Since the Eastern Wu fleet visited Yizhou, the Central Plains dynasty began to rule Taiwan Island, but this rule only stayed in name and did not establish direct rule in Taiwan.

For a long time, Taiwan Island belonged to local natives and also to the rich men on the sea.

The real development of Taiwan Island began with Zheng Zhilong. When he was a pirate in his early years, he recruited more than 500,000 people to farm in the southern part of Taiwan Island to meet his needs, which led to the emergence of some villages in Tainan and the living environment was gradually transformed.

After Zheng Zhilong was ordered by the court, he left Taiwan, which had relatively poor conditions, and went to Fujian to be an official and enjoy the welfare. The people who stayed on the Taiwan Island military farm lost their shelter and were gradually ruled by the Dutch, and Tainan became a Dutch colony.

Taiwan Island is vast, equivalent to half of Fujian. Since the Central Plains dynasty did not establish direct rule, under the power vacuum, various forces were occupied on the island.

At the southern end of the island, it is a colony of the Dutch East India Company, a maritime powerhouse. On the western part of the island, it is the Big Belly Kingdom established by the Massic Francisco of Taidao. In the eastern mountains of Taidao, there are uncountable and fierce and fierce tribes of Shengdao, and the northern part of Taidao is a stronghold established by the Spanish.

The original situation in Taiwan was in a temporary balance, and neither party had the strength to completely control the island. The two sides had a lot of friction, but no major conflict occurred.

However, Zhao Ming developed Taiwan and expanded the colonization, but broke the peace on the island.

At this time, the Zhejiang Commander Command had sent more than 200,000 people to the northern part of Taiwan and established a large colonial stronghold along the coastline.

In the northern part of Taiwan, the Spanish were originally in the sphere of influence. The influx of 200,000 Han people would naturally make the Spaniards feel uneasy. They were worried that the Han people would occupy their strongholds, so they imagined slaughtering the Han people as they did in Manila to prevent the Han people from replacing their rule in northern Taiwan.

Shortly after the first batch of households landed, the Spaniards had already discovered it, but at this time they did not attract attention, but were a little happy.

Decades ago, in order to break through the Dutch trade blockade against Manila, the Spaniards sent troops to Keelung and gradually conquered Northern Taiwan.

However, the Spanish were unable to expel the Dutch, and the northern Taiwan was not developed, and the colonization income was not enough to maintain the cost of the garrison. Instead, Manila had to subsidize the operation of Northern Taiwan.

After Spain slaughtered China in Manila, Manila's economy declined, and the Spaniards could only reduce Keelung's garrison, giving the Dutch an opportunity to capture Keelung a few years ago and destroy Spanish strongholds.

At this time, the Dutch were severely injured by Zhao Ming, and the Spaniards urgently needed to trade with China to get out the silver flowers dug from the Americas, so they occupied the Keelung area again.

When they saw the Chinese landing, Spain was very happy at first. They could not beat the Dutch on the island of Taiwan. One of the big reasons was that there were hundreds of thousands of Chinese in Tainan. The Dutch obtained food and supplies from them, while in Taipei, there were only primeval forests and the feudal vassals that chopped people's heads at any time.

Now that the Chinese are coming, the Spanish are very happy and are ready to use the Chinese to develop Taipei, and then colonize these Chinese like the Dutch.

But the Dutch did not expect that the Chinese went to the island very quickly. If they were not careful, more than 100,000 people came, which made the Spanish unable to sit still.

The Spaniards were very conflicted with China. On the one hand, they hoped that the Chinese would come and prosper in Taipei so that they could obtain taxes and food. On the other hand, they were afraid that the Chinese would come too much and affect their rule.

At this time, as the Chinese increase, the Spanish undoubtedly felt threatened.

In the Spanish Governor of Keelung, he sent personnel to the village of the garrison to collect taxes. After being driven out by the garrison, both sides officially broke up and the Spanish began to attack the Ming army's garrison.

After fighting with the Dutch, the station troops of the Zhejiang Commander Command fought with the Dutch and local local people in northern Taiwan.

At present, the Ming army guards occupy the Tamsui Basin and Taipei, while Spain controls the vicinity of the chicken cage, and the friction continues to escalate.

Spain also used its means in Luzon to incite local people to attack the garrison and burn the Ming army's strongholds, causing great losses to the garrison.

~~~~~~~

When Zhang Yi reached Taiwan and saw the conflict between the garrison troops and the local people in Spain, the Ming army on the Zhoushan Islands had set sail after two months of reorganization and training, and arrived at the Chongming Shazhou.

After the reorganization, Zhao Ming had five soldiers and guards, totaling more than 28,000 people.

Nearly 30,000 people are equivalent to a soldier, but Zhao Ming's strength is actually equivalent to Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing.

After the assessment of these nearly 30,000 soldiers, there were only more than 3,000 soldiers who were rated as sharp men, and most of them were medium and inferior soldiers. There were only 320 soldiers of the top, and the rest were 6,000 soldiers and a large number of baggage soldiers.

In the ninth level, the personal combat power of the top-class soldiers is probably the same as that of the Manchu soldiers, while the combat power of the garrison soldiers is similar to that of the elite green camp soldiers such as Liu Liangzuo. As for the baggage soldiers, they can only be compared with ordinary green camps.

From this point of view, in terms of strength, Zhao Ming is still far from that of the Qing Dynasty.

Fortunately, he was not the only one of the anti-Qing forces. The Qing army could not use all the elite soldiers to deal with him, and he did not need to take the initiative to find elite Qing soldiers to fight. He could rely on the advantage of maritime maneuvers to find the weaknesses of the Qing army and launch an attack.

At this time, on the other side of Chongming Island, on the edge of the Yangtze River in Songjiang Prefecture, a team of cavalrymen were running, leading two people, one wearing red armor and an iron helmet and a lightning rod on his head, which was the Mandahai who had just taken over military affairs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the other wearing a black official robe and a straw hat on his head was Hong Chengchou.

Mandahai and Hong Chengchou stood on the shore, took out the thousand-mile mirrors and observed the Chongming Water Village on the other side.

On the surface of the river, seven huge three-masted gunships were cruising on the surface of the river with their might. Warships gathered in the water village, with masts like forests, with seven or eight hundred large warships.

"Zhao Manzi brought a lot of people!" Mandahai frowned and put down the Qianli Jing.

When Hong Chengchou heard the sound, he also took the Qianli Miles Miles and said in a deep voice: "According to the scouts, more than 15,000 people from the sea and land came from Zhoushan. In addition to the original bandit army in Chongming Shazhou, Zhao Tiebang gathered more than 20,000 troops here!"

Zhao Ming did not come out in this operation. First, it was inconvenient to mobilize Wang Yi from Siming Mountain. Second, after the reorganization, some people still need to be trained, and they also need to stay troops to guard against the glory of the horses and guard the Zhoushan Islands.

Mandahai pondered and nodded, "Twenty thousand thieves can break through most county towns in half a day. Once Zhao Manzi enters the Yangtze River, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "Don't worry, since Zhao Tiebang entered the Yangtze River last year, our hall has built forts in Langshan, Fushan, Jingjiang, Yangzhong, Guazhou and other places, arranged artillery, and blocked the river surface. This time he wanted to enter the Yangtze River again, which would not be easy."
