The sun is setting, and the birds and animals on Huayu Island have returned to their nests after a day of activities.

However, on the sea not far from them, there was the roar of cannons and the smoke of gunpowder.

The First Squadron of the Pacific Fleet has been wrestling with the Dutch East India Fleet for a year, and the two sides have exchanged hot shells as a greeting gift, which is really affectionate.

The two sides opened fire on each other on the sea at a distance of about 700 meters, and shells flew and the sea water boiled. Every time the battleship finished firing, it would be shrouded in thick gunsmoke, as if it was moving in the clouds, and it would flicker like a group of ghosts.

At 6:15 a.m., the first detachment of the Dutch East India Fleet again turned to the right and approached. At the same time, the second detachment also appeared on the left side of the first team, and it was about to form a flanking situation.

On the cruiser Pallas, Shen Yangwei looked at the sky, the summer night in the South Seas came relatively late, and the light of the sunset was still strong at this time.

"It looks like it's going to be an hour or two after dark!"

An hour or two is not long, but it is not short, and it is enough for both sides to have a fierce fight. However, the First Squadron did not dare to engage in a fierce battle with the Dutch, and once the formation broke up, the numerical superiority of the Dutch fleet would be fatal.

As he spoke, the first detachment of the Dutch fleet opened fire again. The shells whizzed, leaving marks on the port hull of the Pallas. Due to the distance, most shells could not penetrate the oak hull. However, every time it was shot, the hull of the ship would tremble.

"My ship!"

John was so bold that he dared to poke his head out to check on the damage to the Pallas, despite enemy fire. "It can't go on like this!"

Shi Jianfei shook his head and said, "Instead of sitting and waiting." Why don't we take the initiative! ”

Shen Yangwei nodded and said, "We will face the enemy in a linear battle column. At the moment, the Dutch fleet on the left is on par with us, and it is difficult to seize the "" position. But the Dutch fleet on the right immediately caught up, and we suddenly turned to the right. You might be able to take advantage of it! ”

Shi Jianfei looked to starboard, the head ship of the second detachment of the Dutch fleet was already level with the seventh cruiser of the first team, if they caught up with the Pallas, then the first team would be attacked from the left and right, and the consequences would be worrying.

"Herald! The whole fleet turns right, and the starboard artillery fire engages the enemy! ”

The order was given, the helmsman hurriedly filled the right rudder, and the bow sailor of the Pallas quickly moved the mast to the port side. The sea breeze blows the stilt mast. The Pallas made a quick right turn. Inside the gun deck, the gunners locked the port guns. The cat quickly ran to starboard and grabbed the handrail.

"Hold on!"

As the bow of the ship splits the waves, the waves splash up. The massive hull of the Pallas creaked as if it were about to fall apart.

Although it was not the first time that Shi Jianfei had made such a sharp turn, he was always stunned every time he heard this kind of sound, for fear that the battleship would fall apart.

The first squadron suddenly turned to the right, surprising the first detachment of the Dutch fleet on the left.

Rejoz wondered why they were turning. Don't you know that at such a time, the turn of the battleship will shorten the distance between the two armies?

Adjutant Thill smiled, "I think they can't help but fight us!" This is long overdue, and it saves us from pursuing hard! ”

"That's fine!" Rayoz nodded and said, "We're just blocking their way and surround them!" ”

Then, the first detachment of the Dutch fleet also turned to the right, but at a much smaller angle, in order to maneuver in front of the Pacific Fleet. Intercept the path of Team One.

Since the Dutch Navy did not have the idea and preparation for an artillery battle on the battle line, the purpose of their encirclement of the first team was also to engage in a gang fight.

However, Retiz saw that the opposing fleet always acted in unison, and no matter which way it turned, the eleven ships always maintained a straight line. Even if the rearmost battleship was attacked from the left and right, it would not change its direction, which has always puzzled Rear Admiral Retiz. However, in the naval battle, he couldn't think about it so much.

With the first squadron rapidly turning to the right, the second detachment of the Dutch fleet was worried that it would not be able to catch up. The first detachment robbed the battle of the victory. At this time, when he saw the other party turning to the right and turned to them, he thought that the other party was going to fight with them, and he was immediately very happy, and he was ready to jump into the gang and fight.

At 6:45, with the five battleships in front of the first warring team, the first warship took the lead in completing the right turn. The second detachment of the Dutch formation as a whole formed a zigzag, and the enemy's head ship formed a favorable prefix horizontal.

"Concentrate your fire on their head ship!"

"Prepare for school shooting!"

"Fire!"

With a loud bang, a shell was fired from the starboard 1st gun position of the Pallas, and the sea breeze blew away the smoke. I saw that the shells fell a hundred meters away from the enemy ship.

At this time, the gunners calculated the trajectory of the projectile one after another, and judged where the shell hit the next moment with the highest chance of hitting the enemy ship.

At 6:50, after the calibration of five or six shells. The general attack order was given.

At this time, eight warships had already completed the right turn, and the advantage of the word was quite obvious.

"Fire!"

Knock knock!

The Pallas opened fire first, and the starboard gun's tongue of fire spewed out, and shells swept across the sea and fired at the enemy ships.

After several calibrations, the hit rate after the salvo suddenly increased, and five shells hit the enemy ship in an instant. In an instant, the hot shells tore open the planks of the enemy ship and shot through a row of irregular holes in the hull of the enemy ship.

Immediately afterwards, the seven cruisers behind opened fire in turn, and the shells in the sky were fired at the head ship of the second detachment of the Dutch fleet. Total; …； Multiple shells hit the enemy ship, and the hull of the enemy ship was instantly beaten into a hornet's nest, and the river was small

At this time, the cruiser completed its right turn and fired again at the enemy ship. Due to the constant shelling, the speed of the enemy ship was greatly reduced. As a result, the first salvo of fire from the old cruiser had six shells hit the waterline of the enemy ship, and in an instant small shells pierced the hull, piercing several baffles in a row, and seawater poured into it. The enemy ship suddenly tilted towards the port side, and the speed was again greatly reduced.

Then, when the cruiser "Old" passed by the enemy ship, a volley of fire immediately smashed the port side of the enemy ship to pieces, and a large number of people swarmed into the sea. The enemy ship quickly capsized towards the port side. Due to the lack of watertight compartment design of the foreigner's warship, the anti-sinking ability was too poor, and it was under the attack of the battle line of the first warframe. The lead ship of the second detachment of the Dutch fleet was disabled in five minutes, and ten minutes later sank into the sea.

With Deng Haonan's arrival in Taiwan, he first inspected the fortresses of San Salbado and Santo Domingo in Taipei, and then arrived in Tainan to inspect the Beigang, Beigang Haiphong Fortresses, Longmen Port Water Fortresses, Geranza Fortresses, and Provencia Fortresses. Deng Haonan was very satisfied with the military arrangement.

However, in the face of the two million people in Beigang, Deng Haonan had a headache for the first time.

Deng Haonan's subordinates are basically military attachés. There is nothing to say about the war. But the governance of the place is very poor.

As promised and decided before. Deng Haonan established the Taiwan Governor at the Gerancha Fortress, and Huang Dahai was appointed as the first Governor of Taiwan. However. Deng Haonan regards Taiwan as his home base, although he is new to Huang Dahai. However, there is no guarantee that there will be no remnants of Zheng Zhilong among his subordinates.

In this regard, Huang Zupei, a staff member of the General Staff, gave a plan. That is to keep Shi Daxuan in Taiwan, because Shi Daxuan and his family have always been at odds with Huang Dahai's family, as a way to balance the forces of the two sides of Taiwan. At the same time, the key departments should be replaced by Deng Haonan's descendants, so that the stability of the Taiwan government can be maintained.

As a result, Deng Haonan appointed Shi Daxuan as the governor of Taiwan to oversee Taiwan's government affairs. However, Deng Haonan dismantled and integrated Huang Dahai's subordinates and Shi Daxuan's subordinates on the grounds of reorganization, dismantling and integrating the old, weak, sick and disabled people on both sides, leaving the young and strong together. So that the soldiers cannot find the generals, and the soldiers will not be found. It won't be long before Huang Dahai and Shi Daxuan's influence on their men will gradually wane.

The general strategy of the Taiwan government was finalized. The rest is easy to do.

The concentration of population in the Beigang area was too large, so Deng Haonan divided a series of new urban settlements. First of all, starting from Taipei, the Holy Salbado Fortress was renamed Keelung Fortress, and the residential area around Keelung Fortress was under the jurisdiction of Keelung City. The Santo Domingo Fortress was renamed the Taoyuan Fortress. The vicinity is included in Taoyuan City, and its jurisdiction includes the Tamsui area. The two fortress cities each emigrated 500,000 residents to build Taipei's industrial base based on mining, metallurgy, foundry and other industries.

From north to south, six second-class cities of Hsinchu, Xingang, Miaoli, Changhua, Yunlin and Beigang were established in turn. The allocation of 100,000 people per city is small and based on plantation. It is mainly engaged in the production of corn, rice, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other grains. Build an agricultural base in Taichung to provide a stable food supply for the Liaodong Governorate.

The Relanja Fortress was renamed Chiayi Fortress and Chiayi City was established. It has a population of 200,000. The Plovingia Fortress was renamed the Dongning Fortress, with a population of 200,000. It is the seat of the state of Taiwan. The two cities of Dongning and Chiayi form the Tainan Industrial Zone, which mainly grows cash crops such as sugarcane for sugar production because of the hot climate. At the same time, Tainan is also an imitation weaving base, using a large number of local trees to kill large-scale silkworms, and become a raw silk production base.

The Penghu Islands are based in Longmen Port, and the position of Penghu Governor of the Ming Dynasty is under the direct jurisdiction of the General Staff of the Liaodong Governor's Office, and the Pacific Naval Command is temporarily acting as an agent.

The eastern part of the island of Taiwan is rarely willing to go there because of the frequent typhoons. Although the Gaoshan tribes and other tribes in Taiwan could not resist the migration of a large number of Han people into Taiwan, many of which were mixed with the Han people, there were still many tribes who retreated to the mountains and were unwilling to make contact.

If this group of people is unwilling to live with the Han people, then it will be difficult to control them, and if there are external forces that take the opportunity to use them against Deng Haonan. It will cause a lot of trouble.

For this reason, Deng Haonan thanked the Dorojiao tribe for their generous help, and on the other hand, established Hualien City in Dorojiao, with the leader of the Dorojiao tribe as the mayor. It is hoped that through Guò Hualien City, the living habits of these primitive tribesmen will be gradually changed. Let them adapt to the Han Chinese into the mastery.

After dividing Taiwan's administrative regions at all levels, the rest of the work will be further dispersed among the people gathered in the vicinity of Beigang.

However, to Deng Haonan's surprise, the people here actually asked to return to their hometown on the mainland.

In the Dongning Governor's Mansion, Deng Haonan listened to Shi Daxuan's report, and his brows suddenly twisted into iron bumps.

Nearly 500,000 ordinary people have asked to return to Fujian's coastal provinces, and if Deng Haonan lets them go back, then who will develop Taiwan? Deng Haonan is also ready to use Taiwan as his big rear base!

Huang Dahai said: "The people miss their homeland, if you don't let them go back." Sooner or later, something will happen! ”

Deng Haonan nodded, he naturally understood this truth in his heart. But if you put so many old people back and then go back, it will be a great economic loss! Now Deng Haonan wants to build Taiwan's industrial and agricultural base, which needs a large number of labor supplements.

Shi Daxuan saw Deng Haonan's difficulty, so he said: "The governor of the capital should not implement the sea ban. As long as the people don't have boats, they can't go back. As long as they stay in Taiwan for a few years, they each have a reluctant family business. At that time, small,

Deng Haonan asked, "What did you do before?"

"Prohibition of the sea and armor protection system". Huang Dahai said:. Use the fleet to patrol the seas. At the same time, the common people are divided into A, and there are 20 households without A, and there is a head of A. If any of the families escape, all twenty households will be executed! ”

Deng Haonan was stunned, this trick was vicious, but Deng Haonan didn't want to do it. This will lead him to lose the support of the people and will not be conducive to Taiwan's development.

Seeing Deng Haonan shaking his head, Shi Daxuan said: "I think the policy implemented by the Metropolitan Governor in Jinzhou is very good!" If it can be used in Taiwan, it will surely retain the hearts of most people. It's just that in this way, the Metropolitan Governor needs to invest a considerable amount of money! ”

Thinking of the huge amount of money invested by Golden State, Deng Haonan felt painful, and almost ran out of food for Golden State, if it wasn't for Mexican trade, even if it made up for the deficit, I really don't know what the result would be.

"Tell me about it!"

Shi Daxuan replied: "First of all, the metropolitan governor Zhang Bang An Min. Saying that the Dutch are still at sea and that the war is not over yet. The last time the court fought with the Dutch for eight months, so the common people here know that they will not be suspicious. In this way, the common people can live in peace for about a year. Then, the Metropolitan Governor implemented the same tax-free policy as Liaodong. Fifty taxes for one and three years of tax exemption, this kind of preferential people's psychology is bright, enough to attract a large number of people to stay. At the same time, the imperial court issued an article saying that the imperial court had defined these ordinary people as Zheng Zhilong's comrades, and that it was only after repeated pleas by the metropolitan governor that the imperial court allowed them to stay in Taiwan, but did not allow them to go back. In this way, the common people will be grateful to the Metropolitan Governor, and after a year, the common people will naturally follow the Metropolitan Governor and stay in Taiwan

is worthy of being a military advisor, Deng Haonan nodded appreciatively and said, "So good!" I'll leave this matter to you! ”

The subordinates obey the order".

Shi Daxuan showed his talent in front of Na Haonan, and he was naturally proud.

As soon as the Anmin list came out, there were 3 sensations. Deng Haonan was willing to let the people return to Fujian, which made the people very grateful. immediately blamed all the anger on Zheng Zhilong and the imperial court, which made Zheng Zhilong's status in their hearts deteriorate. The remnants of Zheng Zhilong, who were mixed in the crowd, did not dare to see people, for fear of being torn apart by the angry people.

Invisibly, the imperial court carried the black cauldron, while Deng Haonan gained fame and fortune and strengthened his rule over Taiwan.

Ordinary people could not return to the mainland, so they had to return to reality. According to the regulations issued by the Taiwan government, ordinary people began to migrate to the various urban areas divided throughout the island of Taiwan.

Of course, the people's previous family wealth in Beigang can be transferred or sold directly to the Taiwan government. And the Taiwanese government has also promised that all those who have migrated to other cities. All of them will receive financial subsidies from the Taiwan government, and the government guarantees that everyone will have jobs and farms.

As a result, in the face of the great temptation of the decree promulgated by the Taiwan government, which exempts taxes for three years, pays one tax for fifty years, and never increases them, the common people finally could not resist and moved to various places one after another according to the plan of the Taiwan government.

As an industrial base in the second city of Taipei, Deng Haonan invested a lot of money, and the investment in the first phase of infrastructure construction was as high as 5 million taels of silver. All the remaining machinery and equipment in Wujiao City were transferred to Keelung, and the promised work to the people was to carry out infrastructure construction. Due to the abundant labor force and abundant funds, the construction of the Taipei Industrial Base is in full swing.

According to the plan, "the industrial base in Taipei will build two large-scale iron-making plants, with a designed annual output of 1,000 tons of molten iron. Ironmaking requires coke, and due to technical problems, the capacity of the blast furnace is very low, so the coke consumption is very high. Smelting 1,000 tons of molten iron. Two large-scale coke plants with an annual output of 300 tons are required. A large-scale steelmaking plant with an estimated annual output value of 900 tons of steel. A large forging plant is used to forge and roll steel into the steel required by various departments.

On the whole, the Taipei industrial base basically only serves the military industry, and all steel is basically consumed in large arsenals. In addition, there are supporting gunpowder factories and garment factories.

It is worth mentioning that Deng Haonan built a barrage reservoir on the Tamsui River, so that the water from the reservoir can irrigate crops in nearby farmland. Second, this reservoir will be installed more than a dozen huge water wheels, although Na Hao Nan can not be used to generate electricity, but with the help of water wheels and gear transmission technology to complete the work that can not be done by manpower.

The use of waterwheels and gears to complete work has long appeared in the private sector of various countries around the world, but it is generally on a small scale. It is the first time that Deng Haonan has directly built a reservoir and used a huge water wheel for steel forging and stamping.

This counts. First adopted by the Arsenal. First, the explosion of the gunpowder depot of Wang Gongchang in Beijing sounded the alarm bell for Deng Haonan, so the arsenal was built next to the Tamsui River. In this way, the turbines of the Tamsui River reservoir will first be applied to the arsenal. Deng Haonan only designed a blueprint, and the rest was modified and carried forward by the masters and mechanics in the arsenal. Clever craftsmen designed the first tap water supply system in human history. Of course. It is not a water pipe for the afterlife. Rather, it's a tap water sink. The sink surrounds the various workshops, warehouses, studios, rest rooms and other places of the arsenal, taking advantage of the high water drop of the reservoir. So that the sink is always flowing with water. In this way, because the sink separates the various areas, in the event of a fire or explosion, the sink will be disconnected when it shakes, so as to achieve the purpose of extinguishing the fire and isolating.
