655【Reclamation】

Zhang Zhaoyong said goodbye to Li Jixiu and went home to study seriously.

No one would know that their family would have resisted and sacrificed in another time and space.

At that time, Guangdong was occupied by the Manchus, and Zhang, a middle-aged woman in Tianjin, claimed to be the empress of the Emperor of the Apocalypse. Engraved seals, made order flags, scattered wealth in Tianjin to recruit troops, and contacted the peasant army in Jinghai County, and repeatedly repelled the encirclement and suppression of local Manchu troops. Zhang was unfortunately captured and died, and his subordinates continued to resist the Qing Dynasty.

The governor of Tianjin was frightened and invited the leaders of the peasant army to a banquet in an attempt to recruit peace. The matter was revealed, the governor of Tianjin was dismissed, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty transferred heavy troops, and it took more than a year to destroy the Tianjin rebels.

In the same year, there were also the five gentlemen of Ningbo.

Huaxia, Wang Jiaqin, Yang Wenqi, Tu Xianchen, and Dong Deqin learned that the Qing army in Zhejiang had been transferred to Fujian. Immediately sent people to contact the anti-Qing generals Wang Yi and Huang Binqing, planning to recover Ningbo from inside and outside.

But Huang Binqing was cowardly and weak, hesitated, and did not dare to send troops. The contact letter to Wang Yi was intercepted by the traitor landlord and sent to the government to report the news and receive the reward.

The five gentlemen did not get a response for a long time, so they simply launched an uprising themselves.

The uprising failed, and unfortunately he was captured and sent to Hangzhou to be tortured to death.

Wang Yi, who did not receive the letter, has always insisted on the struggle against the Qing Dynasty, and after being captured and sacrificed, his subordinates were still revolting until the Kangxi period.

At the same time, in the northwest, an uprising broke out among the Hui people in Gansu. Once conquered Liangzhou, controlled the Hexi Corridor, and connected with the Han gentry and peasants, the rebel army quickly increased to 100,000, and the struggle lasted for a year and then failed.

In the southwest, although some Tusi defected to the Qing army, most of the people of all ethnic groups were fighting. Yi, Zhuang, Miao, Tujia... Go forward and follow each other, and would rather die than give in.

In the face of the brutal rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the people of all ethnic groups achieved great national unity.

"Don't send troops to destroy the Tartars this year?" Pang Chunlai asked.

Zhao Han said: "If the money and food are not enough, I will talk about it next year." Tartars are grasshoppers after autumn, and they can't be bounced for more than a few days.

"Alas!" Pang Chunlai sighed.

First sent troops to the Ryukyus and Satsuma domains, then sent troops to Vietnam, and then a large number of immigrants, the money and food of the Datong court was really not enough to fight.

Zhao Han put down the emperor's shelf and patiently explained: "Sir, forgive me, I know Mr. Irriger's urgency to eliminate the Tartars. However, in the long run, it is more important to emigrate troops to Taiwan and Quang Nam than to quickly eliminate the Tartars. The officers and men of the three divisions, whose families all emigrated to Taiwan and Quang Nam, would feel that they had been assigned if they were not given generous and generous treatment. “

"I understand." Pang Chunlai expressed understanding.

The Datong soldiers and their families who immigrated to Taiwan and Guangnan could not only share an extra five acres of land each, but also the imperial court would give a large number of ploughing cattle and grain. In addition, there is no need to pay the field tax for ten years, and the field tax will be halved within 20 years.

In particular, the families of soldiers who immigrated to Taiwan and settled in Taiwan were given a ploughing ox to three households, and they did not have to pay land taxes for 20 years.

Fifty years of Uchida endowment halved.

Pang Chunlai suddenly asked again: "When will Your Majesty make a move against the Dutch on the island of Taiwan?"

Zhao Han said: "It's not next year, it's the year after that." ”

This is really not Zhao Han's reckless military force, but the Dutch rule in Tainan has reached a critical period. Its oppression of the Han and aborigines has reached the limit, and in the next two or three years, the Han people in Tainan will rebel, and the Netherlands will probably carry out massacres.

This news was reported by the Zhixian of Zhuluo (Chiayi), and Guo Huaiyi, the leader of the Han people in Tainan, was contacting Zhuluo Zhixian to raise an army.

Historically, Guo Huai's uprising failed, and more than 4,000 Han men in the Chichi area were arrested and 1,800 were killed

I. More than 5,000 women were killed or captured, and many more children were killed or enslaved. This accounts for four-fifths of the Han Chinese population in the Chichi region.

Zhao Han tried every means to immigrate to Taiwan, so naturally he couldn't let the situation get out of control, so he sent the Datong Army to station this time.

It was to prevent the Dutch from committing a massacre.

When the Dutch first arrived in Tainan, they were very courteous, and even to build a castle, they had to pay for land from the aborigines.

Gradually, as the Dutch increased their troops, they began to exploit the natives.

When the Dutch failed to attack the big tribes, they bullied the small tribes in order to make an example of the monkeys. They also brought smallpox to the indigenous people, which led to a plague that led to the conquest of various tribes.

There are more than 1,200 inhabitants on Xiaoliuqiu Island (near Tainan), and the Dutch slaughtered more than 400 and sold more than 100 young and strong people to Southeast Asia as slaves. All the young women on the island were assigned to the Dutch soldiers as slaves, which was tantamount to exterminating the tribes of the island.

In dealing with the Han Chinese, the Dutch first sowed division, and then brutally suppressed them.

Then, oppression by economic means. A liquor tax was levied on the Han Chinese, then a poll tax, and then a toll tax. This was not satisfied, and the Han people were forbidden to sell deerskins privately, and all of them had to be sold to the Netherlands. Han people buy and sell houses, and are taxed one-tenth. There is also a tax to pay when buying salt. The smuggling of sugar cane was then banned, and it had to be sold to the Netherlands.

To this day, Han people buy sugar, candles, tobacco, fish... Even killing pigs for the New Year and buying firewood for heating in winter had to be taxed by the Dutch.

In addition, the Netherlands also continued to propagate to the aborigines, saying that the Han people were robbers and bullies, and sowing discord between the aborigines and the Han people. It also forbade Han Chinese to open schools and forced Han Chinese and indigenous people to become religious. Religious preaching at a fixed time,

The people of the region must come and listen, and whoever does not come will be fined a deerskin.

There is also a "democratic congress" that Han Chinese and indigenous leaders must attend every year.

The democratic assembly was to promote the goodwill of the Netherlands, and finally to urge the payment of taxes and punish the tribes who did not pay the taxes in full. As often the case, the emissaries sent by the Netherlands to call a meeting of the aborigines were directly cut down by the aborigines. The Dutch preached at the democratic conference, and the aborigines directly carried out the assassination on the spot.

Nowadays, every year when a democratic assembly is held, the Netherlands has to send troops to maintain order, so that the democratic assembly does not turn into an uprising

It was this kind of high-pressure policy that led to the Han people who had taken refuge in the Netherlands and plotted rebellion one by one. Now that the situation is at a critical point, if Zhao Han does not use any more troops, Tainan will fight, and the consequence will definitely be a massacre against the Han people.

Taiwan.

Zhang Xianzhong was in Taipei, Sun Kewang was in Taoyuan, and Li Dingguo was stationed in Zhuluo (Chiayi).

For a while, they couldn't touch it.

In Zhuluo County, Taiwan, the aboriginal tribe is called Zhuluo Mountain Society. They were highly sinicized, and with the immigration of Zheng Zhilong and Zhao Han, the Han Chinese and the aborigines had become closely intertwined.

"Hey, there's a lot of people here, it's not the kind of place where birds don't." Before Yuan Shizhong landed on the shore, he looked at the house from afar and joked.

Li Dingguo said: "Zhuluo County is the place with the largest number of people registered in Taiwan. ”

The jurisdiction of Zhuluo County not only includes Chiayi, but also includes the Penghu Islands. The registered population of Han Chinese and aborigines has reached 70,000, more than half of which are immigrants and descendants organized by Zheng Zhilong.

Lin Chaofeng, Zhuluozhi County, personally took the officials to greet the Datong soldiers at the wharf.

"General Li, General Yuan, you have worked hard from afar!" Lin Chaofeng bowed his hand and greeted

"Well said, well said!"

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Li Dingguo asked, "What is the situation in Zhuluo County?" “

Lin Chaofeng said: "There are constantly Han people in the south, who can not bear the oppression of the Netherlands, and flee to the south of Zhuluo County to reclaim the famine. The Dutch red-haired ghosts often sent troops to loot and coerce the Han people to pay taxes. "

Li Dingguo asked: "Didn't Zhuluo County send someone to negotiate with the Netherlands?" “

Lin Chaofeng said: "I have negotiated several times, but I can't tell whose territory it is. The Dutchman quibbles every time,

insisted that it was not the jurisdiction of Zhuluo County. I also sent people to organize peasant soldiers and peasant associations there, but the number of Han people was too small to resist the Dutch guns and artillery. “

"Are these Han people who are cultivating land in the border area registered?" Li Dingguo asked.

Lin Chaofeng said: "At first, I was unwilling, and I kept avoiding the government, afraid that the government would give me a heavy burden. Now that they have settled down one after another, they know from the salt dealers that the government collects very little from the land, and that they do not have to pay taxes in the first few years of land reclamation. “

Yuan Shizhong suddenly spoke: "Since you have settled down and registered your household, you are the people of the country!" The red-haired ghost looted the villages and forced the people to pay taxes, which was to invade our territory and kill our people. There is a good reason to send troops, fuck it! “

Li Dingguo raised his hand and said: "Our army has just finished fighting in Guangnan, and the soldiers need to rest and recuperate. Moreover, the families of all the soldiers and soldiers of the army have not yet immigrated here, and they are all looking forward to reuniting with their families. The best time to start the war should be after the seeds are planted next year. ”

Lin Chaofeng said again: "Under the rule of the red-haired ghost, there is Guo Huaiyi, the leader of the Han people, who has sent people to contact him many times. He said that if he raised an army, he would definitely be able to capture the castle, but he needed the help of the government, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with the counterattack of the Dutch. ”

Chichicheng, which is Zheng Chenggong's Chengtian Mansion, is the core of the Zheng family's rule over Taiwan.

Chichicheng and the surrounding villages were home to more than 10,000 Han Chinese at this time.

Li Dingguo said: "Let him wait a little longer, and make an appointment to start next year." “

10,000 Datong soldiers were taken by Li Dingguo to the south of Zhuluo County. There were hundreds of Han Chinese peasants, all of whom had fled from Dutch rule, and an overnumbered indigenous tribe.

Ordered the soldiers to cut down trees and cut forests, transport the grain and grass on the ship, and build a large camp a few days later, Yuan Shizhong stayed in the camp to guard, and Li Dingguo led people to explore the nearby situation.

When he came to the Beimen Township area of Taiwan in later generations, Li Dingguo grabbed the soil by the river and said happily: "This place is very fertile, and it is a good place to grow food." “

Can the alluvial area where the river flows into the sea not be fertile?

This land is suitable for farming, while the coastal areas, which are a little further north and south, are relatively barren, but can be used for salt!

Li Dingguo asked the Han people who had fled nearby and asked, "Are there any natives here?" "

Hermes-Epitek replied, "Yes, their tribe is called Xiao Cheng She, and they call themselves the Siraya tribe. There are not many people, only one or two thousand, and they don't farm well, and they usually have to rely on fishing and hunting to make a living. “

Li Dingguo said: "Bring 500 catties of rice and 20 catties of salt, and I will visit these natives. ”

At the beginning, the Dutch were able to get along with the scholars with gifts, not to mention the black-haired Han Chinese.

When the rice and salt were sent out, the indigenous chiefs were very happy and willing to be neighbors with the Datong army.

Li Dingguo returned to the barracks and summoned all the officers and men of the army to give a lecture: "Don't complain in your hearts, thinking that coming to Taiwan is a match. Your Majesty said that the families of the soldiers have moved here, and each person can reclaim 30 acres of land, and will not pay the land endowment for 20 years.

Fifty years of Uchida endowment halved. I've just gone to see it, and there are two rivers that flow into the sea, and the land is very fertile, and it's not a wild place. As long as you cultivate for a few years, everyone is a landlord. Do you want to do it? ”

"!" The soldiers shouted in unison.

The prestige of the founding monarch was enough to eliminate the resentment in the hearts of the soldiers.

At the time of Zhu Yuanzhang, a large number of soldiers were moved to Yunnan, Guizhou, southern Jiangxi, northeast China, and even to the grasslands north of Yanshan. There may have been complaints, but the soldiers were very obedient.

Li Dingguo said: "Don't wait for your family to come, let's do it now!" “

Armed with axes, the soldiers ran to the banks of the two rivers and cut down trees to level the fields. and he that did not have an axe carried wood and stone.

The efficiency is amazing, and in half a month, a large area of forest is gone, and the cut wood can still be used to build houses.
