"At first, it was a tailwind, and it took us fifteen days to get to the sea off North Korea. (The first time the text was published was in the reading cabinet biquge.info)" Yang Jie and the others stood respectfully in front of Zheng Kezhang and reported. "The resistance of the Koreans was very weak, and the ministers conquered one county, two county seats, and four villages, and only eleven of them were wounded, one of whom ate the lead of the fire and died on the way back, and the rest were only flesh wounds, and they were well nourished. However, when it came back, the wind was headwind, and the boat went very slowly, for nearly fifty days, and finally even the fresh water was almost drunk, and if it were not for the Ryukyu battalion's sailors who could bring some fish up every day, there would definitely not be enough food. ”

With this simple word, Zheng Kezang could imagine the hardships of the whole journey, so he nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, with this ordeal, you will definitely be the backbone of this clan in the future." ”

Yang Jie and the others were overjoyed, and at this time Zheng Kezhang asked: "Let's talk about North Korea, how is their official and military combat strength?" ”

"The forbidden military ministers of North Korea have never encountered them, and the remaining defenders defending the city are completely vulnerable, and even run away as soon as they hear the sound of firecrackers." Wu Ziming replied. "However, there was some resistance from a few large families in the city, and most of the casualties occurred in this situation. As for the sailors of the DPRK, because the ministers and others were all night raids, even if they came to search during the day, the ministers had already hidden, so they did not see it and did not know the truth. ”

"That's right!" Zheng Kezhang was a little disappointed, so he asked instead. "Did these women have any accidents on board?"

"If you return to the grandson, the ministers have explained to the below, if anyone can't hold back, they will all be driven out of the Boy Scouts when they come back, so the military discipline is still good." This time, Xue An will answer. "It's just that these North Korean women and children are in a weak state, and they died a lot on the way back, and almost caused an epidemic.

"Shisun," Gu Xiaoshan in the Yimao period also reported. "The minister thinks that now this domain not only lacks women and children but also lacks slave labor, rather than fighting every time to distinguish between men and women, it is better to roll in one brain, I believe that there is a family on the road, and the accidental death will be reduced a lot, and it will not be too late to separate in Dongning."

"Actually, we don't have to stare at North Korea and use our brains, Shisun, the minister thinks that the defense of Japan's coastal areas is not as good as North Korea." Wu Ziming's words made Zheng Kezang's eyes light up, yes, at the end of the seventeenth century and the beginning of the eighteenth century, the coastal defense of the three countries in Northeast Asia was in a quiet environment for a long time, and each country was not stronger than whose fleet was worse than whose navy. "And the minister has heard people from Beihe and Quang Nam say that the sailors over there are also very poor."

Zheng Kezhang waved his hand and motioned for them to stop: "You don't have to worry about this matter, go back and rest for two days first, and then return to the camp." ”

A few people were about to retreat, but Zheng Kezhang called them again: "I almost forgot, come, this [A Hunting Medal for a North], Yu will bring it for you, and the rest will be issued by the Deputy Town Commander for Yu after returning to the camp."

Yang Jie and the others retreated, but Zheng Kezhang fell into deep thought, Wu Ziming actually said well, but how to do it needs to be weighed one or two, after all, even if Japan does not reply to Ming Zheng's national messenger, Ming Zheng can't turn his face with the other party for the time being, so it can only be

"Call Zheng Yingping." Zheng Kezhang commanded, and in about a quarter of an hour, the chubby police officer ran in. "Zheng Qing, how many of Dongning's households are now single?"

Zheng Yingping was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Zheng Kezhang meant, so he thought about it and gave a huge number: "Shisun, there are now as many as 14,000 households in Taiwan that have a single independent household but no wife, of which 7,608 households have been added this year, all of which are released by the Haiqing Army. ”

At the end of the previous year, the Ministry of Household Affairs made a statistic that the total number of households in Taiwan was only 111,376, and even if the new 7,608 households and the private slaves and maids emancipated by the Feng family after raiding their homes, the total number of households was less than 120,000, and one tenth of them were singles.

"It's a drop in the bucket." Zheng Kezhang sighed, and then commanded like Zheng Yingping, who was confused. "The fleet brought back more than 160 women from North Korea, you can arrange it, as much as possible, you can give priority to the old people of the domain, but remember that officials at all levels must not be intercepted, if you let Yu know which bastard guy has a wife at home, and still fight the idea of these Korean women, Zheng Qing, don't blame Yu for not interceding with you."

Zheng Yingping responded with a bitter face, Zheng Kezhang stood up and walked two steps in the house: "Zheng Qing, you will prepare a report to the political affairs hall, just say that it is your meaning, all the unmarried people under the age of sixteen, their fathers and brothers, and widows under the age of thirty must also remarry." ”

"You can't be a grandchild." Zheng Yingping Khan has come down. "There is no problem with the unmarried father and brother at the age of sixteen, but the widow under the age of thirty must also remarry, which is against the principles of human ethics.

"Today is different from the past," Zheng Kezhang interrupted Zheng Yingping. "During the Zhengde period, the country was still stable, but now? The method of farming and warfare is the most important population, with more than 400,000 people in Dongning District against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, some of which are discredited. Speaking of this, Zheng Kezang's eyes looked at Zheng Yingping. It's just that Zheng Qing is going to carry the black pot for Yu. ”

The fat on Zheng Yingping's body shook, and he looked at Zheng Kezhang with a sad face: "Shisun, you can pity the poor nineteenth uncle."

"Uncle Nineteen, this is the Zheng family's country, how can you expect others if you Zheng clan relatives don't carry the burden for Yu." As soon as Zheng Kezhang said this, how else could Zheng Yingping respond, so he had to eat Coptis dumbly, and at this time, he heard Zheng Kezhang ask again. "Uncle Min Qing, how many of them are still stable these days, right?"

If Zheng Yingping was still a little slanderous just now, when he heard Zheng Kezhang mention Zheng Zhi and others who were circled, his heartbeat immediately accelerated, he didn't know if this was Zheng Kezang's hint, so he had to pull out a smiling face bluntly: "Min Qingbo, Yongtaibo, and Zhao Anbo are all very honest these days, it is said that those who read books and worship the Buddha all say that they want to change their past wrongs." ”

"Don't scold Yu for being a sinister seed? Don't say that you are deceived by Feng Xifan? Zheng Kezhang said coldly, every time he said a word, Zheng Yingping's heart beat wildly. Don't bite anyone else? It's really grown. Isn't it a superficial article? "How can Zheng Yingping answer this, but fortunately, Zheng Kezhang doesn't want him to answer." Guotai died, and a few of them probably didn't go to pay their respects, right? ”

Zheng Yingping's heart moved, could it be that Zheng Kezhang decided to let Zheng Zhi and them go, so he hurriedly responded: "Yes!" ”

"It's also very aggrieved to always look at the same piece of heaven, forget it, since there is a form of repentance, let them go to worship in front of the national Tailing for a few months." Zheng Kezang's decision seems generous, but Zheng Yingping is very disappointed by it, so it is just a release from prison and not an amnesty. "By the way, tell them that the opportunity was earned by themselves, remember to be light and simple, if you are still wanton." Zheng Kezhang sneered. "It's good to be confined to a small world for the rest of your life"

Beginning in July of the 36th year of the Yongli calendar, the two towns of the Boy Scouts and the two standards of Luan Yiwei went to sea separately, went south and north, and plundered on a large scale in the southwestern coast of Korea, Japan's western Kyushu and western Honshu bordering the Sea of Japan, and Bac Ha (i.e., Annam Zhengzhu) and other places. By November, there had been 17 sorties at the battalion level, and although there was some resistance, each time there was no danger due to the long-standing peace of each country, the restrictions of domestic policy (one country, one city, and the concentration of samurai in castle towns), or because of their own lack of force.

In the seventeen sorties, a total of more than 2,100 people were plundered, half of whom were men and half of the men and half of the women, in addition to farm tools, cloth and linen, and a portion of grain. During this period, although the Beihe side was helpless against the Qing army that crossed the border, the relationship between the two old enemies of Japan and North Korea began to suddenly become tense.

In view of the sudden Korean invasion and the lobbying of the domestic wealthy merchant group, the fifth shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi finally sent the elder Abe Masatake to Nagasaki under the persuasion of Yanagisawa Yoshimei, but Abe Masatake did not allow Cai Hanxiang to go to Edo to meet the general and enter Kyoto to pay homage to the emperor.

"The general has been unwell recently, so I ask for your forgiveness." Abe was addressed by the head of Cai Hanxiang's Ministry of Labor. "As for meeting with the emperor, since the establishment of the shogunate, the emperor has entrusted the government with the generals, and has never received foreign envoys." Cai Hanxiang had no illusions about whether he could meet the shogun and the emperor, so he was not disappointed that he was politely refused, but the shogunate also rejected several other issues he was concerned about. "I would like to ask Cai Gongbu to return to His Majesty the Emperor of your country and to summon His Royal Highness the Great General, Japan can accept your country's request to set up a merchant house in Nagasaki and send officials to preside over it, but there is no precedent for your country's request for loans and troops, so I will not be able to agree."

"Didn't Baekje borrow money and troops from your country back then? How can Abe-sama say that there is no precedent? ”

"This?" Abe Masatake was stunned by Cai Hanxiang's words, he didn't expect that the envoy in front of him knew so much about the history of Japan. "This is a matter of hundreds of years, time has changed, it is better not to mention the old yellow calendar." Speaking of which, Abe came up with another excuse. "The shogun of the previous dynasty made a decree to close the country, and those who went to sea were not allowed to return to the country, so the shogunate did not dare to violate the precedent, and this should be called the ancestral system."

"What about borrowing? This is not mentioned in your country's lockdown decree. ”

"The shogunate is not financially resourceful, and it has no spare resources to support the great cause of your country's restoration." Masatake Abe refused again. "But," he said abruptly. "If the feudal clan can guarantee a long-term supply of raw silk at a reasonable price, Japanese merchants will be happy to borrow from the feudal clan."

Cai Hanxiang asked rhetorically: "What is a reasonable price?" ”

"This needs to be negotiated between the feudal clan and the merchants."

"Understood." Cai Hanxiang nodded. "With Abe-sama pulling the strings, I think there will definitely be a reasonable result."

"Don't dare, don't dare"
