- Chongming Island in this era is truly a magical place.
Who would have thought that the sandbars that had been dividing, reuniting, and collapsing in recent decades would actually coalesce from now on and soon grow into a truly large island?
??And this change is so rapid that people are caught off guard.
In another time and space, probably in the early years of Wanli, people discovered that Changsha was getting bigger and bigger, and Sansha and Yao Liusha also grew back and became connected with it.
At this time, no one mentioned Chongming withdrawing from the county anymore.
By the 16th year of Wanli, more than a dozen sandbanks such as Nansha and Dongsha were gradually connected, and Chongming finally looked like an island.
So the magistrate of Chongming County established the county government in Changsha, and it never collapsed again for four hundred years.
Of course, in the second year of Longqing, no one except Zhao Hao could have foreseen that such a magical change would occur.
This is the uncanny workmanship of nature.
??~~
Yanshan Garden, Tingyuxuan.
The disciples listened attentively to Master's teachings.
"But this year, your situation will be very difficult." Zhao Hao said in a deep voice: "I estimate that the previous magistrate did not dare to rebuild the county. Most likely, it is not because of the tide god, but because of threats from certain people."
"The reason is very simple. The land on Chongming Island is fertile and there are natural salt fields. The people are only worried about Japanese pirates. As long as a city is built, even an earth city? It can allow the refugees to return. This is different from those who let Chongming The plan to remove the county and turn it into a lawless place is contrary to the plan.¡±
"So you will encounter the same dilemma as your predecessor. When building a city, you must be careful of ambitions. If you don't build a city, all the people will be lost, and Dayang will not be able to escape the impeachment of the imperial censor."
"Yes, Master, what should I do?" Jin Xuezeng almost burst into tears.
"Don't be afraid, as long as you persist until next year, everything will turn around!" However, Zhao Hao launched his third prophecy:
"When the time comes, the Xu family and their ilk will have too much time to take care of themselves, and no one will dare to cause trouble. If you want to build a city, you can build a city, and you can do whatever you want, and no one will make trouble again."
"Really, that's great." Jin Xuezeng breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know where the master's confidence came from, the great prophecy technique was infallible, so just listen.
"Master, what you mean is that we should not build the city this year and wait for the situation to change next year?" Yu Shensi asked softly.
"That's right." Teacher Zhao nodded and said, "But you can't be idle. Make preparations before the time comes."
"Master, please give me some instructions?" The two of them sat upright.
"Observe and analyze with a scientific attitude. First of all, you must understand what the main contradictions and secondary contradictions on the island are. This can help you quickly find allies you can unite with and enemies you must face. Then unity can unite forces. , divide and disintegrate the enemy, so that you can be sure of victory in the decisive battle!"
"The enemies must be the Xu family's big Songjiang family and the Shachuan Gang." Jin Xuezeng muttered: "They want to turn Chongming into the second Shuangyu, and they must think that I, the county magistrate, will get in the way."
"Don't draw arbitrary conclusions." Zhao Hao tapped the table and said to his disciples in a deep voice: "As far as I know, the Shachuan Gang currently has more than 200 boats and more than 2,000 gang members. These people have been born here for generations. Longer than this. Is everyone willing to see Chongming withdraw from the county and disappear from the territory of the Ming Dynasty? I don¡¯t think so?"
"Master is right." Hua Shuyang nodded in agreement:
"Once Chongming Island is withdrawn from the county, the imperial court will definitely order all the people to move inland. Those who stay on the island will become black traitors. Not only will the imperial navy kill them, it will not be illegal, but it will also be a meritorious service. The lives of their whole family will be at stake. It¡¯s in someone else¡¯s hands. But I guess many people in the Shachuan Gang only thought about the benefits and didn¡¯t expect this. If the two junior brothers can cleverly make them realize this, I believe many people will wake up.¡±
"Okay, thank you, senior brother, for reminding me." Jin Xuezeng's eyes lit up, and he felt like he had a grasp.
"You have to rely a lot on General Wang. He is the powerful King of Hell in the southeast. Plus I have assigned you more than a hundred guards. As long as you don't mess around, there will be no problem in protecting your safety."
He then heard Zhao Hao say in a deep voice: "You should keep a low profile for a while. Retired soldiers from the Qi Army have come to Kunshan one after another. I will give you half of it when the time comes. In a few months, Zhu Jue will support a group of our security personnel. I will still give you half as a division. Then your troops will be more powerful, I believe they will listen to you more calmly."
"Master, you are so kind to us. This disciple will listen to Master in this life." Jin Gongmen's eyes were red with emotion. Master not only wanted to preach and gain karma, but also worried about his disciple's career and tried his best.
"Woo hoo, I know Master"I won't ignore us" The emotional Lie Yangzi shed tears.
"I don't care who you care about?" Zhao Hao laughed and stood up, putting his hands on the shoulders of the two disciples and encouraging them:
"It's true that Chongming is a mess, but that only represents the past. For you, you have a low starting point, no choice, but plenty of room for improvement, which is actually a good thing."
"Yes, just like Cai Guoxi said, it won't get worse anyway." The second senior brother also smiled and agreed: "You can just do whatever you want."
"Yes, the world is vast and there is a lot to do! If you survive this year, you can let go!" Zhao Hao briefly described his plan to them, then patted the two of them on the shoulders and said:
"Building cities and embankments, thousands of hectares of fertile land will grow on the sea! Build ships, open ports, and race across the rivers and seas with thousands of sails! Chongming in the future will become the brightest pearl of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Yes, Master!" The two disciples were excited by the grand blueprint drawn by their master.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from home!

Although there are still many seemingly insurmountable obstacles For example, how could the imperial court allow sea transportation?
But Zhao Hao told them categorically. "The opportunity to create history is right in front of you, but the opportunity is only reserved for those who are prepared. So seize the day and night to prepare, disciples!"
Because in the third year of Longqing, starting from next year, the Yellow River flooded and canals were blocked year after year, making water transportation difficult.
With the support of Shandong Governor Liang Menglong and the support of University Scholar Gao Gong, the short-lived Longqing grain and sea transportation will officially begin under heavy pressure.
If you want to get rid of Ming¡¯s fear of the ocean, is there any better opportunity than this?
"It's a pity that with Gao Gong's resignation, the North Korean, Chinese and Bulgarian canal forces counterattacked, and Pan Jixun managed the Yellow River, so shipping was stopped again.
It was not until the twelfth year of Chongzhen, when Shen Tingyang, a member of Zhongshushe, asked to try sea transportation again to provide food and wages for Liaodong that it was restored again.
It¡¯s a pity that by that time, the empire was dying and nothing was of use
??~~
By the way, Shen Tingyang also has another identity, that is, the young leader of the Chongming Shachuan Gang.
????????????? It was the two hundred sand ships of the Sha Chuan Gang that experimented with sea transportation for Emperor Chongzhen. In the following years, shipping was also entrusted to the Shachuan Gang.
Shen Tingyang and his Shachuan Gang became the richest people in the world.
They did not let down Emperor Chongzhen and fought for the Ming Dynasty until the last moment!
At that time, Chongming Man's fleet was about to engage the Qing army, but was suddenly defeated by a storm. Shen Tingyang's warship capsized and sank in the sea off Chongming, and many of his soldiers drowned.
The Qing troops on the shore shouted, ¡®Those who shave their heads will not die! ¡¯
Shen Tingyang sighed and said: "The storm is like this, God's will is evil!" I must die to serve my country. However, death must be famous. ¡¯
He and his 700 men were captured.
The Qing court tried every means to persuade him to surrender, but Shen Tingyang refused. The traitor Hong Chengchou was an old friend of Shen Tingyang. He wanted to save his life, so he told him to lie and claim to be a monk, but Tingyang scolded him!
On July 2, the first year of Yongli, fifty-three-year-old Shen Tingyang, wearing a scarf and a wide robe, was taken to Huaiqing Bridge on Sanshan Street in Suzhou for execution.
He straightened his clothes, kowtowed to the south, shouted, "If you die for your country, there will be no regrets in dying," and then died generously.
None of the 700 Chongming men under him were willing to surrender, and they were all buried alive in Suzhou.
