Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 170 The Crown Prince's Banner in the Harbor

Xiangshan Port has deep water and clear water. Originally, this area was mostly fishermen who made a living at sea. However, the Qing government's sea relocation order completely changed this situation.Fishermen who had no livelihood other than fishing for the sea were forcibly taken away. Many fishermen who resisted the move were even massacred. After experiencing a tragedy, there were no longer any residents living around Xiangshan Port.

The sea relocation order was mainly implemented in the four provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong. Fujian suffered the most, but Zhejiang was also severely affected.The Qing government established coastal boundaries, and no one was allowed to approach, let alone live, anywhere outside the boundaries.Ships, outside houses, and even all facilities for human activities were burned down, and all castles used for coastal defense were demolished.Anyone who crosses the boundary will be killed regardless of whether they are far or near.Wherever the border was moved, houses and land were all burned or abandoned. Just as a later American president with hair like cornstarch wanted to build a wall on the border, the Tatars also set up a large number of barriers to prevent coastal residents from going to the sea.A large number of people who moved to the border abandoned the land and properties managed by their ancestors and had to leave their hometowns and even live in the wild. It is generally believed that the number of people who died during the migration was "in the hundreds of thousands".

In this time and space, although Zheng Chenggong is no longer the main object of defense of the Qing court, the powerful navy of Bai Mingxiu's department has aroused greater attention from the Qing court, and the implementation of the sea-moving order has become more stringent, which has also caused more damage.

However, in Xiangshan Port, there are still some people's activities. They are not ordinary people, but the rebel army against the Qing Dynasty. The leader is naturally Zhang Huangyan.

Later generations believed that Nanming had two desirable civil servants in terms of political strategy, one was Du Yinxi who "returned to Chu and Baoxu cried, where to hang the wasteland", and the other was "to win the same fruit as the lonely minister, and to keep righteousness in the universe". "Zhang Huang said Zhang Cangshui.

"Gebu, the sea breeze is biting, you just recovered from your illness, so don't catch a cold." Yang Guanyu, the book boy, cared.

Zhang Huangyan waved his hands and said, "It's just autumn now, the weather is very hot, and the sea breeze can cool it down, and it's stuffy in the room all day, and I can't express my feelings, so I have to go out and take a look."

Looking at the magnificent sea, he said: "The rivers and mountains are beautiful, how can they be reduced to fishy smell!"

Yang Guanyu said: "His Royal Highness the Prince has restored the five southern provinces. The hearts of the righteous people in the world are aroused. The great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty is bound to be promising."

Zhang Huangyan was also heartbroken, and he said: "Everyone says that Prince Cixuan is talented and courageous. The prince ruled the south of the Five Ridges, and the Cantonese people on the boats all praised him as a virtuous monarch. I wish I could relieve the prince's worries and troubles. It's just that Jiangnan's volunteers are also of great importance, and they must gather volunteers for His Highness, and one day when they return to Jiangnan, they will be deployed."

Yang Guanyu also comforted his husband: "The crown prince can return to five provinces in less than a year, and maybe in a year or two, my master of the Ming Dynasty will be able to arrive in the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, the husband will definitely be able to return to Jiangning and comfort his life."

Zhang Huangyan sighed: "The Qing army has hoarded heavy troops in Huguang and Fujian. Your Highness must first relieve the oppression of the Qing army in these two places, and then accumulate strength and recruit powerful soldiers. It will take a year after all."

Speaking of which, the reason why Zhang Huangyan likes to come to the beach is not because he really wants to blow the sea breeze when he looks at the sea.Since Bai Mingxiu pacified Guangdong, he often sent ships to Zhejiang to communicate with Zhang Huangyan.When the Guangdong boat came here, it would not only provide some supplies and even weapons and ammunition to Zhang Huangyan's rebel army, but also convey to Zhang Huangyan what happened in Guangdong.

The items handed over to Zhang Huangyan included the following types. One was a personal letter written by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to show his kindness and honor; There are all sorts of miscellaneous newspapers and periodicals.

When he first came into contact with various newspapers, Zhang Huangyan felt very novel, but soon Zhang Huangyan immediately realized the beauty of newspapers.After all, there is a lack of information in this era. It is not easy for scholars to read, and a family with a huge collection of books is even more respected.The flow of information is limited, small and slow.

But newspapers and magazines turned everything upside down. Every time a newspaper was delivered from Guangdong, Zhang Huangyan couldn't put it down.From the explanations and advocacy of various decrees promulgated by the Legislative Council, the feedback of some public opinion among the people, and even the various new ideas explained by the "great Confucian" Ma En in the "National Voice" magazine, later there were various scholars, including Wang Fuzhi. Such celebrities began to discuss their studies on it, which made Zhang Huangyan attach great importance to it.

Zhang Huangyan even took newspapers and magazines to make reading notes every day. He would copy down the important content, study it repeatedly, and then write down some experience and opinions.Recently, Zhang Huangyan has started to contribute articles to newspapers and magazines in reverse.

Zhang Huangyan still praised newspapers and periodicals in his letter to Bai Mingxiu: "...Newspapers and magazines are published from time to time, and spread among the people. Even scholars and court leaders, promote education to the people, open up the way of speaking, gain insight into the people's sentiments, and do good governance that has never been seen in ancient times. also."

Trapped on the coast of Zhejiang, he felt very lonely and lonely. Only through these methods did Zhang Huangyan feel that he still had a little sense of participation in the great event of anti-Qing and restoring Ming Dynasty.So Zhang Huangyan would come to the beach from time to time, expecting to see ships from Guangdong docking here.

The two stood for a while, Yang Guanyu persuaded: "Minister, it's getting late, let's go back."

Zhang Huangyan didn't wait for the boat to come again today, he was a little dejected, and nodded in response.

But just when they were about to leave, Zhang Huangyan looked at the sea level and seemed to see the shadow of the sail.

"Hey, Guanyu, look, is there a boat over there?"

Yang Guanyu originally wanted to say that Master Gebu was overwhelmed by his eagerness, but when he looked around, he seemed to really see the shadow of the boat.

After a while, the sail shadow became clearer and even denser.

Yang Guanyu exclaimed: "So many ships!"

Zhang Huangyan became agitated, "Did you see that it was my Ming flag, and it was a navy sent by Guangdong, oh no, it is called the navy now. With so many ships, the prince must have sent people to Zhejiang to help My righteous teacher resisted the Qing Dynasty."

"That ship...is so big!" Yang Guanyu saw clearly the first huge ship, with a pitch-black hull that looked mighty and domineering.

When the ship got closer to the harbor and was about to go ashore, Zhang Huangyan had already seen clearly the flag on the huge ship with a pitch-black hull - Prince of Ming Dynasty Jian Guozhu.

"The banner of the prince is the banner of the prince!" Zhang Huangyan could no longer calm down. He never expected that Zhu Cixuan, the prince's supervisor, whom he had always wanted to meet in his dreams, actually led the Ming Dynasty naval fleet to Zhejiang and appeared in the harbor in front of him. Among them, this made him suspect that what he saw was a mirage.
