Saemon was reading a book at the house at this time, and after receiving the report from his subordinates, his brows furrowed, and he put the "Book of Rites" in his hand on the table.

The recent situation of the Tagawa family is very bad, Cao Sanxi from the Ming Dynasty and the Dutch suppress the business in his hands, and the shogunate officials who have always been close to the Tagawa family have a very strange attitude.

This further fueled the arrogance of the Cao family, and yesterday Cao Ji'an, the son of the Cao family, even led people to burn down one of his shops, and also broke the legs of the shopkeepers, and the local officials not only turned a blind eye, but also allowed the Dutch to provoke in his shop.

Due to the lockdown of the Tokugawa shogunate, news was delayed, and Saemon only learned two months ago that his father Zheng Zhilong had been killed by the Dutch, and his brother Zheng Sen was also besieged by the Dutch.

The successive disasters left Nanazaemon Tagawa, who was just twenty-three years old, very worried.

A few months ago, Zheng Sen sent him a letter asking him to obey the orders of the Ming Dynasty's Anguo County King, and also asked him to trust this prince as if he trusted his brother, Saemon had never seen any Anguo County King, but he knew that Zheng Sen would not joke with him.

Just now, the next person reported that it was the people who came from the Daming Nishiyama Shogunate, and the main foreign trade object of the Tagawa family was the Nishiyama Shogunate, and because the Tokugawa Shogunate had issued a national lockdown decree, he had to turn around the trade of the South Seas through the Nishiyama Shogunate.

And Dongying lacks resources, the best thing they can get is the Dongying war knife, but the war knife business has been difficult to do recently, the Ming Dynasty now likes to use firearms, and Xishan Shanghe can only resell the war knife to other countries, and the profits during it are naturally getting narrower and narrower.

Alas, I don't know what happened to the eldest brother in Nanyang?

Saemon sighed and decided to meet his biggest trading partner.

Liu Honggradually became very interested in Xiao Zheng's brother, the style of Saemon's house was similar to that of the Ming Dynasty's courtyard, and as soon as he entered the outer courtyard, he saw a young man in a loose kimono walking, Liu Hong's brows furrowed when he saw it.

"You're Saemon?" Liu Hong gradually looked up and down.

He had long heard Steward Wu say that the Saemon Society was speaking in a straightforward manner.

Saemon is not only dressed in a kimono, but also has a Toei hairstyle, with hair on the front half of his forehead except for his temples, and a Mediterranean hairstyle all the way to the top of his head, with only a small braid tied at the back of his head.

This made Liu Hong gradually very awkward, and said in his heart that it was fortunate that there was no such thing as a handful of beard, otherwise it would be really disappointing.

However, Rao is like this also made Liu Hong gradually muttered in his heart, is such a guy who was born and raised in Dongying really trustworthy?

"I am, I don't know if Liu Gongzi is here, I hope I will forgive me!" Saemon bowed to Liu Hong gradually, neither humble nor arrogant.

The Nishiyama merchant was the most important trading partner of the Tagawa family, and after the closure of the country, they were only allowed to trade with the designated fleet in designated ports, and the trade objects could only be the Ming Dynasty or the Netherlands.

The Dutch killed his father and besieged his brother, and Saemon naturally hated him, and Eiyama Shoai was the most important economic lifeline for him and the Tagawa family.

Saemon's Daming language was extremely standard, which made Liu Hongjian very surprised, and after a few words of greeting, several people entered the living room.

Niu Dabang mallet and Chang Yu and other four guards followed Liu Hongjian inch by inch, Zuoemon looked back, seemed to know the style of the Ming people, and did not say anything.

"Here, this son is not a big deal, but he is bored to come to Dongying to see if there are other business opportunities.

Oh yes, I heard that the Dutch have been arrogant lately, and I heard that they killed your guys, is this true or false? Liu Hong gradually knew what Saemon was thinking, and said casually.

"I don't want to mention this matter, I just hate that I can't go to Nanyang in person and share a thing or two with my eldest brother." Saemon sighed.

"Speaking of your eldest brother, this son still knows a little bit about him!" Liu Hong gradually glanced at Saemon.

"Oh? Liu Gongzi, please speak, how is my eldest brother doing? Have you ever been out of trouble? Saemon stood up with a loud voice, his expression extremely solemn.

"Let me ask you, what would you do if your eldest brother also died in Nanyang?" Liu Hongjian didn't tell him directly, but stared at Saemon's eyes tightly.

"Then I will destroy my family and relieve the trouble, and swear not to share the sky with the Dutch!" Saemon said angrily without the slightest hesitation.

"Good! Your eldest brother didn't misread you. Liu Hongjian naturally saw the decision in Saemon's eyes, and said with great satisfaction.

"So...... My big brother is he okay? Saemon was also hot-headed just now, and when he calmed down, he heard the meaning of Liu Hongji's words.

Since it is if, then his eldest brother should naturally be out of trouble.

"Hahaha, your eldest brother is not only fine, but he was also rescued by this king, and now he is the commander of Nan Anbo and Nanyang Naval Division of the Ming Dynasty." Liu Hong smiled gradually.

"Are you...... The King of Anguo? Saemon has seen the king of Ankoku! After all, Saemon was in charge of the Zheng family's business in Toei, and he immediately understood who the person in front of him was.

In addition to being surprised in his heart, he admired the prince who was appointed by his brother to make him trustworthy.

Now that the Dutch are powerful, I heard that the Dutch merchants in Dongying said that their country's fleet had blocked the Daming Sea area, and the prince dared to come to Dongying in such a situation, which shows his courage.

"Get up quickly, your eldest brother and I have a lot of friendship, you don't need to see each other like this, and tell this king about the situation here!" Liu Hong's right hand was raised weakly, and he said to the left guard.

Since receiving orders from Liu Hongjian a few months ago, Saemon has set about cultivating his own power, not only secretly recruiting hundreds of down-and-out samurai, but also separating the core industry from the Tagawa family.

However, the Dutch bribed the officials of the shogunate with their powerful fleet and strong financial resources, and the Cao family acted as the dog legs of the Dutch, and the Zheng family's industry in Dongying could not support it for long in the long run.

"It's okay, this king came this time to meet this Cao Sanxi for a while, and see how this dog traitor betrayed the country!" Liu Hong gradually said meaningfully.

Liu Hongjian has always been worried about this fish that slipped through the net, and he and Uncle Chongzhen should not have let go of this guy when they were in Liaodong, blaming him for being too kind at that time.

"Saemon obeys the orders of the prince!" Saemon immediately knelt on the ground and pledged his loyalty.

He naturally knew that his brother's ability to get out of trouble and be reused by the Ming court was inseparable from the help of the prince in front of him, and he knew that this prince and his brother were sworn brothers, although he didn't understand why Liu Hongjian didn't make this relationship clear, but Saemon didn't ask much.

This is easy to do, the elder brother is favored by the prince and ordered by the prince, he naturally knows who to listen to.

"Well, hurry up, you have to change your hairstyle, it's too ugly." Liu Hong gradually glanced at Saemon's head and gave the first order.

Saemon touched his head and was a little confused, as is the case with the people of Toei, and he is no exception.

"Are you a Ming man? Or Dongying people? ”

"My brother fought for the Ming Dynasty, and Saemon is naturally a Ming person."

"That's it, since you are a Ming person, the parents of the body hair and skin, this hairstyle and dress should naturally follow the Ming Dynasty, this king still thinks you were born bald!" Liu Hong gradually laughed.

"But if that's the case, the people of the shogunate will naturally be suspicious!" Saemon said worriedly that the reason why the shogunate refused to let him go back to the Ming Dynasty was because of this concern.

"The shogunate? What is a shogunate? You can just change it!

Oh yes, since you have the blood of the Han family in your body, you should naturally have a Han name.

Your brother's name is Zheng Sen, and this king will give you one, it is for Zheng Lin! ”
