Ding Yunyi said calmly: "The interests are always equal to each other. Penghu allows you to resupply and go ashore for adjustments, but you must abide by my rules. In addition to the ones I just mentioned, I also have rules on the sea.
"
As soon as the word "rules" came out, several pirates paid attention.
Ding Yunyi finally explained all his ideas: "First, from now on, the seven of you and I are allies, watching and helping each other. If one person is in trouble at sea, the others must give their full help, and there must be no excuses."
No one objects to this.
These six groups were originally small pirates. Pirates of this scale must unite to survive. Now that a strong man like Ding Yunyi, who has an entire navy, comes forward to organize it, it is no longer possible. For pirates, it is also
It's like finding a big backer.
But it's strange. Ding Yunyi is an official, they are thieves, and now an official wants to form an alliance with a group of thieves.
I am afraid that such a thing can only happen to Penghu and Ding Yunyi.
"The second point." Ding Yunyi said slowly: "Once the sea ban is lifted, there will be more ships traveling on the sea. Although you are pirates, there are things that can be robbed, and there are also things that cannot be robbed. I, the Ming Dynasty, do not rob merchant ships, nor do we rob weak merchant ships.
Merchant ships escorted by our Ming Ocean Company will not be robbed. If we want to rob them, we will only rob those ships that are rich in wealth, those that are in the West, and those that are getting rich and profitable!"
The six pirates hesitated.
They are small pirates and can only plunder some lone merchant ships. If they want to rob the well-armed red barbarian and dried silk merchant ships, I'm afraid they don't have the ability yet.
Ding Yunyi has already made arrangements for them: "Everyone, although Taixi's armed merchant ships are powerful, they are not invulnerable. I will help you install corresponding weapons on your ships, train the crew on board, and improve your combat effectiveness.
The opponent's capital to compete. At the same time, I will also set up a 'pirate fund'. Every time I successfully rob, I will put a part of the silver into this fund. If all of you here follow my rules, a few
If it doesn't open for a month, I will transfer money from this fund to subsidize it."
After hearing this, the six pirates felt a little relieved. If this was really the case, it would save them some worries.
"Besides, you are weak when dispersed, but what if you unite?" Ding Yunyi said with a smile: "United, you have more than ten ships, and with the weapons I gave you, how can you rob even a Taixi ship?
Can’t we plunder it? If the cooperation is successful, I think it’s totally fine if everyone distributes it equally according to each other’s contribution!”
Several pirates nodded slightly, and this article was considered passed.
Soon, Ding Yunyi turned to the most important thing: "I issued the call for a pirate meeting, but only the six of you responded. I, Ding Yunyi, feel grateful for your kindness. From now on, I will delineate your sphere of influence.
Within the range I have designated for you, no other pirates are allowed to enter, and other pirates are not allowed to touch the merchant ships passing through your waters. Anyone who dares to touch without permission is an enemy of my seven alliances!"
These words immediately boosted the spirits of the six pirates.
They would often focus on a target, work hard to scout and track it, and finally want to take action, but suddenly a more powerful pirate would appear to take action first, making their hard work go in vain. They are weak themselves.
, I could only swallow this breath, and helplessly watch others eat the fat, and I might not even be able to get a share of the soup.
Now Ding Yunyi's intention is to publicly stand up for them and fix the sphere of influence.
Fang Fenghuang was a little uneasy: "Sir, what if other pirates ignore you?"
"Ignore?" Ding Yunyi sneered: "Those are the enemies of our seven alliances! Anyone who is an enemy will be killed! If anyone in my Ding Yunyi alliance dares to touch him, no matter how powerful the other party is, I will use all the power of the Penghu Navy.
Chase him down with all your strength!"
The six pirates cheered loudly, their blood boiling, and they stood up together: "I am willing to go through fire and water for you!"
This time, they finally found a great supporter who was willing to stand up for them and was not afraid of anything!
Wang Desan suddenly said: "Everyone, since we have become an alliance, allies must have an alliance leader. Your Excellency is the most brave in the world, and I would like to make you the alliance leader!"
"We are all willing to accept you as our leader!"
Once this proposal is made, how can anyone object?
Ding Yunyi did not refuse and accepted the position of alliance leader. He had seven arrows brought to him and placed one in front of each person. Ding Yunyi picked it up and said:
"Today, I, Ding Yunyi, swear an oath to the Broken Arrow Alliance: The seven families will be united with one heart and one virtue, watch and help each other, and never betray. If we advance together, we will advance together, and if we retreat, we will retreat together. When one person is in trouble, the six families will help each other. We will share the blessings and misfortune, and we will share the favor and disgrace. If
Break this oath and have such an arrow!"
As he said that, he broke the arrow in two with all his strength.
The six pirate families also shouted loudly: "Seven families are in alliance, with one heart and one virtue...When one person is in trouble, the six families help each other. We share the blessings and misfortune, and we share the favor and disgrace. If you violate this oath, there will be such an arrow!"
Let's break the arrows together, the oath of alliance has been fulfilled.
Seven arrows were broken, and several specially made flags were put up again.
Ding Yunyi asked someone to unfurl the flag. It was a flag with a black background. There was a skull on two knives, and underneath, a large word "alliance" was embroidered with white thread.
"From now on, this flag is my communication signal!" Ding Yunyi said with a stern expression: "Whenever you see this flag at sea, it is our alliance. In addition, we, Penghu, have specially designed our own flag language to serve as a communication signal at sea.
For communication purposes, you can select smart and smart people on your respective ships and study them carefully. In the future, communication at sea will be as convenient as on land."
"Yes, I will obey the order of the leader!"
Leader! When these two words appear, Ding Yunyi has two identities. One is the defender of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is the leader of the pirate alliance.
It feels quite ridiculous when I think about it. A serious military officer of the Ming Dynasty has become the leader of pirates. If those in the court knew about it, they might cause some big trouble. Not to mention others, my father and his uncle
Brother-in-law, I think he will be the first to jump up and scold himself for ruining the Ding family's family tradition.
However, the greatest turmoil in the Ming Dynasty is only a few years away, and Ding Yunyi can no longer care about this. Strengthening his own strength is now the first priority.
Although this alliance leader can only govern six small pirates now, and is not recognized by most pirates, this is a beginning.
Ding Yunyi built the foundation of the pirate alliance. He believed that as time goes by, more and more pirates will join this alliance.
When the power is further expanded and more pirates join, then Ding Yunyi will become in the true sense:
