Chapter 405: The Zheng Family's Changes

The history of the development of Dayuan Island can be traced back to the Soochow period of the Three Kingdoms at the earliest, and in the later dynasties, the immigration and development of Dayuan Island have been carried out, but it has not been valued by the Central Plains Dynasty across the sea.

However, with the development of history, in 1652, Guo Huaiyi led the largest armed uprising, although it was eventually suppressed,

Although this uprising was unsuccessful, it planted a seed for Oyuan Island, a seed of rebellion against the Dutch expulsion of them.

However, it is obvious that there are still nine years before the development of history at this time, and the residents of the island have also rebelled during this period, but the scale is not as large as the one led by Guo Huaiyi, so the spies sent by the Zheng family in the big staff also began to act.

Although it is not possible to take the island directly, it is still possible to make some advance preparations, especially to contact the villagers who have been oppressed.

Most of the villagers of Dayuan Island came from Fujian and Guangdong, so they had a deep blood relationship with the residents of these two places, and the people sent by the Zheng family knew the reason, and they quickly persuaded some people to join their cause of rebellion against the Dutch.

The goods transported by the ten ships of the Zheng family are nothing else, that is, weapons and food, and some medicines needed for combat, etc., if such a large number of things are all placed in the Zheng family's warehouse, they will definitely be found wrong, and once the incident occurs, it will be exposed, so this batch of things must be hidden in a safe place and used when the real incident occurs.

There is no safer place to hide than in the homes of the villagers or in some of the mountains where they will not be discovered.

If you want to cooperate with these villagers, you must first give them some benefits, and others will not do things in vain if there are no benefits, and now the Zheng family has not completely taken this place, the main reason is that there is not too much contact and understanding with the residents of the island, as long as there is this process, it will be easy to communicate.

In order to give some sweetness to the villagers who were exploited by the Dutch, the Zheng family brought some urgently needed supplies and distributed them free of charge. Of course, it was done in secret, otherwise with the urine of the Dutch, if they knew about it, I am afraid that they would not have been hot, and those supplies would have entered the pockets of the Dutch.

The Dutch have always adopted a policy of exploitation of the island's original names, imposing various taxes on them, and sometimes selling some people to Batavia, but now the situation has changed for the better, because of the presence of Australians, they dare not easily sell Chinese as piglets.

The Australians, however, sent a diplomatic monastery to them, demanding that they stop trafficking in Chinese. If it is not stopped, necessary action will be taken.

The Dutch are still very scared of the Australians' warnings, after all, the Australians have a history of shelling Batavia, which is not a joke.

Under this premise, the Dutch will naturally restrain themselves from trafficking in Chinese, but they will not be soft on the Chinese in their own rule. The hand is a little too long.

Of course, Australia will not care about these trivial things, and Australia also has intelligence staff on Dayuan Island.

It can be said that they are well aware of the Zheng family's every move, and the information they received was sent back to China, and Liu Yun didn't expect it when he saw it. That's how it would be.

The old Zheng family actually became interested in Dayuan Island in advance, I don't know if this is good or bad, but for the future Daming, it is definitely a good thing. If the Zheng family, a big warlord, migrated to Dayuan Island as a base for development, it would save a lot of trouble.

In the office of the Department of Homeland Security in Australia, Liu Yun handed over the latest information to Xiao Baitu. Be prepared to discuss with him how to make the next arrangements.

"The Zheng family is going to do it on Dayuan Island, and all these arrangements can be seen that they are making preliminary preparations, the materials and weapons have been transported, and there are also a lot of professional soldiers, if it is really difficult to say that it will not succeed."

After reading the intelligence, Xiao Baitu made his own analysis and insights.

"Yes, they did have their eyes on this place, and it is said that it was because the map we sold him made him realize the importance of this place, so he is ready to develop here." Liu Yun's words affirmed that the Zheng family did take action, and also gave an answer to why they were interested here.

"Next, Australia should also arrange for some people to enter the staff and pay close attention to the actions there." Hu Xijing proposed.

"Of course, we must closely understand the situation of Dayuan, if the Zheng family can take Dayuan Island, I am afraid that our Annan plan will have to change, and we must find the next agent to replace the Zheng family."

"I don't think I need it, the plan can still be implemented as before, the Zheng family must go to Annam, as for Dayuan Island, it will definitely be in the hands of Australia, the geographical location and development prospects here are much larger than Hong Kong, so we must take this place."

Hu Xijing squeezed her little pink fist and said fiercely, don't look at her as a woman, as one of the few women who participate in politics through the public, the various suggestions she submitted are very reasonable and constructive, and her political talent can be seen from this point.

According to the plan formulated by Australia, Dayuan Island will become Australia's overseas territory in the future, and it will also become the frontier of monitoring Daming in the future.

Although it is unlikely that Australia and the Ming will become enemies or hostile enemies in the next few decades, a few hundred years later, as the Ming economy and population reach a certain size, the possibility of conflict at that time is too great.

Australia wants to leave a trump card for the children and grandchildren of a hundred years, and this trump card is Dayuan Island.

Hu Xijing said this obviously to let the Zheng family help Australia take back here, and then reach an agreement in exchange, but from the current situation, the Zheng family should agree to such a result, after all, they still need to rely on Australia's support in many places.

Especially thinking that the current domestic situation is unstable, he attaches more importance to maritime trade, and if the Australians do not give face and suppress them, then it will be difficult for his 100,000 private soldiers to continue.

However, it seems that it is too early to discuss letting the Zheng family go to Annam, they have not taken Dayuan Island, as long as they take it, Australia can take advantage of the coercion and inducement to divide this place into their own hands.

So the most important thing to do at this time is to wait quietly for the Zheng family's actions, and also give them some support secretly, so that they know that the Australians are not opposed to their actions. (To be continued......)
