Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 462
In the eyes of Manila, once he arrives at a certain place, as long as he unfurls his cannons and puts them on the city, those local natives will soon organize a powerful attack, and they will be sent to his cannons as cannon fodder as soon as possible.

Those people are pretty stupid!

However, this soldier of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have a much better mind. Not only did he ignore his tricks, but he also turned his back on the general and put himself in a desperate situation.

Surround but not fight, what kind of tactic is this shit?
Manila saw it for the first time, but it was scary to think about it.

With no advantage in this situation, he had to re-examine the troops stationed five miles outside the city, and had to make a wiser decision for his own future and life: Surrender.

However, his surrender was not reconciled. He always believed that he could easily conquer a country with only a small number of soldiers, because he mastered the most advanced thermal weapon in the world.

Therefore, under this kind of internal and external pressure and unwillingness to reconcile, Manila's surrender is mixed.

It can also be said that when Manila was actually desperate, it thought of a workaround, that is, in the name of surrender, start negotiations with the people of the Ming Empire on the opposite side, and then look for opportunities to turn defeat into victory. The shame of the fight that took place.

Manila erected a white flag at the top of the city, and appointed a Dutchman who spoke Chinese fairly well to lobby Zheng Chenggong's camp, saying that they wanted to surrender and negotiated the terms of surrender with Zheng Chenggong.

Of course, seeing that the chief general of the Ming Empire was just a teenage boy, the emissary felt contemptuous.

"Surrender is surrender, there is nothing to negotiate, go back and tell your generals, if you want to surrender, you have to listen to us, if you want to negotiate conditions, then you can stay in the city, I think you can still be hungry A few days."

Zheng Chenggong rejected this meaningless negotiation without hesitation, drove the envoy out of the barracks with a big stick, and continued to besiege and wait without any hurry.

After listening to the envoy's report, Manila's head became dizzy, and he endured it for another day. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer, and sent a formal request to Zheng Chenggong: I want to surrender. I won't negotiate this time, just surrender directly.

Zheng Chenggong said to the envoy: "Well, since you want to surrender, you must disarm first! Gather all your weapons together, and I will send people to the city to pull them out."

The envoy's face looked like a dead father, as ugly as it could be, because before they came, their plan was to persuade Zheng Chenggong to enter the city, and then they were fighting to the death, but now they didn't expect this guy to be so cunning, he didn't even take the bait .

Seeing the envoy's expression, Zheng Chenggong seemed to have guessed something, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, this general thinks it's too troublesome to pull the weapon back and forth, so let's surrender in another way."

When the Dutch envoy heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: There is a chance!
"Let the governor of Manila lead all the soldiers and line up out of the city. Remember, you are not allowed to bring any weapons, otherwise you will be disingenuous. After you come out, I will consider selling some food to you first."

The envoy had a look of hope just now, but when he heard Zheng Chenggong's remark, he couldn't help turning a bitter face again. He wanted to beg to relax a little, but Zheng Chenggong didn't give him a chance.

"Let's do this, go back, my patience is limited, if the governor of Manila doesn't come out with soldiers within two hours, then I will close the door of surrender forever."

The Dutch envoy went back and told Zheng Chenggong's original words.

After thinking about it for half an hour, Manila led all the soldiers out of the city and surrendered when they were sure they couldn't think of a better way!

Even if he wanted to sacrifice his life for the country, it was impossible, because many of his subordinates were clamoring to surrender. This kind of discipline was impossible in the most corrupt army of the Ming Empire. However, the Dutch did it.

This can be regarded as a living habit or a national habit.

So, just like that, Zheng Chenggong took down the city of Zeelandia, which was even easier than dealing with those Spanish devils.If there is any bright spot in this war, it is this: without firing a single shot, without killing a single person, the entire army ate, ate, slept outside Zeelandia, and everything was settled.

After the entire Taiwan was occupied by the Dutch for more than 20 years, it finally returned to the embrace of the motherland.

Zhu Changyuan received a call from Zheng Chenggong, and after learning about what happened there, he never expected that Taiwan would be pacified so easily. He was quite surprised and quite happy and said: "You did a good job, and you have lived up to what I have done to you." Cultivate and teach."

"Escort the [-] captives back to Beijing. In addition, from today onwards, you will be the admiral of the navy. You will control the [-] navy and the ten ships. Then you will sail to the South China Sea. Between Mughal and me, Ming Dynasty, let’s get acquainted with the waterway first, if one day I want to turn the whole country westward, you will be the number one hero!”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zheng Chenggong hung up the phone respectfully, knelt down devoutly on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of the capital, his eyes looked at the vast sea, which was full of hopes and great ambitions, and there was even a desire to conquer the sea Ambition.

Taiwan is basically recovered peacefully, but the next thing is more troublesome than the recovery itself.That is the governance of Taiwan.

Due to its isolation overseas, Taiwan was only included and ignored during the Ming Dynasty, almost in a state of stocking.Taiwan is also a shelter for many pirates and fugitives from the Fujian region, as well as an immigration place for the Ming Empire.

Zhu Changyuan is now considering how to govern Taiwan.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still decided to do it in one step. I sent people to incorporate Taiwan into the territory of China, and then set up a province and a governor of Taiwan.As for the above management method, some modifications have been made, and it does not follow the inherent methods of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Changyuan's idea is to directly implement the land reform policy in Taiwan, measure all the land in Taiwan, and distribute it equally according to the population. As for the local nobles, they will all be captured. A vigorous fight against the Landlords.

Then, the land is nominally owned by the state and leased to farmers for cultivation. Of course, once the ownership of the land falls into the hands of the state, individuals lose the privilege of buying and selling land.

In this way, the phenomenon of land annexation will cease to exist.

The idea is good, but Zhu Changyuan also knows that if he wants to turn his idea into reality, he must first face countless inherent landlord forces in Taiwan, and ordinary people may not be able to support it.

Originally, he wanted to let his cheap brother-in-law Wu Weiye be the governor of Taiwan, but after thinking about it, he felt that Wu Weiye was just a literati, and he was too young to take on such a heavy responsibility.

In the end, his eyes were set on one person: Hong Chengchou.

Not only has this guy been a governor before, but he has also led soldiers. He is a veritable talent.The most important thing is that this Hong Chengchou is not as rotten as a scholar, he does things vigorously and ruthlessly, and his wrists are ruthless enough!
In other words, Hong Chengchou is actually a ruthless person. Although he stumbled in Liaodong that year, it was caused by multiple reasons.

And ruthless people are suitable for this kind of offending work.

Zhu Changyuan personally called his old subordinate to the palace to test and talk before the appointment.

Hong Chengchou was a rather depressed person. He led troops to inspect Shaanxi before, then supervised Ji Liao, was defeated and captured by the Qing Dynasty, and then surrendered to Zhu Changyuan.

Zhu Changyuan was kind to him, not only didn't blame him but also entrusted him with heavy responsibility, but recently he felt a deep sense of crisis.The people around him are promoted one by one.

Yan Hong and Zhu Changning are Zhu Changyuan's old subordinates. It's not bad that he became a minister after he ascended the throne. He became the servant of the medical department, and Li Baohe was originally the dean of Baohetang, but now he was promoted to be a minister.

And Luo Rucai, that reckless bastard, even pretended to be a king!Well, although his title of king has not been realized yet, it is still in sight.

But myself, who used to hold an army of 40, and was the hero who led [-] infantry to surrender to Zhu Changyuan, still hasn't reaped half of the benefits.

Can Hong Chengchouan not be depressed?

But depression is depression, and he didn't even have the guts to talk about depression after meeting such a master who doesn't come once in a thousand years.

Today, Hong Chengchou's heart was a little up and down, because the emperor summoned him, and, with his intelligence and connections, he soon learned that he was going to be the governor of Taiwan.

Although the official is comparable to him in the Chongzhen period, this is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as he does a good job, he believes that there will be no problem with promotion.

However, when he met Zhu Changyuan, he was terrified by the large set of governance theories Zhu Changyuan threw out.Yes, I was really scared to pee, because as smart as him, I must know the political consequences of such a game.

There must be a steady stream of imperial censors impeaching him for what he has done, and he will definitely fight against the powerful local forces and have a collision of water and fire.

If it's not done well, there will be no bones left. If it's done well, both of them will die together.

Hong Chengchou looked at the document Zhu Changyuan handed him, carefully pondered over the items, content and handling measures, and broke out in a cold sweat unconsciously.

"How is it? Master Hong understands it?" Zhu Changyuan's entire plan was written in a modern form, and he did not guarantee that Hong Chengchou could understand everything.

"I understand!" Hong Chengchou put the document back on the table, frowned slightly, knelt down unwillingly and declined, and said, "If you act like this, I may not be able to complete the important task!"

Just kidding, in Hong Chengchou's eyes, if Zhu Changyuan's efforts continue, there will be no rich people or landlords in the whole of Taiwan, and everyone will return to the original starting line.

Just think about how big this resistance is.
