In the first month of the twenty-first year of Chongzhen, there was a lot of good news, first of all, there was a spring rain in the northwest after a long drought for several years, although it was not enough to nourish the crops, but it was a very good omen. Not only did it psychologically comfort everyone from the emperor to the common people, but it also really alleviated the resistance to the implementation of the New Deal - the Heavenly and Human Induction is the Confucian Constitution, if God thinks that the New Deal will harm the country, it will not rain at this time.

Although Chongzhen also believed that this was the heavenly approval brought by the prince's imprisonment, Zhu Cihong was not arrogant enough to believe that he could change the natural climate. This insignificant light rain is apparently due to the end of the dormant period of sunspots, and as in the original historical time and space, the Earth is gradually emerging from the effects of the Xiaoice Age, and will create a "prosperous era" in twenty years.

In the same month, the Second Army deployed in Liaodong conquered Haizhou, and the Han people in Haizhou City launched an uprising to welcome the Second Army into the city.

Manchuria was shaken, and Duoduo led his own cattle to move towards Ningguta without even permission. Dolgon finally found Xiao Donglou in the name of Fulin, hoping to make peace, and reminded Xiao Donglou of the truth that "the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks".

Xiao Donglou was very unimpressed by this, but some people in the Second Army did joke about "Fifty Years of Pingliao", because as long as they stayed for one more year, there would be a lot more land.

Feng Bin, who was ordered to come to Liaodong to take charge of Manchuria's work, also thought that it should be delayed, otherwise it would definitely be the Han people of Liaodong who died first.

The more Han Chinese, the less influence the Manchurians few.

"Kill all the Manchurians, why bother?" Xiao Donglou once complained to Feng Bin.

Feng Bin didn't dare to be too arbitrary under the suppression of the military ranks, but just asked with a smile: "Has the general ever heard of Dongxia?" ”

Xiao Donglou hadn't read any books, but when he glanced at Cao Ning, he saw that Cao Ning was also at a loss, thinking that this captain who used chicken feathers as arrows was entertaining himself, and said unhappily: "I haven't heard of it in winter and summer." Spring and autumn are common. ”

Feng Bin said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hopes that Manchuria will become the second Eastern Xia. ”

Xiao Donglou became serious at this time, and when he turned around, he asked Cao Ning to investigate, what does "winter and summer" mean, this is important information related to the strategic intentions of the crown prince.

As a result, Xiao Donglou was very surprised, there were so many talents in the army, and no one knew about it.

Not getting an answer is an answer in itself. Xiao Donglou seemed to understand something.

Winter was difficult for the Manchurians, and even more difficult for the Mongols.

Fortunately, this year, there is a new city of Zhangjiakou, which is like a bonfire lit on the cold grassland, and many herders are attracted by this place, giving up the traditional winter ground and setting up tents on the periphery of Zhangjiakou.

When the first herders earned enough to feed their family of five by building roads, more herders joined the labor force in exchange for rations and forage to keep their families and livestock from freezing and starving.

Moreover, the increasingly powerful cavalry division also made the Mongolian princes outside the Seychelles dare not move lightly to enter the customs and rob.

The New Year's Day of the twenty-first year of Chongzhen. Chongzhen finally waited for the news of the four seas to be leveled, except for Yunguichuan in the southwest, which has not yet been pacified, other places have recovered their vitality, and Zhongxing is just around the corner.

Zhu Cihong sent someone to send a watch back to Beijing before New Year's Day, congratulating the New Year, and also saying that he would return to Beijing as soon as possible after the resumption of Taiwan, and asked his parents not to worry about it.

When Emperor Chongzhen received this letter, the battle for the resumption of Taiwan officially entered the countdown.

……

"On the first day they slew two hundred and sixty of you, and then they and the people of Newport slew more than three thousand of you. Burned down all your houses. The heads of your people are still hanging at the door of the Xingang Society, is this the end of these grudges? The messenger of the Potbelly King waved the short spear in his hand. In a dance-like exaggerated gesture, he foamed at the mouth.

Fang Jiahong dressed as a fan, pretending to be one of the envoy's entourage, and watched the negotiation between the two people nervously. Although he couldn't understand the words, it didn't seem to be easy and pleasant from the situation at the moment.

Sure enough, before the envoy finished his speech, more than a dozen young and vigorous Madou people had already jumped up. Grab your bow and spear and make a "ho-ho" sound from your throat to drive away animals while hunting.

This is the threat of war.

"If you are not willing to be enslaved by the blue-eyed men, be their coolies; I don't want to be bullied by the people of Xingang, and let the people be weeded by them. Stand up and drive them away. Kill! Take their heads and sacrifice them to your ancestors! The messenger was not afraid at all, and in the face of more and more "ho-ho" sounds, he spoke impassionedly.

"They have sorcery." The hoarse voice of an old grandmother suppressed the angry roar of the clansmen.

"The brothers of our ancestors will also do this spell." The messenger said proudly, "They can defeat the blue-eyed people, and this is what our Sun King has seen with his own eyes. He crossed the sea and went to the place where his ancestors once lived. ”

The old grandmother looked at the messenger hesitantly, analyzing the credibility of these words. According to ancient legends, when their ancestors migrated, this was not an island surrounded by the sea, and perhaps there were people who stayed on the other side of the sea and are separated to this day.

"We can only send five hundred fighters." The old grandmother and the other elderly women deliberated in a low voice for a moment, and finally offered her best support.

"All you have to do is help carry your stuff." The messenger triumphantly said, "To show the sincerity of the brotherly clan, they will work with you to destroy your enemies, the people of Newport." ”

No one remembers when the Madou people and the Xingang people made enemies. Maybe it was also an inadvertent grass, where one party robbed each other's prey, and then hunted each other's heads and became enemies.

According to the customs of the aborigines of the island, after each head hunt, when drinking blood wine with the head of the prey, they will say the previous paragraph: We had a grudge before, but after drinking this wine, everyone's grudge disappeared...... Nonsense like that. In fact, no one will believe it, and the retaliation will come faster and faster.

With the technical ability of the Madou people and the Xingang people, even if the two villages hunt each other for a hundred years, they may not be able to break the balance. However, after the arrival of the Dutch, they formed an alliance with the Xingang people, and the Madoushe was suddenly slaughtered. After the Madouxi incident, the Dutch mobilized a large army of 4,500 people, together with 2,000 Xingang people, to almost completely wipe out the Madoushe.

The Madou Society could only surrender and signed the Madou Agreement with the Dutch, which became the blueprint for the Dutch to conquer the island's aborigines.

With the help of the Potbelly State, the Madou people agreed to join the camp of the Han people and the Potbelly Kingdom, on the condition that in the future, the Han people could not interfere in the internal affairs of the Fanren, could not levy a poll tax, could not forcibly levy labor, and could not pull the shelf - unless they were biased towards the Madou Society.

The crown prince generously fulfilled all the conditions proposed by the Madousha.

On February 13, the 21st year of Chongzhen, the sea was high and windy, and more than 50 junk ships appeared off the coast of southern Taiwan. The people of Xiao Yongshe, who had been waiting here for a long time, lit a bonfire in accordance with the agreement with Madou Society, guided the Junk boat to lower the boat, and let the vanguard of the Second Division of the First Army of the Ming Guards on the ship land.

This vanguard force, consisting of 4,000 headquarters and nearly 5,000 men, landed on the island, established a beachhead, and brought ashore heavy firearms, including artillery.

The people had never seen so many people working so quietly, and they doubted that they were really alive.

After a night of intense labor, the advance battalion of the 2nd Division finally assembled as a whole team and went to the territory of Madoushe with the help of Fanmin.

Wang Jiakang, as the deputy commander of the Second Division, was the commander of this advance battalion. After three hours of travel, Wang Jiakang saw the village of the Madou people, which was much larger than he had imagined. There were only about a dozen families in the village he imagined, and it was obvious that he had underestimated the level of civilization of the aborigines.

"Report sir! After the assembly of the thousand headquarters, there should be 4,867 people, but the actual number is 4,867! The staff officer reported loudly.

Wang Jiakang unbuttoned his military uniform, and said calmly as always: "Change your clothes." ”

After the order to change clothes was given, the entire army was quickly transformed into Aboriginal colored shorts. These temporary military uniforms made by the Ming Dynasty made the eyes of the people of the Madou Society straighten. Although everyone was wearing their clothes, so many people were dressed exactly the same before, which they had never seen before.

Even those blue-eyed people don't have such a neat and magnificent military appearance.

……

"Lord O'Fowart!" A clerk rushed into the Taiwan Governor's Office, his whole face swollen red: "Your Excellency, the natives from the north have launched an attack on our trading post!" ”

"Are any of our people hurt?" O'Fowart looked up, unimpressed.

The Dutch in Taiwan rarely went beyond the protection of the castle.

"No, Your Excellency." The clerk breathed heavily, "But Your Excellency, they have sacked the trading post, where there are three thousand deerskins to be shipped. ”

"What are they looting deerskins for?" O'Fowart was even more confused. These deerskins were of limited value to the natives, and they could only exchange them for cloth, bronze utensils, and grain with the Han Chinese. If they attacked a trading post, the Han Chinese would certainly not be willing to pay twice for a batch of goods, so who could they sell to?

Soon, however, another thought rushed into O'Forwart's mind: it was another group of Han Chinese who were inciting the natives to make trouble, just like the Huwei Gang Society incident ten years ago.

The Huwei Shrine incident was caused by the expansion of the deer hunting range by the Dutch, and the Huwei Shrine is a famous gathering place for sika deer.

There were Han people and Fan people in this place, buying deer skins, venison and other commodities. In order to defend against the encroachment of the Dutch on the raw material market, the Han Chinese, together with the aborigines of the Huwei Society, attacked the Dutch and the Han merchants in the Dutch camp, and killed the Dutch employees of the three joint companies.

- This attack is very similar to the situation back then, and it must be a conspiracy of Han profiteers.

A wave of anger gradually rose in O'Forwart's heart: sooner or later, he would cut off the trade routes of these Han people and teach them to learn the rules!

"Inform Captain Baker that we are ready to fight, and we are going to teach the greedy barbarians a lesson!" Ofuat rose to his feet and pulled his military uniform from the back of his chair. (To be continued......)
