I am the carpenter king

Seeing Wyvert sitting there quietly, Brian apparently lost interest in talking to him, so he didn't speak anymore, turned around and walked out.Recently, several Japanese women have come here, and I still go to be with them!Staying by Waite's side made me feel uncomfortable all over.

Taking a sip of the wine, Waite gradually showed a smile on his face, and he walked to the side of the map.He reached out and pointed at Penghu, then some Xiamen, and finally his hand landed on Taiwan!

Standing at the bow of the boat, Zheng Yiguan had a look of helplessness on his face, and he was still in vain when he arrived in Japan.I really don't know how the news came out, Li Dan didn't receive the news.

Zheng Yiguan originally worked as an interpreter for the Dutch in Penghu, but Li Dan sent himself to Nanjing, so he did not understand the news from Japan.Looking at the opening on the warship, Zheng Yiguan was still in a cold sweat. If he hadn't been vigilant, he might have died in Japan.I really don't know what my brother-in-law is thinking, and I didn't inform myself of such a big matter!

The one Zheng Yiguan called his righteous brother was Yan Siqi, a well-known sea merchant along the coast, or a well-known great pirate.In the 40th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Yan Siqi was bullied by the eunuch, killed his servant in anger, and fled to Japan.After a few years, the savings gradually became rich.During this period, Siqi often went to Nagasaki for trade, and made a deep friendship with Yang Tiansheng, the owner of Quanzhou Jinjiang, and met a group of Hokkien patriots who lived in Japan and engaged in overseas adventures.He is well-known far and wide because of his connections with heroes.The Japanese Hirado authorities appointed him as a snail (leader).

After years of operation, in the fourth year of Tianqi, Yan Siqi is already quite wealthy.At that time, the Japanese regime change was over, and Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third general of the Tokugawa family, ascended to the position of general.In Tokugawa Iemitsu's view, these foreign businessmen are getting poorer and poorer in Japan, and they don't have a good impression of these businessmen.

Tokugawa Iemitsu even believes that the reason why Ming Dynasty is strong is because of his foreign policy, which is the strict sea ban.Historically, after Tokugawa Iemitsu ruled the country by force, Tokugawa Iemitsu ordered the adoption of a closed-door policy.

After this retreat.Japan completely withdrew from maritime trade.Until the Meiji Restoration in modern times. In 1853, Perry of the United States led an army to Japan and forced the shogunate to sign a series of unequal treaties. Japan faced the danger of becoming a colony and a semi-colony.Arouse the contradictions of the Japanese people.The rule of the shogunate is in jeopardy.

Ultimately, it sparked a downfall movement. 1868.The Banbai faction defeated the shogunate army in the war, and Tokugawa Yoshiki led the army to surrender in Kaesong, and the Tokugawa shogunate, which had ruled for more than 260 years, completely collapsed.Formulated Japan's closed-door policy.It was the shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu.

In his view, daimyos from all over the world were able to resist him, mostly because of the profits from maritime trade, which strengthened their strength.This is another reason why Tokugawa Iemitsu closed the country, and this idea directly determines his policy.

In the fourth year of Mingqi, Yan Siqi and others were dissatisfied with the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan, conspired to rebel and participated in the resistance struggle of the Japanese people.On June 28th, Yan Siqi, Yang Tiansheng, Chen Zhongji, Zheng Yiguan and other [-] people worshiped as brothers and made an oath: "Born on different days, death must be on the same day."

Everyone pushes Siqi to be the leader.Unfortunately, the shogunate sent troops to search and arrest. Siqi led the crowd to flee in thirteen ships in a panic.Driving to the western coast of Kyushu, Chen Zhongji suggested: "I heard that Shuqiu is a deserted island on the sea, and it dominates the southeast, and the land is fertile and hegemonic. Now we should take the land first, and then invade the Quartet, then Fuyu's career can be successful. also."

Originally, Zheng Yiguan was also going to participate in this rebellion, but he was sent to Nanjing by Li Dan, but he missed this incident.After all, it was not yet time to rebel, and he was anxious to return to Japan, so there was naturally a reason for this incident.But he didn't expect that the matter would be leaked, and he was almost caught when he arrived in Japan.

Now that Yan Siqi has arrived in Taiwan, Zheng Yiguan naturally wants to go too, after all his family members are also there.But the best location is that Penghu is now occupied by the Dutch. If you want to have a good development, you must drive the Dutch away.I don't know how Yan Siqi is doing now, and if he has encountered any difficulties!

But Zheng Yiguan now has a big mystery in his heart, why didn't his adoptive father Li Dan tell him the news.It's impossible for his adoptive father not to know about such a big matter, but why didn't he tell himself?Does he really not know his relationship with Yan Siqi?

Suddenly he remembered what Li Dan said to himself when he was in Xiamen. It seems that his adoptive father still knew something, but he didn't know that he and Yan Siqi were sworn brothers.After all, I and others are going to rebel, so naturally I won't make it public.Thinking about it this way, it is understandable that my adoptive father didn't tell me.

After exonerating Li Dan, Zheng Yiguan's thoughts went to Taiwan again, and he didn't know what was going on there!

On the 23rd day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, Si Qi led a fleet across the bay and docked at Bengang (now Beigang, Taiwan).Seeing that the island is fertile, watery and beautiful, and a large area of ​​wilderness has not been opened up, Si Qi decided to expand the territory and start a career here.Nai led the gathering of trees to clear the soil and build the Liaozhai.At that time, the Tufan thought that foreign enemies were invading, and gathered together to attack.The survivors of Siqi appeased them and agreed on the boundaries so that they would not invade each other.In Pingye (now Xingang) on ​​the southeast coast of Bengang, Siqi planned and built a well-shaped camp with a large platform in the middle, making it the center for organizing and commanding reclamation.At the same time, Yang Tiansheng was sent to lead a fleet to Zhangzhou and Quanzhou to recruit immigrants, totaling more than [-] people.

Yan Siqi divided the reclamation people into ten villages and distributed them silver, cattle, farm tools, etc., and started the earliest large-scale reclamation activities in Taiwan.Land reclamation requires capital investment. Yan Siqi selected a group of people from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou who had sailing experience, and used the original [-] large ships to use the convenience of sea transportation to carry out maritime trade with the mainland; at the same time, he organized sea fishing and island hunting. , to develop the mountain-sea economy to meet the material needs of immigrants in production and life.

Now it is January of the fifth year of Tianqi, what Yan Siqi has done in Taiwan has already achieved results.Gradually they gained a firm foothold in Taiwan, and they wanted to turn this place into their own independent kingdom.At this time, Zheng Yiguan came to Taiwan by boat.

Hearing that Zheng Yiguan was coming, Yan Siqi immediately came to see Zheng Yiguan. Among these brothers, Yan Siqi liked Zheng Yiguan the most.He is forthright, generous, generous, and his martial arts are second only to himself.But there is one thing that Yan Siqi also admires very much, that is Zheng Yiguan's resourcefulness.

"Yiguan, you are finally here! I have waited so hard for you, brother. You are not in Japan, and the things you planned are leaked, all thanks to brother! The villain plotted, I'm sorry for my virtuous brother!" When he saw Zheng Yiguan, before he could speak, Yan Siqi took his hand and kept talking.

Unlike Zheng Yiguan, Yan Siqi looked more like a pirate, with a dark face and calloused hands and feet.He didn't wear shoes on the road, his trouser legs were rolled up high, and his whole body smelled of salty sea water.

Listening to Yan Siqi's story with a smile, Zheng Yiguan slowly said: "Brother, as the saying goes, people plan things, and heaven makes things happen! We have entered the heart, and it's okay if things don't work out. Besides, if it wasn't for Japan's failure , Brother, would you want to come to Taiwan? From my point of view, this is a good place to establish a foundation for the world! We have here, then we have a foundation, and it will be time for you and my brothers to show their strengths!"

"It's still my brother who can talk, much better than them! Brother, let's go, let's not get drunk today!" Yan Siqi suddenly laughed, and he was very happy about the territory he created.It's just that the flattering skills of the rest of the people are far inferior to Zheng Yiguan, only Zheng Yiguan can make him not bored, on the contrary, he is very happy.

The two walked forward talking and laughing, and more and more people gathered together. When they heard that Zheng Yiguan was back, everyone came here.Those who slaughtered cattle and sheep drank more and more wine.

After sending Yan Siqi back who had drunk too much, Zheng Yiguan walked towards his residence at a leisurely pace.He has already inquired, and his family members are arranged here, so their lives are worry-free.

There was a woman standing at the gate of the yard, obviously waiting for Zheng Yiguan.Wearing a kimono made her look very charming, her face did not look scary like a Japanese woman's paint, but was similar to that of a Daming woman.This person is Zheng Yiguan's wife Weng Shi, who dressed like this because Zheng Yiguan likes it.

There is a child in the woman's arms, it is Weng's son, but it has been a few months, and Zheng Yiguan has not been seen yet.

Walking over quickly, looking at the sleeping baby, Zheng Yiguan couldn't help stretching out his fingers and tapping his lips.Seeming to be very sensitive, the child pursed his lips, and then opened his eyes.

Seeing Zheng Yiguan's face, the child didn't cry, but stretched out his hands, beckoning Zheng Yiguan to hug him.With a cheerful smile on his face, he let out a giggle.

"As expected of my son, I recognized my father as soon as we met!" While laughing loudly, while hugging the child, Zheng Yiguan turned his head and asked Weng, "Does the child have a name?"

"My husband is not here, so how can anyone name the child? Now there is a nickname, Fusong. My concubine hopes that he will live a long life like a pine tree, and be a blessed person!" A look of sadness flashed across Weng's face, and his tone was unknown. Unconsciously, there was a hint of resentment.

While walking inside with the child in his arms, Zheng Yiguan played with his son, thought for a while, and said, "The child still needs to have a big name, and the name is Zheng Sen! It's luxuriant, haha!" After hearing the name, Zheng Yiguan burst out laughing!

It seemed that Zheng Yiguan's laughter frightened Zheng Sen, and the child suddenly cried, feeling a little hoarse.Zheng Yiguan was not in a hurry, instead he laughed and said: "My son, he just has strength!" (To be continued...)
