When the pirates heard this, their chests felt tight, and they wanted to accuse Liu Guangting of not keeping his words! But when they thought about it carefully, Liu Guangting never said anything about the recruitment from the beginning to the end. It was entirely their own idea! So it was very uncomfortable to have this breath stuck in my throat for a while!
Liu Guangting sighed and said: "You all only know how to take advantage and don't know how to pay. How can you get good results! But fortunately, I already have a plan in mind, and I will tell you now!"
When everyone heard this, they let out a fierce breath and heard Liu Guangting say: "When we meet Uncle Wu Ning, there are always some bottom lines that must be drawn first! First of all, I thought, if I can recruit An as an officer, many brothers will be afraid. You can't stand the constraints! So let me make it clear here, if someone wants to join the army, I will try my best to recommend it! If you don't want to join the army, just continue to follow me and live happily at sea! Those who want to join the army now raise their hands!"
The pirates looked at each other but no one raised their hands. Seeing this situation, Liu Guangting waited for a while, looked at each of them one by one, and when he was sure that none of them wanted to join the army, he said: "I know how to ask you people to join the army. You must be dissatisfied with the lack of pay and silver. You are still restrained! You want to float on the sea and you are not willing to bow your head! How can there be so many benefits for you!"
The oldest pirate leader smiled and said: "Isn't this exactly what the leader needs to come forward to solve!"
Liu Guangting waved his hands impatiently and said, "I'll tell you a few conditions. If you agree, we'll talk about it. If you don't, let's break up as soon as possible!"
The old pirate looked at everyone and said, "Longtou, please tell me first!"
Liu Guangting sat up straight and said: "First, we don't have to mess around in the Ming Dynasty's waters, but all previous cases must be uncovered, and we can no longer be held responsible! And ensure the safety of the families and property of all the leaders!"
The pirates immediately nodded in agreement! If Uncle Wu Ning agrees to this, they can return home with their money! Firstly, you can return home in fine clothes, and secondly, you can return to your hometown to worship your ancestors!
Liu Guangting continued: "The second is that we can freely enter and exit all ports, replenish supplies, and purchase goods! The third is that if we traffic goods or help people travel across the sea, we must be treated the same as other people! What do you think of these three What do you want?"
The pirates discussed in low voices, and finally the old pirate came out and said: "If these conditions can be negotiated, we will sincerely recognize you as the leader!"
Upon hearing this, the pirates shouted loudly: "That's right! If we talk about it, you will really be the leader!"
"Longtou, you have to make the decision for your brothers!"
When they calmed down, Liu Guangting said: "Of course I will try my best to talk, but you also have to behave for me! Come to the island with me in a while, the team should be more orderly, and you should follow my command when entering and exiting. For me, We also have to be respectful and show that we are one! Otherwise, who would care about a mess of people!"
At this time, a pirate said hesitantly: "Longtou, is it possible that Uncle Wu Ning is planning to trick us into getting a spoonful of stew on the shore?"
Liu Guangting snorted and said: "Death early or late, you will die, you are afraid of a ball! Besides, how can the dignified Uncle Wu Ning keep his word! And if you want to negotiate terms with others, you have to show your ability! If it is If you don’t go, I’ll go alone and talk nonsense!”
The pirates all fell silent after hearing this, as if I wouldn't move even if others didn't move! Seeing them like this, Liu Guangting said directly: "Everyone just wants benefits and doesn't want to take risks. How can there be so many good things in the world? If we don't show enough strength, Wu Ningbo will take us seriously. Really? Maybe if you change your mind, you can support others!"
At this moment, someone suddenly heard someone shouting in the crowd: "Longtou, I'll go with you!"
Everyone looked and saw that it was Li Feiyu who was speaking! And then he saw Zhang Shitou opposite him raising his hand to express his willingness to go.
Liu Guangting slapped his thigh and said: "Okay, there are still two brave ones! Forget it, I won't force you, you can go back to the ship! Now Brother Li and Brother Zhang will accompany me ashore!"
Hearing what he said, the older pirate leader stamped his foot and said, "Count me in!"
Although someone started to speak first, no one else spoke. Upon seeing this, Liu Guangting said directly: "If you don't want to go, hurry up and get off the boat. I'm about to pull up the anchor and set sail!"
Li Feiyu and three others lay on the side of the boat and ordered the boat to go back and report that they should move towards Liugong Island. As for the other pirates who heard that Liu Guangting's team had really set sail, they all hurriedly got off the boat and rushed back to their own ships. Then they watched as Li Feiyu and others' ships merged into Liu Guangting's fleet and headed directly to Liugong Island. Drive away!
When watching the fleet approach Liugong Island, these pirates were worried that the official army would make moves! However, the navy there acted as if they didn't see it and allowed Liu Guangting and the others to move onto the trestle. Then a large number of pirates carried messy things onto the pier and began to camp on the roadside.
Liu Guangting had the largest number of people and the largest camp. He was also lined up closest to the meeting hall, which made him very conspicuous! The remaining three families lined up one after another and started setting up the camp!
What particularly surprised the pirates who landed on the island was that the officers and soldiers camped opposite were just looking curiously at the roadside. At most, they stood in the middle of the road and watched the excitement, but no one crossed that road.
Seeing this scene, many pirates were tempted, so one after another ships approached. Sure enough, they were not attacked, but there were still two pirate ships parked in place. I don’t know what they were thinking!
By the time it was about to sunset, each camp had been sorted out and everyone was free. Then the old pirate leader came to Liu Guangting and asked, "Longtou, why don't you send someone to persuade those two people?"
Liu Guangting said coldly: "It's hard to persuade the damn ghosts with good words! They are seeking death. Who can blame them?"
The old pirate's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he said in surprise: "Could it be..."
Liu Guangting said: "Do you still remember what the messenger said? Set up camp before sunset! Sunset will come in a while. Guess how Uncle Wu Ning will deal with them!"
The old pirate said eagerly: "I'll send someone to call them over right away!"
After saying that, he turned to leave, but Liu Guangting grabbed him and said, "It's useless. I have sent people there just now, but they said they still have to wait and see! So I am not afraid to tell you clearly that after sunset they There’s no chance anymore! Look, the warships there are already preparing to raise their sails!”
