Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 796 Named Zheng Lin
Zaemon was reading at the mansion at this time, and frowned after being informed by his servants, and put the "Book of Rites" in his hand on the table.

The recent situation of the Tagawa family is very bad. Cao Sanxi from Ming Dynasty joined forces with the Dutch to suppress his business, and the attitude of the shogunate officials who have always been close to the Tagawa family is also very strange.

This further fueled the arrogance of the Cao family. Yesterday Cao Ji’an, the son of the Cao family, even led someone to burn down one of his shops and broke the legs of the shop workers. Not only did the local officials ignore them, they even let the Dutch in His shop is provocative.

As the Tokugawa shogunate locked the country and the news was delayed, Zaemon learned that his father Zheng Zhilong was killed by the Dutch two months ago, and his brother Zheng Sen was also besieged by the Dutch.

The successive disasters made Tagawa Qizaemon, who was just 23 years old, very preoccupied.

A few months ago, Zheng Sen wrote to him, asking him to take orders from the Prince of Anguo in Daming, and asking him to trust the prince as if he trusted his brother. Zuoemon had never seen any Prince of Anguo, but he knew that Zheng Sen would not joke with him.

Just now, the servants reported that the person who came was from the Xishan Shanghe of the Ming Dynasty. The main foreign trade partner of the Tianchuan family was the Xishan Shanghe. Since the Tokugawa shogunate had issued an order to lock the country, he had to use the Xishan Shanghe to turn around the Nanyang trade.

As Japan lacks resources, the best thing they can sell is Japanese swords. However, the business of war swords has been difficult recently. Daming now likes to use firearms, and Xishan Shanghe can only resell war swords to other countries, and the profits in the process are natural. narrower and narrower.

Alas, I don't know how the eldest brother is doing in Nanyang?

Zaemon sighed and decided to meet his biggest business partner.

Liu Hongjian was also very interested in Xiao Zheng's younger brother. The style of Zaemon's house was similar to that of Daming's courtyard. As soon as he entered the outer courtyard, he saw a young man in a loose kimono approaching. Liu Hongjian looked at him and frowned. It wrinkled up.

"You are Zaemon?" Liu Hongjian looked him up and down.

He had heard Wu Guanshi say that Zaemon could speak Ming language, so he said it bluntly.

Not only is Zaemon dressed in a kimono, but his hairstyle is also that of Japanese people. The front half of his forehead is pulled apart except for the hair on the temples, and the Mediterranean hairstyle is all the way to the top of his head, with only a small braid tied at the back of his head.

This made Liu Hongjian very awkward, and said to himself that it was fortunate that there was no such a beard in the world, otherwise it would be really disappointing.

But even so, Liu Hongjian murmured in his heart, is such a guy who was born and raised in Dongying really trustworthy?
"I'm just, I didn't know Mr. Liu was here, so I'm sorry if I miss you!" Zuoweimen bowed his hands to Liu Hongjian, saying neither humble nor overbearing.

Xishan Merchant Co., Ltd. is the most important trading partner of the Tagawa family. After Dongying locked the country, it was only allowed to trade with designated fleets at designated ports, and the trading partners could only be Daming or the Netherlands.

The Dutch killed his father and besieged his elder brother. Zaemon naturally hated him to the bone, so Nishiyama Shoko was the most important economic lifeline for him and the Tagawa family.

Zaemon's Ming language was very standard, which surprised Liu Hongjian. After exchanging a few words, several people entered the living room.

The four personal guards including Niu Dabangchui and Chang Yu followed Liu Hongjian every step of the way. Zuoweimen looked back, as if he knew the Ming people's way of doing things, and didn't say anything.

"Here, I don't have any serious business, I just come to Dongpu to see if there are any other business opportunities when I am bored.

Oh, by the way, I heard that the Dutch are very arrogant recently, and they even killed your guy. Is this true or false? Liu Hongjian knew what Zaemon was thinking and said casually.

"It doesn't matter if I don't mention it, I just wish I could go to Nanyang and share with my elder brother." Zaemon sighed.

"Speaking of your elder brother, I still know something about him!" Liu Hongjian glanced at Zuo Weimen and said.

"Oh? Mr. Liu, please tell me, how is my elder brother doing now? Has he ever escaped from trouble?" Zuo Weimen stood up with a bang, with an extraordinarily dignified expression.

"Let me ask you, what would you do if your eldest brother also died in Nanyang?" Liu Hongjian didn't tell him directly, but stared closely at Zaemon.

"Then I'll destroy my family and save my life, and swear that I will never die with the Dutch!" Zaemon said angrily without the slightest hesitation.

"Okay! Your elder brother saw you right." Liu Hongjian naturally saw the determination in Zaemon's eyes, and said very satisfied.

"So...my elder brother is alright?" Zuoemon was also in a tizzy just now, and only after he calmed down did he hear what Liu Hongjian was implying.

Since it was an if, then his eldest brother should have been out of trouble.

"Hahaha, your eldest brother is not only fine, he was rescued by this king, and now he is the admiral of Nan'an Bo and Nanyang Navy of Ming Dynasty." Liu Hongjian laughed.

"You are... the King of Anguo County? Zuoemon has met the King of Anguo County!" After all, Zuoemon was in charge of the Zheng family's business in Dongying, and he immediately understood who the person in front of him was.

In addition to being astonished in my heart, I admire the prince who my elder brother appointed to make him trust even more.

Now that the Dutch are powerful, I heard from the Dutch merchants in Dongpu that their country's fleet has blocked the Daming sea area. It is a testament to the courage of the prince to come to Dongpu in such a situation.

"Get up quickly, your elder brother has a lot of friendship with me, so you don't need to be so extravagant, and tell me about the situation here!" Liu Hongjian raised his right hand falsely and said to Zuo Weimen.

After receiving Liu Hongjian's order a few months ago, Zaemon began to cultivate his own power, not only secretly recruiting hundreds of down-and-out samurai, but also separated the core business from the Tagawa family.

However, the Dutch bribed the officials of the shogunate with their powerful fleet and strong financial resources, and the Cao family acted as the dog's leg of the Dutch. If things go on like this, the Zheng family's industry in Dongying will not last long.

"It doesn't matter, this king is here to meet Cao Sanxi for a while, and see how this traitor is traitorous!" Liu Hongjian said meaningfully.

Liu Hongjian has always been worried about this fish that slipped through the net. When he and Uncle Chongzhen were in Liaodong, he shouldn't have let this guy go. It's all because he was too kind.

"Zaoemon respectfully obeys the order of the prince!" Zuoemon immediately knelt down on the ground and said in allegiance.

He naturally knew that his elder brother's escape from trouble and being reused by the Ming court was inseparable from the help of the prince in front of him, and he knew that the prince and his elder brother were sworn brothers, although he didn't understand why Liu Hongjian didn't make this relationship clear , but Zaemon didn't ask too much.

This is easy to handle, the elder brother has received the favor of the prince and received the order of the prince, so he naturally knows who to listen to.

"Well, get up quickly, your hairstyle needs to be changed, it's really ugly." Liu Hongjian glanced at Zaemon's forehead, and gave the first order.

Zaemon rubbed his forehead and was a little confused, all Dongying people were like this, and he was no exception.

"Are you from Daming? Or from Dongying?"

"My elder brother fought for Ming Dynasty, so Zaemon is naturally from Ming Dynasty."

"That's it. Since you are from Daming, and your parents are responsible for your body, hair and skin, your hairstyle and clothing should naturally follow Daming's style. I thought you were born bald!" Liu Hongjian teased.

"But if this is the case, the people in the shogunate will naturally be suspicious!" Zaemon said worriedly. The reason why the shogunate refused to let him go back to Daming was because of this concern.

"The shogunate? What is the shogunate? Just change it!
Oh, by the way, since you have the blood of the Han family flowing through your body, you should naturally have a Han name.

Your elder brother's name is Zheng Sen, and this king will give you a name, Zheng Lin! "
