"Old man, please don't misunderstand me. Of course I'm happy for you that there is such a way under the current circumstances. In fact, I don't want to say goodbye to this kind of life and find a place to be a rich man. Here¡¯s Weng.¡±
Li Xiang explained to Lin Zhaodi with a wry smile on his face.
"Then what do you mean by treating everyone?"
Lin Zhaodi was immediately confused, because he could see from Li Xiang's face that he was quite opposed to going to America.
Li Xiang continued: "Old man, there is no problem in going to America. After all, there are two hundred acres of fertile land. Lao Wang will not talk nonsense, so I believe him." When Li Xiang said this, he rushed to Wang The Master nodded, indicating that he did not doubt what Master Wang said.
This made Master Wang breathe a sigh of relief.
Next, Li Xiang continued: "It's just that what I'm worried about is that the crown prince of the American Song Empire may not be able to fulfill his promise. So even if you plan to take other old brothers to follow Lao Wang If we leave, it is unlikely that we will see the crown prince. Since we can¡¯t see him, there is no hope in all this.¡±
Li Xiang¡¯s expression was heavy and sad.
Yes, in his opinion, Mrs. Wang just brought them a hope, but this hope was extinguished by God.
I have to say that this is a very cruel thing for them.
¡°In fact, Li Xiang felt that God really wanted to destroy their Li family.
Although Li Xiang now owns nineteen European-style warships, Li Xiang no longer has the excitement he had at the beginning.
????????????? Maybe, God is giving me hope, and it¡¯s not necessarily possible that I am going to play with myself again.
It¡¯s impossible to say for certain.
"Master, what do you mean by this?"
When Li Xiang finished speaking, Mrs. Wang, Lin Zhaodi and Liu Dashen all asked in unison.
They didn¡¯t know what judgment Li Xiang relied on to say such a thing.
Therefore, the three people are very curious about this.
??Especially Mrs. Wang and Liu Dashen, they are even more puzzled by this.
Based on their understanding of the Crown Prince, both of them believed that this matter could not be a lie.
As long as they can bring people to become naturalized, they will definitely have 200 acres of land.
Especially since they came this time with the mission given by the crown prince, which was to recruit Li Xiang.
It can be seen from this that how could this matter be unreliable?
And it can be heard from Li Xiang¡¯s words that he seems to have some basis and judgment for saying this.
Therefore, Mrs. Wang and Liu Dashen need to figure out what is going on.
" Lin Zhaodi thought that Li Xiang, the head of the family, seemed to know something that he didn't know.
After all, for him, many old brothers and their families, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
Once they miss this opportunity, they will never be able to stand up again, or they will die in the confrontation with Zheng Zhilong.
Only Yang Biao saw everyone's reactions one by one, and only he knew why his uncle said such things.
well!
Yang Biao sighed secretly in his heart. He couldn't bear to see his uncle telling the 'truth' and causing Old Uncle Lin to suffer such a blow.
¡°I also don¡¯t want to see Mrs. Wang and Liu Dashen, who just had hope and were full of longing for life, being tortured by the cruel reality and God.
¡°However, there are some things that are simply impossible to avoid, right?
After careful consideration, Li Xiang decided to tell everyone the news he got, so as to save them from being even more disappointed than they are now.
"When we came back from Nagasaki, we heard a piece of news. The news said that thirteen lords of Kyushu had united together to form an army of 150,000 people. Their target was the soldiers from the American Song Empire. The Crown Prince and his army.¡±
Hiss!
Li Xiang¡¯s words made Lin Zhaodi take a breath of air.
"However, Mrs. Wang and Liu Dashen were present, and it seemed that there was no surprise.
Li Xiang glanced at Mrs. Wang and Liu Dashen. He was a little confused in his heart. How could these two people be regarded as them?Were you not panicked at all when you heard the news?
However, Li Xiang didn¡¯t think much and continued talking.
"There are more than 150,000 Kyushu troops. I don't think the American crown prince can handle it. The best outcome is that he is defeated and withdraws from Kyushu and returns to America. The worst outcome" Although Li Xiang There is no telling what the worst outcome is, but the implications are self-evident.
Yes, Master Wang and Liu Dashen certainly know how big the army of 150,000 people is.
Brother Lin Zhao also understands.
The best outcome is that the crown prince is defeated, and the worst outcome is that he loses his life.
In fact, there is nothing that cannot be understood.
After Lin Zhaodi heard what Li Xiang said, he immediately understood what Li Xiang meant.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? but I was so excited just now, the crown prince might die on the land of Kyushu. And after the crown prince dies, the promises he made will definitely not be fulfilled.
No wonder the boss seemed hesitant to speak just now. It turned out to be because of this matter.
At this time, Lin Zhaodi¡¯s heart was really churning.
Yes, just as Li Xiang had worried just now, when Lin Zhaodi heard what Master Wang said, he was very serious about going to America to change his life. He even thought that God had opened his eyes and gave him such a person. A way to survive.
At the same time, my old brothers have also found a good home.
But it didn¡¯t come true. These hopes were shattered by the boss¡¯s words.
¡°All this looks beautiful, but it¡¯s just a mirror image.
I am afraid that only Brother Lin Zhao can understand how great the loss is.
Without His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of America, there would be no way to do this.
As a result, he can only continue to be a pirate, and his son can only continue to follow Li Xiang. Faced with Zheng Zhilong's pressing situation, he lived a precarious life, not knowing which day he would have another naval battle and die at sea.
He is just a single person. If his son dies, then the Lin family will be extinct.
"Despair!"
Lin Zhaodi is now filled with despair.
¡°If I had known this would happen, I shouldn¡¯t have been so concerned just now.
This is good, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and even despair.
This feeling really made him extremely uncomfortable.
Li Xiang saw Lin Zhaodi¡¯s reaction, so she stretched out her hand and put it on his shoulder, patting him gently.
"Old man, I can't help but say this. After all, if I don't say it, if Lao Wang's proposal spreads and is heard by other old brothers, they will do the same as you."
What Li Xiang said is right.
Now that I say it, only Lin Zhaodi will feel uncomfortable.
This is acceptable.
But if you don¡¯t say anything, then when the other old brothers seem to see hope one by one, in the end, it will not be one person who will be uncomfortable, but many people.
Lin Zhaodi nodded with difficulty and was speechless for a moment.
"Old Wang, what are you going to do now? The condition of the American crown prince is not very good. It is estimated that you will not be able to complete your plan now. So are you staying or leaving now?"
Li Xiang didn¡¯t mean anything else by saying this. After all, if Zhao Hongyu¡¯s side was finished, then Mrs. Wang and the others who came back on Zhao Hongyu¡¯s ship would not be able to go back.
Therefore, the plan they originally thought about could not be completed.
Therefore, in Li Xiang's view, there are only two ways to go before Master Wang and the others.
One is to return to the Ming Dynasty, and the other is to stay and become a pirate.
What I want to say is that if we return to the Ming Dynasty, given the current situation, people like Master Wang and Liu Dashen who are involved with Li Xiang will definitely not end well.
Those Ming Dynasty officials who have allied with Zheng Zhilong, as well as the coastal navy, will definitely not let them go.
The best outcome at that time is to be beheaded on the charge of piracy, and the worst outcome is to live a life worse than death, and at the same time, their families will suffer as well.
If you think about it this way, staying is a more reliable choice.
Although Mrs. Wang and Liu Dashen had previously told Li Xiang that they no longer wanted to continueBeing a pirate, I want to change my life to be a good citizen.
However, as the former boss, it is impossible to use such a thing as an excuse to ignore the two of them at this time.
In fact, Li Xiang fully understands the choice made by Master Wang and Liu Dashen.
People, no one is born to be a pirate and bear the reputation of a thief.
If given the chance, Li Xiang would be willing to be a good citizen and buy some land to become a rich man.
But the problem is, now he doesn¡¯t have this chance at all.
People in the Ming Dynasty have all surrendered to Zheng Zhilong, or they will be bribed by Zheng Zhilong.
Therefore, it is impossible for Li Xiang to return to Daming now.
For those people in the Ming Dynasty, they are now a golden Buddha.
Those people wanted to swallow him up right away and then squeeze out the wealth he had accumulated.
Therefore, Li Xiang would not be so stupid and go to Daming at this time.
Not only him, but also his subordinates cannot go back.
Because they are also targets.
It can be said that in order to kill himself and his group, Zheng Zhilong and those behind the scenes in the Ming Dynasty used all new opportunities and means.
When Li Xiang asked Master Wang and Liu Dascar about their choices, what made Li Xiang a little strange was that Master Wang and Liu Dascar did not panic. Instead, they still looked like the gods were there.
This makes Li Xiang really strange.
Why, aren¡¯t the two of them worried about this issue? (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
