Zhao Ming got off the boat, and Wang Dana and others greeted him.

"Governor!" Everyone stepped forward and saluted quickly, with joy on their faces.

At this time, everyone's ideas were actually nervous about coming to Taiwan, feeling that they were exiled, on the edge, and staying away from the world.

When Zhao Ming came to Taiwan, they were naturally happy.

In fact, everyone doesn’t quite understand. Zhao Ming manages Taiwan as the foundation and actually attaches great importance to Taiwan.

If you manage Taiwan well, he can advance or retreat in the future.

Then Britain is not much bigger than Taiwan, but it can dominate the world and dominate the world for hundreds of years. Mr. Zhao may not be able to do something big.

At this time, Zhao Ming was ready to build Taiwan into his own rear. He just left the army and some craftsmen in Zhoushan, and almost all his family members were transported to Taiwan.

The population of the island is about 700,000, and it is composed of seven guards, distributed along the west coast of Taiwan. From north to south, it is Tamsui, Taipei, Nanxi, Taoyuan, Zhuqian, Xingang, and Miaoli.

Each of these seven guards has about 10,000 households, and there are about 100,000 people, which is actually equivalent to a county.

Zhao Ming came to Taiwan to expand his colonial life by using the garrison method. Only when the people were farmers and soldiers could they gain a foothold in Taiwan.

From early 1646 to July 1647, Zhao Ming kept sending people to the island and had established a large colonization area in northwestern Taiwan.

The northeast of the Tuoqing District is bounded by Tamsui Creek, the southwest coast is Zhao Ming's Tuoqing District, and the northeast is a Spanish colony.

The south is bounded by Dajia River, the Han colonization area is located in the north, and the Dabai Kingdom established by the indigenous tribes of Taiwan to the south.

To the west of the Tuoqing District is the sea and to the east are the snow-capped mountains, which is the territory of Shengfan.

The area occupied by Zhao Ming now is probably the vast area south of Taipei, north of Taichung, Hualien, and west of Keelung.

The entire Taiwan island is now divided, with the Spaniards occupying northeastern Taiwan, the Dutch occupying the south, the Big Bow Kingdom occupying the central, and Zhao Ming occupying the northwest. In addition, there are many Shengfan tribes, occupying the Central Mountains, Snow Mountains, Ali Mountains and other places.

Taiwan Island can now be said to be a Warring States Period.

When Zhao Ming saw everyone coming to greet him, he smiled and punched Wang Dana, "It's hard to breed, but I didn't see you thin!"

Wang Dana followed Zhao Ming for a while. He used to be the chief banner officer of the Huotou Camp and was not good at fighting, so he was not left in Zhoushan to command the war soldiers, but was sent to Wang Taiwan to manage the garrison.

Wang Dana scratched his head and said, "The Governor doesn't know that in addition to the humid and hot climate, there are many mosquitoes, snakes and rats, this island is actually rich in resources. There are many wild fruits in the forest, birds and animals, and there are several fishing grounds near the sea. In addition, the land is fertile, so life will be easy as long as you adapt to the climate."

"It's better to live a good life!" Zhao Ming nodded with a smile, then said, "But, since life is so easy, why don't you confiscate much food?"

Zhao Ming came here this time mainly to check the situation of Taiwan's colonization and urged all the guards to open up more wasteland and have more food to solve the problem of shortage of materials.

Wang Dana and others all showed an angry expression on their faces after hearing Zhao Ming's words.

"Governor, this is all blame for the Western barbarians!" Wang Dana gritted his teeth.

"Not bad!" Yang Wenqi, the assistant of Tamsui Guard, said with resentment: "Governor, we come to the island to farm, work hard to burn wasteland, cultivate land, sow and irrigate, and take care of it carefully, so that we can get the harvest. These harvests are all our hard-working income, and we are worthy of the world. However, those Western barbarians do not work, but want to get it for nothing, rob the grain we planted, ask us to pay taxes for them, and plunder our garrison households and act as slaves for them! What is this? It's shameless!"

Zhao Ming saw him spitting and cursing, and knew that the sergeant was angry with the Spanish.

Most of the Western barbarians are like this, selfish and arrogant, and even claim to be just.

These Baifans rely on colonial plunder, and did not know how many people they killed and injured, enjoyed the wealth brought by bloody accumulation to act as civilized people, and formulated rules that were beneficial to them. If they wanted to enslave and exploit others forever, they were actually barbaric robbers at heart.

Wang Dana said annoyedly: "Governor, the Western barbarians always attacked us. At the end of last year, Beiyi gathered 20,000 troops to drive them away, but he surrounded the Western barbarians for three months, but suffered heavy losses and had to retreat!"

Zhao Ming read the report that the Spanish, who were trying to drive away the chicken coop, launched a counterattack, but was blocked outside the city by the Spanish bastion.

Although there were many soldiers in the garrison, they had no way to use the bastion. In the end, not only did they give up the attack, but they also lost seven thousand households on the east bank of Tamsui and lost a large area of ​​cultivated fertile land.

After hearing this, Zhao Ming's face darkened. The robbers of the Western Barbarians were indeed disgusting. It seems that if you want to develop in Taiwan, you must solve the Western Barbarians.

At this time, Zhao Ming comforted everyone, expressed his intention to deal with the Spaniards, and asked, "Where is Mr. Xu?"

Zhao Ming asked Xu Fuyuan, the assistant secretary of the official department, who was sent to Taiwan to manage military farming matters.

"The Western Yi crossed the Tamsui River and destroyed several of our villages. Mr. Xu handled this matter in the Acropolis!" Wang Dana said.

Zhao Ming had a calm face and immediately ordered: "I brought you a batch of oxen and farm tools from Zhoushan. You can arrange for someone to unload it and take good care of it."

"Receive the order!" Wang Dana hurriedly bowed and clasped his fists.

He immediately arranged for the two to be responsible for unloading the goods, and Zhao Ming said, "Go away, take my supervisor to the Acropolis to take a look."

Zhao Ming ordered Ding Weiyue to arrange for the guards to get off the boat, but he rode his horse and ran towards the acropolis surrounded by Wang Dana and others.

Tamsui Wei is a David, with more than 13,000 households and a population of more than 110,000, which is barely considered a top-class county.

In areas where there were no wars, there might be dozens of people in a family without separation, and hundreds of people were in a family, but Zhao Ming was asked to separate the family. In addition, the war caused the family to be separated, so there were only a dozen people in a family.

Tamsui Wei has a population of more than 100,000, but the population is all in the military farms and spreads in all fields, so Tamsui Acropolis is not big, not even brick and stone buildings, but just earthen walls and wooden fences enclose an area.

Because Taiwan has just developed, it lacks supplies and a single economy, and there is no commercial population in the Acropolis, only officials from the garrison, various warehouses, and a small number of relatives.

When Zhao Ming came to the Acropolis, the officials and residents in the Acropolis had already received news. Officials, soldiers and relatives flocked to the city gate and stood on both sides to welcome Zhao Ming to the arrival. The atmosphere was extremely warm.

Zhao Ming was surrounded by stars like a moonlit up in front of the Acropolis official hall. He turned around, looked at the faces full of respect and support for him, waved his hand, and the crowd immediately calmed down.

"Everyone comes to Taiwan to expand the colonial area and provide military rations for the front line. Thank you for your hard work!" Zhao Ming said loudly, glanced at everyone, and then said in a solemn voice: "I heard that the Western Barbarians often attack you. This time, I will take you to throw the Western Barbarians into the sea!"

The generals cheered together, "The governor is mighty and throws the Western Yi into the sea!"
