Chapter 0457: Meeting Zheng Zhilong
Qian Qianyi said lightly, "It's a clan, Zheng Zheng and Zheng Zhilong are both students of Lao Chen, they both used to study under Lao Chen, Lao Chen knows very well, it would be better if there was Zheng Lao, but unfortunately the old man has passed away, and having Zheng Zheng can also increase his confidence in the court, didn't Lao Chen hear that the emperor promoted Zheng Zheng to the Middle Academy?" ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled again, and said in his heart that you were at home by Shuanggui, how long will it take to come out? I didn't ask others less! It's really an old fritter in officialdom, and nodded, "Accurate, let someone bring Zheng Zheng to Tianjin immediately, and you can let someone contact Zheng Zhilong in Tianjin Port today." ”
Qian Qianyi sighed, thanked the emperor and continued, "Your Majesty, it is best to bring Miss Zheng Jia, that girl is talented and intelligent, in fact, she is more eloquent than her father, and the old minister thinks that it will help if she is there." ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but sweat again, and said no, okay? But after thinking about it, we should still focus on national affairs, besides, they are relatives, and it is impossible to have anything to do with Zheng Yuelin, right? suppressed the idea of jealousy, and it was approved, when I met Zheng Zhilong, I summoned him alone, even if Zheng Zheng and Zheng Yuelin came to Tianjin, they didn't need to meet Zheng Zhilong with them.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen originally had a very bad impression of Qian Qianyi, mainly because this old man was very fritter, not only fritters, but also very disgusting.
But after this period of time, he returned to the Ming Dynasty to adapt, and Emperor Zhu Youzhen of Chongzhen also saw a little.
When Zheng Zhilong heard that the emperor had arrived at the port of Tianjin, he ignored the dissuasion of his cronies. only brought two relatives and four-year-old Zheng Chenggong. He personally came to greet the emperor.
Why take a four-year-old son. On the one hand, it is to let his son see the world, on the other hand, Zheng Zhilong is also afraid that the emperor will misunderstand his sincerity of submission, pirates are the same as ordinary green forest heroes, people are good to themselves, for fear that others will think that they are not good to others.
When Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen saw Zheng Zhilong coming with his son, he was immediately very happy, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is very understanding! Since Zheng Zhilong dared to bring his son. That's what it means to surrender completely to yourself!
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Zheng Zhilong took his entourage and his son to bow three times and bow nine times, and made a great gift to see the emperor, let alone the emperor, although he was a sea thief! Across the Chinese Sea Frontier, he has not seen many members of the imperial court, and he has seen the highest-level officials, but he is only Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, how can he not be excited when he sees the honor of the emperor.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen hurriedly helped Zheng Zhilong up personally, not just pretending to be enthusiastic. He also admires Zheng Zhilong's deeds very much, as a pirate. It is especially commendable to be able to have a sense of nationality, otherwise there were so many big pirates in the late Ming Dynasty, why did only Zheng Zhilong finally submit to the imperial court? If it weren't for the Shenwu of Emperor Kangxi later, maybe the Ming Dynasty would have survived in Taiwan for a hundred more years.
Zheng Chenggong tilted his head and looked at the emperor, and Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen also loved this little guy very much, "It's a pity that I am the son of heaven, otherwise I would have accepted Aiqing's son as a righteous son!" ”
The adults present and Zheng Zhilong were shocked, the emperor's words were Chrysostom Yuyan, this glory is a bit exaggerated.
Of course, Qian Qianyi knew that what the emperor said was the scene, and followed the emperor's words, "Since the emperor gave the Zheng family the surname, he is already very close to the emperor and the court, and the old ministers are already very envious." ”
After meeting the emperor, Zheng Zhilong also gave Qian Qianyi a teacher-student gift, and after not seeing each other for more than ten years, the appearance of the two of them has changed a lot.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen personally hugged Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Chenggong, who was more than four years old, seemed to be very assertive when he was a child, and he didn't like to be held by others, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, "What are you doing?" Aren't you happy that I'm holding you? In the future, maybe I'll let you be a colt? ”
Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed, and all the adults present were even more incomprehensible, I don't know why the emperor saw this Zheng Zhilong for the first time, so much?
"The emperor's grace, how can Zheng Zhilong take it?" Zheng Zhilong's eyes were red.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled and shook Zheng Zhilong's hand, "It's windy here, Qian Qianyi, let's make arrangements, let's go to Hong Kong to find a place to live, I have a lot of things to talk about with Zheng Zhilong." ”
Qian Qianyi heard that the emperor did not call the eunuch below, but called himself, and suddenly his heart burst into joy, feeling that he was a lot closer to the emperor, although the emperor has not sent him what is really lacking, but only restored his status, re-entered the middle school, and re-entered the cabinet, but the more this is the case, the more Qian Qianyi feels that he will be reused by the emperor again in the future.
The atmosphere of the group is harmonious, and when the emperor is happy, the mood of the people below will be very good!
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen personally entertained Zheng Zhilong, saying that it was for him to pick up the wind, and listened to Zheng Zhilong talk about the Ming Dynasty's maritime frontier and various forces.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was originally not very clear about the situation in the Ming Dynasty in the near future, even in modern times, he did not care about this history, when he was in the palace, he casually read some information, but it was not first-hand information, listening to Zheng Zhilong, it could not be more specific.
It turned out that Western colonizers came east one after another, seized colonies, and engaged in predatory trade, and the southeast sea in Asia became a "corridor" for Western colonizers to run rampant on the sea. Ryukyu, due to its geographical location, attracted the coveted of Western colonists, especially the Dutch.
Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen knew that the late Ming Dynasty was the period of primitive accumulation of capital in some European countries. In order to accumulate wealth, they carried out colonial policies, extended their claws to various parts of Asia and Africa, and carried out frenzied robbery and plunder. The first to invade Asia were Spain and Portugal, followed by the Netherlands and England. In the 36th year of the reign of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, the Portuguese colonialists seized Macao by fraudulent means and arrogantly claimed that Ryukyu was a territory of Macao, in an attempt to further invade Ryukyu.
In the fifth year of the reign of Emperor Muzong of the Ming Dynasty, Spain occupied the island of Luzon in the Philippines, and in the sixth year of the Emperor Gaozong of the Ming Dynasty, he set out from Luzon and invaded the chicken coop (now Keelung) in the northern part of the Ryukyus, built the chicken coop city, and invaded Tamsui to build the Tamsui city.
