Lord of the People: I Rely on Cheating To Fight For Hegemony

The number of pirate ships that Lesa Middleton recovered was too small. Fortunately, Qu Mao had never counted on pirates, so he was not particularly disappointed.

Seeing more than a dozen pirate captains leaving aggressively, Qu Mao looked at Lesa Middleton and said, "Lesa, don't make trouble.

These are the families of naval heroes, and it is difficult to explain to other naval heroes if something goes wrong.

As I said, it is best to discuss with Sylvia and Fuer before making a decision. As a result, you directly called their family members, and there were not even 20 pirate ships in total.

You also know that the ones who robbed Maffei were fake pirates from the invasion fleet. In the future, the families of these naval heroes have accidents around our Yi Town territory. How can they explain to other naval heroes?

Now there are people from all the families, Sylvia, Fuller, Christine, Justin, Lilu, Yi Wen, Li Huamei, and Shanks' families, all of them are passionate and lacking in strength..."

Lesa Middleton frowned and interrupted Qu Mao: "My lord, it's past two o'clock in the afternoon, you should prepare a little dinner.

After the captains come back at night, you can complain about your subordinates. "

Qu Mao shook his head helplessly, waved away Lesa Middleton, and turned back to the pirate family, not knowing how to end it.

At 7pm on November 13th in the third year of Tianxuan, the living room of the lord's hut in Yi Town was once again crowded with these pirate captains. Qu Mao directly invited these pirate captains to eat in the restaurant of the lord's hut, but the pirate captains did not visit at all. They eat meat in large pieces, drink in large bowls, and brag to each other so loudly that the floor of the restaurant in the lord's cabin trembles.

Sylvia Ocean, Fur Swamp, Christine Crillian, and Shanks Reed have all led their fleets out at night to harass the enemy fleets that invaded the territory of Yi Town.

However, five heroes from the coastal defense fleet and cruise fleet, including Lisa Middleton, Justin Smith, Li Huamei, Lilu Argot, and Ivan Woodin, came to accompany Qu Mao to entertain these pirate captains. .

Lesa Middleton walked up to Qu Mao with a wine glass, and said to Qu Mao: "My lord, the 10 hijacked ships of the Nandi Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Maffei, have sailed to the outlying island of Di Port intact. There will be no traffic along the way." There are warships from the invasion fleet attacking them.

In addition to returning the goods on the sea ship intact, the pirates who robbed the Nandi Chamber of Commerce also gave an additional 50 sailors for each sea ship.

The pirates who do it do not have sea ships to make additional compensation, and we do not need them to convert them into gold coins for compensation. Therefore, after friendly negotiation, the pirates who robbed the merchant ships of the Nandi Chamber of Commerce will pay a total of 40 small warships and 4,000 first-tier sailors captured by the Nandi Chamber of Commerce. , 4,000 second-tier ship shooter prisoners of war, and 2,000 third-tier jumper prisoners of war as cargo compensation.

I wonder if you are satisfied, my lord? "

Qu Mao also picked up his wine glass and asked, "Damn it! I remember the invasion fleet that robbed Maffei's merchant ships. The total number of warships was as high as 800. You only have less than 20 pirate ships. How did you do it?"

Lesa Middleton said proudly: "My lord, the pirate ships sent by the various families are long-known pirate ships in the sea, and there is no problem for a single pirate ship to defeat a fleet of hundreds of warships.

We dispatched nearly 20 legendary pirate ships, and the invasion fleet that looted the Nandi Chamber of Commerce did not dare to call itself a regular navy, and could only accept the rules of pirates to deal with this matter.

By the way, my subordinates have already contacted Sylvia Ocean. Lord Sylvia said that the navy has taken all the compensation from the enemy, and only sent back the 10 ships and cargo from the Nandi Chamber of Commerce, including the crew. 500 would also need to be handed over to the Navy as prisoners of war.

In the follow-up, Silvia, on behalf of the navy, promised to add another 50 sea ships to the Nandi Chamber of Commerce. "

Qu Mao nodded and said, "I believe that Sylvia Ocean and Maffei Trani can coordinate our own internal affairs.

Lesa, I just want to ask: Can these less than 20 pirate ships help our territory of Yi Town deal with the current invasion fleet? Even if you pay a certain price after the war. "

Lesa Middleton stared at Qu Mao for a while, and said: "My lord, in the maritime operations against the invasion fleet in Yizhen territory, the role of pirate ships is limited, after all, pirate ships are not used for regular combat.

But my lord must have this support force. Instead, I can dispatch pirate ships in the name of various pirate families to harass the logistics fleets of these invading fleets along the way and demand that the logistics fleets of these invading fleets pay pirate taxes. This is also in line with the rules of pirates.

As for the frontal battle, adults don't need to think about it, it's unrealistic. "

Qu Mao nodded thoughtfully, and asked, "Lesa, are they willing to fight for our territory in Yi Town?"

Lesa Middleton said: "My lord, of course pirates are unwilling to participate in regular naval battles between territories.

However, the relationship between these pirate families and our territory of Yi Town is different. After all, most of our naval heroes are excellent descendants of these pirate families, so it is no problem to help us collect taxes appropriately.

At most, the pirate tax collected by the pirate families is completely unnecessary in our Yizhen territory, and our Yizhen territory also provides them with ground bases. "

Qu Mao said: "That's no problem, don't say that the pirate tax they collect themselves belongs to them, it's not a problem that our Yi Town territory can even issue an extra gold coin.

As for ground bases, any military port can allow them to berth, and their pirate ships are not many. "

Qu Mao has been worrying about the lack of troops in Yizhen's territory. Although there are less than 20 pirate ships, Qu Mao sees the potential of these pirate ships. It would be great if they can help Yizhen's territory.

Besides, the pirate forces might be able to cooperate with Sylvia Ocean's naval operations, so that the navy of Yizhen territory can achieve the greatest results.

Thinking of this, Qu Mao asked: "Lesa, are you going to arrange this matter, or should I ask Sylvia to connect?"

Lesa Middleton said: "My lord, since you have already made up your mind, then the communication between the subordinates and the pirate captains is our family, and it is not so difficult to communicate.

Everyone else has to organize the navy to participate in the battle, and then just let Lilu Argot and Yi Wen Wooding dock. "

The pirate captains naturally did not reject Lysa Middleton's suggestion, and left the lord's hut after eating and drinking.

Unknowingly, Yi Zhen's territorial navy had recruited reinforcements from the pirate family, at least able to hold back part of the invading fleet.
