Chapter 390: Wang Hongyu showed him the way
At this critical moment, Yan Siqi first got Daming to shoot in Macau, and together with the Portuguese, he beat the Dutch bandits.
The key here is that Cai Fuyi, the governor of Guangdong and whose home is in Kinmen, sent his relatives and confidants to meet him.
The two sides were a little vigilant at first, but when it came to the battle of Macao, the Chinese blood flowing together boiled.
"I, Yan Siqi, just have a breath, and I also hope that Huaxia will rise up and beat these clowns of the Netherlands and the Tokugawa shogunate to the ground."
"The Governor was actually entrusted to contact Mr. Yan."
"Who's trusting it?"
"The Marquis of the Ming Dynasty and the Admiral of the Five Provinces, Wang Hongyu."
"Ah! It's him! I have a question?"
"Excuse me?"
"Tolkien! Is Tolkien the Marquis of Dingyuan!?" Yan Siqi was a little excited, and casually took out "The Lord of the Rings: I", which had already been turned over a hundred times
"Ugh...... Yes." Cai Fuyi's relatives made full preparations before leaving.
"Oops! It was Tolkien who wanted to contact me! I'm a fan of Mr. Tolkien! I've been reading your adventures for the past year, and The Lord of the Rings is inspiring me!"
Yan Siqi cried with joy, Wang Hongyu wrote "The Lord of the Rings: Part I" under the pseudonym Tolkien, which was actually published less than 2 years ago.
Yan Siqi has a lot of business at sea, and has an intelligence network at home and abroad, so he bought this legend for the first time and was immediately hooked.
He also investigated Tolkien, and the Portuguese praised Tolkien as the Marquis of Dingyuan, believing him to be a friend of Rome and a young hero comparable to the size of Mount Yabuli.
Cai Fuyi's relatives and other envoys also introduced the war of the Ming Dynasty, as well as Wang Hongyu's establishment of the Southwest United School and his visit to Macao and Guangdong to build warships.
Yan Siqi and Zheng Zhilong were deeply shocked and very excited.
They do business abroad, steal food from foreigners and pirates, and know best what it means for the motherland to be strong.
The Ming Dynasty has risen...... They had a feeling of excitement in their hearts, and now it was time to contribute to Daming and even Huaxia.
But they are businessmen, and they also know how to weigh interests, so they don't say that they will do it for nothing.
The envoy smiled and said, "Marquis Dingyuan and Governor Cai have already said that they should prepare first, there is an opportunity to play in the Wa country, and the treasure island also needs their help, and they will act when they see the opportunity but are not in a hurry, and someone will contact them."
Several special channels of communication were agreed, and the messenger left.
It was a dream to meet them this time.
Then the storm changed.
The shogun changed, and Tokugawa Iemitsu took a radical attitude, accepting the advice of the Netherlands and Gojin, and directly captured the southern part of Goryeo, and ignored the warnings of the Ming Dynasty.
His subordinates were a little uncontrollable, and they were guarded against by the Wakoku Shogunate, so they simply wanted to directly overthrow the Shogunate and stand on their own.
But Yan Siqi and Zheng Zhilong were able to hold on and persuaded their subordinates: "Everyone wait a little longer, now that Tokugawa is on guard, it is not the right time for me to wait for the curtain to fall.
But if the Tokugawa shogunate dared to deal with the Great Bright Weapon, it was simply looking for death. Even the mighty Toyotomi Hideyoshi can't defeat the elite of the Ming army's nine-sided southern army, and Tokugawa's broken fish and shrimp can only be plugged between his teeth."
"What do you mean?"
"When the Ming Dynasty violently beats Tokugawa and the prestige of the shogunate plummets, we will wait for another incident to happen!"
Of course, everyone listened to Yan Siqi and Zheng Zhilong's words.
People who are on the sea are all in the same boat, and they have long learned to unify their opinions and unite in order not to let the ship sink.
This group of people is well versed in this, and they have the ability and righteousness, and it is also an important reason for their rapid rise to surpass the Japanese who went to sea first and catch up with the Dutch.
Everyone couldn't resist the impulse to act, although the Tokugawa shogunate had a plan to kill him, but they were also afraid that Yan Siqi and Zheng Zhilong would be invincible at sea, so they threw a rat trap.
This was followed by the Battle of Penghu, which was very close and lasted for several months.
The Ming army of the Penghu naval battle was brave and wise, stabilized Penghu with a weak victory, and first built a town and a port on the treasure island.
Yan Siqi knew that Da Ming had really woken up, and even the most arrogant Dutch people on the sea had been defeated by Da Ming twice.
A month later, Han Jun, the governor of Zhilu, sent a fleet of ships, which were "robbed" by Yan Siqi and Zheng Zhilong's pirate ships, and robbed Wang Hongyu's secret letter.
Yan Siqi and Zheng Zhilong opened it excitedly and saw Wang Hongyu's handwritten letter.
"Five ships of cargo are reward gifts, and the days when Da Ming has not given you support are over."
After reading the first sentence, both of them were surprised.
Daming, this is a change of sky?!
And the language of Dingyuan Marquis is not like that of civil officials, and there are no such people.
The two continued to read.
"The Wa Kingdom cooperated with the Netherlands to dare to attack my Daming, it's really good to forget the scar and forget the pain.
Not to mention that the shogunate is far less powerful than Toyotomi Hideyoshi, let's just say that all the export commodities of this Japanese country must pass under the nose of the Great Ming. At that time, trade was blocked, and the strong people in various places would hate the shogunate to death, and there were many people on the island who were inclined to the Ming and Rome. The shogunate will fall!"
Yan Siqi and Zheng Zhilong agree very much.
Most of their team members are Chinese, and many of the Japanese ronins who have been incorporated are inclined to the side of the Ming Dynasty, Toyotomi and the Holy See in Europe. I really don't have much affection for the shogunate and the Netherlands, which turned away from the Holy See.
Wang Hongyu said that the shogunate would inevitably collapse, and it suddenly came to their hearts.
"The Netherlands instigated the Japanese kingdom to start a war against our Ming Dynasty, really for a little profit, picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon.
It thinks that the Japanese country can make money for its goods and provide troops to drive away Portugal and pry open the Ming market, but it doesn't want to think that the West is relying on the specialties of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will not sell to the Netherlands, but will monopolize Portugal and Aceban duck, and the enemy is our friend."
In fact, Yan Siqi and Zheng Zhilong knew that they were good at sea, but they couldn't beat the Dutch galleons at all.
However, if the Ming Dynasty cooperates with the Portuguese Alliance and the Ace Duck, then the Netherlands will not even be enough to plug the gaps, it will be a heretic and a handful in Europe, and the Ming Dynasty will target it, and the Dutch national fortune will end here, leaving only England to be a dog's leg.
"We still have to wait for the curtain to fall, no more than three years at the latest. This matter should be led by the king of the sea, and let Shimazu and Mori follow you and the Chinese, not the other way around.
In addition, in order to win the trust of the Tokugawa shogunate, you can first propose an invasion of the treasure island for the Wakoku and give them a plan of action. But don't worry, no matter how many people come to him, in the end, he will not come back, and put an end to the heart of peeping into the treasure island."
Yes!
That's true!
The suggestion to the Tokugawa shogunate to "invade" the treasure island is actually a set, and the Japanese sailors meet the Ming Dynasty is the level of death.
Offering a plan would win the trust of the shogunate, and it would also greatly weaken the power of the Tokugawa family, making it much easier to overthrow it in the future.
The two suddenly brightened, and when they saw Wang Hongyu's letter, it was like a bonfire that found the way in the fog.
