The person who came to disturb Zheng Zhilong and Li Ruolian's conversation was Tagawa Song.
Seeing Zheng Zhilong sitting there with a depressed look on his face, she went over to serve him and said softly to Zheng Zhilong: "My child has admired you since he was a child and missed you. Today I saw you came back. I was overjoyed for a moment.
I really want to show off in front of you and attract your attention."
After a pause, she continued: "I told him just now, and he knows he was wrong. I hope you don't mind!"
Tagawa Song spoke in Ming Dynasty Mandarin, which Li Ruolian could understand. The same was true, and it was a bit embarrassing to hear him.
When a husband and wife meet again after a long absence, they want to say some thoughtful words, and I am still here to listen, it is a bit like the light bulb in the Wenhua Palace!
Thinking like this, he looked at another personal guard, who was Zheng Zhilong's true confidant.
The man also understood what he meant, so he quietly signaled and withdrew.
When Li Ruolian saw it, he quietly withdrew.
Of course, he was so quiet because he just didn't say hello to Zheng Zhilong. It was impossible for Zheng Zhilong to miss such a big person.
However, at this moment, it was indeed not the time to speak, so there was no stopping him.
After a moment of silence, when Li Ruolian and others had exited, Zheng Zhilong suddenly asked Tagawa Songdao: "You usually speak in Hokkien, why did you just speak in Mandarin?"
At this time, the Ming Dynasty Mandarin was the lingua franca of neighboring countries, especially those with large businesses or high-ranking officials would generally understand some Ming Dynasty Mandarin.
However, if it is just between husband and wife, generally speaking, they will use the most intimate language to communicate.
Zheng Zhilong spoke Hokkien, and Tagawa Song also spoke Hokkien.
But at this time, Tagawa Song was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic, which surprised Zheng Zhilong. He was worried that Tagawa Song had seen something, so he asked.
After hearing this, Tagawa Matsu didn't hesitate and immediately explained: "I was very concerned about Jiro's Mandarin just now, so I think if I use Mandarin, I might be more happy."
Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but be stunned. Feeling the attentiveness of his wife, he reached out and touched her face and said: "You have worked hard these years!"
After hearing this, Tagawa Song shook his head, and then immediately asked: "Dalang, no, how is Fu Song doing now?"
The eldest son Zheng Sen was brought back to Ming Dynasty when he was seven years old. From then on, mother and son had no chance to see each other again.
Generally speaking, parents are very concerned about their first child because it is their first. Especially Zheng Sen lived with his mother until he was seven years old, and then was taken away and never returned.
Having seen him before, he became a person that Tagawa Matsu cared about even more.
Although there are letters exchanged every year, no matter how many letters there are, how can they be worth the pain of missing each other!
He knew that his son had grown up safely, he knew that his son had a wife, and he knew that his son would also have a son. Suddenly, in the past two years, there were no letters, which made Tagawa Matsu very worried.
At this time, with Zheng Zhilong in front of her, she naturally wanted to know immediately how her eldest son was doing?
Zheng Zhilong looked at the worry in Taguansong's eyes and understood his mood at this time, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, you're fine! It's just that major events have happened in the past two years, and I really have no time to distract you, so you are worried.
!”
At this point, he knew that if he didn't explain it clearly, she would still be worried, so he said to Tagawa Song: "You are now a grandmother. Your grandson is Zheng Jing, and he is two years old now. Fu Song is now
He is a second-rank Jinyiwei commander from the imperial court. Under normal circumstances, I would have to be respectful when I saw him."
Fortunately, Zheng Zhilong is now the chief of the Navy and has been awarded the title of General Longhu of the second rank. In terms of rank, he is higher than his son. Otherwise, he would be really ashamed.
When Tagawa Song heard what he said, he immediately showed a happy smile, but when he came to his senses, he immediately showed a worried look and asked Zheng Zhilong: "How could this happen? Is there something bad going on?"
Fusong shouldn't be such a high-ranking official, right?"
It can be seen that she was not overly happy, but immediately noticed that this was abnormal.
Of course, this may also have something to do with her marriage to Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong was a person who fought, fought with swords, fought with each other, and deceived each other. She had experienced all these, so she was not an ordinary woman.
After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong changed to a comfortable sitting position and continued to receive Tagawa Song's massage, and then said: "Of course it is because of my efforts as a father that he can have such an official position now."
After a pause, he thought for a moment and then added: "Of course, this has something to do with his loyalty to the emperor and his country. I can feel that the emperor really likes Fu Song! His future will be boundless in the future!"
"Of course, this is all your credit!" Zheng Zhilong said this, smiled and said, "Fusong misses you the most and has always followed your teachings."
Guai
He meant what he said.
Zheng Sen has been missing his mother since he returned to the Ming Dynasty, and he also keeps in mind his mother's teachings to him.
As he said just now, although when his son started out, the court did take a fancy to his power, but his son's ability to be the commander of the Jin Yiwei, rather than other official positions, was by no means due to his power.
It's affected.
You must know that the Jin Yiwei is different from others. They are the emperor's personal guards, and they represent the most trusted ones by the emperor. In the future, his son will be the commander of the Jin Yiwei, which further proves that the current emperor really trusts his son. And this is
The result of his son's own efforts is also the result of Tagawa Matsu's teachings.
After hearing what he said, Tagawamatsu showed a happy smile, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he was obviously very happy.
My son who is far away has a promising future, and I couldn’t be more happy to be a mother!
However, Tagawa Matsu was not happy for long, and immediately asked a little worriedly: "From what Jiro said, does the court have any problems with you?"
When Nagasaki came over just now, although Tagawa Nanaemon accompanied him, she avoided it, so she didn't know the details of the conversation.
Although she believed that Zheng Zhilong had experienced big storms and could handle anything, she still cared and asked.
After Zheng Zhilong heard this, he knew that his second son knew about it, and she would know about it sooner or later, so he said: "It's just that I lost some money. Let's just treat it as a loss of money to eliminate the disaster. It's nothing."
At this point, he became serious and said to Tagawa Song seriously: "You must keep your mouth shut about Fu Song. No one can tell it!"
"Okay!" Tagawa Song was stunned after hearing this, but immediately nodded and obeyed Zheng Zhilong's wishes. However, there was still confusion in her eyes.
Seeing this, Zheng Zhilong explained to her: "Fusong has reached a high position at a young age. I'm afraid that it will hurt Jiro, so I can't tell anyone here, otherwise Jiro may know about it. Wait for my arrangements and come back."
Take Jiro to Ming Dynasty and arrange a good future for him!"
After a pause, he said solemnly: "No matter what, the palms and backs of my hands are all flesh, and I won't favor one over the other!"
Hearing this, Tagawa Song couldn't help but feel relieved, nodded quickly, and promised equally seriously: "Okay, I understand, and I will never tell anyone!"
Then, she said softly: "I'm tired from the journey, can I help you soak in the hot springs?"
Zheng Zhilong laughed when he heard this, nodded immediately and said: "Okay, we also want to reminisce about the past!"
Hearing this, I don't know what Tagawa Song thought of, but he blushed.
With Zheng Zhilong's city, he would naturally not rush to find Li Ruolian. At least on the surface, everything he did must be reasonable.
Therefore, it was not until the next day that he had the opportunity to send Tagawa Matsu and Tagawa Nanaemon away and talk to Li Ruolian alone.
"Yesterday the Japanese official came to check my reputation!" Zheng Zhilong explained to Li Ruolian, "I can tell that the Japanese are indeed divided into two factions. One faction advocates forming an alliance with Jianlu and swallowing up North Korea first. The other faction
The meaning is to be cautious."
Having said this, he explained in detail: "The famous names from all over the country, that is, those like me, the Ming Dynasty vassal king, all advocated taking this opportunity to occupy North Korea. And the warriors, those who joined the army, also belonged to this group.
.Even the direct descendants of the Tokugawa shogunate, especially the confidants of the Tokugawa shogunate, all advocate caution."
When Li Ruolian heard this, he frowned and thought for a moment, then asked: "Which faction has the advantage?"
After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong shook his head and said, "There is too little information to say!"
After finishing speaking, he thought for a moment and then continued: "Based on my understanding of the Japanese and my impression of the Tokugawa shogunate, it's hard to say!"
"..." Li Ruolian was speechless. Doesn't saying this mean that he didn't say it?
Fortunately, Zheng Zhilong was still explaining to him: "The reason why the Tokugawa shogunate was able to conquer the world was precisely because of the war against the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the Tokugawa shogunate has always been very wary of other daimyo, fearing that other daimyo would rebel.
Success. From the time the Tokugawa Shogunate came to power until now, they have all tried every means to weaken the daimyo of various places. As far as now, the Tokugawa Shogunate has put a lot of thought into it and has been relatively successful!"
Li Ruolian listened and nodded in agreement.
"If we want to form an alliance with Jianlu now, we will probably continue to go to war with the Ming Dynasty. This will give other daimyo opportunities to rise and repeat Tokugawa Ieyasu's path. This is definitely not what the Tokugawa shogunate wants to see.
." Zheng Zhilong analyzed seriously, "We have finally weakened the Ming Dynasty in various places, but now we have to give them a chance to increase their strength. What do you think Tokugawa Iemitsu would think?"
Hearing this, Li Ruolian asked worriedly: "Then you mean that Japan will not form an alliance?"
As soon as he said this, he remembered that Zheng Zhilong meant that it was hard to say, so he quickly changed his words and asked: "Then why is it hard to say?"
