Zhang's village

Zhang's village was a small settlement that the Chinese laborer Zhang lived in, located near the city of Macau, hidden in a forested valley in the north of the Macau Peninsula. In addition to being a residence, the village also served as a safe haven for people who were facing various problems and danger, many of whom were from the city.

History

In February 1725, Zhang brought the Dutch navigator John Young and the British Assassin Edward Kenway as they were seeking shelter from both the Dutch East India Company authorities and the Shimazu clan. In their first night of stay, Edward and John hunted a deer and two alligators in the nearby forest, allowing the village to have a feast.[1]

However, the celebration was short-lived, as the village was soon hit by an outbreak of cholera, leading to many of its inhabitants falling deadly ill, including Zhang's daughter. Wishing to help, Edward acquired some salt and sugar from a warehouse in Macau owned by affluential businesswoman Madam Lee,[2] which were then used to create a remedy that saved most of the sick villagers' lives. However, Zhang's daughter was already too ill and ended up passing away.[3]

Despite this, Zhang and his wife were nonetheless grateful for Edward's assistance, as was the rest of the village, and offered to repay the favour. At Edward's request, Zhang and his fellow laborers tried to learn anything they could about Madam Lee's activities in Macau, eventually discovering that she had purchased the deceased Dutch sailor Hendrik's logbook and informing both Edward and John.[3]

After Edward had managed to secure an alliance with Madam Lee, he returned to the village with two chests of treasure and other goods he had received from her as a gift. While the villagers enjoyed the gifts, Edward asked Zhang and his fellow laborers to become his informants in Macau once again, this time in order to learn more about Madam Lee's business rivals, who were backed by the Templars. To this end, he provided them with several pairs of fine clothes he had purchased, which made the laborers appear to be of a higher status and allowed them to secure work contracts for major trading companies more easily.[4]
