Text Chapter 1211 Crossing the Creek

"What does Hutchison want to do?" Song Ke was shocked and angry, there were more warships in the shipyard, and more and bigger guns were still being forged, they really wanted to upset the balance in Asia?

If Zhang Han heard the words of this foreign devil, he would spit in his face.

These bastards, colonized by thousands of miles, have become theirs in the places they occupy, and each has drawn a sphere of influence, and no one wants to touch it except themselves.

Which country has not had tens of thousands of Chinese in the South Seas who have become colonies? Which country does the Chinese not control the economic lifeline of their place?

To talk about colonization, Zhang Han can rightly say that the white skin is dead, and this plot of Southeast Asia has been the sphere of influence of the Chinese since ancient times!

First the shore-based fort area, then the large storage area, and then the area of the shipyard and the firearms bureau, the whole area is very clearly divided, and the planning is quite neat, Song Ke nodded unconsciously, from this plan, it is not wrong to lose to Hutchison!

When it crossed the embankment, it was along Bengang Creek, and on both sides of a small river were large areas with various well-divided functions, and there were people everywhere who were isolated by soldiers, and of course there were many people who shouted and scolded Song Ke and others, but more of them were looking at these tall people with curious eyes, and their hair was either gold or red, Song Ke and others pretended to be calm, and when they walked to a large area of farmland, an official road facing north and south appeared in front of them.

The Dutchman stepped on the soles of his feet, felt a lot of gravel, and his face changed again.

It rains a lot on the island of Taiwan, and when it rains, the ground is muddy, and the path that is stepped out will become sparse, the Dutch built a few paths near the city of Geranza, which can barely be used for the carriage carrying goods, and it will be muddy when it rains, and the carriage can sink into half a wheel, in the process of building the city of Geranza, it has encountered such bad weather many times, and it is difficult to build the seaside, but the Dutch have been miserable.

The road built by Hutchison here can throw off about ten streets of dirt roads from the Dutch...... It is used about 5,000 catties of stone grinders, more than a dozen oxen pull the road non-stop, first determine the rammed earth layer, and then get the drainage, and finally pave the smashed stones, in the drainage and ventilation than the pure rammed earth road is much stronger, this is a decent highway in later generations, there is no problem with the carriage, and it is not afraid of rain, there will be no water to trap people and cars, this road is a total of 20 miles long, it costs a lot of money and consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, It is also a major project that the Taiwan side has decided to carry out in order to connect the base area of the Tunpu District, the barracks and various factory areas.

Song Ke's face changed color, but he couldn't help but sigh.

Hutchison really treats Taiwan as a foundation, but he has the intention of grabbing a handful, and the pattern and starting point of the two sides are different, and the foundation of the foundation is also different.

In terms of war potential, Hutchison is far stronger than the East India Company, and its weakness is the lack of naval heritage and insufficient ships, but from the current point of view, it is fortunate that such a battle is fought now, and if it is fought again every six months and a year, I am afraid that the Asian fleet of the East India Company will be completely wiped out.

Walking north from the road, there is a large barracks area not far away, there are several tunbao on the way, a large area of farmland has been opened up, the rice field has produced heavy ears of rice, the poles are bent, and at a glance you know that it will be a bumper year.

This is not surprising, the climate here in Taiwan is originally good, and you can harvest everything you plant, but with the addition of agricultural personnel, it is obviously about 30% better than the harvest on the Dutch side.

In addition, there are large sugarcane fields, which make Song Ke and others really greedy to watch.

White sugar is an out-and-out hard currency at this time, compared to salt, there is nothing worse than salt, how much can be produced, Taiwan's climate is quite conducive to growing sugar cane and squeezing sugar, or the colonists are the most concerned about this kind of thing, starting with the Dutch in Taiwan sugar squeezing, and then the Japanese came to build a larger Taiwan sugar company, and the entire Asian market Taiwan sugar has grabbed a lot.

Of course, Hutchison will not let it go, the sugarcane fields have been planted more and more, and the selection and cultivation of seeds, what the Zheng family can do well, there is no reason why Hutchison should not do better.

Tunpu is in the middle of a large farmland area, full of people watching the excitement.

Song Ke and the others only noticed at this time that in addition to the Han people of the Ming Kingdom, there were a large number of natives, and these natives did not scold, but the eyes that looked at them were quite special, and they could not see anything else except hatred and killing intent.

All the members of the mission have a look on their faces, which one is this singing by Hutchison?

Knowing that they don't deal with the natives, the killing is too ruthless, and they capture a large number of natives as free labor, and the hatred between the two sides is very deep.

"What are these natives doing here?" A Dutch attaché was enraged, and said with a disdainful face: "The people of the Ming Kingdom are also citizens of a civilized country, don't you know that you have to keep your distance from these natives of Shengbo?" ”

Another attaché said in a deep tone: "I'm afraid you called over to put pressure on us, right?" ”

"What's the use of that?" Someone else continued: "10,000 natives, we can beat them with a hundred people, and Hutchison expects these people to make a strong presence for them?" It's not a plus, it's a minus. ”

Song Kedu nodded slightly, the indigenous people are indeed just humanoid animals in their eyes, the Spanish have directly killed at least a million indigenous people in South America, and the rest of the colonial countries are not much better, they also trafficked a large number of blacks in Africa, the slave trade began hundreds of years ago, and now there is a gradual trend of getting bigger.

There is no political correctness among the whites of this era, racial discrimination is the mainstream idea, and the indigenous people are indeed not very competitive, and the indigenous natural conditions in South America are quite advantageous, and as a result, the civilization developed is quite reluctant even to the level of slave countries, and Africa is even more miserable, and has been communicating with the Mediterranean civilization, but it is still a mess of sand for thousands of years, and the degree of civilization is quite low, and it is no wonder that this era was bullied by advanced civilizations.

This is also the reason why China has been recognized, China has a highly developed and advanced civilization, the imperial examination will kill most civilizations in seconds, the Western civil service system and examination system are learned from China, Confucius and Lao Tzu's ideas have also been translated by missionaries, before the British mission to China in the Qianlong period, China is a mysterious and powerful oriental civilization in the eyes of the European powers, the Queen of England and the Tsar of Russia have sent envoys to China with their credentials, although they want to trade with China, But at least it was to interact with China with a fairly equal attitude, and in the era of the Great Colony, which respected national strength, it originally represented China's extremely high civilization achievements and strong national strength.

It was not until the fig leaf was torn off during the Qianlong period that the Westerners discovered that China was completely inconsistent with the rumors, that it was not a civilized country at all, and that the Qing government was arrogant and complacent, and the outcome was as everyone knows.

"Welcome."

A strong black man stood on the side of the road, on its left hand side was a small barracks, and now the camp gate was opened, and there were countless natives and soldiers of the merchant army who maintained order, and the tall young man spoke fluent Dutch to first greet Song Ke and the others, and then pointed to the barracks and school grounds, and said: "I know that you are here for peace negotiations, but before the negotiations, I would like to state one thing, your soldier Constantine, Nobel will be tried today. ”

"Why?" Song Ke was shocked and angry, and shouted angrily: "Didn't our captive you say that you guarantee safety and will not abuse and kill our captives? ”

"Under normal acts of war, we will treat prisoners well." It was Zheng Zhilong who spoke, he rushed back from the sea and knew that he had won a great victory, and he was happy but also deeply regretful, the impact of this war on Taiwan's marching division can be said to be crucial, it can be said that no matter how many naval battles are fought in the future, this naval battle will definitely occupy the most important position, and even in the future, Zhang Daren can really turn the company into a country and establish a new dynasty, and the naval battle of Taiwan's marching division will also be a very important stroke in the history of the new dynasty.

And although he is the captain of a big ship, his status is high, his ability is also recognized, and his status in the future is not low, but unfortunately he was entangled by the Dutch in Hirado at the most critical time of the naval battle, and he fought brilliantly against the crown prince, and he was also highly recognized by the marching division.

If it weren't for Zheng Zhilong's beating with the Tianchengwei, maybe the crown prince would have caught up with the battlefield...... Chang Wei and Zhang Xuwen comforted Zheng Zhilong in this way, but no matter what, there was no way to ask Zheng Zhilong to make up for his regret that he didn't catch up with the battle......

Originally, the face of the person who begged for the sea was black, but Zheng Zhilong's face is even darker now, and the words that could have been said tactfully have also become erect, not very similar to his usual behavior.

Song Ke was even more angry, he threw his arms and shouted, "What is a normal act of war, and what is not?" ”

Zheng Zhilong said in a deep voice: "The normal act of war is that you and our side are fighting at sea, and no matter how many of our people die, we will not vent our anger with your prisoners......"

Zheng Zhilong pointed to a camp not far away and said, "Your people are all over there, you can see if they are intact and have not been beaten and abused." ”

Song Ke had actually seen it a long time ago, and even if there were three hundred flies, it was quite conspicuous.

His own people were surrounded by wooden fences, sitting on the ground dejectedly, surrounded by guards and a large number of melon-eating crowds watching, how could Song Ke be in the mood to take a closer look, stared at it twice and waved his hand, it was considered to have been seen.
