Chapter 768: Pull One, Hit One
The "Fujian Gang" is a native of Quanzhou, southern Fujian.
The people of Quanzhou are a legend in the maritime history of the late Ming Dynasty, Japan, and even Southeast Asia.
This legend included the later Zheng family.
As the core of the Fujian Gang, Yan Siqi has great ambitions and a very good vision, and he wants to use Taiwan as the foundation, invade the Quartet, rule Japan, and become the cause of the hegemon of Fuyu.
For this reason, he spent most of his life in Japan engaged in the Shogunate Movement, and unknowingly became the hero of Japan's Downfall.
It can be said that it is precisely because of Yan Siqi's reclamation that Zheng's development and operation of Taiwan later took place.
Without the foundation laid by Yan Siqi, Taiwan would still be an unfoothold for the Zheng family and the rest of the Ming Dynasty, and there would be no later battle to restore Taiwan.
However, judging from the current historical perspective, if the national surname did not retreat to Taiwan, but insisted on staying on the mainland, the situation of resisting the Qing Dynasty might not be as it was originally.
At the very least, the national surname will not die in Taiwan.
He died before he left the school, which made the hero cry.
Not to mention national feelings, just to talk about heroes, Yan Siqi is more powerful than Zheng's father and son, and he is also more powerful than the current sea overlord Li Dan.
This person's death is also full of drama.
Not dying of disease, not dying of old age, not dying of war, not dying of accidents, but dying of food!
After Yan Siqi died, the public recommended Zheng Zhilong as the leader of the alliance and continued to expand the great cause, so that the hegemony of the Zheng family was born.
"This Yan Siqi can't be compared with Jiapitan, because his ships are less than Jiabidan, but he also has many supporters in Japan, and I heard that he has been involved in the activities against the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan, so Li Dan has always wanted to get rid of him, and awarded a reward for this, saying that as long as someone can hunt down Yan Siqi, whether he lives or dies, he will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver." Tao Jie talked about such an incident.
Gonggong Wei knew in his heart that Yan Siqi was now famous because of his bravery, just like the double saffron and double sticks in the gang, he was completely famous for his ability.
However, whether it is fame or strength, it is not as good as Comrade Kapitan, the real leader of East Asia.
At best, he is Brother Haonan, not enough to be Mr. Jiang, otherwise he would not have to go to Taiwan to open up.
Gonggong Wei suspected that if it weren't for the "sea chase and kill order" issued by Comrade Li Dan of Jiabidan with a reward of 10,000 taels of silver, it might not have been possible for Tao and Zhang to list this Fujian gang's safflower double stick as one of the three major Han forces on the sea.
Even, the real strength of this Siqi brother is not as good as his Ming Admiral's Maritime Minister Wei Gonggong.
However, for Yan Siqi, a Fujianese, to become a hero of the rebellion against the shogunate in Japan, Wei Gonggong thought it was quite interesting.
The drama of a Han man becoming the fallen hero of Japan is like Abe running to China's online literature website to write a time-travel, shouting that the Tatars will be expelled, China will be restored, and the Han family will never be a slave.
It's a complete mistake in the script.
Interesting, very interesting.
Combined with Wang Zhi in the past, Li Dan now, and Japan's long-standing admiration for Chinese culture, it can even be said to be "kneeling and licking", Wei Gonggong believes that China and Japan really have the possibility of becoming a family now.
This is based on facts, not to mention the influence of the Confucian cultural circle, only from the genes. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were hundreds of thousands of Chinese-Japanese mixed-race children along the coast of Japan.
These mixed-race children are all one system – a Chinese father plus a Japanese mother.
In the eyes of the government of their country, those Chinese fathers were all pirates and robbers, but in the eyes of the Japanese, they were heroes, heroes, and big money!
The term "sugar daddy" can be used very well for today's Japanese women and their families.
A large number of Japanese families married their daughters to the "big money" from the Ming Kingdom for the sake of profit, resulting in the emergence of hundreds of thousands of Chinese-Japanese mixed-race children.
The national surname is a part of this huge group.
His mother is Japanese.
After his mother was defiled by the Qing soldiers, the national surname announced to the world with the cruel act of "cutting off his mother's intestines" - he and the Manchu Tartars did not share the sky!
This move is likely to be related to the Japanese national character flowing in the blood of the national surname.
In addition to the interest factor, in Japan, the "gene" of the Chinese Han people has always been fanatically pursued.
Since the Tang Dynasty, "borrowing" from the Chinese has been a common practice in Japan, including the upper echelons.
This is not a wild history, and the earliest written record was formed in the Song Dynasty.
Records of the time show that the Wa Kingdom sent a large number of ships to bring its women to China, and when they saw beautiful men, they sacrificed themselves and gave birth to offspring.
At that time, it was called "Degree Species" in Japan.
Such a fanatical pursuit of using Han genes to improve one's own race is not only the advanced nature of Chinese culture, but also the inferior nature of the Japanese nation itself.
This inferiority is not a national consciousness, but a racial problem.
Wei Gonggong remembers that there are historical sources that show that until the Tokugawa shogunate, the average height of Japanese men was only 1.55 meters. He is now sure that he is not mistaken.
Because of the hundreds of Japanese soldiers under my father-in-law, except for a small number of more than 1.6 meters, the rest are below 1.6 meters. For example, Oda is only 1.6 meters, and Sanada is better, nearly 1.7 meters. But there are only a dozen people as tall as Sanada.
The Japanese soldiers were the regular army and the central army of Japan's conquest of Korea, and it can be said that they were themselves an elite group in Japan, not to mention those rural farmers.
Buddhism is the reason why Japanese people are too short.
After Buddhism was introduced to Japan, Japan's rulers used Buddhism to consolidate their rule and make Buddhism the state religion of Japan. As a result, under the influence of Buddhist non-killing, for more than 1,000 years, most Japanese people did not eat meat. Most of the food is fish, and in this case, both men and women naturally lack nutrition, and the general height is shorter.
Coupled with the admiration for China, it is normal for Japanese women to have the phenomenon of "licking Han slaves".
In the previous life of Gonggong Wei, it was not until the Meiji Restoration that Japan began to communicate with Western countries, and it was not until the original Chinese people were so short that the government began to persuade the people to eat meat.
After World War II, the economy began to recover, the standard of living was higher, and the height of the younger generation of Japanese children jumped sharply, and the short people of the East became history.
Under various factors of interests, culture, and relative openness, a large number of Chinese pirates married wives and had children in Japan, generation after generation, children and grandchildren, and hundreds of thousands of Chinese integrated into Japan.
Perhaps, in the eyes of Yan Siqi and others, Japan, like the Ming Dynasty, is its own country.
Well, the enemy of the enemy is the friend.
Wei Gonggong did not think that he had any possibility of cooperation with Jiapitan Li Dan, on the one hand, Li Dan had become the sea overlord of East Asia, with strong strength, and with the support of Tokugawa Ieyasu, with the current strength of Wei Gonggong, it was impossible to make Li Dan surrender. Unless he, Gonggong Wei, can convince His Majesty the Emperor to "conquer the Japanese" again in addition to the three major expeditions.
This is obviously impossible to do.
If you can't make the other party surrender, you may also let the other party accept the Ming court's recruitment.
Because, there are lessons from Wang Zhi's past.
The reason why Li Dan was able to rise was because Wang Zhi was killed.
Although Wang Zhi's murder allowed the Ming army to quickly solve the problem on the southeast coast in the following years, it also made it difficult for the Ming government to cooperate with the maritime forces that were originally the people of the Ming Dynasty through the means of Zhao'an.
No one wants to be the second Wang Zhi.
Even if Li Dan was willing to accept the Ming Dynasty's recruitment, it was impossible for Gonggong Wei to come up with conditions that would make him excited.
With Li Dan's strength, it is not something that can be sent by generals, guerrillas, or even general soldiers.
Later, Zheng Zhilong was able to accept the Ming Dynasty's recruitment, which was an exception among exceptions, and he couldn't find a second Zheng Zhilong after looking through the history books.
If you want Li Dan to surrender and accept the adaptation, you can either come up with the conditions that make the other party excited, or beat him.
Father-in-law Wei almost didn't hesitate to decide to beat this Li Dan.
But his strength is limited, so he needs allies.
Yan Siqi is obviously a good partner, even if this person is also an ambitious wolf.
But now, the wolf has not yet grown.
That's where we can work together.
Gonggong Wei believes in his olive branch, and Yan Siqi will definitely accept it obediently.
Because, they have a common enemy - Kapitan Li Dan!
In this way, a messenger is needed.
The father-in-law felt that Tao Jie and Zhang An were good, proficient in many Chinese, and familiar with maritime affairs, and it was too wasteful to work for foreigners to earn a little money.
