Roads were opened one by one, living areas and planting areas were opened up. New villages were also established. Han people transferred from the horse trading channel were filled into these new villages and took on responsibilities.

Take on the important task of guiding the natives to learn farming!

However, each village is small, but it occupies a large area of ​​cultivated land and forest land. They live together with the indigenous people, influencing them subtly, allowing their life trajectories to slowly and completely integrate into the life of the Han people.

The number of people in each village is very small, but the reserved cultivated land is very large. This is the reserve set aside by Liu Pei in advance. Liu Pei currently has very few people under his rule and cannot support a huge army. He must immigrate in large numbers.

Only then will it be possible to build an army large enough to conquer the Central Plains. Those villages will be filled with immigrants in the future.

In this way, Liu Pei and Fang Degang spent nearly two years working hard to completely consolidate their rule over northern Taiwan. As for the Dutch in the south, Liu Pei didn't want to deal with them for the time being. He still needed these Dutch to transport his goods.

Shipping to Europe.

After Liu Pei had arranged things in Taiwan, he received two messages just after arriving in Zhenhai City. One message came from Wu Yizhou. With the cooperation of the Intelligence Bureau and the surrendered pirates, Wu Yizhou had completely strangled Zheng Zhilong's people.

.The remaining neutral pirates didn't know how to deal with it. They sent someone to ask Liu Pei for instructions.

The other one is the news sent by the Intelligence Bureau. The Ming Navy in Quanzhou seems to be preparing to attack Liu Pei. This news makes Liu Pei a little confused? Liu Pei feels that he has not provoked the Ming Dynasty? Why is it suddenly reported that the Quanzhou Navy is going to attack?

situation? So he hurriedly ordered the Intelligence Bureau to send more detailed information.

The intelligence bureau's follow-up information was very timely. Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is almost like a sieve. The intelligence bureau only spent a little money to get detailed information.

It turned out that after the news of Zheng Zhilong's defeat came back, half of Jiangnan was shocked! You know, many local maritime merchants had placed their bets on Zheng Zhilong. After all, Zheng Zhilong took over Li Dan's position, which made many maritime merchants think that

Zheng Zhilong is a sure winner. So when Zheng Zhilong proposed

When we rented some ships and sailors, they readily agreed!

But what they didn't expect was that what they were waiting for was the news that Zheng Zhilong was defeated and killed! Moreover, his own ship and sailors were also involved! This news made those large merchants furious. They could accept the loss of some money, but the loss

So many skilled sailors and sea-going ships are a big problem! After all, sea-going ships are their foundation!

Moreover, their own side has suffered such heavy losses and cannot conduct sea trade in a short period of time. This is unacceptable to them. The most important thing is that they respect Li Dan, but they have no good impression of Zheng Zhilong and Liu Pei. They all think that they are just dogs.

Lucky lucky boy!

Fortunately for Zheng Zhilong, he has inherited Li Dan's family business and has many people and ships. He will definitely be a dominant figure on the sea in the future. So lending a few sea ships is a good relationship in advance!

But who are you, the Red-Eyed Dragon King? You're just a fish that just got out of the water! As the saying goes, cutting off a person's wealth is like killing his parents! So a group of maritime merchants pooled a large sum of money to honor the government and asked the navy to go out to destroy Liu Pei. But.

They unanimously concealed Zheng Zhilong's losses.

Although the dull government also learned about the battle between Liu and Zheng, they thought that the victor was also a disastrous victory and there was nothing to worry about! Therefore, after receiving the money, the local government naturally sent the Quanzhou navy to encircle and suppress the pirates.

Commander Wang Desheng of the Quanzhou Navy was the assigned unlucky guy! Wang Desheng had just walked out of the governor's office. He stood outside the office and looked up at the sky. The weather was good! But in this not-hot weather, he was still wearing clothes.

Khan! The reason is simple: I was scared!

Because not long ago, he received an order from the governor to rush to the governor's Yamen. At that time, Wang Desheng felt his left eyelid twitching! Sure enough, when he rushed to the governor's Yamen, he received a task that frightened him.

That is to annihilate the sea giant pirate Red Eye Dragon King!

If the governor does not know the actual situation on the sea, then Wang Desheng is not only well aware of the situation on the sea, but also has a clear view of it. As a naval general, if he does not understand the situation on the sea,

Then he is derelict in his duty. What's more, he has his own way to the sea.

But it was because he knew so well that he was scared to death! As one of the insiders of the Liu Zheng War, Wang Desheng knew the actual situation. Because he once sold Zheng Zhilong a batch of artillery, muskets and other weapons.

Weapons. In addition, he lent Zheng Zhilong five warships. There were also many sailors doing odd jobs under Zheng Zhilong. Of course, they were almost dead after this battle. However, the people who escaped clearly described the entire battle to him.

Situation. Wang Desheng has long known that the rise of the Red Eye Dragon King is unstoppable.

The sailors who escaped gave him a detailed description of the power of the Red Eyed Dragon King's fleet. They especially focused on describing how terrifying the new warships were! The overwhelming artillery fire made them unforgettable to this day! So Wang Desheng simply did not believe that he could win.

He had defeated the Red-Eyed Dragon King. He originally planned to be on the same page as Li Dan, but the governor's order forced him into a corner.

If he goes to war, Wang Desheng doesn't think he has a chance of winning based on the Quanzhou Navy's ships that have not been repaired for many years and the soldiers with low morale. And regardless of victory or defeat, if he offends this powerful pirate,

If he were to be attacked by Japanese pirates a few times, his head might not be saved!

When Wang Desheng returned home, he immediately sent for the accountant. This accountant helped him with his accounts on weekdays and also helped him with advice part-time. He was also considered a strategist. Therefore, Wang Desheng relied heavily on him and would inform him of all major and minor matters.

.

As soon as the accountant entered the door, he saw Wang Desheng sitting on a chair with a sad look on his face, and asked: "My boss, what's wrong with you? Is there something difficult that I need to explain to the governor this time?"

Wang Desheng sighed and said: "It is indeed very difficult! If you make a mistake in your trip, your life may be at stake!"

At that moment, Wang Desheng explained what the governor had told him. The accountant also frowned after hearing this. Since the governor had already told the story, it must be done. Wang Desheng, a small general, cannot stand up to the governor.
Chapter completed!
