The scene was a bit stiff. Zheng Zhilong never imagined that Liu Yi's appetite would be so big. He wanted to ask the Zheng family's army to completely withdraw from Taiwan. You know how much effort Zheng Zhilong has spent in Taiwan over the years. Not to mention investing a lot of money first, he was the first to follow him.

Many of the old tribes took root in Taiwan, and Fujian could not survive. They immigrated to Taiwan, married and had children with Han women among the immigrants and many Taiwanese indigenous women.

It has been fully integrated into the local society, and there are even many Taiwanese aborigines in its own army. More importantly, before Zheng Zhilong occupied Taiwan, many parts of Taiwan Island were barren land. The coastal areas were slightly better. Once inward,

As the land expanded, the wild lands were not developed at all. It was Zheng Zhilong who encouraged his men and their families to move inland and reclaim the original wasteland into farmland.

Taiwan's climate and geographical environment are actually very suitable for the growth of crops, but the means of production of the aborigines are too backward, which leads to a relatively desolate atmosphere in Taiwan. However, Zheng Zhilong brought a large number of people to Taiwan, especially

Northern Taiwan is booming. If he were to leave at this time, wouldn't this be blatant peach picking? Zheng Zhilong thought Liu Yi was crazy. How could he be so straightforward about grabbing his own territory?

Liu Yi saw that Zheng Zhilong was neither standing nor sitting, so he pressed his hands and said: "Sit down first and listen to the governor speak slowly. You didn't even listen to the governor's conditions. How do you know you won't agree?"

I know that you have invested a lot of manpower, material resources and your own energy in Taiwan. It can be said that Taiwan is the lifeblood of you Zheng Zhilong, but Mr. Zheng, what I want to tell you is that Taiwan

It is not only your Taiwan, but also the territory of Ming Dynasty. To put it bluntly, you have seen Taiwan when it was invaded by foreigners. If you hadn’t been there to fight off those red-haired ghosts, Taiwan might have become a red-haired ghost by now.

base, but Ming’s territory cannot become your personal fiefdom after all. I don’t care if you occupy fiefdoms overseas, just like Shikoku Island, I can give it to you,

But Taiwan cannot. Taiwan is a barrier for the Ming Dynasty. It is an enclave. With Taiwan, the Ming Dynasty has an unsinkable giant ship on the sea. Even if there are red-haired ghosts, green-haired ghosts and yellow-haired ghosts coming to harass us in the future, we can definitely use it.

This island blocked all the enemies overseas and prevented them from setting foot on the Ming Dynasty's land. Of course, you may not have an impression of what I am saying now, or you may not be able to understand it, but

What I can tell you is that in the future, we cannot always focus on the three-acre land of the Ming Dynasty. The fundamental contradiction of the Ming Dynasty is still the contradiction between population and land. If everyone has land to farm and everyone has food to eat,

Who would rebel again? Didn't you rebel because you were about to starve to death? So our new army will use Taiwan as a springboard to develop farther south and farther away."

Zheng Zhilong was in a daze. The truth Liu Yi said was nothing more than fantasy to him, or it would be more accurate to say that it is unfounded worries. What kind of red-haired ghosts or overseas enemies? He Zheng Zhilong has been running rampant on the sea for so long, no matter it is the Japanese country,

Goryeo, red-haired ghosts, come one and kill one, come two and kill a pair,

He has never met a particularly strong opponent, and it seems a little green to challenge him on the sea at such a level. But how could Liu Yi consider such long-term things, and because of these things that have not happened?

, deployed defenses in Taiwan in advance. Zheng Zhilong didn’t understand, he really didn’t understand.

Liu Yi shook his head and sighed in his heart. Indeed, people at this time cannot understand the consciousness that was four hundred years ahead. He would only feel like a madman if he told Zheng Zhilong so much. Then he said: "I'll give you two choices.

, First, the new army will assist you in attacking Japan. You can bring out all Taiwan’s troops and their families and use this new force as a new force.

The main offensive force, weapons and equipment will be provided by the new army. When the time is right, intervene in the Japanese war, wipe out all the Kanto and Kansai armies, and cut off all the heads of the Japanese daimyo. The civilians of Honshu Island will become your citizens.

, but I have a request. I can give you all of Honshu Island and Hokkaido, but you have to leave a piece of Honshu Island for me.

It is the area near Kyushu, which the Japanese call "Zhong" and "Kuo" (this word is forbidden, so it can only be shown like this.) This area is given to me. I want to retain an enclave in Honshu, so except for this place

Except for this, all other lands of Japan belong to you, and you are the de facto Emperor of Japan. Secondly, as far as I know, there is a vast land in the south of the ocean.

The continent is called the Red Earth Country. The land there is all red and the area is very large. It may be as big as the Ming Dynasty. The New Army may seek land there in the future. If you want, you can go there first. Such a vast land

, I promise to share half of it with you, and then you can attract as many immigrants as you want to Ming Dynasty. You will be the king of the Red Earth Kingdom."

Zheng Zhilong's head was buzzing. Liu Yi's words made him confused. Zheng Zhilong had heard of the Red Earth Country. Although he had never been there himself, some Westerners had been. He heard that the climate there was similar to that of the Ming Dynasty.

On the contrary, and

And as Liu Yi said, the land is very vast, but I heard from Westerners that it is sparsely populated and has no one for a hundred miles. What is the use of such a vast land in such a place, and there are many wild animals that appear everywhere, Zheng Zhilong

since

He thought that he was unable to govern a land as large as the Ming Dynasty, even half of it. However, the proposal of the Emperor of Japan made Zheng Zhilong's eyes light up. The feeling of being the king of Shikoku Island was really wonderful, but

Liu Yi actually wanted to help him sit on the throne of the Japanese emperor. You know, Shikoku Island is the smallest island among the four Japanese islands. Now, Zheng Zhilong can actually acquire three of the four Japanese islands, which is at least seven or eight hundred

With a population of ten thousand,

With such a large population and land, what else does he want in Taiwan? The area of ​​these lands is several times that of Taiwan. Zheng Zhilong has no doubts about the capabilities of Liu Yi and Qing Yi's army. Since he promised to provide weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness of his Zheng's army will be

Zheng Zhilong knew that with Liu Yi's support, it would not be a problem to sweep the Kwantung Army and the Kwanxi Army. What's more, the two families were exhausted from fighting. Both sides had lost huge troops. The people of the Japanese country had to bear the burden.

Their abilities have reached their limits. Liu Yi's plan to pull back the firepower made them tighten their belts and exchange the saved money for new guns. I heard that some armies can only eat one meal a day, not to mention the soldiers who participated in the war.

general

How are ordinary people's lives going? The emperor is just a decoration. In the hands of the Kwantung Army, he is the chess piece of the Kwantung Army. In the hands of the Kansai Army, he is the chess piece of the Kansai Army. Instead of doing this, the emperor might as well let himself do it.

.

Zheng Zhilong took a deep breath. He knew that there would be no benefit in confronting Liu Yi. Fortunately, Liu Yi did not make any excessive demands. He wanted Taiwan, and at the same time, he also gave himself enough generous benefits from the direction of Japan.

If you make demands on yourself in the form of interest exchange, you will feel much better no matter what.

, and from the perspective of visible benefits, the value of Japan is undoubtedly much greater than that of Taiwan. Zheng Zhilong said cautiously: "Grand Governor, are you, what you said is true?" Liu Yi smiled and said: "

Why, when have I deceived you? I have made it very clear just now. There are two options for you to choose."

"Then, then, the general wants to be the Emperor of Japan." Zheng Zhilong whispered. "Hahahahaha, I know you will definitely choose the first option. After all, you are familiar with it, and I won't wrong you in any way.

Okay, since you chose the first option, I will

I will fully support you. You will do what you say." Liu Yi laughed and stood up and patted Zheng Zhilong on the shoulder, "But..." Liu Yi paused, "But there is a request that you must agree to."

Zheng Zhilong suddenly raised his head and said: "Captain, please give me your instructions."

"Don't be so nervous. It's not a big request. I will give you Japan, but you can't interfere in other places. It may damage some of your interests in Nanyang. After Taiwan is under the jurisdiction of Qingyi Army, we will also capture Ryukyu.

Luzon to the south is also our goal. In short, south

The affairs in the Nanyang area will be left to our Qing Yi Army. The governor knows that there are many red-haired ghosts operating in the Nanyang area, and you have fought many battles with them. From now on, we will handle the affairs there. The red-haired ghosts are here

We can't get any bargains here, don't worry about that." Liu Yi said in one breath.

Zheng Zhilong understood. Liu Yi meant that Zheng Zhilong should give up Nanyang and withdraw his fleet from Nanyang. From now on, Nanyang will be the scope of activities of the Qing Yi Army. Zheng Zhilong pondered for a while and said: "This is okay, as long as the final general can become a Japanese country."

The Emperor rules the vast land of Japan, so it would be okay to withdraw from Nanyang, as it can just strengthen the strength of Japan's Zheng family army."

Liu Yi nodded, "Very good, as long as you understand. Since you are so cooperative, it is very easy for us to reach a consensus. Don't worry, I will complete what I promised you to the letter. I have already prepared the first batch of weapons.

It is enough to arm ten thousand people, and the quality is better than the firecrackers in the hands of the Japanese. It is the same as the firecrackers you are using now. In addition, you can keep your five hundred thousand taels of silver as moving expenses. There are many of you. From Taiwan

It will cost a lot of money to move to Taiwan. They are all Chinese people, and we can't let them die of cold, hunger and disease on the road." Zheng Zhilong did not expect Liu Yi to be so heroic. He said he didn't want hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
