Chapter 227: Everyone is Smart (Ask for Subscription)

"Father, father......" Thirteen-year-old Nabeshima Mitsushige cried out of his fear.

"Your Excellency, Zheng Jun is already about to be killed." The chamberlain cried anxiously.

"Get up, Mitsumao. You are a man, how can you kneel on the ground and cry like a woman? Nabeshima Katsushige was still calm.

"Father's ......"

"Don't worry, I won't end my life at this time. This is weakness, this is evasion. Nabeshima Katsushige, who knew exactly how much trouble he had caused, clenched his fists tightly. Now, let's go ......"

Even if it is a big trouble, you have to face it head-on, this is a real samurai.

Nabeshima Katsushige's words made his son smile bloom on his face. Even the attendants next to him were relieved, but one of the generals in the room still interjected and asked:

"Your Excellency, the fire ...... here"

A fire burned down the castle tower and burned the entire castle, a common move taken by some defeated daimyo before they perished. Judging from the appearance and layout of Nagasaki Castle, this fire could even burn down the castle town, causing huge trouble to Zheng Jun.

"Don't burn it. I have made a big mistake, how can I make a mistake again and again? ”

It's like after the failed raid, he once wanted to use Tagawa's mother and son as a meat shield.

Burning the castle town of Nagasaki, the biggest loss is still Japan, and the huge public resentment will be concentrated on the Nabeshima family, and it will also anger Zheng Jun heavily.

Think about how much damage an enraged enemy would do to Japan? Nabeshima Katsushige's mind is not confused. "I hope the wealth here can extinguish the anger in Zheng Zhilong's heart."

But how is this possible?

The wealth of Mannagasaki is so amazing that you can consider it as one of the thirteen elements of the late Qing Dynasty. Now Zheng Zhilong advocates the overall situation, he can indeed loot the entire Nagasaki with a single order. It's like the British guy at the beginning, but it looks a little ugly......

You know, many Japanese merchants and the Zheng family in Nagasaki are trading partners. For so many years, the Zheng family has been the number one giant in Sino-Japanese trade, and now it is too difficult to turn around and loot the whole of Nagasaki.

Besides, Zheng Zhilong can only rob the Japanese in Nagasaki, and he will definitely not rob the Chinese merchants, which will also cause sharp contradictions between the two factions in the future, right? It can also affect your relationship with Japan.

The impact is huge.

In Zheng Zhilong's plan, the future little devil will be a hardcore thug under him, the Tokugawa family will honestly get out, and the future ruler of Japan will be Tagawa Nanazaemon.

"Matsuura-kun, please rest assured, I, Zheng Zhilong, am a person with a bottom line. Today's hatred is only Nabeshima Katsushige, it is the Tokugawa clan in Edo, how can he spill his anger on many innocent people? ”

Zheng Zhilong's face was awe-inspiring, and in front of Matsuura Zhenxin, he ordered Nagasaki Castle to plunder only the merchant shops of the Nabeshima family and the shops of the Tokugawa family's royal merchants. For the others, there is no offense.

But that's just it, Zheng Zhilong will also make a lot of money.

Because the Nabeshima family is not counted, the royal merchant of the Tokugawa family can be a famous Edo wealthy merchant. The identity of these people is not very long, but they can already stand shoulder to shoulder with the merchants of Kyoto and Osaka. After all, these people handled the tribute rents of the shogunate and the various feudal domains, and the bidding and trading of monopoly goods, acting as financial brokers, and quickly amassed a huge amount of wealth.

It had a very similar status to the Imperial Merchants of the Manchu Dynasty.

Nagasaki is just one of the concerns of Edo's wealthy merchants, and Nagasaki is not the most prosperous and rich place in Japan.

Whether it's Osaka or Edo, the level of affluence and consumption there is not comparable to that of Kitakyushu. Nagasaki is just a hub for goods.

The chaotic Nagasaki soon calmed down.

Zheng Zhilong first organized a patrol, asked Ono and them to lead the team, and asked everyone to return to their families and not stay on the streets.

For those green-skinned ronins who take advantage of the fire to rob, as long as they are caught, they will not be spared. Hundreds of bloody human heads quickly pacified the whole of Nagasaki.

The gunfire and shouts of killing in the castle town quickly dissipated.

One by one, the Japanese businessmen hid behind the cracks in the doors and windows, paying attention to the movement outside with their eyes all the time, and they were all afraid that Zheng Jun would go berserk. Because they are simply powerless to resist.

Although their subordinates will more or less raise some thugs, these thugs can scare the civilians, and against Zheng Jun, they are no stronger than a group of rabble.

All, now they are a group of pigs and sheep to be slaughtered, and it depends on whether the master wants to go under the knife immediately.

Zheng Zhilong, of course, understood the panic and uneasiness of the Japanese at this time, so he handed over the matter to Matsuura Zhenxin to deal with, and he took Zheng Sen to the residence of Tagawa's mother and son. There were also more than a dozen samurai from the Hirado clan guarding outside the latter's gate, and when they saw a large force of Zheng troops arriving, they happily handed over their errands.

Zheng Sen's eyes were already red, but Zheng Zhilong's expression remained calm - he also wanted his eyes to be red, but his strength didn't allow it.

As far as his performance ability as an idol actor is concerned, he really can't show off the skills that only an actor has.

Therefore, Zheng Zhilong can only show his deservible side.

There was a cry in the house, Tian Chuan's mother and son were crying, but Zheng Zhilong still had a straight face. I only commented on the Tagawa clan in my heart, this person is not young, after all, Zheng Sen is twenty-one, but he is not old, is he in his thirties.

The whole person can still say that the charm still exists, but it is also said that Zheng Zhilong is not surprised or happy. However, everything from grooming to dressing up is Han style, which gave him a surprise.

At this time, there was still a custom of blackening teeth in Japan. It is very common for women, especially married women, to have their teeth blackened.

It is said that the first thing the little devils used to blacken their teeth was the juice of the fruit of the herbs. In 753 A.D., Jianzhen crossed to the east, bringing not only Buddhist scriptures, medicines, architectural techniques, and sculpture to Japan, but also better blackening recipes. (This recipe is now stored in Todai-ji Shosoin in Japan)

At the end of the Heian period, when the children of the Japanese imperial family and nobles were eight or nine years old, they underwent the "iron paste payment", or tooth painting ceremony. In the Edo period, it became a symbol of married women.

But Zheng Zhilong's aesthetics are not the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago, how can he endure those dark and shiny teeth? Once spoken, the mouth of the black-toothed woman was like an open tomb. Zheng Zhilong didn't let the Tagawa clan dye his teeth black when he was in Japan, but it's been more than ten years, what the Tagawa clan will be like, and whether he has been 'assimilated' by Japan, he doesn't have a score in his heart.

Now look, it's good.

Zheng Zhilong couldn't have stayed in the room for too long, because Nagasaki still had a lot to do, and it would also seem that he loved his wife and children too much, and he didn't seem to be a husband and man, which was not in line with the Japanese concept of a big husband.

But Zheng Zhilong stayed in the house for more than an hour, and then got up and left. Ignoring the Tagawa clan's several gestures, he only pulled the mother and son to ask them about their life in Japan, whether they had been bullied, and asked about other relatives, such as the Tagawa clan and Weng Yihuang, as well as Tagawa Nanazaemon's education......

Time passed quickly, and more than an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Tagawa Nanazaemon doesn't care about anything else, the conscious Zheng Zhilong is too gentle, too careful and caring, and is a good father. Even Zheng Sen grinned, the longer Zheng Zhilong stopped, the more he cared about his mother and younger brother?

In other words, the Tagawa clan who has signaled several times, why is it not sweet in his heart?

But it was like a dog who couldn't cross the river in Songpu Town.

Zheng Zhilong entrusted him with the matter of pacifying Nagasaki, which did not put any pressure on Matsuura Zhenxin, on the contrary, it was a good way for him to expand his influence.

Matsuura Zhenxin knew Nagasaki well, and quickly recruited the leading figures of the Osaka and Kyoto business districts, and then several representatives of the Edo business district—after deducting the imperial merchants, Edo was not all 'imperial merchants'.

gave them peace of mind pills first, and showed Zheng Zhilong's attitude accurately. For a moment, the room was filled with gasps of relief.

Dead and poor, not dead friends. This is an inevitable choice for many people when crisis comes.

"Zheng Hou has clear grievances, and grievances are clear......"

"Zheng Hou's Atmospheric ......"

The next thing is all praise for Zheng Zhilong.

Matsuura Zhenxin knew that at this time, as long as he let go of all the people in front of him, then soon the news would spread throughout Nagasaki, and everyone's fears would naturally be dispelled.

But he didn't do that, but just asked them to send their entourage back to deliver the news.

Matsuura Zhenxin didn't even have to explain his meaning by himself, and the representatives of the merchants who were left behind opened their mouths one by one and said a large number to reward the army.

This is something that is understandable, and it is also something that makes sense and reason.

Zheng Jun came all the way and didn't provoke you, so you have to be obediently interested, right?

None of the numbers they spit out were small, because they did not pay for them themselves, but represented different stores behind them, merchants from the same group.

Songpu Town summed up the confidence in it, this number is not small, and he is very satisfied, so he waved his hand and let them go back to their homes.

Everyone is a smart person, a smart person just knows when to bow his head, and a smart person should know what it is to stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. So, don't hide it, let's talk about a reliable number, clean and neat, and you don't have to bargain.

Matsuura Zhenxin felt that his social influence and political status were slowly increasing, and Zheng Zhilong had completed his task in a short period of time.

Then naturally he will come to Zheng Zhilong to show his merits.

But I never thought that Zheng Zhilong would stay in the house for so long?

"Could it be that this is really a long-term master?" Matsuura Zhenxin recalled the appearance of the Tagawa clan in his mind, and felt that this was the case. When Zheng Zhilong got married, he only had a status, but he was not the Ming Annanhou who is now dominant. At that time, he was a wealthy merchant and a part-time pirate.

If the Tian Chuan clan really looks like a fairy, the country is beautiful and fragrant, and if he says something unpleasant, it will not be Zheng Zhilong's turn to take this flower away, right?

"But the long-term affection is good, the long-term affection is good...... "The longer Zheng Zhilong's affection, the better the Matsuura family can be.
