Brian saw Wyvett sitting there quietly, apparently losing interest in talking to him, so he didn't speak, turned and walked outside. Recently, a few Japanese women have arrived here, so let's go and spend time with them! Staying by Waite's side, he felt uncomfortable all over.

With a gentle sip of wine, a smile gradually appeared on Waite's face, and he walked to the side of the map. Stretched out his hand and pointed at Penghu, then at Xiamen, and finally his hand fell to Taiwan!

Standing at the bow of the ship, Zheng Yiguan's face was a little helpless, and he still flew in the air when he arrived in Japan. I really don't know how this news came out, Li Dan didn't receive any news there.

Zheng Yiguan was originally working as an interpreter for the Dutch in Penghu, but Li Dan sent himself to Nanjing, so that he did not know about the news from Japan. Looking at the opening on the warship, Zheng Yiguan was still scared into a cold sweat, if he hadn't been alert, I'm afraid he would have died in Japan. I really don't know what my brother-in-law thinks, and I don't notify myself of such a big thing!

The one who was called his righteous brother by Zheng Yiguan was Yan Siqi, a famous sea merchant on the coast, or a famous pirate. In the 40th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Yan Siqi was bullied by the eunuchs, killed his servants in anger, fled to Japan, worked as a tailor, and concurrently engaged in Sino-Japanese maritime trade, (in fact, it was a pirate). After a few years, the savings grew richer. During this period, Yang Tiansheng, a shipowner in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, who often went to Nagasaki to trade, formed deep friendships and got acquainted with a group of people with lofty ideals from southern Fujian who lived in Japan and engaged in overseas adventures. Because of his popularity and fame, the Japanese authorities in Hirado appointed him as the leader of the snails.

After years of operation. In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Yan Siqi already had a lot of family business. At that time, the change of government in Japan ended, and Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third shogun of the Tokugawa family, ascended to the position of great shogun. In Tokugawa Iemitsu's view, these foreign merchants were Japan's growing poverty. There is no good feeling for these businessmen.

Tokugawa Iemitsu even believed that the reason why the Ming Dynasty was strong was because of his foreign policy, which was the strict sea ban. Historically, after Tokugawa Iemitsu ruled the country by force. Tokugawa Iemitsu ordered a policy of seclusion and seclusion.

After this retreat, Japan completely withdrew from maritime trade, which lasted until the Meiji Restoration in modern times. In 1853, Perry of the United States led an army to Japan and forced the shogunate to sign a series of unequal treaties, and Japan was in danger of becoming a colony and a semi-colony, provoking contradictions among the Japanese people, and the shogunate's rule was in jeopardy.

Eventually, the curtain fell movement. In 1868, the Shogunate faction defeated the Shogunate Army in the war. Tokugawa Yoshiki led his army to Kaejo and surrendered. The Tokugawa shogunate, which had ruled for more than 260 years, completely collapsed. Formulating Japan's policy of closing the country to the outside world. It was the shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu.

In his opinion, the daimyo were able to rebel against him, most of which were due to the profits from maritime trade, which increased their strength. This is another reason why Tokugawa Iemitsu closed off the country. Such an idea directly determined his policy.

In the fourth year of the Tomorrow Apocalypse, Yan Siqi and others were dissatisfied with the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan. Plotting a rebellion and participating in the resistance struggle of the Japanese people. On June 15, Yan Siqi and Yang Tiansheng, Chen Xinji, Zheng Yiguan and other 28 people worshiped the alliance as brothers and made an oath: "Life is not the same day, death must be at the same time."

Everyone thinks about the alliance leader. Unfortunately, the shogunate sent troops to search for it, and Siqi led the people to flee in thirteen ships. Sailing to the outer island of Zhou Tsaiwei on the west coast of Kyushu, Chen Xinji suggested: "I heard that Shuqiu is a desert island on the sea, the potential is controlled in the southeast, and the land is fertile and domineering. ”

Originally, Zheng Yiguan was also going to participate in this rebellion, but he was sent to Nanjing by Li Dan and missed this time. After all, it was not yet time to rebel, and he was in a hurry to return to Japan, so naturally there was a reason for this incident. However, he didn't expect that the matter would be leaked, and he was almost caught in Japan.

Now that Yan Siqi has arrived in Taiwan, Zheng Yiguan naturally wants to go too, after all, his family is also there. However, the location is the best, Penghu is now occupied by the Dutch, and if you want to have a good development, you must drive the Dutch away. I don't know how Yan Siqi is doing recently, and if he has encountered any difficulties!

However, Zheng Yiguan now has a big mystery in his heart, why didn't his father-in-law Li Dan tell him the news. It is impossible for his stepfather not to know such a big thing, but why didn't he tell himself? Could it be that he really didn't know about his relationship with Yan Siqi?

suddenly remembered what Li Dan said to himself when he was in Xiamen, it seems that his father-in-law still knows something, but he doesn't know that he and Yan Siqi are brothers. After all, he and others are going to rebel, so naturally they won't publicize it everywhere. Thinking about it this way, it is understandable that his stepfather did not say it to himself.

After exculpating Li Dan, Zheng Yiguan's thoughts went to Taiwan again, and he didn't know what was going on there!

On the 23rd day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, Siqi led a fleet to the bay and docked at Bengang (now Beigang, Taiwan). Seeing that the island is fertile and beautiful, and a large area of wilderness has not been explored, Siqi decided to expand his territory here and do a career. It is to gather wood and soil to build a squatter village. At that time, Tufan thought that foreign enemies were invading, and the tribe attacked. Siqi bereaved to appease them, agreed on the border, and did not interfere with each other. In the plains (now Xingang) on the southeast shore of Bengang, Siqi planned and built a tic-tac-toe camp with a large high platform in the middle, making it the center of organizing and directing reclamation. At the same time, Yang Tiansheng was sent to lead a fleet to Zhang, Quan's hometown to recruit immigrants, counting more than 3,000 people before and after.

Yan Siqi divided the people into ten villages, and distributed them to Yinliang, ploughing cattle, farm tools, etc., and began the earliest large-scale reclamation activities in Taiwan. Reclamation requires capital investment, so Yan Siqi selected a group of people from Zhang and Quan, who had maritime experience, and used the original thirteen large ships to take advantage of the convenience of maritime transportation to carry out maritime trade with the mainland; At the same time, it organizes sea fishing and island hunting, and develops the mountain and sea economy to meet the material needs of the migrants in production and life.

Now in January of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, what Yan Siqi has done in Taiwan has paid off. Slowly, they gained a firm foothold in Taiwan and wanted to turn it into their own independent kingdom. At this time, Zheng Yiguan came to Taiwan on a ship.

Hearing that Zheng Yiguan was coming, Yan Siqi came to see Zheng Yiguan as soon as possible, and among these brothers, Yan Siqi's favorite is Zheng Yiguan. is bold, righteous and squandering money, and martial arts are second only to himself. However, there is one thing that Yan Siqi also admires very much, that is, Zheng Yiguan's resourcefulness.

"Yiguan, you're finally here! It's so hard for me to wait for you, you're not in Japan, and the things you planned are leaked, thanks to your brother! At that time, when the virtuous brother left, let the brother beware of the villain, but the brother still let the villain plot, and the brother is sorry for the virtuous brother! As soon as he saw Zheng Yiguan, before he could speak, Yan Siqi took his hand and kept talking.

Unlike Zheng Yiguan, Yan Siqi's appearance is more like a pirate, with a dark face and calluses on his hands and feet. Walking on the road without shoes, the trouser legs are rolled up high, and the whole person has a salty smell of seawater.

Listening to Yan Siqi tell the story with a smile, Zheng Yiguan slowly spoke: "Big brother, as the saying goes, it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen!" We've got into the heart, and it's okay if things don't work out. Besides, if it weren't for Japan's defeat, would Big Brother want to come to Taiwan? From the point of view of the younger brother, this is a good place to start a world of inheritance! If we have here, then we will have a foundation, and it will be time for you and my brother to show their strengths! ”

"Or my brother can speak, much better than them! Brother, let's go, let's not get drunk today! Yan Siqi suddenly laughed, and he was very happy about the territory he had created. It's just that the rest of the people's kung fu is far inferior to Zheng Yiguan, and only Zheng Yiguan can make him not bored, but very happy.

The two of them walked forward with a smile and a smile, and the people gathered more and more, and when they heard that Zheng Yiguan was back, everyone arrived here. He who slaughtered cattle and sheep drank more and more wine.

Sending Yan Siqi, who had drunk too much, back, Zheng Yiguan walked towards his residence. He has already inquired, and his family is arranged here, and his life is worry-free.

There was a woman standing at the gate of the courtyard, apparently waiting for Zheng Yiguan. A kimono makes her look very coquettish, and her face is not as scary as a Japanese woman, but similar to a Ming woman. This person is Zheng Yiguan's wife Weng, and she dresses like this because Zheng Yiguan likes it.

In the woman's arms, she held a child, which was the son born to the Weng family, but she had not seen Zheng Yiguan for a few months.

Walking over quickly, looking at the sleeping baby, Zheng Yiguan couldn't help but stretch out his finger and dot on his lips. As if sensitive, the child pursed his lips and then opened his eyes.

Seeing Zheng Yiguan's face, the child didn't cry, but stretched out his hands and motioned for Zheng Yiguan to hug him. With a cheerful smile on his face, he let out a giggle.

"It's really worthy of being my son, I recognize myself as soon as we meet!" While laughing, he hugged the child over, Zheng Yiguan turned his head and asked Weng, "Does the child have a name?" ”

"Xianggong is not here, how can anyone name the child, and now he has a nickname Fusong. The concubine hopes that he will live as long as a pine tree and be a blessed man! A touch of gloom flashed on Weng's face, and there was a hint of anger in his tone.

While holding the child and walking inside, Zheng Yiguan was holding his son, thought about it, and said, "The child still has to have a big name, so let's call Zheng Sen!" Leafy, haha! After naming the child, Zheng Yiguan laughed!

It seemed that Zheng Yiguan's laughter frightened Zheng Sen, and the child suddenly cried, feeling a little hoarse. Zheng Yiguan was not in a hurry, but laughed and said, "My son, just have strength!" ”
