From the end of Jiajing to the era of great pirates

Zhu Jue had a very boring day with all kinds of gossip, but the Zheng family was quite busy.

Because the emperor could not make ends meet, he would ask his close ministers for money from time to time.Although the total amount is just a drop in the bucket for the Zheng family, it is not easy to give away this kind of money in a big way. The main reason is to give it away to the jester, who uses crooked means to invite favors, and the family does not dare to use the means provided by Optimus Prime.

Zhu Jue told the Zheng family that they could choose a teenage daughter of the emperor as a gift to the emperor. Not only would she be favored, but she might also be able to give birth to a prince, thus completing the rebellion in the simplest way.But don’t dare to use this method!Who knows if people today will have the same hobbies as Emperor Chenghua?If not, shouldn't you feel offended or insulted?That is the crime of deceiving the emperor.

This method sounded like a joke, and the ancestor said it very casually, not seriously at all. Therefore, the Zheng family discussed it for a long time and decided not to listen.Or use the method of giving furniture and hiding money inside the furniture to give gifts to the emperor.

It wasn't until the 12th year of Wanli that Zheng, who was ten years older than Wanli, was named a noble concubine. Only then did the Zheng family realize that the method their ancestor casually mentioned was really a good method.But it was a missed opportunity. After all, Concubine Zheng already doted on the harem alone. If she sent her female relatives there, she would have to compete with the concubine of the same surname who had taken the lead. This was too difficult and unnecessary.

Concubine Wan Gui's natal family was only a small family in Daxing County, so Wanli's request for money was nothing more than giving Concubine Wan Gui a private house to support her natal family.The Zheng family can completely handle this matter for them. By the way, they can recognize each other as the same clan, thus avoiding the danger of becoming a jester.What's more, if you accept that family, you will become relatives here. The Zheng family has long received the prophecy of their ancestors. Wanli is the longest reign of the Ming Dynasty, even longer than the previous Jiajing, which was 48 years, and Zheng Guifei She has been the sole doting member of the harem for more than 30 years, and it is absolutely worry-free to climb this big tree.

The reason why the Zheng family didn't believe Zhu Jue's words was his own business. The main reason was that he couldn't remember many historical events, especially the dates when they happened. For example, he had remembered the day when Zhang Juzheng died as the 18th year of Wanli. Many preparations were cancelled, and some had to be advanced.

It’s no wonder Zhu Jue, after all, it happened in the late Ming Dynasty, it’s good that he can remember this. It’s not a history exam, so who should remember the date.In addition, most of his attitude is to watch the excitement now, and it is inevitable that he speaks a little carelessly. It is no wonder that the Zheng family dare not follow it one by one.

But if he takes something seriously, no one in the Zheng family will object.After all, his ancestor can be regarded as an immortal just because of his lifespan. The cave is still another world. The Zheng family can only let the younger generations who are officials know about his existence. How can they dare to disobey orders?

In short, the matter of Emperor Wanli asking for private money from the imperial concubine had little impact on the Zheng family. After all, they were sensible and would not catch a Zheng family member to be fucked to death.In fact, the Zheng family has accumulated wealth through maritime trade and trade between the two worlds, which is as rich as any other country. They just want to break away from the gentry group now, so they can restrain themselves. If they really want to win, Wanli alone will not be able to win over them. of.

It is now the 20th year of Wanli. The ministers have temporarily put aside their national issues and begun to turn their attention to the east. The Japanese country began to invade North Korea.

Throughout history, the Japanese country has been jumping around, fighting for hundreds of years. Before, it was too bad luck to catch up with the prosperous Tang Dynasty. At the mouth of Baijiang River, it experienced the majesty of the heavenly kingdom.This time, it directly hit the end of the Ming Dynasty, but there was still no achievements. The Ming Dynasty simply sent the Li Jiajun from Liaodong, which made them doubt their lives. The famous generals of the Warring States Period suffered bloody blows.

Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty is a good friend of Japan?Historically, in that collision, Japan was considered to have won.

In the early days of this war, the world was completely dominated by Li Rusong, which established Li Rusong's status as a famous general. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, he was only ranked under the God of War.

Except for the initial aggressive advance, the Liaodong Army did not suffer any losses. On the Japanese side, Kato Kiyomasa, Fukushima Masanori, Shimazu Yoshihiro, and other famous Warring States generals who were recorded by them as comparable to Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, were corrected by Li Rusong one after another. Got it? What exactly is a famous Chinese general? These locals are completely incomparable.

If the DPRK had not deliberately weakened the Liaodong Army, which had gradually shown signs of being a warlord, and did not dare to allow it to recruit its own troops and provide military expenditures, Li Rusong alone could have wiped out all the invading Japanese armies.

As for the stick men who were instantly killed by the Japanese army, they were not worth mentioning. Even Yi Sun-shin, the only one who could fake it, was a naval general. He was a god who relied entirely on the achievements of Deng Zilong and Chen Lin of the Ming army. Zhu Jue was not at all Dismissed.Anyway, in the early days of the war, what he knew was that the sticks were defeated thousands of miles away and ran to the Ming Dynasty for help, but there was no navy resisting tenaciously.

Because the stick collapsed too quickly and too urgently, it showed the smell of conspiracy. The Ming Dynasty sent Li Rusong after some investigation, so there were many reports from Tang and Di. Zhu Jue paid close attention and knew the general process.

In fact, the imperial court didn't pay much attention to it. Emperor Wanli was still at home, and the military god was not dead, but no one proposed to reinstate him and lead the Qi family's army to the DPRK for reinforcements. Only the Li family's army in Liaodong, which was to be weakened, was transferred there.

Judging from the exchange of letters, Qi Jiguang also sighed a little about not being able to go into battle, but it was unthinkable.After all, the Jianzhou Jurchens in Liaodong have not yet made a fuss, but they have started to make a fuss. Zhu Jue is also very doubtful whether Qi Jiguang has a chance to revive. Judging from the attitude of the civil servants in the DPRK towards military generals, they have probably forgotten that there is such a one. .

Even if someone with a good memory remembered it, how many would bring it up?

Zhu Jue wanted to use the power of the Zheng family. It was really frustrating that the general could not die on the battlefield. He did not know Qi Jiguang's lifespan. History had actually changed here.But it would be interesting if the military god's final battle was to defeat the Japanese army.

The ancestor was interested, so the Zheng family took action. First, through the mouth of the noble concubine, the emperor was reminded that there was such a person.Then when the Japanese invaded again, Wanli would not have to transfer watermen from Guangdong. If Xiong Tingbi could catch up, he could take the Zheng family's navy to beat the Japanese. Anyway, he could pass the blame to the Zheng family in Fujian afterwards.

The military god on land and Xiong Tingbi on water, this lineup can be regarded as the Japanese country's good fortune, and the high-end treatment of the Ming Dynasty.

I just don’t know if Lao Xiong can catch up with the next imperial examination.

Moreover, there is still a question about Zheng Zhilong's birth. Zhu Jue only remembers this person, but he really doesn't know when he was born.Not to mention Father Zheng, he doesn't even know the country's surname. He can't look up the information, so he can only ask now. At worst, he will just leave it to the biggest pirate at the moment. Who cares if his surname is Zheng or not?
