"The Xinhua Army is really a good means! With thunder, he wiped out several vicious pirates, causing a huge shock to other pirate groups. I'm afraid that now, everyone is even more afraid of Xinhuaguo! Wu Ming, the military advisor, said with emotion.
"Yes! The gang on Heisha Island was notoriously ruthless, and they were all killed by the Xinhua Army! Cui Apu also sighed. He knew that if the Xinhua Army wanted to do something to them, then they would not be able to do anything.
"Big boss, have you made a decision now? Are we going to accept Xinhuaguo's recruitment? Wu Ming asked.
"Now, it seems, do we have any other path? If they don't accept Xinhuaguo's recruitment, they will really exterminate all the pirates! Cui Apu said helplessly. If he could, he would naturally want to continue to be a pirate, so that he could be at ease and no one would control him. But if it comes at the cost of life, there is no way.
"Big boss, this may be an opportunity for us! Xinhua is not as good as the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and we may be reused. After all, it is very likely that the Xinhua Kingdom was established by those pirates of Flying Fish Island, and if we can gain their trust, Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner! Wu Ming said. As a person who thinks he has some ability, he certainly doesn't want to be a pirate for the rest of his life. And this time, Xinhuaguo's recruitment. Undoubtedly, it gave him a chance! As long as he can join Xinhua and become a member of the Xinhua Army, he will learn from his talents. I'm sure I'll be able to get ahead in the future!
"Hmmm! Gather your brothers and ask for their opinions. Cui Apu said.
Soon, the leaders of the pirate group gathered again, but everyone's faces were a little unpleasant. Several powerful pirate groups were wiped out by the Xinhua Army one after another, which made them a little panicked. If they still wanted to confront the Xinhua Army before. So now, they have known that the Xinhua army is going to destroy them. It will be very easy. When life is in danger, everyone naturally has no good face!
"Brothers, there are still five days left before the deadline given to us by Xinhua Kingdom! Let's talk about it. What do we do next? It's about resisting to the end. Or do you want to accept Xinhuaguo's recruitment? Cui Apu asked.
This time, no one is blatantly opposed. There are many examples of pirate groups such as Black Sand Island! If they refuse Xinhuaguo's recruitment, the next moment those shells will fly above their heads. The strength of the Xinhua Army, although they have known it for a long time, and when they are begging for a living at sea, they are also resolute not to provoke the Xinhua Army. But now, the Xinhua army has hit the door, and they have no choice. War. It is estimated that there is only a dead end! fled, and the entire South Seas became the territory of the Xinhua Army. Where can they flee? Now it seems that they have only one choice left. Only by accepting Xinhuaguo's recruitment!
"I'll say a word. The strength of the new Chinese country is very clear to us now. And this time, Xinhuaguo's determination, I believe everyone also felt it! If you want to continue to be a pirate in the South China Sea, I guess not! The Xinhua Army will not give us this chance again! Everyone is from a poor background, and if there is a choice, no one will want to be a pirate. This time, the Xinhua army is attacking in a big way, and we simply do not have the strength to confront them. In my opinion, fortunately, it is better to accept the recruitment of the Xinhua Army. Xinhua is now the overlord of Nanyang, and they are also notoriously good at treating the Chinese. If we can join it, then we have an official identity! If you can kill the enemy on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions, maybe you can even mix up an official and a half-job, then it can be regarded as a glorious ancestor! Wu Ming, a military advisor, said.
Wu Ming's words made the pirates ponder. At first, they only thought that accepting the recruitment of the Xinhua Army would make them lose their freedom. However, now it seems that while losing your freedom, you can also gain a lot! If you can really mix up an official and a half-job, then this life is worth it! They had never thought of this before! When you become a pirate, isn't it because you can't survive?
"In addition, if you don't want to join the Xinhua Army, didn't Xinhua Guo also say it? Give us a piece of land, and live a secure life from now on. The land of Nanyang is fertile, and it is easy to harvest anything you grow! Moreover, the entire Xinhua country is vast and sparsely populated. Are you afraid that you won't be able to live a good life? Wu Ming, the military advisor, saw that everyone was a little moved, and continued.
"What the military advisor said is right, if Xinhuaguo is sincere in recruiting us, I think I can accept their recruitment! After all, Xinhua is not better than the Manchus, and those who are officials in Xinhuaguo are much better than those who are officials in the Manchu Dynasty! One of the pirates said.
The other pirates also nodded.
"Big boss, I think, we have to figure out what are the specific conditions of Xinhuaguo? If we can negotiate peace with them and fight for better conditions for our brothers, it will be the best! "The second master, who had the most resolute attitude against Zhao'an before, has also loosened his tone!
"In this way, military advisor, I will ask you to go on a trip and discuss with Xinhuajun, if we are willing to accept Zhao'an, what kind of conditions can Xinhuaguo give us!" Cui Apu, the big boss, said.
"It's good, big boss, I'm willing to make this trip!" In this regard, Wu Ming did not refuse. Besides, he just wanted to take this opportunity to show himself in front of the Xinhua Army. In this case, after surrendering to the Xinhua Army, he may be able to get greater benefits!
Wu Ming, the military advisor, left on a pirate ship, but less than fifty kilometers from their lair, he encountered the fleet of the Xinhua Navy. Wei Yong, commander of the First Fleet of the Xinhua Navy, is waiting here with eight warships! Just wait for the deadline to arrive, if Cui Apu still doesn't return, then they will kill him and uproot Cui Apu's pirate group!
Wu Ming hurriedly raised the white flag on the pirate ship to identify himself, so as not to be accidentally injured by the Xinhua army. If you don't even see the face of the Xinhua Army, and you are bombarded by the Xinhua Army, it will be a big loss!
Half an hour later, Wu Ming boarded the cruiser 'Xinhua'. A close look at the cruiser 'Xinhua' made him even more shocked. Is this the weapon of the Xinhua Navy in the South Seas? It's really tough. Of course, if he knew that there were more powerful 'Xia-class' cruisers in the Xinhua Navy being verified, he would have been even more shocked!
"General, I was sent by Cui Apu, the head of the family, to contact your army about recruiting security!" After seeing Wei Yong, the commander of the First Fleet, Wu Ming hurriedly explained his intentions.
"Oh? So what do you mean? Do you agree with our recruitment? Wei Yong asked. He knew that under the strong pressure of the Xinhua Army, Cui Apu and the others would make the right choice!
"General, we weren't born to be pirates, almost all of our brothers became pirates because they couldn't get by. If we have the opportunity to mend our ways, why should we give up? Wu Ming said. At the same time, he was also secretly observing Wei Yong. He felt that Wei Yong was somewhat familiar, where he had seen it before. Soon, he sounded who Wei Yong was. Among the pirates of Flying Fish Island, Wei Yong can be regarded as the number one person who is brave and good at fighting, and among the many pirates in the South China Sea, he is also famous! After recognizing Wei Yong's identity, Wu Ming was even more surprised. However, he was also more relieved. The pirates of Flying Fish Island are also very prestigious among the pirates in the South China Sea!
"Very good, the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie! As long as you accept Zhao'an, Your Majesty will not treat you badly! Wei Yong smiled.
"General, we want to make sure, if we accept Zhao'an, how will the Xinhua Congress settle us?" Wu Ming asked.
"As long as you accept the recruitment, the kingdom can give you several choices. First, those who are willing to join the Xinhua Army can join the Xinhua Army after our assessment! Navy or Marine Corps will do. Of course, after joining the Xinhua Army, it will be a regular army, and the previous pirate habits need to be changed. At the same time, it is also necessary to abide by the military discipline of the Xinhua Army. If you violate it, you will be punished according to military discipline! Wei Yong said.
"The general can rest assured, since he has joined the official army, he will naturally follow the rules of the official army!" Wu Ming nodded.
"Second, if you don't want to join the army. The kingdom will pay a hundred dollars of severance pay and distribute fifty acres of land to each person! That's enough for a person to live for a lifetime! Wei Yong continued.
Wu Ming nodded: "General, how will the leaders of our pirates, the Xinhua Army, be prepared to settle down?" This is what he cares about the most.
"The leader of the pirates will go to the military academy. After graduation, mass production is applicable! Many of the weapons and tactics of the Xinhua Army are unheard of by you! With your current ability alone, you can't command the Xinhua Army to fight at all! Wei Yong said.
Wu Ming was a little hesitant, he was worried that the Xinhua Army would turn his face and deny people after receiving the pirates' men. When the time comes, there will be no people, and they, the pirate leaders, will not be able to make any waves!
"Don't worry, I assure you that the Xinhua Army will definitely treat everyone equally!" Wei Yong seemed to see what Wu Ming was worried about.
"Well, General, I'll tell the big boss. I believe that the big boss will agree to Zhao'an! Wu Ming said.
Soon, Wu Ming returned to their lair and informed Cui Apu of the conditions proposed by Xinhuaguo. In the end, Cui Apu agreed to return to Xinhuaguo! (To be continued......)
