Chapter 184: Dengsha Chongming's situation is different
This Chongming sand is the Chongming Island of later generations, but it is different from Chongming Island, because Chongming Island has been changing.
Chongming is the third largest island in China, and has always been known as the gateway of the Yangtze River, Yingzhou in the East China Sea, but it is a typical estuarine alluvial island.
In the Tang Dynasty Wude years, the south waters of Dongbuzhou rose out of two sandbanks, called the East Sand and the West Sand, the Song Dynasty and the Holy Year of the Song Dynasty bordered the east and west, so got an island, and the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and rose out of more than 30 sandbanks such as Saddle Sand and Gaotou Sand, to the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the sandbar gradually collapsed, only to form a big island.
But during the Kangxi period, more than 30 sandbars rose again, and by the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were already more than 60 sandbanks.
It is precisely because of this reason that it can be said that Chongming Sand at this time and Chongming Island in later generations are not the same concept at all.
At present, Li Mi and others are going to Chongming Sha, which is the main island and the largest sandbar among them, which is Xisha.
Because of the rebellion, the pirate ships of various countries were rampant across the ocean, the Ming Dynasty also attached great importance to the construction of sailors, for these overseas fortresses, it was even more hard to build, the soldiers and the people continued to reinforce, and a lot of fortifications were built on the Xishazhou, and many merchants also went to the island to operate, and the merchant ships were supplied and sold goods, and the island became prosperous.
Compared with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, especially the late Qing Dynasty, the Beiyang Fleet was built with all the strength of the whole country, and the result was that there was no piece left, and the Daming Naval Division was too majestic.
Zheng He didn't say anything about going to the West, just saying that Wanli got up early, and after a small prosperous situation like "Wanli Zhongxing", no one dared to offend Daming, whether it was the Shenji Battalion or the Sailor.
The Japanese were like crazy rats, wandering around, but in the end, the Ming Dynasty was wiped out, and the ships of the Buddha and other countries were also in awe of the Ming Dynasty and did not dare to offend in the slightest.
These are just casual mentions, just to say that Li Mi and the others finally came to Chongmingsha under the guidance of all the cultivators, and their hearts were also extremely excited.
From afar, between the sea and the sky, there are one emerald green island after another, and the ships between the islands are weaving back and forth, and even the boatman's horn can be vaguely heard echoing, which is really like a mirage floating in the air.
Xisha is the largest island at this time, and Wu Weizhong and others naturally stopped on it, but if they wanted to reach Xisha, they also passed through many checkpoints along the way.
Xu was taken care of by Wu Weizhong, and after knowing Li Mi's identity, they also sent a small boat to escort them, leading them in front, and the ships along the way saw the flags on board, and they all avoided them.
However, these ships and even the officers and soldiers on Chongming Sha must have been very surprised, because they actually saw an old-fashioned Qi family army ship!
Those merchant ships are just that, the officers and soldiers on the island are all knowledgeable about goods, and there are many veterans of a hundred battles, and it is inevitable that there will be some tears in their eyes when they see this ship.
At first, it was only some ships and the officers and soldiers in the fortress who played the flag of salute, but later, wherever the ship went, the flag of salute was raised, and Qi Chu and the other 19 people were also full of emotion.
The warship finally docked at the Shengang dock on the main island, and Song Zhiwei thought that someone would receive him, but the truth was a little disappointed.
Although there are indeed people who receive them, they are not Wu Weizhong's people, but Fan Rongkuan's people! Because Li Mi saw Fan Chongxian with a gloomy face from afar!
Song Zhiwei and Chen Heguang, the prefect of Suzhou, are allies of interests, while Fan Rongkuan is more inclined to Huang Shiyuan, the same governor of Suzhou, so it is not very pleasant.
I haven't seen him for a few months, Fan Chongxian actually put on a dark green official uniform, thinking that he was under the shadow of his father and made up for the official vacancy, Fan Rongkuan did not let go of this opportunity to suppress bandits, and estimated that he gave his son a lot of credit.
Wu Baizhi, on the other hand, was dressed in black, wore a veil, and cautiously followed behind Fan Chongxian.
Fan Chongxian said arrogantly to Li Mi and Song Zhiwei: "Song Tuiguan, you were ordered to come over to contact, but now you are five days late, and the guilt has been lowered, you can't afford to eat!" ”
Song Zhiwei is a pusher, that is an official ordered by the imperial court, and he is not very good at dealing with the father and son of the Fan family, although he is a little late and a little unreasonable, but when he encounters a storm, he is unpredictable, he can't be swayed, and he is not deliberately slack, which is understandable, but he didn't expect Fan Chongxian to let go of such an opportunity at all!
"Fan Gongzi, I am waiting for a storm at sea, and it is already a blessing to have my life to come back, how can I be harsh, but Fan Gongzi, I don't know in what capacity I am talking to this official!"
Fan Chongxian sneered and said: "I want to teach you that this official has been promoted to deputy pacification officer, but he is the court official of the seventh grade, you and I are just on an equal footing, if you think about it seriously, now it is a wartime, a matter at sea, you are not as effective as me, a pacification officer!" ”
Song Zhiwei was so bumped by Fan Chongxian, he was also angry, and was about to argue, but Li Mi stopped him, his face was a little solemn.
In fact, Li Mi had already noticed this detail, and it was only when he arrived on the main island that he felt that the situation was a little serious.
Because from the accompanying islands and checkpoints along the way, all he saw were the officers and soldiers of the guard, but he couldn't see Wu Weizhong's soldiers!
When I arrived on this main island, there were some brocade-clothed guards all around, but I didn't see a single sergeant of Hainingwei!
Li Mi said to Fan Chongxian: "I want to see General Wu Weizhong." ”
Fan Chongxian was slightly stunned, but soon became proud, the reason why he was stunned was that he didn't expect that Li Mi was still the same as before, he could see at a glance that he was tired, but the pride was that his father was already in power!
"Wu Weizhong is suspected of instigating gangsters to assassinate Lu Wutai, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, and has been detained by Jinyiwei and picked up, and now all matters are signed by my father and Zhao Yanyang, the general manager of Jinyiwei, you just wait to eat the board!"
When Li Mi heard this, his face was also difficult to look at, and he glanced at Wu Baizhi behind him, who was also a little ashamed and didn't dare to look at Li Mi.
Her father let the Fan family father and son renovate into such a down-and-out appearance, this Wu Baizhi still followed Fan Chongxian with all her heart, she really failed Wu Weizhong's upbringing and drowning in her!
Of course, although Wu Baizhi has not yet been married by the Ming media, she has already committed herself to Fan Chongxian, and the two have done an unseemly deed, raw rice is cooked and cooked rice, it is impossible for her to turn back, and the women in love are fools, I am afraid that she is still fantasizing that the Fan family father and son will not be ruthless to her father Wu Weizhong.
Li Mi didn't think about this for the time being, and said to Fan Chongxian: "Even if you are detained, you also have the right to be visited, so you still want to abuse lynching?" ”
Fan Chongxian also gritted his teeth secretly, and said to Li Mi: "What is your identity?" I dare to speak out in front of this official! You're just a cheap catcher, what qualifications do you have to see someone criminal! ”
Li Mi was also angry: "I'm not a fast catcher, I'm just white, and I also have the right to visit, he is my master, how can I not have the right to visit as a disciple!" Since you have become an official, you should know your identity, like my master's identity, it is not a triage of the three divisions, and it must be judged by the criminal department, there is no conviction at the moment, the master is innocent, and it is a big crime to imprison the military generals of the imperial court without authorization! ”
"You Fan Chongxian is just a small deputy to appease the matter, you dare to slander and slander the three products, Suzhou Mansion Governor Song Zhiwei and others, all listen to it, they are all human witnesses, if I Li Mi sues the first person, your green skin will be stripped off on the spot, do you believe it or not!"
Fan Chongxian wanted to humiliate Li Mi, but he didn't expect to be caught by Li Mi, and after a rebuttal, he was speechless!
"You...... You are talking nonsense! You cheap arrester dares to sue the official, and I will beat your ass to pieces first! ”
Li Mi took a step forward, forced his eyes on Fan Chongxian, and said in a low voice: "Beat my ass to pieces?" I'll tell you honestly, who dares to touch a single hair of my master's hair, rambling about the blossoming of the buttocks, and I let his head fall to the ground, do you believe it or not? ”
Li Mi has experienced several desperate fights, and recently he has just experienced a storm at sea and walked back from the Ghost Gate, and at this time the murderous aura broke out, and Fan Chongxian was immediately forced to retreat a few steps!
As soon as he retreated like this, Wu Baizhi behind him would have to retreat, but even if Li Mi lowered his voice and others couldn't hear it, she heard every word in her ears!
Seeing that Li Mi defended his father like this, Wu Baizhi was also struggling in her heart, and when she lost her mind like this, she was hit by Fan Chongxian, who was retreating.
Fan Chongxian was forced to be embarrassed by Li Mi, and after bumping into Wu Baizhi, he was also angry and said to Wu Baizhi.
"Why are you stunned! Admire him so much, you should go with him, horizontally and vertically in the Po Long Temple, he has already seen you through, hasn't he! ”
Fan Chongxian scolded like this, Wu Baizhi's tears immediately fell, and Li Mi also knew that what Fan Chongxian said must have been that he broke Wu Baizhi's bathing in the cave.
Li Mi knew that a woman in love would be stupid, but she didn't expect Wu Baizhi to be so stupid that she even confessed to Fan Chongxian about this kind of thing!
Presumably at first, she thought that this would make Fan Chongxian hate Li Mi even more, and take revenge on Li Mi, who took away all her favor from her father, but who knew that this secret had also become a mustard in Fan Chongxian's heart.
What man can stand his woman being looked down upon by other men? Especially since this man is still his own nemesis!
However, what made Li Mi feel pitiful and angry was that Wu Baizhi just shed tears silently, but she didn't dare to leave in anger!
Now that her father has become a prisoner, if she can't swallow her anger, who can take care of her?
Regardless of whether she regrets it in her heart or not, it must be very uncomfortable at this time, but these are all self-inflicted, how can she blame others?
After Fan Chongxian was frightened away by Li Mi, he was also angry, and when he saw Wu Baizhi crying, he was also a little unbearable, so he just snorted coldly, and no longer paid attention to this woman, but said to Li Mi with a fierce face.
"You dare to threaten the imperial court!"
Li Mi laughed: "You said I threatened you, but is there any evidence?" ”
Fan Chongxian glanced around, and found that Song Zhiwei and the others were deaf and dumb, and they were also annoyed, pointing at Wu Baizhi and said.
"She is my witness, you threaten the court officials, I will let you send you to the isolated island to shovel bird feces, believe it or not!"
Fan Chongxian imitated Li Mi's tone, quite an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but Li Mi smiled at him.
"She is not just your witness, if you dare to let her testify in court, your intimate relationship will be difficult to ensure that it will be made public, and the door will be corrupted, and you will go to court, and you will say that your sesame mung bean black gauze hat is the credit that your Lao Tzu has worked so hard to grab, but it will be greatly discounted, do you believe it or not?"
Li Mi said this, Fan Chongxian is chest is about to be blown up!
At this time, he also woke up, didn't the ugly affair between him and Wu Baizhi just make Li Mi break it, so many grudges were involved!
Just when Fan Chongxian was speechless, a gloomy voice came from behind him: "What a man with sharp teeth and sharp mouth!" ”
When Fan Chongxian heard this voice, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Mr. Qian, why are you here in person!" ”
