The Xinhua Army actually wanted to recruit peace, which surprised Cui Apu and others. Of course, if they were willing to accept the invitation, they would not have been pirates at the beginning. The Qing government had not failed to submit olive branches to them and also promised high officials and generous salaries. However, these pirates have always been used to being free and will be subject to government control.

However, Cui Apu also had to admit that Xinhua is much better than the Qing government. At least, when he was still a horse-boy under Sha Wuzai, the Manqing Navy had encircled and suppressed them many times, but they were beaten to the death of their soldiers and generals, and had to give up suppressing bandits. But now Xinhua has easily forced them to a desperate situation.

"What do you think we should do? Should we agree to the enlistment of Xinhua Kingdom?" Cui Apu looked at everyone and said.

"The master of the army cannot surrender to the government! We are pirates, and we are born to be opposed to the government. How can we accept their enlistment? On the sea, it is not that easy for the government to capture us!" The second master of the army first opposed.

"Yes, that's right! We are not the same people as the government! We are pirates, and we are born to make a living at sea!" Other pirates also responded one after another. Most people disagree with the request for recruitment in Xinhua. In their strict eyes, the government is a bullying the people, and many of them have also been wandering to the sea to be pirates because of this reason.

Military advisor Wu Ming wanted to say something, but in the end he shut up and handed over the decision to Cui Apu. As the leader, Cui Apu has a very high status in the pirate group. Often, no one else would object to the decision he made!

"Okay, I know everyone's opinions, I will consider them carefully!" Cui Apu did not make a choice immediately, but chose to be perfunctory.

After everyone dispersed, Cui Apu kept the military advisor Wu Ming. It was obvious that Wu Ming had to say something but stopped talking before. He was discovered by Cui Apu.

"Military advisor, what do you think about the recruitment of Xinhua Kingdom?" Cui Apu asked.

"I think the recruitment of Xinhua Kingdom is a good way out for us! With the strength of the Xinhua Army, in the entire Nanyang, if they make up their minds to wipe out the pirates, we have no room to survive! Xinhua Kingdom is too powerful, and we have no strength to compete with them!" Military advisor Wu Ming seemed a little depressed.

Cui Apu nodded, and he had to admit that Wu Ming was right. Compared to Xinhua, they were like an ant, and Xinhua could easily kill them! As Xinhua strengthened its control over the South China Sea, it was impossible for pirates to survive as well as before. Therefore, Cui Apu had to make a choice. His choice was directly related to the fate of the thousands of brothers.

"But you have also seen everyone's attitude just now. They don't want to be recruited by the government! Although I am the leader, I cannot go against everyone's will!" Cui Apu said. If there is another way to choose, he is certainly unwilling to accept recruitment. But if he is desperate, it is not impossible to accept recruitment from Xinhua Kingdom. Of course, this is the last choice!

"Don't you have half a month to think about it? I think everyone will figure it out when it comes!" Wu Ming said.

At this moment, less than a hundred kilometers away from Cui Apu's nest, the First and Fourth Fleet of the New China Navy gathered six 'shark-class' cruisers to surround an island less than one square kilometer. In addition, not far from the island, there are four Marines carrying the Marine Corps.

The small island in front of me is called Heisha Island, which is the nest of Heisha Pirates. Heisha Pirates are a vicious pirate group in the South China Sea, with a total of four or five hundred people. When they robbed at sea, they not only robbed property, but also killed everyone. Among the many pirates in the South China Sea, they are considered to have a bad record. The Xinhua Navy had no intention of recruiting them. After finding the location of Heisha Island, they directly sent the navy to bring the Marines to the island to wipe out all the pirates.

"Old Wei! With our six warships and a battalion of Marines, there will be no problem in capturing Heisha Island! If you want to see, even if you deal with Sha Wuzai or Cui Apu, this is enough!" On the bridge of the cruiser "Xinhua", the commander of the Fourth Fleet, Ye Feng, said. Ye Feng also came from Feiyu Island, but he was only young. After the establishment of the Fourth Fleet, because of his military achievements and his vigorous mind, he was appointed as the commander of the Fourth Fleet by Long Yufei!

"There will naturally be no problem with Heisha Island! However, Sha Wuzai and Cui Apu, His Majesty, are planning to recruit you! Those pirates have fewer lives. Many of them are good sailors at sea. If they can recruit into the navy and train, they will definitely become qualified soldiers! Of course, all this depends on whether they accept His Majesty's kindness!" said Wei Yong, commander of the First Fleet.

"Hmph! Do those guys dare to be ungrateful? Your Majesty wants to invite them, so he respects them! If they refuse, then we will flatten them!" Ye Feng said.

"Okay, let's not talk about this! Let's talk about it now. This is a warning to them!" Wei Yong said.

More than ten minutes later, six 'shark-class' cruisers began to pour shells into Black Sand Island.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sound of cannons on the sea was rumbling, as if they were thundering. The pirates on the Black Sand Island seemed to be in hell. The shells exploded on the island, flying sand and rocks, leaving behind bullet craters! Some unlucky pirates were torn into pieces by the shells.

"What's going on? How could the Xinhua Army target us? How could they know the location of Heisha Island?" The master of Heisha Island was in a state of rupture at the moment when the Xinhua Army's shells fell. Although the pirates on Heisha Island were considered relatively powerful among the many pirates in the South China Sea, compared with the Xinhua Army, that's not even a big deal! The Xinhua Army can easily destroy them!

"What should we do, the master? The artillery fire in the Xinhua Army is too fierce, and the brothers are suffering heavy casualties!" A pirate covered in blood asked the master of Heisha Island.

"How do I know what to do? Let the brothers hide it!" The boss of Heisha Island could only issue such an order.

"Boss, why don't we surrender to the official army!" another pirate suggested.

"We kill people like a lot. Will the official army accept our surrender? The Xinhua Army is not easy to mess with." The boss of Heisha Island shook his head.

However, because the Xinhua Army's shelling was too fierce, the pirates on Heisha Island were killed and injured. In the absence of any help, the boss of Heisha Island had to ask someone to raise a white flag and beg for mercy from the Xinhua Army.

As a result, the pirate holding the white flag was blown into pieces by shells falling from the sky as soon as he walked to the beach. The General Staff had already issued an order to prevent any of them from leaving any of them. Each of these guys had taken a lot of lives on their backs. Killing them was not a random killing of innocent people!

The New China Army's artillery bombardment lasted for more than half an hour. After that, the Marines rowed a boat and boarded the Black Sand Island. The Marines' landing was not blocked at all. After that, the soldiers began to alternate covers to clear the remnants of the pirates on the island.

"Bang! Bang!" A crisp gunfire sounded like fried beans. The soldiers of the Marine Corps were almost all elite soldiers in the army. In jungle combat, there was a very set of tactics. The pirates hiding in the woods were no match for the Xinhua Marine Corps, and they were shot and killed one by one!

The battle ended in less than an hour. The Xinhua Marine Corps cleared the pirates on the Black Sand Island and killed more than 300 people. The rest were blown to pieces in the previous Xinhua Army artillery bombardment. The Xinhua Marine Corps suffered very small losses, with only one soldier killed and several others injured!

In the following days, several pirate groups were wiped out by the Xinhua Army. These pirate groups were all pirates with bad records. The Xinhua Army did not hold back at all and wiped out them all. This shocked the pirates in the South China Sea. At the beginning, many pirates believed that Xinhua was just acting. They were in a tight spot during this period, so they would not go to sea for business for the time being. After the rumor of the wind passed, they would not continue to live. But now it is different. The Xinhua Army actually began to clear out one island after another. The South China Sea was full of warships of the Xinhua Navy and warships of the coast guard fleet. Although the pirates' nests were mostly hidden, the Xinhua Army's old foundation was the pirates of Feiyu Island! They were very clear about the details of many pirates. With their actions, many pirates had nowhere to hide!

The pirates in the entire South China Sea are in danger under the strong encirclement of the Xinhua Army. No one knows whether the next target of the Xinhua Army will fall on them. If the Xinhua Army kills them all like the pirates on Heisha Island, what should they do?

Cui Apu's pirate group was also shocked by the Xinhua Army's series of methods! The Xinhua Army used thunder to destroy several pirates one after another, which shows that the Xinhua Army has the determination and ability to destroy these pirates. Although the pirates are numerous, they cannot compare with the Xinhua Army in terms of equipment and morale. If they continue to resist stubbornly, there will definitely be no good end! Some people who originally firmly opposed accepting the recruitment of Xinhua Kingdom have also begun to change their attitudes! (To be continued...)
