Chapter 899: Frightened and Inexplicable
The sky is full of stars, and the sea is brightly lit. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoMore than a dozen merchant ships have been repaired, each ship has been assigned basic personnel to ensure the safety of the ship, the six pirate ships that were captured, only one of them was lit up, and all the pirates who were captured were about 800 people, except for the leader, all of them were concentrated in one ship and stuffed into the cabin, sandwiched between the Taiping and the Changyang.
After being rescued, they confirmed that there were only 800 combat sailors on the two warships, but they killed more than 2,000 pirates and captured almost the same number of pirates in the first battle, and their own casualties were extremely limited. It's not just a refinement, it's a complete grinding.
This result almost shattered their previous beliefs, when will the naval battle be like this?
Of course, he didn't know that on top of these two warships, there were two terrifying gathering of grandmaster-level figures. The role of the Grandmaster in large-scale battlefield battles is limited, but in such a naval battle, dealing with a group of pirates who have no concept of battle formation is really a big kill. Of course, the superb naval combat skills of Zhou Li and his son, and the super-lethal repeating crossbow machine of the Ming Dynasty are also the most direct factors that caused this result.
Of course, this kind of combat effectiveness made Ning Ergong even more determined, no matter what, he would also become an ally with this force. Whether it's because of his family's infighting, or to fulfill his dreams in the future.
Convincing Zhou Li is still the first step. Since that person tried his best to win over Zhou Li, he said that he didn't have too many naval combat talents under his command, but Zhou Li had an incense relationship with himself, as long as Zhou Li was moved, this matter would only become more than half.
Ning Ergongzi, who was walking on the way to Zhou Li's cabin to attend the banquet, was still thinking about how to convince Zhou Li, and of course, he also had to consider the price he needed to pay.
There is no free lunch in the world, the stronger the opponent's strength, the more he needs to pay, but Ning Ergongzi thought about it and finally came to a conclusion that as long as he can let the other party join his camp, what he will get in the end will be far beyond what he pays.
Zhou Li stood in front of the cabin door and watched with a smile as Ning Ergongzi and He Ying approached.
"How dare Uncle Lao Zhou greet him at the door?" Ning Ergongzi clenched his fists and became more and more polite.
"It should be, it should be." Zhou Li smiled. "Second son, Brother He, please, please inside."
The captain's cabin is naturally much larger than the ordinary sailor's cabin, the area is about three ordinary cabin-sized rooms, there is a low table and a few felt blankets on the ground, and a young man is sitting leisurely on the felt blankets, looking at the few people who came in with a smile.
Seeing that person's face, Ning Ergongzi was stunned, that person he had seen during the day, standing behind Zhou Li, at that time he thought that this was just one of Zhou Li's subordinates, but now, that person sat on top of the head in a grand manner.
"Second Master Ning, please take a seat!" Qin Feng pointed to the seat opposite him and said with a smile.
Ning Ergongzi was speechless, glanced at Zhou Li, and found that he was also looking at him with a smile, and seemed to understand something in his heart, the person in front of him was only afraid that it was the person behind Zhou Li's mouth.
"It turns out that you are the big proprietor who invited Uncle Zhou over, it was really rude during the day, and you haven't asked for your name yet?" Ning Ergongzi clenched his fists and said.
Qin Feng laughed and looked at Ning Ergongzi with interest: "The surname is Qin, and the name is Feng." ”
Qin Feng? Ning Ergongzi quickly searched for the familiar maritime merchant in his mind, confirmed that there was no name of this person, turned his head to look at his uncle He Ying beside him, but found that He Ying's face became pale at this moment.
Looking at his uncle's face, Ning Ergongzi's head banged, and he suddenly remembered a person, and the whole person was immediately petrified on the spot.
"Second Prince Ning, Brother He, the one in front of you is His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom." Zhou Li smiled and confirmed Qin Feng's identity to the two.
Ning Er Gongzi finally reacted, no wonder Zhou Li was doing well in the Ning family, and under the situation that he tried his best to win over, he turned around without a sound, and turned away without hesitation, it turned out that the person in front of him was calling him, the Ning family was strong, and he was in Corporal Lixian, and he had the appeal of the emperor of a country.
Ning Ergongzi no longer hesitated, knelt on his knees, folded his hands in front of him, and tentacled his forehead: "Chu people Ning Zeyuan has seen His Majesty the Ming Emperor." ”
Behind him, He Ying also knelt down honestly.
"Zhou Li, help the two distinguished guests up for me." Qin Feng nodded, but he didn't put on a pretentious posture like a corporal of Lixian, but now it was the other party who asked for it. "Second son, please take a seat."
"Don't dare to be called Your Majesty, Your Majesty can call the grass people Ning Zeyuan." Ning Ergongzi got up and carefully knelt opposite Qin Feng, while Zhou Li invited He Ying to sit on both sides to accompany him.
Ning Er Gongzi can also be regarded as the number one person, except for the previous sudden knowledge of Qin Feng's identity and lost color, in a short period of time, at least on the surface, he has returned to normal. Looking at Qin Feng's smiling face, he was secretly complaining in his heart.
He wanted to beg Zhou Li to join him and help him, but now he regretted it, if Zhou Li and the person behind him were just pirates who wanted to get rich, then with the strength and prestige of the Ning family, he was not afraid of anything, as long as he was in charge of the power of the Ning family, no matter how strong the other party was, he could also fight and form an alliance. But when the person opposite is an emperor and sits on a country, what is the Ning family?
The Ning family is indeed rich and powerful at sea, but in front of the state machine, it can only be regarded as a small worm, and there is no room for resistance.
The previous person didn't see himself, he was afraid that he was too lazy to pay attention to himself, but now he was sitting in front of him, just afraid that he was already interested in himself. No, it's because he's interested in the Ning family, Ning Zeyuan knows how much weight he has, and he also knows that he can meet this legendary emperor just because of his surname Ning.
An emperor.
An emperor who valued the sailors.
An emperor who actually went into battle to play the role of a pirate.
Ning Ergongzi's mind was booming, and it seemed that a bright light occasionally flashed, but in the face of this huge impact, he always couldn't grasp it.
Looking at Ning Er Gongzi opposite, Qin Feng was very satisfied in his heart, he knew that the person opposite who was about the same age as himself was very confused in his mind at this time, but with this composure, it was already very rare. It seems that he is a person worth nurturing.
"Second son, originally, I didn't plan to see you." Qin Feng spoke, and Ning Ergongzi immediately sat up straight and listened attentively.
"But after listening to Zhou Li's relayed your request, I thought about it, I can still help with this favor." Qin Feng Dao.
Ning Ergongzi took a deep breath, the other party was willing to help, but he was afraid that he would not dare to accept it now. Trading with a country, the final result is that the Ning family will have no bones.
"Your Majesty, it's the grass people Meng Lang. The grass people still thought that Uncle Zhou was still doing what he used to do, but he didn't expect that Uncle Zhou was now flying on the sycamore and becoming a phoenix. Although Ning Ergongzi was tactful, he refused very simply, and He Ying's eyes on the side also showed that this was indeed the case.
Like Ning Ergongzi, he is absolutely unwilling to deal with the government.
Qin Feng laughed, looked at Ning Ergongzi, and said with a smile: "Do you think that the second prince is willing to help you, because I have taken a fancy to Ning's family property, and I want to put a long line to catch big fish, so that I can catch them all in the future?" ”
"This, of course not." Ning Ergongzi's face turned red, he really thought so in his heart, but he couldn't admit it no matter what. "Your Majesty is rich all over the world, and Ning's little wealth can enter His Majesty's eyes."
"Then you are wrong, Daming Caochuang, it has only been more than four years, and he has been fighting for many years, and it is not easy to stabilize the situation, if you really want to talk about wealth, I am the emperor, compared to your Ning family, it is far inferior. At least, my inner vault is often empty. Qin Feng laughed.
"The grass people also have a little wealth, this time I bothered Your Majesty to rescue, after I go back, I am willing to dedicate my money to Your Majesty, and enrich Your Majesty's inner treasury!" Ning Ergongzi gritted his teeth and said.
Qin Feng laughed and looked at Zhou Li, "General Zhou, Ning Ergongzi Zhenzhen has become a robber who robs the house." ”
Zhou Li smiled and bowed: "The second son saw His Majesty for the first time, and he didn't know His Majesty's grand wishes, so he naturally had such thoughts. ”
Ning Zeyuan's face was sweating, and his proposal was not in the right eyes at all.
"Second son, after listening to Zhou Li's introduction, I also know that you are indeed exhausted now, and even He Ying, who is the only one in the Ning clan who supports you, now has nothing." Qin Feng glanced at He Ying, who was sitting on his right, "As for the young people in the Ning clan who support you, it is even more difficult to count on, if you give up my support, from now on in the Ning clan, you can only obediently be your second young master, talking about a few acres of thin fields and a few shops to live, of course, if your eldest brother is willing to let you live." ”
Ning Zeyuan's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head.
"Don't you want your dreams? Crisscross the seas and be the world's greatest pirate! Qin Feng looked at each other with a smile.
"Your Majesty!" Ning Zeyuan looked at Qin Feng in confusion, he couldn't imagine that an emperor with a noble status would have no scruples about pirates, which was obviously a thing to avoid. Of course, he didn't want to give up his dream, but if this dream would completely destroy the Ning family, then he could only give up.
"Although the Ning family is rich, I haven't put that bit of wealth in my eyes yet, as long as I want it, I can accumulate countless wealth in an instant." Qin Feng said lightly. "Second Prince Ning, if you can't guess my intentions here, to be honest, then this transaction between me and you, or cooperation, is not necessary at all."
