In fact, the moment Zheng Zhihu entered the port, Wang Kaizhi received the news from the intelligence personnel.
The Zheng's Group was well-known in Fujian. Even if the players did not know Zheng Zhihu, many Fujian natives knew him.
The assessment report recorded Zheng Zhihu's state of mind after entering the Red Camphor. He had a deep impression of the Australian heavy artillery and was also amazed by the secret method of harvesting excess food.
Faced with Australia's unique advanced science and technology, Zheng Zhihu's first reaction was not to resist or ridicule. Instead, he was like some of the pedantic scholars in the Ming Dynasty who scolded them for their strange skills. Instead, he was envious and yearning for the strong.
It was not a big deal to ignore Zheng Zhihu's existence. The Zheng family was in danger. Zheng Zhilong was naturally more anxious than the transmigration organization. The longer this dragged on, the more benefits the transmigration organization could squeeze out of the Zheng family. Even if Wang Kaizhi watched Zheng Zhilong be defeated by Li Kuiqi, the Australian people would not lose any benefits.
From an extremely rational point of view, it was in the interests of the transmigration organization that the Zheng family was defeated by Li Kuiqi. At that time, the transmigration organization only needed 500 recruits, combat team players, and one to two thousand native servants to assemble a force of three thousand people. If there was an armed demonstration, the villagers of Bengang would definitely prepare food and drink to welcome the Song army.
Even if the leaders of the reclamation and clan leaders were unwilling, they did not dare to directly show that they wanted the Aussies to not exploit them too much.
history. It was after 1644 that the Upper Dutchman truly ruled the Dongyi region. Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and completely lost control of Dongyi. At that time, the Dutch could be considered to have temporarily stolen Dongyi.
The Dutchman collected taxes and corvee in Dongyi. The people of Dongyi were angry but did not dare to say anything. After 1644, the Chinese mainland was in a period of turmoil where dynasties changed. The number of ships trading by sea decreased drastically. The Dutch, due to the weakening of trade on the mainland, had a sharp decline in profits. Thus, they turned to the internal forces to exploit the people to collect benefits.
The Dutch imposed heavy taxes, imposed heavy labor, and threatened the people too much. As the saying went, where there was oppression, there would be resistance. In 1652, a peasant uprising led by Guo Huaiyi finally broke out.
In other words, as long as the Aussies reduced taxes and corvee in Benkang, the people of Benkang would not raise the flag of rebellion against the Song Dynasty.
But here came the problem. After watching Zheng Zhilong perish and effortlessly annex Dumb Harbor, Li Kuiqi still occupied Jin and Xia Islands and sealed off the Fujian coast. Moreover, as time passed, Li Kuiqi's strength continued to expand. It was a problem whether the transmigration organization could quickly take care of Li Kuiqi.
Li Kuiqi didn't have Zheng Zhilong's business mind. He only knew how to greedily take advantage of others and double the toll. He didn't understand the danger of draining the pond to catch the fish.
At that time, no one would be able to go out to sea to do business, and more than 70 to 80 percent of the transmigration group's material channels would be cut off. The transmigration group's pig iron, copper, tin, lead, and other military materials would basically be imported from the outside.
Imagine the lack of resources in Japan after the trade embargoes were implemented during World War II. The time-travel group was likely to follow in the footsteps of Japan in the later stages of World War II and become a self-entertainment group.
Did Dongyi have mineral resources?
Of course there was.
There were coal, iron, copper, mn, oil, gold, and sulfur in the north of Dongyi, but they were distributed in the northwest and northeast of Dongyi. It would take a long time to build the infrastructure for mining. Unfortunately, there were many native villages around. The less contact they had with outsiders, the more aggressive they were.
If they really wanted to go to Taibei to reclaim land and develop mineral resources, it would take a conservative estimate of three to six months to steadily produce the coal and iron resources needed by the industry.
The development of the above resources had a premise. The Spanish who built castles in Freshwater and Keelung would not cause trouble, but it was obviously impossible.
The Spanish had more troops stationed in the northern part of Dongyi than the Dutch. Moreover, the headquarters of the other Asian colonies was not far from the southern part of Dongyi, so the speed of the fleet support was much faster than the Dutch in Batavia.
Therefore, Wang Kaizhi and the elders finally came to the conclusion that they would help the Zheng family eliminate Li Kuiqi, but the exact date and reward would depend on the development of the situation. It could not be too fast, nor could it be later than the spring of 1630.
Because 1630 was an important historical node in Guangdong and Fujian, a peasant uprising broke out in the peaceful Guangdong area during the Chongzhen period. This peasant uprising originated from the eastern part of Guangdong and spread to several counties. Several peasant armies formed alliances and were active in the eastern part of Guangdong, southern Fujian, and southern Jiangxi. For a time, the three provinces were shocked.
It was only in the second half of 1631 that they managed to suppress the uprising, and Zheng Zhilong's Lu division played a very important role in the process of suppressing the uprising.
During the year when the peasant army was active, countless refugees had lost their homes and were homeless. This was the best time for the transmigration organization to take in the refugees from Guangdong and Fujian!
In order to complete the population intake plan, Zheng Zhilong's huge fleet was indispensable. The Huan Yi refugees had to take a boat to cross the sea.
Showing off the fortress 'heavy artillery to the Zheng family and showing off their strength was a deliberate move by the transmigration organization. The fear that powerful weapons imposed on people would help reduce the enemy's resistance.
Just like the Liaodong border army in the north of the Ming Dynasty who had been defeated repeatedly, the powerful field ability of the Houjin had planted a terrifying seed in their hearts. The first thought of all the Ming army and the Houjin army was not "Brothers, follow me", but "Everyone run fast, those who run slow will die".
If Zheng Zhihu was left with the thought that " the Australian people are invincible " and " even if they suffer losses, they must dispel the idea of using force against the Australian people ", then whether it was the alliance negotiations or the signing of the trade agreement, the Zheng's Group would consciously compromise. Otherwise, the ill-tempered Australian soldiers would come knocking on their doors.
Wang Kaizhi had summarized the negotiation techniques for the Zheng's Group from the suggestions of the players. He had set up a chat group in the game where all the closed beta players could speak freely.
although most
Players were very busy, and not everyone would talk in the group.
Some people complained in the group that they were not good at planning.
Some people wondered why the new pay-to-win function in the game allowed players to buy a set of Tang Dynasty Heavy Armor skins with pay-to-win money, but it was cotton and bamboo armor. There were no attribute bonuses at all. It was simply spending money to buy skins.
Some people expressed that the follower function could only recruit one android follower.
There were also people who were eager to experience the new Commander Mode and feel the sense of accomplishment of commanding combat players.
The atmosphere in the chat group was occasionally very funny. When the direction of the chat group was to discuss the game content or serious topics, there would always be people jumping out to interrupt the conversation. However, when the players kept asking for more good brothers, the direction of the conversation would suddenly change and continue to talk about serious issues…
In the industry, the authority had the right to speak. Whenever someone pretended to know something and insisted on being a bickering expert, there would always be a few dazzling papers thrown out by a god. The complicated data parameters were difficult to understand, and the bickering expert would be rendered speechless on the spot.
To Wang Kaizhi's surprise, the players in the chat group weren't most interested in playing tricks, but in discussing political topics.
