- "The Dutch bought us from Zheng Zhilong. They originally planned to take us back to Europe to be sold or used as slaves. But they changed their minds halfway and finally took us to the American continent."
Mrs. Wang told Li Xiang their experiences bit by bit, and one point caught Li Xiang's attention.
That¡¯s because Master Wang mentioned a word he had heard called ¡®America¡¯.
However, Li Xiang did not interrupt Master Wang, but listened quietly.
"At that time, Liu Dascara was hung on a pole by the Dutch for three days because he resisted the Dutch. The vicious sun had already cost Liu Dascara half of his life. At that time, we all thought that he could no longer survive. ."
Mrs. Wang mentioned the situation that Liu Dashen suffered at that time, which attracted Li Xiang and the others to look at him.
As pirates who make a living at sea all year round, they know very well how powerful the sunshine on the sea is.
Especially after being exposed to the sun for three days, everyone knows exactly what he will look like.
Therefore, Li Xiang and the others looked at Liu Dascar with eyes full of sympathy.
Yes, Liu Da Scar is still alive now. I have to say that this boy has a tough life.
You know, when Li Xiang was young, he also dealt with prisoners and those who opposed him in this way.
Those people¡¯s luck is not as good as that of Liu Dashen.
Basically, no one who has been tortured like this by Li Xiang can survive.
"Master is right. At that time, I thought I was going to be doomed."
Facing everyone¡¯s gaze, Liu Dashen nodded and admitted this.
Mr. Wang continued: "Just when we were desperate, the Dutch encountered the fleet of the American Song Empire. At that time, the Song Empire was going to war against the Dutch. I heard that they were attacking all the Dutch cities in America. ." When he said this, Mrs. Wang's face shone with luster, which made Li Xiang wonder.
"The Dutch who transported us didn't know the news yet, but even if they knew it at the time, it was of no use. Because the Song Empire's fleet was very large at that time, and the Dutch who transported us only had one sea ship.", mentioned This incident showed a look of gloating on Master Wang's face, which made Li Xiang a little amused.
"Those Dutch told the people of the Song Empire in America that they were taking some slaves to the cities under the Song Empire in America for sale, and finally let the people of the Song Empire know about our existence." Mr. Wang's eloquence is pretty good. Li Xiang and the others were very fascinated by what they heard. "When the people of the Song Empire knew that we were slaves from the East, they immediately killed all the Dutch and threw them into the sea, and then rescued us."
"In the end, the people of the Song Empire used a medical technique that we had never seen before and saved Liu Dashen. This is what we have experienced this year."
As soon as Mrs. Wang finished speaking, Li Xiang said, "I heard you say that it was those people from the Song Empire who saved you?"
Mrs. Wang nodded: "Yes, we were rescued by people from the Song Empire. And we also joined the Song Empire's household registration and have become subjects of the Song Empire."
Mrs. Wang admitted this and also broke a shocking news.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
He actually joined the Song Empire and became a subject of the Song Empire.
But, now that they have joined the Song Empire and become its subjects, what are they going to do back?
Li Xiang was confused for a moment.
"Old Wang, you said that you have joined the Song Empire's household registration? Have you become subjects under its rule?"
Facing Li Xiang's inquiry, Master Wang nodded: "It's not just me, Liu Dashen and others are like this. Boss, after we experienced this time, we have taken many things lightly. We Being a pirate is not a long-term solution at all. In the end, we still have to be good citizens, after all, we are just raising families."
Li Xiang didn¡¯t want to say anything about Master Wang¡¯s choice.
After all, this is their choice, and Li Xiang can only respect it.
What¡¯s more, Mrs. Wang and the others have saved themselves and the big guys.
Therefore, it is impossible for Li Xiang to say anything about this.
"Brothers, I, as the eldest brother, can of course be happy for you to find a good home. But do you really think the Song Empire is a good choice?"
Li Xiang was very curious about this.
"Uncle, you don't know. After entering the Song Empire's household registration, they were in the sameA place called Jinshan will give a family 200 acres of fertile land. Mr. Wang and I have already seen it. Those are excellent fertile fields. "
What!
After entering Zhao Song¡¯s household registration, the family was actually given 200 acres of high-quality farmland? !
This shocked Li Xiang.
Although Li Xiang¡¯s family wealth is definitely more than 200 acres of fertile land, when he heard what Liu Dashen said, he still felt his heart beat faster.
"We have already divided the land, but we just don't have enough manpower. So we begged the American crown prince to take us back. The master plans to take out the family members in Mingdi, and then buy some refugees to go back and become landlords. And I also plan to come back with the money I left behind, and go to Mingdi to buy some refugees to help me farm the land. Those are high-quality fertile fields, and the land is very fertile. It would be really distressing if it was left uncultivated. "
"You will get two hundred acres for joining the household registration? Anyone can do it?"
Lin Zhaodi, who was beside Li Xiang, asked at this time.
Mrs. Wang nodded: "Yes, as long as we get the household registration, we will give away 200 acres of land. But after we get the household registration, we can only be good citizens, and we cannot continue to do what we have done in the past. If we are guilty of committing crimes, If so, then they will punish us no matter what they dare to do." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Wang looked at Lin Zhaodi and said, "Why, Brother Lin is interested in naturalizing?"
To be honest, Lin Zhaodi was indeed a little moved.
Although he is Li Xiang¡¯s direct confidant, he has not saved much money over the years.
And now he has lost an arm, so he has been having a headache about what he should do.
At the same time, he himself is getting older, and he has an old wife and a grown-up son at home.
Although he may think he is a pirate, in fact, in his heart, he does not want his son to follow his own path.
¡°Just look at his current situation and you will know that this path is not a good one at all.
God knows when his son will die at sea, and his family now only has one Miao Miao, so Lin Zhaodi can't help but not worry about it.
If he had a choice, Lin Zhaodi thought it would be a good idea for his son to leave here with Master Wang and the others, and register as Zhao Song and go to America to become a landlord.
¡°At least, my son finally has a way out.
Although he hasn¡¯t saved much money over the years, he can still buy some refugees from Daming.
"Well, I'm a little excited."
Lin Zhaodi is a bastard. He doesn't care what Li Xiang thinks after he responds like this.
"You, the boss, don't know that there is something that a boss shouldn't say."
Mrs. Wang looked at Li Xiang seriously at this time and asked.
Mrs. Wang¡¯s words have already made Li Xiang think about it.
Now that he heard Master Wang¡¯s question, he immediately understood Master Wang¡¯s plan.
It seems that Mrs. Wang and Liu Dashen have other plans when they come back this time.
However, Li Xiang looked at Master Wang calmly and said, "We are all brothers. What are we hiding? Just ask."
As he said this, Li Xiang sighed in his heart.
Since he had already guessed the purpose of Mrs. Wang and Liu Dashang and the others, and heard that they had told him that he was now registered as a registered resident of Zhao and Song, it was not clear that they no longer planned to continue being pirates. .
However, even if he knew it, Li Xiang couldn't change anything.
After all, if the brothers can find a way out, he, as the eldest brother, also wants to make them happy.
Li Xiang also understands very well that there is no future in being a pirate.
Especially now that he has begun to feel lonely, he understands Master Wang and Liu Dashen very well.
As a former big brother, he felt that Master Wang and Liu Dashen made the right choice.
He is the kind of person with a small belly, so he is very sincerely happy that his brothers can have a good home.
However, what he wants to know now is why Master Wang and Liu Dashen came to see him.
Seeing that Mrs. Wang was about to get down to business, Liu Dashen sat there quietly and began to constantly look at Li Xiang's reaction.
He was sweating in his heart, fearing that Li Xiang would do something detrimental to them.
Of course, these are all Liu Dashen¡¯s random worries. Master Wang will not have this worry, because he knows Li Xiang very well and knows that Li Xiang is not the kind of person who has no intention.?? people.
"My boss, your situation is not good now. As an old brother, I think you should find a way out for yourself and all your brothers."
Li Xiang was not surprised that Mrs. Wang would say these words.
Because after what Master Wang said just now, Li Xiang guessed what Master Wang was going to say to her.
"Old Wang, you may not know much about the current situation. Our current environment is even worse than a year ago. The Ming Dynasty has given up on us, so what retreat do I have?"
Li Xiang is now beginning to pretend to be confused, pretending to understand.
"However, Master Wang did not expose this point.
"Hmph, the boss is pretending to be confused with me. With his intelligence, can he really not understand what I am saying?"
impossible things.
However, since Li Xiang is pretending to be confused, it would be better for him to speak more clearly.
Mrs. Wang was not angry.
"Master, you are getting older, and many of the old brothers are also getting older. Is it possible that we all really want to be pirates for the rest of our lives? Even if we can be pirates for the rest of our lives, our family always has to choose something else. Let's go our own way, being a pirate always has a bad reputation, if possible, think about it for the sake of the children."
Mrs. Wang¡¯s words made Yang Biao and Lin Zhaodi¡¯s eyes flicker. They were both fathers.
Therefore, Master Wang¡¯s words really entered his heart.
"Don't talk about the two of them, Li Xiang is not like this.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? but they also want their children not to be like themselves, but to study and get ahead.
It¡¯s just that their current identities are pirates, and the environment they live in means that their children cannot grow up as they imagined.
This is also a very frustrating thing.
"Alas!" Li Xiang sighed after being silent for a long time.
"Lao Wang, no one wants their children and grandchildren to take this road, but what choice do we have? Many times you can't control these, because these are God's arrangements."
Li Xiang¡¯s face looked very sad.
"You can't say that. There is an opportunity right now. If the boss seizes it, then everyone can become a good citizen again and let their children and grandchildren study. Maybe they can really get ahead in the future."
Mrs. Wang interrupted Li Xiang, looked at him seriously and said.
"Old Wang, what do you mean, let us register as Song Empire's household registration and become subjects of Song Empire?"
Li Xiang was too lazy to pretend to be stupid at this time. He directly pointed out what Master Wang wanted to say.
Prince Wang nodded heavily without denying it, and at the same time he said to Li Xiang seriously: "Master, the current situation is very unfavorable to you. Zheng Zhilong is eyeing us, and the Ming Dynasty also gave up on us and turned to Zheng Zhilong. Favored, under such circumstances, what are our chances of winning?"
Before Li Xiang could refute him, Master Wang continued: "Even if you, the boss, defeat Zheng Zhilong, in the end we are still pirates, and this cannot be changed at all, right?"
What Master Wang said was not wrong at all, and he had to admit it.
Therefore, Li Xiang could only nodded silently, acknowledging that what Master Wang said was very correct.
"Yes, we have been pirates all our lives. At the same time, we have also affected our relatives, so that they have no way to get rid of this identity."
Listening to the conversation between Master Wang and Li Xiang, Yang Biao and Lin Zhaodi felt really bad.
Yang Biao has been married for five years. His wife gave birth to a fat boy last year, giving Yang Biao a daughter.
But the problem is that after having children, men generally have different thoughts than when they were single.
Take Yang Biao as an example. Although his child is still young, he still thinks about his own identity and worries about his child's future from time to time.
As a father, Yang Biao hopes that his son can have a better life, instead of thinking that he, the father, is a pirate that everyone despises.
Not to mention Lin Zhaodi, his son has grown up and works on the ship with Li Xiang.
If he had a choice, Lin Zhaodi would never let his son do this. After all, he lost an arm because of this, and he didn't want his son to lose his life.
But the problem is that if his son doesn¡¯t do this,What can ?? do?
If you could choose to be a farmer in the Ming Dynasty, but here, you can only be a pirate.
"Head of the family, please bring everyone together to register as Zhao Song and become good citizens. Each family still has 200 acres of land. Isn't it better to be a small landowner than to be a pirate?"
Master Wang finally said what he wanted to say when he came to see Li Xiang. (To be continued.
