Chapter 362 The Overlord of Southeast Asia, Zheng Zhilong

Another day passed, and there were vague shadows of sails at the end of the sea.

Barbosa sent a message and personally boarded the Jinfan Ship to report: "Sir, the navy in Taiwan's Tamsui Port is actually pirates. In the past, they were under my command. They should not know the news that I surrendered to the Song Dynasty. I can summon them all and those who are willing to surrender to me... The adults will do whatever they say."

As a great sailor, Wang Qiang certainly knows that Taiwan’s Tamsui is an estuary called Tamsui River. This terrain of the inland river estuary once again verifies that this is a necessary place for building towns on the coast.

Wang Qiang said confidently: "Brother is this to regain Taiwan? It can be considered a national hero who can barely see Zheng Chenggong defeated?"

Barbosa immediately said, "Of course! Even if I didn't surrender, the adults would definitely succeed."

Su Su smiled and said, "Brother Qiang, then do you know how many things Zheng Chenggong has done?"

Wang Qiang coughed dryly: "This... the textbook is just a sentence: Zheng Chenggong regained Taiwan, is he a descendant of Zheng He?"

Everyone laughed!

Barbosa coughed dryly: "It is the son of the great pirate Zheng Zhilong. In the pirate world, Zheng Zhilong has a very high ranking. He is the real overlord of the waters of Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia, and defeated the powerful Dutch East India Company. Of course, this will happen hundreds of years later."

Su Su sighed: "Yes, I said before that with the collapse of Zheng He's fleet, the maritime forces of the Ming Dynasty became blank, and the sea was basically pirates and the increasingly powerful Spaniards and the Dutch. Zheng Zhilong was from Quanzhou, Fujian. When he was young, he became a wealthy man in Vietnam, Japan, and Southeast Asia. Then he became a fortune in Japan. As the forces of the Netherlands' East India Company entered Southeast Asia, Zheng Zhilong worked under the Dutch for a period of time to help them rob. Then, under the persuasion of his father, he left the Dutch and established his own business to become the maritime overlord of maritime merchants and pirates."

Wang Qiang said oh.

Su Su smiled and said, "Oh, no! Brother Qiang knows the meaning of the word overlord? Zheng Zhilong's 3,000 warships of all sizes and sizes, and various Han, Southeast Asian, Black, and Japanese Koreans have more than 200,000 troops! The toll collected from the East India Company of 3,000 taels of silver is the only power in the area 'has been around since ancient times'. What is the concept?"

Wang Qiang was so shocked: "3,000 ships!? What about the Ming Dynasty?"

Su Su smiled and said, "The Ming Dynasty could not do anything to him at all, so she ordered him to appease him and appointed him as a high-ranking official. He then cast the Dutch East India Company to Southeast Asia. Then Fujian suffered a severe drought, and he immigrated tens of thousands of victims to Taiwan, and was the first person to develop Taiwan on a large scale."

Wang Qiang sighed: "I only think that Zheng Chenggong's national hero is still going to fight for his father."

Su Su shouted: "Originally, Zheng Zhilong's historical evaluation would be higher, but after the Qing soldiers entered the pass, he did not recognize the situation. Not only did he not want to resist, but instead surrendered to the Qing soldiers and wanted to save Fujian's property. As a result, Fujian was taken down by the Qing soldiers without much resistance. His family was destroyed and his people were imprisoned and exiled to Ningguta. It's a pity that a maritime overlord encountered nomadic people on land, which is really sad..."

Wang Qiang said in shock: "Why should he have many industries overseas? He has tactical advantages in controlling the land by sea, and has the advantage of resisting foreign races. If he eats too much, he will surrender?"

Su Su sighed: "So he is confused for a while. In contrast, his son Zheng Chenggong refused to surrender. He was able to save Taiwan and fight the Netherlands with the destruction of the Ming Dynasty inside and the Dutch invasion outside. This national hero deserves his reputation."
