Every time Dongying fights together, Xu Xinsu will definitely go to Dongying, he will send money, food and ammunition to Dongying on the one hand, and he will send some loot to Daming on the other side. After Zheng Zhilong's war with the shogunate, the shogunate abolished the edict of seclusion, implemented a very open trade policy, and gradually increased the number of ships traveling between Toei and other countries.

But Dongying's official businessmen are still Xu Xinsu, but in Xu Xinsu's official business, the Zheng family has already accounted for half of the shares. Now that Xu Xinsu is older, he can no longer travel back and forth between the two places as before, and he now chooses to settle in the Ryukyus, and his business is also managed by his own children.

This time, he was involved in the trafficking of female slaves, and he deliberately stepped out himself, and he didn't want his heirs to be involved in such a thing. Now the biggest slave trader in the empire is no longer Xu Xinsu, and the empire itself is more and more strict about the slave trade, which is one of the reasons why Xu Xinsu gave up this business.

After Xu Xinsu arrived in Dongying, he immediately went to visit Zheng Zhilong.

During the banquet, Zheng Zhibao suddenly asked, "I heard that His Majesty has a high opinion of Zheng Sen, but is there such a thing?" ”

"I haven't been to Daming for a long time, and I haven't seen Your Majesty for almost ten years, what Your Majesty's evaluation of the prince is, I really don't know about this matter, but now that I think about it, Your Majesty has asked about the situation of the prince several times before." Xu Xinsu thought for a while and replied.

"Why haven't I heard you mention it?" Zheng Zhihu asked.

"Your Majesty just asked about Zheng Sen's situation, and the two of them have never been masked, I didn't care too much, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

"The prince is going to send Zheng Sen to envoy Daming, but I don't know if Zheng Sen is suitable? That's why I asked. Zheng Zhibao explained.

"It's a good choice to send Zheng Sen to envoy Daming, for Dongying's characters, except for you, the prince, only the prince has been mentioned by His Majesty several times, which shows that the prince still has weight in His Majesty's heart."

"Lord Wang, I thought I could send the prince to envoy Daming." Zheng Zhibao listened to Xu Xinsu's words and agreed.

Zheng Zhilong thought for a while and said, "Okay, let Zheng Sen get ready, and let him go with your ship to envoy Daming." ”

……

At the end of April, Zheng Sen accompanied Xu Xinsu's ship to Daming, and this time the cargo ship was still using the ships of the Royal Shipping Company. Because when he came to Dongying, he was involved in the transportation of embargoed materials, and he was accompanied by a large number of brocade guards. In Daming, only the Royal Shipping Company has such ocean shipping capabilities.

After leaving Dongying, Xu Xinsu often held banquets on the ship to entertain Zheng Sen and Jinyi Wei Qianhu Yangyun. And all the family members of Tokugawa Mitsutomo among the female slaves transported this time were on it. Zheng Sen was not very interested in this, but Yang Yun was very interested, especially Chiyohime.

Tokugawa Chiyohime is the daughter of Tokugawa Iemitsu, and her mother is Azhen of the Self-Evidence Academy. In the early years, Tokugawa Iemitsu was good at men and not good women, and in order to straighten Tokugawa Iemitsu, the Kasuga Bureau arranged Ah Zhen next to Tokugawa Iemitsu. In order to live up to her mission, in order to attract the attention of Jiaguang, Ah Zhen deliberately dressed herself as a man, so she also had the title of men's beauty.

Ah Zhen really lived up to expectations, she really straightened Tokugawa Iemitsu, and also made Tokugawa Iemitsu give birth to six children, and she and Tokugawa Iemitsu also gave birth to a son and a daughter, but the son died as soon as he was born, and the daughter was Tokugawa Chiyohime.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was very fond of Chiyohime, and when Chiyohime was three years old, he married fifteen-year-old Tokugawa Mitsutomo (in fact, Chiyohime was Tokugawa Mitsutomo's cousin and grandniece). And at the time of marriage, Tokugawa Iemitsu gave a very expensive dowry.

In this time and space, Tokugawa Chiyohime was tragic, after the Kyushu army broke through Nagoya Castle, Tokugawa Chiyohime was captured by the Kyushu army, and she is still only sixteen years old. For the Tokugawa family, Zheng Zhilong cannot be soft-hearted, and what he has always pursued is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

"My lord, the slave girl here, except for Chiyohime, who can't move, you can choose the others at will." Xu Xinsu dissuaded.

"Why don't you just move this Chiyohime?" Yang Yun asked.

"After this Chiyoji is trained, it will be given to the King of Jilin." Xu Xinsu said softly.

The king of Jilin is Zhu Cixuan, in terms of women, Zhu Youxiao's point of view is that everyone is lustful, regardless of men and women, as long as it is within the scope of Zhu Youxiao's tolerance, within the scope of the law, for these princes, Zhu Youxiao does not interfere too much, but if it is excessive, Zhu Youxiao will generally exile him to a remote place, and now there are princes who have been exiled because of this matter.

"Then I'll choose Kyohime!" Kyohime is the eldest daughter of Tokugawa Yoshinao.

"I'll have someone pack up Kyohhime and then send it to the adult's room." After Xu Xinsu finished speaking, he asked Zheng Sen again, "Does the prince need to make arrangements?" ”

"No need."

……

By July, Zheng Sen had arrived in Jingshi. After Zheng Sen resisted Jingshi, Zhu Youxiao specially hosted a banquet to entertain Zheng Sen. Regarding Zheng Sen's loan, Zhu Youxiao promised to lend him another 1 million taels of silver dollars, and Zhu Youxiao also agreed to postpone the loan that needed to be repaid this year for one year.

Zhu Youxiao was really happy to meet Zheng Sen. In history, no matter at what time or in any country, Zheng Sen has a very high evaluation, and for Zheng Sen, a national hero, Zhu Youxiao admires and admires him from the heart.

"I'll give you a glass of wine." Zhu Youxiao raised his wine glass and said.

"The minister doesn't dare to take it." Zheng Sen knelt down in the tunnel. Zheng Sen really didn't dare to stand Zhu Youxiao's toast, whether it was in terms of identity, status, age, etc., it was not Zhu Youxiao's turn to toast Zheng Sen.

"Flat, it's my impulse."

"This cup respects Your Majesty, and I wish the empire eternal stability, and Your Majesty will last forever."

"Okay." Zhu Youxiao didn't hesitate to dry it up.

"The matter of Dongying will depend on you and Liangren in the future, and I hope that you can cooperate sincerely to deal with the affairs of Dongying. I want to be a vassal of the empire forever. ”

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust."

"I heard that your mother believes in Buddhism, and I have a Buddha statue here that was given to your mother." Zheng Sen's mother is Tian Chuansong, in history, when the Qing army attacked Anping, in order to prevent the Qing army from being captured, she committed suicide with a sword and died by seppuku. Zheng Sen's lifelong determination to resist the Qing Dynasty has a lot to do with his mother's victimization of the Qing Dynasty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

……

When Zheng Sen left, Zhu Youxiao rewarded Zheng Sen with many gifts. At this moment, in Zheng Sen's heart, Zhu Youxiao is like an approachable elder, not at all like some folk legends, who are so happy and killing.

For Zheng Sen to get so many rewards from Zhu Youxiao, it also made Xu Xinsu dumbfounded, and he was finally able to confirm that Zhu Youxiao really recognized Zheng Sen.
