    ,

    Liu Hanyi knew that General Lu Song was a black man, and seeing him now, he really lived up to his reputation, as black as charcoal.

    "General Tie, thank you!" Liu Hanyi cupped her hands.

    Tie Hong also cupped his hands in return: "It's easy to say that they are all serving the country. I just happened to be too idle. Luzon has 3,000 garrisons, and I have to keep 300 to garrison Manila, and another 200 to garrison Tortoiseshell City. I can take two  A thousand men will fight against you."

    "Two thousand people are enough." Liu Hanyi said.

    Zhang Huangyan suddenly said: "There are thousands of Japanese vagrants in Luzon, most of them are employed by Han landlords, and take care of their homes for those landlords. Many of them escaped from Japan alone, and there is no money to marry a wife in Luzon.  Indigenous women are wives, and those who have done meritorious service can be given land, these ronin must be eager to join the army, and they don't even need to be paid."

    "That's great!" Liu Hanyi, like Han Xin, sent as many troops as possible.

    Zhang Huangyan and Tie Hong temporarily stayed in Luzon to recruit Japanese.

    And Liu Hanyi went to Taiwan to persuade the admirals there in the name of court envoys.

    In fact, Taiwan also has an army stationed there, with 500 soldiers in Taipei and 500 soldiers in Tainan, mainly fighting against headhunters in the mountains.

    The rogues Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang have each developed into large villages in the valleys between mountains.  They can vigorously develop into the mountainous area, lay down a piece of land, and the government will immigrate in, and they can also leave some land for themselves.  In order to pay less tax on land, the bandits are crazy about having babies. Zhang Xianzhong alone has 16 children, most of whom are born to local concubines.

    Liu Hanyi walked around Tainan and Taipei, not only succeeded in persuading the navy to dispatch, but also borrowed 200 troops in Taiwan.

    Zhang Xianzhong's eldest brother-in-law, Ding Chang, opened a shop in Taipei County to do fur business, and immediately sent someone to the mountains to report the news.  Unwilling to be lonely, Zhang Xianzhong came with hundreds of peasants and soldiers, intending to make military exploits to gain status¡ªhe wanted to be the mayor of the town.

    "Angel Liu, one-third of my more than a hundred farmers and soldiers are brothers who fought in the Southern and Northern Wars. The remaining two-thirds have also been fighting headhunters all year round. I guarantee that everyone is doing well!"  Zhang Xianzhong's chest slapped loudly.

    Liu Hanyi looked at this famous "eight thieves" curiously. He probably became a big landlord, and his life was relatively good. Zhang Xianzhong was obviously fat.

    However, it is still very strong, which can be described as big shoulders and round waist.

    Fei Ruhe is recruiting Li Zicheng's troops in Hetao. Since Li Zicheng can be forgiven, it seems that it is not taboo to use Zhang Xianzhong to fight.

    Liu Hanyi asked: "Why did Village Chief Zhang take the initiative to join the army?"

    Zhang Xianzhong laughed and said: "Ming people don't talk dark words. One is that it is boring to fight with the natives, and they want to go to Batavia to play tricks. The other is that they want to make meritorious service and become the mayor. The magistrate and the county magistrate are afraid of trouble, so they dare not let me be the mayor.  If you have done meritorious service, please ask the angel to say a few words in front of His Majesty. The third is to consider for your children and grandchildren. Although my children can go to school, they are not qualified to graduate as official examiners, and they are not qualified to serve as officials in the Nanjing Imperial Examination.  If I have made meritorious service in this battle, I beg Your Majesty to grant me a place in the imperial examination. The fourth child of my family was born smart, studied in elementary school, and took the first place in the examination every year. If I can pass the imperial examination in the future, it will be beautiful."

    Liu Hanyi couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, the majestic Eight Great Kings are now working hard to be the mayor, and actively challenged for a son's imperial examination.

    In fact, Zhang Xianzhong is very satisfied with his current life.

    He now has a group of wives and concubines, three of whom were brought from Hubei, and the rest of the concubines are all indigenous women.  Although he is an aborigine, he is also born beautiful and has a special charm.  More than a dozen sons and daughters made Zhang Xianzhong even more proud. His Zhang family was enough to spread branches and leaves in Taiwan and become a rich family.

    He has thousands of acres of land under his name, and most of the land is still paying high step-by-step taxes.  But as long as the children are all adults and the land property is shared equally among the children, those step taxes can be exempted, which is nothing more than the household registration of more than ten people.

    Zhang Xianzhong's current ideal is to have more children, let the children have more children, and then continue to open up the mountains and forests.  In a few decades, the Zhang family will have thousands of acres of land!

    If the son can be an official in the imperial examination and has contacts in the court, that would of course be great.

    Liu Hanyi said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang is dedicated to serving the country. How can I refuse? Wait for the Luzon army to set off together."

    Liu Hanyi continued to go to Guangdong by boat, persuaded the navy there to send out a few warships, and then went to Palembang and Malacca.  But Zhang Xianzhong sent people south to call Sun Kewang, who was waiting for orders with more than 80 peasants and soldiers.

    Liu Hanyi made appointments with various armies, and they continued to gather along the way. Now they are gathering in Guangzhou, and then collectively head south to Palembang.

    Malacca's army will also be in PalembangWhy is China dispatching a large army to Palembang now?  Is China going to break its promise and tear up the treaty?  "

    Liu Hanyi took out the canonized edict and the gold seal of King Nanbawa, and angrily said: "Nambawa is already a vassal state of China, and the Netherlands has torn up the treaty by capturing Nanbawa!"

    Neuhoff argued: "No, Your Excellency's canonization document has not yet been delivered to Sultan Nanbawa. Before China completed the canonization, Sultan Nanbawa had surrendered to the Netherlands. Now Nanbawa is a vassal state of the Netherlands. We do not  The treaty was not broken."

    Liu Hanyi corrected: "King Nanbawa has presented his credentials to China. When the credentials were accepted by the emperor of the Datong Dynasty, Nanbawa was already a vassal state of China!"

    Neuhoff also stopped entangled in this issue: "It seems that this is just a misunderstanding, and there is no need to use force to resolve it. The Netherlands can withdraw its troops from Nanbawa. How about the Netherlands and China jointly exploiting the gold mines of Nanbawa?"

    This little teddy in the Netherlands really wants everything.

    Batavia is about to be attacked by soldiers, and he is still unwilling to hand over the gold mine completely, and wants to jointly develop the gold mine with China.

    Liu Hanyi sneered: "Do you think this will allow me to withdraw my troops?"

    Neuhoff continued to make concessions: "Since China is unwilling to give up the gold mine, the Netherlands is willing to hand it over and promise not to get involved in the Nanbawa gold mine in the future."

    "My 30,000 troops came from afar, and you want me to go back without letting go?" Liu Hanyi exaggerated the strength of the troops by six times.

    Neuhof wanted to delay the time, so he said, "Why don't I go back to Batavia first and ask the governor to compensate part of your country's military expenses? Please make a price, how much can I make up for the loss of sending troops?"

    "500,000 taels of silver!" Liu Hanyi said loudly.

    If the Netherlands is really willing to pay so much money, Liu Hanyi will retreat without saying a word, which is enough for him to get a lot of credit.
