Chapter 992: Biaozi, Recognize Your Position (Three Watches!) )
The people of Amami Island, who were in grief, finally recovered a little bit of their spirit after hearing Li Xiang say the news, and they no longer looked so miserable.
Of course, even so, in fact, everyone's hearts are still very sad.
The death of a loved one is impossible for anyone to feel good with.
But no matter what, what Li Xiang said can be regarded as a good thing.
In the end, under Li Xiang's arrangement, everyone left the dock and returned home, and after cleaning up a little, they boarded the imperial warship.
Although it is not yet possible to recover from the pain of losing a loved one, they see hope that they can live a good life.
Two hundred acres of fertile land.
That's not a small amount of land.
On the side of the Ming Dynasty, he can definitely be regarded as an out-and-out small landlord.
Although they all have some money on hand, they can buy so much land if they want to, if not more.
But the problem is that their identities doom them to want to live normally in the Ming Dynasty, so they have to be exploited.
At the end of the day, God knows how much money they have left.
And even that's not the scariest thing.
What scares and worries them the most is that those guys who eat people and don't spit out bones use blunt knives to torture them a little bit of bloodletting.
In particular, Zheng Zhilong has now taken refuge in the imperial court.
When the time comes, this guy will have a crooked mouth, and they will have no way to live.
Therefore, it is not that they don't want to go back to the Ming Dynasty, but that the situation forces them to not go back.
But when you get to the Americas, you don't have to worry about that.
When they went, they gave them 200 acres of land for nothing.
The requirement is just to let them be human beings and be good citizens with property.
For the people of Amami Island, who are tired of piracy, they simply want to live like this.
With 200 acres of land, who will live a pirate life with no tomorrow today.
When the time comes, they can live a leisurely life as landlords.
Not to mention. I heard that the Song Empire was able to buy black Kunlun slaves. These black guys are strong and strong, and they are good at work.
At that time, they don't even have to work in the fields themselves, just drive these Kunlun slaves to do it.
Isn't it like they're doing pirates to live a stable life?
So, the big guys are looking forward to going to the Americas.
In a short period of time, all the people of Amami Island were cleaned up.
In fact, on the island, they don't have anything too valuable to take with them. Basically, everyone took the cash and the silver tickets stored in the Nagasaki bank, and as for the simple furniture on the island, who would bring those things.
And Boss Li also said it. The brothers who died in this naval battle will also receive a large amount of money for their relatives. This money was all paid by Li Xiang himself, which was enough for them to live a stable life in the Song Empire after they went to the Song Empire in the Americas.
This person, after having hope, the spirit of the whole person becomes different.
Although the adults have not yet recovered from the complete loss of their loved ones, many of them have begun to talk to each other quietly during the voyage to Nagasaki.
Most of the content of their conversation was about the Song Empire in the Americas.
Oh, yes. For the Song Empire, although they were full of hope and longing. But after all, they are not really familiar with everything there, so it is normal to be a little apprehensive in their hearts.
Fortunately, Wang Fuzi and Liu Dascar had told about the Americas before, so they would not make everyone hesitate and fear the Americas.
Amami Island has become empty since then. It became a desert island.
This is only temporary, and the geographical advantages here in Amami Island are still there, so Li Xiang will definitely set up a base for the sailor here in the future, but it will be a matter of time and later. Now Li Xiang hasn't thought about it.
When Li Xiang took the survivors to Nagasaki, it was already midnight.
The people of Amami Island on the ship, after a while. The tiredness invaded the whole body.
So, when midnight came, they all fell asleep.
Among them, there were quite a few wounded, and they were all properly accommodated.
This is also due to the fact that the Song Empire has a lot of special medicines, otherwise according to the medical level of this era, such as the wounded in naval battles, at least eighty percent of them will not survive.
Li Xiang was not idle at this time, he was patrolling back and forth on his warship, and from time to time he went to check on the wounded.
When he saw the sailors and medical staff of the Song Empire, skillfully treating the wounded, he was relieved.
When the people of Amami Island first boarded the Imperial battleship, they were all shocked by the height of the Imperial battleship and the number of guns.
They had no idea that the Imperial warships could be loaded with so many guns, and the muzzles of these guns were not small.
I don't know how the Song Empire got it, the warship is so strong.
Just seeing the warships of the Song Empire made the people of Amami Island have many illusions about the Song Empire at once.
Their reaction was actually no different from Li Xiang a few days ago.
At that time, after Li Xiang saw the warships of the Song Empire in the port of Nagasaki, his reaction was similar to that of these brothers.
Kerosene lamps were lit on the ship, and the hood was hung on the ship's pole, among other things.
So although it was a midnight sea voyage, it was not dark at all on board.
Li Xiang came to the deck wearing a thick skin and looked up at the starry sky.
"Uncle, everything has been done now. In the future, we should follow the Song Empire, there should be nothing wrong. As Li Xiang's nephew, Yang Biao is inseparable. Although the Imperial ships did not fight for too long in today's naval battle, I was already impressed by the power they displayed. ”
Li Xiang retracted her gaze and nodded slowly.
"Yes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, today I have thoroughly comprehended the power of the Song Empire's warships." , Li Xiang also agrees with what his nephew said. He was on a warship at the time, and experienced first-hand the rampage of the Imperial warships. Scenes of artillery platoons bombarding the enemy.
The enemy ships that were hit by artillery were basically destroyed after a round of shelling.
Such a power is impossible for even the Southern Barbarians he knows of the Dao to do.
"Uncle will be the admiral of the navy in Kyushu in the future, and there will definitely be many warships like this. Won't those ships be ours at that time, so that there is no need to be afraid of Zheng Zhilong. ”
Yang Biao whispered to Li Xiang.
Yes, as long as there are a hundred such warships, he can crisscross the eastern coast.
At that time, Zheng Zhilong was nothing.
"Biaozi, Uncle told you something tonight, you must remember, otherwise you will have something wrong and endanger yourself. It's going to affect me, too. ”
When she noticed that her nephew was a little fluttery at this time, Li Xiang felt that she should talk about him well.
Because Li Xiang heard something from his nephew's words, as if he felt that the imperial warships in the future would be his own.
This is a very wrong idea.
If he doesn't reverse Yang Biao's concept and give him a good reminder.
I can't say when Yang Biao will make a big mistake in the future.
You know, now they weren't free pirates.
Now they have taken refuge in the Song Empire, that is, they have taken refuge in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
To put it nicely, I found a backer to make my life more comfortable. The pressure was transferred to the crown prince, and he was left to carry it.
But if it's something that doesn't sound good, it's that they've already made dogs for other people.
This man has to consider something in his position. And be very clear about what you should do.
Li Xiang, who is accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves and has a lot of experience, is very clear about her positioning.
However, Yang Biao is obvious. It seems that there is no such enlightenment.
This is very dangerous for him.
And if you don't pay attention, there is a good chance that it will explode in the future. And even if you are burdened, you will eat and hang up together.
Li Xiang is already old, and he just wants to live a stable life.
He didn't want to continue with those thrilling days.
At his age, it's actually normal to have such thoughts.
But Yang Biao is young.
He has ambition and drive, and these are good things.
If you don't have ambition to be a pirate, then sooner or later you will be meat in someone else's bowl.
The problem is, now they're no longer pirates.
Therefore, ambition should be put away and become self-motivated.
The momentum is also reined in, otherwise it will be easy to offend people.
"Uncle, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Yang Biao saw that his uncle had a serious face, and he also put away his hippie smile and became serious.
"Biaozi, I'm your uncle. Your mother died young, and after entrusting you to me, I had to keep you safe. ”
Li Xiang looked at Yang Biao with an extremely dignified tone and attitude and said very seriously.
"What I want to say to you is that from today onwards you have to put away your gangsterism. Now we are no longer pirates, but generals of the Kyushu Naval Division of the Song Empire with official status. And we are all to obey the command of the crown prince, and we will look after him as the head of the horse. ”
"Don't look at me as the Admiral of the Navy in Kyushu, but to put it mildly, it's someone's dog. And being a dog is still in our hands, so we have to recognize this reality. ”
Li Xiang's words were a little ugly.
So Yang Biao wanted to refute it.
However, Yang Biao just opened his mouth and didn't speak, when Li Xiang raised his hand to interrupt the conversation.
"Don't contradict me, just think about it later." , Li Xiang's expression was very serious and serious. When Yang Biao saw his uncle like this, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.
"Your Highness said that you will transfer ships from the Americas to replenish the strength of the Kyushu Navy, but you must also recognize a reality, that is, those warships are not our private, but the ships of the Song Empire in the Americas. So don't say what you just said, and remember that. ”
Yes, the warships of the Empire, how could they be their private.
Therefore, what Yang Biao said just now is easy to make people think crookedly.
Once someone has a heart to use this as a stubble, it will make a big deal.
As Li Xiang of the old rivers and lakes, but until the severity of this sentence.
"You have to recognize your identity and status, and think twice before you do what you say and do in the future. You must remember that the trouble caused by your actions alone is not only for you to bear, but also for many people around you, relatives, friends, and brothers. ”
What Li Xiang said was all good words, which can be described as well-intentioned.
However, as for whether Yang Biao can listen to it, only God knows what to say.
Fortunately, Li Xiang understands his nephew, and he knows that Yang Biao is not the kind of person who does not listen to persuasion.
This is also one of Yang Biao's biggest advantages.
And the most important meaning of what Li Xiang said to Yang Biao today is that he wants his nephew to recognize the current situation and correct his position in the future to do things and speak.
In this way, a lot of trouble can be avoided.
is as smart as Yang Biao, after listening to what his uncle said, he filtered these words in his mind. Immediately, he came to his senses.
Isn't it, what I just said is very taboo.
They are no longer pirates.
Moreover, in the future, his uncle's fleet will also be disbanded, and those old brothers who are willing to join the sailors will join in, and give them a position according to their ability.
If you don't want to join, then go to the Song Empire in the Americas to be a landlord.
And the future sailor, his uncle will not be able to say everything like now.
Their identity will be the generals of the Song Empire in Kyushu, and they will no longer be free pirates.
That person's method is to eat other people's mouths short.
Now that they have embarked on this path, they can no longer think with the thinking of a pirate when they think about problems in the future.
Otherwise, you'll get into big trouble.
After thinking about this, Yang Biao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Thank you Uncle for the point, I know. In the future, I know what to do, and I will also correct my mentality and position, and I will not cause trouble for everyone, especially you. ”
"Do you really get it?"
Li Xiang asked seriously again.
Yang Biao nodded solemnly: "I really understand." Now we are all the generals of the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty, the people who receive the silver, and the sailors belong to the imperial court, not our own. We should think from the side of the court when we speak and do things, not for ourselves......"
Li Xiang nodded with satisfaction while listening to his nephew Yang Biao's words.
Apparently, he really understood.
Li Xiang was relieved.
Immediately, Li Xiang felt that after arriving in Nagasaki, he needed to tell all the old brothers who wanted to join the sailor that his nephew Yang Biao had such thoughts, didn't anyone else have them?
I have to explain it, and it will be difficult for everyone to do it in the future.
Li Xiang made a decision in her heart...... (To be continued......)
