Ruixing Yinhao's income is very good, looking at Chen Xing, the shopkeeper who tried to deal with Yan Changwu before, he roughly counted the family property and 50,000 taels of silver, as well as real estate, which is almost better than most of the Chinese people.

With Chen Hebin's current rise in Ruixing Yin, it is only a matter of time before he becomes the sole manager of the shopkeeper, and his income is predictable and proper.

Joining Beigang, the income immediately declined and it didn't count, the key is that you may still be scared, although the future looks considerable, but the risk is huge, after all, Yan Changwu is only fifteen years old!

But Chen Hebin still decided to join, joined without hesitation, and was immediately welcomed by Chen Xinji, entrusted with important tasks, running around, eager to give birth to three heads and six arms, and couldn't figure out why there were so many affairs in Beigang!

To give full play to his strengths, he has to check the accounts of all previous expenditures and establish an effective auditing and accounting team.

In the early days of the grass-roots creation, the military and the government were not separated, the army's accounts had to be seen, and local expenditures had to be examined, Chen Xinji had been suffering from the lack of such talents, Chen Hebin said that he wanted to join, it was because he threw himself into the net, who would do it if he didn't do it, but not many people would do it.

As for the fear that he is in Cao Ying's heart in Han, don't worry at all, Yan Changwu said that anyone who sees the prospects of our career and wants to leave, then he is really short-sighted!

And Yan Changwu is not a vegetarian, the defense of Beigang is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the government must approve it when going to sea, and those who come in are monitored by the police, which is completely impeccable.

……

With the passage of time, the training of the Beigang soldiers gradually improved, they knew how to use weapons to attack the enemy, and also initially carried out some tactical coordination, and the troops were full of fighting spirit, and they also welcomed the enemy, just like drowsiness meets a pillow.

The harvest in Beigang is imminent, the fruits of rice and corn are pressed heavily on the rice stalks and branches, and the sweet potato and potato crops are tall and vigorous, because the land in Beigang is fertile, the sun is strong, and the water and fertilizer are abundant, and this year's harvest is expected to be very good.

Taiwan is located overseas, there have always been many typhoons, but this year is the wind and rain, the sky is beautiful (everyone is saying that Yan Changwu has the blessing of Mazu Niangniang), wind and rain for the agricultural harvest is minimal.

The area reclaimed in Beigang is also large, and when you think about the income, all the people are happy.

And it attracted robbers!

On the morning of August 23, the gong suddenly sounded from the guard tower of Beigang Wharf, and then two plumes of smoke rose up, which lifted the hearts of all the Beigang people who saw it!

Yan Changwu received the alarm and knew that there was a strong enemy invasion, so he immediately ordered to assemble his troops, and he took more than ten horsemen to the dock area to see what was going on.

When he went up to the tower, Chen Xinji and Hong Sheng were there, and the two handed him the telescope (bought from Macau) to see!

The Dutch are coming!

Two large sail ships!

The warships of that period were wooden hull structures, equipped with sails, powered by the wind, equipped with smoothbore guns, and capable of firing solid bullets, which were three-masted cross-sail warships.

The bow and stern design of the ship is relatively narrow, and generally only one or two light guns can be installed, and the main guns are generally installed on both sides of the battleship, and fire through the holes opened on both sides, this arrangement directly affects the tactics of naval warfare: the flank is facing the enemy in a long line from end to end, which is more conducive to the development of a fleet firepower, so that half of the guns of each battleship can shoot at the enemy.

In the telescope, the arriving battleship has a gun deck (that is, a row of gun ports on the hull wall), plus the guns on the deck, there are about 40 guns, which is equivalent to a fifth-class battleship.

Sail battleships are divided into grades, and first, second, and third class battleships can be called battleships,

The first level has three decks with a total of 100 or more guns;

The second level also has three decks with a total of about 90 guns;

The third class, or the load ship in the combat fleet, has two decks and is equipped with a total of 64 to 74 guns.

The fourth class was built according to a compromise scheme, equipped with 50 guns (two decks) and was called a cruiser.

Grades 5 and 6 had 24 to 40 guns, equipped with only one gun deck. These warships were lighter and faster than large warships, so they were suitable for attacking merchant ships, carrying out reconnaissance and search and alert cover missions.

It was followed by six medium-sized sailboats, which looked quite numerous, rather difficult to mess with.

They're here to pick peaches!

In fact, Yan Changwu dealt with the Dutch and paid a tax of 1,000 taels of silver to the Dutch!

It's ironic to say that the land under their feet is called Taiwan and belongs to the Dutch!

1624 was a crucial year in Taiwan's history, when the Dutch, who were "coachmen of the sea", came to Taiwan, first occupied Grandma's Penghu Bend and established a military base there.

However, Penghu was too close to the mainland, and the Fujian governor of the Ming Dynasty, Nan Juyi, was not happy and ordered martial law to be imposed on the coast to drive out the Dutch.

So the Ming army and the Dutch tore apart, and everyone went back and forth, and then the key figure Li Dan magically appeared......

Li Dan was the largest trade smuggler at that time, and after arriving in Penghu, he first negotiated with the Dutch and then negotiated with Yu Shigao, the general soldier of Fujian, who put forward the idea that "the Dutch should withdraw from the Penghu Islands, but the Fujian authorities should allow the Dutch to trade on the island of Taiwan." Fujian officials quickly agreed to this plan and signed the "Ming-Dutch Peace Agreement" with the Netherlands, the content of which was that after the Netherlands withdrew from the Penghu Islands, they could occupy the island of Taiwan, and the Ming Dynasty officials had no objection; The Dutch could trade with Chinese mainland, and Chinese mainland merchant ships could also trade with the Dutch in Taiwan and Java.

This dramatic turn of events seemed to have reached a formal agreement between the Dutch and the Ming government, but in fact it was not approved by the Ming government at all, but the local officials in Fujian asked Li Dan to persuade the Dutch to go to Taiwan in order to get the Dutch to leave Penghu as soon as possible.

The Dutch relied on themselves as the masters of Taiwan and established a government in Taiwan to effectively govern Taiwan, but they did not achieve effective governance over the whole of Taiwan.

When Yan Changwu gained a foothold in Beigang, Taiwan, the Dutch came to the door and asked him to pay taxes!

In fact, the Dutch belong to the category of "not enough success, more than failure", Taiwan is sparsely populated, the Dutch in Taiwan are pitifully few, and they can't occupy much land, and some people come to develop it, and it is too late for the Dutch to welcome it.

The point is that you have to pay taxes!

Otherwise, the battleship will hit the door!

In order to avoid trouble, Yan Changwu paid a tax of 1,000 taels to the Dutch.

The Dutch are a bit civilized, Yan Changwu has just been developed, poor and white, for these bitter haha, the Dutch who are busy with trade and making a lot of money are very conscientious and don't want much, and they don't even care about Yan Changwu's rudeness (he didn't even see the Dutch, anyway, if Yan Changwu turned against the Dutch in the future, he could infer that it was a temporary worker's work and the money he sent), and he gave the money and left.

After that, the Dutch ignored Yan Changwu.

The harvest is imminent, and the Dutch are calling on the door, and they want to receive the fruits of the harvest!

Whether it is war or peace, the serious problem is in front of Yan Changwu!
