In later generations, when the East India Company became a large-cap stock of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the descendants of the Zheng family still had some activity in the shipping industry in China, but they could not be compared with the behemoth-like East India Company, and I don't know if there would be any resentment.

It is very normal to not be able to see the future situation clearly.

Is alternating current or direct current representing the future of mankind?

Is it an electric car or a gasoline car?

For the Presbyterian Church, the future development of science and technology, and even the extent of social development, and what kind of cultural reforms will be carried out, are well known.

But what makes them unable to see clearly is precisely this most difficult thing.

Popularity.

The human heart is easy to manipulate, and the human heart cannot be manipulated.

Xia Yunyi's panic is understandable, but in the future, the Council of Elders will have oracle bones, terracotta warriors, Yunmeng Qin Jian, Qinghua Jian, and countless modern archaeological discoveries that can be scientifically excavated by scientific means.

And Xia Yunyi had to go through spiritual baptism and blows again and again.

Zheng Zhilong's surrender and surrender table arrived in the imperial capital at the same time, is Zheng Zhilong's first-hand information on how to get the Tagawa clan and the family children to go to Japan, Zheng Zhilong submitted to the imperial capital The content of the surrender letter and the list of generals were handed over to the hands of the Council of Elders, Liang Cunhou held a meeting of elders, and once again agreed on the final "Fujian solution", and immediately reported it, announcing the change of Fujian and the great event of peace in the world.

At the same time, according to the conditions of the negotiation and handover, all Zheng troops accepted the reorganization of the elder army on the spot, including the Zheng family's naval army, merchant fleets and sailors, and they were also stationed in coastal ports in Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, waiting to accept the reorganization.

And Zheng Zhilong was very satisfied with the result of learning that he was named Marquis of Jinghai after receiving the so-called promise from the Council of Elders, in fact, he really didn't understand the presbyterian knighthood system, and he was still maintaining the question of how many rank officials the elder was, and he was knighted, that is, it was like when I was trapped, even if he was very rich, but Zheng Zhilong's pattern was here, a pirate leader, even if he worked hard, it was normal for him to have problems with his vision and pattern, but he didn't think that the Elders' Council would be so generous, He was made a marquis at once, which made him very satisfied and felt very face-saving.

Including his younger brothers and relatives, they also have their own rewards, try to make them corporate, even if they can't withstand it in the end, at least in this regard, the Council of Elders is a man of words, and does not give them too much meanness, and gives them a little opportunity to start various shipping commercial companies.

As for Zheng Jun's acceptance of the reorganization, they had nothing to say, in fact, most of Zheng Jun's sailors had already entered the captive camps of the Presbyterian Church, and it was likely that they would be dismissed on the spot, so there was nothing to worry about.

But for the reorganization of the Zheng family's sailors, the Zheng family has a little idea, after all, there is no obvious boundary between military ships, pirate ships and civilian ships in this era, including Western sailing ships, which can also be used to transport goods and conduct naval battles, although they were brutally attacked, but that is only the main force, the Zheng family has more than 2,000 ships of all kinds, including more than 400 Dafu ships and No. 2 Fu ships, as well as five or six hundred Haicang ships, white ships, black ships, Guangzhou ships, and fast ships. The rest are smaller, and there are more than 1,000 small seagoing vessels with less than 400 materials for offshore use.

And there are nearly 10,000 sailors in the sailors, these people can operate boats and merchants in peacetime, and they are sailors at any time in wartime.

In this matter, in fact, the two sides have also discussed before, at that time, the Council of Elders proposed that the Zheng family could be given 2% of the shares of the East India Company, and the Zheng family would take all the ships of more than 400 materials into the shares, as their future business purposes, of course, if they got the shares, they should not engage in pirates and armies, and those Zheng family sailors decided to stay according to their wishes, and those who were willing to stay under the Zheng family to continue to work could stay, and those who were willing to join the Presbyterian Navy could accept the reorganization.

In fact, Zheng Zhilong still didn't know that he had missed an opportunity to improve his social class, and changed his status from the imperial capital CPPCC to the CPPCC in Fujian.

After all, now the Zheng family is a little late, as a punishment, the original Elders' Council put forward the conditions can not be continued, according to Liang Cunhou's instructions, the new sea ship, to the Zheng family's order, the original quota on the big knife to cut in half, the original 200, now only for the Zheng family to order 100, and the personnel only allow the Zheng family to retain 3,000 people, the rest of all to the imperial capital, dismissed or come to the selection and then resettled.

Zheng Zhilong and the others were quite dissatisfied with the new plan proposed by the Council of Elders, but now they had no room to continue to resist, so they could only obey the arrangement.

In addition, Liang Cunhou recruited Zheng Zhilong and the people from the Zheng family who had been enshrined to go to the imperial capital, so that they could receive the influence of modern life to show their grace.

The Zheng family was quite worried about this, and they wanted not to go, but at this time, the Zheng army's morale was scattered, no matter how many years the old sailors were sunk by others when they saw their own ship, and they gave up any desire to resist.

Under the soldiers of the Council of Elders, Zheng Zhilong wanted not to go to the imperial capital and hide directly inland, but the disappearance of King Tang made him very afraid, even if it was inland, would it be absolutely safe? But at this time, they couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse, otherwise it would be clear that they would fight against the imperial capital and disrespect the new dynasty, so what would happen next, the Zheng family could not predict.

So in desperation, Zheng Zhilong had to obey the order, saying that he would go to the imperial capital as soon as possible to accept the appointment, but after the internal discussion of their family, Zheng Zhilong still learned the stunt of countless old fritters in Chinese history.

The Presbyterian Council naturally knew a lot about Tagawa Nanazaemon and Japan, but what they didn't know was that the penetration of Japan was even faster than in other places.

Just when Zheng Zhilong was ordered to go to the imperial capital, the takeover of Zheng Jun by all parties was also launched, and batches of Zheng Jun were ordered to lay down their weapons, were temporarily trapped, and then diverted and dismissed in batches, in fact, the living standards of these people were just like that, mixed with food and clothing, and the bulk of their income still became millions of gold and silver of the Zheng family. To this end, the Presbyterian Church allocated $2 million as severance pay and arranged land for them in Taiwan and elsewhere to return to their hometowns to farm.

For the Zheng family's sailors, the elders adopted the method of separating people and ships, temporarily allowing all the Zhengjia sailors to land and leave their ships, these sea ships, of course, the elders have no interest, but it is still possible to transform them into transport ships, some ships that are not suitable for use as war ships, some of them are directly dismantled, and the rest of the available ships are sold to Zhejiang, Fujian, and Nanzhili coastal merchants for future sea merchants.

The Zheng family saw this opportunity, and through the method of paying for redemption, they bought back a number of ships that originally belonged to them, of course, weapons can not be had, and there is no need, the Zheng family still has a unique advantage in the Sino-Japanese trade route, and with the guidance of the elders in technology, Japan can also find its own comparative advantage in international trade.

However, the Council of Elders also fulfilled the original conditions, protected the property that originally belonged to the Zheng family, and did not infringe on the property and family members of the Zheng family, which made the Zheng family somewhat relieved.

In fact, after Zheng Zhilong announced his surrender, there was actually a big debate within the Council of Elders about how to deal with Zheng Zhilong, and many people proposed that even if Zheng Zhilong surrendered, but this person was not credible, even if he did not kill, at least he should be placed under surveillance in a certain city, and once he found that the Zheng family was against him, he would be killed immediately.

Of course, most people believe that the imperial court should emphasize faith and righteousness, and should not go too far with Zheng Zhilong, and adopt gentle means to gradually divide the Zheng family group so that it can gradually settle down in the future.

The so-called big country means killing the whole family, then you must kill the whole family, including cats and dogs, or no one will look down on you.

In his opinion, the surrender of the Zheng family this time, although it was forced to a large extent, but in essence, it was only in terms of thinking and system, they did not fit the social transformation plan implemented by the Presbyterian Church, and now the Zheng family has basically seen the power of the Presbyterian Church, and continue to be our enemy, they will have no place to stand on the mainland in the future, so there is no need at all, what conspiracy is used to force the Zheng family to comply, is it really the family to run away to Japan?

And among the original Zheng army, not everyone is a hardcore supporter of the Zheng family, the so-called Eighteen Zhi, to a large extent, is a temporary chamber of commerce company, between the presbyterian church and the Zheng family, they can distinguish which is stronger and which is weak, most of them are coerced and persecuted, or in order to mix food, only to do things in the Zheng army, now the Zheng family is surrendered, the entire army will be completely dispersed, even if the Zheng family still has a group of diehards, but the number is limited, it is not enough to become a problem.

Moreover, according to the analysis of the intelligence collected so far, although the Zheng family's business is very large, and the family wealth is also rich and rivals the country, (the country of the Ming Dynasty), but the main foundation of the Zheng family is basically still on land in Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and other places, and the sea is only based on Xiamen Island, Kinmen Island and Penghu.

After five years of accumulation, the strength of the Presbyterian Church has grown rapidly, this time after the Zheng family surrendered, although the Zheng family can legally retain a hundred sea ships, but the rest of the Zheng family's naval warships have been handed over for processing, under the elimination of the other, the Zheng family's sea power has evaporated as much as seventy or eighty percent, even if the Zheng family wants to be lawless at sea and control the sea trade routes, then in front of the Elders, they can soon let their Zheng family be wiped out.

Moreover, the real strength of the Zheng family, relying on the source of the desperation of the poor people in Fujian who had no choice but to go to the sea to make cannon fodder and eat rice, no longer exists, and after Fujian began to publicize the immigration policy, the tradition of overseas immigrants in Fujian was opened.

The immigration policy of the Presbyterian Church is very simple, even if it is a native Chinese immigrant, it must be mixed with each other, and it cannot form a monopoly.

Therefore, after this toss, the Zheng family can no longer have any influence on the situation in China, and it is not bad to be a rich businessman, and Liang Cunhou has never thought of completely exterminating them for the Zheng family, a maritime merchant, China needs such a pioneer in maritime trade now, as long as the interests of their Zheng family are guaranteed, then the Zheng family has no reason to continue to make trouble, and no one wants to be a villain to do such a cold thing.

Compared with the experience of being trapped in history and being transported to the imperial capital in a cage, and then being neatly clicked away, Zheng Zhilong was recruited into the imperial capital with a feeling of anxiety after more than a month of friction.

Liang Cunhou finally saw this sea hero for more than ten years for the first time in the reception hall of the old city, and what surprised him was Zheng Zhilong's youth, this famous sea hero in Chinese history, at this time he was only in his forties, although he was not tall, but he was quite handsome, and even the maintenance was quite good.

As soon as Zheng Zhilong entered the main hall, he immediately knelt down with several younger brothers and relatives, and wanted to say long live, since Chen Toushun was late, he asked Liang Cunhou to forgive his sins.

rejected this unconscious sycophant, and said with a smile: "It's good to come, but after all, it didn't make a big mistake, and I won't blame you anymore!" Now that you can resolutely get lost and return, it is really the luck of the people of Fujian and the luck of my China! Come, sit down. ”

Zheng Zhilong didn't expect that Liang Cunhou, the "new emperor" of the imperial capital, would be so young, in fact, Liang Cunhou is much older than Zheng Zhilong, but with proper maintenance, he looks like he is only thirty or forty years old, even younger than him.

Although Liang Cunhou's words slightly brought out a hint of dissatisfaction with him coming to Toushun now, but on the whole, Liang Cunhou is still relatively satisfied with the fact that he can return to Shun, of course, the role of Erika and Zheng Sen is not small, and now, after letting him sit down, he chose to ask him if he was satisfied with the climate and diet when he arrived in the north, and if there was anything he needed to say, this shows that Liang Cunhou did not have too many thoughts about putting them to death, which made Zheng Zhilong feel at ease.

Next, I talked about Zheng Zhilong's "work" arrangement, in fact, although this person died a little ridiculously in history, he can still borrow it in shipping and in Japan.
