- People like Liu Da Scar were originally subordinate to Li Xiang in the southeastern sea area of ??the Ming Dynasty.
Last winter, in order to compete for maritime hegemony, Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong had a tragic naval battle between Taiwan and Japan in the southeastern waters.
In this naval battle, both sides gathered the participation of Japan, the Netherlands and the Portuguese, and the battle between the troops was endless.
In the end, it ended with Li Xiang¡¯s failure.
Although Li Xiang lost in this naval battle, his vitality was not damaged.
Therefore, Zheng Zhilong could not expand his results, but it only made him famous.
Besides, the reason why Zheng Zhilong was able to win the naval battle was with the help of the Portuguese and the Dutch.
In this naval battle, Li Xiang lost a lot of men.
Some of them became prisoners of the Dutch and Portuguese.
People like Liu Da Scar and others are some of these prisoners.
However, most of the prisoners were killed or sold to other places for hard labor.
"Only people like Liu Dashen were lucky, because the Dutch captain planned to sell them to America, so he spared their lives.
If it weren¡¯t for this, they wouldn¡¯t be alive today.
You must know that even if they are sold into hard labor, their fate will not be any better.
Once you enter a small coal mine, you will still be dead within half a year.
In fact, the captain of the Tulip also wanted to take a gamble. After all, people like Liu Dashen and others looked similar to the people of the Song Empire. If the operation was good, they might be able to sell it for a high price.
Of course, if you lose money, at worst, you will never do it again.
After listening to the captain of the Tulip, Zhao Hongyu narrowed his eyes.
When the captain saw Zhao Hongyu on the opposite side fell silent, a flash of light flashed through his half-closed eyes, which made him very uneasy.
Because he doesn't know. What could this young man who looked like a great nobleman of the Song Empire say in the next moment?
¡°If this was a kill order, I would definitely die here.
"What price do you plan to sell it for?"
In the midst of panic, Zhao Hongyu finally spoke.
The captain of the Tulip was overjoyed, because he could tell from Zhao Hongyu's words that this great nobleman of the Song Empire obviously wanted to buy these pirate captives from the Ming Dynasty.
"Twenty livres, or Spanish gold coins. Of course, you can also pay in other currencies."
asshole! Are these people worth the money? Those strong black slaves in Africa only cost a dozen silver coins. How dare you sell these guys for twenty gold coins? Do you know who the person in front of you is!
Without waiting for Zhao Hongyu to speak. Wang Shan scolded the greedy captain of the Tulip.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, please calm down your anger and resentment. I did not raise the price randomly.", the captain of the Tulip quickly explained. "You know the distance between the East and the Caribbean, and in order to ensure that these people will not die at sea, we also spent a lot of water and food"
This guy is telling the truth.
¡°As prisoners, these pirates of the Ming Dynasty were not dead even if they came from the east or to the Caribbean. It can be seen that the captain has taken care of them very 'finely'.
If this happened to other people, they would have died at sea long ago.
These pirates are actually of some use to Zhao Hongyu. If nothing else, they are from the southeastern waters of the Daimyo, so they should know the situation there very well.
It¡¯s pretty good to think about.
Moreover. Even though they are pirates, they still have the blood of China flowing through them.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu, who is also of Chinese ethnicity, should save them once.
And there are these people. When I go to the east, I won't have a black eye.
And because of their existence, he can still have a relationship with the big pirate leader Li Xiang.
Since Li Xiang is the pirate leader. I think he must have a lot of connections in the Ming Dynasty.
"If we can cooperate with Li Xiang, maybe it will be easier to buy the refugees from the Ming Dynasty, but that's not necessarily the case.
Of course, if you cooperate with Li Xiang, you will definitely offend another force.
That is the rising Zheng Zhilong side.
Zhao Hongyu didn't take Zheng Zhilong to heart.
Although a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake, he will not be afraid of Zheng Zhilong either.
With more than seventy battleships placed there, no one can easily bully them.
¡°Besides, I am not permanently stationed in the Ming Dynasty, so there will not be much conflict of interest with Zheng Zhilong.
Unless Zheng Zhilong gets impatient and provokes him, then Zhao Hongyu doesn't mind solving Zheng Zhilong's trouble.
At this moment, Zhao Hongyu will definitely save those pirates of the Ming Dynasty.
As for giving money or something, Zhao Hongyu has never thought about it.
There is no more Dutch power in the Caribbean.
The captain of the Tulip obviously doesn¡¯t know about this yet.
¡°I can afford twenty gold coins, but Zhao Hongyu is not willing to give it.
With a wink, Wang Shan walked up to Zhao Hongyu knowingly.
Zhao Hongyu whispered something in Wang Shan¡¯s ear: ¡°Get out all the pirates from the Ming Dynasty and deal with these Dutch. We don¡¯t need to keep this battleship, let them die here.¡±
Wang Shan nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, with waves of sinister smiles appearing on his face.
When he straightened up and turned around, the gloomy look on his face completely disappeared, replaced by a face as warm as the spring breeze.
"Okay! Just twenty gold coins, we bought it. How many prisoners do you have here?"
Wang Shan walked over with a smile, stood in front of the captain of the Tulip and asked.
At the same time, Wang Shan put his hands behind his back and made a very inconspicuous gesture.
However, the captains of the genetic soldiers behind him dispersed knowingly.
When he heard that the captives he had traveled thousands of miles to bring could finally be sold, the captain smiled brightly.
"A total of one hundred and fifty-seven people!"
Wang Shan nodded: "Bring them all here, we will hand over here."
Of course, the captain will not object to the handover here.
Under his leadership, a group of pirates supported each other and finally arrived on the deck.
These pirates are all naked. They were full of stench, their steps were sluggish, and their faces were all stained.
It can be seen that the impact is absolutely negative.
Liu Dashen was also put down on the pole. Although he had passed out and was close to death, Wang Shan had no intention of not saving him.
???????????????? As for whether he lives or dies, it depends on Liu Dashen himself.
When Old Master Wang and the others were brought to the deck, they were already a little uncomfortable with the brightness of the day because they had been in the dark cabin for a long time.
Who are these people? Although their clothes are weird, they also have black hair and black eyes.
Old Master Wang was the first person to see clearly what was going on around him. At that moment, waves of doubts arose in his mind.
Judging from the surrounding situation, these red-haired ghosts are obviously at a disadvantage.
Because the red-haired ghosts on this ship were surrounded by some genetic soldiers holding muskets and bayonets in a corner.
My God, what kind of ship is this!
After looking at the surrounding environment, Old Master Wang saw the Sea King.
The tall ship has a densely packed cannon muzzle.
I originally thought that the red-haired ghost's warships were already very powerful, but what I didn't expect was that there were actually warships that were even sharper than the red-haired ghost.
Nowadays, the pirate warships of the Ming Dynasty only have seven or eight cannons on each ship. This is already very powerful.
Usually, most of the time, the number of cannons on a pirate ship is only one or two.
After all, artillery is easy to get.
The Portuguese and the Dutch. Weapons like cannons are generally not easily sold.
Therefore, although the pirates in the southeastern waters of the Ming Dynasty owned a large number of large, medium and small ships, they did not have many artillery pieces.
Most naval battles. The only ones that are roasted are melee combat and boarding combat.
"A warship with a large number of cannons like the Song Empire is already a giant beast in Wang's eyes.
No, not a giant beast. That's monster level.
"Old man, please come with me. Our master has already bought you all."
Just as Old Master Wang was staringWhen he was speechless, a Chinese language that sounded awkward and strange to him sounded in front of him.
Yes, there is nothing wrong with these Wang Shan speaking Mandarin, but this Mandarin is the language of later generations.
Although Chinese is also spoken in this era, it is very different from Mandarin.
It is precisely for this reason that Master Wang sounds a little weird and awkward.
¡°But regardless of whether it¡¯s weird or awkward, people like Master Wang can understand it.
Hearing that they had been sold by the red-haired ghost, Master Wang and other mortals could not help but feel a little distorted on their faces.
Although it is mixed with uneasiness and fear, it is mostly anger.
"The people of the Yangtang Kingdom are actually being trafficked by some foreign countries. This is simply a great shame and humiliation."
Even though they are all pirates, in his heart he considers himself a citizen of the heaven.
"Old man, don't talk. If you want to live, follow me."
Wang Shan saw that the pirates in front of him were silent and did not move, so he continued to speak to them.
"Master Wang, where are these people from? I can't tell where they are. We are considered to be experienced people on the southeast coast, but why can't these people tell their origins?"
The person next to Old Master Wang whispered.
"May I ask who you honor me as?"
"We are the fleet of the American Song Empire. It is my Highness who bought you. He is just trying to pull you because we are both of Chinese blood. Please don't be ungrateful."
Seeing through what these people were worried about, Wang Shan also revealed a little bit of information to them.
Old Master Wang looked stunned. (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
