Liu Jun has moved to the new flagship of the Spanish Galen Sailing, which was renamed the Fubo. Many of the surrendered Spaniards chose to work for Liu Jun in exchange for security of life and property.◎,

The original crew sailors of the Fubo were basically back. The warship had thirty officers, eighty sailors, eighty trainee sailors, fifty servants and more than one hundred gunners. The deck of the ship was also equipped with a soldier of three hundred people, which did not include the commander who commanded the fleet, the officials who accompanied the fleet, as well as the merchants, civilians and soldiers who were transported on the ship.

This ship has eighty-four artillery guns.

In addition to commanders, tax officers, military chaplains and surgeons, as well as a few professionals on the warship, the original Spanish sailors on the Vobo were roughly divided into four categories: full-time seafarers, trainee seafarers, young seafarers, and gunners.

Those positions without military rank are generally called technicians, including carpenters, divers, repairmen, trumpeters, etc. Among these crew members, gunners usually consider themselves to be the best sailors, strictly maintaining the artillery in accordance with regulations, manipulating them in battle, and also being responsible for a non-professional sailor.

Those trainee sailors have been on board the boat and learned technology at sea since they were teenagers, and by the time they became full-time sailors, they had a lot of experience. However, before becoming full-time sailors, the officials, relatives and friends, or trainee sailors from wandering children, had to take charge of all the servants' work during the internship, wipe the tables and wash the decks, assist the sailors. The full-time sailors were also responsible for night shifts to ensure that the ship could sail at night.

The soldiers on the ship have their own organization, and all the soldiers in the fleet are under the command of the commander-in-chief. The infantry on the ship has the same organizational structure as the Spanish Army. An army commander responsible for soldiers' training and food and accommodation will assist the captain in completing the command work, and the non-commissioned officers will be responsible for managing some of the soldiers' daily activities.

Similar to the Army's "platoon", every 25 soldiers are divided into a squadron, with a non-commissioned officer as the squadron leader. Like seamen, soldiers are also classified according to their experience. Experienced veterans receive the most generous salary, including a flag bearer, two drummers and a bagpiper. The treated messengers will be better than other soldiers.

The soldiers on Garen's ship were half equipped with spears and half equipped with muskets.

The eighty-four cannons on Garen's ship were placed on the extremely practical four-wheel gun mount. It uses pulleys, and the style of this gun mount is very effective.

The warship has a large number of artillery, each cannon is under the responsibility of a gunner. During the battle, a sailor and an intern sailor assisted. The soldiers on the ship are not responsible for artillery, they are mainly responsible for the boarding operations.

During the battle, the infantry stood in their own position to carry out the orders. Under the leadership of the squadron, one of the most experienced squadrons was arranged to the front ship building, while several other squadrons focused on the middle of the ship, the rear deck and the stern. If there were enough personnel, they would also arrange a reserve team to stay under the deck for the boarding operations.

Each time the port point is connected, it will be fired first by the muskets among the soldiers. The muskets are divided into two teams. One team of soldiers shoots at the side of the ship, and the other team retreats to the back and loads it.

Soldiers equipped with melee weapons are concentrated on the other side of the deck, waiting for orders to take action. Once the order for attack is issued, the soldiers preparing to attack will concentrate on the front ship building and conduct close combat according to their usual training.

After carefully looking at the personnel matching on the Fubo and their traditional combat methods, Liu Jun sighed. He is worthy of being the former overlord of the ocean. Even though he is gradually declining, the Spanish warships are still extremely powerful. The cooperation between the sailors and the Marines on their warships is also extremely mature.

Liu Jun could even see that these people were more powerful than the crew of the Zheng family.

"Treat these Spanish crew soldiers and learn all their skills." Liu Jun specifically told his subordinates not to treat these people as prisoners, but to treat them as teachers.

In the end, nearly half of the captives became Liu Jun's mercenaries, some of the remaining half were officials like Potiro, and some were women, girls, children or servants.

"Mr. Marquis, what are you going to deal with these people?" Xiong Wencan asked. This time, Liu Jun seized Jilong Port and seized a large amount of money, grain and goods. After Liu Jun obtained the warships, ships and artillery weapons, he did not really forget Zheng Zhilong and Xiong Wencan, and finally handed over all the goods to Zheng Zhilong. Then Zheng Zhilong converted it into silver and divided it into four parts. Zheng family, Liu Jun and Xiong Wencan each, and left a large portion for the emperor.

Although Xiong Wencan won less than Liu Jun and Zheng Zhilong, the amount was worth tens of thousands of taels.

Liu Jun's income was the most abundant, his share was more than 200,000 taels, and he also enjoyed a lot of gold and silver alone.

Regarding Potiro and others, Liu Jun thought for a while and said, "Potiro and other officials were taken away with the army, and the rest of the women and children will stay here for the time being. We must also leave some troops here and continue to control the castles and ports here. Let's leave them to the Admiral Zheng to send someone to take over. In the future, it can be used as a trade re-export port between the Ming Dynasty and Japan."

The Ming Dynasty and Japan were hostile. Even if the court was willing to lift the maritime ban, it would definitely not open up trade with Japan. In this way, there would be a third-party transit for trade between Japan and China. Taiwan is a very suitable transit port. The Zheng family occupied this place, and received goods from both sides and resold them to both countries to reap the benefits.

When Zheng Zhilong heard this arrangement, he laughed and agreed.

"Thank you, Marquis." Then he slapped Liu Jun with Xiong Wencan on his back. Liu Jun shook his head, Zheng Zhilong scored a six-pointer, and Liu Jun stretched out two fingers to him.

"In the future, we will leave it to Admiral Zheng, and even when we take over the senior officials, the admiral will be responsible for it. This marquis will still have to go back after inspecting the Southeast military affairs and cannot participate too much in this matter."

Zheng Zhilong hurriedly said, "If you don't have to worry about this, I'll be responsible for it. In the future, the Marquis will get 30% of the trade with Japan every year, so don't refuse."

At this time, Liu Jun had already planned to leave and continue sailing south. Taiwan's Spaniards were extremely weak, and this time Liu Jun's main opponent was the Dutch.

However, before leaving, some things still have to be arranged.

Since the new Taiwan governor first went to Fujian by land, Liu Jun, the imperial envoy, ordered to send people to indigenous villages and communities in northern Taiwan to convey the latest situation, announcing that the Ming Dynasty had recaptured Taiwan, and then set up an official garrison here to let the leaders of each village and community come to discuss matters.

In order to express goodwill, Liu Jun asked the soldiers who went to pass the order to bring a lot of meeting gifts to each village and a letter of appointment to the elders of each village.

Liu Jun appointed these elders as officials, ten households as armored chiefs, and hundreds of households as protection officers. Each village has a village chief and five villages as president. These indigenous people also have a village chief and civil defense regiments. All these native officials will have a salary, and each village has a certain amount of rural soldiers and militia groups. After these indigenous soldiers are included in the roster, they will also have a certain salary.

After receiving Liu Jun's gift, the foreigners from the indigenous villages also learned about the arrival of the huge fleet of the Ming Dynasty's official army, as well as the capture of the Spanish by the castle and the captive of the people. Hearing that tens of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty landed and replaced the Spanish, the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty are now inviting the elders of the villages to discuss matters and give them officials and gifts. People have basically come to each village.

A few days later, more than 100 Basai tribes, mainly the three major clubs of Jinminli Society, Dajilong Society, and Sandiao Society. As well as the Tamayan Society, which still retains the matriarchal clans, arrived at more than 70 groups of the Karmalan tribes, including Meijian Society, Qilidan Society, and thousands of indigenous people from nearly 200 villages and communities.

Liu Jun made people warmly entertain these people, and kept sending people to promote the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty would establish Keelung Prefecture here, sending officials to garrison troops, etc.

Every arrival of the foreigner will be warmly welcomed by the officers and soldiers, and will lead them to register, register their village and community residence, population, etc., and then send each person a large gift package including cloth, salt, books, and silver, and then introduce them to the tent area that has been built early to arrange residence for them.

At the same time, while waiting for more foreigners to come, Liu Jun also set up a large area as a trading area so that the natives of the tribes, villages and communities who came could trade, sell the local fur they brought, and buy and exchange other goods.

Liu Jun also sent many soldiers to stand guard and set up arbitration offices to maintain public order and resolve disputes.

In fact, many foreigners came, although they received gifts, but not because they were preparing to take the opportunity to make a deal. Especially the Karmalans. When Spain occupied Northern Taiwan, they fought with them many times. When they learned that the Spanish castle was seized, they were invited.

Many days later, the conference was finally held.

Liu Jun did not say much nonsense, but took a lot of practical actions to bring these foreigners into the control of the court.

Liu Jun enthroned the leaders of the villages and communities of various tribes and villages, and formally granted them the governance power that originally belonged to them through the hands of the court, allowing them to govern on behalf of the court. Liu Jun awarded them official seals, issued them official robes, and also gave them rattan sticks and long swords representing the leader.

Liu Jun also asked the leaders and elders of various tribes and villages to agree that the court would send teachers and doctors to each village and community in the future to set up schools and clinics to help their children study and treat their illnesses. In addition, a shop will be set up in each village to be responsible for purchasing various goods and local products from each village and community, and at the same time, some commodities such as saltbabupi are directly transported from the port to the shops of each village and community to facilitate their transactions.

This truly visible convenience and benefits dispelled the vigilance of the leaders and elders. Liu Jun was willing to send warmth in this way, so naturally, to go deep into the villages and communities of all ethnic groups and grasp their refreshing truth and reality. Liu Jun also asked the villages and communities to set up Baojia and establish village soldiers and militia groups, so that they could go to Jilong Port for training every year in their spare time.

In addition, Liu Jun also took out money and grain to let the tribes and villages work to prepare for the construction of a road between Jilong Port and Tamsui City and tribes.

Of course, the most important thing for this conference is to register households. After agreeing on the boundaries of each tribe, village and community, sign and seal the boundaries of each tribe, village and community, and then register the population of each village and community, and be appointed as local officials, and establish township soldiers.

In this way, these indigenous people, even if they were formally registered as households and citizens of the Ming Dynasty, were real people of the Ming Dynasty, rather than being transformed into outlying people.

"Is it necessary to be so troublesome?" Xiong Wencan said, "It's just a group of savages."

Liu Jun shook his head and said, "If we just want to build a temporary commercial port here like the Spanish, then it doesn't matter what we do. But we want to incorporate Taiwan into the actual rule of the Ming Empire, so we naturally have to get along with these foreign people, especially if we have to immigrate here in the future, so we need to establish a relationship with them in advance."

"What's more, it's good for us to do this. Taiwan is not a desert island, but a treasure island. It produces gold, sulfur, deer skin, etc. There are still many Taiwanese people. There are more than 200 villages and communities invited this time alone, with a population of less than 100,000. The population itself is a big fortune."

This time, Liu Jun established Keelung Prefecture in northern Taiwan, centered on Jilong Port, with three counties under Tamsui, Keelung and Yilan. There are 15 townships under the three counties, with a total of 100 villages in the countryside and a village under the community, which are divided into layers.

After the conference, Liu Jun left a battalion to guard two former Spanish cities renamed Keelung and Tamsui, and asked them to continue to strengthen the port fortifications. Zheng Zhilong also left 500 people to guard, and they would wait for the imperial court to send civil servants to serve as local officials.

After replenishing fresh water and food gunpowder, Liu Jun left more than a thousand Spanish to the left-behind soldiers and then officially set sail and left the port.

The fleet continued to move south and headed towards Penghu.

At this time, Tainan was the city of Relief Lan on the island of the Dutch stronghold.

Dutch Taiwan Chief De Baoer already knew that the Ming Dynasty sent a fleet to attack the north of Taiwan and had seized the Spanish fortress and stronghold, and the Spanish had surrendered without fighting.

It is said that there were more than 300 Ming fleets attacking Northern Taiwan. They moved from north to south and were strong.

When Debaoer learned that Zheng Zhilong, who had defeated them two times, also led the warship in that fleet, and that fleet was led by the adopted son of the Ming emperor, he was extremely shocked.

"Now now the meeting of senior officials!"

After the Dutch occupied Tainan, the senior officials were the chief officials, and the highest officials were the chief officials, and the highest administration in Taiwan was in charge of the senior officials. The Dutch of the senior officials held meetings of senior officials, and the members were senior officials of the East India Company, and the chief officials of the Taiwan department served as the chairman of the meeting.

At the temporary meeting of senior officials, Debaoer informed everyone of the latest military information.

"Let's discuss how to deal with it?"

"What's the point of discussing this? Just fight. If the Ming people think we are as weak as Spain, then let them taste our power."

Paul Duradousi, who was in charge of military affairs at the Dutch East India Company, slapped the table and shouted, "One Nikola was just one of our translators. He used tricks to win us once or twice, and he really thought he was better than us. It was just a blessing to win once or twice at sea, but he actually wanted to attack the senior. Did he think our senior's fortress was being watched?"

"And our fleet. After the last battle with Zheng Yiguan failed, Batavia transferred another squadron to come. There were ten joint fleets nearby that we and the British blocked the South China Sea. When they were transferred, we had ten Garen warships, and ten armed merchant ships, plus more than fifty light cruisers. The one who dared to come was seeking death!" (To be continued.)
