Shacheng means an open beach in the Minnan dialect. It was originally a desolate place with only beaches and hills and few people. However, it is rich in fishery products and is also a good haven in eastern Fujian. For hundreds of years, Zhangzhou, Quan and other places
Fishermen from the province continued to sail here to catch fish, take shelter from the wind and rest, and gradually settled down and settled down, forming a huge village. Immigration like this in Zhangquan is a very common phenomenon, and Ruan Jin’s grandfather was one of them, but he did not have it at that time.
Instead of choosing Shacheng, Funing, I chose Fuqing, Fuzhou to settle down.
Shacheng is a famous port in eastern Fujian. There are mountains outside the port and the river between the two mountains is like a gate. It is not only isolated from the wind and waves, but also easy to control and defend. The water in the port is deep and flat, so there is no wind and waves, and the water surface for ships sails is quite stable.
Huang Chen stood on the deck and couldn't help but look around, secretly feeling pity in his heart. Mr. Zhou Zhou didn't know how to run a business. Sitting in such a feng shui treasure land, why should he care about the small profits of fishermen? Pirates are pirates, and they only know about robbery all day long.
Reporting water has no technical content at all. If it were him, he would definitely develop Shacheng into a smuggling port, go to Japan and Southeast Asia, and earn a fortune in a few years.
Huang Chen's thoughts surged for a moment, and in a blink of an eye the fleet arrived at the port. The water in Shacheng Port was deep, reef-free, and had no siltation for a long time. It was also very wide and could accommodate thousands of ships to dock at the same time.
On Wednesday, the old ship raised a flag and signaled Huang Chen to follow it to the port. Huang Chen smiled coldly and thought, do you think I am an idiot? On the grounds that the port was crowded with ships, he led his ships to berth at Lianhua Island in the harbor. Lotus
As the name suggests, Lianhua Island is like a lotus floating on the sea surface. Huang Chen had asked Ruan Jin before that Lianhua Island is one of the few places in Shacheng where large ships can berth, and his reason makes sense.
When Zhou Lao saw Huang Chen leading the boat to dock at Lianhua Island on Wednesday, he was immediately stunned and couldn't recover for a long time. Before setting off, he had no murderous intention, and Huang Chen had no scruples to go ashore. Now that he has murderous intention, Huang Chen refuses to go ashore again.
, could he be the roundworm in his stomach?
Mr. Zhou Zhou walked out of the boat with a gloomy look on his face, filled with murderous intent. The people who greeted him on the shore were so frightened that they all stopped smiling and held their breaths. Mr. Zhou Zhou was in an extremely bad mood at this moment and had no intention of speaking. He reluctantly said "Yeah" and passed the crowd.
They walked straight to their residence. The leaders of Shacheng were all stunned on the spot, looking horrified. They didn't know what they had done wrong, which made Mr. Zhou feel dissatisfied.
Zuo Xianfeng patted one person on the shoulder and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, don't think nonsense."
The man asked curiously: "Zuo Xianfeng, who made the big leader unhappy?"
Fan Langjiao smiled dryly and said: "Huang Liu from Dachen Mountain is a young boy, you don't know him."
The man was greatly surprised. The leader's power spanned both Fujian and Zhejiang. He was one of the most powerful heroes on the sea. Why would a young boy offend the leader? He said, "Zuo Xianfeng, do you need me to chop him up?"
To vent your anger on the big leader?"
Fan Langjiao laughed dryly again and said: "If you have the ability to chop Huang Liu, I will let you be the left pioneer."
"..."
"Bang Dang", "Bang Dang" Zhou Laoyi smashed several tea bowls one after another when he checked in. Still unable to calm down, he roared angrily: "Huang Liuzi! I'm going to peel off your skin, twitch your tendons, and drink your
Blood! I’m so angry! I have been traveling on the sea for more than ten years on Wednesday. What kind of storms and waves have I not experienced? Everyone who opposes me has been fed to the bastards. How can I not cure you, a child with a yellow mouth?" Zhou Zhou was like a quilt.
The completely enraged Bull paced back and forth in the room, and after a while he roared: "Huang Liu, do you think you can make me feel scrupulous just by having a few broken boats under your command? What a joke! I would rather kill you if I don't have the boats!"
"..." Several people in the room couldn't help but look at each other. Mr. Zhou was irritable, but that was in the past. In recent years, the development of our own power can be summed up in four words: smooth sailing. There are few things that can make Mr. Zhou angry, like this.
This is the first time in recent years...
Zhou Zhoulao sat back in his seat, panting heavily and asked several people: "I want to kill Huang Liu'er, what do you think?"
Li Junji glanced around and spoke first: "Huang Chen's refusal to go ashore has obviously seen through our thoughts. I have already said that he should not be treated as an ordinary boy. He is a greater threat to us than Wang Fengwu. No matter how brave Wang Fengwu is, he is nothing more than nothing."
A common man, Huang Chen, is different. He is very scheming at a young age and difficult to fathom. I agree with the chief’s opinion that this son cannot be kept any longer, even if he pays a certain price. Shacheng is the best among us and the best at the same time.
If the last opportunity to strike is missed, this man may turn to Zheng Zhilong when he arrives in Taiwan to protect his family and life, and then it will be difficult for us to kill him again."
Zhou Lao nodded repeatedly.
Ye Fu hated Huang Chen deeply in his heart, but did not agree with Li Junji's remarks, and retorted: "How dare Huang Liu invest, how dare Zheng Zhilong accept it? Just to offend a big leader for a mere Huang Liu, Zheng Zhilong would never do such a loss-making business given his temperament as a merchant.
.Not to mention that Huang Liu and his family are all in Dachen Mountain, and their life and death are in our hands. Are we afraid that he will turn the world upside down?"
After hearing what Ye Fu said, Mr. Zhou's firm heart hesitated again, and he turned to glance at Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou pondered for a moment, and said with a smile like a flower: "Uncle, I think Mr. Ye is right. We have a hostage in our hands, which is like putting a rope around Huang Chen's neck. He can escape the first day of the junior high school, but he cannot escape the fifteenth day."
, we will have to go ashore when we reach Taiwan. When the time comes, we can find any reason to kill him and annex his ship without any effort. There is no need to fight him to death here."
Zhou Lao frowned in thought.
Li Junji looked at Mrs. Zhou in surprise. The two rarely had serious differences of opinion. He didn't believe that Mrs. Zhou's intelligence could not see Huang Chen's threat. Why would she do this?
Mrs. Zhou's spirited eyes squinted at Li Junji, the corners of her mouth curved in a beautiful arc, and her smile was thought-provoking.
Li Junji narrowed his eyes slightly, thoughtfully.
Old Zhou Zhou gave a heavy sigh and said: "I will allow Huang Liu'er to live for a few more days. When he falls into my hands, I will let him have a taste of my methods."
"..."
Mrs. Zhou stepped on the lotus steps and left the lobby, opened the bedroom door, and a light fragrance came in. Although she had not been there for several months, the furnishings in the boudoir were still as neat as new. Mrs. Zhou walked to the dressing table and sat down.
, I pulled out the gold and jade hairpins on my head against the bronze mirror. The black hair like splashing ink fell down, and the black eyebrows that flew into the temples were half covered by the hair. The heroic spirit was no longer, but a little weak.
Mrs. Zhou slowly opened the makeup box, and a pair of blood-stained scissors came into view. Seeing it, Mrs. Zhou subconsciously stroked her left neck and between the clavicle. After a while, she reached over the scissors and took out a golden nanmu comb.
Gently combing her three-foot long black hair.
Huang Chen didn't know what happened in the lobby. In order to prevent Mr. Zhou from sneaking in, he didn't dare to close his eyes all night. At dawn, he lay down on the bed and took a nap for an hour or two.
Lao Zhou was not in Shacheng for a long time. He stayed for two days to deal with trivial matters, and then set off for Taiwan again on the third day.
After sailing at sea for several days, we finally arrived at Bengang, Zheng Zhilong's nest. Bengang, also known as Jingang and Beigang, is located in the southwest of Taiwan. Yuan Jin and Li Zhong, the former leaders of Yimu Lao and Hu Erlao, used this place as a sea port to set up a water village to catch fish.
They farmed the fields and were self-sufficient. In the past ten years, they had rampaged across the Fujian Sea and were unable to be controlled by officers and soldiers. Later, Yuan Jin and Li Zhong were recruited by the court and went north to Denglai to fight against the Hou Jin Dynasty. Once Taiwan lost its law, the great gunmen, Wo Penglao and others rose up one after another.
, each ruled the roost, but the outsider Zheng Zhilong had the last laugh.
Today's Bengang has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the times of Yuan Jin and Li Zhong. It is more than ten times more lush. It is not so much the work of Zheng Zhilong as it is the work of the Dutch. Since the Dutch took over Tainan, Zhangzhou
, it is quite convenient for Quan merchants to take advantage of the northeast monsoon to go south to the Dutch in autumn and winter, but the return journey is more troublesome and can easily be blown south by the headwind. Therefore, they must go north along the coast to Bengang, then turn from Bengang to Penghu, and then return from Penghu
Zhang, Quan. As an important transit point for bilateral trade between the Ming Dynasty and the Netherlands, Bengang benefited a lot from it and quickly evolved from a small fishing village into a prosperous town.
