It had been more than a month since the Dutch suffered their defeat, and the Spaniards in Taiwan had some news.

But for the fact that the Ming army has a weapon of mass destruction, it is basically unbelievable.

Most people think that the Dutch must have been driven away by the Ming Dynasty, and they felt that they had no face to make up a very powerful weapon.

There were no living people in a radius of more than ten meters.

How can it be?

But soon Li Zicheng taught them a lesson.

Fort Santo Domingo was not large, and Li Zicheng only sent a hundred gunners.

After just one attack, the defenders at the head of the city raised the white flag.

Don't fight.

The message is true.

Daming's cannon is really powerful.

If you pretend to be forced again, you will definitely die!

Zheng Zhilong smiled and let people take prisoners and occupy Fort Santo Domingo. Then move on to the next goal:

Santisima - Trinidad Fortress.

News of the fall of Fort Santo Domingo soon reached Keelung.

The Spanish supreme leader in Taiwan, named Ruz, was shocked when he heard the news that the Ming army had captured Fort Santo Domingo. Didn't the Ming army drive the Dutch away only last month, and come to the north so soon?

"My lord, what shall we do?" One of the subordinates asked a little panicked.

"According to the news, the Ming army has very powerful artillery, is it true?"

"It should be true!"

"Can we beat it?"

"I can't beat it!"

"Run?"

"What?"

"Run! I don't want to stay in this bird place for a long time! Don't run anymore, be a captive like a Dutchman! I heard that because of the redemption of Putsman, the Dutch authorities were extorted millions of taels of silver. Are we willing to pay so much for us? ”

"Your Excellency is right! I'm going to arrange? ”

"Hurry up."

Then, the foreign merchant ships docked in Keelung saw a magical scene.

Ruth hurriedly boarded the ship with his family and belongings and went to sea. This was followed by the Spanish soldiers, and finally the indigenous soldiers of Luzon. Confused them. When I sent someone to inquire, I found out that the Ming army was calling.

"Shall we run?"

"Run, right? What if Akito arrests us? ”

"I don't think there's anything to be afraid of. We're here to do business, not to fight. Akito is still very reasonable! ”

"the! You weren't robbed by Nicholas Official? ”

"Just grabbed it once!" The person who spoke looked proud!

"! You're proud, aren't you!? ”

"I'm not leaving anyway! I can earn at least 50,000 taels of silver by transporting these deerskins back to China! ”

When Zheng Zhilong arrived, the entire Santisima Trinidad Fortress was almost gone.

What about people?

Zheng Zhilong was puzzled, and a voice came from a distance.

"One official! One official! ”

Zheng Zhilong turned his head, and a thin monkey was running in this direction while speaking Chinese.

"Don't fire! Don't fire! I am a Siamese merchant! We've met! Seeing himself being targeted, the skinny monkey shouted and raised his hands.

"Come here!"

"Alas!"

The thin monkey ran over with a smile on his face and made a bow.

"You know me?" Zheng Zhilong asked with a frown.

"Recognize! Know! My caravan was once robbed by Zheng Zongbing! The thin monkey nodded repeatedly.

Zheng Zhilong touched his nose slightly embarrassed. Damn, you're still laughing when I robbed you. I thought I saved your life!

"The Great Luo of the Worlds"

"What are you doing here? What about the Francis? ”

"When they heard that Zheng Zongbing was coming, they ran away early."

"Then why didn't you run?"

"I'm a businessman, as long as I can pay for it. As for who the owner of the goods is, I don't care. What's more, now the entire port is Zheng Zongbing's, with our friendship, the cooperation must be very pleasant. ”

"No one took the goods from the port?"

"No, the Frankies can't wait to throw away their own women, how can they still have the effort to bring goods!"

"In this way, you are responsible for informing the merchants you know that after we take over Keelung Port, everything will be business as usual. In view of the inconvenience caused by the war, the unmade transactions continued. Those who need to pay the goods to the terminal will be paid according to the original ninety percent, so that they don't have to panic! ”

"That's a good feeling! Thank you, Mr. Zheng! I want two boatloads of deerskins, can I load them tomorrow? ”

"Yes! I will order someone to hurry up and count the goods, and tomorrow everything will be back to normal! ”

"Xie Zongbing! That little retirement! ”

"By the way, what's your name?"

"The little one is called Ba Song!"

"I remember you. You pay 80% of the original price for tomorrow's transaction! ”

"Xie Zongbing! Xie Zongbing! ”

Ba Song ran away excitedly, and after returning to vigorously promote the Ming army.

After Zheng Zhilong's efforts, within two days, Keelung Port was lively again. A reduction of 10% in price represents an increase in net profit of 10%. Businessmen pay attention to profits, as for who owns the site and who they do business with, does it matter?

Besides, everything was left by the Spaniards, and he Zheng Zhilong didn't spend a tael of silver, so why not do it.

Zheng Zhilong swept around again, arresting all the people on the island who belonged to the Spanish forces. According to statistics, there are more than 1,000 people on the island, of which only a few dozen are Spanish, and the rest are basically native to Luzon.

Zheng Zhilong let go of a person and asked him to go back to report to his superiors and take the money to ransom people. He was going to slander the Spaniards again. However, his wishful thinking this time must have failed, and the Spaniards directly abandoned these people.

He stayed in Taipei for a few more days, and when everything stabilized, he let Zheng Zhibao stay. He embarked on the return journey with his soldiers.

At this point, the entire island of Taiwan, except for the natives, no longer has any external forces.

For the aborigines, Zhu Youzhen does not plan to kill them all.

As long as as they immigrate to the island as much as possible, with the assimilation ability of the Han Chinese, it is only a matter of time before they are sinicized.

Whether it is the productive forces or the social culture, it is inevitable to develop in a more advanced direction. Generally speaking, if you can have food, clothing, and food and clothing, more and more people will not want to stay in the deep mountains and old forests.

So he ordered the establishment of Taiwan's political envoys, and set up two prefectures in Taipei and Tainan. He also appointed Shi Bangyao as Taiwan's political envoy and Zuo Bu's political envoy.

Shi Bangyao was also a loyal minister who accompanied the martyrdom after the Jiashen Change.

When he learned that Chongzhen had hanged himself, he untied his belt. shouted: "The monarch is martyred, and the courtiers can steal their lives!" Then he hanged himself.

But he was saved by the servant and didn't die, he scolded the servant, asked the servant to buy arsenic, and committed suicide after drinking with wine!

If a person has the courage to commit suicide once, it may be a hot brain. But if you commit suicide twice in a row, you really don't want to live.

Zhu Youzhen's selection of him as Zuobu's political envoy was deliberate.

One is that he is an upright person and has dealt with Zheng Zhilong.

When Zheng Zhilong first returned to the imperial court, Shi Bangyao was the prefect of Zhangzhou at the time. In order to win him over, Zheng Zhilong gave him a gift made of amber gold.

Shi Bangyao saw that the craftsmanship of this gift was excellent, and he liked it very much, so he immediately left this gift.

But he left things just for viewing. The next morning, he ordered the gift to be returned as it was. At that time, Zheng Zhilong thought that Shi Bangyao was also a corrupt official who accepted it when he saw it. Unexpectedly, when I got up the next day, I saw that the prefect's yamen had already sent someone to return the gift, and told Zheng Zhilong that the prefect appreciated the gift very much, but it could only be appreciated, not accepted.

Since then, Zheng Zhilong has been deeply impressed by Shi Bangyao's personality.

Second, he is kind and benevolent.

He once bought a maid and asked her to clean the courtyard. Unexpectedly, when the stone girl cleaned the east corner of the courtyard, she actually cried at the corner with a broom.

Bang Yao sensed passing by and asked her strangely why she was crying. The maid replied, "This was once the house of my ancestors, and when I was a child, I dropped my earrings here when I was playing. Now I feel sad when I come here. ”

Bang Yao couldn't bear to hear this, so he took out the money for his daughter's marriage and chose a scholar to marry her.

It is only fitting for such an upright and benevolent person to come to Taiwan as a political envoy.

As for the governor, he does not intend to set it up for the time being. Taiwan's situation is special, and he is afraid that the people he sent will fool around.

Zheng Zhilong knew the news as soon as he returned to Tainan, and he was very happy and personally ordered someone to take Shi Bangyao to the island.

"Si Minggong, let's meet again!" As soon as Zheng Zhilong saw Shi Bangyao, he gave a deep salute.

"You're welcome! Your Majesty has high hopes for Taiwan, and you and I must work together in the future to govern Taiwan well, and we must not disappoint Your Majesty! ”

The two returned to the city hand in hand, and they couldn't help but feel a sigh of emotion.

It's really impermanent...

At this time, Li Zicheng had already embarked on the return journey. Wu Youke lived in Taiwan.

Taiwan has been taken back by the imperial court, and more and more people will move to the island in the future, and he will stay here to practice medicine and spread medical knowledge. Bring out a few apprentices and go again.

Xu Yan had also recovered by this time, and although his injuries looked serious at the time, they were actually only skin injuries. In view of his strong and unyielding character, after Xu Yanru woke up, Wu Youke officially accepted him as an apprentice, planning to teach him in the future.

Everything is thriving and developing in a good direction.
