Before Hou Xuanyan took power, Dongfan Island was a wilderness in the eyes of the court, and he didn't want to give it to him for nothing.

Therefore, after the Ming Dynasty defeated the Dutch Red Hair, it did not station in Taiwan, but gave the treasure island to the Red Hair.

After Shi Lang took down Dongfan Island, he first brought all the navy Zheng Du and the one he led back to Fujian, and then left his confidant to continue to operate the island.

The Fujian Navy received the salary of the court, and all the middle and lower-level officers were from the Fuzhou Martial Arts Hall. Shi Lang was not sure that he could control this navy, even though he was the admiral of the navy.

However, the ones he left on the island were not only his relatives and his confidant family, but also his former retainers of the Zheng family. Zheng Du was brought by himself, so the island was still the Shi family's world. As long as he developed quietly for a few years, Shi Lang was confident that he could restore his strength during the Zheng Zhilong period.

On the boat back to Fuzhou, Zheng Du could not see any emotion at all, as if the person in front of him had always been his Shangguan, not their former general.

Pour a glass of wine into the rhinoceros horn cup, Zheng Du respectfully brought it to Shi Lang and smiled and said, "Sir, I think you seem to be worried."

Shi Lang didn't hold an air either. Zheng Du was cruel and vicious, but he was indeed talented. Shi Lang had a high opinion of himself and felt that he could suppress him. Zheng Du was a talent in his eyes.

"Hou Xuanyan is different from others. He is quite like Taizu in the past. It is difficult to hide anything from his eyes. This time I go back to Fuzhou, I feel really unsure..." Shi Lang pinched the wine glass with a sad face.

"Sir, don't be afraid. Our plan is to recuperate. We have been a lackey for Li Chengliang for many years, but later we did not turn our backs. Since we were returning to Fuzhou with this purpose, why worry?" Zheng Du lay half-lying on the deck seat in a comfortable manner and said leisurely.

Shi Lang really made sense when he heard it, but his heart was still empty. After putting down his wine glass, he stood up and walked to the side of the boat, looking at the vast sea. Only the vast ocean could give him a sense of security.

At this time, in Jinling City, Qianxiang Camp analyzed and commented on Shi Lang's words and deeds in the camp one by one, and placed them on Hou Xuanyan's desk.

From Zheng Du and Shi Lang's conversation that night to now withdrawing troops and filling the people, they have enclosed a large piece of land on Dongfan Island, called "Shihou Rent a Countryside", which accounts for almost half of the land that has been reclaimed in Tainan. If others want to survive, they can only rent Shihou's land, and they have to pay rent for farming.

Hou Xuanyan sneered, this guy wanted to learn from Dorgon. He regarded landing on the island as entering the territory and was still playing around with the territories.

What Hou Xuanyan didn't know was that in previous history, he had really concealed the court. The Shi family collected rent for two hundred years in Taiwan. After Shi Lang died, the local government in Taiwan was responsible for collecting this part of the rent and then transported it to Beijing to hand it over to each generation of the Shi family's owner. With the property saved by Shi Lang, the Shi family's children lived a pampered life from the Kangxi Dynasty to the Guangxu Dynasty.

Hou Xuanyan is not Kang Mazi, so he will definitely not tolerate Taiwan's important place becoming Shi Lang's treasure pot. The island of the Age of Discovery is worth thousands of warships.

In Fujian, Chen Changzhi, who had just made great contributions, was the one who was ordered to go there. This guy killed corpses everywhere in the southwest, killing more than a dozen hospitality and law-abiding southwest nations.

Hou Xuanyan had already asked for his contributions and was promoted to the commander of the Qianxiang Camp's South Camp, making up for the vacancy after Zhao Yuanhua's high promotion.

At the Fuzhou Port, the moment Shi Lang's ship landed, the port was as usual.

All the well-known gentry and celebrities in Fuzhou came to welcome the heroes of the Zheng family who pacified Dongfan Island. From then on, it can be foreseen that this port will bring them endless wealth.

After Shi Lang got off the boat, he put away the panic in his heart and walked towards the crowd with a smile. Suddenly he found a group of people pushing away the crowd and coming out.

Chen Changzhi's subordinates are so eye-catching. Qianxiang Camp has two sets of clothing. A set of black clothes and black armor can perfectly integrate into the night. It is as low-key as it should be. A set of bright red and gorgeous brocade clothes is really bright clothes and angry horses. It is usually a person who executes the open face, which shocks the little girl to show off her power.

At this time, the people brought by Chen Changzhi were the latter set of clothes, which was like a little red in the green bushes in the crowd, which was very unobstructed.

Chen Changzhi came out from the crowd and came to Shi Lang. His official position was greater than that of the Fujian Navy Admiral. He smiled and said, "Congratulations to Admiral Shi for making such a great contribution. The prince set up a celebration banquet in the capital and specially ordered me to take you to Jinling. Admiral Shi, let's go?"

Shi Lang's face was gloomy and sunny. Even Zheng Du, who had always been calm, trembled with his fingers. The crowd was noisy and silent.

Shi Lang shirked the blame: "Since the prince has an order, I must not refuse to obey, but the official is on Dongfan Island, and there are still some books and accounts to be handed over to the prince. I thought I would take them again when I return to Beijing. Now, I'll go back."

Chen Changzhi felt even more convinced that this guy was cheating, and said with a smile: "I don't think there is any need for this. The prince knew all the accounts of Dongfan Island. Even the prince knew about the 'Shi Hou Rent'. Admiral Shi would better go with me."

Shi Lang held the hilt of the sword in his hand and retreated to the deck, saying, "This matter is very important. I must hand it over to the prince myself. When I return to the island, I will go to Jinling. Please come back first." Zheng Du and others also followed him to the port.

After Shi Lang said that, he was about to board the ship, but two navy generals stopped in front of the deck and said coldly: "Sir, how can you refuse to obey if the prince ordered you? Let's go to Jinling first."

"Are you two going to rebel?" Shi Lang's tone was already a little anxious, and he spoke without saying a word.

"Rebellion? There are indeed people who want to rebel, but it's not them. I think there is someone else." Chen Changyi waved his hand, and the spy behind him rushed forward, drawing his sword in his hand and was about to kill someone.

Shi Lang commanded thousands of troops, calm and composed in the naval battle, and was at all famous naval battles in the world. If Chen Changzhi had faced him, he would probably have little chance of winning. But if he talked about street killing, Shi Lang's confidant and Zheng Du's confidant combined would not be as small as Qianxiang Camp.

Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swished all the people around Shi Lang, and after being tempted the poison, the blue steel needle was lost in the power of movement a few seconds after being inserted into the human body.

Chen Changzhi said leisurely: "Come on, invite Admiral Shi to our arrogance and send Gong to Jinling."

The spies from Qianxiang Camp stepped forward and subdued Shi Lang in a few strokes. As for Zheng Du and others, they had already been thrown into the sea with a knife.

The gentry and celebrities around him had never experienced the Northern Expedition, and the first time they saw such a bloody scene, they were silent.

Chen Changzhi's subordinates held Shi Lang, held his arm and walked forward.

A poisonous needle penetrated his body silently.

------

Shi Lang died, Hou Xuanyan did not pursue anyone, but just took back his "Shi Houtian Renting Garden" and drove Shi Lang's family away from Dongfan Island.

Dongfan Island was renamed "Taiwan Prefecture" and transferred to Fujian. The first prefect was a survivor of Jiading and Fan Xian, who made contributions to Songjiang, was actually managed by Gong Zifang, the Minister of Revenue.

Between Japan and Taiwan, there is a smaller island country called Ryukyu.

Ryukyu was originally a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but it was actually occupied by Japan for many years. Among the friendly alliances between Hou Xuanyan and Japan, the first contract was: Japan recognized that Ryukyu was indeed completely independent and autonomous, so any system of independent losses would be abolished, such as the country requested troops from Japan to garrison, and the country contributed ceremonies to Japan.

At that time, everyone knew that Ryukyu was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty that Japan robbed, and they didn't care much about this, so they regarded it as the Ming Dynasty humiliated Japan for the sake of face.

Only the Ryukyu royal family was overjoyed. After the Japanese Satsuma family was driven away, the Ryukyu king wrote letters every day and sent people to Jinling to pay tribute, hoping to help him restore the kingdom.

In October of the second year of Jingyou, the prince of Ryukyu, Shangzhi, sent his uncle Ma Zongyi to lead a congratulatory mission to Jinling. In addition to the gifts brought to the emperor and Hou Xuanyan, the mission also brought a presentation, memorial and seal of the Ming Dynasty. He hoped that he could restore his rule over the entire archipelago.

Hou Xuanyan said politely: "The Ryukyu royal family is unable to protect their people, and the Ryukyu people are unwilling to worship others as kings. From today on, they will be incorporated into our Ming Dynasty territory and transferred to Taiwan Prefecture and become Ryukyu County."

As early as forty years ago, the Japanese Satsuma clan led troops to invade Ryukyu and forced Ryukyu to pay tribute to Japan. The Ryukyu Kingdom formed a "two-class" state, and they were later gradually controlled by the Satsuma clan and became vassals of the Satsuma clan. Of course, Hou Xuanyan had no interest, and spent a lot of effort to restore the country to a group of so-called royal families.

Ma Zongyi knocked on the ground with one head, crying and begging Hou Xuanyan not to bully the weak country like this, crying with tears. It is the one who hears it and the one who sees it.

Hou Xuanyan sneered: "In the past, there were three small countries in Ryukyu. Emperor Taizu Gao sent his traveler Yang Zai to issue an edict to your Ryukyu Three Kingdoms, and you will pay tribute. The three small countries at that time were all enthroned by Emperor Taizu Gao, so why did you destroy them for no reason? At that time, have you ever told those two countries about benevolence, righteousness and morality? After all, it is your Shang family, which violates the imperial edict of Emperor Taizu Gao and abolishes your royal status. It is already a great kindness. If you dare to entangle, I will throw you all into the sea to feed the fish."

Ma Zongyi didn't dare to make a fuss and stared blankly at the young prince in front of him, feeling mixed feelings.

I originally thought that the Ming Dynasty was still the giant who wanted face but not the inner world. This time I was planning to make a fortune in the Ming Dynasty, but who knew that even the country was lost.

These small countries came to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, and they have always been profitable, and the profits are not small.

In fact, in a strict sense, the Ming Dynasty will not suffer any loss in tribute. If those tribute come with goods, they must first see whether you are a big country or a small country. If you are a big country, you will give half of it first and give it to the Ming Dynasty, and then the remaining half will be handed over to the emperor. It is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty robbing the rich and helping the poor. Because some small countries have brought too few things. In order to show their generosity, the Ming Dynasty did not charge you tariffs and sent a lot of good things out. However, the Ming Dynasty also knew that the business was a loss, so it limited the number of tributes in small countries, such as once every two years every five years.

It is not a loss for those larger countries to visit the missions. They may have bought 20,000 yuan of goods. In the Ming Dynasty, they had to sell 100,000 yuan, but in the Ming Dynasty, they could also sell 100,000 yuan of goods when they returned 20,000 yuan, so both sides made 80,000 yuan of people. This means that the cooperation between the two parties is mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation. If you come often, I often give it to you. This is not good.

Therefore, every country likes to come to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, and emperors of the Ming Dynasty were happy to promote their achievements of "all nations come to the court", which is essentially a series of businesses.

Japan is an exception. Because of the Japanese pirates, the relationship between the two sides was very poor. The Ming Dynasty was particularly bad at the tribute of Japan. Because the chopping was too fierce, the Japanese missions could not bear it, so they wanted to commit suicide. The Ming government could only give money to settle the matter. Later, the incident of the Japanese missions plundering Zhejiang occurred, which led to the rebellion between the two sides becoming enemies.

This time, Hou Xuanyan directly abolished the Ryukyu royal family and turned the country into a county, which was even more excessive than the Japanese Satsuma vassal.

Although there were some objections in the court, because he is now in a vast power and is constantly expanding territory, he has accused him.

In this way, the Ryukyu Kingdom, which had existed for more than 200 years, completely became a county. Between Jiuzhou Island and Taiwan Island, it became an inalienable part of the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Ma Zongyi and the so-called Ryukyu mission were ready to return to the island together with the ships of the Ryukyu County Magistrate of the Ming Dynasty.

After doing all this, Hou Xuanyan lay happily on the chair, closed his eyes and an empire that spanned the entire East Coast, which already had all the ports to go to sea.

Japan, Ming Dynasty, Ryukyu, Taiwan, and the navy were completely connected. The Dutch people could not get involved in any of the Franji people. The seas in the east were from the Orient, and to be more specific, they were from the Han people.

Hou Xuanyan has the knowledge of later generations and the coastline comparable to the entire continent. There is nothing in the world that cannot be done. When the conquest of Liao is successful, he will fight northward and get the Bering Strait... The American continent is right in front of him.

When Hou Xuanyan, who was lying on the Grand Master's chair, was dreaming, the personal soldiers outside clasped their fists and said, "Prince, there are a few more small countries' missions."

Hou Xuanyan asked happily: "Who is giving the gift again? Let me see if I can set up another county."

"It's Franchise Man and Red Hair... and the Dutch." The soldiers all knew what Hou Xuanyan called, so they slowly abandoned discriminatory words and changed to the Dutch.

Hou Xuan stood up and said to himself: "I just punished Shi Lang and took down Taiwan Island. These people rushed over like flies, their noses were really good. Speaking of which, Macau is still in the hands of the Portuguese, and it's time to come to Macau County."
