Ang Lee had already planned to set up a foundation on Black Wolf Island. However, Black Wolf Island was the territory of pirates after all. If the soldiers suddenly stationed here, it would inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Black Dragon and other pirates. This would not be beneficial to Ang Lee's elimination of these pirates. Therefore, the best way was to let the soldiers under his command disguise as pirates and quietly enter the Black Wolf Sea. As long as he could hide from the Black Dragon and others, all the problems would be solved.
At this time, although many pirates had been eliminated, there were also many who surrendered. There were also some fishermen who were threatened. They were all very good targets. As long as they were controlled, it might not be impossible to steadily occupy the Black Wolf Sea.
However, it was not easy to block the news. After all, there were so many captured pirates and fishermen. As long as one of them leaked the news, it would be very difficult to handle. Therefore, it seemed that all the captives had to be confined to Black Wolf Island and not allowed to leave. In this way, as long as everyone was under control, the news would not be leaked. In addition, there was only one pirate leader left, Green Hound. At this time, Green Hound was still on Black Wolf Island and was not clear about everything. If he could win Green Hound over and give him a chance to turn over a new leaf, things would be easier to handle.
In the entire Black Wolf Sea, Black Wolf Island was originally an island completely controlled by pirates. The affiliated fishermen lived on other islands. This was also to prevent their secrets from being known by others and to prevent interference with the normal lives of ordinary fishermen.
This provided a very good condition for the soldiers under Ang Lee to quietly occupy the Black Wolf Sea. As long as all the insiders were locked on Black Wolf Island, it would be fine. Ang Lee had many soldiers under his command. It was not difficult for several of them to watch one person. They could completely block the news on Black Wolf Island. With Green Hound's help, the effect would be better. Therefore, it was necessary to win over Green Hound.
"Assistant Minister Li, we have investigated all ten pirate ships. There is indeed a lot of treasure on them. The cabins of all the ships are filled with all kinds of treasures. There are gold, silver, jewelry, pig iron, tungsten, grain, cotton, cloth, and other materials."
Chen Long said.
When Ang Lee heard this, he was naturally very satisfied. This trip was a great harvest. His hard work was not in vain. So much harvest now belonged to him. Of course, the soldiers would be able to get a share of the benefits. Every soldier who participated in this operation would benefit.
"Haha, the harvest is really good. These are all directly brought to Black Wolf Island. In the future, we will stay on Black Wolf Island. The scenery on this island is good. We will stay here for a few months first. We will go back after we eliminate all the pirates in the Black Dragon Sea."
Ang Lee said.
"Assistant Minister Li, there are so many of us. If we all go to Black Wolf Island, won't it be easy for others to see through us?"
Chen Long said.
There were twenty to thirty ships with more than a thousand people. With so many people suddenly stationed on Black Wolf Island, it would indeed cause a big commotion. It would be easy for others to see through us.
"Don't be afraid. We will quietly enter at night. First, we will control Green Dog and the others and think of a way to make them surrender. Then, we will stay on Black Wolf Island. All the captives will live on the island with us. The rest of the people are not allowed to enter Black Wolf Island. During the day, as long as we don't go out together, how will others know how many people are on Black Wolf Island? There are so many pirates. If we don't leave more people on the island, I will be worried. "
Ang Lee said.
There were many pirates in the Black Dragon Waters and even more affiliated fishermen. If the pirates mobilized the fishermen to attack, it would be very dangerous if there were not enough soldiers. With more than a thousand soldiers guarding the island, there would naturally be no problem in terms of defense. A few more defensive arrow towers would be enough to defend the island. Also, the two armed clippers of the pirates were really good. With a little modification, they would be able to exert more power.
The defensive towers on the island could be used to set up catapults. There were many stones on the island. No matter how many catapults they threw, they would never run out. Furthermore, the damage value of stones to ships was very high. With enough stones, it would be enough to defend Black Wolf Island.
Black Wolf Island was still very far away. It was estimated that they would need at least midnight to reach it. They could use the cover of the night to quietly land on Black Wolf Island. However, there were still many things that needed to be prepared before they could land on the island.
Ang Lee looked at Chen Long and said, "Bring the captives here. Make sure they are smart."
"Yes."
"Assistant Minister Li, these few look smart."
Chen Long said.
"Why did you become thieves?"
Ang Lee asked.
A pirate said, "We have been living in the Black Wolf King's territory since we were young. If the Black Wolf King asked me to join, I wouldn't dare to disobey."
"This is the Black Wolf King's world. Whatever he says goes. No one dares to disobey him. As long as we are selected, we must join. Otherwise, only death awaits us."
"This is our agreement here. The Black Wolf King protects our lives in this area, and we have to provide them with enough men. It is the same in other waters. Some people also think that everyone who lives here is a thief. After all, everyone lives with thieves every day."
After listening to the words of the pirates, Ang Lee became thoughtful.
Ang Lee nodded and said, "In that case, you were also forced. Since you have surrendered, I can make the decision to forgive you. However, it depends on your performance. If you perform well, not only will you be free, but you will also be rewarded."
"It's true."
The pirates were very happy. They naturally didn't want to die. If they could atone for their sins by performing meritorious deeds, they would be more than happy to do so.
Ang Lee said with a smile, "Of course it's true. I am a man of my word. Besides, you have no other choice but to believe me. Haha!"
"Okay, we believe you. What do you want us to do?"
A pirate asked.
Ang Lee said, "What I want you to do is not difficult. You only need to do as I say unconditionally. First, you have to cooperate with us to take down Green Dog and the others on the island and persuade them to surrender. The Black Wolf King and his brothers are already dead. Now, only Green Dog is left. I heard that this person has been guarding Black Wolf Island. His hands should not be stained with the blood of innocent people. As long as he can turn over a new leaf and help us, he can be forgiven."
"Okay, we can do it. The Sixth King, no, Green Dog, will definitely surrender and redeem himself."
A pirate said.
Ang Lee said with satisfaction, "Haha! That's great. I hope you can complete the mission smoothly. Don't worry, as long as you complete the mission, I will not go back on my word. You will be pardoned for your crimes and can continue to live nearby. In the future, you will be fishermen here. "
After arranging these pirates, Ang Lee continued to let his subordinates persuade the other pirates and affiliated fishermen to turn over a new leaf. As long as they performed well, they would be pardoned and rewarded. If they didn't, they would be punished.
After that, Ang Lee looked at the seized treasures in detail and was very happy. He immediately distributed the benefits to everyone who participated in the operation. Everyone received at least three months' worth of treasures.
The wind on the surface of the sea was a bit strong, but it felt very comfortable when it blew on people's faces. Li An was in a very good mood. This battle had been fought beautifully. He had obtained a great result at a very small price. With so many treasures, Li An could freely give out rewards to his subordinates.
Soon, the fishing boat that acted alone returned to the main force with even better news. They actually received ten boxes of gold bars, which were the ten boxes of gold bars that the new butler of the Zhou Family planned to secretly take away.
"Haha, today's luck is really good. We actually got another ten boxes of gold bars. This time, the harvest is yours, so your rewards are even higher than theirs. Each of you will get five months' worth of treasures, haha!"
Ang Lee said excitedly.
They were able to get these ten boxes of gold bars because his subordinates did a good job. They made a prompt decision to intercept the new butler of the Zhou Family. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gotten these treasures. Since they did such a good job, Ang Lee naturally wanted to reward them generously so that they could serve him better.
After a whole day's journey, Ang Lee's fleet finally arrived at the Black Wolf sea area in the middle of the night. They were not far from Wave Island. At most, they would arrive at the pier of Black Wolf Island in half an hour.
"Assistant Minister Li, Black Wolf Island is in front of us. We will soon be able to enter Black Wolf Island and control this island."
Chen Long said excitedly.
Ang Lee said with satisfaction, "Very good. After entering Black Wolf Island later, you must control the pier and all the ships. Don't miss a single one to prevent the captured people from escaping. The pirate's surroundings must also be strictly patrolled. The open and hidden sentries must be combined to ensure that not even a fly can fly out or in. In this way, the news here will not be easily known by outsiders."
"Assistant Minister Li, don't worry. I know what to do."
Chen Long said confidently.
"Yes, as for the fishermen who are being controlled, we also need to give them a reasonable explanation. We will use the construction of the defense tower as an excuse to tell the fishermen's families outside that they are temporarily requisitioned for the construction of the defense tower and will only be able to return after a few months. If they are still worried, they can come to the island to take a look, but they must leave immediately after seeing it and are not allowed to stay on the island. This will dispel the fishermen's doubts. In addition, don't rush the captives onto the island. We have to wait for the island to settle down before sending them onto the island. Moreover, we have to keep a close watch over them.
Ang Lee said.
At this moment, on Black Wolf Island, Green Dog and the others were not resting. They knew that the Black Wolf King and the others were about to return. They deliberately stayed awake to wait for the Black Wolf King and the others.
"Sixth King, the King and the others should be back by now!"
A pirate asked.
Green Dog said, "According to the time, they should be back soon. Why don't you go to the harbor to welcome them?"
"Yes, Sixth King. We will go now."
Several pirates who stayed behind hurriedly ran to the harbor.
Green Dog muttered to himself as he ate his supper, "Strange, why didn't those guys come back for dinner? Isn't it just to watch over the young lady? One person is enough. There's no need for two people to watch over her. It's fine to take turns to eat."
Actually, the two pirates guarding the young lady had already been killed by Li An, and the young lady had been rescued. However, at this moment, the young lady had returned. Since the Black Wolf King had been eliminated, the young lady's family naturally had to return and continue living here. They were already used to living nearby, and if they rashly moved to another place to live, they might not be able to adapt. If they couldn't adapt, then it would be a terrible disaster.
After the pirates walked to the harbor, they saw a fleet of ships in the distance. This made them very excited.
"There were only ten ships when we went out. Why are there so many after we came back?"
"Of course this is a good thing. Looks like the King and the others have a great harvest. These are all captured ships."
"With so many captured ships, could it be that each ship is filled with treasures?"
"It's completely possible! Looks like our Black Wolf Island is going to be rich. "
These pirates were really silly and cute. Were they still dreaming? They didn't know that they were going to be captured soon.
"There are people ahead welcoming us. Haha!"
Ang Lee said with a smile.
The pirates quickly said, "It's our brothers on the island. We're in charge of controlling them."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you guys. Do it beautifully."
Ang Lee said.
Two armed clippers were the first to enter the harbor. The pirates in the harbor quickly came up to them.
"Why are you guys here? Where are the Kings?"
The pirates asked.
"The King is resting in the cabin. You guys come up together!"
A pirate on the ship said.
"The King isn't getting off the ship. He wants us to go up."
Although they were very confused, the pirates obediently boarded the ship and entered the cabin. However, they didn't see the Black Wolf King and the others. Instead, they saw the smiling Ang Lee.
"Who are they?"
The pirates were shocked.
Ang Lee said with a smile, "Let me introduce ourselves. We're soldiers. You guys have been captured."
"Soldiers. Soldiers."
The pirates were shocked. However, they had nowhere to run. They were surrounded by soldiers. They could only choose to surrender.
Then, under the lead of the pirates, Ang Lee and the others entered the hall of the Black Wolf King and captured the only remaining Green Dog.
"Are you really soldiers?"
After Green Dog was captured, he was very surprised. This happened too suddenly. He wasn't mentally prepared and was captured just like that.
"If you surrender to us, not only will you not be punished, you will also have the opportunity to perform meritorious deeds and be rewarded."
Ang Lee said.
"Okay, I surrender. I surrender. What do you want me to do?"
Green Dog had no choice but to surrender. If he didn't surrender, he would die. Green Dog obviously didn't want to die. Since he didn't want to die, he could only surrender.
