Dengzhou was born in Penglai, Shandong. Just this month, Sun Yuanhua, a Western expert, had just taken office in Dengzhou City, governor Denglai.

The Shandong territory that crossed the crowd before was naturally in Dengzhou. As for the reason, of course, it's still people.

By this time in 1630, more than 100,000 people had fled from Liaodong to Shandong to beg for a living, most of whom were soldiers and military dependents after the collapse of Dongjiang Town.

Naturally, this huge human resource cannot be wasted. Otherwise, when the ogre is trapped in the Daling River by the Tartars in the year after tomorrow, Sun Yuanhua will forcibly send Kong Youde to Liaodong to die. Then Kong Youde rebelled halfway, and in the end, these people either died in the tug-of-war, or they voted for Tartar, and they also had to pay for the lives of the natives of Dengzhou Mancheng, a lose-lose, no utilization at all.

Therefore, the crossing of the public has long planned to set up a point in Dengzhou.

The reason why no one has been sent over at the moment is that the imperial court has not yet completed the approval of the land, and the second is that Tianjin has not yet freed up its hands. So what Mei Fuxi saw on the side of the ship today was just a standard Ming-style city, and there was no iconic boiler smoke column that crossed the territory near the city.

After the fleet sailed from Tianjin, it pulled a straight line in the Bohai Bay, and after passing Dengzhou, it traveled more than 300 miles east along the coastline to see the easternmost landmark of the Shandong Peninsula: Chengshanjiao.

After rounding Chengshanjiao, the fleet did not follow the coastline to detour, but sailed directly on the Yellow Sea without reference and took the shortest distance to Shanghai.

Thanks to gas engines and sonar, as well as navigation equipment, the fleet was able to maintain an average speed of 7 knots downwind and to travel around the clock.

This advantage surpassed all ships of the XVII century.

The fleet can run an average of 300 kilometers a day, and Shanghai is 1,400 kilometers away from Chengshanjiao, so after sailing on the Yellow Sea for five days, this evening, Mei Fuxi, whose face was dizzy, first saw the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then saw the port of Shanghai, which was emitting columns of smoke.

Although Mei Fuxi has been riding horses all year round and is accustomed to bumps, after all, it is his first time at sea, so he still has mild seasickness.

Still, the young people are excited. In the past few days, he has seen a scene of heaven and earth that he has never seen before, including distant islands and cities, the vast sea with no land in sight, the rolling waves, and the huge and dense schools of fish......

At this time, he saw the legendary Yangtze River and the land south of the Yangtze River, and truly felt the vastness of the rivers and mountains, the boundlessness of heaven and earth, and increased a lot of knowledge.

Before the night came, the fleet all docked at the berth of Shanghai Port. Early the next morning, Mei Fuxi and the others were given the opportunity to disembark and repair.

Today, the port of Shanghai is already very prosperous. After Cao Dashuai bombarded Xu Zhai to deter Xiaoxiao, it ushered in a wave of rapid development.

Unlike Tianjin, the Port of Shanghai has installed a lot of large-scale port equipment such as gas cranes. Whenever outsiders come here, they can always be surprised to see that the big iron arm emitting black smoke hangs tens of millions of catties of goods up and down, and the scene is very shocking.

Once docked, the soldiers and passengers were allowed to disembark, and the homeless were left to move around on deck. After the young men disembarked, they happily walked around the harbor. I first saw the big crane, and then went to the commercial area to shop.

Young Master Mei's family is wealthy, and he has made a name among the younger generation, so there is no shortage of followers wherever he goes. This young master Mei is taking two peers around, walking around in the bustling crowd, feeling the wide cement pavement, and from time to time running into the shop with beautiful glass windows on the side of the road to shop.

After a round trip, Master Mei bought a lot of local products for his family, such as mahjong tiles and Jierou paper towels.

When I went to the port consignment department, I had to write a letter to my family with pen and ink, and then I paid for it along with the local products. He doesn't have to worry about the rest of the matter, and he will take the package with him when the fleet passes by.

After that, the young master took his attendant to the restaurant for a good meal and ate a few local dishes of Shanghai, such as sweet and sour luncheon meat, anchovies in tomato sauce and crab roe buns. It tastes good, and the boys say it's good after eating.

Take a walk after eating. Neat, beautiful, weird, completely beyond the imagination of the Ming people of the cement dock, no matter how you go, you will not get bored. As the boys walked, they were amazed by the strange place of industrialization and geometric lines.

At 5 p.m. sharp, when the electric bell rang in the customs building, Mei Fusi was back on deck - he had been ordered this morning to return by 5 p.m. and not to leave the concrete floor of the port.

At 9 p.m., the flotilla was resupplied and began to pull anchor again. The port of Shanghai is fully equipped with cranes and gas headlights, so even at night, when the ships are refilled, they can be guided out to sea by a bright pillar of light.

For the rest of the journey, the flotilla had been sailing along the center of the strait, and there was nothing to see but the vast sea except for the other fleets that staggered by.

It wasn't until 4 days later at night, when Mei Fuxi was called out of the hammock, that he knew that Taijiang had arrived.

The young man who escaped from the deck was stunned to see the Milky Way on the ground approaching. The river of lights that was as bright as a colorful dragon shocked every stranger standing on the deck.

....................

Due to the power lines, the lighting of Taijiang Wharf is not comparable to that of Shanghai Port. When the fleet docked, the lights on the pier turned on, and it suddenly became as bright as day.

Mei Fuxi carried his luggage like this, and under the command of the officer on duty, lined up, tilted his head, kept looking back at the Denghe, and walked in line at the same time, and was finally driven into the barracks.

The excited young people, looking through the glass windows at the colorful light in the distance, their faces were full of longing—there was the one with good eyesight, who swore that they had just seen the woman with her thighs bare in the bow of the boat...... The lads didn't get a good night's sleep that night.

Fortunately, the traversal has seen a lot of this situation. So the next day, after going through a series of health quarantine procedures, the young man was told: three days off.

Before I had time to cheer, the bad news came: first memorize the travel instructions, and whoever memorizes it well can leave the camp.

So the monkey people began to frantically recite the travel instructions written on the wall. This afflicted more than half of the illiterate people, so they had to ask someone to read it out.

Young Master Mei is good at kung fu immediately, and his writing is not weak: he has also been taught cultural classes by Xixi since he was a child. The young master was standing under the wall at the moment, and it didn't take long for him to memorize these "instructions" that lacked pen and strokes.

It was only at this moment that the young master was convinced of one thing: there was really a woman with exposed thighs outside!

Because the third article of the instructions is that "it is a local custom for women comrades to wear short clothes and shorts, and it is strictly forbidden to comment on this, it is strictly forbidden to molest women, and violators will go to jail." ”

When Mei Fuxi saw this, she was full of excitement, turned around and ran to the door and shouted, "...... Report to the squad leader, I'm familiar with the regulations! ”
