Chapter 219 Dog Fighting Harbor

Fang Bao was originally a Jinshi, and he was very clear about the appointment of county officials, as soon as he heard Yinzhen ask about the situation of the new Shanghai magistrate, he knew that Kangxi appointed the Shanghai magistrate and did not consult Yinzhen's opinion, and he was also very puzzled in his heart, Yinzhen sat in Shanghai, and was deeply favored by Kangxi, why didn't Kangxi consult in advance on the appointment of the Shanghai magistrate?

Seeing that Yinzhen was silent, Fang Bao asked tentatively: "The prince has been in Shanghai for nearly three years, what is wrong with the former magistrate?" ”

Yinzhen shook his head slightly, Xu Shizhen's three-year term has expired, and his performance appraisal is also outstanding, so there should be no omissions? Kangxi's move is quite intriguing? It is impossible to contain it, but it is more likely to add a monitoring eye and eye, after all, many things can't get around the county.

Fang Bao has been living in Jiangning for several years, and he has heard a little about the situation in Shanghai, and after a little meditation, he said: "The magistrate of the county is the official of the Son of Heaven, who is in charge of the management of a county, decides lawsuits, persuades farmers to help corruption, cures cunning and eliminates traitors, and promotes education. All tributes, reading, pension, and worship are incomprehensible.

Shanghai is located in the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, and is a newly opened port, merchants gathered, the prince and all kinds of workshops, its prosperity and wealth are no longer under Jiangning, but the situation in Shanghai is more complicated than Jiangning, people from the West and Nanyang are widely gathered, and there are Western missionaries stationed in the mission.

Although he has no experience in dealing with local government affairs, he is familiar with etiquette and teaching, and his clan is quite popular in Jiangnan, and several of his brothers are also well-known in Jiangnan Shilin.

In his vain speculation, the emperor appointed Cha Siting to take over as the magistrate of Shanghai, because he wanted to promote education in Shanghai, influence the people of the four yi, and use his kindness to be the four seas and spread the prestige of the Qing Dynasty in all directions. ”

Hearing this, Yinzhen couldn't help but suddenly become enlightened, Fang Bao's speculation was very reasonable, with Kangxi's temperament, he would not play those little tricks and influence Siyi, but it may not be, borrowing the taste of a group of Nanyang businessmen to transform the Han people in Nanyang is Kangxi's main purpose.

Since the conquest of Taiwan, the Han people gathered in Nanyang have become a problem for Kangxi, and historically, Kangxi's ban on the sea in his later years was mainly aimed at this, fearing that Nanyang would become the second base against the Qing Dynasty. The total number of Han people living in Nanyang should be around hundreds of thousands, and with the development of navigation technology, it is reasonable for Kangxi to be worried.

Thinking of this, Yinzhen couldn't help but wonder slightly, did Kangxi have the intention of confronting the South China Sea when he allowed the construction of an ocean-going fleet? Compared with the conquest of Japan, Kangxi is afraid that he is more inclined to the conquest of the South Seas. It's not that it's not impossible, Kangxi fought in the south and north all his life, and his desire for land and conquest may only be worse than Genghis Khan, not to mention that Nanyang also has a potential threat to the Qing Dynasty.

If Kangxi really has this intention, then there is no need to cover up the expedition to Nanyang, with Kangxi's support, it will be easy to take Nanyang.

For the situation in Nanyang, Yinzhen has been in Shanghai for three years, and has a general understanding through Zhang Yuanlong and other merchants who run Nanyang trade, and now the British tentacles have just extended to Nanyang, and they still lack control over Nanyang, and the main opponents in Nanyang are still the Netherlands and Spain.

Spain's influence in the South Seas is not large, mainly in the Philippines, but it is the most hateful, and has united with the indigenous Filipinos in Manila to carry out several large-scale massacres of the Chinese. The Netherlands is not a good thing either, and in Garoba, present-day Jakarta, the Chinese are also exploited.

Thinking of Manila, Yinzhen unconsciously thought of Fengshan in Taiwan, where the dog port is a springboard to Manila, and the construction of the military port has Shi Shiyu, so don't worry too much, but the development of Fengshan is difficult to see results for a while, and Xu Shizhen should also receive the appointment of Fengshan County, I don't know if I have started.

Taiwan, Fengshan County, Dagou Port.

The winter in Tainan is not cold, as soon as the sun comes out, it will be warm, Song Yongqing, the magistrate of Fengshan, is very comfortable with a few long entourages on the wharf, although it is only the fifth day of the first month, but the wharf is already crowded, and the hungry people of Fujian who build the port wharf are full of enthusiasm and busy.

This group of hungry people came from Fujian in October last year, Song Yongqing selected a young and strong laborer from each family to work at the wharf, and the fourteenth elder brother was merciful and generous, and the food and wages received by only one young man in January were enough to ensure that the family lived without worry. These young families took advantage of the winter to clear the wasteland so that they could cultivate in the spring, and in the summer, the hungry people could be self-sufficient.

Last year, as many as 30,000 hungry people moved to Fengshan, more than 160,000 people, the whole port is now busy, Fujian Navy Admiral Shi Shiyu almost every month to personally inspect the progress of the port construction, Dagou Port also added an additional battalion of sailors, Fujian those big men also took great care of these migrated hungry people, all kinds of materials as if they did not need money, a boatload of ships.

These materials, the fourteenth elder brother left a special supervision of the transfer of the guard, although the county government masters, scribes, and officials are quite resigned, but no one dares to fill their pockets, which makes Song Yongqing save a lot of heart, but also happy, his three-year term is over, the performance appraisal is also outstanding, the appointment of the Yanqing Zhizhou has already come down, and now he is waiting for the new county magistrate to deliver, and he can take office.

Since receiving the promotion order, Song Yongqing took his entourage to Dagou Port every once in a while, which is now the most densely populated and busiest place in Fengshan County, and the progress of the project is tight, and Shi Shiyu attaches great importance to it, so he does not dare to take it lightly.

He is over-moving, naturally he doesn't want to make any mistakes before leaving, and it is naturally best to have a beginning and an end, so he can go to his new post in a glamorous and decent manner. According to the normal situation, the new magistrate will take office, most likely in early February, thinking of the new magistrate, he is a little jealous in his heart, the same is Zhuo Yi, this Xu Shizhen gave the same knowledge of the five products, which is one level higher than him.

Although Xu Shizhen's actual job is still the county, but the current Fengshan County is not comparable to ordinary large counties, Song Yongqing knows very well in his heart that the prosperity of Fengshan County is already in the blink of an eye, just look at the scale of the port under construction, if it is selected by him, he would rather stay in Fengshan County, not to mention, the officials who are now going to Taiwan can also bring their families.

Sure enough, there are people in the court who are good officials, this Xu Shizhen is not leaning on the fourteenth elder brother, how can he have this good luck? Song Yongqing looked at the busy wharf with some reluctance. One of the long eyes was sharp, and he saw three black spots on the sea from a distance, and hurriedly reported: "Master, a ship is coming." ”

Song Yongqing covered the sun with his hands, opened his eyes and looked, sure enough, there were three small black spots, he didn't care, since the Fengshan moved more than 100,000 hungry people, there were more ships, most of them were merchant ships selling daily necessities, today is the fifth day of the first month, these merchant ships crossed the sea, it seems that it is not easy to make money.

After walking around the dock again, and seeing that everything was in order, Song Yongqing wanted to leave to return to the county office, but a chief looked at it with open eyes, and said with some surprise: "Master, the three ships that came are all sailors' warships." ”

Warship? Song Yongqing frowned slightly, how could the warship of the Fujian Navy come to Fengshan at this time? This is only the fifth day of the first month, he looked at it suspiciously, it is indeed the warship of the sailor, and the body shape is still the largest one, could it be that the commander of the sailor, Shi Shiyu, is here again? He hurriedly ordered, "Go, go to the dock to meet you." ”

The three ships were indeed the ships of the Admiral of the Fujian Navy, Shi Shiyu was standing at the bow at this time, and next to him was Xu Shizhen, the new magistrate of Fengshan County.

Although Kangxi has already made a will, fully open Taiwan, coastal people can freely move into Taiwan, but the coastal area has not yet spread, Xu Shizhen on the 29th of the lunar month to Xiamen by boat, the boat boss on the pretext that the ship has a problem and needs to be repaired, dead or alive refused to cross the sea, Xu Shizhen had no choice but to find the Fujian Navy Admiral Shi Shiyu for help.

Shi Shiwei left him in Xiamen for the New Year, and only then did he personally send him to Fengshan to take office, first, Shi Shiyu had to report to Yinzhen every month on the progress of the construction of Dagou Port, and secondly, Xu Shizhen was newly appointed as the commander of Fengshan County, and he also had to greet the officers and soldiers of the battalion of the Navy Division stationed in Dagou Port.

The boat docked at the wharf, and Song Yongqing, the county magistrate who had been waiting at the wharf, and Wang Zhijun, the commander of the sailor battalion, and others greeted him, and after a salute, Shi Shiyu pulled Xu Shizhen and said loudly: "This is the new Fengshan County Governor Xu Shizhen, Lord Xu, is the fourteenth master, Prince Xun personally named the Fengshan County Commander, and you must fully assist Lord Xu in the future, have you heard clearly?" ”

Shi Shiyu, as the admiral of the Fujian Navy Division, is a member of the first grade, and he personally sent Xu Shizhen, a small magistrate, to take up the post, and introduced it so ceremoniously, mentioning everyone, this Lord Xu is the confidant of the fourteenth elder brother, Song Yongqing is jealous and jealous, and the military attachés such as Wang Zhijun of the capital division are all awe-inspiring in their hearts, and they are busy stepping forward to salute.

Xu Shizhen saw Shi Shiyu lifting him up like this, his face was swollen and red, he hurriedly returned the salute one by one, bowed to Shi Shiyu again, got up and said: "Shi Junmen is loved, and the lower officials are terrified, and they will work together with all of you to build the dog port as soon as possible." ”

After seeing the ceremony, Wang Zhijun said: "Junmen, it's not early, do you want to go to the city to eat and rest, and then inspect the progress of the dock tomorrow?" ”

Shi Shiyu said: "You go to the city to arrange, this governor will first inspect the progress of the project, and today is for Lord Xu to catch the wind, and it will be more abundant." ”

"Commanded by humility." Wang Zhijun bowed and replied.

"Lord Wang, slow down." Song Yongqing saw a rare opportunity, and hurriedly said to Shi Shiyu and the others: "Today, Shi Junmen and Lord Xu came together, and the lower officials have not delivered it for a day, and they will be the landlords for one day, so it should be the friendship of the landlords by the lower officials." ”

Shi Shiyu has been here a few times and dealt with him, and when he thought that Xu Shizhen would also have to deal with him, he smiled and said: "Since Lord Song is kindly invited, let's bother Lord Song for a seat." ”
