Since the decline of Spain and Portugal, the Netherlands has replaced them as the dominant maritime power, covering all oceans and controlling important nodes in major shipping lanes and routes.

Since the 30th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch have appeared in Southeast Asia to trade spices.

Trade is a process in which all parties involved trade with each other, and at a time when the West has nothing to offer, especially in the Netherlands, there is nothing that can be exchanged.

In order to obtain spices, they had to exchange other things with the natives, and the Dutch and even the Westerners did not have products that the world demanded.

In order to obtain spices, the Dutch had only two methods, one was to grab them directly, and the other was to expand trade with China and obtain the silk fabrics and porcelain needed all over the world for exchange.

In order to trade with China, the Dutch tried to obtain trade channels with China, and successively provoked wars in Penghu and Liaoluo Bay, intending to use force to coerce China to open the market, but they were defeated by the Ming army.

After the First World War of Liaoluowan, the Netherlands was much more honest, but they took advantage of the opportunity of the Ming Dynasty to steal Taiwan, so they built two fortresses with stones in the dangerous place of Dayuanwan, which were called Chikan Fort on land, and Gelanza Fort on the body of a kun.

In recent years, the open maritime trade policy of Nanming has made the status of Dayuan rise rapidly within the East India Company, and hundreds of sea vessels have gathered in Dayuan Bay.

At this time, in the council chamber of the fort, the councillors of the East India Company were deliberating around a round table.

The Dutch from Batavia all showed excitement on their faces, while the Taiwan councillors still remembered the Battle of Liuluo Bay more than 10 years ago, and they were afraid of the strength of the Zheng family, and their faces showed a worried look.

At this time, Fairberg, the governor of Taiwan, looked at the crowd and stood up, "I think the company is too impulsive in dealing with China's problems. The Zheng family is strong at sea, and we shouldn't provoke them. ”

The commander of the fleet from Batavia, Kaau, also stood up in the face of the accusation, "Your Excellency, you must know that His Majesty the Emperor of Wei has not only received representatives of the company, but also emissaries from Spain and Portugal. Do you know how much benefit this will bring to the company? If your Taiwan Council is unwilling to do this, our Batavia branch is willing to do it, and the benefits that the company will receive from Wei will have nothing to do with the Taiwan Council. ”

"Oh no, no, no, no, it's not going to work!" Felberg's expression was exaggerated, "Trade with China is the responsibility of the Taiwan Council, and the benefits obtained from China naturally belong to the Taiwan Council." ”

As he spoke, he spread his hands, "Okay, I'll take back what I just said!" ”

The trade priority given by Gao Yihuan is really too tempting, of course, Gao Yihuan did not just give the Dutch a promise, but also said the same to the Spaniards.

Seeing this, Kawu sat back, "Your Excellency the Governor has finally made a wise decision. In fact, now everyone can see that the internal struggle of the Chinese will be won by the Wei State, and the Ming State will become a thing of the past. ”

The councillor on the side supported Kao Wu Dao: "Zheng Yiguan's family has been divided, and now is the time for the Zheng family to be weak." The company helped Wei State, which was able to sign an agreement with Wei State and eliminate the Zheng family with the help of Wei State. The internal fighting of the Chinese is equivalent to cutting off their arms, and without the Zheng family at sea, it is the world of our company, and at that time it may be possible to coerce the Wei State to obtain the exclusive right to trade and monopolize China's maritime trade. ”

The Dutch is known as the coachman of the sea, and what he does is to resell goods and monopolize the trade with China, which is what the Dutch dream of.

With a greedy look in everyone's eyes, Felborg sat down again and slowed down: "Well, since most of the parliamentarians are in favor, then I have no opinion. However, I received news that Zheng Sen's fleet was assembled in Xiamen, and we must beware of Mingguo's retaliation. ”

Kao Wu said with a smile: "In addition to the fact that there are many people and many boats, the Zheng family actually has nothing powerful. Their ships are not at all comparable to the company's gunboats, the big men are far away from China, and they have fortresses to cooperate, as long as they don't let them go ashore, they can't do anything about us. When the Wei army swept away the Ming army on land, the Zheng family would naturally be finished. When the time comes, the company will replace the Zheng family and become the hegemon in the South China Sea and the East China Sea. ”

"The topography of Dayuan Bay is complex, and there are only two entrances to the harbor, which are divided into two channels, north and south. The southern channel is only passable between the body of a kun and the tail island of the northern line, and we have built Fort Relanza on a kun, so as long as the ships block the channel and the heavy artillery on Fort Geranza cooperates, the sailors of the Zheng family will not be able to enter. The northern channel is between the end of the northern line and Luermen Island, compared with the south channel with a wide water depth and easy for ships to enter, the northern channel is shallow and narrow, and can only pass through small boats, and there are too many reefs, and the route is complicated, we can put 200 Dutch soldiers on the tail island of the northern line to prevent the Zheng family's ships from entering from there. ”

He said with a smile and said, "As long as the Zheng family's ship is not allowed to enter the bay, the Zheng family's ship has nowhere to hide from the wind and waves, and a storm will be able to wipe them out!" ”

The Dutch around the round table were relieved when they heard what he said.

Taiwan, previously known as the Great Ryukyu, from the Eastern Wu period, the Central Plains Dynasty in name, opened the rule of Taiwan, but the real development of Taiwan, it was the end of the Ming Dynasty.

This development was not led by the government, but Zheng Zhilong, who was then a Haikou servant, set up a banner and a handsome flag in Taiwan, recruited 500,000 people to develop Taiwan, and turned Taiwan into a base for his plundering and smuggling.

Later, Zheng Zhilong was appeased by the Ming Dynasty, and Zheng Zhilong went to Fujian, but most of these people stayed on Taiwan Island and established villages.

After the arrival of the Dutch, these villages were ruled by the Dutch, and the villagers repeatedly rebelled, but they were brutally suppressed by the Dutch.

Chen Zilong led the soldiers and horses, came to Xiamen to meet Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Chenggong did not immediately cross the sea to attack, but kept waiting, just when Chen Zilong was impatient, Zheng Chenggong suddenly found him and told him that he could cross the sea.

In order to attack Taiwan, in addition to relying on manpower, it is also necessary to rely on intelligence, and when looking at the sky, Zheng Chenggong has not done nothing these days, but is waiting for the information to be transmitted back from the island, and waiting for the time to come.

On 20 July, Zheng Chenggong sacrificed to the sky and the sea at Gulangyu Island, and then led three gunboats, 1,000 large and small sea ships, and 20,000 soldiers, set out from Xiamen, replenished some fresh water in Penghu, and then went straight to Dayuan Bay.

At night, the moon is sparse, the sea is sparkling, and a huge fleet appears outside Dayuan Bay, with layers of ships, like a moving Black Mountain.

On Zheng Chenggong's boat, Zheng Chenggong stood at the bow of the ship and ordered in a deep voice, "Gan Hui blocks the southern channel to prevent Hongmaoyi from escaping, and the rest of the warships will directly enter Dayuan Bay from Luermen!" ”
