After Liu Xu and Lu Yijian said goodbye, the two girls also said goodbye to Lu Yijian!

The cart of Xu's carriage and horse carried everyone to continue to hurry, and at noon the cart arrived at the branch of Xu's carriage and horse company in Huang County.

In the branch of Xu's car and horse line in Huangxian County, a few more passengers got on the bus. After everyone had lunch in Huang County at noon, Xu's cart carried everyone and continued to rush all the way, and finally arrived in Dengzhou before dusk.

The cart stopped at the Dengzhou branch of Xu's carriage and horses, and everyone got off the car. Miss Jiang and Miss Ji said goodbye to Liu Xu and left, and the two visitors also said hello to Liu Xu and left.

Liu Xu, Xi Huaren, and Lu Feng were also a little tired all the way, and seeing that it was getting late, the three of them found a good inn to live in first, preparing to have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow they will start to go to the people in the streets and alleys to make a secret visit to the pirate attack on the city.

The bright moon is in the sky, sprinkling silver frost on the ground!

Liu Xu was lying on the bed, his thoughts were like a tide.

Liu Xu of later generations once came to Penglai, but now when he comes to his hometown again, he is already a thing or a person, and he will be separated for thousands of years! Liu Xu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, recalling the countless customs of the past years.

A sigh, a long sigh! Thousands of years later, the people and things of my own era can only be seen in dreams now!

After some emotion, Liu Xu remembered his tasks and responsibilities in Dengzhou this time - secretly visiting the Dengzhou pirate attack on the city. Liu Xu collected his mind at the moment, and tried to recall the information about Dengzhou that he knew in later generations.

Dengzhou of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, Penglai City in later generations, and Penglai County of the Great Song Dynasty is the attached Guo County of Dengzhou, and Dengzhou and Penglai County are in the same city.

Penglai, a name full of fairy energy.

In Chinese Taoist legends, Penglai is a famous abode of gods and a fairyland on earth. When Xu Fu crossed to the east to find the elixir, it was from here that he started, and the story of the eight immortals crossing the sea that was widely spread in later generations also happened here, and it seems that there is always an inextricable connection with the immortals.

The most famous building in Penglai in later generations is Penglai Pavilion. When Liu Xu came to Penglai to travel in later generations, he also visited Penglai Pavilion. Penglai Pavilion Tiger stands on the top of Danya Mountain, back to the mountain and facing the sea, known as "the fairyland of the world" is famous in the world, and the Yellow Crane Tower, Yueyang Tower, Tengwang Pavilion are equally famous, and called the four famous buildings in ancient China. It is rumored that before the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, they also met in Penglai Pavilion. Of course, Liu Xu knows that Penglai Pavilion has not yet been established. The completion of Penglai Pavilion was a matter of Song Yingzong several decades later.

From ancient times to the present, Dengzhou has always been famous as a large maritime port.

As early as ancient times, the ancestors of Dengzhou used simple navigation tools to "sail island by island" along the Miaodao Islands, opening up the earliest maritime history in China, and Dengzhou Port has also become one of the earliest seaports in China. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Dengzhou Port was the mouth of the sea of Qi State, the "Land of Sea Kings". Therefore, Dengzhou Port has always been known for its north-south access, long history, and its route to the Liaodong Peninsula is considered to be the oldest route in the north of our country, and this route has always been valued by all generations of rulers.

Dengzhou Port is the hub of north-south maritime traffic, and it is also the most important transit station on the main line of sea transportation, and its status reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty.

The grain transport route of the Tang Dynasty starts from the port of Dongwu, along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, through the southeast coast of Shandong, from Chengshan to Dengzhou Port for distribution, that is, the so-called "Wumen to Su Silk, Pan Hai Ling Penglai", can be sent directly to Liaodong.

During the Tang Dynasty, the national strength was strong, and the Dengzhou Sea was used to enter the Goryeo Road, and more than ten times of large-scale use of troops in Goryeo, mostly by land and water, and the boat division was used, with Denglai as the base, where the shipbuilding, transportation, and grain transportation were carried out, and Dengzhou Port gradually became an important naval base in the north of the Tang Dynasty, and the most powerful maritime center in the north. As a naval base, Dengzhou Port is close to Fucheng, which is worry-free and easy to support. Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, Dengzhou Port was extremely prosperous. Dengzhou Port is close to Fucheng, land transportation is relatively convenient, as a commercial port, the cargo trade throughput is larger.

During the Tang Dynasty, Dengzhou was not only the most important overseas expansion base of Datang, but also an important center for foreign exchanges.

During the Tang Dynasty, the ports of maritime foreign trade on the Shandong Peninsula were mainly concentrated in Dengzhou, which was not only an important outlet connecting the Tang Dynasty with the Korean Peninsula and Japan, but also a good port to the Bohai Sea and the southern coast, so Dengzhou also became the transmission center of the northern maritime civilization.

Dengzhou Port had reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty, but in the Great Song Dynasty, due to the confrontation with the Khitan, as well as the political turmoil on the Korean Peninsula and the chaos of the Japanese political situation, Dengzhou Port gradually lost its status as an important center of foreign exchange. As a result, the Great Song Dynasty court imposed a port ban policy on Dengzhou Port and Laizhou Port. The commercial trade of Dengzhou Port has decreased sharply, and Dengzhou Port has also changed from prosperity to decline, and has gradually been replaced by the rising Mizhou Port.

However, although Dengzhou imposed a port ban, there was an exception, that is, the ships of the Goryeo State that were very deferential to the Great Song Dynasty were allowed by the Great Song Dynasty to berth at Dengzhou Port, and their personnel could land in Dengzhou to come to our Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, during the Great Song Dynasty, the foreign exchange of Dengju Port was mainly carried out with Goryeo, from the third year of Song Taizu Jianlong to the seventh year of Song Shenzong Xining, 33 batches of Goryeo envoys, students, monks, etc. came to China, and the Song Dynasty sent envoys to Goryeo in 10 batches. As for the non-governmental trade activities between the two countries, it is also very frequent. Of course, the good relations between the Great Song Dynasty and Goryeo undoubtedly also had the intention of containing the Liao State.

But in Liu Xu's memory, he really doesn't know whether Dengzhou was attacked by pirates during the Great Song Dynasty.

Liu Xu only remembered that during the Ming Dynasty, Dengzhou was indeed harassed by pirates and pirates. And Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general, is a native of Dengzhou, Shandong. Qi Jiguang also became famous from the battle against the Japanese in Dengzhou, and then swept away the Japanese and fought against the Mongols, and finally gradually grew into a generation of famous generals. When Liu Xu went to Penglai in later generations, he also visited Qi Jiguang's hometown.

In Liu Xu's memory, there is still something to do with the Dengzhou pirates, that is, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi rebelled in Dengzhou at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and after the defeat, they also crossed the sea from Dengzhou to Liaodong to surrender to the Manchu Dynasty, and they were all crowned kings. And Kong Youde, one of the three, is also a real pirate.

Liu Xu searched his stomach and couldn't find any memory of Dengzhou City being attacked by pirates in the Song Dynasty. Since I don't have the memory of Dengzhou being attacked by pirates in the Song Dynasty, I don't think about it, I still have to go to Dengzhou tomorrow to make a secret visit, collect some specific information about the pirate attack on Dengzhou City, and then make a plan.

The tiring ride all the way, coupled with the pain of being beaten last night, made Liu Xu, who was lying on the bed, quickly fall asleep.
