Chapter 142: Chiayi Speech
Seeing greatness in the ordinary, this is the principle of Wei's father-in-law.
A person can be illiterate, but he cannot be illiterate.
Although this Xue Jinzhong is just a small "handkerchief", what does it mean that he can go out of the palace on a business trip? It means that there are people above people, otherwise people can get this good thing?
Therefore, the father-in-law has to give people enough respect, and he respects not only this Xue Jinzhong, but also the people above Xue Jinzhong. Who dares to guarantee that the person behind Xue Jinzhong will not become Da Jue one day? Who dares to say that this Xue Jinzhong will not become a red-robed eunuch?
People, you can't look good, and you can't look down on people.
Gao Qidive will not sweep the streets in the palace!
Pang Tianshou will not look at the gate in Nanjing City!
Second uncle, don't you honestly burn the stove in the East Palace!
Be careful to win the world, careless Jingzhou.
Therefore, the father-in-law does not think that he is a self-condescending identity, he is said to be an investment show of goodwill, and at the worst, he is not to offend people. When the world is in place, the foundation of the father-in-law can be deep.
Shen Yourong came back from Taipei, which was the headquarters of the emperor's pro-army command envoy personally selected by Gonggong Wei, so it was called Taipei Wei in the army.
The Standing Fleet of the Combined Fleet is stationed in Keelung Harbor in Taipeiwei. Keelung Port was originally called a chicken coop by the locals, but Grandpa Wei felt that the name was not good, so he deliberately changed its name to Keelung Port.
In addition to the Taipei Guard, there are Taichung and Tainan Guards, collectively known as the Taiwan Three Guards, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the Emperor's pro-army command and envoys. Under the three guards, there are 13 large and small 1,000 households in Keelung, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Yilan, Yunlin, Chiayi, Taitung, etc.
Originally, it was planned that the Taiwan Garrison Division would be responsible for Taiwan's reunification, but now, on the one hand, the Taiwan Garrison Division has not yet replenished its strength, and it is difficult for it to occupy Taiwan alone and be responsible for maintaining law and order in the occupied areas. On the other hand, Fujian and Zhejiang are also eyeing Taiwan, and it is absolutely impossible for Wei Gonggong to eat Taiwan alone.
Therefore, in line with the principle of "shelving disputes and joint development", Wei Gonggong made a quick decision, and the Taipei Guard was jointly controlled by the Taiwan Garrison Division and the United Fleet; Taichung Wei was handed over to Fujian to take over; The Tainan Guard is under the command of the Taiwan Garrison Division.
Zhejiang and Fujian were satisfied with this plan, Zhejiang originally wanted northern Taiwan as a trading base, as long as it could obtain great profits from maritime trade, it would be satisfied, but there was not much interest in immigrating to Taiwan.
The Fujian side is the weakest of the three, and now it can occupy a place in the combined fleet, and it can also get the equivalent of several counties in Taichung, which is a very cost-effective thing for the governor of Fujian, Huang Chengxuan, so he has never objected.
Hou Anzhi, deputy commander of the Combined Fleet and admiral of the Fujian Navy Division, had secretly ordered the Fujian Navy Division of the Zhongzuo Institute and the Yunlin Qianhu Station of the Penghu Inspection Station in Taichunwei to open up landing sites to gather the local Han people and indigenous people, so as to lay a good foundation for the next step of the resettlement work carried out by the Fujian side.
At present, the Imperial Army and the Combined Fleet have only set up a few strongholds in Taipei, Chiayi and other places, and have not sent troops deep into the hinterland of Taiwan on a large scale, but the Han people and natives where they landed welcomed the arrival of the Ming army.
Compared with the Imperial Army and the Zhejiang Army, the Fujian officers and soldiers were more supported by the local Han people, because they all spoke the same thing.
My father-in-law called it Hokkien.
According to the local Han people and close aborigines, not all the aborigines on the island welcomed the arrival of the Ming army, but most of them were hostile.
These indigenous people are very primitive, almost savage, and some tribes also have the habit of cannibalism and scalping, which is very barbaric. They are also more numerous than the Han people and the indigenous people of Kaihua, and some large shrines can even dispatch thousands of people at a time during tribal battles, which can be described as men, women, and children.
Therefore, even if the history of Fujian people immigrating to Taiwan has been hundreds of years, until now, the scale of immigration is only more than 100,000, and they are scattered all over the coast.
The reason is that as long as Hermes-Epitek goes deeper into the island, it will be attacked by wild people. The disadvantage and dispersion of the Han people made it difficult for them to fight the wildlings who numbered in the thousands. Over the years, the savages would often go down to the mountains to plunder the Han people as slaves, destroy the land reclaimed by the Han people, and rob them of their crops.
The dispute between the Turks and the Han Dynasty can be said to have existed since the day the Han people came to the island, because of the numerical disadvantage and the lack of government support, the Han people could only try to avoid going deeper.
This is also the reason why the Han people on the island are almost unconditionally supportive of the arrival of the officers and soldiers. The Hermes-Epitek hoped that the officers and soldiers would help them deal with the savages, so that they could develop the fertile land that the savages occupied but did not know how to cultivate.
After learning about these circumstances, Wei Gonggong realized that his previous thoughts were a bit one-sided, and when he inspected the vicinity of Chiayi, he emphasized to the accompanying officials and generals:
"It seems that our family was wrong in the past. If we Han people want to go deep into the interior of this treasure island to develop, farm, and harvest crops and sugarcane, we will inevitably have fierce conflicts with those conservative, stubborn, and uncivilized natives.
Our officials must be aware of this and must not harbor illusions. We want to include Taiwan in the territory of our emperor, this is not as simple as inviting guests to dinner, it is to use knives!
If you use a knife, you can use a knife, let's see that there is nothing wrong with it, and we have to deal with those backward and stupid ethnic groups. In this way, they can know the strength of my Ming Dynasty and submit to the rule of my Ming Dynasty! ”
Wei Gonggong further pointed out that the contradiction between the Turks and the Han dynasty in Taiwan is actually a conflict between advanced and backward civilizations, and that in order to maintain the superiority of advanced civilizations, it is necessary to ruthlessly strike at backward civilizations. If there is benevolence and illusions, and if you want to convince people with virtue, then in the end it will be the advanced civilization that will be buried.
"A backward civilization cannot actually be said to be a civilization, it should be said to be a bad custom! Can our imperial army bow to vulgarity? No! ”
The spirit of Chiayi's speech was quickly sorted out and distributed by the base camp for the United Fleet and the Ming Imperial Army to study. Subsequently, the Guards Division was ordered to transfer officers and men from two brigades to assist the Taiwan Garrison Division in its exploration of Taipei and Tainan.
The specific plan of Gonggong Wei has already written the question book, one to be sent to the emperor's imperial review, and the other to be sent to the small uncle Zheng Guotai's mansion.
After all, the nominal commander of the Ming Emperor's pro-army is Zheng Guotai, although this kid has not left for the south until now, and the command and personnel rights of the emperor's pro-army are firmly held in the hands of the eunuch of the army of Gonggong Wei, but after all, he is the younger brother of the concubine, and he can be regarded as the brother-in-law of Gonggong Wei, so he has to give his brother-in-law enough respect and decency to his brother-in-law.
Of course, the father-in-law did not want the brother-in-law to come to Taiwan, so even if the brother-in-law was more acquainted, his identity was destined to affect the officers and soldiers of the imperial army, so it was better for the commander to stay in Beijing honestly.
In addition, the cheap old man can't make trouble with the demon moth, and his old man's suitable position is the "sect leader", not the emperor.
