Chapter 498: It's all Huaxia blood, save it
Liu Da Scar and these people were originally subordinate to Li Xiang in the southeast sea of the Ming Dynasty.
In the winter of last year, Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong fought a tragic naval battle between Taiwan and Japan in the southeast sea in order to compete for maritime supremacy.
In this naval battle, the two sides gathered the participation of Japan, the Netherlands and the Portuguese, and the people of the headquarters were very happy.
In the end, it ended with Li Xiang's failure.
Although Li Xiang lost this naval battle, his vitality was not damaged.
Therefore, Zheng Zhilong was unable to expand the results of the battle, and it was just to start his fame.
Besides, the reason why Zheng Zhilong was able to win the naval battle was because of the help of the Portuguese and the Dutch.
And in this naval battle, Li Xiang lost a lot of manpower.
Some of them also became captives of the Dutch and Portuguese.
Liu Da scarred these people, and they were some of these captives.
However, most of the captives were killed or sold to other places for hard labor.
Only Liu Dascar and these people were lucky, because the Dutch captain planned to sell them to the Americas, so they were spared.
If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have survived to this point.
You must know that even if they are trafficked into hard labor, their fate will not be much better.
As soon as all kinds of small coal kilns enter, they will still die within half a year.
In fact, the captain of the Tulip also wanted to gamble, after all, Liu Da Scar and their people were similar to the people of the Song Empire, if the operation was good, maybe they could really be sold for a high price.
Of course, if you lose money, you won't do it again.
After listening to the Tulip Captain's account, Zhao Hongyu narrowed his eyes.
The captain saw that Zhao Hongyu on the other side was silent, and a fine light flashed in his half-squinted eyes, which made him very uneasy.
for he does not know the way. This young man, who seems to be a great nobleman of the Song Empire, what can he say in the next moment.
If this is a kill order, he will definitely die here.
"What price are you going to sell?"
In a panic, Zhao Hongyu finally spoke.
The captain of the Tulip was overjoyed, because he could tell from Zhao Hongyu's words that the great nobleman of the Song Empire obviously wanted to buy these pirate captives of the Ming Dynasty.
"Twenty livres, or Spanish gold coins, of course you can pay in other currencies."
Bastard! Are these people worth the money! Those sturdy black slaves in Africa are only a dozen silver coins, and you dare to sell these guys for twenty gold coins, do you know who the person in front of you is!
didn't wait for Zhao Hongyu to speak. Wang Shan reprimanded the greedy captain of the Tulip.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, please calm your anger and resentment, and you are not making indiscriminate offers." , the captain of the Tulip hurriedly explained. "You know how far the East is from the Caribbean, and we have to spend a lot of water and food to make sure that these people don't die at sea......"
This guy is telling the truth.
As captives, these pirates of the Ming Dynasty were able to come from the East or to the Caribbean Sea without dying. It can be seen that this captain has taken care of them very 'finely'.
If this had been put on someone else, he would have died at sea a long time ago, and he would not have died again.
These pirates are actually a little useful to Zhao Hongyu, not to mention that they are all from the southeast sea of the Daimyo, so they should know the situation over there very well.
It's good as an idea.
Besides. Even if they are pirates, they also have the blood of Huaxia flowing through them.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu, who is also of Chinese ethnicity, should save them once.
And with these people. When I go to the east, I won't be black-eyed.
And because of their existence, they can still have a relationship with the pirate leader Li Xiang.
Since Li Xiang is a pirate leader. I think he must have had a lot of connections in the Ming Dynasty.
If you can cooperate with Li Xiang, it will be easier to buy the Ming Dynasty homeless people.
Of course, if you cooperate with Li Xiang, you will inevitably offend the other party.
That is the rising Zheng Zhilong side.
For Zheng Zhilong, Zhao Hongyu will not take it to heart.
Although the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, he will not be afraid of Zheng Zhilong.
With more than 70 warships there, it's not something that anyone can easily bully.
Besides, he is not resident in the Ming Dynasty, so there will not be much conflict of interest with Zheng Zhilong.
Unless Zheng Zhilong himself is impatient to provoke him, then Zhao Hongyu doesn't mind solving Zheng Zhilong's trouble.
At that moment, Zhao Hongyu absolutely saved those pirates of the Ming Dynasty.
As for giving money or something, Zhao Hongyu didn't think about it.
The Caribbean is no longer as powerful as the Dutch.
The captain of the Tulip apparently didn't know anything about it.
I can afford to give twenty gold coins, but Zhao Hongyu is unwilling to give it.
With a look, Wang Shan walked in front of Zhao Hongyu knowingly.
Zhao Hongyu whispered a few words in Wang Shan's ear: "Get out those pirates of the Ming Dynasty and deal with these Dutch, we don't need to keep this battleship, let them die here." ”
Wang Shan nodded again and again when he heard this, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
When he straightened up and looked back, the gloomy meaning on his face was completely gone, replaced by a warm face like a spring breeze.
"Good! Just twenty gold coins, we bought. How many captives do you have here? ”
Wang Shan walked over with a smile and asked as he stood in front of the captain of the Tulip.
At the same time, Wang Shan's hands were behind his back and he made a very inconspicuous gesture.
However, the captains of the genetic soldiers behind him dispersed knowingly.
When he heard that the captives he had brought with great difficulty could finally be sold, the smile on the captain's face was bright.
"One hundred and fifty-seven in all!"
Wang Shan nodded: "Bring them all up, let's hand them over here." ”
For the handover here, of course, this captain will not object.
Under his leadership, a group of pirates helped each other to finally reach the deck.
The pirates were unclothed. The stench is all over the body, and the faces of one or two are all vegetables.
It can be seen that the absolute impact is bad.
Liu Da's scar on the pole was also put down, although he was already unconscious, and seeing that he was not far from death, Wang Shan had no intention of not saving him.
As for whether he is dead or alive, it depends on Liu Dascar's own.
When they were brought to the deck, they were a little unaccustomed to the brightness of the day because they had been in the dark cabin for a long time.
What kind of people are these, although they are dressed strangely, they are also black hair and black eyes.
Old Master Wang was the first person to see the surrounding situation clearly. At that moment, doubts rose in his heart.
Judging from the surrounding situation, these red-haired ghosts are obviously at a disadvantage.
Because of the red-haired ghosts on this ship, they were all surrounded in a corner by some genetic soldiers armed with muskets and bayonets.
Oh my God, what kind of ship is this!
After looking at the surrounding environment, Old Master Wang saw the Sea King.
The tall hull and the dense muzzles of the guns.
I originally thought that the battleship of the red-haired ghost was already very powerful, but what I didn't expect was that there was a warship that was even sharper than the red-haired ghost.
Nowadays, the warships of the pirates of the Ming Dynasty only have seven or eight guns on one ship. That's pretty impressive.
Usually in many cases, the number of guns on a pirate ship is only one or two.
After all, artillery is a good thing.
The Portuguese also had the Dutch. As for the cannon, this weapon is generally not sold easily.
Therefore, the pirates in the southeast sea of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the large number of large, medium and small sea ships, but the number of artillery they have is not much.
Most naval battles. It's still melee and broadside combat.
A warship like the Song Empire, which had a large number of artillery, was already a monster in the eyes of Old Master Wang.
No, not a behemoth. That's a monster.
"Old man, please come with me, our master has already bought you all."
Just as Old Master Wang was stunned, a Huaxia dialect that sounded awkward and strange to him sounded in front of him.
Yes, there is nothing wrong with these Wang Shan speaking Mandarin, but this Mandarin is the language of later generations.
Although Huaxia is also spoken in this era, it is very different from Mandarin.
It is precisely for this reason that Wang Fuzi sounds a little weird and awkward.
But regardless of whether it is weird and awkward, Master Wang and the others can understand it.
Hearing that he had been sold by the red-haired ghost, Wang Fuzi and the mortals couldn't help but have a little distortion on their faces.
There was a mixture of uneasiness and trepidation, but more often than not, anger.
The people of the Heavenly Dynasty were actually sold by some Fanbang red hairs, which is simply a great shame.
Don't look at them as pirates, but in his heart, he also thinks that he is a citizen of the Heavenly Empire.
"Old man, don't talk, you want to live with me."
Wang Shan saw that the pirates in front of him were silent and did not move, so he continued to speak to them.
"Master Wang, where are these people? I can't see the number of their roads, we can be regarded as people with old knowledge on the southeast coast, but why can't these people see the origin of the depths. ”
The people next to Old Master Wang whispered.
"Dare to ask who the master is?"
"We are the fleet of the Song Empire in the Americas, and it was my Royal Highness who bought you, but it was just for the sake of us being of Huaxia blood, so don't you know what to do."
Seeing through what these people were worried about, Wang Shan also revealed a little bit of information to them.
Old Master Wang was stunned. (To be continued......)
