Chapter 413 Blessed Land on the Sea
On the issue of gathering people to give lectures, Li Xin is far inferior to Jiang Yueguang and Zhang Pu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although Li Xin has also read a lot of sage books, and he is also a person who has been examined by his true ability, he still respects and distances himself from the broad and profound knowledge of Confucian classics, and his acquisition of this jinshi is also completely dependent on the emperor's personal promotion, and Jiang Yueguang, especially Zhang Pu, who has read Confucian classics and studied Confucian knowledge for at least 20 years, is of course greatly inferior.
And most importantly, he wasn't interested in these things either.
When Zhang Pu was immersed in giving lectures to the officials of the Shilin faction and the children of the Shilin faction in Korea, and immersed himself in preaching and teaching to solve doubts, Li Xin asked Jiang Yueguang for instructions, hoping to take part of the ships of the Tianjin Navy Master with Huang Long to visit the Yingzhou Town Shoufu of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, Jiang Yueguang quickly agreed.
Now they are waiting for the southeast wind, and it is a tailwind to Yingzhou Island, and when they return from Yingzhou Island, the wind period will be compared to returning to Daming.
In this way, in late March, when Jiang Yueguang and Zhang Pu were busy giving lectures and lectures to the government offices and private academies in North Korea, Li Xin and Huang Long took a boat together and sailed from the mouth of the Han River to the direction of Yingzhou Island.
Yingzhou Island is located in the open sea at the southeastern tip of the Korean Peninsula, and it is not so much closer to Donggang Town as it is closer to Nam Nao-li.
Taking a boat from Hangzhou Bay to Yingzhou Island is probably faster than going to sea from Phi Island.
However, if you start from the mouth of the Han River southeast of Seoul at this time, it is closer than from Hangzhou Bay.
Li Xin, Huang Long and others took two sea boats, set off from the mouth of the Datong River in late March, sailed all the way to the wind, and only took ten days, that is, the second day of the first day of April, to arrive at Yingzhou Ao in the north of Yingzhou Island.
Today's Yingzhou Ao has been renovated and has become the most important port in the north of Yingzhou Town's Shoufu, and it is also the anchorage of Yingzhou Town's Shoufu Sailors, docking at the Dongjiang Town's Houlu Sailor Fleet now belonging to Kong Youde.
Li Xin's Tianjin Navy warship was hung high above the military flag of the Ming dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, so the guards of the port knew from a distance that it was their own people.
The news was quickly reported to Kong Youde, who had now changed back to his original surname, and Yingzhou City, twenty miles away from the island south of Yingzhou Ao, also quickly got the news.
By the time Li Xin and the others entered the port and docked smoothly under the guidance of Luo Xinglin, the head of the Yingzhou Ao guard, Kong Youde had already taken a cadre of generals from the top and bottom of the sailor division to greet them on the shore.
The general Luo Shouzhong, that is, the former pirate Luo Achou, is now the general of the official army and the sailor, so naturally there must be a big name that can be called, so Mao Weizhang, the imperial history of the Dongjiang Town Supervisor and the guard of Yingzhou Town, changed his name to the current one.
The meaning of this name is obvious, the pirates who were entrenched in the pirates before robbed the passing merchant ships, and turned to accept Zhao'an and become a member of the Ming official army, then they must keep this loyalty, and they can't be half-hearted and look at Qin Muchu.
Speaking of which is also unexpected, Luo Achou's name has changed, and the spirit of the whole person is different, before the ugly and ugly shouted, a person just wants to pretend to cheer up, and it will quickly become obscene under this title, and now, in the past, Luo Achou, who was a thief and a rat eyebrow and cowered, after changing his name, really has a bit of the general spirit of the Ming official army.
At the moment, Luo Shouzhong took the lead and led Li Xin and others ashore, when Huang Long was a guard in Lushunkou, he had met with Kong Youde, a general from Dongjiang Town, at this time, they knew each other, and they helped Li Xin introduce each other one by one.
Li Xin has the identity of a scholar in the Wuying Palace, and at this time he was the deputy envoy of the Ming Dynasty to Korea to pass the decree to exchange the contract, and after Huang Longyi's introduction, he was soon warmly welcomed by Kong Youde and other generals of the Yingzhou Island Naval Division.
Kong Youde was born in Dongjiang Town, and he was naturally very skilled, knowing that Li Xinnai was a celebrity in front of the palace, his status was precious, and he took care of him very well before and after the saddle for a while.
The group rode horses and ran in the direction of Yingzhou City along the now widened and paved road from Yingzhou Ao to Yingzhou City.
As soon as he arrived halfway, he met Mao Weizhang, the imperial historian of the Dongjiang Town Supervisor Army and the guard of Yingzhou Town, as well as Chen Jisheng, the deputy chief soldier of the back road of Dongjiang Town, and Bi Denghan, the general of the Chinese army of Mao Weizhang, who came to greet him.
For Mao Weizhang, Chen Jisheng and others, who single-handedly created the Yingzhou Town Guard, Li Xin has long admired him, and under this meeting, of course, he was also excited, and immediately dismounted to salute.
Li Xin asked Jiang Yueguang for instructions to come to Yingzhou Town Guard, but in fact, there was no official business that had to be done, more out of his interest in Yingzhou Town Guard.
After all, being idle in Seoul is also idle, it is better to take a look at the current emperor in the Forbidden City, and the Yingzhou Town Guard Mansion and its generals, after returning to ask about the situation in North Korea, he can also talk about the latest situation on Yingzhou Island by the way.
At the same time, another deputy envoy, Zhang Pu, can now be regarded as having found a place to use, following Jiang Yueguang, who has won a great reputation among the Korean scholars, and how can he just be a spectator with nothing to do?
Even if you are a spectator, it is better to be a spectator on Yingzhou Island than to be a spectator in North Korea!
Under the introduction of Kong Youde, Li Xin and Huang Long met with Mao Weizhang, Chen Jisheng, Bi Denghan and others respectively, and then the group remounted and went to Yingzhou City under the leadership of Mao Weizhang.
Today's Yeongju City is not the low and narrow Jeju City of the past.
Emperor Chongzhen in the direct to Mao Weizhang in the will, instructed him to Yingzhou Island on Yingzhou Island as an impregnable sea fortress to build, originally in June last year to complete the restoration and reconstruction of Yingzhou City, after a year of efforts, now in the southeast and northwest outside the four city gates to build eight fortresses, four to accommodate the garrison of the urn city.
There are no ordinary businessmen and ordinary people in the whole Yingzhou City, only the generals and officials of Yingzhou Town and the families of these generals, as for the Liaodong Han refugees brought by Kong Youde from Dongjiang Town, after coming to Yingzhouao and going ashore, the first thing is to register their names and families, and then they are directly assigned to various small plains or basins on the island to settle down.
Since he led the army to occupy Yingzhou Island and opened up another world outside Dongjiang Town, Mao Weizhang asked Kong Youde to go to the old territory of Dongjiang Town three times to recruit Han refugees, but in the past year or so, he has only transported more than 60,000 Han refugees from Dongjiang Town and the North Korean coast, of which only about 20,000 are young and strong men, and more are old and weak women and children.
At the beginning, the Liaodong refugees who were trapped on the coast and various islands under the jurisdiction of Dongjiang Town were willing to take a boat to Yingzhou Island to settle down, but after Dongjiang Town achieved a great victory against Jianyu in September of the first year of Chongzhen, the land of Ping'an Road and Hamgyong Road that were close at hand suddenly became the bag of Dongjiang Town, and then it was also recognized and divided by the imperial court, and the Liaodong refugees who had taken refuge in Dongjiang Town for many years suddenly had a better place to resettle, so Kong Youde later returned to Dongjiang Town to recruit Han people. Not so many people want to come to the island so far.
Moreover, after Dongjiang Town was divided into five roads, the general soldiers of all roads quickly realized the importance of land and population, and no longer regarded the Han refugees that Dongjiang Town had to accept before as a burden or a burden.
If it weren't for the current Denglai Governor Sun Guozhen's strong support for immigrating to Yingzhou Island and recruiting nearly 10,000 poor people in the Denglai area to come, then there may only be the first few Han people on Yingzhou Island today.
Compared with the mainland of Daming, Yingzhou Island is still too far away after all.
However, not many people took the initiative to immigrate here, but it did not mean that Emperor Chongzhen would relax the resettlement of Yingzhou Island.
Just seven days before Li Xin, Huang Long and others docked at Yingzhouao, the Zheng family and Zhejiang's huge fleet of sailors arrived at Seogwipo Port with the last group of rebels who had surrendered after the rebellion in western Zhejiang was pacified.
Now the Zheng family and Zhejiang's sailor fleet have already unloaded a whole boat, a whole boatload of men, women and children, and returned with potatoes and sweet potatoes that have been cultivated on Yingzhou Island since last year, as well as salt and horses that have been offset at a discount.
All the way to Yingzhou City, to the town guard to arrange to stay in the official building, Li Xin learned from Mao Weizhang and others that Yingzhou Island is not only rich in sea salt, but also grazing a large number of horses, the moment is really surprised and happy.
This Yingzhou Island is really a blessed land of the Ming Dynasty on the sea!
