In the usual sense, the " Dutch East India Company " should actually be the " United East India Company " or " Roc ".
It was a commercial company with national functions, colonizing and plundering the East, and trading with the East. It was founded on March 20, 1602, and less than 30 years had passed since 1629.
In 1619, the "Roc" established its headquarters in Batavia (present-day Java) on the island of Java, and then harassed and attacked the residents of the Ming Dynasty along the coast of China. It was repelled by the Fujian government for a short period of time because it occupied Penghu. In 1624, it occupied a high official and prepared to use this place as a trade transit station.
However, Batavia was far away from the High Official, and it took a long time to go back and forth. If they wanted to gain a foothold in the High Official, they had to invest in construction. It was not until 1633 that the High Official's Commercial House turned into a profit under the reorganization of Hans Putmans.
In 1629, Dongyi's development was still very low. It seemed to be only about 40 kilometers away from Gaoxiong, but the dense forests and shrubs all over the place became fierce green obstacles.
The players could only rely on machetes to open the way and a compass to guide them.
Liu Qi stretched out his leg and kicked a patch of grass, sending a swarm of pitch-black mosquitoes flying. He couldn't help but let out a low cry of surprise. It wasn't just the mosquitoes that came into contact with him. All kinds of mosquitoes, snakes, and monsters from the subtropics emerged one after another. Even the most disgusting leeches would crawl on his body.
Fortunately, players are players. If ordinary people enter the jungle area in the hot summer, there will only be more mosquitoes. If they are unlucky, they will be bitten by mosquitoes and contract serious malaria.
Most of the Han people who came to Dongyi died of tropical diseases, so Dongyi was regarded as a land of plague. It was not until the middle and late Ming Dynasty that people started to develop it.
It was impossible to have a road. They could have covered the distance in an afternoon, but they still had not reached their destination by the time it got dark.
The only fortunate thing was that most of the natives living near the coastline had been repeatedly harassed by the pirates and had retreated to live inland. Therefore, the expedition team did not encounter any sudden attacks from the natives along the way.
As long as they set their destination, they would eventually arrive. It was just a matter of whether they arrived early or late. After an hour of darkness, everyone finally saw a few scattered torches.
"We've finally reached the high position."
" Pu Zhou " was like a high school student who had just finished his college entrance examination. The pressure on his body and mind was immediately released. He took out a rice ball soaked in vinegar from the rattan bag on his waist and swallowed it in a few bites, temporarily suppressing the hunger that was about to stir.
The food and water required by the androids used by the players was only 50% of that of ordinary people. Most of the energy of the androids came from the " emotional energy " produced by the players themselves. Food was only a secondary means of replenishing energy.
"Not really. The High Official should have been established on a sandbar at this time. The fact that we can see fire on land means that we are most likely looking at the 'Chikan Region'.
Mo Li activated his knowledge base.
He shared his knowledge of history.
The handsome archer drew on the soil beside his feet with his fingers and soon drew a rough outline.

The other team members gathered around. A large number of them were separated from Chisuo by the Taijiang inland sea. This Dahong Lake was surrounded by the sandbar where the high-ranking official was located and the coastline where Chisuo was located. It could allow small and medium-sized ships below 300 tons to enter and avoid the wind and waves.
"Ah, the Tainan I saw on the map is different from this one, Liu Qi said.
"You don't understand. After a few hundred years, the coastline will definitely change.
" Mo Li " started to draw a line on a few sandbag-sized sandbars, connecting all the sandbars into a string." When Zheng Chenggong recovers Dongyi, this place will be connected into a string..."
" Oh! Useless knowledge has been added!" The crowd exclaimed in understanding.
"Since we've arrived at the stronghold of the Dutchman, can we start fighting?”
"What stronghold? This is Chinese territory! The Dutchman is an invader!”'Su San' protested against the inappropriate words of the army members.
"Okay, okay, okay. They are intruders. What are the 12 of us going to do?”
"Scout first and complete the mission." Ding Xiu took out the monocular from his newbie gift bag and handed it to another spearman.
The lucky spearman did not receive an item, but an attribute-night vision.
Lucky Spear observed the architectural situation of the Chiying area through the monocular. While observing, he told the details and layout to the little painting expert " Urafune."
Pu Zhou quickly drew a simple map of the Red Ball. There were not many houses on the Red Ball, and the wooden and bamboo houses were messy. The rough cloth estimated that the population was only one to two hundred people.
One of the small villages surrounded by bamboo walls caught Lucky Spear's attention. After he described the characteristics and scale of the village, Mo Li spoke up.
It was probably in history. There should be more than 100 Japanese people in the village. It was a trading station for Japanese merchants to buy local products from Dongyi and mainland merchants.
But when Tokugawa| A few years later, the shogunate announced that the country was closed off. Any Japanese who went abroad were not allowed to return to the country. If they returned, they would be sentenced to death. These wandering Japanese would become homeless.
The " Firefighting Battalion " did not dare to continue scouting forward. After all, the Dutchman had troops stationed in Chiying. If dozens of people came with muskets, they would probably be driven out of the sea.
Just as the group members were trying their best to record the reconnaissance information and disperse the fog of war nearby, Liu Qi vaguely saw a few sporadic fire spots moving toward his side.
"Hey, brothers, I think I see someone coming.”
Liu Qi's warning caught everyone's attention. They quickly held their breaths and held their weapons tightly as they looked forward.
There was almost no extra light in the wilderness. The pitch-black and realistic wilderness environment made everyone feel as if their palms were sweating.
"Formation"…Ding Xiu said softly. Everyone slowly got into a three-row formation to face the enemy. Liu Qi, the musketeer, naturally stood at the very end.
"Woof!"
A furious bark pierced through the silent night sky, and the players had a bad feeling.
"F * ck, there are actually hounds!”" Gilen " growled and drew his sword. He held a waist sword on his right and a round shield on his left.
"Prepare for battle!" Ding Xiu pulled out his long saber helplessly and held the hilt with both hands.
Liu Qi only felt the adrenaline rushing through his blood. His nervousness was like lead water pricking his blood vessels. The realistic game made him feel as if he was facing a great enemy.
He took out the ammunition from the paper bag, but he was so nervous that he did not even bite the paper.
"He's here!" Ding Xiu shouted, and the ferocious hound pounced. Get into the battle formation.
