"Zheng Junmen, we will not discuss how to govern Taiwan, but only how to specifically recover Taiwan's strategy and tactics."

Captain Fang Jiahong unceremoniously interrupted Zheng Zhilong's deviation again.

Zheng Zhilong looked at the more than ten staff officers of the First Army present, all of them were like puppets. No matter what the terroir of southern Fujian is, the red military uniform on his body is always meticulously dressed, which can be described as standing and sitting. On the other hand, the staff on his side are either timid or arrogant, and they are always less calm, and they are indeed timid.

The more uncertain you are, the easier it is to open your mouth.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Zheng Zhilong didn't get angry, where did he look like a dragon in the East China Sea, but like a non-poisonous and harmless cauliflower snake.

"Time is pressing, let's stick to the issue." Fang Jiahong was very uncomfortable with Zheng Zhilong's boasting and pulling things around at every turn, lowered his head to sort out the issues that had been discussed, and moved his tense facial muscles by the way.

Zheng Zhilong looked at the blackboard in the tent, on which he wrote in chalk pen various issues to discuss the march, arranged in order of urgency.

Now the "strength of our army" at the top has been decided, and the land battle is mainly carried by the Second Division of the First Guards Army, and 300 ships are dispatched by the Fujian Navy Division to transport the Guards to the land position.

At the same time, the Fujian naval division also had to mobilize nearly 20,000 sailors and form another fleet to cut off the Dutch sea supply lines and annihilate the gunboat fleet that might deal a blow to the landing force.

After "our military strength", half of the "enemy's potential strength" was discussed.

Among them, the Dutch people are naturally in the first place, and they are the main enemies of the Ming military. However, historically, the Netherlands lacked military strength and lacked the courage to fight to the death, and several battles with the Ming were defeated. On the contrary, the Taiwanese mountain people are more harmful, so they are ranked after the Dutch.

In addition, the enemy's potential is also "water, soil and climate".

Taiwan is located in the tropics. Even during the Xiaoice River period, it was a very hot place, and the Guards, mostly northerners, had never seen such a hot place. Fujian is still familiar with the mainland, and where there are many people, there will be less miasma. However, Taiwan is full of raw land, and it is impossible to prevent miasma sooner or later.

Coupled with the hot climate, viruses and bacteria breed a lot. All of them are diseases that have never been seen in the north.

"How many Han Chinese are there on the island now?" Fang Jiahong asked.

"About 20,000." Zheng Zhilong replied truthfully: "Most of them went to sell deer skins. ”

Fang Jiahong estimated the number: "Are there enough villages to arrange for doctors to live in them, and can they ensure their safety?" ”

"Are you going to send a doctor?" Zheng Zhilong was stunned: "This, I'm afraid it's hard to say." ”

Fang Jiahong turned around the charcoal pen in his hand: "How sure can you survive it?" ”

"If they stay in the village all the time, they will have no problem surviving...... However, if you want to collect medicine in the mountains, I am afraid it will be inconvenient. Zheng Zhilong said.

Fang Jiahong nodded, marked a mark, and ticked next to "water, soil and climate", which can be regarded as the end of the discussion.

Zheng Zhilong said secretly, you plan to send some doctors over to solve the plague? It's also too whimsical.

Fang Jiahong continued to go down, but it was "intelligence gathering".

This was supposed to be the job of Jin Yiwei. It is then filtered and sorted by the Military Intelligence Department and passed on to the combat units. However, now there are some internal problems in Jinyiwei, I heard that there have been intelligence accidents in Zhangjiakou and Liaodong, so Xiao Mo hinted that the Military Intelligence Department would personally handle the intelligence work on the Taiwan side.

For the eyebrows and mustaches, the Military Intelligence Department has a unique advantage: the combat troops will give them the information they need, so that they can be targeted.

Zheng Zhilong and his staff members could hardly interject at this link, just looking at the staff officers of the Guards, from the number of people, artillery, ships, gunpowder, etc., all the way to drinking water and military uniforms...... There are no less than 100 of them. It all boils down to one sentence: everything!

"Go on," Fang Jiahong said. "Taboo."

This is the fundamental point of divergence between the Chinese civilization and the Taixi civilization. Because the Chinese civilization was an alliance between different tribes at the earliest, it learned to respect it as early as the primitive era. Confucius's so-called "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" can also be understood as "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".

Everywhere they go, travelers ask about local customs and taboos. Every time they enter a home, guests have to ask about family secrets. This attitude of respect for people has been seared in the bone marrow. Even the military, which believed in the supremacy of guns and cannons, would not take the liberty of trampling on the beliefs and customs of the barbarians in extreme ways—just as the Ming Dynasty had never asked the Jurchens to grow their hair and change their clothes.

"What are the taboos of Taiwanese natives? How do you avoid engaging them before they get out of hand? Fang Jiahong looked at Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong opened his mouth, and the Qingke friends around him scratched their ears and cheeks, and only after a long time did they say some rumors such as headhunting.

Fang Jiahong had to write the words "to be examined" after this item. Moving on to the next item, it is about the astronomical and hydrological situation of the island of Taiwan, so as to arrange the time for the invasion.

……

Zhang Hongren rarely appeared by Zhu Cihong's side after the national change, especially later Zhu Cihong was obviously more inclined to the Quanzhen Dao, and he didn't trust Zhengyi's Fu Gong Dan Fa, and he didn't have the patience to observe the rituals of the law, so he knew the Tao from top to bottom, and Zhang Hongren fell out of favor.

However, when he said that he would stay with the crown prince as an entourage, Zhang Hongren could not easily return to Longhu Mountain. His father, Zhang Yingjing, Zhang Tianshi, went back when the country changed, but he was also worried all day long, and he was not slightly relieved until the crown prince recovered Shenjing.

This time, Zhang Hongren was directly summoned, not because the crown prince had doctrinal and legal issues to consult, but simply put forward a request: Longhu Mountain should organize a group of Taoist priests to cross the sea to Taiwan first and preach and preach.

Quanzhen is more suitable for spreading among intellectuals, and people with a certain degree of humanistic literacy are required to accept its teachings. Moreover, Wang Chongyang did not really establish the Order's organization when he was alive, and after his death, the seven sons of Quanzhen each set up their own faction, so that the scale of the Quanzhen Order's order has been difficult to expand, and it is not suitable for unified transfer.

In contrast, Shoichi has its own strengths in both areas, especially the well-organized Order, which can be called a small society, with a clear hierarchy, like an arm's finger.

And because it contains many folk beliefs, Zhengyi's immortal system is more open and more inclusive. What's more, the foolish people are always easily attracted by mysterious things, and instead of sending Quanzhen Taoist priests to preach the way of tranquility in the past, it is better to let Zhengyi send some divine sticks to fool the local people.

Moreover, it is not only the local people in Taiwan who need to be "educated", but the Han people in Taiwan today are all Fujian people, good ghosts and gods, worship sacrifices, and sending more Taoist priests in the past can just meet their psychological needs and stand more closely on the side of the imperial court.

After Zhang Hongren got the task, he did not dare to delay, and immediately ordered someone to send him back to Jiangxi.

After Zhang Yingjing got the news, he couldn't wait to send the eight generals of the Heavenly Master to compete for credit, so as not to be replaced by Quan Zhen. However, when it comes to going to the barren land, all the Gao Zhen are a little worried.

Is there a fairy shroud in that kind of place? Can you mess around?

"Taishang still has a trip out of the customs and Hu, and we are waiting for the right time, how can we be as afraid of difficulties as a tiger? If no one wants to go, the poor are willing to go. ”

Li Zhenxu recommended himself in the Heavenly Master's Mansion that day, and sure enough, he was recommended by Zhang Tianshi. He only took a dozen disciples with him, and he went to Fuzhou almost without anything.

Although Zhu Cihong was dissatisfied with the Heavenly Master's Mansion being so perfunctory, he was quite satisfied when he saw that Li Zhenxu also had the posture of a fairy wind and a bone, and his demeanor was graceful. Although his disciple was only twenty or thirty years old, he behaved politely and looked indifferent. When asked about the cultivation again, Li Zhenxu did not show off the mystery, but said that he paid attention to all the scriptures and confessions, but what he was really good at was medical skills and Liuren.

"Sir, since he is good at divination, dare to ask if this trip is safe?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"Not to mention Anran," Li Zhen said with a false smile, "The poor road is here, it is precisely to glorify the sect and establish a human heaven again!" ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "If necessary, just send someone back to report the news." Fujian here wants money and things, and will never treat you harshly. ”

Li Zhenxu bowed and floated away with his apprentices.

Under Zheng Zhilong's arrangement, the group will land directly at the pier controlled by Hermes-Epitek in Taiwan, and then enter the Hermes-Epitek village to settle down. They prepared various idols of gods in Fujian, especially Mazu, which is especially believed in by the coastal Min people, and it is believed that it will be welcomed by the local Han people.

……

Zheng Zhilong often interacted with the Dutch people, and the Dutch also needed Han Chinese as a labor force to develop Taiwan. Some Western scholars believe that Taiwan, and even Southeast Asia, belong to the co-colonization of the West and the Ming Dynasty. It's just that Confucianism and later generations of thought are unwilling to wear a "colonial" hat.

For the resumption of Taiwan this time, Zheng Zhilong specially recalled his old subordinate, He Bin, who followed him to run Longgang.

He Bin followed Zheng Zhilong to the sea during the Apocalypse, traveling between Japan and Taiwan. In the first year of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong accepted Zhao'an and served as a guerrilla in Fujian, and He Bin went to Fujian with several old friends to join Zheng Zhilong. Unexpectedly, he was attacked by Li Kuiqi on the way, and finally fled back to Taiwan with a brother named Li Ying.

After returning to Taiwan, He Bin converted to Protestantism, and with the Dutch he learned from Zheng Zhilong, he served as the Dutch minister in Chichicheng.

Although this work seems to have no power, it is better because it is well-informed and has a thorough understanding of the situation in Taiwan.

The Dutch wanted to rule Taiwan, and all the policies were translated by He Bin. The Han and Shengfan had to communicate with the Dutch, and they also had to rely on him to spread the word.

Zheng Zhilong recruited He Bin back, which really helped the First Guards Army a lot, and soon sorted out a complete set of outlines of Taiwan's enemy situation.

In order to protect He Bin's identity as a general, Zheng Zhilong also wrote an official letter to the Dutch governor of Taiwan, stating that the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty was raising troops in Fujian and intended to trade with the Dutch East India Company, and hoped to send an envoy to negotiate.

The current director of the Taiwan Commercial Pavilion, Pete. Overtwater, P.A., sent a low-ranking East India Company clerk to Fuzhou, and He Bin was his collaborator. (To be continued......)
