The Dutch have always been very confident and have always taken the initiative to attack in Asia.

For example, eight years later in history, 18 warships and 800 soldiers were divided into three ways to swallow the entire Philippines.

They robbed Chinese merchant ships at sea, intercepted Spanish treasure ships in the Americas, landed along the way to incite the indigenous Filipino rebels to rebel, and finally ran to Manila with the indigenous rebels to fight the Spanish in a decisive battle.

The battle lasted eight months, with ...... casualties among the Spanish defenders Dozens.

The Dutch East India Company, its Far East Division, had a direct financial collapse and was unable to expand in the Far East.

I don't know if it's caused by the shareholding system. Listed companies are easily coerced by stock prices, and the Dutch East India Company is eager to expand, probably to show its shareholders its performance.

This attack on Macao is also incomprehensible.

Even if the Netherlands knocks down Macao, can this broken place be occupied for a long time? Not to mention persecuting Zhao Han to trade!

"That, can you ......" Huang Yunxiao wanted to speak and stopped.

After Fei Ruhe was removed from his military post, he could only train in Macao, and he had no command for the time being.

"If you have something to say, just fart, don't spit out." Fei Ruhe didn't have a good airway.

Huang Yunxiao scratched his head: "This Macau's Franco, although he is not a Chinese, has also been temporarily registered. Can...... Can I intermarry? ”

"Whose daughter?" Fei Ruhe asked.

Huang Yunxiao was a little embarrassed: "It's the house that was attacked by the Red Devil, the youngest daughter of Councilor Cavalino." The name is quite nice, it's Eliza (white). ”

"It's okay, if you fight a battle, you will kidnap a Yi Pozi." Fei Ruhe teased.

Huang Yunxiao just smirked.

The commander of the battle was so sharp that the Dutch ran all over the ground. Elizabeth, a little girl, watched the whole battle in her villa, and was suddenly fascinated.

The Portuguese in Macau, who have settled in Macau for decades, inevitably intermarry with the Chinese. As a member of the Macau parliament, Cavalino was also willing to marry the commander of the Macao Coast Guard, so he took the initiative to propose marriage after the war.

After Fei Ruhe was beaten this time, his personality became more and more cautious, and he said: "Your situation is very complicated, I have to write to ask the general town, wait slowly." ”

After Huang Yunxiao left, Abel Tasman was brought over.

Abel Tasman knelt down directly and begged: "Great Chinese general, please spare my life and don't hand me over to the Portuguese." ”

"What did he say?" Fei Ruhe asked.

The interpreter replied, "The Red Devil has a feud with the Franc Machine, and he begged the general not to give himself to the Franc Machine. ”

Fei Ruhe asked, "What do you do?" ”

Abel Tasman said: "General Hui, I am a senior employee of the expedition of the Dutch East India Company, and my dream is to be a great explorer. ”

Fei Ruhe was puzzled: "What is an explorer?" ”

Abel Tasman said: "It's about sailing and looking for islands and continents in uncharted waters. You can also land and explore unknown mountains, forests, and rivers. ”

"This ...... What's the use? What craft do you rely on to eat? Fei Ruhe still couldn't understand.

Abel Tasman replied: "I have renewed a ten-year senior employment contract with the Dutch East India Company. I help companies find continents and islands, and I help companies explore known landmasses. I know how to survey and map, I know astronomy, I know how to navigate, and I can explore minerals. Three years ago, I assisted the Commander of an expedition in discovering a large copper mine in the Spice Islands. ”

"Oh, and you're still prospecting? Seems to be a useful talent. Fei Ruhe finally became interested.

Seeing Fei Ruhe's change of attitude, Abel Tasman hurriedly said: "Yes, General, I am an expert prospector, and I can explore natural treasures for Your Excellency. ”

Fei Ruhe nodded and smiled: "I'll send you to Ji'an." You're in charge of prospecting, and those pirates are in charge of mining. Haha, it complements each other well. ”

Dutch, Japanese, Malay soldiers, this time more than 800 people were captured.

Except for a few people with special skills, all the rest are thrown to mining. What a waste to kill directly, you must make the best use of it.

Zhao Han lacks everything now, that is, there is no shortage of various mines.

Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong, everywhere are mountains, everywhere is mines!

……

Lianzhou, Nangang Platoon.

King Zhao had already sent someone to send a dowry, two big fat pigs, two geese, ten chickens, five hundred catties of grain, and a large jar of good wine.

The bigger dowry is that the whole of Guangdong will not levy autumn grain this year. In the three counties of Lianzhou, Lianshan, and Yangshan, not only will not collect autumn grain this year, but the summer grain field will be halved next year.

When the news came, the people of the Han, Yao and Zhuang ethnic groups were full of lively scenes of singing and dancing.

In fact, it has nothing to do with Zhao Han's marriage.

But Guangzhou is too miserable, three years of drought, three years of military disasters, and the people are seriously short of food. Even if the official is very short of food, Zhao Han also announced that this year's autumn grain will be exempted, leaving the people of the province a chance to breathe.

Pan Qimei was sitting in front of the dresser, and her mother and sister-in-law were wrapping her head and wearing jewelry.

The headscarf is embroidered with the seal of the king of the plate, supplemented by silver leaves, silver drums, silver hairpins, bells, Yingluo and many other jewelry. The top is mainly bright red, with indigo and white as embellishments, which belongs to Pai Yao dress, and is only worn three times in his life.

The lower body is a knee-length embroidered skirt, and below the knee are leggings.

There are not only leggings, but also knee pads, which are convenient for climbing up the mountain and gathering labor. However, the leggings and knee pads at the time of marriage are embroidered with colorful fabrics, and a pair of shoes is also embroidered cloth shoes.

The neighbors were eating the wedding banquet, and after Pan Qimei finished dressing, she ate some to fill her stomach, and then followed the family greeting team and sending the family team down the mountain.

The groom did not come, and the wedding ceremony was not complete.

Yao women were supposed to walk when they got married, and they were carried by the groom when crossing the bridge. Pan Qimei sat in a sedan chair this time, and Zhao Han hired a sedan chair driver, with a welcoming team blowing and blowing in front of her, and a family sending team picking up a dowry in the back.

The dowry was very simple, with embroidery, buckets, foot basins, knives, hoes, bedding, and sun umbrellas.

Also, more than a dozen loads of dry firewood...... It means that the bride is a thrifty housekeeper.

When he left home, his father sang a toast, and the other elders sang and made peace. Pan Qimei sang the "Crying Wedding Song" and left, crying and singing all the time, crying until she suddenly laughed at the bottom of the mountain, full of longing for her future life.

Pan Qimei is an ordinary Yao girl, who has been doing housework since elementary school, can sing, can spin cloth, and the Yao brocade she weaves is very beautiful.

She also often goes up to the mountains to collect pigweed, collect herbs and mushrooms, and help cut rice when she is busy farming.

Her normal life trajectory should be to marry a Yao man, move out of her husband's house a year after marriage, and start a family alone to live a small life. If her husband's family did not have extra terraces, she would have to help her husband clear the wasteland, or simply go down to the mountains to work, either as a tenant or as a nomad in the city.

She had to do a lot of housework and farm work, raise chickens and ducks, spin and weave, and have many children.

Just three months ago, the eldest prince of the platoon suddenly announced the election of the most beautiful and virtuous Sha Waist Sister. She passed all the way, stood out from the Nangang platoon, and finally entered the finals of the eighth row of Yao.

Not only is it more beautiful than it, but it is also better than spinning brocade.

In the end, she was on a par with Deng Sanmei in the Junliao platoon, and the Yao elders in each platoon argued endlessly. An old Yao suggested that if you try the cocoons in their palms, whoever has more cocoons in the palms of their hands will be more diligent and virtuous, and they will definitely be more loved by Zhao Tianwang.

Pan Qimei had more calluses in the palms of her hands, so she won gloriously.

On the night of leaving home, the welcoming party stayed in a riverside village. This is a Han village, and when I learned that King Zhao welcomed his relatives, he had already cleaned up the house.

Pan Qimei couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, she got up and looked at the stars through the window.

I heard that Zhao Tianwang is a big hero, more powerful than the most heroic soldiers in the Nangang platoon, and can easily play with the Dapu knife like wielding a straw. Zhao Tianwang can eat three catties of rice and two catties of meat every day, which is stronger than the buffalo plowing the field, but he doesn't know if he can sing mountain songs.

Pan Qimei listened to a lot of stories about Zhao Tianwang, the corrupt officials in Jiangxi were rampant, Zhao Tianwang led the peasants to raise troops, and defeated thousands of officers and soldiers alone.

How strong and heroic it must have been, it must have been blessed by King Pangu.

What is Jiangxi like?

Pan Qimei has lived in the mountains since she was a child and has never been in contact with the outside world, so she guesses that the house in Jiangxi must be bigger. According to the people who came back from Ji'an, the house of the General Soldier's Mansion was very large, and Pan Qimei felt that she could take a yard to raise chickens.

In the next few days, it was all the way by boat, and the welcoming team finally came to Yingde City.

The walls here are so tall!

Pan Qimei entered the city in a sedan chair, and many passers-by watched along the way. She was a little shy, but she didn't hide it, and waved very generously to passers-by.

Zhao Han ordered that the officials of Yingde County were not allowed to go out of the city to greet him.

You are not allowed to go out of the city, that is, you can meet you in the city. Yingde Zhixian was afraid of provoking Zhao Han to be angry, so he did not organize manpower, and only stood at the city gate to escort him in his personal capacity.

Zhao Han was reading the military newspaper at this time, and Huguang completely occupied Baoqing Mansion and Yongzhou Mansion a month ago.

In the Hunan border south of Yuezhou Mansion, only Chenzhou Mansion, Baojing Xuanwei Division, and Yongshun Xuanwei Division have not been taken - all of them are continuous mountains, poor and remote, and there are many ethnic minorities.

Zhao Han put down the military newspaper and wrote a letter to Huang Qi and others, preparing to send troops after the summer harvest next year.

At that time, the Jiangxi Navy Division will also be dispatched, and Huang Qi's northern academician will attack Yuezhou Mansion and Changde Mansion in the north and south, and take down the entire Dongting Lake Plain.

As for the remote mountainous areas in the west of Hunan, don't attack that place for the time being, it will be time-consuming and laborious, and it will not be of much use.

"Boss, the bride is here!"

Zhao Han put down the brush and came to the courtyard, and Pan Qimei had already been carried in and was looking around curiously.

That's Zhao Tianwang?

Sure enough, she was tall and mighty, and she was handsome and beautiful, and Pan Qimei suddenly blushed.

Zhao Han was very curious about the beauties selected by the Yao people, and when he saw them at this time, he immediately knew the aesthetic tendencies of those Yao people.

Seeing Pan Qimei, Zhao Han's first reaction was that his chest was so big, and his second reaction was that he was really short. When I got closer, my face was so tender that I could pinch out the water, and my round face was still with baby fat, and my face was as red as a red apple.

The aesthetics of the Yao elders can be summarized as: big breasts, big buttocks, and good birth. The face should be white and the skin should be tender. There are calluses in the palms of the hands, which means that they can work.

A little girl about 1.5 meters tall, with a round face and big breasts.

Four words to describe: child-faced giant X.

Zhao Han swore that he was by no means a lolita, and he never thought of accepting a concubine of this type.
