Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 542
As soon as Zheng Zhibao heard it, he knew that there was a play to be performed.So, he immediately went out to greet her.

If it was different from normal times, as the No. [-] person in the shogunate, he would definitely not wait at the door, even if he came to Zheng's mansion, he would come in directly.Now he is waiting at the door, nothing more than asking to come to Zheng's house for something.

Sure enough, when Zheng Zhibao arrived at the door, Matsudaira Nobuzuna showed great respect for the Zheng family, and entered the Zheng residence happily. Then, while chatting, he suddenly changed the subject and said to Zheng Zhibao: "I heard that an official served in the Ming Dynasty. It's not easy to be an official, why don't you just come to our country? Your Excellency has long admired an official's name, as long as an official serves our country, he will sweep the couch to welcome him!"

"Ah..." Zheng Zhibao pretended to be very surprised, and quickly expressed gratitude, "My eldest brother must be very grateful for being valued by the general. But I guess my eldest brother may not come to the Wa Kingdom, after all, my Zheng family's foundation is in the Ming Kingdom Dongnan. Please tell the general about this, I will definitely tell it, but..."

Zheng Zhilong is a well-rounded man, and he does maritime business. For the Japanese side, even if the country is closed to the outside world, his Zheng family is fine. It can be seen that he also has business affairs with the Tokugawa shogunate on weekdays, and has won the favor of the shogunate.But for Zheng Zhilong's reaction, the Tokugawa shogunate also had estimates, and Zheng Zhibao's answer was within their expectation.

Therefore, although Zheng Zhibao didn't finish his sentence, Nobuzuna Matsudaira knew what he wanted to say, so he laughed and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's okay, I understand, I understand. Actually, I'm quite puzzled , an official roams the sea, and the Ming Dynasty is completely powerless, so why should an official seek refuge in the Ming Dynasty court and be controlled and punished? "

With Zheng Zhilong's current sea power, including Xiyi, they dare not provoke Zheng Zhilong at all, and they have to listen to Zheng Zhilong in order to mix in the southeast coast of Daming.Such a huge power, if the officials of the explanation country are not clear, the Wa country as an island country is very clear.

Hearing this question from Matsudaira Nobuzuna, Zheng Zhibao sighed and said: "Who says no, my brother is also helpless! If you can build a good relationship with the imperial court, you will naturally earn a lot more. Otherwise, the imperial court will make troubles." , Although my Zheng family is not afraid, it will affect the business to some extent."

Speaking of this, he laughed at himself, and said to Matsudaira Nobutsuna: "Who will have trouble with money, don't you think so?"

Hearing this, Matsudaira Nobutsuna laughed.What kind of person is Zheng Yiguan?Zheng Zhibao's answer was within their expectations.

Therefore, Matsudaira Nobuzuna smiled and said to Zheng Zhibao: "Since the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has no way, why not turn against an official? Even if the business is temporarily affected, the general can promise to make up for this part. In the future, the business of my country , it’s all handled by your Zheng family, how about it?”

"Well..." Zheng Zhibao pretended to be a little surprised when he heard this, "It's not that my Zheng family has never done anything against the imperial court. However, this matter is very important to my Zheng family after all. The general's kindness, my Zheng family is very grateful." I am grateful, but this matter is of great importance, and I dare not make the decision!"

After hearing this, Matsudaira Nobutsuna nodded repeatedly, and suddenly his face became solemn, and he said to Zheng Zhibao: "I believe you have also heard some rumors. I will talk about this matter. The general is bound to win North Korea, and he will win it within the year. The general will send troops. But the Denglai navy of the Ming Dynasty is all under the same officer. If we meet on the battlefield later, this is what the general is not willing to do..."

Having said that, he paused, looked at Zheng Zhibao's face, found no surprise, and then continued: "I believe that an official knows about the maritime strength of our country. If an official continues to serve the Ming court I dare not say anything else, but the Zheng family's fleet is not enough to rely on the warships currently in Liaodong. Even if the warships are transferred from the southeast, they will definitely suffer heavy losses. If the Zheng family's warships Great loss of strength..."

Matsudaira Nobuzuna paused on purpose, seeing that Zheng Zhibao's expression finally changed, he felt complacent in his heart, and then continued: "Maybe the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will question an official and take the opportunity to take away your Zheng family's foundation. An official It may not be a happy ending!"

Hearing this, there was a "snap", and Zheng Zhibao clapped the table, almost startling Matsudaira Nobuzuna, and saw Zheng Zhibao shouted out of righteous indignation: "No, right now, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty thinks that Jianlu has no navy. My eldest brother is not very useful, so I just found an excuse to dismiss my eldest brother. If you really go to North Korea and start a war with my Zheng family, my Zheng family’s warships in the north will definitely suffer. The dog emperor was furious. Next, maybe I will blame my eldest brother for the defeat. And to tell you the truth, the emperor of Ming Dynasty has been coveting my Zheng family for a long time. The Zheng family has been dissatisfied with the fact that Nanyang bought grain and gave it to the court for free!"

If the Zheng family's fleet confronts the Japanese navy, it's really hard to say whether they will win or lose. If they leave the southeast coast, they won't be able to win.After all, the Japanese navy is not comparable to the Jianlu or Korean navy. It is a real navy of one country, and it is far more important and stronger than the navy of the Ming Dynasty.Even Zheng Zhibao admitted this.

Seeing Zheng Zhibao so angry, Matsudaira Nobutsuna was overjoyed.The Zheng family is just a pirate, how much justice does the court have?Looking at it now, it really is not wrong to guess, the Zheng family has long been dissatisfied with the court, so there is room for negotiation!
Therefore, facing Zheng Zhibao's anger, Matsudaira Nobutsuna also accompanied the Ming Dynasty in verbal and written criticism and felt sorry for the Zheng family.Finally, the old saying was repeated, saying that the Japanese country was willing to give the Zheng family the most favorable treatment to make the Zheng family's business bigger.There is only one condition, which is to avoid a fight between the two powerful powers. The Zheng family should not listen to the Ming Dynasty court in North Korea. They can only show off and not fight.Otherwise, the Japanese warships would suffer losses, but the Zheng family's losses would inevitably be greater.

Hearing this, Zheng Zhibao immediately nodded and said: "How can my Zheng family fight against the Japanese country? Without the capital of crossing the sea, how can I gain a foothold in the future! I will immediately send someone to tell my elder brother about this, I believe my elder brother will definitely do it." Make the right choice. It's just...just..."

Hearing that he seemed to be in trouble, Matsudaira Nobuzuna knew that the Zheng family was still a little dissatisfied with the conditions that he should offer.So, he said again: "You tell an official, my general said that as long as the Zheng family stands idly by, all the business of our country will be handed over to your Zheng family to make up for the loss."

Speaking of this, his face became very solemn, and he said very seriously: "Of course, if your Zheng family rebelled against the Ming court, then from now on, our Wa Kingdom and the Jurchens will win the Ming Kingdom, and we are willing to separate Fujian and Guangdong. Give it to an official, so that an official can not only dominate the sea, but even be the emperor himself, how about it?"

After finishing speaking, he even showed Tokugawa Iemitsu's handwriting on the spot to show that there is absolutely no fake in this matter!

Zheng Zhibao was taken aback when he heard it. To be honest, the offer really surprised him.

With the sea power of the Zheng family, if it is based on the two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong, it will definitely dominate one side.Even if you don't have the heart to go north, there is absolutely no problem going south to Nanyang.

If it is said that Wa Kingdom made this condition 11 years before Chongzhen, and if Wa Kingdom and Jianlu would really join forces at that time, Zheng Zhibao believed that maybe they could really lure the Zheng family.

At that time, among other things, there were thieves everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, and there was no way to resist the invaders outside the country. If you join a Japanese country, can the Ming country not perish?Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Zheng family would definitely be very tempting if they could separate themselves from one side.

However, at this time, hehe...

Who was the Ming Emperor?As long as they are not blind, how many people would have the guts to rebel just for their impressive military exploits?
Besides, is the emperor treating the Zheng family well?

In the past, Wang Zhi in the Jiajing period was a good example of pirates like the Zheng family.Wang Zhi was willing to surrender and be recruited, but Daming still broke his promise and sent him to prison.

However, today's emperor does not discriminate against family background at all. Not only did his eldest brother become the unprecedented commander-in-chief of the Navy, but Zheng Sen's nephew was also named by the emperor and made to accompany him as a prince.If there is really any discrimination, it is absolutely impossible to become the prince's accompaniment.

What's more, the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty has great talents and great ambitions. It is the time when the navy is about to show its talents, and it will only destroy these things if it is crazy.

Besides, can you destroy it even if you want to?Not to mention the Zheng family's fleet in southern Fujian, at least Denglai Navy will definitely not just listen to the Zheng family's orders!

The most important thing is that the plan of you Japanese people has already been considered by the emperor.Even if I am dizzy, it is impossible to form an alliance with you!
However, even though Zheng Zhibao thought so in his heart, he really showed a look of shock on the surface, and then he couldn't believe it. He took Tokugawa Iemitsu's handwriting, read it carefully, and after confirming it again and again, he responded with an ecstatic expression. Matsudaira Nobutsuna said: "Will you go back on your word?"

"Amaterasu, I will never regret it!" Matsudaira Nobutsuna was also overjoyed when he saw it, and immediately swore seriously.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and then there was a loud laugh of embarrassment.

Afterwards, after some discussion, the two acted separately.

Nobuzuna Matsudaira's reply to Tokugawa Iemitsu was that the Zheng family wanted Fujian and Guangdong provinces, but the final decision must be made by Zheng Yiguan.But nine times out of ten, there is no problem.

Hearing this, Tokugawa Iemitsu couldn't help laughing, and we'll talk about the future.As long as the Zheng family fleet does not harass the troops going to North Korea in the early stage, the goal has been achieved.

Of course he didn't know that this was the pit that the Emperor of Ming had dug for him a long time ago, just waiting for him to jump into it!
