In Manila's eyes, once he arrives at a certain place, as long as he swings the cannon and puts it in the city, those local natives will soon organize a powerful attack, and they will be sent to his cannon fodder as soon as possible. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Those people are quite stupid!

However, this soldier of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have a much better brain, not only ignored his set, but also put himself in a desperate situation by Nima's army.

Surround but not fight, what kind of tactic is this Nima?

It's the first time I've seen it in Manila, but it's scary to think about.

In this situation of no advantage, he had to re-examine the troops stationed five miles outside the city on the opposite side, and had to make a more sensible decision for his future and life: surrender.

However, his surrender was not reconciled, and he always believed that he could easily conquer a country with only a small number of soldiers, because he had the most advanced thermal weapons in the world.

Therefore, in this situation of internal and external compulsion and unwillingness, Manila's surrender is a mixed bag.

It can also be said that Manila was actually desperate and thought of a workaround, that is, in the name of surrender, to negotiate with the people of the Ming Empire opposite, and then look for an opportunity to turn defeat into victory and wash away the shame of the battle that had not yet happened.

Manila raised a white flag at the head of the city and sent a Dutchman who spoke Chinese fairly well to Zheng Chenggong's camp to lobby and advocate that they would surrender and negotiate the terms of surrender with Zheng Chenggong.

Of course, seeing that the lord of the Ming Empire was just a hairy young man in his teens, the envoy had a contempt in his heart.

"Surrender is surrender, there is nothing to negotiate, go back and tell your generals, if you want to surrender, you have to listen to us, if you want to talk about conditions, then you can stay in the city, I see that you can go hungry for a few days."

Zheng Chenggong did not hesitate to reject this pointless negotiation, and the big stick drove the envoy out of the barracks. Then continue to besiege and wait, not in a hurry at all.

Manila listened to the messenger's report, his head was big, and he endured it for another day. Finally couldn't help it, and sent a formal request to Zheng Chenggong: I want to surrender, this time I won't negotiate, just surrender directly.

Zheng Chenggong said to the envoy: "Well, since you are going to surrender. You have to disarm first! Gather all your ordnance together, and I will send men into the city to pull them out. ”

The envoy's face was like a dead father, how ugly it was, because before they came, their plan was to persuade Zheng Chenggong to enter the city, and then fight to the death, but now he didn't expect this thing to be so cunning, he didn't even take the bait.

Zheng Chenggong saw the face of the envoy, as if he had guessed something, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, General Ben feels that it is too troublesome to pull the weapon over." Let's surrender in another way. ”

When the Dutch envoy heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: there is a chance!

"Let you, the Governor of Manila, lead all the soldiers out of the city in procession, and remember, you are not allowed to bring any weapons, otherwise it will be insincere. When you come out, I'll consider selling you some food first. ”

The envoy was still looking forward to it just now, but when he heard Zheng Chenggong's words, he couldn't help but feel bitter again, and wanted to plead to relax. Zheng Chenggong didn't give him a chance.

"That's it, go back, my patience is limited, if the governor of Manila doesn't come out with soldiers in two hours. Then I will close the door to surrender forever. ”

The Dutch envoy went back and told Zheng Chenggong what he had said.

After thinking about it for half an hour, Manila decided that he couldn't think of a better way, so he led all the soldiers out of the city and surrendered!

Even if he wanted to die for his country, it was unlikely, because many of his men were already clamoring for surrender. This kind of discipline was also impossible in the most rotten army of the Ming Empire, and yet, the Dutch actually did it.

This can be regarded as a habit of life or a national habit.

So, in this way, the city of Geranza was taken by Zheng Chenggong, which was even easier than dealing with those Spanish devils. If there is any highlight of this war, it is that it did not cost a single shot, not a single person died, the whole army ate and slept outside the city of Geranza, and everything was done.

After being occupied by the Dutch for more than 20 years, the whole of Taiwan finally returned to the embrace of the motherland again.

Zhu Changyuan received a call from Zheng Chenggong, and after learning about what happened over there, he didn't expect that Taiwan would be pacified so easily, and he was quite surprised and said happily: "You did a good job, and you lived up to my training and teachings on you." ”

"Escort the 2,500 captives back to Beijing, in addition, from today onwards, you will be the Admiral of the Navy, and the 10,000 Sailors and the Ten Ships will all be controlled by you, and then you will sail to the South China Sea, back and forth between the Mughal and my Ming Dynasty, first familiarize yourself with the waterway, in case one day I want to move the country westward, you will be the first hero!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zheng Chenggong hung up the phone respectfully, knelt on the ground reverently and kowtowed a few times in the direction of Jingshi, his eyes looked at the vast sea, which was full of hope and ambition, and there was an ambition to conquer the sea.

Taiwan is basically a peaceful reconquest, but what follows is more troublesome than the reconquest itself. That is the governance of Taiwan.

Due to the isolation overseas, Taiwan was only included in the Ming Dynasty and ignored, almost in a free-range state. Taiwan was also a place of reception for many pirates and refugees from Fujian, as well as an immigration site for the Ming Empire.

Zhu Changyuan is now thinking about how to govern Taiwan.

After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to do it in one step, send people to include Taiwan in China's territory, and then set up a province and put Taiwan as governor. As for the above management methods, some adaptations have been made, and they are not managed according to the inherent methods of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Changyuan's idea is to directly implement the land reform policy in Taiwan, measure all the land in Taiwan, and distribute it evenly according to the population.

Then, nominally, the land was owned by the state and leased to the peasants for cultivation, but of course, once the ownership of the land fell into the hands of the state, the individual lost the privilege of buying and selling the land.

In this way, the phenomenon of land annexation will cease to exist.

The idea is good, but Zhu Changyuan also knows that if he wants to turn his idea into reality, he must first face countless inherent landlord forces in Taiwan, and ordinary people may not be able to support it.

originally wanted to let his cheap brother-in-law Wu Weiye be the governor of Taiwan, but after thinking about it, he felt that Wu Weiye was just a literati, and he was too young to take on such a heavy responsibility.

In the end, his eyes were on one person: Hong Chengchou.

This guy has not only served as a governor before, but also led soldiers, and is a veritable talent. The most important thing is that this Hong Chengchou does not have the sour rot of a scholar, he does things vigorously and resolutely, and his wrists are ruthless enough!

In other words, Hong Chengchou is actually a ruthless person, although he planted a heel in Liaodong back then, but it was caused by multiple reasons.

And ruthless people are suitable for this kind of work that offends people.

Zhu Changyuan personally called his old subordinate to the palace to make a test and talk before the appointment.

Hong Chengchou is a more depressed person, who led troops to patrol Shaanxi, and later supervised Jiliao, and then was defeated and captured by the Manchus, and then surrendered to Zhu Changyuan.

Zhu Changyuan was quite generous to him, not only did he not blame him but also entrusted him with important tasks, but recently he had a deep sense of crisis. The people around me are promoted one by one.

Yan Hong and Zhu Changning are Zhu Changyuan's old subordinates, and there is nothing to say about mixing Shangshu after he ascended the throne, but Liu Weimin is usually inconspicuous, he is just a modest medical director on Sun Moon Island, and he suddenly became a waiter in the medical department, and Li Baohe was originally just the dean of Baohetang, but now he is outrageously promoted to Shangshu.

and Luo Rucai, the reckless second goods, actually mixed up with a king number! Well, although his king title has not yet been realized, it is still in sight.

But he, who used to have an army of 400,000 in his hands, and was the hero who led 50,000 foot soldiers to surrender to Zhu Changyuan, still hasn't reaped half of the benefits.

Can Hong Chengchou be depressed?

But depressed is depressed, and when he met such a master who has not been born for a thousand years, he didn't even have the courage to say that he was depressed.

Today, Hong Chengchou's heart fluctuated a little, because the emperor summoned him, and, with his intelligence and connections, he soon learned that he was about to serve as the governor of Taiwan.

Although the official is on par with him during his Chongzhen years, this is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as he does a good job, he believes that there is no problem with promotion.

However, when he met Zhu Changyuan, he was frightened by the large set of governance theories thrown out by Zhu Changyuan. Yes, it's really scared, because if you're as smart as he is, you must know the political consequences of playing like this.

There will definitely be a steady stream of impeachments for what he has done, and there will definitely be a collision of water and fire with those powerful forces in the local area.

If you don't do it, you won't have any bones, and if you do it well, both will be burned.

Hong Chengchou looked at the document handed to him by Zhu Changyuan, carefully pondered the entries, contents and handling measures on it, and unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat.

"How? Does Lord Hong understand? Zhu Changyuan's entire plan is written in a modern form, and he does not guarantee that Hong Chengchou can understand every article.

"Got it!" Hong Chengchou put the document back on the table, frowned slightly, knelt down a little unwillingly, and said, "Acting like this, I am afraid it will be difficult for the minister to complete the important task!" ”

Just kidding, in Hong Chengchou's eyes, if Zhu Changyuan continues to fight with this rod, there will be no rich people or landlords in the whole of Taiwan, and everyone will return to the original starting line.

Just think about how big this resistance is. (To be continued.) )
