Leave no place behind!
When Zhao Xian heard Han Du's cold words, he felt as if a cold current had passed through his bones, almost freezing to the bone. He suddenly realized that although Han Du was smiling, he was not joking with him. And it's not that he himself doesn't understand this truth, it's just that when it's his turn, he doesn't want to suffer, and he can't help but reject it in his heart.
Now that Han Du had spoken out, Zhao Xian had to face this problem.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Xian said solemnly: "Uncle, please don't worry, the common people will persuade them."
Han Du nodded and said with a smile: "I'm not asking you to persuade them with earnest words, but you just need to let them know. After all, medicine can't cure diseases, and Buddha can help those who are destined. Some people just want to seek death, so you can stop them. You can’t live without it, right?”
Zhao Xian nodded calmly and replied: "The common people understand."
"Just understand, go ahead." Uncle Ben is informing you, not asking for your opinion. If you don't understand this, then you will die.
Zhao Xian returned to several families, looking a little lost.
Several people saw each other, looked at each other, and then quickly asked: "Old man, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Xian waved his hand, blocking the people who wanted to help him, and walked to the chair step by step to sit down alone.
He glanced at the people present and told Han Du's conditions.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and immediately some people were dissatisfied with Han Du's conditions.
"How could he do this? Our ancestors worked hard to build this place bit by bit. He is so good at Han Du that he wants to swallow us whole as soon as he comes. He has such a huge appetite, he is simply wishful thinking."
Some people roar in anger, while others can analyze calmly.
The person who calmed down said, "Han Du's words are not unreasonable. We can't even defeat the natives. If we just rely on us, can we defend ourselves?"
The people from the Wen family glanced around and looked at each other, but no one was willing to bring up this topic. These people, accumulated over several generations, are rich, but they don't have the slightest bit of force. Otherwise, they would not have been swarmed by these natives and forced them almost to death.
The Zhang family members were still unconvinced and said: "Even if we have to rely on the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be too ugly for Han Du to eat like this? This is simply the same as swallowing us up. Rather than doing this, we might as well go to Java nearby. Now. Their appetites are not as big as Han Du’s.”
"Java?" Wen Jia sneered and said, "Although Han Du opened his mouth a little wider, he was right in what he said. We and the Ming Dynasty are at least of the same origin. If we vote for the Ming Dynasty, we will look at the same origin. For our sake, we can truly accept us. But what does Java mean? Are they worthy of it?"
"You, Wenyuan, you are always looking towards the Ming Dynasty, what are your intentions?" The Zhang family couldn't bear it anymore and pointed at Wen Yuan's nose and cursed.
Wen Yuan was not afraid at all and said loudly: "Everyone knows what kind of person I am, Wen Yuan. When I say that I am facing the Ming Dynasty, am I looking towards the Ming Dynasty? I am looking towards ourselves. We are on this big island. You are used to being domineering and domineering, so you will suffer such a disaster. This time, you are lucky, you happened to meet Han Du passing by, and you saved your life. If this continues, if things go on like this, do you think that someone will come next time? Save our lives?"
After Wen Yuan finished speaking, he looked up at the people present. Except for the Zhang family, everyone else looked worried. There is no way, this native riot really frightened them. Even now, when I think about it, I feel scared.
"Besides, what's wrong with joining the Ming Dynasty? As the saying goes, it's better to be a phoenix tail than a chicken head. If you want to survive, you must find someone with big legs to hold you. There is no one thicker than the Ming Dynasty in the world. thigh?"
The faces of the Zhang family suddenly darkened, and they said with a sneer: "The Ming Dynasty is thousands of miles away. Even if we vote for the Ming Dynasty, if something happens in the future, the Ming Dynasty will still be beyond our reach. If we vote for the Ming Dynasty, we will not vote for it."
What the Zhang family said makes sense. If Daming was too far away, there would be no time to protect them. So what's the difference between this and not taking refuge?
"The Ming Dynasty is far away, but the warships of the Ming Dynasty are very close." Wen Yuan hated the iron and said with a sneer: "Besides, you don't think we are safe now, do you? You know the natives are still here On the island, it is now entirely dependent on the Ming Navy to suppress the natives. If we don’t agree to Han Du, what should we do if he just slaps his butt and leaves?"
Natives, this is their most pressing matter.
Han Du's move was indeed based on their vitality. If they didn't agree, since Han Du could say it, no one would doubt that he couldn't do it. Two days later, as soon as Han Du left, didn't the natives eat them alive?
Therefore, after Wen Yuan said it so nakedly, even the Zhang family fell silent.
If you don't agree, this will be a dead end with no solution!
"Senior, please tell me what to do." Seeing that the Zhang family and the Wen family were arguing, the Chen family asked Zhao Xian for help.
When Zhao Xian saw several people looking at him, he sighed and said, "Since you all want me to speak, I will tell you my own opinion. I think Wen Yuan's idea is right."
Originally, the Zhang family thought that no matter who Zhao Xian supported, he would at least be polite first. But he didn't expect that Zhao Xian would be so outspoken.
"Old man, this..."
Zhao Xian waved his hand to stop the Zhang family's words, and continued: "I won't care about your choice. Anyway, the Zhao family is going to surrender to the Ming Dynasty."
Wen Yuan saw this and immediately said: "The Wen family will also surrender to the Ming Dynasty." However, even after hearing Zhao Xian's words, Wen Yuan did not show the slightest look of joy on his face.
The Zhang family glanced at Wen Yuan, ignored him, and smiled bitterly at Zhao Xian: "Senior, how do you say this? Our family has been advancing and retreating together in the same spirit for more than a hundred years since we came here. Are we going to part ways now?"
Zhao Xian stood up, walked to the Zhang family, and patted him on the shoulder. He sighed: "I know that even if you don't agree to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, it's just because you think Han Du's conditions are harsh, and you have good intentions for us. But if you think about it carefully, are Han Du's conditions really harsh? ? The Central Plains covers thousands of miles. Which place has not been like this for thousands of years? If we are not willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and are unwilling to pay taxes, then what reason does the Ming Dynasty have to protect us? "
