Wang Guorui saw that these Nanyang Chinese were very unconfident in fighting the Dutch, and then Wang Guorui took them to his cruiser detachment and let them see their five cruisers and some auxiliary ships. Then these Nanyang Chinese were shocked and speechless, which made them feel very shocked. Because they had never seen such a large ship with their own eyes, and this was a cruiser with a displacement of more than five thousand tons, and it was all made of steel, which was much better than those ships with iron ribs.

"Is this really our Chinese ship?" Liu Zhao asked.

Wang Guorui said with certainty: "Yes, this is our Taiwanese ship. With a displacement of 5,000 tons, the Dutch warships you usually see are probably all warships with iron ribs, right? I'll tell you the truth, the Dutch are actually a paper tiger, and the ships they can have at the moment are pretty good. Their iron-ribbed battleships are no match for our cruisers, and we can beat them half-crippled with a single shot. So you don't have to worry at all, we can use it to fight the Dutch. ”

And when Liu Zhao saw these battleships, he felt as if things were not so bad. Because they are afraid that after the Chinese mainland calls, they will be beaten back again, so that these Chinese who remain in Nanyang will be very miserable. Because if those local natives are jealous, then I'm afraid they are really going to die. And they are also worried about those foreigners, and those foreigners are probably very terrible, they know that the most terrible thing about foreigners is the strong ship and cannon, and now China also has strong ships and cannons, and it looks better than the strong ships and cannons of the foreigners, which gives them a lot of confidence.

"Governor Wang, are you really confident that you will be able to defeat these Dutchmen?" Zhu Tianya, the patriarch of the Zhu family, asked.

And Wang Guorui immediately said: "Of course, I will definitely be able to beat these Dutch into grandsons!" ”

Zhu Tianya thought about it. Then he immediately said: "Governor Wang, I hope to be able to send some members of our family surnamed Zhu to join your army, and then form a small army, about a platoon of more than 30 people, so that our Zhu family can be regarded as a contribution!" ”

When Wang Guorui heard this, he immediately felt a little happy. Because of this, Zhu Tianya's Zhu family also expressed their cooperation. Of course, Wang Guorui knew that if he wanted to conquer the South Seas, he had to cooperate with the local head snake. The Western colonizers chose to cooperate with the local indigenous people, and then work together to exploit the Chinese. Naturally, Wang Guorui could not cooperate with the natives like the Western colonizers, and he had another group of people, namely the local Chinese. If you can pull the local Chinese into your camp, you can not only rely on their familiarity with the terrain, but also have lived here for many years and have a lot of wealth. And as long as they are willing to cooperate, not to mention that they can be completely close to each other, but at least they can make some exchanges fairly.

And these local Chinese have a lot of supplies. If Wang Guorui can buy some with wealth, it is completely earned. Even if the price is slightly higher, it's worth it. Because Wang Guorui's logistical sea supply route is too long, he not only has to transport personnel, weapons and ammunition in the rear, but also uses it to transport food supplies, and the food is not in a hurry and also occupies a lot of transportation capacity. If you can buy a lot of food locally, you can save a lot of food supply capacity from the rear, which can bring more ammunition from the rear. Even if more ammunition is provided, An can be used to transport more troops.

These are also logistical aspects. If you can cooperate with the locals, it will be of great help to the stability of the society in the future. Since ancient times, foreign officials have to cooperate with local landlords, and this is already a normal phenomenon. And Taiwanese Chinese and these immigrants have the same language and species, that is, there is a cooperative store foundation. Anyway, everyone is of the same ethnic group, and there is no problem in exploiting the natives together.

And now this Zhu family is willing to send more than 30 family members with the surname Zhu to be trained as a platoon, which is already very remarkable. Because it's like this kind of Chinese who go out to Nanyang. Their family system has been completely dismantled, so the population of each family is not very rich. Don't look at the Chinese population of about 1,000 people in the Zhu family, but there are not many people with the surname Zhu among these people, and there are less than 200 men in the Zhu family, and even many of them are just surnamed Zhu. There are only more than 100 real blood relatives. The other more than 800 people are also people with foreign surnames. And the Zhu family was able to send about thirty people with the surname Zhu out, which was almost half of the young men. With these thirty or so young men, it is said that it is a troop, and the political significance is far greater than the military significance.

With these thirty or so men, it is actually a kind of hostage, which is equivalent to the Zhu family completely taking refuge in Wang Guorui. As for the combat effectiveness of this small unit, this Wang Guorui doesn't like it too much, Wang Guorui is interested in the political significance here. The Zhu family will take refuge in Taiwan in the future, which is equivalent to becoming a family with themselves, and the Taiwan side is equivalent to having a local snake family in Nanyang, which naturally means that they can have a good start.

"Well, it is very good that the Zhu family can work so sincerely to seek justice for us Chinese. Therefore, I intend to temporarily appoint Zhu Tianya, the patriarch of the Zhu family, as the prefect of Liaoneifu, to manage the overall affairs of the entire Liaonei Mansion on behalf of our Taiwan side. For the time being, the officials of the Liao Prefecture will be appointed by the Zhu family themselves, and in the future, we in Taiwan will adjust and transfer them as appropriate according to the situation. Wang Guorui said.

Since people have taken refuge, Wang Guorui can't help but repay the favor and then appoint them to important positions. And this Liao Nei Mansion is actually a mansion set up by Wang Guorui himself, and its status is similar to that of a foreign city. However, now Taiwan still uses the past to become, called the prefect and the county and so on. Wang Guorui does not think that this kind of prefect will affect the process of modernization, because the same is not the case in Japan, and even in the 21st century, they call the mayor governor, which is nothing. And since this traditional title is still relatively acceptable in China, Wang Guorui has not changed.

And this Liaonei Mansion is actually the Liaonai Islands, and Taiwan will set up a management body here, and the current prefect of the first Liaonei Mansion is also served by this Zhu Tianya. Of course, this kind of situation where a local person is the top leader of the local must be eliminated, after all, nepotism must be eliminated. Although ancient China was feudal, it was also aware of the need to put an end to nepotism, for example, the local people could not be local officials, and it was also a common practice in ancient times, which was an important way to maintain national unity. At present, although a local person is appointed to serve locally, he must be transferred in the future.

"Thank you, Lord Wang, I will definitely serve Lord Wang!" Zhu Tianya said excitedly.

Zhu Tianya didn't expect that Wang Guorui would be so generous and directly hand over the Liaonei Islands to him. And Zhu Tianya knew that this was an opportunity to develop his family, and as long as he could obtain the right to be the first prefect of Liao Nei in the future, then I am afraid that they would be able to take advantage of this time to become a big family in Nanyang. As long as Wang Guorui defeats the Dutch, it can be said that it will not be a problem for An to become the number one family in the Nanyang area. And this development opportunity is very difficult to obtain. However, this qiē is also necessary for Wang Guorui to defeat the Dutch in Nanyang, otherwise it may be difficult for them to develop.

And when the other four families heard Zhu Tianya say this, they couldn't help but regret it in their hearts, they were one step slower to show their loyalty, and let the Zhu family take the lead. If you can seize this opportunity, you may really become an important family in the Nanyang area.

"Lord Wang, we are also willing to cooperate with Taiwan, and we are willing to send family members to form an army for your use, Lord Wang!" Liu Zhao and the others also hurriedly shouted.

Apparently, they began to have confidence in Wang Guorui, believing that Wang Guorui could defeat the Dutch. As long as Wang Guorui can defeat the Dutch, then they can take the opportunity to get on Wang Guorui's big ship, so that they can also get the opportunity for the family to develop, and then become an important family in the South Seas. If they don't take the opportunity to take refuge, then there will be more people willing to take refuge in the future, and if they can become the first batch, it must be very important. If there are more people who take refuge at that time, and they fail to seize the opportunity, then Wang Guorui will not look down on them. The icing on the cake is not as good as charcoal in the snow, and they all understand this truth. Now Wang Guorui needs the cooperation of local head snakes, so if he doesn't hurry up and be the first batch of people to take refuge, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to seize the opportunity to develop the family.

"Okay, you send the family members together right away to work for me. As long as we can defeat those Dutch, and then export evil anger for us Chinese, then we will definitely contribute well to the country and the nation. Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui immediately urged them to send the people of the family, anyway, it would not take long to form a force, anyway, the symbolic meaning of these people is far greater than the actual meaning, these people are half a hostage. In this way, they are the people they use as the Taiwan side, and they are not afraid of their betrayal. If they dare to betray, then the people they sent here will also be unlucky. You must know that these are all young members of their family, and they can be regarded as their important successors. If something happens to these young family members, then their family is really going to collapse, so they will hardly betray it. (To be continued......)
