Yang Chao followed Zheng Zhilong in those years to get some money, returned to Nan'an hometown to build a squire. /p

At this time, because of Li Chengdong anyway, Zheng was successfully forced to retreat to Golden Gate Xiamen, and finally could not retreat to Taiwan.At this time, Taiwan is not as densely populated as described in the Deer Ding, and the time of Taiwan's real development is the end of the Qing Dynasty.During this period, Taiwan was native to /p the entire island except for more than 10,000 people in Tainan.

Zheng successfully retreated to Taiwan and there was no way to leave, and hundreds of thousands of people still had to eat, when Zheng successfully sent people back home to find the old brother of his former father to help, including one Yang. /p

Zheng successfully found them very simple, that is, the need for food supplies, or do not have to wait for anything to counterattack the mainland, directly in Taiwan will starve to death. /p

Yang Dynasty originally thought that Zheng Zhilong was scattered after the team was cleared, and did not expect that Zheng Damu had this spirit, and the rest of Zheng Zhilong was compiled, and the Dutch people in Taiwan were expelled and occupied Taiwan. /p

Yang Chao did not want to be involved with Zheng success, after all, Yang Dynasty is more than 40 years old, many years of sea life on his body damage, he is ready to retire at home.But the old brothers will starve to death, regardless of the real heart can not be too sad, no Yang Dynasty can only take the risk again, began to the Golden Gate Xiamen smuggling food, salt and other materials. /p

In the first few years, because Zhu Hongsan also successfully fought together, the inspection was not strict.However, with the failure of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Zhu Hongsan occupied the whole country, and the management of smuggling ships along the coast of Fujian was increasing.Yang Chao also knew that Zheng's success and failure was the general trend, but he had been rolled here, and it was difficult to get out again. /p

Today, the Yang Dynasty is sitting idle at home in Quanzhou City, and the outsiders are reporting, and the master of the province is invited! /p

Yang Chao listened to his heart sighed, two years ago, the court increased the intensity of inventory and smuggling, this king asked for more and more money. /p

But the Yang Dynasty is no longer powerful or can not fight the official government, not to mention the Yang Dynasty now has no anger at the sea to fight for the mind, the family wife concubine, son and daughter a lot of people, they want to run. /p

There was no way for Yang Chao to inform the account, and took out a five thousand silver bill and went out to the city. /p

Entering the gate of Quanzhou Province, Yang Chao learned that the master of the city was waiting for himself in the back room.Yang Chao heard that it was a stop, Yang Dynasty himself was a pirate, the government was a sergeant, although he did not send money to the house, but the master of Zhifu Xin still looked down on the Yang Dynasty in his heart.In the past, gifts were located in the second hall of the gate, not even a cup of tea, today I don't know how to let yourself go to the backyard study? /p

To know that those intellectuals pay attention to the ascension of the mother, is to let you into the back of the house, to introduce your wife and children to you, this is the world to do this, Yang Dynasty was made by the Zhifu some monks are confused. /p

Yang Chao was led by his family to the backyard study, and Zhifu Xin put on a civilian suit and was sitting in the study waiting. /p

Xin self-reproach saw Yang Chao coming and quickly stood up and came to the door to greet him: "Brother Yang, please come in!"Come, tea, and use this year's new red robe!" /p

Yang Chao listened to Xin self-repair so that he was really flattered, before coming when they were tea foam, I did not expect today on the big red robe. /p

Yang Chao did not dare to have any excessive thoughts, although Xin self-cultivation was so good to him, but the etiquette must have. /p

Yang Chao fell on his knees and said, “The grassman Yang worships his old parents!” /p

"Get up, Brother Yang is a gentleman from Quanzhou, please get up!"He quickly raised his hands to lift Yang. /p

Yang Chao himself knew that although he had a gentleman's hat, but this identity was bought entirely with money, as for learning, it was even more to blow the fire on the side of the cane. /p

After Yang Chao got up, he took out the silver dollar bill in his arms and put it in front of Xin self-repair and said, “Old parents, this is small and careful, not respectful!” /p

Xin self-cultivation smiled and waved his hand to let the family take the silver ticket off.Xin self-cultivation is from the four products of the province, the annual wages are full of 3,200 silver dollars, although there is no way to see the five thousand silver dollars, but who can still like the money to bite the hand is not! /p

“Dad, you don’t have to spend so much money!I hope your work is over too!” /p

Yang Chao listened to Xin's self-repair so surprised, he thought that the court to increase the intensity of inspection and smuggling, Taiwan, Kinmen, Xiamen, these three places are more than 300,000 people, all food depends on the mainland, if you really can not transport food, then these people will starve to death. /p

Yang Zhao was anxious and hurried to stand up and ask, “Old parents, is the court going to the sea forbid?” /p

Xin self-replicating saw Yang Chao look like a smile: "Sister Yang, this is not the case."In November last year, Gui Zhenzhu, who was in Yunnan, had been captured alive, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command had either died or surrendered.Secondly, the main thing is that Zhu Yuxuan gave the emperor's superior book to his majesty, and admitted that his majesty was the emperor's orthodoxy.Is Taiwan's Zheng success not the mainstay of laurel?Now his master has surrendered, and he is fast.”

Yang Chao listened to Xin self-repair and then put his heart down, but immediately the heart raised it again, Zhu Yuxuan finished the next is Taiwan's turn? /p

Yang Chao asked cautiously, “Old parents, since Gui is finished, will the court use troops against Taiwan?”

Xin self-cultivated and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang is right, no matter which emperor can never allow an extrajudicial place."However, Brother Yang is assured that His Majesty the Emperor of Shenwu is clearly rewarded and punished, and the King of Yanping County had the ability to break the enemy in Nanjing, and for the sake of the great cause of the country, he was able to draw a line with Zheng Zhilong in time, and these emperors knew that his majesty wanted to peacefully resolve the Taiwan issue, which would be annoying to Yang's brother!"

Yang Chao listened to Xin's self-cultivation so that he took a breath, and then patted his chest and said, "Adults, rest assured, there is some relationship between the grass people and Taiwan, what needs to be arranged by the grass-house people!"This is the true words of the Yang Dynasty, in recent years, Fujian Taiping, Yang Dynasty hands and silver, very comfortable days, Yang Dynasty also do not want to return to the past that kind of knife licking blood days. /p

Xin self-replicating heard Yang Chao so laugh: "This is going to trouble the Yang brothers, here is a letter, written by the official, please Yang brother to find an opportunity to send over!"Brother Yang rest assured that as long as things are done, according to the merits of the Yang brothers, they will be able to seal an official position, and the old man will call the Yang brothers as colleagues!" /p

Yang Chao was poignant with a compliment of self-cultivation, and this official position was absolutely attractive to him.At that time, Zheng Zhilong crossed the seven seas, with more than 30,000 soldiers and thousands of warships.This strength when the court gave him a five-pin guerrilla general position, Zheng Zhilong went to Quanzhou to report ass.Now Yang Chao listens to himself to seal up, which is a great thing for Guangzong Yaozu. /p

Yang Chao fell to his knees excitedly and said, "Please rest assured that the grass people will send the letter and convince Zheng to successfully fall!" /p

Yang Chao said excited, but Xin self-cultivation did not put to heart, he is a mature bureaucrat, naturally understand where this kind of important a letter to do things.However, seeing that the enthusiasm of the Yang Dynasty was so high, Xin's self-cultivation did not hit him well, so he had to help him up and motivate him with language. /p

"Well, Brother Yang, this is a letter, take it with you!"I’m here waiting for your good news!”

Yang Chao took the letter of the master of the city, rushed out of the door with great interest, and returned to his home to arrange a boat immediately to prepare for Xiamen. /p

Although Zheng successfully went to Taiwan, most of his strength remained in Kinmen Xiamen Second Island, Jinxia Second Island is located on the seaside, the sand is great, especially the Jinmen Island, facing the Taiwan Strait, the sea breeze every time set off sand and dust to the mainland, constantly swallowing the field.Therefore, the field on Kinmen Island has a large sand content, and the harvest of rice cultivation is not high, since the introduction of sweet potatoes, the islanders have grown a lot of sweet potatoes for food, and the food shortage has eased slightly.As for Xiamen Island, although rice can be grown, due to the limited supply of fresh water, the islanders mostly rely on fishing for their /p lives.

Xiamen Bay between Golden Gate and Xiamen is an excellent seaport.In the early Ming Dynasty, the court built a military fortress on Xiamen Island, stationed in the center and left of Yongningwei. /p

The rise of Xiamen Port at the end of the Ming and early Qing Dynasty is actually the inevitable result of the development of the monthly port and the port of Anping.Xiamen is located at the junction of Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, very close to the port of Anping and the port of Yue, and the port conditions are far better than the above two ports.Therefore, the development of the monthly port and the port of Anping will inevitably lead to the rise of Xiamen Port. /p

Xiamen Port replaces the monthly port at the end of the city.The port of the moon was first known as a smuggling port, but its navigation conditions were not good.In the late Ming Dynasty, due to the silt silting port brought by the Kowloon River, large ships could not enter the port directly, but could only be moored on the outskirts of the port and brought into the port by small ships. /p

In addition to the port, the cities around Xiamen Bay in the Ming Dynasty are Quanzhou Capital City, Zhangzhou Capital City and Tong'an City, all of which are large cities with large populations, and it can be said that Anping Port, Moon Port and Xiamen Port are all serving these three cities.By the end of the Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, the coastal city of Fujian was destroyed by war, Quanzhou City under the control of the Qing army, and was repeatedly attacked by Zhengsheng Army, and the Zhangzhou capital was besieged by Zhengsheng Army, and the death toll is said to be 100,000.As for Tong'an City, there was a massacre of the Qing army, and more than 50,000 people were killed. /p

In the tug-of-war that lasted for many years, all urban residents were looking for a world of safety, at this time Xiamen Island was successfully under Zheng's long-term control, and it was difficult for the Qing army to come here, so Xiamen became a place for coastal residents to take refuge, and tens of thousands of people came into Xiamen, making Xiamen grow from a town to an important city. /p

At present, there are tens of thousands of people on Xiamen Island, plus the army, merchants, and craftsmen, there are more than 100,000 people.There is also Kinmen Island, where there are tens of thousands of Zheng's successful army.But now these people do not listen to Zheng's successful command, stationed here will be Zheng's successful brother Zheng Lian, but also Zhu Yujun personally sealed Ding Yuanbo. /p
