Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

The clear water, blue sky, and calm sea surface are covered with waves, and a fleet of dozens of ships is galloping on the sea.

"Second Master, what do you think is going on?"

Gan Hui stood with a knife in his hand, facing the sea breeze, and said to Zheng Zhihu beside him: "Our commander, guarding the southern border for the imperial court conscientiously, guarding important places such as Liuqiu Town, and guarding against the maritime forces of European countries, threatening the southern border of the Ming Dynasty. .

Not to mention the military achievements made in the past.

In recent years, even if there is no credit, then there is hard work, right?

Why did the court turn a blind eye?

What is even more infuriating is that in places such as the big and small Ryukyu, the imperial court said that it would move the vassal, and a lot of land was enclosed, and it was to be used as the vassal land of the suzerain. "

"Are you complaining to Ben?"

Zheng Zhihu glanced at Gan Hui, frowned, and said, "It's His Majesty's will to move the feudal domain to Ryukyu and other places, what? Do you want to disobey the will?"

"There will be none in the end."

Gan Hui said anxiously: "The last general is to complain for the commander in chief. If we really want to talk about it, it's not too much to talk about the meritorious service of the commander in chief, not to mention anything else.

Could a good birth represent everything?

This is not said by the last general alone, many brothers below have said the same way, why some suzerains can occupy as much land as they want? "

"enough!"

Zheng Zhihu scolded: "I don't want to hear about it anymore, some things are not what you think.

How do you know that His Majesty has never thought about this matter?
Can it be done by opening your mouth to confer the title of Duke?

As far as the current situation in the country is concerned, don't you see it?His Majesty wanted to accomplish something, but a large number of courtiers opposed and questioned it. "

Gan Hui was silent.

I have been guarding Ryukyu Town for a long time. Although it is far away from the capital, I can still learn about some things through some channels.

"Let me tell you something."

Zheng Zhihu thought for a while, looked at Gan Hui and said, "The matter that you are dissatisfied with, in fact, His Majesty issued a secret decree to Eldest Brother earlier, which involved the matter of conferring the title of Duke."

"Ok?"

Gan Hui looked at Zheng Zhihu in astonishment.

"Your Majesty has thought of this matter a long time ago."

Zheng Zhihu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said quietly: "It's just that there are some things, you can't do whatever you want, you have to have a record that can be achieved.

Why in the past two years, Ryukyu Town and the Hanmeng have controlled the route to and from Wa Island, and reached a secret cooperation with some people in Wa Island?

Use your brain to think about it.

Isn't it the direction His Majesty pointed out?
As long as the stability of Ryukyu Town can be ensured, the Han League's influence in Nanyang can be expanded, and its influence in Wajima can be expanded, then His Majesty will be able to issue an imperial edict arbitrarily at the right time. "

"There is such a thing?"

Gan Hui couldn't believe it, he didn't know what Zheng Zhihu said before.

"There are so many things you don't know."

Zheng Zhihu narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at Gan Hui, "Your Majesty's heart is much bigger than what you think, a duke of a country is nothing.

If it is in Liuqiu Town, whoever can make corresponding military exploits may not be able to confer the Duke of the country.

Think about the gold and silver that you have distributed in the Han League over the years. If you did not have His Majesty's permission, would you have distributed so much?

Don't feel wronged, think about it, if His Majesty hadn't supported me behind the scenes, with the big brother's temper, do you think you can be the commander-in-chief of Liuqiu Town? "

Gan Hui was silent.

indeed.

Ever since they followed Zheng Zhilong and went to guard Ryukyu Town, no matter their situation, status, or wealth, compared to before, it has been much, much better.

In the past, even if they hid it, they had to be cautious in everything, especially when they were targeted by some civil servants, they could bear it as much as they could.

"General, Yue Qingzhang, Counselor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, wants to see you." A soldier came forward with a knife in his hand, and saluted Zheng Zhihu with fists.

"Walk."

Zheng Zhihu stretched out his hand.

Standing on the deck, Gan Hui looked at Zheng Zhihu's back with a complicated expression. In the past few months, the frequency of their trips to and from Wa Island has been much higher than in the past.

Especially the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which has never been to Liuqiu Town in the past, but it began to appear frequently a few months ago, and Yue Qingzhang, the Counselor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is even resident in Liuqiu Town.

What is behind this?
In fact, it is not only Gan Hui who has doubts about things like this, but many generals under Zheng Zhilong's command also have such doubts.

"The last general, Zheng Zhihu, pays homage to Counselor Yue."

In the dark cabin, Zheng Zhihu walked into the cabin, and saluted Yue Qingzhang with his hands clasped.

"General Zheng is polite."

Yue Qingzhang got up to greet him, with a smile on his face, he raised his hand to Zheng Zhihu in return.

"Counselor Yue, I don't know why you are looking for the last general?"

Zheng Zhihu looked at Yue Qingzhang and asked.

"Sit, sit."

Yue Qingzhang said with a smile: "It's nothing serious, I just want to ask General Zheng, whether the blood left by Zheng Shuai in Wa Island wants to take charge of the Tianchuan family?"

Ok?
Zheng Zhihu froze for a moment, then looked at Yue Qingzhang in astonishment.

He didn't know what Yue Qingzhang's words meant.

"Some things, I can't say too much."

Yue Qingzhang said calmly: "Let's just talk about the Japanese Rebellion, which has had a profound impact on my Ming Dynasty. Even at present, there are many elites stationed in the coastal areas of the Jiangnan provinces.

Wajima is a mess.

Therefore, part of the reason why the Ministry of Internal Affairs recently stationed in Liuqiu Town is to go deep into Wa Island, but General Zheng also knows that Wa Island is too far away from my Ming Dynasty.

In many cases, it is not easy to effectively influence Wajima.

If Zheng Shuai intends to support the remaining blood and take charge of the Tianchuan family, it is not impossible for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help. Even if it is part of the land, it is normal. "

Is this what the Son of Heaven meant?

The Son of Heaven wants to increase penetration into Wa Island through the Zheng family?
Zheng Zhihu's thoughts were a little confused.

Zheng Zhihu was very clear about the nature of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The words like Yue Qingzhang's were not ordered by the emperor, so he would definitely not dare to say anything.

"General Zheng, you can think about this matter first."

Yue Qingzhang said with a smile: "It will take a few days before our fleet arrives in Nagasaki, if you think it over, if you have any ideas, you can come and talk to me.

Of course, this matter is what I mean. General Zheng should not think too much about it. If it is too difficult, then there is no need to think about other things. "

"Here!"

Zheng Zhihu responded with cupped fists.

The more Yue Qingzhang said this, the more Zheng Zhihu thought about it. If the Zheng family can really control the Tagawa family through the Tagawa Shichizaemon and get the support of the emperor, then what they can do in Wajima in the future will be There are too many.
