Chapter 349: The lord of the Hirado clan did not dare to be arrogant
Cai Zhishan suggested: "We will send tens of thousands of people to the island, disguise themselves as ronins from the island nation, and participate in their ronin rebellion, so that we can draw the attention of the Tokugawa shogunate to their domestic contradictions and relax their guard against us." ”
Gao Junshan thought that this was a good idea, at least it could add fuel to their turmoil, and he sent a telegram to Zheng Zhilong, asking him to take full control of the matter.
……
Island country, Hirado, Zheng Fu.
After Zheng Zhilong received Gao Junshan's telegram, he invited Xu Dongguo, commander of the 603rd Division, and Wu Jiangcheng, chief of staff, to the mansion to discuss how to operate.
In the living room of the Zheng Mansion, Zheng Zhilong, Xu Dongguo and Wu Jiangcheng sat together, drinking tea and discussing countermeasures.
Xu Dongguo said: "There is not much difference between us Chinese and people from island countries, as long as we change into their clothes, they can't tell the difference." ”
Zheng Zhilong said: "Although the appearance is similar, the language is still very different, and it is difficult to organize a team of tens of thousands of people at once!" ”
Xu Dongguo said: "This is easy to do!" Change all the people of our 603rd Division, aren't there nearly 10,000 people? ”
Zheng Zhilong shook his head: "This will definitely not work, most of the soldiers in your division are from the north, and their identities will be exposed as soon as they speak." ”
Chief of Staff Wu Jiangcheng said: "It is unrealistic to select people in the army, we still have combat missions, and I think it is better to select reliable militia in the three provinces of Ryukyu, Taiwan, and Fujian." ”
Xu Dongguo agreed: "This is very good, let them send 350,000 people over, and the problem will be solved." ”
Zheng Zhilong said worriedly: "We have increased tens of thousands of people at once, how can we explain to the lord of the Hirado domain?" ”
Xu Dongguo said: "Explain a dick, these are the ronins of the island country, who will pay attention to their comings and goings?" ”
Wu Jiangcheng said: "What the chief of staff said is extremely true. Let them dress up before they go, and we will take care of them to the island. ”
Zheng Zhilong said: "This matter must be supported by the second prince, I will send a telegram to the second prince, and the second prince will organize the militia of Ryukyu and Taiwan to come over." ”
The second prince is the Gao Cheng Army, who is currently in the Ryukyus.
Xu Dongguo stood up and said: "The militia in Fujian is organized by our Sixth Army Corps, and I will go back to the division headquarters now and send a telegram to the commander of the Ma Army." ”
Zheng Zhilong also stood up and said, "This matter is very urgent, Zheng will not leave the two." ”
Xu Dongguo and Wu Jiangcheng were about to raise their legs and leave, when Zheng Zhilong's second son, Tagawa Nanaemon, hurriedly walked in.
He came to Zheng Zhilong's side and whispered, "Father, the lord of the Hirado Domain, Matsuura Atsushinobu asks to see you. ”
Zheng Zhilong said to Xu Dongguo and Wu Jiangcheng: "You go through the back door, so as not to greet these people." ”
Xu Dongguo said: "It's okay, let's go through the back door." ”
Zheng Zhilong said to Tagawa Nanaemon: "Wu'er, send these two guests." ”
Tagawa Nanaemon bowed his hand to Xu Dongguo and Wu Jiangcheng: "Two distinguished guests, please come with me." ”
Tagawa Nanazaemon is the younger brother of Zheng Chenggong, and the reason why he is surnamed Tagawa is because Zheng Zhilong passed him on to his wife, Tagawa's maiden family.
In the early years, when Zheng Zhilong was doing business in the island country, Matsuura Takanobu, the third-generation lord of the Hirado domain, in order to marry Zheng Zhilong, married his adopted daughter of his mother, Mrs. Matsutoin, his godsister Tagawa Matsu, to Zheng Zhilong, so as to tie the two families. Tagawa Matsu was born to Emperor Weng Yu, an overseas Chinese, after entering the Tagawa family, a retainer of the Matsuura family, and then gave it to Matsuura Takanobu's mother as an adopted daughter, so it was called the Tagawa clan.
Xu Dongguo and Wu Jiangcheng were escorted by Tagawa Nanaemon, and after leaving, Zheng Zhilong had the lord of the Hirado domain invited in.
Zheng Zhilong is related to the Matsuura family, so they are very polite to each other.
After Zheng Zhilong beckoned Matsuura Atsunobu to sit down, Matsuura Atsunobu was very dissatisfied and angry at Zheng Zhilong: "Zheng Sang (Mr.), what do you want to do in Huaxiaguo!?" Since the strength of a division was raised, the 3,000 men of the Tokugawa shogunate had to withdraw from Hirado. ”
Zheng Zhilong said: "Don't be angry, the army of my Huaxia Kingdom came over as a last resort. In the past two years, the Japanese invaders at sea have frequently robbed our Chinese merchant ships, and the merchants have complained many times in front of our Chinese Emperor, and our Chinese Emperor has ordered me to submit a credential to you, asking you to give you a certain amount of compensation for the losses of our Chinese merchants, but this small request has been rejected by you, and we only need to send troops to protect our merchants. ”
Matsuura said: "As far as I know, the so-called Japanese were exterminated by your Chinese navy a few years ago, where did so many Japanese invaders appear out of thin air?" ”
Zheng Zhilong said helplessly: "I don't know if it's fabricated out of thin air, but we can't ignore the reports of the businessmen." Rest assured, as long as the Japanese are no longer rampant at sea, the army of our Huaxia Kingdom will definitely withdraw. ”
Matsuura said: "I hope Zheng Sang will not break his promise, and I will sit and wait for your Huaxia Kingdom to withdraw its troops." ”
Zheng Zhilong comforted: "I believe that Jun put his heart in his stomach, with my Zheng Zhilong here, your Songpu family will not have any loss." I've heard that the ronin is preparing to make trouble recently, so I think the shogunate still needs to be more vigilant. ”
Matsuura said confidently: "These ronins are a bunch of mud that can't hold up the wall, and there is nothing to be afraid of. ”
Zheng Zhilong pretended to be concerned and asked, "Do you want our Huaxia Kingdom to send troops to help you?" ”
"Let's see how things develop!" After Matsuura said this, he changed his words, "To be honest, we are not worried about the prodigal rebellion, but we are very worried about your bad intentions in Huaxia. ”
Zheng Zhilong said: "Believe in you, I, Zheng Zhilong, promise you that as long as the Japanese pirates on the sea are wiped out, the army on the island will definitely withdraw to Huaxia." ”
"Zheng Sang, I trust you, and I hope that your army is only for the purpose of exterminating the Japanese and has no other purpose. Farewell! ”
Zheng Zhilong said politely: "I believe that Jun will stay and have dinner before leaving!" ”
"Another day, another day." Atsunobu Matsuura walked as he spoke.
Matsuura believed that he had come to the Zheng Mansion this time to ask the soldiers for the crime, and when he came to the door of the Zheng Mansion, he saw the regular army of the Huaxia State with loaded guns and ammunition, and he knew that he was not an opponent, so he swallowed his anger in front of Zheng Zhilong.
The real situation is like this, after landing on Hirado Island, the 603rd Division of the Huaxia Kingdom was strongly resisted by the 3,000 shogunate troops, because the weapons used by the shogunate army were quite backward, where was the opponent of the regular army of the Huaxia State, it only took half a day to break their defense line, and these arrogant soldiers had to withdraw from Hirado Island in the face of the strong strength of Huaxia.
The lord of the Hirado domain, Matsuura Atsunobu, was furious when he got the news, and he had to come to Zheng Zhilong to vent his anger, but before he could enter the gate, his arrogance was completely vented.
