On the morning of the sixth day of the second month of the eighth year of the Apocalypse

In the yard of a family in Nagasaki, Japan, Zheng Zhilong was sitting upright on the tatami. A young woman in a traditional Japanese kimono was sitting next to Zheng Zhilong with a baby in her arms. The young woman was his wife, Takawa Matsu, who was Takawa. In front of them, Zheng Sen, who was just four years old this year, was happily flipping through what Zheng Zhilong brought.

Suddenly, Zheng Sen shouted happily, and hurriedly raised a knife from the box and asked Zheng Zhilong, "Father, is this for me?"

Zheng Zhilong glanced at it and nodded with a smile: "Of course, these are for your mother and you. Do you like it?"

"Of course, I like it so much!" Zheng Sen grabbed Xiaodao and smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a slit.

"Just like it." Seeing Zheng Sen's happy appearance, Zheng Zhilong nodded with a smile, touched the sparse short beard under his jaw, and his face was filled with relief.

Seeing his husband happy, Takawa asked with a smile: "Husband, you have been staying in Nagasaki for more than ten days this time. Do you have to stay in Nagasaki in the future? If so, Daro and I will be particularly happy."

"Not this." Zheng Zhilong shook his head: "The reason why I stayed here for so long this time is because I just defeated an enemy who often causes trouble for me. In the short term, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to cause trouble for me, so I can stay here for a while. I will still have to go back to Bengang in a few days."

"Father, it turns out that you won the battle. No wonder you are so happy these days. Can you tell me which enemy you defeated?" Zheng Sen, who was playing with a knife, happily clapped his hands when he heard his father say this.

"Of course." Zheng Zhilong was in a good mood. He touched Zheng Sen's little head and smiled: "You should know that I defeated the army of the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty who captured you a few months ago. This time I injured several of their ships and killed many of their officers and soldiers. I think they should know how powerful I am now."

"Oh... I understand, it turns out it was the marquis of the Ming Dynasty."

Although Zheng Sen is less than five years old, his memory is obviously very good. He remembered what happened a few months ago. After being happy, he said hesitantly: "Father, I remember that Marquis is very powerful. His boats are very big and drive very fast. Last time, Uncle Ishii Jiro and I were caught by their boat and put them back, but Uncle Shi and the others couldn't come back." When he said this, Zheng Sen lowered his head sadly.

"Hmph!" Zheng Zhilong snorted lightly. When he thought that Shi Daxuan was still suffering, he was so angry that he was so angry.

As his most trusted brother and subordinate, Shi Daxuan is brave and resourceful. In his plan, he planned to ask Shi Daxuan to assist his eldest son Zheng Sen, but now he has been caught in the mine as a coolie, which has also failed his plan.

Originally, Zheng Zhilong didn't think about how to get Shi Daxuan out, but since he defeated the Second Fleet led by Liu Xiang, his mind couldn't help but become active. Since Yang Feng knew his power a few days ago, can he be asked to hand over Shi Daxuan now?

Takawa also advised: "Husband, although you are brave, the Ming Dynasty has many people and powerful people. I heard from Jiro Ishii that the Ming Dynasty has begun to redevelop the navy again, especially after their Jiangning Hou came to Fujian, they vigorously rebuild the Fujian navy. Their warships are bigger, stronger and faster than us. Although you defeated them this time, the Ming Dynasty has many people and wide land. The temporary failure may arouse their anger. You must be careful."

Zheng Zhilong was a little unhappy when he heard Tianchuan say this, "What do you know, a woman? My hatred with Daming has long been irreconcilable. If I don't go against them, will they let me go? Your words are purely the kindness of a woman!"

Tianchuan said anxiously: "But the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty even let Dalang go, why can't he let you go?"

"This is also the reason why I can't figure it out." Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong was also confused. In the traditional thinking of the Han people, eradicating the roots is the most correct way to treat enemies. If he were Yang Feng, even if he didn't kill him after catching Dalang, he would have to ask him for enough benefits. How could he let him come back so easily? This is really unreasonable.

Zheng Zhilong didn't know that Yang Feng put Zheng Sen back because in another time and space, his son was a famous person who had made great contributions to the unification and territorial integrity of China. Although Yang Feng and Zheng Zhilong are mortal enemies, this did not affect his respect for his ancestors. This is the reason why he let Zheng Sen go. Zheng Zhilong naturally wanted to break his head and didn't understand it.

"Forget it... I won't talk about this." Zheng Zhilong waved his hand impatiently and said to Takawa solemnly: "My hatred and Daming are no longer reconciled, so you don't have to worry. As for Sen'er, since the Jiangning Hou said last time that he would not let him go to stupid port, then let him stay by your side. Based on my understanding of Yang Feng, he is a person who will definitely take revenge. This time his fleet suffered such a huge loss in my hands. He will definitely not give up, so Dalang is still safer to stay here with you. It's just that you have to take care of Dalang and raise Qizaemon. Thank you so much."

Takawa shook his head: "I don't work hard. As your wife, it is my duty to have offspring and raise children for her husband, but I am really worried about you." At this point, Takawa's eyes turned red.

Zheng Zhilong sighed softly, he wanted to say something when he occupied the pit. A sudden burst of footsteps came from outside, and soon Jiro Ishii's voice rang out: "Report to the lord, the people on the dock have an urgent report. The Ming Navy began patrolling the waters near Nagasaki again. And this time they are larger in scale and more ships, and many ships have been seized by them."

"What?"

"Nani?"

Two screams rang almost at the same time, and even Takawa couldn't help but exclaim in his native language.

Zheng Zhilong's face immediately turned dark: "How many ships have you come?"

Jiro Ishii said: "Based on the information from the ships we have recovered, there are at least fifty warships, ten of which are large warships we have never seen before!"

“This is impossible?

Zheng Zhilong blurted out, looking disbelief.

"According to the information coming, this bitch Liu Xiang has been severely damaged by me. Even if she is not dead, she will have to peel off her skin. Besides, their second fleet has been severely damaged by me. There is no way to repair it in less than two to three months. How could the first fleet organize such a large patrol scale? What's more, there are ten large warships. Could it be that Yang Feng will make a magic trick?"

"It's true, lord." Jiro Ishii gritted his teeth and said, "If only one or two people say this, it may be a lie, but now all those who escaped say this, it cannot be false. Lord, if the Ming Dynasty fleet was still wandering around Nagasaki, if they let them know that you are here, with their hatred towards you, they might immediately rush towards Nagasaki."

"Husband!"

Hearing this, Tianchuan's face suddenly turned pale. He grabbed Zheng Zhilong's hand and said anxiously: "Husband, this place is too dangerous, you should leave here quickly. Go back to Bengang, otherwise if the people of Ming Dynasty knew that you were here, they would probably kill him immediately."

Although Zheng Zhilong also has a certain influence in Nagasaki, he is an outsider after all, so he only brought five ships, only two of which were armed. If he really met the Ming fleet, they would have no choice but to surrender.

"No...I can't just go back like this." Zheng Zhilong shook his head: "Since the Ming fleet is patrolling nearby, I can't just go back like this. These people are now looking for ships coming and going around like mad dogs. If I leave like this, it will be easy for them to find out. If they let them know my whereabouts, I can't escape even if I put wings on it. If I want to leave for the sake of the current plan, I can only think of other ways."

"Another way? Could it be that your husband wants to leave from another place?" Takawa's eyebrows frowned slightly and said in surprise: "But where can your husband leave besides Nagasaki?"

Takawa clan is right. The second-generation general of Japan's ruler, Tokugawa Hidetaki, ordered eight years ago, in 1616 that any foreign ship could only enter and exit freely from Nagasaki and were not allowed elsewhere, so Takawa clan was so surprised.

"Your vision is still too narrow." Zheng Zhilong sneered: "If I, Zheng Zhilong, want to leave, no one can stop me..."

The next morning, an ordinary cargo ship slowly sailed out of Nagasaki Port and headed towards the west. The ship was stopped by a fleet more than 20 nautical miles away. Soon a small boat came over, and more than a dozen Ming naval officers and soldiers holding muskets boarded the cargo ship.

"Where are you going? What are you going to do? What cargo is loaded on the ship and who are there?" The head general asked a series of questions like a gunfire.

"This military man, we are all merchants from Nanyang. This time, we transported some specialties from Nanyan to long-term sales, and then brought some lacquerware and Japanese specialties back to Nanyang." The boss of the ship secretly stuffed a silver into the hands of the president with a smile. However, the method of trying it out in the past was not effective today.

"Don't do this, let the boss know that the tiger skin on me will be stripped off. Do you want me to go home to eat myself?" The President not only rejected the boss's money, but also gave him a stern face to teach him a lesson. He cursed and directed the officers and soldiers to search everywhere.
