Chapter 412: You'll Still Be in My Charge in the Future! (Chapter 5)
Pirates have existed since ancient times, even in China.
Unlike the Japanese who recognize the title of pirates, piracy is an ancient criminal profession that has existed since ships sailed the seas. Especially after the 16th century, when navigation was developed, pirates were found in coastal areas where commerce was developed.
However, if we talk about which period of pirates are the most famous, it is naturally around the Age of Discovery. In China, it was the era of the Ming Dynasty, and even in the world, among the top ten famous international pirates, there was also a female pirate king in China.
Zheng Shi's!
Born in a brothel, Zheng Shi was kidnapped by the pirate Zheng Yi in 1801, and after Zheng Yi's death, she became the most powerful female pirate captain at the time. At its peak, Zheng Shi was in control of a pirate fleet of hundreds of ships.
In 1811, Zheng Shi finally decided to accept the imperial court's recruitment. Zheng Shishi and others led more than 270 ships equipped with 1,200 artillery pieces and 16,000 troops to surrender to the imperial court, and were awarded the title of thousand generals by the Qing government.
Of course, the same as the current Chen Zuren. The opposition to surrender within the pirates was quite large, and there were not a few who scolded him for betraying halfway and being rebellious. After Zheng Shi's surrender, her pirate followers in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia numbered tens of thousands, who had always refused to surrender to the imperial court.
Another more famous pirate king in the Ming Dynasty is now Zhu Zilong's doppelganger who has been found by perceptual techniques, Chen Yiren's grandson and grandson.
Some Chaozhou people who have watched "Zheng He Goes to the West" should have noticed that there is the first Chaozhou cow in history to appear - Chen Zuyi. He was the highest-ranking pirate boss in the world at the time!
The annual financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty government was 11 million taels of silver, but 7.5 million taels were used to reward him for his capture, which shows that he did not hesitate to do so. It also shows the importance of this person!
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang, the old man, didn't know if he couldn't swim, and set the national law of "no piece of board can go to the sea", which made the coastal people who lived on the sea how to live? The so-called pirates do not listen to Lao Zhu's words and go to the sea to make a living and do some business. It's just smuggling for a living!
This is the opposite of the current Great Song Dynasty.
Tan has been a pirate in Malacca for more than 10 years, and the group members exceeded tens of thousands at its peak. At its peak, I heard that it could even reach 100,000 people!
Dominating the seas of Japan, Taiwan, the South China Sea, and the Indian Ocean. Plundered 10,000 passing ships and attacked more than 50 coastal towns. Chen Zuyi became the most wanted criminal with the highest bounty ever offered.
Zhu Di's unsparing costs, including sending Zheng He to the West, are directly related to the "Jinghai thinking" of the Ming Dynasty, which was afraid of hostile forces launching subversive actions from the sea from the beginning of the founding of the country.
It is said that in order to escape the encirclement and suppression of the Ming Empire's navy, Chen Zuyi later fled to the Bolin State, and after the death of the king, he established himself as the king and became the king of the Bolin State, completing the gorgeous turn from a pirate to an emperor.
Such an achievement is probably unique in the history of piracy in the world. After Chen Zuyi became the king, he once paid tribute to the Ming Empire. Until he was captured by Zheng He later, Zhu Di was beheaded in public.

Zhu Zilong's doppelganger looked at Chen Zuren in front of him again, and had to sigh, this thing has a good grandchild. But your ancestors were pirates, and you really can't throw away traditional crafts, and you've been carrying them forward!
If it was placed at the time when he first crossed over, maybe Zhu Zilong, whether it was the main body or the clone, might have to kill Chen Zuren to earn system points. But now, Zhu Zilong realizes that he can not make much money across hundreds of years. No matter how bad the main god system is, there will be no such big loophole, and it will give you points.
Otherwise, killing someone casually on the road may be the ancestor of a celebrity, isn't that a minute to earn tens of thousands of points?
Just killing Chen Zuren didn't earn many points, and now he is willing to recruit people. When he came back to his senses, Zhu Zilong's clone hurriedly and thoughtfully, and asked people to arrange for someone to sit at the table.
Well, not only can't this man die, but he also has to be protected.
Although he is full of evil, he is indeed a talent, not to mention that it is not his intention to fall into the grass. In particular, his grandchildren, comrades, whose achievements were not under Zheng He's voyage to the West.
Throughout history, Western Northern Europe and Western European pirate nations rewarded pirates, and the Chinese were in the nest, Zheng He went around the South Seas, spent millions of silver, and captured a Chinese, isn't this a pit?
The so-called diplomatic relations, after Ming Xuanzong, there are not many. Now, with the vicissitudes of current affairs, how many Nanyang countries are still grateful to China in the old days?
Later, Wang Zhi and others were even more tragic, Francis. What kind of treatment is Drake in the UK, hehe, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, it was deserved, but it was a pity that he was robbed by Houjin!
In Europe, characters like Chen Zuyi are great heroes and heroes, and he alone can make the countries of Nanyang tremble, which shows that Chen Zuyi is a brave and resourceful and pioneering person, which is the same feat as Columbus and Magellan in Europe!
Daming Sailor was killed so many people, not only did we not pursue it, but also gave gifts to people, saying that it was a good name to repay grievances with virtue, Zheng He is a 213!
Without a bloody colonial history, where did the primitive accumulation come from, where did the primitive accumulation come from, where did the capital come from, without the capital, where did the food you use today come from?
The high welfare of European and American countries in later generations is more comfortable than the hard-working Chinese living in bed every day, is this fair?
If the Chen family continues to dominate the Southeast China Sea, will the later Japanese invasion, the First Sino-Japanese War, and all kinds of humiliation be rewritten?
Many historians believe that a large part of the reason for the seclusion of the country during the Zhu Yuanzhang period was because piracy was too rampant. Then, according to this logic, Chen Zuyi's piracy led to the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban, and the isolation of the country led to the backwardness of modern China.
Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty promoted his national prestige by killing Chen Zuyi, narrowed the distance with Southeast Asian countries, and improved his international status at that time.
This was true at the time, but in the long run, it was clearly a loss-making business.

Soon the banquet in the account began, and both parties had a wish to recruit peace.
Chen Zuren even saw that the situation was going well, and asked people to pull a large number of gold, silver and jewelry from the cave, saying that this was a private gift, not counting the money attached to Zhao'an. This kind of general knowledge, hugging the thighs, won the appreciation of everyone present. The atmosphere gets better and better!
And Zhu Zilong's doppelganger is also a very suitable expression. The fact that the owner of the Chen ship can be attached to the imperial court is exactly what the people want. Coastal military affairs, presumably able to reuse the owner of Chen, the same brother under is His Royal Highness the second prince today, and he is also the son-in-law of Cai Xianggong.
Not only that, but I will also do more things in the future. It is one of them to be in charge of the treaty wharf!
These words are soft and hard, and they sound good, but they are secretly threatened, you know, the generals also want to be distributed by civil officials, and the meaning of the words is: Zhao'an is now under my control, and you will still be under my control in the future.
