The first good news that Zhao Han received was not from the Northeast, but from Taiwan.

The Dutch in the city of Geranza were besieged for ten months. Finally ate all the food, crying and begging for surrender,

If you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect, and just give you food before you die.

The Dutch East India Company, ignoring this, acted as if nothing had happened.

Van der Lin, the governor of Batavia, and Van der Laan, the commander-in-chief of the navy, are busy making money. They intensified their exploitation of the Javanese natives, and smuggled goods to the Spaniards in the southern islands of the Philippines, making a lot of money in their pockets, waiting for the Dutch headquarters to deal with them.

At the same time, the situation on the Arabian Peninsula has become extremely tense. Native powers, Ottomans, Persia,

The Dutch, British, and Portuguese were all involved, and even the Mughals were affected, and countless warships were piled up in the western Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf.

None of these countries really want to go to war, but they are afraid of the enemy sending troops.

Even the Dutch warships in Ceylon were transferred to the Arabian Peninsula to prepare for war, so where could they care about continuing the war with China?

Tensions in the Arabian Peninsula stemmed from the rise of the Yariba dynasty (Oman).

Just last year, Yamato Yariba, the founding Sultan of Oman, suddenly fell seriously ill and died violently, causing countless external forces to stir. Under the game of all parties, Ariba's nephew succeeded to the throne, and the new sultan was not a soft persimmon, and immediately launched a general attack on Portugal after ascending the throne.

Not a single Portuguese colonial castle in Oman remained, and all of them were breached by the new sultan.

The Dutch, British, Persian, and Ottoman all wanted to get their hands on it and take over the Portuguese colonies. However, the new sultan of Oman was too fierce, taking advantage of the mutual jealousy of several major forces, not only to recover the entire territory, but also to support his own merchants, and to unite with Arab merchants in the surrounding areas, and even began to play sea trade and do business.

At the same time, the new Sultan of Oman also vigorously developed his navy and actively strengthened his maritime power (a few decades later, in just two generations, the Omani navy became the little overlord of the Indian Ocean).

In addition, the successful expulsion of Portugal by the Sultan of Oman greatly encouraged the Green Cultists in East Africa. Green Cult Leaders Everywhere,

Asking for help, the Sultan of Oman generously sent troops to attack Portuguese castles along the coast of East Africa.

Later, it even hit Mombasa (Kenya), Zanzibar (Tanzania) and Madagascar,

Become the absolute hegemon of the East African region.

Many inconspicuous small countries, whose ancestors also had a bold attitude, were Portugal, which was completely devastated and was beaten by the Sultan of Oman so that they could not find the north.

In addition to the situation in East Africa, the bigger problem facing the Netherlands is the beginning of the self-government faction to come to power.

Just this year, the Dutch consul Wilhelm II died of smallpox. His only son, William III, was born eight days after his death, and the Dutch Home Rule seized power.

The Gestomists convened a parliament and declared that there would be no more unified armies in the Netherlands, and that the provinces would be responsible for their own defense.

Five of the seven provinces announced that they would abolish the "governing" post in the future, and the Netherlands entered the "first period of non-government."

The Dutch government, that is, the Dutch king in disguise, served by the Prince of Orange's family, this thing can be inherited from father to son, the Anglo-Dutch war lasted for more than 20 years, and Britain could not achieve a decisive victory in the naval battle, so it fooled France to attack the Netherlands by land. The Netherlands was crushed by France, and the self-government, only then remembered the House of Orange, and invited William III to command the army.

After repelling the French army, William III actually went to marry England, and thus became the king of England.

He also served as the Dutch consul.

The British and Dutch, who had fought for decades, were ruled by the same king.

This commotion made the king of France look stupid: why did I cooperate with Britain to fight?

This year, the Dutch consul Wilhelm II, who was still a baby, died. The Dutch self-government faction tore the country apart, and this is why they sold warships to Britain. Similarly, the Dutch East India Company was also affected, and its internal affairs were in such a mess that it could not spare its hands to wrestle with China.

Nanking.

A group of red-haired and green-eyed prisoners of war were escorted ashore, attracting passers-by to watch.

Foreign devils are becoming more and more common, but it still feels strange to come so many at once.

Fairberg, the former governor of Taiwan, was now chained to the anklets, his hands and neck were also shackled, and his cloak was scattered to watch everything on the dock.

Good prosperous river port, good majestic and strong city walls.

At this moment, Fairberg felt that he was a joke, and he actually felt that he could easily defeat the Chinese army.

The Spaniards also had this bizarre idea. A few decades ago, during the Wanli period, Spain planned to send troops from the Philippines and send 2,000 elites to completely occupy the entire Ming Dynasty, and then was choked by the Luzon Han uprising.

Nan Huairen, who had traveled in China for several years, finally returned to Nanjing, and he looked at these Dutch prisoners and couldn't help but ask the escorts: "Your Excellency, may I ask where these prisoners were captured?" ”

"Taiwan!"

Nan Huairen had heard of Taiwan, an island in China where the Dutch had entrenched themselves and seemed to have been defeated by China.

"Dada-da-da!"

Several horsemen rushed out of the city, and one of them took out the court documents: "Your Majesty has an order, Dutch prisoners of war from Taiwan do not need to be judged, and they will be beheaded directly." Nitrate their heads, and send messengers from Honglu Temple to Batavia with the heads of these prisoners of war! “

The two sides quickly completed the handover, and the prisoners of war were taken away by a group of officials and dragged to the execution site today.

Nan Huairen sighed secretly, according to the administrative divisions of later generations, he belonged to the Belgians. But in this era, Belgium was part of the Dutch Republic, and Nan Huairen was a full-fledged Dutchman.

Nan Huairen went straight to the abode of Julius, who had already been worshipped by Julius a few years earlier.

When he arrived at Julius's house, Nan Huairen found that there were a lot of people gathered here, but it was this great Confucian from the West who was sick and educated.

"My manuscripts, in the drawer of my study." Julius pointed to the next door.

A large number of manuscripts were quickly brought in, and Julius said weakly: "China's customs and culture are very strong, and it is difficult to proselytize without changing the doctrine. The Nestorian New Testament was written last year, but there were too many divisions within the church. Today, there are only about 20 people left in China, and if they do not reform their doctrine, they will dissolve themselves sooner or later. You guys... Let's see. ”

The missionaries were silent, not knowing what to do.

Julius meant to change Christianity to Nestorianism. The Nestorian New Testament combines Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and Datong thought to reinterpret the Bible in a bold way. In addition, after the reform, the Jesuit Society was completely separated from the Holy See and placed under the management of the Religious Department of the Datong Court.

This series of assumptions took too big a step, and the Jesuits in China became quarrelsome.

Two days later, Julius died, and the Nestorian New Testament was sent to Zhao Han.

After a cursory reading, Emperor Zhao was very satisfied with this, and immediately ordered: "Although Julius is a Westerner, he is also a Confucian. He also compiled a new calendar, wrote a book to introduce Europe, posthumously awarded the Guanglu doctor, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to set a decree for him. ”

Doctor Guanglu, from the first rank to the first rank, is also considered to be the posthumous Yourong Rites Department tossed for several days, and finally gave Erulius a nickname: Wenduan.

The nickname "Wenduan" is generally given to Confucianism, especially Confucianism who wrote books.

Zhao Han just asked the Ministry of Rites to set the name, and did not secretly give advice. The officials of the Ministry of Rites can give "Wenduan", and the knowledge (Confucianism) of Ming Ai Julius is unanimously recognized by the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

The first European with a nickname was born.

As for the Nestorianan New Testament, there was still a quarrel within the Jesuits. Zhao Han is not in a hurry, just let them quarrel, and when these guys are all dead, it is better to have no missionaries directly.

"Your Majesty, Quang Nam Military Daily."

Military reports on the front line or in newly occupied areas are now required to be written in four copies. One was sent to the emperor for inspection, one to the cabinet, one to the military department, and one to the governor's palace.

Zhao Han took it apart and took a look, this was more than two months ago.

Officials in Quang Nam Province began to divide the land into acres this year, but did not directly distribute land to the peasants. Even so, the gentry of Quang Nam complained and colluded with local officials to pass on taxes to the peasants.

Han Chinese officials, focusing on the investigation of the gentry in Thanh Hoa and Yi'an, punished several large clans one after another, confiscating their land and property to distribute to the peasants.

As a result, the gentry of the two places began to make trouble.

They colluded with local officials and stepped up their exploitation of the peasants. and to the peasants, these are the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes to be collected by the Datong Imperial Court.

Just in the autumn of this year, more than 20,000 peasants from Quang Nam rebelled, all of which were financed by the gentry.

The Datong army stationed in Thanh Hoa was dispatched, killing more than 3,000 people and capturing nearly 10,000 people.

Zhao Han had a headache after reading the report, mainly because he couldn't understand his words. The imperial court can send officials to govern Vietnam,

But the grassroots officials must be locals. Many of these grassroots officials came from the gentry class, and they deceived the upper and lower levels together with the landlords, making it difficult for the imperial court to rule effectively.

The peasants were deceived by the landlords and officials, and they also hated the imperial court.

More than 20,000 people rebelled against Vietnam last year, and I don't know how many years this situation will continue.

However, Vietnam will never give up.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, only the Song Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty have not ruled Vietnam, and even the Yuan Dynasty has ruled for a short time. Most of the time, the land of Vietnam belongs to the territory of China, and the time of independence is even shorter.

The recovery of Vietnam was the responsibility of the Great Unification Central Dynasty.

Zhao Han ordered: "This time to quell the rebellion in Guangnan, half of the vacated land will be distributed to the immigrants." From Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guangdong, immigrants from each country came in groups, regardless of which ethnic group, as long as they knew Chinese. “

The situation in Quang Nam must be improved slowly, and it may take tens or hundreds of years.

As for the war in the Northeast, although there was no good news at this time, Zhao Han was not worried at all, and it was already time for the melons to ripen.

(At the end of the chapter, there is a map of the actual territory controlled by the Datong Imperial Court, which seems to be under review.) )
