"Won. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Your Majesty won. A battle to win...... Jiaozhou became famous in the first war, and the strength of the imperial sailors has been known to the world since then. After this war, the Japanese looked at the Ming Dynasty again, and it was already a different attitude. The strong are respected...... Previously, they only felt that Ming Guofu was rich. Now, I will also understand that the Ming Kingdom is as strong as ......" Zheng Zhihu said this sentence, the bitterness was boundless, it should have been a celebration of the whole world, but since Zheng Zhihu knew what the eldest brother had done, he no longer felt a little happy, he just felt that the whole sky had fallen.

"Sure enough, sure enough. My good son, he did the right thing. Fusong's decision saved the Zheng family. It also saved the hard work of our brothers for a lifetime. Since...... The winner is decided. It's also time for us to take responsibility. After Zheng Zhilong said this, the whole person grew old, and it seemed that he had lost all his magic skills in an instant.

Zheng Zhihu struggled for a moment: "Big brother, is there no way anymore?" Only...... Such? ”

"I'm not afraid of hardship, and I'm willing to follow my eldest brother again" Zheng Zhibao's eyes were firm: "It's just ...... Alas"

"How many kinds of punishments are there in the Ming Dynasty, haven't we heard about it less? If there is no explanation, the matter of this Nine Clans will be done sooner or later. Responsibility must be assumed. Previously, I had heard the story of a Spaniard. If you want to atone for your previous sins, you can only do this. The fleet, I've already explained it. My wife is young, and she has settled down. Only if we take all the responsibilities this time can Fukumatsu manage the Zheng family's business in the Satsuma Domain. Zheng Zhilong said this, forcibly cheered up, and said: "This matter must be done beautifully." I have already instructed the court to give as much silver as the court wants. There are a total of five million taels of silver left in the few places that are hidden, and all kinds of assets can be given to the court. As long as...... Fusong is safe and sound. ”

Participated in the heinous crime of betraying His Majesty the Emperor's whereabouts and luring the Japanese to ambush His Majesty the Emperor, if only five million taels and one Zheng family's property can be exchanged for the heir to inherit a little inheritance safe and sound, Zheng Zhilong is already content.

"I listen to my eldest brother's ......"

"Me ...... too"

……

After Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao finished speaking, they looked at this piece of world with infinite nostalgia and sighed heavily.

The world has indeed changed.

It's no longer the era when they flaunted their might. Now is the time for young people. Zheng Sen is right...... Zhu Cihong is the final winner.

……

Zheng Sen sat in the office building of the Zheng family trading house in Shurijo Castle, holding a letter sent from the Satsuma Domain in his hand, covering his face and being silent for a long time.

Originally, it was full of joy.

His Majesty's warships overwhelmingly defeated the fleet of the Japanese and added a touch of luster to His Majesty's military exploits. Everyone no longer has to worry about the ransom of 200,000 taels. Daming Erlang raised his eyebrows even more, and the Japanese looked at the Chinese differently. The Japanese people I have dealt with lately have become extraordinarily humble.

But at this time, a letter from his father was like a thunderbolt from the sky, making Zheng Sen stand on the spot.

On the letter, he completely told the ghosts that the Zheng family had done back then, and even mentioned the fact that he had sent someone to try to contact Jiannu. Although he did not partner with Jiannu in the end, Zheng Sen knew about it when he obstructed the return of Liao. Not to mention that leaking His Majesty's whereabouts this time is even more deserving of death.

Looking back on this scene, Zheng Sen already felt cold in his heart.

The great future seems to be coming to an end.

He smiled bitterly and exhaled softly.

Everything that has been done in the past is a debt, and the father and the son pay the debt. Now that the Zheng family is in charge of Zheng Sen, it is natural for Zheng Sen to dispose of it.

Even Zheng Zhilong himself persuaded Zheng Sen to turn himself in at the end of the letter.

"Lin Feng, go and call Uncle Cai and all the Zheng clan managers in Ryukyu. I have something to command...... Also, give me a quasi-number of how much money is in the account. Sort it out for me. Zheng Sen seemed to have regained his composure, called people over one by one, arranged the affairs of the Zheng Trading Company, and finally learned all the funds in the Zheng Trading Company's account now.

Speaking of which, it is indeed amazing.

Shimazu Mitsuhisa and Yamauchi Tadashi said that the Zheng family only had 500,000 taels of silver in his hands, and of course he fooled Yamauchi Tadahiro. If you just have such a little money, where can you be called the first maritime businessman?

Not to mention that in order to immigrate, the Zheng family naturally closed most of the accounts, and the cash in hand continued to be the highest in history, reaching five million taels of cash. Of course, they were scattered all over the place, and only Zheng Sen held a part of the map. It's like a treasure map.

Now, Zheng Zhilong has explained all these details to Zheng Sen.

After some preparations, Zheng Sen asked to see His Majesty the Emperor.

Zhu Cihong is holding a celebration ceremony with Shang Xian to celebrate a series of political, economic, and military agreements between the Ming Dynasty and the Ryukyus. Ryukyu is a good place, and it was even more important in the maritime age. Naturally, it also needs to be carefully managed by the Ming Dynasty to create a template for prosperity and prosperity, as a sample for the Ming Dynasty to attack other countries in the future. It can be said that Zhu Cihong has the intention to set a model with Ryukyu.

Compared to Korea and Japan, the Ryukyus are small in size and have a small population, but they have excellent geographical conditions. It is easy to prosper through commercial prosperity, and thus become a model of Chinese civilization transforming foreign countries.

The typical power is strong, and once it is established, those foreigners will naturally rush to get closer to China first.

Of course, the opposition is quite powerful compared to North Korea and Japan. Ryukyu is much more relaxed here, facing the majesty of His Majesty the Emperor and the hundreds of years of operation of the Ming Dynasty. Especially this time to get the Ryukyus out of the control of the Japanese, but also to make the Ryukyus grateful to Dade, in the face of such a good thing, there is only a lot of surprise, where will it be stopped?

Naturally, everything went well.

All went well meant that Zhu Cihong's arrangement took more time than expected.

Maybe that's why, maybe His Majesty the Emperor has been prepared for a long time.

In short, Zheng Sen soon met Zhu Cihong.

The location is in the palace arranged by Shang Xian.

Shurijo Castle is an island, and the palace is built on a hill surrounded by mountains and the sea. In particular, a place with a famous Fengming Pavilion is the sea breeze, sparkling, and the scenery is beautiful for a while.

Looking at such a beautiful scenery, Zheng Sen seemed to relax a little, and he noticed that His Majesty the Emperor was in a good mood.

It's just that what he's going to do next is something that spoils his good mood.

"Student Zheng Sen, meet Your Majesty." Zheng Sen saluted respectfully.

"Originally, I wanted to send someone over to comfort you. Unexpectedly, Zheng came by himself. Sit down, mourn and change. Zhu Cihong said with relief, but his expression was very complicated.

Zheng Sen looked at Zhu Cihong blankly, and said in his heart, what kind of mourning is this, but he still responded respectfully and directly opened the topic: "The student is guilty, and he doesn't dare to be His Majesty's leniency." Cheng ...... There are many crimes, such as the crimes of returning the Liao Order, and even committing heinous crimes...... Father's ......"

As he spoke, Zheng Sen trembled slightly, and told him about the crimes of the Zheng clan in the Liao Order, and when he found the Tosa Domain, he informed His Majesty the Emperor of his whereabouts.

After finishing speaking, Zheng Sen bowed respectfully, sighed heavily, and said: "Student, I am willing to donate a total of five million taels of silver, including the assets of the Zheng family's trading company, all of which will be handed over to the court." I only beg His Majesty to forgive my father and other relatives, and let the students serve their parents, even if they are exiled for thousands of miles, as long as the students are allowed to follow and serve, the students ...... They are willing to forgive this heinous sin! ”

After Zheng Sen finished speaking, he just bowed to the ground, and his words were already slightly choked.

Zhu Cihong sighed lightly, looked at Zheng Sen with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but recall how he felt when Yamauchi Tadanao told him that the inner room was Zheng Zhilong.

Hearing that it was Zheng Zhilong who leaked his whereabouts, Zhu Cihong felt very complicated, both angry and cold.

Thousands of miles, thousands of miles of waves. Rushed from the Ming Dynasty, including Wang Fuzhi and himself, ran for several months to solve the problem of the Zheng clan in the Satsuma Domain. It can be said that the addition of Daming is the key to Zheng's real turnaround.

If it weren't for Zhu Cihong's willingness to help, Zheng Sen's free trade zone plan would never have moved Shimazu Mitsuhisa, no matter how exquisite it was.

Not to mention that Shimazu Mitsuhisa is now respectful, as if he is Japan's number one pro-Ming faction. At this point, the tens of thousands of immigrants who followed Zheng Zhilong to immigrate to Japan can be regarded as truly safe.

But......

turned his head, but Zhu Cihong was sold. Or the Zheng family who benefited the most, how does this not make Zhu Cihong feel angry and feel cold?

As soon as he heard Yamauchi's honest report, Zhu Cihong immediately asked Jinyiwei to investigate thoroughly. Subsequently, the results were indeed confirmed.

However, when the Ming army on Kagoshima started to arrest him, there was a piece of news that made Zhu Cihong feel extraordinary.

"Actually, I just received a message from the Satsuma Domain. Your father...... and your uncles Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao. The three men, including hundreds of sailors, were killed in the storm heading to Edo the day before. In particular, your father's corpse was also drifted to Edo, and after identification, it was indeed your father's...... It's your two uncles, the corpse is gnawed by the fish, and you can't recognize it......" Zhu Cihong finished speaking, but he felt a little relieved in his heart.

When people are dead, everything is naturally liberated.

Not only the dead themselves, but the rest of the people will feel this way. At least, Zhu Cihong will have a feeling of being above the heavens and having eyes.

Of course, what made Zhu Cihong feel a little warm the most was Zheng Sen's sensibility.

is worthy of Zhu Cihong's own fancy, he has this sense of responsibility, and is willing to take all the blame off, and is only willing to exchange for the peace of his relatives. This kid, there is Dandang. is worthy of being the future national surname.

Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong comforted Zheng Sen instead: "What you say, the court will investigate them one by one, and the guilty will not let them go." But those who are dead will not be prosecuted. Now, the court is gradually generous, and it is no longer prosperous. You Zheng Sen has a credit to the Ming Dynasty, and I will not fail you. But your father is dead, and you still need to mourn and change. ”

When Zheng Sen heard this, his eyes suddenly moistened: "No wonder...... No wonder my father had to give me everything. No wonder...... No wonder the letter is so trivial and detailed. It turned out that the last time I saw it, it was a farewell! ”

Zhu Cihong quietly looked at Zheng Sen, his eyes were red, his words were choked, and he sighed lightly, but he didn't speak in a hurry.

Zheng Sen quickly reacted, this was not the place for him to cry, and immediately cheered up and said, "Your Majesty! Even so, the sins of the Zheng family sitting down should be borne by the Zheng family. The father's debts and sons' repayment, the Zheng's past development, and the wealth they have accumulated, I don't know how many people's blood is infected. Whether it is the return of the Liao Order, or the naval battle that should not have happened, it is the sin of my Zheng family. Students, don't care about this ill-gotten gain. The students are willing to hand over all the Zheng family's property, fleet, and trading company to the state to atone for their sins! ”

Zhu Cihong was silent.

He remembered the comrades-in-arms who died in the Fuliao War, and also recalled the sailors and soldiers who died in the great battle just now. Zhu Cihong can indeed forgive this young talent with a good impression magnanimously.

However, the state has its own laws, and the family has its own rules.

Zheng Zhilong and others are dead, but it doesn't mean that they won't be disposed of. Not to mention that Zheng Cai and other Zheng clans have committed many sins and are still waiting to be reckoned, let's just say that in the recent battle, the victory is glorious, but what about the soldiers who can be sacrificed?

They can't be allowed to die in vain.

"You've made up your mind?" Zhu Cihong's eyes burned.

Zheng Sen's eyes were full of clarity: "The students are willing. ”

"I took it. But I won't put it in the treasury. Zhu Cihong thought for a while, wrote a note casually, and then said: "I'll write you a note, and you go to Zhu Zhiyu of the Education Administration." I had previously proposed an idea with Zhu Qing's family to use non-governmental forces to help the cause of education. If you engage in a project, it is called the Hope Project. Children are the hope of the empire. The education of children is also the most important part of the education of the Empire. Educating children from the age of six to become literate is the hope that my family and Zhu Qing's family have always dreamed of. In the past, although the fiscal situation has been tilted, it has not been able to move forward due to financial resources. Since you intend to contribute to the Zheng family, that's just right. ”

"I have decided to establish the Hope Foundation, and the first income will be your Zheng family's equity. All of Zheng's equity will be recorded in the name of the Hope Foundation. From now on, the Zheng family will be renamed Hope Company, and every cent of your income will no longer belong to you Zheng Sen, but to any one of your Zheng family. Of course, you can also take a salary that you deserve and take care of the family. The hope company will also be open to the whole society under the strictest financial system. What do you think? It's too late to regret it now. Zhu Cihong looked at Zheng Sen's expression with a serious face.

Zheng Sen was full of admiration: "The students are so impressed that they fall to the ground. To be honest, the students were worried that if the money was simply handed over to the state treasury, it would inevitably be corrupted by corrupt officials. Students don't mind money and other things outside of their body, they just worry that they won't be able to atone for their sins. Education, let the doll read, this is the most serious thing. The students were convinced, and there was no need to worry about it. This kind of strategy is really admired by the students. ”
