Chapter 20: The arrogant envoy Wang Fuzhi

The morning sun is like a light bulb in the refrigerator, powerless. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sea breeze blows violently and makes it feel very cold. Ten miles outside the city, the grass is everywhere, but at the moment it is crowded. It was packed with a queue of people who came to greet them.

Kayama Hisamori, who accompanied Shimazu Mitsuhisa to greet the team, quietly watched the scene in front of him. Compared to the greeting procession of at least a few hundred people, the queue of visitors was very small.

There are only one and two Ming envoys stationed in Japan, and there are not many retinues around them, and there are not tens of thousands of garrisons and fleets as in Korea.

However, it only takes one exercise of the festival to suppress the Satsuma clan family, which has tens of thousands of soldiers. He had to temporarily abandon the plan to clean up the Zheng clan and try his best to receive the envoys from the Ming Dynasty.

This is the majesty of the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, a thought suddenly arose in Kayama Jiushou: It's really good to be a Chinese.

……

Tanegashima is cold at night.

But Zheng Zhilong liked the feeling, and the cold wind made him feel at least much clearer. Yes, ever since he received the letter from his son and brother from the Satsuma clan, he had felt groggy and unconscious.

It was as if his whole head had been hit hard, and he couldn't think anymore without his energy.

When he arrived at the bow of the ship, facing the salty sea breeze, this drowsiness was a little less, allowing Zheng Zhilong to start thinking again.

Undoubtedly, this time he gambled big. The whole Zheng clan was blocked, and everything seemed smooth and wonderful at first. But as soon as Da Ming made a move, even if he didn't deliberately target the Zheng family, he still dropped the Zheng family's situation.

It was as if my opponent hadn't used any force before I had fallen down.

This taste is not pleasant to put on anyone.

Fortunately, since Zhu Cihong pacified Jiannu, Zheng Zhilong had long since extinguished his thoughts of confronting Jiannu. It's as if he did it at this time when he faced the Qing people to destroy the Ming Kingdom and enter Fujian. He didn't think about fighting against the huge Qing state at all, he just wanted to get a satisfactory position from the new dynasty.

Originally scheduled to be historical. If Zheng Zhilong simply took refuge in the Qing people as a maritime merchant, it didn't matter. It's a pity that Zheng Zhilong at that time was not only a maritime merchant, but also a Ming official. Even if this Zhao'an is in name only, but later Zheng Zhilong was in charge of the military power of the Longwu Dynasty.

Zheng Zhilong took refuge in the Qing people, bringing not only his entire net worth, but also burying the future of the Ming Dynasty. In the original history, in another nine months, Zheng Zhilong, who was in charge of the military power of the Longwu Dynasty, would swear an oath with the commander of the Qing army, Belebolo, and shave his hair and surrender.

It's a pity that Zheng Zhilong, who sold Daming, was soon sold by the Qing people. As soon as we saw that the number of Ming Qi had been exhausted, there was no hope for the anti-Qing cause. The commander of the Qing army, Belle Bolo, used "casting the seal of the governor of Fujian and Guangzhou to wait for the general" as a bait, and sent people to recruit Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong was stunned, despite the repeated persuasion of his subordinates and his son Zheng Chenggong (still called Zheng Sen at this time), he still surrendered to the Qing with a few 500 people, and as a result, he was put under house arrest and imprisoned, and finally distributed Ningguta with several of his brothers, and in the Kangxi period, he was directly beheaded with more than a dozen of his family members in Jingshi Caishikou.

In this plane, at the same time.

It seems that the fate is like this, Zheng Zhilong and his family took refuge in the Japanese, but they were sold by the Japanese and wanted to rob this fat sheep.

The only thing that made Zheng Zhilong feel better was ...... At least as originally planned, his son Zheng Sen was very competitive.

Originally, Zheng Sen cleaned up his father's family business, re-established a maritime dynasty, and used Taiwan as a base to continue the cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty.

In this time and space, Zheng Sen was abducted to Japan, and he also took more than 500 people to resist the atrocities of the Japanese.

"The generation is getting stronger and stronger...... "The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the fleet set sail and left Tanegashima in the night.

It was less than an hour before receiving the news, and Zheng Zhilong's decision was very fast, and the Japanese troops who were about to arrive on Tanegashima would not have time to act even if they wanted to.

In the face of the powerful Zheng clan, the Satsuma Domain, which is not strong on the water, is difficult to resist, and even a sneak attack may not have much chance of winning, let alone a hard attack?

The wind rises, and sails north.

Zheng Zhilong saw a new port at the halfway point between Kushikino and Chinatown.

It was the result of negotiations between Zheng Zhilong and the Satsuma Domain, and this port would be used as the location of the Zheng Clan's fleet. Even the power to name it was handed over to the Zheng clan, lest the Zheng clan station the fleet in the main port of the Satsuma Domain.

Zheng Sen understands Shimazu's concerns.

In the face of the powerful power of the sailor, as the master, everyone is worried.

Zheng Sen unceremoniously named the port Xinhua Port.

Very Chinese name.

However, the port's capacity is very limited, and most of the ships can only drift overseas.

Zheng Zhilong has no objection to this.

The others can line up, as long as he can land smoothly.

Zheng Zhilong met Zheng Sen at ten o'clock in the morning, in a huge school yard. There were more than 3,000 horses and horses practicing.

And this is still the garrison of Xinhuagang. It is reported that there are still 2,000 people urgently mobilized in the city of China, and 500 people in the city.

In other words, there were more than 5,500 soldiers in the small Satsuma clan who did not belong to the Japanese, but to the Chinese.

Zheng Sen, who led the military training, was so busy that he was sweating profusely, and when he returned to the tent to see Zheng Zhilong, he couldn't stop sweating, and drank two large bowls of salt water in one go, and the two parties sat down.

Looking at his sweaty son, who was full of vitality, Zheng Zhilong was both proud and a little tired in his heart. It's a tiredness that can't keep up with the tide of change.

Counting up, since Zheng Sen went to Nanjing to study with Qian Qianyi, the father and son have not seen each other for a long time.

In his memory, Zheng Sen was just a young offspring in Zheng Zhilong's eyes. Even the last time Zheng Sen put forward a lot of opinions, Zheng Zhilong was just a child messing around, letting it go, and rushing to exercise. It's just that as the son of a wealthy man, Zheng Zhilong has more resources to deploy to his son to mess around.

It's like Wang Jianlin's attitude towards Wang Sicong, giving him 500 million in tuition fees to make him mess around, and he will go back after being cheated.

It's just that Wang Sicong was not deceived, but made a fortune.

Similarly, Zheng Sen did not mess around, he made great achievements and grew into a pivotal figure in the Zheng family.

As long as you look at the more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, you can understand that the power in Zheng Zhibao's hands is also under Zheng Sen's command.

"Father, the child has not disgraced you. The task given to the child was successfully completed by the child. Zheng Sen said mischievously.

"It's not just a success. If it weren't for Fosong, we wouldn't be here to negotiate now, but to come back to hold a funeral for the big guy. This is a great achievement, saving thousands of people. I took the big guy across the ocean, left Fujian, went to Taiwan, and came to Japan. For what? It's not that I want the big guy to have a good life. But the fatigue of crossing the ocean has not been a few days, and the Japanese have betrayed their promises. When the message came back, I was really ...... I can't wait to hang myself to thank the world. Zheng Zhilong said, and couldn't help but have red eyes.

That is, in front of his brother and son, Zheng Zhilong can still reveal his true feelings.

In the outer world, he really wanted to say a few words in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything.

He is the backbone of the Zheng family, and even the backbone of the main heart has been shaken, so does this team have a future?

"Big brother, why bother. You've done well enough. Everyone who follows you here is trusting you. If there is no big brother, let alone a good life in Japan, it is unknown whether he will be able to survive until now. Zheng Zhibao comforted.

Zheng Sen understood what the crux was, Zheng Zhibao was so comforting, but it increased Zheng Zhilong's psychological burden, so he said: "Father, please be relieved, although there are some minor problems at the moment. But not to the point where it is out of control. Far from it, for us, this is not only a crisis, but also an opportunity. ”

"Oh?" They are all manly husbands, and there are not so many mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law. The sensibility was quickly abandoned, and when Zheng Zhilong heard that there was a solution, he refreshed himself: "Tell me about Fusong's plan." ”

"Originally, I was a little unsure about my plan. But recently, I received a new message. Even the envoy of the Ming Dynasty also came to the Satsuma Domain. With the addition of this link, I have more confidence in my plan. It's just that it's still up to my father to decide. As he spoke, Zheng Zhilong smiled softly and told his plan.

As soon as this plan was opened, Zheng Zhibao was full of praise: "Big brother has a good child." As soon as this plan came out, not only did the original worries disappear. It can also give my Zheng family a new life, and it can relieve all the worries before. ”

"Yes, yes......" Zheng Zhilong nodded, but soon closed his eyes, said something on his mouth, touched his temples with one hand, and kneaded them gently.

As if sensing that his reaction was wrong, Zheng Zhilong coughed lightly and said, "I think Fusong's plan is feasible. I'm thinking about it, picking up the gaps for my children. I'm getting older and my energy is running out. Let me think again, let me think again......"

With that, Zheng Zhilong said goodbye to Zheng Sen and Zheng Zhibao, and found a room to rest.

Zheng Sen is naturally not bored enough to doubt what Zheng Zhilong will do, but Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Zhilong get along day and night, how can they not be familiar with their brother?

My brother is not such an indecisive person, and he must have something to hide from him.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhibao couldn't help frowning. However, since Zheng Zhilong didn't want to say it, he would definitely not be asked by himself.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhibao sighed in his heart, and turned to the point: "Fusong, have you dealt with Wang Fuzhi?" ”

"I didn't deal with each other, but I could get in touch. Before my father came, I had already written to him. Just last night, a reply was received. In the letter, Ambassador Wang's attitude was good. When I mentioned a few points, Ambassador Wang understood what he meant, and he expressed some interest. All in all, it's a good sign. I'm confident that I'll be able to surprise those Japanese people! Zheng Sen is in his chest.

……

Wang Fuzhi was sent to settle in a courtyard of the Shimazu family. It was originally a large private garden built by the Shimazu family, but unfortunately it was a lack of finances, and only a compact version was built.

If you want to build a garden, the Japanese style is certainly interesting. However, the world's gardens, of course, are the first in the Ming Dynasty, Suzhou and Hangzhou. Therefore, this garden called Moon Bird Garden also has a bit of Chinese style, which makes Wang Fuzhi feel cordial and smile with a smile.

Once China and Japan establish diplomatic relations, Wang Fuzhi will also have his own ambassador's residence to live. Unlike the embassy, which is an office space, as an ambassador to Japan, Wang Fuzhi represents the Ming Dynasty and the face of His Majesty's envoys. The official residence is built, and it is naturally a garden villa, which is atmospheric, elegant and comfortable. In short, it will definitely increase face.

Although the Moon Bird Garden provided by Mitsuhisa Shimazu is certainly not as good, it is also very dedicated.

The guests and hosts met each other for the first time, and the atmosphere was harmonious, at least on the official and public occasions, and everyone behaved personably and well-mannered.

As an envoy abroad, Wang Fuzhi doesn't have to worry about people, will the characters from the state of etiquette still be afraid of these red tape?

In general, of course.

Most of the Shimazu family retainers, including Kayama Hisamori, had a very good impression of Wang Fuzhi's first impression: he was gentle and elegant, and he was a very gentlemanly Chinese man.

However, after such a gentlemanly envoy met with Shimazu Mitsuhisa for a one-on-one meeting, the first topic showed a very difficult face: "Sino-Japanese trade is imminent, and I have arrived in the Satsuma Domain for two things. First, check the progress of the evacuation of the Satsuma Domain, and inform the Satsuma Domain of the specific evacuation action plan under the witness of the officials of the Edo Ariji Domain. Second, we will visit suitable treaty ports in Japan. For the Ming Dynasty, China and Japan had a not so pleasant history after all. Whether it is the court or the people, there will be some doubts about trade. Not only do I wonder if I can make money, but I am also worried about whether I can make money back alive. After all, there is a good saying, there is a life to earn and no life to spend, isn't it. I can tell you the exact news that the number of Japanese treaty ports that will be opened for the first time is only ...... Five. ”

Wang Fuzhi talked eloquently, but Shimazu Mitsuhisa frowned.

The first question is already very difficult, but I didn't expect the second question to be even more acute.

First of all, the testimony of the Edo Ariji official, saying that it is a witness, is it not a supervision? As for the word inform, the use of the word "inform" is even more arrogant. What is notification? That is, we have discussed and decided, and now we will tell you that you can do it.

The Satsuma clan had no power to resist.

In front of Daming, a chef with a knife and fork, he could only change to a more comfortable posture to bear it......

This is the fate of the meat on the board.
