"You know, my wife is Japanese, so it's fine for me to be the shogun."
After hearing this, Zheng Zhihu's eyes suddenly lit up and his face became excited.
He turned to look at Zheng Zhilong and asked in disbelief, "Brother, do you want to be the shogun?"
"Is there anything wrong?" Zheng Zhilong spread his hands and said, "Is there no one more suitable than me? I am a Ming Dynasty person. I have status and position on Hirado Island and can get their support. Why can't I make some progress in this regard?"
"What's wrong with being a shogun? As long as the Ming Dynasty is willing to support me, I can definitely do it, and I believe that the Ming Dynasty is willing to support me." Zheng Zhilong said with a smile: "Only then can our family be considered truly prosperous."
Zheng Zhihu believed what his elder brother said. If he could really achieve that, he would be very successful.
Although his family was now very developed and had a large fleet, everyone knew that drifting on the sea was like duckweed, without any roots it was easy to be killed.
Being a shogun in a foreign country is different. You have connections, money, territory, and the support of the Ming Dynasty. Who knows, one day, your own country will be founded.
Thinking of this, it was impossible not to be excited. Zheng Zhihu was very excited and looked at Zheng Zhilong and asked, "Then, big brother, what should I do?"
"No need to do anything." Zheng Zhilong shook his head and said, "What we need to do now is to wait quietly and cooperate with the Ming officials to get things done. We can talk about other things later. This war has not yet started, so we should not get too involved."
"Okay, I understand." Zheng Zhihu nodded and said, "Do you want to prepare a gift for that eunuch? Isn't it said that eunuchs like money?"
"Let's talk about it after this matter is over." Zheng Zhilong shook his head and said.
Compared to the Ming army, Zheng Zhilong was not worried at all. He was not afraid that he would die on Hirado Island if he failed to accomplish this task, because it was impossible and he had the strength to escape from here.
Although overturning it may not be possible, escaping is no problem.
Meanwhile, Matsuura Taro was sitting on a chair, looking at his men and asking, "You said Zheng Zhilong is back, and with him came an official from the Ming Dynasty?"
"Yes, Lord." The subordinate said quickly, "News just arrived from the dock."
Matsuura Dalang was somewhat helpless. After a moment's silence, he said, "Don't say anything, don't do anything. Send someone to keep an eye on them. Don't alert them. Understand?"
The subordinate quickly said, "Understood."
After waving his hand and waiting for his men to leave, Matsuura Taro sat down.
He also had some doubts and really didn't know why Zheng Zhilong called people from the Ming Dynasty.
You know, things aren't that good here. The Japanese pirates back then were actually referring to us. For years, we've been doing business, fighting and stopping, stopping and fighting, and it's always been like this. But the Ming Dynasty has never been to Japan, let alone to Hirado Island. This time, Zheng Zhilong brought someone back, and it was definitely not just an ordinary person.
Matsuura Taro was not that worried. He was the lord of Hirado Domain and did not believe that anyone could do anything to him in his own territory, not even Zheng Zhilong.
However, there is still a worry. After all, the relationship between him and Zheng Zhilong has not been so good in the past two years. As Zheng Zhilong becomes more and more powerful, there are more and more contradictions.
However, Zheng Zhilong has been slowly moving away, and everyone can be said to have parted ways amicably, and the relationship between them is also good. Therefore, Matsuura Dalang did not quite believe that Zheng Zhilong would do anything.
At this time, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu finished their discussion, and Zheng Zhilong came to the backyard and met his wife Tian Chuan Song.
Seeing Zheng Zhilong coming back, Tian Chuan Song bowed slightly and said respectfully, "You're back."
Zheng Zhilong nodded, walked up to Tian Chuan Song, held her with his hand, looked her up and down and said, "You look well. Have you been having a good time lately?"
"Not bad." Tianchuan Song nodded and said.
"Where is your son?" Zheng Zhilong asked.
"Practicing martial arts in the back." said Tianchuan Song.
"Then let's go and take a look together." Zheng Zhilong nodded, stretched out his hand and pulled Tian Chuan Song to the back. The couple went to see their son together.
Fang Zhenghua sat in the chair with an expressionless face, tapping the table with his hand.
"Eunuch, isn't it a bad idea for us to just wait like this?" A guard beside Fang Zhenghua whispered, "Shouldn't we do something? I have a feeling that Zheng Zhilong has bad intentions."
He turned around and glanced at the guard Zhang Zhao, who was about thirty years old. He was a member of the imperial guards, assigned to Fang Zhenghua by Zhu Youxiao.
It was said that Zhang Zhao's men were very famous among the imperial guards and had carried out many missions. Fang Zhenghua had no idea what those missions were, but they were undoubtedly experts.
"No rush, no rush." Fang Zhenghua looked at Zhang Zhao and said with a smile, "What does it matter whether he has good intentions or not? He's just going to kill us, so what good will that do him?"
"People always do things for the sake of gain. They won't do anything that doesn't benefit them. Don't worry, even if we can't accomplish this, our safety will be fine. Not to mention others, Zheng Zhilong will definitely not let anything happen to us. So eat when you should, drink when you should."
"We can't do that." Zhang Zhao shook his head and said with a firm face, "I'll take people out to investigate tonight."
"It's better not to alert the enemy." Fang Zhenghua said helplessly, "Once we alert the enemy, it will cause trouble later."
