- In the end, Old Master Wang and the others followed Wang Shan and boarded the Sea King.
"On the Tulip, after Old Master Wang and the others left, the killing began.
Standing on the deck of the Sea King, Old Master Wang and the others looked back at the one-sided killing, with bursts of joy on their faces.
The killing ended quickly. In less than ten minutes, all the Dutch on the Tulip were slaughtered.
It is still very easy to use muskets and bayonets to deal with the Dutch who are having a happy transaction.
With a burst of fire and a loud explosion, the Tulip sank to the bottom of the sea.
No one knows where the Tulip went, and history will not record such a trivial matter.
In the maritime trade of the seventeenth century, too many ships perished in the sea every year.
Old Master Wang, looking at the Tulip sinking into the bottom of the sea, and looking at the expressionless guards with no fluctuating genes on their murderous faces, they were really moved.
?????????????????????????????????????Except for Liu Dashen and Old Master Wang, everyone else was assigned to other ships.
It is impossible for Zhao Hongyu to let these people get together.
Liu Dashen is the leader of these people, Wang Shan found out after some inquiries.
???????????? Master Wang, as the master, also stayed with Liu Dashen.
The King of the Sea was a big shock to Mrs. Wang.
This is simply like moving land by sea.
The Sea King sails very smoothly on the sea, no different from on land.
And its deck area is very large
Everything made Master Wang very amazed.
Because Liu Dashen was still in a coma, he was carried away for treatment early.
Old Master Wang was also taken down by the gene man to wash up, change clothes and rest.
¡°After all, they have been imprisoned for so long, and their nutrition cannot keep up, which makes them a little thin.
Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t want to have any contact with them at this time.
"Your Highness, these pirates have been rescued, what are your plans?"
After Liu Dashen and Old Master Wang were taken down. Wang Shan came to Zhao Hongyu and asked.
Wang Shan needs to have a clear understanding of His Highness¡¯s plans.
At this time, the fleet has set off again, and the three little girls Emma, ??Sarah, and Anais have returned to the captain's cabin.
Except for Emma who watched the massacre with gusto, Sarah and Anais both had pale faces.
It can be seen that Sarah and Anais are still unable to accept this.
Emma has a dislike for white people, and she grew up in an Indian tribe, and the Indian tribes often fight each other. So she has long been accustomed to this.
Therefore, she can be stronger than Sara and Anais.
For Emma, ??watching the Dutch people being slaughtered is actually similar to watching animated cartoons for children in later generations. There is no difference.
The sea breeze blows in your face, and the heat wave of the Caribbean Sea hits you.
"Of course, since we are going to the east, these pirates are still of some use. But we didn't expect that we would meet people from the Ming Dynasty here."
Zhao Hongyu did not hide his plans. He told Wang Shan clearly.
"Oh, it turns out that His Highness is making plans for the trip to the East, so this subordinate will understand." Wang Shan nodded slightly and said at the same time. "Indeed. These pirates are familiar with the situation in the Ming Dynasty and also know the situation in the southeastern sea very well. With them as guides, we don't have to be blind, right?"
Zhao Hongyu smiled and continued: "In fact, it's more than that. With them, we will become bigger and more convenient. Didn't you hear what the unlucky Dutch captain said? These pirates are Li Xiang's subordinates, and Li Xiang is really fighting with Zheng Zhilong¡¯s fierce fight shows that the waters of the Ming Dynasty were not peaceful.¡±
Wang Shan turned his head and looked at Zhao Hongyu. He didn't understand that the southeastern sea area of ????the Ming Dynasty was not peaceful, and what did this have to do with them.
Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong¡¯s fight to the death seems to have nothing to do with them at all.
Looking at Wang Shan's puzzled look, Zhao Hongyu explained: "It is precisely because the Ming Dynasty is not peaceful that we need these pirates. Think about it, these people are Li Xiang's men, etc. After arriving in the East, can we get involved with Li Xiang because of these people?"
Wang Shan thought after hearing thisAfter a while, it seemed that I could understand a little bit of what His Highness meant.
Zhao Hongyu continued: "Whether it is Li Xiang or Zheng Zhilong, they are able to operate in the southeastern waters of the Ming Dynasty, and they must be somewhat involved with some officials along the coast. There will even be some business relationships with the homes of those big bosses of the day. Exchanges, this is an intangible benefit to us."
"After all, if we want to establish some relationships with the Ming Dynasty, money alone will not be enough. But if we have people like Li Xiang to help bridge the gap, things will become much easier."
At this point, Wang Shan finally understood His Highness¡¯s intentions.
Yes, Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong have been able to operate along the southeast coast for so many years. It is impossible not to be involved with those officials.
Although the officials of the Ming Dynasty in this era prevented the emperor from carrying out maritime trade, they themselves were doing it behind the scenes and making a lot of money.
As the overlords of the sea, Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong must not cooperate.
If you want to do business at sea, these two people cannot be bypassed.
"Your Highness, has Zheng Zhilong not surrendered to the imperial court at this time?"
Wang Shan suddenly thought of this question.
Zhao Hongyu also has a rough idea of ??this period of history.
It¡¯s impossible for him to know things that are too detailed.
After all, he is not a humanoid computer.
As for the history books, the time and space trader cannot be purchased.
In addition, with his arrival, history has changed, so it is really hard to say about him.
Therefore, after hearing Wang Shan¡¯s question, Zhao Hongyu fell silent and thought for a while.
"It's hard to say, but I judge that he must have defected to the imperial court. Otherwise, Zheng Zhilong would not dare to challenge Li Xiang. If I remember correctly, Li Xiang was still the overlord of the southeastern coast at this time, and Zheng Zhilong was only just He was just taking the lead, if he hadn't surrendered to the imperial court. He, Zheng Zhilong, would never dare to mess with Li Xiang."
Zhao Hongyu expressed his judgment.
However, his judgment was a bit wrong.
This is not surprising, Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t know history very well.
??History, Zheng Zhilong did take refuge in the imperial court.
But that was more than ten years later, not now.
At that time, Zheng Zhilong had already solved Li Xiang¡¯s dominance of the sea.
He was the undisputed king of the sea along the southeast coast at that time.
It was under such circumstances that he was recruited by the imperial court as the chief military officer.
The reason why the imperial court was so generous and gave him the title of Commander-in-Chief was because of Zheng Zhilong's strength at sea.
Of course, there are some unknown things. That's why Zheng Zhilong made the big bosses of the day so miserable.
??If appropriate conditions are not given, the merchant ships of these big guys will not be able to do business at all.
???????? This point is not recorded either by the emperor or in history.
You know, history is also recorded by literati, right?
In 1622, Zheng Zhilong had no plans to recruit troops, and he was working hard with Li Xiang to compete for maritime supremacy.
It turns out that Zheng Zhilong is the leader of a small island under Li Xiang.
But he has personal ambition, after gaining a certain strength. He betrayed Li Xiang and recruited a large number of people to fight against Li Xiang.
¡°In fact, he placed Li Xiang in a commodity store in Macau at that time, allowing himself to obtain a large amount of valuable funds.
At the same time, Li Xiang suffered a lot of losses.
Because of Zheng Zhilong¡¯s physical resistance. Li Xiang's strength was greatly reduced.
Zheng Zhilong occupied the geographical advantage and blocked the trade between Li Xiang and the countries in the South China Sea.
Annam, Siam, Portugal and Spaniards.
These forces. Li Xiang was all disconnected.
¡°Nowadays, the only places where Li Xiang can trade are Japan and North Korea.
With this situation declining and the other growing, Li Xiang¡¯s strength began to shrink.
on the contrary. After monopolizing Annan, Siam, the South China Sea countries, trade rights with the Dutch and Portuguese, and sea lanes, Zheng Zhilong's strength increased greatly.
It was precisely because of seeing this situation that Li Xiang started fighting with Zheng Zhilong six months ago.
He had to do this because if he didn't fight with Zheng Zhilong, the people below would be dissatisfied.
This had a great impact on his rule.
? ?As I said, South China Sea trade and sea lanes are also very important.
I have to do this.
Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to take a chance.
Li Xiang also knows this.
"If he doesn't do this, he won't have enough funds on hand to maintain his position in a few years.
Pirates live a life of licking blood with their swords, just for money.
If Li Xiang can't bring them wealth, then you know the outcome of waiting for Li Xiang.
Although he still controls the trade rights and waterways of Japan and North Korea, he is still at a disadvantage compared to Zheng Zhilong.
In addition, the cunning Dutch and Portuguese also helped Zheng Zhilong, which put a lot of pressure on Li Xiang.
The Portuguese and the Dutch helped Zheng Zhilong, and what they did was just targeting Japan's trade rights.
Because of the existence of Li Xiang, the Dutch and Portuguese cannot trade in Japan at all.
They can only watch as a large amount of Japan's silver flows into other people's pockets.
This is something that makes them very jealous.
¡°These people came to the East for silver.
Therefore, they had an agreement with Zheng Zhilong, that is, to help Zheng Zhilong defeat Li Xiang, and after Zheng Zhilong gained control of Japan's trade, he would also give some to them.
Of course Zheng Zhilong agreed happily to this.
But whether this agreement can be fulfilled in the end, only genius knows.
For these things, it is certainly impossible for Zhao Hongyu and others, who have been paying attention to the situation in Europe from far away in America, to know clearly.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Zhao Hongyu¡¯s judgment is biased.
While Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan were chatting on the deck, Master Wang, led by the genetic soldiers, came to the cabin room arranged for him.
This is a double room with all the facilities. It has the style of a modern cabin bedroom, making it very comfortable to stay in it.
One bed was empty, but lying on the other bed was Liu Dashen, who had already been given the medicine. (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
