However, after the pirates were locked up, they did not eat and drink harshly, and they also had a meal of white rice every day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lin Chuanzong was a little confused, when a pirate can't guarantee to eat white rice, when he is a prisoner, he still has white rice to eat, is it because the people who captured them are too rich and willful or are they beheaded?

After a few days of thought, someone came to pick them up, and they were taken out in groups of ten, followed by two men with birds' guns. Although two people looked at ten people, the pirates were very honest, and the bright bayonets reminded them what to do - the battle at the docks, they were scared.

They were taken to the dock, and on the way, someone touched Lin Chuanzong and whispered: "Sea monkey, you said that we will be sent to the dock for what we will do, and we won't throw it into the sea to feed the fish, right?" ”

Lin Chuanzong didn't need to look, he knew who it was by listening to the voice. This person's name is Liu Yishou, a veteran pirate, because he is timid when he jumps to fight, he is called "keep a hand", ridiculed him for being greedy for life and afraid of death, and he has not even become a small leader for so many years. Lin Chuanzong was often bullied by pirates with big shoulders and round waists because of his thin physique, and Liu Yishou was often ridiculed because he was greedy for life and afraid of death.

"This won't happen, if you want to throw it into the sea, you will lose it that night, and you can raise us for a few days with good food and drink?" Lin Chuanzong analyzed.

"That's true, but shouldn't it be common sense to send us to the government in exchange for a reward? What do you do at the pier? Liu Yishou was puzzled.

The dozens of people were divided into several groups, and 66 arrived at the dock one after another. William had been waiting here for a long time, and he expressed his meaning with exaggerated body movements and broken Chinese.

"Guys, you are all experienced sailors, and I will assemble a fleet, and my warships need you! As long as you are willing to join, you can get a fixed monthly salary and live a decent life. All you need to do is get on the ship behind me and do your job. He pointed to the tall "Wu Yi"-class battleship behind him.

Although his Chinese language was bumpy and the content was obscure, the pirates roughly understood what he meant, and discussed it privately.

"Does this red-haired ghost mean to make us submit?"

"Isn't this the one the treasurer wants to take?"

"Lose your mother, who do they think they are, and they are not the government, and they still want Lao Tzu to give them their lives, Lao Tzu is used to being free, so he won't listen to their orders......"

……

Summer South and Charles stand by to watch William subdue the rebellious pirates. Seeing that the pirates were all, Xia Nan said to Charles worriedly: "It seems that it is not an easy task to tame these pirates. ”

Charles wasn't very worried, and shook his head: "Not necessarily. The pirates only recognize fists and benefits, and whoever has a hard fist and can give more benefits will serve whoever serves. ”

Seeing that everyone was talking, William didn't understand what they were saying, but he didn't care, beckoned, and asked people to carry over a box, which was opened in public, and it was full of white silver, and everyone closed their mouths and looked at the box of silver blankly.

"As long as you are willing to do it with me, the silver is yours - the average sailor can get three taels of silver a month, and the captain and first mate get even more. The most important thing is that we can divide a tenth of each capture in battle! William said, gesturing.

This ratio was suggested by William to Xia Nan, in this era when sailing is equivalent to giving his life to God, the crew who dares to go to sea are all adventurous people, and there are many outlaws among them, not to mention pirates, there are not enough profits to attract people to come on board and work for you - sailors are paid three times as much as the escort every month, and the appropriate commission for battle captures is also a weight to attract pirates to join.

Ordinary pirates actually don't have a good life, most of the looting proceeds are taken by the shopkeeper and the leader, and there are few who fall into their own hands, and they have to be cannon fodder when they jump into the gang. Even if he is a small leader, he is hungry for a meal, and if he has a big ticket, he will eat with a mouth full of oil, and he will be hungry when there is no ship to rob.

Now there is an opportunity in front of them: a minimum of 3 taels of silver per month, and they can also share it after they have done business, which is very convincing. Just like a wage earner can enter a government office to serve an iron job, the temptation is not small.

"Sea monkeys, how's it going?" Liu Yishou was eager to try.

Lin Chuanzong was puzzled: "Isn't it a pity for you to keep your hand?" What is given to the shopkeeper is a hard life, isn't it a hard life to give this red hair? ”

Liu Yishou cracked his mouth and smiled: "That's different, if you do it under the shopkeeper, you will die in vain, cut off a few more heads and cut a few fewer heads, there is no difference, if there is a benefit, they will take the lion's head." It's different here, even if you count the stars on the sea every day, you have 3 taels of silver every month, and you can save 20 or 30 taels of silver every year. ”

He thinks so, and even more so the rest of the world. Pirates only look at strength, and changing the court is commonplace, whoever has a hard fist and who gives more benefits will be mixed with whom.

Everyone shouted, ",! ”

"Is it possible to moon silver now?"

William smiled: "The silver is not a problem, but you have to get on the ship first to see if you are qualified to take this silver." ”

This is the test of everyone's ability. Those big-shouldered and round-waisted pirates smiled, isn't that a job in the bowl?

Charles said to Xia Nan: "How is it? I'm right. Do you want to get on the ship and see how William assesses the crew? ”

Summer Nan came to the interest: "Walking." ”

The "Wu Yi" class warship slowly left the dock and sailed to the sea.

Xia Nan and Charles stood at the bow of the ship, blowing the sea breeze, watching the pirates on the deck gearing up, and a group of guards next to them were on guard with guns.

Charles patted the side of the ship and said, "This ship is the first 5oo-ton battleship to go to sea, and it is of great significance. After these pirates are subdued, and all Lin's naval guns are in place, you will be able to form a combat force, and you should personally name this ship. ”

Xia Nan is very keen on naming this thing, from naming the maid to naming the boat, and he has fun. He said: "I have taken a unified name for the 5oo ton class, representing this class, using the name of a great general of China, and in the future, I am going to use the names of two of the most outstanding emperors of this empire for even greater class warships." As for the name of this first ship......"

He originally wanted to continue to use people's names, but after thinking about it, there were not many generals who could fight well in this dynasty, and later generations had mixed reviews. Or according to the practice of the new Chinese Navy, let's use the place name.

"This ship is the first real battleship launched in Lingao, let's call it Lingao!" 8
