Chapter 284: Promise

Another thing that made Tokugawa Hidetada even more troublesome was that a group of maritime merchants who were dissatisfied with his ban on the sea actually plotted to overthrow the rule of the shogunate.

If it weren't for the secret letter from the feudal lord of Hizen Province, he would still be in the dark. This matter must not be tolerated, and the forces that dare to resist must be eliminated no matter what. This is related to the rule of the Tokugawa family over the entire Wa Kingdom, and it must not be careless.

Under the orders of Tokugawa Hidetada, the entire Hizen Province was mobilized. They went around arresting merchants from all over the world, as long as they were not Japanese people.

In a mansion in the Hirado Domain, a pregnant Japanese woman knelt behind Zheng Yiguan and helped him comb his hair.

"Can you not go?" The woman whispered.

"Can't! Our twenty-eight brothers have already made a bloody alliance, and I will definitely participate in today's affairs. Zheng Yiguan was categorical.

He thought he was a guest of honor of the Matsuura clan of the Hirado clan, and his wife was married to the daughter of the Tagawa family, a retainer of the Matsuura clan. The relationship between the two was very good after marriage, and at this time, the twenty-eight brothers contacted by Yan Siqi were leaked against the shogunate.

Nowadays, the Hirado Domain is looking for foreign merchants everywhere, and Zheng Yiguan, as a half-Japanese national, is not among them at all.

Today was the day of their deliberations, and the people of the Hirado clan had already surrounded the garrison of the Wakoku Koro Yan Siqi. Zheng Yiguan must be more than auspicious when he goes, how can Tian Chuansong, who is pregnant, let her husband take risks.

Zheng Yiguan turned to his wife and said, "Songzi! As soon as I leave, you will sail to the Satsuma Domain. When you get there, you will find a Ming person and say that it is my wife Zheng Yiguan, so naturally someone will take you to Changsheng Island. In any case, we must raise our children, if we give birth to a boy, we will call it Zheng Sen, and the girl will be called Songzi! ”

After speaking, Zheng Yiguan left without looking back, leaving only his tearful wife. In the past few years, he has been wandering in the Wa Kingdom, relying on a letter. The eldest husband has a promise, and since he has a blood alliance with Yan Siqi, he will definitely come to help.

Zheng Yiguan, who went out and rode on a war horse, took his brothers and went straight to Yan Siqi's station.

Today, Yan Siqi sat in a daze in a spacious warehouse, never thinking that his plan to overthrow the shogunate would leak out.

Now the outside is surrounded by Japanese samurai ashigaru, and it is difficult to escape to the sky. Is it impossible to die in the country?

A man who was not tall but very strong came to Yan Siqi and said, "Big brother! What are you waiting for? It's full of people outside, so let's kill them quickly! ”

Yan Siqi waved his hand and said, "Today is the appointed time at noon, what will we do with those brothers who come over as soon as we leave?" ”

"Big brother! At this time, those brothers were either caught by the Japanese or fled from the Japanese country, how could anyone still come? The man said unwillingly, it would be dangerous to stay in the country for a while now. Looking at the dense crowd of widows outside, his heart kept beating.

Yan Siqi looked at the man and said, "Born! We walk the rivers and lakes with the heaviest commitment, and it is their business that others do not come. But what I Yan Siqi said will be fulfilled! ”

"Big brother......" What else did the man say, Yan Siqi turned around and came to the door to look out. Now there is still half an hour before noon, and the Japanese people outside may come in at any time.

It was still unknown whether the 1,800 men in it would be able to escape, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. I don't know if it's worth it to stay in this dangerous country for the sake of an illusory promise!

Suddenly! There was a great confusion among the Japanese people who surrounded them outside, and a team of hundreds of people came in.

Yan Siqi saw a hint of joy on his face when he saw this, and turned around and shouted: "Yang Tiansheng! See, there are brothers coming! Get out and pick up the brothers outside! ”

Yang Tiansheng blushed at the greed for life and fear of death just now, he didn't expect that someone would rush to join him at the risk of being killed.

He waved the broadsword in his hand, "Brothers! Come with me and pick up my brother in. With that, they opened the door of the warehouse and rushed out, and they joined forces with the people outside, and soon killed the Japanese people who surrounded them, and entered the warehouse together.

"Brother Yan! The little brother is a little late, and he hopes that the eldest brother will atone for his sins! Zheng Yiguan shouted loudly as soon as he entered the warehouse gate.

"Where! Where! The official brothers came as promised, and Yan was grateful! Yan Siqi grabbed Zheng Yiguan affectionately, with a smile on his face.

"Brother Yan! Although we have killed the Japanese people, this is their territory, so let's make plans early! Zheng Yiguan said straight to the point.

Yan Siqi heard Zheng Yiguan's words, and also said: "Exactly! Now that the Japanese are powerful, it is better for us to avoid them for a while. I want to go to Taiyuan Island to gain a foothold first, I don't know if the official brother is willing to go? ”

Zheng Yiguan listened to it and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Yan, the younger brother also planned to go to Taiyuan Island to gain a foothold at the beginning. But ......"

"But what?" Yan Siqi immediately asked, this is the foundation of his future development, and he can't be a little careless!

Zheng Yiguan hesitated for a moment before he said, "Does Brother Yan know about the Dutch people?" ”

"Red-haired fan?" Yan Siqi asked rhetorically, he is not like Zheng Yiguan, who is also a thief and a businessman. The humanistic meaning of the Wa State Jialuo is the leader of the Wako, and what he does is to buy and sell without capital. I didn't know much about the Xiyi people, and when I heard Zheng Yiguan say that the Dutch people couldn't help but show doubts.

Zheng Yiguan began to explain: "The Dutch people are the same people who fought with the imperial court in Penghu a few years ago! ”

"Oh!" Yan Siqi finally had some understanding when he heard this. This group of red-haired Xiyi people is too powerful, and a dozen or so large splint boats make the entire Fujian sailors helpless. If you don't take the initiative to retreat, you don't know when this battle will be fought.

Zheng Yiguan continued: "The Dutch people have already established two fortified cities on Taiyuan Island, the city of Geranza and the city of Chichi, and have regarded them as their own territory. If Big Brother wants to develop there, he will definitely have to conflict with the Dutch! ”

Yan Siqi couldn't help muttering in his heart when he heard this. He has a lot of brothers, not counting the people here there are more than 3,000 people.

If you encounter the natives on Taiyuan Island, it will definitely be a massacre, and if you get into a fight with the Dutch, it will be very lucky.

When he was calculating the strength of his troops, Zheng Yiguan's words made his heart completely cool.

"Brother Yan! It's not just the Dutch who covet Taiyuan Island, I wonder if my eldest brother has ever heard of the gang that ransacked Macau? ”

"They, too?" The shock in Yan Siqi's heart can be imagined, and everyone covets the wealth of Macau. But none of them succeeded, and the forts in the harbor killed the pirates.

There are more than a dozen warships of all sizes in Macao, and such forces have been looted. It is said that there are hundreds of sea ships that transport treasure alone, and if they also look at Taiyuan Island, they really don't have much fun.
