Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

147. The problem of Lu Songyi

"You are the heads of the clubs." Looking at the more than [-] elders of the fan clubs in the second state, two counties, and the third appeasement division in front of him, Gu Tongshan, who was transferred to the division of Yingtian Division, sighed inconspicuously. "Many people had some friendship with this official at the beginning, but the master's idea has been made. If you don't want to collapse like Shi Lang's army, you should provide your household registration and registration as soon as possible."

In the mid-February of the 38th year of the Yongli calendar, Zheng Kezang issued a decree to all fan clubs to unify their publications. From the day when the summer tax was collected that year, each club will no longer be directly under the Department of Chengxuan, but will be established after the boundaries are drawn. , and become autonomous villages under the administration of the prefectures, counties, and appeasement divisions. Except for the head of the society, which can be elected by each society, the rest, including police power and judicial power, are all owned by the Mingzheng local government. The community is not allowed to own firearms, bows and arrows The safety of various weapons is guaranteed by soldiers and police from all over the country.In addition, the communes after the demarcation are not allowed to go beyond the boundaries to engage in activities such as reclamation, logging, and dam blocking. The young Shefans were also uniformly required to enroll in elementary schools, for which each household had to pay elementary school training.

In this way, for the low-productivity social groups, it is tantamount to intensified exploitation. For this reason, hundreds of social groups have sent their chiefs to petition Mingzheng to abolish the February edict. Officials at all levels in Mingzheng He also had doubts about the resurgence of the war in a short period of time and suggested to be cautious, but unexpectedly, Zheng Kezang appeared to be very tough. Affected by Zheng Kezang's attitude, Gu Tongshan had to express a consistent position with the lord.

"The lord said life or death, or the more miserable slavery, everything is in your choice."

In mid-March, the local community groups that had failed to petition began to rebel one after another. The scale of this rebellion was much larger than that of the 36th year of Yongli. Faced with the situation where there were police everywhere, Zheng Kezang immediately went on a killing spree.The divisions that had not yet been fully reorganized were ordered to attack in turn. Within a month, 21 communes were completely wiped out, and another 33 communes were forced to relocate to the depths of the Yushan Mountains. After being killed, they were forced to surrender again, and after being punished by reducing the community, they barely survived. Only the 240 seven communities were preserved because they did not rebel because of Zheng Jun's force or a high degree of Sinicization.After this change, Zheng Kezang not only completely incorporated the Pingpu Shefan in the plain area of ​​the west coast of Taiwan into Wanghua, but also seized nearly [-] Jia of cultivated land from the Pingpu Fan. Compared with the casualties of more than [-] people, it can be said that It has been rewarding.

At the time when the society was full of mourning, the Yingguili Commercial House quietly reopened. Zheng Kezang accepted the compensation of [-] black slaves from the Yingguili people at the price of returning the Feiting, and waited for the free black slaves to return. After the slaves and some of the black slaves who had worked in the sugarcane plantations were incorporated into the divisions, Zheng Kezang approved the discharge of [-] disabled and some meritorious slaves from the former Kunlun Biaozhong squad leader and charge officer, and generously awarded them Land near Cam Ranh Bay.

At the end of April, Zheng Kezang established Changhua County to the north of Zhuoshui Creek based on the nearly [-] criminal households who moved to the South and North Roads, and more than a thousand families who were transferred to serve as Pai Chang Jia Shou Baozheng. Dongnan Road Pingtung County was established in the old place of Pingtung County, and Tianxing and Wannian prefectures were transferred as counties. So far, Dongning has a total of six counties and two Pingsi Divisions.

"Lu Songyi promised to completely give up the territorial claims on the whole island of Dongning, Penghu, Ryukyu and other places, and agreed to assist the local business office in Manila Port to recruit Han people to return to Taiwan. enjoy the same treatment as the British, and help them sell goods in North Korea and Nagasaki." Xu Qing talked in front of Zheng Kezang and the political and senators of Zhengshitang, as if all this was done by him and not Ying Tainong, who bowed his head and said nothing, took the lead. "The barbarians from Luzon transport several shipments of gold and silver from Mexico every year, but now the mainland has imposed a sea ban, North Korea does not trade with barbarians at all, and the Japanese market can only sell a small amount of Japanese goods at high prices through the Satsuma port, so that the barbarians in Luzon can only be sold Forced to buy oriental goods at high prices from the Frenchmen, the Dutch, and even the British, it can be said that it is beneficial to them to reach an agreement with this feudal clan to set up shops and carry out normal trade. Obtaining gold and silver and relocating the population from Luzon are also two great benefits, so this department hopes to be approved by the Lord so that the two sides can exchange documents to implement the treaty."

"Helping Lu Songyi sell goods in North Korea and Nagasaki? Did you hear me wrong?" Ke Ping, who participated in politics, asked coldly. "It sounds like Benfan has gained the benefit of re-export, but why have I never heard that Lu Songyi has good things to sell?"

"Master Ke made a mistake. There are globes, zithers and Yijiao scriptures in Lu Song. By the way, there are also chiming bells and Jinpingtang." He is not treated well by Zheng Kezang, so he is not eager to do things every day, but he is getting better at making jokes. "Perhaps there are other good things."

"Kinney!" Zheng Kezang interrupted suddenly. "This can prevent malaria. It is a predetermined item. In addition, cocoa and chocolate made from cocoa are also good items. They will be used in the march in the north in the future." Several ministers were dumbfounded when they heard this. What was the thing that came, even Xu Qing was at a loss, but Ying Tanong remained calm, so that Xu Qing misunderstood that Ying Tanong reported to Zheng Kezang, so he looked at him Also filled with a trace of anger. "Hong Qing, what do you think?" Zheng Kezang did not explain, but asked the political councilors. "Zheng Qing also talked about it, you are an old senior in the guest department."

Zheng Bin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "My lord, the Department of Guests and the Department of Commerce are not the same thing."

Zheng Kezang smiled indifferently, so Zheng Bin had no choice but to say: "I don't know much about these things, and I don't have any opinions. It's better to listen to Lord Hong's opinion."

"In the past, the surname of the country used to think that the barbarians in Lu Song had repeatedly killed our Han people and wanted to launch a crusade. The late king also proposed to conquer Lu Song twice when he was alive. And why change the course." Hong Lei, as the de facto prime minister, refuted the negotiations between the Department of Commerce and Spain, and even led the conversation to Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Jing, and Zheng Kezang. "Thinking that tens of thousands of people died at the hands of Lu Songyi, but Master Xu wants to do business with him. I don't say that you have a heart to kill, but what kind of face will you use to meet Lord Guoxing and the former king in the future, Master Xu!"

Xu Qing's face was as pale as a pig's liver, and he held back for a long time before he said this and that, but Hong Lei confronted him tit-for-tat: "What is this and that? In front of the face, the reason why the clan raised troops against the Qing Dynasty was because the Tartars invaded our country and destroyed it. Hold the clothes, and Keding Dongning is because the Dutch killed my people and merchants. These are the great achievements of the name of the domain. According to Master Xu, what will be left in the history books in the future will be the infamy of the lord. "

"Lord Hong is right." Ke Ping also agreed. "If you don't have enough property, you can find another way. It is absolutely impossible to seek skin from a tiger."

Yang Ying knew that Zheng Xi's negotiation was Xu Qing's idea in name, but in fact it was Zheng Kezang's idea, and it was Zheng Kezang's confidant Ying Tainong who even organized it, so with the objections of Hong Lei and Ke Ping He also jumped out to make trouble: "It is a good idea to send troops to attack Lu Song, but it is absolutely impossible to shake hands with Lu Song Yi!"

It is good to be able to conquer Luzon. After all, there are gold mines, iron mines and laterite nickel mines there, but does Mingzheng have this strength now?Is it a good habit of the heavenly kingdom to not shrink back without strength?Zheng Kezang couldn't help frowning. He really didn't expect the voice of opposition from the Zhengshitang to be so loud. Except for Zheng Bin, who is basically soy sauce, the other three people can be said to have the same opinion.

"My lords, the negotiation with Lu Songyi is for their money, but it will also help to save the Han people on Lu Song Island completely." Xu Qing was speechless, but Zheng Kezang seemed to be waiting. Because of this, Ying Tanong had no choice but to jump out from behind the scenes. "It can also be used to enrich the manpower of the feudal clan. Such obvious benefits, the adults must consider it."

Ke Ping stopped talking when it came to human issues. Hong Lei was unwilling, but he was also lost in thought. Only Yang Ying objected out of objection: "According to my lord's words, if I don't agree with you, how can you guarantee Lu Song's peace?" Signing this treaty with this feudal clan is not a trap, if the local people believe it, but are slaughtered by Lu Songyi, your crime will be serious!"

"Master Yang's words are reasonable, but you can't be sure that the other party must be a trap?" Ying Tainong never bowed down because the other party's official status was higher than his own, but instead expressed his attitude with the sharpest tone. . "Could it be that Mr. Yang can figure out the cause and effect by pinching his fingers? Or is Mr. Yang thinking that there is nothing to justify himself?"

"You! Presumptuous!" Yang Ying was furious when she heard that Ying Tanong compared herself to Qin Hui, and turned around and pointed at Ying Tanong. "How dare you, a mere lowly official, talk to me in such a tone, you lucky fellow is too rampant!"

"Okay, Master Yang!" Hong Lei flicked his eyebrows, the lucky one, this remark hit too wide, almost wiped out all civil servants and military generals from the entire boy scout system, so he had to come forward and stop This colleague, lest he become a target of public criticism. "Your Excellency Ying used to be in the army or behind the enemy lines, so naturally he didn't know the rules of the court, so it's understandable if his tone was more intense. Besides, the lord is still in the seat, so where are you going to put the lord?"

"A lucky one?" But Hong Lei's words were too late, and Zheng Kezang looked at Yang Ying with a half-smile. "Yang Qing, I just remember that Yang Jie is now the sentinel of the sixth-rank Chengxin school. You say that, let others know, and think that he is here today with your help. That's not good. It's not fair, he also paid a lot of blood and sweat."

Yang Ying felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a stool, but at this moment Zheng Kezang didn't want to listen to his explanation, he just told Xu Qing and Ying Tainong: "Xu Qing, Ying Qing, Hong Qing and the others are even thinking about it. There are many acts of treachery, so don't trust it, you should go back and weigh the pros and cons of this matter."

Zheng Kezang looked at the two people who were somewhat disappointed, smiled slightly, and pointed out: "Speaking of it, I don't want the British, Guilian and Li to dominate in Dongning, but in fact, it doesn't necessarily have to be Lu Songyi. Tong'an doesn't have French barbarians. Are they haunted by Danish and Swedish barbarians? Maybe sending someone to talk to them is also a way to control barbarians with barbarians."

"Yes!" Xu Qing and Ying Tainong agreed.

"That's it," Zheng Kezang signaled the two to back down, and when they left, Zheng Kezang asked Hong Lei. "The last time Baoquan Division proposed the mechanism of new coins, how did the Zhengshitang discuss it?"
