Early the next morning, Li Changxiang borrowed a lot of soldiers from the South China Sea Fleet, first controlled the land around Anhua City, and then gradually advanced to the periphery.

At the same time, the registration of the people and their land is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

To the northeast of Anhua City is the "Twenty-Eight Society", which is relatively concentrated in indigenous people, with a total population of at least 3,000 people.

If it is in the eastern mainland of China, the population of this point is only a small town at most, but in Taiwan Province, it is already a fairly densely populated area.

Li Changxiang took hundreds of soldiers from the South China Sea Fleet to the 28th Society in person, selected a location, and purchased a simple house from the people as a temporary official office.

The first county seat under the jurisdiction of Anhua Prefecture is centered on this official office, and the land where the county government is located belongs to Mujiayan Bay, and the name is relatively awkward, so Li Changxiang named the new county as Tainan County.

The central area of Tainan County is the Twenty-Eight Society, but the land of the entire Tainan County extends to the sea in the west, the foothills of the mountains in the east, the south is south of Anhua City, and the north is temporarily undetermined.

Chen Busha also has an important task, that is, to register the population of the 28 societies and their existing land, and the county government will not change their existing land, houses, and village communities, but the land that has not yet been cultivated by the people has been banned by the county government, and the people are not allowed to reclaim it for the time being.

What surprised Chen Busha was that he originally thought that the people would not accept the registration of the county government, but the people were afraid of being killed by the Dutch, and they were very afraid of the soldiers of the South China Sea Fleet armed with knives and guns.

With the assistance of the heads of the 28 societies, the population and land registration of the 28 societies went surprisingly smoothly.

But Chen Busha did not dare to take it lightly, and hundreds of soldiers of the South China Sea Fleet set up camps around the county government and guarded the county government day and night.

Li Zicheng wandered around the city of Anhua for two days, especially visited the sugar factories in the city, although he did not know the sugar manufacturing process on the Chinese mainland, but he was amazed by the two sugar factories in the city.

Machinery is used in the transportation, boiling and discharging stages, which should be more advanced than the sugar factories in Huaxia.

In order to promote the neat progress of the sugar industry in China, it is necessary to produce these machines through imitation......

The employees of the sugar factory finally brought back four Dutchmen, all but one of whom were supervisors, and the other three were production technicians.

Li Zicheng summoned four people separately and gave them conditions: first, to leave the complete sugar production technology, and then unconditionally release, if they want to return to Batavia, the South China Sea Fleet will give them a small transport ship, as well as enough food and fresh water; Second, if you stay and help produce sugar, the remuneration will be twice as much.

He even promised the four Dutchmen that they could choose to become Chinese nationals, marry and have children in China in the future, and if their wives and children were captured in Xiamen, they would be released immediately.

You can use civilized means, and you don't need to kill!

Li Zicheng used both soft and hard, and finally forced the four of them to agree to hand over all the production technology, but for the production of machines, they all said that they could not do anything - they would only use machines, but not produce machines, and the production of machines was the business of another factory!

With the ingenuity of the Chinese people, it should not be difficult to imitate this simple machine, Li Zicheng did not dwell on the machine itself, but let the four people immediately put into production, let the Han hired workers follow and learn, as long as these Han hired workers can independently produce sugar, they will be released.

These Han hired workers, from Xiamen a trip, did not expect a pie to fall from the sky, they followed the Dutch to learn the production technology of sugar, in the future no matter who takes over the sugar factory, they have mastered all the production technology, they will get a good remuneration, from the lowly manual hired labor, into the ranks of high-paid technicians.

The hired men are grateful to the Dutch, and even more grateful to the emperor!

Li Zicheng is already thinking, since the sugar production technology is left, who will the sugar factory be handed over to produce in the future?

Taiwan's indigenous people have not yet been civilized, and the immigrants who came to Taiwan from Fujian are the poorest people and do not have the financial resources to produce sugar.

It is better to hand it over to the wealthy businessmen of Fujian and Guangdong.

The Zheng family took control of Jinkai Trading Co., Ltd., and the future shareholders should have an advantage in Fujian, so the sugar factory should be handed over to the merchants of Guangdong.

There are two sugar factories in the city, which should be handed over to two merchants, and competition will benefit the people, otherwise, if it is a monopoly, the purchase price of sugarcane may be reduced to a minimum in the future, and the real income of the people will be limited.

In addition, through the contract purchase price, take the lead in popularizing the law among the people of Anhua, and it does not require much work, but it is just that the manufacturers and the people who produce sugarcane must realize that they must act in accordance with the contract, and if anyone violates the contract, even if they are bankrupt, they must be held accountable according to the law.

The law must be obeyed by both the merchants and the people!

For the sugar produced, Li Zicheng is not worried.

The sugar factory produces granulated sugar, which can be sold to the mainland of China, or sold to the Portuguese as goods for sea trade.

The Han Chinese employees of the sugar factory had not yet fully learned the production technology, and Li Zicheng received a message: A large number of warships had appeared on the sea south of Taiwan, and they were heading for the Taiwan Strait, and the battleships were flying the red, white, and blue tricolor flags, which should be Dutch warships!

After Zhou Kun got the information, he had already led all the ships to sea to meet the enemy, and he sent a message back, asking the emperor to take advantage of the arrival of the Dutch and quickly withdraw to the safety of Xiamen......

Li Zicheng was shocked, a large number of Dutch warships went north, obviously to recapture Taiwan by force!

Zhou Kun personally led the main force of the South China Sea Fleet to meet the Dutch fleet, although he showed the fearless spirit of the soldiers, but the South China Sea Fleet had just entered the sea, and the temperament of the sea was not yet familiar.

If defeated, as long as the Dutch retreat to Batavia, the South China Sea Fleet will definitely not be able to take the initiative to pursue, at most it will stabilize the Taiwan it has already occupied; In the event of a defeat in a naval battle for the South China Sea Fleet, will all the warships be destroyed? The battle took place on the sea, and the soldiers on the battleship ......

The last time I attacked Taiwan, because I was worried that the real combat strength of the South China Sea Fleet was to use a night landing and then a surprise attack, to solve the Dutch on land.

Will the South China Sea Fleet, which he has painstakingly managed, be crushed by the Dutch because of this rash advance?

Li Zicheng remembered Zheng Zhilong.

Although Zheng Zhilong's third battalion did not have advanced warships, he fought with the Dutch many times and was very familiar with the Dutch's fighting methods......

He immediately summoned the liaison officer of the South China Sea Fleet who remained in Anhua City, "Where is Zheng Zhilong?" He had already been asked to go south, why hadn't he arrived in Anhua yet? ”

Seeing that the emperor was rarely angry, the liaison officer knew that the matter was important, so he said carefully: "Back to the emperor, the third battalion of Deputy Commander Zheng has already gone south, but he is going to the open sea......"

"Open sea?" Li Zicheng immediately understood that Zheng Zhilong was heading south from the coastline east of Taiwan Island, "Where is he now?" ”

"The villain doesn't know ......" The liaison officer was sincerely afraid, "Deputy Commander Zheng is on the sea, not only does the villain not know, but even Commander Zhou doesn't know where Deputy Commander Zheng is now......"

"Find, send someone to find it immediately!" Li Zicheng was indeed annoyed, at the critical moment, the small half of the South China Sea Fleet could not be contacted, this Zheng Zhilong ...... It seems that after this battle is over, the third battalion will be put into the team as soon as possible, and let Zhou Kun command it in a unified manner, "At all costs, notify Zheng Zhilong and let him join Zhou Kun as soon as possible!"

"Yes, the villain is going to give the order!"

Although the liaison officer was gone, Li Zicheng was even more worried.

The battleships in Zhou Kun's hands had two "Chengdu-class" and five "Chongqing-class", but according to Zheng Zhilong's words, the number of guns on these battleships was seriously insufficient and had to be refitted.

The two Portuguese warships captured from Ho Jing may not really form combat effectiveness, and the rest are old ships and armed ships, which are not only small in tonnage, slow in speed, but also lack firepower, and it is not known whether they pose a threat to the Dutch warships......

There are many transport ships parked in the port of Anhua, Li Zicheng can return to Xiamen with his own soldiers, and then deal with the aftermath after the battle, but Anhua City has been taken over by Huaxia and is being rebuilt.

It suddenly occurred to him that the South China Sea Fleet was going to be reformed, and the real naval officers and men needed to be organized separately from the soldiers of the land battle!

This naval battle, this is a soldier who is skilled in land warfare, and it cannot be put to use.

However, this is a matter of the future, and what can be done now is to hold the city of Anhua and the wharf, in case Zhou Kun loses in the naval battle, and when he returns to Taiwan, he can still find the home of the South China Sea Fleet......

On Li Zicheng's side, there was only one thousand personal soldiers, but these personal soldiers were all armed with rifles.

He divided his soldiers into two groups, he personally led eight hundred families to guard the dock, and the remaining two hundred households, together with the soldiers of the South China Sea Fleet, stayed behind to guard Anhua City.

He Xiaomi was worried about Li Zicheng's safety, "Your Majesty, Commander Zhou left a lot of transport ships at the dock, just hoping that the emperor would return to a safe place in Xiamen, and he would sacrifice his life at sea......

"Xiaomi, the officers and men of the South China Sea Fleet are desperately working ahead, even if I hide in Xiamen, can I rest assured?" Li Zicheng waved his hand: "Xiaomi, send orders to the soldiers of the South China Sea Fleet, let them take sentinel ships and transport ships to the sea to find out the movements of the Dutch." ”

"Your Majesty, in case the Dutch come to Anhua, there is no transport ship......"

"Don't worry, Xiaomi, I'm by my side, with you guarding," Li Zicheng said: "Even if the Dutch come, will they have a chance to land?" ”

Although He Xiaomi was unwilling, he did not dare to disobey the emperor's order, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Your Majesty, let the soldiers of the South China Sea Fleet go to inquire about the information......
