- On the west bank of Huangpu, stands the young Shanghai County.
This low and simple masonry city was built in the 32nd year of Jiajing, more than ten years later than Kunshan County.
Because Shanghai County is located on the edge and no one cares about it, and there is no academic scholar like Gu Dingchen in the court to support it.
In order to avoid the plunder of Japanese pirates, we can only rely on the money and strength of the gentry and common people in the county.
They demolished all the brick buildings and used them to build walls. In the end, in less than two months, they built a spectacular city with a circumference of nine miles, a height of two feet and four feet, a moat of one foot and seven feet deep and six feet wide. city.
This somewhat ugly but strong city protected the people of the county from more than a dozen plunders by Japanese pirates in the following years
Although the anti-Japanese war has been successful, the people of Shanghai still maintain a high level of vigilance because of its remote coastal location. Especially when I heard that a group of Japanese pirates had just been wiped out in Chongming County, which is separated by a river.
This made the people of Shanghai very upset, so they saw the rather spectacular fleet of warships entering Shanghai Pu from Huangpu and heading towards the county seat. The gunmen patrolling the city quickly sounded the alarm!
"Dang Dang Dang Dang" alarm bells sounded, and people living in the villages and towns outside the county did not bother to pack their belongings. They quickly picked up the elderly and children on their backs and ran towards the county.
¡°A moment after the bell rings, all the suspension bridges on the moat will be raised, and the people who have not yet escaped into the county will have to fend for themselves
The city was also in chaos. The gunmen and civilians quickly dropped what they were doing and ran to the armory next to the city wall to gather.
There, they will receive armor and weapons, accept the dispatch of county officials, and go to the city to resist Japanese pirates.
The newly appointed county magistrate Zhang Yi did not dare to neglect, and quickly called the county magistrate, Dian Shi and others to rush out of the county government office.
With no time to prepare his horse, Zhang Zhixian led his disciples and ran all the way to the small south gate that sounded the alarm.
When he panted and climbed onto the city gate tower, he saw that the fleet had sailed less than two miles outside the city.
He quickly took a closer look and became furious.
"You bastard, are you blind? Can't you see the flags of Governor Yingtian and Su Songbing Beidao?!"
The strong people of the people have no words to argue, they can only bow their heads and accept the punishment. Who told them that they were illiterate and had never seen such a big battle?
Li Ronghao and Li Xiancheng, who finally took a breath, finally said with their mouths full:
"That's weird. Zhong Cheng and Bing Xian are working together. What are they doing in this corner of our country?"
"I'm afraid they are not here to ward off the Japanese." Yu Dianshi guessed.
"" Zhang Zhixian is a new academician who is ready to be accepted. He will not speak easily at this time, so as not to make too many mistakes and affect his prestige.
Amid the discussion among the disciples, the warship stopped at the inner beach pier, and groups of officers and soldiers wearing Ming military uniforms landed ashore.
The miserable Tian Tongpan ran to the ditch and shouted loudly across the suspension bridge, asking the Shanghai magistrate to rush out to meet him.
??~~
The suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and Zhang Yi led all the officials to the left side of the city gate to welcome the Prime Minister.
Lin Run rode into Shanghai City with no expression on his face, followed by Zheng Yuanshao and other civil and military officials.
Not to mention Zhang Zhixian and others, even Zheng Yuanshao couldn't figure out what Lin Zhongcheng's sudden arrival in Shanghai was for?
But Lin Zhongcheng had a gloomy face all the way, and he didn't dare to ask, so he could only follow behind silently.
"Where is Magistrate Zhang?" Lin Run suddenly asked in a deep voice.
"Xiaguan is here, Xiaguan is here." Hearing the sound, Zhang Yi hurriedly got up from the ground and trotted to the prime minister's horse in the forest.
"This court came to Shanghai to investigate a case of Japanese communication." Lin Run finally revealed the answer to the mystery and said: "How many Wanyuan accounts are there in the county?"
"Go back to Zhongcheng, Shanghai is a small place with only one family." Zhang Zhixian replied hurriedly and respectfully.
"Feng Qianhu!" Lin Run shouted.
"Here we are!" The tall Qianhu officer immediately stood out from the crowd.
"Immediately seal up the Wanyuan account with Zhang Zhixian, no one is allowed to come in or out, count all the accounts, and transport them to the governor's office."
"Huh?" Zhang Yi felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. Wanyuanhao is the God of Wealth in the county, and he has the Yanyun Yamen as his backer.
"The governor confiscated the family and left it. How will I conduct myself in the future?"
"This, this, this" Zhang Yi stammered and was speechless, and quickly looked to the old county magistrate Li Ronghao beside him for help.
Li Xiancheng has big and lively eyes, and a mole on his right cheekbone, which is very conspicuous.
Seeing this, he hurriedly bit the bullet and said: "Zhongcheng Rongzhen, Wanyuanhao Manager Lianghuai and Zhejiang Salt Class, Shanghai?? is a semicolon, but it also affects the whole body. Do you want to inform the deputy salt transport envoy stationed in this county first? "
"No need, this court will separate from Zou Yanxian." Lin Run did not want to cause trouble.
"Besides, he and Zou Yinglong, the censor of the Salt Patrol City, were comrades-in-arms for a reason, so a little expediency would prevent the situation from becoming too tense.
???????????????????????? Looking at the nervous looks of these two guys from the county, I¡¯m afraid they won¡¯t be able to straighten up in front of Wanyuan Hao.
"Don't worry, this court won't let you offend anyone." After saying that, he glanced at the group of flag officers following him and said, "Two of you will go too."
"I have the order!" Feng Qianhu and two flag officers hurriedly accepted the order.
Seeing that the governor had moved out the Wang Ming flag, Zhang Zhixian and Li Xiancheng did not dare to shirk.
Quickly led the officers and soldiers towards the Wanyuan No. 1 on Yaqian Street.
Lin Run took Zheng Yuanshao and others to his governor's office in the northeast of the county.
??~~
On Yaqian Street, the merchants who had made a false alarm had just calmed down and resumed business when they heard a dense crunching sound at the street entrance.
Merchants and citizens looked over one after another and saw a large group of heavily armed officers and soldiers, carrying bright long guns, coming menacingly.
The rustling sound was the sound of weapons in the hands of the soldiers rubbing against their armor.
The people could tell that they were not soldiers from this county. They couldn't help but look at each other and whisper to each other, wondering what happened?
Then I saw that the eldest master and the second master were among them, leading the army to Wanyuan Street, which was second only to the county government in appearance.
I heard the officer leading the team shout loudly: "Alert!"
"Yes!" Two hundred households each led a team of soldiers and blocked both ends of the Wanyuan, preventing anyone from approaching.
Feng Qianhu held the handle of the knife in his hand and strode towards the door.
Like all banks in the world, there is also a team of guards guarding the door of Shanghai Wanyuan.
Those guards did not take Feng Qianhu, a fifth-grade general, into consideration at all. They blocked the door with their weapons and said:
"What business does this military master have?"
"If you know it's business, why don't you get out of here!" the soldiers behind Feng Qianhu shouted with a dark face.
"I'm sorry, Master Jun, our Wanyuan No. is a business of Yanyun Yamen. Without Yanxian's order, the government can't go in and mess around."
The shopkeeper heard the sound and came out, bowing his hands to Feng Qianhu. "Forgive me."
As he spoke, he thrust a meeting ticket into Feng Qianhu's hand without leaving any trace.
Feng Qianhu didn't dare to accept his money, so he immediately returned it to the shopkeeper and shouted: "We are ordered by the Prime Minister to seize the Shanghai Wanyuan No., and whoever dares to disobey the order will be dealt with according to military law!"
The two flag officers behind him showed the life-threatening royal flag, and the shopkeeper immediately lost his arrogance.
This is a really capable killing thing, and it won¡¯t be worth it if your head is chopped off on the spot.
"Get out of the way!" Feng Qianhu pushed the shopkeeper away, waved his hand and said: "Go in, everyone will be detained, all the accounts will be packed in boxes, and transported back to the governor's office!"
"Yes!" The soldiers rushed into the Wanyuan ship.
ps. Today I have been worrying about the fate of a certain popular character for a whole day, but fortunately I finally figured it out.
