Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- The sea-going ship under our feet has a total of 108 artillery pieces, and its range is more than that of the Red-haired Ghost artillery.
What!
When Liu Dashen heard what Old Master Wang said, a look of shock suddenly appeared on his face.
As a qualified pirate, he really knows the meaning of Old Master Wang's words.
He knew very well how powerful a sea-going ship with 108 guns was.
After all, although he is only in his early twenties, he is still an old pirate, right?
What¡¯s more, he has also played against or cooperated with the Dutch and Spanish.
And this time, they were defeated by the Spaniards and the Dutch in the battle with Zheng Zhilong, and then they became prisoners on his ship.
Therefore, he knows very well what the 108 artillery pieces represent.
"Besides, Old Master Wang said that the range of these artillery is more than double the range of those white-skinned artillery.
Although he didn¡¯t understand what the long range of artillery meant, he knew that it was very beneficial to naval battles.
This is like two parties fighting, one side has a long range of bows and arrows, but the other side has a weak range of bows and arrows, then it must be a big deal that the side with a long range of bows and arrows has an advantage.
"I really can't believe that these Zhao and Song survivors actually own such powerful ships."
Liu Da Scar opened his mouth, and finally said this sentence.
Old Master Wang had already anticipated Liu Dashen's reaction.
When I first knew this, my reaction was not much better than that of Liu Dashen.
"These things have little to do with us. Do you know where we are now?"
Old Master Wang said to him while supporting Liu Dashen and walking around on the deck.
Faced with Old Master Wang¡¯s question, Liu Dashen really had no way to answer.
When they were locked together in the Dutchman's cabin, there was no way of knowing where they were.
¡°If Liu Dashen really wanted to answer, he could only say he didn¡¯t know.
¡°We are now in the middle of America, in a place called the Caribbean.¡±
Old Master Wang replied.
Liu Dashen looked confused. He really didn't know where this place was.
In his impression, he only knew Annan, Siam, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and other places, as well as the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty.
¡°As for whether there is a Caribbean Sea in America, he is really at a loss.
"Actually, I don't know where America is. I also found out from the sergeant on Zhao Song's ship. But I heard from them that this place is far away from our Ming Dynasty. After all, we were imprisoned on the Dutch ship. There are also It¡¯s been five or six months, hasn¡¯t it?¡±
Although they were all imprisoned on the Dutch ship, Mrs. Wang and the others had been counting the days.
Therefore, they still know about the time they spent on the ship.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Oh my God!
So the Dutch detained us on the ship for half a year and took us to America far away from the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Dashen¡¯s heart trembled.
To be honest, the people of the Ming Dynasty in this era generally really don¡¯t want to abandon their families and careers.
Even if they are pirates, most of them hang around near the Ming Dynasty.
When they get old, they will use their connections to return to the Ming Dynasty and become small landowners or rich people.
Generally speaking. It would not be easy to leave the Ming Dynasty.
Possibly, this is related to some concepts deep in the Chinese people¡¯s bones.
Now Liu Dashen heard from Master Wang that they were far away from the Ming Dynasty, so Liu Dashen, who was not good at it, looked ugly.
Think about it. He now thinks that he may not return to the Ming Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, after seeing Liu Das scarred face, Old Master Wang continued: "If you really can't go back. Maybe you have some possibility with Miss Chen from before."
When Old Master Wang said this, Liu Dascar¡¯s eyes lit up.
It can be seen that he was tempted by Old Master Wang.
yes. He, Liu Dashen, is a single man without a father or a mother. Now that he has come here, it doesn't matter if he can't go back.
"Besides, the people here are all descendants of the Zhao Song Dynasty, and they are all of Yanhuang blood.
There is no language barrier.
It¡¯s not impossible to stay here.
At worst, I could just be a door-to-door son-in-law.
"And being a pirate is precarious, but now that you have the opportunity to be an ordinary person, there is nothing wrong with it.
A wife and children are on the hot bed, isn¡¯t that what you want in life?
¡°Besides, I am still so young and full of courage.
When the time comes, I will find an opportunity to see if I can join the army of the Zhao and Song Empire to learn about my background.
When the time comes, Ms. Chen will definitely accept herself.
The more Liu Dashen thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and his current discouragement had long been gone.
This is also because he is young and heartless.
Seeing Liu Dashen¡¯s reaction, Old Master Wang secretly laughed secretly.
"However, I guess it will be difficult for you to stay, because I heard Sergeant Zhao Song say that they are going to our Ming Dynasty to do trade."
¡°Oh my god, Master Wang, can you stop talking paragraph by paragraph? Can¡¯t you finish it in one breath?
Just when he was thinking about good things, Liu Dashen suffered another ruthless little blow.
He rolled his eyes, looking helpless towards Old Master Wang.
"Is Zhao Song going to do trade with the Ming Dynasty?"
Liu Dascar murmured in a low voice.
Mr. Wang nodded: "Yes, I heard that the state affairs in Zhao and Song Dynasties have just stabilized. Now they want to develop people's livelihood and prepare to return to the east to worship their ancestors. After all, their roots are still there. Not at all."
"And they also know from me that the Zhu Ming court is now built over there." When Old Master Wang talked about this issue, he had a strange expression on his face.
I really don¡¯t know what kind of turmoil it will cause if Zhao Song¡¯s people go to the Ming Dynasty.
Old Master Wang originally had this question in mind.
But it¡¯s not surprising that the Zhao and Song dynasties were much nobler than the Zhu Ming dynasty. Although they were defeated by the Mongols, their legitimacy was not low.
And they also re-continued the Zhao and Song regime thousands of miles away and established a powerful navy.
? ? What if we returned to the East? What would the people of the Ming Dynasty think?
??Maybe people will think that the Zhao and Song Dynasties are coming back.
It was precisely because of this question that the expression on Master Wang¡¯s face was so wonderful.
"How could the people of Zhao and Song think of going back at this time? It has been hundreds of years. If they really had the intention to go back, they should have gone back long ago, right?"
Liu Dashen is a relatively down-to-earth person, so he can't hide his words in his heart.
He also thought about this question, so he asked it.
This question is what Master Wang is more curious about.
However, before he told Liu Da Scar, Master Wang had already asked the genetic soldiers on the Sea King.
For such a problem, the genetic people on the Sea King and even other battleships. The caliber has already been unified.
The reason is: they have lived an unstable life in the Americas for hundreds of years, and there are countless small countries here. After the Zhao and Song dynasties took root here, they have been at war with these countries, so they have no time to care about the affairs of their ancestral land.
Now in these years, those small countries have been pacified by the Zhao and Song Empire, and the Zhao and Song Empire is the only one in America.
At the same time, we also defeated European countries, so we decided to go back and have a look.
Of course, I just went back and took a look. Remember your ancestors or something.
By the way, it would be better if we could do trade.
The Zhao and Song Empire also learned about the current situation in the East from those white-skinned people.
For the establishment of the Zhu Ming Dynasty. It is also very clear.
As descendants of the same clan and race, the Zhao and Song Empire believed that everyone should communicate with each other.
??And the genetic soldier also revealed that the Zhao Song Empire was rich, very rich.
It¡¯s good to have money!
What the Ming Dynasty lacks most now is money.
Worshiping ancestors. Trade, these two reasons are quite reasonable.
"The Zhao and Song Empire now has a larger territory than the Ming Dynasty, so there is no need to have any ill intentions towards the Ming Dynasty.
Intentionally or unintentionally. Gene Man also showed Master Wang a map of the world, letting them know the territory of the Ming Dynasty and the Zhao and Song Empire, and he immediately stunned Master Wang.
To be honest, Master Wang only realized what the world is like after seeing the map.Big.
And besides the Ming Dynasty and the surrounding countries, there are so many countries in the world.
Europeans, that is, the Westerners in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the Arabs, the Kunlun slaves in Africa, etc.
Mrs. Wang¡¯s eyes were opened.
?????????? Later, Master Wang told Liu Dashen what he had seen, as well as the information that was deliberately revealed to him from the genetic soldiers.
"So, they want to do business and go home to worship their ancestors."
Liu Dashen and Mrs. Wang came to the side of the boat, leaned on the guardrail and blew in the sea breeze and continued.
Mrs. Wang nodded: "Is it possible that these people still want to start a war with the Ming Dynasty?"
Liu Dashen thought about it and felt that this matter was indeed unreliable, or he might have thought too much.
" Moreover, this issue is not something that I need to consider or worry about. After all, this issue should be a headache for the Gonggun princes in the court.
"Are your ships like Zhao and Song strong?"
Mrs. Wang turned her head and glanced at the nearby battleships.
Liu Da Scar nodded: "Look at his soldiers, they are all tigers, and his ships are sharp and unstoppable."
Master Wang also said: "If he had evil intentions, how could he just send such a large number of ships to the Ming Dynasty?"
He made it clear that if Zhao Song wanted to counterattack the Ming Dynasty, he would not send so few warships.
Zhao Hongyu only has seventy-two warships under his command during this trip.
Since they are the descendants of Zhao and Song, of course they will know from their ancestors that it is impossible to capture Dongfang with these warships alone.
So, it can be seen that they really want to go back to worship their ancestors and do business with the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, when Mrs. Wang was chatting with the genetic soldiers on the ship in the past few days, she also learned from the genetic soldiers that these people of Zhao and Song had become accustomed to living here and did not want to return to the east. .
After all, they have been living here for hundreds of years.
The main reason why we are going to the East now is that the royal family wants to go back to worship their ancestors.
And they heard that there are frequent natural disasters in the Ming Dynasty, causing people to live in dire straits.
Therefore, as a descendant of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, for the sake of everyone being Han, just go and give the Zhu family a hand.
" Many soldiers have said this to Mrs. Wang.
¡°Let¡¯s not think about this matter anymore. It¡¯s useless to think about it. Just worry about it.¡±
At the end, Master Wang said something to Liu Dashen.
Liu Dashen agreed very much with Master Wang¡¯s words.
"Yes, why do they bother to worry about this?"
"Since these people from Zhao and Song are heading to the East, we will have the opportunity to go back. But I don't know what your plans are now, Leader Liu. Will you continue to serve under Duke Li after you go back?"
Master Wang asked.
Yes, since people like Zhao Song are going to the east, now that they have been rescued, they can go back together.
But after going back, will they continue to be pirates?
The other brothers would probably do this, but Master Wang had other ideas.
No one else, because the sergeant of Zhao Song also told Mrs. Wang some domestic affairs of Zhao Song.
The fields!
Yes, in the Song Empire, anyone with Chinese blood can get a large piece of land and become a landlord.
At the same time, you can also buy some Kunlun slaves there to farm the land, so you don¡¯t have to worry about insufficient manpower.
This is still very attractive to Mrs. Wang.
Even though he is a pirate, his thirst for land is also very great.
¡°And he is getting older every year. How long can he continue to be a pirate?
After all, this is a precarious profession.
¡° Take this time as an example, if it weren¡¯t for their good luck, the Dutch would have sold them at a good price.
They would have been killed by the Dutch and thrown into the sea.
For the defeated pirate captives, this is the only fate.
Therefore, after experiencing this incident, Master Wang has taken a dim view of many things.
Even if he plans to return to the shore of Ming Dynasty now, it is not safe to just bribe some officials to get a document.
When the time comes, you will inevitably be threatened by others.Money helps eliminate disasters.
Therefore, it is not very realistic to return to Daming for retirement.
Now, another door suddenly opened in front of Master Wang.
It gave him one more choice.
The Zhao and Song Empire, which is of the same clan and species, seems to be pretty good too.
As long as you join the empire, you can be allocated one hundred acres of land.
Although these one hundred acres of land cannot be bought and sold casually, if it is managed well, this land is enough for future generations to have no worries.
Mrs. Wang is different from Liu Dashen. In the Ming Dynasty, he still has an old wife, two daughters and a son.
Therefore, he had to think about his wife and children.
People, you can only think clearly between life and death.
This time, Mrs. Wang has thought clearly.
"Master Wang, what do you mean?"
Liu Dashen heard a little bit of other meanings from Master Wang's words.
"I plan to follow Zhao Song's ship back to Daming, and then pick up my wife and children."
Mrs. Wang¡¯s next words made Liu Dashen stunned.
"Oh my God, Master, isn't this a demonic obstacle? Zhao Song doesn't know what's going on, so he made such a decision. Isn't this a demonic obstacle?"
Liu Dashen thought so in his heart. (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
