The 1030th chapter captures Taiwan (5)

The barrenness of Taiwan Island was beyond Qiao Mingjun's expectation, and the Dutch's crazy money-making here caused huge trauma to the people of Taiwan, which made Qiao Mingjun angry. It was very common to be without food and clothing. Here,

, he seemed to see the barren Dengzhou and Laizhou of the past. You must know that those were Dengzhou and Laizhou that experienced the Denglai mutiny.

After originally preparing to capture Taiwan Island, Denglai Navy immediately set off in the direction of Fujian to attack the Zheng Family Navy. However, the actual situation on Taiwan Island prevented him from leaving immediately and defeated the Dutch, or in other words, completely ended the Dutch.

To control Taiwan Island, if the Denglai Navy leaves at this moment, Taiwan Island will fall into an even more chaotic and desolate situation.

In other words, Qiao Mingjun must stabilize the situation on Taiwan Island before he can leave with peace of mind.

As a foreign land of the Ming Dynasty, Taiwan Island has never been taken seriously. During the Jiajing period, the Ming Dynasty established a government, four counties and three states in Taiwan. Later, due to the rampant pirates and Japanese pirates, the Ming Dynasty implemented the policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country.

People from Taiwan Island and even those around the coast all moved to places like Quanzhou and Zhangzhou in Fujian, completely abandoning Taiwan. After that, they did not set up any government offices or send any officials to Taiwan Island, causing Taiwan Island to become a pirate colony.

Zheng Zhilong, a pirate, actually controlled the island of Taiwan for a period of time. After surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong shifted the focus of the Zheng family to Quanzhou, Fujian, and basically gave up control of the island.

During the Tianqi and Chongzhen years, the island of Taiwan was controlled by the Spanish and the Dutch. Later, the Dutch defeated the Spanish and took full control of the island. Now, the Denglai Navy completely defeated the Dutch and took control of the entire island of Taiwan.

The number of local residents on the island of Taiwan is not very large, and the majority of the people who immigrated to Taiwan account for the majority. In order to oppose the exploitation of the island by the Dutch and Spanish, these people rebelled several times, but their strength was too weak.

Any resistance will be met with ruthless killing.

There are many Dutch people on the island of Taiwan, many of whom are merchants, and there are also some missionaries operating across Taiwan. After the Denglai Navy defeated the Dutch army and took control of the island, the Han people on the island hated the oppression of the Dutch.

, began to stand up and massacre the Dutch living in various places, as well as the slaves of these Dutch. Many Dutch were forced to flee to Taiwan City, Chican City, Jelanje City and Keelung Port to seek Denglai Navy.

After all, the sergeants of the Denglai Navy would not kill people casually.

This made the situation on Taiwan Island even more chaotic and made Qiao Mingjun even more anxious.

When Guo Huaiyi, known as the leader of the Han settlement, was brought to Taiwan City, Qiao Mingjun was already ready for everything.

The emperor's order to Qiao Mingjun was very clear. Three prefectures, one state and seven counties were established on Taiwan Island. The three prefectures were Taipei Prefecture, Taiwan Prefecture and Tainan Prefecture, and the one prefecture was Taitung Prefecture. Among them, the conditions for Taiwan Prefecture and Tainan Prefecture were

It is slightly better, followed by Taipei Prefecture, and the worst is Taitung Prefecture. When establishing a government office, be sure to dispatch capable officials to properly govern Taiwan Island, and the entire Taiwan Island will serve as a maritime trade distribution center for the Wu Dynasty, as well as for external affairs.

Trading platform.

Qiao Mingjun understands what the emperor means. The so-called platform for foreign trade is rather a platform for the expansion of foreign commerce. The emperor once said that the Wu Dynasty needs a lot of help and a lot of money. These help and money are not only

It comes from both the inside and the outside. When the time comes, Taiwan Island will be the most important base.

Qiao Mingjun has already thought carefully about the chief officer of Fuzhou County. He will be selected from among the officers of the Denglai Navy. The emperor has decided on the candidates for the chief officer and will follow Qiao Mingjun in the expedition. However, these chief officers are not familiar with the situation on Taiwan Island.

, they must have Taiwanese locals to help them. At the same time, Qiao Mingjun also decided to dispatch two thousand sergeants to temporarily station on Taiwan Island to ensure the security and stability of Taiwan Island.

Taiwan Island is rich in cane sugar, which is also the main business transaction of the Dutch on Taiwan Island. Most of the cane sugar grown on Taiwan Island is sold overseas through maritime trade, and a small part of it is sold to land. After Qiao Mingjun settled the accounts,

It was discovered that the profits from sucrose were huge. If the sucrose trade was well controlled, the court could obtain a large amount of profits from it.

As for the money, food and other expenses that the government will need after Taiwan establishes government agencies at all levels, there is not much of a problem. After the Denglai Navy defeated the Dutch army, it obtained a large amount of money. Part of this money can be retained, which is enough for government agencies at all levels in Taiwan.

A year or so of expenses, which also includes a lot of expenses to relieve the people of Taiwan Island. After a year, the imperial court has already unified the south, and can send a large number of officials to Taiwan Island to better govern it.

Qiao Mingjun's main task is to stabilize Taiwan Island.

As soon as Guo Huai arrived in Taiwan City, he came to the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion.

The so-called Governor's Office was the Government Office established by the Dutch when they took control of the island of Taiwan. Guo Huaiyi did not have the slightest fondness for the Government Office established by the Dutch.

Guo Huaiyi was not an original resident of Taiwan, but came to Taiwan by boat from the Fujian area. When he came to Taiwan, it was already dominated by the Dutch and Spanish. Guo Huaiyi didn't care about this at all.

He thought that as long as he farmed well, grew food well, earned money well, and lived a good life, it was a pity that his idea was completely destroyed by the Dutch and Spanish who ruled here.

The residents who immigrated to Taiwan Island were not able to live a good life. They encountered exploitation by the Dutch and Spanish and could not live a good life at all.

At this time, Guo Huaiyi, a master of farming, began to contact other Han Chinese who immigrated here. They planned to unite to deal with the Dutch in order to achieve the goal of living a good life.

It is a pity that they have encountered suppression from the Dutch many times. If they unite even slightly, they will encounter interrogation by the Dutch.

In terms of strength, Guo Huaiyi is not the Dutch's opponent, but Guo Huaiyi has enough fighting spirit. He believes that he can continue to fight the Dutch until he achieves the final victory.

The day came when the Dutch were completely defeated by the Denglai Navy of the Great Wu Dynasty. The Dutch on the island became street rats and were slaughtered by others. This was something that could not happen before.

Knowing that Admiral Qiao Mingjun of the Denglai Navy wanted to see him, Guo Huaiyi did not waste any time and immediately set off for Taiwan City. Now that Taiwan Island has become a Han people's world, he no longer has to look at the Dutch's faces to act.

.

When entering the Dudu's Mansion, Guo Huaiyi had a smile on his face.

Entering the lobby and seeing no one else, Guo Huai sat down abruptly.

When Qiao Mingjun entered the lobby, there was no smile on his face. The massacre of Dutch and Dutch slaves in various parts of Taiwan Island had something to do with Guo Huaiyi. After all, the Han people in Taiwan Island encountered too many Dutch people.

Bullying, when it breaks out suddenly, is astonishingly destructive.

However, Guo Huaiyi is the leader of the Han people's farming. He should know how to face a peaceful situation, at least not to kill too much. Unfortunately, Guo Huaiyi does not have such tolerance.

The performance of Guo Huaiyi when he entered the lobby just now made Qiao Mingjun disappointed again. He knew that Guo Huaiyi could not become the chief official of Fuzhou County, at least he did not have such ability and magnanimity yet.

"You are Guo Huaiyi, the leader of the Han people's farming..."

Seeing Qiao Mingjun entering the lobby, Guo Huai stood up and spoke with a smile.

"I am Guo Huaiyi, the leader of the Han people's farming is the name given to me by the brothers. Thank you for your support, brothers. You must be Mr. Qiao..."

The temperament of Guo Huaiyi made Qiao Mingjun murmur in his heart again, and he felt a bit of gangster energy.

"Guo Huaiyi, you immigrated to Taiwan Island. You were originally from Zhangzhou, Fujian Province. Before you came to Taiwan Island, you farmed in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province. You were quite a good hand and were familiar with field management. As for why you came here

I won’t say much about Taiwan Island, but even if you come to Taiwan Island, you should maintain the good habits you had in Zhangzhou before. Why did it change so fast..."

Guo Huaiyi was stunned. He felt the domineering power of Qiao Mingjun and also felt Qiao Mingjun's slight dissatisfaction.

It was impossible for Guo Huaiyi to forget his days in Zhangzhou, Fujian, but after coming to Taiwan and losing many of his restraints, he changed a lot, and his bad habits in the past were also exposed.

Qiao Mingjun's reminder made Guo Huaiyi suddenly feel a sense of fear in his heart, a feeling he hadn't had for many years.

Looking at Guo Huaiyi who turned pale, Qiao Mingjun spoke with a serious face.

"Guo Huaiyi, you need to know what fear is and the rules of doing things. In the past, you have been resisting the exploitation of the Dutch and Spanish on Taiwan Island, so your personality has undergone tremendous changes. I can understand this.

, but now the island of Taiwan is no longer ruled by the Dutch. If you still maintain that unruly and undisciplined temper, something will happen sooner or later."

Guo Huaiyi's body trembled slightly, and he clasped his fists at Qiao Mingjun, his movements were quite unfamiliar.

"Taiwan Island has encountered too many twists and turns. It needs stability in the future, so it needs people who are familiar with the situation here to govern it well. The imperial court has decided to establish three prefectures and one state in Taiwan, set up government offices, dispatch officials, and govern this place well. I

I plan to let you assist the officials sent by the imperial court to govern Taiwan."

"If you are willing, then go into the government to do things, and I will report it to the court specifically. But you have to remember that once you enter the government to do things, you are no longer an ordinary commoner, nor a Han leader who is stationed in the fields. You need to follow the instructions

You must be clear about what can and cannot be done according to the government's rules. If you violate the government's rules, you will be severely punished."

"Of course, if you don't want to, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Guo Huaiyi nodded desperately.
