Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

"Dad said he wanted to change our surname back to Zhongyuan."

"From now on, I will be Weng Duohe."

"Dad also said that if my brother-in-law agreed, he wanted to take us back to Fujian."

Having said this, she turned around and smiled sweetly.

"Dad also said that he wanted my sister to give birth to another son and then adopt him to the Weng family."

"Brother-in-law, you have to work harder."

Zheng Zhilong was suddenly stunned.

The Weng family has no sons, only two daughters.

Before, it was Tianchuan Song, oh no, if my father-in-law’s decision is true, then in the future Tianchuan Song will have to change back to Weng Song.

Weng Song had talked to him about adoption before, intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't take it seriously at that time.

Now it seems that my father-in-law had already had this plan.

But then again, adopting a son is not out of the question.

After all, it's just a little thing, why bother?

"Okay, don't think too much. This is between me and your sister. Go back early. It's cold outside. Don't freeze."

Upon hearing this, Duohe rolled her eyes at him with a hint of annoyance.

"Brother-in-law, do you know it's cold?!"

"It's so cold, and you're so far away from me."

"Come closer to me."

"Cough cough!"

Zheng Zhilong wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a dry cough.

Looking back, it was Zheng Zhibao who had been driven out by him before!

This guy was squatting in the corner, holding an empty bowl in his hand, blinking at him and Duohe...

"Why are you everywhere!"

Zheng Zhilong grabbed a ball of snow from the guardrail and threw it over. Seeing this, Zheng Zhibao immediately left with a strange smile.

In the hall, the daimyos were drunk as pigs, completely forgetting that there were corpses everywhere here before.

In the evening, Li Guozhu came over, took a look, then shook his head and left.

"Keep an eye on them, give them food and drink, and no one is allowed to leave until Master gives the nod!"

"Yes!"

The soldier guarding the gate bowed and saluted.

at night.

Finally someone woke up.

The head of the Kuroda family rubbed his temples and looked at the furnishings around him. The remaining drunkenness instantly dissipated completely, and he hurried to call other people.

"Souga..."

"Wake up! Wake up!"

"Nani? Why am I here?"

"Zheng-san, don't stop, keep drinking. On behalf of the Aoi family, I'll toast you another glass..."

"......"

Everyone had different reactions after waking up, but after just a moment, they recalled what had happened before.

Then, they all fell into silence with gnashing teeth.

At this moment, although the shogunate had sidelined the emperor and became the actual ruler of Japan.

But these daimyo are local tyrants in their own territories!

After submitting to the Ming Dynasty, such power will definitely be affected, so how could they truly submit!

After a while, looking at the flickering candlelight on the lampstand, Kato Yasushige lowered his voice and spoke to others.

"Haha, it's just women, the Tianchuan family has them, and we have them too!"

"The Tianchuan family can use women to tie Zheng Zhilong down, and we can do the same thing!"

"Zheng Zhilong is just a small Nanhai Earl. There are many people in the Ming Dynasty who are more powerful than him."

"I heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is only in his early twenties and still has no son."

"if........."

Having said this, he paused and winked meaningfully at the others.

"Souga!"

"That's a good idea, Kato-san."

"If we can send this person to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he has a son in the future and inherits the throne, then..."

"Yoshi, I agree with this proposal!"

"When Mr. Zheng comes again tomorrow, we will agree to whatever he says first, and then ask him to allow us to send someone to the Ming Dynasty to present gifts to the emperor. I think he will not refuse."

"........."

Several people gathered together, whispering like thieves, but they had no idea that at this moment, there were four pairs of eyes staring at them on the beams!

The next morning.

Zheng Zhilong had just finished his meal when he received a secret report from his subordinates.

Looking at the contents recorded above, he shook his head speechlessly.

These bastards really dare to think so!

He threw the secret report into the brazier and was about to go out, but after taking two steps, he heard Li Guozhu's voice coming from outside.

"Uncle, the Dutch Governor-General Cohen is here to see you."

Hearing the title of Dutch Governor, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but frown.

When they were following Li Dan, they had many dealings with the Dutch.

The Dutch Governor at that time was still Song Ke, and the Fort Zeelandia on Taiwan Island was built by Song Ke.

His fleet frequently traveled between East Asian countries, transporting a steady stream of wealth back to the Netherlands.

But three years ago, when Song Ke was returning to the Netherlands, he fell into the sea and drowned due to an accident on the way. Later, a governor named Peter was replaced.

I haven't even met Peter yet, and already he's replaced by Cohen?

But why did Cohen appear in Japan?

Chapter 562: Unjust Wealth and Honor Are Like Clouds to Me

Then, three bearded men who were as dirty as pigs were brought in by Li Guozhu.

One of the guys with a blindfold crossed his arms and bowed slightly to Zheng Zhilong.

"Cohen, the Governor of the Dutch East India Company in Batavia, sends his greetings to His Excellency!"

"Dear Zheng, I never thought I would see you here!"

Zheng Zhilong raised his eyebrows and glanced at him: "Do you recognize me?"

Cohen smiled and explained: "Of course, in my office, there is a portrait of you, which was left by Song Ke during his lifetime."

Zheng Zhilong had no good feelings towards this guy and the Dutch East India Company behind him.

In his opinion, they were just a group of vampires who were racking their brains all day long to think of ways to suck blood all over the world!

"What are you doing here?"

Facing Zheng Zhilong's cold attitude, Cohen seemed to have been mentally prepared.

"Don't get me wrong, we're just here to do business."

"I heard that many famous people were invited here, so I wanted to come and see if we can cooperate."

Zheng Zhilong sneered: "Sorry, I disappoint you."

"If the Netherlands wants to do trade here in the future, they must first ask the Ming Dynasty for its opinion."

He didn't even stutter during the communication between the two of them, and spoke the difficult Dutch language very fluently.

But then he changed the subject.

"Oh, by the way, let me give you a piece of advice."

"Please speak Ming Mandarin to me from now on. Otherwise, you will lose the qualification to trade with Ming!"

Hearing this, Cohen was completely dumbfounded!

The Dutch East India Company's base in Taiwan was forcefully expelled by the Ming Dynasty, causing them to lose their closest foothold to the Ming Dynasty.

The previous governor, Bode, was dismissed from his post by the headquarters because of this, so he was replaced to take charge of the situation.

As soon as he arrived in Batavia, he encountered an attack by the Matalan fleet. The war lasted for two months and ended with the victory of the Dutch army.

After finishing his work there, he rushed to Japan without stopping, trying to lease a piece of land here and build a second Fort Zeelandia.

He first went to Edo and confronted the Tokugawa shogunate, but the result left him extremely disappointed.

As early as 1616, the shogunate issued an order allowing only European merchant ships to dock and trade at the ports of Hirado and Nagasaki. After 1624, it directly refused to trade with Spain.

Under such circumstances, how could the Tokugawa family agree to lease land to them?

So, after going around in circles, he could only return to Nagasaki to look for opportunities.

Let's see if we can use benefits to impress the local lords, first secretly get a piece of land and build a city.

He was confident that once the fortress was built, with Japan's current military strength, it would be a pipe dream to expel them.

However, as soon as he arrived in Nagasaki, he heard that all the daimyos on Kyushu Island had received invitations from the Matsuura family, so he came here with the attitude of giving it a try.

After all, with so many daimyos gathered together, he really couldn't think of any other reason except to rebel against the shogunate.

As long as he, on behalf of the East India Company, gave these daimyo a certain amount of financial support in this matter, a small matter like leasing a piece of land would surely become a natural thing.

But he never expected it!

After I really got here, I didn’t see a single name!

Instead, he saw countless Ming warships floating on the sea!

After asking around, I found out that Zheng Zhilong was also here.

He really didn't want to see Zheng Zhilong!

Because the previous governor lost his position because of Zheng Zhilong...

Now after hearing what Zheng Zhilong said, and thinking about the Ming fleet floating on the sea, how could he not understand?

The war has broken out between the Ming Dynasty and Japan!

Moreover, it is a battle in which victory is assured!

When Cohen thought about losing the chance to gain a foothold in East Asia from now on, he felt so frustrated that he wanted to vomit blood...

After thinking it over, he gritted his teeth and said.

"Zheng, dear Zheng, I can help you!"

"You know how powerful the Dutch navy is..."

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zheng Zhilong: "I just said that you should speak to me in Ming official language!"

Cohen was almost killed by his words!

He couldn't speak the official language of the Ming Dynasty at all, so he could only look for help to his companions who were brought in with him.

But when his companion repeated what he said, he was interrupted by Zheng Zhilong again at the same place.
