Chapter 319 Two years

In the spring of the third year of Chongzhen, it had been two years since the defection of the deputy battalion officer of Guihua City. The defected officers had not been arrested and this incident gradually became forgotten by people as time passed. After all, except for the loss of dozens of rebellious soldiers, Guihua City did not cause any accidents or major losses. Over time, Guihua City became the most prosperous city on the Inner Mongolia grassland, and dozens of rebel soldiers were useless.

After two years of development, Bengang in Yizhou gradually showed a prosperous style.

The reclamation area is a lot of green farmland, which are just planted seedlings. Occasionally, farmers can be seen resting in the fields. As the group of the Agricultural Bureau stationed in Yizhou crossed the rice that resisted lodging, Yizhou agriculture, which suffered from typhoons, began to flourish. In addition to rice, sugarcane and other economic crops were also encouraged to be cultivated by the Fu Liao army. The agricultural area near Bengang became an important production area for sugar and was well-known far and wide. The alpine indigenous people represented by the Tayya in the mountainous area gradually began to have contact with the plain area, selling local specialties such as deer skin in exchange for sugar, salt, iron and other daily necessities.

There are more than a dozen merchant ships moored in the port, and even merchant ships of Japanese merchants and Dutch merchants.

"It is God who guided us here to trade fairly with you, why should we drive us away?" a Dutch merchant shouted at the dock.

He started to make a fuss and immediately attracted a group of people to watch, curious about what was going on here.

"The chief of our Yizhou Guard has ordered the East India Company to withdraw from Yizhou within three months and hand over Taiwan City and Chikan City, otherwise the war will be started on the East India Company. Now the three-month deadline has passed, and you the Netherlands have not handed over two cities and intend to resist to the death. Therefore, the chief of our Yizhou Guard has announced a war against the East India Company. For the innocent part of your Netherlands merchants, you should quickly leave the Yizhou waters, otherwise you will sink!" The soldiers who came to expel the Netherlands merchants said with a knife.

"You are driving away your wealth. We use a steady stream of silver to buy tea, silk and porcelain from the Ming Dynasty. How can you treat us like this? If we, the Netherlands, give up Yizhou, how can we trade with you?" The Netherlands merchant said unwillingly.

"We welcome you to do business. After the war is over, Bengang and Xiamen Bay will still welcome you. But Yizhou is our country since ancient times, and an inch of land will be fought for. You colonize in our Yizhouwei, enslave the indigenous people of Yizhouwei and the Han people who moved to southern Yizhou, and despise human rights. Therefore, our Liao army must recover the southern part of Yizhou." The soldier said.

Human rights? The Dutch businessman's eyes are bulging. This reason is really important and has never heard of it.

"Go away quickly, it's too late, once our superiors change their minds, you can't even leave."

A team of soldiers drove the Netherlands merchants onto the boat like ducks, and they could not resist.

"You demons, Satan, God will impose heavenly punishment on you, and you will not be able to go to heaven in the future!" The merchant of the Netherlands still waved his fists and spoke in anger before leaving.

"Who is God he said?" a soldier on the dock asked his companion, "Are any gods in the West?"

"It seems that Westerners like to talk about God, just like our City God, probably this is the case? I heard that once they commit sins, they will pray to a person called a pastor to forgive them." Another soldier guessed.

"Isn't this a divine to the gods for forgiveness after committing a sin?" Another soldier expressed confusion.

If the Dutch merchants knew that these soldiers regarded God as the Western City God, they would definitely be furious.

When Yizhou Guard ordered the East India Company to withdraw from Yizhou three months ago, it was equivalent to starting a war against the East India Company of the Netherlands. The person in charge of commanding the war was Nelson, the commander of the Navy stationed in Xiamen Bay, and Liu Wang, the commander of the Marine Brigade stationed in Bengang. After three months of preparation, basically all the armaments and troops were mobilized.

At this time, Liu Wang from the Marine Brigade trained the troops and was about to go on the expedition, and all the important officers were summoned by him.

"The fleet in Xiamen Bay has sailed, passing through the Penghu Islands, and then arriving at the city of Taiwan. They attacked by sea. Our troops attacked from land and advanced south along the coastline until they captured Chikan City. This time, the sea-land coordinated combat was a precedent, so don't cause any trouble for me." Liu Wang said to the officers of all sizes.

"Sir, their Netherlands have only 400 people guarding Chikan City and 1,100 people guarding Taiwan City. The Navy Department has used nearly 10,000 people this time, several times theirs. Is it worth the trouble? Just send a force over and you can destroy them." An officer said.

"It's not good to have the chance to bully the few with the more? Let me tell you this way. When the strength is similar, the winner is the winner. When our side is stronger, the winner is the casualties. Winning is not a skill, but you must also die as little as possible. We generals should cherish the lives of our soldiers!" Liu Wang said.

"Sir, I understand." The officer just now said ashamed.

After a brief lecture, more than 5,000 people from the Marine Brigade, carrying carriages, ox carriages and wheelbarrows of all sizes, embark on the journey to the south to the expedition of Chikan City. They will travel south along the coastline of the western part of Yizhou. After capturing the destination Chikan City, they will also be responsible for declaring the existence of a powerful force to the indigenous peoples in the southern region.

"I really envy the people of the Navy. Our Army has not fought any big battles worth showing off in the past two years. Look at them and look at us. They are really different from each other." Cheng Fengzi from the mountain camp watched the Navy Marine Brigade leave, and was envious and jealous. "What are our mountain camps doing in the past two years? Helping several tribes of the Gaoshan tribe mediate conflicts, helping farmers expel the Yanfeng in the fields, and helping Aunt Li's house find the lost cows... Our mountain camp is almost becoming a public security force!"

"The military leader is far away in southern Liaoning, so he won't have forgotten us, right?"

"It shouldn't be possible. Wasn't it the commander of the military commander who stayed in Bengang this time?"

"Can our Tangshan Camp really become a public security force?"
