The Mawei army landed on the shore in a big way, but the Zheng army could no longer stop it. Taiwan's coastline is also long enough, who made Taiwan a big island surrounded by the sea on all sides, Mawei warships burst into several ports, landed in a big way, the Zheng army stationed along the coast could not resist at all, and the bombardment of the huge artillery on the Mawei warship.

Zheng Jing made a fortune over the years, in addition to casting a batch of cannons for himself, he also purchased a batch of red-coated cannons from the Mawei Army, and they purchased some red-coated cannons from the Portuguese and Spaniards. But these cannons are just a dish in front of the new cannons of the Mawei Army. For example, the cannons sold by the Mawei Army to Zheng Jing are all old-fashioned and outdated products, and their power is very great in Zheng Jing's eyes, but compared with the guns of the Mawei Warships, they are several grades worse.

Zheng Jing's newly built Anping Fort and Sicao Fort installed more than 150 heavy guns, large and small, but it was not enough to see in front of the dense shells of the Mawei battleship, and it only took an hour for these batteries to be removed. When the Marines landed on the island of Taiwan, the defenders on the island were demoralized, and in the absence of an advantage in numbers, many of the Zheng troops only withstood a round of onslaught from the Mawei Army and surrendered voluntarily.

When the Mawei army landed and quickly pounced on the royal city, the Zheng army here was already in a mess. Zheng Jing also knew that the general trend had gone!

"King Yanping, you have an idea, the Mawei Army is pressing the border this time, and Taiwan will definitely not be able to keep it!" Feng Xifan knelt down on one knee and said.

"Then, you mean surrender?!"

"Yes, King Yanping. Geng Jingzhong has already won half of the world at this moment. The military and financial resources are extremely strong. Presumably, Wu Sangui is not his opponent. If we surrender at this moment, we can still keep the king of Yanping alive, if we continue to resist, then," Feng Xifan comforted.

General Yan Wangzhong immediately retorted: "King Yanping, by all means, we still have the support of hundreds of thousands of people on Taiwan Island, and we have at least 50,000 soldiers to recruit soldiers, and it may not be impossible to defend Taiwan to the death." How can you surrender lightly? ”

"Up to now, Taiwan's strength is far inferior to that of the mainland, Geng Jingzhong has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and there is an incomparably powerful Mawei Navy, our naval fleet has been completely lost, Taiwan has no coastal defense, and the Mawei Army can drive straight into the army to land in Taiwan, at that time, what resistance do you have?" Feng Xifan asked.

"The one who is here, the king of Yanping. It's not a bad thing to take the initiative. Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, was also sent to the city a few years ago, and then took the initiative to surrender. What now? Although he is not in power, he is rich. The children of the Shang family can study in the Fujian Future School, and the talented ones are selected and hired. Geng Jingzhong's wealth and goods were not taken, and they all returned to the Shang family. It can be seen from this that Geng Jingzhong is not a murderer, and surrender may not be a good way out. ”

"Junshi Chen, what do you think?" Zheng Jing hesitated, turned his head and asked Chen Yonghua, the military advisor.

"Surrender, King Yanping, we have no strength to resist. Unless the king of Yanping wants to wander the South Seas alone. Even so, if Geng Jingzhong is annoyed, the Mawei Army stationed on Luzon Island in the South Ocean can also encircle and intercept us. What's more, the Dutch in Nanyang now have a close relationship with the Mawei Army, and we have nowhere to hide! Chen Yonghua said sharply. Indeed, now it is either a fight to the death, or a hasty surrender, there is no other way. Even if you want to escape, there is nowhere to go, the Wa Kingdom in the north, the Mawei Army is covered by the power, and the mainland does not need to think about it, the influence of the Nanyang Mawei Army is now even greater, and there is no way to escape.

Zheng Jing was speechless, and waited for a while before he said helplessly: "Go out of the city and surrender!" The inheritance left by my father is thus buried in my hands. ”

Zheng Jing's surrender also saved Wang Zhenbang the trouble, and the army soon marched into the royal city and took over all the Zheng participating armies. All the former ministers of the Zheng family, Wang Zhenbang, did not move, but were temporarily placed under house arrest and sent to Fujian together to wait for Geng Jingzhong to deal with them.

But for Zheng Jing's several main generals still have to be treated differently, at this time Shi Lang still in Zhejiang did not know the news here, Liu Guoxuan was killed in the naval battle, but there are still a few talents on this island of Taiwan. For example, Chen Yonghua, the military advisor, and Feng Xifan, the commander of the Wei Army, are all talents. Chen Yonghua, in particular, is a rare talent in internal affairs, and of course he is also very powerful in military affairs. It's just that in dealing with internal affairs, it can be said that it is no less than Yao Qisheng, and even a little better in terms of understanding. More than ten years ago, Zheng Chenggong praised him: Yonghua is now Wolongye, awarded him the post of "Consultative Army", and appointed him as Zheng Jingzhi's teacher.

Zheng Jing was able to gain a firm foothold in Taiwan very quickly, and Chen Yonghua contributed a lot. A few years ago, in order to solve the problem of insufficient food for the army, Chen Yonghua encouraged the generals of the Ming and Zheng Dynasty to carry out military cantonments, using rice as the most important crop. In addition, sugarcane has been selected as one of the priorities of agricultural development, and sugarcane is refined into sugar, which is then sold as a commodity to Japan and the United Kingdom. Obviously, without his vigorous promotion in those years, it was trade with Fujian and Guangdong, and they had no goods. Over the years, it has been sugar, but it has obtained a huge amount of benefits for Zheng Jing.

In addition, Chen Yonghua attaches great importance to cultivating talents. Eleven years ago, he proposed to Zheng Jing the idea of "building a holy temple and establishing a school", believing that this was urgent. However, Zheng Jing's answer was that "the place is not only cramped, but also the people are scarce, so let's wait for the future", thinking that this matter is premature. At that time, Chen Yonghua quoted scriptures and classics to emphasize the importance of education. He believes that Taiwan is thousands of miles of fertile land, far off the coast, and has simple folk customs, and if we can recommend talented people to assist in political affairs, we will be able to catch up with the Central Plains region after a period of education and recuperation. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a place to build a temple and set up a school "to collect talents, so that the country has wise men, the state is self-consolidated, and the world is prosperous." Zheng Jing was persuaded and finally agreed to set up a school to develop Taiwan's cultural and educational undertakings, and appointed Chen Yonghua to take charge of relevant matters.

Chen Yonghua then created a relatively complete top-down education system: the whole of Taiwan set up the "Guozijian", as the highest institution of learning in Taiwan, and each prefecture, state, and county set up "government school", "state school", and "county school" respectively. In addition, it is also required that all communities in the areas where the Gaoshan compatriots live should also set up "primary schools", so as to facilitate the education of Gaoshan children. At the same time, in order to reduce the burden on the compatriots of the Gaoshan tribe. Chen Yonghua encouraged them to send their children to school. Specially stipulated. All the children of the Gaoshan tribe "study in the township school, and they will be served".

He combined education with the selection of talents, and vigorously promoted the mainland's imperial examination system. In addition, it stipulates that children in Taiwan must "enter primary school at the age of eight and be taught classics and historical texts." He also implemented two examinations in three years, "according to the subject and the annual example of the examination of Confucian children to improve the level of education." He also implemented the system of recommending talents, and sent the government to the government for the state examination, and the hospital for the government examination. If you are in the middle of the college examination, you can be allowed to enter Taixue, and you will still have monthly classes. Then, those who take the test in three years will make up for the six official affairs, and they will be promoted and transferred" and become officials.

Soon after, Chen Yonghua chose a site in Ningnanfang, Chengtian Mansion to start the construction of the Temple Academy. In the fifth year of Kangxi, that is, in the first month of spring ten years ago, the holy temple was completed, and the Minglun Hall was built next to it. March. The college was also established, and Chen Yonghua personally presided over it. Hire the ceremonial officer Ye Heng as the assistant teacher of Guozi. Due to the initial construction of the school, the Central Plains culture. In the same year, he presided over the construction of Taiwan's first Confucian temple and vigorously developed education.

As for the local level, Chen Yonghua introduced the armor protection system to maintain local order. Ten households for a card, ten cards for a card, ten for a guarantee. Regardless of their migration, occupation, marriage, birth, or death, they must report to the local officials through the armor. Under public security considerations, Chen Yonghua also banned gambling. In the past year or so, many people have emigrated from Zhejiang, and he has arranged for the new people to reclaim their fields and build houses, thus enabling the great development of central Taiwan, and now Taiwan's population has risen from 400,000 five years ago to 800,000, and this large number of people has also enabled Taiwan to achieve vigorous development.

In the past, when Li Guangdi was still a minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he once said: "Taiwan has not been recovered for a long time, mainly because Chen Yonghua has managed it well." Today, God hates war and let him die, and from then on, Taiwan's recovery will be just around the corner. It can be seen that if there was no Chen Yonghua, Zheng Jing would not have lasted so long.

Lian Heng also said: "Han Prime Minister Zhuge Wuhou, hugging Wang Zuozhicai, the rebellion of the world, the monarch and the minister, built a house in Shudu, in order to preserve the Han Zuo, and the world called it." Yonghua knows the merits and martial arts, etc., and cannot assist the British Lord to restore the Ming room, wandering above the sea, the sky! However, the opening of things has become a business, and the body is benevolent and long, and it is still blessed by it, and Ze is profound! ”

Therefore, Geng Jingzhong instructed Wang Zhenbang to treat Chen Yonghua and other Zheng Jun generals well, and these people will become his right-hand men in the future.

Wang Zhenbang did not embarrass Zheng Jing, Geng Jingzhong had already instructed that if Zheng Jing did not surrender, he should also try to capture him as much as possible, and if he surrendered on his own initiative, help him move, his palace cannot be moved, but most of his other property can still be retained.

A day later, Zheng Jing slowly stood up in the garden of the palace backyard and walked to the front room. He quietly looked at the Yiqi in the room, his eyes looking very obsessed. It's like looking at your newborn child, or a beautiful girl who has just taken off her clothes. For a long time, he didn't come back to his senses, even if his eldest son Zheng Kezhang was reminding him softly. At this time, Zheng Jing was still a little puzzled, was this true, Geng Jingzhong really let him go like this?!

Taiwan has been run by the Zheng family for many years, especially in these years, the people of Taiwan have lived a rich life, and the hearts of the people are still yearning for Zheng Jing. Besides, Zheng Chenggong had always been his idol before, and he didn't want to be called Zheng's queen.

Inside the main hall, there are large wooden boxes that have been packed. Inside the wooden box, all of them are the wealth that Zheng Jing has accumulated over the years. These riches include gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, ivory, coral, jade carvings, etc., all of which are complete and dazzling. If it is converted into silver, it is worth at least three million taels. Originally, there could have been more, but in the past few years, the vigorous development of armaments, coupled with the fight against the Qing army, the amount of silver consumed is not small, and it is already very good to be able to save three million taels.

If trade hadn't expanded over the years, the money would have been spent long ago. But now it's three million taels of silver. Such a number, back to the mainland, Jiangnan or Fujian and Guangdong, can be regarded as the top rich. Most of the families generally don't have so much silver. If this is placed in some small countries in Europe, it will definitely be a rich country!

In half a month, the island of Taiwan at this time has been completely calm. Zheng Jing and others have been taken to Fujian, and the Zheng army's prisoners of war have been reorganized again, temporarily becoming a cantonment army, and obediently began to work to clean up the original government offices and strongholds. A large number of Mawei soldiers also laid down their weapons and threw themselves into labor. Only some of the warships of the Eighth Squadron were left here, and the main fleets of the other Mawei Navy also went back to the coast of Fujian to rest.

In fact, a few years ago, Geng Jingzhong talked with Li Guangdi and Yao Qisheng about how to plan for Taiwan to take Taiwan. Geng Jingzhong's idea is much simpler: The geographical location of Taiwan Island is very important, and Taiwan will be an important garrison and supply point for the Mawei Army and Navy in the future.

As for Taiwan's development, the first point is grain, and grain production on the island of Taiwan must certainly be developed in a key way. The western plains of the island of Taiwan are particularly suitable for growing rice. There was once a song called "Rice Fragrance" by Geng Jingzhongtong Guò, which shows that this place is a matter of planting waterways. Here, rice can be harvested twice a year or even three times a year. Judging from the situation in later generations, the rice production of Taiwan Island is quite large, and even with a population of tens of millions, it seems that it does not need to import much grain, and it is basically self-sufficient.

As early as eight years ago, when Geng Jingzhong was developing sweet potatoes and other foreign crops on a large scale, he also asked those scientific research maniacs to study how to improve rice varieties, attacking the continuous hybridization in the experimental fields over the years, and also said that there are two kinds of waterway rice varieties that are very good, and they can basically produce 600 catties of rice per acre, which was unimaginable to the people in the past. However, Taiwan's side still needs to be realistic, and then think about it carefully. In the end, what kind of varieties should be selected and what kind of planning should be carried out in order to fully exploit the potential of Taiwan's land and climate.

As for the sea, Geng Jingzhong has always emphasized that it is necessary to vigorously develop the sea fishing industry. At this time, the sea was completely unpolluted, and the reproduction of fish was quite rapid. The development of the marine fishing industry will certainly not destroy the ecological balance, let alone talk about a fishing moratorium. For the next hundred years, the sea will be an endless treasure trove. As long as you have the ability, you can dig the wealth out of it.

At the very least, sea fishing can provide large quantities of seafood for inland areas, and large quantities of marine fish for food in years of famine. You must know that in recent years, the canned sea fish along the coast of Fujian has been very popular with the people in the mainland, and with the canned sea fish, even the salt at home can be left a lot.
