Time has unconsciously entered August, and the sea breeze already has a trace of cold smell, but even if they blow on Zheng Zhilong's face, they can't make him feel a little uncomfortable.

"The world is so big that there are no wonders, and there are no wonders......

On the Sunrise Peak of Tamna Island, Zheng Zhilong's family of four climbed to the top accompanied by an entourage.

Zheng Zhilong had never been here in his previous life, but he had also seen promotional photos of Sunrise Peak on the Internet, and the visual impact of the overhead shot was really strong.

On the blue sea, an almost circular pillar towers abruptly, surrounded by cliffs, all of which are almost 90 degrees of black and gray stone walls, but the top is turquoise, like a grassland.

No matter how you look at it, it's amazing.

After experiencing the construction of the fortress on Juehua Island, Zheng Zhilong thought of Sunrise Peak and removed all kinds of beauty, isn't the latter a natural super-large fortress in his eyes?

This time in Japan, he left some people to land in the central and western part of Ezo, which was later the location of Sapporo.

It is a rare river valley plain in Ezo Prefecture, and the Ishikari River, the largest river in Ezo Prefecture, flows into the sea. The Ishikari River Plain, which is dotted along the banks of the Ishikari River, is a prime area in the Ezo region, which is dominated by mountains and hills.

Although Zheng Ping's goal in life is by no means to be the king and hegemony in the barbaric land of Ezo, he can't achieve it if he wants to hurry. Now lay the foundation here, and then go step by step.

It was named 'Xinjin' by Zheng Zhilong. Two teams were left behind, and the latter was tasked with sweeping away the surrounding Ezo tribes in the shortest possible time. Prepare for the arrival of a large number of immigrants in the coming year.

Then the army crossed the sea into the waters of Korea, and first rushed to Jeju Island, which is now Tamna.

The North Korean government's land and water garrisons on the island were completely vulnerable, and they did not even dare to fire a single shot at the Zheng army.

The officials of Dajing and Jingyi counties on the island did not resist at all, on the contrary, most of them looked at Zheng Jun with a happy face.

The Jeju pastoral envoy led by Kim Nam-gil is now standing beside Zheng Zhilong, and when he heard Zheng Zhilong's exclamation, his face was honored.

Zheng Sen looked at the sunrise peak in front of him, and his eyes were full of admiration. If such an island were to be placed off the coast of China, it would easily be built into a fortress that would never fall by Zheng Jun.

Fifty or sixty zhang high terrain, is completely an impregnable city wall, and there is a huge depression at the top, the diameter may be more than one mile away, like the bottom of the pot slowly down, the bottom is afraid of twenty or thirty zhang deep from the edge, the area is huge, can be compared to a small county town.

The southeast and north sides are cliffs, and only the northwest side is a lawn ridge, which connects to the village below. The ridge is covered with lawns for both walking and horseback riding.

"The golden shepherd can contact your king and tell him that this Tamna Island is now occupied and will be used to raise horses. Just let him rest assured, there is borrowing and repaying, and I, Zheng Zhilong, will not take his territory. It's just that, tell him to stay away from the Tartars from now on. ”

He didn't know if Jin Nanji would breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, horizontally, the smile on this person's face was even brighter.

Zheng Zhilong was not in Tamna Island at all, he was delayed in Korea for too long, and even the command of Jeju Island only left two teams of soldiers, and the Korean navy and army that were captured before were also used and formed into a garrison of this department.

Although the treatment is worse than that of the genuine Zheng Jun, even this worse treatment makes the North Koreans crazy.

"This, this...... It's too lucrative. ”

In Lee's Korea, where civilians are more important than military, being a soldier is not a promising profession. Especially those who have been soldiers for generations, there are very few who have risen to prominence in the army.

And in terms of military salary, it can't be said to be bad. After all, they had just been beaten by the Manchus not long ago, and due to the strength factor, Li Liang was unable to expand the army, but it was still possible to ensure quality and quantity.

At present, the Korean navy and army soldiers can get 10% of the silver, cloth, and rice, which is the most comfortable time for the Korean soldiers.

But it depends on who it is compared to.

Zheng Zhilong believes that Li Liang will not send troops to counterattack Tamna Island, otherwise Li Liang will worry about whether he can be stable in Seoul.

If he had been smarter, he would have even ordered Kim Nam-gil and them to fully cooperate with Zheng Jun.

And Zheng Zhilong took Tamna for a short time, and then led people straight to Denglai.

He didn't go to Juehua Island, and he didn't go to Jinmen, and it was too late. It's Mid-Autumn Festival, and when he drove into Zhifu, it was September.

At that time, he believed that Emperor Chongzhen's plan for his daughter in Jinling City could also be finalized.

The eldest princess is going to be sixteen for the New Year, and the original concubine does not know where to go, but now she is with Zheng Ping, isn't it just right?

Deepening the connection between the two is the first, the princess has a good home is the second, and Zheng Ping can also have a wife with a noble blood and a good background is the third.

The Japanese are still very particular about blood.

Having a princess of the Ming Emperor as the main room will increase her influence on Zheng Ping more than marrying the daughter of the Tokugawa family or the prince of the Chrysanthemum family.

After all, Tokugawa Iemitsu's only daughter is already married - it is said that she was married at the age of six, and she is simply a beast.

The rest are adopted daughters.

Maybe in the eyes of the Japanese, they are still the general's daughters, but Zheng Zhilong doesn't look down on them.

What's more, these are all Japanese, Zheng Ping already has half of the Japanese blood in his blood, so there is no need to add it to the next generation of heirs.

And the Chrysanthemum family, that is the master who will be crippled by his chrysanthemum sooner or later, so he will not ask Zheng Ping to marry the daughter of the Chrysanthemum family.

Emperor Chongzhen's eldest princess is his target.

The two are of the same age, and their status is not bad. Even Zheng Ping can go to Jinling to be a little white face for a few years, which can be regarded as a hostage. When the time was almost right, I went to Ezo easily in the name of taking the domain.

Not only will there not be much danger, but it will also deepen the friendship between Ming and Zheng, how good it is.

That is, Zheng Sen is already married, otherwise, it would be best for him to marry a princess. Now it's a matter of second best.

As for whether Emperor Chongzhen would agree, Zheng Zhilong was still a little sure in his heart.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty is now fighting against Denglai, and Zheng Zhilong's role is undoubtedly revealed, which is the object that Emperor Chongzhen must woo. It's just for the overall situation of the Ming Court, sacrificing a girl is not a big deal.

Deepening the friendship between the two families is the first priority.

In fact, it is.

After getting the exact news from Tokugawa Iemitsu, Zheng Zhilong asked Zheng Sen to lead the fleet back to Kyushu Island and kill outside Kagoshima, and the Shimazu family felt humiliated by this. However, the lessons of the Saga Nabeshima family are still vivid, and Shimazu Mitsuhisa can only endure it when he is angry.

Zheng Zhilong immediately sent people to the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the latter lord Shangxian sent his uncle Mao Dayong and Ruan Shiyuan, the general secretary of the capital, to Jinling to congratulate and congratulate him, and to pay tribute to Fang Wu, and to obituary of his father King Shangfeng, and to ask for the seal.

And this is just a small sweetness, as long as Emperor Chongzhen agrees, by next year, there will inevitably be a wave of real 'all countries to come to court'.

More than half a month has passed this year, and the first phase of the Xinzhou project in the hinterland of the South Seas has been gradually completed, and its influence has also expanded smoothly to the whole of Southeast Asia.

The Dutch in Batavia were surprised to find that they were completely overwhelmed by Zheng Zhilong in the competition for the small princes of Nanyang.

Even the King of Johor, who was their key strategy, chose Zheng Zhilong without hesitation. There is even Aceh, which is a powerful country!

Anthony didn't understand their thinking at all. Are they strong or are the Chinese strong? Are they closer, or are the Chinese closer? Don't these little princes understand that the closer you get, the more threatening you are?

But even if they wore out their mouths, they still failed to achieve satisfactory results.

And with the gradual completion of the first phase of the Xinzhou project, with the further development of the Xinzhou market, the Chinese in Nanyang have gone one by one.

He even sold his properties in Batavia, Semarang, Surabaya and other places at a low price, and used a high amount of money to seize a small store and a small house.

Their previous stores and residences were even ten or twenty times the size of NSW, but those Chinese still ran to NSW like crazy.

There are also some Chinese who return to Batavia after a trip to New South Wales, but the first thing they did when they returned to Batavia was not to sell to the company, but to recruit craftsmen to replace the signboard.

What Yongkang, Fengtai, Ruixing, Tongyi Chinese commercial stores, now one by one has changed its name. In front of the time-honored brand, either add China, or add China, and there are simply add the name of Zheng's Nanyang.

Co-authored this transformation has a new backer, doesn't it?

Anthony sent Fanosini to investigate, and the answer was that it was true. The names of China, China, Zheng's Nanyang, as well as Kyushu, Shenzhou, etc., are all vests of the Zheng family.

Those Chinese businessmen all paid protection fees and received the protection of the Zheng family, and the two sides signed a formal agreement in black and white, no wonder those Chinese businessmen suddenly had enough confidence.

The Chinese in the whole Nanyang were happy, and the Zheng family was happy to receive a large amount of protection money, but the Dutch vomited blood in their hearts.

What made Anthony even more angry was that in July, the Zheng family informed him that he intended to set up a mansion in Batavia, as the Zheng family's agency in Batavia, responsible for official communication between the two, and also responsible for managing and safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of local nationals and issuing entry visas to foreign citizens.

With this visa, it is equivalent to getting the recognition of the Zheng family, and they can walk freely and openly within the Zheng family's sphere of influence.

But this mansion also enjoys garrisons and extrajudicial immunity, etc., which surprised Anthony, how similar is this so-called mansion to a diplomatic envoy?

The modern diplomacy of the Europa world has been going on for some time. With the beginning of the Great Voyage, the exchanges between European countries became more and more frequent, and in order to facilitate mutual contact, countries sent permanent envoys to foreign countries. Although there was no unified regulation on the hierarchy and rank of diplomatic envoys at this time, there were often some troubles and confusions in protocol arrangements in diplomatic activities. But this regulation is already the norm in the European world.

But that's just Europe, not the East, and even less China.

They didn't want to exchange envoys with China, but they wanted to meet the top officials of the Chinese government, but they couldn't find the temple gate with a pig's head.

And now Zheng Zhilong intends to engage in diplomacy with the Dutch East India Company, Anthony was very happy at first, but after asking again, he realized that Zheng Zhilong unilaterally sent people to Batavia, but the East India Company could not send a resident envoy to Anping City.

Anthony's belly is about to explode......
