Chongzhen soon received the good news of regaining Taiwan in Fuzhou. Wang Youqing completed his command mission and returned to Fuzhou in the first batch.

Chongzhen had read Wang Fuzhi's summary, looked at Wang Youqing, and said:

"Who said that this kind of victory can be directed by anyone. What do you think?"

The passage written by Wang Fuzhi is a bit of a taboo of his boss, but Wang Youqing does not mind this. Indeed, the entire battle is basically done step by step, and all possibilities are estimated to be achieved through pre-deduction, so the command of the entire battle does not have much technical content. Victory was easily achieved in a calm state. Wang Youqing has been thinking about it all, so he replied:

"Weichen believes that the evolution of weapons is causing the evolution of war. Whether we capture Taiwan or the emperor fights the Japanese super weapons at sea, it only means that if the weapons change, the way of combat will change. From individual tactics to the tactics of the entire army, it needs to change. One is of course to maximize our combat power, and the other is to maximize the limit of the enemy's combat power. Weichen feels that the commander cannot be satisfied with defeating backward troops like the Netherlands. Only by defeating more powerful enemy troops can he be called an excellent commander. Therefore, Wang Fuzhi's statement seems reasonable, but in fact it is biased."

Chongzhen laughed and thought to himself that this Go master is extraordinary. When he turned around, he thought it was a bit like a Go discussion. Go is an art of restriction and anti-restriction. Thinking of this, he said:

"Mr. Wang said it well! Of course, I hope that every student in our military academy will have the ability to command the war and win victory, but in fact it is impossible. Unless our opponents will never improve."

Chongzhen waved his arm and said with a sigh: "What we need to win is the future war. The way of war is endless. For this reason, our commanders should have higher resilience. This time, it is worth our summary and learning from the Japanese naval battle. Well, this time it is extremely dangerous, and finally it was safe and successfully recovered Taiwan. On the battlefield, there is also a little luck. The Japanese are a little bad luck this time. As for the Dutch, they don't take advantage of the time, place and people. Even if our weapons are almost there, they will still be done."

According to Chongzhen's instructions, all the surrendered Dutch officers and soldiers allowed them to withdraw to Batavia, and the "S Grafran" was also returned to the Dutch. The "S Grafran" was repaired and set sail first and took the first batch of Dutch officers and soldiers to Batavia. The remaining personnel had to send a ship to pick them up. It would be fine to drive the Dutch away, but there was no need to have too much grudges with them. The business dealings with Europe must continue. This Dutch East India Company is also a traditional customer! Since it is a customer, it is necessary to fight when it is time to fight, and it is time to fight when it is time to fight. There are no eternal friends in this world, nor eternal enemies.

The Dutch may not know that the Japanese have a bunch of "gods" come, but soon the Dutch will experience the Japanese's power. Their sea coachman will have a hard time. The Ming army's navy has set off, and the Japanese's giant ships and cannons will make him scream. Chongzhen made his wishful thinking and his business with the Dutch will be done. He will do it as he should, and even in the future, it is not ruled out that he united the Dutch against the Japanese.

The next question is how to develop Taiwan.

Xia Yunyi had been ordered to Fuzhou by the imperial edict, and was the candidate for Chongzhen to be appointed as the Taiwan governor, asking him to generalize the civil affairs of Taiwan. As for the garrison, Chen Zilong led the Taiwan Navy and Land Ming Army, including 1,200 New Army, and the newly established Taiwan Fleet, with Chen Jiangkui as the navy, commanding the Taiwan Fleet.

Chongzhen met Xia Yunyi, who was almost 50 years old. Xia Yunyi was once a model county magistrate, praised by the Ministry of Personnel, and also went to Beijing to meet the saints. Therefore, Chongzhen was deeply impressed by Xia Yunyi. In history, this man later jumped into the water and committed suicide by killing the country. His son Xia Wanchun inherited his father's will and was determined to fight against the Qing Dynasty. He was also generously executed in Nanjing four years later, and was only nineteen years old when he was executed. However, Xia Wanchun has been taken to the Royal Military Engineering Academy by Wang Chengen and is studying steam engines.

Chongzhen was in a trance in the entanglement between history and reality. He said that life was like a play, and this history was a big play. He was a romantic figure, and he was all passing by. He sighed in his heart and said:

"Xia, I have summoned you to Fuzhou this time. I have already known in advance. I have appointed you as the Taiwan Administrator and the general of Taiwan's Civil Affairs. However, Taiwan's civil affairs are not that simple, so I have a few words to talk to you."

"Please give me the order! I will obey the order." Xia Yunyi still had the impression of Chongzhen before, so he looked very nervous and terrified.

Chongzhen didn't care about Xia Yunyi's attitude, but just told him:

"Xia Aiqing, Taiwan's weight is the same as Fujian in my eyes. I am responsible for this. The biggest problem of Taiwan is the indigenous problem, and the other is the problem of disagreement in the land. For this reason, the Military Affairs Office has formulated some strategies for treating the indigenous people. At the same time, the Ministry of Works has also prepared some medicines, which has a solution to it. Many of the indigenous people in Taiwan still live a life of slash-and-burn farming, cave fishing and hunting. The Dutch deals with the indigenous people in Taiwan, and the Dutch adopts the "local meeting" system to select elders from each village. The elders must swear allegiance to the Dutch authorities. The Dutch promotes current political measures every year. I think these practices of the Dutch are worth learning from. The Dutch should have read the plans for the indigenous peoples of the Military Affairs Office to treat the indigenous people, right?"

"Return to the emperor, I have read it carefully and thought that the strategy is feasible. I will act according to these strategies."

"That's good. Taiwan's indigenous people are at most hundreds of thousands of people, and Taiwan can reclaim more than 10 million acres of arable land. Even if it grows to 10 million in the future, it will be enough to be self-sufficient. So, the next thing is how to develop Taiwan." Chongzhen did not tell Xia Yunyi that the population of Taiwan in later generations was 23 million, and the number of 23 million was a bit terrifying. I guess the old man would think that the emperor was fooling him after hearing this.

"Report to the emperor, I have heard a little about Taiwan when I was a county magistrate in Changle, Fujian. It is rumored that Taiwan is full of mountains and miasma prevails. The total number of people who migrated from Fujian over the years is probably only 20,000 to 30,000. I really don't know that Taiwan can reclaim 10 million acres of arable land. If it wants to support 10 million people, it is not something that I can imagine. I also ask the emperor to give me advice!" Xia Yunyi had heard of the story of Taiwan for a long time, it was nothing more than a barbaric island. As for Fujianese fleeing to Taiwan, it was a famine. The emperor said that 10 million arable land could be reclaimed, and the entire Fujian was only more than 16 million arable land. Well, this seems a bit fantasy!

When Chongzhen saw that Xia Yunyi really didn't believe it, it was true. If it weren't for the future generations, who would have believed it! Since that was the case, he had to move his golden fingers. The Japanese had traveled through time and their golden fingers were still hidden. Wouldn't that be too low-key! He pointed to the sand table that had been prepared long ago and said to Liu Jiyun:

"Xia Aiqing has questions, please introduce it to him."

Liu Jiyun replied: "Okay!"

This is a 4-meter-long and 2-meter-wide sand table, which is not only used to command the attack on Taiwan, but also to develop Taiwan. Liu Jiyun picked up the command stick and began to explain to Xia Yunyi:

"Sir Xia, please see. The places marked as plains and basins on the sand table account for about one-fifth of Taiwan, with nearly 8,000 square kilometers. The main plains are the Jianan Plain, Pingtung Plain, Yilan Plain and Taitung Long Valley Plain. The Jianan Plain is also known as the Tainan Plain, which is 180 kilometers long from north to south, and the widest part of the east and west is 43 kilometers. You see, the Jianan Plain is like a date pit shape, with an area of ​​more than 4,400 square kilometers, making it the largest plain in Taiwan. The migrating Han people mainly live in the Jianan Plain. The Pingtung Plain is located in the southern part of Taiwan Island, with an area of ​​more than 1,100 square kilometers, and is the second largest plain in Taiwan Island. The Yilan Plain is located here.

, in the northeast of Taiwan Island, the area is more than 300 square kilometers. The Taitung Long Valley Plain is located between the central mountain range and the coastal mountain range. It is 180 kilometers long from north to south and 2-7 kilometers wide from east to west, with an area of ​​about 1,000 square kilometers. The basins in the sand table mainly include the Taipei Basin, the Taichung Basin and the Puli Basin, and the basin area is more than 700 square kilometers. The main plains and basins total about 7,500 square kilometers. If these places are reclaimed into fertile fields, one square kilometer is 1,500 mu, and 7,000 square kilometers of fertile fields will exceed 10 million mu. Lord Xia, after seeing this sand table, what questions do you have?”

Xia Yunyi followed Liu Jiyun's guidance and heard Liu Jiyun talk about the numbers one by one. Could it be that this sand table was made by the Dutch? However, more than a thousand Dutch people stayed in Taiwan, and it is said that the area they were involved in was very limited, but they didn't know how to measure this sand table, and they had countless questions in their minds. However, with this sand table, there were too many conveniences for developing Taiwan.

Seeing that Xia Yunyi was still confused, Chongzhen said:

"Xia Aiqing, take this sand table to Taiwan. This is a rough sand table, which can only be used as a reference. After you arrive in Taiwan, you must send someone to accurately survey and map the Taiwan map."

Chongzhen continued to explain:

"There are already many Han people in the Jianan Plain and Pingtung Plain west of Taiwan. The eastern part of Taiwan has not yet been civilized. However, the Yilan Plain and the Longgu Plain in the east have fertile land and sufficient rain. The rice can be ripe for two or even three ripe for three. I hope my dear will be able to deal with the indigenous problems as soon as possible and build these two places into the granary of our Ming Dynasty within two or three years. In order to cooperate with you, the troops who have been eliminated from various places will be arranged to come to Taiwan by 50,000 people.

To develop the indigenous territory, educate and cultivate fertile land. As for the food issue in the first year, since my dearly minister has been the magistrate of Changle County, Changle is the hometown of sweet potatoes, I am afraid that I will have to make sweet potatoes at the beginning. Of course, in terms of grain allocation, the court will also allocate some food, but some of the food must be done by the love of ministers. In addition, the court is preparing to raise some food and grass for my dearly ministers by pre-sale of land. Come, Liu Jiyun, tell me."

The pre-sale of Taiwan’s land was originally due to the princess’ proposal, but it was not pre-sale before the attack on Taiwan, but was changed to pre-sale after the capture of Taiwan. The princess meant that even the military expenses for the attack on Taiwan had to be paid in advance, which seemed a little too much. However, after the capture, if you do pre-sale, you will sell it lower and the policy is more preferential. I believe someone will be attracted by it.

Liu Jiyun is now equivalent to Chongzhen's secretary. In fact, Chongzhen also thinks of Liu Jiyun in this way. The secretary then began to state the pre-sale plan for Taiwan's land:

"Mr. Xia, 20% of the newly reclaimed land in Taiwan that can be reclaimed into fertile land shall be controlled by the Taiwan Administration and 80% shall be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue will send a Taiwan land management agency to Taiwan to jointly measure and manage the newly reclaimed land. This part of the land handed over to the Ministry of Revenue will be auctioned nationwide. Now the price of a mu of good paddy field is four taels of silver. These lands in the plains of Taiwan can be reclaimed into the best paddy field, and of course sugar can also be planted. The price of the sale of the fur land is 30% off for the best paddy field, one tael and two taels of silver. These fields can be exempted from land tax for three years. This move is certainly to enrich the national treasury, but on the other hand, it is also to attract people from some densely populated areas of the Ming Dynasty to migrate to Taiwan. Otherwise, there is a shortage of manpower, so how can we build a granary!"

If you take back Taiwan, you can’t make a note! At least the military expenses for attacking Taiwan must be recovered, not to mention that the Japanese threats are coming, the top priority is to raise a lot of funds to develop the money-burning military industry.

Liu Jiyun picked up the command stick again, pointed to the sand table, and said:

"Mr. Xia, Taiwan has a rich mineral deposit. There are two large coal mines in the north and central areas, so you don't have to worry about firing cement. There are gold and copper mines near the chicken coop, and there are copper mines in Taitung. The Ministry of Revenue is also responsible for the mining of gold and copper mines. The mining is based on the investment of funds and manpower, which is based on who successfully bids and who is responsible for investing in capital and manpower. Therefore, Lord Xia does not have to worry about it. Once the mining is started, Taiwan will be more prosperous."

After hearing Liu Jiyun's introduction, Xia Yunyi thought that Taiwan is really a treasure land. He thought that going to Taiwan was equivalent to exile, but now it seems that he has made great achievements. So he turned his worries into joy and took his post happily.
Chapter completed!
