0609 Desire is hard to fill
And when at sea, it was not at all troublesome to switch identities between maritime merchants and pirates. It is nothing more than looking at the strength of the opponent to determine one's identity.
Song Ke heard Liu Dahai's answer and asked with great interest, "Then can I go to the barracks to have a look?" I'm also a soldier, so I usually like to meet in the barracks! ”
Liu Dahai said: "Of course you can! Here, Mr. Governor, please! ”
One of the reasons why Song Ke was interested in the military camp was to see how the armament of the Red Eye Dragon King was. At the same time, he was also attracted by a group of soldiers he met on the road.
These soldiers patrolling the road look quite elite! They either carried spears or swords and shields. They all looked energetic and strong. What surprised Song Ke the most was that this small group of people walked very neatly. From afar, it gives people a sense of oppression.
As the group reached the front of the camp, they were stopped by the guards. After the guards briefed, an officer stepped out of the camp. Song Ke could tell from his expression that the trip would not be going too well.
Sure enough, the officer refused the request to visit the barracks with a serious face. But Liu Dahai arrogantly demanded that the officer open the gate and let them in. It could be seen that the officer was a little afraid of Liu Dahai. But he still adhered to his duties and refused Liu Dahai's request.
However, after arguing with Liu Dahai, the officer angrily got out of the way and let them go into the camp. Song Ke saw the situation in front of him and thought in his heart, it seems that this Liu Dahai is indeed a celebrity in front of the Red-eyed Dragon King! Even this officer didn't want to offend him! If possible, work on him, and maybe get more information!
When they entered the camp, the boys in the camp were in drills. They were dressed in uniform blue shirts and were practicing fighting in formations. For a while, swords and guns were raised at the same time, and the sound of killing shook the sky!
Song Ke looked at the team in front of him about 1,000 people, obviously a well-trained team. The whole team advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and the formation change was very fast. At first glance, it looks like an alcohol-trained team.
Song Ke observed for a moment and said, "My friend, you
Our soldiers are elite! But why do they only have such a small number of firearms? ”
Liu Dahai said: "This is something that can't be helped. Recently, the team has expanded a lot, and there are a total of 5 teams like this, so the supply of firearms is not available for a while. Our big bosses have been buying firearms everywhere, but we still can't fill the gap. The last time I went to you, if it weren't for the urgency of the matter, I would have wanted to discuss the purchase of firearms with you! ”
Song Ke smiled and said, "It's not a big problem! But as you know, my supply base is in Batavia, so I don't have a lot of weapons. But it's perfectly fine to sell some to you in small quantities! ”
Liu Dahai was overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much!" Mr. Governor, let's get back to this matter slowly. If this succeeds, my position will be even more secure! ”
Song Ke promised in his mouth, but in his heart, it was like setting off a stormy wave! When Song Ke visited just now, he had already raised the danger level of the Red Eyed Dragon King by one level in his heart. At this time, I feel that the red-eyed dragon king is too dangerous!
Song Ke was not worried about Liu Xiang's rebellion. Because he's just a pirate. Song Ke was confident that he would suppress Liu Xiang at sea. But this red-eyed dragon king is different! He is obviously not satisfied with plundering at sea, and has begun to officially start forming an army!
This is definitely not good news for Song Ke! Although the news of Liu Pei's annihilation of the Spaniards has not yet been reported. But Song Ke instinctively sensed the danger. Song Ke didn't believe that the Red-Eyed Dragon King would attack Daming with five or six thousand men and horses, that was looking for death!
But where will these five or six thousand attack? There is no doubt that it is Taiwan! If the red-eyed dragon king is allowed to carry out sea trade, there will be a strong source of funds. The pace of his arming of the army will be quickened, and the ranks will be expanded. When the time comes, his expansion goals will naturally turn to Taiwan.
Song Ke thinks his base in Taiwan can withstand the siege of these pirates, but what good is that? After withstanding the enemy's attack, the enemy will definitely surround you, and then the trade will be cut off! Song Ke had already determined at this time that Liu Pei would not cooperate with him, and even if he cooperated, it would be temporary. end
Anyone who has a strong army in his hands will definitely choose to expand. Therefore, Song Ke made up his mind in his heart at this time, he must nip the power of the Red-eyed Dragon King in the bud!
Liu Dahai accompanied Song Ke around the island and learned about the situation on the entire island in detail. This made Song Ke even more determined to get rid of Liu Pei! At the same time, it made him regret even more that he was defeated by the Ming army and did not control Penghu.
But Song Ke came up with a good solution at this time. That is, after defeating the Red Eyed Dragon King in the future, he will arrange for Liu Xiang to accept everything from Peng Hu. Liu Xiang is a native of the Ming Dynasty, and his occupation of Penghu will not excessively stimulate the Ming court. After bribing the local government, he may not be attacked again, so that he can indirectly control this cargo distribution center. When the time comes, you will be swimming in a sea of coins!
What Song Ke didn't know was that as soon as he left the barracks, one of the soldiers who used the bird gun threw the bird gun in his hand on the ground and scolded, "Damn it! In order to put on a show for those red-haired people, Lao Tzu wants to use this kind of bird gun! In case of a blow-up, wouldn't Lao Tzu's handsome face be scratched? ”
His companions laughed at him and said, "Not necessarily! Maybe the bird blows up and puts a few scars on your face, and you'll be even more handsome! More popular with little ladies! ”
After everyone laughed, the other person next to him replied with a sneer, saying, "The bird gun in your hand is not even half of the charge, how can it be exploded?" It's a little daring! ”
It turned out that in order not to expose his strength, Liu Pei specially asked the soldiers in the military camp to borrow a batch of bird guns from the maritime merchants. He knows how these Westerners are so good! If the enemy is too strong, they will not dare to attack. Only if they feel that the team in front of them is not strong enough, but there is room for growth in the future, will they make up their minds to nip the enemy in the bud!
At this time, Song Ke made up his mind that he must unite with Liu Xiang to kill the Red Eye Dragon King! Liu Xiang is different from the Red-Eyed Dragon King, he has always been just a pirate who is keen on plundering and slaughtering. After plundering money, he began to enjoy himself freely, without any long-term planning, and the trajectory of his life will not change from birth to death.
