At the beginning of the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, because Goryeo was a vassal to the Song Dynasty, the two sides became a suzerain-vassal relationship, and Dengju Port became an important port for cultural exchanges, economic trade and envoy exchanges between the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo and Japan.

At that time, most of the envoys from Goryeo to the Great Song Dynasty entered the country through the port of Dengzhou, and the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty also traveled from the port of Dengju. The first envoy sent by the Great Song Dynasty to Goryeo traveled from the port of Dengzhou. In February of the fourth year of Chunhua, the Song court sent its secretaries Cheng Chen Jing and Liu Wu to envoy Goryeo and set off from Dengzhou Port.

In the early Song Dynasty, Dengzhou Port's commercial status was the most important among the four major ports of the Great Song Dynasty, both in terms of trade volume and status importance was much higher than that of Guangzhou, Quanzhou and Mingzhou.

It was only later that with the "Lanyuan Alliance", the Liao State freed up its hands to deal with Goryeo, and through two major wars, the Goryeo Kingdom was forced to submit, and the Goryeo Kingdom severed the relationship with the Great Song Dynasty, and at this time, the gradual chaos of the Japanese political situation caused a sharp decrease in foreign trade, coupled with the progress of the Khitan navigation technology, completely got rid of the method of island by island navigation, so as to often obstruct in the Bohai Sea, so that the Northern Song Dynasty and Goryeo, Japan through the port of Dengzhou trade intermittently, Dengzhou's economy appeared great ups and downs, The role of ports is declining. ???

In the Qingli period, the Great Song Dynasty imposed a blockade on Dengzhou Port, prohibiting southern sea ships from entering Dengzhou Port. In addition to Dengzhou Port, Laizhou Port also implements a sea ban. During the Great Song Dynasty, the economic center of gravity gradually shifted southward, the status of the southern port gradually rose, and the Khitan raided the Bohai Sea, the Great Song Dynasty court implemented a port ban policy on Dengzhou Port and Laizhou Port, which caused the commercial trade of Dengzhou Port to decline sharply, and Dengzhou Port also changed from prosperity to decline.

After that, the Northern Song Dynasty court set up the only city in the north in Banqiao Town, Mizhou, which was responsible for the trade between the Shandong Peninsula and neighboring ports and Goryeo, Japan and other countries. Mizhou City is connected to Goryeo in the north, and Mingzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other ports along the coast in the south. Jingdong, Hebei, Hedong and other roads can also export goods through Banqiao Town, Mizhou, and items offered to the imperial court from the southern regions can also be used on this route. In this way, the port of Dengzhou gradually declined and was replaced by the Port of Mizhou in Banqiao Town, Michigan.

However, although the port ban was imposed in Dengju, the envoys of Goryeo did always land from the port of Dengju. Because the capital of Goryeo is also in the north, the landing distance from Dengju is much closer, and it is navigating in the inland sea of the Bohai Sea, which is much safer than going to Mizhou to go through the outer sea with less wind and waves, familiar with the nautical chart.

Moreover, the Goryeo Kingdom has been operating in Dengju for decades, and there are still some connections and heritage, and many Goryeo expatriates in Dengju City are doing business or directly settling here, and many of the original maritime merchants and many merchants in the city are inextricably linked with their Goryeo!

Because there are so many businesses in Dengju City, the envoys of Goryeo naturally prefer to come to the Great Song Dynasty from Dengju.

……………………………………

Dengzhou was first established in the fourth year of Tang Gaozu Wude, and the state was originally governed in Wendeng County. In the third year of Wu Zetianshenlong, the Dengzhou governance office was moved to Penglai, and since then the status of Penglai County as the state of Dengzhou has been established, and it has not changed since.

When Dengzhou was in the Tang Dynasty, it belonged to Henan Road, and when it arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, Dengzhou was divided into Jingdong Road.

Dengzhou city Friday, two feet five feet high, standing near the sea, the state city is only one or two miles away from the Bohai Sea, the river is drawn as a moat.

Dengzhou City is one or two miles away from the sea, and it is also one or two miles away from Dengzhou Port, because the seaside in Dengzhou City is Dengzhou Port.

Dengzhou Port is not only an important port for foreign economic and trade relations, cultural exchanges and envoy exchanges, but also an important sailor base. During the reign of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, most of the five expeditions to Goguryeo were carried out by land and water, using boat divisions and taking advantage of the advantages of Dengzhou Port to transport troops and grain to Liaodong. In the Tang Dynasty, during the Tang Taizong and Tang Gaozong periods, the wars against Goguryeo, Baekje and even Silla also used the port of Dengju to transport troops and grain to the front line many times. Since then, the port of Dengju has been an important military base.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, due to the hostile relationship with the Khitan, the military status and role of Dengzhou Port were further prominent.

During the Baoyuan and Qingli periods, because the Great Song Dynasty was concentrating on dealing with the Western Xia, in order to prevent the Khitan from attacking from the Bohai Sea, and then implementing the Denglai sea ban, the Daoyu Village began to be set up in Dengzhou Port to protect the safety of the Denglai area and shield the Dengzhou sea area at the same time.

In the second year of the Qing calendar of the Great Song Dynasty, Guo Zhigao, the governor of Dengzhou, was ordered to form a walled city here to moor ships. This walled city is built next to it, located at the foot of Beidanya Mountain, built near the sea, poking into the sea, and guarding the throat of Dengzhou Port. Because most of the warships used by the naval army of the Great Song Dynasty are four zhang long, and the width is only less than one zhang, which resembles a long and narrow swordfish, it is called "swordfish boat", and this water city is called "swordfish village".

After the construction of the swordfish village was completed, Dengzhou inspected the swordfish village, parked the swordfish war, and prepared the Khitan. The imperial court also promoted the box army of this knife fish village to a forbidden army to show its importance. The construction of the swordfish village is the prototype of the earliest military port in the history of our country, and it is of great significance to the Khitan sea attack, the barrier of the Great Song Dynasty, and the raids and harassment of Goryeo and Japanese pirates.

This swordfish village is also a pioneering work in the construction of China's military port.

Of course, today's swordfish village was established in the second year of Qingli, and it has only been more than ten years now, and the scale and system are not very perfect, and the reputation is not too big.

The reason why Zhong Hao is familiar with this newly established swordfish village is not because he came to the Great Song Dynasty to learn about it, but because he has come to this Penglai Water City in later generations.

In history, with the Jingkang Change, the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, and the Jin State ruled the north, this swordfish village naturally lost its role in shielding the Liaodong national power to attack, so it was abandoned for a long time.

It was not until after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty that in order to prevent the attack of the Japanese invaders. Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty ordered the construction of a water city on the basis of the swordfish village in Dengzhou Port in the ninth year of Hongwu.

The military and civilians of Dengzhou Mansion then built the water gate in the north on the basis of the knife fish village, set up the Zhenyang gate in the south, surrounded it with the earth city, led the sea water into the city, and built the Penglai water city. Penglai Water City is three feet high, five feet high, one foot thick, across the mountain in the east, and riverside in the southeast. In fact, the Danya Mountain, the Sword Fish Village and the waters west of the Sword Fish Village are integrated into one, and the outer wall is built to enclose it, and the east is set up to open to the sea. After the completion of Penglai Water City, Zhu Yuanzhang specially gave the name "Beiwei City".

The Ming Dynasty sent sailors to Shuicheng and patrol the Dengzhou sea area, reaching six battalions at its peak. When Wei Qi Jiguang, who was born in Dengzhou, led the battle of Pingwa, he trained the navy in this "Beiwei City", which made this Penglai Water City famous all over the world, and also made Penglai Water City a glorious example of ancient Chinese military port construction.

Penglai Water City, wide in the south and narrow in the north, is an irregular rectangle, the negative mountain controls the sea, and the situation is precipitous. Since ancient times, it has been known as "the gateway of Beijing and Tianjin" and "the key to the Bohai Sea", and it is a place where soldiers must fight. Shuicheng has a complete and systematic defense system and sailor training and combat facilities, so Shuicheng has extremely strong defense capabilities.

Shuicheng was the most prosperous in the Ming Dynasty and was abandoned in the Qing Dynasty, after the Second Opium War. Due to the shallow water of Penglai and the siltation of the harbor, it is not suitable to moor modern large motor ships, so the commercial port was moved from Dengzhou Water City to Yantai Zhifu, Penglai's location advantage gradually shrank, and the water city also changed from prosperous to desolate.

Although in the long history, the military value or commercial value of Penglai Water City has gradually decreased or been abandoned. However, this characteristic and complete military building has survived until the era when Zhong Hao lived in later generations.

After several repairs in later generations, the original appearance of Penglai Water City was presented, which allowed the people of the era in which Zhong Hao lived in later generations to feel the culture of the ancient navy!

This Penglai Water City is built by Danya Mountain, Danya Mountain is Penglai Pavilion, Danya Mountain is Penglai Water City, Zhong Hao came to Penglai to travel in later generations, naturally he once came to this Penglai Water City to visit.

Of course, Zhong Hao is now in Dengzhou, and it is naturally indispensable to revisit his hometown. Belch...... Of course, whether the Penglai Pavilion and Penglai Water City in later generations are considered the hometown, or the Penglai Pavilion and Penglai Water City of the Great Song Dynasty are the hometown, but it is up for debate.

……………………………………

The city of Dengzhou in the Great Song Dynasty is two feet high and seven feet high, standing near the sea, the city is not a big city, and the city wall is not too high, which is far inferior to Qingzhou City.

Of course, Dengzhou City is about the same size as Weizhou City and Laizhou City that Zhong Hao passed through along the way. As for Qingzhou City, because it is Wangzhou and Jingdong Road, this Dengzhou City is inferior to Qingzhou City, and it is normal.

The most glorious period of Dengzhou should be regarded as the Ming and Qing dynasties, when the Dengzhou Mansion was one of the six prefectures in Shandong, and the city was expanded several times, and the scale was much larger than that of Dengzhou in the Great Song Dynasty. When Zhong Hao came to Penglai to travel, he had seen the county chronicles of Penglai, the capital city of Dengzhou in the Ming Dynasty was nine miles around, three zhang five feet high, two zhang thick, all of which were brick and stone structures, and the capacity was more than doubled. Nowadays, the moat of Dengzhou in the Great Song Dynasty and the dense water in the east of the city have been incorporated into the city by the expansion of Dengzhou Mansion City in the Ming Dynasty and become the river in the city. In addition to the normal four gates, there are three other water gates, plus a small water gate, and the scale of the city is quite large.

Although Dengzhou City is not too big, but this seaside is a major feature, Zhong Hao feels that when he is busy with his errands, he must have a good tour in Dengzhou, and go to the beach to have fun by the way. After coming to the Great Song Dynasty, I have never seen the sea!

After Zhong Hao took the interpreter Li Guangxu and two messengers to settle down at the post station in the western suburbs of Dengzhou City, he entered the city from the west gate of Dengzhou City.

Zhong Hao and his entourage first went to the Goryeo Pavilion in Dengzhou to inquire about the situation of the Goryeo envoy. Of course, it was too late today, so it was naturally inconvenient to contact the Goryeo envoy. Zhong Hao planned to make an appointment with the Goryeo envoy first.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the port of Dengju has been an important port for communication with the Silla Kingdom, the Balhae Kingdom, and the Japanese Kingdom, and there is also a special institution for receiving official envoys and managing foreign personnel. During the Tang Dynasty, there were Silla Pavilion, Balhae Pavilion and Japan Pavilion in Dengju, which served as a post house for the envoys of Silla, Balhae and Japan.

In addition to receiving and arranging official envoys from Silla, Balhae and Japan, the Silla Pavilion, the Balhae Pavilion and the Japan Pavilion also had some "customs" and "embassy" functions to manage the entry of unofficial personnel into the Tang Dynasty. Persons entering the territory of Datang need to be issued by the Silla Pavilion, the Balhae Pavilion and the Japan Pavilion, which are respectively responsible for managing and receiving personnel from the Silla Kingdom, the Balhae Kingdom and the Japanese Pavilion, similar to the passports and visas of later generations, before they can enter the territory of Datang. This kind of "sideplate" will indicate the destination and route of foreign personnel entering Datang. Foreign personnel entering Datang must strictly follow the destination and route on the "sideplate". If they don't follow the route, the local government can repatriate them after they find out. And after they finished their own things in Datang, the route back must also be strictly in accordance with the route of the "side saucer", and cannot be changed at will.

After the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, some of the foreign policies and measures of the Tang Dynasty were continued, and the establishment of a museum in Dengzhou was still used to manage and receive foreign visitors, and it was still a continuation of the "side saucer" policy of the Tang Dynasty. However, when the Great Song Dynasty was established, the Bohai Kingdom had already been destroyed by the Khitan, so naturally the Bohai Pavilion was no longer established. The Silla Kingdom on the Korean Peninsula was also replaced by the Kingdom of Goryeo, and this Silla Pavilion naturally became the Goryeo Pavilion.

During the Tang Dynasty, Silla and Datang bordered each other, and they could also take the land route, and the sea route was only one of the road options for them to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and the status of the Silla Pavilion in Dengju was not too important and prominent. However, in the Great Song Dynasty, because the land transportation between Goryeo and the Great Song Dynasty was blocked by the Khitan, this trans-sea exchange naturally became the only choice. Therefore, in the decades when the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo maintained a very close relationship between the clans and vassals, the Goryeo Pavilion in Dengju City once had an important position in the relationship between the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo.

However, after the alliance between the Great Song Dynasty and the Khitan Yuanyuan, the relationship between the two countries tended to stabilize. The Khitan was able to free up their hands to deal with Goryeo, and after the two major wars with Goryeo, Goryeo became a vassal to the Khitan and severed the relationship with the Great Song Dynasty, and the official exchanges between the two sides decreased rapidly, and the role of the Goryeo Pavilion naturally declined rapidly in the following decades.

When Zhong Hao came to the Goryeo Pavilion in Dengzhou City, he saw that the Goryeo Pavilion was extremely dilapidated and decaying. Except for the offices of several government officials in the Goryeo Pavilion and the courtyard for receiving the Goryeo envoys, which are barely repaired and can be occupied, the rest are already dilapidated and almost deserted.

Of course, this is also impossible, the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo have no suzerain-vassal relationship, even if there are Goryeo people who come to the Great Song Dynasty, most of them come to trade, this official envoy has not been on a trip for several years, this Goryeo Pavilion naturally does not have much maintenance significance, and the imperial court's allocation to the Goryeo Pavilion is naturally very limited. Without money, it is naturally difficult to maintain the repair and maintenance of this Goryeo Pavilion.

Most of the buildings in this Goryeo Pavilion were built in the early years of the Great Song Dynasty, and it has been nearly a hundred years now, and many of the houses have long been decayed and dilapidated. In the past 40 years since the severance of the relationship between the Goryeo and the Great Song Dynasty, the building in the Goryeo Pavilion has rarely received money to repair and maintain, so it is no wonder that the building is not dilapidated!
