Daming Haiku

Chapter 60 Zheng Yiguan's Purpose

"We are Li Dan's subordinates. Today, we passed by here. I don't know that this is the territory of all the good men. I hope this big master can see us for the face of our peers, raise your hand once, let us go, and make friends in the future, and it's easy for everyone to talk again! Do you dare to ask the name of this master? Zheng Yiguan saw that Yu Xiaotian had calmed down and put away his anger, so he said to Xiaotian again.

After listening to this, Yu Xiaotian looked at Zheng Yiguan again, pretended not to know him, and did not show too enthusiastic. Instead, he frowned for a moment and said, "Li Dan? Are you talking about the Li Dan of Kyushu Island mentioned in the world?

"Exact! It turns out that the master knows the name of our shopkeeper Li, so it's easy to talk! Presumably, the master also knows what our shopkeeper Li does. In fact, everyone is also in this industry. In the future, there will be intersections on this sea. It is also fate for me to meet here this time. Those goods on the ship have the right to meet and give them to you! I hope you can raise your hands once and let us go! In the future, after Zheng goes back to report to our shopkeeper, he will definitely come to thank you!" Zheng Yiguan is a personal person. Although he is in danger, he has always been neither humble nor arrogant.

After listening to Zheng Yiguan's words, Yu Xiaotian slowly stood up again, laughed and shook his head and said, "Since you are Mr. Li, it seems that you are indeed a misunderstanding today! Yu Xiaotian, the sea wolf, I don't know if Brother Zheng has ever heard of it?

When Zheng Yiguan saw that Yu Xiaotian's attitude slowed down, he immediately relieved a lot. When he heard that Yu Xiaotian reported his identity, he immediately hugged his fist and smiled and said, "It turns out that this brother is the famous Fuzhou sea wolf! Disrespectful and disrespectful! Nowadays, in Fujian, as long as you are sailing on this sea, who can't know your name? It's Zheng's lucky to meet the boss today!"

Yu Xiaotian has completely adjusted his mentality at this time, and also hugged his fist and saluted Zheng Yiguan, "Brother Zheng is polite! Yu is just a fool of his own. Compared with your shopkeeper Li, what can I do? It made Brother Zheng laugh!

It seems that it was indeed a misunderstanding today. Just now, I thought you were a passing merchant ship and wanted to bypass here and go north, so I ordered to chase you and frightened Brother Zheng!

Come on, go and prepare some wine and dishes for me. I want to have two drinks with the Zheng brothers to shock the Zheng brothers!

Brother Zheng, the weather is also good today. Would you like to have a drink with someone?

Seeing that Yu Xiaotian's attitude became more and more relaxed, and asked his men to arrange wine and dishes and treat him to drink, Zheng Yiguan was completely relieved. Yu Xiaotian's attitude has shown that he was willing to buy his account and had given up being the enemy of the Li family, so Yu Xiaotian wanted to put wine to shock him, so he did not Good excuse.

"How dare you! I'm afraid to be shocked. It's my luck to get to know Yu Da's family. Since Yu Da's family is interested, it's better to obey than to be respectfully!"

Li Dan's name is a famous signboard in this era, whether on the coast of Fujian or on the coast of Guangdong. Of course, even if they don't know such a big-level figure on the sea, they will hear about it. Seeing that this ship is intercepted today It turned out to be Li Dan's ship, and the sea wolf department was also a little discouraged. Coupled with Yu Xiaotian's attitude, it has shown that they are going to do it for nothing today!

So the troops on the ship dispersed under the command of their respective leaders. Some people picked up lanterns, set up a small table, bought two small dishes, and sent a small jar of good wine from Fuzhou. Yu Xiaotian took Zheng Yiguan to sit at the table while eating and drinking. Let's talk.

"Yu has heard the name of shopkeeper Li for a long time, but he hasn't had a chance to meet him. Unexpectedly, he met Brother Zheng here today, and he can finally make friends with shopkeeper Li!

There are many disturbing brothers Zheng today. Yu will make amends to Brother Zheng here! I hope Brother Zheng doesn't mind!" Since Yu Xiaotian met this legendary figure in history today and can't kill him now, he will not easily let Zheng Yiguan go. Anyway, he has to make friends with him first. No matter where he goes in the future, it will be a matter. After all, he is full of curiosity about Zheng Yiguan. He used to The understanding is also limited to some paper records, but this person still wants to observe through his own eyes as historical records.

"It's too polite to be in charge. As the saying goes, you can't make a deal without fighting! You and I didn't know the identity of the other party before, and misunderstanding was inevitable. What's more, there was no loss. Don't be polite! Zheng is also lucky to know the head of the family here. I hope that the head of the family will not say such polite words again!" Zheng Yiguan can't see through Yu Xiaotian.

When we first met, Yu Xiaotian didn't know why. As soon as he heard his name, he became murderous. Later, he suddenly became very enthusiastic about him. Such a change made Zheng Yiguan quite confused, so he could only be careful to accompany him carefully and dare not put on any airs for fear of angering this. The "wary" sea wolf.

"Since Brother Zheng is working under Manager Li, I don't know why, how did you bring the ship here today? Brother Zheng, since you and I are all in this industry, don't give Yu any carelessness. I, Yu, am a straightforward person and don't like to go around!" Yu Xiaotian put on a rough posture and asked Zheng Yiguan while drinking.

Zheng Yiguan was slightly stunned, and his expression immediately returned to calm. He toasted Xiaotian with a smile, and then said, "Since Yu asked, there is nothing difficult to say!"

Presumably, the head also knew about the occupation of Penghu by the red-haired people of the State of Lan, which caused the dissatisfaction of the imperial government and wanted to expel him from Penghu!

We, the shopkeeper Li, had a friendship with these red-haired people and was invited to mediate between the red-haired people and the government. We happened to know some red-haired people' words, so we followed our shopkeeper to Penghu to do things for the red-haired people!

I don't know if the big man has ever had an intersection with the red-haired people? Zheng Yiguan stopped for a moment and asked Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian shook his head and said, "I have always been working in Fuzhou, but I have never had any contact with those red-haired people!"

Zheng Yiguan continued: "In fact, the reason why red-haired people are staring at Penghu is that they just want to communicate with our dynasty and do business today!

The red-haired people and those Frangji people and the dry Lasi people (a name for Spaniards in the Ming Dynasty) have always been at peace. The red-haired people have taken the dry Lasi people from Batavia, which is far away in the southern ocean, but Batavia is too far away from me. I go to business with merchants. I like to go to Macao or some dry lath people nearby. In Manila, few people are willing to go far away to Batavia, where the Red-haired people are located, to trade with them.

Brother Yu may also know that these Thai people like the porcelain, raw silk, satin, tea and other things produced in our dynasty. Once these things are shipped back to the land of Taixi, they can make great profits!

So over the years, the Red-haired people have always wanted me to find a foothold along the coast. Previously, they wanted to seize Macao, but because the Ferro machine people were very strict and failed to do so, they turned to Penghu.

Red-haired people just want to get a foothold and trade with our dynasty, but Penghu is the place of our dynasty. Our Ming Dynasty government has heard about it, so we can't allow it to stay for a long time!

This made the red-haired man go to war with me! Although we are also from our dynasty, we are doing business! Who do you do business with? Therefore, our shopkeeper was invited to come to Penghu, not to help the red-haired people, but to mediate from it. It is best for me to make peace with the government and the red-haired people!

But at present, I'm afraid it's difficult for the two sides to make peace! I don't know if the head of the house knows or not. A few years ago, Lord Nan, the new governor of Fujian, designed to capture some red-haired people and burned a boat of red-haired people. Now he has gathered heavy troops and began to attack Hongmao City in Penghu!

So we don't need to stay in Penghu anymore, so we are ordered by the shopkeeper to take the ship back to Kyushu Island! I happened to pass by here and bumped into you, the head of Yu, so I was lucky to meet the head of Yu today!

Mr. Zheng is very grateful for treating me like this. If he is free another day, Mr. Zheng will come to thank you!"

After listening to Zheng Yiguan's words, Yu Xiaotian will be convinced of what he said. Most of what Zheng Yiguan said should be true, which is also more consistent with the historical records of him, but Yu Xiaotian can guarantee that Zheng Yiguan's words are true and false!

What he said about the Dutch is basically true, but Yu Xiaotian thinks that the purpose of his trip is not necessarily true.

Because according to what he knows about Zheng Yiguan, Li Dan and the Spaniards have a holiday, which is also the reason why Li Dan abandoned Manila to settle in Kyushu, Japan.

Li Dan, as a Japanese leader who is also a thief and a merchant, is also engaged in maritime trade. He is not good with the Spaniards, so now that the Dutch are here, he is naturally willing to cooperate with the Dutch to deal with the Spaniards, which is also the reason why he is willing to help the Dutch.

The Dutch occupied the Penghu Islands in order to let more Chinese businessmen give up doing business with the Spaniards and turn to Penghu to do business with the Dutch. With the ability of the Dutch alone, they can't block such a large sea and force Chinese sea merchants to give up before. Trade with the Spaniards in Manila.

Then the Dutch need someone to help them, and Li Dan is ostensibly a person to mediate. In essence, he should be in collusion with the Dutch to work for the Dutch.
