"The best attack time is at the end of February and early March. At that time, the north wind gradually stopped and the south wind had already risen, and Gelanzha could not ask for help from Batavia. When the wind direction changed, Gelanzha could certainly ask for help, but the main force of the Dutch navy in Batavia wanted to rush for help, and had to wait for another half a year. In this way, our army had enough time to implement various tactical plans." Fang Jiahong explained every step of the plan to restore Taiwan in front of the crown prince and Xiao Mo and other chief generals in the army.

On the battlefield and the situation of the enemy and us gradually became clear, the time to enter the battlefield was particularly important. Especially in this sailing era, the wind factor accounts for almost half of the natural environment.

"And the temperature in Taiwan is not hot in spring. Most of our army is from northern China, and it happens to be a process of gradually adapting." Fang Jiahong was a little nervous, afraid that the crown prince would say it was too late.

Zhu Cixuan looked at Xiao Mo beside him and said, "This time is good, and the army has more time to conduct maritime adaptive training. Are there sufficient preparations for medical and epidemic prevention?"

"According to Wu Youxing's report, malaria is the most common among the Han people in Taiwan. Once it spreads countless deaths, it has been transferred to the General Logistics Department to purchase enough yellow artemisia to prevent malaria."

"I know this disease," Zhu Ciyang said, "It's still a big deal in epidemic prevention. The hygiene habits must be good. You must explain it to the soldiers clearly, don't be lazy for a while, regret it for life. In addition, this disease requires a lot of hydration and more salt and sugar should be prepared."

"Yes." Fang Jiahong said again: "From the information reported by the Jinyiwei, Taiwan may have rumors of our army resuming Taiwan, but it was only word of mouth. Fewer believers."

"This is unpredictable." Zhu Cilang said to Xiao Mo: "There is a class among the Han people in Taiwan called the 'Tou Family'. These people have a close relationship with the Fujian Shi Family. The news we have here will inevitably spread. Not to mention that the Governor Zheng, the Gai Mincheng, is also one of them."

Xiao Mo smiled at the crown prince's words and said, "Just fight, who will the guards be afraid of?"

"The advantage cannot be abandoned lightly." Zhu Cixuan said: "I will arrange this matter and try to delay it. The military formation will be left to you. If you have any difficulties now, you can tell me. It will be too late to find a reason if you can't defeat Relanzhe in the future."

Xiao Mo looked at Fang Jiahong and said, "What's the difficulty? Just say it if you should."

Fang Jiahong saluted and said, "Report to Your Highness. General, all the deductions have been done."

Zhu Cilang nodded and stood up and said, "Then continue to prepare and inform me if there are any questions. I'll go and meet Mr. Zheng."

The generals and schools quickly got up and escorted Zhu Cixuan out.

As soon as Xiao Mo took Zhu Cilang onto the carriage, Fang Jiahong followed and whispered: "General. The camp has been trained."

Xiao Mo raised his hand and said, "Speak later."

Fang Jiahong retreated in response.

Anyone who has dealt with the Military Intelligence Department will find that "information" is the most fragile thing, and it will be leaked if you are not careful. The staff in the Military Intelligence Department can analyze various incredible information from one sentence or an object, which sometimes makes people feel incredible.

Who knows if there are such capable people among the Dutch people?

Si is a snake-like insect, which is legendary without a trace and kills people invisibly. Xiao Mo organized a training camp in the First Army. It was a unit of assassinators based on the special investigation camp and specially prepared for the battle to restore Taiwan.

Judging from the intelligence, the number of Dutch troops stationed in Taiwan has been decreasing year by year, and now there are only 1,200 people. Among them, there are even fewer officers. There are only less than ten people, and many times the soldiers have no officer command at all.

The Ming army, who used the same tactics to fight, certainly knew what this meant.

It can be said that if there were no officers on the battle formation, the soldiers would not know when they would advance or when they would open fire!

Such a low number of officers is enough to cause the Dutch army to be weak in combat. If one of the few officers is assassinated or controlled by someone... it is entirely possible that the Dutch army will collapse without fighting and will directly surrender.

The original training outline of the Special Investigation Camp included the content of climbing over the wall into the city and stealth assassination. In order to be more targeted, the Guards Army used bamboo and wood to build a fake city that was exactly the same as the Relanzhe and made it into a sand table, so that He Bin, who had entered the Relanzhe City, could carefully identify it to ensure that there were no errors.

According to this training method, the soldiers of the battalion can enter the Dutch military camp or the chief office with ease.

In order to keep it completely confidential, Fang Jiahong only reported to Xiao Mo, and everyone else only thought that the Special Investigation Camp was conducting targeted training for Taiwanese students.

Xiao Mo was not worried that the crown prince would leak the secrets. I am afraid that no one in this world knows the secrets better than His Highness. He just hopes to explain after it plays a role, otherwise, if the guards' army and his face will inevitably be greatly lost. But he didn't know that there was a 10-man regiment in the army, and he didn't know that there were people from the 10-man regiment among the elite he drew.

Zhu Cixuan has long known Xiao Mo's "beheading operation" and can even grasp the training progress in real time. The reason why he did not say it thoroughly was that one was to give Xiao Mo a sense of security, and the other was also very happy to see Xiao Mo succeed and inspire the lieutenant generals to explore more ways to win battles.

In the position of the crown prince, the overall situation is always more important than the details.

...

"Du Zheng, I have to rely on the Zheng Du's connections this time." As soon as Zhu Cixuan got off the carriage, he laughed loudly at Zheng Zhilong who was coming to greet him, for fear that others would not hear it.

Zheng Zhilong had already opened the middle door, cleaned the floor, and welcomed His Royal Highness into the Crown Prince, while saying, "Your Highness has something to do, I dare not serve you!"

"That's it," Zhu Cixuan said as he walked, "Since the Ming Dynasty wanted to trade with Hongmaoyi, I always felt that it was a bit delayed to talk to the Taiwanese chief. I thought he was just a resident manager, so how could he make the decision? As for the commissioner sent, he was even more a young boy, and he had no authority. If he continued to talk like this, he would not be able to reach a deal for three or five years."

Zheng Zhilong responded repeatedly and said to himself: You don’t really want to talk about it, what does this posture mean?

"So I hope that Duke Zheng will send reliable people to Batavia as the north wind has risen and explain to his governor-general to trade with his governor General." Zhu Cixuan waved his hand and asked Lu Suyao to deliver a letter: "The goods that our dynasty wants to purchase and those who need to hire have already sold the goods list. The Dutch people can come to trade when the south wind is risen, and they will definitely not deceive them."

"Your Highness wants to start a business?"

"Let's try it out first." Zhu Cixuan said: "Only we do business by ourselves, where does the profits of the Maritime Service come from? If the Dutch, Portuguese, and even British people all drive ships, the incoming and outgoing commercial tax is a sum, and the port costs of the sea ships will be a lot."

"Have Your Highness also reported to the Franjiman in Macau?" Zheng Zhilong was a pirate, so he could see through such a delaying strategy.

Zhu Ciyang thought it was true. The Ming Dynasty fought two battles with the Dutch and drove them from Penghu to the island of Taiwan. Now it is a bit suspicious to say that they want to trade. It is better to bring the Portuguese in, which shows the sincerity of the Ming Dynasty's trade.

"Yes, the Portuguese were very friendly to our dynasty in the early years, and they sent artillery soldiers to help me defend the city. You can invite them to come." Zhu Cixuan said: "Give them a copy of the purchase of goods and a list of goods for sale. As for the Spanish, it's not enough, the old accounts of the Wanli period have not yet settled with them."

Zheng Zhilong was a little worried when he heard this. Now, in Nanyang, there are only two real powers, including the Dutch and the Spanish. Speaking of which, the Spaniards are stronger. If His Royal Highness wants to settle the old accounts of Wanli with them, wouldn’t this offend the two countries at the same time?

Zhu Cilang didn't have such concerns.

For the Ming Dynasty, the role of transit ports in Nanyang is far greater than the source of raw materials, which means that no Western country can impose an embargo on the Ming Dynasty alone. The Netherlands was originally an independent country under Spanish occupation and was naturally hostile to Spain. After the Netherlands advanced to Southeast Asia, it seized Portugal's overseas territories along the way and attacked Macau, which was destined to not be able to live in harmony with Portugal.

As for the killing of British business personnel, it also caused blood feud between the Netherlands and the United Kingdom... If the British power had not stopped in India now, Zhu Cixuan would not mind even pulling the British in, stirring the water even more.

The winter of the 20th year of Chongzhen quietly came, and Fujian became a huge construction site. Not only were the old city renovations in all prefectures and counties in order to meet the requirements of the crown prince, but more importantly, it was actively promoting the construction of the main and branch roads. Because His Royal Highness had nodded, as long as the road conditions could meet the standards, he was allowed to open a carriage factory and produce four-wheeled carriages.

Everyone knows that the four-wheeled carriage represents the travel trend of the wealthy class in the Ming Dynasty and is a symbol of identity and status. However, the steel used is difficult to buy. This special steel has excellent toughness and can reduce the bumps of the carriage and is the most important material.

This material control has curbed private capital from investing in the car manufacturing industry. At the same time, the administrative side also prohibits privately constructing four-wheeled carriages for people, and can only make four-wheel freight trucks. To this end, each carriage will engrave numbers on the axle when it leaves the factory and hang eye-catching license plates on the carriage.

If the carriage leaves the county, you must register at the prefecture and county police stations passing along the way.

In this way, not only the quality of a privately built carriage, but also faces the risk of being arrested when they are on the road.

Such a monopoly market can naturally bring high profits. High profits bring high taxes, which plays an important role in the examination of prefectures and county officials. How can you not worry about it?

Not to mention the mountainous Fujian, even Guangdong next door received news and explored the road construction standards and began to raise funds to build roads, hoping to produce such high-end goods.

The county officials in Guangzhou also dug out the originally lost county town planning manual and racked their brains to renovate the old city. At least there was a project hanging up, and the number of the crown prince came was an explanation. This kind of cooperation attitude was of course to open a business, otherwise wouldn’t the people who paid to invest in the market department lose all their money?
