Chapter 1393 - Catch the ducks on the shelves

A few days later, the will of the imperial court was sent to Fuzhou and placed in the hands of Sun Chuanting.

In the past two or three years, Sun Chuanting has worked hard in several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and he thinks that the former first assistant is in charge of Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi, and the officials below are naturally cautious, and no one dares to do anything wrong, and the economy of the four provinces of Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Jiangxi has really undergone a lot of changes.

The only thing that gave Sun Chuanting a headache was the matter of Yizhou, originally the population of Yizhou was not much, after all, it was lonely overseas, who had nothing to do to go to a deserted place to beg for a living? However, these years are not the same, ten years ago, Zheng Zhilong began to migrate to Yizhou, Zheng Zhilong sent a total of more than 100,000 people to Yizhou in Japan, after Zheng Zhilong's death, the evidence in Jiangnan is unstable, and there are also many fishermen from Fujian and Zhejiang who have been displaced to Yizhou, and now in Yizhou, the indigenous people plus the Han people who have migrated have exceeded 500,000 people, and the number of Han people has even far exceeded the local indigenous people.

I originally thought that when I arrived in Yizhou, I could live a life without fighting with the world, but I didn't expect that the Dutch came to the top, and a large number of Dutch colonists began to oppress the local residents by force, and people continued to die tragically in the hands of the Dutch.

If it weren't for the former, the four Western countries advanced and retreated together, demonstrating towards the Ming Dynasty, the relationship between the four countries had not yet broken down, and Sun Chuanting was even ready to do it a long time ago, but now the situation in the South Seas is unclear, and Sun Chuanting did not dare to make rash moves.

finally looked forward to the emperor's will, Sun Chuanting had the confidence to ascend, and with an order, Shu Xinchen, Zheng Haotian and Zheng Cai were all recruited into the Governor's Palace.

Zheng Haotian and Zheng Cai have nothing, inspecting Yizhou, it is a very simple thing, although the strength of the Second Fleet is still not as good as the First Fleet, but it is not weak, at least, as long as it does not run into the main fleet of the East India Company, there is no force that can help the Second Fleet, as for the Dutch on Yizhou Island, it is not worth mentioning at all, if you really want to subdue Yizhou, you don't need other military towns to do it, the Second Fleet and the amphibious battalion of the Tianxiong Army transferred over are enough to clean them up.

As for the incorporation of the remnants of the Zheng family overseas, there are Zheng Chenggong's letters, and Zheng Cai, Zheng Zhilong's original henchman, it doesn't take much effort, the emperor has already promised that as long as he is willing to surrender, he will be added to the rank of knight, these people are now rootless trees, and they wish to be co-opted by the imperial court again.

Only Shu Xinchen frowned tightly, and said with a wry smile: "Master Inspector, if this, this is said to recover Taiwan, the lower officials will never frown, I am willing to take the lead, but this envoy to Yizhou and negotiate with the Dutch, where can I, a big boss, do this?" Personal gains and losses come second, delaying the major events of the court and the emperor, which is not something that my Lao Shu can afford......"

Sun Chuanting smiled and said: "Okay, Xinchen, this envoy really has to be you, we have known the emperor for so long, when did he choose the wrong person?" Since he ordered your general, he will definitely be able to do it! ”

Shu Xinchen grinned and said astringently: "Master Inspector, but, but the lower officials really don't know what else to do, and please teach me ......."

Shu Xinchen is not stupid, his head is not bright, but here is a master who is both civil and military, presumably the master supervisor has something in mind.

Sun Chuanting smiled: "Xinchen, do you remember how you got the bolt to Batavia?" Just draw a scoop according to the gourd, check how to toss the bolt, don't be afraid that things will make a big fuss, the bigger the trouble, the better, if you really can't take a few heads to stand up, in the face of red hair, the more horizontal you are, the more cowardly they are, the Ming Dynasty is not ready to start a war with the four countries now, so as long as you don't really make a big move to start a full-scale war, the emperor will have to toss it, as long as you can get back enough benefits, give you three requirements, the first one is to ensure that the red hair is not to enslave and oppress the natives of Yizhou and the Han people who have migrated, this purpose must be achieved; the second, ruthlessly extorted a sum of money from the red hairs and made them pay money; The third requirement, the demarcation of the area, only the Dutch are allowed to operate in the specified area, especially the Dutch army, it is strictly forbidden to step out of the specified area, otherwise you will bear the consequences! As long as you can achieve these three goals, you're done! ”

Shu Xinchen had a plan in his heart, playing tricks? Of course this will, it's tougher, we haven't served anyone yet! Also, at your own doorstep, on your own territory, what are you afraid of? If you're not convinced, beat them until you're convinced!

"Haotian!"

Sun Chuanting shouted.

Zheng Haotian hurriedly bowed down and said, "Master Inspector, what are your orders?" ”

Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice: "Return to the fleet in a while, transfer five warships to Lord Shu, and transfer two hundred elite amphibious battalions to accompany you to protect Lord Shu's safety; Your responsibility is not light, the Second Fleet is all dispatched, cruising back and forth around the southwest and southeast waters of Yizhou, and when necessary, you can open artillery demonstrations to support Shu Xinchen! ”

"Yes, sir!"

Sun Chuanting looked at Zheng Cai again, and said with a smile: "General Zheng Cai, the emperor and Lord Ming Yan have handed over the important task of recruiting the old department to you, and the matter of the fleet is temporarily handed over to Lord Haotian, your most important task now is to subdue the old department on Yizhou, if possible, you can strengthen the control of the northeast and northwest direction of Yizhou, once the imperial court wants to use troops in Yizhou, you can go directly south and threaten the back of the Dutch!" ”

Zheng Cai said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Lord Inspector, more than three years ago, Xiaguan went to Yizhou to contact them, these people are all old acquaintances of Xiaguan, and the general Bi Tiandiao is still the righteous brother of Xiaguan, recruiting them is effortless!" Xia Guan suggested that he could lead a force to go over and directly take Jilong Town as the center, where he would prepare for the construction of a military port and control the waterway on the east coast of Yizhou......"

Sun Chuanting shook his head and replied: "General Zheng Cai, the time is not yet ripe, if we directly establish a military port in the northeast of Yizhou, it will arouse the suspicion of Western countries, so that they can prepare in advance to deal with it, when the time comes, once the Ming Dynasty and Western countries start a war, it will cause trouble for ourselves, don't rush for a while, just need to master the chicken coop town, don't seek to establish a military port, just build a military camp inland!" ”
