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

    The Dutch in Zeelandia were besieged for ten months.  At last they ate their food, and cried out for surrender,

    ? If you want to kill, you can do whatever you want, just give him something to eat before he dies.

    The Dutch East India Company ignored this, as if nothing happened.

    The governor of Batavia, Van der Lin, and the commander of the navy, Van der Laan, these two surnamed Fan, are busy making money.  They stepped up their efforts to exploit the Javanese natives, and smuggled goods to the Spaniards in the southern Philippine archipelago. They made a lot of money, waiting for the Dutch headquarters to deal with them.

    At the same time, the situation in the Arabian Peninsula has become extremely tense.  Indigenous powers, Ottomans, Persians,

    The Netherlands, Britain, and Portugal were all involved, and even the Mughals were affected. 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. How could they care about continuing the war with China?

    The tension in the Arabian Peninsula stems from the rise of the Aliba dynasty (Oman).

    Just last year, Yariba, the founding Sultan of Oman, suddenly fell ill and died suddenly, attracting countless external forces to move.  Under the game of all parties, Yariba's nephew succeeded in succeeding to the throne. The new sultan was not a soft persimmon, and immediately launched a general attack on Portugal after he took the throne.

    None of the Portuguese colonial castles in Oman remained, all of which were broken by the new Sultan.

    The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Persia, and Ottomans all wanted to get involved there and take over the Portuguese colonies.  But the new Sultan of Oman is too fierce. Taking advantage of the mutual fear of several major forces, he not only regained the entire country, but also supported the merchants of his own country, and joined forces with Arab merchants in the surrounding areas to start doing business in sea trade.

    At the same time, the new Sultan of Oman has also vigorously developed the navy and actively enhanced maritime power (decades later, with only two generations of father and son, the Oman navy became the overlord of the Indian Ocean).

    In addition, the Sultan of Oman successfully expelled Portugal, which greatly encouraged the Green Christians in East Africa.  Leaders of Green Cults from all over the world,

    ? Requesting assistance one after another, the Sultan of Oman generously sent troops to attack Portuguese castles along the coast of East Africa.

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

    Become the absolute hegemon in East Africa.

    Many small and inconspicuous countries, their ancestors were once rich! But Portugal, completely devastated, was beaten to nowhere by the Sultan of Oman.

    In addition to the situation in East Africa, the bigger problem facing the Netherlands is that the Zemstvo faction has begun to take power.

    Just this year, the Dutch Consul William II died of smallpox.  His only son, William III, was born eight days after his death, and the Dutch Zemstvo took the opportunity to seize power.

    The Zemstvo faction convened a parliament and announced that the Netherlands would no longer have a unified army, and that the provinces would be responsible for their own defense.

    Among the seven provinces, five provinces have announced that the post of "government" will be abolished in the future, and the Netherlands has entered "the first period without governance".

    The ruling of the Netherlands is the king of the Netherlands in disguise. It is held by the Prince of Orange family.  France attacked Holland by land.  The Netherlands was completely defeated by France, and the Zemstvo faction remembered the Orange family and invited William III to command the army.

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

    And also serve as the ruling of the Netherlands.

    The two countries, Britain and the Netherlands, which have been killed for decades, are now ruled by the same king.

    This coquettish operation made the King of France look stupid: Why am I cooperating with the British to fight the war?

    This year, the ruler of the Netherlands, William II, died, and William III was still a baby.  The Dutch Zemstvo faction tore the country apart, and only then did the operation of selling warships to the United Kingdom come into being.  Similarly, the Dutch East India Company was also affected, and its internal affairs were in a mess, and it was impossible to spare a hand to wrestle with China.

    Nanjing.

    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 is still strange to see so many at one time.

    The former Governor of Taiwan, Felberg, was chained at the moment, his hands and neck were also shackled, and he looked at everything on the pier with disheveled hair.

    What a prosperous inland port, what a majestic and solid city wall.effective rule.

    Peasants were fooled by landlords and officials, and hated the imperial court deeply.

    In Vietnam, which was conquered last year, more than 20,000 people rebelled this year. 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 and Qing dynasties have not ruled Vietnam, and even the Yuan Dynasty ruled briefly.  The land of Vietnam, most of the time, belongs to the territory of China, and the time for independence is even shorter.

    It is the responsibility of the Great Unification Central Dynasty to recover Vietnam.

    Zhao Han ordered: "This time to quell the Guangnan rebellion, half of the vacated land will be given to the immigrants. From Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guangdong, each immigrant will go there, regardless of the ethnicity, as long as they can speak Chinese."

    The situation in Guangnan must be improved slowly, and it may take dozens or hundreds of years.

    As for the war in the Northeast, Zhao Han didn't feel worried at all, even though the victory report hadn't come yet.

    (At the end of the chapter, there is a map of the actual control territory of the Datong court, which seems to be under review.)
