After listening to Liu Haojia's words, the naval officers only made a slight commotion. They exchanged glances without making any sound. The pirates cheered loudly, and there were even more people clapping and stamping their feet in chaos! It wasn't until they saw the army of officers on the opposite side that they calmed down their excitement and stood there honestly.
Liu Haojia glared at them and said, "What do you think this place is? This is my headquarters! No more loud noises about military law!"
The pirates' expressions changed immediately after these words were spoken! Did they know that the young marquis in front of them dared to kill him! Many people he knew died at his hands! When others talk about marching laws, the pirates may not care, but if this person talks about marching laws, someone will definitely be unlucky!
After the pirates calmed down, Liu Haojia said: "Now I tell you that the target of this operation is Kagoshima of Japan! This time we are going to defeat the Shimazu family and break into Kagoshima. Everything inside is important to us. Just take whatever you ask for!"
The pirates became excited again after hearing this, but thinking about Liu Haojia's words just now, no one made any move. Upon seeing this, Liu Haojia nodded with satisfaction and said: "For this expedition to Japan, all the food, wages and equipment will be provided by the navy. If you merchants need more equipment, we will report it later and we will replenish it for you."
The pirates immediately became excited when they heard that they could replenish their ordnance. One pirate was so excited that he raised his hand and said loudly: "Master Marquis, do you need to pay for these equipment?"
Liu Haojia was furious when he heard this. He slapped the table and shouted, "Drag him out and give him ten sticks!"
Only then did the pirates remember why when they landed on the island, the officers and soldiers would send people to repeatedly preach to them the rules of the army. One of them was that they were not allowed to interrupt the coach's speech without permission. They could only speak when the coach gave permission to speak!
As soon as Liu Haojia finished speaking, two servants rushed up and dragged the pirate leader out! The pirate leader also knew that he had broken the rules, so he did not dare to speak anymore and allowed his servants to drag him out!
Then there was the sound of a wooden stick hitting flesh outside the tent, and a moment later the pirate leader staggered in with his pale face and his legs crossed. He kowtowed first and thanked Liu Haojia before standing back to the class honestly.
Liu Haojia said at this time: "You are used to being at ease at sea, and there are no rules! But this time fighting with the army is equivalent to having the status of an official soldier, so if you do not observe military discipline, you will be punished! This time it is a small punishment but a big one. Commandment, I won’t handle it so leniently next time!”
Hearing Liu Haojia's words, the officers showed gloating expressions, but fortunately they did not laugh out loud! The pirates, on the other hand, were all silent, as they had learned that Liu Haojia was not easy to mess with!
Liu Haojia saw that they seemed to have learned their lesson, so he continued: "This time our target is the Shimazu family, with the Beiyang Navy fleet as the main force, and other maritime merchants as support. The specific plan will be decided based on the situation at sea. By the way In a word, this expedition can relax some military discipline."
As soon as Liu Haojia finished speaking, there were low murmurs from the teams on both sides. The officers were talking because they didn't expect Liu Haojia to say that! They have no idea what relaxing military discipline means?
And there was a murmur of excitement from the pirates! They were the first to realize what Liu Haojia's purpose was. The purpose of relaxing military discipline was to free up looting, so their interest in fighting immediately increased a lot!
At this time, Liu Haojia emphasized his tone and said word by word: "We are going to try a new mode in this battle. You don't need to know what mode it is, but I need you to know one thing, that is, what we are fighting this time If it goes well, I will try my best to persuade Lord Long Live to release a few titles! At the same time, I will also persuade Lord Long Live to issue an order to absolve some people of their guilt so that they can return home with dignity!"
Before he finished speaking, the bottom exploded! The officers were naturally interested in the title, but the pirates felt that the title had nothing to do with them, but the pardon document had a profound meaning to them!
As the saying goes, if wealth does not return to its hometown, it is like walking in brocade at night! Now that these pirates have been able to make money by transporting and trafficking goods, naturally they don't want to bear the name of another pirate! If there is really a pardon document, they can return to their hometown in an upright manner and pay tribute to
Ancestors kowtow! This is an irresistible temptation for them!
Seeing this, Liu Haojia knocked on the table to signal them to be quiet, and then said: "Don't think so much now, what will happen in the future! If you can't win the war, there will be nothing! Now everyone pay attention, after a night's rest tonight, Tomorrow morning we all pull anchor and head north. The squadron is in front, and the merchant ships are following! Okay, now you can ask any questions you have!"
The officers had nothing to ask about fighting, they just had to charge up. But the Pirates have a lot of problems here. So the pirates gathered around Liu Guangting and came forward to ask questions. At this time, it was difficult for him to reveal his close relationship with Liu Guangting, so he had to use his usual attitude towards ordinary people.
Liu Guangting came forward to pay homage and said, "Common people, please pay homage to the Marquis!"
Liu Haojia waved his hand directly and said: "No need to salute! The big dragon head has been doing well during this time, right?"
Liu Guangting bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Hou, for your concern! The common people are living a good life during this period! When I help merchants deliver goods, I also make some money, and I make a lot of money. This is all thanks to Mr. Hou." !」
Liu Haojia laughed and said: "This is your hard-earned money, what does it have to do with me? But if you make a fortune following me on the sea this time, it really has something to do with me! Forget it, no Enough talking, if you have any questions, just ask?"
Liu Guangting turned around and looked around at the pirates and then said: "Master Marquis, may I ask if the equipment that supplies us will be taken back after the war?"
Liu Haojia said: "This time is a little different from previous wars. All of you merchants and sailors are paid during the battle! Although the salary is not much, it is still a fair statement! You fight for the country, and the court I won’t lose you! As for the equipment, if you want to keep it, you have to deduct the money from the loot! But this will not affect the payment of your salary!"
The pirates immediately became excited after hearing this! To be honest, they don't think highly of wages! This time we went to Japan to fight, and the visit only lasted for two or three months. On a per capita basis, each person only gets six taels of silver!
