"Zheng Junmen, we will not discuss how to govern Taiwan, but only discuss how to specifically regain Taiwan's strategy and tactics."

Captain Fang Jiahong interrupted Zheng Zhilong again without hesitation.

Zheng Zhilong looked at the more than ten First Army staff members present, each of them looked like puppets. No matter what the customs in southern Fujian were, they were always dressed meticulously in red military uniforms, which could be said to be standing and sitting. On the other hand, the staff members on his side were either timid or arrogant, and they were always less calm and showed their timidity.

The more you feel unsure, the easier it is to speak nonsense.

"Sorry, sorry." Zheng Zhilong didn't get angry. He didn't look like a dragon in the East China Sea, but rather like a non-toxic and harmless cauliflower snake.

"Time is tight, let's focus on the issue." Fang Jiahong was not used to Zheng Zhilong's bragging about chaotic talk. He lowered his head to sort out the issues he had discussed, and moved his tight facial muscles.

Zheng Zhilong looked at the blackboard in the tent, and wrote in white pen on it various issues to discuss the advancement, arranged according to the importance.

Now the "our military strength" ranked at the top has been concluded. The land war is mainly composed of the Second Division of the First Guards Army, and the Fujian Navy dispatched 300 ships to transport the Guards to the land position.

At the same time, the Fujian Navy also had to mobilize nearly 20,000 sailors to form another fleet to cut off the Dutch sea supply line and annihilate the gunboat fleet that may cause a blow to the landing troops.

After "our military power", half of the "enemy forces" were discussed.

Among them, the Netherlands were naturally the first, and they were the main enemy of the Ming army. However, historically, the Netherlands lacked military strength and lacked the courage to fight to the death. They were defeated in several battles with the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, the harm of Taiwanese mountain people was greater, so they ranked behind the Netherlands.

In addition, the enemy forces also have "water, water, and water climate".

Taiwan is located in the tropical region. Even in the Little Ice Age, it is a hot place. Most of the Guards are from northerners and have never seen such a hot place. Fujian is still familiar with the land of mainland China, and there is less miasma in the places where there are many people. However, Taiwan is full of raw land, and miasma cannot be prevented sooner or later.

In addition, the climate is hot and there are many viruses and bacteria breeding. They are all diseases that have never been seen in the north.

"How many Han people are there on the island now?" Fang Jiahong asked.

"Around 20,000." Zheng Zhilong replied truthfully: "It was mostly for selling deer skin."

Fang Jiahong estimated the number: "Is there enough villages to arrange doctors to live in the mix, and can it ensure their safety?"

"Are you going to send a doctor?" Zheng Zhilong was stunned: "I'm afraid it's hard to say."

Fang Jiahong turned around the charcoal pen in his hand: "How confident are you to survive?"

"If they stayed in the village, there would be no problem in their lives... But if they had to collect herbs in the mountains, it would be inconvenient." Zheng Zhilong said.

Fang Jiahong nodded, marked it out, and ticked it next to "water, water, and water climate", which was considered to end the discussion.

Zheng Zhilong said intimately, you plan to send some doctors to solve the miasma and plague? It's too whimsical.

Fang Jiahong continued to go down, but it was "information collection".

This should have been the job of the Jinyiwei. It was then filtered and sorted by the Military Information Department and passed it to the combat troops. However, there are some internal problems within the Jinyiwei. I heard that there were intelligence accidents in Zhangjiakou and Liaodong, so Xiao Mo hinted that the Military Information Department would personally handle the intelligence work in Taiwan.

For the Jinyiwei who was holding his eyebrows and beard, the Military Intelligence Department had a unique advantage: the combat troops would hand over the information they needed to them so that they could be targeted.

Zheng Zhilong and his staff could hardly interfere in this link, just watching the guards' staff say everything, from the number of people, artillery, ships, artillery medicine, etc. to drinking water, military uniforms... there are only a hundred pieces. This can be summed up in one sentence: You need everything!

"Next," Fang Jiahong said. "Tao."

This is the fundamental difference between Chinese civilization and Thai civilization. Because Chinese civilization was originally an alliance between different tribes, it learned to respect as early as the primitive era. Confucius's saying "Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to others" can also be understood as "Do not do to others what you want, do to others."

Whenever you arrive at a place, travelers will ask about local customs and taboos. Whenever you enter a family, guests will ask about the family’s private taboos. This attitude of respect for people has been engraved in the bone marrow. Even in the army that believes in the supremacy of guns and cannons, they will not rashly trample on the beliefs and customs of the barbarians in extreme ways. Just as the Ming Dynasty never asked the Jurchens to grow their hair and dress easily in the past.

"What are the taboos for Taiwanese natives? How to avoid fighting with them so as to prevent the war from getting out of control?" Fang Jiahong looked at Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong was speechless, and the Qingke friends around him scratched their heads and said a long time ago that some rumors and legends such as headhunting were told.

Fang Jiahong had to write the words "to be tested" after this item. He continued to advance the next item, which was about the astronomical and hydrological situation of Taiwan Island, so as to arrange the entry time.

...

After the national change, Zhang Hongren rarely appeared around Zhu Cixuan, especially later, Zhu Cixuan obviously preferred Quanzhen Taoism, did not trust Zhengyi's talismans and elixirs, and did not have the patience to observe the rituals and rituals, so everyone knew from top to bottom that Zhang Hongren had fallen out of favor.

However, when he agreed to stay with the crown prince as his follower, Zhang Hongren could not easily return to Longhu Mountain. His father, Zhang Yingjing, went back during the national change, but he was worried all day long until the crown prince restored Shenjing.

This time, Zhang Hongren was summoned directly, not because the crown prince had a doctrine and had to consult about the issues of alchemy, but simply made a request: Longhu Mountain should organize a group of Taoist priests to cross the sea to Taiwan first, and preach and practice.

Quanzhen Sect is more suitable for dissemination among intellectuals, and people who need certain humanistic qualities can accept its teachings. Moreover, when Wang Chongyang was alive, he did not really establish a sect organization. After his death, the seven Quanzhen Sons each established a sect, so that the scale of the Quanzhen Sect has been difficult to expand and is not suitable for unified mobilization.

In contrast, Zhengyi has his own strengths in both aspects, especially the strict organization of the church group, which can be regarded as a small society with distinct hierarchies, like an arm and finger.

Because it has absorbed many folk beliefs, Zhengyi's system of immortals is more open and more inclusive. What's more, foolish people are always easily attracted by mysterious things. Instead of sending Quanzhen Taoist priests to talk about the way of tranquility, it is better to let Zhengyi send some charlatans fool the local people.

Moreover, not only the native people in Taiwan need "education", but now the Han people in Taiwan are all Fujian people, who love ghosts and gods, worship sacrifices, and send more Taoist priests to the past to meet their psychological needs and stand closer on the side of the court.

After Zhang Hongren received the task, he did not dare to delay and immediately ordered people to move quickly back to Jiangxi.

After Zhang Yingjing received the news, he wanted to send the eight generals of the Heavenly Master to compete for merit, so as not to be replaced by Quanzhen. However, when it comes to the idea of ​​displacing the barren land, all Gaozhens were a little worried.

Is there any place where there are gods? Can you go to randomly?

"The Supreme One still has a journey to transform into Hu. When we meet, how can we be afraid of difficulties like a tiger? If no one wants to go, I am willing to go."

Li Zhenxu recommended himself at the Tianshi Mansion that day, and indeed received the recommendation of Zhang Tianshi. He only brought about a dozen disciples and went to Fuzhou with almost no body.

Although Zhu Cilang was not satisfied with the perfunctory nature of the Heavenly Master, he was quite satisfied with Taoist Master Li Zhenxu's attitude and elegance. Although his disciples were only in their twenties or thirties, they were polite and calm. When asked about their practice, Li Zhenxu did not show off his secrets, but he just paid attention to all the scriptures and repentances. He was really good at medical skills and Liu Ren.

"Sir, since he is good at Liu Ren's divination, how can he ask if this trip is safe?" Zhu Cixuan asked.

"It's not just Anran," Li Zhenxu smiled, "I am going here to shine the great sect and establish the human and heaven again!"

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "If you need it, please send someone back to report it. If you want money and things, don't treat you very hard."

Li Zhenxu bowed slowly and floated away with his disciples.

Under the arrangement of Zheng Zhilong, the group will land directly at the wharf controlled by the Hanmin people in Taiwan, and then enter the Hanmin village to settle down. They prepared various statues of gods in Fujian, especially Mazu, who is particularly believed in by the Min people in the coastal area, and believe that they will be welcomed by the Hanmin people in the local area.

...

Zheng Zhilong and the Netherlands often communicated with each other, and the Dutch also needed the Han people as the labor force to develop Taiwan. Some Western scholars believed that Taiwan, and even Southeast Asia, belonged to the co-construction and colonization of the West and the Ming Dynasty. It was just that Confucianism and later thoughts were unwilling to wear the hat of "colonization".

In order to restore Taiwan this time, Zheng Zhilong specially recalled his old subordinates, He Bin, who followed him to run Wugang.

During the Tianqi period, He Bin followed Zheng Zhilong through the sea, traveling between Japan and Taiwan. In the first year of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong was recruited and served as Fujian's sea defense guerrilla guerrillas. He Bin and several old friends went to Fujian to join Zheng Zhilong. Unexpectedly, he was attacked by Li Kuiqi on the way and finally fled back to Taiwan with only a brother named Li Ying.

After returning to Taiwan, He Bin converted to Protestantism and became a professional Dutch in Chichicheng with the Dutch he learned from Zheng Zhilong.

Although this job seems to have no power, it is because it is well-informed and knows the situation in Taiwan.

The Dutch wanted to rule Taiwan, and all policies were translated by He Bin. The Han people and Shengfan had to communicate with the Dutch, and they also had to pass on the message.

Zheng Zhilong recruited He Bin back, which really helped the Guards' Army and quickly compiled a complete set of Taiwan's enemy situation summary.

In order to protect He Bin's identity as a public official, Zheng Zhilong also wrote a letter to the Dutch Taiwan chief, stating that the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty was pacified in Fujian and intends to engage in trade with the Netherlands East India Company, hoping to send envoys to negotiate.

The current director of Taiwanese business director Peter Oufuwat (overtwater, p.a.), therefore, sent a low-level businessman from the East India Company to Fuzhou, and He Bin was his official business. (To be continued...)
