Fan Jingwen, the governor of Zhejiang, although he has been to Dongfan, he knows about Dongfan, and he has long known the situation of this big island in the sea from the rich businessman in Zhejiang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the southern part of the island was occupied by the Red Hairy Empire, the island was occupied by pirates in several places. But with the attachment of Zheng Zhilong, all this is no longer a problem.

In addition, with the holy decree of the imperial court and the official document of the Fujian and Zhejiang Governor's Office, the action of transferring the victims to Dongfan for resettlement was also quickly launched.

In this way, from the end of May to the beginning of August, the 300,000 or 400,000 victims of the disaster in the eastern coastal areas of Zhejiang were rushed to the Dongfan by the governor's yamen and the officials of the prefectures along the eastern coast of Zhejiang.

There were as many as 2,000 of these sea ships, some of which were all kinds of warships of the Zhejiang Navy, some of which were civilian merchant ships rented by the governor Yamen with silver, and many of them were the huge fleet of Zheng Zhilong, a Fujian coastal defense general who was newly attached to the imperial court.

Although the victims of the disaster in eastern Zhejiang endured hunger, plague and hard work in their hometowns, they still did not want to leave their homeland, and most of them did not want to leave their hometowns and went to the desert islands at sea to reclaim land.

Therefore, under the coercion and coercion of the governor of Zhejiang and the officials of the stricken prefectures along the river, and even beating and scolding, some of the few bold and reckless people ran into the mountains to hide, and finally had no way to make a living, so they had to fall into the grass and become thieves who robbed homes and houses.

With most of the coastal victims being caught on ships and sent across the sea, by mid-August, the originally chaotic border of eastern Zhejiang was much calmer.

Since Fan Jingwen took office, he was all busy with this matter, and he had no time to take care of the other tasks assigned to him by the emperor when his majesty resigned.

As for the coastal victims who fled into the mountains to become bandits, they were originally just farmers working in the fields, but now they are just a group of rabble, as long as the autumn tax is collected and the Fubiao is built, it is easy to exterminate them, so Fan Jingwen did not take it to heart.

However, what he never expected was that just two days after the Mid-Autumn Festival on 15 August, on 18 August, an unprecedented large-scale surge occurred again in Hangzhou Bay outside the Qiantang River.

The huge tide more than 20 meters high was emptied of the turbidity waves for a time, surging in, not only rolling away the tens of thousands of people crowded on both sides of the Qiantang River estuary to watch the tide, but also wave after wave of huge tides, crossing several seawalls, all the way into the inland dozens of miles away.

Such an unprecedented huge tide hit wave after wave and lasted for three days.

The next thing can be imagined, the richest places in eastern Zhejiang, Jiaxing, Hangzhou, Shaoxing, and Ningbo, which are dozens of miles by the sea, were once again affected by a large area.

Fan Jingwen was shocked and hurriedly wrote the Fujian and Zhejiang Governor's Mansion, and then reported it to the cabinet and the household department, and at the same time asked the imperial court to allocate funds for relief.

Emperor Chongzhen also knew about this matter, but he didn't care too much about it. Because he has always been eager to immigrate from the southeast coast in large numbers as soon as possible and reclaim Dongfan, he feels that this is another opportunity to immigrate to Dongfan.

Therefore, in addition to approving the allocation of 300,000 Chongzhen silver dollars for resettlement by the Ministry of Households, Emperor Chongzhen quickly focused on the anti-captivity battle in Dongjiang Town, and did not pay too much attention to the Qiantang surge.

By mid-September, Fan Jingwen had finished collecting the autumn tax, and at the same time, he had also waited for the relief funds from the imperial court, and soon invested in the relief of the migrants.

And this time the disaster was not as severe as the last one, so the confrontation of the immigrants was stronger than the last time.

Fan Jingwen, who understood Emperor Chongzhen's intentions, of course, could not let the major matter of immigrating to Dongfan fail to be carried out, so after estimating the number of affected households and the population of each prefecture, the governor of Zhejiang, gave the prefectures that reported the disaster situation and set the target for sending the victims to Dongfan Tun for resettlement.

As a result, the actions of the officials of Jiaxing, Hangzhou, Shaoxing, and Ningbo became much simpler and rude; they not only arrested people everywhere in the flood-stricken villages and towns and escorted them to ships, but also arrested and arrested the victims who poured into the cities to escape natural and man-made disasters.

As a result of the lessons learned from the past, this time the repatriation of immigrants on the ship was not as smooth as the last time, and many people who had suffered from the disaster would rather stay in their hometowns to starve than leave their hometowns to emigrate, so when they heard that the government was arresting people everywhere and sending them to the ship, they fled one after another.

By the end of October, the targets of the four prefectures had not been fulfilled as scheduled, and the officials at all levels who had assigned tasks to them soon sent out officials to arrest and arrest those who looked like beggars and homeless people, and even the hooligans, thieves, and idlers detained in the state and county prisons were all sent to the ships and transported away to fill the number.

All of a sudden, the capitals of these state capitals were really clean and peaceful, and there were no longer any scenes of beggars and homeless people.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages, and the tough measures of the governor's yamen and several government offices soon provoked the resistance of some victims.

Among them, there are two men, one is called Cheng Zai and the other is called Chen Dalang, who took the lead in killing the official messenger and rebelling by mistake.

Cheng Zai is a wealthy businessman outside Jiashan County, Jiaxing Prefecture, with a few shops in the county, a few mulberry gardens and several weaving factories outside the city.

This Chen Dalang is a ruffian in Jiashan County, and he is also Cheng Zai's wine and meat friend and thug leader.

And this Jiaxing Mansion, north of Taihu Lake, south of Qiantang, since ancient times is one of the few fish and rice towns in Zhejiang, plus the folk silk weaving industry is very developed, there are many mulberry weaving factories, so it has been one of the most prosperous areas in the south of the Yangtze River.

Because of this, labor is very expensive in this place, and some mulberry weaving factories need to pay a lot of money if they want to expand and hire workers.

For this reason, many wealthy businessmen who run weaving factories at home are somewhat gloating, and not only are they not worried about natural disasters such as the tsunami surge, but they welcome them, because the more displaced people, the easier it is to hire workers, and the lower the price.

Cheng Zai, a wealthy businessman, took advantage of this surge to easily recruit hundreds of displaced victims, signed a deed to sell themselves into slavery with them, and kept them in his mulberry garden and weaving factory as slaves.

In his opinion, this is a consensual thing, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and it can be regarded as accumulating good deeds, but an official in Jiashan County almost thinks so.

From the Yamen of the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, the Yamen of the Governor of Zhejiang, to the Yamen of Jiaxing Mansion and Jiashan County, there are clear orders at all levels, and the victims of the coastal counties of Fujian and Zhejiang should go to sea by boat and be placed in the newly established Dongfanwei of the imperial court.

The examination method was originally implemented by Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet in the early Wanli period, to encourage local officials to do things, and now it has been used by Wen Tiren once again to urge the officials of the coastal provinces and counties of Fujian and Zhejiang to resettle the victims, and it is actually quite effective.

Inspired by the examination law, the county officials of Jiashan County were very attentive, not only sending a large number of docile and honest victims, but also searching for and arresting those displaced people who did not want to settle in Dongfan.

Soon, the Cheng family, not far outside Jiashan County, was denounced, saying that he had taken in a large number of displaced people who were unwilling to accept government relief and resettlement.

The next thing is very easy to understand, a team of officials came to Cheng's house and wanted to take people away, while Cheng Zai, Chen Dalang and others did not agree because those homeless people had been sold as slaves and maids of the Cheng family, and those homeless people themselves did not agree, just like that, they came and went, and they fought.

What's more serious is that Cheng Zai and Chen Dalang led those homeless people who hated the official errands, and they were not serious, and a siege was carried out, killing seven officials of the Jiashan County Ya, and the remaining dozen or so people were also seriously injured.
