Chapter 515: Zheng Cai's News
***
The city wall of Fuzhou is like a "convex" character, the north is narrow and the south is wide, the north is Ping Mountain, the left and right ends of the south are Wushan and Yushan respectively, and the three mountains are just the momentum.
The circumference of the city wall is twenty miles, there are more than 80 squares in the city, and the original palace of Emperor Longwu is located slightly east of the center point of the whole day. After Huang Daozhou led the Bian Dan army to break into the palace, a series of drastic changes followed, and the Longwu Dynasty of the past has disappeared.
Longwu fell from a horse while fleeing and suffered a serious head injury, his life and death has always been a mystery, Fu Gong has been guarded by Zheng Zhilong's heavy troops, although Zheng Zhilong claimed that Emperor Longwu was still alive, in order to stabilize the officials in various parts of Fujian.
But since the fall of the horse, Longwu has never appeared in public, in the various rumors circulating in Fuzhou City, Longwu has been recognized by the most people.
Zheng Zhilong also let go, he didn't explain, and he couldn't explain it anyway.
After conquering Taiwan, he was busy moving people to Taiwan. The first to move is naturally the family members of more than 100,000 Zheng Jiajun.
Fujian has many mountains and few lands, and many people can only rely on the sea to eat the sea, leave their hometowns, and cross the sea to make a living.
But this is only relatively speaking, Fujian people, who also accept the influence of Confucian culture, are also nostalgic for their hometown and homesickness.
Therefore, Zheng Zhilong's immigration to Taiwan did not go smoothly. Many of Zheng's soldiers and family members were reluctant to leave Fujian, and the most reluctant were the middle and lower-class generals.
Over the years, Zheng Jiajun has monopolized the trade lanes of Southeast Asia, and the generals in the army have made a fortune to a greater or lesser extent.
As the so-called wealth does not return to the hometown, such as the night walk of clothes. After making a fortune, everyone built a big house in their hometown, bought a property, and lived a prosperous and stable life for their families.
Now I suddenly want to move to that deserted island in Taiwan and Hong Kong, and I don't want anything. Naturally, everyone was reluctant. After working hard for half a life, who wants to give up when the industry is finally purchased, when the knife holder is not necked?
There were many people who resisted, and even many people came to the door of Zheng's house every day to cry. This matter gave Zheng Zhilong a headache, but he couldn't think of any way, he even wanted to let the Qin army enter Fujian and force his men.
But this is just to think about it, in this case, once the Qin army enters Fujian, it is estimated that many people will want to keep their wealth and wealth. Take the initiative to surrender to the Qin army.
What gave him even more headaches was his eldest son Zheng Sen, as well as a group of young generals such as Shi Lang and Tong Haifeng who united around Zheng Sen, these are the elites of the new generation in the Zheng family's army, but they are also against him.
Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong, who was already irritable, couldn't help but be angry. He threw the hibiscus white jade cup in his hand violently, and slammed it on the four seasons ruyi screen carved by agarwood on the opposite side, and the hibiscus white jade cup that ordinary people couldn't afford to buy for a lifetime suddenly shattered into several pieces.
"Come on, bring me that rebel." Zheng Zhilong shouted at the soldiers outside the door, he was going to talk to his eldest son again. Now the situation in the Qin State is becoming more and more stable, which means that it is becoming more and more unfavorable to the Zheng family.
Hearing that even Guizhou and Yunnan have now been defeated by the Qin army, Zheng Zhilong expected that Qin Mu, who had come slowly. The next one to deal with must be him.
As soon as he finished shouting, Xian Laosan, known as the black whirlwind, rushed in in a panic and said, "Guogong, it's not good." Emperor Longwu is dead"
"Dead? When did you die? Zheng Zhilong asked in shock.
Emperor Longwu was seriously injured in the head, and he has been trying his best to heal him, although Emperor Longwu is just a puppet. But with this puppet, Fujian can barely hold on.
On the contrary, he will be charged with killing the king, and the people don't care whether Longwu is a puppet or not, they will recognize this emperor, and after the charge of killing the king, his reputation will be even more stinky.
"Returning to China, he just died."
"You go, block the news, and you must not let the news of Longwu's death spread quickly."
"Yes, Guogong."
Zheng Zhilong's mood became more and more irritable, and he paced alone in the hall with his hands behind his back, his steps were fast and chaotic, making him look like an ant on a hot pot.
He was about to go to see Longwu in person, and when he saw Zheng Cai coming in quickly, he said with a happy face: "Big brother, good news, there is good news." ”
"What good news can there be?" Zheng Zhilong said angrily.
"Big brother, there is news from Ningbo, Qin Mu has arrived in Ningbo, he went to Shuangyu Port, and went to Tianyi Pavilion of the Fan family in Ningbo"
"Tianyi Pavilion? What's the good news? ”
"Big brother, you listen to me first."
"It is said that Qin Mu went to Tianyi Pavilion because he wanted to learn from the Yongle Emperor of the year, and he wanted to repair the book on a large scale, haven't you heard of it, the prosperous era of repairing the book, Qin Mu wants to repair the book on a large scale to show that he is a prosperous era under his rule. This was not enough, I heard that he asked the prefect of Ningbo to organize dozens of cargo ships to prepare to accompany the mission to Japan, hoping to make Japan recognize Qin as the suzerain, so as to further increase his prestige. ”
"What, Qin Mu is going to send an envoy to Japan?"
"Big brother, this can't be wrong, I heard that Qin Mu is going to send his fleet to protect the mission. And I have another news, I heard that the king of Korea also quietly sent his son Li Jun to come, and rushed to Ningbo to ask to see Qin Mu, I suspect that Qin Mu is going to transport Korea and Japan and other countries"
"And what's the good news?" Zheng Zhilong was furious when he heard this, Qin Mu wanted to befriend Korea and Japan, especially if Japan recognized Qin as the suzerain, it would cause great damage to the interests of the Zheng family.
Now Japan implements the policy of closing the country to the outside world, other businessmen can not go, the Zheng family has a special relationship with the Japanese shogunate, almost monopolizing the trade with Japan, this alone, every year to the Zheng family to bring tens of millions of income, if Qin Mu sent an embassy and a merchant group to go, and Japan reached diplomatic relations, the two sides established a trade channel, the situation facing the Zheng family will become increasingly unfavorable.
Zheng Cai said: "Big brother, what are you anxious about, didn't I say it, in addition to the mission, Qin Mu also plans to organize a huge caravan to accompany him, and now he is organizing the goods, and it will take some time to go." Big brother, think about it, if we send warships to the north and serve Qin Mu's caravan and mission in the vast sea, wouldn't we not only make a fortune, but also stop Qin Mu's conspiracy to collude with Japan. ”
"Shh Zheng Zhilong's brows finally relaxed. Qin Mu was repairing books and sending envoys to visit, wanting to improve his reputation through some measures. But he forgot that above this sea is the territory of the Zheng family, how can you come and go if you want?
Zheng Zhilong couldn't care about whether Emperor Longwu would die or not for the time being, so he immediately asked Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Jie, Zheng Tai and others to come together to discuss.
After Zheng Hongkui listened to Zheng Cai's retelling, he immediately said: "Big brother, you must beware of fraud in this matter, I think Qin Mu suddenly came to Ningbo, it is very likely that he came to our Zheng family, besides, now that Japan has adopted a policy of closing the country to the outside world, Qin Mu should know the Tao, and if he wants to send an envoy first, how can he bring such a huge business group at the same time?" ”
Zheng Cai finally got the good news, Zheng Hongkui denied it as soon as he came up, and he said a little unhappily: "What's strange about this, I think, it is precisely because Qin Muzhi said that Japan is now closed to the rest of the country, so he organized such a huge business group to follow, give Japan some benefits, and knock on Japan's door with Japan's scarce goods." ”
Zheng Tai, who has been in charge of the Zheng family's money bag, immediately chimed in: "I agree, it is indeed easier to knock on Japan's door with some scarce goods." Besides, didn't the Korean prince Ri Jun also come? I think Qin Mu is playing a big game of chess, and winning over North Korea may be to deal with the Jurchens, win over Japan, and may be aimed at our Zheng family. It is also possible that he knows that his sailor is not good, so he wants to pull North Korea and Japan together to deal with our Zheng family. ”
Zheng Cai added: "Even if Qin Mu is cheating, at sea, what can he do to my Zheng family?" As for Zheng Sanmazi's sailor who has just been pulled up for two months, do we need to be afraid that he will play some conspiracy? According to me, it just so happens that we will go north and destroy his East China Sea Fleet, so as not to threaten my Zheng family in the future. ”
