Everyone glanced at the chasing fleet on the sea in the distance. Although the pirate ship running in front had tried its best, it still could not get rid of the three pursuing naval warships behind. And the pirates also knew that even if he got rid of the naval warship, he might not be able to escape this disaster!
Maybe the map of his family's lair will be on Wu Ningbo's handsome case! Even if those three ships cannot kill the man named Li, they might directly attack his home base later! In short, the pirate surnamed Li is finished!
At this time, Liu Guangting said: "Since none of you want to leave now, are you willing to accept the command of me, a big leader?"
The pirates were stunned when they heard this, and were thinking about whether they should agree to it! I heard Li Feiyu standing in front say loudly: "I am willing to support Da Longtou to ascend the throne! I wish Da Longtou a promotion and wealth, and good luck!"
After Li Feiyu expressed his stance, Zhang Shitou, who was standing opposite him, also raised his hands and said, "I am willing to support the big dragon head!"
With these two people taking a stand, the other pirates put down their dignity and expressed their support for Liu Guangting to take over and become the leader of the sea!
Liu Guangting was overjoyed when he heard what they said. He immediately stood up and said, "Okay, since you all agree that I will be the leader, then I will be disrespectful! Come and place the incense table as a sacrifice!"
Soon someone set up a table on the bow of the boat, with an incense burner and a tablet of the Dragon King placed on it! The sacrifice was a piece of pork, a fish and a plate of eggs! And a live chicken with wings tied on!
Then a sailor gave everyone a bowl of wine, and another sailor held a golden orchid and gave it to everyone. When the pirates saw the golden orchids handed to them, they had no choice but to write down their names and birth dates. If there is someone who cannot read, the sailor can actually help him write!
After everyone got their things, Liu Guangting bowed three times with incense in both hands, and then said loudly: "Today, Mr. Liu was elected by many brothers to become the leader. I will definitely regard all of you as brothers! We share blessings and share hardships." ! I will definitely help you brothers find a golden road! Please ask the Dragon King to be your witness!"
After speaking, Liu Guangting pulled out the dagger from his waist and picked up the chicken. He directly grabbed the wings and pinched the chicken's head, and the chicken's neck was exposed! Liu Guangting cut the chicken's neck open with a dagger and dripped the chicken's blood into the wine bowl! Then he held the wine bowl and said, "Okay, everyone, please burn incense!"
The pirates had no choice but to hold the golden orchid in their hands, then press three sticks of incense on the golden orchid with their two thumbs, then each bowed three times, and then stepped forward one by one to insert the incense in the incense burner.
When Liu Guangting saw that everyone had finished serving incense, he picked up the wine bowl with both hands and took a sip, then handed it to Li Feiyu. He also took a sip and passed the wine bowl to the next person. By the time I got back after circulating the news, I found that the bowl of blood wine had reached its bottom! Liu Guangting took the wine bowl and shouted loudly: "It's done! From today on, we are all brothers!"
After this ceremony, the pirates seemed to have been baptized, and they looked much more relaxed. They all greeted Liu Guangting with smiles, congratulating the leader and other good things, and then congratulated each other!
When they calmed down, Liu Guangting sighed and said, "I know you are actually not satisfied with me and think I kill people at will! But you also don't think about it, did the man named Li really die in my hands?"
In fact, these pirates have been complaining that Liu Guangting was too cruel. When they heard this, they even murmured in their hearts, why was it not you? You are just borrowing the hands of the officers and soldiers! However, the clever pirate leader among them has figured out the joints, and his expression has changed!
Even people who haven't thought about it react when they hear this. After all, some of the pirate leaders at this time are idiots! They also understood that the pirate leader surnamed Li was probably just a certificate of surrender given to Gu Ningbo by Liu Guangting!
And even if he doesn't die, maybe Wu Ningbo will have to pick two unlucky people to operate in order to establish his authority. Maybe this person is himself! Thinking of this, the pirates all smiled bitterly, and their eyes towards Liu Guangting became less wary.
Liu Guangting knew from their looks that they had figured it out. He sighed and said: "I also know that you are still thinking of electing me to be the leader so that you can get benefits from Uncle Wu Ning! But you don't think about it either. Uncle Wu Ning has given us the greatest The best thing is to survive, and only when you do well can you talk about getting rich! If you are not satisfied with such great benefits, then
This is really looking for death! "
Liu Guangting saw everyone showing some disapproval, so he sneered and said, "I know you don't believe it, so I'll tell you, it's not that pirates in the past dynasties have been killed, it's just that the court didn't take it seriously! In addition, we and the people on land The rich and powerful families colluded, so they barely survived! To put it bluntly, it was just trying to survive in the cracks! But now, the Ming Dynasty has specially established a navy and sent a nobleman to be the governor, making it clear that it wants to open up maritime territories Well, in this case, we have to go against the imperial court. Isn’t this looking for death?”
When he said this, he glanced at the pirate leaders who were standing and saw that although their faces were gloomy, they already had expressions of thinking, so he knew that what he said was in their hearts! So he went on to say: "Maybe you think you are very powerful, but no matter how powerful you are, can you be more powerful than those predecessors from the Jiajing period? No matter how powerful you are, can you be more powerful than the captain of the Wufeng ship? At that time, none of those people had hundreds of ships under their command. , Climbing high and shouting, there are countless people following him! But in the end, when he quarreled with the court, he was not dead, but escaped! At that time, a confused emperor who only knew how to make alchemy, and a bunch of officials who only knew how to be corrupt, took care of them all. Already! And now?"
At this point Liu Guangting stood up and walked in front of them, stared into their eyes and said slowly: "Although the current emperor is young, he has great ideas! Otherwise he would not have made the navy independent from the navy. A nobleman was also specially assigned to manage the navy, which shows that he knew that there would be great profits at sea! Besides, the officials in the court, let alone others, would be Prime Minister Zhang Juzheng. He can be said to be an able minister in governing the world! So now the court is in a state of only Second to the good times of the founding of the country when the king was wise and the ministers were wise!"
When he said this, he had already walked from Zhang Shitou on the right to the end of the team. Then he turned around and started walking forward from the end of the team on the left. He also stared into the eyes of these pirates and said: "Since we are from the imperial court, Good times are our bad times! What do we do? To put it bluntly, we are no different from bandits who rob roads on land! But if you have long eyes and ears, you should know that there is no capital to do business on land in the past few years. How many of our comrades were wiped out by the army? How many people are still hiding in the mountains and shivering! And now that the imperial court has cleared the land, where will they turn?"
