Chapter 1 Crossing the King of Fujian Sea
In April, in the 14th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng's house in Anping City, Jinjiang, Fujian.
The festive atmosphere filled with the air has not yet dissipated. Zheng Zhilong's eldest son married Dong, which is a great joy for Zheng Zhilong's group.
Guests from all walks of life gathered not only many generals from the Zheng group, but also civil and military officials from Fujian, wealthy families in coastal prefectures and counties, and even gentry on the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong.
Anyone who relies on the sea or makes a living by sea will come to Anping with generous gifts. Even if they look down on Zheng Zhilong, the pirate man Qiu Ba, in their hearts, at this time, who dares not give him face?
Even those who can walk into the Zheng family’s mansion through the gate today are well-known figures. Many small merchants outside have received great gifts, but they can’t even enter the Zheng family’s door!
After defeating the Red Mavericks [Netherlands] and destroying his last maritime competitor, Liu Xiang, the sworn brother of the former, Zheng Zhilong seized control of the entire southeastern sea. His official position was also promoted to the General of Fujian, who was the land tyrant on the southeastern coast!
Countless scholars and officials can look down on Zheng Zhilong from the bottom of their hearts, but cannot ignore Zheng Zhilong's existence.
The land of Fujian is even more about Zheng’s Great Wall. Whether it is maritime merchant ships from the southeastern provinces or foreign Western merchant ships, who dares not pay protection fees to the Zheng family?
Any sea ship that cannot be ordered by Zheng’s flag cannot come and go. Each ship is invested in three thousand golds and tens of millions per year, so as to enrich the enemy’s country and build an Anping City on its own.
Zheng Zhilong has soldiers and money, but he is not just the general of Fujian on the official side, but the real number one warlord in several provinces in the southeast. When he was angry, he could sweep several provinces in a blink of an eye and disrupt the powerful figures in the entire southeast.
When the Ming Dynasty was prosperous and the people were safe, even a small county magistrate dared not buy the face of the general, and a magistrate could serve as an uncle in front of the general. But this time, that is not the case?
It has been fourteen years since Chongzhen, and the one who has soldiers in his hands is the old man.
Last year, the Ming army and the bandits fought in Sichuan and Shaanxi. Yang Sichang ordered Zuo Liangyu to intercept the peasant army. Zuo Liangyu stood by and watched. Yang Sichang issued nine commands to Zuo Liangyu, but Zuo Liangyu still ignored it. Because Zuo Liangyu failed to watch the battle, Zhang Xianzhong calmly went out of Sichuan to attack Xiangyang. The peasant army won a great victory. Yang Sichang was angry and frightened and died. However, Chongzhen only asked Zuo Liangyu to cut off his post and make meritorious contributions. In fact, Mao did not hurt him.
Not to mention the birthday of the ancestors in Liaodong, these are all living examples.
At this point, who dares to ignore the overlords of the Zheng family, the Fujian region?
Zheng Zhilong, who was less than 40 years old, looked at the guests in front of him and saw the Zheng family's overwhelming power in the entire southeast.
Even though I was so happy, I got drunk with everyone.
At dawn the next day, when the person woke up again, no one knew that just then, Zheng Zhilong's body had changed its core.
“Hahahahahahahaha…”
Chen Hua made a sound like laughing or crying, which made the guards guarding outside immediately feel nervous.
"Master, Master..." Kenji Ono held the hilt tightly in his hand and shouted outside the door.
He was the confidant who had followed Zheng Zhilong for many years and was a servant whom Zheng Zhilong had taken over before he became famous in his early years. He had been loyal for more than ten years, and Zheng Zhilong had no trust in him than his brothers.
"Nothing, nothing is wrong!"
Zheng Zhilong's familiar voice came from the room, and there was a sense of awkwardness in the voice, but there was no nervousness at all. Ono Kenji and others were still worried. He opened his mouth and waited for another question. Another voice came from the room, "Go and prepare water!"
This was not what Kenji Ono and the others said. There were two crisp promises in the room, and then the sound of tiny footsteps.
The door opened, and the familiar face of the eunuch inside appeared in front of Kenji Ono and the others.
Only Chen Hua was left in the room. He watched a movie with his personal biography. He roughly accepted Zheng Zhilong's memory and also learned about Zheng Zhilong's man. At this time, his face hidden in the darkness was still a crying and laughing expression. He really won the jackpot.
Traveling through time, how many modern people have a beautiful dream that only daydreaming has come to his head when he is on the verge of death. Is it because of that familiar river?
Chen Hua is not unfamiliar with time travel. Not to mention the film and television dramas in recent years, but only watching online novels that have become increasingly influential in society, isn’t it just a giant based on ‘time travel’?
He is so lucky now? It’s really 10,000 people who can’t imagine it. Such a good luck, so he won’t lose his gold mountain in his previous life. That little luck is not as great as time travels, right?
The huge joy made others confused. Fortunately, at night, he was even lying on the boat, and he had time to ask him to control himself.
He clenched his fists, and the strong feeling was something he hadn't felt for a while.
From a dying patient to a strong man now, the huge surprise shocked all the surprises, and even the sadness of separation from parents, relatives and friends.
Not to mention the identity of time travel.
Zheng Zhilong, who is less than forty years old, is already the overlord of East Asia's maritime master. The father of Zheng Chenggong, the man surnamed Zheng.
Chen Hua, who had a one-sided understanding of the father of Guo, combined with the memory in his mind, could feel the hardships and difficulties of Zheng Zhilong's early years. But that was his early years, not now. Now he has built a big "country".
It is now the 14th year of Chongzhen, that is, in 1641, the Battle of Luowan was fought, and the sea coachman who suffered a lot of losses surrendered, Liu Xiang was also dead, and the Fujian-Taiwan waters had recovered peace.
Not only was Zheng Zhilong in his prime, he had also eliminated all the heroes and incorporated the Southeast maritime power into the local government system. While obtaining sea control, he also legally controlled the operation of the East-West trade system.
By the 12th year of Chongzhen, Japan's Aodi territory was locked in and withdrew from the East Asian maritime competition; the Dutch reached a maritime navigation and trade agreement with Zheng, stipulating that the Netherlands' trade with Japan must be transported to Taiwan through Zheng Zhilong. After the sale was transferred, the Dutch side was transported to Japan for sale. Zheng Zhilong became the only power in the Eastern Ocean World.
The armed fleet under his command was clear-cut and strong. He sailed along the southeast coast. He was a member of the Macao, Japan, Luzon and other Southeast Asia. He used his power and financial resources to expand maritime trade and almost monopolized China's trade with overseas countries. He was truly rich and powerful!
Chen Hua enjoys his success, he enjoys his success.
Think about it, a dying dying person suddenly recovered from his health. What kind of surprise is this? Even if he was over teenagers, he suddenly turned from a low-level citizen of a society to a "column minister" of a court. He was rich enough to rival a country and had a huge power. Haha, that's really a death without regrets, right?
He was not upset about the "passed" decade at all.
Because Chen Hua didn't believe at all that the best is the process of success, not the fruits of fruit!
He enjoyed the fruits very much.
The only thing that I find strange is the picture he saw before crossing the road. The long river hangs in his rental house. It was an antique Chinese painting he bought last year. It was not valuable, and he couldn't afford it even if it was really valuable. But he just liked that river and felt that the painting was very imposing...
The fault of soaking in a big bathtub was that he waved his hand and asked people to go down. There were those delicate and ardent beauty to serve him closely. This corrupt feudal aristocratic life was so beautiful.
It was dawn, and Chen Hua, dressed neatly, came to his step-wife Yan Siqi's daughter. The latter was Yan Siqi's daughter. In the process of Zheng Zhilong's rise, a very important part was to take over Yan Siqi's family business as a senior official, so naturally there was no twists and turns in it. Therefore, Zheng Zhilong married Yan!
After Yan Siqi's family's family was transferred to Zheng Zhilong, many people were the backbone of the current Zheng family. Therefore, Yan also has a very strong position in the Zheng family and plays the role of the wife of the wife to some extent.
Zheng Chenggong's biological mother, Takawa, can only be considered an outdoor room.
But it is also because Yan's symbolic meaning is extraordinary. He married Zheng Zhilong for more than ten years and never gave birth. There is no need to say much about the reasons behind the inside.
For this reason, even though Zheng Zhilong married Yan's daughter as his wife in order to obtain Yan Siqi's inheritance, Tianchuan, as Zheng Sen's biological mother and his eldest son's mother, has always had a very respectable status.
On the side of Chen Hua and Yan's seats, there was a separate chair. No one sat there. Who told the Japanese shogunate not to let the Takawa clan? She was still in Japan. When Zheng Zhilong sent someone to pick them up and bring them to the Central Plains, the Takawa clan was blocked by the shogunate on the grounds that "the Japanese girl did not enter the Central Plains", and only the seven-year-old Zheng Chenggong was released. The Takawa clan and his second son Takawa Chisaemon have been staying in Japan until now.
Soon, Zheng Sen and Dong, who were newlywed, came to pay a visit. Chen Hua was not very excited. Zheng Sen had seen too many times. He didn't know how many times he had seen the fruit body of the Guo family in his memory, so it was difficult to have the birds worship and excitement.
In front of outsiders, Zheng Zhilong was a feudal master full of majesty. Chen Hua copied the words according to the gourd in his memory and performed well.
Just keep your face a bit, this performance is too easy. The young and handsome guys can do it perfectly.
Leave his son and daughter-in-law to have dinner, Chen Hua sat on his head, his face calm but his heart was very exciting.
Be happy to be a father, be happy to be a father, is this the real thing about being a father?
He was a young man of twenty-five years old, and in the blink of an eye he had a seventeen-year-old eldest son and an eighteen-year-old daughter-in-law. In two years, he would be a man of the age of the master. His life was unpredictable, and this was the case.
After the wedding, Anping City returned to peace.
After the days of celebration, it will be a normal tomorrow. If in history, the Zheng group leaders who gathered in Anping due to Zheng Sen's wedding will inevitably leave one after another in the following days and return to their original position. Continue to live a corrupt life of being alone and waiting for death.
But after Chen Hua traveled through time, Zheng Zhilong became different, and this kind of life would naturally be different.
"You go and tell them, and you will stay for a few days."
Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Zhiguan, Zheng Zhiguan, Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Cai and Zheng Tai, the Zheng clan relatives who came to fight with Zheng Zhilong, all received news from Chen Hua. In addition, Shi Fu, Shi Daxuan, Hong Xu, Gan Hui and other key figures from the Zheng group, all the powerful figures of the entire Zheng Zhilong group stopped.
Therefore, when a large number of foreign tourists left, they gathered in the room.
Before the guests left, Zheng Zhilong had no time to "discuss the scriptures and talk about the Tao" with them, and this was Chen Hua's first appearance in the true sense, and it was his first step in this familiar and unfamiliar time and space. If he could handle it calmly, there would be a ghost.
It’s not that he can become awesome after traveling through time, nor that he can perfectly integrate with Zheng Zhilong after watching a movie.
Chen Hua had to clarify his ideas. It was the late Ming Dynasty, the 14th year of Chongzhen. If the Ming Dynasty was as good as the historical trajectory, then the Central Plains would be over in three years. Of course, he could not sit still and watch the Qing Dynasty enter the pass and let China sink. But if he asked him to wade into the muddy waters of the Ming Dynasty, just think about the history of the Ming Dynasty that he had "see" before, and combined with Zheng Zhilong's memory in his mind, Chen Hua really had a kind of footstep that could not wade into the muddy waters.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty was ruined, and Zheng Zhilong's group was in chaos, with serious corruption and a strong trend of luxury. Although he was the leader, his binding force against his generals was not as directed as an arm.
He is really a warlord, with the big warlords following the small warlords, and there are also mountains inside the group. Zheng Zhilong really didn't put all his strength together. Moreover, their sea surface power is naturally very powerful, but the land fighting is really pitiful.
Before the real test comes, such a shortcoming is fatal!
Chen Hua won’t learn from Zheng Zhilong in history. He wants to do something great, so that he can avoid wasting time travel that God gave him? Therefore, he must carefully sort out his ideas, make a splash in his real debut, and completely convince the backbone of his group at the rally! That can’t be done simply.
"Today, everyone gathered in the same room, and the layout was so strict, because the matter Zhilong discussed was of great importance. Therefore, it must be very important." Chen Huagao sat in the meeting hall and pointed outside and said.
Outside the meeting hall, hundreds of strong black soldiers stood with muskets and held their heads.
The leader, Luis de Matus, was a rational and intelligent black man who was extremely trusted by Zheng Zhilong. The latter dominated the Eastern Seas and had a large number of tan Iron God believers from Macau and Manila to serve him. They had their own company and were very excellent musketeers. Zheng Zhilong used them to protect themselves and serve them in military service, and his trust in them was no less than that of the Japanese samurai led by Kenji Ono.
To a certain extent, these black soldiers were even more trusted by Zheng Zhilong. Because there were many Japanese samurai led by Kenji Ono who were proficient or roughly Chinese, and what about the black people outside? Only a very small number of people could use Chinese.
The conference hall was filled with solemnity, and everyone present looked solemn.
Chen Hua was a little excited. Just a few days ago, he was still a dying bully, a grassroots who took risks to earn a lot of money for his parents, but now he has become the leader who dominates the country. He has thousands of ships of all sizes and hundreds of thousands of people following him.
The mistake is not that the need to perform Zheng Zhilong's "acting skills" is really not high. He has practiced this scene many times in his mind, but he really can't hold on to his airs.
A shocking starts... If you want to make a shocking sound, you must not speak astonishingly.
Chen Hua said with a 'crazy word':
"My Ming Dynasty has been opened up by Emperor Taizu and has been passed down for more than 270 years since the opening of Emperor Taizu. It has been passed down for more than 270 years since the Ming Dynasty was established. Now there are bandits inside and Tartars outside and there are Tartars outside. Moreover, natural disasters and man-made disasters are frequent. Do you think this Ming Dynasty can still be successful?"
Chen Hua was so shocking that he could not stop talking. His words were deafening, and everyone present was stunned in an instant.
Chapter completed!
