Don't panic when traveling through the late Ming Dynasty, just go to Liangjian and buy a machin

Xiang Batian originally thought.

They will settle down on this land and begin to explore this unknown world.

But they needed to come here to set up camp and had just rested for a night.

He heard the news this morning.

Upon learning that this was the famous Zheng Zhilong, he also led his subordinates to station nearby.

The name of the legendary figure Zheng Zhilong is well-known to Xiang Batian and others.

I didn't expect that Zheng Zhilong would come to such a far place.

The reason why Xiang Batian was able to know this news.

This was because Zheng Zhilong invited the leaders and some important members of the aristocratic families to attend a secret meeting.

The convener and host of this meeting was Zheng Zhilong himself...

The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense and serious.

Everyone sat together, waiting for Zheng Zhilong to speak.

Xiang Batian sat quietly aside, observing the people around him.

I was secretly guessing the purpose of this meeting.

When Zheng Zhilong saw that everyone was present, he cleared his throat.

He said straight to the point: "Everyone, I believe you all know the news that the Red-haired Demons' coalition forces were completely defeated.

However, this news was blocked by my people, so until the moment of our meeting, the red-haired devils stationed across the strait did not know this news.

Across the street is the Red Haired Demons' very important supply base, where there are a large number of supplies, including food, swords, bows and arrows, gunpowder guns, cannons, etc.

There are also many large sea ships. Those shaped sea ships are just transport ships, but they are still very useful to us.

More importantly, they have relatively detailed nautical charts. The number of routes and the distances on the maps are completely beyond our imagination, so we must get nautical charts.

This time I invited you all to come here to listen to your opinions. What should we do next? "

What the hell should I do?

Isn't this obvious?

However, everyone present was smart and after a little thought, they understood what Zheng Zhilong meant.

Zhang Family Head: "Brother Zheng, do you mean to say that the spoils should be distributed according to everyone's contribution?"

Zheng Zhilong: "What do you think?"

The head of the Chen family said: "We have no objection to distributing according to the amount of effort, but we are short of weapons and equipment.

We don't need food at that time, but can you give us more weapons and equipment?"

The head of the Lin family said: "Brother Zheng, you are not short of weapons and equipment. It shouldn't be a problem to give us more. What do you think, Brother Zheng?"

The patriarchs of other large families.

They also spoke up to agree.

Even the bald monks in Buddhism wanted more weapons and equipment.

It seems that everyone has a sense of crisis!

Including the armed forces formed by these aristocratic families and interest groups.

In Zheng Zhilong's view, they were completely vulnerable.

If there are enough benefits, the team they have worked so hard to build will most likely betray these aristocratic families.

So in Zheng Zhilong's opinion, there was no need to worry too much about those troops.

However, weapons and equipment cannot be directly promised to them.

If you agree too readily, the income certificate will arouse the other party's suspicion...

……

Zheng Zhilong was now looking at them with a smile.

I thought these old foxes were really smart and would never rely on others for their safety.

And those old guys just thought in their hearts: Zheng Zhilong started out as a pirate, so such a person must be difficult to control.

If you are not careful, he will devour you without leaving a single bone.

Therefore, we must increase our self-protection capabilities as much as possible so that we can check and balance each other.

Otherwise, Zheng Zhilong and his men would have the sole dominance in terms of military power.

Then the noble families who fled here would sooner or later become fat sheep under their knife...

Looking at everyone who has their own ulterior motives.

Zheng Zhilong had expected this to happen.

These are aristocratic families that have been passed down for hundreds or even one or two thousand years.

They would not trust Zheng Zhilong at all. Fortunately, he had no intention of cooperating with these guys sincerely.

So Zheng Zhilong pretended to think about it.

Then he said with some embarrassment: "In that naval battle, we also suffered heavy losses!

Currently I have only 2 men under my command, and even fewer weapons and equipment. Many of my brothers still use wooden sticks as weapons!

But since you have asked, I will definitely give you face. We will distribute it according to how much effort you have put in, and then I will give you 20% of the weapons and equipment I deserve.

You can exchange them for food or other supplies, so that no one will suffer any loss. What do you think?"

The head of the Zhang family: "Isn't 20% a little too little? Can Zheng Yuan add a little more?"

Lin Family Patriarch: "Yes, our current family guard team is a bit too weak!

When we go to a new place in the future, no one knows what kind of situation we will encounter, so we will need more guards, more weapons and equipment..."

The head of the Chen family said: "There are indeed not enough weapons and equipment. With so many families among us, we can't get many!"

Zheng Zhilong: "I understand what you are saying, but I am indeed short of weapons and equipment.

In this case, I will take out 10% more weapons and exchange them for food and other supplies. If I take out more, I really can't take out more!"

The old foxes looked at each other.

I think it’s good for them to be able to get one more level.

Their cooperation with Zheng Zhilong is now at a critical stage.

It is really not advisable to offend Zheng Zhilong.

Otherwise it won't do any good to either side...

Then the head of the Zhang family said, "Thank you very much for your guidance, Brother Zheng. When will we start the action?

Do I need to have my people make all kinds of preparations in advance?"
