As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is true.

Of course, Zheng Chenggong would not believe it easily, and he must have seen it with his own eyes before counting it.

The northern foot of Shuangyu and the south side are both higher, and the middle area is relatively gentle.

The small fishing village at Wang Ershui's mouth is in a small bay near the sea on the island.

The wind is calm and the water is clear and the sand is a rare and livable place.

Wang Ershui brought Zheng Chenggong and others, pointed to dozens of houses lined up and said, "How is it, I didn't lie to you, right? I, Wang Ershui, never lie to others!"

"Brother Cangshui, let's go over and take a look!"

Zheng Chenggong was intrigued and walked towards the village.

"The people in our village are all surnamed Wang, and they were originally fishermen from Dinghai County. Because they were dissatisfied with the order of the Donglu shaving, they crossed the sea to this Shuangyu Island."

Wang Ershui followed Zheng Chenggong and explained as he walked.

Zhang Huangyan sighed when he heard this: "The Eastern Captains are doing their best and attempting to destroy the foundation of our China. Their intentions should be punished!"

Although he was angry, he was still a little relieved when he saw many people dissatisfied with the order of the captive court to shave their heads and did not hesitate to cross the sea to seek a way out.

If everyone is like the people of Wangjiawan, why not worry about planning the plan to attack the Qing Dynasty?

"This lord is right. We are disdainful to be slaves of the Donglu and live with dignity."

Live with dignity...

Zhang Huangyan silently recited these words.

Yes, the difference between humans and livestock is that humans live with dignity.

If you can even give up dignity, what's the difference between it and a pig or a dog?

No one wants to be beaten and scolded by foreigners, right?

No one wants their children and descendants to be engraved with slaves as soon as they are born?

No one wants to be born inferior, right?

They are all raised by their parents, why?

Perhaps this is the reason why Zhang Huangyan fought for it.

But when the group walked into the village, many villagers took the initiative to say hello to Wang Ershui, most of whom were women, children and elderly people.

Young people should have gone out to sea to fish.

But when they saw the soldiers covered in armor behind Wang Ershui, they instinctively shrank their necks and remained silent.

"Don't be afraid, we are the King of Ming Dynasty!"

Zhang Huangyan shouted loudly.

Hearing this sentence, the old, weak, women and children looked a little calmer, but they were still a little alert.

Even if the Ming army appears here, it may not be a good thing.

"Master, let's go here."

Wang Ershui was a little embarrassed on the surface, and swallowed his saliva and walked forward to lead the way.

The fishing village is not big, it is almost a hundred steps away.

Wang Ershui pointed to a small house and said, "This is my family. Should the king go in and take a look?"

Zheng Chenggong nodded.

The house was too small, so only Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan followed Wang Ershui into the house. The rest of the guards were guarding outside the house.

Wang Ershui returned to his shack and became more courageous. He took the initiative to give Zheng Chenggong. Zhang Huangyan poured water and handed it over and said, "Drink a glass of water."

Seeing that the two of them were hesitant, Wang Ershui smiled and raised his cup and drank it all.

“No poison.”

Zheng Chenggong coughed and explained awkwardly: "I don't mean that."

"I'll pour another cup for the king."

"Do you live alone?"

Zhang Huangyan asked without seeing anyone else in the room.

"I live alone. The women in the village have their own masters. I can't get a wife, so I can only be a bachelor."

Wang Ershui didn't think anything was wrong, and spread his hands and said, "Life is good alone, and his ears are pure."

"Sit down."

Wang Ershui has basically let go, and it has the taste of the head of the family.

Of course, he is the only one in this family.

"Are there many villages like yours in Dinghai County?"

As soon as Zheng Chenggong said, he felt a little confused and added: "I mean I am unwilling to be enslaved by the Donglu, so he took the initiative to run to the island on the sea."

Wang Ershui nodded and said, "There must be a lot of them. Who wants to be a slave? Relying on the mountains and rivers and waters to eat. Anyway, we rely on fishing to make a living, and at worst we can change places to continue living."

Wang Ershui swallowed and said, "When will the King of Kings recover the lost land? When will we move back to live!"

Zheng Chenggong felt a thud and his mood was very complicated.

When will the Ming army recover the lost territory?

Originally, the Battle of the Yangtze River had already seen hope, but the result was bitter.

Failure to fail is also a failure. Failure to transform advantages into prosperity is the eternal pain in Zheng Chenggong's heart.

"If the court sent troops here, would you still live on the island?"

Zhang Huangyan asked a question that made Wang Ershui laugh and cry.

"Of course we will continue to live. Our Ming army is not an Eastern Lu, so what's scary about it?"

"Aren't you afraid of being arrested?"

"A single man like me, who eats one person and the whole family is not hungry. If adults really need it, I will not refuse."

Wang Ershui straightened his back and said, "Actually, everyone has long remembered to resist the Donglu. I just don't know who to follow. If there is no backbone, the team can't be pulled up, right? If the adults need it, I, Wang Ershui, will not frown."

Zhang Huangyan's heart was mixed with all kinds of feelings.

The Ming Dynasty court owed too many of these remnants!

But as Wang Ershui and the others said, when the court really needed them, they would stand up without hesitation.

The Ming Dynasty is like a mother, even if there is something wrong with it, it is her own mother.

How can a son say that his mother is not?

Donglu is like a personal dealer, snatching the child from his biological mother. If it were the child, I hope he could return to his mother's arms as soon as possible!

"You are very good!"

In just a short while, Zheng Chenggong's impression of Wang Ershui changed a lot.

In his opinion, people's hearts are still available.

"Brother Cangshui, now do you understand why I want to run Shuangyu Island?"

Zheng Chenggong turned around and said to Zhang Huangyan with a smile.

The advantage of Shuangyu is its superior geographical location. It is across the sea from Dinghai County and can attract many people who are unwilling to be enslaved by the Eastern Captains to live on the island.

With the people and people, there is capital for development.

Isn’t this what Ming army lacks the most now?

Zhang Huangyan nodded and said, "You can see far if you are still Damu."

"What we need to do now is to develop as much as possible and take root."

Zheng Chenggong said firmly: "Only in this way, the Eastern Barbarians will be afraid. If we float on the sea all day long, it will be rootless duckweed, and the Eastern Barbarians will not care at all!"

Zhang Huangyan agreed: "Yes, only when we can gain a foothold here can we restrain the Eastern Captains and give His Majesty more time to the King of Jin."

Everything is for the revival plan of the court!

In order to achieve this goal, no matter how much grievances they suffer, it doesn’t matter how much suffering they suffer!
