The exact location of Luermen and Geranza Castle is in Tainan in later generations, while Penghu is only a short 52 nautical miles away from Tainan.

This number represents that the fleets of both sides can fight back and forth between the two in one day under the condition of success, and represents the infinite possibilities in the war.

However, there is still no exchange of fire between the two sides, and negotiations are still underway.

Zheng Zhilong's army has overwhelmed Penghu, which is simply challenging the nerves of the Dutch. After Geranza heard the news, the navy and army immediately entered a state of imminent combat alert. The negotiator even asked Zheng Lian face-to-face whether the Zheng family insisted on provoking a war between the two sides.

Zheng Lian naturally didn't know, he had been waiting for a long time for this day, and Zheng Zhilong's army had finally arrived.

There is a feeling that Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Sen from Juehua Island have received Zheng Zhilong's letter again, both of them have not appeared in the camera for so many days, and they all wonder if the author has forgotten about them.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Behold, how many days have your ships been in the ranks of your soldiers? My leader has only arrived in Penghu with his brothers now, and it's already late, okay? ”

In Zheng Lian's words, Zheng Zhilong's behavior is a kind of attitude of goodwill.

Just like the central government of the Ming Dynasty where Zheng Zhilong did not dump the capital, but the army obediently returned to Denglai, and the reward of a son did not reach out to the court to ask for it, Emperor Chongzhen instead praised him as a loyal minister.

The Dutch reinforcements that were far away had already arrived for a long time, and the Zheng group, which was close, had just arrived. At first glance, it seems that the Zheng family is indeed showing goodwill.

But to the Dutch, that's farting.

The big man is on the mouth of the Zheng family, but it is thousands of miles away from Batavia, can it be the same?

"That's good. I'll send someone back to see my faucet. Zheng Lian has always put on the appearance of a hero in the green forest on the sea, giving the Dutch people the feeling that it has not changed at all from the original Zheng Yiguan period.

But in fact, the Zheng family's land and water armies have now been changed to a new system, with corresponding ranks and positions, and they are absolutely regular troops.

"Let's go, let's go to Taoyuan!"

After Zheng Zhilong received Zheng Lian's reply, he knew that the time had come for him to leave Penghu and go to Dayuan. It was a 'gesture of goodwill' to the Dutch, and the best excuse for him to avoid confrontation at sea.

Of course, he will not go to Reranza, nor will he go back to Anping, but to Taoyuan.

The latter is the name he gave to the Zheng Group in the territory of Dayuan - Taoyuan, Xanadu.

Compared with the continent separated by a river to the north, isn't the current territory of the Zheng clan a paradise?

Although everyone has to pay taxes, they have land, a settling-in fee from the Zheng family, and even grain and cattle, and the people who live here don't have a very good life.

The Zheng family has been very dedicated to these immigrants, and now that all the immigrants have been organized into households, they are naturally full of gratitude to the Zheng family. Zheng Zhilong goes to Taoyuan every day, and he can feel the people's love and support for him.

These are the foundations of the Zheng family.

Because war is never a heads-up between the commanders of the two sides, whether it is victory or defeat, a few cold numbers collected in a sealed war report represent a fresh life!

If a party wants to sum up its true strength, it must take into account the question of war potential.

Look at the Ming army, how many times it has been defeated, but it can pull out wave after wave of people. Such is the potential of war.

In the past, the war potential of the Zheng group lay in the many poor people in the southeast who could not survive, and there were many of them, but in terms of quality, there was not much hope. And now there is one more big guy.

Although the population here is still small, the fertile fields are thousands of miles, and the rainfall is abundant, all of which are enough to feed millions of people, so that people can cultivate and have no worries about food. The chicken coop area in the north is rich in high-quality sulfur, and there is no shortage of medicinal powder. And across the sea, wanton to foreign countries, buy ships and sell, money, food and materials are not lacking. It's like a piece of the foundation of the king.

Ten years of life and upbringing, Zheng Zhilong is facing the situation of Zheng Chenggong that day, the country can be rich, the army can be strong, and the attack and retreat are enough to compete with the mainland.

Moreover, a set of rules in Anping City is the best model for Zheng Zhi. Coupled with the various talents cultivated by schools and schools of different sizes and roles, they are all the basic plates of the Zheng family.

Of course, the schools and schools in Taoyuan are still a kind of cute ecology, not only are there vacancies of teachers, weak teachers, poor teaching level, and even teaching books are incomplete.

But the Heavenly Tree also starts from a seed, doesn't it?

Accounting, justice, administration, engineering, ......, and other disciplines are now just propping up an empty shelf. There is a shortage of teachers, a lack of students, and a lack of everything, but there is no shortage of money and food.

A large number of Zheng children are still attending cram schools and preparatory classes, and the only reason why they were selected is that they can write and calculate, but there is obviously a gap between the simple ability to write and calculate and the grassroots officials that Zheng Zhilong needs. And if there is a gap, then you have to work hard, right?

Not all those surnamed Zheng, Shi, Gan, and Hong can get ahead, and the current test is not a good opportunity for them to leap into the dragon gate.

It's no different from before, it's just that the fighting and killing at sea has been replaced by the current envoy.

Zheng Zhilong took a boat south to Taoyuan, and the news of Dai Jiaji's victory and Zhang Qiuzhen's victory had already spread all over here.

After all, the main forces of the army that won these two great victories came from immigrants.

The latter is very proud, and even more proud.

At the port wharf, the people welcomed the people, and the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums kept ringing, and they were all smiling.

But when the celebration passed, when an obituary was officially sent to the families of the fallen soldiers with the arrival of Zheng Zhilong, families lost their fathers and sons, and the pillars of the family died.

No matter how high the bereavement pension given by Zheng Zhilong is, it is enough for the bereaved families to live smoothly, and they are also taken care of in terms of food and taxes, which cannot make up for the pain of a family losing its loved ones.

Those parents, wives and children, they eagerly hoped for the news of their family's safety, but waited for the cold bad news, how could they accept this fact, only to cry loudly.

"Hey......" Zheng Zhilong sighed, in the first battle of Qilu, he may have seen too much of the dead, and he also looked down on the soldiers who died in the two battles of Dai Jiaji and Zhang Qiuzhen, but now listening to the howls and cries of the bereaved families behind him, this is ......

"Zheng Tai. The bereaved families of these military martyrs are all loyal to my Zheng family, and how my Zheng family treats them is obvious to all. In the future, you must pay attention to the fact that these people cannot be wronged at all. In the civil officialdom, whoever dares to bully cannot be spared. ”

"Uncle don't worry, nephew knows the severity."

Zheng Tai, who is currently the head of Taoyuan, hurriedly said.

The first thing Zheng Zhilong did when he came to Taoyuan was not to see the changes in Taoyuan in the past year or so, but to personally visit the bereaved families of military martyrs. Let Zheng Tai's group mention God all of a sudden. I understand that the bereaved families of military martyrs today are very different from the families of the dead soldiers in the past.

Zheng Zhilong has a hundred hearts for the bereaved families of the current military martyrs than for the families of the soldiers who died in the past.

Just like what he said, it is how to treat it, and all the people can see. He's using them as an advertisement.
