Chapter 917 Persuasion
Min Tianxi walked up to the bandits, pressed his hands down, and signaled everyone to be quiet.
As soon as he walked out, the bandits' voices suddenly subsided.
"Listen to me, listen to me!" Min Tianxi coughed lightly, "Master He just took us deep into the archipelago and killed dozens of Yin Vipers. I promise you one thing: Master He can drive away the Yin Sha of Yangshan Archipelago!"
With a "buzz" sound, the pirates were almost blown away by this news.
Everyone talked at once, and the loudest voice was:
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"You little thief, what kind of psychedelic drugs did our Taoist master take!"
"If the Yin Sha of the archipelago can be driven away, I will stand upside down for three days!"
"Taoist master, if you are forced to speak, just blink!"
Min Tianxi had been blowing the sea breeze on the sea for several hours, and his eyes were dry. He wanted to blink, but he had to force his eyelids to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings when he heard this sentence.
He Lingchuan took a special look at "Standing Upside Down for Three Days" and remembered his appearance.
Once the pirates start to make noise, this place is like a vegetable market, and it takes a long time to calm down.
Min Tianxi is also used to it and shows sufficient patience.
This is completely different from the military's strict discipline.
Min Tianxi waited until they calmed down before continuing: "He Xiaoliu, Blade, Lao Du, they all saw it with their own eyes and can prove what I said."
The pirates who followed He Lingchuan on the ship nodded like pounding rice: "It's true, the Yinsha on the sea and the island were sucked away by Master He! We saw it clearly and there is no way we are wrong."
"We sailed all the way to the coast of Longji Island and heard the roar of the King of Yin Vipers."
"We killed a lot of Yin Vipers on the way! We brought one back and tied it behind the boat."
The Yin Viper was floating in the waves and was just blocked by the hull. Aunt Zhu jumped into the water and pushed it to the beach.
If they hadn't dodged quickly, the pirates would have been knocked down.
Everyone turned around and gasped before they could curse:
What a big spider monster, alive!
What a big Yin Hu, dead, dead!
In the past few days, the wreckage of Yin Hu has been floating on the shore, and everyone has long been tired of seeing it. But Yin Hu with a length of nearly five feet is really rare.
What is the concept of five feet? It is a medium-sized whale.
The snake body is spread out, nearly half the length of the fish bone reef.
When capturing this powerful guy an hour ago, it kept thrashing around, and He Lingchuan's boat almost capsized; even a strong woman like Zhu lost her grip, and the boat was almost dragged into the sea.
At the critical moment, He Da Shao pulled out the Tenglong Spear and jumped into the sea, giving it a long spear to the top, directly piercing the top of Yin Hu's head.
Now Yin Hu still has that round hole in the middle of his forehead.
The scene became quiet. He Lingchuan looked at the thieves' wide eyes and knew that the effect he wanted had been achieved.
The shock brought by the giant corpse in front of them was more convincing than any words.
The pirates of the Second Dao knew that it was this kind of big guy that came to the island at night a few days ago, causing heavy casualties in the First and Third Daos; but He Lingchuan and others captured them at sea, and the difficulty coefficient was several times higher.
Moreover, they killed dozens of giant vipers in one breath!
This kind of power, this kind of efficiency... Everyone looked at Aunt Zhu who was as big as a hill again, well, plus this kind of help.
What Master Min said, maybe, possibly, probably is true?
The eyes of the thieves looking at He Lingchuan also became flickering and cautious.
Mysterious strong men of unknown origin are always frightening. Not to mention that they defeated the Second Dao and kidnapped Master Min a few hours ago.
Seeing the change in the attitude of his men, Min Tianxi took a deep breath and said loudly:
"Mr. He has already bought the Yangshan Islands from the Bailie people and is ready to manage them properly. Now there are many things to do, only lacking manpower. So I decided--"
The highlight is here: "Join Mr. He's team."
To He Lingchuan's surprise, this time the bandits' reaction was not as intense as before, but they looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Most of you here have been with me for more than ten years, and we have shared hardships. Those who are willing to stay will still share happiness in the future; those who want to leave, I will not stop you, we are brothers, you can pursue your own future!"
"Standing Upside Down for Three Days" stood up again and said: "The Taoist master is still in the hands of the other party, I am afraid that what he said is not sincere!"
Someone next to him corrected: "That's called insincerity!"
He Lingchuan smiled and said: "You usually lick blood on the edge of the knife, risk your life to rob, how much money can you make? If you are too ruthless, the government will find trouble with you. It's better to follow me and work hard, and you will be able to eat and drink well in no time."
Someone asked: "What can I do by following you?"
"A lot, but they are all legitimate business. Didn't your Taoist master Min say that there are many things to do in the archipelago, and there are plenty of jobs to do." He Lingchuan pointed in the direction of Yangshan Islands, "I am the owner of Yangshan Islands, it is legal and reasonable. You follow me, making money and spending money are all fair and aboveboard."
Pat Min Tianxi's shoulder: "You enlighten them well, I will go back to Blade Harbor first."
Min Tianxi immediately turned around and bowed his head, and replied "Yes".
He Lingchuan turned around and boarded the boat, sailing away from Fishbone Reef with Qiu Hu and others, leaving the space for debate to Min Tianxi.
Looking at the pirates on Fishbone Reef getting farther and farther away, Qiu Hu said: "Young Master, be very tolerant of these pirates."
"We have already hit them hard before, killing dozens of people." At this point, He Lingchuan remembered that Qiu Hu himself had killed six people, with a complete kill rate of nearly one-third, "Now it's time to give him some sweet dates."
The combination of kindness and force will have a miraculous effect.
He Lingchuan added: "Besides, the organizational structure of the bandits is different from that of the ordinary army. The army has a clear hierarchy, orderly hierarchy, and pays attention to discipline and obedience; the bandits are very loose. Although there is a leader, and although the leader also has a bunch of cronies around him, they Internally, we talk about fairness. The key to the so-called "big bowl of meat and big scales of distribution of money" is that the distribution of the leader is unfair, and the people below will run away and will not continue to work with you. "
"This kind of organizational structure cannot withstand pressure. Min Tianxi knows this very well, so he can't force his subordinates to switch to me, he can only persuade." He Lingchuan smiled, "I am lenient with them because we are really in urgent need now. manpower."
The water bandit was familiar with the Yangshan sea area, was strong, had good boating skills, and was familiar with the villages on the shore. This was exactly what He Lingchuan needed right now.
The biggest variable is nothing more than loyalty.
It doesn't matter, people's expectations can be manipulated.
Qiu Hu and others thought about it carefully and nodded secretly. Wang Fubao scratched his head and said, "Young Master sees things really clearly."
He Lingchuan sighed slightly: "I am afraid that few people can match my understanding of bandits."
He entered Panlong City at night and was trying to find ways to solve the water banditry problem in Longchuan River.
Wang Fubao asked again: "If we conquer the second path, there will still be a third path."
My young master has been upgraded to the island master, and it is absolutely impossible for him to let pirates roam the archipelago, but suppressing bandits has always been a troublesome thing, and Bailie has never been able to eradicate theft.
"Then it won't be up to them."
These words were quite vicious. Wang Fubao asked curiously: "Are you going to coerce them again?"
"What you do or not depends on the general situation." Qiu Hu patted the back of his head, "You will know when the time comes."
At this time, the soul-catching mirror was also in He Lingchuan's arms and asked: "Aren't you afraid that Min Tianxi is perfunctory with you again? When he returns to his hometown, he might just forget about his oath."
The master and Min were never bound by oath chains.
"Maybe." He Lingchuan changed the direction to blow the wind, "There are no absolutes in this world."
"But if he is a smart man, he should evaluate the consequences of being my enemy." He said calmly, "The procedures for my purchase of the island are complete, legal and reasonable, and I can also collect Yinsha, which means that I occupy the Yangshan Islands Absolutely take the initiative. They are just a gang of people who dare to betray their trust and rob my guests. I will not be polite to them. "
Today I asked Min Tianxi to meet. Not only did he want to show off his power to him, he also wanted to show off his muscles to him. No one had good intentions.
Otherwise, why would the powerful thug Aunt Zhu come along?
Only by letting the pirates know that he is someone they can't afford to offend or hide from can they possibly surrender to him.
Adding sweet dates to a big stick is always the only way to win people's hearts.
"Join if you can't beat him. This is the basic quality of a pirate." Otherwise, how could Min Tianxi have so many people under his command? "They'll figure it out."
¥¥¥¥¥
As soon as it gets dark, the wind picks up.
He Lingchuan had been very busy these days. After flipping through the account book Wen Daolun had sent to him, he remembered that he hadn't visited Lu Xun in two days.
As soon as he walked outside the post house in Yuheng City, Lu Xun happened to come back from outside and stopped him at the door:
"Congratulations, Commander!"
"Where are you going, Mr. Lu?" Seeing Lu Xun strolling in the courtyard, he was in a good mood.
"I'm leaving in a few days. I have to buy some souvenirs for my tribe." Lu Xun casually took out a jade pendant from the bottom of his sleeve and showed it to him, "By the way, look at this jade!"
They were standing under the fluorescent spores outside the door of the posthouse. The light was bright, and the jade pendant in his hand also shone brightly.
"Beautiful, like lychee jelly."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, He Lingchuan was stunned. Why did the shape and color of this jade pendant look so familiar to him?
"In more than three months, my grandson will be one year old." Lu Xun said with a smile, "I want to give him this piece of fine Tongshan jade."
"Is there such good jade for sale in Yuheng City?" Jade is the easiest to fake. His ancestors should not be deceived.
Lu Xun was startled and laughed out loud: "This was given to me by Commander Zhong before he left. I didn't buy it from the city!"
"..." What you said just now, isn't it easy for others to misunderstand?
Lu Xun held up the jade pendant and shined it under the lamp: "When I turn around, I'll have someone engrave a word on it."
He Lingchuan blurted out: "Deer?"
He remembered, wasn't this the relic left by his original mother Lu Youyun? But now it is just a blank jade pendant without the conspicuous red word "deer".
Lu Xun said: "I want to engrave my grandson's name."
"It's better to use jade as a family heirloom."
Lu Xun was pleased to hear this, and nodded after hesitating: "Okay, I would like to express my congratulations to the Commander-in-Chief."
