When sending Du Yunhe away, Yongsheng Wang Zheng Cai hated it in his heart!

He's already kicked out some rotten people, and there are some writers in the Fujian Times newspaper office.

I'm angry, it's really like what the Hantang Group said, there are a lot of people who don't speak logically!

Since he clearly understood the meaning of logic from the people of the Hantang Group, Yongsheng Wang Zheng Cai simply put the word logic on his lips.

The Longyan Coal Mine collapsed, killing more than 100 miners!

But this is normal, such things often happen in the mines of the Hantang Group, there is always a report in the "Hantang Times", and then they accuse this and that, and they are also busy for a while, and there are always follow-up reports.

Mining dead people and dead people going to sea are the norm, it's nothing, and there are still dead people when they go into the mountains to hunt.

However, in response to this mining disaster, a writer in the Fujian Times newspaper wrote an article in the newspaper entitled "How difficult it is to consolidate the country", and the content almost made Zheng Cai, the king of Yongsheng, angry to death.

Doesn't this make sense?!

Yongsheng Wang Zheng Cai knew that this sentence was a sentence from Liu Kun's "Persuasion Table" in Jin 61, "It may be difficult to consolidate the country, or it is difficult to enlighten the Shengming."

But people can use it or can, but it becomes inevitable for you! If you don't have it or can, how can you directly do it, how difficult it is to strengthen the country?!

Besides, if you don't learn the way they write "Hantang Times", it seems that you are looking forward to a few more mining disasters, and the land of Longyan and Anxi will surpass the level of the Hantang Group?!

What kind of logic is this!

Of course, I didn't really kick them, they were all arranged to teach at the Confucius Institute!

After the Confucius Institute was opened, Zheng Cai, the king of Yongsheng, was very happy, especially when he heard that the Confucius Institute in the city of Geranza was often crowded with people from all walks of life!

This is definitely a good thing!

Spread my Confucian culture, Southern Confucius; Carry forward the spirit of my Ming Dynasty, Han nationality!

This is a good thing that works for a thousand years and has an effect today-

When the Hongmaofan came, please go to Batavia to build a Confucius Institute, because the Chinese language training center of the Hantang Group does not go there, they actually think that it is a barbarian area, and the security may not be guaranteed!

Because intellectuals are not businessmen –

Okay, I'll go to Zhengjia Group!

It's okay to give a place and build a house, but we can't let the red fur laugh, it's not worth taking that little advantage, the books are free, and this teaching is free!

They want teachers who can speak Chinese?

In fact, in the past few years, it has basically been-

The Japanese merchants also came, and asked themselves to go to Edo to build a Confucius Institute, because the Han Tang Group's Chinese language training center did not go there, and they thought that it was a barbarian area, and there was no guarantee of public security!

Okay, I'll go to Zhengjia Group!

The situation of the Japanese merchants, Yongsheng Wang Zheng Cai understands too well, if there were no people from the Han and Tang groups, I would have to buy weapons from them before!

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the so-called "sea ban" policy was relaxed, and Japan's Tokugawa Ieyasu urgently demanded the resumption of Sino-Japanese trade.

At that time, Zheng Zhilong, the eldest brother of the Zheng family, took Japan as the main object of maritime trade and opened up a sea trade channel from Quanzhou to Nagasaki, Japan.

Zheng Zhilong took Zheng Cai and others to Japan by flat-bottomed boat to transport some bulk commodities from the Ming Continent, mainly raw silk and silk fabrics.

Moreover, he secretly cooperated with Portuguese merchants to ship Macao goods to Japan, and then sold Japanese goods to Luzon and sold them to the Spaniards.

In short, from 1641 to 1646, Zheng Zhilong's merchant ships traveled between Fujian, Taiwan, Macao, Japan and Southeast Asian countries, and the number of cargo ships entering and leaving Japanese ports was 7 ~ 11 times more than that of Dutch ships.

In fact, this is also due to Zheng Zhilong's pluralism of religious beliefs and complete pragmatism.

When doing business with the Dutch, he could become Protestant.

When doing business with the Portuguese, he could be baptized by Roman Catholicism, and believed in both the Taoist god of the sea Mazu and the Buddhist Bodhisattva Morichiten.

When doing business with Japanese Japanese merchants, you can also visit the Shinto god Hachiman.

As long as it is conducive to the development of the business, as long as it is profitable, you can let him believe in whatever religion you want.

When his strength really developed, in Japan, the Zheng family's power was so great that he could directly contact the Japanese daimyos.

Moreover, in the trade with the United Dutch East India Company, the Zheng Zhilong Maritime Group established trade relations with Dutch merchants, and could transport large quantities of sugar from the Ming Dynasty to Persia and European countries.

In this way, Zheng Cai saw that the Zheng family represented by Zheng Zhilong had obtained huge economic benefits with a huge fleet, abundant funds, and multi-channel trade.

At that time, he was in full control of the sea control of the Taiwan Strait in the maritime trade and collected taxes on foreign cargo ships.

The atmosphere of the sea is quite breathing, selling foreign goods, domestic and foreign merchants, all using the Zheng banner, no example, businessmen have 20 times the profit.

If the sea ship is not allowed to Zheng Lingqi, can not come and go, each ship into 3,000 gold, the annual income of 10 million, Zhilong to enrich the enemy country, the sea and the ocean like the mainland.

Yongsheng Wang Zheng Cai also knew that the big wood who is now in the Chaozhou City area also has a younger brother, Tagawa Nanazaemon, who is still in Japan.

At the beginning, Zheng Zhilong passed this second son to his wife Tagawa's maiden family, so he was named Tagawa.

In 1645, Zheng Zhilong sent someone to bring the Tagawa clan to Anpei, and his second son, Nanzaemon, was left in Japan.

When Nanazaemon grew up, he served as the representative of the Zheng family in Japan and engaged in Sino-Japanese trade.

When the Zheng family's power was in full swing, Zheng Zhilong was the host of the Japanese branch of the trade line, and even now, Tagawa Nanazaemon still continued to send manpower and materials to supply his brother, and maintained the lifeline of organizing maritime trade.

These situations are very clear to Yongsheng Wang Zheng Cai.

Just like in the Southern Song Dynasty in the Ming Continent, when they were hit by a foreign invasion, they would ask Japan for help, but the result was the same, when they were most needed, they never got help from this country and region that originally admired them.

This is because Japanese countries and regions have always been pragmatists.

As early as the third year of Japan's Zhengbao, that is, in 1646, Zheng Zhilong sent Huang Zhengming, an envoy from Fuzhou, to Japan, and finally arrived in Nagasaki.

The envoy brought a total of eight letters from Zheng Zhilong, including two to Emperor Shokyo of Japan, three to the shogun, and three to the king of Nagasaki, that is, the Nagasaki commissioner.

One of the letters to Emperor Masakyo reads like this:

“…… Attached to the pardon decree of Emperor Longwu (King of Tang), the matter of Peng Pu of Zhou and Uighur of Tang was introduced, with the intention of borrowing strong soldiers. Qianyun borrowed 5,000 soldiers, and now he wants more to defeat the enemy. ”

They also brought many gifts and asked the other side to send strong reinforcements.

At that time, after receiving these letters, the shogunate discussed them repeatedly for several days, mainly the old and middle schools.

As a result, the three royal families were all in favor of sending troops, and one of the presiding officers at that time, Yunwei Zhang Darenyun: "Among the three, I am the longest, and I should be sent as the main general." ”

At the same time, he himself asked to come into battle.

At that time, he was the only one who objected, and he retorted that the opinion of the Imperial Three Family had some truth and could be trusted, but ...... As for the call for help, I don't think it will do any good, and it won't be of any benefit.

As a result, everyone thought that Naotaka Ii was justified and canceled the dispatch of reinforcements.

In fact, Tokugawa Yoshinobu also said at that time: "If the state sends reinforcements, it will not only be a shame for the state, but also a long-term enmity with foreign countries, which will become an eternal disaster; If our soldiers have meritorious service, they will also be wasted if they have their land, and they will not benefit the country, and they will attract the disadvantages of the future generations, and we must not ask for ...... from them."

From this point of view, it is not Naotaka Ii who is opposed, but one of the three families, Tokugawa Yorinobu of Kii, that is, everyone is just talking.

On the whole, however, they verbally have quite a lot of strong opinions, and those who are in favor seem to be predominant.

But in the end, it was probably prudent to win, and decided to wait and see for the time being.

The reason for saying this is that although people have decided to refuse for the time being, they have never completely given up their intention to send troops.

Then he prepared to send Hino Neoribe, the lord of the castle in the Bungo Prefecture, and others to Nagasaki as envoys, and directly conveyed the shogunate's opinion to Zheng Zhilong's envoy.

However, at this time, the news came that Fuzhou, the stronghold of Tang Wang and Zheng Zhilong, had fallen, especially Zheng Zhilong's initiative to surrender, so everything was canceled.

Later, Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Tatars, but his son Zheng Damu still fought alone, supported the Ming Dynasty, and sent an envoy to Japan, asking for reinforcements and materials, wanting to use his father's residual power to beg for teachers and beggars.

As early as 1648, Zheng Damu said in a letter: "...... For the rest of his life, he lived in Japan, and his longing for Japan was especially deep. In this difficult time, I would like to ask Japan to treat Yu with the affection of uncles, nephews and brothers, and to extend favors. ”

At that time, the true feelings of this blood connection were very touching, but was it useful?

The shogunate at that time also discussed it, but did not reply to the letter, and the shogunate judged that it was impossible for the Zheng family to turn over, and planned to abandon them.

But then things changed!

The other side branch of the Zheng clan suddenly broke out, and when the shogunate was still thinking about what would happen after the suddenly emerged Han and Tang groups completely defeated the Hongmaobo, Yongshengbo Zheng Cai occupied the entire territory of Fujian!

And I heard that he has firearms more ferocious than iron cannons!

In 1543, the Portuguese brought iron cannons, or gun, to Tanegashima in Japan, and then Tanegashima Tokiyao, the lord of Tanegashima, purchased these cannons, and let his retainers learn how to make them, and gradually spread them to the daimyo of Japan.

However, when I heard that there were more powerful firearms than this iron cannon on this side branch of the Zheng family, some of the daimyo cared about it, some of them didn't, but the shogunate changed its approach.

On the one hand, they resumed contact with Zheng Damu

Zheng Damu began to dance on the three eggs.

On the one hand, he begged his uncle for arms.

On the other hand, in order to make up for the shortage of materials, he continued to ask Japan for some materials according to the advice of his staff officer Feng Chengshi, so as to supplement the shortage.

Most importantly, he still maintained a trading relationship with the Hantang Group, taking advantage of the price difference and selling to Luzon, Cochin, Thailand, etc., for a profit.

In the face of the clan uncle, Zheng Damu directly begged for it; In the face of Japan, Zheng Damu can give it to me, even if I succeed, if I don't give it, I don't care; It's just a fair deal with Hantang Group.

At first, I didn't understand what was called a high-grade potassium feldspar mineral product or a phosphate rock product, but the number of transactions increased, and I understood it from the color and weight.

But the harvest in Japan was bigger, and they didn't expect to be on lead and copper, so they changed their old appearance and took the initiative to give themselves, and it was not difficult for their younger brother to provide other materials for themselves.

Good luck is coming.

Zheng Cai, the king of Yongsheng, was also aware of these situations, but he was just glad that several daimyo had asked the Confucius Institute to open in their territory.

And he doesn't plan to learn what Mandarin to teach others like the Hantang Group, and he can even charge per head and class hours, my gods, they let the horse ticket fascinate the eyes - after all, it's a young man, what is the vision -

However, he is often devastated by the sight of manager Meregg with a kind of sadness, helplessness, and even hatred.

My old Zheng is not so bad, young man, but I am a big family, how many people rely on this Zheng family group to live, and when I am completely at ease, my old Zheng will go up the mountain to be a layman!

Young man, don't think that I covet this wealth, for so many years—age is not in vain, and you don't understand it.

Very good, every time I think of this, Yongsheng Wang Zheng Cai's heart hardens, hinting to himself, he is really helpless, don't blame me, young manager Mei Lezhi - if you come to help me, how good it will be.
