When everyone heard that on the other side of the ocean, there was a way out for the Zhao and Song empires established by the remnants of the Song Dynasty, and everyone was very excited.

If nothing else, the mere fact that he was able to obtain 200 acres of fertile land after entering the household registration of the Zhao and Song empires and becoming a subject under his rule was 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 don't really have much of a way out of Amami Island, and they want to be able to find a new way of life for themselves.

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

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

What's more, who has no family members like them.

After having a family, the idea is different from when I was a single.

Therefore, the group of people under Li Xiang's command, they most want to leave with Wang Fuzi and them.

Since the prince left Amami Island for the Ming Dynasty, these people have been in constant contact with those who have stayed, and have inquired about the affairs of the Zhao and Song Empires in the Americas.

After receiving an affirmative answer, their minds came alive one by one.

And many people immediately made up their minds that this time they were already going to get out of the quagmire of piracy and go to a new life.

Therefore, in addition to the people who stayed on Amami Island every day, there were also many old guys who had been with Li Xiang for some years, and they found Li Xiang and told Li Xiang their thoughts.

Regarding the choice of these people, Li Xiang said that he supported it.

After all, Li Xiang also understands how bad the situation he has to face now is, if at such a time, the old brothers can find a way out, then Li Xiang, as their eldest brother, why should they oppose it.

Besides. These people are basically old, and it is impossible for them to continue to fight with them at sea.

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

Honestly, they're a drag on Amamijima right now.

It's true, but people don't say it.

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

But these people always feel that they have become useless people, even if Li Xiang always helps them, but it feels like charity. It's very uncomfortable.

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

The Zhao and Song Empires are very good.

As long as they enter the household registration, they will have 200 acres of high-quality fertile land, which is very attractive to them.

Don't look at them as pirates now, they were all croppers when they were younger.

When they followed Li Xiang as pirates, wasn't it because they couldn't survive in the Ming Dynasty?

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

Li Xiang and these old buddies of theirs took the risk to become pirates at the end of Jiajing because of the persecution of the landlord and the fact that they couldn't survive at all.

Although they haven't used a hoe for decades, they haven't forgotten this skill.

Everyone is very confident. As long as he arrived at the Zhao and Song Empires, he received 200 acres of fertile land. Then they will definitely 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 feel that we have no hope of continuing to fight against Zheng Zhilong. Therefore, many people want to wait for Wang Fuzi to come back, and go to the Song Empire in the Americas with them to enter the household registration there. If we let this shock continue, it will not be good 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, it did not stop everyone from inquiring about things in the Americas. But Yang Biao still feels that the current situation is a little difficult to handle.

Therefore, 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, but he still looks light-hearted.

"It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, if the old brothers can have a good way out, of course I, as the eldest brother, will be happy for them. You don't have to say anything more, just let them decide for themselves to stay. ”

Li Xiang is a person who cares about his old feelings, but he doesn't think what his nephew said is serious.

And Li Xiang knows very well how big the danger is that he has to face, so he will not stop his old buddies from rushing to a new life.

If he, Li Xiang, was the kind of selfish person, then there would not be a group of people willing to follow him at this time.

At the same time, Li Xiang also understands that those people who now have the idea of going to the Americas to register are some brothers who are older, and who are dragging their families or are disabled.

For these people, Li Xiang is ashamed in his heart.

For so many years, he Li Xiang has not taken enough care of these brothers, and he feels guilty.

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

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

Come to think of it, Zheng Zhilong will not let go of these people.

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

If he stopped him, wouldn't he tell others that he wanted to die with his old buddies?

If it were a different person, I would probably do it again.

But Li Xiang, he would never be able to do such a thing.

Now these old brothers who follow him, if they can really retire peacefully and steadily in the Song Empire in the Americas, it will be too late for him to be happy as a big brother.

And those 200 acres of land are enough to feed those old buddies, aren't they?

"Uncle, I'm not asking you to stop them. It's just thinking about the fluctuation of people's hearts, which has a great impact on us. In case those who want to stay are also shaken, then how can we deal with Zheng Zhilong. ”

When Yang Biao heard this, he smiled bitterly and said to Li Xiang.

Yes, the hearts of people on Amami Island are floating right now. The fact that the 200 acres of fertile land of the Song Dynasty was naturalized in the Americas and brought everyone a huge shock.

Not to mention the old pirates, even some young people are also very excited.

Now Li Xiang has not agreed to take refuge in Zhao Hongyu, so he will have to face Zheng Zhilong's opponent by himself in the future.

However, if these people on Amami Island all went to the Song Empire in the Americas to be good citizens.

So how can Li Xiang, who has no manpower, fight against Zheng Zhilong.

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

Moreover, you have to be a skilled sailor.

Yang Biao is worried about the formal problem.

He worries if everyone is willing to go. Then they will have the problem of understaffing.

When the time comes, even if there is a ship, then no one will drive it.

Then, it's even more impossible to talk about confronting Zheng Zhilong, isn't it?

If nothing else, let's just say that the nineteen warships that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave them this time required two hundred and sixteen sailors for each of them.

The sum of these nineteen warships required sailors was not a small number.

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

These ships need to be operated by people.

Once there is a shortage of manpower. Then God knows how many warships will be parked at sea, which is almost useless.

"Biaozi, I understand what you're worried about." Hearing this, Li Xiang looked up at her nephew with a worried face. "Seriously, are you interested in what is going on in the Americas?"

Yang Biao heard Li Xiang ask. He was stunned by the question.

He didn't understand why his uncle would ask him this question.

Is he trying to test himself?

Yang Biao suddenly came up with such an idea.

But soon, he vetoed it.

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

And Yang Biao's days with Li Xiang are not short. He knew his uncle's character very well.

He never beats around the bush when he speaks to people close to him, and he usually goes straight to what he says.

Therefore. After thinking about it, Yang Biao said to Li Xiang: "Uncle, do you want to listen to the truth or lie?" ”

"Tell the truth!"

"Okay, I'll just say it." , Yang Biao was silent for a while, and then began to answer Li Xiang's question: "Uncle, to be honest, I am really moved by the things in the Americas. The 200 acres of fine land alone definitely attracted me. ”

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

"Uncle, these 200 acres of high-quality fertile land don't seem to be much. On the side of the daimyo, if it is a family with status and face, no one has more land than this. But the problem is, if you don't have any backers over there in the Ming Dynasty, you will be looking for death if you take these lands. Those landlords and local wealthy families will definitely figure out how to pit you. ”

"But it's different in the Americas." , Yang Biao said his thoughts to Li Xiang little by little. "Master Wang said that there is a country ruled by law, and no matter who is there, he must follow the laws and regulations. As long as you don't break the laws of the Heavenly Family, then nothing will happen......"

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

In fact, Wang Fuzi himself heard it from Zhao Hongyu, and some of them came to this conclusion after talking with the genetic soldiers in the fleet.

And who is Master Wang, he was born as a scholar.

I see a lot of things very accurately.

So, he said that the Americas were good, and that would be very good.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come back in a hurry to pick up his family, would he? (To be continued......)
