The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Zheng Zhilong was silent for a moment.

The Da'ei imperial court stationed troops, immigrated to Dongfan Island, established counties, and incorporated it into the government's governance, which really made him angry.

After all, that was the maritime business he had run together with Li Dan and Yan Siqi when he was young.

Although later when the Zheng family became truly prosperous, they relied on maritime trade and collection of protection fees. The income from growing crops, sugarcane and other industries on Dongfan Island, and trading furs with the natives, accounted for a small amount of the Zheng family's total annual income.

But after all, it is a relatively stable industry.

Especially after the Zheng family returned to Dawei and could no longer collect protection fees from the southeast sea area, the industry on Dongfan Island became more important.

Therefore, when he first learned that the Da'ei court was going to develop Dongfan Island, he was so angry that he wanted to withdraw directly to the sea and return to his old business.

With these buildings, the Dutch firmly dominated the Daguang area in the past few years.

But he did not expect that the imperial court would take action against the Dutch so soon.

After reading it, he couldn't help but smile and pat the table, "Okay! The imperial court is finally going to take action against Chikan City!"

In the Ming Dynasty, the entire island was called Dongfan Island, and Dayuan was the Han people's name for the area near Taiwowanshe in the southwest of the island.

As for the Tibetan people who were influenced by the Dutch, it is difficult to count.

Zheng Zhilong added: "I will pretend that I have never been to this island today. Mr. Song, please go back to Nanyang."

If you do this now, you are courting death.

"Your Majesty, the Fujian Telecommunications Group has forwarded good news. The senior officer has been captured!"

Considering that the imperial court's development of Dongfan Island will definitely expel the Dutch, the former rivals of the Zheng family, the Zheng family will also benefit from the increased immigration and land reclamation.

Qianyuan six years, October 17th.

In addition, the interest dispute between the Zheng family and the Dutch on the island was not too big, and castles such as Chihan City were relatively difficult to defeat, so he never took action against the Dutch.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong turned coldly and said: "The imperial court will set up a county on Dongfan Island and increase the intensity of immigration and land reclamation, which is exactly what I want."

Although the victory of the senior officials was expected, Liu Sheng was still interested in understanding the general process and results.

"What you say about occupying my Zheng family's inheritance is just to sow discord. I won't be fooled. Mr. Song should give up on this idea."

Zheng Zhilong immediately opened the letter and read it.

Zheng Zhilong had foreseen this.

As for the imperial court's immigration to Dongfan Island, although it was greater than that of the Zheng family, it was just like that. It would take at least several years to really form the basis for rule.

Is there a letter from Hongkui?

They even deliberately provoked conflicts between the Tibetan people and the Han people on the island so that they could drive the Han people to work at a lower cost.

Nanjing, Forbidden City.

In addition, the Dutch are better at doing business. They used some policies in the early years to attract many people who had migrated to Dongfan Island after the Zheng family and worked for them.

But after calming down a little, he gave up the idea.

Speaking of which, Damei had only intervened in the immigration and reclamation of Dongfan Island the year before last, and he had not had any major conflicts with the Dutch in the past two years.

"Master, there is a letter from Third Master."

But since Da'ei wanted to establish a county on Dongfan Island and then bring the entire island under the formal governance of the imperial court, naturally he could not keep the Dutch.

The "history" of Chikan City in Dayuan is even longer. It originated from a stronghold and warehouse built by the Dutch in Dayuan more than 20 years ago.

However, the formal construction of the city in Dayuan by the Dutch began ten years ago.

If we say that when the Zheng family just returned to Dawei a few years ago, he took the Zheng family and evacuated to the sea, there was still some possibility of continuing to be the pirate king.

Immediately pick up the battle report and read it.

Nowadays, Chiqian City and many nearby gun towers and bastions have been built for seven or eight years.

Chikan City is the homophonic transliteration of the ancient southern Fujian word "Red Mao City".

After looking at it, I discovered that the telegram did not reveal much about the combat process.

This refers to the city of Geranje built by the Dutch in Dajuan.

Even he himself didn't want to go back to the life of a pirate.

The land battle to attack castles such as Relanja City was commanded by Zhang Shijie, commander of the Third Brigade of the First Division.

Zheng Zhilong felt that this tone was still bearable.

Song Zhipu was stunned, never expecting Zheng Zhilong to say that.

Although Zheng Zhilong hates the Dutch, he is also angry with the fellow Fujianese who were deceived.

According to his understanding, the Dutch only have a few hundred soldiers in total, and even if other "civilians" are included, the number is only one or two thousand.

In order to deal with these people, Dayei sent a brigade of Hailongwei, a brigade of Nanhai Division, and a brigade of the First Division of the Standing Army.

Liu Sheng's expression was calm.

It is difficult to verify when the Han people from the mainland first came to Dongfan Island to open up wasteland and colonize.

But this is a good thing for Zheng.

This city was located in the northern part of Dongfan Island. It was later destroyed, and the Spanish gave up their plan to continue building the city on Dongfan Island.

Now, in less than two years, the court is preparing to expel the Dutch, which is indeed a bit abnormal.

Apart from anything else, most of the Zheng family generals in the past have now become senior generals of various naval forces in Dawei. Who has a family and a career, who is willing to follow him to the sea to become a pirate?

I am afraid that not only the generals with the foreign surname are not willing, but also the Zheng clan members may not be willing.

The main reason is that the Yi army is too strong and cannot be competed by Zheng's sea trade bodyguards (private army).

Liu Sheng was processing the memorial in Tianxin Hall, and Zhang Jiayu brought a telegram with a happy face.

There are not only Western warships equipped with dozens of cannons, but also new types of ironclad ships with more powerful artillery and muskets.

Even the naval combat ability of the soldiers, which was previously considered a shortcoming, has been almost made up for after several years of training.

On the other hand, there were quite a few Han people under its administration, as many as 20,000 to 30,000 people.

The two maintained a generally peaceful state with occasional friction on Dongfan Island.

However, it was the Spanish who first built a city on Dongfan Island - about twenty years ago (1628).

Even though he has been away from the Yi Army for several years, there are many people from the Zheng family serving as generals in the Yi Army, so he now knows the strength of the Yi Army Navy very well.

Zheng Zhilong immediately wrote back and told Zheng Hongkui that if Hailongwei participated in the war, he would strive to lead the army...

More than two months later.

After saying that, Zheng Zhilong didn't care what Song Zhipu's reaction was, and boarded the ship directly back to Zhongzuo Town.

Is that really the case, and his struggle in the past few decades has not been in vain?

As for the matter of Dongfan Island, Qi Guiqi, but the Da'ei court did not go too far - although the court established counties, the Zheng family's fields and other foundations on Dongfan Island still belong to the Zheng family, but From now on, you have to pay taxes according to regulations.

Not long after returning to the mansion, the butler brought a letter.

When he came to his senses he wanted to say something more.

With Damei's firepower configuration, 30,000 to 40,000 people went to attack the generals. It would be strange if they couldn't take them down.

But after suppressing Zheng's sugar cane cultivation, fur trading and other industries on the island, the Dutch showed their true colors and became increasingly harsh on the Han people who worked for them.

According to what he said, he probably used a cannon to blast a barrel, and then took the opportunity to have someone use yellow explosives to blow down the castle gate. The Dutch could no longer bear it and surrendered.

Except for a few unlucky ones who died during the shelling phase, most of the Dutch soldiers disarmed on the spot and became prisoners.

As for the high-ranking Dutch workers, priests, businessmen, down-and-out nobles and other non-combatants, there was no resistance and they all surrendered.
