When he sat down happily, Liu Guangting pointed to Liu Gongdao and said: "You want to join the government and take my position, no problem! There are officers and soldiers living there in front of you, go ahead! And I can tell you clearly that tomorrow The Commander-in-Chief of the Ming Navy will be here soon, do you want me to introduce him to you?"
When everyone heard what Liu Guangting said, they immediately became quiet! Because during this period, Liu Haojia led the fleet on a killing spree at sea. He cut off the heads of many people and beheaded many people in public. They had been killed for a long time! And Liu Guangting actually said that he could have a relationship with Liu Haojia. They knew that it would be too late for them to seek refuge at this time!
Seeing everyone trying hard not to show their emotions, Liu Guangting couldn't help but chuckle in his heart! He knew that these people were frightened by the operation to suppress pirates some time ago, so he simply relaxed his voice and said: "I said one thing just now, and now I'm going to say two! That is, you can't beat me, so I can be the leader! "
Everyone's faces changed when they heard this! There are those who are not angry, there are those who are furious, and there are those who are thoughtful! However, everyone was still very sensible and didn't say anything.
And Liu Guangting didn't want them to talk, so he waved his hand and said: "Don't say anything. If you join forces, there will be more ships and people than me! It's useless! Even if you join forces, who will be in charge? Or? Can you have a unified command? Without a unified command, each of you is fighting, which one of you can beat me? Even if you have a unified command, are you willing to let others command the team? Aren't you afraid of being sent to the front? To die?"
Speaking of this, Liu Guangting deliberately said slowly: "The most important point is that you have joined forces. So do you know who among these people can be trusted and who can't? Who has been bribed by me? Or has simply taken refuge in me secretly? "
This hit the key point of the pirates, and they immediately looked at each other subconsciously! No one even refuted his words!
Just like Liu Guangting said, there is no possibility for the pirates to form an alliance at all! They have betrayed each other and stabbed each other in the back many times, so it is okay for people who are close to each other to unite in a small area, but to let them unite to fight on a large scale is simply a fantasy!
On the other hand, Liu Guangting's side had many ships and people, and one look at his sailors showed that they were strictly trained! Maybe they are still a little green, but they are definitely already qualified sailors! Not to mention anything else, the uniform clothes and class marks on their bodies are something that other pirates do not possess.
And this is exactly what a modern navy needs! This shows that Liu Guangting's fleet is a whole from top to bottom, not a piece of scattered sand like pirates!
Liu Guangting was very satisfied that his words had torn apart the last fig leaf of the pirates and completely shattered the only bit of trust between them! He laughed a few times and then said loudly: "The third point is that letting me be the leader can keep you alive!"
Someone in the crowd snorted and said, "Do you want to join the government and become a dog like you?"
"No, no, no, no!" Liu Guangting waved his hands and said, "You can't rely on the government now, because I have already taken the lead! So you can only survive if you rely on me!"
Someone else said below: "That's bullshit! Without you, I would have been at ease at sea for so many years, and I wouldn't have had my head cut off!"
Liu Guangting said nonchalantly: "That was before! But it's different now. You used to be able to escape the siege by the government, and you could also escape the killings of your colleagues, but can you escape the siege and suppression by the government and me at the same time? No way. ?」
Now all the pirates who just spoke were stuck! Because they really can’t hide! If the government army and Liu Guangting work together to encircle and suppress them, they will either surrender or go ashore and become obedient people. There is absolutely no third way out for debt!
At this time, Liu Guangting slowed down and said, "What I said just now were all angry words, now I will say something practical! You'd better listen carefully!"
Everyone was a little surprised to see his tone softening. Instead, they looked at him more intently, listening to what he wanted to say? Just listen to Liu Guangting say slowly: "When we fought each other in the past, everyone was at the same level, with the same number of people and ships, plus we were always afraid of being benefited by a third party.
, so even if you fight, it will stop when you hit the target, and it is rare to completely defeat the opponent! In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just that everyone had food to eat at that time, and it was not time to get hungry! We are so hungry that we may bite each other! "
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nodded with some empathy, thinking that what he said made sense. Then Liu Guangting changed his subject and said: "Besides, why can't the army completely wipe out us people? On the one hand, it's because there are many wealthy families on the shore who support us, and by the way, they inform us and provide supplies! And there are also many people in the Navy Communicate news to us! Although there is a certain price to pay, at least it will allow us to survive and make money, am I right?"
At this time, someone among the pirate leaders nodded helplessly, because what he said was really the actual situation. Seeing someone nodding, even those who didn't nodded softened a lot. Liu Guangting nodded with satisfaction, then sighed and continued: "But it's different now! As soon as the Navy Commander-in-Chief Wu Ningbo took office, he separated the fleet that could go to sea from the Navy and established a separate navy. Now it is even more under the jurisdiction of the navy. The emperor has direct jurisdiction, which cuts off the way for the government to take care of us! Then he cleaned up the nest owners on the shore, and many high-ranking families fell under his sword! Now both roads are cut off, and we will face the government and the army again. Are you confident that you can win the siege? Or are you confident that you can escape?"
Immediately some pirates said, "What can't we forget when we run away? This sea is boundless. We can go wherever we want and see how they catch us?"
As soon as this was said, many people immediately echoed it. Some people even said that they should simply go to Japan or go south. Others, who were more pessimistic, just said that they would run into the sea and find a big island to cultivate their own food!
When they stopped talking, Liu Guangting said disdainfully: "You are talking nonsense! It is better to seek refuge with me than to go to Japan. If you go to me, you can still return home after death. Can you go to Japan? There are also people who say they go south. Isn’t there anyone else occupying the waterway? After you go south, you not only have to fight with the local officers and soldiers, but you also have to be careful of attacks from your colleagues behind you. How many days can you hold on? Who else is stupid enough to talk about running into the sea? Let’s not say whether you can. Once you find the big island, you have found it. Can you prepare the baggage for the initial development?"
