Chapter 20 Governance of Taiwan (continued)
Chen Yonghua immediately sent people to tell the Gaoshan clan in Tainan and Taichung, and three days later, Chen Bianbian and Cai Yinwen were tried in the main street of Taichung. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At noon, under the gaze of many patriarchs of the Gaoshan clan, Chen Yonghua opened the verdict and read it aloud:
"Between heaven and earth, loyalty is the foundation. Taiwan is China's territory, and we should abide by China's laws. Today, I teach the way of farming and protect the guards from the suffering of swords. However, today there are Chen Bianbian and Cai Yinwen, for personal gain, they are not grateful, and they shamelessly betray the alliance! Commit my Ming criminal law. Notice! My Huaxia law is strict. Those who commit crimes, regardless of whether they are high or low, will be treated equally. Traitor, kill yourself! Confiscation of family property. Execution is ordered! ”
Anyway. Chen Yonghua dropped the order.
After the executioner received the order, he drank a bowl of spirits, and did not give Chen Bianbian and Cai Yinwen a chance to distinguish and speak, and the steel knife swung down vigorously, and the two of them had two big heads. Roll down the dust. Blood spurted all over the ground.
All the onlookers of the Gaoshan tribe were shocked.
Compared to Chen Yonghua's smoothness and happiness.
The patriarchs of the Gaoshan tribe were very unhappy.
The patriarchs of the Gaoshan clan had already collected the literature of King Chen Bianbian and Cai Yin for them, and Chen Yonghua was enough to make amends.
Chen Yonghua's fleet of the Heavenly Dynasty should have taken enough benefits and left.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yonghua actually started the long-term stationing initiative.
The 5,000 soldiers and horses did not leave at all, they stopped in Taichung directly, sent people to disperse Tuntian, not to mention, and even built a simple fortress with cement on a dangerous hill outside the tribe.
The fortress is four meters high and five meters thick, and the head of the city can be placed with ten artillery pieces of General Shenwei and eight tiger squat cannons.
There were three granaries in the fortress, two powder magazines, five wells dug in the fortress, and 3,000 soldiers and horses could not be a problem in guarding them for a month.
Not far from the fortress there is also a market with a variety of goods at low prices.
Considering that most of the Gaoshan tribes did not yet have a common currency, the market here could be bartered.
Seeing the people of the Gaoshan tribe coming to trade, the merchants here basically sold it for pure gold, and then grabbed an extra handful of salt as a gift and gave it away.
Seeing that the market here is so kind, the Gaoshan tribe spread the word of mouth, and soon the market in Taichung became a well-known downtown area, and the Gaoshan people in ten miles and eight towns were willing to climb the mountains and wade to trade here.
The Zheng family army took root here, and the leaders of the Gaoshan tribe were all restless, constantly protesting to Chen Yonghua and causing trouble.
Chen Yonghua, who was busy with work, had the spare time to take care of them, and immediately handed over all the patriarchs of these Gaoshan tribes to Liu Guoxuan to deal with.
Liu Guoxuan didn't have the patience to deal with these people, regardless of whether they were patriarchs or not, let alone whether they were famous or not.
Liu Guoxuan selected the available people according to his original criteria for selecting slaves.
The only criterion is to be honest and obedient, and the heavier the servility, the better.
In addition to the simple standards, Liu Guoxuan's means of implementation are also quite simple.
Those who met the criteria were to stay, and they were given certain freedoms and rights to help rule and govern the other islanders. And those who do not meet the standards will be killed.
Chen Yonghua and Liu Guoxuan killed decisively, which frightened the people of the Gaoshan tribe, and they felt that Zheng Chenggong might have come to Taiwan to raid and plunder as rumored.
More than a dozen tribes of the Gaoshan tribe hurriedly sent representatives to Tainan to ask to see Zheng Chenggong.
In the Governor's Palace, the envoys of the Gaoshan tribe each carried a plate containing gold, silver, weeds, and dirt, which they presented to Zheng Chenggong.
Zheng Chenggong looked at the items on the four plates in front of him, and after thinking for a while, he smiled and said to his fellow Gaoshan tribe that he came to Taiwan to expel the Dutch invaders and recover the country, not to ask for gold and silver.
After speaking, Zheng Chenggong accepted the weeds and dirt, and returned the plates containing gold and silver to the Gaoshan clan.
The news quickly spread throughout the island, reassuring the Gaoshan compatriots.
In order to dispel the vigilance of the Gaoshan tribe, Chen Yonghua treated the patriarch and tribal leader decisively and fiercely, and treated the people with a gentle attitude.
According to the land management regulations promulgated by Chen Yonghua, the land of the tribal leaders in Taichung was redistributed to the heads of each tribe.
The people of the Gaoshan tribe in Taichung can get an average of 30 acres of wasteland per person.
Moreover, the Zheng family promised to be exempt from taxation for three years, and the master sent by the Zheng family guided the land reclamation.
The immediate practical benefits made every Yiluo tribesman immediately abandon the leader of the tribe, and all of them united wholeheartedly around Zheng Jiajun to support Chen Yonghua's reform actions.
Chen Yonghua seized the opportunity to abolish the tribal-based grassroots administrative units and introduce a system of armor protection to maintain local order.
Ten households for a card, ten cards for a card, ten for a guarantee.
Regardless of their migration, occupation, marriage, birth, or death, the Gaoshan people must report to the local officials through the Baojia.
This system has made clear the basic situation of the people of the Gaoshan ethnic group in Taichung in a short period of time.
At the same time, in order to make the Gaoshan people identify with Huaxia well, Chen Yonghua asked the communities in the areas where the Gaoshan compatriots live to set up "primary schools" to facilitate the children of the Gaoshan people to enroll in school and receive education.
In order to alleviate the burden on the Gaoshan compatriots and encourage them to send their children to school, it is specially stipulated that all the children of the Gaoshan nationality "who study in the village school shall be subject to forced labor."
Chen Yonghua also combined education with the selection of talents, and implemented the college system.
It is stipulated that Gaoshan children must "enter primary school at the age of eight and learn scriptures and historical texts".
There are two examinations in six years, and the entrance examination is opened according to the subject and the year. Those with excellent grades in primary school can be submitted to the college, and those with excellent results in the college examination will be selected into Nanjing University of Political Science and Law.
After graduation, he will make up for the six internal affairs of the six officials, and be promoted.
With various measures, the people of the Gaoshan nationality have worked hard to promote the spread of traditional Chinese culture in Taiwan. (To be continued.) )
