Koshinka's Battle to Take Taiwan

A lot of the impetus came from someone called Kurtingbing, who was a translator for the Dutch. This guy is famous for basically playing both sides off of each other and for milking both sides for everything that he could get. He encouraged Koshinka to pick Taiwan as the new base, telling Koshinka that Taiwan was a great fertile land. It'll be a cakewalk. Just sail your ships over there.
