Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2180 Flower Controversy (88)
Nan'ao General Military Mansion is located on an island not far from Shantou. It governs the naval military in southern Fujian, Taiwan and the East Guangdong Sea. There is a big banyan tree in the General Military Mansion. It is said that Zheng Chenggong once recruited troops to recover Taiwan under this tree. Therefore, it is called the "recruitment tree", and there is a stone tablet next to it, with the words "Fujian and Guangdong border" written on it. At that time, it was the subordinates of the Fujian-Macao General Soldier who fired cannons on the South Fort to drive away the pirates.

Crossing this island means entering Fujian. At the same time, the admiral also got a piece of good news from the South Australia General Soldier. There are no rampant pirates in the waters of Fujian. The pirates who attacked their fleet may have come from the South China Sea.In order to eliminate Zheng Chenggong and Nanming forces, the Qing government strengthened the defense along the coast of Fujian. Pirates did not dare to come, and Japanese pirates were rare in the early Qing Dynasty.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's sword hunting order prevented farmers from owning weapons. Even if a peasant uprising broke out, they only had sickles and hoes.

Litigation of sedan chairs is a litigation method in which farmers will stop the sedan chairs of Laozhong, Fengxing or feudal lords to submit complaints. This method of litigation can only be used when direct appeals to the lords are not adopted.For the peasants, the uprising is a one-time desperate act. Because of this, the peasant uprising is different from the usual high-spirited and frenzied. If there are other channels to obtain justice, they are willing to try.

When the Kanei famine occurred, some daimyos not only did not provide disaster relief, but added grants at this time. For example, the 40 koku daimyo Kato Akishige of the Aizu Domain in the northeast, in order to increase the annual tribute rate, let the land with no stone height pay grain, and Various tax orders were added, and Kanei's 19-year harvest failure happened to break out here, and the people in Inawashiro, Iwase and other areas had to go into exile.

Those who can escape famine first flee, and those who cannot escape will look for opportunities. In the 20th year of Kanei, Kato returned to his hometown due to illness. Before the new feudal lord Hoshina settled in Aizu, farmers and Ganjian from Yemaro County filed a lawsuit against the shogunate , claiming that Kato increased the stone height without authorization, but the land with only 90 stones claimed to have 300 stones.

This direct complaint occurred at the moment of the handover of the feudal lord, after a large-scale escape.When a poor harvest occurred in Fujian, it was the first place to flee to Siam and Taiwan. Even in the 45th year of Qianlong, when the chief envoy announced the establishment of Changping warehouses in the year of famine, there was no immediate civil uprising.

No one can be sure whether Lin Yuhua's voice was heard by Qianlong, who was busy celebrating his birthday. Compared with pirates, the issue of Fujian's secret society is more worrying.So that when a certain temple is very popular, there are more and more believers, or some sacrificial ceremonies become popular, the officials will write a memorial report to BJ, and the emperor will soon issue an edict, requiring the people to stay in their own county. Claiming that burning incense in a distant place is time-consuming and troublesome, and it is against etiquette, and does not give any chance to illegal alliances, so gradually the "incense burner" has become a symbol of rebellion just like the lotus.

This didn't involve the content of the admiral's investigation. The rest of the journey was much easier. Even if they stayed, it didn't take long, and they arrived in Xiamen soon.

On the opposite side of Xiamen is a small island called "Gulangyu Island". The forts on the island guard the entrance and exit of Xiamen. Even if Japan and Siam are lost, the place is still busy. After the rice and sugar from Taiwan are moved from the ships, these big ships Batch after batch of Fujianese will be shipped to Taiwan.

As long as they can earn money, no matter where their fate pushes them, Fujian people will go outside to make a living. They believe that "hard work will win."

Homeland offers them nothing but an expensive and crowded life, far less comfortable than living outside, but they will still return to their hometown, no matter how far away they are from where they earn their living.

This is actually similar to New England immigrants, but the Atlantic Ocean is not the Taiwan Strait, and the price of the ticket is also much different. Nick knows some people who want to go to the New World, but the price of the ticket makes them unaffordable.

Nick walked around the streets of Xiamen before planning to return to the ship. As the first stop mentioned by the admiral, Xiamen is an insignificant place compared to Guangzhou.There are still post roads on the coastal land from Fuzhou to Zhangzhou, but there are no more roads in Xiamen, only low-grade paved roads.

Captain Yao probably felt that Nick was boring and the rest of the voyage was safe, so he asked him if he would go to Fuzhou with him.

Nick really wanted to go to Mount Wuyi, where the famous black tea was produced, so he asked the admiral to allow him to stay in Fuzhou for a few more days.

The admiral granted Nick's request, but he could not act without authorization in Fuzhou and needed to find a local official to accompany him, so Nick took the admiral's letter of introduction and left Xiamen on Captain Yao's boat.

This was Nick's original plan to travel on a civilian ship, but the equipment on the ship was poor, the comfort was far inferior to that of an official ship, and the sailors had bad habits. They all gambled and smoked drugs.

Smelling the smell of smoke in the closed cabin, he worried that he would be like them, so he spent most of his time on the deck, breathing the fresh air blown by the sea breeze.

Captain Yao brought Captain Hou this time, and together they asked Nick if he knew how to make the "Golden Stone", but Nick couldn't convince them, so he quickly lost his prestige in their eyes.

The boat continued to sail north along the coast, and a few days later passed the Minjiang River and entered Fuzhou Prefecture. The Minjiang River is a very wide river, and its mouth is scattered with many islands. Call it "crocodile" island.

At that time, the largest sailboat could sail along the Minjiang River to Fuzhou Prefecture. Although a lot of business was robbed by the credit card system, Fuzhou Prefecture had already done a lot of trade with Java, Ryukyu, and Japan, exporting silk, linen, and precious stones. , cotton, steel, musk and mercury, imported pepper, sandalwood, ambergris, coral, etc.

After receiving the letter from the admiral, the local official felt that it was his duty to let him have a good time, so he took him to visit the sights in Fuzhou.There are not many ancient buildings in Fuzhou City, and there are not many historical sites. The local people are keen on trading activities and are not interested in humanities.

There is an ancient bridge across the Minjiang River. It was built at a bend outside Fuzhou City. The bridge is 420 steps long and supported by 35 huge granite piers. There are relics of Chinese pavilions on the bridge.Although the ancient bridge can completely rely on its own weight to withstand the turbulent river, the wooden structure on the bridge cannot.

There is a fortress in the south of Fuzhou. If Marshal Vauban and Cohorn saw it, they would be full of praise. It is located on a hill, and the whole hill is covered with lush trees. On the road, there are stone steps between the fortresses, and it will not be difficult to climb to the top of the mountain along the steps.

Looking from the top of the mountain, the surrounding scenery is very beautiful. Barley fields and wheat fields spread out in the Minjiang River Valley, and small gardens are scattered among the rocks. The rich people built mansions outside the city. The best location for the bridge...

Bonaparte sneered.

"What?" Georgiana asked.

"Sure enough, they are French." He picked up the snuff bottle and took a couple of puffs.

She was a little curious about what it was like to snuff, but he dodged it as soon as she reached out.

"I saw women snuffing at parties," she protested.

He mercilessly threw the snuff out the window.

She pouted, unwilling to continue reading.

In the next few days Nick tried hunting and fishing, but he didn't like the cry of the swan when it was dying, thinking it was a blasphemy to Venus's cherished bird.

He has learned a new idiom "Burning the Qin and Cooking the Crane", which describes burning the Qin and boiling the red-crowned cranes, which are considered beautiful things. "Dream of Red Mansions" 89 chapters mentioned the dry tung tree with burnt tail. In "Hou Hanshu", there was a person who used the dry tung tree to cook. Cai Yong knew that it was a good wood by distinguishing the sound of the fire, so he asked for it. Later, a very good lyre was made. Because of the burnt marks on the end, it was called Jiaoweiqin. Later, Jiaowei Kutong was used to praise the good piano.

At that time, Daiyu said to Jia Baoyu, "How many bosom friends can there be in ancient times?"

After hearing this, Baoyu felt that her words were reckless, which would chill Daiyu's heart. After sitting for a while, she seemed to have a lot to say in her heart, but she had nothing to say. Finally she stood up and said embarrassingly, "Sister, sit down, I want you to sit down." Go see the third sister." Daiyu said politely, and then Baoyu left.

When Nick is playing, he will think of the monk who told him to make a piano with charcoal, and the wind chimes made of charcoal. At that time, the Japanese also took him to a beautiful place overlooking Kyoto.

Although there were pastimes to pass the time, Nick still approached the local official and asked to go to Wuyi Mountain. They were already familiar with playing with them these few days, so he asked Nick to wait for a few days.

Nick met the Ryukyu people in the place where he lived, and he realized that he lived in the place where the tribute envoys were received, and the official was also responsible for receiving foreign guests.

He made mental preparations. He hadn't heard of any envoys who could see the tea-making process, but finally he was approved.So an eight oar boat full of food was ready, and they boarded the boat and headed for Chong'an County, Jianning Prefecture, where the famous mountain that Nick had been planning to visit was located.
