After the Soochow fleet visited Yizhou, the Central Plains Dynasty began to rule the island of Taiwan, but this rule was only in name and did not establish direct rule in Taiwan.For a long time, the island of Taiwan belonged to the local natives, as well as the high rollers of the sea.When he was a pirate in his early years, he recruited more than 500,000 people to settle in the southern part of Taiwan Island to meet his own needs, so that some villages appeared in Tainan, and the living environment was gradually transformed.After Zheng Zhilong was edicted by the imperial court, he left Taiwan, where the conditions were relatively harsh, and went to Fujian to work as an official to enjoy happiness, while the people who stayed in Tuntian, Taiwan Island, lost their asylum and were gradually ruled by the Dutch, and the Tainan area became a Dutch colony.The island of Taiwan is vast, equivalent to half of Fujian, and because the Central Plains Dynasty did not establish direct rule, there were various forces entrenched on the island under the power vacuum.At the southern end of the island is the colony of the Dutch East India Company, a maritime power, and in the central and western areas of the island is the Potbelly Kingdom established by the Taidao Familiar Domain.Originally, the situation on Taiwan Island was in a situation of temporary equilibrium, and neither side had the strength to completely control the island, and there was considerable friction between the two sides, but no major conflict occurred.However, Zhao Ming's development of Taiwan and colonization broke the peace on the island.At this time, the Zhejiang Metropolitan Command had successively sent more than 200,000 people to the northern region of Taiwan and established a large colonization base along the coastline.The northern part of Taiwan was originally the sphere of influence of the Spaniards, and the influx of 200,000 Han Chinese naturally made the Spaniards feel uneasy, and they were worried that the Han people would occupy their stronghold, so they wanted to massacre the Han people as they did in Manila to prevent the Han people from replacing their rule in northern Taiwan.Soon after the first cantonments landed, the Spaniards had already found out, but at this time they did not pay attention to it, but had some rejoicing.A few decades ago, the Spaniards sent troops to Keelung in order to break through the Dutch trade blockade of Manila and gradually conquered northern Taiwan.It's just that the Spaniards couldn't afford to expel the Dutch, and the northern part of Taiwan was not developed, and the colonial income was not enough to maintain the cost of the garrison, but they had to rely on Manila to subsidize the operation of northern Taiwan.After the Spanish massacre of China in Manila, Manila's economy declined, and the Spaniards had no choice but to reduce the garrison in Keelung, giving the Dutch an opportunity to break through Keelung and destroy the Spanish stronghold a few years earlier.At this time, the Dutch were severely damaged by Zhao Ming, and the Spaniards urgently needed to trade with China and spend the silver dug up from the Americas, so they occupied the Keelung area again.Seeing the landing of Chinese, Spain was very happy at first, they could not defeat the Dutch on the island of Taiwan, a big reason is that there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese in Tainan, and the Dutch get food and materials from them, while in Taipei, there are only primeval forests and raw clans that cut off people's heads at every turn.Now that the Chinese have arrived, the Spaniards are very happy in their hearts, ready to use the Chinese to develop Taipei, and then colonize these Chinese like the Dutch.It's just that the Dutch did not expect that the speed of the Chinese on the island was very fast, and if they were not careful, more than 100,000 came, which made the Spaniards unable to sit still.The Spaniards were very ambivalent about China, on the one hand, they hoped that the Chinese would come and prosper the Taipei area, so that they could obtain taxes and food, and on the other hand, they were afraid that too many Chinese would affect their rule.At this time, with the increase of Chinese, it undoubtedly made the Spaniards feel threatened.In the governor of Keelung, Spain, sent personnel to the village of the Tun army to collect taxes, and after being driven out by the Tun army, the two sides officially tore their faces, and the Spaniards began to attack the Ming army's cantonment.After fighting with the Dutch, Zhejiang commanded the envoy's tun army, and fought with the Dutch and the local people in northern Taiwan.At present, the Ming military guard occupies the later Tamsui basin and the Taipei area, while Spain controls the vicinity of the chicken coop, and the friction is escalating.The Spanish also resorted to the means of Luzon, inciting the natives to attack the cantonment and burning the strongholds of the Ming army, causing great losses to the cantonment army.~~~~~~ when Zhang Yida reached Taiwan and saw the conflict between the Tun army and the Spanish and Turkish people, the Ming army on the Zhoushan Islands, after two months of reorganization and intensive training, had already set sail and arrived at Chongming Sandbank.After the reorganization, excluding the old and weak, Zhao Ming had a total of five soldiers, a total of more than 28,000 people.There are nearly 30,000 people, which is equivalent to a town soldier, but Zhao Ming's strength is actually equivalent to Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing.After the assessment of these nearly 30,000 soldiers, only more than 3,000 were rated as sharp soldiers, and most of them were medium and inferior sharp soldiers, only 320 high-class sharp soldiers, and the rest were 6,000 soldiers, as well as a large number of soldiers.In the ninth level, the personal combat power of the high-grade sharp soldiers is probably equivalent to that of the Manchurian soldiers, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is similar to the combat power of the elite green battalion soldiers such as Liu Liangzuo, and the baggage soldiers can only be compared with the ordinary green battalion.From this point of view, in terms of strength, Zhao Ming is still too far behind the Manchu Qing Dynasty.Fortunately, he was not the only anti-Qing force, and it was impossible for the Qing army to use all the elite troops to deal with him, and he did not need to take the initiative to find the elite Qing soldiers to fight, and he could rely on the advantage of sea mobility to find the weak points of the Qing army and launch an attack.At this time, on the other side of Chongming Island, on the edge of the Yangtze River in Songjiang Prefecture, a team of cavalry galloped, led by two people, one wearing red armor and an iron helmet and lightning rod on his head, it was Man Dahai, who had just taken over the military affairs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the other was an official wearing a black official robe and a hat on his head, which was Hong Chengchou.Man Dahai and Hong Chengchou Lerma stood on the shore, each took out a clairvoyant mirror, and observed the Chongming Water Village on the opposite bank.On the river, seven huge three-masted gunboats are cruising on the river, and the warships in the water village are gathered, and the masts are like forests, and there are seven or eight hundred warships of all sizes."
Zhao Manzi has brought a lot of people!"
Man Dahai frowned and put down the clairvoyant mirror.When Hong Chengchou heard this, he also collected the clairvoyant mirror, and said in a deep voice: "According to the scout's report, more than 15,000 people and horses came from Zhoushan, plus the original thief army in Chongming Shazhou, Zhao Tiebang gathered more than 20,000 troops here!"
”In this operation, Zhao Ming did not come out of the nest, first, Wang Yi of Siming Mountain was inconvenient to transfer, and second, after the reorganization, some people still needed to be trained, and they also needed to keep a team of soldiers and horses to guard against Ma Guanghui and guard the Zhoushan Islands.Man Dahai groaned, "20,000 thieves can break through most of the county towns within half a day, once Zhao Manzi enters the Yangtze River, the consequences are unimaginable!"
”Hong Chengchou smiled and said: "Lord Belle rest assured, since Zhao Tiebang entered the Yangtze River last year, the main hall has built forts in Wolf Mountain, Fushan, Jingjiang, Yangzhong, Guazhou and other places, arranged artillery, and blocked the river.This time, it will not be easy for him to re-enter the Yangtze River. ”(Thanks to the book friend 20190306212415540 500, Nongfu Spring 399 of a little field, Ma Xiaopang loves Chen Ying, and the reward of overseas casual cultivation 2, thank you for your support, ask for a monthly pass, recommend, and subscribe.) ）()
