Dragon Sea Empire

Ships sailing from Quanzhou Port, Fujian Province.Usually go through the Golden Gate.Xun Bing, the inspection department stationed in Kinmen, is actually stationed there all year round.All the officials in the Quanzhou government knew about it.This force has ten large gunboats.Several clippers and boats.It belongs to the Second Fleet of the Navy under the Qianhu Yinfeng in Taiwan on the other side of the strait.The Chinese Army is called the First Squadron internally.

Kinmen Inspection Department City is the nearest sea base of China United Company to the mainland.

Most of the yamen servants, subordinate officials, and regiments in Quanzhou Prefecture are actually members of the Chinese company.It's just that the flag of the Ming court is still hanging on the surface.

Midsummer.Typhoons in Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong are still frequent.often cause disasters.The land part of Fujian Chief Secretary is due to the geographical characteristics of eight mountains, one water and one field.When there is a disaster, there will be famine.Hungry people wander around.Threatening the "harmonious" society of Ming Dynasty.

However, in recent years, there has been a wave of immigrants in Fujian; groups of poor men and women flock to the seaside.Take a sea boat at one of the hundreds of harbors along the coast of Fujian.Crossed the Taiwan Strait to Taiwan; some people continued to travel by boat.Some went south to Luzon.Or Borneo, Sumatra, Java and other places in Southeast Asia; some go north to Ryukyu and Jeju Island.

Under the rule of the Chinese company.The peasants at least had enough to eat.Although it is very tiring to work in farms, plantations, mines, and factories in various places.But they can get paid; the farmers in the farmland have to be serfs for a few years at the beginning.Then you can become a tenant of the Chinese company or a tenant of farmers and landlords in various places; the tenant who cultivates the company's land can pay the full rent for five consecutive years (three years on Luzon Island).Perpetual tenancy rights can be obtained.Families serving in the military can receive preferential treatment.After retiring from the army, you can get the land that is completely your own.and.According to the size of military merit.The land allocated is also different.It can also be converted into shares of Chinese companies.

These policies are for those landless peasants and refugees.Preferential conditions that tenant farmers under the pressure of exorbitant taxes could not resist.

therefore.This year, there are many storms and floods.The number of immigrants to Taiwan has also increased.Nearly 8000 people crossed the sea to Taiwan in one month.This year.Zheng Zhilong, the nephew of Huang Cheng, the major shareholder of the company, came to Taiwan.He was specially approved by Yin Feng to study in the military academy.

This year.A teenager named Shi Daxuan also came to Taiwan.Signed up at the recruiting office at the Wharf of Elf Harbor.Was recruited into the navy fleet as a sailor.This Shi Daxuan is the father of Shi Lang in the original historical time and space.

the same year.Guo Huaiyi from Tong'an, Quanzhou, Fujian also came to Taiwan.After being fooled by the company's recruiters.Boarded a merchant ship bound for Luzon.Go to work on the sugar cane plantations owned by the company in Luzon.Because of his boldness and bravery.Became the small leader of the Zhuang Ding team.The original historical time and space.He once raised the flag against the Dutch in Taiwan.

The fate of many people has changed irresistibly.And the Ming court is still walking towards the end of a dynasty according to its own inertia.

Yin Feng returned to Taiwan and Hong Kong relatively low-key.Accompanied by Taiwanese native soldiers.The divisions of the First Brigade will return to Taiwan.And Li Xing's third regiment will be stationed in Luzon.Zhao Xuanming's Fourth Regiment and Yan Siqi's Nanyang Task Force will be stationed in various colonies in Nanyang for the time being.Chen Zhongji has been transferred back to the company headquarters in Taiwan.The defense of the northern Ryukyu and Jeju Islands will be managed by Fan Tao, commander of the Northern First Fleet.Today's Ryukyu.Ordinary people still think that King Zhongshan is still giving orders.The general officials and the gentry class have long acquiesced to the reality of the actual rule of the Chinese company.

In January 1614, Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered the expulsion of missionaries in Japan in the Proclamation of Development.And began to persecute Japanese Catholics on a large scale.The secret messenger of the shogunate is waiting for Yin Feng to come back at the headquarters of Zhonghua Company in Taiwan.

Ieyasu Tokugawa is old.Before he passed away, the one who was most worried was the Toyotomi family in Osaka Castle.He couldn't wait to get rid of the last worries of the Tokugawa family.Now.The incident of the inscription on the bell of Fangguang Temple in Kyoto has already caused a lot of trouble.This incident is a typical example of "there is nothing wrong with wanting to add a crime".Out of thin air, the Tokugawa family was given a chance to finally deal with the Toyotomi family.

The emissary of the Tokugawa family who came to see Yin Feng was Itakura Shigemasa, a senior minister of the Tokugawa family.There is also Nosuke Xiaolan, the clerk.They are all old acquaintances who once negotiated with the Chinese Army on the disposal of Shimadzu's family in Kyushu.

Itakura Shigemasao and Xiao Lanzhisuke followed the rules of meeting daimyo.Show courtesy to Yin Feng like a ritual.

Accompanying the two of them was Xu Xinsu, the treasurer of the Chinese company's shop in Japan.He is now a freelance translator.

The envoy of the Tokugawa family first congratulated Yin Feng on his defeat of the Ganla people.Then Ieyasu Tokugawa requested a report.Yin Feng listened to Xu Xinsu's translation.Looking at Shigemasa Itakura, who is less than 30 years old, he smiled and said, "Master Itakura. According to the terms agreed between your general and us in Satsuma. In the past two years, we have successively put down ten bronze cannons at the lowest price. The price was half sold and half given to you. Now you suddenly demand to supply you with 20 cannons within half a year. Then the price can no longer be the same as before."

……

Just as Yin Feng was slamming the Japanese for a bamboo stick.In the most bustling and bustling market area in Taiwan.A group of people walked among the crowd very strikingly.

Before this group of people cleared the way were four dark-skinned men.A big black man of Bantu ethnicity in East Africa.They just stop there.The bustling crowd naturally gave way.

behind them.A little girl who looks like a jade carving is lingering in a snack stall.Two maid-like girls in long silk dresses were accompanying her.Bargain with the vendor.behind them.Two big men in black stood there.Seriously watching the passing crowd.There seems to be something tucked in the bulging waist.

The little girl was about four or five years old.She has a round head and a round brain, and she wears bracelets on her chubby hands and feet.Wearing a red bellyband.Walking has always been "walking" while running.The braids on the back of the head flicked to the ground.Because the little girl has no rules at all when she walks.Turning back and forth from left to right.As a result, her loyal bodyguards also had to try to follow her.Block the crowd from all directions for her.There was quite a commotion in the street.

After the pedestrians discovered the mastermind of the disturbance.Not annoyed by it.They were all very happy to make way for the rampaging little girl.

A new hawker asked his companion who set up the stall together: "Brother Qian, what's going on. Whose girl needs so many companions to accompany her on the street."

A middle-aged hawker surnamed Qian runs a fruit stall.He said contemptuously to the interrogator: "Brother, you have been here for several months. Does the mastermind know who this little princess is?"

"Little princess. This is. Could it be the daughter of Captain Yin's family?"

"It's not this little aunt. Who else is there? This Ms. Yin's nickname is Liangliang. She likes to be lively. She comes to the market area every other day to go shopping." Brother Qian said with a smile.Take out a few sections of cut and washed sugar cane from your cargo load.Shouting to the little girl from a distance: "Miss, come and eat sugarcane. The sugarcane is round and long. It is hot and yang. It is sweet and delicious. There is always a discussion."

His yelling really attracted the little girl Liangliang.She walked over waddlingly.The big black man and the man in black beside him immediately followed.

A thin servant girl came to hold the little girl's hand.Smiling, he asked Brother Qian, "Brother, where did you get your sugar cane? Miss likes to eat crunchy and sweet Luzon..."

"That's right. Miss. This is the sugar cane from Luzon. Fresh. Just shipped from Luzon. There are also olives here. They are from Yazhou, Hainan. Come. Miss, come and taste..."

The maid shook her head: "Olive tastes bitter. Don't..."

The little girl stretched out her hand.Grabbed the olives handed over by Brother Qian.Say firmly: "I want to eat."

Brother Qian laughed happily: "The little princess is still sensible. Look. My olives have sharp ends. I salivate when I see them. It tastes sour in the mouth. The more you chew, the sweeter it becomes. Come here. I'll give you a taste of this section of sugarcane too. The sugarcane is long. The olive is sharp. The yin and yang are matched together. It is called Hehe Shuangmei Wan. It is very beneficial. It is delicious. This eldest sister, you should try it too."

The servant girl blushed.He spat at Brother Qian.Pull up Miss Yin Liangliang and leave.The little girl stood firm and refused to leave: "No. I want to eat olives."

The maid had no choice but to buy a large bag of olives from Brother Qian.Before leaving, Brother Qian insisted on giving the sugar cane to each of Miss Yin's bodyguards.Everyone can't shirk it and accept it.But before leaving, he still left half a tael of silver for Brother Qian.

Around this hawker area.They are all restaurants.It's the middle of the summer at this moment.Every restaurant is full.Business is surprisingly good

The second floor of Leshanlou Nancheng branch.A seat by the window.Zhang Fenglai, the deputy envoy of Haidao, and Luo Pingwei, the military commander of Xingquan, Fujian Province, turned into two businessmen drinking.They had only two guards with them.It has been two days since Weifu private visit came to Taiwan.

Haidao's deputy envoy is a fourth-rank official.Xingquan soldiers prepare for the fifth-rank official.These two officials came to Taiwan Inspection Department for inspection.I am afraid this is the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.It turned out that the two were ordered by the governor general.I want to swagger to Taiwan for inspection.Unfortunately, no ship is willing to carry them to Taiwan.Whether it is a merchant ship or a fishing boat.No matter how much money the government pays, they are unwilling to go to sea.Once forced by official majesty.These people simply threw away their boats and fled; and the officers and soldiers of the navy in various water villages along the coast.I heard that we are going to sail to Taiwan.There was a mutiny almost immediately.Zhang Fenglai, deputy envoy of Haidao, just sent someone to hear the news about Wuyu Water Village.Can it be transported to Taiwan by navy ships?As a result, Wuyu Water Village reported that a fire accidentally broke out in the village the next day.Ships were wrecked.Nothing can be done.

result.Zhang Fenglai stayed in Chaozhou, Quanzhou and other places for a full three months.Still couldn't get on the boat and go to sea.

In the end, it was his fellow junior brother Luo Pingwei of Fujian Xingquan Bingbei Road who came up with an idea.Weibo private visit.

Although it feels embarrassing.However, the experience of these three months made Zhang Fenglai, deputy envoy of Haidao, very interested in Taiwan.Feel free to take the risk.And in case something happens, you can also show your identity.After all, the group opposite claimed to belong to the people of Ming Dynasty.He shouldn't have done anything against a fifth-rank official of the imperial court.
