After replenishing fresh water in Penghu, Yang Chao sailed to Taiwan that night. After three days of wandering, the Yang Dynasty finally entered the sea off Chengtianfu.

Chengtianfu is the red embedded city captured by Zheng Chenggong, and it is also the Tainan city of Taiwan in later generations. Later Tainan City, one of the six capitals of Taiwan, with a population of nearly 2 million, was a subtropical resort paradise. But Tainan in the last years of the Ming Dynasty was not like this.

At that time, Taiwan's large-scale development was organized by the pirate leader Wang Zhi, but at that time, these pirates did not want to live in Taiwan for a long time, but just wanted to have a foothold far away from the mainland, so as to avoid the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army, so there were not many people living here in Tainan.

Later, the Dutch East India Company occupied Penghu and used it as an entrepot for East Asian trade. In the third year of the Apocalypse, the Dutch built a simple city here in Tainan, which was the predecessor of Chengtianfu.

However, the Ming army at this time was not the Qing army of later generations, and the Ming Dynasty was probably the most effective of all the last dynasties. In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the Fujian General Army learned that the Dutch had occupied Penghu, so they led the army to exterminate it. After eight months of fierce fighting with the Chinese Ming Dynasty, the Dutch and the Chinese authorities agreed to destroy the fortresses and forts at Penghu and transfer them to the island of Taiwan, with China not interfering in the Dutch occupation of Taiwan.

After the Dutch occupied Tainan, on the site of the original city of Yancheng, the large-scale castle Orange City was rebuilt, and in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, it was renamed Geranza City in the name of Zeeland Province, the Dutch Province. At that time, the castle was the main hub for Dutch rule over the entire island of Taiwan and foreign trade.

The Dutch systematically developed Tainan here, introduced farmers from Chinese mainland, and before Zheng Chenggong conquered Taiwan, there were more than 10,000 Chinese and 1,500 Dutch in Taiwan.

Zheng Chenggong had no place on the mainland, so he hit the Dutch with his idea. In the fourth year of Shenwu, the first year after Zhu Hongsan occupied Nanjing, Zheng Chenggong led 25,000 soldiers and 300 warships to advance from Kinmen to Taiwan.

After ten months of hard fighting, Zheng Chenggong finally defeated the Dutch, and in June of the fifth year of Shenwu, the Dutch governor in Taiwan, Kuiyi, signed the surrender. The Dutch army handed over all the castles, weapons, supplies, and about 900 Dutch soldiers and civilians, including the wounded and sick, and finally evacuated Taiwan by boat.

After Zheng Chenggong took possession of Taiwan, he established the first Han regime in Taiwan, which also brought a wave of Han immigrants. Although Zheng Chenggong died shortly after conquering Taiwan in history, Zheng Jing and Zheng Ke? He continued to rule Taiwan for more than 20 years, and under Chen Yonghua's planning, he introduced the palaces, temples and various rules and regulations of the Chinese Ming system, which laid the foundation for Taiwan to become a society dominated by Han Chinese culture in the future, not just another overseas Chinatown.

However, in the eleventh year of Shenwu now, Zheng Chenggong is still alive and well, and he has not been angry with his son yet. Therefore, after Zheng Chenggong learned that the Yang Dynasty had come to Taiwan in person, he took over the Yang Dynasty in the Yanping County Palace. The king of Yanping was crowned by Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang after learning that Zheng Chenggong occupied Taiwan, after all, this is also regarded as expanding the territory.

Yang Chao walked into the Yin'an Hall of Yanping Palace, and a middle-aged literati sitting in the middle, wearing the uniform of the county king, was Zheng Chenggong, the king of Yanping County.

Yang Chao hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Grass people Yang Chao pays a visit to the prince!" ”

Zheng Chenggong is eloquent and strategic, which is different from the short-sighted Zheng Lian. Seeing Yang Chao kowtowing to him, he quickly stood up and said, "Uncle Yang, please get up quickly, there are no outsiders here, no need for this big gift!" ”

Yang Chao was grateful when he heard Zheng Chenggong say this, but he still said: "Lord Wang, it's different now than before, after all, we are officials, how can we be square without rules!" ”

At this time, a middle-aged scribe in his forties beside Zheng Chenggong said, "Yang Chao, aren't you in Nan'an?" What are you here for? "The one who spoke was He Tingbin, who had made great contributions to the capture of Taiwan and neutrality, and is now appointed as the governor of the palace.

Although Yang Chao and He Tingbin served Zheng Zhilong together, the relationship between the two was not very good. After Zheng Zhilong surrendered, the Yang Dynasty and He Tingbin parted ways, one returned to his hometown Nan'an to retire, and the other worked as a messenger for the Dutch.

Yang Chao glared at He Tingbin and then said, "Lord Wang, the grass people are here to deliver a letter to Lord Wang!" There is news from Yunnan that in November last year, Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang surrendered and is now being escorted to Beijing! ”

Zheng Chenggong heard the news like five thunderbolts, the mainland has not fought in recent years, not because the soldiers and horses are not well prepared, nor that the navy is inferior to himself, one of the main reasons is that everyone is a Ming courtier, and it is really not good to kill each other. Of course, there is a secondary reason, that is, Zhu Hongsan's navy is fighting with the Dutch in Luzon, and he has no time to take care of Taiwan here for the time being.

But now that Zhu Youlang's surrender is over, Zheng Chenggong has no political backer, and at the same time, Zhu Hongsan has no Yunnan containment, and he can even draw troops to deal with Zheng Chenggong.

He Tingbin was originally a Dutch general, although he spared no effort in cooperating with Zheng Chenggong to occupy Taiwan, but he was still pro-Dutch, and then heard Yang Chao say this He Tingbin said to Zheng Chenggong: "Lord, now that this is the case, it is better for us to take refuge in the Dutch, or occupy Taiwan and establish ourselves as emperors!" ”

At this time, a young literati in his twenties beside Zheng Chenggong was shocked, and quickly stood up and said: "Lord Wang, we are of Chinese Miao descent, how can we take refuge in those barbarians?" Didn't the prince break with the old prince for this reason? Do you have to go back to the old ways today? ”

The person who spoke was Chen Yonghua, the prototype of Wei Xiaobao's master Chen Jinnan in the Lu Ding Ji.

Chen Yonghua was born in Chongzhen for seven years, and Chen Yonghua's father's name is Chen Ding. Chen Ding was raised in the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty's Apocalypse, and Chongzhen was a jinshi in the seventeenth year. When Chen Yonghua was young, he was sent to Longxi County, Zhangzhou Prefecture, and passed the imperial examination and obtained the qualification of Longxi student. In the first year of Shenwu, the Qing army captured Tong'an, and Chen Ding hanged himself in Minglun Hall. At that time, Chen Yonghua was only 15 years old and was a doctoral student. After the Qing army entered the city, Chen Yonghua fled, when Zheng Chenggong occupied Xiamen, trying to restore the Ming Dynasty, and was recruiting the world's scholars, Chen Yonghua went to vote for Zheng Chenggong.

At that time, Wang Zhongxiao, the former soldier of the Southern Ming Dynasty, recommended Chen Yonghua, Zheng Chenggong and Chen Yonghua talked about current affairs, and Zheng Chenggong said happily after the incident: "Fufu, you are today's Mr. Wolong." Then Zheng Chenggong gave Chen Yonghua the position of joining the army and treated him with courtesy.

Chen Yonghua is different from He Tingbin, who was born as a pirate, Chen Yonghua has been poisoned by Confucianism for many years, and he didn't even shave his hair after surrendering to the Manchu Dynasty, so can he still go to the strange-looking Dutch? That was worse than killing him.

Zheng Chenggong nodded when he heard Chen Yonghua say this: "Fufu is very right, how can I succumb to barbarians when I wait for the Heavenly Empire?" Don't mention it again if you take refuge with the Dutch in the future! ”

Zheng Chenggong's teacher is Qian Qianyi, a university scholar, who has been deeply poisoned by Confucianism since he was a child.

He Tingbin hurriedly bowed down to accept Zheng Chenggong's reprimand, but this didn't solve the problem! What if the other side is eyeing the Dutch and does not turn to the Dutch?

"Lord Wang, now that our army has occupied Taiwan for a few years, it is still difficult for the island to be self-sufficient, and in previous years, the Yang Dynasty brothers smuggled over the materials. Now that the emperor has surrendered, the other side must begin to strictly blockade the coast, so we will not be able to hold out for a few years! ”

Zheng Chenggong frowned, which is also a problem. A few years ago, the other side turned a blind eye to smuggling, but now that the emperor has surrendered, Emperor Shenwu must turn his gun and clean himself up, what can I do?

Yang Chao saw that everyone in the hall bowed their heads and pondered, and quickly stood up and said, "Lord Wang, the grass people still have something to say. The grass people came this time to be entrusted by the prefect of Quanzhou, Xin Zixiu, to send a letter to the prince! After Yang Chao finished speaking, he took out the letter in the gap between his clothes and handed it to Zheng Chenggong.

He Tingbin had originally been at odds with Yang Chao, but now seeing that Yang Chao had become a spy on the other side, he said angrily: "Okay! It turns out that you have become a traitor to the Yang Dynasty! Lord Wang, please kill Yang Chao, he will definitely inform Zhu Hongsan of the river water situation in Chengtianfu when he goes back, then we will be in danger! ”

Zheng Chenggong's household department supervisor Yang Ying, who had a good relationship with the Yang Dynasty back then, now sees that He Tingbin is here to kill the Yang Dynasty, so he quickly stood up and said: "Lord, the Yang Dynasty has been transporting food and materials for us for many years, if you want to take refuge in Zhu Hongsan, you have already taken refuge, you don't have to wait until now, please check the prince!" ”

Zheng Chenggong was not so confused that he was about to kill someone after listening to a word, after Yang Ying finished speaking, Zheng Chenggong said to He Tingbin: "This king trusts Uncle Yang and can't betray us, don't say it in the future!" ”

After Zheng Chenggong finished speaking, he opened Xin Zixiu's letter and watched it, and the letter was very simple, first talking about the friendship between the two parties to resist the Qing Dynasty together. Then it is to tell Zhu Hongsan that he is militarily powerful, what warships are like clouds and fierce generals like rain, and as for ordinary soldiers, they have become heavenly soldiers and generals, one can fight one hundred and eighty.

In the end, Xin Zixiu said: The general bravely crowned the three armies, only to be born for the world, abandoned the small ambition of the bird, and Mu Honghu soared high. In the past, due to the change of opportunity, he encountered the master; Meritorious service, famous in history. Zhu Lunhua hub, embracing thousands of miles, how strong! How to fight for the captives of the dead, Wen Mingdi, and bend the knee to the dome, what a bad evil!

Xin Zixiu's words mean General Zheng, you are very powerful, you fought in the Manchu Dynasty back then, and you are an unborn talent, why not lose your ambition to run the bird, and learn that Honghu to fly in the sky? Now that the situation in the country has changed, your former master Zhu Youlang is no longer good, but when you meet Zhu Hongsan, the master of all generations, it is better to follow Zhu Hongsan to make contributions and go down in history? Why do you have to hide in small Taiwan and bend your knees to all forces, it's really not what you, a powerful person, should do!

Xin was born as a scholar, and of course the letters were written by quoting scriptures, and Zheng Chenggong learned from Qian Qianyi, so he could naturally watch them smoothly. Chen Yonghua is also a scholar, and he also understands what Xin Zixiu means. But the other generals don't understand, these guys are all pirates, even He Tingbin, who is dressed as a scholar, is just a silver-like wax spear, and he can recognize the words, but he doesn't understand what it means.
