When several rebels who came out of a private house with their trouser belts and were still commenting on the prostitution just now, they suddenly ran head-on into a group of soldiers with guns and knives, and before these rebels stepped forward to greet them, the young military attache led by them gave an order, and the group of soldiers who were all black immediately hit them with the tail of their guns and the back of their knives. biquge.info As soon as a few rebellious soldiers were defeated, the soldiers skillfully tied them into a string with rope sheaths, and then drove in the direction of the Yanwu Pavilion Imperial School.

If you can zoom in on the camera and look down on Siming from the sky, you will find that the scene just now is just a corner of the city's search, of course, there are also rebels, but how can a group of unorganized miscellaneous soldiers face the long guns that come in rows, when several corpses pierced into a sieve are hung on the street, Siming's law and order are quickly restored.

"Inform Wu Pingbo, the boy scout Kunlun standard has cleared the vicinity of the royal dock and most of the city, captured 3,100 rebels, a total of four people were killed and eleven were wounded, and then this standard was ordered to go out of the city to clear up, please Liu Shuai assign a guide."

Liu Guoxuan looked at the middle-aged soldier in front of him, whose tone was respectful but with a hint of arrogance in his words, had not yet spoken, and He You on the side shouted loudly: "Old eighteen, good guy, you have a good temper, but this group of black soldiers under you is quite capable of fighting, and it has only been more than two hours to clear the city, but you have the ability to speak hard words." ”

Looking at the puzzled peers on the side, He You introduced to everyone: "This is He Qian, the brother of the Yu family, who was also an assistant general back then, and later the grandson went to Xiangzan to build a boy camp, and now it is considered to be a boil out, by the way, what's going on with this standard, the armies of this domain don't seem to have this system, the old eighteen, you tell me." ”

He Qian looked at He You with some embarrassment, and Liu Guoxuan was also a little dissatisfied with He You's reliance on the old man and disregarding his commander's position, but He You was one of Zhu Jin's favorite generals, and He Qian was Zheng Kezang's pro-army, so it was not easy to get angry and reprimand, so he could only choose to ignore He You's words in the end.

"He Qian, you lead Kunlun, Kunlun Biao rests for a while, and Ben Shuai will find you a guide immediately." As he spoke, Liu Guoxuan looked back and pointed. "Jiang Sheng, Wu Gui, the two of you immediately execute ten draws and one kill, and then reorganize the team, lead the Kunlun Biao to clear the whole island of chaos, not in vain, and kill anyone who resists on the spot"

Ten draws and one kill is almost one of the most severe punishments in the army in the era of cold weapons, with more than 300 heads on the ground, the originally loose military discipline was suddenly wiped out, relying on the Kunlun standard and the reinvigorated Zheng Jun, Liu Guoxuan took another day and a half to finally completely stabilize Siming's situation.

On 26 February, Zhu Jin led the first batch of ships to evacuate Taiwan to evacuate Siming, and arrived in Penghu three days later.

In fact, from the beginning of Zhu Jin's retreat, Yao Qisheng, Wu Xingzuo, Wan Zhengse and other Qing troops in Fujian Province stationed in Tong'an City had already received the news, but in view of the strength of the Zheng army's naval division in Kinmen, the Qing army did not dare to wade lightly, so they watched Zheng Kezang completely empty the two islands of Siming and Kinmen.

On March 7, the general retreat of Qiongzhou also began, Zheng Xingying, Chen Qing and others drove the Zheng army, which was less than 5,000 after hearing the rup, to withdraw to Dongning in eleven batches with more than 10,000 Qiongzhou people

On April 28, Zheng Kezhang accompanied Zhu Jin back to Anping, and before he could go back to see his two daughters, who had been born for almost two months, he was summoned to the North Park Courtyard by Dong Guotai with Zhu Jin: "If you are not talented, you should not go; Looking at this move now, it is in vain to exhaust the mulberry and the living beings, what a benefit! ”

Hearing Dong Guotai's angry rebuke, Zhu Jin's face was like ashes, and Zheng Kezang was naturally uncomfortable, so he defended Zhu Jin softly: "Grandmother, China is a swing, and my father went out to relieve the people from hanging, although he was defeated in a hundred battles, but this is by no means useless, and he must shake the foundation of the Tartars"

"Hugh will defend him." Dong Guotai stopped Zheng Kezang, and then pointed the finger at this eldest grandson. "What did you do when your father gave you the responsibility of supervising Taiwan," Concubine Dong asked. "Could it be that Siming still lacks you, the army is chaotic overnight, if something goes wrong, what kind of situation do you put your father and king."

Father and son, you look at me, I look at you, I have to accept Dong Guotai's scolding, and finally Dong Guotai is tired of being scolded, so the father and son escaped with their heads in their arms, and when they got out of the North Park Courtyard, Zhu Jin looked at Zheng Kezhang with a complicated expression: "Qin She, my father has nothing to do, and I am very ashamed of your grandfather and the people of Taiwan, you are better than your father, so let's do it." ”

Zhu Jin's words were like his last words, and at this moment he was even more unlucky, Zheng Kezang didn't dare to accept it, so he hurriedly responded: "Father, the child is young and stubborn, how dare he take on such a heavy responsibility, even if the father intends to cultivate, the son can only charge ahead, and the father and the king are always in charge." ”

"Don't say more, my father can trust you." Zhu Jin climbed on his shoulder and nodded at Zheng Kezang. "Even if there is something you can't eat, just ask your father-in-law, my father has been fighting for many years, and he is physically and mentally exhausted, so let him be lonely and enjoy peace for a few years." After that, Zhu Jin knocked on the shoulder, and the two wrestlers immediately carried him away, Zheng Kezhang was stunned, and heard Zhu Jin's faint voice from afar. "Remember to bring your children to see orphans in your spare time."

Zheng Kezhang immediately knelt down in the direction where Zhu Jin was going: "The son respectfully obeys his father's orders"

"Dear Stevenson, the Kingdom of Dongning has completely failed in the struggle with the Tatar regime for the dominance of China, if the company does not make a mistake in judgment, the Tatar regime will soon turn to a counteroffensive, in this case, the company continues to set up a commercial pavilion in Dayuan, I am afraid that it will affect the company's trade with Chinese mainland." The military defeat of Ming and Zheng not only led to the change of hands on the mainland and Qiongzhou, but also gave rise to the intention of the British, who had always been known for their shrewdness and cunning, to interrupt trade and commerce. "Therefore, it is imperative to withdraw the museum, and please be prepared to evacuate all the British merchants and craftsmen in Dongning as much as possible."

"What made the company make such a decision?" Of course, not everyone agreed with the decision to withdraw, at least Stevenson, who was the director of the Merchant Pavilion, was not willing to give up this position. "Is it a benefit? But companies should know that the current Tartar regime is pursuing a policy of blockading the seas and prohibiting foreign trade, and in this case, isn't it a gamble to give up the interests that still exist in favor of the unknowable interests of the future? ”

"Gambling, dear Stevenson, no, no, not like that." The British East India Company's envoy shook his head, dandruff spilling everywhere with the rich incense powder. "Although the Tartar regime is now carrying out a policy of blockade, but the Kingdom of Tungning is destroyed, then the basis for this policy will soon disappear, and the Tartars will need silver from Manila, spices from Batavia, precious stones from India, clocks from Europe, and for this they will pay for tea, porcelain, silk, and it can be expected that the company will make a very considerable profit in it, and the amount of this income will be enough in a short time to cover the income from the loss of Dongning."

"I don't agree with your judgment." Stevenson has his own reasons. "It is true that Chinese goods are of great value in Europe, and companies can make considerable profits from this trade, but the spices of Batavia, the precious stones of India, and the clocks and watches of Europe are not enough to pay the price of these goods from China, and we, not only the companies, but all the merchants of Europe, must pay the Tartars a huge amount of silver to buy these things, and once this silver flows in, it is like entering the abyss, is there such a constant supply of silver in the European world? Maybe the Spaniards, but the company definitely won't. ”

As for the problem that silver will not flow out of China after it flows into China, some people in the British East India Company have long raised a dissenting opinion on this, but there has never been a fundamental solution, so when Stevenson said this, the envoy's expression suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but straighten his neck: "What do you mean?" ”

"Your Excellency is right, my personal opinion is that only war can make silver flow," Stevenson was clearly confident. "I made an analysis of the materials imported by Dongning in recent years, among which saltpeter, sails, iron ore and other materials used as gunpowder ingredients accounted for the vast majority, and the rest were brown sugar and slaves, which were used to make white sugar and rock sugar." The envoy listened patiently. "Just two months ago, the crown prince of Dongning placed a huge order with the company, worth more than 10,000 pounds." The meaning of the pound is a pound of silver, and a pound is almost equivalent to fourteen and a half taels, and the value of 150,000 taels of silver is indeed a big business. "It's all paid in cash."

"Does Dongning have such financial resources?" Although the envoy was surprised by the huge figure of 10,000 pounds, he was not a small businessman who was oblivious to the money, and based on his understanding of Dongning's financial situation, his first thought was that Ming Zheng was writing a blank check. "Stevenson, how do you make sure the other party doesn't pay the bill?"

"First, the crown prince has announced that this kind of business is not the only time, and if they lose their word, the next trade will naturally not be able to continue." Of course, Stevenson didn't simply believe in Zheng Kezang's assurances. "Second, now in addition to the sugar trade, Dongning has also launched the whale oil trade, although it is only the beginning, but the income will not be less than 15,000 taels a year, if it is really not possible, we can also accept the discount of whale oil, whale bones, and whale products." Third, and most importantly, this is the point. "Dongning can also provide some tea and porcelain."

It's not that Taiwan doesn't produce tea and porcelain, but it wasn't enough to meet the island's needs before, so how could it be used for exports, but now Zheng Kezhang can only choose to squeeze this part of domestic demand in order to obtain necessary imports under the condition of limited financial resources.

"So, the big man's merchant house really can't be closed immediately?" The envoy groaned.

"Yes, and Sir Hull will be asked to give an explanation to the Council of Companies." Stevenson smiled. "One qiē for the king and money."

"That's right, for the king and money." Hull nodded. "I'll be back in Mumbai tomorrow!"
