- The port of Amami Island suddenly became lively because of the return of Li Xiang and his brothers.
As pirates, their families would come to the port to greet their loved ones every time they returned from the sea.
To be honest, they are all very worried that they will not be able to see their former relatives every time they return.
Because this kind of thing has happened many times.
??Don¡¯t look at the pirate life described in later novels, it is always so romantic, free, or unrestrained.
In fact, the life of a pirate in reality is very cruel.
It is not like what is described in various literary works and movies and TV dramas.
After all, they are all artistically processed things. The real pirate life is not only cruel, but also very boring.
Every time you rob other merchant ships, many of your former companions will disappear.
After all, it¡¯s not like a robbed merchant ship won¡¯t resist.
Fortunately, this time Li Xiang took everyone out to sea not to rob other merchant ships or to fight Zheng Zhilong.
Therefore, the men who went to sea with Li Xiang, the big boss, returned to Amami Island safely to reunite with their families.
Therefore, when their family members saw that their relatives had returned safely, although they did not say anything, it could be seen from their faces that they were very excited.
Yes, even pirates are still human beings, and they also have relatives and affection.
"The boss, Liu Dashen and Mrs. Wang are back."
When Li Xiang heard the news, his face was full of shock.
Logically speaking, he should have been very happy after learning the news, but now he looked shocked.
Why is this?
In fact, the reason is also very simple.
Because Li Xiang knew the situation of Liu Dashen and Mrs. Wang very well.
? Almost last summer, Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong had a big battle along the southeast coast. At that time, Zheng Zhilong united the Spanish and Dutch fleets, so he defeated Li Xiang's fleet in one fell swoop.
In this naval battle, Li Xiang suffered heavy losses.
Not only the ships were lost, but many of his subordinates were also buried under the sea in this naval battle, or were captured by the other side.
??????????????Including Liu Dashen and Mrs. Wang.
????????????????? Liu Dashen and Mrs. Wang were captured in order to stay behind and allow Li Xiang and the remaining brothers to escape from the battlefield.
Li Xiang knew at that time that the outcome for Liu Dashen and Mrs. Wang would definitely not be good.
After the naval battle, Li Xiang also asked someone to inquire about Liu Dashen and Mrs. Wang.
The news that Li Xiang received was that Liu Dashen and Mrs. Wang had been captured by Zheng Zhilong and sold to the Dutch. As they were sold to the Dutch, the Dutch left the East and headed back to Europe.
????????????????? Needless to say, the fate of Mrs. Wang and Liu Dashen is no longer controllable by herself.
Whenever she thinks about this matter, Li Xiang feels very depressed.
He is very familiar with Liu Dashen and Mrs. Wang. They are all old people who have been with him for some years.
Especially Liu Dashen¡¯s father is his brother who has been living at sea since he was young.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Liu Da Scar is the person that he has watched since he was a child.
Liu Dascar's father also died in a battle because of Li Xiang.
Now that the son of an old brother has ended up like this, Li Xiang feels sorry for his dead brother when he thinks about it.
However, he never imagined that Mrs. Wang and Liu Dashen, who had been sold to the Dutch, would actually come back?
¡°Oh my god, how did they do it?
Under normal circumstances, something like this is unlikely to happen.
It really makes people curious about how they escaped from the Dutch clothes.
This shocked Li Xiang.
Could it be possible that they surrendered?
Thinking of this, Li Xiang secretly shook his head. He felt that this was unlikely.
Because even if you surrender, you should surrender to Zheng Zhilong.
But if they take this step, thenThen it would be impossible to sell it to the Dutch.
It can be seen that they did not surrender at that time.
Of course, it is also possible that Zheng Zhilong simply did not intend to accept the surrender of Li Xiang's men.
The Dutch are not easy to talk to. Liu Dashen and Mrs. Wang must have suffered a lot in their hands.
¡°And the Dutch can¡¯t be too kind to them.
But in the end, how did they leave the Dutch and return to Amami Island?
Li Xiang was really curious about this.
After the initial shock, Li Xiang came back to his senses.
Then, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
"Oh, where are they now? Come on, let me go see them. It's really unexpected. I thought I would never see them in this life. Weren't these guys sold to the Dutch? How did they escape? of?"
Li Xiang immediately walked up to Lin Zhaodi, raised her hand and put it on his armless shoulder, held his shoulder firmly and asked.
Lin Zhaodi smiled "haha" and said to Li Xiang: "Master, I don't know this question very well. So I can only find out by waiting for you, the master, to ask. And I think they will come back this time. I think I have something very important to talk to the boss."
"Oh, in that case, don't delay, take me to meet them quickly." Li Xiang quickly urged Lin Zhaodi to let him take him to meet Mrs. Wang and the others.
To say that Li Xiang is happy now is very sincere.
Because Li Xiang is now seriously short of manpower.
After so many years of confrontation with Zheng Zhilong, Li Xiang's strength has been greatly weakened.
Although Zhao Hongyu gave him nineteen warships, these warships must be manned by someone to exert their full power.
A sea-going ship without a human to control it is a waste.
What Li Xiang lacks today is capable sailors.
Because he has lost too many sailors over the years.
Originally, he was still worried about this matter, but unexpectedly, Master Wang and Liu Dascaru came back, which greatly alleviated his trouble.
You must know that Mrs. Wang and Liu Dashen have both been pirates for many years. They are very familiar with life at sea and understand ships very well.
Now that they are back, he can at least alleviate the problem of insufficient sailors.
At the same time, Master Wang and Liu Dashang and the others can also teach the young sailors to make up for his lack of capable sailors.
In short, it is a good thing for Li Xiang that Mrs. Wang and Liu Dashen are back.
Yang Biao, who was following Li Xiang, was also very shocked when he heard Lin Zhaodi talking about Master Wang and Liu Dashen.
This guy¡¯s reaction was exactly the same as that of his uncle Li Xiang.
????????????????????????????? Because the matter between Master Wang and Liu Dashen and the others is really too confusing for people to understand.
It seems like they were able to come back alive after being captured and even sold to the Dutch.
This is simply amazing.
But no matter what, it¡¯s always a good thing that former partners are still alive.
As for what problems there are, we can only talk about it later.
What they have to do now is to quickly meet Liu Dashen and Mrs. Wang, and catch up with each other by the way.
After all, in that naval battle, if Liu Dashen and Wang Fuzi hadn't left behind and entangled Zheng Zhilong and the others, it would have been impossible for Li Xiang and others to retreat.
It can be said that Li Xiang is able to survive until now, thanks to Liu Dashen and Mrs. Wang's decision to cut off the queen.
On this point, now that they are back, Li Xiang and Yang Biao have to show their respect.
Under the leadership of Lin Zhaodi, the group left the pier and started walking towards the small village in the center of the island.
On the way, Yang Biao said to Li Xiang: "Uncle, tell me how Mrs. Wang and Liu Dashen escaped. There must be something we don't know about this matter, so I asked my uncle to tell me after he saw them. You must ask someone clearly."
Li Xiang nodded at the reminder from his nephew Yang Biao.
Of course he knows this.
However, Mrs. Wang and Liu Dashen were kind to him after all, so even if Li Xiang wanted to ask clearly, he would have to find a chance to phrase it.
You know, he doesn¡¯t want his old brothers to misunderstand.
Now Li Xiang¡¯s situation is not as good as before. If there is any misunderstanding and breaks the hearts of the old brothers, Li Xiang will really be doomed.
"Okay, I know. Forget it if you said these words to me once, don't say them to others when you go." Li Xiang whispered to Yang Biao. "You also know our situation now. I don't want any misunderstanding to happen and hurt the hearts of my brothers. So I will find an opportunity to ask. You don't have to worry about this."
Hearing what his uncle said, Yang Biao understood.
The village of Amami Island is only one mile away from the pier.
So, very quickly, Li Xiang and the others walked to the entrance of the village.
The small villages on Amami Island actually look no different from the small villages in the interior.
At the entrance of the village, many children were playing and having smoke rising from many buildings in the village. The women were washing vegetables by a small freshwater stream at the entrance of the village, with happy smiles on their faces.
After all, this time, the men or brothers in the family followed Li Xiang out to sea, and all returned home safely.
So, how could everyone be unhappy?
In the distance, a building that was taller than other buildings in the village stood there. Li Xiang and the others walked straight into the village and walked towards the building.
