Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Youjian had a cold face.

Driving the Zheng family to avenge our Nanyang people is the right way!

Since Nanyang cannot be taken care of for the time being, let Zheng Zhilong go first.

This official fan...

He didn't believe it. He was given the territory of the Shifeng Kingdom and would not do his best...

Gao Doushu's mind was spinning, and he quickly considered the pros and cons.

After a while, he laughed and said:

"With the arrival of Marquis Luzon, the situation in Nanyang suddenly became clearer!"

Zhu Youjian was silent.

Compared to Nanyang, he is more concerned about the north.

There are many islands in Southeast Asia, and the power of the Westerners is not great. They can just leave it to the two warlords Zheng and Zuo Liangyu.

Before the northern issue was completely resolved, Nanyang was only the source of food for the Ming Dynasty.

……

Speaking of the Zheng family, we have to mention what Zheng Zhilong did this year.

The Zheng family has not been successful this year!

Zheng Zhilong gathered a group of old friends and prepared to take over Taiwan.

Zheng Zhilong spent the New Year in the first year of Yongsheng on the boat.

Just after the Ming Dynasty officials had their New Year's holiday, Zheng Zhilong, who had not had a holiday for several years, took advantage of the tide on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to rush into the city of Rezhelan with a warship.

The painter accompanying the army made a painting:

"Ten Thousands of Troops Conquer Taiwan"

Thousands of troops take over Taiwan

The Zheng family at this time was not the Zheng family that had lost most of its power when Zheng Chenggong regained Taiwan.

What's more important is that Zheng Zhilong and his brothers are still here at this time!

You must know that although Zheng Zhilong was addicted to officialdom, he was even deceived by the Qing court. In the end, almost all the older generation of the Zheng family fell under Zheng Zhilong's misjudgment.

Whether it was for the country or for the Zheng family, Zheng Zhilong deserved death.

but!

Zheng Zhilong is a master of naval combat!

Zheng Zhilong started from scratch by following his uncle Huang Cheng in running a boat.

Step by step, he gained the trust of "Captain of China" Li Dan, and finally took over Li Dan's power after Li Dan's death.

At the beginning of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Zheng Zhilong defeated Xu Xinsu, a partner of the Dutch East India Company, and killed Xu Xinsu.

At the same time, Yu Zigao, the deputy commander-in-chief of Fujian and Zhejiang, was defeated.

While fighting one after another, Zheng Zhilong began to strangle the Dutch forces.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the Dutch army stationed in Taiwan was defeated.

Large-scale immigration to Dayuang Island began - Zheng Zhilong was the No. 1 person in large-scale reclamation of the motherland's treasured island!

In this year, Emperor Tianqi was poisoned and Zhu Youjian ascended the throne.

The governor of Fujian at that time was Xiong Wencan - the one who branded the British as pig thieves.

After Xiong Wencan inspected Zheng Zhilong, Shangshu recruited Zheng Zhilong.

Chongzhen awarded Zheng Zhilong the rank of Five Tigers Guerrilla General.

In the sixth year of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong defeated the Dutch East India Company fleet in the Battle of Kinmen.

From then on, no barbarians dared to fly their flags around the China Sea!

At this point, Zheng Zhilong’s trade scope covers a wide range of areas—East Asia and Southeast Asia:

Wonu Kingdom, Dadi, Boni, Champa, Vietnam, Luzon, Jingang, Beikang, Taiyuan, Hirado, Nagasaki, Bombay, Banten, Old Port, Batavia, Malacca, Cambodia, Siam Luo......

This was the period when maritime power with Ming official background was at its strongest since the gentry took away overseas trade.

It’s the first day of this year.

Zhu Youjian's imperial edict, which made him the king, completely inspired Zheng Zhilong's "official fanaticism".

Zheng Zhilong was ready to complete the first step given to him by the emperor - to recapture the treasure island.

My silly boy with overturned elbows said that if you want to seal the country, you must do it step by step.

As long as you take back the treasure island, you will get the honor of the father-in-law.

Because of Zheng Chenggong, Zhu Youjian deliberately skipped the step of earl and gave him the super high treatment of becoming a duke from the beginning.

The Lord of the Ming Dynasty is still very valuable.

Otherwise, the reputation of the three knighted civil servants would not be so great.

(Wang Ji, the uncle of Jingyuan, was posthumously granted the title of Marquis of Jingyuan after his death.

Yangming, the uncle of Xinjing, was granted the title of Marquis of Xinjing after his death.

Weining Bo Wang Yue posthumously presented it to the Taifu. )

Not only that, Zhu Youjian even told this official fan of the Zheng family through Zheng Chenggong -

Not only was he given a title, he was also granted a hereditary and irreplaceable title with real power!

Moreover, as long as the Zheng family continues to perform meritorious service, the title will continue to be awarded.

Father-in-law is just the beginning.

Then there is the prince!

As for whether he is a county king or a prince...

——Just look at how much territory Zheng Zhilong has taken back!

On Treasure Island at this time, the Dutch only had two large cities, Relanja City and Prominja City, with nearly 2000 people stationed there.

But there are tens of thousands of immigrants from mainland China!

These people were all brought by Zheng Zhilong!

In other words, even if Zheng Zhilong doesn't send a ship over, as long as he gives the order, the crown will fall on Zheng Zhilong's head.

Ever since Zheng Zhilong got the news that the emperor was going to "crack the earth and make him king", Zheng Zhilong's eyes were filled with nothing but black gauze.

This "official fan" showed his full ability.

Not only does he want to take back the treasure island, he also wants to fight beautifully!

Since that day, Zheng Zhilong had only one thought in his mind:

“Not only do we want to take back Taiwan, but we also want to reach Nanyang and make a show of prestige!

Let the emperor see what Zheng Zhilong is capable of! "

(Mainly because I want to seal the country)

Zheng Zhilong took away less than half of the thousands of warships of the Zheng family at once.

Most of the main battleships were taken away!

In order to become a prince, Zheng Zhilong didn't even plan to live his life...

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the spring tide.

Zheng Zhilong took advantage of the cover of night and took advantage of the rising sea water to successfully raid the city of Relanja.

That is Orange City.

This castle was the main hub for the Dutch to rule the entire island of Taiwan and for foreign trade.

In the seventh year of Tianqi (1627) when Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, it was renamed "Relandja City" after the name of the native Dutch province Zeeland (or translated as Reland Province).

At dawn, the flag of the Ming Dynasty and the flag of the Zheng family had been hoisted in the city of Relanzhe.

The second painting made by the painter who accompanied the army:

"General Zheng's Surrender Picture"

One day later, another team led by the reckless man Zheng Zhibao successfully captured the city of Prominzha.

In just two days, all the red-haired people on Treasure Island were gone.

The remaining forces who managed to escape hurriedly exited the treasure island.

Zheng Zhilong, who had been given a secret order, pressed the living red-haired man's head into a urine jar filled with golden juice.

Then he chopped off his head and sent it to the Gaoshan tribe deep in the jungle.

The indigenous people on Treasure Island have long been bullied by the red-haired people.

I was overjoyed to receive the gift from the court.

Seeing that the great revenge had been avenged, they all chose to register.

The treasure island of the motherland, the whole territory returns to the embrace of the motherland.

(Note: At this time, the Spaniards on the treasure island had long been beaten away by the Dutch.)

The loss of the treasure island made the East India Company furious.

At this time, the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company was established in Yecheng, Lusong (the Shunta Kingdom established by the remnant forces of the Song Dynasty).

It is Sunda Galapa.

This is what the Dutch call Batavia (today's Jakarta, Indonesia).

The Dutch East India Company, although apparently managed by a 70-member board of directors. (Actually more than 70 people.)

In fact, it is controlled by a 17-member board of directors.
