Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- In the American Song Empire, as long as the household registration was registered, the family would be given 200 acres of high-quality farmland. At the same time, they are not blamed for their past piracy, making them become good people.
At the same time, their children can go to school like everyone else in the Zhao and Song Empire, and in the future they can obtain honors and become officials.
This suddenly made the people under the Lixiang Group on Amami Island feel excited.
The attraction of the Zhao and Song Empire has become very great for them.
Therefore, those who stay on Amami Island will have many people coming to their homes every day to inquire about this news.
Especially after receiving a very positive answer, each of their minds became more active.
Especially those who have followed Li Xiang for decades, are injured or are old, they are very concerned about the naturalization of the Zhao Song Empire.
For them, this is a very good way out, especially in the current situation.
If you can go this route, it¡¯s really not a good choice.
¡°People like them, who don¡¯t have a family, a job, and children to take care of?
But the problem is that their family members can only stay on Amami Island with them, living a life of fear of today and tomorrow.
And, they can¡¯t get rid of their identity as pirates.
God knows they will be annexed by Zheng Zhilong that day, or wiped out by the imperial navy.
Therefore, everyone hopes to have another way out, not only for themselves but also for their relatives and children.
Every day, many people are praying secretly.
It¡¯s okay now. I don¡¯t know if God really showed up. Anyway, a golden avenue really appeared in front of them.
The words of those brothers who came back with Mrs. Wang are so conclusive that they cannot be false even if you think about it.
They all have to pick up their families, and then wait for Master Wang to pick up their families from the Ming Dynasty. After buying the refugees, you can set off back to America.
By that time, he will be an out-and-out landlord.
It would be a lie to say that I don¡¯t envy them.
"Look at the people who are about to kill the landlords. Their relatives and children no longer have to worry about them.
?????????????? And their children can still study, and in the future they can get academic honors and so on. Even if you are not good at studying, if your family has 200 acres of land, your children and grandchildren will not have to worry about it.
Looking back on themselves, they are still struggling with their identity as pirates.
And now that they are following Li Xiang, the boss, they are in even more danger.
Zheng Zhilong was aggressive towards them. The navy from the Ming Dynasty also threatened them.
And in recent years, many of their brothers have died in the confrontation with Zheng Zhilong.
God knows when, it will be their turn.
In fact, they are not afraid of death.
Since they became pirates at the beginning, they knew very well that sooner or later they would have such a day.
However, now that they all have families and businesses, their ideas and concepts are definitely different from when they were young.
They were still young at that time, so there was nothing to worry about.
But now they are all people with wives and children at home.
So, it¡¯s impossible to think like that anymore.
What they are thinking about now is not themselves. But my own family and children.
The more typical ones are people like Lin Zhaodi, who is Li Xiang¡¯s confidant.
?? Lin Zhaodi has a wife and a son. The family structure is simple and it is a single generation.
so. He cares very much about his son.
Originally, he didn¡¯t want his son to become a pirate.
But the problem is that his son was born on Amami Island, and he has been exposed to these things since he was a child.
¡°In addition, he lost an arm in a sea battle a few years ago, which suddenly made his family lose a pillar.
Although Li Xiang can help him, he can't always help him endlessly.
so. Under such circumstances, Lin Zhaodi's son followed his father's old path and became a pirate under Li Xiang's command.
actually. In Lin Zhaodi's heart, he didn't want his son to take this path.
He himself had lost an arm and became a cripple. This is pretty good for him. He doesn¡¯t know that heWhether my son had such good luck, he might even lose his life.
But the problem is, if his son doesn¡¯t step up and find something to do, then their family will lose their source of income.
Then, their family will not be able to survive.
It is an indisputable fact that Li Xiang Group¡¯s income has dropped significantly in recent years.
And the supplies on Amami Island must be purchased from other merchants, and the price is definitely much more expensive than what ordinary people buy.
So, on the surface, they seem to be quite profitable as pirates. In fact, this is not the case at all. A lot of the money they earn is spent on daily expenses, and not much money can be saved every month.
Of course, compared to the bankrupts of the Daming Dynasty, their lives are still very good.
It¡¯s just that there is no hope for pirates and they can¡¯t see tomorrow.
Therefore, many people hope that if there is another way out, it would be the best.
But, it¡¯s hard to find such a way out.
Originally, they all thought about being ordered to do justice by the imperial court, and then return to the Ming Dynasty to become obedient citizens, thus getting rid of their status as pirates.
However, although the imperial court made several attempts to recruit him, the negotiations were not successful because the conditions were too harsh. That's why the matter was dropped, and no one thought much about it.
Originally, the Li Xiang Group believed from top to bottom that if it was inappropriate to negotiate once, then do it twice, and if it was inappropriate to negotiate twice, then do it three times.
In the end, everyone can always reach an agreement, right?
The idea was good, but things changed.
Zheng Zhilong suddenly jumped up and quickly approached the court, and was recruited by the court.
¡°This time, the situation became a little unfavorable for the Li Xiang Group.
The imperial court began to turn a blind eye to the Li Xiang Group, and there were even vague signs of suppression.
After the confrontation between Zheng Zhilong and Li Xiang, Li Xiang was seriously injured, and the court simply stopped paying attention to him.
At the same time, Li Xiang had some contact points along the coast of the Ming Dynasty. They were all confiscated by the imperial court and suffered heavy losses.
At this point, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the imperial court has given up on the Li Xiang Group and started to support the Zheng Zhilong Group.
In other words, Li Xiang was rushing to talk to the court at this time, but the court would not talk to him, and would even try to trick him.
Strictly speaking, it wasn¡¯t that Li Xiang didn¡¯t want to join the imperial court, it was just that the price offered by the imperial court was too harsh.
??For example, disbanding his navy and letting his brothers find their own way out.
And secretly at the same time. The big boss in charge of this matter in the imperial court also asked for a large sum of money.
Even Li Xiang couldn¡¯t take out this money, and even if he did, he would go bankrupt.
At that time, Li Xiang considered that if his pirate group was dispersed, he would be a mere commander. Without this support, wouldn't he be easily rounded and flattened in the future?
¡°It¡¯s either that we can¡¯t give him the money, or there¡¯s no discussion on this issue.
But things got stuck on this issue.
"In fact, what Li Xiang didn't know was that the big boss in the court didn't have any good intentions at all.
?That¡¯s what they originally meant. After preparing to drain Li Xiang dry, he also disintegrated his pirate organization, and then beheaded Li Xiang on charges.
¡°Then with the help of Li Xiang¡¯s head, this big boss can get another credit.
¡°For example, we eradicated a giant bandit that was causing trouble along the coast. This contribution is not small.
But what the big boss didn¡¯t expect was that Li Xiang couldn¡¯t disband his organization even if he died. This made the big boss a little clumsy.
When we couldn¡¯t reach an agreement several times, the big boss was also a little angry. I think Li Xiang doesn't know how to praise.
¡°It was really because of Li Xiang¡¯s lack of appreciation that he escaped disaster.
If Li Xiang recognized his compliment, he would lose his life.
And Zheng Zhilong didn¡¯t know where he found out about this situation. Arrangements for this matter began immediately.
The big boss didn¡¯t reach an agreement with Li Xiang, which was not good for him either.
After all, the imperial court needs him to stabilize the maritime territory, so pirates like Li Xiang must be dealt with.
But he delayed it for such a long time and there was no agreement at all. Therefore, the opposition in the DPRK began to write letters to impeach him.
In such a situation, Zheng Zhilong appearedIt¡¯s over.
¡° Moreover, Zheng Zhilong launched a silver bullet offensive and suddenly gained the favor of this greedy boss. After some contact, the two hit it off and reached an agreement.
"Compared with the conditions offered to Li Xiang, the conditions offered by this big boss to Zheng Zhilong are very generous.
I have to say, Li Xiang is really unlucky.
At the same time, we must also admit that Zheng Zhilong is very good at seizing opportunities and can seize them to create favorable conditions for himself.
In order to communicate with the court, the big boss approached Zheng Zhilong if Li Xiang couldn't reach an agreement.
¡°And Zheng Zhilong is very good at life, so under the constraints of various circumstances, the conditions were relaxed.
"Commander-in-Chief of the Fujian Navy, this is no small official.
The price given to Li Xiang at the beginning was just an official position for a regiment training in Denglai, Shandong Province.
It can be seen from this that the big boss who works in the Ming Dynasty is really quite capable.
It was also from that time that Zheng Zhilong quickly rose to power in the Eastern Sea. He used his status as a military general in the imperial court to unite with his own secretly hidden pirate organization and began to attack Li Xiang.
At the same time, the big boss in the court also began to plan, and asked the court to issue documents to start the coastal navy, and also began to encircle and suppress Li Xiang.
At this point, Li Xiang is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the situation has taken a turn for the worse.
The Japanese country and Goryeo were also warned by the Ming Dynasty and began to violate Li Xiang's yin and yang.
This made Li Xiang even worse.
How could Li Xiang¡¯s subordinates not know this situation clearly?
So, guys, I hope to find a way out.
And the news that Master Wang and the others brought about their return made everyone¡¯s eyes brighten.
Isn¡¯t this a good opportunity and a good way out? It depends on whether you can seize it. (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
