Chapter 264: Subjugating Zhang Heizi
Chapter 264: Subjugating Zhang Heizi
Gu Wenxuan knew that these pirates were very superstitious when traveling on the sea. If he didn't use some tricks, they would never be defeated by him willingly.
He thought about it and summoned out the soul warriors in the sword.
These soul warriors are not human at all, so when they appear, they float in the air, appearing and disappearing.
This frightened the pirates so much that they all knelt down on the boat and kowtowed.
"Grandpa God, we all submit to you and will follow you for the rest of our lives!"
Gu Wenxuan listened to their words, then waved his hand, and these soul warriors returned to the internal space of his sword.
Even Chen Sijia had never seen this move of Gu Wenxuan before. She was very surprised. Was this move of Gu Wenxuan a magic trick or real? He raised so many soldiers that she didn't know whether they were ghost soldiers or divine soldiers!
At this time, Gu Wenxuan loudly said to these pirates:
"Of course, you have to submit to me. It is not without benefits. As the saying goes, an emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers. Today is the first day you submit to me, so I will also give you a huge benefit!"
As he said this, he waved his hand and the bow of every pirate ship was suddenly filled with various guns, all of which were brand new and had never been used.
Among these guns there were common Type 38 rifles, Thomas submachine guns, some standard rifles, of course some light machine guns, and even a few cannons used on warships.
You have to know that these pirates also have guns, but they are all relatively backward guns. Now suddenly every bow deck is filled with these standard weapons.
They were overjoyed all of a sudden. Maybe they didn't care about money, but these weapons were more important than their lives. They were all people who lived on the edge of a knife.
Weapons are their life. Without weapons, pirates are nothing. They are just a group of fishermen.
The key point is that these weapons seemed to appear in the air suddenly, which was too shocking to them psychologically.
So these hundreds of pirates are now completely submissive to Gu Wenxuan, and no one has the intention to resist.
The leader of each pirate ship ordered his men to carry all the guns into the cabin.
After moving the bow clean, Gu Wenxuan transferred a lot of food from his space and placed it on the bow, even some meat.
The pirates were so shocked that they were numb and only knew how to transport the food into the warehouses. Now, their pirate ships have made a great harvest without looting!
Every pirate had a smile on his face. They all wondered if they were dreaming.
Now Zhang Heizi truly surrendered to Gu Wenxuan.
He respectfully invited Gu Wenxuan into his cabin.
Gu Wenxuan followed him into what was probably his main cabin, or his bedroom. However, his main cabin was also a mess, with all kinds of things, including mahjong, swords, and even a few bull heads hanging on it.
Anyway, it's quite weird.
Gu Wenxuan couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that Zhang Heizi had little education and was probably from a fisherman's family.
There was a large chair in this cabin, with a tiger skin spread on it.
Zhang Heizi respectfully invited Gu Wenxuan to sit on the tiger-skin chair.
He also had someone move a chair next to the tiger-skin chair and asked Chen Sijia to sit on it. He didn't dare to ask who Chen Sijia was. He guessed that she was the wife or lover of this immortal grandfather, but he didn't dare to ask.
Chen Sijia was very satisfied. This pirate had good eyesight.
"Grandpa God, if you have any instructions from now on, Zhang Heizi will definitely follow them!"
Gu Wenxuan smiled and said, "You don't have to call me Grandpa God, you can call me God of Wealth. My nickname is God of Wealth. I have nothing but money.
As long as you follow me, I won't let you go hungry, but our main goal now is to fight the Japanese, so I take you in as my subordinates. The main purpose is to snipe these scattered Japanese warships at sea. Of course, their warships are powerful, so you should not provoke them, just fight guerrilla warfare!"
When Zhang Heizi heard that this man had a lot of money, he originally thought that he had conquered him in order to rob passing merchant ships, but now it seems that he is a patriotic hero who fought against the Japanese.
Now Zhang Heizi has seen clearly that Gu Wenxuan is a living person, not a sea god, but he definitely has some divine abilities. Although such a person is easier to approach, he is also more terrifying.
"But your ship is too broken. I will buy you a few better ships later. We want to build a proper navy!"
The words "establish a proper navy" shocked Zhang Heizi. This has been his dream since he was a child. How glorious it would be to be a naval general!
Unfortunately, he was born in poverty and had nothing but brute strength. He couldn't even be an ordinary navy officer.
"God of Wealth, I will listen to you. I will do whatever you say!"
Gu Wenxuan asked, "Where is your base? You can't be drifting on the sea for years, right?"
Zhang Heizi: "Our old village is located in a place with dense reefs. There are many reefs in that place, and large ships can't get in at all, so we have been entrenched there for a long time!"
"There is also a large natural cave on that island that can hold 10 soldiers. Even if a few hundred of us are trapped, we can move to that natural cave and survive for eight or ten years as long as we have food!"
Gu Wenxuan didn't expect that these pirates had such a good place, so he asked Zhang Heizi to take him to have a look.
So Zhang Heizi ordered his pirates to sail the pirate ship towards their lair.
Just as they were sailing, they saw a warship coming towards them. The warship was brightly lit and the searchlight was sweeping around, and they just happened to see three pirate ships.
Zhang Heizi's face changed drastically when he saw it: "God of Wealth, these Japanese are still talking nonsense. This patrol boat is from the Japanese navy. What should we do?"
Gu Wen first walked out of the cabin to take a look. There were indeed two Japanese patrol boats, but these patrol boats were not very large. One was more than a thousand tons, and the other was about seven or eight hundred tons.
Although Gu Wenxuan did not take them seriously, he was really afraid of the pirate ships because they were wooden boats and their tonnage was very small. Compared with the patrol boats, their boats were just rafts and were not worth an attack at all.
Gu Wenxuan said, "Originally, I wanted to go to Europe to buy you a few warships. Now they are delivered to your door, aren't they?"
Zhang Heizi looked at the three pirate ships around him. They were made of wood and were in tatters. How could he dare to fight against the steel behemoths?
Yes, in Zhang Heizi's eyes, this Japanese patrol boat weighing more than 1000 tons was a steel behemoth.
"Don't worry. I said I would take them and give them to you as the first batch of warships. I mean what I said!"
