    No one can imagine that Yizhou Island, which is not far from the mainland, did not really establish contact with the mainland until the end of the Ming Dynasty and truly became a land of the Han people.

    Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty (AD 607 in the third year of Daye) ordered the Yuqi Lieutenant Zhu Kuan and the naval commander He Man to enter the sea together. After a difficult voyage, they finally reached Yizhou.  Because he couldn't understand the language, he only robbed one person and returned.  The next year, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty ordered Zhu Kuan to go to comfort him again, but Yizhou refused and only took his cloth armor and returned.  In the sixth year of Daye (610 AD), Yang Guang sent Wu Benlang general Chen Leng and the imperial official Zhang Zhenzhou to lead more than 10,000 Dongyang soldiers from Yi'an to Chaozhou, Guangdong) to Gaohuayu, and then traveled east for two days to Chengzhongyu, and then  After one day of sailing, we arrived at Yizhou.  When the local indigenous people first saw the ships, they thought they were merchants and came to trade one after another. This shows that there were already mainland merchants doing business there at that time, so the local residents were accustomed to seeing ships.  Chen Leng asked the local chief Huansi Kejidou to surrender, but was refused, so the Sui army captured thousands of men and women and returned with the army in full force.

    Until the Tianqi period of the Ming Dynasty, Taiwan was still dominated by indigenous tribes.  At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Han Dynasty Yao Lu's "Lu Shu" recorded: "The people are scattered and have no kings, but the chiefs (chiefs) and the like are the leaders. If there are less than ten Chinese people who come to the place, they will be killed. If there are more than fifty people, then they will be killed."  They closed their homes and avoided it." That is to say, until the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Han people were still unable to control the control bay. When there were few people, they were killed by the natives. When there were too many people, the natives could not defeat them, but they did not provide cooperation.  , stayed in hiding, the Han people were unable to get supplies, and finally had to withdraw.  In the late Ming Dynasty, Chinese pirates such as Li Dan, Yan Siqi, and Zheng Zhilong all settled in Taiwan, but they eventually withdrew from Taiwan.

    ¡°It was the Dutch who really brought Taiwan into the Ming Dynasty.  In 1622 AD, the Dutch took advantage of the change of defense of the Chinese garrison on Penghu Island to occupy Penghu. In 1624, the Ming Dynasty navy surrounded Penghu.  The Dutch negotiated peace with the Ming government, and the two parties reached an agreement: the Netherlands would withdraw from Penghu and move to Taiwan.  At that time, the Ming Dynasty nominally had suzerainty over Taiwan, Ryukyu and even Japan, so the agreement was legal, although the Taiwanese natives did not know about it.  So the Dutch entered Taiwan and began to develop conquest activities.  At that time, the political landscape of Taiwan was complex. There were Chinese pirates and Spanish strongholds along the coast, and indigenous tribes in the interior.  The Dutch quickly defeated the Chinese pirates and Spanish in Taiwan.  For the indigenous people of Taiwan, the Dutch sent missionaries, and the missionaries made great achievements in Taiwan: the indigenous people converted to Christianity.  And became a loyal subject of the Dutch. The Latin alphabet created by the Dutch for the Taiwanese indigenous people was even used until the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.

    As the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Yongli, was defeated one after another on the mainland, the Southern Ming general Zheng Chenggong saw that the Central Plains was gone, and began to pursue the idea of ????Taiwan.  1661.  Zheng Chenggong used the excuse that his father Zheng Zhilong had farmed in Taiwan when he was a pirate, so he claimed that Taiwan was the homeland of the Zheng family. So the war broke out, and Zheng Chenggong's army quickly swept across the island of Taiwan and surrounded Chikan Tower.  The Dutch had to surrender to Zheng Chenggong.  After Zheng Chenggong occupied Taiwan, he set up prefectures and counties in Taiwan. Since then, Taiwan has become a territory of China.  Although the Dutch army was defeated.  However, the Taiwanese natives did not surrender to Zheng Chenggong. Zheng's army in the Ming Dynasty encountered stubborn resistance from the Taiwanese natives and suffered heavy losses. The three thousand troops Zheng sent to the north to colonize the country were wiped out by the natives.  The Ming army sent to Erlin Village was also annihilated by the natives.  Of course, in the face of the powerful force of the Ming army, the resistance of the indigenous people ultimately failed.  A large number of Chinese immigrants entered Taiwan and fundamentally changed Taiwan's demographic composition.

    Lu Bu was concerned about military and political affairs.  He couldn't take the time to go to Yizhou, but he knew it very well.  Every undeveloped continent has extremely savage indigenous people, such as the Indians in North America and the Maori in Australia. The savage indigenous people on Yizhou Island are no exception.

    No matter how barbaric they are, there are ways to civilize them. Is it that I, Lu Bu, can't keep up with those Dutch people?  Lu Bu urgently dispatched Zuo Ci's disciple Ge Xuan to lead a hundred Tongtian sect priests to Yizhou to preach to the natives.

    The missionary enthusiasm of Christian missionaries was no less than that of the devils they attacked. They tried to replace all the world's religions with one religion. Lu Bu believed that when the Dutch promoted Christianity to the natives, they sacrificed many missionaries to gain the support of the natives.  trust.  In this regard, other religions cannot compare, but Tongtian Sect is completely different.

    Ge Xuan received Zuo Ci's true teachings, and his Taoist skills were astonishing. He preached the doctrine to those who were literate and sensible. The teachings of Tongtian Sect integrated the strengths of various major religions and were very effective in attracting people. For these ignorant natives, light  Propaganda of doctrines would have little effect, so Ge ??Xuan used Taoism.

    Ge Xuan is like a feathered immortal, as if coming down from the sun, emerging from the sun, with a halo around his head, slowly pacing in the air, and then slowly descending, landing among the indigenous people, and then waving his hands, the indigenous tribe lives in a snail's nest.  The largest bamboo building in the group exploded with flames shooting into the sky.  Then Ge Xuan's Taoist robe waved lightly, and another strong wind blew up, blowing away the indigenous tribesmen.All the buildings were burned to the ground. Then Ge Xuan took out a scroll from his back, spread it out and threw it to the chief of the indigenous tribe. Pointing to the Donghai navy ship docked outside the port, he said a dialect: "Surfing yourself to that group of people, I will do it for you."  They are the masters, they will help you build the house in the painting, convert to Tongtian Sect, and God will bless you!"

    If those tribes were stubborn and tried to attack Ge Xuan, Ge Xuan would take out a few dark things from his body and throw them out. The offending natives would be blown up on the spot and shouted: "God will punish you bad guys!"  Or Ge Xuan waved his sleeves, and a strong wind blew up the offending natives and hung them on the branches.  If there was an epidemic in some tribes, Ge Xuan would take out medicine and cure the disease of the natives. After such kindness and power, Ge Xuan slowly rose into the sky, and then slowly disappeared.

    If the natives are still hesitant not to defect to the Donghai Navy, Ge Xuan will appear in the sky again like a god, taking out strange objects in his hand and shining the natives there, and the natives will see his appearance clearly.  It can be seen that they were all frightened, and Ge Xuan threatened again in native dialect: "I have captured your souls. If you don't surrender to them and go against God's will, you will be punished by God." The natives fell to the ground in fear and begged for mercy. Ge Xuan  Xuan pointed at the Donghai Navy's ship: "Kneel down and beg for surrender, and I will spare you, otherwise I will use this mirror to look at you again!" The natives had no choice but to kneel down and beg for mercy from the officers and soldiers, and then the officers and soldiers  Interpreters were sent to trade with them, and exquisite products such as ceramics and silk were exchanged for their land.  Since most of the tribes lived by fishing and hunting and did not know how to farm, the alluvial plains near the rivers were of no use to them, so they readily accepted the exchange.

    Ge Xuan's Taoism does not support flying. He was carried into the sky by a big kite. The frame of the kite was blocked by his big Taoist robe. The string of the kite was strong and transparent sky silk; there was a Taoist crown wrapped around his Taoist crown.  The transparent glass ring will emit a dazzling halo when it is illuminated by the sun; what is thrown out with a wave of both hands is a grenade. Gunpowder has been invented for several years, and simple grenades have also been made; the dark things are naturally also grenades.  That strange thing was a mercury mirror. As for the sudden strong wind, it was indeed caused by Ge Xuan's Taoism.

    Ge Xuan is only responsible for the large tribes, and most of the small tribes are left to Ge Xuan's disciples. If their disciples can't settle things, Ge Xuan will take action.

    Zhou Yu divided his troops into five groups. According to the map drawn by his lord Lu Bu, he cooperated with the Xuanjiao missionaries to attack everywhere.

    First, we will capture the Tainan Plain, which stretches from Changhua in the north to Kaohsiung in the south. The Tainan Plain covers an area of ??4,500 square kilometers. It is a coastal plain and is the largest plain in Taiwan.  We also took the Pingshi Plain, which covers an area of ??more than 1,000 square kilometers. It is an alluvial plain and is the second largest plain in Taiwan.  The Yilan Delta Plain, Taitung Longitudinal Valley Plain, Hsinchu Plain and Hengchun Plain were successively captured. Of course, the Taipei Basin and Taichung Basin were also captured one after another.

    Ge Xuan and his disciples deceived the indigenous people, occupied the plains and basins that the indigenous people had abandoned, and gave some exquisite silks, ceramics, etc. to the chiefs of these indigenous tribes.  products.  The natives thought that the people God wanted them to join were stupid, so they could not bear any hostility towards Zhou Yu's navy.

    Some Shengfan natives were still in the stage of cannibal tribes and were unruly, robbing and killing lone soldiers. When Zhou Yu learned about this situation, he could not restrain his anger and mobilized a division of troops, using ballistae and divine arms.  Bow, wipe out this tribe of 5,000 people, the largest Shengfan tribe on Yizhou Island, killing all men, women, old and young.  When using a ballista to throw bombs to blow up the Nashengfan tribe settlement and kill the cannibal tribe members, Zhou Yu specially invited people from other indigenous tribes to visit and told the indigenous people through the Penghu interpreter: "Follow me."  Whoever prospers and goes against me will perish!"

    Among the four to five hundred Han people who immigrated to Chiayi from Penghu, more than a hundred of them learned the dialect. Some even intermarried with the natives and married the native women. Zhou Yu appointed these more than one hundred Han men to be interpreters and as interpreters.  A bridge of communication between the army and the indigenous people.

    The prey obtained by the indigenous people from hunting or fishing can be done through the Penghu interpreters as middlemen and the officials and soldiers, and they can get those exquisite products from the officials and soldiers, and of course some tea and liquor, which the chiefs of these tribes like.  After Zhou Yu destroyed the cannibal tribe, they knew that they could not defeat the Han people. The Han people's ballistae could destroy the houses they had finally built in one go.  They were blown up, and the Han people not only did business with them, but also built houses for them, taught them how to farm, and taught their children how to read. Compared with other indigenous tribes who fight with their own tribes all day long, the Han people are so good  too much.

    Seeing that the situation in Yizhou was slowly stabilizing, Ge Xuan left his disciples to continue preaching while he returned to Luoyang.

    After showing miracles and intimidation, when we started preaching again, there was no tribe that was unwilling to follow, and everything went smoothly.?Tongtianjiao conquered the indigenous tribes.  Of course, the Tongtian Sect here in Yizhou is different from the Tongtian Sect in China. The teachings are very simple. If you worship the three gods Pangu, Fuxi, and Nuwa, and be loyal to the Han people, you can go to heaven, otherwise you will go to hell.
