Chapter 425: Taiwan Storm

Now the hidden dangers around the autonomous region have been slowly eliminated, the eight-character army has contained the puppet Koreans, the three strong forces in the northwest have formed an alliance with the autonomous region, and if the autonomous region sends troops to the northern expedition, there will be no worries.

At this time, the autumn harvest has passed, and the autonomous region has a bumper harvest, and after the summer harvest, a large amount of wheat and other summer crops are accumulated, and after the autumn harvest, it is fruitful. Not to mention the abundance of grains, even the newly opened barren land of rice and sweet potatoes grown in the region is extraordinary, and the autonomous region has become a land of abundant rice and grain.

Before winter, Zhang Shun sent several boatloads of rice, and also brought a new product they developed in Taiwan, white sugar.

This was an epoch-making initiative, and the sweeteners consumed at this time were mainly starch syrup, which was a dark viscous product formed by glycation boiling, while white sugar was a granular product obtained by decolorization and crystallization.

This is also the result of the development of science and technology in the autonomous region in recent years, and there is science and technology that is at the forefront of society, and the products are destined to lead the world. White sugar, known as frosted sugar in Taiwan, became a bestseller as soon as it was listed in the Great Song Dynasty, and it was priceless.

However, it is said that there are three major forces in Taiwan, namely the Lan family, the Luo family, and the Lang family, each of which occupies half of the country.

Originally, the Lan family was dominant, occupying nearly half of Taiwan, but it was not satisfied and wanted to take all parts of Taiwan as its own, but it did not take advantage of it after several wars. In the face of the crisis, the Luo family and the Lang family released their previous suspicions, and joined forces to fight with them, but the Lan family had no choice but to stop the army, so the three families stood up.

Over the years, the Lan family has repeatedly used counter-plots to provoke the other two, resulting in frequent conflicts between the two families, and the two families are separated.

Among the three major forces, the Lang family is the weakest, in recent years, due to poor management, it has gradually declined, and there are internal disagreements, at this time, if the Lan family is in trouble, the Luo family will take advantage of the fire to rob even if they help, and the Lang family will definitely lose most of the territory. Fortunately, at this time, Lang Zhiyuan, the new head of the Lang family, was wise and decisive, and he repeatedly maneuvered between the other two families, so as not to be seized by them to divide up the weakness.

At this time, the Liangshanbo naval army entered Taiwan, and they happened to enter the ruling area of the Lang family. The Liangshan Bo Navy is strong, and Lang Zhiyuan also wants to use this foreign force to strengthen himself, so he became a brother with Zhang Shun, leased a part of the fertile land to the navy, and at the same time many wastelands, barren mountains, barren beaches and mountains and forests were directly assigned to the navy, and vowed that if there was foreign invasion, join hands to resist, if the oath was violated, the heavens and the earth would be destroyed.

Due to the many mature experiences of the autonomous region, Zhang Shun turned these wastelands into fertile land within a year, and the barren land instantly turned into fat, which provoked the Lan family and the Luo family.

They already despised the Lang family, and when they saw that the water army was an outsider, they wanted to grab a piece of the pie, and by the way, they tested the strength of the Lang family. The first was the Locke family, who sent a thousand-man team under the pretext of a disputed wasteland.

After hearing this, the regiment commander Erpang sent a letter to Zhang Shun, and at the same time lined up the soldiers of a regiment in a phalanx and waited for him, if the Luo family dared to move, he would be annihilated with all his might.

The Luo family was suppressed by the momentum of the water army and did not dare to take half a step forward. When Lang Zhiyuan heard the news, he persuaded the leader of the Luo family to call off the army, saying that he would go to the Luo family to discuss the ownership of this place in three days, and asked him to bring a letter to Luo Han, the head of the Luo family, and the Luo family withdrew his troops.

Three days later, Lang Zhiyuan settled in a low-key manner and compensated the Locke family for some money. The Locke family didn't want to make a big deal out of it, after all, the two sides were still nominal allies, so they happily shook hands and made peace.

The Lan family didn't want the fat to fall on their mouths, and when they heard that Lang Zhiyuan bowed his head to the Luo family, they wanted to do the same to grab a piece of fat. The head of the family, Lan Yingjie, was confident that he was strong, so he entangled two thousand-man teams to forcibly plunder.

Who knew that the navy did not leave room for the Lan family at all, they took up arms and fought back, and the strong military strength made the Lan family leave more than a thousand corpses and flee. This battle played the strength of the navy, and from then on, the Lan Luo family no longer dared to underestimate the Lang family, and they no longer dared to underestimate this foreign force.

Due to the intervention of the navy, the rapid economic recovery of the Lang family has been promoted, and now the navy has become a major economic pillar of the Lang family, and the Lang family is inseparable from the navy, and of course the navy is inseparable from the Lang family.

Most of the Lang family's grain and rice were purchased by the navy, and their pockets gradually bulged, and their sugarcane, which was very worthless before, was also purchased by the navy to make sugar, which created a batch of benefits for them.

Compared with the Lang family, the factories built by the navy created greater value, and most of their labor force was prisoners of war, and the Jin Liao captives carried out labor reform in factories, fields, and forests to atone for their heinous crimes.

Under the temptation of huge interests, the Lan and Luo families joined hands, and the pattern of Taiwan has undergone great changes, and the Lang family and the navy have become a thorn in the side of the remaining two.

However, the strong combat effectiveness and powerful gunpowder weapons of the navy made the two families dare not act rashly, and they could only frequently provoke the relationship between the Lang family and the navy.

Recently, Luo Han, the head of the Luo family, actually came to lobby Lang Zhiyuan in person, saying that the navy has become bigger, and the tail is too big to fall, and if it continues to develop like this, the Lang family will be encroached upon by it, and Taiwan will be ruled by outsiders. Now taking advantage of its fledgling, the three families joined forces to destroy the water army. And promised that after joining forces, the territory of the navy army and the factory will be owned by the Lang family, and the property and property of the Lang family will also be divided.

The smart Lang Zhiyuan has long understood the stakes and cons, there are pros and cons to cooperating with the navy, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, the threat to him from the navy is very small, with Zhang Shun's personality and the actions of the navy, he believes that he will never do this kind of thing.

If you cooperate with the other two families to destroy the water army, without support, the Lang family will die an ugly death, and the grievances between the two Lan Luo families and themselves can only be resolved by force after all, and in the end, the Lang family can only make two pieces of cake and get that piece of meat in the middle, and eat the Lan Luo family with a mouth full of oil.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lang Zhiyuan decided to continue to cooperate with the navy, and he told Zhang Shun about the situation. Zhang Shun and Lang Zhiyuan made a plan, pretending to cooperate with the two families, digging a pit for them to jump down, and scared them at one time, so that they would never dare to peep again.

The two families really fell into the scheme, they thought that the Lang family was moved, so they made a plan to open the prison in one dark night and release the prisoners of war, and the three families took advantage of the chaos to attack the Liangshan Boshui Army from the three sides.

That night, Zhang Shun calmly arranged his troops. He first made the illusion that the prison was lax in his defense, and after the enemy who came to attack the Locke family camp under the pretense of being the victorious enemy soldier and the fugitive who escaped, he defeated it and captured the eldest son of the Locke family who led the troops. Then he followed the Lan family team and beat the Lan family team in the ambush circle with the Lang family team and fled, and the Lang family took the opportunity to pursue and seize a lot of territory. Coincidentally, the second son of the Lan family, who was regarded as the pearl of the palm by the head of the family, was also captured in this battle.

After this battle, the vitality of the Lan Luo family was greatly damaged, the territory was occupied by the Lang family, and the baby son was also taken hostage by the Lang family, so he could only sign to admit defeat. After that, Zhang Shun also strengthened the construction of the naval army and the management of prisoners of war, and quickly informed Song Jiang of this situation and asked for reinforcements.

At this time, it was already winter, and after receiving the letter, Song Jiang felt that the situation was serious, and he was well aware of the importance of Taiwan and that if the Taiwan issue was not resolved in a timely and thorough manner, it would be even more difficult in the future.

Therefore, after discussions, the Military Aircraft Department decided not to send troops to Yanyou for the time being this year, first completely occupy Taiwan, and make Taiwan a solid base for the autonomous region, and then hoard forces to recover the land of Yanyun.

A few days later, dozens of large ships sailed for Taiwan, and 50,000 armed troops entered Taiwan, completely occupying the entire island of Taiwan in less than half a month. Zhang Shun served as the first prefect to lead Taiwan's military and civilian management, and at the same time constantly relocated the people of the autonomous region, encouraged local people to farm, and publicized the autonomous region's policy toward the people.

After the war subsided, the autonomous region established a large shipyard in Taiwan, with Wang Dingliu as the director.

Since then, Taiwan has been officially incorporated into the territory of the autonomous region, and Taiwan has also brought rich economic income to the autonomous region.
