MTL - Han’s Son is Not a Slave-Chapter 1171 Tagawa returns home

The ronin's name is Ohara Sawa Taro, the owner of a bankrupt handicraft workshop in the Japanese Matsuma Domain. Reading at zero

Six years ago, Ohara and the ronin in his hometown were recruited by Zheng Zhilong's second son, Tianchuan Qizaemon. However, because his skills were not very strong, and he was also a little afraid of death, he failed to enter Tianchuan's guards for several years. The warriors of the Zheng family may have been chosen as guards by a big figure in the Zheng family, but have been working as sailors in the Zheng family fleet.

Sailors and boatmen were the lowest and the hardest in the Zheng's army. The composition of these people was very complex. There were fishermen and farmers recruited from the coast by the Zheng family, pirates and merchant mariners captured by them, and some others. It is a Japanese such as Xiaoyuan who was taken in by the Zheng family because of bankruptcy or a crime.

Just as the Ming army valued family members and regarded other soldiers as "cannon fodder", the Zheng family also regarded those low-level sailors and chores as "cannon fodder". If they wanted to escape the fate of cannon fodder, they had to fight for themselves. If they refuse to give their lives, they can only live a life of darkness, no future and no hope on the ship.

After Zheng's navy joined the Taiping Army under the leadership of Zheng Mingjun and Zheng Zanxu's uncle and nephew, it was reorganized into the Donghai Navy. The Japanese and red-haired ghosts in the army faced the situation of being demobilized, but then the Taiping Army recruited them and offered attractive rewards. Most of them chose to stay in the navy army because they had nowhere to go.

Although they are not regarded as regular troops, at least they will not be hungry. More importantly, this time the Taiping Army has given them hope, provided they are willing to work hard and fight.

The young man Xiaoyuan called "Jun Zheng" was called Zheng Qi. In terms of blood, he was considered a member of the Zheng family, but he was far away. There are thousands of Zheng family members, and it is impossible to take care of everyone surnamed Zheng, so Zheng Qi has been messing around in the class of sailors and ronin. Because of his surname Zheng, he was appointed as the team leader and had 13 subordinates, of which 2 were Japanese and 1 was a red-haired ghost.

The "Headhunting Order" is another military merit award order issued two days ago after the "Four Seal Order".

The "Headhunting Order", in addition to supplementing the "Future Order", clearly defines the level of military merit and rewards. It is also mentioned above that if the Japanese and the red-haired ghost can obtain the head of the Hu people in the north, then not only can they use the head in exchange for the high reward given by the Taiping Army. , you can also apply to the Taiping Army to become a citizen of the Ming Dynasty with your head.

Once they were allowed to become the citizens of the Ming Dynasty, Xiaoyuan and the others could have all the rights of the citizens of the Ming Dynasty, including allocating land, taking the imperial examinations, becoming official officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and the right to do business and trade in the Ming Dynasty.

The specific rights are determined according to the number of heads, that is, the more heads of Hu people hunted, the more non-Chinese people such as Xiaoyuan can enjoy the treatment of people of the Ming Dynasty, even if they do not want to become Da Mingzi People can also engage in unimaginable trade activities in the Ming Dynasty based on their military merits. This, in the past, was strictly forbidden.

In Zheng Qi's team, only three are from overseas, and the rest are from Daming. Although before that, most of them were reluctant to admit their identity as citizens of the Ming Kingdom, and even made up their names and places of origin, in order to prevent the officials from knowing what they had committed outside and implicate their families. After all, the predecessors of the Zheng's Navy were pirates. If Zheng Zhilong had not been recruited back then, the Zheng family would have been the largest pirate organization in the Ming Dynasty. Its influence is not even worse than that of the Japanese plague. You must know that the main force of the Japanese plague was all from the Ming Dynasty. Those so-called real Japanese were nothing more than thugs hired by the pirates of the Ming Dynasty.

The Han people value the countryside and never leave their hometown if they have to. Therefore, a small number of Han people who beg for food at sea are forced to make a living, but most of them are outlaws, and there are people who have been killed in their hometowns.

The promulgation of the "Soil Sealing Order" and "Headhunting Order" made these Han people who had scruples in the past no longer had to worry about, and also gave those Japanese and red-haired ghosts the opportunity to change their fate, and naturally won their sincere support. .

Zheng Qi told Xiaoyuan and the other Japanese with certainty, as well as the red-haired ghost named Billy, that the military order must be true, no doubt, but whether they can get what they want from it depends on them. If it's the same as before, then no matter how good the reward is, it won't be with them.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zheng, I will definitely go through fire and water for the Ming Dynasty!"

Xiaoyuan also wanted to reconfirm the authenticity of "Headhunting Order", and he actually believed it in his heart. He speaks Chinese well, more fluent than his other companion, Jiu Mu.

The red-haired ghost Billy put down the job he had licked clean, and burped and smiled: "The commander of the Taiping Army is the new conqueror of the East. I have never doubted the words of the strong."

God knows how this red-haired ghost Billy learned a Hokkien accent. If it weren't for Zheng Qi or a Hokkien~www.novelbuddy.com~ I'm afraid I wouldn't understand what this red-haired ghost said.

"Jun Zheng, when can we get on the boat? I can't wait, Sodisnai."

Ohara asked with concern that the crusade against the Hu people in Manzhou was the unanimous voice of all Japanese people, including the shogun, even if he was a low-level person among the ronin, he also hated the Manchu people. This time, he has made up his mind that he must show his performance in the battle to attack the Hu people in Manchuria and defend China with his life.

"Jun Xiaoyuan is in a hurry, and I'm in a hurry, but we have to wait for the order. This, Mr. Xiaoyuan has worked hard." Zheng Qi laughed and handed the bowl in his hand to Xiaoyuan.

"Hayi, it is a great honor to serve Zheng Jun."

Xiaoyuan took a little bit of his waist and was very happy to wash it. Seeing Xiaoyuan's back, Zheng Qi nodded with satisfaction.

At the same time that Zheng Qi admired Xiaoyuan, a boat sailed to Baimao Town on the south bank, and then a group of people dressed in Japanese costumes disembarked from the boat, led by the Taiping army personnel who had been waiting for a long time, they went respectfully. His Royal Highness the King of Qi in the Ming Dynasty.

At the front of the team was the second son of Zheng Zhilong, Tagawa Qizaemon, who had just returned from the Japanese country, and walking alongside him was an old man with white hair, who was the only person in the entire team wearing Ming Dynasty costumes. This person's name was Zhu Zhiyu, and his nickname was "Shun Shui".

"Second son, Mr. Shunshui, please come with me. King Qi has been waiting for you for a long time."

The one who came out to meet Tianchuan was Zheng Quan, a representative sent by the Prince of Fujian, Zheng Xi, who was also Zheng Zhilong's cousin.

"Uncle Thirteen!"

This was the second time Tian Chuan saw Zheng Quan again. The last time was twelve years ago. Zhu Zhiyu and Zheng Quan nodded to show their courtesy, and then they and their entourage were taken to King Qi's tent by Zheng Quan. 8)
