In September 1627, the governor of Taiwan changed its name to its current name by order of the head office of Amsterdam, but the Ming people have always called it Taiwan City; Its town is called Dayuan Town, which is located in the southeast. The city of Gerancha and the town of Dayuan are collectively known as Dayuan, and Dayuan is sometimes used as a synonym for Taiwan.

Despite the stronghold of the Dutch in Geranza, only a small number of Dutch and their slaves actually lived in the city, and outside the city lived in and around the town of Dayuan, all of them were Ming people.

As early as the beginning of the Dutch's construction of the city, they did everything possible to recruit many Ming people from the coastal areas of Fujian, who not only helped them build the city, but also cultivated land outside the city, planted grain and sold it to the Dutch.

It is these scattered villages outside the city that allow the Dutch to gain a foothold here, but these villages are not ruled by the Dutch, but by other rulers, as usual, after getting up, He Bin has been in charge of the management of the village community in the "yamen" as usual, as a warden, he has been in charge of the management of the Dayuan village community for the past ten years.

said that he was a guard, but in fact he was the parent official of 60,000 immigrants, but this official had no grade, which always made He Bin a little regretful.

"I don't know, when will I be able to put on the black veil, put on the official robe, and glorify the ancestors!"

When dealing with things, He Bin secretly thought to himself in his heart.

"It's been ten years! It's been ten years! Could it be that Zheng Zhilong forgot his original promise? ”

Thinking of this, He Bin was upset. In the third year of Chongzhen, the drought in Fujian was extremely serious, "the price of grain surged, the rice was 100 yuan, the hunger carried the road, and the death was rampant", a large number of displaced people appeared, and the society was in turmoil. Zheng Zhilong suggested to Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, that the hungry people should be recruited to go to Taiwan to reclaim the famine, each of them should be given three taels of silver, and the three of them should be given a cow, and they should be carried to Taiwan by sea boat for reclamation.

After all, these hungry people were all people of the Ming Dynasty, and they were moved to Taiwan by the Fujian governor's organization, which is a typical official behavior. Although the immigrants are also concentrated in Tainan, even around the city of Geranza. But the village community was under the control of the Ming Dynasty, or Zheng Zhilong, and He Bin was appointed as a "left-behind" at that time, a position that was almost equivalent to the parent officials of these immigrants, but this so-called "left-behind officer" was not appointed by the imperial court.

And He Bin, who has been a "big man staying behind" for ten years, is a little upset, because Zheng Zhilong has not fulfilled his promise until now - to recommend him to the court as an official.

In fact, He Bin knew that the reason why Zheng Zhilong suggested recruiting hungry people to Taiwan to reclaim the famine was naturally his selfishness, and he was born as a pirate, worried that one day the imperial court would investigate his old crimes, so he needed Taiwan as a retreat, and on the other hand, he needed to maintain trade with the Dutch, and the Dutch wanted nothing more than a few strongholds, and it was more convenient to cultivate around Dayuan.

The fact is also that until Zheng Zhilong was captured by the Manchus, the Dutch did not have the authority to dictate to the Han Chinese in Taiwan. In the second year of Longwu, Zheng Zhilong was deceived into surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, and was immediately escorted to Jingshi, and the Han village community on Taiwan Island was leaderless before being defeated and suppressed by the Dutch. Later, by the time Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan, the Han village community had been ruled by the Dutch for more than ten years.

He Bin, who is now taking care of this "self-reserved land" for the Zheng family, of course, cannot be appointed as an official by the imperial court, and setting up an "official mansion" is equivalent to giving Taiwan to the imperial court! This obviously goes against Zheng Zhilong's original intention.

Just when He Bin was upset, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and then someone shouted again.

"Master, master, the big thing is not good, it is not good, the court, the court has sent troops to attack, and the big man has been attacked!"

He Bin, who heard the sound, hurriedly rushed to the door and said in surprise.

"What!"

The imperial court sent troops to attack the big man!

How is this possible?

When He Bin was surprised, Paul Duratinius, the chief officer of the Dutch East India Company in the city of Geranza, was staring at the huge fleet on the sea with a stunned expression.

The fleet consisted of sixteen warships, all of which were the most commonly used "bird boats" of the Ming people, and these ships were quietly moored at a distance of about 1,500 yards from the city of Geranza, which was not close or far, and although the artillery could hit there, there was almost no accuracy at all, and even if it was barely hit, it would not bring fatal damage.

Maybe that's why they parked the boat there.

"It's a Ming countryman!"

"Why are they here?"

The Dutch on the city walls all exchanged ears. ”

Just as they were talking to each other, and for some reason, they saw a small boat on the fleet, and when the boat approached, they were somewhat surprised to find that it was actually a European missionary sitting on the boat.

How could there be missionaries in Europe? What's going on?

Soon, the Dutch in the city knew what he was coming from. The priest in front of him, who was a priest of the Dominican Order of San Salvador, had come here to give him an ultimatum on the orders of General Mingguo.

The city of San Salvador has been taken by the Ming people!

Leo of Pol, that guy actually surrendered!

Not only did he surrender, but he even came with the Ming people to fight the big soldiers!

This damn guy!

How could he have surrendered!

God can testify that Paul had been planning an attack on San Salvador, and that he was bent on uprooting the Spanish stronghold in Taiwan, and that his garrison was now focused on more than 1,000 Dutch soldiers in preparation for the attack on San Salvador. But he never imagined that someone would take the city of San Salvador before him, and even that gang would be killed under the city.

God can testify that this is an insult to the Netherlands, the city of San Salvatore is Dutch, at least it has been targeted by him, especially the Dutch, and now the Ming people have not only taken it, but even ordered them to reply within two hours whether to surrender or not.

"Two hours! I can tell you the answer right now! You go back and tell that damn grandson, tell the people of the Ming Kingdom! ”

Paul Duradinius roared.

"Nope! The Dutch would never have surrendered as shamefully as the Spaniards! If he wants to take over the big man, he must step on my body! ”

"That's right, tell those Ming people that as long as we are still breathing, the big man will never be down!"

The commander's angry rebuke made the surrounding Dutch officers all roar with excitement, and they seemed that the two-hour ultimatum, where was the ultimatum, was clearly humiliating them. In this moment, all of them wanted to prove themselves, as well as the honor of the Dutch, by fighting.

"Major, this will only increase the casualties in vain, you should see that the fleet sent by the Ming people is huge, and I have seen a large number of artillery on their ships, all of them are more than twelve pounder cannons, and there are hundreds of them!"

Louis, as a priest, still tried to persuade Paul Duratinius to give up resistance, and in his opinion, perhaps Paul Duradius, the Dutch, who called themselves "Protestants", were heretics who turned their backs on God, but they were still Europeans, they were white, and he didn't want the other side to die here in vain.

"Haha, priest, they are just Ming people, maybe they are stronger than the barbarians of Southeast Asia, but they will definitely not be able to conquer the city of Geranza, even if the strongest army in Europe wants to conquer this fortress, it will take at least a year!"

Out of confidence in the fortress, Paul Duradinius looked at the priest in front of him, then stood up and said in a loud voice.

"Priest, go and tell the Ming people that the pride of the Dutch makes us never surrender to them, if he wants to occupy this place, unless he steps on our corpses!"

After getting the Dutchman's reply from the priest, Sun Jinghe's face actually flashed with a hint of joy, this, this is a good thing!

They actually want to resist to the end, this is a military feat sent to the door!

"General, what now?"

"What to do!"

Sun Hejing shouted excitedly.

"Of course it's a hit! I haven't heard of what it means to be an army, and chickens and dogs are not left! ”
