"Da Mu, they have been out for three months, every time they go to sea, I am worried in my heart, Xinghua, do you want to find a way to get the telegram to the warship, so that we can also know their news at any time." Shi Kefa said to Luo Jian.

"Cihuan and they are strengthening their research in this area, the key is the power problem, we can set up more points to relay on land, and it will be difficult at sea." Luo Jian explained.

Of course, the electronic components that can be manufactured now are still very rough, but with the continuous improvement of the manufacturing process, Luo Jian feels that it is not far off to solve the problem of maritime communication.

"Okay, Xinghua, I'll talk to Changshou first, Feihuang also has to make some preparations, and tomorrow you will take the time to summon the Dutch envoy and explain our intentions to them clearly." After Shi Kefa finished speaking, he went out to find Zhu Yujian.

"Dare to ask Madame, why does Madame have to take back Taiwan from Damu?" Zheng Zhilong saw that Shi Kefa and Chen Zilong had left, so he bowed to Liu Lan and asked.

"Hehe, he's the commander of the navy, who will do this if he doesn't do this? Brother Feihuang, recovering the territory is a good thing to leave a name in history, don't think too much about it. Luo Jian said with a smile.

"The Metropolitan Governor and his wife have always cared for Damu, Zhilong is inscribed, and I wanted to give the Metropolitan Governor and his wife a good New Year's greeting, but you don't accept gifts, I don't know how to express my heart." Zheng Zhilong said very sincerely.

"Brother Feihuang, don't be polite, everyone is a family, but you seem to be angry when you say this." Luo Jian said with a smile.

"It's Zhilong's hypocrisy, I'll go back and prepare for tomorrow's negotiations with the Dutch." Zheng Zhilong was very moved when he heard Luo Jian say that everyone was a family. got up and clenched his fists and took his leave.

"Liu Lan. Zheng Chenggong has brought the sulphur ball and Hawaii Island so far. He even helped them lay a world in North America, and his achievements have long surpassed our history, right? It's just that everyone hasn't realized the role of these places yet, and his fame may be greater than that of us in the future. When Zheng Zhilong left, Luo Jian said to Liu Lan with a smile.

"Xinghua, what you said is the same, but we are used to hearing that Zheng Chenggong has recovered Taiwan, and this is going to be Wang Qiang to recover Taiwan, we don't feel used to it after listening to it, right?" Liu Lan said to Wang Qiang with a smile.

"Chief, Sister Liulan, I don't care about this. As long as our country is no longer bullied in the future. "Wang Qiang is also simply.

"Hehe, your kid is very famous now, now that you Wang Qiang and the Seventh Division are mentioned in Nanjing City, who doesn't give a thumbs up?" Liu Lan said with a smile.

Zhu Yujian and Zheng Zhilong summoned the Dutch envoy to talk about the matter of recovering Taiwan, and it did not go smoothly as Zheng Zhilong thought.

Zhu Yujian first quoted scriptures and classics to give a detailed explanation of Taiwan's territory since ancient times, and then demanded the return of Taiwan to the Dutch.

Although Zhu Yujian quoted a lot of scriptures, he still found some flaws in it, that is, the previous Chinese dynasties did not implement real rule and management over Taiwan.

The meaning of the description is obvious. Since none of the previous Chinese dynasties exercised real rule over Taiwan, the Dutch arrived at this place. The island of Taiwan has been developed, so China should not have territorial claims to Taiwan now.

Zheng Zhilong, who had been listening to the side, quit, after Luo Jian asked him to start collecting intelligence on Taiwan, Zheng Zhilong was very concerned, he used to be very proficient in Japanese and Portuguese, and he had learned almost Dutch in the past two years, and immediately said in Dutch:

"Your Excellency, your words are very unreasonable, as early as the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse, I, Zheng Zhilong, had already landed on the island of Taiwan, and later because of my lack of strength, I was squeezed to the mainland by you, this island of Taiwan is obviously the territory of my China, you just relied on force to take it, and now it is returned to our China, is there any objection to this?"

After Zheng Zhilong finished speaking, he whispered his meaning to Zhu Yujian.

I didn't expect that the person in front of me was Zheng Yiguan, a well-known pirate who had been rampaging in the Taiwan Strait for decades, and I didn't expect that he had become a high-ranking official of the Chinese government, nor did I expect him to know so clearly that he was the commander of Taiwan's Chichicheng City.

Indeed, as Zheng Zhilong said, for the Dutch East India Company, Taiwan is indeed a big piece of fat, and it is a big fat meat that they have already eaten to their mouths.

Of course, it is difficult to describe that the current China is completely different from the Ming Dynasty in previous years, not to mention the others, even their sea "giants" are also the warships of the Dutch East India Company that cannot be resisted.

What's more, it has been seven or eight days since he arrived in Nanjing, and everything he has seen in Nanjing has subverted his perception of China, but even so, he is not ready to compromise, and he knows that the current commander of Taiwan, Kuo, will not compromise.

However, it is difficult to describe that it is not enough to hold Taiwan with its current strength, and it is necessary to strengthen Taiwan's defense, which will take time, so today he feels that it is necessary to stabilize these officials of the Nanjing government.

"So that the two ministers know that they have come to Nanjing to pay tribute this time, is it not appropriate for the two of you to talk to me about this today? Besides, I am not on a duty to negotiate, and I am not in a position to answer your requests now, so can I wait until I get back to inform our Commander and Governor, but it will take time. ”

After the description was finished, the interpreter spoke for a long time, and Zhu Yujian understood what he meant.

"We don't expect you to give us an answer today, we just hope that you will inform your superiors of our intentions when you go back, and then give us an answer, if you agree to return Taiwan's sovereignty to China and withdraw all troops from Taiwan, the Nanjing government can set up a trade point for you in Taiwan, if you don't agree, then we can only meet each other!"

After Zhu Yujian finished speaking, he turned his attention to the translator, who quickly translated Zhu Yujian's words.

"Before I came, the Metropolitan Governor of the Nanjing Government asked me to convey a sentence to your Commander and Your Excellency the Governor-General, that is, if they still regard the current Nanjing Government as the former Ming Dynasty, then they are very wrong, and I ask them to know the confidence and determination of the Chinese Government to safeguard the territorial and sovereign integrity."

After Zhu Yujian finished speaking, Zheng Zhilong added.

"There is another sentence, this is my own meaning, you go back and tell your commanders and governors, don't toast, don't eat and drink!"

He left Nanjing the day after Zhu Yujian and Zheng Zhilong summoned him, and he was in a hurry to go back and report all this to Yuyi.

For a period of time after that, Zheng Zhilong set his sights on Taiwan, and what surprised him was that the Dutch really wanted to toast and not eat and drink, because the Dutch not only did not have the slightest intention of returning Taiwan, but also began to expel immigrants from the mainland to Taiwan from the island of Taiwan.

The New Year of 1651 AD passed in a lively and lively manner, Luo Jian and Shi Kefa and others did not have a sense of New Year's excitement, since finding the Dutch envoy, Luo Jian has been planning to recover Taiwan.

When the fleet led by Zheng Chenggong and Lu Wei to Europe will return, Luo Jian has no idea in his heart, it seems that they may not be able to catch up with this battle to recover Taiwan.

The reason for this anxiety is that, judging from the situation reported by Zheng Zhilong, the Dutch troops stationed on the island of Taiwan have not shown the slightest sign of abandoning the island, and in addition to constantly expelling mainland residents on the island, they have also continued to increase their troops on the island in the recent period.

Seeing that the strength of the Dutch defenders on the island of Taiwan was increasing, and it seemed that the strength was now a little weak when it was planned to use only two regiments of the Seventh Division to recover Taiwan, Luo Jian simply asked the entire Seventh Division to be pulled to the beach for adaptive training.

It's just that the sea forces are still weak, and the only warships that really have combat effectiveness are the "Qi Jiguang" and the "Huo Quzhi", and according to the known situation, the Dutch have concentrated more than 50 large warships in Taiwan, and there are even more small warships of all kinds, which may be all the sea forces that the Dutch East India Company can mobilize during this time.

Luo Jian thought that in another time and space history, Zheng Chenggong did not make such a big move when he recovered Taiwan, and the Dutch East India Company did not regard Taiwan's status as so important, they had long known the news that Zheng Chenggong wanted to attack Taiwan, and they did not add a single soldier to Taiwan, why would they do this in this time and space?

"Xinghua, isn't this simple? In the past, Taiwan was only one of their many trade points, and even if Taiwan squeezed the people to gain some benefits, Taiwan's extremely underdeveloped agriculture and Taiwan's far from being truly developed at that time made them have few interests in this area, so Taiwan's position was not so important. ”

In Luo Jian's study, Liu Lan pointed to the map and said, of course Luo Jian understands these truths, but history has been changed like this, and it is really a bit confusing.

"Our situation here has changed greatly from that time, with the establishment of the Nanjing government, our industry and commerce have developed rapidly, and the trade with Southeast Asian countries has become more and more close, the Dutch have gained a lot of benefits in it, Taiwan's status is no longer the same as ours at that time, and it is natural for them to make a big determination to keep this place." Luo Jian followed Liu Lan's words and continued.

"Cut, I thought you didn't understand? I know it very well, but I have to pretend to be confused. Liu Lan glanced at Luo Jian.

"It's not that I don't understand, it's just that history has changed so much, I'm a little confused." Luo Jian said with a smile.

"I'll have to go find the Overseer, I always feel that our sea power is a little weak against the Dutch, let's see what we can do." Luo Jian said.

"Let's go, let's go together, and I'll take Ting'er over to see the old lady." Liu Lan said.

The two went to Shi Kefa's mansion together, Liu Lan took Luo Ting directly to the backyard to find the old lady, Luo Jian and Shi Kefa went to the study and sat down.

"Xinghua, have you noticed, the Dutch are going to fight us! I knew that I wouldn't give them a pass in this way, so we would have just sent troops to take Taiwan. Shi Kefa pointed to the report on the table.

The report was sent by Zheng Zhilong, and Luo Jian had already read and signed it, knowing what Shi Kefa meant. (To be continued.) )
