Win the Ding 1617

Yang Sichang didn't know that after Zhang Kentang ordered someone to send this letter to Yang Dadu, who was the first to hand over the coastal defense affairs of Nanzhili, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces to Li Shouhan, Zhang Kentang could only sit in a lonely city and spend every day. Rili watched as the air roots from the branches of the banyan tree in the yard approached the ground little by little, and then took root in the moist soil, and then grew into a branch of the huge banyan tree.

"Ah! The country's misfortune is due to the disaster of weak stems and strong branches!"

On February 13th of the [-]th year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xiaohu, the left wing commander of the Southern Guangdong Army Navy, used nearly [-] large and small gunboats and nearly [-] sailors on the grounds of protecting Ryukyu, Fusang, Folangji and other places from infringement. , drove into the water of the Minjiang River in a mighty way.

For a while, the Minjiang River was full of white sails.The residents along the way, the boatmen in the river, and the fishermen on both sides of the river worshiped one after another. They could see clearly that there were probably hundreds of cannons on this large gunboat that almost crossed the river?

This huge fleet drove the ship straight into Mawei Port on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Minjiang River, which is only more than [-] miles away from the mouth of the Minjiang River.

The fleet sailed all the way westward like the rising tide of the sea pouring into the Minjiang River. At Chuanshi Island, Nangui Island, Jiadengli (today's Langqi Island), Qianyu, Guoyu, Xiaoyu, etc., it branched out into small tributaries. Send personnel to carry artillery to set up artillery positions on these key points, build camps, and block off sections of the Minjiang River.

In the eighth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1580), Jiadeng Haiqu Li was changed to Jiadeng Li, Hepu North Li was changed to Jiangyou Li (now Tingjiang), and Hepu South Li was changed to Jiangzuoli (now Min'an).Anren Township Yongsheng North Lane was changed to Yongbei Lane (now Mawei).

In the tenth year of Chenghua (1474) of Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, the Shibo Department moved from Quanzhou to Fuzhou, and Ryukyu merchants went to Rongzhou via Mawei, and the status of Mawei Port became more prominent.This area is where the three rivers Wulongjiang, Bailongjiang and Qinjiang meet. The three rivers flow into the East China Sea from Min'an Town and Changmen.Linjiang faces Changle City across the river to the southeast, Guantou Town, Lianjiang County to the northeast, and Guling Township, Jin'an District to the west, which is the center of the so-called river-sea waterway.From Mawei to Fuzhou Wanshou Bridge is the inland waterway of Minjiang River, and from Mawei to the mouth of Minjiang River is the waterway leading to the sea.

When Zhang Xiaohu's flagship Three-Headed Tiger's iconic golden three-headed tiger aroused the praise of merchants and porters and coolies on the pier of Mawei Port, he himself had already set up the fleet for the fleet at Mawei's Tianhou Temple and Sea God Temple. Xing Yuan.

"Assemble small ships with less than [-] guns. Continue westward along the river until you reach the Wanshou Bridge in Fuzhou City, patrolling back and forth to prevent treacherous villains from taking the opportunity to make trouble. Disturbing the village and ruining the reputation and rules of our Daming Ship Division After the big ship rests at the ponytail for a while, replenish food, water, vegetables, etc., and wait for orders to attack!"

After setting up the missions of the fleet, it is natural for the officers to implement them one by one. It doesn't bother him, Commander Zhang, to do the same.

He nodded to a captain and handed him a document.

"After your ship arrives at the Wanshou Bridge, take a trip to Fuzhou City. This is the official document of the master's public relations and defense. I ordered the governor of Fujian to come here to discuss matters related to coastal defense in Fujian! There must be no mistake!"

Same official document.Zhang Xiaohu ordered people to deliver a copy to each of the prefectures and counties near Fuzhou, and the officers and soldiers stationed in various places were the key targets.

"It's up to them whether they come or not. If they don't come, the commander will treat them as disobedient and suspected of colluding with pirates. Disarm and reorganize their troops!"

Although there is a strict order to guard the Han Dynasty, he is not allowed to enter Fuzhou City, but Zhang Xiaohu, who is good at exploiting loopholes, keenly discovered that the order did not say that the governor of Fujian was not allowed to go out of the city to meet, nor did he say that he would not be allowed to deal with Fujian locals who did not obey the order. Those officers and soldiers like soft-legged shrimps.

As a result, the local Fujian officers and soldiers under Zheng Zhilong's command were far inferior to those in various places.Not to dare to stroke Xiaohu's beard, one by one obediently went to Mawei's Tianhou Temple and Sea God Temple, and handed Zhang Xiaohu the manuscript for reference, vaguely admitting that Zhang Xiaohu, the left-wing commander of the navy, was their boss It's mediocre!

In this way, Zhang Kentang, Governor Zhang Da, in Fujian City, was in a situation where the tree fell and the monkeys scattered.Although the Southern Guangdong Army strictly abided by the military order, except for a few purchasers who brought a large number of silver coins and Tongbao into the city to purchase supplies, no soldiers entered the city.

However, the civil and military officials who couldn't stand Fuzhou went to the sea god temple to pay money and express their loyalty to the Southern Guangdong Army like crucian carp crossing the river.

Unknowingly.Fuzhou in the east, Shantou in the west, Zhang Xiaohu, Chu Tianlei, Li Huamei, and Zuo Tianpeng, the right-wing commander of the navy, held Zheng Zhilong's navy firmly in the sea of ​​Jinxia like a huge pliers.

"It's over, I'm afraid Zongbing Zheng's naval fleet is in danger."

Although it is difficult for government orders to come out of the Yamen Office, there is no interruption of internal and external traffic news. Hearing this news, Zhang Kentang couldn't help but drop the wolf hair in Zhang Kentang's hand on the snow-white rice paper, and a ball of ink quickly blurred on the rice paper, leaving a large A piece of black.

"My lord, Commander Zhang of the navy heard that you are not feeling well, so he sent someone to send two thousand silver dollars, saying it is a gift for you."

The housekeeper at the door reported the situation to Zhang Kentang in the native dialect of Songjiang Mansion quickly and urgently.

In order to preserve the dignity of the court officials, Zhang Kentang did not dare to offend Zhang Xiaohu who had thousands of cannons outside the city, so he told Zhang Xiaohu that he was sick.But Zhang Xiaohu didn't want to go down the slope and sent him a condolence money.

Didn't you say you were sick?I will send you money!

"Master, please show me how to deal with this gift money?"

To take or not to take, that is the question.

Although Zheng Zhilong usually gave a lot of gold and silver, he never dropped two thousand silver dollars for a mere visit.If you just push it out, not to mention the loss of money, I'm afraid I will offend others!

"There is no such thing as a gift! Take my name card, go to Mawei to meet Commander Zhang, and say that I still have some minor health problems. After I recover, I will meet with him to discuss the plan of coastal defense!"

With the help of Brother Kong Fang and Marshal Zhao Gong's incomparably powerful weapons, Master Zhang Kentang and Commander Zhang Xiaohu met and talked happily. As for the establishment of a unified command organization, Mr. Zhang Kentang advised the Southern Guangdong Army and provided many valuable opinions.

It is said that when the two adults talked about each other outside of official business, they turned out to be members of the same clan.So excited, the two simply joined the clan.Therefore, Zhang Xiaohu, the former pirate leader and now the naval commander of the Southern Guangdong Army, openly met with the governor of Fujian, Mr. Zhang, who was born as a Jinshi.Become brothers of the same clan.Of course, these things have to be reported to Li Shouhan and the office for the record, otherwise, those guys from the Law Enforcement Office and the Investigation Office with ears longer than rabbits will come to make trouble.

Under the mediation of everyone in Fujian official circles headed by Zhang Kentang.Zheng Zhilong is willing to discuss peace talks with the Southern Guangdong Army.

"Father, do we really want to negotiate peace with the Zheng family?"

Outside the port of Quanzhou, Li Huayu was worried about Shou Han, who was watching with great interest the post about Taiwan's reclamation that he handed in after Shuai's case.

Shou Han turned a deaf ear to his son's worries, and just focused all his attention on the post reported by Li Huayu.

This post can be said to be Li Huayu's summary and report on his work in Taiwan over the past year.

After years of accumulation, in Taipei and Hsinchu, there are already over [-] Han immigrant settlements.With the deepening of a large number of Han immigrants, it is inevitable that language, labor technology, and commodities will gradually be brought to the Gaoshan people in the deep mountains and dense forests.

The Gaoshan people who originally only used small knives, short hoes (still wooden) and wood instead of hoes in agricultural production began to gradually "use ox carts and plows for farming, the same as the Han people." In their own folk songs middle.It even sang the lyrics of "cultivating in time and asking for rain". Among the village communities, there are changes of "farming diligently, saving money, and being richer than households", and village communities such as Bengshan and Houlong.What’s more, “cultivation plows and rakes and other tools are the same as those of the Han people in the interior.” Villages in Pingpu and other places also imitated the labor methods and production tools of the Han people.The Gaoshan people near Fengshan on the South Road have also learned the importance of timely cultivation, transplanting and weeding.And the Gaoshan people who live near traffic arteries, water and land piers, and prefectural and county cities are even more "familiar with the city, and their residence is courteous."

Where there is a need, there will be a market.On the ships traveling between Taiwan Island and Chaozhou, Nanzhong and other places, there are all carrying a large number of metal tools and cloth.Metal products are needed by Han immigrants and Gaoshan people in farming and life, while cloth, salt and other items are the necessities of life.During the contact activities with the Han people, the Gaoshan people in the north and south of Taiwan traded their local products, such as deerskin, velvet antler, gold sand, camphor, etc., with the Han people in exchange for metal tools, cloth and salt.In particular, the Gaoshan people in the North Road traded cloth with the Han people, changed the clothing habits of men and women with more deerskins, and used more deerskins to exchange items with Han traders.

The Gaoshan people exchanged the collected sulfur with Han traders for cloth and other things, a basket of sulfur collected from the mountains.It can be exchanged for about seven feet of cloth. This price makes the Gaoshan people very excited. These things that are usually useless in the mountains can be exchanged for such exquisite cotton cloth!Not only cotton cloth, but also knives, axes, hoes, plow sticks, pots and pans, etc.

actually.The types of trade are not limited to sulfur. The mountain people in the northern mountainous area even paddled their scorpions (very familiar?) along the rushing river, carrying deerskin, antler, dried venison, water, etc. Rattan, grass and other things were traded in villages close to the Han people.The merchants of the Han nationality, on the other hand, rowed the same scorpion, braved the danger of the ship capsizing, went upstream, and proceeded cautiously in the rapids and dangerous shoals to the villages of the Gaoshan nationality for trading activities.

These are just a microcosm of Li Huayu's business and trade activities before he took office.

After Li Huayu served as the commander of the Taiwan Guard, the trade activities between Han immigrants and Gaoshan aborigines took a big step forward.

The Shuisha Lianshe area in Changhua area produces tea. Huayu ordered people to trade with the local mountain people with ironware, and exchanged ironware for the tea on their mountain. Apart from drinking it by themselves, more of it was with Folang who traveled to and from the Taiwan Strait. Robots trade.

In the area of ​​Langqiao Eighteenth Community in the Fengshan area of ​​South Road, the mountain people simply traded iron and gunpowder with Han traders to catch deer.The Gaoshan people in the Duoluoman area carry the raw gold that they dug and smelted, and go to chicken coops, fresh water and other places to buy various commodities from Han merchants, from cloth to ironware, covering a wide range and generously. Eye-popping.

"Father?"

Seeing that Shou Han remained silent and just read the thick post, Li Huayu reminded Shou Han in a low voice, trying to get Shou Han's attention.

"Hua Yu, you have done a good job for more than a year!" Shou Han gave his son a very high evaluation.

"As you said above, how is the matter of choosing rivers to build water conservancy in various parts of Taiwan, how is it going?"

Shou Han tapped a paragraph of text on the post leisurely with his fingers, looking at his son's young face with joy in his eyes.

The construction of water conservancy in Taiwan is probably for the purpose of irrigating the reclaimed wasteland.As for the form, it is nothing more than the joint construction of the village and the people, the joint construction of the government and the people, and the joint construction of the Fan and the people.There are four forms such as tenant joint construction.

The basic social unit of the Gaoshan nationality is the she, while the unit of the Han immigrants is the village.The joint construction of the village and the people and the joint construction of the tenants are characterized by the local people's investment and effort. The small water conservancy built is mainly for the field irrigation of the village and the water supply for people and animals. A river basin is under construction, and Zhuang and Fan people nearby can enjoy the benefits of this water conservancy project and can work on the construction site.Come earn your own wages.

The small water conservancy built by the Fanmin was built by the joint efforts of the Han and Gaoshan people to benefit the people of the two ethnic groups.

"Fanzibei in Chiayi, Taliwu Town in Taliwushe, Yunlin, and Shuijiantou Town near Tamsui Zhilan Fort were all built by Fan people, and the government gave some money and grain subsidies. They were leased. Some tools and gunpowder were provided for them. After the construction was completed, it could irrigate tens of thousands of acres of fertile fields nearby. When my son set off from Taiwan, Fanmin from several villages in Xinshe jointly submitted a petition requesting the construction of the Jiuxionglin River Basin. Xinpizhen is used to irrigate the nearby fertile fields. My son has approved [-] picks, [-] barrels of gunpowder, and [-] shi of grain for them as an official allowance, and sent people to Hsinchu and other places to guide them. This water well is the first one built by Fanmin independently, so my son must pay attention to it. After the new water well is built, it can irrigate at least thousands of lands in the vicinity, and can produce a lot of rice every year. Harvest according to Shangtian Yijia A hundred stones, seventy stones in the middle, and forty stones in the bottom, if the standard is roughly calculated by one or two, it is a total of seventy stones per Jia output. This thousand Jia land is [-] Shi rice!"

"These are small things. What I am happy about is not how much rice you harvested in Taiwan. What I am happy about is that these measures of yours have brought back the hearts of the mountain people!"

Li Huayu is young and has a temper. After arriving in Taiwan, many things that are seen as outrageous in the eyes of others are very common in his eyes.

Before he took office, the young descendants of the Han immigrants were very popular with Gaoshan girls. However, these strong men were worried that they would marry foreign women and return to their hometowns.No matter how hard you hold back, you can only rely on the fifth girl to solve the problem. Many people have to go back and forth between Taiwan and the mainland to solve their offspring and family problems.

For this kind of social problem, Li Huayu only learned about it when the supply of ship spaces was in short supply.

"Go! What's the point of this?! Make a list! All the farmers in the Zhuangzi who are willing to marry Fanmin, and those who are willing to marry, as long as they are both male and female, the officials will give it to them A piece of cloth, five shimi's dowry money!"

With the backing of such an official, and there is still money to take, it means that the official family has paid for them to marry their wives. There was a sensation, and countless people in the two circles entrusted the central media to complete the marriage.The dragon and phoenix wedding invitation with the command to make the Yamen red and Guanfang suddenly became the most conspicuous thing at the wedding.

"This is what was sent to us by Marshal Li of the Southern Cantonese Army! Go back to the ancestral house. If the people in the ancestral hall don't provide the family tree and tell the ancestors, we will go to the Yamen to sue them!" Several Kens who married Fanmin wives People support each other.

Marriage coupled with the promotion of production technology and the circulation of language, the Gaoshan people began a rapid upgrading activity.Li Huayu and others were surprised by the fast Sinicization and firm attitude of some Gaoshan villages living close to the farms of the Fuken Bureau.

In order to meet the needs of the Gaoshan people in learning Chinese and Chinese characters, Li Huayu had to recruit a large number of people from the commander's office, and even selected from the army who had a sixth-grade education level to serve as teachers in the village.

However, this measure seems to have serious side effects after satisfying the temporary shortage of teachers.In less than half a year, more than [-] amateur teachers who worked part-time in the village went to the commander's yamen to handle the dragon and phoenix posts in disgrace, followed by one or more young women from Fanmin.Many of them have pregnant women with slightly bulging bellies.

These people were unable to resist the enthusiastic offensive of the students or the students' sisters during the teaching process in the village community, and had to go to the Yamen to pay for the tickets after sowing the seeds carelessly.However, for these people, Li Huayu generously carried forward the style of a son-in-law, "Since they are pregnant with your seed, you have to treat them well! If you treat them badly in the slightest, I will be the first to disobey them! "

After finishing speaking, a bulletin was issued as usual, stipulating that for those who board the train first and then make up for the fare, when receiving the dragon and phoenix post as a legal husband and wife certificate, in addition to the dowry gift from the official, there will be two pieces of cloth and five silver dollars. And ten Shimi's milk money to the woman.

Li Huayu's style of a young master earned him a good reputation decades later.

Countless people with Gaoshan ethnic origin enshrine the Holy King of Kaitai in the most conspicuous position. It is this Li who gave the Fan people legal marriages with Han immigrants and taught them various production techniques and languages. Eldest young master.

This is not mentioned for the time being.

Ps:

came back.It can be regarded as walking around the edge of the snow-capped mountains and grasslands, and only then did I realize the hard-won red mountains and rivers.Seeing the reconstruction of the disaster areas along the way, I realized even more how hard it is to build a country.
