"Biaozi, I feel the same way you said."

After Yang Biao finished speaking, Li Xiang sighed and then looked at her nephew with a little lonely look.

"Actually, I was very moved." Li Xiang changed into a small face and tried her best to show her calmness. "To be honest, if possible, I actually want to be like everyone else, and I just want to be a Zhao Song household registration. In fact, many years ago, I thought about not being a pirate anymore, but wanting to go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a rich man."

Li Xiang began to speak his heartfeltly to her nephew.

Yes, Li Xiang was tired of the life she is now in the early years.

Moreover, he kept in contact with the Ming Dynasty, hoping to obtain the court's revenge.

Unfortunately, the Zhao'an boss appointed by the imperial court had his own little plan.

No one knew that the boss in charge of Zhao'an actually wanted to squeeze Li Xiang dry and kill him after he knew that Li Xiang was rich.

Fortunately, there was no agreement at that time, otherwise Li Xiang would not know how she died.

Even now, he still doesn't know about this.

Otherwise, he would definitely be scared to sweat.

How could it be so easy to recruit peace?

Especially when the imperial court sent a greedy guy, it would be even more impossible.

In the Ming Dynasty, let alone Li Xiang, a pirate leader.

In the eyes of those big guys, he was just an insignificant little shrimp.

If he had killed him at that time, then he would have died.

No one will pursue anything for this.

This is really normal in the Ming Dynasty.

Even some border troops often kill good people and make achievements.

Although that time was not successful, Li Xiang kept working hard.

Unfortunately, after the reunion was not completed, the court no longer cared about Li Xiang.

Some bigwigs who had a little friendship with Li Xiang also changed their attitudes one after another.

Li Xiang didn't understand the reason inside, but he thought it should be related to Zheng Zhilong.

However, Li Xiang's intention to be good at doing good will never stop.

Just as Master Wang said, Li Xiang wanted to be a good person not for himself, but for his family and children.

Although he is a pirate, he seems to be very nourishing.

But that's all on the surface. Only Li Xiang himself knows whether it is really uncomfortable or not.

Being a pirate actually has many restrictions.

Whether it is the coast of the Daming Dynasty, Japan or Goryeo, if Li Xiang wants to enter the city, he must handle everything well.

It doesn't mean you can get in just by wanting it.

At the same time, he was worried about whether he would meet someone who betrayed him, and he lived a very worried and uncomfortable life.

It can be said that it is not as free as outsiders.

So, most of the time, Li Xiang and his men stay on Amami Island.

But Amami Island is just a small island after all, and there is no need to mention the products and other products.

What they eat and drink on the island needs to buy from others at a high price, otherwise they will all starve to death.

Li Xiang has long been tired of this kind of life because she is not free and lives a lot of crisis.

Moreover, he is a pirate, and his family will also bear the reputation of a pirate.

For example, although his son was studying, he could not take the exam, so it was useless to read it.

His daughter is older and can't find her husband's house.

All of this is because he is a pirate.

If they can become good people, then Li Xiang feels that his family can change their way of living.

His son passed the exam and even found a wife who was the only one who was a member of his duties.

Your own daughter can also find a good family in-laws and live a happy life.

But if they remained on Amami Island, it would be impossible to do this.

There are pirates on the island, can't my son also find a female pirate?

Or will your own daughter marry a pirate who lost his life at sea at some point?

No!

Such a thing must never happen.

Li Xiang doesn't want her family to live the same life as hers.

So, he needs a chance to change all this.

Besides, Li Xiang, who has been a giant sea bandit for decades, has gained a huge reputation.

He has made enough money.

As long as he can be a good citizen, he will be confident that he can keep his family safe from food and clothing.

Even if your son’s journey to fame and fortune is not going well, it doesn’t matter.

After finding a wife to give birth to a child, you can raise a grandson.

In this way, will we complete the evolutionary path from pirates to officials?

It can be said that Li Xiang’s idea is no different from most people on Amami Island.

But he didn't have a chance.

Now, such an opportunity suddenly appeared, Li Xiang couldn't believe it anymore.

He felt that there was no pie falling from the sky in this world, so he felt that he could not perform too much.

Therefore, when Master Wang conveyed the meaning of the crown prince of the Song Empire, he did not agree or refuse.

In fact, Li Xiang just thought too much, so she was just worried about gains and losses.

"Uncle, do you agree with me?"

Yang Biao widened his eyes and looked at Li Xiang.

Li Xiang grinned at her nephew's silly look: "No one will not be moved. I am also a human, so there is nothing strange about me."

After a brief period of loss of consciousness, Yang Biao immediately recovered.

"Uncle, since that's the case, why didn't you agree to Master Wang at that time?" Yang Biao was a little surprised by this, so he asked.

Li Xiang raised her hand and waved: "Come on, come next to me, let me tell you well, so that you can save you from being confused."

Yang Biao walked over and made it to another chair beside Li Xiang, then looked sideways and seriously as Li Xiang waited for what he was going to say below.

After Yang Biao sat down, Li Xiang slowly said: "You understand the situation we are facing now. We are already at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Zheng Zhilong. Although we have obtained the 19 warships of the crown prince, have you ever thought that this kind of warship is its artillery. However, there are very few shells on the ship, and at most we can support a naval battle. Don't you think there is some problem here?"

After Li Xiang said this, Yang Biao remembered this problem.

That's right, he is just thinking about the nineteen warships these days, and paying attention to the affairs on the island.

I never thought about this matter.

Everyone knows that European warships are powerful, but they are powerful enough to wear cannons.

But the problem is that if those artillery guns are not covered with shells, then they are just a pile of scrap copper and iron that is useless.

"Uncle, do you mean?"

Yang Biao seemed to understand something.

Li Xiang nodded: "That crown prince is not stupid, he controls the shells."

Li Xiang guessed the intention of the American crown prince.

First of all, Zhao Hongyu gave him 19 warships to show kindness.

In other words, telling Li Xiang that he has no malice towards him can be friends.

And these nineteen warships are a meeting ceremony.

Of course, this gift was quite generous, and at least Li Xiang really accepted this love.

To put it less, these nineteen warships also cost 2 million taels of silver.

Moreover, even if you have two million taels of silver, you may not be able to buy this European warship.

Europeans are not stupid either. They know what they rely on in the East. It is nothing more than their more advanced warships. Without this ship, they would not have the same kind of chaotic situation in the East.

Therefore, it is impossible for them to sell ships.

Even, many times, they rarely sell artillery.
