The Matsuura family in the Hirato family of the Hirato family of the Hiraki Kingdom was a famous Japanese family. Its history can be traced back to the Heian era (794 AD-1192 AD). The reason why the Matsuura family is famous is closely related to the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, because the Matsuura family was the leader of the "Japanese pirates" that the Ming Dynasty had a headache about!

At first, the Matsuura family organized their navy forces to plunder the coast of the Korean Peninsula just to retaliate against the Yuan Dynasty's invasion. However, after tasting the sweetness, the nature changed. No one would think that there was too much money. Once people had money, they would definitely want more money.

What does it take to make money the fastest? Nothing comes faster than robbing! Therefore, the retaliatory invasion and plunder of North Korea's coast gradually evolved into pure economic plunder of North Korea and the Ming coast. It can be said that the reason why Japanese pirates were prevalent was that the Matsuura family was the culprit.

During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou emerged from nowhere. Going to the coast of Ming Dynasty to plunder was no different from seeking death. The 25th generation governor of the Matsuura clan, Takanobu Matsuura, began to vigorously develop Hirado's foreign trade, and conquered the northern part of the Feiqian Kingdom and the Kuqian Kingdom. He transformed from a pirate leader to a Feiqian Guardian. The popular name for guardian is Daming.

Now the Matsuura family's governor is also called Takanobu Matsuura, but he is not the 25th generation of Matsuura's governor, but he is just the same name. He is already the 27th generation of Matsuura's governor, and Takanobu Matsuura is his grandfather. The name of the Japanese is a bit messy. Grandpa and grandson both call the same name, which makes people confused. Well, the question of the name is not important, so I won't discuss it here. In short, just know that it is such a person.

The Matsuura family's life is not easy now. After the Tokugawa Shogunate unified Japan, it has begun to try every means to crack down on the non-confidant Daming. This Matsuura family is the target of the Tokugawa Shogunate's attack. For example, the Tokugawa Shogunate intends to move from Hirado to Nagasaki. For example, this Hokage Guardian originally came from four ranks (equivalent to a fourth-rank official position), but was forced to be taken from five ranks by the Tokugawa Shogunate...

Just as the Matsuura family focused their main energy on fighting the Tokugawa Shogunate, Zheng Zhilong or Takawa clan came back with Takawa Shizaemon.

It is not a strange thing for a daughter to go home to visit her husband, but the wife of the Nanwang of Daming Town came home to visit her husband was a little loud. There were no less than a hundred Dafu ships escorted by her accompanying her, which scared the defenders of the Hirado clan and thought that the Ming Dynasty was coming to attack Japan!

Fortunately, when the Takawa clan went to that stop, the Hirado clan defended the generals of the Hirado clan were relieved. This famous beauty, the daughter of Lord Yuhuang of Takawa, didn't know anyone. It was not surprising that she married the King of Zhennan of the Ming Dynasty and had such a large-scale fleet escort.

Due to the haste, Zheng Zhilong did not send anyone to notify his father-in-law, so Emperor Yu of Tianchuan didn't know that his daughter was back at all. He was supervising the construction of weapons in the mansion. Although he was nearly 60 years old, he was still in good spirits. The strong physique he had trained through ironwork all year round made him look like a strong man in his forties.

Just as he was staring at the hammer in his servant's hand, an old manager stumbled in and shouted, "Sir, sir, the lady and the young master Sun are back!"

The elderly usually care about their children and grandchildren who are away, and Emperor Yu of Tianchuan is no exception, especially he has only one daughter and his wife, and he faces a bunch of subordinates all day long. The huge mansion does not even have a caring relative, and the loneliness in his heart is indescribable.

So, when he heard that his daughter was back with his grandson, he immediately ran towards the door with his hands and feet. At this moment, he was as excited as a child.

At this time, outside the gate of Takawa Mansion was even more lively than the market. On the road in the middle was a long convoy. Hundreds of soldiers holding muskets stood straight in the walls. Further out there were crowds watching the fun. I was afraid there would be no more than a thousand people, so it was not uncommon to point fingers.

Takawa led Xiaoqi Zaemon and was about to enter the door, but a strong old man had already rushed to the door. It was Takawa Yuhuang who had heard the news. He ran to the door and saw his daughter and grandson, and was stunned for a moment. He stood at the door and watched in a daze, two lines of hot tears slowly poured out of his eyes.

Takawa is still so gentle and virtuous. Although she was excited when she saw her father who was thinking about day and night, she did not forget her etiquette. She first bowed and gave a big gift, and then said gently: "My father, I'm back."

When she gave her salute, her hands loosened. Xiaoqi Zaemon didn't know any etiquette. He ran up and shouted: "Grandpa, grandpa, I'm back."

Emperor Yu of Takawa subconsciously opened his arms, picked up Xiaoqi Zaemon who was rushing up, and murmured: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back."

The Takawa family let their grandparents keep warm for a while, then walked up and reminded him gently: "My father, let's talk about it before going in."

Emperor Yu of Tianchuan found that he was blocking the door and couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, okay, go in and talk, go in and talk."

After saying that, he turned around and walked in with Koqia Zaemon in his arms.

Takawa waved his hand gently to the back, and then followed with a smile. A team of personal guards followed quickly, while the others began to move the gifts to the mansion.

Although Emperor Yu of Takawa was not the biggest retainer of the Matsuura family, the nature of his work determined that Takawa's mansion was definitely small. It took a lot of space to turn sand, smel and build weapons. He held his grandson and chatted with his daughter while chatting about family matters. He walked for about a quarter of an hour before he arrived at his formal residence.

After entering the residence, Emperor Yuhuang of Takawa was slightly relieved. He was about to arrange for scare people to prepare a big meal for his daughter and grandson, but Takawa raised his hand to stop him and said, "Sir, don't worry, I have something to say to you."

Emperor Takawa had no objection. He held Xiaoqi Zaemon and knelt down on this person, laughing and said, "Okay, let's talk for a while."

Takawa first waved his leave and then walked to the door and gave a questioning look at the accompanying guards. After the captain of the guard nodded affirmatively, she carefully closed the door and turned around and said softly in Chinese: "My father, husband is here too."

When Emperor Yu of Takawa almost jumped up from the ground after hearing this, he was not an ordinary person. The prince of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be even bigger than the shogunate general in Japan. Now that he is here, he is afraid that he will ask the head of the Matsuura family to welcome him together.

Seeing that he wanted to get up and walk out, Takawa quickly raised his hand and said, "My father, husband, he doesn't want people to know that he is here."

Emperor Yu of Tianchuan was stunned when he heard this and asked in surprise: "I came but I don't want people to know that he is here. What's going on?"

Takawa explained patiently: "Because he wants to do something big, it will be inconvenient for people to know that he is here."

Emperor Yu of Tianchuan was even more strange: "What big thing can't people know?"

Takawa stared at his father and said seriously: "He wants to help his father seize the position of guardian of Feiqian."

When Emperor Yu of Tianchuan heard this, he was stunned. He was guarding the fat front. He had never thought about this issue. He was just a blacksmith, not even a warrior, and he had no soldiers under his command. He never dreamed of the guardian position! He suddenly heard that his son-in-law was going to help him as Daming.

He was stunned for a long time before he stammeringly said, "This, this, let me be a big name?"

Takawa nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, my father will not only be the daimyo of Himemae and Iki, but also the daimyo of Kyushu. In the end, you will also become the shogunate general!"

He had never thought about Daming, let alone the shogunate general. A daming was actually equivalent to a county magistrate of the Ming Dynasty. The power of the shogunate general in Japan was equivalent to that of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The county magistrate had never thought about this. Now that he was asked to be the emperor, Emperor Yu of Takawa felt that he was a little too stupid. What was the situation?

Kokizaemon is different. The so-called ambition is not as high as he is. Since he was three or four years old, he has already fantasized about being a shogunate general. Now when he heard his mother say something about the shogunate general, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I want to be a shogunate general."

As soon as these words were said, Yuhuang Takawa's face turned pale. He quickly covered Xiaoqi Zaemon's mouth, glanced around nervously, and said in horror: "My little ancestor, don't shout so loudly, it's amazing to be heard."

Takawa glared at Kochizaemon gently and continued, "My father, how many retainers do the Matsuura family have higher status than you?"

How many retainers have higher status than him? He has become much higher than him. If it weren't for the benefit of his son-in-law, he would be the last among the retainers. Other retainers would have led troops, and he would have had a bunch of blacksmiths under him. How high could his status be?

He thought for a while, shook his head and said, "If you want to talk about your true status, as long as you are a retainer, you will have a higher status than me. I am just a fame."

After hearing this, Takawa said seriously: "Then please write down the names and addresses of all the retainers of Matsuura, and your husband will help you clear these obstacles."

Cleaning it up? Emperor Yu of Tianchuan was shocked. Those were his colleagues. How could they do this after decades of friendship? He said unhappily: "What does the official want to do? The head of the Matsuura family treats him well, and he knows most of the retainers. Everyone has been in friendship for decades, why do they do this?"

It’s not clear why Tianchuan didn’t know. She was just here to pass the message. If she insisted on explaining, there would be only one reason. She said helplessly: “My husband has no choice, this is the emperor’s will.”

When Emperor Yu of Tianchuan finally understood something, he scolded: "Emperor? Are you talking about Emperor Chongzheng of the Ming Dynasty? Is it the Ming Dynasty's idea to attack us in Japan? How can you help outsiders deal with your country!"

Takawa has always been very gentle and has never contradicted his father. However, this time she retorted firmly: "My father, we are all descendants of the Han people. The Ming Dynasty is not an outsider, but Japan is the only one. When your husband was about to rebel, you didn't object, why can't you figure it out now?"

When Emperor Yu of Tianchuan heard this, he immediately became discouraged. He said dejectedly: "You can't kill all your old friends for decades in order to become the Ming Dynasty, right?"

Seeing that his father's attitude had changed, Takawa quickly hit the railway while it was hot: "Don't worry about those things, let your husband do it. Look, Mori'er will be the King of Zhennan in the Ming Dynasty in the future, but Kokizaezuemon can only inherit your position as a vassal. Isn't this unfair to him?"

Yuhuang Takawa looked at Xiaoqi Zaemon lovingly. Yes, although Zheng Sen is not an outsider, Xiaoqi Zaemon was adopted by the Takawa clan. One is his grandson and the other is his grandson. How can his grandson be wronged?
