Li Shouxin looked at Wang Yan with sympathetic eyes, until he looked at this regiment-level staff officer with a creepy look, Li Shouxin said: "When Officer Zhou led the troops, you stayed in Lizhuang, and later went to Hirado with the mission, and then stayed directly in Taiwan to wait for the formation of troops, I guess you really don't know him, so let's do it, when you leave, I will invite you to drink, eat more venison, nourish your body, and I will ask someone to prepare some good medicine for bruises and injuries for you to bring with you......"

The people present laughed when he said this, and Wang Yan himself became nervous. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chang Wei smiled: "Since you are going to Qingcheng, presumably my brother will summon you to ask about the situation in Taiwan in person, and you can report it truthfully." However, it should be emphasized that although the situation on our side is tense, it is not yet time for the sword to meet. We want to build big ships, we are taking precautions, and everything will be based on the needs of the military department. ”

Wang Yan nodded, before sending Gan Hui out was also to blow the wind on the Liaodong side, creating some tension and oppression, the Taiwan side did not pay much attention to the tense atmosphere of all parties, from the strength of the naval division to the strength of the land division, the Taiwan side has the confidence to break the wrist with the Dutch, and at the same time, considering that the Daming naval division now stationed in Penghu still has considerable strength, it must be an effective containment of the Dutch, coupled with the good relationship with the Ming civil and military officials including the governor, how dare the Dutch ...... Including Chang Wei, the top leaders on the Taiwan side are not too worried.

"When are you leaving?" Zhang Xuwen said gently: "When the time comes, we will also practice it for you." ”

"Zhang Zhengshi doesn't have to be polite." Wang Yan said with a smile: "I heard that you are going down the river, this time you plan to go deep three hundred miles away, there are quite a lot of Gaoshan people over there, in terms of safety, please be more careful." ”

If you look at it from the map, at this time and Yusheng opened up the place is the later Tainan City, Taiwan, belonging to the east of the north-south island, and the Penghu Islands are very close, so it is also the best choice for Yan Siqi and others to choose to settle down and establish a foundation, near the Penghu islands, is the outlet of the Tamsui River, the plain area, it is really easy to settle down and reclaim, the early ten villages were established, smooth sailing, Fujian locals are also very adaptable to Taiwan's climate, diet and water quality, malaria is not too big, not like the later large-scale migrationMalaria is rampant and has caused great distress.

From the satellite map, it can be found that the Shizhai area is the estuary area of several freshwater rivers in Taiwan, and what Zhang Xuwen has to do now is to go east along the estuary, and the scheduled distance is 300 miles away, which is beyond the current range of the control of the marching division and the sentinel to the range.

Chang Wei was also a little worried, and said: "Look at what the local mountain people who have formed associations say, Dakeng, Shoucheng Mountain, Wufeng, Dahengping Mountain, Daping Mountain, Aleng Mountain, Baxian Mountain, Kaidao Mountain, Meifeng, Duanyan...... That day, the man said the name of the place inside, and I felt a headache when I heard it. Bengang to the Dutch built the city of Geranza, the terrain is the same, the south is sharp and the north is wide, and the water meets, and there is too much water in many places, forming a swamp and a peaceful place where the land meets, and the slightest carelessness will fall into the mud, and the march is very difficult. Two hundred miles away, there are many mountains and few flat lands, and the natives are all in association in the mountains, and this generation is clothed with hair and tattoos, and the temperament is fierce and difficult to tame, and we have not had much to do to tame these people so far. Brother Xuwen insisted on going east all the time, which really made me very worried. ”

In the opinion of Chang Wei and others, in the place where Bengang lives, the survey of the area of nearly 200 miles, in addition to the near overseas, there are several large rivers rushing through, and there are five or six streams of considerable scale in the territory, in addition to the convergence of a considerable wetland area, but also make the plain land washed down is unusually fertile, Fujian can not find such a primitive fertile place, such a large place, the land is calculated in millions of acres, in fact, Zheng Chenggong later immigrated more than 100,000 people in Tainan to resettle, After taking the city of Gelanza, it was changed to the residence of the county king, and later the part of Tainan was changed to Dongning Mansion, and the Qing army set up a government in Tainan after conquering Taiwan, and it was not changed to Taipei until more than 200 years later, which can be said to be the best place for immigration and reclamation, and can be called the best springboard for governing the whole Taiwan.

Now that we have occupied a good place, it is necessary to continue to explore militarily, and Zhang Xuwen represents the civil sector, so it seems that there is not much need.

"Standing up for political affairs, colleagues." Zhang Xuwen said: "We are running a foundation overseas for adults, whether it is north or south, it is an unshakable foundation." No matter what happens to the Ming Dynasty in the future, it can be regarded as an advance or an attack, and a retreat can be defended. If we were to settle for this small piece of territory, or something that we shared with the Dutch, there would be little need to explore it in the future. If we want to lay a foundation for the adults to rely on, then we can't be trapped in a corner of Bengang in any way. ”

Chang Wei and others only knew Zhang Xuwen's true plan at this time.

Indeed, according to Zhang Xuwen's statement at this time, then the exploration of civil affairs officials is very necessary. Militarily speaking, elite sentinels have explored the north, south, and east. According to the previous sentinel report, most of the terrain along the coast for about 200 miles is similar to that of Tainan, with plains and mountains intertwined, mainly plains, and the land is fertile and very lush, which is a heaven-sent treasure land. All the way to the ports in the far north, the same is true of Taipei, where the Spaniards lived, and to the south it is already very small, and it is basically exactly the same.

And to the east, the more east you go, the higher the terrain, the more mountains and the less flat land, and even some places are completely mountainous, a mountain is even a mountain, there are almost very few flat land on the mountain, the mountain people are planting a few crops on the day, such as sorghum and other drought-tolerant crops, usually hunting and picking wild fruits and vegetables for a living, life is very hard.

The topography of Taiwan is like this, the coastline from Penghu to Tainan and Taipei is a plain, and the further east you go, the higher the terrain, and even the east and west cannot be connected, and the north and south cannot communicate.

"Always be careful of the mountain people." Chang Wei couldn't persuade anymore, so he had to say: "Although his generation is not a cannibal, he is also unruly, so be careful in the continuation of the text." ”

"Of course, this time it is mainly surveyed, and contact is secondary." Zhang Xuwen said with a smile: "But we must always strengthen contact and make it fearful." We want to occupy the whole of Taiwan as our foundation, and unless we kill and slaughter the mountain people, we must always make contact with them and slowly make them submit to us. ”

"Remember submission and submission." Chang Wei smiled slightly, but he was domineering: "Those old men of theirs have a lot of stinky rules, all we can promise is to give them land and food, and they will exchange labor for them, as for their customs and rules, don't talk about them." It is they who are submissive and integrated into us, and that must be upheld. Adults do the same in the grassland, if we tend to be here for a while, and keep those wild natures for them, there will be endless troubles in the future, not only for us, but also for our children and grandchildren. The adults once said that our Chinese ancestors are carrying bows and arrows to say benevolence, and slowly occupy such a big land now, our descendants, the descendants of the Yellow Emperor and Miao, can not embarrass our ancestors. ”

Zhang Xuwen nodded lightly, in fact, if you do it in a pure Huairou route, and sprinkle grain all the way to the benefits, the natives lack all kinds of iron tools, and it is not completely impossible for the Taiwan Marching Division to subdue some Gaoshan tribes. But in that case, Chang Wei and the military did not agree, and Zhang Xuwen himself did not agree.

Everyone has the experience of dealing with the northern captives on the grassland, and they know that it is useless for these people with more primitive civilizations to blindly please, and they will have to give more today to tomorrow, and if they don't give the first two days the day after tomorrow, they will give it in vain, and they will repay their grievances. Unless it is to use the production of the military division, there is no bottom line, no principles, and no time limit to blindly please these people, but in this way, is it to conquer them or to support these people as fathers?

Only by holding food in one hand and a sword in the other, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die, give them a chance to survive under the sword, master this degree, and then slowly instill them with Chinese civilization, this is a good way to make them truly integrate.

It's just that this degree, how to grasp it, has not yet been determined. Just like the last time Zhang Xuwen and others came over, the natives attacked, and the military secretary killed all the elders and elders of his tribe, leaving only the young and strong and children, so that the defeated and captured natives could truly return to obedience and be incorporated into various tunzhuang.

"Let's cherish each other." Chang Wei will also take a boat to the sea in a few days, and go to Hirado to discuss with Li Guozhu about the disposal of the materials that the Li family put in Bengang, Yan Siqi and others were also Li Dan's subordinates in the past, and Bengang can also be regarded as the Li family's industry, and there is no problem with a large amount of valuable goods and cash here. But now Bengang is the foundation of Yusheng, and the relationship with the Li family is at most a friendly alliance, Chang Wei doesn't know what Li Guozhu thinks, in order to win the trust of the allies, no matter how short of money is on the Taiwan side, there is no idea of hitting other people's warehouses, and even in normal times, Chang Wei does not allow anyone to approach the warehouse area of the Li family, this matter has dragged on for a long time, and it is not appropriate to drag it on any longer.

Chang Wei went to Pingdo, Wang Yan went to Qingcheng to report, and Zhang Xuwen also had to travel far into the mountains, and he might not be able to come back for ten days and a half months. Li Pingzhi was still in Fuzhou and did not come back, and Jiang Kui, Li Shouxin and others were ordered to guard the old camp.

In this era, a long distance of thousands of miles, even a sturdy young man does not dare to guarantee that he will not be sick, and in addition to Zhang Xuwen have to take a boat, the wind and waves at sea are no way to predict and avoid, hundreds of years later, there are fishing boats that are shipwrecked, not to mention the era of sail wooden boats, everyone's look is very solemn, the look is like, because this goodbye, may also be the last time to meet in this life, next time goodbye, maybe there will be no one who will never come back.

After everyone said goodbye, they dispersed, Chang Wei grabbed Jiang Kui and said softly: "The guards on Dezhnev's side must be strengthened." The Dutch city of Geranza is very close to us, and if they find out about the existence of these Russians, it is difficult to say what they will do, and if they come by surprise and rob people, they will probably suffer if they are caught off guard. We were just able to despise the Dutch when there were too many of them, but they should be our rivals. I have inquired that their muskets are quite accurate and sharp, the range is not under our firearms, and their veterans are also experienced in many battles, and they are really not afraid of death. You think that these people are floating overseas from tens of thousands of miles away, what a fierce and daring character. After many years at sea, they suppressed and slaughtered the natives everywhere, and developed a skillful fighting skill and the will to kill, and these people really fought, and more than 1,000 people were not unable to fight with our 4th Regiment, not to mention that they had quite a strong strength in Batavia, and at the most they heard about 10,000 men. In short, be careful! ”

Jiang Kui's face was shocked, and he said after half a sound: "I know, I must be more careful." ”
