"God, all my afflictions are ready for you, let me face more suffering, and you will know how pious I am—"

The music used a two-part singing method, which changed the previous Gregorian singing method.

It fully expresses the sacredness, solemnity, and solemnity of religion.

"This must only be heard in heaven—" Pastor Daniel's tears fell, and all his piety, God must have known.

Captain Wu Jianqiang and Captain Fang Ming both crossed their arms and looked at Pastor Ni Danlie on the screen, and they didn't speak.

Captain Fang Ming suddenly sighed and said, "Captain Wu—why do I feel a little uncomfortable. ”

"All the, let's get it done, right?

"Do what?"

Wu Dapeng said that we must strengthen the liliang of European theocracy, and do not allow the challenge of secular liliang - we are "parents are here, not far away", but also let them "God is here, not far away". How good is my hometown, I have nothing to do and run around, farm well, go to work, isn't it? ”

"Ah, isn't that helping them?"

"yes, I don't understand it - listen to that meaning, they will not only sell cable radio jishu and some medical jishu to some pope in the future, so that Westerners can listen to God's voice more and feel God's care, but also provide them with more advanced agricultural jishu-"

"Nonsense, if this is passed on to jishu, how many more people will they feed?!" Captain Fang Ming was really angry. This is to shoot foreigners' sycophants, a typical foreigner, we are all so powerful, how can we still have the idea of stammering foreigners?! It's infuriating!!

"Who knows, can't understand what they're doing, in the clouds. However, do you see what has happened to those boys so far? ”

"That's true, but what about later?"

"I'm worried, too—but don't we all have ten-year contracts, and we'll talk about it then."

"That's right, when I go back to Relanza City, I will also talk about it on the Internet, young people are impulsive and easy to do wrong things - hey, what are you filming me for?"

"How old are you? You're not a young man? Still pretending to be old? ”

The two of them shouted in unison, completely ignoring Pastor Daniel Ni on the screen.

The road to Hongmao City in the Tamsui area is not bad.

Because this road is where the coal is transported from the Taipei Basin area to the city of Geranza. Of course, the coal output at this time was far from the level of the small coal kilns of later generations, and it was basically mining surface coal seams, which could not even be compared with the coal mining jishu in the Ming Continent. Coal was used in smaller quantities, only for the small blacksmiths and the daily lives of the townspeople of Geranza.

In the era when the weight was used as a unit of weight, it could never reach the level of commercialization.

The road after the rain was a little muddy, but Pastor Nee walked very firmly, not caring about getting wet and soiling himself, he felt that his heart was like a white and immaculate moon, full of God's radiance.

He occasionally looked at the two Ming people who followed him, they were completely indulged in worldly pleasures, and they couldn't extricate themselves. For a moment, Pastor Nee forgot the bad words they had said when they helped him get off the boat.

These are the Lambs who are looking forward to God's leading! But how could I be a little confused before? It shouldn't be.

He strode forward, toward Fort Anthony.

When the Spaniards occupied the Tamsui region in the past, they built a small castle and named it "Santo Domingo".

After the Spaniards later dismantled it because they were unable to defend it, in 1642, the Dutch went north, and in the spring of 1644, after "going down to the city of Tamsui without a fight", the craftsmen of the Ming people were transported from the city of Geranza to rebuild the city on the original basis of the "city of Santo Domingo", and in addition to stone, lime, bricks, and tiles were also transported from Fujian and Batavia.

From this, we can see that the Dutch are by no means building and developing Taiwan in the proper sense of the word, and they would rather pay a larger price from Batavia than build brick kilns and lime factories there.

In this day and age, these are very common jishu.

This was hated by the traversers, who had no ready-made property to take over. People who come from the 21st century are ashamed to talk about such low-level infrastructure construction first.

Gu said that the Dutch use lime in large quantities, amounting to thousands of bales. In addition to digging deep foundations, vault-like structures were also used, proving the determination of the Dutch to build a very strong castle. Of course, this is by 17th-century standards.

According to the documents of the time, the construction was very arduous, and by the end of 1645, due to heavy rains, it was not possible to complete the construction on time, so the reconstruction of Hongmao Castle was completed around 1646. The city was also named "Fort Anthony". Because the Ming people called the Dutch "red hair" and "red yi", this city was called "red hair city" by the people.

The main fort of the Red Hair City is a square pattern. It is suitable for defense, with a deep foundation, thick walls, and the masonry method of "outer stone and inner brick", which is as thick as 1.9 meters. This was not afraid of artillery fire in ancient times, of course, this also has a certain limit, and artillery over 18 pounds can still collapse after approaching it.

The three seven cannons of the traversers will definitely not be able to break it, but it is impossible for the Dutch to know that the traversers have no intention of breaking it, they are here to bully the ancients, not to play with the ancients.

Probably because of the high terrain, the Dutch did not build a protruding pillbox, but only used the southwest corner of the staircase as the center of the defense, because it was facing the Tamsui River.

With a total height of about 13 meters, the main fort of Hongmao Castle is divided into two floors, and the interior is built with a semi-cylindrical dome structure.

The ground floor is divided into four rooms, two of which are used as prisons, and the other two are used as warehouses. Just take it down and talk about it.

The second floor is also divided into four rooms, three of which are used for office purposes. The largest one, with a dome top of more than six meters high, served as the office of the defender commander.

In 1632, the Spaniards entered the Taipei Basin, subjugated the "Fan Societies" along the river, and opened a land route from Tamsui to Keelung (about the present-day Yangjin Highway), or relied on small boats from the Keelung River to Keelung, and also extended to Shili to Hsinchu. Catholic priests also accompanied him to preach and build churches to educate the people.

After the Dutch occupied, they not only completely inherited the career of the Spaniards, but also focused more on the development of the Taipei Basin, leasing the land opened up by the wasteland to the Ming people, collecting land rents and various taxes.

The Dutch had a good little life. If the traversers hadn't come.

According to various historical records, this place is not a good place. The content of the Qing records is the most frightening. Plagues are abundant, savages are ferocious, and they cannot be cultivated.

Of course, if you just want to occupy the land as the king, recruit a wide range of people, and cultivate grain for military funds, the above account will definitely scare away the traversers.

Taiwan's Taipei Basin area is a chicken rib! We're not going to develop it, we're going to let it develop itself. Among the Jihua of the traversers, the Red Hair City is their dish.

In terms of current productivity, the problem of seasonal flooding of the Tamsui Creek cannot be solved. Otherwise, the natives would not have gone to live halfway up the mountain. Don't talk nonsense, no one is born a child of the mountain.

We want coal, the natives want food, we want metal, and we'll calculate the ratio based on the calories you pay. They had learned a lot about the experience of the estuary base, where the traversers and the young natives had a deep affection for each other.

For example, if you transport 100 catties of coal to the mouth of the Tamsui River, from mining to transportation, you are considered to be heavy physical labor, you consume about 1,000 calories an hour, count 10 hours, I will pay you 10 catties of rice, enough 15,000 calories, you are cheap, right? You may not know the concept of calories, but you can always know how much food feeds how many people.

Thinking back to the shijie on that side, you will find that wages are really rising, but prices are really rising, you are really running around, some people say that it is the magic hand of the market economy that is controlling, but I really want to say that it is a magic brain that calculates you. Even the barbecue vendor once sighed, really, I received more cents, and I paid more unconsciously, it's weird, it's the same as a few years ago.

So the traversers will do the same, just let the natives live a little better than before, and they will be grateful to Dade. If the natives can really save money, then the traversers will wave huge scissors and cut them at once, and all kinds of methods of using scissors are already written in their diaries.

If you had real free property, would you still fucking listen to me? For the time being, the natives do not enjoy the treatment of the Ming people.

The local natives must be made to run for survival, so that they do not have time to think and have no energy to resist.

Of course, the range of the rush is within the designated range of the traversers. In this way, this place can be developed smoothly, and at the same time, the development purpose of the traversers can be achieved.

Life should be a yearning for beauty, but now it is just survival, and everything is based on reality.

Pastor Daniel Nee was right about the time-travelers, they really had bad intentions, but they were even more invisible, and people in the 17th century couldn't see it.

When they were about to arrive at Hongmao City, Wu Hualong and his little brother had already pretended to go back. They're not stupid and won't come out at this time. They found a place to look at Hongmao City from a distance, and they had to find out how Hongmaobo was reacting, which was also a task.

The Dutch are busy in this illegal building without the approval of the urban construction department.

Captain Bowen was taken aback by the arrival of Pastor Daniel Nee: "Why, those devils can let you go?" ”

"They're not devils—"

"Of course not, they must have been the work of the Spanish." Captain Bowen said in a haughty manner, "The deserters always give me information that is diametrically opposed. ”

With that, Captain Bowen looked at the mercenaries who had helped strengthen the city with contempt. They are shameful deserters, who have collectively negotiated and made excuses for their cowardice.

"Those people are terrible people, people with endless liliang, but it's a pity that they are not God's people!"

Captain Bowen smiled and said, "It's your business to make them God's people, and I'm just in charge of making it possible." ”

After speaking, he drew his sword, and in the sun, the narrow blade of the Western-style saber refracted the light of the sun. In the breeze, Captain Bowen's shoulder-length red hair was very flowing.

Pastor Daniel's heart ached, this is a young life.

"Haha, God needs a sword to protect it!" Captain Bowen was still in high spirits, and he casually played a sword flower, and he was full of brilliance.

"Captain Bowen, may I come to your office and talk?"

Captain Bowen's blue eyes glanced earnestly at Pastor Daniel Nee, who felt a chill.

"What about Governor Oward? I'm sure I'm going to die, and neither will he. Captain Bowen whispered, "Did 'they' send you?" ”

Bowen bites the word "them" hard.

"Yes, I don't know what happened to Governor Oward, they sent me to talk to you."

"I want to get real information."

Pastor Daniel Nee said sadly, "Yes, as you wish." ”

Captain Bowen's heart sank.

In Captain Bowen's office, Pastor Daniel saw the disgusting tax bills again, this little thing had become an unforgettable shadow on him, and the figure of the little man appeared in his mind again. No one can punish a man who has done something wrong with a more vicious way than whipping and burning. Although this mistake was not his intention, his rebuke left him speechless.

"How long did it take you to get here?" Captain Bowen said casually.

"They sent me by boat."

Captain Bowen's blue eyes were frosty.

"They blocked the estuary? How many ships? Probably how many guns? ”

When will I escape, O world? Pastor Ni Danli thought sadly.

"One boat, two guns," added Captain Bowen before he could smile; "All our ships are not as big as it, and it is still made of iron, and the two guns can fire in bursts and can explode."

Captain Bowen examined Pastor Daniel's face.

"They're going to blackmail you?"

"Nope! You don't question a man who gives all his devotion to God! ”

Thanks to the help of my old friends Yezhongye, Mei Lezhi, and Drunk and Unpromiscuous, I will survive this difficult period.

I also thank those book friends who have subscribed fully, which all give me confidence.
