During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan, the monarch of the Wu Kingdom, sent generals Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi to lead 10,000 naval troops to a place they called "Yizhou". The so-called "Yizhou" later became Taiwan.
This was the first contact between a Chinese dynasty and Taiwan documented in history. Their trip to Taiwan lasted for a year. In the end, due to the epidemic of disease and the unsuitable climate and soil, 10% of the officers and soldiers were killed or injured. In the end, they took thousands of people with them.
Taiwan residents return to the mainland.
But since then, Taiwan has become a territory of China.
In the Ming Dynasty, the maritime ban policy led to the prevalence of pirates along the southeast coast. In order to protect the coastal areas from pirates, the imperial court stationed troops in Keelung and Tamsui Ports to prevent pirates from using the Taiwan-Penghu area as a base to harass the southeast coast. This was the first time that the central government
Station troops on the island to protect the coast.
However, after the Second World War, Taiwan, mainly Tainan, was occupied by the Dutch, and the Ming Dynasty was no longer able to effectively manage Taiwan.
This is also the first time in Ding Yunyi's life that he has set foot on Taiwan.
The climate, customs and customs here are almost the same as those in Penghu, and there is nothing inconvenient to adapt to. The only thing that makes people eye-catching are the tall-nosed, blue-eyed red barbarians on the pier.
After the boat slowly docked, the Hongyi people were obviously very familiar with the boat, and they actually kept waving towards the boat.
After Father Sarozzi disembarked, he received the warmest welcome from the red barbarians. Father Sarozzi distributed some small gifts he had brought with him one by one, which even attracted a burst of cheers.
An officer came over and communicated with the priest enthusiastically. The priest pointed to the boat and then muttered something unknown. The officer nodded and left. After a while, he came back and handed a piece of paper to the priest.
.
While the priest was greeting and unloading the goods, he came to Ding Yunyi and handed the paper in his hand to Ding Yunyi: "I said you are a church member who came to Taiwan to visit friends. This is a pass. With it, you can go anywhere.
"
Ding Yunyi was not only not happy, but also a little angry. Walking on his own land, he actually asked a foreigner to give him a pass?
Enduring the unhappiness in his heart, he agreed with Father Sarozzi on a time to meet again, and left the dock with Duan Saner and Ahu.
After the red barbarians occupied Taiwan, the most conspicuous building they built was Relanja City.
The city of Relanja is very spectacular and grand in scale. The houses and forts in the city are scattered in different levels with clear levels, and there are stairs connecting each floor. There are rhombus and semicircular fortresses with gun emplacements scattered around and in the corners of the city.
, is the main offensive and defensive force in the city. The city is divided into two parts: the "inner city" and the "outer city".
The "inner city" is square in shape and has three floors. The bottom floor is a warehouse, and the two floors above ground have the governor's office, observation tower, church, soldier barracks and other facilities. The Dutch flag is hung high, which is the core of administration. "Outer city"
"City" is connected to the northwest corner of the inner city. It was originally built to strengthen the defense of the inner city and prevent enemies from driving straight into the political center. It is rectangular and slightly lower than the inner city. It houses officials, dormitories for their families, conference halls, offices, and hospitals.
Warehouses and other public buildings.
The outer city was very prosperous because of its merchants' residences, dance pavilions and singing pavilions, and it was an important trading town.
Hongyi and Taiwanese people live together here, and there are all kinds of vendors. The sound of selling is endless, and it looks very lively.
After watching for a while, I felt a little hungry. Together with Duan Saner and A Hu, I found an open-air tea shop to sit down, ordered three bowls of tea, and took a rest with the dry food I brought with me for lunch.
While I was eating there, I suddenly heard a quarrel on the opposite side. Looking over there, I saw that it was a middle-aged woman selling fish and two Hongyi who were quarreling over something unknown.
The tall Hongyi seemed to know a few words in the local dialect and cursed the middle-aged woman loudly. The woman refused to show weakness and stood there with her hands on her hips and scolded him.
Ding Yunyi was a little curious. This was Hongyi's power, and this woman was quite courageous.
After scolding for a while, Xu Shihongyi couldn't scold the woman, so she became angry and even overturned the woman's fish stall.
This really stirred up a hornet's nest. I saw the woman holding a pole and smashing it towards Hongyi.
However, Hongyi was very skillful and quickly dodged the pole, then flew out with his kick, knocking the woman to the ground.
It’s fried!
All the hawkers who were operating stopped their work and immediately surrounded the two Hongyi. Surrounded by so many people, the two Hongyi kept shouting something, with a look on their faces.
But he was very panicked.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, Mr. Guo is coming!"
There was a commotion in the outer circle, and then the crowd automatically parted ways, and a man in his thirties walked in.
Looking at the chaotic scene, "Master Guo" frowned: "Sister-in-law Yu, what's going on?"
The tough middle-aged woman, whom Mr. Guo called "Fish Sister", pointed at the two red barbarians and said bitterly: "They took my fish and refused to give me any money!"
Mr. Guo glanced at the two Hongyi coldly: "I have made an agreement with you, Governor Putmans. We will do business in a safe manner and pay taxes according to the amount you set, but you are not allowed to harass us. Is this agreement
Don’t we count now?”
Ding Yunyi also stood outside and watched the excitement at this time. Hearing what Master Guo said, he was very curious. Who is this person? He can actually talk directly to Putmans, the governor of Hongyi?
The two Hongyi were obviously a little afraid of this person. The tall Hongyi said bravely: "Her fish is not good. If I don't pay, she scolds me."
He didn't speak Chinese fluently and spoke intermittently, but he could understand it. Mr. Guo sneered: "You don't have to sell her fish if it's not good, but you have to pay her. If you, a big man, do something to a woman, you will lose it."
Not ashamed?"
"No, no!" The tall Hongyi waved her hands repeatedly: "She was the one who made the move first. She wanted to hit me, but I had no choice but to defend myself."
Mrs. Fish shouted angrily: "It was you who kicked over my stall first."
"Yes, we all saw it. It was he who kicked over the fish stall first!" The vendors and passers-by shouted at the same time.
Mr. Guo looked at it coldly: "What else do you have to say? What to do with so many fish? Compensate according to the price. Otherwise, you and I will go directly to Governor Putmans to reason."
The two Hongyi looked at each other and exchanged words for a long time. Then the tall Hongyi said helplessly: "Okay, can we compensate according to the price? Governor, don't know. We don't have it with us now, we will give it to you soon."
Come."
Only then did Mr. Guo say with satisfaction: "I'm sorry you can't run away, Mrs. Yu, just wait here for them to give you money. If there's not even a penny missing, we'll fight the lawsuit to the end!"
The more Ding Yunyi listened, the more curious he became. Who is this person who has such great ability to make Hongyi be so honest?
