Chapter 330: Recovering Dongfan Island (3) Shelling the East Ocean

Liu Kongzhao was busy collecting and repairing the battleship, while Zheng Zhilong was also busy accepting the surrender of Yu Yi at this time.

Zheng Zhilong, the chief military officer of Fujian and the governor of Taiwan, rode a jujube red horse, wore a colorful sprinkle thread rubbing his head and rubbed his scarlet unicorn uniform, wore a black gauze hat with jade inlaid with jade moire, wrapped a white jade belt around his waist, wore black boots on a white background, and walked towards the lonely Dutch governor under the escort of the officers and soldiers of the Zheng family who were all in armor and held firearms.

Holding the booklet and seal, as well as his own command knife, he stood behind the stage with a bow.

The same was true of the other Dutch colonists behind him, waiting for Zheng Zhilong, an official of the Ming court, to accept his surrender.

Zheng Zhilong accepted the surrender of Yu Yi and read out the holy decree of His Majesty Zhu Youzhen of the Ming Emperor on the spot.

The gist of the decree was to change Dongfan Island to Taiwan, to establish it as the Taiwan Prefecture, to change the city of Relanza to Anping City, and to take Anping City as the government, and the Taiwan Prefecture would be subordinate to the Fujian Political Department in the future, and the prisoners of war of the first class, as well as Dutch warships, equipment, and craftsmen, would all be escorted to Beijing to wait for processing.

At this time, he could only accept such a fate, and all the officers and soldiers of the Zheng Group of the Ming Dynasty tied their hands with hemp ropes, and all of them were dragged to the port, ready to be loaded and transported into Beijing.

Seeing this, the Chinese businessmen and the common people picked up stones and dirt and greeted these Dutch colonists, scolded angrily, and even came over directly to beat them.

The Dutch colonists who used to be powerful and prosperous could only bear the scolding and beatings of Chinese businessmen at this time, and did not dare to complain anymore.

At this point, in April of the twentieth year of Chongzhen, the island of Taiwan, which was occupied by the Dutch colonists, officially returned to the hands of the Ming Dynasty and officially accepted the rule of the Han regime.

Although it can only be controlled by the Zheng group now, it still belongs to the territory of the Ming Dynasty administratively, and it can be understood that it is now the prefect of the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Zhilong began to develop in Taiwan Province very early, and now after regaining the Taiwan Government, he can naturally develop it with ease, and with the construction of Franc Ji and the Dutch and other colonists, it is not difficult for Zheng Zhilong to re-establish the political order and production order of Dongfan Island.

In less than two months, Zheng Zhilong had already drafted a list of all the appointments to officials at all levels in the Taiwan government and submitted them to Beijing for approval by the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor.

At the same time, he began to move a large number of Han Chinese to settle here, and also officially distributed land to his subordinates, and explained that the imperial court exiled prisoners should be the first choice for Taiwan, which was in urgent need of reclamation and other reasons.

Liu Kongzhao has no interest in Zheng Zhilong establishing his own production base in Taiwan, and he also knows that even if His Majesty does not agree with Zheng Zhilong's recovery of Taiwan Province, he can recover Taiwan Province with Zheng Zhilong's strength, so he is not good at saying anything about Zheng Zhilong's occupation of Taiwan Province.

"Sir, this is your 2,000 hectares of fertile land, 1,000 hectares is the gift of gratitude for you to deceive Vanderland the day before yesterday, this thousand hectares was given to you by the lower officials free of charge, I only hope that in the future, the court will talk about my Zheng family, and please say a few more kind words, and please tell Your Majesty that Wechen will definitely guard the southern Xinjiang for the Ming Dynasty, and don't let a pirate enter the inland state capital to wreak havoc, if there is, Wechen will be willing to kill!"

Zheng Zhilong gave the title deed to Liu Kongzhao, and now after he owns the Taiwan Mansion, the most important thing he lacks is land, so he is not stingy at all to give Liu Kongzhao a gift.

Liu Kongzhao is the chief of the Admiralty of the Generalissimo's Mansion, nominally his superior, and also has the title of Earl of Sincerity.

Zheng Zhilong also knew that His Majesty Zhu Youzhen had sent Liu Kongzhao here to monitor himself as a prisoner, and now in order to gain Zhu Youzhen's trust and hope to get the support of the imperial court's military salary and ordnance, he naturally wanted to show favor to Liu Kongzhao.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say", Liu Kongzhao did not refuse, he took the title deed, and he also knew that now was not the time to go against the Zheng family, after all, even His Majesty had not done it against the Zheng family.

No further ado.

Liu Kongzhao took four Dutch-built sail warships, escorted Dutch prisoners of war of the first class, a large number of equipment purchased by Kuiyi during his occupation of Taiwan, and a large number of craftsmen, officially left Taiwan on 15 April, crossed the chicken coop and headed north, preparing to return to Nanjing.

Overall, Liu Kongzhao is still very satisfied with his trip to southern Xinjiang.

Although he re-realized the strength of the Zheng Group and knew how big the gap still existed in the Ming Navy, he was very happy to be able to add four sail warships to the Ming Navy at this moment.

"Chu Huaisheng, we bought this first-class sail battleship from Van der Lane, it seems that we haven't tried the effect yet, Ben Jue is thinking about whether I have to find a chance to release him a few cannons to see the effect, if it is really not good, it is too late to regret it while the full amount has not been paid."

As soon as Liu Kongzhao said this, Chu Huaisheng also agreed: "Sir, you are right, you still have to try a few shots." ”

"Where to put it, you recommend a place".

As soon as Liu Kongzhao said this, Chu Huaisheng also thought about it:

"When I was studying in the Daming Ship Bureau, Your Majesty said, this East and South Oceans and North Ocean are the waters of my Ming Dynasty, we are the navy of the Ming Dynasty, and you are our Navy Commander-in-Chief, and you are not where you want to put it, but there are more fishing boats in this area, so don't disturb the people, and those ministers of the province are looking for trouble with us, according to the students, it is better to simply go to the East Ocean to fire a few cannons, Mr. Zheng talked about the rebellion of Emperor Sejong when he was teaching, and these guys killed many of us, We might as well scare these slaves. ”

"Well, it's a good idea, it seems that your kid didn't study in vain in those days in the Daming Ship Bureau."

Liu Kongzhao nodded and ordered the entire warship formation to turn in the direction of Ryukyu, and as soon as the Ryukyu was crossed, Liu Kongzhao's fleet reached Nagasaki.

The "Stubborn John" first-class sail battleship also officially approached the port of Nagasaki and began to set fire to the port, and soon the entire Nagasaki of Japan was bombarded three times in a row, each time dozens of huge guns were fired in unison, and countless fortresses, ships and houses along the entire Nagasaki coast were destroyed.

The Tokugawa shogunate of Japan was very surprised when they heard the news, and when they thought that there had been Ming warships in Nagato before, they realized that this was the Celestial Empire expressing their anger.

The Tokugawa shogunate did not dare to provoke the Ming Dynasty because of this, and was busy preparing to send envoys to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty to express their goodwill to the Ming Emperor, hoping that the Ming would not vent his anger to Japan again.

Of course, that's all for later.

Liu Kongzhao didn't expect that he had just fired a few shots in Nagasaki, Japan, so that the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate was frightened like this, and after discovering that the "stubborn John" battleship he bought was in good condition, he had already left.

After Liu Kongzhao brought back the "Stubborn John" first-class battleship and appeared in Songjiang Mansion, it also caused the surprise of the entire Songjiang Mansion.

No one thought that there could be such a large warship, not only that, but when Liu Kongzhao brought the battleship to Nanjing, it also directly alarmed Song Yingxing of the Ministry of Industry.
