At the same time, Gia Dinh, Vietnam. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As an important city in Vietnam since ancient times, Jiading has always been the most prosperous place in Vietnam. However, its historical origin is inextricably linked with the Chinese.

It was the time of the Le Dynasty Le Shengzong, and there were constant border conflicts between Vietnam and Champa. Because of the long-term influence of Chinese thought, all Vietnamese dynasties called Champa and Chenla and other ethnic groups barbarians. By force, constant pressure is exerted to force them to submit.

As early as Nguyen Huang entered the town of Thuan Quang, the Quang Nam Nguyen clan adhered to the national policy of the Li Dynasty and continued to encroach on the land of Zhancheng. In 1693, Nam Nguyen Nguyen Phuc Thanh once again provoked and sent troops to captive the king and ministers of Champ. Then, on the extreme southern border of Champong, Shunfu was set up.

At this point, the ancient kingdom of Champa perished. The remnants were either assimilated by the Vietnamese or fled west into the mountains.

This also makes the border between Nam Nguyen and Chenla directly border. As a small country, Chenla has since become a stage for Siam and Nam Nguyen to compete for power.

In 1658, Nam Nguyen Nguyen Phuc sent 3,000 troops to intervene in the battle for the throne of Chenla and forced Chenla to submit. After that, around the throne, there were many battles for succession in the Zhenla Kingdom. And Nam Nguyen and Siam, whenever there is civil strife in Chenla, they will lose no time in intervening in it, supporting a close party and ascending to the throne.

This went on and on until 1674, when the struggle for the throne broke out again. Ruan Phuocin also followed the old rules and sent troops to Zhenla again, and set up Yin Qiu as the king and Yin Nen as the deputy king.

Zhenla is also divided into two, namely Lu Zhenla and Water Zhenla.

During this period, Nam Nguyen used Chinese immigrants to help encroach on the land of Chenla. It was still the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and a part of the anti-Qing soldiers and civilians retreated to the junction of Vietnam and Chenla, and gradually formed two major towns, Ha Tien and Dongpu.

This is also the predecessor of Jiading!

In 1679, Yang Yandi and Chen Shangchuan, the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, fled south with 3,000 troops, and were led to the territory of Zhenla by Nguyen Phuc Pin, forcing Zhenla to divide Dongpu to them. After being run by the relics of the Ming Dynasty, Dongpu also became more and more prosperous.

The wheel of history turns again, slowly frozen in 1698. Nam Nguyen took direct control of Dong Pu and appointed the minister Nguyen Ễng Nguyễng to set up the Gia Dinh Mansion there. At the same time, the displaced people were recruited to the local reclamation, and the local Ming Dynasty relics were compiled as the 'Ming Township Society' and the Qing Dynasty people as the 'Qinghe Society'.

In this way, Nan Ruan officially took control of Jiading with the help of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty. A brand-new city has also appeared on the stage of history.

From a delta with narrow land and few people, 'monkeys and storks singing', and barren grasslands, it has gradually developed into a large Vietnamese city with fertile fields and prosperous towns, and the Ming and Qing dynasties of Chinese immigrants have made great contributions.

Later, Ruan Phuc Anh took Jiading as his base camp, devoted himself to development, and slowly gained the strength of the Northern Expedition. And because Jiading and Yonglong have contributed the most to the great cause of nation-building. Therefore, Ruan Phuc Anh called the first words of these two places 'Jia Long' as his own era name.

Now, although the new emperor ascended the throne, the name of the year has also been changed to 'Ming Ming', which means that heaven is destined in the dark, which essentially reflects the meaning of the Ming Dynasty ruling Vietnam. However, as the land of Longxing, Jiading has no political significance, and no one can replace it.

However, in front of Da Ming, no matter how good the place is, it must be given up.

As a result, the Jiading area became one of the three major leased areas of the Ming Dynasty in Vietnam. It's just that at the official level of Ming and Vietnam, the three major leased areas have been renamed the three special zones. This is modeled after the approach of the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions in later generations, and two different systems are implemented in one country.

However, the big difference is that the three special zones belong to Vietnam only on the bright side. Behind the scenes, everything in the territory is in charge of the Ming Dynasty. There are constantly stationed the army of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the chief executive of the Ming Dynasty.

It is the local people, most of whom are naturalized in the Ming Dynasty.

Vietnam, on the other hand, has only one office in the Special Administrative Region. Responsible for coordinating various disputes and conflicts between the two countries during official and non-governmental exchanges. But when it comes to dealing with problems, it is often dominated by the Ming Dynasty. In the end, Vietnam has actually been controlled by the Ming Dynasty, and those Vietnamese officials, when facing the Ming administrators, unconsciously became shorter.

When you speak, you don't have enough confidence.

Reflecting the people, the Vietnamese people who have become naturalized in the Ming Dynasty are much more arrogant than the Vietnamese people who have not been naturalized. Anyway, according to the regulations, the Ming people can only be tried by the judges of the Ming Dynasty. No matter what they did or what crimes they committed, the local laws of Vietnam could not bind the Ming people.

The superiority of this policy has caused Vietnamese people to rush into the three special zones. The population has also skyrocketed in large numbers. Taking the Jiading Special Economic Zone as an example, the population exceeded one million in less than a year. The population of the surrounding towns has been largely emptied.

As a result, when Jiang Wulin and his entourage arrived in the Jiading Special Economic Zone, the port was full of boats. The first thing to do was the piles of small mountains of merchant goods, from the bow of the ship, constantly piling up on the docks. Then a large number of shirtless porters poured up. He shouted a shout and carried it on his shoulder.

In a short time, the goods were emptied. But before he could take a breath, the next shipment arrived. The porters mechanically repeated the previous movements, carrying the goods to a conveyor belt not far away. After another stick of incense, the commercial goods will be transmitted to the huge and neat dock warehouse.

At a glance, it gives people a sense of grandeur.

And the people of the port are also very distinctive. In addition to the dark-skinned Vietnamese natives and yellow-skinned Chinese, there are also white Westerners, brown people from the islands of the South Seas, and a very small number of blacks. All kinds of people, everything. Viewed from above, these people huddle together, as if they have fallen into a dye vat, colorful and dazzling.

But they are not from all over the world, but from the Ming Dynasty. Because the merchant ships anchored in the port are all planted with the Ming flag without exception. And since the blockade of the South Seas, Western merchant ships have been blocked in the Andaman Islands.

No one, no country, can enter the South Seas.

Even if Portugal set up a stronghold in Macau, their merchant ships could only trade goods on Hong Kong Island, which was secretly controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

For this reason, Portugal also protested to the Ming Dynasty! France, which was friendly with the Ming Dynasty, also expressed dissatisfaction. However, on the grounds that the Mingying War was imminent and the security situation in Nanyang had deteriorated, the Ming Dynasty righteously rejected their protests and dissatisfaction.

So at this stage, all parts of the South Seas are the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty. To some extent, it can be regarded as the bathtub of the Ming Dynasty!

The Jiading Special Economic Zone is an important seaport in the north. did not gradually become lonely because of the blockade of the Ming Dynasty. After all, the special geographical location is there, and there is the policy support of the Ming Dynasty. The current situation is very stable, and the Manila route has been interrupted due to the war. So the merchant ships coming and going are still endless!

This is completely different from the period when Lord Ruan was in control. Although among the three special zones, it has a small territory. There are only the cities of Jiading, the towns of Bianhe, and the narrow strip of land that stretches to the mouth of the sea, but this cannot stop its momentum.

In less than a year, it has developed into the first of the three special zones. The daily tariff revenue amounted to 4 million Chinese dollars. It can be seen that the throughput of commercial goods is huge! (To be continued.) )
