Because of the Netherlands' concession, Xia's march to Taiwan was uneventful and without any changes.
After Zuo Hua left a small number of troops on the Penghu Islands, the large army crossed the last sea area and finally arrived at the city of Prominja.
This place has another name that is even more famous in later history.
That is Chikan Tower.
This was also the center of Zheng's rule in Taiwan, located in Tainan City in later generations.
The Dutch people here had already received the notice, packed their luggage, and waited dejectedly to move out.
Putmans was the governor of Taiwan at this time. He, Gong Duan, Zuo Hua, and under the witness of Lu Guangzhai and Anthony van Diemen completed the handover of power.
Everything went well and both parties were very satisfied.
The official began to perform his duties and expressed goodwill to the Dutch as soon as he came up.
"Mr. Diemen, General Putmans, although your country has returned Taiwan to us, based on the relationship between you and us, if there are Dutch people who are willing to continue to settle here, we wholeheartedly welcome them. As long as they are like the Xia people Just abide by the law."
Anthony van Diemen and Putmans were very pleased with this goodwill and hurriedly went to spread the word among the Dutch.
Sure enough, many Dutch people chose to stay.
These people risked crossing the ocean to come here and worked hard for a long time to save some family property. Once you leave, all your previous efforts will be in vain.
Since staying can keep your wealth and there is no danger, naturally you don't want to leave.
The public goodwill paid off.
Putmans explained to him in detail the Dutch governance in Taiwan.
Although it has been more than ten years since the Netherlands landed in Taiwan, the real conquest began in the eighth year of Chongzhen.
The Dutch used strong force to force the local indigenous people to sign the Madou Agreement.
If Zuo Mengeng knew this, he would definitely scold him...
This agreement is not serious!
But the Entente helped the Dutch stabilize their rule in southern Taiwan.
According to the treaty, the Dutch were lords and the indigenous people were vassals.
The Dutch maintained the relationship between the two parties by holding regular local meetings. And appointed Aboriginal chiefs to establish the formal leaders of Aboriginal society to assist the Dutch in implementing the decree.
Over the past few years, the relationship between the two parties has become increasingly close.
Now the Dutch regime is withdrawing from Taiwan and handing the system over to Xia Guo.
Representatives of indigenous people from all over the country came to the city of Prominja and met the new lord with fear.
But seeing that they were Han people made them feel a little more at ease.
After all, the Han people have immigrated to Taiwan for a long time, and there are many exchanges between the aboriginal people on the island and the Han people. Knowing that the Han people have a relatively gentle temperament, there is no need to worry about encountering a disaster.
"How you got along with the Dutch in the past, your relationship will remain the same in the future. Of course, the trade market here will be completely open to you. Whatever you want to sell, you can come here. The officials here will also help You set the price to avoid being deceived by profiteers. If you have difficulty living in the mountains, you can also settle on the plains. If you want to farm, the government will send people to teach you. Your children can also go to schools in the city. Don’t worry, just like Han Chinese children, there are no fees.”
Gong Duan said a lot eloquently, which surprised and delighted the aborigines.
Happily, the dominance relationship they had adapted to remained unchanged. This way there will be no turmoil and everyone can live in peace and contentment.
Surprisingly, the new lord turned out to be thousands of times better than the Dutch.
When the Dutch ruled here in the past, they often forced the indigenous people to perform various labors, including building the city of Prominja. In addition, they also levied heavy taxes on the indigenous peoples and forcibly purchased their furs and grains at low prices.
As a result, the new lord completely changed these.
They even allowed their children to read and write.
The aborigines are just a little behind in productivity and a little narrow-minded, but that doesn't mean they are stupid.
Especially since I have met so many outsiders and seen many new and powerful things, I certainly know what is good.
However, those who came here in the past, whether they were Han Chinese or Dutch, despised them and only regarded them as objects of slavery.
The slightest dissatisfaction and resistance from the indigenous people will be brutally suppressed.
Some indigenous people who could not bear the oppression had no choice but to move to the mountains. Life is becoming more and more difficult, and we are drifting further and further away from civilized society.
Xia Guo's tolerance gave them hope of living a good life.
After these aboriginal representatives returned, they immediately carried out extensive publicity.
All the aborigines are suspicious, fearing that there is some conspiracy. After final discussion, it was decided to send a small group of people to Prominja City to test it out.
As a result, the furs, medicinal materials and other goods they carried were sold to merchants from Fujian at very reasonable prices by Xia officials under the city.
Not only that, when these aborigines expressed the hope that the money they earned could be exchanged for salt, cloth and other supplies necessary for daily life, Xia officials also set reasonable prices.
The aborigines used the same money to buy more things than before. They were really happy and had a personal experience of the new regime.
With a good start, the indigenous people gradually began to accept the existence of Xia Kingdom.
They have done a good job in taking over territory and stabilizing the indigenous people.
Xia Guo established a foothold in southern Taiwan from the beginning.
It was not until this time that Zuo Hua sent people to find the Zheng family's forces on Taiwan Island and convey his intention to appease them.
He Bin, who served as an interpreter for the Dutch, took the initiative to take on this task.
He Bin had a very close relationship with the Zheng family, and because he was with the Dutch, he understood the entire war between the Xia Kingdom and the Zheng family.
He has a clear understanding of the power of Xia State.
He was afraid that the Zheng family's power on the island of Taiwan would be indiscriminate, so he chose to carry it forward and suffer disaster.
The leader of the Zheng family on the island of Taiwan is named Guo Huaiyi.
This person is not only an aborigine on the island of Taiwan, but also one of the Eighteen Zhi.
However, unlike other leaders who traveled across the sea and made a living as pirates, Guo Huaiyi was mainly active on land. He led the Han people who immigrated to cultivate and manage the land, and had already occupied a huge territory.
"This is a letter from an official to you. The Xia army has now landed in Taiwan and will be coming soon. The Xia Kingdom is very tolerant and treats the people well, and will not steal your wealth. As long as you surrender sincerely, you will be able to do so from now on. Continue to live and work in peace and contentment here.”
He Bin handed Zheng Zhilong's letter to Guo Huaiyi.
The leaders of the island gathered together and began to discuss nervously.
