Rabbits don't eat grass near their nests.
The reason why Liu Youliang did not rob women along the coast of Denglai was not because of his conscience, but because he was afraid that this would offend the officers and soldiers of Denglai.
It would have been fine before, but now that the Denglai Navy has just been established, it is absolutely untouchable.
After all, plundering coastal merchant ships and going to the coast to rob women are two different things.
The former government can pretend not to see it, but the latter can never pretend to be deaf and dumb.
This was like a slap in the face, and as long as you were not a little mother-in-law, you would never be able to endure it.
The government must take action.
Otherwise, if the imperial censor is impeached, none of the county magistrates, prefects, magistrates, coastal defense officials, or even the governor will be able to get away with it.
Of course Liu Youliang didn't want to take the initiative to provoke the government or Denglai Navy.
So he would rather take the initiative to go further to eastern Zhejiang to rob women.
"Master, this is good.
I heard that the women in eastern Zhejiang are more water-savvy than the others.
They are so good at it that they can produce water with just a squeeze of their hands."
Wu Erhu said with a lewd smile.
He was tired of playing with girls from the north and wanted to try Xiaojiabiyu from the south of the Yangtze River.
"Ah I can't wait to taste these little pussies."
"Ahem, Master, who do you think between Mingting and Donglu can finally dominate the world?"
Zheng Bao asked a question very inappropriately.
Liu Youliang was stunned.
He spent the first half of his life as a fisherman and the second half of his life as a pirate.
In his mind, he never seemed to need to consider such issues.
What happened to the second child today?
Wu Erhuo even laughed loudly and said: "Second brother, don't seek happiness from the elder brother.
We are just a group of pirates.
Whoever wins the world has nothing to do with us."
"Of course it's related."
Zheng Bao raised his eyebrows and said, "If you want to be a pirate all your life, just pretend I didn't say anything.
But if you want to be a marquis or uncle one day, then you should consider this matter."
"How do you say this?"
Liu Youliang suddenly became interested.
"Brother, have you heard of Zheng Zhilong?"
"certainly."
There is no pirate who does not know Zheng Zhilong.
This man was originally a sea pirate in Fujian.
Later, he accepted the imperial decree and was promoted and became a marquis.
This is simply the direction that all pirates strive for.
But most of the pirates were just envious and didn't really want to follow Zheng Zhilong's example and surrender to the Ming court.
The reason is very simple.
When Zheng Zhilong surrendered, he had an invincible navy in his hands, and the Ming court was able to win over him with high officials and generous salaries.
But ordinary pirates don't have such strength.
A few ships is the norm, but a dozen or so ships is a big deal.
Even if a pirate of this strength surrenders, he will seal off a thousand households at most and serve as a guard, serving as a pawn.
"I can't be Zheng Zhilong" Liu Youliang shook his head.
"Of course I can't do Zheng Zhilong in normal times, but now is an extraordinary time."
Zheng Bao paused and said: "The Donglu and the Ming Dynasty are fighting for the world, and the battle in the end will definitely involve a navy showdown.

Who do you think they will entrust to spy on the military along the coast?"
Liu Youliang's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Yes, neither Donglu nor Mingting are strong enough to spy on the military situation along the coast on their own.
Because the coastline they control is too long.
To accomplish this task, we must rely on other forces.
Your best option is to rely on local pirates.
First of all, pirates are everywhere and elusive, making it very easy to spy on military intelligence.
Secondly, the pirates are familiar with the local terrain, and the authenticity of the military information they can detect is much higher than that achieved by relying on the army itself.
Therefore, both Donglu and Mingting need such a group of people to handle affairs.
"What brother has to do now is to choose one to bet on.
But be sure not to bet on both ends."
Zheng Bao reminded: "Hedging is suitable for the families of princes and nobles.
They hedge their bets to maintain their family's wealth and power.
Because no matter who wins, their family will continue to have a place.
But you are different, brother.
We are The pirates themselves have no power at all.
If they continue to be cautious and cautious, they will get nothing at all in the end. " Liu Youliang nodded lightly.
He basically agreed with what Zheng Bao said.
To make a big deal out of a small thing, you have to put all your efforts into it.
Only in this way can you get the maximum benefit.
"But it's not a good bet to make.
Mingting and Donglu are not small players.
I think they can divide the river into north and south to rule."
"Brother, you must not have such thoughts.
You have to believe that within three years one party will take over the world.
If you don't place your bet now, it will be too late to think about it again."
Zheng Bao clenched his fists and said.
"this" Liu Youliang gritted his teeth and said, "Among our brothers, you are the one who has read the most.
Come and analyze for us who is more likely to win the world."
Zheng Bao said without hesitation: "Of course it's Donglu."
"Didn't the Ming Dynasty just establish the Denglai Navy?
Could it be that they can't help but fight?"
"Brother, the navy is important, but land warfare is fundamental."
The Ming army's field combat capabilities were so poor that they could not withstand several rounds of attacks.
It was impossible for such an army to defend half of the country.
"But the Yangtze River is naturally dangerous.
How can the Tatars cross it without a navy in their hands?"
"It's true that the Yangtze River is naturally dangerous.
But you don't necessarily need an invincible navy to cross the river.
You can take a detour or build a pontoon bridge.
The simplest way is to instigate rebellion and persuade the naval generals of the Ming Army to surrender."
Liu Youliang was stunned when he heard this.
He thought that scholars have a lot of tricks.
Zheng Bao was a scholar before he joined the gang, and everyone came to him when writing or reading.
Unexpectedly, he is also so good at strategic matters.

"Then the Ming Dynasty was destroyed in the blink of an eye, wouldn't it?"
Zheng Bao seduced Liu Youliang step by step.
Liu Youliang no longer had the ability to think independently at this moment.
"Who says it's not the case?
So it's best for me to make a decision early."
Zheng Bao encouraged.
"Um."
Liu Youliang was not in a hurry to express his attitude.
After all, he is the boss, so he still needs to control his posture.
After a long time, Liu Youliang suddenly said: "Let's just say that we are trying to suppress the Qing Dynasty in Donglu.
How can we get in touch with them?"
Zheng Bao was overjoyed when he heard this.
"This is simple.
Although Shandong is still in the hands of the Ming court, Tianjin Guard is under the rule of the Qing court.
Denglai is not far from Tianjin Guard.
Brother, just send someone to express your attitude."
"Well.
Then let's send someone there."
Liu Youliang's desire has completely expanded.
If he could spy on the Denglai Navy for the Qing Dynasty, he would definitely be looked down upon, and it was really possible for him to become a marquis or uncle.
It seems that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not stingy about granting officials and titles, which was much stronger than the Ming court.
"But the less people know about this, the better.
You should pay more attention to it, my second son."
"Brother, don't worry, I have a sense of discretion."
Zheng Bao cupped his fists as a defense and said, "Brother just needs to wait here for the good news
