Chapter 801: Pirate Alliance
No matter how much Zhu Houhuang regrets it, but things have happened, and regret is useless. But soon, Zhu Houhuang didn't even have time to regret it, because Liu Laodao made a big situation.
I have to say that if the Xu family, Xu Dong, and Xu Song brothers are the idols of many maritime businessmen, they pressed the right bet, invested in a country, and became relatives of the emperor from a ninth-rate businessman. also has a knighthood in his body, and has become the first family of Dongyong. Such a myth is not much different from Lu Buwei, how can you not let the maritime merchants worship and worship, not to mention that Xu Song still has a lot of maritime merchants to eat.
And the person that those pirates worship is Liu Laodao.
Although Xu Dong has also done some pirate hookups, but Xu Dong is mainly in business after all, but since Liu Laodao went to sea, he has been licking blood with this knife, and now he has become a Dongyong sailor, one of the best characters, such a character, how can he not be respected by the same knife head licking blood, and if he is respected, he uses fame, and with fame, he is very easy to do.
Just like Ma Yun and an ordinary person do the same thing, even if the resources invested are the same, Ma Yun can make better progress, just because the word Ma Yun itself is a kind of resource blessing.
Liu Laodao is like this.
Zhu Houhuang never expected Liu Laodao's call, and all the pirates almost looked at the scenery and went to Liu Laodao's side.
Zhu Houhuang asked these pirates to meet on the island opposite the southern capital, and there were tens of thousands of large and small ships, and there were nearly a thousand ships. Of course, their ships are not the opponents of the Yongjun Naval Division in terms of armament, but looking at this scale, it is enough to make some people tremble.
Zhu Houhuang was happy and worried in his heart.
It's a good thing that such a large force has entered his command, but the worry is that if it is not done well, it is likely to push this force to the opposite side.
Zhu Houhuang attaches great importance to this matter, he wants to go over and preside over this matter himself, but Zhu Houhuang's surroundings have dissuaded him, so that's it.
Liu Laodao didn't expect that so many people would come, and he was overjoyed, not to mention anything else, he waved his pen and mobilized good wine and meat from Shaofu, and feasted all the pirates, and the consumption of these materials made Shaofu bitter.
After all, this is tens of thousands of people, not thousands, a few steps north to Japan, south to the Indian Ocean, all pirates, whether Han Chinese or not, this is simply a big gathering of pirates.
"Ladies and gentlemen." Liu Laodao drank three rounds and said, "In the past few days, how has my brother treated you?" ”
"Okay." The following applauded in unison.
Don't think that pirates drink big and eat meat. It's like don't think that the people who rob the house are all heroes of Liangshan. In fact, many pirates are living in a very difficult situation, and there are many hungry and full people. Therefore, the three-day feast has enough wine and meat, so that many little minions are very happy to eat. Of course, the real powerful bigwigs will definitely not be bought by a few meals.
Liu Laodao said: "Brother, I am on the orders of His Royal Highness King Yong, to recruit manpower, brother, I don't tell lies, the light-eyed country on Java Island is bold, and he actually dares to take the old port with His Royal Highness, this old port is the Three Treasures Grandpa stood down, it is my Ming territory, how can my Royal Highness spare them, naturally it is a hard lesson." According to the meaning of His Royal Highness, if he does not do two things, since he dares to take the lead, he will destroy the country, but the bookkeeper is going to make a plan, and he has just fought a battle with the Franco, and the money is not raised. ”
"Brother Liu, did His Royal Highness King Yong ask you to come to us to borrow money?" I don't know who shouted, and immediately burst into laughter.
"Go." Liu Laodao drank a bowl of wine fiercely, his face turned even redder, the wine surged up, his face seemed to be burning, and said: "My Royal Highness has a mountain of gold and silver in his hand, and a little bit is slightly exposed between his fingers, which is enough for you to eat, it's not that I look down on you, you only have a few dollars in your hands." I want my Highness to pay attention to you. My Royal Highness is very simple, I can't use troops recently, but I can't cheap them can't succeed, I gave His Highness an opinion, and it is also a way out for everyone. ”
"You guys are fishing at sea every day, do you know what you've been doing lately with the highest income?" Liu Laodao asked with a bit of alcohol.
Liu Laodao didn't say it seriously, with a bit of alcohol, but it made them trust them even more. It seems that when you drink alcohol, what you talk about is not a public matter, but a private matter.
"It's just to go ashore and rob, Zhejiang is rich, just grab a handful, it's enough to make money." A pirate seemed to sigh, and said as if envious.
"Then why don't you go?" Liu Laodao said.
"The big guy laughed, how can my small body resist the encirclement and suppression of Yang Ge Lao's heavy soldiers. I can eat a few bowls of rice myself. I know. The pirate said.
Liu Laodao said: "Begging for a living at sea, I don't know when I will die, and it is not only the risk of going ashore to rob, but also the risk of robbing Dongyong's merchant ships is not small." Many of you, if it weren't for His Highness's employment of people, then you would have gone ashore openly in this life. And my Royal Highness dealt with it this time, Java, that is, let you be ordered to rob, and what you grabbed is yours, and you are allowed to sell the stolen goods in Nandu. ”
Liu Laodao's words were not finished, and there was a commotion below. Someone shouted and said, "Boss Liu, we took this job." ”
"Yes, it's done."
"This vote, we did it."
For a while, the voice was so loud that it suppressed all other voices.
Everyone who can be the leader of the pirates is not a fool. What they value most is nothing else, that is, a legal identity, an identity that can go ashore and sell stolen goods.
"Smack." Liu Laodao slammed the wine bowl in his hand on the ground, everyone was quiet, Liu Laodao picked up a wine jar and said: "Of course, if I give you sweetness, there will be restrictions." Liu Laodao said as he picked up the wine jar and drank for a long time, and everyone watched him drink and didn't dare to move, it seemed that they could only hear the sound of Liu Laodao's throat.
"Boom." Liu Laodao drank until he was half-drunk, and put down the wine jar. said: "First, what you committed before, His Royal Highness King Yong will write it off, and from then on your net worth will be innocent, don't worry about being caught, but from now on, if you dare to commit a crime, it won't count." Second, His Royal Highness has issued a task in Nandu, and after you receive the order, you can get a reward if you go to work. If you do it well, there will be a knighthood reward. Boys, don't think that the title of Dongyong is a false title, not to mention anything else, as long as you can get to the earl, you will give a place to the seal, and on this place, you have the final say. You are a prince. ”
Liu Laodao's words completely detonated the minds of the pirates below, and they stepped forward to ask one by one, Liu Laodao drank with them one by one, and did not explain much, and distributed the things that had already been printed to each of them, and then there was a big drunkenness.
Liu Laodao was simply carried out.
The next day, when Liu Laodao was hangover and didn't wake up, outside Liu Laodao's mansion, there were already many people to visit, and they all came to inquire about specific matters.
However, Liu Laodao does not need to come forward in these matters, and Liu Laodao does things, and he may not be as meticulous as Dongyong's scribes, these people explain them in detail one by one, and Yang Shen made the charter.
Yang Shen added a lot of private goods to it, such as ship registration, and also wanted to put these pirate ships under the management of Dongyong.
Yongjun has a ship registration system, but this ship registration system is fundamentally a part of the military system, and the Yongjun army was in a state of lack of ships for a long time after being taught a lesson by the Franco fleet in the Battle of Penghu. Zhu Houhuang was very reluctant to use all ships as warships, but he did so.
Therefore, the Yongjun Navy has the bottom of all the ships in Dongyong, ready to call at any time, which formed the ship registration system of Yongguo, and later there were more ships in Dongyong, and after there were private ships, the ship registration system had a new meaning, for example, taxation.
Customs duties and port berthing fees are levied on the basis of ships, so it is also useful to know how much ships have in stock.
