Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

After learning that Galdan launched the second Eastern Expedition, Kangxi sent two armies in January 1990 in the Western calendar to march towards the Kherlen River and the Tula River in an attempt to pinch the Jungar people from left to right.At the same time, Galdan left the old and weak women and children who could not fight, and took all the remaining elite soldiers and horses, a total of more than [-] people, to leave the Kobuda Base Camp to launch the third Eastern Expedition.

After entering the territory of Tushetu Khan, Galdan divided his troops into two groups, one led by his subordinates and went straight to the area along the Urza River, and the other led by himself went straight to the upper reaches of the Onon River to conquer the local Kaer Kataiji plans to wait for it to obtain supplies from these Taiji before going south to meet another road at the Bayan Ulan Mountains in the upper reaches of the Urza River

The naval battle off the Daejeon River Estuary exposed the last card of Zheng Jun's navy. After learning that their old enemy not only had a large number of small two-masted sailing warships, but also several medium-tonnage three-masted sailing warships, the Dutch finally realized that their opponent difficult.Although the Dutch have three three-layer gun-deck battleships in the Far East, they still have an overwhelming advantage in the comparison between the total tonnage of warships and the tonnage of a single ship, but three-layer gun-deck (ninety) battleships are the best in this era no matter which country The country is a heavy weapon, and who dares to easily pull it into the battlefield before the moment when the fate of the country is decided. In addition, the Dutch also have scattered colonial trade points in the East Indies and are vulnerable to harassment from the sea. A considerable amount of sea area in the rugged route was under the absolute control of Ming Zheng and many other threats. Therefore, the United East India Company, facing the pressure of Zheng Jun's retaliation, had to try to compromise.

On March 43th in the 29rd year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty and the [-]th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, a Dutch merchant ship sailed into the Taiwan Strait and raised a white flag after being intercepted by the cruising Zheng Jun brigantine

"A, Hongyi promises to uphold neutrality in the battle between the clan and the Qing captives, recognizes the existence of the governors of the clan in Southeast Asia and the West, and promises not to use any force against the clan and its overseas territories in the future;" The appearance of the Dutch did bring surprises to Mingzheng, and what was even more surprising was the scale of the Dutch's concession. "B, Hongyi agrees to pay the sea tax for entering and leaving China's waters, Nagasaki, Japan, and Naha, Ryukyu after negotiation."

Zheng Kezang was preparing to plan an offensive against the mainland, so he hit it off with the Dutch's request for peace, but despite this, Zheng Kezang still asked soberly: "Hongyi's courteous people must ask for something, please tell me Hongyi's asking price."

"My lord knows everything well, and Hong Yi's asking price is quite high." Although Zheng Kezang did not agree with Hong Lei's complaint, the position of Zuo Shenzheng has been vacant, and everyone who has the opportunity to make further progress is eager to fight. Eager to try, Lin Weirong is no exception. "Red Yi requested that the vassal no longer set up a governor's office in Borneo, Sumatra, Java, and the Maluku Islands;"

"Is this to divide each other's spheres of influence?" Zheng Kezang sneered upon hearing this. "Hongyi is good at calculating, and wants to use this to tie up the hands and feet of Benfan, but unfortunately Hongyi doesn't know that Benfan has no spare power to go south now." Speaking of this, Zheng Kezang's face darkened. "Let's make a promise first. As for the future, when the power of the clan increases, it is not impossible to break the promise."

Hearing that Zheng Kezang was about to break the contract before the agreement was signed, if he were replaced by a Daoist gentleman, he would definitely advise him, but Lin Weirong is now focused on climbing up, so how dare he disobey Zheng Kezang's mind, so he just He responded and continued: "Secondly, Hongyi requested that the capitals of this feudal vassal not allow British, Guilian, French and other Thai and Western countries to enter."

This is to jointly prevent the influence of other European countries in this area, but the Dutch may not be able to do better than the Portuguese in the past, so Zheng Kezang didn't even have the intention of ridiculing, just nodded slightly to show consent.

"Thirdly, Hongyi also wants to set up a business office in Penghu and do business with the local clan;" Lin Weirong continued. "Fourth, Hongyi demanded the redemption of all the ships captured by the vassal."

"Business in Penghu can exchange needs, as long as the two parties reach an agreement, and the red barbarians pay and pay (tariffs) according to the regulations, this is not a problem." Zheng Kezang intuitively felt that he had missed something, and added after thinking about it. "By the way, we still need to ask Hongyi to agree to this feudal clan and buy it. As for the redemption of the human boat, as long as people are alive, they can let them redeem it. As for the boat." [Dongfang] is now Zheng Jun's [Huo Xing Yao ], and the newly captured [Crijnsen] will also be repaired and replaced with guns to enrich Zheng Junzheng's fleet, so it is impossible for Zheng Kezang to return it, but it is natural to explain it to the Dutch. of. "After murder and arson, you just want to take back the person and the murder weapon after paying a loss. Is it possible?"

While gazing at the not-busy port of Jimulpo, Ying Tainong, who was sipping wine with a glass of wine, heard the sound of the private room door opening. Looking back, it was indeed Yu Wuhong's round face (recommended by friend manson in 2003). , Ying Tainong, who wanted to laugh when he saw this round face, pointed to the chair in front of him to signal him to sit down, and waited for Yu Wuhong to sit on the seat with half of his buttocks, before he asked: "Master Zhang, now Is the North Korean king's court still sending news of the North Korean captives on time?"

"Returning to your lord," Yu Wuhong, whose pseudonym Zhang is the treasurer, was ordered to establish a contact point here after Zheng Kezang married the North Korean princess. In the past two years, Ming Zheng has obtained the most information from the Qing court. The Qing court is absolutely unexpected. "North Koreans still keep their promises, but"

"It's just that the Joseon royal court is a bit greedy. Not long ago, it asked the officials for 5000 taels of benefits, saying that it was used to manage the Qing court," Yu Wuhong complained. "But in fact, except for a small part of the news from North Korea that came back from the North Korean envoys in Beijing, the rest are all excerpts from the Tang Chao and Di Bao of the Qing court."

"The money that should be given still has to be given." It's not that Ying Tanong suddenly became generous, but that Zheng Kezang's artificial bead breeding after repeated trials has finally succeeded after five years. The first batch of 50 sea pearls the size of a thumb Zheng Kezang earned a full [-] taels for Zheng Kezang. With money, Zheng Kezang not only allocated the full amount of military expansion expenses to the Zhidu Division, but even the Staff Fang Division received additional funds. "Here are a hundred sea pearls, you take them to deal with the North Koreans first." Yu Wuhong opened the sachet and poured a few on the table, a few pearls the size of little fingers poured out, but he could pick them up carefully and take a look every time. There are more or less flaws on the beads, although it does not affect the overall appearance, but it finally lowers the price of the beads. "Remember to make it clear to the North Koreans that the money was given to them, but the news from the north must be delivered in time. In addition, there is a notification ship waiting on the outer sea every day."

Yu Wuhong was shocked: "My lord, what happened?"

Yu Wuhong thought about the information he had recently handled, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, is it related to Galdan? Is it possible that the Lord is planning to take advantage of the opportunity of the Qing army going west to deal with Galdan? "

Ying Tainong glared at Yu Wuhong's ridiculous round face viciously: "You are an old man in the office after all, don't you understand the rules? Are you supposed to guess at will?"

"My lord, it's not that the lower officials speculate casually." Yu Wuhong hurriedly explained in fright. "Your Majesty heard that the North Korean military attache who sent the news was intentionally or unintentionally inquiring about Seogwipo's news. He privately thought that the North Koreans had already discovered the actions of the feudal clan."

"Let the North Koreans guess if they want to, and you don't know anything when they ask you." Having said that, Ying Tainong is also beating drums in his heart, and now dozens of double sails have poured into Seogwipo Gunboats, this huge collection of naval forces that can wipe out the naval forces of the three provinces does give the North Koreans reason to worry. "In a word, everything is possible before the war begins"

"My lord, this is the scorpion pickaxe (Note: Daqin Island)." At the same time that Ying Tainong was patrolling Jiwupu, Chu Jin also arrived at the front line of Miaodao. "The one to the north is the Cow Club (Note: Xiaoqin Island), and the shadowy one to the north is Wuhushu (Note: It was only specifically divided into South City God Island and North City God Island in the Qing Dynasty)."

"I'm afraid this is the northernmost point of Miao Island?" Chu Jin carefully observed these deserted islands through binoculars. "Are there a lot of seagoing ships passing by here?"

"Your Excellency is right, about [-] miles to the north is the Laotie Mountain of Lushun Fort." Tang Ping, the captain of the [Feiyun] who diverted the water, introduced to Chu Jin. "As for this waterway, it was an important channel for Shandong to supply Mao Island back then. Unfortunately, after the death of Marshal Mao Wenlong, this waterway was also abandoned."

"Useless?" Chu Jin frowned. "Is no one going anymore?"

"Laotieshan's waterway is deep and the waves are rough, so it's very inconvenient to pass through. Even if there are people fishing by boat, it's only as far as the waterway we're on now." Tang Ping has cruised here many times, and he didn't meet a person from the river once. Shandong or Liaodong ships, so he is full of confidence. "In addition, five provinces moved to the sea during Obai's administration, so most of the only fishermen are gone now, so our camp on Turtle Island (Note: Tuoji Island) is very safe."

"Don't be careless." Chu Jin reminded. "This time, the lord's strategy can be described as leaping into the enemy's rear. The Northern Fleet is going to make a big show. For this reason, the Fubo Fleet has dispatched four teams. If the song fails, we will not be able to hold our heads up in front of Gong Tian." In fact, it's not just as simple as not being able to lift his head. If Zheng Kezang's major event is ruined, let alone Chu Jin, even Lin Sheng will be unable to eat and walk around. "We still have to be more cautious."

Tang Ping also knew the seriousness, so he expressed his stance wisely: "Since my lord is still worried, then I will work harder as an official, and just keep the Qing prisoners from going to sea for the next six months."

"It doesn't have to be like that," Chu Jin laughed. "It's better to put it at sea and fight again, maybe the brothers can share some profits."

"I'm afraid that if I get the money, it will be thrown into the holes of those North Korean girls in Seogwipo in a blink of an eye."

Chu Jin put down the binoculars and laughed loudly: "You say this, be careful that Anlong is in a hurry with you."
