- Guangzhou, North Tower.
There is a five-story building here, which was built in the early Ming Dynasty, and it was built to have a good view of the whole city.
Zhao Han put down the battle report he had just received, and seeing Zheng Zhilong looking at him, he smiled and said: "Western Guangdong has been taken, only Qiongzhou Prefecture is left, and the frontline generals request to dispatch ships to attack the island."
"Congratulations, dear brother," Zheng Zhilong immediately cupped his hands, "Do you need the Zheng family to send a boat to help?"
Zhao Han waved his hand and said, "I don't need it for the time being. It won't be too late to capture Qiongzhou's mansion when there are enough officials. Does my brother know the situation in Qiongzhou?"
"It's much better there than Dongfan," Zheng Zhilong said with a smile, "there are at least a million Han people in Qiongzhou Island."
The population of Hainan Island in the late Ming Dynasty must have exceeded one million!
Because during the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, the registered population of Hainan Island had already reached 291,030, almost breaking through 300,000. Over the past two hundred years, the imperial court has continued to exile prisoners on the island, and there have been civilian immigrants along the coast of Guangdong. There may be two or three million Han people on Hainan Island.
As for the official data, there were only 250,000 people in Hainan at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which was less than that of Zhu Yuanzhang, which is outrageous and nonsense.
Zhao Han got up and pressed the railing, looked across the city of Guangzhou to look at the sea, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Does the Hongfan ghost really dare to come?"
"It will definitely come." Zheng Zhilong said with a smile.
After Zhao Han took back Macau, he immediately informed the merchants that all countries can come to Guangzhou for free trade¡ªexcept the Netherlands.
With the arrogance of the Dutch in the 17th century, after hearing this news, they probably wanted to rush into Guangzhou City and kill Zhao Han. According to Zheng Zhilong, the Dutch will arrive in Guangzhou within three months.
Zhao Han is now in a hurry to drive away the Dutch because he has captured the entire western part of Guangdong.
Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty directly bordered Vietnam, and the coastal areas of Guangxi in the future will all be under the jurisdiction of Guangdong at this time.
North Vietnam's ocean trade has been occupied by the Dutch. Only by driving away the Dutch can Zhao Han buy grain in North Vietnam to solve the problem of food shortage in Guangdong.
After three years of catastrophe in Guangdong, Zhao Han brought a large number of troops and officials. The local purchase of grain is no longer enough, and it is being transported from Jiangxi. The consumption of going over mountains and mountains is very high, and it is necessary to obtain grain imports from North Vietnam as soon as possible.
The cost of buying grain from North Vietnam is lower than that of South Vietnam, and merchants are more active in transporting grain and selling it.
Zhao Han asked suddenly: "Is it easy to attack Taiwan City (Rezaban City)?"
"Easy," Zheng Zhilong said, "If it's just a naval battle, you can make peace with the Hongfan ghosts after the battle. If you capture Taiwan City, it's tantamount to a full-scale war with the Hongfan ghosts."
Zhao Han asked again: "What is the combat strength of the Hongfan ghost's army?"
Zheng Zhilong smiled and said, "It's stronger than Daming's guards."
These words made Zhao Han amused, and after careful questioning, it turned out that they were pretty much the same.
It cannot be blamed for the fact that the Dutch Army is too weak. Like the soldiers of the Daming Guard, it is all due to problems with their treatment.
The salary of the Dutch Army is extremely low, and even clothes and hats have to be provided by themselves.
Most Army soldiers have to find part-time jobs to make money, and even sneak out of the barracks every day to work full-time.
Their origins are various, and the military training time is only two months. Anyway, it is just casual training, and they are distributed from Batavia to various colonial strongholds.
Let's put it this way, the training time of the farmers and soldiers under Zhao Han's command is several times that of the Dutch Army.
Historically, Zheng Chenggong attacked the city of Rezalam, and there were three fortresses in the Netherlands. Among them, Fort Promincia had a serious shortage of gunpowder reserves, and even the matchlocks of the matchlock guns were moldy. The Dutch army in the fortress was busy working all day to make a living.
The Dutch reinforcements at that time were even more nonsense. The fleet set off from Batavia and only transported six or seven hundred troops.
Of these hundreds of army soldiers, only 200 were sent to support Taiwan, and the rest of the troops came to attack Macau, which made the Portuguese in Macau look confused.
It feels like as long as it lands and fights, the Dutch army is a bunch of psychopaths.
Zheng Zhilong glanced at his son, and said: "I'm leaving, so Quanzi can go to Ji'an Mansion with my younger brother, and let him go to Jiangxi to see the world."
"Father, I still have to take the Juren examination." Zheng Sen said.
"What is the exam?" Zheng Zhilong was very speechless, "Before you pass the exam, Fujian is gone. Where are you going to take the exam?"
Zhao Han smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll host it when the time comes."
Fujian is easy to win, and when the time comes there will be a three-pronged approach.
All the way from the lead mountain to the south, all the way to the east from Chaozhou, all the way to Fuzhou from the sea.
Since ancient times, Fujian has been an indisputable land for military strategists.
The land is full of mountains and the land is barrenbsp; Whom to kill?
Of course it is to kill civil servants who dare to reach out for corruption!
Zou Guangdi announced again: "Fei Ruhe, head of the Southern Military Academy, is not strict in governing the army. He dismisses all military posts and stays in the army to serve. Ten times with the stick, one mu of land under his name will be taken back!"
Fei Ruhe was dragged out, at least to save face for him, he didn't take off his pants in public and beat him again.
"Crack, clap, clap!"
The people who watched the execution looked incredible.
They are not familiar with others, but Fei Ruhe is the highest military officer occupying Guangzhou, and led troops to conquer half of Guangzhou. Before Zhao Han came, Fei Ruhe was the uncle of Guangzhou, and he was in charge of everything.
Such a general was dismissed because of some trivial matter?
Then, several high-ranking military officers were pulled out and spanked. Some were demoted and accepted, and some were pushed to the end. They were charged with accepting bribes from merchants, but they voluntarily handed over dirty money for confiscation.
"It's dead, it's dead." A merchant trembled, and he had bribed these high-level officers.
A group of scholars standing at the pier were deeply moved:
"I am afraid that those who govern the army in ancient and modern times are as strict as the Datong army."
"I've heard that General Fei, who was dismissed from office, is still the brother-in-law of King Zhao."
"This man will win the world, I want to go out to assist him."
"Haha, you still go out to assist. They only recruit reserve officials. If you want to be an official, you have to do things first."
"I have already inquired about it. As long as you become an official, you can be promoted very quickly. The current magistrate of Nanhai County, who was born in Jiangxi Juren, also started as a civil servant. If Fujian is taken, the magistrate of Nanhai County can be promoted immediately. Zhizhou."
"Yes, yes, you can only be an official when you go out of the mountain, but they are promoted quickly. I am going to serve Mr. Zhao. It is too late, so I will be promoted first."
