The earliest written record of Yuyang County is in the Yan Kingdom during the Warring States Period, and it is called Yuyang because it is located in the Yang of Yushui.

Qin Zhi, Yuyang County, the ancient city is in the southwest of Miyun County, Beijing, "Historical Records" Yan Shijia Yan builds the Great Wall, from the Yang to Xiangping, places the upper valley, Yuyang, the right Beiping, Liaoxi, Liaodong County, Qin II sent Lu left Shu Yuyang is this, Hanzhi Yuyang County is the county governance, the city is in the Yang of Yushui, so the name belongs to the Youzhou Thorn History Department. Wang Mang changed its name to Tonglu County, and the Eastern Han Dynasty renamed Yuyang County.

Since Yuan Chang implemented the reform and reform of Youzhou, the whole territory of Youzhou has been in full swing. When it was first announced that it would reform and change the law, the people did not know the benefits of changing the law, and they were somewhat resistant to it. Moreover, under the impetus of some local families in Youzhou, the people also resisted. However, under Yuan Chang's strong suppression, and the common people also realized the benefits of the reform, they also began to accept the reform. When the law was being reformed in Youzhou, Yuan Chang took Guo Jia, Dian Wei, Ma Jun and others to Yuyang County. Now that he has run to Yuyang County with a few subordinates, he is naturally not full of food and has nothing to do. In addition to Yuan Chang and a few henchmen, Yuan Chang brought Ou Nanbao's friend Liu Shun to Yuyang County.

Liu Shun was when Yuan Chang was still serving as a taishou in Bohai County, and he joined Yuan Chang under the introduction of Ou Nanbao, and he had not done anything before. It's not that Liu Shun is incapable, but Yuan Chang at that time was just the Taishou of Bohai County, and Yuan Chang didn't think about making Bohai County his foundation, so Liu Shun didn't come in handy. Today, Yuan Chang is already a pastor in Youzhou, and plans to live in Youzhou. Build Youzhou as your own foundation. So, Liu Shun's ability. It's finally time to play.

Liu Shun's family has been begging for a living at sea for generations, and not only has a deep understanding of shipbuilding. The ability to sail is also very good. Therefore, Yuan Chang was ready to make him a navigator in China and open up great voyages.

There is no doubt about China's shipbuilding technology and seafaring ability, since the pre-Qin period has had the ability to go to sea, and there is also sufficient technology. In addition, the compass was also invented in Huaxia. However, the Chinese navigation technology was not used to develop the whole earth, but was mostly used for enjoyment and war. As a traverser, how could Yuan Chang still let it go. Now. He was about to begin preparations for the Great Voyage, so that the descendants of Yan and Huang would become the pioneers of the discovery of the New World.

Yuyang County is also reforming and changing the law, and the people in Yuyang County heard that it was Yuan Chang, the state pastor, who arrived, and they all welcomed it and praised it loudly. When they understood the content of the change, they realized how beneficial the change was to them, and they were ashamed of their own previous dissatisfaction with Yuan Chang. The head of a state who is so dedicated to the sake of them, the ordinary people, is still resentful, it is like a wolf's heart. In order to express their guilt. In the absence of anyone to initiate, they volunteered to line up on both sides of the road to welcome. Yuan Chang is also too addicted to being a leader, and he is also extremely emotional in his heart. A group of simple and lovely people, as long as they are slightly nicer. Less exploitation of them, and they will be so obsessed, why wouldn't the stupid ruling class treat them a little bit nicer. So much so that the people were forced to raise the banner to rebel, and a huge country was brought into the quagmire and abyss.

"Tian Kai, the commander of the Yuyang County Military Region, has seen Youzhou Mu!"

"Yuyang County Taishou Xun has seen Youzhou Mu!"

waited for Yuan Chang to show off in front of the people. Tian Kaihe came from the Xun family to serve Yuan Chang, and Xun Biao, who was appointed as the Taishou of Yuyang County, stepped forward to meet Yuan Chang. and brought Yuan Chang to the Yuyang County Governor's Office. Although both of them were the heads of the military and political affairs of a county, they were extremely respectful in front of Yuan Chang, and their reactions were different.

Tian Kai, as a former subordinate of Gongsun Zhan, offended Yuan Chang and was a little uneasy in front of Yuan Chang; However, Xun Biao was willing to abandon the Xun family and come to serve Yuan Chang, and Yuan Chang would naturally repay him. It doesn't matter if the ability is not strong, as long as there is an opportunity to exercise, Xun Watch, who wants to come from the Xun family, will not disappoint. And although Xun Biao is the son of Xun Shuang, because his ability is not obvious, after the death of his old son Xun Shuang, his status in the Xun family is not high. Now, he has only joined the command of Yuan Chang, but he can serve as a county guard, and the speed of this promotion is like taking a helicopter, although Xun Ji doesn't know what a helicopter is, and he is a little dizzy. Therefore, in addition to being grateful to Yuan Chang, he also hopes that he will show his talents and will not disappoint Yuan Chang.

"Tian Kai, Xun Biao, one of you is the commander of the sub-military region, and the other is the commander of a county, so you don't have to be so humble in front of me, and you have lost your identity. When he arrived in the palace, Yuan Chang taught a lesson with a straight face, and in front of the people before, Yuan Chang couldn't let the two lose face, so he didn't teach him a lesson on the spot. As a traverser, Yuan Chang received an education that everyone was equal, and although he came to this era, he was not used to the feeling of being clear from top to bottom. Fortunately, Yuan Chang did not travel to the servile era of the Qing Dynasty, otherwise, Yuan Chang was afraid that he would be so depressed that he would commit suicide with a knife and cross again.

"Youzhou Mu is teaching a lesson!"

Tian Kai and Xun Biao naturally couldn't understand Yuan Chang's feelings, they were born and raised in this era, and they had an extremely strong sense of class, not to mention Yuan Chang, who was kind to them, in their opinion, no matter how humble they were, it should be. However, since Yuan Chang spoke, they naturally nodded in agreement.

"Well, that's right. ”

Yuan Chang looked at the changed expressions of Tian Kai and Xun Ji with satisfaction, although they couldn't immediately change the concept of their previous life, but it was always good to have a change. "You two are the military and political leaders of Yuyang County, although Yuyang County's status in Youzhou is not very prominent. That was before that, though. Now I accept Youzhou, I will vigorously develop and build Yuyang County, and in the future, the status of this Yuyang County will not be weaker than that of Beijing City, the seat of Youzhou governance. Therefore, as the head of the military and government of Yuyang County, the two of you must not be slack off in the slightest, otherwise I will find that the two of you are not suitable for this position, and I will have to remove you. ”

"The subordinates should do their best, and dare not slack off in the slightest!" Tian Kai and Xun Ji patted their chests, eager to take out their hearts to express their loyalty and efforts.

Originally, Yuyang County was just an ordinary county in Youzhou. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, there have been no outstanding features. There are no levels to defend against enemies, and there is no feng shui treasure. It's obviously a place where no one cares about an uncle who doesn't hurt and grandma doesn't love. So. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Yuyang County was abolished. And now, Tian Kai and Xun Ji heard that Yuan Chang was going to vigorously develop and build Yuyang County, and his status was not weaker than that of Beijing City, thinking about how tempting this was a goal. Yuan Chang's expansion and construction of the city of Beijing has also begun, and as far as Yuan Chang's current vision of the city of Beijing is concerned, it is an astonishing goal, which will definitely exceed the scale of the capital cities of Chang'an and Luoyang. However, Yuan Chang would even say that the construction of Yuyang County would be no weaker than that of Beijing City, how amazing it would be. As the head of the military and government, Tian Kai and Xun Watch. If they stay in their current position all the time, and when Yuyang County is built, won't their status also rise with the tide.

Therefore, they naturally do not want their current status to be removed, and they will inevitably perform their duties more dedicatedly.

"It's good that you have such determination!" Yuan Chang nodded with satisfaction, then pointed to Liu Shun behind him, and said: "This is Liu Shun, you will be working together for a long time in the future, now get to know each other first." lest anything go wrong in the future. ”

Liu Shun was the main figure in the construction of Yuyang County, and Tian Kai and Xun Ji were responsible for assisting him. Now let the three of them get to know each other first, lest Liu Shun have to find people and resources in the future. But if you can't find the person in charge, then the fun will be great.

"Liu Shun, the Harbour Master, has seen Xun Taishou. Commander Tian!"

The Harbour Master was naturally an institution established by Yuan Chang, and the purpose of building the Harbour Master was naturally to serve the actions of the Great Voyage. It is also to lay the foundation for the construction of the Navy in the future. Liu Shun is just a sailor who goes to sea. Xinghai does understand that if he is allowed to build a navy to fight, he is afraid that it will not work. Therefore, Yuan Chang did not arrange a position of naval commander for Liu Shun. The position of commander of the navy is naturally reserved for professionals. In Yuan Chang's mind, Zhou Yu was actually the most suitable candidate to serve as the commander of the navy, but Yuan Chang had no chance to have a relationship with Zhou Yu, so he could only wait for a suitable candidate to be found in the future.

"Director Liu is polite!"

Although Tian Kai and Xun Ji have a respected status, they have never heard of this thing in the Harbour Master's Department, but they will not underestimate Liu Shun. Yuan Chang introduced Liu Shun to the two of them so solemnly, and their status promotion depended on Liu Shun, of course, he was also extremely polite to Liu Shun.

Seeing that the three of them were polite and seemed to be full of emotion, Yuan Chang was naturally not interested in watching the three of them stir up the base, so he interrupted: "You have to contact the relationship, and then go when the business is finished, I will not stop you from 3P." ”

Although they don't know what 3P means, the three of them also intuitively feel that this is not a good thing.

Yuan Chang asked Xun Ji to instruct the officials to take the map of Yuyang County, unfold it in front of everyone, and then pointed to the map and said: "Yuyang County has been renamed Tianjin since today, which means the mouth of the **** Jin'an, and the duty of guarding Beijing City." ”

The area northwest of Yongnu, the Yuyang County Autonomous Office, is the area where Tianjin is located, which was an ocean in ancient times, and the sediment of the Yellow River slowly exposed the seabed to form a plain. Historically, the Yellow River has been diverted three times, all of which flow into the sea in Tianjin. As far as Yuan Chang remembers, the last diversion does not seem to have happened, and now that Yuan Chang is preparing to build Tianjin, he naturally wants to prevent the problem of the Yellow River in advance, and will not let the diversion happen to Tianjin.

The origin of the name Tianjin is also very meaningful.

After Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, ascended the throne, he divided his sons into kings and stationed them all over the country. His fourth son, Zhu Di, was named King of Yan and was stationed in Beiping, which is now Beijing. After Zhu Yuanzhang died, he passed the throne to his eldest grandson Zhu Yunwen. In order to compete with Zhu Yunwen for the throne, Zhu Di launched the "Battle of Jingjing" in Chinese history. In 1399, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, led his army south, crossed the river from the three forks of Tianjin to attack Cangzhou, and in 1402 attacked Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty at that time, and ascended the throne of the Son of Heaven. After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he was very appreciative of the Sancha estuary that he passed through when he competed for the world, and thought that it was a treasure land of feng shui, and asked the ministers to dedicate their names. In the end, Zhu Di chose the word "Tianjin", which means "the place where the Son of Heaven crossed Tianjin", from which Tianjin got its name. Soon, Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, and Tianjin became the gateway to the capital, and its military status became increasingly important. In the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1404 AD), a guard was set up in Tianjin, "Wei" was a military system of the Ming Dynasty, Tianjin set up three guards, and more than 16,000 people were garrisoned. As a result, people called Tianjin Tianjin Wei. To fortify the city is to build the city, and the history of Tianjin as a city in a complete sense begins here.

Yuan Chang wanted to build Tianjin, not only as a naval base, but also as a port for maritime trade. Of course, if you want to build a port, the most suitable is undoubtedly Shanghai, which is naturally more suitable than Tianjin in terms of geographical location. However, today's Shanghai is in the hands of Sun Ce of Eastern Wu, Yuan Chang can't reach it, and as the mouth of the Yangtze River, today's Shanghai doesn't seem to have stabilized. Moreover, the Jiangdong area is still in a very backward situation, and the development of Shanghai began after the Southern Song Dynasty, after the Ming and Qing dynasties, until the Opium War, the British made the Qing government open up Shanghai, and Shanghai was truly developed.

From the Southern Song Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, it took nearly 700 years for Shanghai to be built, which was longer than the construction time of Beijing. Therefore, Yuan Chang can only choose Tianjin as the port base for now, and other important ports such as Shanghai and Quanzhou can only be left to future generations.

Seeing that everyone was listening to his speech very carefully, Yuan Chang took a sip of water, and then said: "The construction of Tianjin will be transferred to the northwest of Yongnu, in addition to building a city and stationing defenders, it is also necessary to build a dock on the sea. Tianjin's seat of governance is in Yongnu, some distance from the coastal location. Therefore, the administrative office of Tianjin was transferred to Tanluocheng, which was closer to the coastal position, and the military camp of the Tianjin Military Region was also transferred here, so as to better guard the dock. The construction of Tianjin is as important as the construction of Beijing, and the construction of Tianjin is in the present and beneficial in the future. Therefore, Tian Kai, Xun Biao, Liu Shun, the three of you must work together to help each other and work hard to build Tianjin, don't let me down!"

"The subordinates will not live up to the high expectations of Youzhou Mu!"

Tian Kai, Xun Biao, and Liu Shun looked upright, and expressed their attitudes to Yuan Chang seriously and firmly. In this regard, Yuan Chang was naturally extremely satisfied. After talking to the three of them, Yuan Chang turned his attention to Ma Jun, the construction of Tianjin naturally needs Ma Jun's ability, and Ma Jun's role is also very important in it.
