Whether to save him or not was a problem.
Anyone who knew a little about the history of the late Ming Dynasty knew that the only famous member of the Zheng family in Fujian during this period was Zheng Zhilong.
Speaking of Zheng Zhilong, perhaps most people didn't know much about him, but when it came to Zheng Zhilong's biological son, Zheng Chenggong, everyone knew that he was the one who expelled the Dutch, recovered Taiwan, and was recorded in history books. National hero.
However, what was unknown was that Zheng Sen, also known as Zheng Chenggong, was of mixed Chinese and Japanese descent. His mother was Japanese, and his young name was Fu Song. In the 17th year of Chongzhen, he studied under Qian Qianyi, whose scalp was itchy and the water was too cold.
After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, his powerful father decided to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but he parted ways with his father and insisted on fighting against the Qing Dynasty with his life as a goal.
In the second year of Chongzhen, Zheng Sen was still a five-year-old child living in Hirado, Japan.
Speaking of which, Zheng Zhilong's current strength had not reached the peak of history. At the peak of history, he relied on selling trade flags to collect money and monopolized trade with Japan and Southeast Asia. His total annual income once exceeded 10 million taels of silver, which was much higher than Chongzhen's pitiful financial income.
Before he killed the other sea bandits and became a true sea giant, he now mainly operated the trade route to Japan.
Someone suggested saving people. "If we go to the Zheng family's organization and bring the Zheng family's people back to stupid port, we might get a discount when we sell the goods.”
"That makes sense. We have seized three ships and we need someone to drive them for us.
"What if they're on the road. What are you doing?
"Scared my ass! If they dared to cause trouble, they would all be killed! If they were obedient, they would give them a way out.
"If it were up to me, we might as well kill them too. We'll snatch all the goods floating on the sea and destroy their corpses. Anyway, they're all yellow names above their heads. We won't be able to deduct much achievement points. Moreover, the Zheng family won't know if we kill them.”
The Zheng Family sailors were struggling with buckets and wooden planks. They shouted for help in the direction of the High Official, hoping that the crew of the High Official would be kind enough to save them.
The players were all talking at once, and the number of people who wanted to save or not to save him was split into seven to three.
At this moment, a player who looked like a wandering swordsman stood up and said,"Someone once said: We must unite all the forces that can be united. We must make more friends and make fewer enemies."
Therefore, under the strong persuasion of this sentence, the opposing players acquiesced to the Salvation Party's proposal.
More than a hundred sailors were brought onto the Big Official. Of course, in order to prevent them from turning the tables, they were put under house arrest on the seized ships. They were sealed in the cabins of four ships. Each ship had dozens of people under house arrest, guarded by twenty players. The leaders of the sailors were all gathered on the Big Official. They would not dare to make trouble in the face of dozens of guns and spears. Before they arrived at the port, they only gave the sailors some dry rations to keep them from starving.
Just as the new fleet of four ships set sail for Dumbo Harbor, a burly man with a scar on his face cupped his hands and said in a powerful voice,"I am Zheng Zhihu. Thank you for your help."
"Zheng Zhihu?"
Liu Qi was slightly stunned. The other players looked at each other in disbelief.
Zheng Zhihu was Zheng Zhilong's younger brother, and he was an important subordinate that the latter relied on greatly. In history, he died in the eighth year of Chongzhen (1635). That was the last naval battle when Zheng Zhilong exterminated Liu Xiang. Zheng Zhihu, this boorish man, rushed to the front and dragged the rope to Liu Xiang's ship to fight crazily. Liu Xiang set up an ambush and caught him with a fishing net and threw him into the sea to drown.
Liu Xiang was not having a good time either. He knew that he would not have a good death if he was captured alive by Zheng Zhilong, so he committed suicide when his entire army was defeated and he was in despair.
However, Zheng Zhihu was still alive and well at this time. He was in his twenties and was in his prime.
"In order to save you, we injured more than twenty brothers. You have to give some gold and silver to reward your brothers, right?”A player jumped out and said bluntly,
"A drop of water should be repaid with a spring, and a life-saving grace should be repaid even more.
Each warrior will receive fifty taels of silver as a reward.
Give it to me, and give 200 taels to each of my dead brothers.
Some players couldn't help but feel embarrassed when they heard about such a generous reward. Each person would receive fifty taels of silver, and brothers who died in battle would receive two hundred taels of silver as compensation!
Fifty taels of silver for each surviving warrior, that was more than eighty people, more than four thousand taels of silver! More than 20 people had died in battle, which was more than 4,000 taels of silver. The compensation for those who had died in battle would naturally have to be brought back by their teammates. Some players would even split it with their army teammates.
This was equivalent to saving an important person. Every player's income would increase by an average of 90 taels!
Are the Zheng family really f * cking rich? No wonder Zheng Zhilong would become the future overlord of Min Sea. Just based on this generous generosity, who wouldn't be willing to work for him!
There were even players who turned their backs and hammered their hammers and stomped their feet, hating themselves for not being brave enough to burn the enemy's ships with gunpowder cans. Some players wished that they could cause fatal injuries on the spot and become one of the beneficiary of the compensation. It was a pity that they were a step too late and did not become the lucky L who had " won the grand prize."
To put it in an exaggerated way, whenever a company offered an annual salary of tens of millions, employees would be eager to beg the boss to give them the opportunity to work overtime every day. When criticizing others for slacking off and not working hard, he first looked at whether the salary he gave was attractive.
Even though they had yet to receive any substantial rewards, the players had already started to call Zheng Zhihu their brother. They kept calling him Brother Tiger and President Zheng. Zheng Zhihu's mind was in a daze, and he did not understand what these weirdos were up to.
...
The sea to Stupid Harbor was smooth sailing. The players quickly arrived at Stupid Harbor with four ships.
The Zheng family's influence in this area had not completely declined. The various clan leaders and village leaders had to give the Zheng family some face, so Zheng Zhihu's benefactors were warmly welcomed by the stupid port. Not only did they receive the rewards promised by Zheng Zhihu on the same day, but they also sold all the goods on the ship at a discounted price.
No matter how much the other divisions benefited, the total profit of the Firefighting Battalion's trip to the sea exceeded 1000 taels.
It was not a problem to buy a 200-ton boat and load it with rice.
One had to know that Bengang was a newly developed area, so the output of grain was relatively abundant. The price of a stone of rice was about 8 coins, while the price of grain on the mainland had risen to 1.2 taels. The price of grain in Shaanxi, which was suffering from drought, had even soared to 3 taels.
Houjin was even worse. As the Little Ice Age had also affected Houjin, Houjin was seriously lacking in supplies. They were willing to purchase food from smugglers inside the pass at the price of 10 taels per stone.
(Because there is a lot of information about the Ming Dynasty, I am not sure which one to use as the standard, so one stone of rice is roughly 120! This catty was 596.8 grams in the Ming Dynasty. 1 jin =16 taels, 1 tael =10 money, 1 money =10 points)
In this last dynasty where natural disasters were everywhere, selling food, salt, and other necessities of life was a good business. The premise was that they had enough transportation and powerful weapons to defend themselves.
J Xiu, who had earned a lot of benefits from going out to sea, stood at the dock. Then, he enthusiastically and confidently said to the ecstatic players,"Brothers! I have a proposal!
