Tokugawa Iemitsu is definitely not a good character, even if he is afraid in his heart now, but after calming down, he thinks about how to learn all this, not surrender.

Regarding the fact that Tokugawa Iemitsu has bad intentions, Ren Zhen and Miao Shoumo have repeatedly confirmed it, and they both agree with each other.

At the same time, the two also agreed with Emperor Chongzhen's statement that he would raze Japan - if this kind of wolf ambition is not eliminated as soon as possible, it will become a big disaster in the future.

As for now, the top priority is to let this kid see what the Ming Navy is called - I don't know why His Majesty the Emperor changed the name of the Navy Division, but listening to it lifts his spirit.

And Zheng Zhihu, who was unhappy because Tagawa Jiro Emon failed to follow his sister-in-law to Daming, also saw that the Tokugawa family was unhappy for a long time.

This time even if dry wood meets fire, pheasant meets pervert.

As soon as Ren Zhen and Miao Shoumo discussed with Zheng Zhihu, the three of them decided to give the loser a little color on the whale matter first.

After the ship left Japan, Zheng Zhilong began to order his men to pay attention to the appearance of whales at sea while heading towards Denglai.

At this time, the environmental pollution was not serious, and not long after leaving Japan, there were several whales alone.

Ren was really a little anxious, and said to Zheng Zhihu when Tokugawa Iemitsu was not present: "Don't hurry up yet?" Will you be able to ascend tomorrow afternoon? ”

Zheng Zhihu, who was extremely unhappy in his heart, said: "Yes, but it will be tomorrow afternoon, not this afternoon, now that so many whales have been killed, how can you get Denglai back?" Take a step back, even if you get it back, it probably stinks. ”

When anyone really heard this, he gave up the idea of letting Zheng Zhilong get a few whales to have a good time now.

By noon the next day, the fleet had once again spotted a pod of whales.

Zheng Zhihu was excited at this moment, and ordered repeatedly: "Go, go to the cabin and call out the angels and the little dwarf of the Wa Kingdom, eat whale meat at noon today, and dock in the afternoon!" ”

When the soldiers went to call people, Zheng Zhihu ordered again: "Don't be afraid of wasting today, when they come, they will be hit with cannons first, and then shoot fish arrows!" ”

Most of the people in Zheng Zhihu's fleet were pirates who originally followed the Zheng brothers at sea, and their enmity with the Japanese was not small, and this time they had the opportunity to scare the Japanese dwarfs, and they were even more excited in their hearts.

Waiting for everyone to reach the deck, Zheng Zhihu said: "We can land in the afternoon, we can't go to supply empty-handed, that doesn't look like words, we have to bring some souvenirs."

It just so happens that there is a group of whales here, and you have to get a few of them, so that the people of Denglai can also try them. ”

At this time, Japan was not without whaling, and whether it was whale meat or other fish, it was the mainstream food in Japan at this time - the so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, and the people who could eat meat in Japan under the war for many years were all Chinese.

It doesn't matter what kind of Chinese it is, in short, it is not something that those untouchables can eat.

And whaling is also a big deal for the Japanese slaves at this time, after all, the size of the whale is there, no matter how small the whale is, it is much larger than the Japanese slave's boat, and a careless situation is that the boat capsizes and drowning.

Zheng Zhihu's fleet, on the other hand, had no such concerns at all.

The Fukufu, which is the largest in the world in terms of size, especially the Fufune that was later renovated and equipped with dozens of guns, is not too easy to deal with a pod of whales - if it is replaced by a Japanese dwarf boat, there is basically no solution to take the Fubune except to set fire to it after approaching.

Even so, you have to be careful not to be knocked over by the lucky boat.

After Zheng Zhihu, who was deliberately frightened, gave the order, the chord window on the left side of the Fu ship was opened first, and more than two dozen guns were added to it stretched out.

With an order, a rumbling sound sounded, like thunder.

Immediately after, the bow and stern of the ship, like a siege chise, opened its bowstring, and with a creaking sound, it dragged a long rope towards the location of the whales.

There were six of them in the bow and stern, and four more on the deck, and the one on the left side also shot the crossbow.

By the time the shaking caused by the cannon shooting had stopped, the surviving whales in the group had scattered, and the sea was covered with red blood.

If you look at the sea surface alone, you will think that the sea is red.

As the order to close the net was given, the long rope carried by the crossbow arrows began to shrink back a little.

Of the eight crossbows that were fired, six were retrieved empty, and only one of the crossbow arrows on the bow and deck hit the whale, and the rest missed.

There are more than a dozen whales floating on the sea.

After ordering the heralds to bring a whale with each of the accompanying ships, Zheng Zhihu pretended to regret and said: "What is the use of making so many of these losers?" You said you couldn't take it away, so you threw it away! ”

After finishing speaking, he picked up Zheng Fusong, who also ran to the deck without the slightest fear, and the two of them played, but they left Ren Zhen and the others aside.

Ren Zhen laughed and said, "Have you ever seen such a scene before?" ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was still a little unconvinced in his heart, really flashed a trace of fear in his eyes at this time, and arched his hand: "Uncle Hui, my little nephew has lived on the island for a long time, and I have never seen such a scene." ”

Ren Zhen said: "It's okay, you will get used to seeing it a few more times, and if you know how to catch this whale, you will be able to live a good life with the people of Japan in the future." ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu first said hello and politely thanked Zheng Zhihu and Ren Zhen before returning to the cabin to rest.

Tokugawa Iemitsu also knew the purpose of this group, to put it bluntly, it was to let himself see how hard Daming's fists were, let himself weigh it, and don't make any bullshit tribute battles or any more chaos in the future.

But the conscience of heaven and earth, Tokugawa Iemitsu originally planned to close off the country, and he didn't plan to play this mess with you, okay?

Before there is complete unification within the country, we will never be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty!

Tokugawa Iemitsu secretly made a decision in his heart.

Ren Zhen on the deck gave Zheng Zhihu a thumbs up and said, "General Zheng did a beautiful job, this little man is afraid that he is scared and not necessarily." ”

Zheng Zhihu, who was holding Zheng Fusong, laughed and said: "It's good to be scared to death, dog, how dare you talk about why a Japanese girl can't enter the Central Plains, and leave my little nephew alive on that broken island to suffer!" ”

Ren Zhen smiled and said, "This is not necessarily a good thing. Do you think, this Kyushu Island will be Daming's in the future, right? Let your little nephew live on Kyushu Island, what's the difference between it and Daming? ”

Zheng Zhihu said hatefully: "It's better to take away all the islands of those dwarf people, and let them feed the fish in the sea, it's annoying to look at!" ”

Ren Zhen didn't answer again, but just took Zheng Fusong from Zheng Zhihu's arms and teased him.

Damn, you feed all the Japanese slaves to the sea, who will Lao Tzu's Fushou paste sell to?

His mother!

When they arrived at the shore in Ningbo, Ren Zhen, who asked the little devils to complete the trade first, saw Zheng Zhilong and put forward a request that Zheng Zhilong didn't know whether it was good or bad - Emperor Chongzhen asked Zheng Zhilong's eldest son to enter Beijing when he was seven years old, and Emperor Chongzhen wanted to take him with him to train him.

That's what Zheng Zhilong struggled with.

Is the emperor worried about himself? Do you want to take your own son hostage?

Zheng Zhilong, who felt that he couldn't figure it out, simply brought Zheng Zhifeng here, this guy has read books and has a good brain.

After listening to Zheng Zhilong's description, Zheng Zhifeng pondered and said, "It shouldn't be, at least Your Majesty shouldn't have this idea now."

Otherwise, our brothers would have been disposed of long ago. There are not many others, how many of our brothers are now devoted to the imperial court? How many people were secretly infiltrated and bought by Jinyiwei? ”

Zheng Zhilong has nothing to say, Zheng Zhifeng knows what he said, there must be many people who are on the side of the court, even if he puts up an anti-flag now, I am afraid that there will be few responders.

Especially now that the entire South China Sea Fleet has been fully equipped with artillery and firearms, although traditional swords and other things are also being used, the proportion of firearms is several times higher than before.

The consequence of the replacement of firearms is that the combat effectiveness of the South China Sea Fleet is countless times stronger than in the past, but correspondingly, its dependence on logistics has also increased countless times.

At least after the supply of ammunition is cut off, the entire South China Sea Fleet will be about the same, if not a live target.

But now the imperial court has no idea of controlling the supply at all, and every time the ammunition is replenished, it is very timely, and the amount is full.

From this point of view, Zheng Zhifeng's statement that there is no suspicion can be established.

But why did he want his son to go to the capital? How did His Majesty the Emperor know about his eldest son?

Zheng Zhifeng continued: "Anyway, the eldest brother can accompany the little nephew for two years, and it is actually a good thing to wait for two years before letting him enter Beijing." At the very least, the name of a protégé of the Son of Heaven exists. ”

Zheng Zhilong said: "That's for sure, how can those poor sours who have the name of the protégé of the Son of Heaven be compared with the children cultivated by His Majesty himself, this is the real protégé of the Son of Heaven!" ”

It's just that he was just finished proud, Zheng Zhilong said with a bitter face: "But I'm still worried that this is Your Majesty's means to balance us, and this little child has become a proton, and I am the father, hey!" ”

Zheng Zhifeng thought about it, but said with a smile: "Big brother is really a fan of the authorities, don't say anything else, do you have the intention of rebelling now?" ”

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he jumped up in fright, and then remembered that there was no one on the boat, and there was nothing to worry about, so he glared at Zheng Zhifeng and said, "It's a fart!" How good are the days now, except for Liu Xiang, the grandson of the sea, who can't look down on our brothers?

And didn't the overseer of our fleet say that if our brothers died fighting for the country, not only will they be able to enter the Martyrs' Shrine in the future to enjoy the incense of eternity, but even the children in the family will be stained with it. ”

After sighing, Zheng Zhilong continued: "If it is said that it was before, this Da Ming is unstable, and there is no good way for the Tartars in Liaodong to become rampant like that, but they have repeatedly lost ground, and the officials in the court are busy with corruption and do not do their jobs."

But since His Majesty ascended the throne, if you look at the Tartars in Liaodong, what has become of the scourge now.

The last time I went to Dongjiang to send some whale meat to Mao Wenlong, the Dongjiang Army, tsk, was really a shotgun for a gun.

Listening to Mao Wenlong, they were all exchanged for Jiannu's head.

Besides, in this court, there are many first-class and second-class officials who have been cut down, and the lives of the common people are better.

Let's fight back at this time, it's no fun! I still want to be loyal to the country! ”

Zheng Zhifeng smiled and said: "That's it, anyway, we don't plan to rebel or anything, what's the difference between the little nephew and whether he goes to the capital or not?" ”

After a pause, Zheng Zhifeng lowered his voice and said, "According to the younger brother's opinion, Your Majesty may be preparing for the East Palace. ”

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he was immediately angry and said, "What nonsense! Your Majesty is now in the prime of spring and autumn, why do you need to plan for the East Palace? ”

Zheng Zhifeng said: "No matter how young Your Majesty is, this son will have to have sooner or later, but look at what the current nobles are like?"

In addition to the British public series, how many good ones are there? When Xu Da was the founding of the country, he often met the proud soldiers of the spring, how many are there in the Ming Dynasty now?

Our Majesty took one step at a time and looked at ten steps, probably thinking that the person who is comfortable with it now may not listen to the words of the East Palace in the future, in case any of them fall to the civil official again, isn't Your Majesty even worse?

It is estimated that if it weren't for this, His Majesty might not have this mind. To put it bluntly, the little nephew should be the back hand left by His Majesty to the East Palace. ”

Zheng Zhilong was about to nod in agreement, but suddenly said: "The back hand of the fart, the prince of the Ming Dynasty has not been established, and His Majesty wants to keep the back hand?" ”

Zheng Zhilong's words are actually polite statements, to put it bluntly, Emperor Chongzhen doesn't even have a son now, and he is a prince? Thinking too much.

Zheng Zhifeng said: "Daming now has an eldest princess!" What does this mean? After a few years, won't this prince be a matter of time? ”

After finishing speaking, Zheng Zhifeng said shyly: "In case Your Majesty takes a fancy to the little nephew, the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty ......"

Zheng Zhilong said: "Fart you, is this kind of thing done by a good man, Princess Shang?" When the time comes, you won't be able to lead soldiers to fight, and officials with real power won't be able to do it, and this life still has a fart meaning! ”

Zheng Zhifeng objected: "You didn't see Your Majesty's actions after he ascended the throne? Basically, they are all going on the path of a strong man, and their relatives may not have a chance to make a comeback in the future. Besides, who can say what will happen in the future? ”

After finishing speaking, Zheng Zhifeng sneered again: "Do you think that those officials now don't want to block Your Majesty, and even let Your Majesty fall into the water like Emperor Zhengde and the previous emperor?"

It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare! Now that His Majesty is in military power, who would dare?

Those things that have no eggs have been killed by His Majesty! ”
