Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 724
He knew that people in Europa spoke very straightforwardly, so he didn't beat around the bush. They were just a few businessmen, and it didn't affect him at all whether they let them go or not.

And according to his understanding of the Dutch, this sea coachman was not built. Their country is a merchant association, and the king is one of them. This association has no other interest, but likes to make money and do business.

It is also for this reason that in the end, the Netherlands was defeated by the rising star England after only less than 100 years of glory.

Problems that can be solved by money are not problems. Several Dutch businessmen knew this well, and Liu Hongjian even thought of a way for them to save money for them.

If they were willing to go to Zeelandia to persuade Owat to surrender, not only would they not have to pay extra ransom, but the goods would also be returned to them intact.

Liu Hongjian was just talking casually, as if he himself disdained such traitorous behavior, and he didn't expect these Dutch people to agree.

But who would have thought that these Dutch businessmen's eyes lit up as soon as they heard it, and they immediately agreed to take a trip, which made Liu Hongjian see the bottom line of these businessmen.

But Liu Hongjian didn't think Owat would surrender obediently, but he was always unwilling to try, in case a miracle happened.

In order to guard against these unscrupulous guys taking the opportunity to run away, Liu Hongjian set a limit of three hours. If they failed to return on time, all the sailors on their merchant ships would be killed.

In fact, Liu Hongjian was thinking too much. Although the Dutch businessmen had no country in their hearts, they were still very trustworthy in doing business.

But He Bin didn't forget to say hello to those Dutch people and ask them to help find out the whereabouts of their family members. Whether it is life or death, he is always prepared.

After the Dutch businessmen left, Liu Hongjian found Chang Yu from the Guards, and ordered him to lead a sniper team to ambush around the city of Zeelandia. kill.

The 30-member sniper team is all equipped with special sights made by the Ordnance Institute. Although the accuracy needs to be improved, it can already achieve a good sniper effect at a distance of 500 meters.

Yang Tianbao, the captain of the sniper team, can even hit 80.00% of the shots at a distance of [-] steps.

It's not that he didn't think that he would go to Zeelandia with these Dutch businessmen. If he doesn't go into the tiger's den, he won't catch a tiger. With his ability, as long as he sees Owat, he can just take out the AKM from the ring.

You can go in the tiger's lair, but the problem is how to get out. If you kill Ouwat, you probably have to explain it to yourself.

After much deliberation, Liu Hongjian simply gave up thinking about it, and immediately took several personal guards to the top of Chixian City.

There are more than 4000 Han people living in Chixian City. Most of these people work on farming. Not only do they have to pay heavy taxes to the Dutch, they are even used as coolies to carry goods.

The arrival of the Ming army first boosted the morale of these Han people. Before the expedition, Liu Hongjian explained to Qin Gongming that, except for the Dutch, after entering the city, no one should be harmed for no reason.

After the city was stabilized, all the Han people gathered at the top of the city. They were waiting for the imperial court's order, whether to bring them back to the mainland of Ming Dynasty, or allow them to stay here, and the imperial court's policy towards them was their concern.

"My fellow citizens, it is a great honor to stand here and tell you that Ryukyu has been restored. From today onwards, you will get rid of the oppression of the Dutch and own this land as a proud citizen of Ming Dynasty."

Looking at the people in the city, Liu Hongjian had mixed feelings in his heart.

As a reformer of the empire, he could speak coldly to courtiers, but he really couldn't show arrogance to these poor people at the bottom.

A considerable part of the Han people in Ryukyu came here to open up wasteland with the old Zheng Zheng Zhilong. At that time, the old Zheng offered three people and one cow, and also gave additional subsidies.

It can be said that these people are the real pioneers of Ryukyu.

"This king announces in the name of the King of Anguo County of the Ming Dynasty that Ryukyu will be renamed Taiwan from today, and will be a province of the Ming Dynasty, and will be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty forever.

And you, as the first batch of people in the Taiwan province, this king, on behalf of His Majesty the Ming Emperor, announces that all recorded fertile land will be exempted from land tax for two years, and all newly opened acres will be exempted from land tax for three years. "

In fact, there were several names for Taiwan at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court officially called it Ryukyu, the folks called it Dongfan, and some called it Taiwan and Dayuan. These names were not unified as Taiwan until Qingkang Mazi.

Liu Hongjian knew what these people wanted, and what they thought and thought was nothing more than to have enough food, to have dignity, and to keep their children from starving.

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Hongjian finished speaking, the people in the city knelt down on their knees to express their gratitude.

Most of the people have lived here for more than [-] years, nearly a generation, and already have a sense of belonging to this place, and many people are reluctant to let them go back to the mainland.

They don't care whether this place is called Ryukyu, Dongfan, or Taiwan, they only care about how the court arranges them.

Their worst worries had disappeared, and the imperial court had also exempted them from their land tax, which made them overjoyed.

That night, the Dutch businessmen came back on time. As Liu Hongjian expected, Owat in Zeelandia didn't see them at all, which made several Dutch businessmen very angry.

In fact, Liu Hongjian felt that it was good luck for these guys to come back alive. He couldn't understand why Owat let them back.

But this is not important, the problem is still not resolved, Liu Hongjian's food is not good.

"Admiral, there is a foreigner outside who wants to see you." Qin Gongming whispered at the door seeing that the light in Liu Hongjian's room was still on.

"Fans?"

"Yes, my lord, it seems to be from the Gaoshan tribe."

……

PS: To put it simply, the first half of the chapter on recovering Taiwan actually reproduces the general context of Zheng Chenggong's Taiwan naval battle, including the character He Bin and the difficulties Zheng Chenggong encountered back then.

It's not that Hanhan doesn't want to write something different, but the battle when Zheng Chenggong attacked Taiwan was really interesting. To describe it in four words, it is the chapter name of the first two chapters, God Bless China.

If you want to know more about it, I suggest that book lovers can read Teacher Gao Xiaosong’s Xiao Shuo. There are three issues in it that are devoted to the Taiwan naval battle, including Zheng Chenggong’s dormancy after he captured Puluo Minzhai.

Of course, the next fight against Zelanzhe will definitely not be like Zheng Chenggong's, which has been struggling for a year.

Han Han believes that the key point lies in the Gaoshan people. If Zheng Chenggong hadn't had the food problem, he wouldn't have turned against the Gaoshan people.

The Gaoshan people were still in the primitive tribal stage at that time, and they were still very powerful purely in terms of force, as anyone who has seen Seediq Bale should know.
