First, Taiwan is now unstable, and there are Dutch people. The Netherlands was at its peak at this time, with tens of thousands of ships. In East Asia, there were at least three or four hundred armed merchant ships and fifty or sixty warships.

Zheng Chenggong went to rob Taiwan during this period, and once he lost, there would be no day to turn over. Even if he wins, it will be a miserable victory, and he has no ability to crusade against the Qing army again. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Zheng Chenggong to rush to compete for Taiwan when his strength is not enough. His men wouldn't have agreed.

Zheng Chenggong attacked Taiwan in 1661 because the Northern Expedition was lost at that time, and the Yunnan-Guizhou region of Yongli was also occupied by the Manchus.

Even then, many of his subordinates opposed going to Taiwan at that time, and some even rebelled and defected to the Manchus.

At that time, the Netherlands fought a thirty-year war with England and exhausted its national strength. Zheng successfully captured Taiwan, and the Dutch were unable to counterattack.

Second, Taiwan at that time was not the current Taiwan, there was no development, no population, and many indigenous people. Going to Taiwan is actually no different from occupying Kinmen.

Starting from Zheng Chenggong's father, Zheng Zhilong, there have been people who have migrated from the interior to Taiwan, but until Taiwan was captured by the Qing Dynasty in 1683, when the entire population of Taiwan was less than 300,000.

How much production can be produced by 300,000, and how many young and strong soldiers can be recruited, you can think about it for yourself.

Taiwan is vast and sparsely populated, and it takes at least three years to develop a piece of barren land to mature land in order to ensure the income from reclamation.

In three years, Zheng Chenggong needs to come up with how much money to develop Taiwan. And if you want to transport people to Taiwan, how many ships will need to be occupied.

If the income is not proportional to the effort, not many people will be willing to do this kind of loss-making business. Otherwise, when Zheng Zhilong had thousands of ships, why didn't he recover Taiwan.

Second, it was precisely because Zheng Chenggong only occupied a few prefectures and counties that he would not attract the attention of the Qing army at the beginning. At this time, the Manchu Tartars focused on exterminating Yongli and bulldozing the rebels such as Jin Shengheng in Jiangxi and Li Chengdong in Guangdong.

Historically, Zheng Chenggong was valued by the Manchus during the Northern Expedition and the occupation of Taiwan, and was not valued by the Manchus in other periods, at least he was not regarded as the primary enemy.

Third, Zheng Chenggong also wants to occupy more territory, but the strength is a problem. It is impossible to take 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses all the way to Beijing, and then claim the title of king. When others see him, bow down to him! Written like this, does anyone read it?

Historical texts are actually very difficult to write, and if you hang up, some people will say that you write scribble, and it is impossible to achieve it.

If you don't open the hanging, others say that you don't open the hanging, there is a bird meaning.

It's hard to reconcile! How to grasp the scale is a skill that only the great god has mastered.

I'm still slowly exploring as a newbie, and I hope to be able to master it in the future.

Now, please bear with me and encourage me. Perhaps you are witnesses to the rise of a novice.

The fat man also knows that if it heats up slowly, it will speed up.
