Zheng Zhilong had two younger brothers, Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao. The three brothers could be said to have been involved in the same business.
On the Hirado side, Zheng Zhilong's younger brother Zheng Zhihu stayed here, while his other younger brother Zheng Zhibao is now in Taiwan.
"I haven't seen him for a long time." Zheng Zhilong said with a smile.
Matsuo Tsuneto's eyes have never left Fang Zhenghua since he met Zheng Zhilong.
The reason is very simple. This person is too outstanding and his dress is unusual.
After a few polite words, Matsuo Tsuneto got straight to the point and asked, "Zheng-kun, who is this person?"
"A guest from the Ming Dynasty." Zheng Zhilong said with a smile, "He wants to see our feudal lord."
"Are those ships outside from the Ming Dynasty?" asked Matsuo Tsuneto with a frown.
Being trapped in one place for a long time will make you feel that time passes very slowly.
In the last war with the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period, many old people have died, and many are still alive. But for many knowledgeable people in Japan, that was a huge setback.
The shogunate was so powerful at that time, with strong military and military strength. Under such circumstances, they wanted to attack Korea, expand their living space, leave the island and occupy the mainland. After conquering Korea, they even wanted to attack Ming Dynasty and establish a great empire spanning Asia.
This plan was proposed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi back then, and they did carry it out. Unfortunately, they failed to defeat the Ming Dynasty and retreated to their homeland. This was a serious setback for Japan.
In fact, Japan has never stopped expanding its living space since ancient times.
He tried it once during the Tang Dynasty, but he was defeated by Liu Rengui at Baijiangkou and his spine was broken.
The same thing happened during the Wanli period, when Japan was also beaten and was at a loss.
It was not until World War II that Japan became strong and remembered its dream of becoming a great power.
He wanted to conquer Korea and China and establish a pan-Asian empire, but unfortunately he failed again.
This time, Matsuo Tsuneto was very hostile to the Ming Dynasty's arrival.
His father died in the Wanli war, and he died with his eyes open because the dream of a great country was gone.
How could Matsuo Tsuneto have a good impression of people from the Ming Dynasty?
It's all your fault. Not only did my father die, but he also died with his eyes open.
Although Zheng Zhilong was a Ming Dynasty man, they were all the same kind of people, all pirates, which was the difference.
"Mr. Zheng, it's inappropriate to bring back people from the Ming Dynasty court, isn't it?" Matsuo Tsuneto looked at Zheng Zhilong and said with a serious face.
Zheng Zhilong's face also darkened.
He used to say he was very prestigious and well-connected, but now he’s being stopped at the door. Where’s his prestige? Where are his connections?
Zheng Zhilong said directly: "Whether to meet or not, it seems that it is not up to you to decide, right?"
Matsuo Tsuneto looked at Zheng Zhilong deeply and said, "Mr. Zheng, I was wrong. I will lead the way in front of you. Please come inside."
Zheng Zhilong of this era was too powerful. Not to mention the support of the Ming Dynasty, even without it, Matsuo Tsuneto could not afford to offend him.
Despite its powerful navy and unparalleled wealth, Japan had little confidence when facing Zheng Zhilong, especially with only one feudal lord. Moreover, Matsuo Tsuneto was not even a feudal lord.
Fang Zhenghua glanced at Zheng Zhilong, a smile flashed in his eyes, but also a hint of solemnity.
Zheng Zhilong's strength was beyond his imagination, but there was one thing he hadn't expected: the man in front of him actually had such strong hostility towards him. This was not normal.
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for me to achieve results in the negotiations.
But Fang Zhenghua didn't care too much. This was the situation at hand. If they could negotiate, then they would negotiate. If not, then they would fight. It didn't matter. There was no need to overthink it. His own life and death had long been disregarded.
Fang Zhenghua didn't care at all. He had already realized this and made preparations before doing this. It was impossible for him not to be calm.
The group's boat continued to move forward and finally docked at Hirado Island.
Zheng Zhilong smiled and said to Fang Zhenghua, "Eunuch, shall we get off the boat?"
