"Brother, what should be done with these people, kill them all, or reduce them to slaves, it's up to you to decide, and this right to dispose of them is handed over to you!"

Zheng Fusong said to his younger brother Tagawa Nanazaemon.

At this time, his priority is not to do his homework, but to help his younger brother vent his anger and make his younger brother feel satisfied, because the most important thing is to make amends for the victim.

"Brother, except for Sister Ayako, you should deal with the others, and you can punish them however you want."

Tagawa Nanaemon was followed by a fourteen or fifteen-year-old maid, her name was Nakae Ayako, her appearance was mediocre, but because of her kindness, she was deliberately released, and was asked by Tagawa Nanaemon to follow her, saying that she would repay her well in the future.

So the maid was safe, and probably caught a fortune.

As for the other servants who had bullied him, Tagawa Nanazaemon did not have the idea of retaliating against them and killing them all, but at this moment, these people were desperately kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, apologizing to him and admitting their mistakes, their heads were bloody, and they were as humble as a dog, which instead rushed to the idea of revenge, and felt that it was not interesting to kill them.

It's better to leave it to my brother to deal with.

The ball was back in Zheng Fusong's hands.

He looked at the hundreds of people kneeling on the ground.

looked at Nobutada Matsuura, who was kneeling at the front.

Zheng Fusong flashed various thoughts in his mind, imagined more than a dozen sets of treatment plans, and finally thought about it, and said to Matsuura Nobuzhen: "This Hirado City, as well as the Hirado Domain, from now on, belongs to the land of Xujiazhuang, and the Matsuura family will be removed, in order to better manage and rule this Hirado City, Matsuura Nobusada, give a reason why I will not kill you people." ”

"I am willing to act as a puppet to assist Xu Jiazhuang in governing Hirado, and in addition to the Matsuura family, there are 48 large and small branches, and the family has been destroyed, and these branches will jointly send troops to expel Xujiazhuang in order to compete for the qualifications of the family!" Nobusada, Matsuura.

"Hehe, will Xu Jiajun be afraid of dozens of small villages joining forces?" Zheng Fusong couldn't help but sneer.

"The Xu family army is invincible in the world, and the Matsuura clan is by no means an opponent when the forces of the Matsuura clan are combined, but there are still two hundred and seventy feudal states in Japan, they will not sit idly by and watch the Hirado Domain be destroyed, and the Tokugawa shogunate will not ignore it, and will definitely issue an edict to mobilize the whole country, organize hundreds of thousands of troops, and expel the forces of Xu Jiazhuang, even if the Xu family army can deal with it at that time, it will be a big trouble after all, on the contrary, if I leave Matsuura Nobusada and inherit the position of the governor of the Matsuura clan, not only can I suppress the division, but the shogunate will also be difficult to fight, This has more benefits than disadvantages for Xujiazhuang. ”

"But Matsuura's family has been hit hard, and your brother has also died at our hands, will you be a puppet with peace of mind, and you won't think about revenge?"

"Brother, he is so dizzy that he doesn't listen to my advice, it is fate to cause this great disaster today, it is a great disaster for himself, I have repeatedly persuaded him to no avail, how can I avenge him?"

"How can you be sure that you will be a good puppet and be as loyal as a dog? How do you make people believe your words? Zheng Fusong asked.

"I've been to Bakang on Jeju Island a few times on a merchant ship and have seen the changes in Bakang with my own eyes."

Matsuura Xinzhen said: "Join Xujiazhuang, Baili and no harm, I can't ask for it, I am willing to be a puppet, I am willing to fully cooperate with Xujiazhuang, just to get rich, I dare not touch the higher power, I will be able to do a loyal dog, if you still don't believe it, you can kill Xinzhen." ”

Hear this.

Zheng Fusong pondered for a moment.

If you kill all these hundreds of people in order to export your evil anger, it will be cool, but there will be no gain in terms of interests, and you will face the challenges of many divisions of the Matsuura clan, and even face the hundreds of thousands of troops organized by the shogunate, if you want to establish a stable rule and bring benefits as soon as possible, I am afraid it will be quite an unfavorable situation.

Accepting the dog Matsuura Nobusada is indeed like what he said, it can bring a lot of benefits and avoid a lot of trouble.

"Matsuura Nobuzhen, your life is saved, you can select thirty people as assistance to run and serve for Xujiazhuang together."

Zheng Fusong thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "The rest will be sent to Nanyang to colonize and be used as coolies!" ”

He thought in his heart that this Matsuura Nobutada's use value is quite high, and he may also become a loyal dog, but!

If this person is useful, he will use it for a while longer to stabilize Hirado's rule.

If there is a different heart in the back, or when there is a certain threat, either kill it, or send it to the South Seas, to avoid developing into a hidden danger.

Ay!

I'm still soft-hearted.

His original plan was to kill the Matsuura family without leaving a chicken.

I don't know how many points the teacher will give him if he deals with it like this? Does this count as qualified?

But no matter what, for the sake of Xu Jiazhuang's interests, he can only deal with it like this, after all, there are many problems in this world, and killing people is not the best solution.

"Thank you for not killing!"

Nobutada Matsuura kowtowed again and again to thank him, and then selected thirty assistants.

The hundreds of those who were not selected begged for mercy and wailed, but they were forced to set foot in the South Seas and never return to Hirado.

……

Take control of the entire Hirado Castle.

The Marines, after sweeping up Hirado Island, wiped out all the resistance on the island.

The next period of time will be how to establish a solid rule.

And this is difficult for Zheng Fusong.

Because in addition to the puppet of Matsuura Nobusada in his hands, he can use.

Maternal grandfather Tagawa Yuhuang - formerly known as Weng Yuhuang, a native of Quanzhou, Fujian, a blacksmith, later moved to Hirado Island, Kyushu, Japan, and lived in Kawauchiura, where Han people gathered, still blacksmithing as a business, once cast knives for Matsuura Takanobu, the lord of the Hirado domain, and later under the introduction of Matsuura Takanobu, married the widow of his retainer Tagawa clan to envelop him, and adopted his wife and the daughter of his ex-husband Tagawa Matsu, that is, in fact, Tagawa Matsu is only the adopted daughter of Tagawa Yuhuang, and there is no blood relationship.

Even so, in Zheng Fusong's memory, this grandfather who made a living by striking iron was very, very good to his mother Tagawa Matsu and to himself, and to his younger brother Tagawa Nanazaemon can be described as spoiled.

But he is just a blacksmith with good skills, and a Han man with a lot of prestige in Kawauchiura, and he doesn't have much ability, and in the face of his grandson's captivity, he can't do anything except come to the door many times to beg for mercy.

Now that Xu Jiajun has made a move, his grandson has been rescued, and when he saw his grandson who had lost a lot of weight, Emperor Tagawa Yu shed old tears and scolded himself for being useless, and then he was disappointed and angry, he cast countless knives for the Matsuura family, but it turned out to be treated like this, this surname of Tagawa, he didn't want it! The retainer of the Matsuura family, he was inappropriate, and from then on, he used the surname Weng and never became someone else's dog again.

"Grandpa, don't strike iron anymore, you have all your strength, it's better to join the army, recruit a group of trustworthy people, and serve as the sheriff of Hirado City, and in the future, the security will be handed over to you, and whoever dares to cause chaos will be arrested." Zheng Fusong suggested.

"Okay, this sheriff, I'll do it!"

Weng Yuhuang nodded, he now understood that only by becoming a knife bearer could he defend his interests and protect his family.

As for manpower, there are many Han immigrants in the Kawauchiura area, and there is no problem in recruiting two or three hundred people, and in addition, there are many merchants from the Ming Dynasty in the port of Hirado, and if the funds are insufficient, looking for them can also solve the problem.

Someone has a knife and money, plus the elite marines of the Xu family's army of 1,000 people, are you afraid that someone will dare to disagree?

In fact, in the face of the powerful Xu family's army and the samurai of the Matsuura family, after the samurai of the Matsuura family were wiped out, no one dared to disagree with the tens of thousands of Japanese on Hirado Island.

The four steam warships, including the Tokufujin, have not been idle in the past few days, and have successively taken the islands of Uku, Ojiga, Nakodori, Wakamatsu, Naru, Fukuko, and Fukue in the south, attacked Matsuura County on the opposite side of Hirado Island, and captured a coastal area of about 150 square kilometers, thus including most of Hirado Bay, so as to facilitate the establishment of a large port in the future.

Of course, the above islands and lands all belong to the Songpu family or the division, some of them were taken by force, and some of them persuaded some of the divisions to join Xujiazhuang with the incorruptible tongue of Songpu Xinzhen, but they also encountered a few radical divisions and almost hacked him to death, and it was the Xu Jiajun Marine Corps who rescued him.

……

Until July 12.

Acquired a total of nearly 1,500 square kilometers of territory.

He also has a ruling team of hundreds of people around him, who can carry out various government decrees.

As the top manager, Zheng Fusong began to govern Hirado.

First, the "Tax Exemption Order" was promulgated, which exempted the agricultural tax, the poll tax, and the commercial tax to 5%, which won the hearts of countless people.

Later, it was announced that it would recruit at least 50,000 workers to build a new Hirado port with an annual cargo throughput of more than 100 million koku, and the investment was expected to exceed 3 million silver dollars!

Finally, there are some decrees, such as the Freedom Act, to guarantee the freedom of everyone; The Equality Act was introduced to establish Hirado as a place of equality; There is also the "Justice Decree", which expresses that it will defend justice, resolutely crack down on all illegal and criminal acts, and will never tolerate the wanton behavior of evildoers, and launched a month-long operation to "crack down on gangsters and eliminate evil", and in just a few days, 68 people including ronins, samurai, and human traffickers were shot and killed, which attracted countless applause.

In the "Oriental Times", he vigorously publicized that Hirado had entered a new era of "freedom, equality, and justice" and that earth-shaking changes had taken place, and the reporter also interviewed some local people, which was highly praised:

"The agricultural tax and the poll tax are exempted, and now the three children in the family can support them, and there is no need to think about selling their daughters."

"Why didn't you come earlier? My wife was killed by a wandering samurai on the pretext of trying a sword, and if you had come earlier, these samurai would not have dared to kill indiscriminately! ”

"I am now a worker in the construction of a new port, although I work very hard every day, but I can eat the equivalent of 30 rice balls per meal, and I can also get a salary of 90 wen a day, which is three times that of my previous part-time job, and I can buy four or five catties of rice."

"Xujiazhuang is too civilized and rich here, and I only now realized that I had been living in the dark before."

"Anyway, I don't want them to leave, they bring light and hope, even if they are outsiders, I want them to stay here."

"I have already asked my eldest son to start learning Mingyu, and I hope that my daughter will marry Ming in the future."

“……”

After a delay of about a week.

End of July.

The upper ruling class in Japan saw the contents of this issue of the Oriental Times.

On the same day, the Tokugawa shogunate issued the "General Military Order of the World"!

The feudal lords from all over the country responded and immediately dispatched elite troops.

It only took five days.

A huge army of 150,000 people entered the territory of Kyushu Island and rushed straight to Hirado in multiple ways, which was astonishing in terms of mobilization efficiency and response speed.
