Starting from the sixteenth century, Western colonists invaded America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, turning large areas of land where local natives lived for generations into their colonies.

Since embarking on the road of colonization, Westerners have been invincible and rarely have rivals, but they have repeatedly touched their heads and bloodshot in China.

Zhao Ming was excited about this, but at the same time he also knew that this was because at this time, the scientific and technological level of the East and the West were not much different, the economic strength was stronger than that of the West, and due to the limitations of the distance, the difficulties of Western colonists in fighting in China's offshore, such as soldiers, equipment, and food supply, which made the Spaniards unable to compete with him.

However, it is indeed worthy of being able to hit Western colonists at a time when they are invincible and are invincible.

In March, the Spaniards in the Chicken Clodge surrendered to Zhao Ming and ended their colonial rule in Taiwan.

The Ming army completely recaptured the northern part of Taiwan and solved the threat of the Spaniards to the colonial area of ​​Donghai Town.

At this time, Taiwan transitioned from a three-legged stalemate to a situation where the two strong men held each other.

The Dutch occupied the southern part of Taiwan south of Chuo Water and Hualien, while the Donghai Town occupied the northern part of Dadu Creek and Hualien north of Hualien.

Although there is a big belly kingdom between Dadu Creek and Zhuo Creek, its strength is not worth mentioning. On Taiwan Island, Donghai Town is mainly in opposition to the Dutch people from north to south.

At this time, it took more than three years for Donghai Town to go to the island, and its foundation was still unstable and the occupied land was not fully developed, so Zhao Ming did not intend to launch a war to unify Taiwan immediately.

The heroes of all dynasties have always aimed at unifying the world, but Zhao Ming’s goal at this time is to unify Taiwan, which is a bit ridiculous. However, compared to unifying the world, Zhao Ming feels that unifying Taiwan is more realistic for him.

After the Spanish surrendered, all the wars in Donghai Town stopped, and Zhao Ming's energy was transferred to industry, education, and marriage.

Originally, Zhao Ming was going to have a wedding at the end of last year, but the Fujian incident was delayed again.

Now that we can't delay anyway, we have to do it. It's not just his subordinates' anxiousness, but Zhao Ming is actually anxious. Young people are full of energy, so how can they not miss women?

But he doesn't have to worry about these things, Ma Shiao will do it. He just needs to take time to participate in the wedding and then get sleepy with the bride.

The wedding date was scheduled in June. At the end of April, the Spanish in Luzon sent ships to send 100,000 taels of silver and picked up the Spanish prisoners. The Treaty of Chicken Cang Mingxi officially came into effect.

At this time, there are still two months left before the wedding. The reason why it took so long was that the transportation was inconvenient and that the gift-giving people had to come. Moreover, Zhao Ming was preparing to show the guests that came by using the wedding, and he had to repair his residence.

The wedding date is still early, and Zhao Ming did not stay in the chicken coop, but led a fleet to patrol the coast of Taiwan.

At this time, Zhao Ming set up the Grand Governor's headquarters in Tamsui and began to operate the shogunate of the Right Army Governor's Office and the Zhejiang Commander's Office at all levels moved from Zhoushan to Taiwan.

Zhao Ming took Chen Mingyu, Dai Zhijun, Chen Yujie, Feng Jingdi, Xu Fuyuan, Chen Zilong and others to inspect Tamsui, Taipei, Taoyuan, Zhuqian and other places.

Although there are more than 1.3 million people on the island and have been developing for more than three years, the land being used is still only a small part.

Zhao Ming patrolled the bamboo trench all the way. Accompanied by commander Zhang Zhongjian, he came to the south of the bamboo trench and saw a large area of ​​land covered with dense forests and shrubs.

"The Duke of the State, defeated the Queen of Datu, occupied this place. It is located on the south bank of Dajia Creek. The land is flat and fertile, suitable for military farming and raising soldiers. It turns out that the natives who live here are not greedy for surplus, but only meet their own needs. The land utilization rate is very low. If we immigrate to reclaim land, we will definitely become a granary!" Zhang Zhongjian introduced.

Taiwan has abundant resources. Like islands such as Nanyang, the natives do not need too much effort to live. Therefore, they will not work hard like the Han people, reserve grain for shortage, and sell grain for money and other goods, so the land utilization rate is very low.

Zhao Ming also felt that Taiwan Island was vast and sparsely populated, and local people only sought food and clothing, unlike the Han people on the island who worked hard and pursued progress.

Since two thousand years ago, Chen She yelled that the saying "Will the kings, princes, generals and ministers be more likely to have a seed?" has planted the Chinese people with a gene to strive for progress.

Looking at the world's nations, no nation will be as eager to make money and success as the Chinese people. The Chinese believe in people to conquer nature, and believe in kings, princes, generals and ministers. I believe that as long as you work hard, you can change your life and improve your status.

This cultural gene has made China occupy the top of the world's nation again and again.

This is also the reason why Zhao Ming is confident to expand Taiwan and develop Nanyang.

Without government leadership and support, the Chinese can make a fortune overseas. Now with the support of the government, there is no reason not to compete with Western colonists.

Zhao Ming scanned the flat and rich land in front of him and said to everyone: "Maining the family and the country, food is the first priority. Now that we have this treasure land, we should implement the method of integrating troops into agriculture, so that our East China Sea soldiers can be fully fed, and then we can watch the Qing Dynasty's quarrels and make progress."

Chen Mingyu nodded and said, "The Duke's words are reasonable. If there is no food in the family, even if there is no food in the family, it will be difficult to keep the family together. If there is no food in the country, even if there are loyal and patriotic people, it will be difficult to govern the country. Now, follow the Duke to look at the land carefully, and it will be very fertile. If the farming is done properly, the soldiers in the East China Sea will have no worries, and the food in the court will be relieved!"

Zhao Ming nodded, and then said to Chen Zilong who was accompanying him: "Sir, you can write a travel note on Yingzhou to record the inspection of Taiwan here, talk about what you see, ask and think, and publish it in the "Fuxing Daily"!"

Chen Zilong has been watching the scenery of Yingzhou in recent days and has written a lot of poems. He was about to write a travel note, but he bowed and smiled and said, "I am humble and receive the order!"

Fuxing News is a newspaper run by Zhao Ming. With Chen Zilong as the editor-in-chief, it is set to be one issue per month at the current speed of dissemination, collecting world information and current news, and publishing it on the above.

Of course, a certain amount of space is indispensable in each issue, which is for Zhao Ming to record who the Duke met in a month, what good things he did, and the happy life of the Taiwanese people.

At this moment, the group continued to patrol and even went deep into the mountains. When the compatriots of the Gaoshan tribe within the sphere of influence in Donghai Town learned that Zhao Ming was coming to inspect, they lined up to welcome him.

Zhao Ming comforted these young comrades with kind words and gave them salt and cloth to condolences, strictly prohibiting his troops from infringing on their interests.

Zhao Ming patrolled along the coast and returned to Tamsui at the end of May. At this time, Cheng Bi, who was preparing for the Fujian Preparation Company, and a large number of people who came to congratulate him, rushed over.
