(Thank you for your continued care and love, I will always work hard.) I got a micro, Xingong, public, number, you can add it. Micro, letter, public, public, number: speechless sky)

Before the middle of the 16th century, Taiwan was basically isolated from the rest of the world, and only the aborigines lived a life of almost wool and blood in the mountains and forests. Although the ancient books of the Chinese people have recorded Taiwan such as Dongan, Yizhou, Liuqiu, and Visheye, etc., the past dynasties have not paid enough attention to this, thinking that it is just a place for barbarians to turn into an outsider.

All this did not change until decades ago, from the 32nd year of Wanli (1604), when the Dutch tried to occupy Penghu, planning to use it as a stronghold in East Asia. But for the Ming Dynasty generals Shen Yourong forced to retreat as the starting point. Since then, the Dutch have been working hard to gain a foothold in East Asia. Eighteen years later, the Dutch sent a fleet to attack the Portuguese-occupied Macao, but it ended in failure. In the end, they turned their attention to Penghu again, and the Ming Dynasty sent troops to expel the Dutch many times, and finally the two sides reached an agreement that the Dutch withdrew from Penghu, and with the acquiescence of the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch occupied Taiwan, which was still a foreign land.

Two years later, the Dutch officially occupied Taiwan. The first thing the Dutch occupied was southern Taiwan, and they built a fortified castle at Dayuan, the city of Geranza. In the second year after Dayuan built the castle, he bought another piece of land from the aborigines of Taiwan at the cost of fifteen pieces of cotton cloth, and later built a Puluo city here.

The city of Geranza, one of these two cities, has been the center of Dutch rule in Taiwan since the day it was built, and it is also the residence of the so-called "Governor of Formosa", and as the twelfth governor of the Dutch East India Company in Taiwan, it can be said that at this time, it can be said that the significance of the time, as a Swede, in order to make a living, he ran thousands of miles to the Dutch East India Company to work. Over the past few decades, he has slowly risen from the grassroots staff to the top management positions, and his outstanding ability has also made him stand out in the political world. From the beginning of his entry into the local parliament of the Dutch East Indies as a member of the parliament, he became one of the few people who could enjoy privileges, and the smooth career of Yu Yi took over as the supreme governor of Taiwan three years ago, and served for nearly four years, which can be said to be the longest term of governor of Taiwan since the Dutch occupied Taiwan, if all goes well, maybe in a few years, he may even become the governor in Batavia, and then rule the entire Dutch East Indies.

But now, as the governor of Taiwan, Yu Yi is feeling an unprecedented pressure, which does not come from Taipei Wannian City, but from the other side of the sea.

"What a bunch of bastards, don't they know that now Zheng Chenggong's army has occupied Fujian?"

Again, he shouted indignantly at William's report.

"What a bunch of damn guys, they don't know, in the past we needed to maintain friendly relations with Zheng Chenggong, don't we need it now? Are they satisfied not only after they have buried Taiwan? ”

The reason why he was so angry was that three months ago, William, who was in charge of customs affairs, arrested Ming Guotong in the city on the charge of smuggling without his permission. If it's just an ordinary interpreter, it's nothing, but that person's identity is very special.

"Your Excellency, the reason why they arrested He Bin is probably to force you to resign."

Captain Andrew, who is a close confidant, pointed out the reason why William did this.

"Although He Bin and Gelansha City are confidential to collect taxes for the Zheng family, it is carried out with your acquiescence, this is to maintain friendly relations with the Zheng family, although it is against the law, but it is to maintain the relationship between us and the Zheng family,"

The reason why he was able to serve as governor of Taiwan for four years was precisely because compared to his previous eleven terms, he knew what was most important to the Netherlands, who had a foothold in Taiwan. Maybe by giving gifts to those aborigines, you can win favor. And the use of force to suppress those indigenous people who are really unwilling to cooperate. This soft-handed and hard-handed approach to the aborigines was very successful, and after many years of operation, most of the aborigines on the island had nominally accepted Dutch rule.

However, it is very clear that whether the Netherlands can gain a foothold in Taiwan does not depend at all on the indigenous people on the island, but on the Zheng family on the other side of the sea, and only by maintaining contact with the Zheng family can it be possible to maintain the interests of the Netherlands to the greatest extent.

Kuiyi's predecessors couldn't see this, so their tenure was only more than a year, and the shorter was only a few months, but Kuiyi clearly saw that Dutch trade in Taiwan was inseparable from the Zheng family, so he would do everything possible to maintain relations with the Zheng family.

"Two years ago, Zheng Chenggong led a fleet to Nanjing, and it was Zheng Tai who stayed in Xiamen, and he was in charge of the finances of Zheng Jun, and it was at that time that He Bin went to Xiamen as my secret envoy and signed a secret treaty with Zheng Tai......"

When mentioning this matter, there was a slight smugness in his tone, and he won the support of the Zheng family at the least cost.

"At that time, when Taiwan exported goods to Xiamen and other places controlled by the Zheng family, the Zheng family was collecting import taxes, but the areas controlled by the Zheng family were temporary, and their tax collection agencies were not complete, if the goods were unloaded to places that were not controlled by the Zheng family's forces, and then converted into small boats and then transported to Xiamen, Kinmen or Ningbo, then not a penny of tax could be collected...... ”

When mentioning the old things, although the matter has now been revealed, Yu Yi still looks very proud.

"So when Zheng Tai proposed to change the import tax to be levied on us, so as to avoid smuggling. This is undoubtedly very beneficial to us, both to prosper the economy of Formosa and to bring us closer to the Zheng family, but now, everything is ruined! Now not only do they want to destroy me, but Formosa's economy will also be devastated! ”

Of course, Kuai did not mention that in this secret agreement, Zheng Tai needed to pay a certain fee, and then entrusted all the tax affairs in Taiwan to He Bin, although on the surface this was done by the East India Company, but in fact, Kuai Yi was also an insider and a divider.

According to this method, it was expected that 180,000 taels of silver would be taxed every year, and if taxes were levied in Xiamen or Kinmen, it would be good to get 50,000 taels, and it would be worth spending a little handling fee, and 10% of the 15% handling fee could be obtained by one of them.

And this year, Kuiyi has already obtained more than 30,000 taels of silver from it, if no one uncovers the matter, he can naturally get the money all the time, but as William uncovers the matter under the pretext of smuggling, and now that he has lost such a large amount of money, how can Kuiyi not be heartbroken?

What worries him even more is that once He Bin is transferred to Batavia, the whole thing will be exposed, although it is for the benefit of the Netherlands, but the court will never approve the matter.

"Your Excellency, the most important thing now is He Bin!"

Captain Andrew looked at him and said.

"Now the explanation from the customs side is that the import rui that is imported into the import place cannot be collected at the export site, and all the taxes levied by He Bin in Taiwan are "export taxes", and he has collected excess export rui without authorization, embezzling the excess taxes, and now, he has been accused, if the news of Your Excellency's involvement in it leaks out, they will achieve their goals......

"Kill ......"

As soon as the words came out, Yu Yi realized that He Bin couldn't be killed, maybe he was a small person, but he was equivalent to the representative of the Zheng family, and this person couldn't be killed.

"Let him go!"

After a moment of contemplation, a pair of Captain Andrew commanded.

"Andrew, you are personally responsible for this matter, now He Bin is just under house arrest, you have to find a way to let him escape, tell him that someone wants to kill him, if he wants to get out of here alive, he must escape by himself......"

But when to escape?

He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and then deliberately arranged.

"It's going to be Local Day in a few days, Andrew, and you have to make sure he gets out of here on Local Day. ”

In order to maintain their rule over Taiwan, the Dutch held an annual "local day" to convene indigenous tribal leaders to meet with the Dutch governor in Taiwan, and indigenous tribal leaders pledged allegiance to the Dutch on this day. It was also one of the busiest days in the city of Geranza.

Because there are not many people in Taiwan in the Dutch, the Taiwanese Han are the most important helpers of the Dutch. The local Han Chinese mainly assisted the Dutch East India Company in the trading of goods. The land occupied by the Dutch was cultivated by the Han Chinese, who mostly lived in Seoul, outside the city of Geranza, to grow rice or sugar cane. When the leaders of the indigenous tribes entered the city of Geranza, the Han Chinese settlement outside the city of Geranza was also like a festival, and the streets were full of men from various tribes, who walked around the market with great interest, and then exchanged deer skins, deer whips and other goods for the goods of Han Chinese traders.

That is, when the market was full of natives, in a mansion, He Bin, who had already dressed up as a native, once again confirmed that the map of the waterway was not left behind, and only escaped from the house when the Dutch soldiers guarding him were not paying attention. He had secretly arranged for a two-sailed ship to anchor nearby. After escaping from his home, He Bin, who was dressed as a native, was not very conspicuous on the street full of natives, he lowered his head and went straight to the beach, where a small boat that had been waiting for a long time was waiting for him.

"Sooner or later, someone will come here again!"

When transferring the big ship by small boat, He Bin's eyes stared at the city of Relan Shacheng in the distance and secretly swore in his heart, he didn't expect that the bird would be like this, and those red-haired Yi actually wanted to kill him in order to protect themselves.

"When the time comes, today's old accounts will have to be counted with you again......"
