Roads have been carved out, living areas and planting areas have been carved out. New villages were also built. The Han Chinese who had been transported from the horse-selling passages were populated into these new villages. And take on the important task of guiding the natives to learn farming!

However, each village is small, but it occupies a large area of arable land and woodland. They live with the natives, subtly influencing them, so that their life trajectory is slowly and thoroughly integrated into the life of the Han people.

The number of people in each village is small, but the amount of arable land reserved is very large. This is Liu Pei's reserve set aside in advance. Liu Pei now has very few civilians under his rule, and he is simply unable to support a huge army. He had to settle in large numbers to build an army strong enough to dominate the Central Plains. Those villages will be filled with migrants in the future.

In this way, it took Liu Pei and Fang Degang nearly two years to completely consolidate their rule over northern Taiwan. As for the Dutch in the south, Liu Pei did not want to deal with them for the time being. He also needed the Dutch to transport their goods to Europe.

Liu Pei was arranging Taiwan's affairs, and as soon as he came to Zhenhai City, he received two pieces of news, one of which was from Wu Yizhou. With the cooperation of the Intelligence Bureau and the surrendered pirates, Wu Yizhou had completely strangled Zheng Zhilong's men. The remaining neutral pirates don't know how to respond. Send someone to ask Liu Pei.

The other is the news from the Intelligence Bureau. Quanzhou's Daming Naval Division seems to be preparing to attack Liu Pei. This news made Liu Pei a little confused? Liu Pei doesn't think he provoked Daming? Why did it suddenly come out that the Quanzhou sailor was going to do it? So he hurriedly ordered the Intelligence Bureau to send more detailed information.

The follow-up intelligence of the intelligence bureau was timely. The current Daming is almost like a sieve up and down. The Intelligence Bureau only spent a few dollars to get detailed information.

It turned out that after the news of Zheng Zhilong's defeat came back, half of Jiangnan was shaken! You must know that many local maritime merchants have placed their bets on Zheng Zhilong. After all, Zheng Zhilong took over Li Dan's position, which made many maritime businessmen think that Zheng Zhilong was a sure winner. So in Zheng Zhilong proposed

When it came time to rent some ships and sailors, they readily agreed!

But what they didn't expect was that what they were waiting for was the news that Zheng Zhilong was defeated and died! And even their own ships and sailors were folded in! This news made those sea merchants furious. They could afford to lose some silver, but losing so many skilled sailors and ships was a big problem! After all, sea ships are their roots!

Moreover, their own side has suffered such a large loss, and it is impossible to conduct sea trade in a short period of time, which is unacceptable to them. The most important thing is that they are in awe of Li Dan, but they don't have a good impression of Zheng Zhilong and Liu Pei. They all think they're just lucky boys who have gone shit luck!

Zheng Zhilong said that he had inherited Li Dan's family business, and he had many people and ships in his hands, so he would inevitably be a dominant figure at sea in the future. Therefore, lending a few sea boats is considered a good fate in advance!

But what are you a red-eyed dragon king? It's just a freshly launched clump of fish! As the so-called cutting off people's financial routes, it is like killing parents! Therefore, a group of maritime merchants scraped together a large sum of money to honor the government and asked the sailors to go out to exterminate Liu Pei. But they invariably concealed Zheng Zhilong's losses.

Although the sluggish government also learned the news of Liu Zheng's war. But they are self-righteous and think that the winning side is also a pyrrhic victory, and there is nothing to worry about at all! Therefore, after receiving the silver, the local government naturally sent Quanzhou sailors to encircle and suppress the pirates.

Wang Desheng, the staff general of the Quanzhou Water Division, was the unlucky ghost who was assigned! Wang Desheng had just walked out of the governor's yamen. He stood outside the yamen and looked up at the sky, the weather was good! But in this not hot weather, he still sweated profusely! The reason is simple, it is scared!

Because not long ago, he received an order from the governor to rush to the governor's yamen. At that time, Wang Desheng felt that his left eyelid was jumping! Sure enough, when he arrived at the governor's yamen, he received a task that made him tremble, that is, to exterminate the giant red-eyed dragon king on the sea!

If the governor does not know what is actually happening on the sea. So Wang Desheng not only knows the situation at sea well, but also sees it thoroughly. As a naval general, if you don't know anything about the sea,

Then he is remiss in his duties. What's more, he himself has a way to the sea.

But it was because he knew too well that he was scared out of a sweat! As one of the insiders of Liu Zheng's war, Wang Desheng understands the actual situation. Because he once sold Zheng Zhilong a batch of artillery, guns and other weapons. In addition, he also lent Zheng Zhilong five warships. There are also many sailors who do odd jobs under Zheng Zhilong. Of course, this battle is basically dead. However, those who fled back clearly described the whole battle to him. Wang Desheng has long known that the rise of the Red-Eyed Dragon King is already unstoppable.

The sailors who had escaped back described to him in detail the strength of the fleet of the Red-Eyed Dragon King. In particular, the horror of the new warship is depicted! The overwhelming artillery fire has never forgotten them to this day! Therefore, Wang Desheng didn't believe that he could win against the Red-eyed Dragon King at all. Originally, he planned to be like Li Dan, and the well water on both sides would not interfere with the river water, but the governor's order forced him into a corner.

If he went to war, with the ships of the Quanzhou Naval Division that had not been repaired for many years, and the soldiers who had little morale, Wang Desheng did not feel that he had a chance of winning. And regardless of the victory or defeat, if he annoys this imposing pirate, if he comes to attack the city a few times, his head may not be saved!

When Wang Desheng returned home, he immediately sent someone to call Mr. Bookkeeper. This bookkeeper helps him do accounts on weekdays, and he also helps him with ideas part-time, and he can be regarded as a military advisor. Therefore, Wang Desheng relies on him very much, and he will inform him of major and small affairs.

As soon as the bookkeeper entered the door, he saw Wang Desheng sitting on a chair with a sad face, and asked, "Boss, what's wrong with you?" Could it be that there is something difficult about going to the governor's place this time, and I can't explain it? ”

Wang Desheng sighed and said, "It's really very difficult! If there is a mistake, I can't say that this life will be confessed! ”

At that moment, Wang Desheng told the governor what he had explained. The bookkeeper was also frowning when he heard this. Now that the governor has already given an explanation, he must do it. Wang Desheng, a small general, can't stand up to the governor!
