Chapter 378: The Dutch

Zheng Zhilong's naval division is strong, but the army is not. If he had carried out a surprise attack along the coast, it would have been fine. However, if you go to land and Liu Xia's Pingbei army, you will definitely be defeated. But Zheng Zhilong, who was dizzy, obviously didn't think about these things, and several of his brothers were also persuading him, and even his son didn't agree with his approach. Of course, Zheng Chenggong definitely didn't dare to say it.

But he still insisted on going his own way.

Soon, the news of the defeat in front of him continued to spread to Taiwan, and Zheng Zhilong's face was not very good-looking every day. However, in ten days, all the soldiers and horses under the command of Zheng Zhilong, who landed in Fujian, were killed, and those who were captured were captured. Defeat on all fronts. This defeat had a deep impact on Zheng Zhilong, after all, he invested his blood on the battlefield this time, which one is not his elite general? Now defeated, captured or killed, almost sixty percent of his forces have been wiped out.

In the previous war with the Dutch, they lost seventy or eighty percent of their soldiers and horses, and now they have lost sixty percent of their troops. Its strength is already very weak. Of course, he still has a lot of warships after all, and in terms of the navy, it will take a certain amount of time for Liu Xia's navy governor's palace to completely defeat it.

After Zheng Zhilong was defeated, Liu Xia sent a message to him to surrender. In any case, Zheng Zhilong and even his son Zheng Chenggong are all good generals in the navy, with a lot of experience in water warfare, if they can make him return to their hearts, it would be a very good thing.

But how could Zheng Zhilong agree to Liu Xia's surrender at this time? You must know that he is now under the banner of Ming Dynasty orthodoxy, and there is still Emperor Longwu in Taiwan, a remnant of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, Zheng Zhilong's ruthlessness towards Liu Xia is not so simple to smooth out.

However, Zheng Zhilong's attack on Fujian came to an end here. The situation in the north is getting better and better. Nuergandusi was almost recovered, including Vladivostok in the Far East.

And the Russians were almost completely wiped out. Dorgon committed suicide in the final battle, unwilling to be captured. However, his body was brought back to Luoyang. There were also tens of thousands of Tartars with him. Among them, Fan Wencheng is the object of key care. Last time, Hong Chengchou, the big traitor, was killed in it. This time Fan Wencheng will definitely not have a good time.

After Dolgon's suicide, the Northeast was largely pacified. All the Tartars are not allowed to the northeast of Liu Xia. Of course, Liu Xia didn't plan to kill them all. After all, there are still more people. Most of them are also ordinary people. There is no need to kill so many people. But not killing doesn't mean you don't care. Liu Xia believed that if those Tartars were allowed to leave it alone in Liaodong, they would still be able to rebel in a hundred and ten years.

So Liu Xia decided to move them to the mainland and then disperse them. In a few years, they will be completely assimilated. Threats that may arise later will also cease to exist. After the destruction of the Tartars, the Tatars in the north and northwest also jumped for a short time, and the railway line had stretched into Mobei, and there were garrisons all the way, with railway transportation, everything was no longer a problem. Most of the Tatars surrendered, and some did not want to surrender and fled to the far north or west. However, the Pingbei Army behind him followed closely. It's as if you won't let go until you annihilate them all.

When the world gradually became peaceful, Liu Xia began to order internal cleaning, and some places had previously only cared about chasing Tartars or fighting Wu Sangui. There are still some poles and so on in many places. As a result, the local main battle forces and local garrison forces joined forces to carry out the cleanup. Within a few months, nine out of ten poles had been wiped out. Some of them fled deep into the mountains and did not dare to come out. But Liu Xia ordered that even if he fled to the mountains, he would not be able to do it, as long as he came out, he would be exterminated.

At the same time, Liu Xia ordered the Department of Civil Affairs to conduct a census of the population. and establish proof of identity. and the hukou system. Of course, this hukou system is not like the Celestial Empire, and there is regional discrimination everywhere. Rather, it is a unified national certificate. It only has the number and basic things such as nationality, ethnicity, and name and gender written on it. There is no geographical limit.

In this era, there is not such a high level of technology, so there is no photo on the identity certificate, so naturally there will be some errors. But it's inevitable.

A mighty census begins. For some people who are unwilling to cooperate, people who volunteer to be black households. Liu Xia didn't care either. However, they will definitely not be able to enjoy the corresponding national policies.

For example, children and grandchildren cannot go to school, and some subsidies that may be issued in the future are also impossible. Can't buy a house, can't do business. You can't be an official. You can't go to court and you don't enjoy legal protection. There is always a possibility of repatriation.

As for repatriation, according to Liu Xia's request, for some people who were found to be voluntarily unwilling to register, and secretly enjoyed national policies, and evaded taxes. Will be assigned to Siberia. Contribute to the economy there.

In the summer of five or six years, a strange warship suddenly came to the coast of Zhejiang. When the East China Sea Fleet in Songjiang Province learned the news, it immediately sent a large number of warships to intercept it. But that warship did not buy the face of the East China Sea Fleet in the slightest. Arrogant, he did not take the coming East China Sea Fleet in his eyes, and even issued a warning to the East China Sea Fleet.

Specifically, let the East China Sea Fleet get out of the way immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences.

This completely angered the gang of the East China Sea Fleet. After two years of development, the East China Sea Fleet became a full-fledged fleet. In two years, the Songjiang shipyard has also built three ironclad ships. And Jiaozhou Shipyard sent over four ironclad ships. Now the total number of ironclad ships in the East China Sea Fleet has reached as many as nine. As for sailing wooden ships, warships are even more of a bunch. Naturally, they will not be afraid of the intimidation of a foreign devil.

This warship is Dutch, and since the Dutch were defeated by Zheng Zhilong and withdrew from Taiwan, they returned to the Philippines and did not dare to come to China's side. But today, I don't know what's wrong, I actually drove the warship to Zhejiang.

In a fit of rage, the East China Sea Fleet men ordered the Dutch warships to be fired. Although the Dutch had a lot of experience in naval warfare. But in the face of a joint attack by two ironclad ships and four wooden battleships. The Dutch, who had only one wooden sailing ship and battleship, were clearly unable to resist.

But in a moment, the huge ship began to sink to the bottom of the sea, and then the East China Sea Fleet captured the Dutch who fell into the sea and were still alive.

This was the end of the day, but I don't know why. The Dutch in the Philippines learned that Liu Xia's navy had destroyed one of their warships, so the Dutch generals in the Philippines were furious and took out most of their family resources and prepared to come over for revenge.

Then Yu Mingjun dispatched five ironclad ships from the North Sea Fleet to come to the aid and ambushed the Dutch. It ended in the defeat of the Dutch. The Dutch eventually fled to the island of the Philippines with less than a third of their men.

However, Liu Xia is not a person who suffers, and Liu Xia is quite annoyed by this matter. said: "I should be Huaxia, in fact, you are a foreign barbarian who can come and leave if you want?" So, Liu Xia summoned the North Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet to carry the elite soldiers of the Navy Eagle Yang Wei and the Army Eagle Yang Wei to the Philippines, and now Liu Xia's weapons are not behind the Dutch at all, and even stronger than them to a certain extent because of Liu Xia.

The Dutch, having heard of the enemy's attack, had to be on alert immediately, but it was too late. When Eagle Yangwei landed on the island, he slaughtered the island, and the combat effectiveness of these soldiers who survived countless wars was quite amazing. Within a few hours, the entire island was bleeding. The last hundreds of Dutchmen hurriedly tried to flee by boat, but how could the sailors outside do what he wanted? So there was a burst of shelling against the Dutch. Eventually, they were all annihilated.

After Ma Peng, who was the capital of the southeast, annihilated Wu Sangui from Vietnam to Guangdong, he suddenly found that there were foreign soldiers stationed on the island of Macao. Murder everywhere but no one dares to care. So Ma Peng surrounded Macau with his soldiers and horses, and opened his mouth to collect taxes, and the taxes were no problem, and the Portuguese agreed, but Ma Peng asked for 10 million silver coins. This angered the Portuguese, and the two sides fought each other, and finally the Mapens were outnumbered and annihilated.
