    Glancing at the door in front of him, Cheng Yu nodded slowly, reached for the door knocker, and knocked gently.  However, there seemed to be no movement inside. Cheng Yu glanced at Zheng Yiguan on the side and patted it hard again.  "Okay, stop patting! If you pat the door again, it will break." An old voice came from inside, slightly impatient, but he still opened the door.  Seeing two people standing at the door, the old man guarding the door was slightly startled. However, when he saw the faces of the two people clearly, the old man suddenly laughed and said: "It turns out that Master Zheng is back. The master was talking about the young master a few days ago. Come in quickly."  !" As Li Dan's godson, Zheng Yiguan often goes in and out of Li's house, and his servants are no stranger to him.  Zheng Yiguan is usually very kind to others, so he is naturally very popular.  "Uncle Cheng, why are you the gatekeeper? Where is Xiao Liuzi?" Zheng Yiguan greeted the old gatekeeper with a smile, took out a piece of silver from his arms and handed it to the old man, and said with a smile: "Let's not do those false gifts.  Come on, I didn¡¯t bring you anything this time. You can take it to drink tea.¡± The old gatekeeper was not polite. This was not the first time. He took the money and said with a smile, ¡°Xiao Liuzi wants it.  Now that I'm a father, I've been away from the house for the past few days. It's natural for the old man to do this. Young Master, you should hurry in! "Zheng Yiguan nodded. He didn't need to go to Li's house.  According to rumors, this is his other home.  When Zheng Yiguan was eighteen years old, he had already left his hometown and went to study with his uncle in Macau.  There he joined the Catholic Church and was named Nicholas.  In the following years, Zheng Yiguan traveled to various parts of Southeast Asia, and later went to the Kyushu Island of Japan.  Because he wanted to learn swordsmanship, Zheng Yiguan married Emperor Weng Yi of Dahaishang in Fujian, and at the same time took Emperor Weng Yi's goddaughter Tian Chuan as his wife. In the same year, Zheng Yiguan became Li Dan's disciple.  Because of his early experiences, Zheng Yiguan has a broad horizon.  He was capable and capable and quickly gained Li Dan's trust.  After several major events, Li Dan liked Zheng Yiguan very much and adopted Zheng Yiguan as his adopted son.  Because his son failed to live up to expectations, Li Dan valued Zheng Yiguan very much and regarded him as his own son.  At this time, looking at Zheng Yiguan in front of him, Li Dan became more and more satisfied.  Thinking of his sons, he could only sigh bitterly.  After a few polite words, Li Dan smiled and said to Zheng Yiguan: "Yiguan, did your trip to Nanjing go well?" "Father, my trip to Nanjing went quite smoothly. I contacted Fang Shihong smoothly.  Fang Shihong's matter has been settled. However, their uprising failed, and I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future. "Zheng Yiguan has always been disapproving of Li Dan's acceptance of Fang Shihong, which will definitely attract criticism from the court.  Zheng Yiguan was also very concerned about the domestic affairs of the Ming Dynasty. He knew that Emperor Tianqi was not an easy emperor to get along with.  The imperial court has been building sea ships, presumably because it has some plans for the sea.  It's better for people like me to keep a low profile, otherwise they are likely to provoke the court.  It's really not worth it to accept Fang Shihong now.  In Zheng Yiguan¡¯s opinion, the sea is so big that people like him can travel across it.  But without the hinterland support of the Ming Dynasty, people like themselves will be in trouble.  After all, whether it is goods or personnel, they mainly come from land. Without this rear area, people like myself are just fish out of water.  Even the most powerful fish cannot survive without water.  The sea is not peaceful now.  In Tianzhu and other places, the fighting between the Dutch, Spanish, and Portuguese devils became increasingly fierce.  No matter from which angle you look at it, the strength of these people is too weak.  If the Ming Dynasty was lost as a safe haven, if something went wrong, people like myself would probably suffer heavy losses.  "Yiguan, I'm very relieved that you can handle the matter. Now that it's done, that's all!" Li Dan understood Zheng Yiguan's views very well.  Zheng Yiguan also told himself, but in Li Dan's opinion, Zheng Yiguan was a little too careful.  The focus of the imperial court in recent years has been on the north.  How can we rashly move the land south of the Yangtze River?  This coastal land is dominated by these maritime merchants.  Fang Shihong represents not one person, but a large number of people.  Even if some of them are purged by the emperor this time, they are still a force that cannot be underestimated.  Now the situation at sea is complicated, various forces are intertwined, and the Dutch have once again occupied Penghu.  Now is the time to recruit all the forces that can be mobilized. How can people like Fang Shihong give up?  Seeing Li Dan perfunctory with him, Zheng Yiguan could only sigh helplessly in his heart.  My old godfather couldn't listen to my own words. I had explained my power to him, but he didn't take it seriously.  However, this person is very stubborn and it is useless no matter what he says.  "Godfather, the matter in Nanjing has come to an end. I don't know where to send the child next? Can he go back to Kyushu?" Zheng Yiguan now wants to return to Kyushu Island. When he came out, the Tagawa family already had  Get out of body?.  For Zheng Yiguan, this is a very important matter.  "The imperial court and the Dutch are negotiating now, and I don't know how the talks are going. I originally thought you could do something in Penghu, but I didn't expect it to end up like this. There is really nothing going on now, so just go back to Kyushu!"  "Li Dan had a bit of bitterness on his face and sighed helplessly.  Now the Dutch are too powerful at sea, and the old Spain and Portugal are no match.  Britain, which was once powerful, is now in such trouble at home that it almost has no time to look outside.  Li Dan naturally doesn't know about these things, but the most powerful maritime force around now is undoubtedly the Dutch.  Since the Dutch occupied Penghu, Li Dan felt that things were not good, and Zheng Yiguan went to Penghu at that time.  Because he was proficient in Dutch, Zheng Yiguan easily became a translator.  But now that the Ming Dynasty was at odds with the Dutch, this translator was of little significance, so he came to Xiamen to find Li Dan.  He nodded slowly, Zheng Yiguan naturally knew about this matter, and it was not suitable for him to return to Penghu now.  I am saying that I am not suitable to stay in Penghu, because it is too restrictive there.  Zheng Yiguan was very excited thinking about his wife who was about to give birth and the career of the Japanese country.  "Okay, I know you want to go back! There will be a ship going to Kyushu in a few days, so you can go back together! But I want to tell you something. Yan Siqi is a man of great ambition and talent. You must be careful when doing things with him.  !" Li Dan took a deep look at Zheng Yiguan, he didn't want his godson to die inexplicably.  There was no change on his face. Zheng Yiguan nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice, "I remember, my godfather, don't worry!" Although he said this, Zheng Yiguan didn't think so in his heart.  Li Dan is already old, and the young master has some entrepreneurial spirit.  Moreover, Zheng Yiguan felt that Li Dan did not have the domineering power to do big things, let alone an accurate vision.  Yan Siqi is different, he is courageous, strategic, and able to make prompt decisions.  As for what Li Dan said about Yan Siqi's ambition but lack of talent, that's because Li Dan didn't believe that Yan Siqi could achieve anything.  But Zheng Yiguan didn't think so. He just felt that Yan Siqi could do it, and he believed in his own vision.  However, Li Dan was doing it for his own good, so Zheng Yiguan would not refute it.  As for persuading Li Dan, Zheng Yiguan had long given up on this idea.  "Go! Go down and have a rest. I will host a banquet for my father in the evening and wash your hands." Li Dan waved his hand. Although Zheng Yiguan pretended to obey, as a veteran, how could Li Dan fail to see that Zheng Yiguan  Not impressed?  The two of them both chose to acquiesce, and no one would expose it. This may be a tacit understanding.  In Beijing, after Emperor Tianqi left, it seemed that it had no impact on the place.  The people live and work in peace and contentment, all officials work normally, and everything is running according to track.  In the duty room of the Military Aircraft Department, Sun Chengzong put down a memorial and gently rubbed his forehead.  Glancing at Duke Dingguo on one side, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Mr. Dingguo, today is almost over. Should we go back?" Glancing at the sunset outside, Sun Chengzong stretched.  It¡¯s time to get off work. It¡¯s been such a tiring day!  Slowly raising his head, Duke Dingguo glanced at Sun Chengzong, shook his head helplessly, and said: "Master Sun is really in good health, I really admire him. Since the emperor left Beijing, all these things have been on us.  "You are so old, and you are so busy all day long, but you are so energetic. I am so much younger than you, but I am very tired." Sun Chengzong has long been accustomed to the way Ding Guogong speaks, and this is true.  The amazing thing about Sun Chengzong.  However, Sun Chengzong was already seventy-seven when he died in battle. He went to the battlefield at the age of seventy-seven. Such an age is really nothing now.  What's more, although Sun Chengzong is tired now, everything goes smoothly and his body is naturally healthier.  "You are just joking, Mr. Guo. You are afraid that I will be tired and have to shoulder most of the official duties. I will remember this sentiment!" Sun Chengzong waved his hand quickly and said with a smile.  "Okay, this is the last memorial! This Mr. Xu wants money again. I don't see him on weekdays. I just come here to ask for money. I came in a hurry today, so I put down the memorial and left. But you still tell me, this  This memorial must be approved today!" Duke Dingguo said as he put the memorial aside.  Sun Chengzong nodded. Although Duke Dingguo said it unintentionally, he was actually talking to himself.  As the Chief and Assistant Minister of Military Aircraft Department, Ding Guogong still had to report some things to Sun Chengzong.  But most of them are in this form, and Sun Chengzong has long been used to it.  "There cannot be a shortage of money in Xu Guangqi's place, and this matter cannot be delayed. All the money he has there belongs to the emperor's inner treasury, just send it to the ceremonial supervisor, and they will give it to you!" Sun Chengzong smiled, this is already a city rule  Something happened.
