Chapter 81 The opening of Taiwan

"Obey."

Zheng Chenggong was in the middle church of Chiji City, respectfully placing incense cases and receiving orders.

Seeing that Zheng Chenggong took the holy decree, Zhang Jiayu breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to make it smooth this time, Zhang Jiayu came over in person, exchanged a few words with Zheng Chenggong, and said, "Lord Wang, talk here." ”

"Please." Zheng Chenggong stretched out his hand and invited Zhang Jiayu to enter the church.

Zhang Jiayu looked at the tall Western-style building, especially the tall dome on the top and the statue of Jesus, and said with a slight smile: "This Taixi building has a unique flavor. ”

Zheng Chenggong signaled slightly, and asked the guards to go out, and even the gate was closed, and there were only two of them left in front of the cross.

"It's a pity, although it's good, I can't keep it." Zheng Chenggong said.

Zhang Jiayu smiled slightly and said, "Yes, it's still the style of this dynasty." After all, I'm afraid the Zheng family will be here for a long time. ”

Zheng Chenggong doesn't know what Zhang Jiayu means, isn't it just to seal this place to the Zheng family, I'm afraid that in the future, the Zheng family will not be the Nan'an Zheng family, but the Taiwan Zheng family, as if it is the Yunnan Mu family.

Zheng Chenggong besieged the Red Embedded City for more than a month, and under the powerful fire offensive, he finally took the city wall of the Red Embedded City.

Therefore, except for some damage to the city wall, the other buildings of this red city are intact, and the Dutchman's decades of operation have been in the hands of Zheng Chenggong.

It's just that Zheng Chenggong is not ready to stay.

Without him, since the Zheng family wanted to control Taiwan for a long time, it was like driving out the influence of the Dutch, although the Dutch did not stay in Taiwan for a long time, but they spread Catholicism, established schools, and spread the Dutch language.

There are also quite a number of people who support them, including Han Chinese and indigenous people.

The indigenous people are easy to say, after all, the Zheng family replaced the Dutch to become the overlord of Taiwan, and among the indigenous tribes, it is almost a change of dynasty, and the indigenous tribes that support the Dutch, even if they are not exterminated, are not much different.

But some Han Chinese are not easy to handle.

After all, Zheng Chenggong needs to be in Taiwan for a long time, and the number of Han people is the most important, so he can't solve the problem by killing. It is necessary to demolish all Western-style buildings in Taiwan, reorganize the style of China, and take away the influence and discourse power from the hands of Catholicism.

It's not that Zheng Chenggong has any extreme thoughts, in fact, the Zheng family's thinking has been very enlightened since Zheng Zhilong, for example, Zheng Zhilong actually believed in Christ, and even had a foreign name called Nicholas.

But overkill must be corrected first.

This is also the experience of ancient times, when a country was destroyed in ancient times, it must be relocated, that is

That's right. And Catholicism, in a sense, is the social society of the Dutch.

At this point, most people who have read poetry and books have done the same, but in the mainland, Catholicism is not restricted, for example, there is a church in Nanjing today, and I haven't seen Zhang Xuan.

Zheng Chenggong sighed slightly, as if he remembered Anping City, his Zheng family's courtyard in the countryside of Nan'an was almost bigger than Nan'an County, I thought that the Zheng family would take root in their hometown for generations, but they didn't come out of this situation.

Zhang Jiayu coughed lightly and said, "Lord Wang, Your Majesty's meaning, Lord Wang also understands." I don't know what the prince has to say, I want to report to Your Majesty. ”

Zheng Chenggong said: "The emperor's grace is vast, the minister is grateful, and the minister will carefully select one to send to Macao if His Majesty wants." From now on, what I should do and what I shouldn't do in the Zheng family's maritime business will definitely abide by the laws of the imperial court. ”

Seeing that Zheng Chenggong was so reasonable, Zhang Jiayu breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart and said, "The prince thinks so, it's right." The prince is the lord of Great Xia, and he will sit in Tiannan in the future, hereditary disregard, such as Yunnan Mu's family in the previous dynasty, the marriage between children and grandchildren and the royal family, this is the wealth of 10,000 years, the prince should know that today's saint is not intolerant of people, so to do so, it is to protect the Zheng family, and the money and things, what is important to the Zheng family? ”

"Master Zhang knows me, and the money is in my Zheng family, but it's just floating clouds." Zheng Chenggong smiled slightly, and then sent it out with Zhang Jiayu.

The two had a deep conversation, as if they were intimate.

It's just that after each other left, Zhang Jiayu's face suddenly became ugly in front of Zhang Jiazhen.

"Big brother, why are you doing this? Didn't the errand just go well? Zhang Jiazhen said.

"Nope." Zhang Jiayu said: "It's too smooth. ”

Although Zhang Jiazhen is a martial artist, after all, he is a child of a family, and when he heard Zhang Jiayu say this, his heart suddenly moved, and he said: "Is there something strange in it?" ”

"I don't know." Zhang Jiayu said: "This King of Fujian, who does not let the King of Fujian at all, can be described as an unpredictable abyss, and I don't see his mind at all." However, one thing is certain, the Zheng family is not a pure minister. ”

Zhang Jiazhen listened, but smiled slightly and said; "Big brother, I think there's something wrong with you. King Min didn't have a little scheming, so he was played to death. Just because you can't see other people's minds doesn't mean they're bad. ”

Zhang Jiayu glanced at Zhang Jiazhen, and wanted to educate Zhang Jiazhen, but his heart moved, and he said secretly: "My younger brother has some skills in marching and fighting, but there are some things that I still don't understand." ”

If you are not afraid of straight thoughts, you are afraid that half a bottle of water will sway, and you seem to understand, but in fact you don't understand, which is the most harmful to people's lives.

"Yes." Zhang Jiayu said: "After you go back, immediately gather the troops and hand over the camp."

To Taiwan's prefect, Lord Chen, he has returned to his teacher, and this battle cannot be fought. ”

Zhang Jiazhen muttered, "I know." ”

In the past month, the intensity of the fighting between the two sides can be said to have plummeted. Originally, there were several ships fighting in the South China Sea, but after the news of the Macau negotiations came, even this small-scale fighting was gone.

Although there is no direct trade between the two sides, if they meet on the sea, it is impossible to say that they will have to fire a few shots, but that's all.

Zhang Jiazhen sighed and said: "I said that I came out to fight, but I didn't see a single Dutch from beginning to end, but I opened up 10,000 acres of fertile land, and I really don't know what I came out for." ”

Just when Zhang Jiazhen was sighing here.

Zheng Chenggong is not too comfortable in his heart.

He said it very easily in front of Zhang Jiayu, but he knew what was the root of his Zheng family? It is the control of the sea, the control of the trade of the waterways.

On this, there are millions of taels of income every year, that is, this amount of money, so that the Zheng family can support such a big stall today, otherwise Fujian pays taxes a year, but only hundreds of thousands of taels, how can it afford to raise so many large troops, among which there are many gunboats. Zhang Xuan's knife was cut at the root of Zheng Chenggong.

But what about Zheng Chenggong?

The large-scale purchase of firearms from Bactria greatly increased the strength of the Zheng family's fleet, but the dependence on logistics became more and more serious, and it was a one-day battle with the Dutch.

After Zheng Chenggong's careful estimation, he found that the consumption of gunpowder shells alone was worth several taels of silver.

Tens of thousands of taels of silver, Zheng Chenggong didn't care. Because the Zheng family has never been short of money, but if they leave Great Xia to supply these things, they can't find a place.

Moreover, Shi Lang's performance surprised Zheng Chenggong, this incident made Zheng Chenggong have to understand one thing, that is, the combat effectiveness of the naval division directly under the jurisdiction of the Great Xia Imperial Court has been greatly improved, and it is no longer the time when the original time could not fight at all, and let the Zheng Naval Division be the vanguard.

It is extremely difficult to create many things from nothing, but after having a foundation, it is easy to expand.

Zheng Chenggong even had the confidence to defeat them. But he was not sure of total annihilation, and although the Zheng family was a rich country, it was really compared with Xia Cao, and the lack of national strength could not be compared at all.

The form is stronger than people, no matter how unwilling Zheng Chenggong is, he can only admit it, and even this emotion cannot be exposed, so he can only vent quietly when he is alone.

"Lord Wang," a person outside suddenly reported: "There is an urgent report at home." ”

Zheng Chenggong had a bad premonition when he heard it, so he suddenly got up and pushed the door out, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Fourth master, it's no good, the old lady told you to go back quickly, maybe you can see one last time."
