Wang Qi?

Zheng Zhilong was stunned for a moment, and then his face became very exciting.

The dignified Duke of Qi, the famous Zhenliaohou, the hundred households who crushed the ferocious like killing pigs and sheep, stood in front of him?

No wonder even the guards around him are so powerful!

"See you little."

Zheng Zhilong was just about to bow down, but Wang Qi had already supported him: "When you go out, you and I are both tourists, you don't have to be like this, if you have time, have a drink together?" ”

"Don't dare to disobey!" Zheng Zhilong nodded excitedly.

To be supported and recognized by the Duke of Qi is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes!

And when the captain and merchants on the side saw the fierce guards beside Wang Qi, they quickly dispelled the idea of coming forward to thank them - ordinary bigwigs sometimes don't want to be disturbed, even if they are grateful, it is redundant.

Not long after, in a clean and tidy guest room on the deck, Wang Qi and Zheng Zhilong sat opposite each other.

"An official is going to Shandong, but there is something important?" Wang Qi had three or two teacups in front of him, and a faint fragrance of tea rose.

The first official is Zheng Zhilong's nickname, which is considered a close title.

"Go to Dengzhou Mansion in Shandong, take a boat to the Japanese island, and do one thing for my family's shopkeeper Li Dan," Zheng Zhilong was a little restrained at this time, sitting opposite Wang Qi, and bowed first when talking, and then spoke softly.

"Li Dan?" Wang Qike heard that the head of the pirates was Li Dan.

"That pirate is just bluffing, my shopkeeper doesn't do such a lowly thing, killing people and selling goods is a small profit, and he can't do it," Zheng Zhilong smiled, obviously looking down on those pirates: "The real source of wealth comes from maritime trade, Japan, the Ming Dynasty, South Asia, and even the Xiyi countries, my shopkeeper has a way, this time I went to Japan, but also to visit the Matsuura clan and open up a trade route between the sea and Japan." ”

"The Japanese shogunate," Wang Qi showed a trace of doubt between his eyebrows: "Nowadays, which one is in power in Japan?" ”

"Back to your lordship," Zheng Zhilong traveled before Japan and the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and obviously knew a lot about the local area of Japan: "In the forty-third year of our dynasty, Tokugawa Ieyasu defeated the Toyotomi family in the Battle of Osaka and established the Edo shogunate, which can basically be said to have ended the internal strife and war between the various daimyo and unified Japan. ”

"So, at the moment, apart from the emperor, the Tokugawa family has supreme power in Japan! However, if it is just a matter of doing business and making friends with the local daimyo and princes, the Matsuura clan of the Hirado Domain. ”

"Liaodong Hetuala, my Liaodong Army has also had contact with the Japanese army," fiddling with the teacup in his hand, Wang Qi had a smile on his face: "Tokugawa Shogunate? I'd love to visit! ”

"If the adults are interested, I can recommend them!" Zheng Zhilong knew that this was a great opportunity to cling to the Duke of Qi!

If you want to truly become a hegemon-level figure in the territory of the Daming Sea, then there must be a supernatural figure in the DPRK.

And apart from Qi Guogong, is there anyone else who has this qualification and right to speak?

Although Zheng Zhilong has been running around at sea recently, he has also heard about the recent events in Xuzhou Mansion and Nanjing City, in fact, in Zheng Zhilong's opinion, such a trivial matter is impossible to make Qi Guogong hurt his muscles and bones.

Even if the imperial court wants to suppress the Duke of Qi, then the worst and worst result is only to let the Duke of Qi go out of Beijing and take up a post in Liaodong? Shanxi? Shandong? There are many places far away from the court, the world is big, and there are many places where the Duke of Qi can go.

If you are the Duke of Shandong Province, it will be much more comfortable than being in the court!

As for the rumors in the rivers and lakes: Qi Guogong was going to be arrested for treason, and the emperor was angry and wanted to kill him quickly, and so on, all of which were just small rumors in the temple.

Anyone who knew about the past exploits and power of the Duke of Qi would not think that the imperial court would dare to issue an order to arrest Wang Qi. Unless Zhu Youxiao doesn't want to sit on his throne.

Therefore, when the time comes, the Duke of Qi will admit his mistake a little, and the emperor will nod his head - punish himself with three cups, and everyone will be happy.

Who would dare to say a word?

How dare he do it?

A mere Nanjing military department, that's it!

At this moment, sitting in front of Wang Qi, Zheng Zhilong tried his best to calm his nervous mentality: "If the adults are interested in opening up business in Japan, the small ones are willing to follow the work of dogs and horses, and the shopkeepers of my family must also be happy. ”

"This matter is not in a hurry, when you come back from Japan, you can come to Shandong to find me, and you can also call your shopkeeper at that time, everything is detailed, and it is not too late to talk about it, as for now," Wang Qi picked up the teacup: "Drink this tea together and enjoy some leisure time." ”

"To your lordship!" Zheng Zhilong picked up the teacup and stood up respectfully.

Wang Qi and Zheng Zhilong chatted for about two hours, and when it was dark, Zheng Zhilong left respectfully.

At this time, the sea ship was already less than 200 miles away from Lingshanwei, and it would arrive tomorrow morning.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, with the sound of seabirds chirping and gusts of sea breeze, Wang Qi was already fully dressed.

With a creak, he pushed open the wooden door of the cabin, and stood on the deck, and the harbor of Lingshanwei not far away was clearly visible—tall masts connected to the sky, seabirds flying, waves gusting, and the noise of people seemed to blow to his ears with the sea breeze.

"My lord, in half an hour, the ship will be docked," Wang Shouxin came to Wang Qi's side at some point and said in a low voice.

"Well, get ready," Wang Qi nodded.

Before boarding the ship, Wang Qi had already sent someone to inform the magistrate of Zhucheng County, Shandong of his whereabouts.

Presumably, by now, the Jinan Mansion and the imperial court have also learned the news of their arrival in Zhucheng, Shandong.

beheaded a few people in Xuzhou Mansion, and then returned to his hometown in Shandong, Wang Qi was upright and upright, and had no intention of hiding at all.

Conspiracy?

As long as these two words don't come out of Wang Qi's mouth, anyone in the world says it, it's slander!

Don't believe me?

You ask the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Liaodong to believe it or not?

You ask Zhu Youxiao, who is sitting in the Qianqing Palace, if he believes it?

Do you believe it or not?

As long as Wang Qi is south of Shanhaiguan, then no one dares to do anything to him.

In a short time, the ship had slowly approached the shore, and with the ladder on the deck, the merchants who wanted to go down were already in place.

Lingshanwei Harbor, what kind of formation is this?

Hundreds of guards armed with steel guns were in the column, and more than 100 officers and honor guards were in the middle, surrounding a sedan chair with a black top pattern.

The whole harbor was silent, except for the sound of the wind, the waves were silent, and even the seabirds had already left.

"Shandong Governor Yu Yicheng is ordered to wait for the Duke of Qi here! Qi Guogong returned to his hometown this time, and all matters should be handled by Jinan Mansion for adults! ”

Yu Yicheng, the governor of Shandong, knelt on the ground and greeted Wang Qi, who was not far away, standing on the deck, without moving at all.

Not far away, Zheng Zhilong, who was still on the deck, looked at this scene, and was already fascinated: this kind of power can only be possessed by Qi Guogong!
