Chapter 13: The unevolved version of the country's surname
Whoa......
On the boat, Zheng Sen listened to the waves outside the ship, listened to the sound of the waves, and was in a daze. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Just three days ago, he was a teaching assistant at Nanjing Normal School in the Ming Dynasty, and as Qian Qianyi's protégé, Zheng Sen applied for Qian Qianyi's graduate degree in contemporary literature in accordance with the new regulations of the college, and naturally served as a teaching assistant at the School of Literature of Nanjing Normal School.
Although Qian Qianyi was famous in later generations for a famous allusion that the water was too cool, before this allusion, Qian Qianyi was still quite proud. Although the Donglin Restoration Society declined, the new Donglin Party of Li Banghua and others also supported the Donglin brand.
Leaning against the big tree to enjoy the shade, Qian Qianyi knew that he and Li Banghua were not very good at dealing with each other, and he knew in his heart that he had no chance to get involved in the Jingshi pattern. Especially vaguely, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor did not think very highly of himself, so he simply took up a teaching position in Nanjing Normal School.
Qian Qianyi has a great reputation and a grand identity, and Nanjing Normal School can't ask for his teaching.
For Qian Qianyi, it is also an excellent choice to raise hope here. Unlike the Donglin Academy, which was actually a wild road, Nanjing Normal School is really a good place to maintain prestige.
You know, this is a place where teachers are trained. As a teacher, you can already receive thousands of protégés, not to mention that you will teach a group of teachers?
This is not the afterlife, and although the teacher is glorious, it is shabby. In these days, Mr. Xixi can be said to be a well-respected local figure.
All in all, although Qian Qianyi is disappointed in officialdom, he is not disappointed in Vanity Fair. At least, Zheng Sen, who followed Qian Qianyi, has no criminal record, has a clean and beautiful background, and has such qualifications, and is even expected to enter the team of the middle scholar and become a close minister of the Son of Heaven.
It is rumored that Qian Qianyi once revealed that His Majesty the Emperor had inquired about Zheng Sen's name. It's just that Zhu Cihong's impression is Zheng Chenggong. And the name Zheng Chenggong will not have until the establishment of the Longwu regime. At that time, Zheng Chenggong would be a well-known national surname, and now it can only be an unevolved version.
Therefore, Zheng Sen has no choice but to continue to study with Qian Qianyi in Nanjing Demonstration School.
The family has money, and Zheng Sen never has to worry about eating and drinking. The family even thought that it was the right way to let Zheng Sen study hard, participate in the imperial examination in the future, and glorify his ancestors. When Zheng Sen succeeds in his studies and progresses in his career, the Zheng family can claim to be a scholarly family in the township, and the poetry and books will be heirlooms.
But planning is wonderful.
And the plan is always not changing fast.
A huge change came, like a wave, and Zheng Sen's entire skeleton seemed to be shot apart.
Zheng Sen thought back to the past and felt bitter.
Suddenly, a wealthy family is in turmoil and wants to move abroad. Naturally, as the eldest son of the Zheng family, Zheng Sen had no chance to continue to serve as a teacher at Nanjing Normal School.
From a once decent and respected teacher to a pirate who fled in embarrassment, this identity gap is really an unstoppable loss.
Zheng's large team divided into two routes, one of which migrated from Fujian to Taiwan. There is only one Taiwan Strait, and the Penghu Islands are used as a transit point, so it is the destination of most ordinary ships. They carried the families of the Zheng fleet and began to move forward in a huge way.
For Zheng's epic action, the imperial court was not completely unaware.
It's just that now that the door of the Ming Dynasty has been opened, the pace of overseas colonization has already been opened under the cheers of trendsetters such as the expeditionary company. In the past, crossing the sea may have been a rebellion, but now it is an opportunity for the government to hype up and change its fate.
In fact, the trap of Malthus's population theory has reached the chief officials of the county-level yamen. The judgment of His Majesty the Emperor by the various county orders was both novel and unswerving.
In any case, it would not be a bad thing to send those unemployed homeless people to the sea ship in one go. Whether they can make a fortune or not, at least they won't harm the township.
All in all, Zheng's move to emigrate has attracted attention. But under the banner of overseas colonization, no one noticed the most central anomaly.
Hundreds of thousands of sailors and their families have arrived in Taiwan at this moment, and the red-haired fans of Relanchali are nervous as if they are facing a great enemy, and they feel that the fear of annihilation is about to arrive.
Zheng Zhihu has now arrived in Taiwan and will negotiate with the red-haired chief. If it weren't for the pressure of Daming, I'm afraid that Zheng Zhihu's negotiation would actually turn into a Hongmen banquet, and the red-haired fans would be directly encircled and suppressed.
In addition to the Taiwan road, the other way is the main force of the Zheng family to Japan. There are the most elite soldiers, the most intimate fleet, and the most sophisticated equipment.
Naturally, it also includes the families of the main characters of the Zheng family.
Compared to Taiwan, which may fall on the way to the development of miasma, Japan is obviously much more livable. The Zheng clan has been at war with Japan for more than ten years, and it has a very strong foundation in Japan, which even attracted the lord of the Satsuma domain to make a deal and supported the Zheng clan to immigrate to Japan as a whole.
Distracting thoughts arose frequently in his mind, Zheng Sen touched his face and kneaded it fiercely, so that he could wake up from the drowsiness of ocean voyages and run away those distracting thoughts.
At this point, there is no point in thinking about it.
Importantly, what happens next?
What to do......
The first step is to ask his dad why he is doing all this.
Thinking like this, Zheng Sen calmed down a little. The journey was safe, and with the exception of six ships that were broken during a storm, the huge fleet was lucky enough to arrive at the Satsuma Domain.
Shimazu Mitsuhisa held a grand welcome ceremony, and then pointed to the countryside on the side of the port and said, "Please rest assured that Zheng Sang has migrated here." A thousand houses were prepared for the incoming residents, a total of 2,000 acres of land, to serve as a relocation home for Chinatown. ”
A thousand houses are simply not enough, and 2,000 acres of land can only be said to be enough.
But to be able to do this, Zheng Zhilong will no longer ask for extravagance. He looked at the Zheng personnel who came down from the boat one after another, and was full of emotion. For the Chinese, the land is relocated. Being able to make hundreds of thousands of people wander with them is both a helplessness and a skill.
Re-create the pride of the world.
"Father!" Among the immigrants, Zheng Zhilong also saw Zheng Sen.
Looking at his son, who had grown up and was elegant and beautiful, Zheng Zhilong patted Zheng Sen's shoulder and said, "Child, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Father...... There are gray hairs, too. "Zheng Zhilong has long had gray hair, but many times, others don't notice this.
But right now, the unity of a foreign country to survive highlights the plight of all. Zheng Sen made such a discovery at first glance.
"It's normal to be old." Zheng Zhilong chuckled lightly and said, "When you get off the boat, you will rest quickly." We have to buy supplies and build houses. Rebuild the glory of my Zheng firm. ”
"Arrived in Japan...... Can you continue to trade? Zheng Sen was puzzled.
"Of course, the matter of smuggling, for Da Ming, is a big crime of killing the head. But for Japan, this is a good thing that cannot be desired. Zheng Zhilong said with a smile: "When I returned to Japan, many people were like mourning exams, hmph, I always felt that we were all finished." However, for the Japanese, they are begging for us. This time, as soon as we came, there were many silk reeling workshops to give generous gifts. ”
"If the imperial court knows, I'm afraid this will be tantamount to betrayal......" Zheng Sen snorted, and he stopped talking a little.
"If it's the court before, I believe it." Zheng Zhilong pulled Zheng Sen, walked on the special zone prepared by Shimazu Mitsuhisa, watched the houses built one after another, smiled relaxed, and was unprecedentedly happy: "But success is also Xiao He defeats Xiao He." His Majesty the Emperor is the most disciplined and will not tolerate anyone sabotaging overseas trade and overseas colonization, which is a major matter of making money. We ran away, but what do we say? Inside and out, we are all carrying the banner of His Majesty the Emperor to engage in colonization. Taiwan we developed, Japan, we came. Which step is not to throw a burden on the court? ”
The local government takes the problem of vagrants very seriously and understands that these people are the source of social unrest. At least, in terms of law and order.
Zheng Zhilong took the initiative to run, I don't know how many people are so happy that they can laugh out loud when they sleep.
However, Zheng Sen couldn't laugh: "After all, it's a ...... of uprooting."
"Don't worry." Zheng Zhilong exhaled lightly: "Although we have abandoned the base camp of Fujian, for us, our career is a higher starting point. We are gone, but the business house is still open. Raw silk and other goods can also be purchased from Daming. After decades of accumulation, people will recognize my Zheng Zhilong's name when they see it. Even if it is not good, the big island of Taiwan, with its pleasant climate, is a blessed land. As long as we survive the initial one or two years of running-in period, Taiwan can also harvest the birth silk! ”
Zheng Zhilong's eyes were burning and ambitious.
Although the persecution of the imperial court embarrassed him, it also opened a new door.
The development of Taiwan has actually been done a hundred years ago. But this is the first time that there is such a large development opportunity as Zheng's with deep pockets and large scale.
I don't know if I don't go, I went, and after listening to Zhu Cihong's words, I knew that there was still a new world in this world. Occupying the treasure island of Taiwan, there are countless valuable products that can be sold to the Japanese to continue the previous Zheng trade. There is no need to worry about being liquidated by the Ming court.
"Father, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." Zheng Sen hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to speak: "We are in a foreign land, so it is better to spend this money as soon as possible." If you can, you can even borrow money. Borrow from Shimazu Mitsuhisa, and borrow from Edo's high-ranking officials. We must not let the Japanese think that we are rich people from the Ming Dynasty. Now in other people's territory, if you are treated as a fat sheep, it will be dangerous. ”
"I'm so glad that the child can think like this. Before, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to think about it. Now it seems that it is really good. That's great! Zheng Zhilong did not comment on Zheng Sen's plan first, but looked at Zheng Sen's worried look and was overjoyed.
Zheng Sen smiled bitterly: "Now that it's happened, can't I still run back......
Even if you go back, you can't go back to the past.
Even if they go back, all of them will be treated as outliers and more likely to be liquidated.
There is no turning back, so naturally I can only go forward.
"Don't think about the past." Zheng Zhilong said with relief and appreciation: "The child can think like this, and I can think of these ways for my father, I am happy and recognized." It's a good idea, and it could go even further. The shares of the Zheng firm were diluted and given to the original shares, and as long as the shogun received them, he was directly given 49% of the shares. Of course, he certainly won't take it. I'm going to find out who will inherit the shogunship, or I can sell and give away a few high-ranking generals. As for worrying about local bullying, you don't have to worry about that. To the Japanese artillery, it was the most sophisticated and the best. There aren't many new-style firecrackers like the official army, but I bought 3,000 of them, so I asked you to train 3,000 elite men. ”
It seemed that he was still worried about Zheng Sen's worries, and Zheng Zhilong said again: "Besides, I am sure that I will be able to immigrate to Japan smoothly this time, and it is also a key point in the Satsuma Domain: Ryukyu." They're going to use me to resist the strong sailors of the code in the Ryukyus. Otherwise, this thousand houses and thousands of acres of land will not be available. ”
As he spoke, Zheng Zhilong explained the causes and consequences of the Ryukyu Kingdom of the Satsuma Domain.
Hearing this, Zheng Sen breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, Zheng Zhilong is not stupid. If you don't have complete preparation, you won't find the best time, and you won't make a rash move and leave your life's worth here.
It's just that Zheng Zhilong obviously wouldn't think of it......
Plan, faster than change.
And in the same way, he obviously wouldn't have thought that it was Zheng Sen who opened his mouth to persuade him to make a secret move. Otherwise...... Zheng is really finished.
"Sure enough, sure enough...... This was the era of the shogunate, and this was the country of Japan with shoguns. Warring States, it's over. Now, it's the world of the Tokugawa family! This Japan is the Japan of the Tokugawa family! Shimazu Mitsuhisa put away his good mood, listened to the bad news from Edo, and gritted his teeth.
"Satsuma Domain...... was sold. Yamada seemed to be worried that everyone would not know the cause and effect, and motioned for Kayama Kumori to tell the news from Edo.
"The shogun decided to return the Ryukyu Kingdom to the Ming Dynasty and withdraw the Japanese who were on it. Including Amami Oshima, a few places that have been governed......" Kayama Hisamori said, and said abruptly: "In exchange for the promise of the Ming envoys: to reopen Sino-Japanese trade." ”
"Sino-Japanese trade!" Everyone's eyes lit up.
But soon, their eyes dimmed: "But...... I'm going to lose the Ryukyus, so ......"
With less than the Ryukyus tax of hundreds of thousands of koku, even fools understand how sad life will be for the Satsuma Domain. This was obviously painful for the Satsuma Domain, which was already at odds with the shogunate.
The resumption of trade between China and Japan was most beneficial to the silk reeling factories in Edo, workshops that were in urgent need of raw silk. For the Satsuma Clan, it was obviously a good thing. But compared to the lost Ryukyu, it was a great loss.
"It's not the old days...... Yamada Yuei sighed, "The general's order will definitely be carried out." Our opposition will only be a curse for the shogunate. ”
"It can't end like this! Losses must be recovered! Kayama Hisamoru's eyes burned, and the young retainer found a way to make up for the loss, only to hear him softly spit out two words: Zheng.
