Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    People on Amami Island were in a state of excitement. When everyone heard that on the other side of the ocean, there was a way out for the Zhao-Song Empire established by the survivors of the Song Dynasty, everyone was very excited.

    Not to mention anything else, just the fact that you can get 200 acres of fertile land after becoming a citizen of the Zhao and Song Empire and becoming a subject under its rule is enough to attract the people of Amami Island.

    Especially for those who have followed Li Xiang for some years and are already a little old, or have become disabled for one reason or another.

    People like them actually have no big way out if they stay on Amami Island, and they also hope to find a new way of life for themselves.

    Being a pirate is no longer suitable for people like them.

    If they can be good citizens and acquire some land, this is a very good way for them.

    What¡¯s more, for people like them, who doesn¡¯t have a family?

    ¡°After you have a family, your thoughts are different from when you were single.

    Therefore, this group of people under Li Xiang¡¯s command are the ones who most want to leave with Master Wang and the others.

    Since Master Wang left Amami Island for the Ming Dynasty, these people have continued to contact those who stayed behind and inquired about the Zhao and Song Empire in America.

    After receiving the affirmative answer, each of them became more active.

    And many people immediately made up their minds to get out of the piracy quagmire this time and start a new life.

    So, in addition to contacting those who stayed on Amami Island every day, these people also had many old guys who had been with Li Xiang for some years. They found Li Xiang one after another and expressed their thoughts to Li Xiang.

    Li Xiang expressed her support for these people¡¯s choices.

    After all, Li Xiang also understands how bad the situation he is facing now is. If the old brothers can find a way out at such a time, then why should Li Xiang, their eldest brother, object.

    ¡°Besides, these people are basically elderly and can no longer continue to fight with them on the sea.

    At the same time, many of these old buddies are disabled.

    To be honest, they are a drag on Amami Island now.

    Although this is true, people just don¡¯t say it out loud.

    And the lives of these people are not very satisfactory, although Li Xiang has never treated them lightly.

    But these people always feel that they have become useless people. Even if Li Xiang always helps them, it feels like charity, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

    If they can rely on their own abilities to support their families, then these people will definitely choose to rely on their own abilities to support their families.

    The Zhao and Song Empire was very good.

    As long as they register, they will have 200 acres of high-quality farmland, which is very tempting to them.

    ¡°Don¡¯t think they are pirates now, when they were young they were farmers.

    ¡°When they followed Li Xiang to become pirates, wasn¡¯t it because they couldn¡¯t survive in the Ming Dynasty?

    Since the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the trend of land annexation has intensified.

    Li Xiang and their old buddies took the risk and became pirates at the end of the Jiajing period because they could no longer survive due to the persecution of the landlords.

    Although they haven¡¯t used hoes for decades, they have never forgotten this skill.

    Everyone is very confident that as long as they get to the Zhao and Song Empire, they will receive 200 acres of fertile land.  Then they will be able to be self-sufficient and live a stable life with their families.

    "Uncle, there are a lot of rumors on the island these days. Many people think that there is no hope for us if we continue to fight against Zheng Zhilong. So many people want to wait for Mrs. Wang to come back and go to America with them to enter the Song Empire.  If this kind of shock continues, it will be bad for us."

    These days, Li Xiang¡¯s nephew Yang Biao has been paying attention to the situation on the island.

    Although he was greeted by Li Xiang and did not stop everyone from asking about things in America, Yang Biao still felt that the current situation was a bit difficult.

    So, on this day, he had to find Li Xiang and expressed his opinion with some worry.

    Li Xiang is not as worried as his nephew. Instead, he looks calm and relaxed.

    "It's going to rain and my mother is going to get married. If these old brothers can find a good way out, I, as the eldest brother, will of course be happy for them. Don't say anything more and let them??Just decide whether to stay or go.  "

    Li Xiang is someone who cares about old relationships, but he doesn¡¯t think what his nephew said is serious.

    ¡°And Li Xiang knows very well how much danger he has to face, so he will not stop his old friends from running towards a new life.

    ¡°If Li Xiang was that kind of selfish person, then there wouldn¡¯t be a group of people willing to follow him at this time.

    At the same time, Li Xiang also understood that those who now have the idea of ??registering in America are older brothers who have families to support, or are disabled.

    For these people, Li Xiang felt ashamed.

    Over the years, Li Xiang has not taken enough care of these brothers, and he feels extremely guilty.

    And at this time, he suddenly got into trouble with Zheng Zhilong.

    If there was no such thing as the American Song Empire, Li Xiang could almost predict that he would be defeated by Zheng Zhilong in the near future, and what would happen to the old buddies who followed him.

    Thinking about it, Zheng Zhilong will not let these people go.

    Therefore, now that they have such a way out, Li Xiang will not stop them.

    ¡°If he blocks it, wouldn¡¯t it mean to tell others that he wants to take his old buddy to death with him?

    If it were another person, he might do the same thing.

    But Li Xiang, there is absolutely no way he could do such a thing.

    If these old brothers who follow him can really live a peaceful life in the Song Empire in America, it will be too late for him to be happy as a big brother.

    ¡°And those two hundred acres of land are enough to support those old friends, right?

    "Uncle, I'm not asking you to stop them. I'm just thinking that the fluctuation of people's hearts will have a great impact on us. If those who want to stay are also shaken, how will we deal with Zheng Zhilong."

    Hearing this, Yang Biao smiled bitterly and said to Li Xiang.

    Yes, people on Amami Island are in a state of flux now, and the news of the American naturalization of 200 acres of fertile land in the Song Dynasty has given everyone a huge shock.

    Not to mention the old pirates, even some young people have a lot of hearts.

    Now Li Xiang has not agreed to join Zhao Hongyu, so in the future he will have to face Zheng Zhilong himself.

    But what if all these people on Amami Island went to the Song Empire in America to become good citizens?

    ¡°So how can Li Xiang fight against Zheng Zhilong if he has no manpower?

    You know, those ships always need people to operate them.

    ¡°And you have to be a skilled sailor.

    Yang Biao is worried about this issue.

    He worries that if everyone is willing to leave, they will have a manpower shortage problem.

    By then, even if there is a boat, no one will sail it.

    Then, it becomes even more impossible to talk about confronting Zheng Zhilong, right?

    ¡°If nothing else, let¡¯s just say that the nineteen warships given to them by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this time each require 216 sailors.

    The total number of these nineteen warships requires a lot of sailors.

    Not to mention that in addition to these nineteen European-style warships, Li Xiang also had hundreds of Ming-style ships.

    ¡°These ships all need people to control them.

    Once there is insufficient manpower, God knows how many warships will be parked at sea, almost equivalent to being useless.

    "Biaozi, I understand all the problems you are worried about." Li Xiang heard this and looked up at his nephew who looked worried.  "Seriously, are you interested in what's happening in America?"

    When Yang Biao heard Li Xiang ask this question, he was stunned by the question.

    He didn¡¯t understand why his uncle would ask him this question.

    Is it because he wants to test himself?

    Yang Biao suddenly came up with such an idea.

    But he quickly rejected it.

    Li Xiang is his biological uncle, so it is impossible for him to test himself.

    ¡°And Yang Biao has been with Li Xiang for a long time. He knows his uncle¡¯s character very well.

    He never mince words when talking to people close to him, he usually speaks straight to the point.

    Therefore, after Yang Biao thought for a while, he said to Li Xiang: "Uncle, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

    "to be honest!"

    "Okay, I'll say it." Yang Biao was silentAfter a moment, he began to answer Li Xiang's question: "Uncle, to be honest, I am really interested in things in America. Just two hundred acres of high-quality farmland is definitely attractive to me."

    After listening to Yang Biao's answer, Li Xiang nodded slowly.

    "Uncle, these two hundred acres of fine farmland don't seem to be much. As far as the famous names are concerned, no family with status and reputation can have more fields than this. But the problem is, if you don't have any backers in the Ming Dynasty,  , if you take this land, you are seeking death. Those landowners and local wealthy families will definitely think of ways to trick you."

    ¡°But it¡¯s different in America.¡± Yang Biao told Li Xiang his thoughts little by little.  "Master Wang said that the country is governed by law, and everyone must abide by the laws and regulations. As long as you do not violate the laws of the Heavenly Family, nothing will happen"

    Regarding matters on the American continent, Master Wang said something to Li Xiang and Yang Biao.

    In fact, Mrs. Wang himself heard it from Zhao Hongyu, and some conclusions were drawn after talking to the genetic soldiers in the fleet.

    "Who is Master Wang? He is a scholar.

    He sees many things very accurately.

    Therefore, if he said that the American side is good, it must be very good.

    ¡°Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have come back in such a hurry to pick up his family, right?  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
