PS: I finally reissued a chapter in the middle of the night and switched to normal mode!

On the night of the ninth day of the ninth month of the ninth month of the twelfth year of Shunzhi, while the "Imperial Conference" of the Forbidden City of Beijing was delayed, a small-scale "family meeting" was also going on in Tong'an, Zhangzhou, Fujian, more than 4,000 miles away.

"Can father, mother, and son ......?"

Zheng Shisen (Zheng Chenggong), who was dressed as the king of the Qing court, was full of depression, and the table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas in front of him was almost untouched, and even his favorite Japanese sake did not drink a sip, and he got up and saluted.

"Sen'er, how many times have I said it, today is a family banquet, what is the father's son's, it sounds awkward! Besides, aren't you, like your father, the prince of the Qing Dynasty? ”

Zheng Zhilong pretended to be displeased, but he held the precious crystal goblet steadily with his thumb, index finger and middle finger, shook the blood-red wine in the glass in a decent manner, and asked under his nose, only then did he interrupt the words of his son, who was also at the level of "Prince Heshuo [1]", and gently "reprimanded".

"Yes, my son knows his mistake. It's just that the father, the mother, and the son want to go to the back garden to give the biological mother...... Weng's sacrifice is a farewell. ”

Zheng Shisen was his father's third wife, but Yan's wife, who was the eldest wife of the main room, said a little restrainedly. Zheng Zhilong had a wife and two concubines at this time, namely Yan, Huang and Chen, all of whom returned to Fujian from Beijing. If you follow the order, it should be the concubine Chen who was accepted when she was in Macau, the Tian Chuan family when she lived in Japan, the Yan family who was married to Ming Media when she befriended Yan Siqi, and the concubine Huang who was accepted when she returned to Fujian as the chief soldier. But Zheng Zhilong's four women are now sorted by status. But it became such a "sequence".

His deceased wife, that is, Zheng Chenggong's biological mother, Tagawa Matsuko, or "Weng", can only be ranked in Zuihou because she is a Japanese Japanese. And Zheng Chenggong, who is the king of Haicheng, can only call his mother Yan "mother" according to the number of etiquette at this time, and call his biological mother can only be "biological mother Weng".

"Master, Sen'er is filial, let her go and worship my hard-working sister!" Yan, the wife of the knowledgeable Dali, saw Zheng Sen lonely. Hurriedly helped to say good things. And the sincerity was so sincere that a few tears fell. As a result, the Huang family and the Chen family at the dinner table also hurriedly followed. They all know that the three women here are Zheng Zhilong's wives and concubines in distress, but when it comes to true feelings. I'm afraid that I might not be as good as the Tagawa clan who "fell in love" with her husband and gave birth to her eldest son.

"Hmm. Sen'er. Your biological mother Weng's life is hard, and your father can't stand her. You can pray for me......" With the secondment of his wife and concubine, Zheng Zhilong was happy to take advantage of the situation.

"The son thanked the father!" Zheng Shisen took a deep look. I got up and prepared to go to the backyard.

"Sen'er, wait a minute!"

Yan hurriedly got up and called the eldest son. She was together, and Zheng Shizhong, the imperial guard who had just returned to Fujian from Beijing to visit her family, also hurriedly got up.

"Sen'er, my mother just worshiped your mother and my good sister yesterday. I can't leave your father to sit here alone today, so you can toast me to the bar...... Du'er, you also accompany your eldest brother to incense your aunt. ”

Yan said, picked up a glass of water and wine, and handed it to Zheng Sen.

"The son thanked his mother!" Zheng Shisen was respectful, and only after giving a salute did he take the wine glass and drank it all. Looking at the gentle interaction between the mother and son, and the second son Zheng Du on the side, with a dignified expression, the meaning of Yanran's family and everything is prosperous, Zheng Zhilong was very satisfied, but he corrected with his feet:

"What Du'er, call him Shizhong! Du'er's name has been played in the imperial court and changed to Zheng Shizhong, don't you know? ”

"Oh, I missed it, don't blame me!" Yan hurriedly turned around and took it as an admitting mistake.

"That's it, mother, my father is right." On the side, Yan's biological son, Zheng Shizhong, who was originally called "Zheng Du", hurriedly echoed his father and also gave Lao Tzu a fist salute.

"Well, you all go and accompany your eldest brother to worship, although the Weng family is a side room, they are loyal to my Zheng family!"

Zheng Zhilong ordered the other two sons beside him, Zheng Shien and Zheng Shixian, and looked at his eldest son Zheng Shisen with deep meaning, and finally put down the goblet in his hand.

"Father! Sen'er thanked her father and mother for her biological mother! Zheng Shisen really knelt down and kowtowed, with tears in his eyes.

Zheng Chenggong has deep and sad feelings for his mother.

Zheng Chenggong's biological mother, Tagawa Matsuko, and her biological father [Zheng Chenggong's own grandfather] is the daughter of Tagawa Nanazaemon of Hizen Province[2], Hizen Province, Japan. After the death of her biological father, her mother took Matsuko to remarry Weng Yihuang, a Chinese blacksmith on the Uchiura Street in the Hirado River,[3] and became Weng's stepdaughter.

At that time, Zheng Zhilong came to Japan empty-handed and settled in a foreign country, and when he was in poverty, he was fortunate to meet the Tagawa clan as a turning point. Tagawa was a helpful and discerning Japanese woman, she saw that the embarrassed Zheng Zhilong was a promising young man, and finally promised that in the third year of the Ming Dynasty (1623), Tagawa and Zheng Zhilong were married. At that time, in our country, "the people of Fujian, Vietnam, and Sanwu lived on Gan Wa Island, and they did not know thousands of families. married to the widow, the eldest grandson, and the name was 'Tang City'". However, among the "thousands of families" of Chinese and Japanese marriages, none of them can have as much influence as the union between Zheng Zhilong and Tagawa.

After marriage, Tagawa loved her husband, and her father treated Zheng Zhilong like a son. Zheng Zhilong ended his down-and-out career and became the starting point of his career. After his marriage, Zheng Zhilong moved from Nagasaki to Hirado and bought two houses, one for his wife and children to live in, and the other for Mazu. On July 14 of the following year (1624), Tagawa Matsuko gave birth to a boy next to a large stone on the shore of the Chisato Rima in Hanochiura, Hirado, and named Fumatsu, who was later Zheng Chenggong. But from the day Zheng Chenggong was born on the full moon, Zheng Zhilong, Yan Siqi and others fled Japan and went to Taiwan. Zheng Zhilong, who continued to engage in maritime trade, often led a fleet to visit Japan because his wife and children stayed in Japan.

During this period, Zheng Chenggong was raised by his mother. Tagawa was both a good mother and a mentor, and in order to successfully train his son to be a man who could write and martial arts, let him know Chinese characters, read Chinese books, and sent him to the samurai Hanafang family to learn the "double sword method".

The long wait has finally come to an end. In September of the first year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong accepted the Ming Dynasty's appeasement. Because of his meritorious service in pacifying pirates and resisting the Dutch invaders, he was promoted to the general army of Fujian. In the third year of Chongzhen (1630), the seven-year-old Zheng Chenggong returned to China by ship with his uncle Zhiyu, who went to greet him, but the Tagawa clan was prevented from staying in Japan by the Tokugawa shogunate on the grounds that "Japanese women do not enter the Central Plains". After Zheng Chenggong returned to China, he lived in Anping Town. He did not miss his mother for a day, until the autumn of 1645, when Zheng Zhilong sent another letter asking Tagawa to come to China to reunite with his family. Tagawa was very happy and prepared to set off, but was hindered by the Japanese side, and after Tagawa's arguments, he finally made the trip and came to Anping Town, Quanzhou Prefecture, to reunite with his husband and son.

Then. Zhu Yujian, the king of the Tang Dynasty, went into exile in Fuzhou, that is, the emperor. The Tang Dynasty made a contribution to the establishment of the Longwu regime supported by Zheng Zhilong, and was crowned the Duke of Pingguo, and Tian Chuan was the wife of the first product, and the people of the time honored her as Mrs. Weng. 1646 (August of the second year of Longwu in the Southern Ming Dynasty). The Qing Dynasty Dorobellebolo led an army into Fujian. November 30th. Qinggu Mountain Han Dai drove troops to Anping, and the soldiers burned and looted; Tagawa was humiliated and martyred at the age of forty-five.

Zheng Chenggong saw that his biological mother died. The country was ruined, and he angrily rallied the people to raise troops and swore to fight at sea. Zheng Chenggong has a deep affection for his mother Tagawa, and once cast a statue of his mother with gold, and made a bed with agarwood and a curtain with five-color jewelry, which was cherished and worshipped. This golden statue was later robbed and burned by the Qing army, and Zheng Chenggong hated the Qing Dynasty even more.

Fortunately, Hongyi, who came through the crossing, secretly instructed Fulin, dragged out the cadres who raped Tianchuan Songzi back then to pay off the debt, and re-shaped her golden body, and also referred to the practice of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Jin Feng Tianchuan Songzi as "Mrs. Yipintai [4]", so that he was able to find the only way to appease Zheng Chenggong!

"Sen'er, now that my Zheng family is full of people, and the seven fathers and sons are in official positions, it can be described as a family health and a glory, you can comfort Songzi's soul in the sky."

Zheng Zhilong was full of pride, and added a little smugly.

"Yes!"

Zheng Shisen got up at this time and was about to lead his three younger brothers away, but he was stunned for a moment, and then said leisurely:

"Father, this morning, my son also climbed to the north to look north, but inadvertently blurted out a poem."

"Oh? Sen'er is full of poetry and books, which is not as good as a father. I don't know which sentence it is, let's hear it? Zheng Zhilong really didn't want to sweep his son's Yaxing.

"Father, it's 'Brother Yaozhi ascends to the heights, and there is one less person in the dogwood'."

"Haha, for the Father knows, how can you not know such a famous saying? It is Wang Wei's "Memories of Shandong ...... on September 9th" in the Tang Dynasty, "Zheng Zhilong was just about to show off his knowledge, but he suddenly remembered something, and he was naturally on the spot!"

"Father, sons are gone!"

Zheng Shisen didn't say anything more, and led the three thoughtful brothers to turn away.

"Grandpa, Sen'er is talking about ......"

Yan, who understood what he meant, whispered.

"Say no more! What do women know! Drink! Zheng Zhilong was really displeased this time, glared at his wife Yan fiercely, and no longer cared about any Western etiquette, grabbed the goblet and drank only one-third of the shallow red wine.

"Wine is not addictive, come to liquor!" King Tong'an shouted in a low voice with a look of indignation.

"Yes, sir!" Chen on the side hurriedly responded.

Zheng Shisen, who was walking quickly at the door, naturally heard his father's words, and did not stop at all, but muttered something to himself.

Zheng Shizhong, who was closest to him, clearly heard his eldest brother say "bitter wine brewed by himself"!

Alas, brothers who are far away and have never met...... Zheng Shisen couldn't help but feel stunned.

"A limerick poem. Look at the first word of each sentence》

Looking at recent history, I am disappointed

I was saying that there was an opportunity back then

Outside the map, it has been sharpened

It's hard to know what you're going to do

I got up and wore Rokkazi

Point out the world's pain and joy

China's brilliant ten thousand idiots

The Wenwu Dynasty was the only Qing Dynasty

[1] In the early Qing Dynasty, the three kings with different surnames were all princes, and theoretically had the same rank as other princes of Heshuo. This article fabricates the King of Tong'an and the King of Haicheng, and it is also implemented by reference.

[2] "Feudal Warrior" was the name given to samurai who were subordinate to each feudal clan in the Edo period of Japan. However, although they are all called feudal lords, they are also divided into sergeants, corporals, and so on. Also, strictly speaking, there are people who do not have a "shige" in addition to the samurai and those who do not have a "shige" in between, so it is not correct to simply say that "feudal warriors = samurai". In other words, a feudal lord actually refers to all people who have a feudal name. However, there are many cases where a feudal priest is used to refer to a person who has a "shige". At the beginning of the Edo period, it was more common to refer to soldiers who served in the military; By the mid-to-late Edo period, it was more likely to refer to officials. Incidentally, in the Edo period, feudal lords did not refer to themselves as "feudal lords". For example, when a feudal lord of the Satsuma clan reported his name, he would not say, "(I am) a feudal lord of the Satsuma domain," but "(I am) a retainer of the Shimazu clan." It should be noted that in the case of a feudal domain named after a country like the Satsuma Domain and the Choshu Domain, the feudal clan could be used universally; However, for feudal domains that are not named after a country, such as the Kuwana Domain, it is not appropriate to use the feudal clan as a general reference.

[3] Weng Yihuang (1582–1645) was Zheng Zhilong's father-in-law and Zheng Chenggong's maternal grandfather. A native of Quanzhou, Fujian, he was a blacksmith who moved to Hirado Island, Kyushu, Japan (today part of Nagasaki Prefecture), and lived in Kawauchiura, where the Chinese gathered. Emperor Weng Yi married the widow of the Tagawa family and adopted the daughter of his wife and ex-husband, whose name is said to be "Song". This "pine" girl was known as Tagawa or On.

[4] In September 1650, Zheng Chenggong set up an altar in Xiamen and asked Wan Nianying, the military department of the Longwu Dynasty, to read out the edict of the Yongli Emperor, "to pay tribute to the Tai Lady". This Mrs. is Zheng Chenggong's mother, and she was named "Mrs. Yipin". (To be continued......)
