Chapter 113: Adultery (Part 2)
After the Dutch forcibly occupied Taiwan, they burned, killed, looted, and adopted a high-pressure policy, which can be described as making a name for themselves.
Now, the Ming Dynasty defeated the Netherlands and recovered Taiwan, which is simply a great blessing for the residents of Taiwan, and it is almost welcome.
No one will object to the Ming Dynasty's entry into Taiwan, not to mention that Taiwan has always been the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Although it is said that the Dutch have done absolutely bad things in Taiwan, they have also built Taipei and Tainan well, especially the military fortresses, if it were not for the advanced weapons of the Shenji Battalion, and with the weapons and combat effectiveness of this era alone, I am afraid that there would not be 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses who would not want to recover Taiwan.
The military fortresses left by these Dutch can be directly used as military bases for the Ming Navy to make a transit point for the Ming Navy to go south in the future.
Chongzhen, in just one day, fought from Taipei to Tainan and completely recovered Taiwan.
Then, under the guidance of Zheng Sen, he entered the Penghu Islands.
At this time, Zheng Zhilong went to Japan.
The Zheng family has no leader, and Zheng Sen is the son of the head of the family. Therefore, the Zheng family simply surrendered.
Together with the wealth of the Zheng family, it was nationalized.
Originally, Chongzhen was still the old rule, and only half of it was charged.
However, Zheng Sen knew that the Zheng family was now guilty, especially Zheng Zhilong's rebellion, which was definitely a thorn in the emperor's heart, and no emperor would be truly generous enough to forgive the thief.
Therefore, what the Zheng family has to do is to dedicate all their wealth, which can be regarded as life money. At the same time, he also said that he had no private money to develop a private army, and he did not have the ability to rebel again. After all, to be a thief, it costs money.
Secondly, Zheng Sen is also ambitious, and he doesn't want to live under his father's afterglow. Now, he has been valued by Chongzhen, it can be said that the future is immeasurable, as long as he works hard, he will definitely be able to win a lot of military exploits, and when the time comes, he will be crowned a marquis and pay homage to the prime minister. When the world mentions the Zheng family, the first thing that comes to mind is Zheng Sen, it is Zheng Sen's Zheng family, which is the scenery that a big husband should have.
And Zheng Zhilong, who was far away in Japan, got the news of the Zheng family's surrender, immediately vomited blood angrily, scolded the rebel three times, and then fainted.
After receiving the Zheng family's pirate forces, Chongzhen's subordinates are no longer a bare-pole warship.
Although it is said that warships in this era, the combat power is unparalleled. However, the navy still needs to have a large fleet so that it can transport more resources and soldiers. Otherwise, if they go to other countries, they will not be able to occupy the territory of the other side with just a few people on the warship.
Think about Zheng He's voyage to the West, hundreds of ships, more than 20,000 soldiers, plus all kinds of accompanying ships, merchant ships, mighty and invincible, that is the style that the real Celestial Empire should have.
After subduing the Zheng family, the strength of the navy grew again, and Chongzhen was also in a happy mood, so he didn't stop at all, and continued to go south. Dozens of warships, following behind the warships, were mighty and powerful.
In the end, Chongzhen disliked the speed of these warships being too slow, so he simply used iron chains to connect the warships one by one and drag them behind the warships.
In this way, the warship acted as a locomotive, carrying dozens of warships and thousands of newly recruited pirates, and came south to Macao.
At this time, Macau was occupied by the Francis, that is, the Portuguese.
Franco, as early as a hundred years ago, came to Daming. preached to the Ming Dynasty and did business, and also brought artillery over there. The redcoat cannon was modified from the Furlong cannon.
Unlike the Dutch, Francois is quite honest, all he wants is to do business, and in addition, he provided a lot of artillery fire for Daming.
Therefore, Da Ming also treats Fran Ji people preferentially. They were allowed to lease Macao for business, but they had to pay a rent of 20,000 taels per year. And the power of customs taxation, judicial power, and administrative power were all in the hands of the Ming Dynasty government. Unfortunately, later in the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Macau completely became a colony.
Although it is said that the current Franz people are still relatively honest, but, judging from the later development, these fans are wild wolves that cannot be fed, and sooner or later they will show their fangs.
Therefore, Chongzhen took precautions and decided to sweep away all these Francois people.
In this way, we can truly control the South China Sea in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and return a Langlang South China Sea.
However, at this time, the relationship between Francois and Daming was quite friendly.
The so-called friends come from afar, although they are far away, they will be punished...... Oh no, it's a hello.
Chongzhen naturally wouldn't do it like he did with the Dutch, without saying a word.
Therefore, Chongzhen just fired a shot and said hello.
The whistling shells slammed into the shore with a loud and earth-shattering sound, leaving a huge crater on the coast.
All of them were awakened, and they hurried to the beach, where they saw a strange-looking iron ship, followed by dozens of warships.
The dragon flag in the sky of the sun and the moon waved in the wind, the hunting sounded, and the powerful momentum pressed the Francois to retreat.
"I, it's the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, tell you to come out!" Chongzhen's voice was like this, mixed with internal force rolling out, shaking the ears of the Francosians, and many people sat on the beach.
How can a human voice be so terrifying?
These Franz people remembered that the emperor of the Ming Kingdom was said to be the incarnation of the dragon, the son of heaven, and the god descended to earth...... It seems to be true......
In this era, not only the people of the Central Plains were ignorant and superstitious, but also foreign countries. In particular, these people who went abroad were basically missionaries in the early days, and they were staunch supporters of deism.
For a while, many Francos knelt directly on the beach, praying for the son of God not to be angry.
Soon, a man in his fifties with a full beard stepped forward and said respectfully in Chinese: "Fausto de Souza Rorea to see the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom!"
"What's the name?" Li Yan and the others all looked at each other, this name is so long.
Afraid that Chongzhen would hear it, the other party hurriedly said: "Your Majesty can call me by the name of Daming, Lao Luo...... Oh no, Rowe!"
He was about to say what the Ming people usually called him, but he immediately remembered that the other party was the supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who dared to call him big in front of the emperor? Isn't that looking for death? It is better to call Xiao Luo.
"Your official words are good!" Chongzhen bowed slightly, and said in Portuguese with a taste of praise.
"Your Majesty can actually speak Portuguese......" Xiao Luo was dumbfounded.
"Of course, I speak not only Portuguese, but also Dutch, Spanish, English, Germanic...... As long as you can speak the language, I can speak it. ”
"Your Majesty is really a god!" Xiao Luo said in shock and compliment.
Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Don't shoot the fart." I'm telling you, the Dutch red-haired ghost was killed by me half a day ago, do you want to follow the back path of the Dutch, or do you want to live?"
Xiao Luo looked at the dozens of warships behind Chongzhen, glanced at the huge and terrifying crater on the beach, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Your Majesty." Those Dutch ghosts forcibly occupied the land of the Ming Dynasty, damn it ten thousand times, but we have always done business with the Ming people, we have never done anything bad, and we have paid 20,000 taels of rent on time every year, and we have never violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Don't talk nonsense, if I hadn't been honest for your sake, now, it's my cannon that is talking to you!" Chongzhen waved his hand again, and the cannon behind him roared, this time, directly into the distance, the warship that was parked by the sea.
Rumble!
In an instant, several warships were directly torn to pieces.
Gollum –
Xiao Luo's throat moved violently, and his eyes almost popped out.
Seeing the crater, although I guessed that Chongzhen's artillery was very powerful, how could there be the shock of this scene in front of me?
He finally understood why the Dutch would be destroyed in just half a day, such a powerful cannon, I am afraid they would not be able to hold out even for half a day.
Therefore, Xiao Luo knelt down very directly: "Your Majesty spares your life, we are just businessmen, make a little money, if the Ming law does not allow us to do business, we will leave!"
They came to Daming just for money, but they didn't want to lose their lives.
"Don't worry!"
Who knows, Chongzhen smiled, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, and said: "You Francois merchants, who have walked from Europe to my Daming, should be very familiar with the coastal and European situations along the way! As long as you obediently cooperate with us and take us into Europe quietly, I guarantee that you will eat and drink spicy food and become a master in Europe!"
Xiao Luo is not stupid, this is to ask them to lead the way for the Ming Navy and enter Europe? With the power of this kind of cannon of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that the fleets of the entire Europe will not be able to stop it, and when the time comes, even the Franc machine will be trampled under the feet of the Ming Dynasty, and he will not become a sinner of the Franc Machine?
By the way, there is a word in Da Ming called what? It seems to be a traitor!
Isn't this to make yourself a traitor?
As an authentic businessman, of course Xiao Luo agreed!
Regardless of the war in Europe, the flood of Franco, as long as Lao Tzu can make money!
"Haha, those who know the times are Junjie! Do a good job, I will definitely make you a master in the fan!" Chongzhen patted him on the shoulder, and the picture of a master appeared in Xiao Luo's mind, and he suddenly fluttered like a fairy.
