Chapter 1200: Getting Carried Away
Zheng Chenggong and Yang Geng stayed in Batavia to negotiate with Cohen, and Cha Bolt left only one warship, and brought back all the rest.
As soon as the Ming naval fleet left Songjiang Mansion and headed for Nanyang, the news had already been transmitted back to Dongying.
Tagawa Nanazaemon and Zheng Cai, who got the news, were extremely excited, haha, great, these imperial fleets of the Ming army are a group of stupid X, they really want to go to Nanyang to find the Dutch to fight, how powerful are the Dutch? At least the Fujian sailors in their heyday were not opponents, and the Fujian sailors could only control the sea areas north and east of Luzon Island, and then to the south or west, they were all controlled by the Dutch.
"Cousin, this time, we don't have to be afraid, the two tigers will fight, there will be an injury, I hope they can fight and lose both, it is best to have heavy casualties and great injuries, in that case, we even have a chance to clean up the Dutch, and when the time comes, the entire South Seas may be ours!"
Nanazaemon Tagawa laughed.
Zheng Cai is also very happy, but he is much calmer than Tagawa Nanazaemon, after all, he is more than ten years older.
Zheng Cai said in a deep voice: "Jiro, let's not be happy too early, now the Ming Empire is thriving, even if it is not the opponent of the Dutch, it will not take a few years to build a more powerful sea fleet, we have better now take advantage of the opportunity that they can't look east, and strengthen our strength as soon as possible, only strength is king!" ”
Tagawa Nanazaemon nodded and replied: "I naturally understand this, now our people have begun to take over the Hirado Domain, as long as there is the Hirado Domain in our hands, and the people we brought out from Fujian, it is enough for us to gain a foothold, and in a few years, maybe, we will even overthrow the Tokugawa Iemitsu shogunate and take the entire Toei under our command, hehe, does he Tokugawa Iemitsu think that the money of our official party is so easy to take?" It's hot! ”
Now that Tokugawa Iemitsu has officially canonized Tagawa Nanazaemon as the daimyo of the Hirado Domain, it can be said that the southeast coastal areas such as Edo and Hirado are the economic center of the entire Toei, and most of the Toei people live on Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island, and the Zheng family occupies the rich land of the Hirado Domain, and it is indeed a surge in strength, so it is no wonder that the ambitions of Tagawa Shichizaemon have swelled.
"Cousin, don't we still have an army in the Ryukyus? Recruit all of them, take them into Toei, infiltrate all of them into the Nagasaki Domain, find the right opportunity, and take the Nagasaki Domain as well......"
Zheng Cai nodded and replied: "Okay, these people are all the forces that the old marquis hid overseas at the beginning, and they are unwilling to accept the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but now that the marquis has passed away, it is not so easy to subdue these unruly people, and I have to go there myself......"
The so-called cunning rabbit three holes, Zheng Zhilong is a generation of heroes, left a lot of back hands for himself, overseas, from the East to the South Sea, there are countless islands, although Zheng Zhilong is sitting in Fujian, is the power of the world's Jingnan Hou, dominating the ocean, but after all, he is not the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he has to reserve a retreat for himself and his family, Dongying, Nanyang, and the Ryukyu Islands, there are the power of the Zheng family, but most of the forces are concentrated in Fujian and Dongying by Zheng Zhilong, on the overseas islands, There are at least a dozen nests buried by Zheng Zhilong.
On these islands, there are almost five or six hundred strong people, one or two hundred weak people, and more than a dozen nests, together there are only three or four thousand people, all of whom are pirates and bandits who are entrenched in the ocean, licking blood with knives.
It's just that although Zheng Chenggong is the eldest son of the Zheng family, he went north when he was a teenager and traveled around to study, at least Zheng Zhilong rebelled and left Fujian for more than six years, many secrets of the Zheng family are not as good as Tagawa Nanazaemon and Zheng Cai know more, as for Zheng Hongkui, the same is true, Zheng Hongkui is far away in Zhenhai as a general soldier, although he is the backbone of the Zheng family, after all, it is a different line, not as close as Zheng Zhibao and others.
Most of these forces are not clear to the backbone of the Zheng family, and Tian Chuan has only heard of these people, but he doesn't know much about these forces, and if he wants to subdue these people, it depends on Zheng Cai, Zheng Cai can be said to be the most descendant of Zheng Zhilong's subordinates except Zheng Zhibao, and often goes to sea to contact these people on behalf of Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu die, and only he has the ability to gather these people.
Tagawa Nanazaemon's heart trembled slightly, and he said: "Cousin, now that the younger brother is young, the future and fate of the Zheng family are all on your shoulders." ”
Although Tian Chuan is a bit of a bastard, he also knows that these days, without Zheng Cai's full support, where can he have such a comfortable life?
Zheng Cai smiled sadly and replied: "Jiro, where are you talking about, there is no old marquis, where is the scenery of our Zheng family for twenty years?" Now that the old marquis has been killed, Zheng Sen betrayed his father for glory, Zheng Hongkui betrayed his master to protect himself, I Zheng Cai has no other skills, but this heart of loyalty to the Zheng family will never change, but as long as I Zheng Cai is here, I will definitely protect Jiro's safety! ”
Tian Chuan took a deep breath and said with a reluctant smile: "Okay, cousin, don't care about anything else, anyway, now the naval fleet of the Ming Dynasty has gone to the South Seas, there is no doubt that with Zhu Jie's temper of two hundred and five, it is definitely an expedition to Batavia, the fleet of the Dutch is extremely powerful, and it occupies the geographical advantage, I am afraid that they will have no return, this mountain that is pressing on our heads can finally be removed, if you want to build such a powerful fleet, it is impossible to build such a powerful fleet without three or five years, after three or five years, We have long been deeply entrenched in Dongying, even if the navy of the Ming Dynasty comes, there is no need to be afraid! It's been a long time since I've had this pleasure, let's go, cousin, let's have fun tonight! Let's go, let's go find a few girls and have fun, and when you're done having fun, it's not too late to head to the Ryukyu Islands! ”
"Haha, let's go, Jiro, I have to give me the two little ladies of Aota and Aoi Yu today......"
Tian Chuan and Zheng Cai went hand in hand, but they didn't know that they couldn't be happy for a few days, because, in their opinion, the Ming Empire's naval fleet, which was bound to be defeated and lost, and its vitality was greatly damaged, and when it couldn't even return to a piece of deck, the Ming fleet had quietly started from the South Seas and was heading towards the coast of the Ming Empire at full speed.
When I went, I was majestic and high-spirited, but when I came back, I was silent, hiding Zheng Cai and Tagawa Nanazaemon to death!
