After Feng Ting was escorted away by the Jinyi guards, Fang Yuan asked Najib who had counted the results of the battle, "Commander Najib, how much silver and grain have been found from the city?" ”

Najib is also an honest sheren, and as another general, it is indispensable to operate from it and enrich his own pockets. But Najib had lived in the mountains all year round, and his sensitivity to silver was still much lower, and he truthfully reported, "Forty-three thousand five hundred and sixty taels of silver." ”

Fang Yuan was slightly stunned, Zheng Sen didn't even take all the silver with him before leaving, which showed the haste of his retreat.

I thought that Zheng Sen would stay in Taiwan City and wait for death, but I never thought that Zheng Sen would let him give up such a strong military city and escape, this Zheng Sen, where is he in such a hurry?

Fang Yuan became suspicious, and asked again, "Is there a Zheng army sergeant who surrendered in Taiwan City?" ”

Najib said, "No, not a single one, I heard from the people in the city that the Zheng army had withdrawn from Chichicheng two days ago. ”

Fang Yuan continued to ask, "Zheng Sen's family members, all taken away?" ”

Najib's cronies sent the list and said, "Zheng Sen's wife, Dong, committed suicide by drinking wine in order not to be humiliated. Listening to the women in the house, Zheng Sen only took away one of his favorite concubines, Tian Shi, as the nurse of his son Zheng Jing before leaving, and all the other concubines and maidservants were left in the Zheng Mansion and none of them were taken away. ”

A person who doesn't even care about money and women can also be seen to be ambitious. Zheng Sen did not flee overseas, but took enough sergeants with him in order to make a comeback. Encountering such a fierce opponent who has been defeated and fought repeatedly, but has stood up again and again, Fang Yuan is both helpless and admirable, without such an opponent, there will be a lot less excitement, and he can't help but sigh and say, "Zheng Sen, what a fierce opponent!" ”

Hu Qi couldn't help but ask, "Governor Fang, these concubines of Zheng Sen, the maids and maids in the room, are quite beautiful, how should they be treated?" ”

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said, "I wouldn't have humiliated the Zheng family, this Dong family is also a Zhenlie woman, posthumously named her the Lady of the Third Grade, and buried her!" Zheng Sen's concubine and maidservant, as a reward for this battle, reward the meritorious generals! Hu Qi and Naji, plus Shi Lang and Shi Fu, the commanders of the water division, and Zhang Ying, who has made great contributions, the five of you will divide these concubines and maids equally, and take them home to be concubines! ”

He generously distributed all these beautiful women to the meritorious generals, Hu Qi was secretly happy, but his face was still calm as water and asked, "Governor Fang, you don't leave any of them?" ”

If Fang Yuan wanted a woman, Liu Ru was like this, and even Chen Yuan could take it back to the house, so why take a concubine from Zheng Sen. He was having a headache from being tossed by two women in the backyard, where did he have the heart to take another woman back and make up three landlords?!

Fang Yuan looked around and said, "Najib, you go and count these women who were looted by the Zheng army to be military prostitutes. Those who have a home to return to are to be compensated with two taels of silver per person and sent them back. If you are homeless, you will be given to the sergeants of the Xuanjia Army! ”

In the early morning of the next day, Hu Qi, as the executioner, was ordered to execute the offending sergeants in public outside the city gate of Taiwan City, and the main general Feng Ting also beat a hundred military staff in public.

Najib began to distribute compensation to the women who had been forcibly robbed as military prostitutes, and many of the onlookers were relatives of the women. The wife and daughter of the family were robbed by Zheng Sen as military prostitutes before, and they dared not speak out. At present, Yuan actually went against Zheng's style, not only released these women, but even gave compensation.

This small move immediately regained the hearts of the people of Taiwan City, and they knelt on the ground and thanked Fang Yuan for his great kindness.

The situation in Taiwan City stabilized, Zhang Ying, who went to pursue the Red Embedded City, also led the army back to report, and Zheng Sen and his party also abandoned the Red Embedded City and fled overseas, nowhere to be found.

Fang Yuan rewarded Zhang Ying, ordered him to be stationed in Chichicheng to settle the people, and sent people to Penghu to inform Shi Lang that Zheng Sen had fled overseas, so he sent a sentinel ship to reconnoitre, and the fleet left Penghu and sailed to the island of Taiwan to rest.

A month later, Shi Lang's fleet arrived at Luergang and camped in the inner bay of the Taijiang River. Shi Lang himself came to Taiwan City to report to Fang Yuan on the situation of Kinmen and Penghu in World War II.

Fang Yuan rewarded him with 10,000 taels of silver, and among Zheng Sen's concubines, he left him the most beautiful one as a reward.

Shi Lang hurriedly refused the reward, and said with a smile, "Boss, you spare me!" My wife's temper, if I bring a woman back, I guess neither the woman nor I can enter the house. ”

Fang Yuan was slightly stunned, with Shi Lang's identity and status, he didn't have to look at Xu Ru's face. He is so afraid of guilt, not because of Xu Ru's identity as the county lord, but because he really likes Xu Ru.

Fang Yuan remembered that the night he had with Xu Ru before, he almost caused trouble, although he was innocent, he had no intention of having any entanglement with Xu Ru. But everything started because of him, before Xu Ru married Shi Lang, he repeatedly stated that he wanted to serve with the princess, and it was he who forcibly asked Xu Ru to marry Shi Lang and win over Shi Lang. Now that he has caused such a, he is to blame.

For this brother who was kept in the dark, Fang Yuan felt deep guilt. However, if this matter is exposed for no reason, the consequences will be endless. It is unknown whether Xu Ru can be Shi Lang's wife anymore, and he has no face to face Shi Lang again.

Once this gap is created, if you want to bridge it, it is far away.

Fang Yuan thought about it, but decided to hide it for Xu Ru, hoping that this woman would know that she was lost and would not make crazy moves again. After returning to Jiangnan, he will also make the princess and Xu Ru have a deep heart-to-heart relationship again, and dispel Xu Ru's ridiculous thoughts.

At the same time that Shi Lang returned to Taiwan to garrison the main island, Balai, the patriarch of the Paiwan tribe of the Pingtung clan, sent a letter asking for peace, claiming that he was willing to give up his claim to the land of the Pingtung Plain, and all the precedents of the Illumination Dynasty and the Netherlands. The land belongs to the imperial court and the government, and the Paiwan clan is only responsible for cultivation and truthfully pays the land dues.

Before Fang Yuan's recovery of Taiwan, the main enemy was Zheng Sen, and all his thoughts were on conquering Zheng Sen. Now that Zheng Sen has fled Taiwan, the most serious problem facing Fang Yuan is how to deal with the two largest tribes in Taiwan, Amei and Paiwan.

Under the joint attack of more than 40 aborigines in the mountain special battalion, several tribes of the Ami tribe have lost 100 miles of hunting grounds and retreated to the vicinity of Sun Moon Lake in the Ali Mountains. If the fight continues, it is estimated that in less than a year, the Ami people will lose all the mountains and forests.

And the Paiwan clan thought that Zheng Sen would be able to hold out for a long time, and then decide which side to take refuge into. Unbeknownst to him, Zheng Sen only lasted less than three months, and then collapsed on all fronts, directly forcing the Paiwan clan to a desperate situation. The current attitude of the Paiwan clan is to kneel directly to Fang Yuan and admit punishment and punishment.

Fang Yuan has been considering the strategic issue of Taiwan these days, and the patriarch of the Atayal tribe personally came to ask Fang Yuan to reallocate the hunting grounds of the Ami tribe in the deep mountains according to the number of clansmen and reward them to the meritorious clans.

Fang Yuan is currently very entangled.

If the war with the two clans continues! The war is bound to be protracted, with countless casualties. What's more, after defeating the Ami and Paiwan clans, it was the Atayal clan that really benefited. Supporting a stronger Atayal to come out, the situation on the island of Taiwan will not necessarily improve.

No matter how honest and obedient the Atayal clan is now, Fang Yuan is unwilling to support a big clan that is above all the aboriginal ethnic groups to come out and ask for trouble, and Fang Yuan has temporarily shelved the request of the Atayal patriarch.

To govern Taiwan, it is necessary to have a large number of people who are familiar with the customs and conditions of the people in Taiwan, and Fang Yuan immediately ordered to post a merit order in the city of Taiwan, as long as those who can put forward a thorough strategy for governing Taiwan, whether they are Han Chinese, aborigines, or whether they have merit or not, they can recommend themselves.

After the selection, Fang Yuan personally asked for advice and hired according to the quantity.

Two days after the order was posted, Jinyiwei came to report, and a small civil official under Zheng Sen, Chen Ding, came to meet Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan was slightly surprised, most people were not familiar with Chen Ding's name, but his son, it is estimated that there are many people who have heard of it.

His son is Chen Yonghua, in the Lu Ding Ji, his name is Chen Jinnan!
