    Brian saw Velvet sitting there quietly, obviously losing interest in talking to him, so he didn't speak anymore, turned around and walked out.  A few Japanese women have arrived here recently, so you might as well go and be with them!  Staying next to Waite, I felt uncomfortable all over.  After taking a gentle sip of wine, a smile gradually appeared on Waite's face, and he walked to the side of the map.  He reached out and pointed at Penghu, then at Xiamen, and finally his hand landed on Taiwan!  Standing on the bow of the ship, Zheng Yiguan had a look of helplessness on his face. He arrived in Japan but failed.  I really don¡¯t know how this news came out. Li Dan didn¡¯t even receive the news.  Zheng Yiguan originally worked as an interpreter for the Dutch in Penghu, but Li Dan sent himself to Nanjing. As a result, he did not know the news about Japan.  Looking at the hole in the warship, Zheng Yiguan was still frightened into a cold sweat. If he hadn't been alert, he might have died in Japan.  I really don¡¯t know what my sworn brother is thinking. He didn¡¯t even notify me of such a big thing!  The person Zheng Yiguan calls his adopted brother is Yan Siqi, a famous sea merchant on the coast, or a famous pirate.  In the 40th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Yan Siqi was bullied by the eunuchs, killed his servants in anger, and fled to Japan, where he worked as a tailor and engaged in maritime trade between China and Japan (actually he was a pirate).  After a few years, the savings gradually became richer.  During this period, Siqi formed a close friendship with Quanzhou Jinjiang shipowner Yang Tiansheng, who often went to Nagasaki for trade, and met a group of southern Fujianese who lived in Japan and engaged in overseas adventures.  Because he had many heroes and became famous far and wide, the Japanese Hirado government appointed him as the leader.  After years of business, by the fourth year of Tianqi, Yan Siqi was already quite wealthy.  At that time, the change of Japanese regime ended, and Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third general of the Tokugawa family, ascended to the position of general.  In Tokugawa Iemitsu's view, these foreign businessmen made Japan become poorer and poorer, and he had no favorable impression of these businessmen.  Tokugawa Iemitsu even believed that the reason why the Ming Dynasty was powerful.  It's because of his foreign policy, which is the strict maritime ban.  Historically, after Tokugawa Iemitsu ruled the country by force, Tokugawa Iemitsu ordered a policy of isolation from the country.  After this retreat, Japan completely withdrew from maritime trade until the Meiji Restoration in modern times.  In 1853, the American Perry army arrived in Japan and forced the shogunate to sign a series of unequal treaties.  Japan is in danger of becoming a colony and semi-colony, which has aroused conflicts among the Japanese people and put the shogunate's rule in jeopardy.  ??Eventually triggered the overthrow movement.  In 1868, the anti-shogunate faction defeated the shogunate army in the war. Tokugawa celebrated his victory in Kaicheng and surrendered. The Tokugawa shogunate, which had ruled for more than 260 years, completely collapsed.  Formulated the policy of Japan's isolation from the country.  It was the shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu.  In his opinion, the reason why daimyo from various places can resist him is mostly because of profits from maritime trade, which has strengthened their strength.  This is another reason why Tokugawa Iemitsu closed himself up to the outside world. This idea directly determined his policies.  In the fourth year since tomorrow, Yan Siqi and others were dissatisfied with the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan, so they plotted a rebellion and participated in the Japanese people's resistance struggle.  June 15th.  Yan Siqi, Yang Tiansheng, Chen Zhongji, Zheng Yiguan and other 28 people became brothers and swore an oath: "If you are born on different days, you will die at the same time."  Everyone recommended Si Qi as the leader of the alliance.  Unfortunately, the incident was revealed, and the shogunate sent troops to search for him. Siqi and his men fled in panic on thirteen ships.  Arriving at Zaiwei, an outer island on the west coast of Kyushu, Chen Zhongji suggested: "I heard that Shuqiu is a deserted island in the sea. It controls the southeast and the land is fertile and can be dominated. Now we should take its land first, and then invade all directions, and then the cause of Fuyu can be achieved.  "Also." Originally Zheng Yiguan was also going to participate in this rebellion, but he was sent to Nanjing by Li Dan and missed this event.  After all, it was not the time to rebel yet. He was anxious to return to Japan, which was naturally the reason for this incident.  But he didn't expect that the matter would be leaked.  I almost got caught when I arrived in Japan.  Now that Yan Siqi has arrived in Taiwan, Zheng Yiguan will naturally go there too, after all, his family members are also there.  However, Penghu is the best location and is currently occupied by the Dutch, who want good development.  He must drive the Dutch away.  I wonder how Yan Siqi is doing and whether he has encountered any difficulties!  But Zheng Yiguan now has a big mystery in his heart, why his adoptive father Li Dan didn't tell him the news.  It was impossible for his adoptive father not to know about such a big thing, but why didn't he tell him?  Does he really not know his relationship with Yan Siqi?  Suddenly he remembered what Li Dan said to him when he was in Xiamen. It seemed that his adoptive father still knew something, but he didn't know that he and Yan Siqi were brothers who wanted to be the boss.  After all, he and others wanted to rebel, so naturally they wouldn't make it known everywhere.  Thinking about it this way, it was understandable that his adoptive father didn't tell him.  After excusing Li Dan, Zheng Yiguan¡¯s thoughts went to Taiwan again, and he didn¡¯t know what was going on there!  The eighth month of the lunar calendarOn the 23rd, Si Qi led the fleet to Jiewan Bay and docked at Ben Port (now Beigang, Taiwan).  Si Qi saw that the land on the island was fertile and beautiful, and that there was a large area of ??unexplored wilderness, so he decided to open up territory and do something great here.  Then he led a group to cut down trees to clear up land and build a village.  At that time, Tufan thought that foreign enemies were invading and gathered their tribes to attack.  The survivors of Si Qi tried to appease them and agreed on boundaries so as not to interfere with each other.  In the plains on the southeast coast of Bengang (today's Xingang), Siqi planned and built a well-shaped camp with a large platform in the middle, making it the center for organizing and commanding land reclamation.  At the same time, Yang Tiansheng was sent to lead a fleet to the hometown of Zhang and Quan to recruit immigrants, totaling more than 3,000 people.  Yan Siqi divided the settlers into ten villages and distributed them silver, cattle, farm tools, etc., and started Taiwan's earliest large-scale reclamation activities.  Reclamation required capital investment, so Yan Siqi selected a group of Zhang and Quan people with navigation experience to carry out maritime trade with the mainland using the original thirteen large ships and the convenience of maritime transportation; at the same time, he organized fishing at sea and hunting on the islands.  , develop Shanhai economy to meet the material needs of immigrants¡¯ production and life.  Now in January of the fifth year of Tianqi, what Yan Siqi did in Taiwan has already achieved results.  Slowly they established a foothold in Taiwan and wanted to turn this place into their own independent kingdom.  At this time, Zheng Yiguan came to Taiwan by boat.  Hearing that Zheng Yiguan was coming, Yan Siqi came to see Zheng Yiguan as soon as possible. Among these brothers, Yan Siqi¡¯s favorite was Zheng Yiguan.  He is generous and generous, and his martial arts skills are second only to himself.  But there is one thing that Yan Siqi admires very much, and that is Zheng Yiguan's resourcefulness.  "Yiguan, you are finally here! Brother, I have been waiting for you so hard. You are not in Japan, and the things you planned were leaked, all because of brother! When the wise brother left, he asked brother to beware of villains, but brother still let him  The villain is plotting against me, I'm sorry for my virtuous brother!" As soon as he saw Zheng Yiguan, before he could say anything, Yan Siqi took his hand and kept talking.  Unlike Zheng Yiguan, Yan Siqi looks more like a pirate, with a dark face and calluses on his hands and feet.  He walked on the road without wearing shoes, his trouser legs were rolled up high, and his whole body smelled of the salty sea water.  Listening to Yan Siqi's story with a smile, Zheng Yiguan slowly said: "Brother, as the saying goes, it's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to God to make things happen! We have reached the level of mental strength, and it doesn't matter if things don't work out. Besides, if it weren't for Japan's failure  , Brother would like to come to Taiwan? In my opinion, this is a good place to start a business! Now that we have a foundation, it will be time for you and me to show our talents!" "It's still my brother!  He can talk and is much better than them! Brother, come on, we won't go home until we get drunk!" Yan Siqi burst out laughing, feeling very happy about the territory he had created.  It's just that the other people are far less able to flatter him than Zheng Yiguan. Only Zheng Yiguan can make him not bored, but very happy.  The two people walked forward chatting and laughing, and more and more people gathered. When they heard that Zheng Yiguan was back, everyone came here.  Those who kill cattle and sheep drink more and more wine.  After sending Yan Siqi back after drinking too much, Zheng Yiguan walked slowly towards his residence.  He has already inquired about it, and his family will be arranged here, and their lives will be safe.  There was a woman standing at the door of the courtyard, obviously waiting for Zheng Yiguan.  Wearing a kimono made her look very charming, and her face was not as scary as a Japanese woman's, but similar to a woman from the Ming Dynasty.  This person is Zheng Yiguan's wife, Weng Shi. She dresses like this because Zheng Yiguan likes it.  In the woman¡¯s arms was a child, the son born to Mr. Weng. It had only been a few months and he had not seen Zheng Yiguan.  Walking over quickly and looking at the sleeping baby, Zheng Yiguan couldn't help but stretched out his finger and tapped his lips.  As if sensing something, the child pursed his lips and then opened his eyes.  Seeing Zheng Yiguan¡¯s face, the child didn¡¯t cry. Instead, he stretched out his hands and motioned for Zheng Yiguan to hug him.  With a cheerful smile on his face, he let out a giggle.  "He is indeed my son. He recognizes me as soon as he meets me!" While laughing, he hugged the child over. Zheng Yiguan turned to ask Weng, "Does the child have a name?" "My husband is not here.  , no one names a child, now he has a nickname of Fusong. I hope he can live as long as a pine tree and be a blessed person!" A look of sadness flashed on Weng's face, and her tone was unknowingly full.  With a hint of anger.  While carrying the child and walking inside, Zheng Yiguan played with his son, thought for a while, and said: "The child still needs to have a name, let's call him Zheng Sen! It's lush and leafy, haha!" Give it to the child  As soon as the name was mentioned, Zheng Yiguan burst into laughter!  It seemed that Zheng Yiguan¡¯s laughter frightened Zheng Sen. The child suddenly started crying, feeling hoarse.  Zheng Yiguan was not in a hurry, but laughed and said, "My son just has strength!"
