Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 714 Homecoming

Of course, strictly speaking, these Han people who had immigrated overseas did not have that deep admiration for Master Wang.

They responded so quickly, and the name of Master Ming Dynasty was just one of them.

Benefits are also indispensable.

According to official history, He Bin was accused by the Dutch East India Company of colluding with the Zheng Group and collecting taxes privately in [-]. Therefore, he was deprived of all positions in the company and fined a large sum of money. He managed to escape from Taiwan and surrendered to Zheng Chenggong.

It's different now.

This time he invested in Zheng Chenggong. He Bin was on the rise of his career in Taiwan. On the island, he learned that Zheng Chenggong was sent by the Ming Dynasty to go south. At the same time, he was going to Luzon in cooperation with the Ming Dynasty Nanyang Company, and Wang Chengen was accompanying him.

There is no better opportunity than this to make a career change.

It just so happened that He Bin had the authority in hand when he was on the island.

After some planning before running away, it can be said that apart from taking the bastion of Relanja City, there is really nothing else that can be done to help the army capture the island.

Including but not limited to the promise that if the Ming Nanyang Company and Zheng Chenggong control Taiwan, the island's sugar industry can be revitalized.

In terms of taxation, Ming Dynasty had just canceled most of the additional pay, leaving only Liao pay.

The Han people on the island were suppressed and massacred just last year.

If our Ming Dynasty king comes to the island and we Han people make the decision, how can this happen?

He Bin now smiled and called up the rebel leaders from many villages to talk. Soon some people recognized him and called Mr. He Tongshi really ushered in Master Wang.

"No, no, no, I am not doing that kind of thing next to the Dutch, but Master Wang is indeed here. Everyone, please remember that the general with the surname of Guo was originally going to Luzon on the emperor's orders!

But I think the Dutch on our island are oppressing the people of the Ming Dynasty!This is it!The general will come to the island the day after tomorrow. If your villages really support the king, the heads of the clans and village heads of each family will have to come!The general is going to treat your adults to a banquet! "

The Han people responded.

The local people will not be idle either.

As a general manager, He Bin has had many interactions with many native mountain people on the island, who are generally called the Gaoshan tribe.

Although we are not familiar with each other, we can still talk to each other.

In the middle of the night, a group of native people came outside Shi Lang's camp and wanted to see He Bin by name. They were all wearing linen long and short shirts, tattooed faces and pierced ears. They were armed with crudely made knives, axes, bows and arrows, and even stone tools, as well as blunderbuss. In hand.

A mouth with two empty canine teeth on the left and right.

"Han officials, when the Ming army is coming, when will schools be opened for us? We will also be taught farming. We can't hide them like the Dutch and other Han people! It's done! We will help fight the Dutch!" "

Seeing He Bin, the native leader was both nervous and a little reckless.

He Bin was not annoyed, knowing that these people looked reckless, but in fact they couldn't understand Chinese at all, and their pronunciation was inevitably rough and concise.

"Don't worry, the general will arrive only the day after tomorrow. When the general arrives, all you have to do is line up to welcome him. The general will definitely give you generous gifts!"

"What gift?"

"Tembakul! I will give you some cloths, knives, iron pots, etc. Remember to be respectful when the time comes! Also, after the general, there will be an old man coming to the island. Remember to be as respectful as you can be. ! That master is so rich! I will reward you with something whenever you are happy! It may be enough for your tribe to feed for decades!"

(Tambaku, tobacco, was introduced to the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was quite popular in the south of the Ming Dynasty. It was even more popular in the Qing Dynasty. The practice of serving cigarettes and tea when welcoming guests also started in the Qing Dynasty. )
The native leader looked at Shi Lang's elite men, and He Bin's proposal to hang the Dutch corpses outside the camp. He also heard that there could be smoke, cloth, iron pots, etc., so he was naturally happy.

But then he still asked: "The Ming Dynasty General really doesn't occupy our land?"

He Bin pointed at Shi Lang who was watching on the side and smiled and said: "Not only will I not occupy it, but I will also give you the title of official, so that you can become the subjects of the Ming Dynasty and receive the blessings of the dynasty!" When Shi Lang saw this, he also stood up, wearing a fine armor to show his identity. "I am a general under the command of the general. I can guarantee that as long as you don't help the Dutch, my army will not invade your farmed properties after the whole island is stabilized. I will exempt you from two years of corvee service and reduce your taxes for one year." .”

He Bin spoke at the right time: "If you send troops to help the king's army, you will be rewarded even more! If there are young people in the clan who are favored by the general, they can still serve in the general's army. By then, they will become an official greater than the leader." Not sure."

These days, colonial rule is mainly based on plunder, and even if it is cultivated locally, it will not go deep. The wealth produced will eventually be turned into gold and silver and flow back to Europe.

Therefore, both the Han people and the native mountain people on the island of Taiwan were oppressed by the Dutch.

When the Han people were civilized, most of their associations were under the direct rule of the Dutch. The mountain people stuck to the mountainous areas. Although the Dutch were powerful in conquering, the mountains were their home ground and it was difficult to attack them. The losses were not proportional to the rewards.

Therefore, many mountain ethnic groups were directly required to make regular contributions and pay taxes.

It's hard for the Han people right now, and naturally it's also hard for the mountain people.

After that night, more Han people and mountain people leaders came to find outside the army camp, either preparing to help the army, or coming to find out the news.

News that Zheng Chenggong was about to land also spread.

Later, even Zheng Chenggong himself did not expect that his reputation would be even better than that of his father on the island of Taiwan.

The large-scale reclamation of Taiwan Island by the Han people was not that long ago, only about 30 years ago.

A pirate businessman named Yan Siqi came up with a very bold idea in Japan. He felt that the Japanese shogunate was cruel and unjust. This Han Chinese wanted to be called "Princes and Generals Ning Ning has the kind" in Japan.

So he became sworn brothers with different surnames with a group of Han pirates, vowed to raise troops, save the Japanese people from fire and water, and took the throne of the Tokugawa family, and then asked the Ming Dynasty to be canonized.

Among the pirate leaders who became sworn sworn friends, there was Zheng Zhilong.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out and was discovered when the Hirado clan was preparing to raise troops, so Yan Siqi led a group of thirteen ships and fled Kyushu Island.

While at sea, one of the brothers named Chen Zhongji gave advice and pointed the direction for the team, which was Taiwan.

Let’s establish a base first.

At that time, whether he continues to be a pirate or plots against Japan, it will be easy to decide.

Then, a group of people landed on the island to occupy territory, build a port city, and attract immigrants all at once.

But within two years, Yan Siqi, who had just started his career, contracted typhoid fever due to excessive drinking and eating, and died young.

The boss is gone, and the pirate leaders elect a new leader.

This new alliance leader is Zheng Zhilong.

This is where the Eighteen Zhi came from.

Zheng Chenggong is no stranger to the island of Taiwan. Although he has never lived in Bengang for a long time, he has no problem saying that he is familiar with the people and the roads.

Now he still bears the name of the Ming Dynasty master.

For the locals, compared with facing the frustration and compromise of the Ming Dynasty Nanyang Company, they could only cooperate, and his old father was a little timid when facing the Dutch.

Zheng Chenggong's power and reputation are quite impressive, and he is also younger, more energetic, and more attractive.

It is a more dazzling banner.
