Chapter 1211 Yuexi

"What does Hutchison want to do?" Song Ke was shocked and angry. There were more warships in the yard and more larger artillery. They really wanted to break the balance of Asia?

If Zhang Han heard what the foreigner said, he would be spitting on his face.

These bastards colonized thousands of miles and occupied the place they occupied. They each divided their sphere of influence, and no one except them would ever think of touching them.

Which country has become colonies in Southeast Asia, does not have tens of thousands of Chinese people? Which country’s Chinese are not in control of the economic lifeline of its land?

When it comes to colonization, Zhang Han can be justified in saying that the white skin has been dead, and this land in Southeast Asia has been the sphere of influence of the Chinese since ancient times!

First there was the shore-based fort area, then there was a large storage area, followed by the shipyard and the Firearms Bureau. The entire area was clearly divided and the planning was quite neat. Song Ke nodded unconsciously. Judging from this plan, it would be not unfair to lose to Hutchison!

When it crossed the embankment, it was along the Bengang River. There were large areas with various functions on both sides of a small river, and there were people isolated from soldiers everywhere. Of course, many people were scolding Song Ke and others, but more were looking at these tall, tall, big, and red hair with curious eyes. Song Ke and others pretended to be calm. When they walked to the large farmland area, an official road facing north and south appeared in front of them.

The Dutch stepped on the soles of his feet and felt a lot of gravel, and his expression changed again.

It is rainy on Taiwan Island. When it rains, the ground will be muddy. The paths you step into will become sparse. The Dutch built several small roads near the city of Jelanzha. Carriages that barely provide cargoes to pass through. If it rains, it will be muddy. The carriages can sink half a wheel. During the construction of the city of Jelanzha, they encountered such bad weather many times. It was difficult to build the beach, but it made the Dutch people miserable.

The road built on Hutchison can be about ten streets away from the Dutch dirt roads... It uses a stone mill of about 5,000 kilograms. More than a dozen cows are pulling the roads constantly, first determine the rammed earth layer, then do the drainage, and finally lay the crushed stones. It is much stronger in drainage and breathable than pure rammed earth roads. This is a decent road in later generations. There is no problem with carriages, and it is not afraid of rain. It will not get stuck in the carriages if there is a little water. This road is about twenty miles long, which costs huge amounts of money and a lot of manpower and material resources. It is also a major project that Taiwan has decided to connect the military camps and various workshop areas in the base area of ​​Tunbao District.

Song Ke's face changed color, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Hutchison believes that Taiwan is really based on its foundation, but it has the intention to grab it. The two sides have different structures and starting points, and the foundation established by them are also different.

No wonder this place can quietly build those schooners and sailboats. Their manpower, material resources and financial resources have been accumulated to a certain level. In terms of war potential, Hutchison is far stronger than the East India Company. The weakest part is that the naval foundation is insufficient and the ships are insufficient. But from the momentum, fortunately, if such a battle is fought again, if it is six months and a year later, it is probably the entire Asian fleet of the East India Company will be wiped out.

Walking north from the road, there are large barracks not far away. There are several trests on the way, and large areas of farmland have been opened up. The rice fields have already produced thick rice ears and the poles have bent. You can tell at a glance that it will be a year of great harvest.

This is not surprising. The climate in Taiwan is originally good, and everything can be planted to harvest. However, with the bonus of agricultural management, it is obviously about 30% better than the harvest of the Dutch.

Another one is a large area of ​​sugarcane fields, which is really envious when Song Ke and others look at it.

White sugar is a perfect currency at this time, and it is nothing worse than salt. It can produce as much as it can. Taiwan’s climate is quite beneficial to planting sugar cane to squeeze sugar. Otherwise, the colonists were the most concerned about this. They squeezed sugar in Taiwan from the beginning of the Dutch, and then the Japanese started a larger Taiwan sugar company. There were a lot of Taiwan sugar in the entire Asian market.

Of course, Hutchison won’t let it go. The sugarcane fields have grown more and more, and the Zheng family can do well in the selection and cultivation. Hutchison has no reason not to do better.

The Tunbao is in the middle of a large farmland area, with fields crisscrossing and standing full of people watching the fun.

Song Ke and others noticed that there were a large number of natives besides the Han people in the Ming Dynasty. These natives did not scold, but the look they looked at them was quite special, and they could not see anything other than hatred and murderous intent.

Everyone's members looked terrified, what was the episode of the song "Han Ji"?

Even though they knew that they were not in dealing with the indigenous people and the killing was too fierce, they captured a large number of natives as free laborers. The hatred between the two sides was very deep. Today, there were so many indigenous people who had caused this incident. Isn’t Hutchison afraid that I can’t stop it?

"What did the Ming people do to do these natives?" A Dutch entourage was angry and said with disdain: "The Ming people are also citizens of civilized countries after all. Don't you know that you should keep a distance from these natives in the world?"

Another attendant said in a deep tone: "I'm afraid I'm calling us here to put pressure on us?"

"What's the use?" Someone continued: "Ten thousand natives, one hundred of us can beat them and run away with their heads in their arms. Hutchison expects these people to strengthen their momentum for them? This is not a bonus, it is a reduction."

Song Ke nodded gently. In their eyes, the natives were indeed just human-shaped animals. The Spanish killed at least one million indigenous people in South America, and the rest of the colonized countries were not much better. They also trafficked a large number of black people in Africa. The slave trade began hundreds of years ago, and now it is gradually becoming a big trend.

The whites in this era have no political correctness, and racial discrimination is the mainstream idea. In addition, the indigenous people are indeed not very successful, and the natural conditions of the indigenous people in South America are quite good. As a result, the civilization developed is even more difficult than the level of slave countries, and Africa is even worse. They have been communicating with the Mediterranean civilization. As a result, after thousands of years, they are still a mess of scattered sand, and the level of civilization is quite low. It is no wonder that this era is bullied by advanced civilizations.

This is also the reason why China is recognized. China has a highly developed and advanced civilization. The imperial examination test kills most civilizations in seconds. The Western civil service system and examination system were learned from China. Confucius and Lao Tzu's thoughts were also translated by missionaries. Before the British mission went to China during the Qianlong period, China was a mysterious and powerful Eastern civilization in the eyes of European powers. The Queen of Britain and the Tsar of Russia both sent envoys to China to show their kindness with each other. Although they wanted to trade with China, they at least used a very equal attitude to interact with China. In the era when the great colonization was respected by national strength, it originally represented the extremely high civil achievements and strong national strength displayed by China.

During the Qianlong period, the fig leaf was torn off, and Western people discovered that China was completely inconsistent with the rumors. It was not a civilized country at all. Coupled with the arrogance and self-confidence of the Qing government, the ending was what everyone knows.

"Welcome to everyone."

A strong and black young man stood on one side of the road, and on his left side was a small military camp. Now the gate was opened, and there were countless indigenous people and the soldiers of the merchant army who maintained order. The tall young man welcomed Song Ke and others in fluent Dutch, then pointed to the military camp and said: "I know you are here to conduct peace negotiations, but before the negotiations, we want to declare one thing, your soldier Constantine, and Nobel will be tried today."

"Why?" Song Ke was shocked and angry, shouting angrily: "Didn't our captives say that we should ensure safety and will not abuse or kill our captured people?"

"Under normal war behavior, we will treat the prisoners well." The person who spoke was Zheng Zhilong. He knew that he had won a great victory after he rushed back from the sea. He was very happy and regretful. The impact of this war on the Taiwan Marine Department is of great importance. It can be said that no matter how many naval battles are fought in the future, this naval battle will definitely occupy the most important position. Even in the future, Lord Zhang can really turn the company into a country and establish the New Dynasty. The naval battle of the Taiwan Marine Department will be a very important step in the history of the New Dynasty.

Although he was the captain of a large ship, he had a high status and recognized ability, and his status in the future was not low. Unfortunately, at the most critical moment of the naval battle, he was entangled by the Dutch in Hirado. He was very good at fighting against the Crown Prince and was highly recognized by the marching department. It can be seen from the ragged appearance of the Crown Prince when he came this time that Zheng Zhilong did not falsely report the results of the battle, and the Crown Prince was beaten miserably.

If it weren't for being beaten by Zheng Zhilong with the Tianchengwei, maybe the Crown Prince would have caught up with the battlefield... Chang Wei and Zhang Xuwen comforted Zheng Zhilong like this, but no matter what, there was no way to ask Zheng Zhilong to make up for his regret of not catching up with the battle...

The face of the man who originally had a black face, but Zheng Zhilong's face is even darker now. The words that could have been said in a tactful way have become extremely powerful, not much like his usual behavior.

Song Ke was even more angry, and he shouted with his arms outstretched: "What is a normal act of war, and what is not?"

Zheng Zhilong said in a deep voice: "The normal behavior of war is that you and us are fighting at sea. No matter how many of our people die, they will not vent their anger with your captives..."

Zheng Zhilong pointed to a camp not far away and said, "You are all there, so you can see if it is intact and has not been beaten or abused."

Song Ke had actually seen it a long time ago. Even the 300 people were quite conspicuous even if they were three hundred flies.
