According to the narration mode of history textbooks, when talking about the outbreak of the Jiajing and Japanese Rebellion, we must first talk about its background and fuse.

The background is simple: in order to monopolize overseas trade, the big coastal families pushed the imperial court to ban the sea. For this reason, they exaggerated, and even fabricated some news of the invasion of the Japanese invaders, but they waited for a person.

Zhu Kun.

This Suzhou native became a jinshi in the sixteenth year of Zhengde, and served as the official of Jingzhou Zhizhou, Kaizhou Zhizhou, Nanjing Criminal Department member Wailang, Sichuan military envoy, and Guangdong political envoy. In the fifteenth year of Jiajing, he served as the Sichuan military envoy and cooperated with the deputy commander-in-chief He Qing to quell the rebellion. In the twenty-fifth year of Jiajing, he was promoted to the right deputy capital of the imperial history. In the following year, he was appointed as the commander of the military affairs of Fujian and Zhejiang coastal defense.

He did not have the sour spirit of a weak scholar, nor did he have the slightest gentleness of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. And his most amazing record is the breakthrough of Shuangyu Port.

Shuangyu Port was named Liuheng Island in later generations, and it is a very inconspicuous one in the Zhoushan Islands. However, in the Jiajing era, it was suspended in the ocean, with a superior geographical location, surrounded by mountains and seas, easy for ships to enter and exit in concealment, and it became the largest trading port on the East China Sea.

The entire island was operated by maritime merchants or pirates for 20 years, receiving commercial goods from the mainland, loading them onto ocean-going ships, and then unloading overseas goods and silver, and then transshipment inland, through a well-developed transportation network, infiltrating Nanzhi, Jiangxi, and even Huguang.

Before the fall of the island, there were 3,000 permanent inhabitants, of whom 1,200 were Portuguese. There are not only red Western-style buildings on the whole island, but also a large number of bright houses with black tiles with flying eaves, and the more than 40-mile-long Kuanping ancient road in Shuangyu has no grass, which shows that there are many people and goods.

Pinto, a Portuguese who was a merchant, described in his travelogue that there were "thousands of houses, including churches, hospitals, etc.", and his contemporaries also wrote that the maritime merchants were "so free" in Shuangyu. "Nothing but gallows and market logos".

This World Trade Center at that time was destroyed overnight by Zhu Kun with 2,000 troops.

After the war, Zhu Kun ordered all the houses on the shore and the ships in the port to be burned, and blocked the channel into the port with sunken ships, wood and stones.

After that, the capable Zhu Kun took advantage of the victory to pursue. Wave his army into Fujian and continue to chase and kill the fleeing maritime merchants. After capturing Huyu in Fujian, he won a great victory in Zoumaxi and captured more than 100 Chinese and Portuguese maritime merchants.

After several great victories, Zhu Kun wrote with great ambition in the recital: "The whole Fujian coastal defense is a thousand miles away. ”

After the pockets of the sea ban became stricter and stricter, and the methods became more and more brutal, the subverted maritime lair turned into a huge hornet's nest, after being poked away. Out of nowhere, tens of thousands of "Japanese pirates" quickly poured out, and "hundreds of ships and ships came across the sea," causing "thousands of miles along the coast to warn at the same time," setting off a monstrous wave of Jiajing's great pirates.

As a result, Zhu Kun was impeached and killed by Fujian and Zhejiang officials, and he committed suicide because he refused to be humiliated. However, the southeastern rebellion that began as a result totaled 609 times in the fifteen years after the 31st year of Jiajing. It accounts for eighty percent of the entire Ming Dynasty Japanese invasion records.

"Nowadays, there is no leader in Haike, and the goods are shipped and imported in scattered private ports everywhere. Don't they want a distribution port like Shuangyu? Coastal people. Fishermen and fishermen are not enough to build their families, so they are counting on the benefits of trade, and they do not want to rebuild Shuangyu? It's a big demand, but it's also people. Xu Yuanzuo said.

Kang Pengzu was in the family, and although he would not get confidential information from the maritime merchants, he only needed to listen to the old people's dictation. Knowing that the family is thriving and the income is getting richer, it can be seen that the overseas trade has not been suppressed after the pacification of the Japanese invaders, and there are more signs of ferocity in the past two years.

-- At this time, if you can open a port. That's the cashier lying down!

- Ahem! Wrong! It's not about making money, it's about making a life for the people! Destiny!

Kang Pengzu corrected his understanding and sublimated his soul.

People who really stand on the front line of maritime trade know how huge the jobs brought by the entire maritime trade chain are!

In Zhejiang Province alone, there are hundreds of thousands of direct jobs such as sailors and porters. The petty traders who support their livelihoods, the porters of inland transportation, which are derivative jobs, are more than ten times more numerous. If you look deeper, there are countless new handicraft workshops because of sea trade.

Huguang and other places are maturely developed, and the original "Suzhou and Hangzhou are ripe, the world is full" has already become "Huguang is ripe, the world is full". Since grain is not a problem, we should not confine the good labor force to the land, otherwise it will only create cheap grain and hurt the peasants.

These truths are all said by predecessors.

Kang Pengzu's mind spun around, his breath gradually subsided, and he sincerely believed that Xu Yuanzuo really wanted to make a life for the people, rather than a superficial pursuit of profit.

"Although people are available, and the location can be found, they are fashionable and insufficient." Xu Yuanzuo sighed.

"Dare to ask the sky." Kang Pengzu said respectfully.

"There are no of our people on the side of the Heavenly Family, there are no of our people for the princes of the court, and there are no of our people for patrolling the sea and the city." Xu Yuanzuo said: "If this important task is handed over to those who value profit over righteousness, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a second Zhu Xuan forbidden sea." Brother Chang Sheng should know why the imperial court sent Zhu Su into the forbidden sea in Zhejiang, right? ”

Kang Pengzu's face turned red. He is a scholar who is obsessed with poetry, where do you know so many court allusions.

"Just about to ask for advice." He said.

Xu Yuanzuo almost choked, and said simply: "It's the Yuyao Xie family's bloody case." ”

In the era when the powerful monopolized the sea trade, the coastal clans could be said to turn their hands into clouds and rain with their hands.

Because seafarers can only replenish their stock through them.

As the upstream of the industrial chain, the supplier who occupies a dominant position in the relationship between supply and demand, it is natural that these greedy people despise and treat maritime merchants harshly.

Yuyao Xie has gone a little far on this road.

Xie Shi took the goods of the maritime merchant and refused to pay, which was like a robber. They also relied on some people in the DPRK and China to threaten to go to the government to report the facts of the maritime merchants' crimes, which can be described as shameless.

The maritime merchant couldn't swallow this breath, turned into a pirate, washed the Xie manor, and plundered away.

When it landed, it caused a shock in Shilin, and the powerful things hurt it, and it happened to be a good material for the forbidden sea, so it was naturally necessary to publicize it with great fanfare.

It's just that they don't know that Zhu Kun was sent down from above.

Then there was the Battle of Pingyu, where there was no smoke in the thousands of miles of coastal defense, and the sea trade was almost isolated for more than ten years.

If the powerful families at that time were informed of the subsequent developments, I am afraid that they themselves would exterminate the Xie clan and cover up the news.

"So, if we didn't take this lead ourselves, we would rather not do it." Xu Yuanzuo said: "If you believe in a person who is not human, and you brew the second big widow, you and I are both sinners." ”

Kang Pengzu has already understood.

Two of the three heavenly hours that are missing are Xu Yuanchun's entry into the court, and Kang Pengzu's sword Dongming.

As for the one hidden in the middle and the center, it is naturally Xu Yuanzuo who controls the trade routes. (To be continued......)
