Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The autumn wind blows, the yellow leaves are flying, it is autumn again, several months have passed since the navy marched southward, Ming Ruxin, Mao Chenglu and others have long since completely recovered Taiwan, and most of the Dutch defenders have been annihilated. Headed by Governor Cohen  More than 700 people were made prisoners.  Ming Ruxin, who was victorious in the South China Sea, immediately reported to Zhang Ke, but unfortunately, the ship delivering the message encountered rough waves at sea, so he had to send a messenger a second time, and finally the news was sent to Tianjin.  But unfortunately, Zhang Ke went to Jinzhou again. The Tokugawa shogunate of Japan was preparing to launch a counterattack. It is said that it gathered hundreds of thousands of troops.  Dad Zhang Haichuan was very motivated and wanted to make dumplings for the Japanese pirates.  However, Zhang Ke was a little worried. After all, his father was old and fighting in a foreign land. If something unexpected happened, he couldn't explain it.  After careful consideration, Zhang Ke decided to send Yu Weiliang to replace his father, and sent his former classmate Tang Guang to Kyushu Island to deal with the counterattack of the Tokugawa shogunate.  After more than ten years of experience, Zhang Ke¡¯s men can be said to be full of talented people. Regardless of their literary or military skills, most of them can stand alone, do things in an orderly manner, have methods, and can make decisions.  Many outsiders are particularly envious, how come Zhang Ke has met so many talents? Privately, some people say that Zhang Ke is destined by fate, so God sent so many stars to earth to assist the destined emperor.  "But Zhang Ke doesn't believe this. To put it bluntly, it's nothing special.  Whether he is fighting a war or governing a local area, Zhang Ke adheres to two words: pragmatism. Once the personnel are selected, Zhang Ke will give strong support. Even if something goes wrong, Zhang Ke will tolerate it and let his subordinates forge ahead despite setbacks.  What¡¯s particularly difficult is that no matter how big the problem is, Zhang Ke will shoulder it and never shirk responsibility.  This kind of trust makes many people feel moved that a scholar would die for a confidant. They don¡¯t have to worry about strife or being held back. They just need to concentrate on doing things and move forward, even if they are mediocre talents.  After studying for so many years, they have become first-class officials and good handlers.  Of course this is only on the surface, secretly.  Zhang Ke has a super powerful intelligence system. As long as he wants to know, he can get the secrets of his subordinates and his wife. ??????????????? And Zhang Ke holds the financial system in his hands and holds too much secret power.  Anyone who dares to be corrupt or derelict in his duties or to curry favor with others.  Nothing can escape his eyes.  The processing is dealt with, and the warning warns that everything is evident, and his subordinates are convinced.  ¡°Whether it is the old hard-working brothers at the beginning, the original bureaucrats in Liaodong, or even the civil servants who integrated later, everyone can quickly adapt to this new system and fulfill their missions loyally.  After many years of experience, Tang Guang had strong confidence in himself and said: "Yongzhen. According to my research, the land of Japan is barren and the population is large. It is not enough to support the domestic personnel. If you want to conquer it completely, I think it is a piece of cake."  "It's a pity to eat without meat." "Yeah." Zhang Ke said with a smile: "As the saying goes, there are many unruly people in the poor mountains and rivers. Since the founding of the country, the Japanese have invaded Korea more than a thousand times, and they have unified it twice every three years.  After that, they will try to get involved in the Heavenly Dynasty. There is the Battle of Baijiangkou in the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese Rebellion in Japan.  A new medical system has been established, and Tang Guang is no stranger to the characteristics of germs.  "That's right, when Tianchao is strong, he is naturally not afraid. If Tianchao gets sick, the consequences will be disastrous." Tang Guang thought of this.  There was a hint of cruelty in his eyes.  "Yongzhen, I will beat up the Tokugawa shogunate, but I will not eliminate them yet. Instead, I will control the shogunate and stir up civil strife in Japan, so that they can continue fighting and split endlessly. One day, the population of Japan will be reduced to a minimum.  None, and then immigrants and annexation will make this country disappear completely." "Okay" Zhang Ke couldn't help but clapped his hands. He personally watched Tang Guang's ship leave Jinzhou and sail to Nagasaki.  After returning from the dock, Zhang Ke received Ming Ruxin's report. When he opened it, Zhang Ke's eyes suddenly lit up.  "We won, we finally won." I was relieved. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as you see the benefits of colonial development, you can't stop even if you want to.  After reading the details carefully, Zhang Ke's joy was somewhat restrained. Ming Ruxin mentioned the strong combat effectiveness of the Dutch soldiers and their skilled maritime navigation skills, which he did not have for the time being.  "It seems that we still need to vigorously train our troops." As the so-called century-old navy can achieve the current level, it is already very good.  It¡¯s just that Ming Ruxin mentioned a question.  According to the original plan, it was to attack Luzon Island and drive the Spaniards away.?Nanyang.  But Ming Ruxin captured Cohen, the governor of the Dutch East India Company in Batavia.  The so-called Batavia is the Jakarta of Indonesia in later generations, and it is the stronghold of the Dutch in the East.  If we follow the course of history, the Dutch will continue to occupy this fertile and fertile colony. It was not until after World War II that Indonesia was founded.  In Zhang Ke¡¯s impression, Indonesia is not a good thing. As a lackey of the West, it has been on the front line many times. Those filthy natives have aimed their butcher knives at overseas Chinese time and time again. They have committed numerous crimes that are too numerous to list.  "Perhaps Indonesia shouldn't exist." Zhang Ke slammed the desk, took the brush, and wrote down instructions behind Ming Ruxin's report.  "Order the army to move south quickly and seize Batavia without making any mistakes. The captured red barbarians who commit heinous crimes can be killed directly, and the noble officers can be used as hostages to extort gold and silver. If ordinary red barbarian soldiers  If you are willing to serve us, you can use it as appropriate" The instructions were quickly sent to Relanja City. Oh no, this place has been renamed Guangfu City, and the former governor's official residence has become a temporary prefect's office.  During this period of time, in addition to strictly training the navy, Ming Ruxin also appeased the indigenous leaders who came from various places.  The natives on the island had a strong impression of the Ming court and regarded the Dutch as foreign invaders. They had to pay huge taxes every year and hand over the deer skins they had hunted so hard to the Dutch.  The heavy oppression caused civil unrest on the island from time to time.  It¡¯s just that their weapons and equipment are too backward, coupled with poor organization, they are no match for the cunning Dutch. In many places, entire villages have been wiped out.  Especially for the construction of Relanja City and Chican City, countless people died.  Now that the Yizhou soldiers have arrived, Ming Ruxin has strong financial support behind him. He first announced a three-year tax exemption and at the same time returned the land that the Dutch had plundered to the indigenous people.  And set up market towns to conduct fair trade.  This move quickly calmed people's hearts and allowed the Yizhou soldiers to gain a firm foothold.  Subsequently, Ming Ruxin wiped out most of the pirates in the South China Sea. Most of them were pirates who surrendered. These people were moved to the island. Those who were available were transferred to the army, and those who were not available were allocated land to work in the fields.  There are too many wastelands on the island, and tens of thousands of people are like pepper noodles, very thin.  In order to truly prosper and become an important base for the Ming army to move south, it is necessary to vigorously immigrate.  This naturally has to wait for Zhang Ke¡¯s order. Ming Ruxin used this time to torture the Dutch prisoners and inquire about various situations from them.  Speaking of which, many of these captives have been mercenaries and sailors for many years. They have been to too many places and know the customs, customs and hydrological data of all parts of the world.  Although it was not systematic, every bit of knowledge was an eye-opener for Ming Ruxin. He specially arranged for a dozen interpreters to interrogate the Dutch and dig out everything they knew.  It was also compiled into booklets, including navigation logs, introductions to animals and plants, detailed descriptions of local customs and people, and introductions to races These booklets quickly became popular among the Ming army, and they saw all kinds of incredible things and strange customs.  , what kind of cannibal tribe, what kind of matriarchal society, what kind of huge crocodile, several feet long python It is simply more beautiful and exciting than the novel.  In the past, China always prided itself on being a celestial dynasty, but there were so many things that it didn't know. Now it seems that it's like sitting in a well and looking at the sky, which makes everyone blush.  A wave of enthusiasm quickly arose among the sailors. They also wanted to conquer the world, go to the mysterious new continent, and explore the vast ocean beneath their feet.  With curiosity, there is motivation to move forward.  Ming Ruxin had been preparing in Guangfu City for half a year, and Zhang Ke's order had been issued long ago.  He drew out fifty large warships, carrying 6,000 men and horses, and attacked Batavia as quickly as possible.  According to the consensus of the prisoners, Batavia still has more than 3,000 garrison troops, but without the governor, it should be a mess. As for the Dutch government and the East India Company, will they send more reinforcements? Ming Ru  Xin is not worried at all.  The Dutch are beyond their reach, and it would take more than half a year for them to go back and forth. It would be even more troublesome to send troops to go on an expedition. The little red-haired barbarians may not have this ability.  As for the East India Company, they came just to die.  Ming Ruxin's fleet went all the way south, and when it approached Batavia, he learned one thing. It turned out that Cohen had gone to Jelandja City to supervise the battle. Batavia was leaderless, and the local indigenous people staged an uprising, and the war spread all over Java.  The island made the Dutch anxious and exhausted.  "While you are sick, I will kill you" The Ming army immediately blocked the port, conducted a violent bombardment, sank more than a dozen Dutch warships, and then carried out a landing.  The Dutch can't stand it like a wolfThe fierce Ming army was retreating steadily.  Within ten days, the Ming army captured Batavia and occupied half of Java.  For a time, the local indigenous people were very encouraged and they all warmly welcomed the Chinese army. In their memories, the Chinese army was still the original Zheng He fleet, a symbol of selflessness and magnanimity. They were finally saved.  It¡¯s just that they don¡¯t know that the Celestial Empire has quietly changed.  "Sir, please see, this is a botanical garden. There are all kinds of plants in it, some from Southeast Asia and some transplanted from America." Xi Pei is a naturalist. He visited the Ming Dynasty a few years ago.  , after arriving in the Ming Dynasty, he was immediately impressed by the prosperity and civilization of the Ming Dynasty, and became a die-hard fan. He did not have much resentment towards the Ming army's seizure of Batavia, and he welcomed the idea very much.  "Your Excellency General, this kind of tree is called the weeping tree. Once the trunk is damaged, white liquid will flow out. The indigenous people in South America spit this liquid on their clothes to make it waterproof." After listening to the introduction, Ming Ruxin suddenly frowned,  I was ecstatic in my heart, could this be the rubber tree that the prince mentioned?  To be continued.
