At the end of the negotiation meeting, the chambers of commerce of various countries put forward a request, that is, they hoped to board the ship to observe the behemoth ship-artillery mother ship built by Fang Yuan.

The artillery carriers are there, and they can't keep any secrets if they don't let them see them. As for the core technology that really makes the giant ship stand tall in the wind and waves, it is the composite steel and paint purchased from Taobao, these cross-era products, which cannot be imitated by Western countries.

Fang Yuan ordered Qin Zhan and Shi Lang to take the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce of the Nations to visit the artillery carrier, and strictly ordered him to say what he should say, and not to reveal a word that should not be said.

Taking advantage of the two days when everyone visited the artillery mothership and signed the contract, Fang Yuan slept in the mansion for two days, recuperating his spirits.

On the third day, the negotiation meeting ended, and the chambers of commerce of various countries dispersed one after another, Shi Lang led the artillery carrier formation back to Zhenhaiwei to make the final preparations for the expedition to Penghu Island.

Bypassing Kinmen and directly attacking Penghu was a military adventure that could only succeed and not fail. Once you encounter strong winds and waves, it is difficult to retreat.

After Shi Lang discussed with Fang Yuan, he decided to mobilize 5,000 Xuanjia soldiers, gather some naval warships, capture the port along the coast of Kinmen, as a base for transit and rest, and then attack Liu Guoxuan's naval division in Penghu, which can be attacked, retreated, and defended.

Fang Yuan led Feng Ting, the general army of Fujian, Naji, the commander of the mountain special battalion, and Shi Fu, the deputy commander of the naval division, to reorganize the army in Quanzhou Port.

When the appointed time came, Fang Yuan's fleet of 150 warships and 500 troop transports marched to Jilong Harbor in Taipei.

On the way, we encountered a small wind and waves, although there were small bumps but there was no danger, and we arrived safely at Jilong Harbor in Taipei after five days.

Zheng Sen captured the Chicken Coop Harbor for less than two months, but only drove out the Dutch garrisons in Tainan Taiwan City and Chiji City, and then gradually stabilized the situation in Tainan, and had no time to care about the Chicken Coop and Tamsui Cities in Taipei.

Today, Jonlong Harbor is still garrisoned by a Dutch army of 200 men and three large clippers. Fang Yuan's huge fleet of sailors had just appeared in the reconnaissance field of Chicken Coop Harbor, and when the Dutch people saw the overwhelming sailors, they couldn't tell whether they were the Zheng family sailors, and they knew that if they resisted forcibly, they would inevitably be wiped out and sacrificed in vain, so they directly hoisted the flag on the three large clippers to show submission and obedience.

Fang Yuan also ordered not to shell the Dutch clippers, but to send Shi Fu's warships to land first. In order to avoid angering the enemy who came to attack, the battery in Joncoop Harbor did not fire a single shot, and Shi Fu successfully collected three warships, as well as 100 Dutch soldiers and 10 artillery pieces in the military port.

After everything went well, Fang Yuan then landed on the shore, and ordered Shi Fu to escort a hundred Dutch soldiers up, first informing everyone that an agreement had been reached with the Chamber of Commerce of the Dutch East India Company in Quanzhou Port, and that the Dutch forces must withdraw from Guangdong and Taiwan.

Moreover, Fang Yuan gave preferential treatment to the prisoners and was willing to leave, so he would arrange for the troop transport ship to be sent to the port of Quanzhou and handed over to the Chamber of Commerce of the Dutch East India Company to receive, but the clippers, artillery, and all materials must be confiscated.

The Netherlands had occupied Taiwan for twenty or thirty years, and some of the sergeants had already made their homes there. In addition, those who are willing to venture to the East are basically outlaws, gangsters, and prisoners from the Netherlands. Even if these people returned to the Netherlands, they would not be able to survive, and would only be sent to different overseas colonies.

Instead of constantly wandering to different colonies, it is better to honestly stay in Taiwan, where you have lived for more than ten or twenty years, and live a stable life.

Shi Fu asked everyone about their thoughts one by one, and among the 100 Dutch sergeants, there were 57 who were willing to stay on the island of Taiwan, and 48 who wanted to return to Quanzhou Port.

Fang Yuan ordered Shi Fu to keep the sergeants who were willing to return to Quanzhou Port in solitary custody, and recruited 57 people who were willing to submit to the island of Taiwan, and ordered them to go to Jilong City to persuade the Dutch defenders in the city to surrender. The conditions of surrender and treatment are compared with the standards of Jilong Port.

Three days later, the defenders of Chicken Coop replied that they had been running Chicken Coop for at least a few decades since the Spanish built Chicken Coop City until the Netherlands took over Chicken Coop City. The Dutch had accumulated a large amount of property in Chicken Coop City, and they had not had time to transfer all of them in a hurry, so they left a mountain of supplies in Chicken Coop City.

As long as Fang Yuan allowed them to take their belongings, he was willing to open the door and surrender and leave the island of Taiwan.

Fang Yuan will not be easily fooled, the so-called property, this range is large. The money and materials of the entire Chicken Coop City can be regarded as property. If you want to empty the chicken coop city and leave Fang Yuan an empty city, there is no way.

Fang Yuan directly rejected this condition and only put forward one surrender condition, that is, Jilong City decided to surrender or resist within two days. If they surrender without a fight, each of them may be given fifty taels of silver. If the cannon is fired in Jicoop City, it will be regarded as a declaration of war and resistance, and after the war, all of them will be assigned to hard labor and will not be allowed to return to China for the rest of their lives.

Surrender has a silver hair, resistance must be issued as a slave, these Dutch sergeants are not fools, in such a situation of disparity between friend and foe, who will resist? As for the lost silver and materials, they must also be handed over when they return to China, and they have nothing to do with half a dime, so why bother to fight and kill for property that does not belong to them.

Two days later, all the Dutch soldiers in Chicken Coop City laid down their weapons and surrendered out of the city, and Fang Yuan's 30,000 troops also entered Chicken Coop City without blood.

After successfully entering the Chicken Coop City, Fang Yuan immediately incorporated the ninety-five Dutch sergeants who were willing to stay on Taiwan Island into the Xuanjia Army as guides. The remaining one hundred and three people who were willing to leave were given fifty taels of silver each, and gave them two troop transports, and ordered them to depart at once.

As for whether they will encounter wind and waves on the way, and whether they can return to Quanzhou Port smoothly, it is not what Fang Yuan can be responsible for, it all depends on their luck.

After sending off all the Dutch people, Fang Yuan ordered all the sergeants to rest and recuperate in the city of chicken coops, and did three urgent things.

One of them was to order the Hokkien-speaking sergeants in the army to settle the people in Jilong City, and explain that Fang Yuan's attack on Taiwan was only aimed at the Zheng clan in Tainan and had nothing to do with the people. Most of the people in Jilong City are Ming people, and they speak Hokkien, so that the Hokkien-speaking sergeant An Min is twice the result with half the effort.

Second, he sent Feng Ting to count all the silver and armaments in the chicken coop city, especially gunpowder and lead bullets. In the past, due to the seafaring march, in order to load as many sergeants as possible, the gunpowder carried by the army was not sufficient. I can only hope to replenish it in the chicken coop city, otherwise I can only arrange for troop carriers to return to Quanzhou Port to transport gunpowder.

Third, send people to recruit the Dutch garrison in Tamsui City. Tamsui City is located in present-day Taipei, and it is also the second most important military city in Taipei.

The third is to recruit Taiwanese aborigines who came to the city to do sulfur and deer skin business, as well as local businessmen, and Dutch soldiers who surrendered, so that they can gather information on the major aboriginal ethnic groups in Taichung and Taitung, and the tribes. Then, according to the information gathered, people were sent to the major tribes one by one, as well as the Shengfan tribes, so that the patriarchs and tribal leaders of these tribes all went to Jicoop City for a meeting. Fang Yuan wanted to announce to them the current policy of governing Taiwan.

If they dare to resist and can't come, and then obstruct the Xuanjia army from passing through the tribes and tribes of Taichung and Taitung, Fang Yuan will fully support its hostile tribes and carry out a policy of ethnic extermination.

After two days and two nights of research, Fang Yuan sent a total of 100 messengers to the tribes in Taichung and Taitung, and ordered the patriarchs and leaders of these tribes to convene the most important tribal assembly in Taiwan's history in Jilong City a month later.
