Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 330 Recovering Dongfan Island ([-]) Bombarding Dongyang
Liu Kongzhao was busy collecting and repairing warships, and Zheng Zhilong was also busy accepting Kuiyi's surrender at this time.

Zheng Zhilong, the commander in chief of Fujian Province and the prefect of Taiwan, is riding a bay red horse, wearing a multicolored scarlet unicorn suit, a black gauze hat inlaid with jade and cloud pattern on his head, a white jade belt around his waist, and black boots with a white bottom. All in armor, guarded by the officers and soldiers of the Zheng family armed with firearms, they walked towards the forlorn Dutch officer Kui Yi.

Kui Yi held the brochure and seal, as well as his own command knife, and stood bowed behind the stage.

And all the other Dutch colonists behind him were doing the same, waiting for Ming court official Zheng Zhilong to accept his surrender.

Zheng Zhilong accepted Kui Yi's surrender, and read out the imperial edict of His Majesty Zhu Youjian, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty on the spot.

The general idea of ​​the imperial decree is that it was decided to change Dongfan Island to Taiwan, establish it as Taiwan Prefecture, change Zeelandia City to Anping City, and use Anping City as the government. All equipment, craftsmen, etc. were escorted to Beijing to wait for processing.

At this time, Kuiyi could only accept such a fate. All the officers and soldiers of the Daming Zheng Group tied their hands with hemp rope, and all dragged them to the port, ready to be shipped to Beijing.

Seeing this, the Chinese and Chinese merchants rushed to pick up stones, soil, etc., and greeted these Dutch colonists, cursing angrily, and even came directly to beat them.

The Dutch colonists who used to be domineering in the past can only bear the scolding and beatings of the Chinese businessmen at this time, and dare not have any more complaints.

So far, in April of the 20th year of Chongzhen, the island of Taiwan, which was occupied by the Dutch colonists, officially returned to the Ming Dynasty and officially accepted the rule of the Han regime.

Although it can only be controlled by the Zheng Group at present, it still belongs to the territory of Daming in name and administration, which can be understood as the magistrate of a land of Daming.

Zheng Zhilong began to develop in the Taiwan government very early, and now he can naturally carry out development with ease after regaining the Taiwan government. In addition to the construction of colonists such as Frangji and the Netherlands, Zheng Zhilong has now re-established the political order and Production order is not difficult.

In less than two months, Zheng Zhilong had drafted all the appointment lists of officials at all levels in the Taiwan government and submitted them to Beijing for approval by the cabinet and the supervisor of rituals.

At the same time, he began to immigrate a large number of Han Chinese to settle here, and he also officially distributed land to his subordinates. He also mentioned that Taiwan was the first choice for the imperial court to exile prisoners, and there was an urgent need for reclamation and other reasons.

Liu Kongzhao has no interest in Zheng Zhilong establishing his own production base in Taiwan. He also knows that even if His Majesty does not agree with Zheng Zhilong's recovery of the Taiwan government, Zheng Zhilong can recover the Taiwan government with Zheng Zhilong's strength, so he has nothing to say about Zheng Zhilong's occupation of the Taiwan government.

"My lord, this is your two thousand hectares of fertile land. One thousand hectares is a reward for defrauding Van der Laan the day before yesterday. This one thousand hectares was given to you for free by my subordinates. I only hope that in the future, the court will tell you about my Zheng family. Regarding this matter, I would also like to ask you to say a few words of kindness, and please tell your majesty that I will definitely guard the southern border for Daming, and do not let a pirate enter the inland state capital to wreak havoc, if any, I will kill if I am willing!"

Zheng Zhilong gave the land deed to Liu Kongzhao. Now that he owns the Taiwan Mansion, the most important thing he lacks is the land, so he is not stingy in giving Liu Kongzhao a gift.

Liu Kongzhao is the head of the Navy Department of the Generalissimo's Mansion, and he is his superior in name, and also has the title of Earl of Sincerity.

Zheng Zhilong also knew that His Majesty Zhu Youjian sent Liu Kongzhao here to be a supervisor to monitor him. Now, in order to gain Zhu Youjian's trust and hope to get the support of the imperial court's military salary and weapons, he naturally wants to ask for help. Liu Kong said yes.

"It's easy to say, easy to say," Liu Kongzhao did not refuse, and took over the land deed. He also knew that it was not the time for him to go against the Zheng family. After all, even His Majesty hadn't gone against the Zheng family.

Less gossip.

Liu Kongzhao took four sailing warships built in the Netherlands, escorted Kui Yi and other Dutch prisoners of war, a large number of equipment purchased by Kui Yi during his occupation of Taiwan, and a large number of craftsmen. On April [-]th, he officially left Taiwan. Go north, ready to return to Nanjing.

Overall, Liu Kongzhao is very satisfied with his trip to southern Xinjiang.

Although he has re-realized the strength of Zheng's Group and also realized how far the Ming Navy is still far behind, he is already very happy to be able to add four sailing warships to the Ming Navy at this moment.

"Chu Huaisheng, what kind of first-class sailing warship we bought from Van der Laan, it seems that we haven't tried the effect yet. The lord is thinking about finding a chance to shoot him a few times to see the effect. If it really doesn't work, It’s still too late to regret it before paying the full amount.”

When Liu Kongzhao said this, Chu Huaisheng also agreed: "My lord, you are right, you still have to try a few shots."

"Where to put it, you recommend a place."

When Liu Kongzhao said this, Chu Huaisheng also thought about it:
"When I was studying at the Daming Shipping Bureau, Your Majesty said that the Eastern Ocean, the Southern Ocean, and the Northern Ocean are all my Daming's waters. We are the Navy of the Ming Dynasty, and you are the chief of our navy, sir. You can release it wherever you want. But we have a lot of fishing boats in this area, so it’s better not to disturb the people, and to save those ministers from the court from bothering us. According to the students, it’s better to go to the East and shoot him a few times. Mr. Zheng talked about Emperor Sejong when he was teaching. During the Japanese riots at that time, these guys killed many of us, we might as well scare these Japanese slaves."

"Well, it's a good idea. It seems that you did not study in vain during those days at the Daming Ship Administration Bureau."

Liu Kongzhao nodded and ordered the entire fleet of warships to turn to the direction of Ryukyu. Once they passed Ryukyu, Liu Kongzhao's fleet arrived in Nagasaki.

The first-class sailing battleship "Stubborn John" also officially approached the port of Nagasaki, and began to ignite and fire cannons. Soon, the whole of Nagasaki, Japan was bombarded three times in a row, each time dozens of giant artillery were fired in unison. Countless forts, ships, and houses along the coast of Nagasaki were destroyed.

The Tokugawa shogunate of Japan was very surprised when they heard the news. When they thought that there had been warships of the Ming Dynasty in Nagato before, they realized that this was the expression of their anger by the kingdom of heaven.

The Tokugawa shogunate did not dare to provoke Daming because of this, and hurriedly prepared to send envoys to pay tribute to Daming, to express their goodwill to the Emperor of Ming, and hoped that Daming would stop venting his anger to Japan.

Of course, these are things to follow.

Liu Kongzhao didn't expect that he just fired a few shots in Nagasaki, Japan, which frightened the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan. After finding that the battleship "Stubborn John" he bought was in good condition, he left.

After Liu Kongzhao brought back the first-class battleship "Stubborn John" and appeared in Songjiang Mansion, it also aroused the surprise of the entire Songjiang Mansion.

No one expected that there would be such a large warship. Not only that, but when Liu Kongzhao brought the warship to Nanjing, he directly alarmed Song Yingxing from the Ministry of Industry.
