, you can't rob the merchant ships of the Xinhua Kingdom! Long Yufei said.

"Your Majesty, it's no problem!" Cui Apu agreed without thinking about it. This is equivalent to giving them an official identity, and their safety is guaranteed!

"Second, I want you to leave the South China Sea and rise to the north! Off the coast of China, and even North Korea and Japan! These can be the scope of your activities! However, you can't do anything to the Chinese civilians! Of course, North Korea and Japan are no longer in this range! When you are active in these waters, you have to record the hydrological data, and bring it back when you come back! Long Yufei said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cui Apo did not object.

Let these pirates scourge the Japanese and Koreans, and at the same time be able to obtain the hydrographic data needed by the Xinhua Navy, which will also prepare for the next step of the Xinhua Navy! (To be continued......)
