Although Zhang Tianyou received the reminder from the White Lotus Sect and his goods were not confiscated by the imperial officers and soldiers, he has completely gone into hiding since that time and never dared to show off his concubines through the market again.

When passing by the city gate, Zhang Tianyou specifically looked at his sea fishing document and found that the portrait on it looked nothing like himself, which made him feel a little relieved.

It seems that other maritime merchants haven’t betrayed me yet?

According to Zhang Tianyou's thinking, after seeing the court's vigorous and resolute tactics, those profit-seeking merchants would definitely rush to claim credit and sell themselves to the court as travel expenses.

However, after such a long time, the imperial court did not get a portrait of him. It can only be said that the group of maritime merchants were out of justice.

While Zhang Tianyou was in a daze, Zhang Zhong handed over a piece of sesame seed cake and a pot of water.

"Young Master, let's just have something to eat first. When we get to the sea, we can eat and drink as much as we want."

"well……"

Zhang Tianyou picked up the sesame seed cake and gnawed it depressedly. He had experienced countless escapes in his life, but this time he felt that there was no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.

"Do you really want to give up?"

Zhang Zhong, who was eating, suddenly heard this and nodded heavily.

"Let's give up. The foothold over Annan has been settled, and the young master can also create a new situation there!"

Zhang Tianyou sat on the big stone outside the city, looking at the city gate not far away, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He has no feelings for the Ming Dynasty, but he has a deep love for the land where he was born and raised.

Thinking of his parents and ancestors who were buried in this land, Zhang Tianyou's eyes couldn't help but get wet.

"Father, the child is unfilial, wuwuwu..."

Zhang Zhong felt very uncomfortable when he heard the young master's cry.

But what choice do they have?

Either surrender to the Ming Dynasty and make a living under the eyes of the Ming Dynasty court. Or go far away and continue to live in a place far away from the Ming Dynasty.

"Brother, can't we give it a try?"

"Aren't there still people at sea among us?"

Zhang Tianyou was extremely unwilling. Over the years, he had tried his best to win over people. Even the ronin samurai from Japan had managed to win over thousands of people.

Therefore, he felt that he still had the strength to fight. As long as the Ming Dynasty's only 20,000 navy troops were destroyed, the Zhang family would be able to dominate the sea again.

"Young Master, you'd better wake up..."

"We have a total of more than 20,000 people at sea, and there are more than 10,000 people in Annan. The remaining people are not enough to fill the gap between people's teeth."

"Besides, haven't you seen what they have on their boats?"

"That black cannon can sink our ship with just a few shells. What do you want your men to use to fight them?"

In fact, it is not that the two parties have never fought before. Since the beginning of the Jing Navy's military exercises, they have been constantly raiding pirates along the coast.

The Zhang family's pirate gang has fought against Jing Haijun several times, and every time it ended in failure.

Zhang Zhong saw this and urged Zhu Tianyou to run away.

There is no way we can stay in the Ming Dynasty. If we stay here, the Zhang family might be cut off!

….

Zhang Tianyou felt even more depressed after hearing this. He still had tens of millions of taels of goods in Ming Dynasty that he had not sold, and he also had many miscellaneous properties.

Now that they are all thrown onto the land, how can he be willing to do so?

Just when Zhang Tianyou was feeling extremely depressed, a woman wearing a veil suddenly came over.

"Young master Zhang, please come and be fine!"

"Is it you?"

"That's right down there!"

"Prince Ming asked me to ask you on his behalf, how do you think about what we discussed before?"

The so-called previous matter just refers to the two families joining forces.

It's just that Zhang Tianyou didn't like the White Lotus Sect, so he never agreed to join forces with him.

However, now he was about to run away, thinking that he could not take away the property he had left in Daming, so he planned to trick Daming.

"sure!"

"Being able to serve King Ming is a blessing for my Zhang family!"

Han Yunshang was secretly happy after hearing this. They have people in the White Lotus Sect and the Zhang family is rich. If the two parties join forces, even if they cannot overthrow the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely turn the Ming Dynasty upside down!

"Congratulations, Mr. Zhang!"

"If Mr. Zhang joins Prince Ming's service, he will definitely be put into great use by Prince Ming."

"Prince Ming once told me before that as long as you are willing to join forces with us, I will make you king when things are done!"

"ha!"

Zhang Tianyou almost laughed out loud when he heard this, but fortunately he reacted quickly and stopped in time.

"Then thank you King Ming for your grace!"

"Since our two families have joined forces, I must show my loyalty to Prince Ming!"

Zhang Tianyou said as he took out a bunch of seals from his pocket, and then took out a small notebook from his sleeve.

"This is the property of my Zhang family in the Ming Dynasty. The stores are spread across three provinces, five prefectures, and seventeen counties on both sides of the Yangtze River. There are a total of forty-eight stores."

"There are also farms, a hundred river boats, and nine coastal warehouses..."

"As long as you rely on this seal, you can mobilize these manpower and material resources!"

When Han Yunshang heard this, his eyes widened.

At first, her uncle Han Qing asked her to recruit Zhang Tianyou, but she was somewhat reluctant.

Thinking that the Zhang family is just a businessman, what's the use of recruiting subordinates?

However, now that Han Yunshang saw the "voting certificate" paid by the Zhang family, he was dumbfounded.

Sure enough, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. This family has been operating in Jiangnan for decades, so it should not be underestimated.

"Then I will thank Mr. Zhang for your uncle's kindness!"

Zhang Tianyou smiled slightly when he heard this, and thought to himself that just now he said that he would reward me as a prince, now he would like to thank me for my kindness. It turns out that the White Lotus Sect is also very realistic.

"You're welcome. Is this all for the cause of countering the Ming Dynasty?"

After Zhang Tianyou said this, he threw the seal and the small notebook out, and Han Yunshang was so frightened that he rushed to catch them.

When Zhang Tianyou saw this, he finally couldn't help laughing, but after laughing, he got up and followed Zhang Zhong onto the boat.

Han Yunshang was just about to check the seal, but Zhang Tianyou suddenly stood up, and she hurried to catch up and ask.

"Mr. Zhang, what are you..."

"oh……"

"I have to go out of town to do some errands, and I will go to see Prince Ming in a few days!"

After Zhang Tianyou said these words, he raised the sail and sailed away, leaving Han Yunshang standing alone on the shore in a daze.

….

This person just left like that?

Dozens of stores, just give it to them?

Han Yunshang couldn't bear to sigh and quickly opened the booklet and read through it.

However, if you don’t know it, you will be shocked. According to the statistics in the brochure, Zhang Tianyou gave away tens of millions of taels of his property as soon as he made the move!

This is more than what the White Lotus Sect has accumulated in the past few decades. She and her uncle have made less than two million taels in total over the years!

In the next period of time, Han Yunshang traveled to three provinces, five prefectures and seventeen counties, checking all the shops and warehouses in various places, and then returned to meet his uncle.

"Uncle, this is the property list that Zhang Tianyou gave us, as well as the seals for withdrawing cash and transferring supplies!"

Han Qing listened to his niece's report and flipped through the pamphlet. After a while, he sighed leisurely.

"Zhang Tianyou ran away!"

"ah?"

"Run away?"

Han Qing ignored his silly niece and just shook his head bitterly.

"It seems that people don't see it at all.

We are treated as if we are just beggars!"

"However, I am impressed that they are willing to spend such a large amount of money!"
