Chapter 362: Overlord of Southeast, North and South, Zheng Zhilong

Another day passed, and the shadows of the sails were faintly visible at the end of the sea.

Barbossa sent a message and personally boarded the Jin Sailing Ship to report: "My lord, in front of me is the navy of Taiwan's Tamsui Port, which is actually a pirate, and it used to be under my command, they should not know the news that I defected to the Great Song Dynasty, I can gather them all over and be willing to submit to me...... Adults can do what they say. ”

As a big sailor, Wang Qiang certainly knows that Taiwan's freshwater is an estuary called the Tamsui River. The topography of this inland river estuary once again proves that this is a necessary place to build a town on the seaside.

Wang Qiang said hesitantly: "Brother, this can be regarded as recovering Taiwan, right?" can be regarded as a national hero who can barely look at Zheng Chenggong's back, right? ”

Barbossa immediately said: "Of course! Even if I hadn't surrendered, I would have succeeded. ”

Su Su smiled: "Brother Qiang, then how many deeds do you know about Zheng Chenggong?" ”

Wang Qiang coughed dryly: "This ...... The textbook is a sentence about Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Taiwan, is he a descendant of Zheng He? ”

The crowd laughed!

Barbossa coughed dryly: "It is the son of the great pirate Zheng Zhilong, in the pirate world, Zheng Zhilong's ranking is very high, he is the real overlord of Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, and defeated the powerful Dutch East India Company." Of course, this is a few hundred years later. ”

Su Su sighed with emotion: "Yes, as I said earlier, with the collapse of Zheng He's fleet, the maritime power of the Ming Dynasty became a blank, and the sea was basically the power of pirates and the increasingly powerful Spaniards and Dutch. Zheng Zhilong is a native of Quanzhou, Fujian, when he was young, he became a wealthy man when he was armed with maritime merchants between Vietnam, Japan and Southeast Asia, and then made a fortune in Japan. ”

Wang Qiang sighed.

Su Su smiled: "Oh fart! Brother Qiang knows the meaning of the word overlord? Zheng Zhilong commanded 3,000 large and small warships, and more than 200,000 legions composed of various Han Chinese, Southeast Asians, blacks, Japanese and Koreans! What is the concept that collecting a toll of 3,000 taels of silver from a shipload of the East India Company has been the only power in the region 'since ancient times'? ”

Wang Qiang was shocked and moved: "3,000 ships!?" And what about the Ming Dynasty? ”

Su Su said with a smile: "The Ming Dynasty couldn't help him at all, so they appeased him and made him a big official." He knocked the Dutch East India Company out of Southeast Asia. Then, when there was a severe drought in Fujian, he emigrated tens of thousands of disaster victims to Taiwan, and was the first person to develop Taiwan on a large scale. ”

Wang Qiang said with emotion: "I only thought that Zheng Chenggong was a national hero, but he still had to fight for his father." ”

Su Su sighed: "Originally, Zheng Zhilong's historical evaluation would have been higher, but after the Qing soldiers entered the customs, he didn't recognize the situation, not only did he not want to resist, but he surrendered to the Qing soldiers to keep Fujian's industry." As a result, Fujian was taken by the Qing soldiers without much resistance, and his family was also ruined and exiled to Ningguta by the Qing soldiers......

Wang Qiang was stunned: "He should still have a lot of industries overseas?" With the tactical advantage of controlling land by sea, plus the righteous advantage of resisting alien races, he eats too much to surrender? ”

Su Su sighed: "So I was confused for a while. In contrast, his son Zheng Chenggong refused to surrender, and was able to keep Taiwan and defeat the Netherlands in the case of the fall of the Ming Dynasty at home and the invasion of the Netherlands outside, this national hero is well-deserved. ”

Everyone sighed.
