The scorching sun and scorched everything are sparse, and the sparse sweet potato seedlings remind people that the two-year drought is not over. (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info)

Looking at the cracked earth everywhere, Zheng Kezang, who had gone out to tour various parts of Dongning again on the grounds of settling people's hearts, reached out and grabbed a handful of dried soil from the ground, and turned his head to Yin Chen Ketan of Zhuluo County, who was full of sorrow behind him, while pinching and twisting with his fingers, and asked: "Chen Qing, how is Zhuluo preparing for drought this year?" ”

"If you go back to your grandson, the deep wells dug earlier can still produce water, but some streams have been cut off." Chen Ke answered honestly. "Irrigation can still be carried out with water wheels along the banks of Da Belly Creek and Turbid Water Creek, but farmers who are not on the edge of these big streams can only spend an hour or two a day queuing up to fetch a bucket or two of water from deep wells."

"The people have suffered." Zheng Kezhang sighed and sprinkled the newly twisted loose sand dust on the side of the road. "The feudal lord has already made a decision to exempt this year's summer tax." Chen Ke's face was happy, and he listened to Zheng Kezang continue. "In addition, I want to make it clear to the people that God is going to rain after all, and ask them to stay up for some more time."

"The minister will definitely convey the will of the grandson." Chen Ke hurriedly patted Zheng Kezang's ass. "Come to think of it, once the people learn about this summer's tax reduction, they will definitely sing the praises of the grandson Kuanren."

"What about people's hearts." Zheng Kezhang shook his head, the reason why he was tax-exempt was naturally because he couldn't collect it, and on the other hand, it was also to stabilize people's hearts, but he was not optimistic about how effective it would be. "By the way, Chen Qing, although there is no rain for a long time, we must still be prepared for flood control." Looking at the puzzled Chen Ke, Zheng Kezhang explained. "There is no rain for a long time, and a rain becomes a disaster." Chen Ke realized, Zheng Kezhang further instructed. "We must not allow the people to suffer from the drought and then the floods"

Although Zheng Kezang's tax-free policy and his own calm and calm patrol made the chaotic situation in Dongning somewhat stable, at the end of March, Yang Bingmo of the Penghu Pacification Division reported that there was a crocodile in Penghu, and Li Cang, the Freshwater Pacification Division, reported that various natural phenomena of volcanic eruptions in Tamsui in mid-April were regarded by people with ulterior motives as an omen of the change of dynasty and spread wildly, making the hearts of the Taiwanese who had not yet stabilized themselves in turmoil again, so that Chen Xianqiao gave birth to a son in order to make Dongning happy. What's more, these absurd rumors even influenced the decision of the Anguili people.

"Your Majesty, in view of the current extremely threatening military situation, in order to ensure the safety of our merchants, the British East India Company has decided to withdraw its business personnel from Dayuan." Although Rusuff, the chargé d'affaires of the British Merchant House, was respectful, the news delivered was that the British were about to slip away. "Please believe that we are still willing to maintain normal commercial relations with Your Majesty and the government of the Kingdom of Dongning, and I believe that after the war stops, we will do our best to restore the office of Dayuan."

"For your departure at this time, I have to say that it is regrettable and angry for this kind of behavior that is close to betrayal." Zheng Kezang's words stunned the interpreter, but his duty allowed him to translate completely. "No amount of clever words can change the relationship between the two sides because of this incident, Mr. Chargé d'Affaires, let me ask you one more question, can the goods ordered by this clan last year still arrive on time?"

"Given the current situation, we cannot guarantee that these supplies will still reach the big guys"

The chargé d'affaires wanted to explain something, but Zheng Kezhang interrupted him suddenly: "Very good, this is against the commercial credit that you have always advocated, in this case, come here, seize all the British ships in Hong Kong, take over the British and British merchant houses and warehouses, expel all the British people, give them a small boat, no, send a lucky boat to send them to Macao." ”

"No, Your Majesty, you can't do that." Charge d'Affaires roared, but two swordfish guards stood in front of him, leaving the Englishman with teeth and claws to vent his frustration in words. "You're *, and you're going to pay for it."

"The price? This sentence should be said by Yu. Zheng Kezhang sneered. This is the punishment you deserve for breaking the business contract and is the necessary collateral to ensure that you can continue to perform the contract. Speaking of which, Zheng Kezhang ordered. Drive him out, and within twelve hours, send all the Inguili out of Tungning. ”

The guards pushed and drove the charge d'affaires of Ying Guili out, and at this time, Fu Weilin, who accompanied the Ying Guili people, made a worried look: "Shisun, the Ying Guili people are also gone, and this domain will be completely isolated. ”

"Alone?" Zheng Kezhang shook his head. "The European Zhuyi have always only paid attention to strength, as long as the domain wins, as long as the domain shows the strength to ensure Dongning, don't say that the Yingguili people will be in a hurry to repair the old good, even Luzonyi, Franco, and even the French will come to the door one by one like sharks smelling blood, Qing don't worry."

Fu Weilin saw that Zheng Kezang did not lead to Zheng Qing's peace talks, and he was very anxious, so he spoke again: "Zhuyi seeks profit and forgets righteousness or does not matter, but there is a drought in this domain, and there is a strong enemy outside, and the commission really can't fight in vain, and the minister still thinks that it is better to ease it first." ”

"Master Fu's mind is afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty." Zheng Kezhang summoned the guards to explain two sentences gently, and soon a copy of the piece was handed to Fu Weilin, Fu Weilin received it for unknown reasons, looked down at the book "The Sea is Against the Sun", and listened to Zheng Kezhang at this time. "Fu Qing can open it and take a look, this is the piece that Shi Lang presented to the Tartar chief Kangxi, the meaning of it is already clear, and this battle will never be eased."

Fu Weilin was shocked, and hurriedly opened it to watch: "He Jinchen selected 20,000 strange among the officers and soldiers on land and water, and practiced for a day, which can be called proficient, enough to break the thief's wisdom and take a full view, stay in the middle and don't send it, I am afraid that the discussion of suppression and appeasement will not be compatible, or there may be leaks to harm it."

"This, this," Fu Weilin suddenly looked at it like a deflated ball, the reason why he was depressed was because Shi Lang had already written very clearly, and the appeasement was just a false shot, in this case, he had lost the reason to go to Fuzhou, and naturally there was no possibility of getting out before the war. "Shisun, this, this is true?"

"The Ryukyu Merchant House brought it in," Zheng Kezhang confirmed. "It cost a lot of money, and there shouldn't be any fakes."

The muscles on Fu Weilin's face twitched, and he received a message from Zheng Kezang's words, that is, the Ryukyu Battalion had a secret post on the mainland, and for a while his heart was a little active again, and he couldn't help asking: "Shisun, where did the Ryukyu Battalion get such secrets, don't fall for others." ”

"Fooled?" Zheng Kezang's heart suddenly moved, he felt that Fu Weilin's reaction was strange, and he immediately paid attention to this suspicion. "True or false, this battle is inevitable anyway, and it's just a matter of plugging the mouths of those half-hearted guys with this thing." Zheng Kezang's words made Fu Weilin's heart beat wildly, and at this moment, Zheng Kezhang ordered. "Fu Qing, the Boy Scouts are doing it on North Shanwei Island, for fear of losing their proportions, you go over to supervise one or two, and by the way, let them build a wall outside the commercial port, so that the Qing army may not use the commercial port to land."

As soon as Fu Weilin left, Zheng Kezhang immediately summoned Yu Ping: "Now there are many rumors on the market, many of which are from the mansions of important ministers of this domain, you immediately send someone to investigate, you must find the source, in addition, Fu Weilin's appearance is suspicious, staring at him, once there is evidence, he will be arrested immediately?"

Zheng Kezhang firmly did not want to negotiate peace with the Qing court again, but Liu Guoxuan sent envoys in order to disrupt Shi Lang's advance plan. On May 6 of that year, Huang Xuecheng, the commander-in-chief of the former town of the Navy Division, arrived in Fuzhou by sea to deliver Liu Guoxuan's private message to Yao Qisheng, proposing that "please follow the example of Ryukyu, Goryeo and other foreign countries, call the ministers to pay tribute, and do not shave their hair and go ashore." Yao Qisheng, who was depressed because Shi Lang obtained the power of expropriation, immediately reported to Beijing as a flying horse if he got the treasure.

Qing dynasty Jiang Liangqi wrote "Donghualu? Volume eight? There is a very detailed record of this period of history in the 22nd year of Kangxi (1683): "May Jiazi (23rd). First of all, Yao Qisheng, the governor of Fujian, [the pirate Liu Guoxuan sent the puppet official Huang Xueyu to write a book, please follow the examples of foreign countries such as Ryukyu and Goryeo, call the ministers to pay tribute, and do not shave their hair and go ashore; Whether it should be as requested, please decide]. It is said that [Taiwan's thieves are all Fujianese, and they must not be compared with Ryukyu and Goryeo. If he repents and shaves his hair and returns to sincerity, the governor, Fu and other select capable officials to go to Fu. Or the thief heard that the soldiers were attacking and planned to delay the army, but it was unpredictable. It is confirmed that if there is an opportunity, the admiral can be ordered to march in accordance with the previous order. As a result, Yao Qisheng played [sent Fuzhou Deputy General Huang Chaoyong to Liu Guoxuan and others, still as preface]. Shang Nai Qu Shi Lang Rapid Advance Troops"

So the camouflage of a qiē was torn, and a big war was about to begin.

However, just when the war was about to break out, a heavy rain poured down, from May 28 to the sixth day of June, and all parts of Dongning "valleys collapsed". Faced with the situation of not going alone, Zheng Kezhang was forced to go to Nobunagaki to inform Tagawa Jiro Saemon to accept the extremely harsh conditions of the Japanese side, and to provide 500 quintals of raw silk every year for 10 years as interest, and to borrow 300,000 quintals of silver, red copper, and grain from the Japanese Kansai Haoshang Group.

Zheng Kezang's efforts have not yet been effective, Shi Lang has moved from Xinghua Pinghaiwei to Tongshan to prepare for the final attack on Taiwan, at this time Yao Qisheng, who was once angry with Shi Lang because of the merit, saw that Kangxi's mind had changed his mind, and sent 3,000 reinforcements to Tongshan, so far the Qing army has been completely prepared, just waiting to sail eastward on the next day
