Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
These pirates don't have anything to say, after all, the boss has the final say, and the four of them have no opinion on the poisonous dragon, the boss has already revealed his tone a few months ago, and these subordinates also know it, this is a good thing after all, everyone will listen to Xiao Lang'er in the future, and since then there is a strong backing behind him, which is the Ming that ordinary countries dare not provoke.
Next, Xiao Lang'er said a few words, " Brothers, we are already old acquaintances, everyone follow me, I will never treat him badly, today I want to reward everyone, you have made extraordinary contributions, under the leadership of our Chen Island Lord, won a big tin mine, from now on we don't have to rob others, we will be very rich, when everyone has dividends, our task is to protect here, protect our tin mine, today, I am very happy, brothers and sisters have joined the Ming family, since then we are a family, we have a lot of common goals, is to build Palembang stronger, so that everyone can live with dignityใ Brothers, I will give you a reward of 20 taels of silver per person today! This is a special explanation from the Lord of the Island Chen!"
When the pirates heard that there were twenty taels of silver, they all boiled, and when the delicate companions brought over the boxes of silver, they opened them, and the eyes of the people shone brightly, and they began to pay twenty taels each, which was their salary for four months. With the distribution of the logistics staff in Palembang, the pirates quickly received the silver, and their eyebrows fluttered, and they had entertainment funds again tonight.
Xiao Lang'er continued, "Brothers, as the marquis of the Ming Dynasty, I will form a powerful sailor in the future, with about three thousand personnel, mainly to protect our shipping routes, after all, there will still be some hostile forces with bad intentions, so I hope to select some of the most elite sailors from among you and join my team, and I will pay each sailor a salary of no less than ten taels per month." "These pirates were very happy when they heard this, and they talked a lot, this is twice the salary of the present, and we will do it with you.
"However, it is not easy to join my team, you must go through the assessment and selection, and you can only join after passing, and then I hope that the brothers can show their talents, I know that there are many heroes among you, and there are places where you can show your talents in my team, we will not only run the South Seas, but also Africa and the Americas, and do business with Westerners, and when the time comes, your role will be very great. The little wave continued to beat the pirate's interest.
"We participate, we are willing to follow Hou Ye, as long as Hou Ye can afford us, our lives are everyone's. โ
"It must be good to follow me, do you see those beautiful black slaves on the ship? โ
"Wow! This is so beautiful, I just want to be tired at night, someone will pinch our backs and rub our shoulders!" "Wow! Look at those girls are so good that they can't say anything!" The pirates drooled when they saw it, especially when they saw those bewitching singers, who were much stronger than those in Palembang.
"Brothers, I hope you are here, develop well, and there will be a lot of good things in the future, but I also want to remind you that following me to do risks and opportunities coexist, I hope you don't flinch when the time comes!" Xiao Lang'er saw that the effect had been achieved, and continued, "Brothers, my fleet is about to start, I hope you will practice your skills well, and give you three months, then I will come here to select a thousand people and form a strong naval army." Goodbye, brothers, I'll be back again. โ
Xiao Lang'er walked forward, the crowd automatically separated, making a way, Xiao Lang'er walked towards the treasure ship, at this time there were neat rows of sailors standing on the Daming treasure boat, particularly powerful, feeling much stronger than pirates, pirates are also very envious, can sit on such a ship should be very windy.
Palembang is a natural port, after several generations of pirates operated, can stay at the same time two hundred ships, Xiao Lang'er stepped on the escalator on the Daming treasure ship, his hand down to greet, on the treasure ship.
The ship was opened, and there were three frigates in front of the way, then the Da Ming treasure ship, and twenty battleships from Palembang behind to escort it, and the whole harbor was boiling, and those pirates were cheering loudly, and they seemed to see a very bright and shining golden prospect.
Xiao Lang'er stood on the deck, also enjoying this atmosphere, there was a kind of passion burning in his heart, an incomparably broad Hanhai ambition was constantly spreading, his career began to start, his strength continued to increase, and over time, he would be able to run rampant in the sea without fear. Xiao Lang'er will no longer stay, and deliver the treasure to the Ming court as soon as possible, and he will be able to exert his strength and manage this sea area.
Seeing the twenty ships behind them, the hearts of the entire fleet have settled down, as long as they reach Butterfly Island and contact the Daming Sailor at that time, they can return to Palembang, after all, Palembang is also very important, in case someone takes advantage of it, everything that has been painstakingly managed will be lost.
The fleet is mightily heading towards the direction of Daming, twenty ships are now under the command of Xiao Lang'er, they are guarding around the Daming treasure ship, their leader is the poisonous dragon, the current poisonous dragon is already convinced by Xiao Lang'er, admire him for going deep into Palembang alone, and took Palembang in one fell swoop, no matter what means he used, after all, he used the least cost to get Palembang, and it is right to follow such a leader.
When the fleet passed through Johor, it did not enter the port, all the way to the east, continued to move forward, passed through Cham, Wanli Shitang, Wanli Changsha, and also passed through several of its own islands to replenish it, and now there are some immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, which is starting to build, after a month, finally arrived at Butterfly Island, needless to say the hardships along the way, Xiao Lang'er arranged for the poisonous dragon to lead twenty ships into the port, and they could immediately meet Palembang after a day of rest here, and their arrival weakened the power of Palembang.
When the mighty fleet entered Butterfly Island, the ships that came out to cruise saw that it was the ship of the island owner, and immediately turned the bow of the ship and opened the way in front, and the sailors who were defending on both sides were also cheering loudly, their leader Hou Ye came back, and the entire port was immediately surrounded by people, even Li Xiucai rushed out, and He Meng was out on a mission. It's been almost a year, more than ten months, and their island owner has finally returned. And compared to when he first went, his strength has increased a lot, when he went, there were six ships, and when he came back, there were twenty-four boats, this Marquis Shen is a god.
The fleet stopped in the harbor, and the shouts of the harbor were earth-shattering, and they had already woken up Huahua and Qiao Ye, their children were almost two years old, and they were running fast, and they were chasing after them, so that they would not fall.
Rulan and Jiu'er also saw this scene, and were very envious that they already had Xiao Lang'er's child, after coming back this time, they must also let Xiao Lang'er plant it for themselves, this time it was mainly at sea, they didn't dare to have children, otherwise the child would suffer.
The poisonous dragon also looked at this butterfly island, there is a different scenery, it is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is solid, the high island owner's mansion stands at the foot of the mountain, the streets are neat, the architectural planning is reasonable, it is not the lair of Marquis Shen.
Xiao Lang'er went down first, followed by Liu Jin, Shi Lang, Poison Dragon, Rulan and Jiu'er, Xiao Lang'er said hello to such an old brother. They knelt down and welcomed the Hou Ye back to his home. Xiao Lang'er walked over, helped Deputy Island Master Li up, and then waved his hand, don't see each other, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't be angry, what should I do. Xiao Lang'er saw two little guys in front of him probing their brains, their eyes were dark, Xiao Lang'er walked over quickly, grabbed one in one hand, and held them in his arms, and the two children were so frightened that they cried. Huahua and Qiao Ye, who were staring at him fiercely, were unhappy, they only had children in their hearts, and there were no two of them, so they looked at Xiao Lang'er and followed by two women, okay, I found two more outside, and see how I settle accounts with you tonight.
