This so-called great pirate was no longer the powerful pirate who made the foreign countries of the South Seas pay tribute; he was merely a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty.

His fate is certainly predetermined; he will inevitably be brought to justice, though he may live for a while longer.

However, he could only be imprisoned in a cage in fear and trepidation, and the moment he was sent to Yingtian Prefecture in chains was the moment he lost his life.

The battle, though seemingly large-scale, wasn't particularly fierce. Floating on the sea were planks, corpses, and even some pirates still howling for survival.

But all of this also signifies the end of the war, and the powerful Chen Zuyi pirate group has been destroyed.

This could be considered a show of force by the Ming fleet to the Southeast Asian nations. They were helpless against, even fearful of, Chen Zuyi, who was now a prisoner of the Ming. It seemed that the Ming had destroyed such a pirate group without shedding a drop of blood.

If you want to be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, you'd better think it over carefully. If you can't even deal with a single pirate, then you can forget about fighting against the Ming Dynasty's terrifying and powerful army.

Shi Jinqing looked excited; he knew he had made the right bet. He was about to become the master of Old Port, and he seemed to have the right to have his own power on this land and this ocean.

With the mountains behind him, he must do a good job as the Pacification Commissioner of Old Port. As long as he can bring some benefits to the Ming Dynasty, his position can be guaranteed.

Paying tribute and submitting to the Ming Dynasty is not shameful. Our family was originally just a poor family struggling to survive at sea; just being able to live was a blessing. If we could now rule as kings in the land of the natives, that would be a source of great comfort.

Whether it's shameful or not is irrelevant. As long as you get real benefits, that's enough; those are the most fundamental things.

The old port without Chen Zuyi was the best. And the new Sanfoqi might not necessarily belong to Liang Daoming.

If Liang Daoming can rule over those natives, why can't I, Shi Jinqing, have my own land in this land?

Besides, I have joined the Ming Dynasty army, so I have powerful backers!
