Half a day later, Xu Ding still hadn't removed the roadblocks and soldiers.
On the contrary, the manpower was strengthened, so that the pirates in the city could not leave the city at all.
The pirates outside the port were also a little anxious. They didn't know the situation in the city. If they were delayed, no one could guarantee whether Xu Ding would directly eat their people and swallow the money that should have been obtained.
The city of Naples is a big coastal city, and there are many rich people in it, and there is also the emperor's summer palace.
So someone suggested: "Why don't you talk to that Alexander Qin, if you can really let our people out, maybe you can give him some boats?"
Someone immediately agreed with this proposal: "I think it's okay. We can keep the big boats for ourselves and give him some small boats. Anyway, we don't have enough manpower, so we can't take all the boats away."
"Okay, talk to him, but he has to make sure that no one touches us, and he doesn't take our money."
Soon a ship docked and contacted Mengdu, and Mengdu sent someone to inform Xu Ding.
Xu Ding said to Thoros, "What do you think of this?"
Soros said: "Commander, they must be afraid that we will encircle their people in the city and swallow their money, so they became anxious and wanted to talk to us.
But at this point, I'm afraid we won't be able to take advantage of it. They will definitely take the big boat away and leave the small boat for us. "
Xu Ding said: "You are right, we are still passive when talking to them at this time, so you are responsible for this matter, I don't want all their big ships, but at least half of them, and you tell them, I can not only talk to them about this You can also talk about other things, such as we will capture more cities all the way east.
Money is of no use to us. If they are interested, we can make a deal. If they can send us eastward to Achaia and Sparta, I will pay the full amount of money. I think it will be a good thing. Very pleasant cooperation. "
Soros was a little puzzled. Didn't he mean to go north to Macedonia?
Why do you suddenly want to cross to the east to fight the city of Sparta in the province of Achaia?
This gap is a little far.
But Xu Ding had Xu Ding's intentions, so he had no choice but to take orders to negotiate with the pirates outside the port.
In the end, Soros brought back the news Xu Ding wanted, and the pirates agreed.
They will give half of the boat to Xu Ding and the others, but they will have to pay them [-] gold coins and [-] silver coins.
"Okay! Just follow this, everyone must first establish a preliminary trust before we can proceed with the next cooperation." After listening to Soros' report, Xu Ding agreed immediately.
Soon Soros took people to take over the ship, Mengdu also let the pirates go and gave the money.
The two sides cooperated happily, agreed on a secret sign and found a meeting place, and then the pirates disappeared into the sunset.
"Will the commander of these pirates keep their promises?" Seeing the pirates' ship leaving, Money asked worriedly.
Others are also skeptical.
In front of them, there were people with money in the city, and these pirates had to give in. Now that they have no restrictions, it may be difficult for them to cooperate honestly.
Xu Ding smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, what we want is the support of the ship and not the pirates, we don't need to think too much about whether they keep their promises, just be ourselves, take a rest tonight, and we will leave tomorrow.
When the time comes, I will tell you a story about Spartacus and pirates. "
The story of Spartacus and pirates?
Did anything special happen to the two?
Everyone was looking forward to it for a while.
Especially Soros, who was a pirate.
With the boat, Soros was even more busy. He used all the money promised to support him and moved to the street. silver coins, and thereafter no less than forty silver coins per month."
The high settling allowance and monthly payment shocked the people of Naples for a while.
With a heavy reward, there must be a brave man, which made the people in the city have a little fear of Xu Ding and other rebels who dared to take down the city of Naples, which was quickly replaced by money.
After all, the promised rebel army is not allowed to engage in adultery and plunder, and is not prepared to commit suicide and harm ordinary people without authorization.
Moreover, the people who raised serious crimes from the prison were directly killed, and some corrupt officials in the local area were also ruthlessly clicked by Xu Ding.
After this series of measures, the word-of-mouth of the rebel army has been widely spread.
Only then did the people in Naples know that this was a special force.
They were dissatisfied with the Roman government, with the Senate, with the government that oppressed them.
Naturally, he became less wary, and felt a little sympathetic to the rebels.
Of course, there were still some people in the rebel army who couldn't control their belts and temper, and still did some illegal things. Xu Ding didn't condone this, and they should be killed and punished.
Military discipline has always been his top priority in building an army.
Whether a large army has combat effectiveness, army discipline is very important.
So with these positive and negative examples, Xu Ding's recruitment work went much smoother.
Soros immediately recruited a navy team of four to 500 people, and the team expanded several times.
The other four centurions under Xu Ding's name also expanded, and many poor families from the local area joined.
The ones that are less have doubled the army, and the ones that have more have tripled.
The entire uprising army exceeded 500 people.
Xu Ding was not polite, and promoted five centurions to captains, and a new centurion was established under each team.
So he had five captains and fifteen centurions.
The number and equipment of each team are also arranged more reasonably, divided into water army, cavalry, archer, shield, sword, and spear.
Except for Soros who alone controls the Navy Department, the Cavalry Department only obeys Xu Ding's command.
The other four captains also control a branch under their names.
For example, Meng controls the bow department, Mengdu controls the shield department, Currency controls the spear department, and Vila Toli controls the sword department.
Such subdivision and refinement can give full play to the advantages of the rebel army in the shortest possible time to gather combat effectiveness.
After all, a collocation like the Roman Legion requires regular running-in and training to form a coordinated and powerful combat effectiveness.
…………
In the city of Rome, in the Executive Yuan, the members of the Senate and the generals of the emperor had a quarrel.
Severus hated this endless and meaningless quarrel very much, and said coldly: "I have sent a legion to search for traces of the rebels, I believe they will be found, and the imperial army will smash them.
Compared with the inconspicuous rebels, I think we should devote more energy to dealing with the rebellion in the west. The British Governor Albinus is even more damned. Our powerful army needs food and grass. Done properly, don't delay the real suppression of bandits and chaos. "
