Since the decline of Spain and Portugal, the Netherlands has replaced them as the hegemon of the sea, with tracks across the oceans and control important nodes on major shipping lanes and shipping lanes.

From the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch appeared in Southeast Asia for the spice trade.

Trade is a process of trading with each other, and at this time the West has nothing to use for exchange, especially in the Netherlands.

They wanted spices and had to exchange other things for the indigenous people, and the Dutch and even the Westerners had no products that the world needed.

To get spices, the Dutch have only two ways, one is to steal directly, one is to expand trade with China, get the silk fabrics and porcelain that the world needs for exchange.

In order to trade with China, the Dutch tried to obtain channels of trade with China, successively provoked the war in Penghu and Jinluo Bay, with the intention of using force to coerce China to open the market, but they were defeated by the Ming Army.

After the First World War, the Netherlands was a lot honest, but took advantage of the opportunity of the inner and outer worries of the Ming Dynasty to steal Taiwan, so in the important place of the Bay of the Great, built two fortresses with stones for each other, called Chikanburg on land, and the name of Zelliabao on a porch.

In recent years, the opening up of the maritime trade policy in Nanming has made the status of the generals rise within the East India Company, and hundreds of sea ships have gathered in the bay.

In the chamber of the castle, the parliamentarians of the East India Company were discussing round-table.

The sitting parliamentarians showed two different emotions, the Dutch from Batavia, the face of the uplifting color, and the Taiwanese commentators, but also remember more than a decade ago, the Luowan Sea Battle, jealous of the strength of the Zheng family, the face of concern.

At this time, the governor of Taiwan, Ferburg, looked at the crowd and stood up, "I think the company is too impulsive in dealing with China."The Zheng family is strong at sea, and we should not provoke them.”

Kawu, commander of the fleet from Batavia, stood up in the face of accusations, "Your excellency, you must know that His Majesty the Emperor of Wei, not only received the representatives of the company, but also received the emissaries of Spain and Portugal, and whoever can help Wei, can obtain the priority of trade in Wei."Do you know how much of a benefit this will bring to the company?If you are not willing to do this in the Taiwan Review Council, we in Batavia are willing to do it, and the benefits the company has received from Wei Guo at that time, it will have nothing to do with the Taiwan Senate.”

“No, no, no, no, no, no.”“Trade with China is the responsibility of the Taiwan Senate, and the benefits obtained from China naturally belong to the Taiwan Senate.”

He said, “Okay, I’ll take back what I just said!”

The trade priority given by Gao Yiyi is too tempting, of course, Gao Yicai is not only for the Dutch, he also said so to the Spaniards.

Gowu saw this, and sat back, "Your Excellency the Governor has finally made a wise decision.In fact, everyone can now see that the internal struggle of the Chinese people must be won by Wei, and the Ming Kingdom will become the past.”

The members of the parliament on the side took one, supporting Kawu: "The family of Zheng Yiguan has been divided, and now is the time for the Zheng family to be weak."The company helps Wei Guo to sign agreements with Wei, and can destroy the Zheng family with the help of Wei.The infighting of the Chinese is equivalent to the self-break arm, there is no Zheng family at sea, which is the world of our company, and may be able to coerce Wei Guo to obtain the right to exclusive trade and monopolize China's maritime trade."

The Dutch, known as the sea coachman, do what they do is sell goods and monopolize China's trade, which is the Dutch dream of doing.

With a greedy look in the eyes of the crowd, Ferburg sat down again and slowed down: “Well, since most of the members of the parliament agree, I have no opinion.But I have received the news that Zheng Sen's fleet is gathering in Xiamen, and we must beware of the revenge of the Ming Kingdom."

Kawu smiled: "The Zheng family has no place except for many people and ships."Their ships were not as good as the company's gunboats, the men were far away from China, and there were forts to cooperate, and as long as they did not let them ashore, they could not take us.When the Wei army swept away the Ming army on the land, the Zheng family was naturally finished.At that time, the company will replace the Zheng family and become the hegemon of the South China Sea and the East China Sea.”

"The terrain of the bay is complex, and the entrance to the harbor is only two, which is divided into two channels in the north and south."The southern channel can only pass between one of the clamps and the tail island of the northern line, and we built the Zellangiabao on our body, and as long as the ship blocked the channel, and then the heavy artillery on the Zellanja Fort cooperation, Zheng's water division will not come in.The northern channel between the northern route and the deer earmen, compared with the southern channel mouth wide water depth, the ship is easy to enter, but the northern channel is narrow, only through small boats, and there are too many reefs, the route is complex, we put 200 Dutch soldiers on the northern line island, we can prevent Zheng's ships from entering from there.

He said with a smile: "As long as the Zheng family's ship is not allowed to enter the bay, the Zheng family's boat has nowhere to hide from the wind and waves, a storm will come, and they can be eliminated!"

The Dutch around the round table, listening to a word, are relieved.

Taiwan, formerly known as the Great Ryukyu, began to rule Taiwan in the name of the Central Plains Dynasty from the Eastern Wu period, but the real development of Taiwan is the end of the Ming Dynasty.

This development is not dominated by the official government, but Zheng Zhilong, who was Haiko, set up a banner and a handsome flag in Taiwan, recruited half a million people to develop Taiwan, and turned Taiwan into a base for his plundering and smuggling.

Later, Zheng Zhilong was recruited by the Ming Dynasty, and Zheng Zhilong went to Fujian, but most of these people stayed on Taiwan Island and established a village.

After the arrival of the Dutch, these villages were ruled by the Dutch, and the villagers repeatedly revolted, and were brutally suppressed by the Dutch.

Chen Zilong led the soldiers and horses, came to Xiamen and Zheng successfully confluenced, Zheng successfully did not immediately cross the sea attack, but has been waiting, just when Chen Zilong was impatient, Zheng successfully found him, told him that he could cross the sea.

Attacking Taiwan, in addition to relying on manpower, but also rely on intelligence, look at the sky, these days Zheng success is not doing nothing, but waiting for the island should send back information, waiting for the day to come.

On July 20, Zheng successfully sacrificed the sea in Gulangyu, and then led three gunboats, thousands of large and small sea ships, and 20,000 soldiers and soldiers, starting from Xiamen, replenished some fresh water in Penghu, and went straight to the Bay of the General.

At night, the moon is rare, the sea is shining, a huge fleet, outside the Bay of the People, the ships are stacked, like a moving Montenegro.

In Zheng successfully boarded the ship, Zheng successfully stood at the bow of the ship and calmly ordered, "Ganhui blocked the southern channel to prevent the red hair from escaping, and the rest of the warship directly from the Deer Ear Gate into the Bay of the People!"
