Chapter eight hundred and ninety nine: horrified
There were stars in the sky and the sea surface was brightly lit. More than ten merchant ships had been repaired, and each ship was assigned basic personnel to ensure the safety of the ship. Only one of the captured six pirate ships had lights on. There were about 800 pirates who were caught. Except for the leader, they were all concentrated in a boat and stuffed into the cabin, sandwiched between the Taiping and Changyang.
This battle almost blinded the eyes of Young Master Ning and He Ying. After being rescued, they confirmed that there were only 800 combat sailors on the two warships, but in one battle they killed more than 2,000 pirates and captured almost the same number of pirates as them, and their casualties were extremely limited. This was not just a perfection, it was a complete crush.
This result almost collapsed their previous beliefs. When will the naval battle be like this?
Of course, he didn't know that two master-level figures gathered on these two warships. The master has limited role in large-scale battlefield battles, but in such a naval battle, dealing with a group of pirates without a concept of a battle formation is really a big killing. Of course, Zhou Li and his son's superb maritime combat skills, and the Ming Dynasty's superb lethality of the crossbow shooting machine are also the most direct factors that cause this battle result.
Of course, such combat power made Ning Ergong even more determined to become an ally with this force no matter what. Whether it was because of the internal struggle of his family or to fulfill his future dream.
Convincing Zhou Li was still the first step. Since the man tried every means to win over Zhou Li, he said that he did not have many naval warfare talents under his command, but Zhou Li and himself were intrigued. As long as Zhou Li was intent, this matter would probably be halfway.
The second young master Ning, who was walking to Zhou Li's cabin to attend the banquet, was still talking about how to convince Zhou Li. Of course, he had to consider the price he had to pay.
There is no free lunch in the world. The stronger the opponent is, the more you need to pay. However, after thinking about it, Mr. Ning finally came to a conclusion that as long as the opponent can join his camp, what he will get in the end will be far more than what he has paid.
Zhou Li stood in front of the cabin door and watched as Mr. Ning and He Ying approached with a smile.
"How dare you please Uncle Zhou greet him at the door?" Young Master Ning clasped his fists and became more polite.
"It's OK, it's OK." Zhou Li smiled happily. "Second Young Master, Brother He, please, please come inside."
The captain's cabin is naturally much larger than that of ordinary sailors. It is about the size of three ordinary cabins. There are short tables and several felt blankets on the ground. A young man was sitting cross-legged on the felt blanket leisurely, looking at the people coming in with a smile.
Seeing the man's face, the second young master Ning was stunned. He had seen the man during the day and stood behind Zhou Li. At that time, he thought this was just a subordinate of Zhou Li, but now, the man sat on the upper head in a grand manner.
"Second Young Master Ning, please sit down!" Qin Feng pointed to the seat opposite him and said with a smile.
Young Master Ning was stunned and glanced at Zhou Li, and found that he was also looking at him with a smile. He seemed to understand something in his heart. The person in front of him was probably the person behind Zhou Li's mouth.
"So you are the boss who invited Uncle Zhou to come. Bai Tian is really rude. Haven't you asked for the name of Zun's surname?" Mr. Ning bowed with fists and said.
Qin Feng laughed and looked at the second young master Ning with interest: "I'm a surname Qin and a name Feng."
Qin Feng and the second young master of Ning quickly searched the familiar maritime businessman in his mind, and confirmed that he did not have the name of this person. He turned to look at his uncle He Ying beside him, but found that He Ying's face turned pale in this moment.
Looking at his uncle's face, the second young master Ning's head buzzed, and suddenly he thought of someone, and his whole body suddenly became petrified on the spot.
"The second young master Ning, Brother He, the person in front of him is His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty." Zhou Li smiled and confirmed Qin Feng's identity to the two of them.
The second young master Ning finally reacted. No wonder Zhou Li was doing well in Ning's family. He turned around without any nostalgia when he tried his best to win over him. It turned out that the person in front of him was calling him. Ning's family was strong and he was respectful to the wise and inferior. How could he have the appeal of the emperor of a country?
The second young master Ning no longer hesitated, knelt on his knees, folded his hands in front of him, and used his forehead tentacles: "The Chu man Ning Zeyuan, and he had seen His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."
Behind him, He Ying also knelt down honestly.
"Zhou Li, help the two distinguished guests for me." Qin Feng nodded, and did not act pretentiously as a respectful and polite person. Now the other party is the one who wants it. "Second Young Master, please sit down."
"I dare not be called your Majesty. Your Majesty can just call the grass people Ning Zeyuan." The second young master Ning got up and knelt carefully opposite Qin Feng. Zhou Li invited He Ying to sit on both sides.
Young Master Ning is also considered the number one figure. In addition to his sudden discovery of Qin Feng's identity, he had at least returned to normal on the surface in a short period of time. Looking at Qin Feng's smiling face, he was secretly complaining in his heart.
He had wanted to ask 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 make a fortune, then with the strength and prestige of the Ning family, he would not be afraid of anything. As long as he took over the power of the Ning family, no matter how strong the other party was, he could compete with each other and form an alliance. But when the person opposite was an emperor and lived in a country, what was the Ning family?
The Ning family is indeed rich enough to rival a country and is strong at sea, but in front of the state machine, it can only be regarded as a small bug with no room for resistance. It is tantamount to fighting with such an opponent.
The man hadn't seen him before, so he was afraid he was too lazy to pay attention to him. But now he was sitting in front of him in a noble manner, so he was already interested in him. No, he was interested in the Ning family. Ning Zeyuan knew how much he was and knew that he could meet this legendary emperor because his surname was Ning.
An emperor.
An emperor who values the navy.
An emperor who actually played the role of a pirate himself.
The second young master Ning's mind roared, and it seemed that a light flashed occasionally, but in the face of this huge impact, he could never catch it.
Looking at the second young master Ning opposite, Qin Feng was very satisfied. He knew that the person on the other side, who was about the same age as him, was very confused, but it was already rare to have this calmness. It seemed that he was a person worthy of support.
"Second Young Master, I didn't plan to see you." Qin Feng spoke, and the second Young Master Ning immediately sat upright and listened with scrutiny.
"But after listening to your request conveyed by Zhou Li, I thought about it and I can still help you with this busyness." Qin Feng said.
The second young master Ning took a deep breath. The other party was willing to help, but he was afraid that he would not dare to accept it now. The final result of dealing with a country was that the Ning family would be invisible.
"Your Majesty, it's the grass-roots man Meng Lang. The grass-roots man thought Uncle Zhou was still doing his previous business, but he didn't expect Uncle Zhou to fly to the sycamore tree and turn into a phoenix. We dirty things really don't dare to work on Your Majesty's great power." Although the second young master Ning was tactful, he refused very simply. He Ying's eyes showed that this was indeed the same.
Like the second young master Ning, he was never willing to deal with the government.
Qin Feng laughed, looked at Master Ning's second son and said with a smile: "Does the second son think that I am willing to help you because I am interested in Ning's family property. I want to take a long line to catch big fish so that I can catch them all in one place in the future?"
"This, of course this is not." Young Master Ning's face turned red. He did think so in his heart, but he could not admit it no matter what. "Your Majesty is rich in all over the world. Ning's little wealth can be seen by Your Majesty's eyes."
"Then you are wrong. The Ming Dynasty was founded and has only been more than four years since then. It has been fighting for many years. It has finally stabilized the situation. If you really want to talk about wealth, I, the emperor, is far inferior to your Ning family. At least, my inner treasury is often empty." Qin Feng laughed.
"The grass people still have some money. I'm worried about your Majesty's rescue. After returning, I'm willing to give your money to your Majesty to enrich your Majesty's inner trunk!" Mr. Ning gritted his teeth and said.
Qin Feng laughed and looked at Zhou Li, "General Zhou, the second young master Ning really thinks it is a robber who is robbing the family."
Zhou Li smiled and bowed: "The second young master met Your Majesty for the first time, but he didn't know that Your Majesty had great wishes, so he naturally had such an idea."
Ning Zeyuan's face was sweating, and his proposal was not at all obvious to him.
"Second Young Master, after listening to Zhou Li's introduction, I also know that you are really at the end of your life now. Even He Ying, the only one who supports you in the Ning clan, has nothing now." Qin Feng glanced at He Ying sitting on his right head. "As for those young people in the Ning clan who support you, it is even hard to count on. If you give up my support, you can only be your second young master obediently in the Ning clan, talking about a few acres of thin fields and a few shops to live. Of course, if your elder brother is willing to let you have a way out."
Ning Zeyuan's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head.
"Do you want your dream? You can be the biggest pirate in the world across the sea!" Qin Feng looked at the other party with a smile.
"Your Majesty!" Ning Zeyuan looked at Qin Feng in confusion. He could not imagine that an emperor with a noble status would even scruple, which was obviously a taboo. Of course, he did not want to give up his dream, but if this dream would completely destroy the Ning family, he could only give up.
