In this way, Lin Fei has already controlled a lot of territory, the population under his command is close to the 20 million mark, the cultivated land and resources have been greatly increased, and he has the right to collect commercial taxes in the rest of the Ming Dynasty except for the land south of the Yangtze River, and the benefits that Lin Feijun has obtained this time are not trivial.

Commercial tax is an extremely important tax, in fact, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, commercial activities have been extremely prosperous, even if there is no Jiangnan Province, the richest place in the Ming Dynasty, the right to collect commercial tax, Lin Fei can get the benefits, it is also extraordinary, and in this way, he has the right to garrison troops in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, which is of great benefit to him to unify the entire Ming Dynasty in the future.

Therefore, after going back, Lin Fei immediately began to send tax collectors from all provinces, according to the calculation of no more than 1,000 tax collectors in each province, in fact, a large part of the military strength is also required, but Lin Fei naturally has no objection to this, the more soldiers and horses sent the better.

Of course, you can't just send tax collectors, but also send talents who are proficient in accounts and tax management and business, these people are Lin Fei's important guarantee for ruthlessly looting the wealth of the Ming Dynasty and protecting his wealth.

With these people, Lin Fei can buy resources more quickly and conveniently, and he can also prepare his industrial products to be dumped more quickly, plunder the wealth of the world, and develop and grow himself!

Of course, overseas trade, Lin Fei will naturally not let go, and the trade with the island, North Korea and other Western countries, Lin Fei has also sent personnel to do, of course, the most convenient thing now is the trade with the island, North Korea and other places, and the contact with Western foreigners, is still in the understanding stage, if you want to officially make money from foreigners, you still need a lot of work to do.

However, Lin Fei is not in a hurry for the time being, after all, it is still the era of the sea coachman, and the West is still a long way before it really rises, and he can already dominate the Ming Dynasty with these times, relying on the manpower and material resources of the Ming Dynasty, and the strong strength to dominate the entire Asia, turning the entire South China Sea into his own inland sea, and then he can easily confront Western countries.

In this way, time passes rapidly, and the power in Lin Fei's hands is also constantly accumulating and growing, first of all, he is his own strength, after reaching the order of the army master-level general, he can command 5,000 soldiers, and he can turn all the important personnel under his command into soldiers, and he can quickly cultivate and improve.

Lin Fei's own strength, even in the past three years, has made a decisive breakthrough, reaching the point of the Yuan Shen Realm, although it has only just broken through the Yuan Shen Realm, but it is a breakthrough in all three attributes, the strength is simply incredible, in Daming can be called a real immortal.

After all, the Yuan Shen Realm can already fully incarnate the elements under his control, and he can easily master and control the power of thunder, lightning, earth, and flames, and every move can carry the power of heaven and earth of these three elements!

At this time, Lin Fei's military qi that could be accumulated every day was naturally even more terrifying, reaching tens of thousands!

And the ten generals under his command have also broken through the Void God Realm one after another, although they have only just broken through one element to reach the Void God Realm, they are also extremely remarkable.

Of course, because of his own talent, even if Lin Fei cultivates with all his might, he only has innate mid-stage strength, which is extremely regrettable.

And the rest of the soldiers also have extremely strong strength, at least to the point of the acquired consummation, and there are countless congenital-level soldiers, and these soldiers can also provide a large amount of military energy.

In addition, after three years of development and the extensive promotion of the compulsory military service system, it already has an army of 300,000, and these 300,000 troops, everyone has gone through the right military training, and there are even more military officers at all levels who have passed military command, and they have incomparably strong strength!

And Lin Fei's personal guards, all composed of warriors, now have 50,000 personal guards, known as the strength of the guards, and they are also a force that is enough to make the enemy fearful.

In addition, it has developed a navy with a fleet of more than 1,000 ships and more than 100,000 people, the largest of which has reached the level of second-class warships in Western countries.

These are Lin Fei's accumulation of three years, of course, three years of accumulation, but also to his people and himself to accumulate a lot of wealth, now Shandong, Shanxi provinces in terms of wealth accumulation has long surpassed Jiangnan, Tianjin Wei and the rest of the scattered jurisdiction, is extremely prosperous.

As for Xiaoliuqiu, it also developed under Liu Lingyu's desperate efforts, and became a famous grain base under Lin Fei's command, and provided important support for Lin Fei's occupation of Shandong Han in the second year of Shandong, so that no one in Shandong starved to death, and now Xiaoliuqiu has become a place that Lin Fei values very much.

Moreover, an important base of the Navy is in Xiaoliuqiu, and an important base of the Guards is also in Xiaoliuqiu.

And now Xiaoliuqiu has become the focus of Lin Feijun's attention, that is, because of the inevitable war with the Dutch!

And Lin Fei also issued an order to officially start a war with the Dutch who invaded the Ming Dynasty!

The Dutch are not a small enemy, you know, the seventeenth century, it can be said that the Dutch century.

The Netherlands had previously dominated the continent in Europe, and gained independence from Spain, becoming the leading seafaring and trading power in the 17th century. At this time, in the tenth year of Chongzhen, the number of merchant ships in the Netherlands exceeded the number of merchant ships of all European countries combined, and he was known as the "coachman of the sea".

In 16o2, the Dutch began to concentrate their forces, which eventually led to the creation of the Dutch United East India Company. The company's operating model also served as an organizational model for the overseas expansion of the European powers for more than 200 years. The East India Company established in various European countries later can be said to be a copycat of the Dutch United East India Company.

The United Dutch East India Company was a colonial and military organization first, and then an economic organization. Under the authority of the highest authority in the Netherlands, the East India Company not only had a monopoly on trade in the entire Indian and Pacific Oceans, from the Cape of Good Hope to the Strait of Magellan, but also had the power to establish independent rule, conscript, declare war, conclude peace treaties, and even mint currency in this vast territory.

At this time, in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, except for a few areas, the Dutch United East India Company had actually controlled the sea power in the world's major seas, and was a well-deserved global hegemon at this time.

The Viceroy of the Dutch East India Company was located in Batavia, later known as Jakarta, Indonesia. It can be seen that the Far East, or East and Southeast Asia, is the key area for the Dutch East India Company.

Xiaoliuqiu, which is also the island of Taiwan, was called Formosa by the Dutch at this time, and it can be said that it is a battleground for soldiers in the Far East. The island of Taiwan is not only huge in size and vast in area, but also located in the middle of the Nanyang Islands-Japan trade route. It can be said that whoever controls Taiwan controls the trade routes between the Western countries and Japan. Using Taiwan as a base, it was easy to plunder Western ships bound for Japan from the colonies in Southeast Asia.

This is also one of the key places that the Dutch want to focus on invading! Naturally, the conflict between them and Lin Fei was inevitable!
