Chapter 379: Governance
Wan Qianyang naturally gave Zheng Zhilong time to think about it, and he didn't expect that this person would agree on the spot, but once again he asked to know who recommended him, and was prevaricated by Wan Qianyang, Wan Qianyang said that it was an old man, but he believed it, which made Wan Qianyang speechless! Maybe it doesn't matter who it is, anyway, now Zheng Zhilong is also the last governor of this place, but this official position is a little unclear, it is too novel, and who is the person who made himself an official He is still confused at this time, anyway, judging from the observation of these days, he should be a good ruler. Being able to have so many foreigners serve him is also a manifestation of his ability!
While stabilizing the social order in the north of Taiwan, Wan Jiyang sent a telegram to the Oliver family, telling them to keep an eye on the news from Spain and the Netherlands, because he would definitely take action against Tainan in a few days to drive the Dutch out of Taiwan, and at the same time, the captives would build a large prison area for them to be reformed through labor. Wan Qiyang asked Douglas to continue to build the steamships he used, mainly because he was worried about how much history had changed in the peasant uprising in the Ming Dynasty, and another question was naturally what was the current situation in Sichuan. If the situation is urgent, Wan Qiyang has prepared the last set of plans, that is, to be independent first, and after development, use advanced military equipment and concepts to work step by step, and the slogan is naturally to strive for the happy life of the common people.
With Zheng Zhilong as a local to appease everyone, then Wan Qiyang asked the people of Zhengyang Chamber of Commerce to send grain seeds, so that everyone could start planting after spring, and now it is January 1629, that is to say, the Spring Festival of the Chinese lunar calendar is approaching, Wan Qiyang decided to take the whole of Taiwan before the Spring Festival, and then advance to the coastal cities.
Wan Qianyang himself stayed on the battleship, mainly because he wanted to know some changes after he left England at any time, except for Jack, no second person knew, in fact, Wan Qianyang trained a group of ten killer members, a team dedicated to assassination activities, after a period of time, Wan Qiyang had the idea of establishing an international assassination group, after all, he has the most advanced weapons and intelligence communication equipment in the world, and it feels too bad not to do this. Therefore, Wan Qianyang also has a secret wireless telegraph, which is another band used, and Wan Qianyang specially made a multi-band telegraph machine to send and receive telegrams. If Wan Qiyang learned that someone betrayed him, there would only be one end, so he didn't worry about who dared to betray him at all.
It's been a month since Zhuangyang left, and it stands to reason that he should have arrived in Chengdu Mansion, and three days later it will be the ---Spring Festival, a festival that the Chinese working people have attached great importance to since ancient times. On this day, Wan Qiyang issued an order to have another warship go around to the southern end to carry out a two-way flanking attack, completely driving the Dutch invaders out of the island of Taiwan. On land, Wan Qiyang has always taken a step-by-step approach, and mobilized the masses to point out the hiding places of the fleeing foreigners, and then unified surveillance. If they have a dignitary from their country or power, then they have to come up with the corresponding money. This can be regarded as Wan Qiyang's raising people with people, of course, the 'people' in front are the 'enemies', and the 'people' in the back refer to the 'people'!
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the troops on land encountered the active defense of the Dutch, after all, Wan Qiyang had been in Taipei for a month, so the Netherlands would enter the defense arrangement in their base camp no matter what. What's more, Wan Qiyang ordered the troops to advance all the way to the south, and the Dutch side has already lost a lot of cities and land!
Of course, such defensive resistance did not work at all, the No. 3 battleship parked in the south also only launched two attacks, the opponent's defense was broken like tofu, and finally Wan Qiyang's team counted the number of people, five people were wounded, no one died, and the other side was captured by more than 1,000 people, and the repairs of these Dutch prisoners were started in the places damaged in the battle, and at the same time patrols were carried out in the waters south of Taiwan, including the waters near the Nansha Islands, if non-Chinese fishing boats were found, they would be intercepted, and those who did not listen to the advice would be hijacked. If you resist, there is only a dead end. This is also equivalent to announcing to the outside world that this sea area belongs to Taiwan and that the territory is sacred and inviolable. And the battleship is equipped with a tweeter, which occupies the highest point of morality.
Wan Qiyang parked the No. 2 battleship that sent Zhuangyang to the mouth of the Yangtze River near the East China Sea, mainly restricting ships near Japan from entering the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, and the No. 1 battleship he was riding was placed in the waters of Taipei, mainly to respond to emergencies on both sides, plus the coke on the No. 3 battleship was only half used, and now the coke on the three battleships is fully loaded, so there is no need to worry about insufficient fuel. Wan Qianyang now learned that Tainan was successfully occupied, and that more than 1,000 Dutch people had been captured, which gave Wan Qianyang an idea, and he sent a telegram to the Douglas family, asking their shipping industry to release the news that the Dutch islands in Asia had been captured by the locals more than 1,000 people. Wan Qianyang mainly wants to see what important people these people have in the Netherlands, even if they are relatives and friends, then everyone is a fortune, Wan Qiyang now knows that it is really profitable at sea, and the development of the maritime army is a necessary procedure.
Now that Wan Qianyang has occupied all the Taiwan Island, the land originally occupied by foreigners has also been taken over by Wan Qianyang, Wan Qianyang temporarily let Zheng Zhilong manage the occupied city, but now all of them are under his own jurisdiction, so the manpower is not enough, so Wan Qianyang suggested that Zheng Zhilong began to mobilize the local local residents, and any village chief or lieutenant chief who had been in the past can recommend themselves and accept the appointment of the current ruler, and those who have no major faults in the three-month internship will be reused. At the same time, the local people were informed that all the workers who participated in the subsequent government work would be paid their due, and if more than half of the family participated in the work, they would receive the distribution of land. This is very exciting news for all the locals. You must know that whoever is the ruler in this era will occupy the land first, and then let you rent the land to farm, and then the harvest will give you a little food, if the harvest is not good, you don't know where to find food after paying the rent!
For China's peasants, who have always regarded the land as their lifeline, this news would be simply crazy. At the same time, Wan Qiyang ordered Zheng Zhilong to promulgate a series of laws and regulations, and formulated some systems, anyway, according to the current social atmosphere, there are not many prohibitions that need to be proposed, but they like the development of agriculture and commerce. The government promulgated a voluntary policy of labor, but because of the previous rule, many people came to participate in this work. After inquiry, I understood that the government's labor is to build roads, and the roads are divided into roads and railways, of course, the rails of the railway, Wan Qiyang, have long been loaded on ships, and there are even two steam tractors, so that the ports at both ends of Taipei and Tainan are connected first, so that the land can also be quickly opened to traffic, which can not only get rapid support in economic development, but also can be applied to the military, and at the same time, it is also proposed that male citizens who have reached the age of 18 start to join the army from the second year, which is a compulsory soldier, of course, who has a soldier in the family to say that it is very honorable, You will get special treatment, you will be exempt from some taxes, and those who serve in the army will also have salary allowances.
