This money is a windfall for the sailors, but it is not eye-catching for the leaders! However, Liu Haojia promised that they could exchange the loot for equipment, which was very attractive to them!

Although these pirates were able to obtain certain weapons from different sources, they always lacked sufficient channels for them to purchase firearms. Therefore, Liu Guangting also asked excitedly, "Master Hou, do these instruments include firecrackers and artillery?"

Liu Haojia nodded and said, "Of course it is, but it's expensive! So you have to think about it, don't end up losing money!"

When the pirates heard this, they immediately burst into a low cheer! This is Zhang Zhiyong in the officer corps and said, "Master Hou, why did we only fight the Shimazu family this time!"

Liu Haojia said: "This time we are attacking the Japanese State not to say that we want to engage in an all-out war with the Japanese State, but to punish them! To put it bluntly, it's killing chickens and monkeys! Moreover, there are many daimyo of the Wa Kingdom, and if you let out the rumors to deal with one daimyo alone, the other daimyo will not support him, which is conducive to our assessment of the level of force of the Wa people! But the bigger other goal is looting, and this time we must get enough of it!"

When they heard that they could rob freely, the pirates were very excited! But some of the officers had ugly faces. There are not many of these people, but they should have a great sense of military honor, and they are a little resistant to the plunder.

Seeing this, Liu Haojia said, "I won't say anything about high-sounding words like punishment! Ben Hou clearly told everyone that doing this today is to try to find a way to make money for the navy! You should know how much money it costs to maintain a navy every day? If you don't want to do something, you guys will be eaten poor sooner or later! If we can find new sources of revenue for the navy, the navy will be able to survive for a long time and will not be left aside as before! You don't want to go to people anymore and make a living by fishing, do you?"

Although Li Wenliang was not interested in plundering, he could only accept this result when it came to the rise and fall of the navy. However, he still said, "Master Hou, can the navy organize similar combat operations on its own in the future?"

Liu Haojia said solemnly: "Absolutely not! Remember, such operations must be reported and approved before they can be carried out! We can break military discipline in order to maintain the survival of the army, but we are always soldiers, not pirates!"

After saying that, he turned to the pirate and said, "But the maritime merchants are not among them!"

Liu Haojia's words once again sparked a burst of cheers from the pirates! Even this will already be pondered by pirates, is it true that Dora will write her brother to go to the civil service in the future? And what they don't know is that this is exactly what Liu Haojia needs!

Then the pirates asked a lot of questions, and Liu Haojia patiently answered them one by one. After all, this is the first time that the two sides have cooperated, and it is only right that they asked in detail. And Liu Haojia is also willing to let them figure out the rules of this new game, and is naturally willing to answer.

When finally asked if there was nothing to ask, Liu Haojia turned to Zhang Li, who had not spoken, and said, "Is there anything else you want to tell you?"

Zhang Li hasn't said a word since he sat next to Liu Haojia, but Liu Haojia knows that his gaze has been turning around everyone, and it is estimated that he has already written down what everyone said, and then he will write it down as a secret music and send it to Jingshi.

However, Liu Haojia was actually very satisfied with this, which was also the main reason why he strongly asked Emperor Wanli to let Zhang Li come to observe this battle.

Since Zhang Li came to the navy, although he has installed many of his own people in the navy, he has neither interfered in command nor deducted military salaries, but only concentrated on supervising various affairs in the navy. And for naval officers, those who don't know how to do it will go well as long as they don't meddle in things!

So although they don't have a good impression of the prison army, they don't have any bad feelings. Since he doesn't add to the chaos, Liu Haojia will naturally not lose Zhang Li. So every month, a copy of the silver will be sent over, and Zhang Li naturally accepted it with a smile. So the cooperation between the Liu family and Zhang Li is still very pleasant!

Zhang Li heard Liu Haojia's inquiry and said, "Master Hou asked our family to speak, then our family will say a few words!"

After saying that, he got up and shook his sleeves and said, "The people standing here today are officials and soldiers, as well as maritime merchants.

Needless to say, the officers and soldiers are here, let's give you maritime merchants a wake-up call! When you go out on this expedition, you must strictly obey the military orders and act cautiously! If it's a bad matter of the Long Live Lord, even if the Hou Ye spares you, our family can't spare you! But do you understand?"

The pirates naturally agreed loudly, and then Liu Haojia saw Zhang Li sitting back, so he said directly: "Those who need equipment supplies will go out to discuss, and Li Wenliang will be in charge." Then let's rest to our own devices."

Liu Haojia sent everyone out and greeted Zhang Li for a while. Then the pirates reported the equipment they needed. After Liu Haojia saw it, he found that there was nothing special, so he signed his name with a big stroke of the pen and let them happily go to replenish the supplies.

Early the next morning, the fleet pulled anchor and set sail, and at the forefront was Liu Haojia's flagship. His flagship was a freshly made cruiser with a total of 48 guns on both sides! The ship had been at sea for less than a month, and as soon as it had completed its sea trials, it was transferred to Liugong Island to serve as his flagship.

Behind the flagship, the ships of the 1st and 2nd flotillas followed him in two columns. Because it was a long voyage, neither detachment carried small ships. Behind them was the ranks of pirates.

However, compared to the neat queue of the detachment, the queue of the pirates was much looser, but these pirates had superb ship management skills, so although the formation was scattered, none of the ships fell.

The long team driving in the sea can be described as majestic, looking at the team in front of him, Liu Haojia can't help but imagine the scene of the huge fleet when Zheng He went to the Western Ocean! Now these two small fleets have spread out a long way on the sea, if Zheng He's huge fleet will cover what a wide sea!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh again! If the Three Treasures had the intention of expanding territory or trade, would the imperial court that got the sweetness be angry with this largest ocean-going fleet in the world at that time? If Da Ming walked on the ocean, what kind of scene would Da Ming be?

Sailing on the sea is calm and boring! Liu Haojia reads books every day on the boat, and when he is tired of reading, he exercises martial arts. But the sailors were not as happy as he was, they had endless work to do every day!
