By the time the reorganization was completed, Zheng Chenggong had been defeated and retreated, which made the Japanese need to re-evaluate the war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties. They believed that the Southern Ming Dynasty was in a difficult situation to recover after experiencing internal strife, so they ceased their activities and stopped responding to Zheng Chenggong's request for troops.

But now that the revival of Nanming has taken shape, Zheng Jing estimates that the Japanese shogunate will show closeness to Nanming, but Zhu Yongxing wants to attack the Satsuma clan. I don’t know what his intention is? Is he going to use force to monopolize the Japanese trade? Or is he really in danger?

Is it the responsibility of the feudal lord to stand up for Ryukyu?

Zheng Jing couldn't figure it out and couldn't get to the bottom of it, so he continued to talk and laugh with Zhang Weihan full of doubts. The two sides also finalized a specific agreement on Taiwan's exchange of nitrates and sulfur for weapons. After the banquet, the guests and the host dispersed.

"The Northern Expedition has not yet been completed, and the world has not yet been settled, so we are going to conquer overseas. What do you want to do now?" Returning to the mansion, Zheng Jing's face darkened and he asked his close officials for answers.

Feng Xifan was silent for a long time and then said: "The actions we took in the southwest today are quite similar to now. At that time, before the enemy was destroyed, we conquered Annan. From now on, it seems that this move can be described as a far-sighted move."

"Does the imperial court want to occupy the land of Satsuma Domain? Then press the Japanese shogunate to pay for peace?" Zheng Jing thought about Annan and seemed to be talking to himself.

"It is certain to attack the Satsuma clan, but it is not necessarily possible to occupy other areas." Liu Guoxuan thought and said: "If Ryukyu is respectful, why occupy the land of Satsuma clan? If the Japanese shogunate refuses to give up, won't the war be protracted? Then there is no need to talk about the Northern Expedition.

How can we talk about pacifying the world?"

"The only thing I'm worried about is the trade with the Japanese." Zheng Jing sighed softly, looked at Chen Yonghua and said, "Fufu, what do you think?"

Chen Yonghua smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise. Today's expedition to the Satsuma Domain is called to demonstrate the responsibility of the suzerainty, but it is actually for trade with Japan. If we just talk warmly, the commercial status we will gain with Japan is no more than that of the Netherlands and Taiwan.

The same thing. If you use military force first and then talk about other things, you may gain more."

"Domination?" Zheng Jing frowned and asked.

Chen Yonghua thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Based on the way our superiors act, I'm afraid that won't be the case. If our superiors intend to suppress Taiwan, how can we provide assistance?"

"Even if it's not a monopoly, it still has a great influence on Taiwan's maritime trade income." Feng Xifan rolled his eyes and sneered: "The profits shared by three companies are still less than those of two!"

"So what?" Chen Yonghua's tone was calm, but he still showed a hint of edge. "The status of monarch and ministers has been determined. Do you want to distinguish right from wrong with the imperial court? Discuss the merits of the present? The imperial court wants to benefit from the Japanese maritime trade, which is also true.

In order to raise food and pay, drive out the Tartars, and launch the Northern Expedition. Now I want to conquer the Westerners and avenge the overseas Chinese, which is also the thought of the late king."

"The imperial court is so powerful, do you want to change the court and switch to Gaozhi?" Feng Xifan retorted, "Do you still remember the kindness of the late king and the kindness of the king?"

"You——" Chen Yonghua was so angry that his body was shaking and he pointed at Feng Xifan.

"Okay." Zheng Jing shouted coldly, "Xifan, what you said is quite right. Please apologize to Fufu quickly."

Feng Xifan choked for a moment, then he cupped his hands and said hastily: "Someone made a mistake. Please don't blame me, Mr. Chen."

Inconsistency between civil and military officials is a taboo. Among Taiwanese civil servants, Chen Yonghua is the most talented and has contributed greatly to the governance of Taiwan. Zheng Jing also relies heavily on him. Feng Xifan is a close guard. Zheng Jing does not want his close followers to conflict and create trouble for Taiwan.

Stability factor.

Chen Yonghua is a scholar after all, and has always been in conflicting thoughts. The court and the emperor are righteous, and the late king and Zheng Jing are kind to him, which makes him very depressed. Feng Xifan's apology is not sincere, and Chen Yonghua is still angry and will
