On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Anping City was noisy with gongs and drums, colorful flags were displayed, and the people came to the door of the Governor's Mansion in groups to greet the New Year, put all kinds of fruits and pastries at the door, kowtow and go, Liu Ziguang was surrounded by the generals, and frequently bowed to the people, everyone smiled and was full of joy, and it seemed that they didn't notice that there was no one from the Zheng family around them.

Zheng Sen's camp was still surrounded by the Ming army, and it was not until noon that Zheng Sen finally succeeded in subduing his father's subordinates, and all his subordinates followed Zheng Sen to surrender to Ming sincerely, but a few die-hard uncles went to sea with hardcore henchmen to be pirates, Zheng Sen did not stop them, but sent them a well-equipped clipper.

In the governor's mansion, Liu Ziguang comforted Zheng Sen with kind words, commended him for his righteous act of killing his relatives, and promised to ask the court for credit and give Zheng Sen the reward he deserved, as for the Zheng family brother who absconded at sea, Liu Ziguang didn't care, just said casually: "Let them go." According to Zheng Sen, Zheng Zhilong has been planning to rebel again, he wants to first use Liu Ziguang's power to repel the Spaniards, and then on Chinese New Year's Eve, it is suddenly difficult to kill Liu Ziguang and the imperial generals, and then integrate the Southern Expedition fleet and establish himself as the king in Anping, the Ming Dynasty lost this fleet that was hard to put together, and there will be no strength to fight Taiwan for several years, and he, Zheng Zhilong, after having a strong fleet and the sky army, is like a tiger with wings, and lays down Fujian surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea on one side, and then slowly Tuzhi can not unify the world and can also dominate one side, if this plan is really successful, then the Ming Dynasty will be even worse, losing Liu Ziguang, this fierce general will collapse sooner or later under the attack of enemies on three sidesWhen the warlords were fighting, the people were not able to make a living, and the rich Central Plains was reduced to a battlefield where no grass was born, thinking of this, Zheng Sen could no longer think about it, he would never tolerate anyone dragging the whole nation into the abyss of war for his own selfishness, even if this person was his own father.

After Zheng Sen left, Wen Getao came over and said, "Do you want to send a boat to ...... Zheng Zhihu and them?" he said and stretched out his hand to make a neck cutting motion.

"No, Zheng Sen is a measured person, I believe in him." Liu Ziguang pondered for a moment and said.

"I told the Great Marshal, the envoys of England and the Netherlands came to pay their respects, saying that they were here to pay New Year's greetings." A guard came in and said.

"Hey, they're full of politeness, and they're coming to pay their respects, so I'll have some loose silver for later, so I don't have to let them in." Liu Ziguang smiled, it seems that these two naval powers have received the news of Spain's defeat, and they must not have any good intentions to come here this time by paying New Year's greetings.

Sure enough, the two envoys walked in proudly, just saluted the high Liu Dashuai slightly, and then presented a heavy gift, and began to get to the point.

"Taiwan has been a terra nullius land since ancient times, and whoever arrives first gets it, this is an eternal truth, and the Spaniards forcibly occupied Nikolai. The city of Anping was then recaptured by the Ming Dynasty, the mother country of the first official, for which the Netherlands and England congratulated the Ming Dynasty on the position of dealing with the Spaniards, and we and the Ming Dynasty stood on the same line, and this time we came to visit in addition to New Year's greetings, but also hoped to reach an agreement with the respected Liu Dashuai to recognize the legal status of our two countries on the island of Taiwan. ”

"Presumptuous." Liu Ziguang was furious, it turned out that these guys were robbed while the fire was robbed, and the Spaniards were taken away by Lao Tzu, you didn't have the strength to pay a penny, and you still want to come to get a piece of the pie, is Taiwan a public toilet?

Whoever comes early will be able to occupy a squatting pit, and it is inevitable to think about things too simply.

"You two listen, Taiwan Island, including all the surrounding islands, is the sacred territory of the Celestial Empire, and no outsiders are allowed to garrison the army, you can do business and stay in overseas Chinese, but you must obey the management of the local Ming officials, pay taxes according to the regulations, kill people, pay off debts, and pay back debts, do you understand?"

"Your Excellency, you obviously misunderstand what we mean, we have no intention of encroaching on your territory, on the contrary, we all recognize Taiwan as the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and are willing to contribute to the defense of the territorial integrity of the Ming Dynasty, what we want is only one or two small ports and a castle of the land, Your Excellency the well-informed marshal must know that navigation is a hard thing, the sailors who have wandered thousands of miles on the sea look forward to the mood of the 6 places and the pious believers look forward to the manifestation of Christ as urgently, our two countries are great seafaring powers, and it is too important for us to have a port in Taiwan to add coal and water to replenish fresh food, and such a practice is not in the Celestial EmpireThere is no precedent for Hong Kong Island in Guangdong Province, and now there is a port leased to the English, and nearby Macau is leased by the Spaniards, of course, we will not lease your country's port and land rent for nothing, although you ask, we will never spare our money. "Oh, they're talking about the concession, these guys are quite smart, they not only take care of the face of the Ming Dynasty, but also protect their own interests, anyway, there is a precedent for Hong Kong and Macao, and it is not a problem to open two more concessions in Taiwan, anyway, now Lukang and Tamsui Port are still wild places, let the Xiyi people pay two money, build a small fort, shelter from the wind and rain, build a wharf for ships to rest and replenish, if this proposal is really reported to the imperial court, presumably those bigwigs who advocate the coming of all countries to the dynasty will not agree.

However, Liu Ziguang didn't think so, and the word concession made him feel very uncomfortable, and if he connived at them to arbitrarily exhibit without supervision, it was very likely that they would raise tigers and form two huge military fortresses entrenched in Taiwan, and it would be a great deal of trouble to uproot them when the time came.

"This is a big matter, and it needs to be reported to the cabinet for discussion, and the marshal can't be the master, but the marshal can promise you, before the will of the imperial court is issued, your life safety in Taiwan can still be guaranteed, Lukang and Tamsui Port, although you use it, but the sovereignty is our Ming marshal, and the sailor will go to take over in the near future, right?"

"Disrespectful Marshal, these two ports are the sovereignty of our construction, and they should belong to us, even if they are handed over to your country in the future, it should be after the expiration of the lease." The two envoys heard that Liu Ziguang was going to send troops to take over the port, and they panicked when they came this time, mainly to find out the truth and truth, if they could reach an agreement, it was best to drag the Ming army in case they couldn't, not to go north, to give them time to reorganize their armies and fight, the Ming army defeated the Spaniards in such a short time, the military strength should not be underestimated, and the enemy should not be underestimated.

If the Ming army went north to take over the port, there would inevitably be a conflict, and their trip would be in vain.

"Since it is my Ming territory, of course it is necessary to garrison the army, what kind of territory is it if the army is not garrisoned, this marshal is now informing you, not discussing with you, if you want to make peace and war, you will fight, what are you doing with so many words?" Liu Ziguang furrowed his brows and scolded.

"Your Excellency Marshal, we don't want to be your enemy, but..."Before the envoy's words were finished, Liu Ziguang picked up the tea bowl, and the guards next to him puffed up his breath and shouted: "Send off the guest~~" The two messengers spread their hands helplessly, bowed and were about to leave, but they just turned around, but they were stopped by Liu Ziguang, and they thought that things had taken a turn for the better, who knew that Liu Ziguang just asked people to take twenty silver coins to them and say what it was

"New Year's money." The Celestial Empire naturally wants to do enough face, and the barbarians come to pay New Year's greetings, and a little money still has to be given.

Liu Ziguang didn't bother to think about the concession matter, now that the army has an absolute advantage, there is no need to negotiate with foreigners, and the army can just drive over, the two scouts have been sent out, and the training of new recruits has also begun, and it will not take long to recover the glorious task of recovering the entire territory of Taiwan, Liu Ziguang is ready to hand over to his subordinates to do, Zheng Sen is the best candidate, this person is loyal and commendable, and there is a good sailor, now let him increase some military achievements, and ask the court to ask him for one laterThe official position of Taiwan's general army is much more justified.

The preparations for war were carried out in an orderly manner, and the good news of victory had reached Fujian, and then it was sent to Shanghai by water, and then from Shanghai to the capital, requesting the establishment of a separate Taiwan province, and there were also excerpts to the generals asking for merit, documents stating Zheng Chenggong's righteous extermination of his relatives, and personal letters transferred to the iron works.

I believe that it will not be long before the approval of the imperial court will come back. The Ming army's combat experience in Anping City had already been telegraphed to Xin Bian Jing by the Song Dynasty, and he learned that the Ming Dynasty army had powerful weapons, and actually defeated the Spanish army in one day and one night.

The method of recovering the country has a lot of kinds, the army is a kind of army without a fight, and the army is another kind of soldier who surrenders without a fight, and for a long time, the Song Dynasty court has implemented the latter kind, a large number of Song people have settled in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Taiwan, Nanjing, a large number of high-quality and inexpensive Song Dynasty industrial products are dumped into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the straw hats, rubber rain boots, fruits and tobacco of the Song Dynasty style are full of all corners of the Ming Dynasty, every Ming Dynasty person knows that there is a Song Dynasty overseas, the people of that country are the descendants of the Song Dynasty in the past, the people of that country and the people of the Ming Dynasty are the same kind of people, the same face is the same Yan Huang and the same heart, the same skin color is the same Han blood, if one day the Tartars in the north come to the Song Dynasty army to climb 6, it will not cause the MingHuman disgust.

The Song Dynasty has a strong military, they can control the sea route from India to the Japanese Kingdom, but they do not dominate, but strive to maintain the balance of the region, and the people of all countries are harmonious and wealthy, and only from time to time secretly help the weak, England, the Netherlands, The war between the three Spanish countries and the battle between them and the Zheng family were all under the control of the Song people, so it can be said that whoever wants to win can win, but they don't completely and completely support a certain side, so they let them consume the three countries like this, thousands of miles away from the mainland, and it takes seven or eight months to come by ship, so the warships, weapons, and baggage urgently needed are all purchased from Xin Bian Jing, and the Song people have made a lot of silver in the past few years.

Originally, everything was in the plan, just waiting for the social contradictions in the Ming Dynasty to further intensify the people's rise up against the rule of the eunuch party, and the Song Dynasty could send troops to help suppress and seize the world by the way, but things suddenly changed, the Ming Dynasty emperor actually regained power with the help of a group of courtiers, and reused the ministers, and for a while it seemed that the plan to restore the country had fallen into a stalemate, and the radical Wen Jun united with the young Zhuang faction of the army to move the Shanghai Incident, just to make the matter bigger, and officially start the war, but the opinions in the Song Dynasty were not unanimous, thinking that now was not a good time to start a war, so he did not support Wen Jun, but sent Zhao Jing to stop his actions。

Lu Song was a little dissatisfied with the governing strategy of Pingzhang Military and State Affairs 6 Bian Sheng, thinking that he was too weak, and 3,000 soldiers were killed, and Jiangyin Fortress also had his responsibility, but the political system of Lu Song had not yet evolved to the point that Pingzhang Military and State Affairs would take the blame and resign during the ruling period, so the old prime minister in his fifties (Pingzhang Military and State Affairs was equivalent to the prime minister, but with greater power) still sat firmly in his Privy Council.

After the Shanghai Incident and the Battle of Jiangyin, the Pedestrian Division of the Song State began to pay attention to Liu Ziguang's movements, and collected a large amount of information about him and his troops, his temperament, the people close to him, his tactics and tactics, the weapons and equipment used by his troops, the number of people, and the commanders of each battalion were all within the scope of the Pedestrian Division's reconnaissance, and even the Nanchang Radio Station and the telegrams between Shanghai and Liguo were also eavesdropped.

The portrait of the airship and the empty shell of the bazooka, one long and one short, have been sent to the Ordnance Research Institute located on the outskirts of Xinbian Jing, the reason why the Red Shirt Regiment is rampant in the world, in addition to the brave physique and perseverance, is these magical weapons, on the research brigade, the strength of the Song State should not be underestimated, after some analysis and purification, reverse mapping, the bazooka and the firecracker have been imitated, the black powder has also been prepared, the hot air balloon has begun to equip the reconnaissance team of the 6th Navy, and the gas used in the airship is still being studied.

In the recent war in the Taiwan Strait, the Song Navy did not send enough personnel to monitor, because they did not expect the Spaniards to be defeated so quickly, so most of the intelligence was provided by local expatriates, and the combat effectiveness of the Ming army's sailors was improved so quickly, which made the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty extremely uneasy, if the sea power could not be controlled, then how could there be any reinstatement?

After all kinds of analysis and research, the Privy Council finally reached a plan to invite the southeastern governor of the Ming Dynasty to visit Xinbian Jing, and by the way, even if it could not be rebelled, it would create a small gap between them and the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers.

The invitation was sent to Anping City by a fast boat on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and the messenger presented the invitation letter covered with a jade seal, and then conveyed the message of His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Kingdom, hoping that when Inspector Liu visited, he would bring a sailor Baihu who was also surnamed Liu, who was the one who captured the Black Pearl.
