The Spanish colonists took the lead and occupied the northern part of the Eastern Vatican to conduct trade and colonize.

Then, the Dutch Red Hair, known as the sea coachman, did not know that there was the existence of Dongfan Island. After capturing Penghu, they wanted to get involved in Fujian.

At the beginning, the number of red-haired people was small, and the battlefield was on land. They were beaten by the Ming army and beaten to the ground for teeth searching.

Of course, Hongmao was unwilling to give up, so he dispatched troops and actively prepared for the war. In the end, a naval battle between the two sides broke out in Liaoluo Bay. The Ming Dynasty used 200 military ships and nearly 10,000 troops to deal with thirteen Dutch warships and more than 900 soldiers. Isn’t this a huge gap in strength?

But the result was that both sides suffered losses. The problem was that this time it was a naval battle. The Ming army's artillery was too different.

The Ming army suffered heavy losses, but the red hair had the upper hand and was isolated and helpless.

As a result, both sides realized that they could not fight anymore. After negotiations, the Dutch, under the guidance of Ming Dynasty officials, agreed to retreat to the south of the East Vanguard.

The Ming Dynasty's plan was called driving tigers and swallowing wolves, and letting the red-haired fight against the pirates and Spaniards on the island. Unfortunately, history has proved that this is a foolish move.

After that, the Netherlands defeated the original landlord Spaniards, occupied the south, inherited the Spaniards' facilities on the island, and carried out development.

As the Dutch continued to grow, the Zheng Zhilong Pirate Group directly threatened the north of the island. The two sides had head-on conflicts many times due to maritime interests.

In the early days, due to the small number of people in the Netherlands, Zheng Zhilong also had an advantage.

However, as the number of Dutch people and warships gradually increased, Zheng Zhilong felt more and more that he could not sing alone.

Therefore, after two years of confrontation with the Dutch, Zheng Zhilong took the initiative to write a letter to the Ming court, willing to "extinguish the barbarian bandits and suppress the thieves", surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and was granted the title by the court, allowing him to develop his power in Fujian.

Five years later, Zheng Zhilong, who was actively preparing for the war, finally defeated the Netherlands in the Battle of Kinmen. From then on, "the sea atmosphere was calm, and foreign goods were sold all under the banner of Zheng" and grasped the trade hegemony of the East China Sea.

But the Dutch still occupied the southern part of the East Vanguard, and the main interests of its East India Company were still west of Malacca at that time, so they did not mobilize the navy to come to the east to fight Zheng Zhilong, and the two sides were in peace.

Until last year, the three major navy under Wu Zhengyi, together with Zheng Sen's navy, worked together to retreat the "Jifan Combined Fleet" mainly composed of the Dutch, and forced the Dutch to recognize the sovereignty of the Jianxin Dynasty over the Eastern Vandalism with overwhelming military advantage.

Of course, as a "rewarding favor", Wu Zheng allowed the Dutch to continue to have vested interests and sustainable development in the southern part of the Eastern Vatican.

In fact, at this time, Wu Zheng had every reason to send a government official to the East Fan to open the palace.

But Wu Zheng was unwilling to do so, and there were two reasons. First, it was that it was indeed unable to control the Dongfan. Then, it was necessary to completely clear and deprive the Dutch of its vested interests. If it was not available on the battlefield, it would not be possible at the negotiating table. But at the moment, Wu Zheng was unable to turn around and engage in two-sided battles. Since it was difficult to solve, it would be better to let go and decide the sovereignty first, and then slowly consume it until it could be sank. Second, the Zheng family had been operating in the northern part of the Dongfan for decades, and had a great power. Moreover, Zheng Sen was doing great efforts with the "Jifan Joint Fleet" after all, and suffered a lot of losses.

Wu Zheng also considered the influence of the "Huangming Shixu" on the monarchs and ministers of the Jianxin Dynasty. At this time, it was proposed that ruling the Eastern Vast was lacking legal basis. After all, the General's Mansion was nominally affiliated with the Jianxin Dynasty.

Therefore, Wu Zheng "generously" gave the entire Dongfan Island to Zheng Sen in return.

Zheng Sen is affiliated with the Yongli Dynasty, which is also a court under the Ming Dynasty.

This is equivalent to Wu Zheng throwing a hot potato to Yongli, and let Zhu Youlang go and worry for the time being.

....

But Wu Zheng did not see Zheng Sen this time.

Zheng Sen avoided it.

That's right, he was defeated by Wu Zheng twice, and this tone made Zheng Sen very depressed.

So he used this method of not being able to get on the table to respond to Wu Zheng's relatively "high-profile".

Wu Zheng "traveled" to Zheng Sen in Kinmen. In this way, Zheng Sen was only the King of Yanping of the Yongli Dynasty, while Wu Zheng was the King of Wu. The difference of one word was quite large. Although it was two dynasties, whether it was the Yongli Dynasty or the Jianxin Dynasty, they were nominally under the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Sen had to pass it on, but he held his breath again, so he called him sick, seriously ill, so he couldn't get up.

However, the lineup of Yanping Prince’s Mansion is relatively compliant.

Zheng Sen's twelve-year-old son Zheng Jing had become the prince at this time. He and his uncle Zheng Xi, who was Zheng Sen's fifth brother, came to Kinmen to meet Wu Zheng.

The accompanying staff included Zheng Sen's subordinates Huang Zhao, Xiao Gongchen and others, so naturally Chen Yonghua was indispensable.

Logically speaking, this is not something that cannot be overcome.

After all, the two belong to two dynasties, but why did Wu Zheng come?

If you can't see Zheng Sen, who will you talk to?

So Wu Zheng did not meet Zheng Jing, Zheng Xi and others, but summoned Chen Yonghua to see him alone.

....

"Foreign minister Chen Yonghua paid homage to His Highness the King of Wu..."

Chen Yonghua, who is only in his prime now, makes Wu Zheng feel a sense of vicissitudes. It seems that Chen Yonghua's life is not easy after the Battle of Tanhu Mountain.

Speaking of this, there are some reasons for Wu Zheng. When Wu Zheng navy and the "Jifan Joint Fleet" were in a stalemate in Tanhu Mountain and were in danger, Chen Yonghua insisted on advising Zheng Sen to reinforce Wu Zheng.

But when he arrived, he won, and the Zheng family navy suffered heavy casualties. Although Wu Zheng was not stingy, he replenished most of the captured enemy ships, but the seafarers' losses could not be replenished in time.

This also caused Zheng Sen to severely deal with the "Zhufan Combined Fleet" in the Kinmen Sea area.

The chain reaction caused was that Wu Zheng and Li Dingguo joined forces to put pressure on Zheng Sen, forcing Zheng Sen to leave the southeastern base of Fujian and come to the north of Dongfan Island.

Zheng Sen must be unwilling to accept it, but the situation is strong and he has no choice.

The army and the remnants of the navy came to the north of Dongfan Island. But the problem is that the two largest cities in the north of Dongfan Island, Santo Domingo City (now Tamsui area, also known as Fort Antoni), and San Salvador City (now Keelung), were built by the Spaniards more than 20 years ago. After the Dutch Redmao and the Ming army fought against the Lieluo Bay, they retreated to the Dongfan and used the remnants of the Navy to make the Spanish run away in a panic. From then on, they took over the two Spanish cities and repaired and consolidated them.

After the Dutch took over, they renamed Santo Domingo Castle to Fort Antony and built forts and various fortifications in the two castles. It can be said that the northern part of the East Fan Island was basically controlled under these two castles.

Therefore, on the surface, the Dutch compromised and recognized the sovereignty of the Jianxin Dynasty over the Dongfan Island. But in fact, the north and south of the Dongfan Island are still under the actual control of the Hongmao, and even Zheng Sen's father's original pirate base was included.
