Chapter 746: Tagawa Nanazaemon
The Zheng family suffered this catastrophe, Cao Sanxi was absolutely inextricably involved, thinking of his father's tragic situation, Zheng Sen's hand clasped the boat gang.
"It's really a narrow road!" Liu Hong gradually patted Zheng Sen's shoulder as a sign of comfort.
The Cao family united with the Dutch to murder the Zheng family for the sake of trade, which was an extremely shameful traitor in the eyes of Liu Hongji.
Whether you are a coolie, a businessman, an official, or simply a beggar, the lowest bottom line in your heart is your sense of identity and honor and disgrace.
Betraying compatriots for business, and even murdering tens of thousands of people, such people cannot be kept.
"Old Qi, order the Jingyuan and Weiyuan, and let Cui Geng and Qi Yuanbi stop those three merchant ships!" Liu Hong gradually picked up the walkie-talkie and said to Qi Yuangong.
Jingyuan and Weiyuan, as the vanguard of the Beiyang Naval Division, have always been at the forefront.
"Yes, my lord, but what if they won't give in?"
The Beiyang Naval Division was short of fuel, and it was not necessarily possible for a multi-sail merchant ship to run fast when it was downwind.
"You're welcome, then sink it!" Liu Hong said immediately.
After floating on the sea for so long, now that he has something to do, Liu Hong gradually feels that he is finally no longer bored.
Cao Sanxi is definitely an old fox, when Liu Hongjian and Uncle Chongzhen attacked Jiannu in Liaodong, this guy was a traitor, although Cao Sanxi didn't know it.
But for the sake of the big plan, Liu Hongjian gave this guy a chance, although he extorted a lot of silver taels from Cao Sanxi.
But this time, this old Cao hat almost killed his little brother, which is unbearable.
How can merchant ships be the opponents of warships, the leader of the three Cao family merchant ships is a middle-aged fat man named Zhai Shiming.
Seeing the huge fleet as far as the eye can see, this guy was furious, and he wanted to turn the rudder and detour, but when he saw two warships rushing towards them, he suddenly lost the idea of resisting.
The Cao family has not been happy recently, and Cao Sanxi's abacus hit the ground.
Zheng Zhilong was expelled by the Ming Dynasty, Cao Sanxi thought that he could beat the water dogs, and it was easy to connect the Dutch line and kill Zheng Zhilong, who would have thought that the imperial court would be angry because of this, and sent the Beiyang Navy Division to intervene.
Cao Sanxi didn't know the relationship between Liu Hongjian and Zheng Sen, and he didn't expect that Liu Hongji's revenge would be so rapid that he didn't have time to withdraw the property in Liaodong.
There is also the new Dongchang factory supervisor who is responsible for the quarrel, the first time this guy took the quarrel on the errand was too careful, with the fan of the East Factory was day and night, it only took four days to rush to the Cao family's lair, and then it took three days to move the Cao family to the bottom, I heard that later I also got Xiao Zhu's praise.
After the East Window incident, Cao Sanxi took the backbone to shift the focus of business to Japan, which had been operating, but once there was no market in Daming, Cao Sanxi found that business was so difficult to do.
Fortunately, with the support of the Dutch, the Cao family provided iron ore for the Netherlands, and Zhai Shiming's three ships were all iron ore.
He also wanted to run, but the hull was too heavy to run fast at all, and it didn't take long for Zhai Shiming to be taken to Liu Hongji's flagship Shanhaiguan like a mournful woman.
As the senior steward of the Cao family, Zhai Shiming naturally knew where this fleet came from, and even more knew what he was going to face.
"The official spares his life! The little one is just an errand boy of the Cao family, and the little one is not guilty! Zhai Shiming wanted to climb up to Liu Hongjian to hug Liu Hongji's legs, but before he could get close, he was kicked by Niu Zhuang and knelt on the ground.
Zhai Shiming is soft enough, Liu Hongjian said that he likes it very much, and there is almost nothing to do, Zhai Shiming told all the Cao family affairs he knew, and swore that he made his position clear.
The Japanese power of the Cao family is actually not small, and the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan issued a national closure decree as early as a few years ago, leaving only the Zheng family and the Cao family to do foreign trade with some Dutch merchants.
The Tokugawa shogunate took care of the Zheng family because it was funded by Zheng Zhilong's godfather Li Dan.
Among the three foreign businessmen in Japan, the Zheng family is the most powerful, the Dutch is the second, and the Cao family is again.
After the Dutch and the Cao family were embarrassed to kill the Zheng family, Cao San was happy and sad to find that his share not only did not increase because of the fall of the Zheng family, but also declined.
It's just that people are swords and I am fish and meat, Cao Sanxi has no ability to fight against the fleet of the East India Company at all, so he can only swallow his anger, regretting that he has killed the Zheng family, and at the same time he broke his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach.
"If the Cao family is all your virtue, it will be difficult not to fall." Liu Hong gradually sat on the recliner and shook his fan, saying disdainfully.
"Da Mu, this person is handed over to you." Seeing that Zheng Sen had been standing aside with a gloomy face, Liu Hong gradually said casually.
Zhai Shiming saw a young man stare at him with cannibalistic eyes, how could he not know what this person was going to do, crying and begging for mercy while retreating.
Surrounded by Liu Hongji's personal guards, where could Zhai Shiming retreat, as soon as he took two steps back, he was kicked forward by the guards and gnawed the mud.
"No one is innocent, since you have enjoyed the blessings given to you by the Cao family, you naturally have to bear the price of the Cao family's sins." Zheng Sen pulled out the saber at his waist.
A knife flashed with cold light, and in Zhai Shiming's exclamation, Zheng Sen raised the knife and fell to the Cao family.
"Father, if you watch from the sky, your son will kill all the Cao family to avenge you and your elders." Zheng Sen muttered.
Niu Zhuang on the side saw Liu Hong gradually pinching his nose, and he rarely saw it, and immediately ordered two guards to throw Zhai Shiming's body into the sea.
Dust to dust, dust to earth, corpses to the belly of the fish, no waste at all.
"My lord, these three ships are all pulling iron ore, what should I do with my humble duties?" Qi Yuangong said on the other end of the walkie-talkie.
"Pull it back, of course! Kindness...... Stay on the shore in Quanzhou and hand over the three boats to the Mu family. Liu Hong gradually thought about it.
Xishan Shanghe has a branch in Quanzhou, and Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo, is the person who speaks in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Yunnan and Guizhou, and he can sell it at a good price.
As for handing over to the state treasury, Liu Hongjian never thought about it, this was his windfall, and Xiao Zhu was originally the major shareholder of Xishan Shanghe, so of course the silver was earned by himself.
"Big brother, we should send more people to Japan." Zheng Sen adjusted his mood and suddenly whispered to Liu Hong.
"Oh? Why did Da Mu say this? Liu Hongjian was still a little brother and wanted to take him to Japan with the Beiyang Sailors.
But the expression is not very similar, and the little brother is not an unreasonable person, so he asked curiously.
Zheng Sen's expression was solemn, he pulled Liu Hong into the cabin, and closed the door again, just when Liu Hong gradually became more and more puzzled and wanted to ask, Zheng Sen said solemnly.
"My brother Saemon has discovered a silver mine in Japan!"
