Taiwan?!

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then there was a look of surprise on their faces.

Indeed, for them, although most of them are people from the coastal area. However, since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Huaxia seems to refuse to be associated with the sea, so the subconscious in their bones makes them pay little attention to overseas places.

But now that Liang Zhonghao said this, he understood everything.

Indeed, Taiwan is very suitable as a breakthrough point for the next expansion of the Dragon God Sect in this situation!

Because although Taiwan is an island, it is very large in size and has been naturalized for a long time.

As early as the Three Kingdoms period, it was included in the territory of Eastern Wu. Later dynasties also maintained their rule over Taiwan and communicated with each other. In the 23rd year of the Kangxi reign of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the imperial court officially set up the Taiwan Prefecture, which governed Taiwan County (now Tainan), Fengshan County (now Kaohsiung Zuoying), and Zhuluo County (now Chiayi), which belonged to Fujian Province.

Liang Zhonghao saw that everyone did not object at this time, but looked thoughtful, and continued to point to the giant map on the table and said: "As far as I know, as early as the sixteenth year of Jiaqing, the Manchu court counted the household registration of the Taiwan government. Excluding the indigenous people in Taiwan's mountainous areas, there are more than two million people! Most of them are immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong. They reclaimed wasteland, made Taiwan's agriculture prosperous, and were able to provide large quantities of rice and cane sugar to the mainland. On the other hand, the various goods flowing into Taiwan from the mainland have in turn allowed the Taiwan government to develop......"

He already means a star. Taiwan wants to have a population, an economy, and agriculture, handicrafts, and other aspects. At the same time, it has not really entered the eyes of the Manchu rulers. It is definitely a good direction for the expansion of the Dragon God Sect!

I heard what Liang Zhonghao said. Liu Niu, who was very unconvinced at first, slammed the table with his fist and said, "What Liang Shenenvoy said is very reasonable! I'll see it! Taiwan, not bad. ”

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

The wisest Lin Zexu and Xie Lingqing also nodded slightly. Obviously, I agree with Liang Zhonghao's statement.

Lin Zexu stroked his beard and said, "As far as the lower officials know. More than two years ago, during the war between the Manchus and the British. Lord Ryujin led us to wait after the Anglican fleet was annihilated at Humen. There was also a British fleet that appeared several times in the area off the coast of Taiwan. It seems that an attempt was made to occupy the northern seaport and a port in the middle of the west coast, but it seems that they were all repelled by the Taiwanese military and civilians without success. ”

Zhao Wushuang nodded at Lin Zexu, and at the same time stared at Liang Zhonghao with scarlet eyes, very satisfied. Finally, a smile appeared in his heart: "My subordinates are really full of talents!" I didn't expect such a low-key envoy to have such insight on weekdays, which is indeed rare. ”

In fact, the next expansion direction of the Dragon God Sect, he had already thought about it in his heart. It's just to see the ability of subordinates, and I also want them to improve in discussions. This question was raised.

Zao Wou-shuang's plan. It also regards Taiwan as the main expansion target! In addition to the reasons that Liang Zhonghao said before, the insight and experience from more than 100 years later allowed him to see further.

Taiwan, in the world and era of Zao Wou-shuang's previous life, it was called "an unsinkable aircraft carrier in the Pacific Ocean" by the Yankees! It has an unparalleled global strategic position and role.

Liang Zhonghao only sees the current benefits of Taiwan, while Zao Woushuang's vision is to lay out the world from the beginning!

Taiwan is separated from the mainland by about 150 nautical miles, bordering the Pacific Ocean in the east, the Taiwan Strait in the west, and the Bass Strait in the south. The terrain is narrow and long, and the coastline is complex. Standard easy to defend and hard to attack.

It is located on the border between Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia and controls two extremely important strategic waterways, the Taiwan Strait and the Bass Strait.

In addition to being extremely important strategic areas in the Pacific security system, these two strategic waterways are also the sea areas through which the economic and trade activities of the Japanese countries must pass -- they control Taiwan. It can also form a deterrent to the Japanese state!

This is also the reason why the Celestial Dynasty and the dynasty of Zao Woushuang's previous life resolutely did not give up reunification -- in addition to the reason for the national sentiment and the inseparability of the country, it was also because of Taiwan's incomparably important global strategic position.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Zhao Wushuang slowly spoke: "The deity thinks what Liang Shenenvoy said is very reasonable. Taiwan. It's a good direction to expand. Moreover, there is no way to clear the demons, and the people in various places are in turmoil one after another. There is also a civil uprising in Taiwan that may break out in the near future. Popular hearts are available. Except for Taiwan, though. There is also a place where you can advance at the same time! This is Qiongzhou in the south of Guangdong. ”

Qiongzhou Mansion!

That is, Hainan Province in later generations.

At this time, the situation in Hainan was very similar to Taiwan, it was also isolated overseas, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty's control was very weak and they didn't care much about it. However, the local population and economy are not weak, and at the same time, they are of extremely important strategic importance -- it can even be said that controlling Hainan will clamp down on most of Southeast Asia and the South China Sea.

Taiwan and Hainan, these are two places that are extremely important in the future. But in this era, most countries, including the Manchus, do not have such awareness, and it may be a little bit of a meaning for the British.

This time, it is easier for everyone to understand than when Liang Zhonghao said Taiwan just now. And it was said by Lord Ryujin himself, so everyone was very concerned.

Therefore, after this meeting, the goals and direction of the Dragon God Sect in the next one to two years were determined.

"Okay, in that case, let's adjourn the meeting today. After the relevant person in charge went down, he came up with a specific charter as soon as possible on how to secretly seize and control Taiwan and Hainan. We're going to get started as soon as possible! Zhao Wushuang saw that what he had said was almost done, so he announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Seeing that everyone was about to leave the table one after another, the Dragon God Palace immediately. Xie Lingqing, who was very favored by Zhao Wushuang on weekdays, suddenly stood up, bowed his hand to him, and said respectfully: "Dragon God, there is something unknown about your humble position. ”

The surroundings fell silent for a moment, and the others looked at him with some surprise and confusion.

Zhao Wushuang's majestic scarlet snake eyes stared at him: "You say." ”

"We have almost completely controlled Guangdong, and the troops are strong, so why don't we just raise the banner. Anti-Qing! ”

In fact, everyone else has the same question in their minds. Oh, yes! Why don't you just oppose him, mother, and mother? Now, with the need to maintain a semblance of peace, some things will inevitably be hampered.

Zhao Wushuang glanced at everyone and slowly spoke: "I expected you to ask this question a long time ago, and sure enough, I asked it today." But it's very good, there is such a clear anti-Qing thought, which shows that the deity is indeed not looking at the wrong person. However, the time has not yet come. First of all, there is no greater benefit in opposing the Qing Dynasty at present, but it will attract the encirclement and suppression of the Qing court. The so-called gun shoots the first bird. It has been more than 200 years since the Manchus stole the Chinese Divine Throne, and except for the initial period, they have not experienced a large-scale uprising for a long time. This makes the Qing Demon complacent, and at the same time, it will become more intolerant. If we had been the first to explicitly oppose the Qing on such a large scale, or had already taken control of the extremely important Guangdong, the Manchus would have gone mad. It will definitely concentrate all the elite forces south of the Yangtze River for a frantic attack! At that time, we will face an endless war. With our current strength, it's hard to do any other expansion. It would even be unwise to use the power of those Western powers to attack from the sea. It's a pity that the divine power of the deity is not recovering, if it can be restored to half of the strength when it was in the heavenly court before going down to earth, it will not be enough to play these mortal tricks with those demons. Just by crushing the past with divine power, the deity can recover China......"

Originally, as the supreme dragon god, there was no need for him to give such detailed explanations and explanations to his subordinates and believers. But he did.

First, because he didn't want to be estranged from his subordinates when the future Huaxia Divine Kingdom was not even a prototype. Second, it is also because he is really moved and knows their firm determination to follow their "anti-Qing" efforts!

When he said this, everyone also showed a look of sudden realization.

Xie Lingqing pondered and said, "So what does the Dragon God mean...... Let's not be the first bird? Instead, we have to wait for the first bird to jump out openly, attracting the attention and military power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then the Dragon God Sect will be the one who hides in the rear! It's just that if there is no such bird all the time, wouldn't it be ......"

Zhao Wushuang replied in a very subtle and peculiar tone: "It won't take too long, soon." Soon this budding bird will jump out and break the arrangement of the Qing Demon in the south. At that time, it will be the time for my Dragon God Sect to really step out of the background and let out the roar of the dragon towards the world! (To be continued.) )
