Chapter 142 Chiayi Speech
Seeing greatness in the ordinary is what Eunuch Wei is doing.
People can be illiterate, but they cannot be illiterate.
Although Xue Jinzhong is just a small "handkerchief", what does it mean that he can go out of the palace to do a heterodynamic? It means that there are people above others, otherwise people can get the good thing about this heterodynamic?
Therefore, my father-in-law must give people enough respect. He respects not only Xue Jinzhong, but also Xue Jinzhong. Who can guarantee that the person behind Xue Jinzhong will not become a big man one day? Who dares to say that Xue Jinzhong will not become a red eunuch?
People cannot behave like a person, and they cannot look down on others.
Gao Qiqian is not going to sweep the streets in the palace now!
Now, will Pang Tianshou not look at the gate in Nanjing?
Now, will the second uncle be honest in the East Palace?
Be careful to gain the world, but be careless and lose Jingzhou.
Therefore, my father-in-law does not think that he is self-destructive. In the big picture, he is called investing and showing kindness, and in the small picture, he does not offend others. Only when the world is in full and in place can his father-in-law have a deep foundation.
Chen Yourong returned from Taipei, which was the headquarters of the Emperor's personal army commander and commander office chosen by Eunuch Wei himself, so it is called Taipei Guard in the army.
The joint fleet stationed in Keelung Port in Taipei Harbour. Keelung Port was originally called Chicken Loong by locals. Eunuch Wei thought the name was not good and specially changed it to Keelung Port.
In addition to the Taipei Guard, there are also Taichung and Tainan Guards, collectively known as the Three Guards of Taiwan, which are governed by the Emperor's personal army commander. Under the three guards are thirteen thousand household offices, including Keelung, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Yilan, Yunlin, Chiayi, and Taitung.
It was originally planned that Taiwan was unified by the Taiwan Security Division, but on the one hand, the Taiwan Security Division had not yet been replenished, so it was difficult to occupy Taiwan alone and maintain public security in the occupied areas; on the other hand, Fujian and Zhejiang were also eyeing Taiwan, and it was impossible for Eunuch Wei to eat Taiwan alone.
Therefore, in line with the principle of "shelfing disputes and jointly developing", Eunuch Wei made a quick decision, and the Taipei Guard was jointly managed by the Taiwan Guard Division and the Joint Fleet; the Taichung Guard was handed over to the Fujian side to take over; the Tainan Guard was under the Taiwan Guard Division.
Zhejiang and Fujian are satisfied with this plan. Zhejiang originally wanted northern Taiwan as a trade base. As long as it could obtain profits from maritime trade, it was not very interested in immigrating to Taiwan.
Fujian has the weakest strength among the three companies. Now it can occupy a seat in the joint fleet and obtain a territory equivalent to several counties in Taichung. It is a very cost-effective thing for Fujian Governor Huang Chengxuan, so he has never opposed it.
The deputy commander-in-chief of the Joint Fleet and the Admiral of the Fujian Navy, Hou Anzhi, had secretly ordered the Fujian Navy in Zhongzuo Institute and the Yunlin Qianhu Institute, Taichung Guard, to open a landing site to gather local Han people and indigenous peoples so that Fujian's next immigration work will be carried out.
The Imperial Army and the Joint Fleet have only set up several strongholds in Taipei, Chiayi and other places, and have not sent large-scale troops to the hinterland of Taiwan. However, the Han people and indigenous people who landed were welcomed by the arrival of the Ming army.
Compared with the Imperial Army and Zhejiang officers and soldiers, Fujian officers and soldiers received more support from local Han people because they said the same thing.
My father-in-law called it Minnan.
There was a situation that attracted the attention of my father-in-law. According to local Han people and close indigenous people, not all indigenous people on the island welcomed the arrival of the Ming army, but on the contrary, most of them were hostile.
These indigenous people were very primitive and almost savage. Some tribes had the habit of being able to eat people and scalp, and were very barbaric. Their population was also more than Han people and Kaihua indigenous people. Some large societies could even dispatch thousands of people at a time when tribes fought. It can be said that men, women, young and old were soldiers.
Therefore, even though the history of Fujian people immigrating to Taiwan has been over a hundred years, until now, the scale of immigration is only more than 100,000, and it is scattered all over the coast.
The reason is that as long as the Han people go deep into the island, they will be attacked by savages. The disadvantages and dispersion of the Han people make it difficult for them to fight against thousands of savages. Over the years, savages will often go down the mountain to capture Han people as slaves, destroy the land reclaimed by the Han people, and forcibly rob their crops.
The dispute between the local and Han people has existed since the day the Han people came to the island. Because of the disadvantages in terms of numbers and the lack of support from the government, the Han people can only try their best to avoid going deeper.
This is also why the Han people on the island almost unconditionally support the arrival of officers and soldiers. The Han people hope that the officers and soldiers can help them deal with the savages, so that they can develop the fertile fields occupied by the savages but do not know how to cultivate them.
After learning about these situations, Eunuch Wei realized that his previous thoughts were a bit unilateral. When he was inspecting the vicinity of Chiayi, he emphasized to the accompanying officials and generals:
"It seems that our family was wrong in the past. If we Han people want to go deep into the inland of this treasure island to develop, farm, and harvest crops and sugarcane, they will inevitably have fierce conflicts with those conservative, stubborn, and uncivilized indigenous peoples.
Our officials must recognize this point and must not have illusions. We want to include Taiwan in our territory of Emperor Ming. This is not as simple as treating guests to dinner, but we have to use a knife!
Just use the knife. We can see that there is nothing wrong with it. We must use our strength to deal with those backward and stupid tribes. In this way, they can understand the strength of our Ming Dynasty and submit to our Ming Dynasty rule!"
Eunuch Wei further pointed out that the conflict between the Chinese and Chinese in Taiwan is actually a conflict between advanced civilization and backward civilization. If you want to maintain the superiority of advanced civilization, you must ruthlessly attack the backward civilization. If there is kindness and fantasy, and what virtue is to be conquered, then the ultimate destruction of advanced civilization is advanced civilization.
"A backward civilization cannot be actually said to be civilization, it should be said to be a bad custom! Can our imperial army bow to the bad custom? No!"
The spirit of Chiayi's speech was quickly sorted out by the base camp for the joint fleet and the Ming Dynasty Army to study. Subsequently, the Guards Division was ordered to draw two brigades of officers and soldiers to assist the Taiwan Security Division in the development of Taipei and Tainan.
The specific plan was that Eunuch Wei had already written the question book, one was given to the Emperor's Imperial Book, and the other was given to the uncle Zheng Guotai Mansion.
After all, the nominal commander of the Emperor Ming Dynasty was Zheng Guotai. Although this kid has not set out to go south until now, the command and personnel power of the Emperor's personal army were firmly held in his hands by Eunuch Wei, the eunuch Wei, the military supervisor, after all, he is the younger brother-in-law of the concubine, and he is also the brother-in-law of Eunuch Wei. Therefore, in terms of love and personal feelings, his father-in-law must give his brother-in-law enough respect and decency.
Of course, my father-in-law didn't want my brother-in-law to come to Taiwan. Even if my brother-in-law is more aware of his identity, his identity is destined to affect the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army, so it would be better to be honest in Beijing by commander.
