Listening to Zheng Hongkui's detailed introduction, Zheng Chenggong's brows were twisted into the word "chuan". He had to admit that those red and barbarians were really dedicated to Taiwan. The cities they built were not only carefully selected, but also easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In the original history, Zheng Chenggong actually did not capture the largest stronghold of the Dutch. He relied on the siege and forced them to surrender after the Dutch had run out of ammunition and food.

After Zheng Hongkui's introduction, he took his eyes off the map and looked at Zheng Chenggong and said, "This He Bin is indeed a key figure. Even if the others are not going well, as long as he devotes his life to attack the Taiwanese Red Barbarians, the difficulty can be greatly reduced."

As he said this, he pointed to the Luermen Channel and said, "The Hongyi thought this place was a natural danger, so there were no heavy troops to guard it. However, according to He Bin, he heard from the fishermen that it was actually a big ship that could be passed through when the tide was rising. In case of precaution, I have asked him to verify it again. There is absolutely no mistake in this matter!"

Zheng Chenggong nodded when he heard this, his expression was very serious. This was the first time he personally directed a war. His inner importance and tension were not worthy of being told by outsiders.

Zheng Hongkui actually knew this. He also wanted to help his nephew fight this first battle. Therefore, after introducing these, he said to Zheng Chenggong: "Of course, this combat readiness is being prepared, but the way of taking wisdom is also being prepared. If He Bin verified that the Taiwanese red barbarians had not yet learned about the news from Japan, it was Nagasaki red barbarians who were privately committed and had not reported here, they might be able to lure those red barbarians out with tricks."

From the beginning, they set two methods to prepare for the war with all their might and also consider ways to take advantage of wisdom.

However, the Red and Yi have always been cunning. Communication with the Ming Dynasty, or the Zheng family, was done by He Bin and others who were doing business. As for themselves, they would never leave Taiwan, or at least not come to the mainland coast.

In the past, they were brave and looked down on the Ming Dynasty. They drove a warship to show off their power. As a result, they were dealt with by Zheng Zhilong. This was the famous Battle of Liaoluo Bay, which completely scared these red barbarians, so they did not dare to come.

At this time, after hearing Zheng Hongkui's words, Zheng Chenggong nodded and said, "Then, based on the detailed understanding of the Red and Barbarian military situation, we can gradually restrict merchant ships from going to Taiwan, right?"

"Yes!" Zheng Hongkui nodded and said, "Follow the previous plan to make the red barbarians anxious first, and we will decide according to the situation."

So, in the next few days, Zheng Chenggong and others continued to be busy with these things.

The good news came soon. He Bin not only provided more specific military information for the two cities of the Red and Barbarians, such as the allocation of troops, firepower conditions, etc. They may not be very concerned about these things in normal times, but now they have to target them specifically, which will naturally be clearer.

In addition, the news about the Luermen channel was also discovered by He Bin on the spot. It was said that when the tide was high, especially when the tide was on the first day of the first day and the sixteenth tide, big boats and small boats could pass through. The Red Yi originally sent some troops to guard this natural dangerous garrison, but it was blown down due to a typhoon. The Red Yi felt that there was no problem here, so he did not build it and all the troops were withdrawn.

These are all good news, which made Zheng Chenggong and others very excited. While stepping up preparations, they also accelerated the number of merchant ships to Taiwan.

…………

The Dutch Governor's Office in Taiwan, Kalong, who had just arrived for more than a year, was originally very happy. Under his wise command, he finally wiped out the indigenous people of Xiao Liuqiu and hung their heads outside the city to show their public, intimidating others who dared to be dissatisfied with the Netherlands.

However, these days, he suddenly found that the merchant ships coming to Taiwan were slowly decreasing. At first, he thought it was the cause of the storm, so he didn't care.

However, later, he found that the number of merchant ships coming to Taiwan not only did not rebound, but instead decreased, so he began to get nervous and upset. After all, without trade means that profits will be reduced. The East India Company is not a vegetarian, and without profit means that he, the governor, is incompetent.

He was walking in the lobby with his brows frowning, and suddenly heard footsteps coming. He quickly turned around and looked at it. Seeing that He Tongshi, who was sent to summon him, he immediately shouted: "You, do you know why there are fewer and fewer merchant ships coming to Taiwan during this period?"

Of course He Bin knew the reason, but he would definitely not say this reason. Therefore, he used the reasons he had discussed with Zheng Hongkui in advance and said: "Governor General, the villain speculated that it might have something to do with the Fujian Navy preparing to be transferred to North Korea for war? Recently, this matter has become more special!"

Of course, Jialong is also an informant on the mainland. He had known before that the Fujian Navy was gathering troops to prepare to go to North Korea. He was originally secretly happy. If the Fujian Navy left and the Portuguese were no match for their Dutch in the nearby waters, it would finally be their Dutch's turn to be the boss.

Before, seeing the Zheng family collecting protection fees and getting rich, not only Jialong, but also his ex, saliva was so envious. He had no chance before, but now he has the chance, how could he not covet it? Therefore, he wished that the Fujian Navy would get out early.

In fact, Nagasaki's Red Barbarians had similar ideas to him. He thought that he could unite with Japan, kill the Zheng family, and achieve the Dutch's dream of dominating the maritime protection fee, so he made the wrong choice.

However, what Jialong didn't expect was that the Fujian Navy had not left yet, but the adverse impact on Taiwan was first revealed.

At this time, when he heard He Bin's explanation, Jia Long immediately frowned and said, "When you go to Xiamen, which new coastal defense guerrilla guerrilla is, the son of Zheng Yiguan, and ask what the situation is?"

When He Bin heard this, he felt happy. He could send the message to him and, by the way, he could see Zheng Zhilong's son. Therefore, he immediately agreed and showed an expression of anxious expression, which made Jialong's impression of He Bin always have a good impression.

During the period when He Bin left, Jialong took into account the influence of the decrease in merchant ships during this period, in order to make up for the profits during this period, he ordered the increase in taxes on the indigenous people of Taiwan.

As a result, the Taiwanese natives were of course unhappy. However, when they saw the heads of Xiao Liuqiu residents hanging in rows, no one dared to resist because of the power of the red and barbarians. They could only dare not speak out, and after paying the money, they would be bitten by a dog.

However, even so, if the merchant ships are getting fewer and fewer, Jialong understands that the little money he collected can not make up for the losses of the merchant ships at all, so he has never been happy, worried about profits and his own future.

On this day, he finally heard the report of He Tongshi seeking a meeting outside, and he walked out with a rare strode to greet He Bin at the door.

As soon as he saw it, Jialong couldn't wait to ask: "But have you heard any news? Why are there fewer and fewer merchant ships?"

Seeing his impatient appearance, He Bin laughed in his heart, but he replied respectfully on the surface: "Governor General, there are fewer and fewer merchant ships, which is indeed related to the Fujian Navy..."

Hearing this, Jialong was very dissatisfied. Isn’t this nonsense? So he immediately asked, “What’s the reason?”

"Governor General, it is the new Fujian coastal defense guerrilla commander that no merchant ship is allowed to go out to sea to do business after he leads his troops to leave Fujian." He Bin replied immediately.

Jia Long was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but ask, "Why is this?"

"The coastal defense guerrillas believe that if they go out to sea to do business during this period, they will inevitably greatly increase their requirements for going to sea when they come back from North Korea. Then some of the losses during this period can be made up."

"This... what's this?" Jia Long couldn't help but get angry when he heard this. He walked angrily into the Governor's Mansion while continuing to vent his anger, "I didn't expect that Zheng Yiguan's son was so greedy for money. He could still think of such tricks. Are you crazy?"

He Bin, who was following him, then agreed, "Yes, he was crazy about money! The villain once suggested that although the Fujian Navy was transferred to North Korea, the Zheng family would always leave some people here, and those people would collect the money. It would be the same. Why do you need to force those merchants not to go out to sea!"

Hearing this, Jia Long stopped, turned around and looked at He Bin, and asked with expectation: "Yes, how did Zheng Yiguan's son reply to you?"

"Oh!" He Bin sighed, and then said, "I'm not at ease when I get the coastal defense guerrillas. I say that there are too few people left here and it will not be a deterrent to us, I'm afraid that we will rob them of money!"

It’s true that, just like the Dutch style, once the Fujian navy leaves, they may do that. After all, the protection fee will be lenient.

Therefore, after hearing this, Jialong was a little stunned. After coming to his senses, he couldn't help but feel a little angry: "Why is this son of Zheng Yiguan so cute!"

Speaking of this, he looked at He Bin and said to him: "Go and tell him, just say I can swear to God that I will never do such a thing."

"Go back to Governor!" He Bin answered immediately, "The villain said that, but he didn't believe it, and said... say..."

"What did you say?" Jialong asked a little annoyed when he heard this.

He Bin did not hesitate when he heard the question and immediately said, "He said that dogs can still change their food..."

Speaking of this, he saw Jialong's face turned blue in an instant, and he was happy in his heart, and continued, "It is even more impossible to believe it without any silence. I won't let the villain mention this matter again."

When Jialong heard this, he turned around and strode into it.
