To this day, Guo Huaiyi can't believe that Zheng Zhilong, who was running rampant in the East, actually lost.
"A big defeat, a complete loss."
Speaking of this, He Bin was also extremely emotional.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, his reaction would not be any different from Guo Huaiyi's.
"How does the Xia Kingdom deal with an official?"
Whenever Guo Huaiyi and others were concerned, He Bin answered with all his heart.
"When I came here, I heard that Yiguan and other brothers had gone north to visit His Highness King Xia."
"Hmph, that sounds nice. It's just an official being imprisoned, and life and death are left to him."
This statement was recognized by many people, but He Bin shook his head.
"It is indeed a real visit. The Yiguan brothers and several others were unwilling to be lonely and wanted to find a job in the Xia army. However, General Zuo Hua made it clear that there was no place for them to perform in the army. However, the Xia Kingdom worked hard to develop
, there is a lot to be done among the people. One official and several brothers went to find His Highness the King of Xia to get an idea."
He added another sentence.
"Everyone may not know that Yiguan's son is quite popular with His Highness the Prince of Xia. He lives in Prince Xia's palace on weekdays and is regarded as his own son. With this relationship, Yiguan will have nothing to worry about."
When everyone heard this, they were astonished.
When He Bin was working as an interpreter for the Dutch, he interacted with them a lot. Everyone still trusted him as a person.
Knowing that Zheng Zhilong's life was not in danger, everyone felt relieved.
But looking back, they still have to consider themselves.
Guo Huaiyi has a big worry.
"The Xia Kingdom is a rebellion of the Ming Dynasty. If we surrender, won't it be possible for us to return to our homeland from now on?"
These people immigrated to Taiwan because they could no longer survive in their hometown in Fujian. Although their lives have improved here, Fujian people have a strong sense of local sentiment. If they cannot return to their hometown, it will be worse than death for them.
Be sad.
Speaking of this, He Bin sneered.
"With all the wine and rice bags of the Fujian government, how dare we be enemies with the Xia State? The official's house and relatives are all safe and sound, let alone us. The Xia State has stationed heavy troops on Kinmen Island. If there is anything wrong with the Fujian government,
The Xia Kingdom will give them a taste of its power. So in the future, if you want to return to your homeland, you can leave as you please, and no one will dare to stop you."
Of course everyone knows what the virtues of the Ming Dynasty officials in Fujian are.
But when they heard that Xia Guo was so majestic, everyone was fascinated.
From this point of view, there seems to be nothing wrong with being a citizen of the Xia Kingdom.
"I'm just passing the message on my behalf. The specific details still require you to send people there and discuss them in detail with the officials."
When everyone heard it, it was indeed true.
After the discussion, Guo Huaiyi and three others returned to Prominzha City with He Bin.
Gong Duan simply called together the Han immigrants and aborigines to read out Xia's policies.
"According to the laws of our Xia Kingdom, everyone is equal. From now on, you and others will be under the rule of our Xia Kingdom, and this law will naturally apply. Whether you are Han people or indigenous people, there is no distinction between high and low. From now on, everyone will live in harmony, and the government will also
We will treat you all equally. All previous commitments will never be changed."
This policy had a great shock not only to the indigenous people, but also to the Han people.
The four words "everyone is equal" seem simple, but for people of this era, it is really a groundbreaking thunder.
We were originally lowly people, but from now on we can hold our heads high and live like human beings.
Based on this alone, Xia Kingdom quickly entered the hearts of the people.
Strike while the iron is hot at the male end.
"The population in various places is about to be reorganized into households, officials will be dispatched, and political power will be established. Even in the countryside, the same is true. But the place is so big, there are many officials missing. The talented people among you can also come here
Sign up. The government will select suitable candidates, and those with outstanding performance can also go to a government school in Shandong for further studies."
As soon as Guo Huai understood what further study meant, he couldn't help but be very moved.
When the Zheng family immigrated to Taiwan, as the leader stationed here, he managed the Han people here in an orderly manner by himself. He was also able to withstand the intrusion of the Dutch and Spanish, and he considered himself to be extraordinary.
If you can enter the officialdom of Xia Kingdom, you will definitely have the possibility of promotion.
At this meeting, Gong Duan also informed Guo Huaiyi and others of Xia's intention to go north to deal with the Spaniards.
After learning that the Dutch would also retreat, Guo Huaiyi and others finally understood that from now on, only the Xia family would dominate the entire island of Taiwan.
Under this situation, Xia Kingdom will definitely not allow uncontrolled forces to exist.
If they don't return, Xia Guo's first shot will definitely hit them in the head.
Under the general trend, it is irreversible.
Guo Huaiyi quickly expressed his allegiance to the Xia government on behalf of the immigrant Han people.
Gong Duan kept his word and immediately appointed him as the director of the Department of Civil Affairs. Taking advantage of his familiarity with the local area, he began to extend the tentacles of political power to all parts of the people.
Zuo Hua doesn't care what the government does.
After some repairs in Prominjia City, Zuo Hua led all the main warships of the East China Sea Fleet and began to go northward to implement the plan to expel the Spanish.
Putmans followed suit.
The Dutch and the Spaniards were mortal enemies, and he was happy to see any loss the Spaniards suffered.
Moreover, he wanted to see how the Xia army dealt with the strong castle built by the Spaniards.
Although those castles are everywhere in Europe, as a soldier, how to break through such city defenses also gave Promans a headache.
This time he also had the purpose of investigation.
I want to see with my own eyes what Xia Jun's combat effectiveness is.
This will determine the depth of the ties between the Netherlands and Xia Guo.
Regarding his purpose, Zuo Hua looked at it like a fire, but he didn't care at all.
The fleet sailed smoothly northward along the west coast of Taiwan, and two days later appeared at the mouth of the Danshui River.
The city of Santo Domingo founded by the Spanish is on the right bank of the Danshui River.
This is a small castle, with only more than 150 people stationed there, and it is commanded by a captain named Rausa Gonzalez.
The Spanish enslaved the indigenous people on both sides of the Danshui River, confiscated their furs, medicinal materials, and spices, and then concentrated them in the city of Santo Domingo.
From here, it is loaded onto a ship and transferred to Luzon.
Therefore, there are many ships docked on the river outside the castle, as well as warships.
Suddenly seeing a large number of warships appear, the Spaniards panicked.
As the alarm bells rang through the castle, the warships in the port rushed out in a panic.
Regardless of whether these warships that suddenly appeared are enemies or friends, if the warships continue to dock in the port, they will be beaten and unable to fight back.
But it is a pity that the calm days made the Spaniards' reaction too slow.
This lone warship was locked by the leading warship Yizhou before it could rush out of the river mouth.
With just one salvo, the small warship disintegrated on the spot under the watchful eyes of countless people.
Yes.
It wasn't hit, nor was it sunk, nor was it damaged, but it just disappeared into nothingness with billowing black smoke on the sea.
"Oh, my God!"
On the city wall of Santo Domingo, Rausa Gonzalez saw this scene, his vision went dark on the spot, and he had a premonition that something was wrong. This chapter has been completed!
