If Dayi was not strong, this threat would be nothing, and they would have the confidence to resist. But now they were facing Dayi, the Holy Court, with its strength. With one order, they could flatten Coconut King Island and wipe out the Zheng family. Even if the Zheng family secretly had considerable strength, it would still be impossible to reverse the situation. Now facing the deterrence in Mao Sui's words, he instinctively felt his heart tighten.
The rumor that the Zheng family was a pirate was no secret in the Caribbean. Although the Zheng family had never admitted it, the rumors were spreading like wildfire. Fortunately, the Zheng family did not have the habit of robbing others. Even if they did plunder, they would do so in other remote areas. This was one of the reasons why the Zheng family could gain a foothold in Coconut King Island.
Now after hearing what Mao Sui said, he was even more afraid to admit it.
"Of course, the truth of the matter still needs to be 'carefully' identified. I believe that City Lord Zheng was able to build Coconut King City and protect millions of human beings in the city. This move is enough to show the benevolence of the city lord. It is indeed obvious to all. We, Dayi, have always treated the major forces of the human race with a tolerant attitude, and the conditions given to the human forces willing to join our Dayi are even more generous."
Mao Sui's serious face suddenly showed a smile, and his voice became soft. It was as if spring had suddenly returned from the severe cold. Suddenly, the atmosphere around him became relaxed.
"Mr. Mao, please come in. It's dinner time now, why don't we talk while we eat. Although my Coconut King Island is not a special island, there are still some good delicacies on the island. I believe I will not disappoint Mr. Mao."
Zheng Zhilong also breathed a sigh of relief and invited him with a smile.
From Mao Sui's words, one can already sense that Dayi does not really want to attack his Zheng family, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to allow only Mao Sui to appear. The ones who followed him must be a real army.
Zheng Zhilong is not a stupid person to have come this far, otherwise he would not have lived to this day.
Mao Sui did not hesitate and followed him in.
The previous toughness was just a preemptive move. It was also to break the psychological defense of the Zheng family, first tough, then gentle. This method is definitely a common method in the hands of the strategists, and the premise of this is that there is Dayi as the backing behind.
The deterrent power of the Holy See is quite terrifying.
Enter the City Lord’s Mansion.
The dinner was ready. The chef was obviously very skilled, and the ingredients were mouth-watering and very appetizing.
What was served was naturally the best standard in Coconut King City for the reception.
Mao Sui picked up the chopsticks, tasted a few delicacies, and nodded secretly. The food was indeed good. Because of Yi Tianxing, almost everyone in the court of Dayi was very enthusiastic about food. There were reasons for influence from the top and some people's instinctive yearning for food. It was just that people in Dayi liked it more. When it came to the ability to taste food, the court officials of Dayi were all at a very good level.
He has become a picky eater.
"Yes, this coconut chicken does have a unique taste, and the coconut crab has delicious meat, a rare delicacy. If the Holy King knew, he would definitely taste it himself." Mao Sui said with admiration.
"The coconut crabs of my Coconut King Island are absolutely huge in size and delicious in texture. If they can be eaten by His Majesty the Saint King, it will be an honor for my Coconut King Island." Zheng Zhilong's eyes lit up when he heard this. The fact that Yi Tianxing likes delicious food is no secret in the surrounding areas. It has long been known to everyone.
Now that the coconut crabs on his island can receive Mao Sui's recognition, it is naturally a good thing. If they can get Yi Tianxing's praise, it will be a step to heaven.
"May I ask City Lord Zheng what you think about the future?"
Mao Sui asked while eating.
"There are countless pirates in the Caribbean, but they are restricted to the islands and land. Moreover, there are various alien races, ferocious beasts, and even demons and monsters everywhere on the land. My Zheng family can only occupy a place on the Coconut King Island. In the future, I really want to be a wealthy man with nothing to worry about. I can be free and worry-free, and enjoy the happiness of family. I don't know if there is such an opportunity." Zheng Zhilong said with a flash of light in his eyes.
"Haha, City Lord Zheng is too self-deprecating. The City Lord not only has the opportunity to become a rich man with many children and grandchildren, but also has the opportunity to be famous through the ages and be respected by all generations." Mao Sui said with a smile.
"Mr. Mao, please explain clearly."
Zheng Zhilong was certain in his heart and asked respectfully.
"The Caribbean Pirate Alliance's attack on Dayi's territory has angered the Saint King. The reason why they haven't taken action yet is because the main battlefield is in the Bohai Sea area. Once Bohai is under control, the Caribbean Sea will no longer be spared. All pirates will be wiped out, and this area will become Dayi's territory, and the people here will also become Dayi's citizens."
"If City Lord Zheng can make contributions in the process of conquering the Caribbean Sea, I believe that the Holy King will definitely give City Lord Zheng a better stage."
"For example... join the military and lead a navy."
"For example... becoming the master of Dayi Immortal City, ranking third rank, and ruling over an area."
Mao Sui spoke each word naturally, neither hurriedly nor slowly. To Zheng Zhilong and his son, it was like a series of stormy waves. The feeling was one of anxiety and excitement. It was very complicated. It kept changing with the words. Emotions were fluctuating violently.
Thoughts flashed through my mind.
They have a chance to join the Big Easy.
They actually have the opportunity to become the master of a city and will not be excluded from the stage of Dayi.
They can join the army and have the opportunity to lead a legion.
What a great opportunity this is.
Excitement and excitement are constantly emerging.
As for the fact that they now occupy Coconut King Island, have a semi-pirate fleet, and live a free and carefree life, it is completely insignificant. It can be said that as long as there is a chance, being able to join Dayi is the dream of countless human forces. The Zheng family is most concerned about the liquidation of their pirate identity, and they do not have much resistance to joining Dayi. In fact, they have great expectations. Now that they have received Mao Sui's disguised guarantee, they instantly aroused great enthusiasm.
"Mr. Mao."
Zheng Zhilong's eyes gleamed, and he suddenly said, "If my Zheng family can persuade the human forces on other islands for Dayi, I wonder what kind of benefits we can get."
Obviously, he didn't want to be limited to the position of the lord of a fairy city or even the leader of a legion. He wanted to get more attention and more benefits after joining Dayi.
Mao Sui took a deep look at Zheng Zhilong, and nodded secretly at his courage and character. He was indeed a hero who had been active in the Caribbean for so many years. He was indeed not an ordinary person and had great ambitions. However, these were harmless to Dayi, and he would be encouraged instead. As long as you have talent, you will be given a stage to display your talent.
"In Dayi, there is a complete system, among which the merit system is the most important and fundamental system of Dayi. If an official of Dayi wants to be promoted, first of all, it depends on his own ability, and then on the merits he has accumulated. As long as the merits reach a certain standard, he can be promoted. Unless the Saint King personally speaks up, it is a special case. Even if he is promoted, he must make up for the merits in the future. The merits required for promotion are directly erased from his own merits."
"With merits, you can enter the Star Picking Tower and exchange for the opportunity to pick treasures. You can enter the Sutra Library and exchange for manuals on martial arts. You can read a lot of books, which can help you get promoted to higher ranks. You can exchange for rare treasures and can confer titles on soldiers. Merits belong only to you and cannot be transferred to others. They cannot be traded, but only exchanged. Merits can be accumulated. If you can make a lot of merits, you can naturally get what you want in Dayi."
Mao Sui said slowly.
This is no secret in the Great Yi.
Merits have an indelible connection with everyone in Dayi. They are recorded through the Star Network. The Star Watch carried by the warriors, the Sun Eye and the Moon Eye in the sky, are two omnipresent eyes in the sky that can easily monitor everything. Merits are recorded silently, leaving a video stub. It can be guaranteed that there will be no mistakes. This is why countless soldiers fighting on the battlefield do not have to worry about their merits being buried.
In the Star Network, there is naturally a set of standards for calculating merit.
"Merit?"
After hearing this, Zheng Chenggong's eyes lit up and he also asked: "Mr. Mao, if we help Dayi convince more forces, we can get more merits. What if we convince pirates, will we also get merits?"
There was a hint of anticipation in his voice.
"Pirates? If they can mend their ways and even make enough meritorious deeds to atone for their sins, I believe the Holy King will give them a chance. However, the pirates themselves also need to atone for their sins. What kind of punishment they will receive depends on how the court decides." Mao Sui said meaningfully.
Pirates are just a group of unforgivable villains. It would be best if they could be wiped out. However, it cannot be denied that there are talented people among pirates who are able to dominate a large area. Their talents cannot be completely ignored.
"Mr. Mao, my Zheng family is willing to join Dayi and become the citizens of Dayi. This Coconut King Island can all change its ways with just one order. There is no need to worry about the alien races on the island. They are all under our control."
Zheng Zhilong decisively spoke up and made a vote: "We have connections with the forces on the major islands and lands around us, and we also have detailed sea charts. Our Zheng family can personally send people to persuade the major forces to join Dayi. I believe they will not refuse."
You don’t even need to think about what the consequences of rejection will be to know.
