Chapter 120 Xanadu

The exact location of Luermen and Rarangzha Castle is in Tainan in later generations, while Penghu is only a short 52 nautical miles away from Tainan.

This number represents that the fleets of both sides can fight back and forth between the two within a day when smoothly, representing the infinite possibilities in the war.

But the two are still in a state of exchange of fire and are still under negotiation.

However, Zheng Zhilong's army had already overwhelmed Penghu, which was simply challenging the Dutch nerves. After hearing the news, the Navy and Army immediately entered a state of alertness. The negotiators even questioned Zheng Lian in person whether the Zheng family was determined to provoke a war between the two sides.

Zheng Lian naturally asked questions and didn't know. He had been waiting for a long time this day, and Zheng Zhilong's army finally arrived.

It feels like Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Sen from Juehua Island have received Zheng Zhilong's letters again. They have not appeared in the film for so many days, and they both doubt whether the author has forgotten them.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Look, how many days have you been with your ship and your soldiers? My leader has just brought his brothers to Penghu now, it's already very late, okay?"

In this explanation by Zheng Lian's words, Zheng Zhilong's behavior was actually a kind of attitude.

Just like the Ming court center who was obviously Zheng Zhilong did not abandon the capital, but the army obediently returned to Denglai, and did not ask for a single son's reward from the court. Instead, Emperor Chongzhen praised him as a loyal minister.

The Dutch reinforcements that were far away had arrived for a long time, and the Zheng group, which was close to them, had just arrived. At first glance, it was indeed the Zheng family showing goodwill.

But to the Dutch, this is fart.

The senior official is right next to the Zheng family's mouth, thousands of miles away from Batavia. Can it be the same?

"It's good. I'll send someone back to see my leader." Zheng Lian always looked like a hero from the green forest on the sea, giving the Dutch the feeling that it had not changed at all from the time of Zheng Yiguan.

But in fact, the Zheng family's naval and land armies have now changed their new system and have set corresponding military ranks and positions, which are absolutely regular soldiers.

"Let's go to Taoyuan!"

After receiving Zheng Lian's reply, Zheng Zhilong knew that it was time to leave Penghu to serve as a senior official. This was a "showing goodwill" to the Dutch and the best excuse for him to avoid sea confrontation.

Of course, he would not go to Relanzhe, nor go back to Anping, but to Taoyuan.

The latter is his name to the Zheng Group in the territory of the senior officials - Taoyuan, a paradise.

Compared with the continent separated by water in the north, isn’t it a paradise within the territory of the Zheng family, the current official?

Although everyone has to pay taxes, there is land, settlement fees given by Zheng, and even grain and plowing oxen. People living here should not live too beautifully.

Zheng was already very dedicated to these immigrants. Now all the immigrants are registered and all the people are naturally grateful to Zheng. Zheng Zhilong can feel the people's love and support for him every day when he goes to Taoyuan.

These are the foundations of Zheng's family.

Because war has never been a one-on-one challenge for both generals of the commanders of the army. Whether it is victory or failure, the few cold numbers collected in the battle reports represent fresh lives!

If a force wants to summarize its true strength, it must take into account the issue of war potential.

Look at how many times the Ming army has been defeated, but it can bring out wave after wave of people. This is the potential of war.

In the past, the potential of the Zheng Group's war lies in the many poor people in the southeast who cannot survive. These people are as numerous as oxen, but don't have too much hope in terms of quality. Now there is another senior official.

Although there is still a small population here, the officials have thousands of miles of fertile land and abundant rainfall. All of them are here, which is enough to support millions of people and make people farm and have no worries about food. The chicken coop in the north has high-quality sulfur with abundant reserves and no shortage of medicine powder. It also traverses the sea, travels abroad, sells ships, and has no shortage of money, grain and materials. It is like a foundation for kings and dominances.

After ten years of birth and ten years of upbringing, Zheng Zhilong faced the situation of Zheng Chenggong that day. The country can be rich and the army can be strong. Attack and retreat, it is enough to compete with the mainland.

Moreover, the set of rules in Anping City is the best model for Zheng’s senior officials. In addition, the various talents cultivated by schools with different scales and functions are all the basic foundations of Zheng’s family.

Of course, the schools and schools in Taoyuan are still a cute ecology. Not only are the teachers vacant, the teaching staff weak and the teaching level is poor, but even the teaching books are not complete.

But the sky tree also starts with a seed, doesn’t it?

Accounting, justice, administration, engineering, etc. are now just a lack of empty space. There is a lack of teachers, students, and everything is lacking, but there is no shortage of money and food.

A large number of Zheng's children are still in cram school and preparatory class. The only reason they are selected is that they can write and calculate, but the simple ability to write and calculate is obviously a gap compared with the grassroots officials needed by Zheng Zhilong. If there is a gap, then you have to work hard, right?

Not all the surname Zheng, Shi, Gan, and Hong can make a name for themselves. The current test may be a good opportunity for them to jump over the dragon gate.

It's no different from before, it's just that the fight and killing at sea are replaced by the current text.

News about Zheng Zhilong taking a boat to Taoyuan, and the Daijiaji victory and Zhangqiuzhen victory had already spread here.

After all, the main force of the military that won these two great victories came from immigration.

The latter is very proud and even more proud.

At the port terminal, the people welcomed each other, and the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums kept ringing, and they all smiled happily.

But when the celebration passed, and when the obituaries were officially delivered to the families of the fallen soldiers with Zheng Zhilong's arrival, the families lost their father and son, and died the pillars of the family.

No matter how high the pension Zheng Zhilong gave, it is enough to allow the survivors to live a smooth life and take care of food taxes and other aspects, which cannot make up for the pain of a family losing their closest relatives.

Those parents, wives and children were eagerly looking forward to the news of their families' safety, but they waited for the cold bad news. How could they accept this fact only loudly cried.

"Hi..." Zheng Zhilong sighed. In the battle of Qilu, he probably saw too many dead people, and he was also disdainful of the soldiers who died in the battle between Dai Jiaji and Zhang Qiuzhen. But now, listening to the howlings and crying bitterly by the survivors behind him...

"Zheng Tai. The family members of these military martyrs are all loyal people in my Zheng family. How I treat them is obvious to all the people. You must pay attention in the future, and they cannot be wronged at all. In the civil officialdom, no one who dares to bully them can be spared."

"Don't worry, uncle, my nephew knows the importance of it."

Zheng Tai, who is currently the general manager of Taoyuan, said quickly.

The first thing Zheng Zhilong did when he came to Taoyuan was not to see the changes in the past year, but to visit the families of the military lieutenants in person. Zheng Tai and his group of people suddenly mentioned the gods. They understood that the current family members of the military lieutenants were very different from the families of the military soldiers who died before.

Zheng Zhilong is more concerned about the current survivors of the military martyrs than the families of the previously killed soldiers.
