After learning that Galdan had launched the Second Eastern Crusade, Kangxi sent two large armies in January 1690 to advance in the direction of the Krulun River and the Tula River, in an attempt to flank the Dzungars on the left and right. biquge.info At the same time, Galdan left behind the old and weak women and children who could not fight, and left the base camp of Kobdo with all the remaining elite soldiers and horses, totaling more than 20,000 people, to launch the Third Crusade.

After entering the territory of Tushetu Khan, Galdan divided his troops into two routes, one led by his generals to fight directly along the Urza River, and the other led by himself to conquer the Khalkhataiji in the upper reaches of the Onen River, planning to wait for the supplies obtained from these Taiji before heading south to join the other at the Bayan-Ulan Mountains in the upper reaches of the Urza River

The Battle off the Taejeon Estuary exposed the last card of Zheng's naval division, and the Dutch, who learned that their old enemy had not only a large number of small two-masted sailing ships, but also several medium-tonnage three-masted sailing ships, finally realized the difficulty of their opponents. Although the Dutch had three three-deck gun-deck warships in the Far East and still had an overwhelming advantage in the comparison of the total tonnage of battleships and the tonnage of a single ship, the three-deck gun-deck (ninety-deck) warships were important weapons in this era, and who would dare to go to the battlefield lightly until the moment when the fortunes of the country were decided, plus the Dutch also had colonial trade points scattered in the East Indies that were vulnerable to attacks from the sea, and a considerable sea area on the route from Batavia to Nagasaki was under the absolute control of Ming Zheng. Therefore, the United East India Company, which was under pressure from Zheng Jun's retaliation, had to try to make a compromise.

On March 17, the 43rd year of the Yongli Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty and the 29th year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, a Dutch merchant ship sailed into the Taiwan Strait and raised the white flag after being intercepted by the cruising Zheng Jun's brigs

"A, Hongyi promised to maintain neutrality in the war between the domain and the Qing Dynasty, to recognize the existence of the prefectures of the domain in the South and Western Oceans, and promised not to exert any force against the domain and its overseas territories in the future;" The appearance of the Dutch did bring a surprise to Ming Zheng, and what was even more surprising was the scale of the Dutchman's concession. "B, Hongyi agreed to pay the sea tax for entering and leaving China's waters, as well as Nagasaki and Naha in the Ryukyus, after negotiation."

Zheng Kezhang was preparing to plan an offensive against the mainland, so he hit it off with the Dutch's request for peace, but despite this, Zheng Kezhang still asked soberly: "Hongyi must ask for something, let's talk about Hongyi's asking price." ”

"The Lord is like a god, and Hongyi's asking price is quite high." Although Zheng Kezhang did not agree with Hong Lei's complaint, the position of Zuo to participate in politics has become vacant, and everyone who has the opportunity to go further is eager to try, and Lin Weirong is naturally no exception. "The Hongyi demand that the vassal no longer establish governorates in Borneo, Sumatra, Java, and the Maluku Islands;"

"Is this about dividing each other's spheres of influence?" Zheng Kezhang sneered when he heard this. "Hongyi is very calculating, and he wants to use this to tie up the hands and feet of this domain, but unfortunately Hongyi doesn't know that this domain has no strength to go south now." Speaking of this, Zheng Kezang's face sank. "Let's promise first, as for the future, when the strength of this domain increases, it is not impossible to break the promise."

Hearing that Zheng Kezhang was about to break the agreement before it was signed, he would definitely advise if he was replaced by Mr. Daoxue, but Lin Weirong was now bent on climbing up, how could he dare to disobey Zheng Kezang's thoughts, so he just responded and continued: "Second, Hongyi asked the governors of the domain not to allow the entry of Yingguili, France and other Taixi countries. ”

This is to unanimously prevent the influence of other European countries in this region, but the Dutch have exhausted their calculations, but they may not be able to do better than the Portuguese back then, so Zheng Kezhang didn't even have the heart to mock, but just bowed his head slightly to show his agreement.

"Third, Hongyi also wants to set up a merchant house in Penghu and trade with this domain;" Lin Weirong continued. "Fourth, Hongyi demanded the ransom of all the ships captured by the clan."

"In Penghu, trade can be exchanged, as long as the two sides reach a peace agreement, Hongyi will pay the extraction (tariff) according to the regulations, which is not a problem." Zheng Kezhang intuitively felt that he had missed something, thought about it and added. "By the way, I also want to ask Hongyi to agree to this domain and buy. As for redeeming the ship, people can let them redeem it as long as they live, as for the ship. "The [Dongfang] is now Zheng Jun's [Huo Yanyao], and the newly captured [Crijnsen] will also be regunated after the renovation to enrich the Zheng Jun's Zhenguo fleet, so it is impossible for Zheng Kezhang to return it, but it is naturally necessary to explain it to the Dutch." After killing someone and setting fire, he just paid a loss, didn't he want to even take back the murder weapon with him, is it possible?"

While looking at the not busy port of Jewupo, Ying Tainong, who was holding a wine and tasting it for a long time, heard the sound of the private room door opening, looked back, and sure enough, it was Yu Wuhong (recommended by book friend Manson 2003) The round face, Ying Tainong, who wanted to laugh when he saw this round face, pointed to the chair in front of him and motioned for the other party to sit down, and waited for Yu Wuhong to sit on the seat with half of his buttocks, he asked: "Shopkeeper Zhang, is there still news of the North Captives sent on time in the Korean royal court?" ”

"Back to the words of the lord," Yu Wuhong, who is known as the shopkeeper Zhang, was ordered to establish a contact point here after Zheng Kezhang married the Korean princess, and the most information that the Ming and Zheng sides have obtained from the Qing court in the past two years has been circulated here, and it is absolutely unthinkable to come to the Qing court. "The North Koreans are still relatively conservative, but"

"It's just that the Korean royal court is a little insatiable, and not long ago, he asked the lower officials for a benefit of 5,000 taels, saying that it was used to deal with the Qing court," Yu Wuhong complained. "But in fact, except for a small part of the news from North Korea sent back by the North Korean envoys in Beijing, the rest was taken from the Qing court's Tang copy and Di Bao."

"You still have to give the money that should be given." It's not that Ying Tainong suddenly became generous, but Zheng Kezang's repeated experiments with artificial seed beads finally succeeded after five years, and the first batch of 500 thumb-sized sea beads earned Zheng Kezhang back a full 500,000 taels. "This is a hundred sea pearls, you take them to deal with the North Koreans first." Yu Wuhong opened the sachet and poured a few grains on the table, and a few pearls the size of a tail finger poured out, but when he picked it up carefully, there were more or less flaws on each grain, although it did not affect the overall quality, but it finally lowered the price of the beads. "Remember to make it clear to the North Koreans that the money is for them, but the news from the north must be delivered in time, and in addition, there is a notification ship waiting for them every day on the open sea."

Yu Wuhong was excited: "My lord, but what's wrong?" ”

Yu Wuhong thought about the information he had handled recently, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, is it related to Galdan?" Could it be that the Lord is preparing to take advantage of the opportunity of the Qing army to go west to deal with Galdan to go on land and counterattack? ”

Ying Tainong glared at Yu Wuhong's ridiculous round face viciously: "You are also an old man in the department, don't you understand the rules, should you speculate at will?" ”

"My lord, it's not a random speculation by the lower officials." Yu Wuhong was so frightened that he hurriedly explained. "The lower officials heard that the Korean military attache who sent the news was intentionally or unintentionally inquiring about Seogwipo, and privately thought that the Koreans had discovered the actions of the main domain."

"North Koreans let them guess if they want to, and if they ask you anything, you don't know anything." Having said that, Ying Tainong was also beating a drum in his heart, and now that dozens of twin sailboats had poured into Seogwipo, this huge assembly of sailors that could wipe out the sailors of the three provinces did give the Koreans a reason to worry. "In a word, it is possible before the war starts"

"My lord, this is the Scorpion Pickaxe." At the same time that Ying Tainong was inspecting Jiwupu, Chu Jin also arrived at the front line of Miaodao. "The one slightly north is the Morning Glory Society (note: Xiaoqin Island), and the one to the north is Wuhushu (note: the Qing Dynasty was specifically divided into South Chenghuang Island and North Chenghuang Island)."

"I'm afraid this is the northernmost point of Temple Island, right?" Chu Jin carefully observed these deserted islands through the clairvoyant mirror. "Are there many ships passing by here?"

"Your Excellency is right, about twenty miles further north is the old iron mountain of Fort Arthur." Tang Ping, the captain of the [Feiyun] who was leading the water, introduced it to Chu Jin. "As for this waterway, it was an important channel for Shandong to supply Mao Island back then, but unfortunately after the death of Mao Wenlong and Mao Dashuai, this waterway was also abandoned."

"Scrapped?" Chu Jin frowned. "Is no one going anymore?"

"The old iron mountain waterway is deep and the waves are fast, and the passage is very inconvenient, even if there are people fishing by boat, it is only to the waterway we are traveling now." Tang Ping had already cruised here many times, and during this time he had not encountered a ship from Shandong or Liaodong, so he was full of confidence. "In addition, during the reign of Aobai, the five provinces moved to the sea, so the only fishermen are now half gone, so our camp on Turtle Island (note: Dangji Island) is very safe."

"Don't be careless." Chu Jin reminded. "This time the main strategy can be described as jumping behind enemy lines, the Northern Fleet wants to sing a big show, for this reason the Fubo fleet has transferred four teams over, in case the song is smashed, we can't raise our heads in front of Gong Tian." In fact, it's not just that he can't raise his head, in case Zheng Kezang's big thing is ruined, not to mention Chu Jin, even Lin Sheng can't eat and walk around. "It's better to be cautious and cautious."

Tang Ping also knew the severity, so he said with interest: "Since the adults are still worried, then the officials will work harder, and let the Qingyu tablets not go to the sea in the past six months." ”

"It doesn't have to be like this," Chu Jin laughed. "Let's put it at sea and fight again, maybe we can let the brothers share some profits."

"I'm afraid that if I get the money, I will be lost in the hole of those North Korean girls in Seogwipo."

Chu Jin put down the clairvoyant mirror and laughed: "You say this, be careful that An Long is in a hurry with you."
