Qin Baoqi is dead!

According to the current situation, he can't even die if he wants to!

Rebellion caught! Seriously injured! If you don't die, you won't live long, it's better to die early than to survive and be humiliated!

Yu Zhong's poison is also extraordinary, and he really didn't have any pain when he died! …… That's white powder.

Anesthetic is a good thing, so when transplanting cinchona cream, Old Man Fei thought of this thing and decided to get some. However, they only knew that the anesthetic was extracted from morphine, and that there was an anesthetic called demerol, but they did not know how to make morphine. Thinking about it like this, a few people thought of opium. At this time, although the amount was not much, opium could still be found in China as a kind of soothing and pain-relieving medicine, but the name was different, it was called foreign medicine. A few people managed to get a little bit of it, and made a mess of it, but as a result, unexpectedly, they actually made white powder, but I don't know if this white powder belongs to the heroin or morphine series, or neither.

And on this expedition, Yu Zhong was afraid that if he was injured and knifed, it would be very painful, so he brought a little bit of this thing to charge anesthetic. I was afraid of getting addicted, so I only brought so many wax pills, but I didn't expect to give it to Qin Baoqi in the end. As a result, Qin Baoqi died like that. According to the conclusion made by the old grandson of the army after the examination, this Qin Baoqi caused prostration, palpitations and other symptoms due to the sudden expansion of his blood veins, and he was seriously injured, so he died...... There are no symptoms of poisoning!

In this regard, Yinchu and Yang Yuan, who was called back, were very unhappy. But what else can happen if people are dead? In the end, at Yu Zhong's suggestion, he had to be buried casually with those fallen rebel soldiers.

Then, Yu Zhong left a part of his soldiers and horses to guard the choke point of Shiqiu Ridge, and quickly led the brigade to turn to the rebels attacking Huwei, to fight Nian Qianyao back and forth.

However, they had not gone far before they encountered the remnants of the rebel army who had retreated from Huwei...... The rebel soldiers who had fled from the defeat of Shiqiuling had already sent the news to the Huwei rebels, and as a result, the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society, who was ordered by Qin Baoqi to defend Huwei, led his army to retreat in panic. However, this person really had no military talent, and he wanted to take advantage of Nian Qianyao's attack to lead the troops to retreat, but, out of a certain brotherly righteousness, he actually did not leave a team behind, and he still withdrew with artillery. So, Nian Qianyao led the boat down the Tamsui River to catch up, and the rebels led by him were quickly defeated under the heavy bombardment of more than 100 artillery. Originally, there were more than 6,000 soldiers and horses sent by Qin Baoqi to guard Huwei, and according to the favorable terrain, they would not let Nian Qianyao go ashore. However, after all, the rabble is a rabble, and it is okay to rely on more people to fight a good fight, but once they encounter an unfavorable situation, they will not be able to hold much time at all, not to mention that it is the people of the Heaven and Earth Society who lead the troops, not the local residents of Taiwan...... At a disadvantage, these Taiwanese, who make up the majority of the rebels, will no longer obey the orders of a provincial, so even if the leader of the Tiandi Society wants to reorganize the army, it will be too late.

Nian Qianyao pursued and fought fiercely in the rear, and the army led by Yu Zhong in front intercepted it, so the rebel army was quickly annihilated, a few troops were captured, and the rest either fled or died in the battle.

And less than two days later, just as Yu Zhong sent his subordinates to purge the local rebels, Lan Li and Chen Python in Tainan also sent Yue Zhongqi to send the news that Liu Qizhi and Wang Guozhang were defeated and arrested, and more than 20,000 rebels were killed in total, more than 17,000. It turned out that Lan Li and Chen Python found that Liu Wang and the two were heavily guarded, and after the rapid attack was difficult, they finally adjusted their strategy, using the retreat as bait to lure the two out of the dangerous place, and then cut off the back road of the two with ambushes and annihilated them in one fell swoop.

……

"More than 17,000 were killed at once in the south, and more than 5,000 were killed on my side, and 2,000 were taken prisoner...... How many people are there in Taiwan now? After receiving the battle report, Yu Zhong touched his scalp and couldn't help smiling bitterly, in fact, he didn't kill many people in this battle, only Nian Qianyao killed a lot, this guy didn't think about taking prisoners at all when he was chasing the Huwei rebels in the back, and when the battle stopped, the rebels who died under his army were close to four thousand, but this account would only be counted on the head of the main general, that is, his Yu Zhong.

"When Taiwan was occupied by the Netherlands, there were about 100,000 Han Chinese, and Zheng Chenggong attacked Taiwan, bringing with him more than 30,000 officers and soldiers, and all of them brought 6 or 7,000 people. However, as many as 5 to 6,000 people died of the disease. Due to the implementation of the sea ban, Zheng Chenggong sent tens of thousands of displaced people from Zhaozhang, Quan, Chao, and Hui along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong to move into Taiwan. Later, Zheng Chenggong's son Zheng Jing sent troops to participate in the rebellion of the three feudatories, which was defeated by the imperial court, and 100,000 Zheng troops surrendered...... At present, the total number of Han Chinese in Taiwan is only between 200,000 and 250,000. Yu Zhong's generals didn't know about this question, and in the end, Yang Yuan took out a petty officer in charge of military quartermasters from his subordinates, and finally answered this question.

"200,000 people...... All of a sudden, we cut off almost one-seventh of it! Yu Zhong shook his head again and again after hearing this.

"These traitors are more than innocent!" Yang Yuan replied in a loud voice.

"Is it innocent to die?" Yu Zhong smiled at him and asked, "Then can you tell me why Taiwan is so prone to riots?" One-seventh, if you say it generously, can be said to be 'one person makes a rebellion, and the whole Taiwan is opposed'! Could it be that just a few corrupt officials can have this kind of ability? ”

"This ...... How will this end be clear? Yang Yuan cleared his mind.

"Do you have anything to say, sir?" Nian Qianyao has been following Yu Zhong for a long time, this time he was murderous, and he was worried that Yu Zhong would settle accounts with him afterwards, so he was a little cautious when he spoke.

"Taiwan is a great place! …… Look! He stretched out his finger and pointed to the map and pointed all the way from north to south: "Keelung, Huwei, Zhuqian (now Hsinchu), Banxian (now Changhua), Taiwan Fucheng (now Tainan), Anping, Dagou (now Kaohsiung), Baosang Zhuang (now Taitung), Lin Yuanliao (now Xingang, also called Chenggong), Qilai (now Hualien) all have places suitable for ports, and in northern Taiwan, there are many plains and fertile land, and there are not many people who have reclaimed ......."

"Your Excellency is saying that if someone occupies Taiwan, it will become a disaster?" Nian Qianyao heard the meaning of Yu Zhong from the word "port", Yu Zhong's capital in the past few years is not in vain, day and night to instill the awareness of "sea power" in his subordinates, and, in order to deepen his subordinates' understanding of this, he even risked the danger to lead the fleet to the Japanese border several times, and with his subordinates to Japan's maritime frontier as an example to carry out a number of war deductions, with examples to illustrate the importance of sea power. Therefore, most of his subordinates can now understand the importance of sea power, and Nian Qianyao, as a fluke, is naturally not lagging behind.

"Not bad! If you look at this place in Taiwan, to the east, across the Taiwan Strait is Fujian, to the northwest is Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and to the southwest is Liangguang. It has always been just 'a thief for a thousand days', where is the truth of 'a thousand days to prevent thieves'? Yu Zhong nodded.

"But isn't Taiwan already in the hands of the imperial court now? Isn't it unwarranted for Lord Toto's worries? Moreover, with this Liu Qi's example, the imperial court will definitely have heavy troops stationed in Taiwan, and it will not repeat the mistakes of the past! Yinchu said.

"Is it really not going to happen again?" Yu Zhong looked at Yinchu with a smile, "It doesn't matter how many troops the imperial court can station in Taiwan, in fact, so that Taiwan has no chance to be used, this is the most important thing." ”

"I don't understand what my lord says!" Yinchu said.

"Hehe, eldest brother, can you tell me why the Zheng family has not encountered any riots after staying in Taiwan for so long?" Yu Zhong smiled at Yinchu again.

"Huh? ......" Yinchu raised his eyes and looked at Yu Zhong's eyes, not understanding why he asked. This is a very difficult problem to solve! Hearing this question, the first answer that comes to the minds of ordinary people is because the Zheng family is a minister of the former Ming Dynasty, but this cannot be said explicitly. And what else can there be?

"It's people!"

Without waiting for Yinchu to answer, Yu Zhong said the answer himself.

"At that time, the Dutch occupied Taiwan and ruled it with harsh laws. Zheng Chenggong restored Taiwan to help him with leniency, and at the same time, he brought many Han people who listened to him, so that the people who were already under his command accounted for the majority of Taiwan's population. Naturally, it will not be reversed. ”

"Your Excellency wants to invite immigrants from the imperial court to fill the platform?"

"Not bad! After the imperial court pacified the Taiwan Strait, although the sea was banned, immigrants were not allowed to bring their dependents, and Hakka people were not allowed to move to Taiwan. Although it is to prevent these people from rebelling far away from the mainland, it also makes the majority of people in Taiwan who are interested in the Zheng family. …… After all, Taiwan has only been peaceful for more than ten years, and the Taiwanese have not forgotten the Zheng family! Even if the imperial court had pacified the place, these people would still be hostile to the imperial court. Yu Zhong said.

"Reasonable! However, a large number of immigrants, I am afraid that the ministers of the DPRK and China will oppose it! Yinchu said.

"Yes, you can't immigrate in large numbers! Only in small amounts. …… However, this small number refers to the selection of a small number of poor people from the prefectures and counties of the world, and then moved here after being disrupted and dispersed. It should not be dominated by the people of a certain place. Yu Zhong said again.

"Are you afraid of them in tandem?" Yang Yuan shouted.

"Not bad at all. There are many uneducated people in Taiwan, as well as many large clans, and if something happens, they will inevitably flock to Taiwan for the sake of their own clan's interests. And these people have a lot of cross-links, once they are connected, maybe it will be another rebellion of Liu Kezhi! Originally, there were only more than 200,000 of these people, and no matter how many they were, it was impossible to exceed 300,000. However, when I thought about it later, instead of being so troublesome, it was better to directly invite the imperial court to invite poor people from all over the world to come to Taiwan, so that the new people were not familiar with the place and could not form a clan, so they could only honestly accept the jurisdiction of the imperial court; If there is a conflict, the imperial court can take the opportunity to weaken their power, even if they don't, when the immigrants increase, where will they talk and make trouble? ”
