In the Qianqing Palace in the Nanjing Palace City, Zhu Hengjia looked at a large number of memorials and sipped tea calmly. After these years, he has become accustomed to reviewing memorials every day and never tires of it. Really, power is addictive! No matter how hard or tired you are, you can’t bear to let go.
While he was happily reviewing, he suddenly thought of Taiwan and said to Zhao Lixian, the eunuch and eunuch who was serving at the side: "Go and get the memorial about Taiwan."
"My slave obeys the order!"
After a while, a stack of memorials was placed in front of the imperial case.
Opening the first title book, it was written by Qiu Zizhang, the Chief Minister of Taiwan. It said:
"Report for the establishment of prefectures and counties in Taiwan
I heard from Zhang Wen: All the emperors in the past dynasties set up officials to ward off the local barbarians. Han and barbarians have lived together in Taiwan, and they have not obeyed the king for a long time. There are no prefectures and counties to protect the land. I thank the emperor for his kindness and promoted me to this position, and I always want to repay your majesty. . It is recommended that two prefectures and one county be established in Taiwan to ensure stability in the east and tranquility on the sea frontier. Keelung Prefecture is set up in Taipei, which governs the three counties of Tamsui, Taoyuan, and Hsinchu, and governs Tamsui; Dongning Prefecture is established in Tainan, which governs the Taiwan Strait and Fenghuang. Shan, the three counties of Chiayi, Ten Thousand Years, and the two prefectures of Tianxing, govern the Taiwan Strait; and the land of Penghu is very close to Taiwan, so it is appropriate to move from Fujian to Taiwan, and set up Penghu County to govern it. I have a humble opinion, and with sincerity and fear, I await the Holy See."
Zhu Hengjia nodded after reading this. This Qiu Zizhang is good. He knows how to prepare for rainy days. Before Taiwan was conquered, he had already considered setting up prefectures and counties in Taiwan.
However, this person's steps are a bit too big. The Ming Dynasty's actual control area in Taiwan is just a small area of Tainan. Half of the so-called three counties and two states in Dongning Prefecture mentioned above are in the hands of Gaoshan village communities. , as for Taipei, it is beyond reach. Will the hasty establishment of prefectures and county governance cause dissatisfaction among these tribes?
Then I thought, could it be that the whole world is the land of the king? The shores of the land are the ministers of the king. I spent so much effort to regain Taiwan. Could it be that I was making wedding clothes for the chiefs?
He was so arrogant that since prefectures and counties were to be established, not only Tainan, Taipei, and Taichung, where the Dadu Kingdom and various Gaoshan tribes were located, but also prefectures and counties were to be established. Our Ming Dynasty will never allow any king to rule over it. The place you reach exists!
Replying to Qiu Zizhang, he said: "Looking at the inscribed version, it is very commendable. However, Taichung is not mentioned in it. In my opinion, in addition to the three counties and two prefectures of Dongning Prefecture, the three counties of Keelung Prefecture, and the one county of Penghu Prefecture, Taichung Prefecture must be added. , governs the three counties of Changhua, Nantou, and Yunlin, and governs Changhua. Dongning Prefecture, Penghu County, Keelung, and Taichung Prefectures can be established first, and then be established after the red-haired barbarians are expelled. If there are any tribes that are not convinced by Wang Hua, they will be destroyed. ".
Looking at the second inscription, it was written by Yu Tunan, the governor of Taiwan, and it says:
"Recruiting troops for Taiwan
Your Majesty, Yu Tunan, presented this report: Your Majesty will not give up, and I entrust you with the task of sealing the territory. I will not hesitate to fight against the red-haired barbarians. It is the right thing to do. Even if a white blade touches your body, what is there to fear? However, in the land of Taiwan, the mountains are high. The water is far away and there are many tribes. The Han barbarians are many brave and fierce people. I would like to recruit 10,000 soldiers here to support the war and defense. One is to save the soldiers and families of Fujian and Zhejiang from the pain of separation; the other is to save national money. Superficial. "I'm waiting for the holy judgment."
Zhu Hengjia applauded continuously after the review. Yu Tunan was right. It is better to recruit troops directly from Taiwan than to mobilize troops from other provinces to defend Taiwan. Not only can it save expenses, but it also avoids the pain of soldiers and soldiers living in two places. However, at this stage, Taiwan has not yet been determined, and other provinces have
The soldiers cannot leave Taiwan yet.
I thought about it again, and now that the national funds are tight, if we recruit another 10,000 soldiers in Taiwan, I guess the cabinet will object. We should raise less, recruit 6,500 people, and not recruit soldiers, but recruit garrison soldiers, so as to save money.<
/p>
Replying to Yu Tunan, he said: "What you said is very good. I want to establish Dongning, Taichung, Keelung and Penghu County in Taiwan. We can recruit 2,000 garrison troops in each prefecture and 500 garrison troops in Penghu. It is approved.
Six thousand five hundred soldiers."
Looking at the third passage, it is not the title book, but a congratulatory note from Enping Hou Gao Minggui.
It turns out that Gao Minggui fought two great victories on the water and on land one after another. Hearing that Zhu Hengjia’s long life was coming soon, he wrote a congratulatory form. It means that I have fought two great victories to congratulate your majesty on your birthday.

"The emperor's destiny is destined to rule all directions
My noble minister, Gao Minggui, is pleased to hear that His Majesty is celebrating his birthday, and would like to express his congratulations. The expression said:
There are few sage kings in ancient times, but those after Yao and Shun are rarely heard of. Emperors of Qin, Han, Wu, Tang, and Song ancestors all had their shortcomings. By the time Emperor Gao, the Taizu of this dynasty, drove the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties to revitalize China, he promoted his long-term strategy and made the capital Nanjing. The five barbarians conquered the world.
Peace. When the Jiashen Incident happened, the late emperor died, slaves were established and China was ruined, the two capitals were in ruins, and all their clothes and clothes were lost. All people with lofty ideals and benevolent people should weep and sigh! Your Majesty holds the sacred weapon of Zhu Ming and the mighty spirit of Taizu. He cultivates civilized governance,
Harmony between the monarch and his ministers; encouraging education in farming and mulberry cultivation; promoting water conservancy; conducting extensive scientific research; the common people live and work in peace and contentment, and the common people have no worries about food and clothing; manage martial arts, organize the army through martial arts; fight bloody battles; repeatedly defeat the Tartars; all barbarians surrender; and regain half of the southern half of the Yangtze River.
He conquered Nanjing to offer sacrifices to the Xiaoling Mausoleum. It can be said that he was a holy emperor through the ages with his civilized and martial arts! How lucky is it that I follow a wise emperor! I am a despicable and reckless man, and was promoted to the army by your majesty. He has no knowledge of writing, but he knows how to kill the enemy bravely to repay the emperor's favor.
His Majesty Fu Wei is like a god in his temple. His army is powerful and he has won consecutive victories on land and water. The red-haired barbarians are frightened. Today is your majesty’s holy birthday. I wish my emperor a long life and a long and prosperous emperor. Long live, long live, long live. I am so foolish and loyal.
I would like to pay my respects and listen to you."
After reading Gao Minggui's congratulatory form, Zhu Hengjia was happy. This Gao Minggui was interesting. Others gave him gifts, so he won two battles and could use them as gifts. It would save money!
However, judging from what he said, after winning two battles in a row, he made the red-haired barbarians vulnerable and said that it would not take long to break the city. This is quite arrogant. This is not acceptable. Since ancient times, arrogant soldiers must
If he fails, he must be reminded to be careful and not to be careless.
The reply said: "I am very fond of you for your continuous victory in the battle. I wish you long life. However, there is nothing trivial about a soldier. A centipede insect can die but not freeze. How about the red-haired barbarians who have been roaming the sea for many years? You should be careful and don't let the barbarians take advantage of you.
opportunity".
??
As Zhu Hengjia said, Gao Minggui thought that the red-haired Yi people were already vulnerable and that the city of Relanzhe could be attacked at any time. However, after attacking for more than three months, Zhu Hengjia's longevity was over, and the city of Relanzhe was not yet captured.
Capture it.
Gao Minggui is anxious, really anxious. I boasted in front of the Holy Lord that the red-haired barbarians are vulnerable and will be able to break the city in a short time. Now, more than half a year later, they are still holding troops under the fortified city. Oh my God!
This is how I will explain to Your Majesty!
They became ruthless, unloaded the heavy guns from the warships, and bombarded the city of Renanzi. They prepared extra ladders, rushed the vehicles, and attacked again for half a month. It was useless, and hundreds of corpses were thrown away.
The Prince of Orange flag still flies above the city.
On this day, when Gao Minggui was at a loss of what to do, Yu Tunan came to him and said, "Commander, I have been tossing and turning all night, thinking of a plan, but I don't know if it's feasible, so I came to the commander to discuss it."
"Oh, if Yu Futai has any clever ideas, please tell me."
"Commander, after observation, I found that there is Utrich Fort near the city of Geranje, which is the highest point in the whole of Geranje. If this fort is captured and artillery is mounted on it, the entire city of Geranje will be within reach.
Covered by our army's artillery fire and bombarded day and night, the city will surely be destroyed."
Gao Minggui thought for a while, "But the Utrich Fort is only a few dozen feet away from Relanzhe. When we attack this fort, what if Relanzhe comes to help?"
"The commander-in-chief can send an army to storm the city of Geranze so that the enemy has no time to rescue Fort Utrich; then, he can concentrate his artillery and troops to attack the fort."
Gao Minggui was overjoyed and said, "Yu Futai's plan is very good, so he did it like this."
The next day, Gao Minggui ordered Zheng Cai, Yang Quan, and Yang Ying's troops to storm the city of Relanzha; he ordered Chen Ze and Wang Daxiong's troops, the bravest and bravest fighters, to lurk outside the Utrich Fort; he also concentrated two hundred heavy artillery and deployed them on the city.
Outside the south wall of Utrichburg, under the artillery bombardment for half a year, the south wall of the fort was the most severely damaged.
In order to contain the barbarian soldiers in Relanje City so that they could not look at each other, Gao Minggui said to the generals: "In this battle, there is no distinction between main attack and assist. Whether it is Utrich Fort or Relanje City, both
I will give you a hard beating. Whoever takes the city first will be credited with the first achievement."
