Chapter 749
Zheng Sen lowered his voice specifically when speaking, after all, this matter is too important.

Silver Mine!After refining, it is all money, and the cost of mining in Japan is extremely low. As long as it is fed, most Japanese men work hard.

The news came from his younger brother Tagawa Shichizaemon. Although Zaemon and Zheng Sen had the same father and mother, he was adopted by Zheng Zhilong to the Tagawa family and has been in charge of the Zheng family's business in Japan.

"Is Tagawa Shichizaemon and the Zheng family on the same mind? How strong is the Tagawa family in Japan?" Liu Hongjian asked after thinking about it.

Liu Hongjian, who has a large silver mine in Japan, has known for a long time that the reason why he has not dug it is that he has been busy with other things in the past two years and has no time at all.

Japan has always been in Liu Hongjian's plan, this small country that later generations have humiliated the Chinese people, this is the number one white-eyed wolf in East Asia that will never be cooked, if it is not destroyed, Liu Hongjian is really puzzled hate.

Although he knew that Zheng Sen had a brother in Japan, after all, this brother had been staying in Japan. Liu Hongjian had to figure out what kind of person this Zaemon was.

Few people in later generations know that Zheng Sen is actually of Chinese and Japanese mixed blood. Like Zaemon, his mother is Tagawa, that is, Japanese.

But Zheng Sen is different from Zuoemon. When he was a few years old, he was brought back to his hometown of Quanzhou by Lao Zheng. He learned Ming language and read books of sages. He even hired Shui Tailiang as his teacher.

That is a complete master of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, but Zaemon...

Liu Hongjian needed a Japanese speaker, but he needed a Chinese speaker more.

Hearing the name, Liu Hongjian probably knew that the Tianchuan family must have a good relationship with the Tokugawa shogunate. The Japanese name is very strange, but if you look deeper, there is a connection.

For example, Zaemon and Uemon, in fact, are for the Japanese emperor to watch the gate, but in Japan this is a relatively honorable name, after all, only the most loyal samurai have this honor.

It’s just that the Emperor of Japan has always existed like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty for more than 1000 years, and the Emperor is just a decoration in the eyes of the daimyo and the shogunate.

"Saemon always wanted to come to Ming Dynasty, but his father didn't agree, he didn't like Japan.

As for the Tianchuan family, since my father was expelled from Daming, they have been trying to find a way to take away the family property from my brother, and my mother cried a lot because of this. Zheng Sen sighed and said truthfully.

Tian Chuan's family is now in Daming's fleet. Since learning of Zheng Zhilong's death, half of this stubborn Japanese woman's hair has turned gray within a month.

"Well... Does Zaemon have soldiers in his hand?" Liu Hongjian thought for a while, and chose to trust Zheng Sen's judgment.

"The Tokugawa family does not allow businessmen to hire samurai, but they turn a blind eye to ordinary Japanese people, and the Tokugawa family will not interfere as long as it is not too extreme.

The Tagawa family had a bodyguard of 800 men, but less than 200 of them served my brother Zaemon. "Zheng Sen knew that his brother was coordinating Japan, so he said everything.

"That's not enough. You can trust Zaemon and ask him to secretly train people. This king can provide them with the most sophisticated firearms. After he has made meritorious service, this king will give him a half-job in the imperial court, and let him return home in good clothes. "Liu Hongjian laughed.

It's ridiculous to say that Japan just ended the legendary Warring States Period decades ago.

The so-called Warring States Period was actually a long-term war between several big households who refused to accept each other in order to grab territory.

When the war was at its most intense, there were dozens of factions fighting in the melee, but Japan was only a little bigger. The so-called daimyo had thousands of people under their command, and a thousand people with low strength could be considered a faction.

This is basically for fun in Ming Dynasty. In Daming, if the number of participants in a war does not reach [-], the history books will be ashamed to call it a big war.

The reason why Zaemon was allowed to cultivate power was naturally to prepare for the official landing of Ming Dynasty in the near future.

The people who dispatched a large number of Daming were too conspicuous in the past, but they were not as stable as those cultivated by Zaemon in the local area. Anyway, those guys didn't care who they worked for.

"But the Dutch have now infiltrated the Tokugawa family, and they want to monopolize the business in Japan."

"It's a good idea. The Beiyang navy may not be able to control the Nanyang now, but in the Daming sea area, the Dutch can't tolerate their presumptuousness!" Liu Hongjian said contemptuously.

The reason for negotiating peace with the Spanish and Portuguese is to concentrate on dealing with the Dutch. With Taiwan stuck in their throats, the Dutch themselves have to weigh it, not to mention that the Beiyang Navy is not vegetarian.

Seven days later, the Ming fleet finally arrived in Taiwan. Qin Gongming, who was still stationed in Taiwan, was dumbfounded when he saw it.

I haven't seen it for more than two months. The Beiyang Navy, which is composed of more than [-] warships, has more than [-] ships when it comes back.

So much so that the port built by the Dutch couldn't hold it at all, and encountered the worst traffic jam in Taiwan's history, oh, it was a ship jam.

Nearly [-] Han people landed in Taiwan, and Qin Gongming was busy with the resettlement issue. The farmers needed to divide the land and explain something to the local Gaoshan people, otherwise there might be big troubles.

That night, Liu Hongjian hosted a banquet for the backbone of the Zheng family and Qin Gongming and others at Owat's former residence. Before Zheng Sen was conferred by the imperial court, Qin Gongming was still the acting governor of Taiwan, and the wine hall was full of young people. , It didn't take long for them to exchange cups and get acquainted.

"Bo'an, how is the county school doing?" Liu Hongjian put down his chopsticks and asked casually, Qin Gongming's name was Bo'an.

When Liu Hongjian left Taiwan two months ago, he specifically asked Qin Gongming to open a county school while consolidating the defense.

In addition to providing a channel for local Han children to ascend, Liu Hung-chien asked Taiwan’s county schools to open to the Gaoshan people. Since they belong to the same country, it is natural that the books and words should be the same.

Liu Hongjian did not ask the Gaoshan people to change their ethnic customs, nor did he require them to speak Ming language, but at least they had to be able to communicate.

"Oh, my lord, I negotiated with a local scholar and chose the address of the county school in Chixian City. There is a Dutch church in the city. I changed the inside and it can be used directly.

Then there is the Gaoshan tribe, and guess what? Qin Gongming showed a rare sweet smile, and even cheated on Liu Hongjian.

"What's the matter? Could it be that a Gaoshan student was not recruited? No way!" Liu Hongjian frowned and said without being annoyed.

"How could it be! The county school now has six professors, two of whom are scholars hired from Fujian. According to your request, the other four are all craftsmen.

There are 67 students in total, half of them are Gaoshan people! "Qin Gongming said proudly.

At the beginning, the Gaoshan people were very repulsed by the county school, but Qin Gongming just brought one of the craftsmen to the Taroko tribe, and asked him to demonstrate on the spot how to make fire more efficiently, how to store and forge better weapons, etc. .

Just imagine, even the Gaoshan people are not interested in Zhihu, but these things that can obviously enhance the strength of the tribe are still very necessary.

What's more, Qin Gongming's banner is that children from the Gaoshan nationality come to the county school to study, free of charge, and take care of food and lodging!

"Well, Bo'an did a good job. This is a breakthrough. Three years later, I will see the Han people in Taiwan and the Gaoshan people become a monolith!" Liu Hongjian said affirmatively.

When the children of the Han people become classmates and friends with the children of the Gaoshan nationality, Taiwan is the real Taiwan.

Know it with affection, benefit it with benefit, no one is a fool, Qin Gongming has done a good job in this matter.

After staying in Taiwan for another two days, after everything was settled, Liu Hongjian rushed to the mainland with the Beiyang Navy, accompanied by Zheng Sen and several major generals of the Zheng family.

After all, the Zheng family was not well received by the imperial court. If they wanted to persuade Xiao Zhu and the courtiers to let Zheng Sen be the governor of Taiwan and the admiral of the Nanyang Navy, Zheng Sen must go there in person.

Naturally, Zheng Sen didn't have any objections. He had absolute trust in his elder brother, and he also offered to ask all the backbones of the Zheng family to have a face-to-face consecration together, which showed his heart to serve the country.

The wind from Taiwan to Quanzhou was smooth again, but the fleet arrived in Quanzhou in two days, but as soon as it landed, Liu Hong gradually felt that the style of painting was a bit wrong.

 Thanks to book friends Drunken for the light to look at the axe, and the eagle of the People's Liberation Army for the reward of 100 taels.
