The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 273 Cooperation
To be honest, Zheng Zhilong was actually very unwilling to cooperate with the Tokugawa shogunate.

Because the Tokugawa shogunate is a dog that eats people without spitting out bones, as long as they are targeted by them, the consequences will not be very good.

Just like Toyotomi Hideyoshi back then, he ended up in that situation, and all the forces were swallowed up by the old guy Tokugawa Ieyasu.

But now, what should we do if we don't cooperate with the Tokugawa shogunate?
Could it be that he has been supporting himself alone like this?
It's hard to support alone, Shandong has been taken by Sun Jie, will the day when he comes to the city be far behind?
"I think we can contact the Tokugawa shogunate first. Now that things are up to now, there is one more retreat and one more guarantee. Let's see what they say first, and test their details first. No matter what we do, it will be better than now Let's do this!" Zheng Zhilong's younger brother Zheng Zhihu said.

Zheng Zhibao also echoed: "Speaking of it, there is no deep hatred between us and the Tokugawa shogunate, but it is Sun Bandit who is aggressive and does not give an inch!
It is said that the gentry who fell into the hands of the sun thief were not very good, almost all of them would be smashed to the bone by him, and they would be completely wiped out!

We definitely don't need to be afraid of him on the sea, but if we are on land, the situation is not necessarily the same. "

Zheng Zhilong has been staring at the map on the table, his eyes never leave Shandong on the map.

After a long time, he slapped the map with a slap, "You are right, there is no deep hatred between us and the Tokugawa shogunate, it is not impossible to cooperate with them, even if there is an accident in the future, Don't worry about being so far apart.

Go and bring the envoys of the Tokugawa shogunate here, I want to meet them and listen to what the Tokugawa shogunate has to say! "

"it is good!"

Zheng Zhihu cupped his hands and left.

Not long after, he walked into the room with two warriors with Yue as their leader.

Zheng Zhilong sat on the chair in the middle of the room, looking at the respectful envoys standing in front of him.

Those envoys had faint smiles on their faces, they were not dissatisfied because Zheng Zhilong didn't summon them before.

When he came, Tokugawa Iemitsu explained the matter clearly to them. In order to reach a cooperation, no matter what Zheng Zhilong said, as long as it does not violate the principle, everything is up to him.

"The general summoned us today. It is really a blessing for our three lives. I don't know what the general called us today? If there is something that can help us, we will definitely go through fire and water, and we will not hesitate!"

The older emissary looked at Zheng Zhilong with a grin, and the smile on his face became brighter.

However, this smile is not pure at this time, there is a lot of arrogance.

The messenger who spoke was Sakai Ichiro, a loyal samurai under Tokugawa Iemitsu.

His status is not very high, but he is loyal to Tokugawa Iemitsu. Tokugawa Iemitsu will entrust him with many things. In order to reach a cooperation this time, Tokugawa Iemitsu sent him over.

Zheng Zhilong looked at them calmly, without causing any disturbance because of what they did.

"I see that you two are in a good mood. Aren't you two angry because I snubbed you before?" Zheng Zhilong said this deliberately, wanting to test their details.

Sakai Ichiro responded with a smile: "The General is one of the most powerful people in this world. I am just a small warrior. Naturally, I can't get into the eyes of the General. Naturally, the General's actions have the characteristics of the General. Arrangement, I only have to obediently obey orders, how can I question it!"

This sentence is so watertight that Zheng Zhilong can't find any faults.

But Zheng Zhilong kept saying some inexplicable and irrelevant words, and did not reveal his true purpose.

People who can be sent here by Tokugawa Iemitsu are not so stupid.

During the recent period, he also heard some news about Sun Jie's victory over Shandong from the market.

Now that Zheng Zhilong summoned him suddenly, he can naturally guess it.

However, Zheng Zhilong has not said these things, just said some irrelevant things.

Seeing that Zheng Zhilong had been unwilling to lead the topic in this direction, he took the initiative to speak.

"General, I heard that things are not peaceful recently! It seems that there are some problems in Shandong. It seems that the sun thief has already taken Shandong?" Sakai Ichiro said bluntly.

Zheng Zhilong sat in a comfortable position, squeezed his chin, and his voice became louder: "Since you already know about this, you should be able to guess the reason why I called you here today."

The smile on Sakai Ichiro's face became wider. He looked around and said, "My back hurts from standing!"

Standing beside Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhihu pointed at him angrily, and shouted angrily, "Don't push yourself!"

Now there is a huge reversal of primary and secondary. In the past, Sakai Ichiro would not have dared to speak to Zheng Zhilong like this.

In order to be able to complete the task assigned to him by Tokugawa Iemitsu, he humbly begged many people, hoping to introduce himself to Zheng Zhilong.

But now the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes, and this change has made him arrogant.

"Get him a chair!" Zheng Zhilong said.

Zheng Zhihu wanted to say something more, but Zheng Zhilong stopped him.

There was no other way, but according to Zheng Zhilong's arrangement, he took a chair and placed it behind Sakai Ichiro.

Sakai Ichiro lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down with a smile, looking like a villain gaining power, which made Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao very angry.

Zheng Zhilong didn't say anything, he could only endure it.

However, I really didn't expect that this Sakai Ichiro would dare to be so arrogant in front of him.

This is the nature of the Japanese people, "the son is a wolf in the mountain, and if he succeeds, he will be rampant."

After holding on to the posture for a long time, until he was satisfied, he opened his mouth leisurely: "This time the shogunate is not the same as Toyotomi Hideyoshi back then, but they are not in such a hurry to destroy the Central Plains.

Today's shogunate is not comparable to Toyotomi Hideyoshi back then.

Speaking of it, the main reason for Toyotomi Hideyoshi to send troops back then was internal instability. He wanted to eliminate these instability in the war through this method, but failed in the end.

And the current shogunate has already ruled the entire world, and the armies of the entire world are commanded like arms. Of course, they will not repeat the mistakes of Toyotomi Hideyoshi! "

Sakai Ichiro explained in detail the advantages of the Tokugawa shogunate today.

It is one thing to be arrogant, but it is another thing to explain in detail the current situation of the shogunate.

After all, the purpose of his coming here is to promote cooperation between the two parties.

"I understand all the things you said, but what is your strategy? I need a detailed strategy, can't I just talk about it casually?" Zheng Zhilong said.

"I don't know the detailed strategy. It's a secret of the shogunate. Only the grown-ups know it. And I, just a little samurai, naturally don't know about it!"

……

In order to resist Sun Jie, Zheng Zhilong in the room rubbed his forehead worriedly, and Zheng Zhilong's son also started his own strategy in order to realize his ideal burden.

Zheng Chenggong has his own small courtyard in Zhenhaihou Mansion, but he usually doesn't like living here.

He bought a property on the street not far from the palace outside, and he usually lives here.

He often likes to invite a few friends to drink and eat at home, talking about his great ambitions and his views on the world.

Now he can be regarded as young and promising, but he doesn't have much power in his hands.

Zheng Zhilong is still young and full of energy, and he is very sure about power.

After returning from the palace, he called several like-minded friends over to discuss countermeasures together.

These few friends of his are basically talented people who are worried about the court and the world. They all have a common characteristic, that is, they are full of enthusiasm.

However, there is a young man here, who is Sun Jie's spy who stayed here before.

Back then, when Sun Jie left Jinling, he left many spies here. These spies were distributed in various places in Jinling, and now they are mixed in all walks of life in Jinling.

There is a small pavilion in the backyard of Zheng Chenggong's residence, and now they are gathering in it, berating Fang Qiu.

"I thought that the current imperial court would have to administer heavy medicines in order to heal the serious diseases on the body..."

Zheng Chenggong was the first to speak. He stood in the middle of the pavilion, berated Fang Qiu, and expressed his opinion.

Speaking of excitement, he even danced.

Zhang Hai sat in the pavilion, quietly listening to Zheng Chenggong, looking thoughtful.

"Brother Zhang, what do you think?" Zheng Chenggong suddenly looked at Zhang Hai.

Zhang Hai is Sun Jie's spy who stayed in Jinling, and now he has established a very good relationship with Zheng Chenggong.

The identity of staying in Jinling is the owner of a grain store, because he often helps some poor people in the city, so he is known by Zheng Chenggong.

After going back and forth, the two became acquainted, and Zhang Hai often said some very constructive words, as well as his decent appearance, which made Zheng Chenggong confide in him.

The relationship between the two of them is also very good now, and Zheng Chenggong will not hide anything from him.

Zhang Hai is also very prudent in his work. He didn't advocate Sun Jie's practices to Zheng Chenggong, nor did he advocate Sun Jie's power or greatness. Instead, he started with Zheng Chenggong's favorite things and gradually built a good relationship with Zheng Chenggong.

This is exactly what Sun Jae asked him to do, Sun Jae made him do it.

Zheng Chenggong in history was a great man and a hero.

If such a person cannot be used for himself, it is really a huge loss.

But to tame this kind of person, it is not at all difficult.

However, if this kind of person is tamed, it will benefit Sun Jie a lot.

Zhang Hai stood up, and everyone's eyes were on him.

After deliberating for a while, he organized his language and said: "Brother Zheng is right, if you want to clean up the country, you must eradicate those traitors in the world.

There are two traitors before us, one is Yang Sichang and the other is Zhou Yanru.

Zhou Yanru, who abolished the ban on military training in the world, was the chief culprit who caused the chaos in the world.

Therefore, Zhou Yanru must be eliminated first.In addition to Zhou Yanru, there is also Yang Sichang, a scumbag. "

Zhang Hai's statement attracted the approval of Zheng Chenggong.

"That's right, brother Zhang is right. Therefore, we must get rid of them! From ancient times to the present, the decline of each dynasty is inseparable from these traitors, just like Cao Cao in the Han Dynasty Same, like Qin Hui in the Song Dynasty.

If there were no people like them, how could the country have collapsed so quickly? "Zheng Chenggong's voice was loud and menacing.

It cannot be said that his thinking is very simple, many things are not so easy to understand.

Zheng Chenggong is still very young and has not experienced too many things, so he is currently only blaming the decline of the court on a few treacherous people.

In his view, as long as these traitors are eradicated, the country can return to normal.

Young people are impulsive, people who are willing to take action for their own ideals.

Zheng Chenggong is still far from the mature general in history. At this time, his mind is not so mature, and the problems he thinks are relatively simple.

"However, how to get rid of the two of them is a question worth discussing!" Zheng Chenggong said.

Zheng Chenggong and the people in the pavilion, except Zhang Hai, thought so.

What they think is very simple, as long as all these traitors can be eliminated, the world can be restored to the way it was before.

Not only did Zhang Hai not block anything, but he was still fueling the flames inside.

For him, being able to get rid of Yang Sichang or Zhou Yanru is really a good thing.

"Both of them are difficult to deal with now. Yang Sichang is currently a member of the imperial court, and Zhou Yanru also has a lot of troops in his hands. He is now entrenched in Hangzhou, looking like a local emperor.

We really don't have enough strength in our hands. If we just go there rashly, it may be counterproductive.It is absolutely impossible for my father to agree to these things we did. How to get rid of the two of them is the most important question right now! "

There was a lot of confusion on Zheng Chenggong's face.

He is the son of Zheng Zhilong, and he will be the most powerful general on the sea in Asia in the future.

But the current him, in the final analysis, is just a frivolous boy in his early twenties.

He didn't have much strength in his hands, and his father didn't give him much military power, so it was really difficult to mobilize troops.

Not to mention that Yang Sichang had a deep friendship with his father. If he wanted to eradicate Yang Sichang, Zheng Zhilong would definitely stop him.

What he did, his father knew nothing about it.

He also won't let his father know what he did. In fact, he has always been unhappy with some of his father's actions, and because of his status, he can only endure it temporarily.

"We can't do it clearly, we can do it secretly, if it doesn't work, we can assassinate, there is always a proper way!"

A young man stood up, waved his hand, and there was a lot of cruelty on his face.

"Assassination? Can this work? If it fails, I'm afraid it will be completely exposed. Before we are really sure, if we do it rashly, it will only lead to greater failure!" Zheng Chenggong was a little worried.

But now the assassination is the safest way at present, other than this, I really can't think of anything else.
