The literary giants of the late Ming Dynasty began by copying books

After Wang Wenlong's lecture in Jianning, he originally planned to go all the way to Zhejiang to celebrate the New Year in Zhejiang. However, before he could leave Shouning, Xu Xueju hurriedly called him back to Fuzhou.

This winter, Fujian suffered another major disaster. Xu Xueju was extremely busy, and Wang Wenlong could only rush back to help.

The twenty-ninth year of Wanli has finally arrived.

The most important event in the Ming Dynasty at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty was that Chen Lin led the soldiers to put down the rebellion of the Miao people in Guangxi.

Chen Lin was born in the army. She first made her fortune by fighting pirates in her hometown of Guangdong. She became a commander because of her merits. Then she went to the mountains to suppress bandits and gradually rose to high positions. She spent most of her life fighting in Guangdong and Guangxi until the Wanli War to Aid Korea. He then led the Guangdong soldiers to support North Korea and became the top leader of the navy on the anti-Japanese battlefield.

The famous North Korean general Yi Sun-shin, who was touted to the heavens by the Koreans in later generations, participated in the Noryang naval battle under the leadership of Chen Lin.

During this battle, Yi Sunchen and Chen Lin's general Deng Zilong were responsible for encircling Japan's Shimazu Hiroki to support Konishi Governor's reinforcements.

Deng Zilong, who was over seventy years old, led a boat into the enemy group and was shot and died. Yi Sunchen led his troops to row a boat to plug the hole, but was surrounded by Japanese warships. The shells were flying, and both of them died in the battle.

After that, Chen Lin sent Ming generals Chen Can and Ji Jin to block the hole. After a bloody battle, they finally blocked the way of the Japanese ship and completed the original strategic vision.

The reason why the Battle of Luliang Sea was important was that it completely annihilated Shimazu Hirogi's troops supporting the Japanese army, and cut off the chance of Konishi Yukinacho who wanted to escape across the sea to break out. This gave the land general Magui the opportunity to lead the Ming army in one fell swoop. Yukinaga Konishi made dumplings.

There is no doubt that the Battle of Noryang was fought by Chen Lin. Although the famous North Korean general Yi Sun-shin fought bravely, he was only an officer of the coalition forces under Chen Lin. What is ridiculous is that later generations of Koreans filmed Yi Sun-shin's film and television dramas in order to show the bravery of their own nation's generals. Chen Lin is portrayed as a domineering Chinese villain, but Chen Lin's achievements in combat are not mentioned at all.

After returning from North Korea last year, Chen Lin was transferred to fight against Yang Yinglong. The last team responsible for the sneak attack in Bozhou's attack on Hailongdun was Chen Lin and the personal soldiers of General Wu Guang. Chen Lin, who was in his sixties, personally led the attack with his soldiers.

The Battle of Bozhou had just ended, and after only two months of rest, Chen Lin was immediately transferred to fight Pilin again.

However, the opponent in this war in Pilin, Guangxi was too simple. Chen Lin set out in the first month of the year and put down the rebellion before the first month was over.

Then Chen Lin stayed in Guangxi and never left. She told the court that she wanted to frighten the local Miao people. In fact, her main purpose was to make money.

This is his second characteristic. Chen Lin is a thief who can fight, but he also likes to make money. As early as more than ten years ago, when he became a general, he put down the Luopan Mountain rebellion and obtained the first territory. Make money by sitting on the ground.

There are various methods. For example, Chen Lin believed in Buddhism and built a temple in Dong'an. He also arrested his soldiers to work for free, and even blackmailed them to contribute money to build the temple, which directly forced a mutiny. Several prefectures and counties in Dong'an were invaded by the rebel army. Burned and killed, Chen Lin was impeached by the imperial censor, but he later escaped by paying bribes.

Chen Lin was dismissed from office many times in his life, mostly because of corruption. He went to North Korea to supervise the navy and was ordered to blockade the ports of Chungcheong, Jeolla, and Gyeongsang to prevent Japanese supply ships from entering.

Originally, the Ming army was very weak in blocking the Korean coast because the soldiers were timid, but Chen Lin's method was to directly indulge in looting all Japanese ships, and he and his soldiers distributed what they grabbed in proportion.

After Chen Lin used this method, his men simply risked their lives. Whether they were Korean ships or Japanese ships, as long as they were not official ships of the Ming Dynasty, they all robbed him. This solved the problem of the Ming army's inability to block the coastline, and the Guangdong soldiers were still able to earn money. A lot. Chen Lin did the same thing when he conquered Bozhou. Ming history records that he sent people to the home of the general Li Hualong to bribe him. Li Hualong was a Jinshi and his father was also a famous local scholar. He hated this behavior. As a result, as soon as Chen Lin's envoy arrived at Li Hualong's house, he encountered another general, "Liu Dadao" Liu Wei. The soldiers sent by Liu Wei to deliver gifts were kicked out by Li Hualong's father. Chen Lin's envoy ran away immediately after seeing him.

Later, Li Hualong went to the imperial court to impeach Liu Wei, but Chen Lin escaped.

However, this time Chen Lin stayed in Guangxi and was able to do a lot of good things in the local area. He stayed there because he was here for the local emperor. In addition, he was a Cantonese, so he moved a large number of his descendants to the Yunnan-Guizhou area of ​​Guangxi and worked hard He planted trees and cultivated a team of Miao people, which played a great role in the local Sinicization of Guangxi and is known as the "first pioneering achievement" in history.

Decades later, when the Qing Dynasty entered the country, Emperor Yongli fled to Qingyuan. Chen Lin's grandson Chen Maoxiu also led his Langyao soldiers to Qinwang, and was finally captured and sacrificed in Dong'an.

The victory in Guangxi is good news, but it cannot affect the weather this year. If last year we had to wait until summer and autumn before we realized that the weather was wrong, then this year there will be no good weather from the beginning of the year.

The climate impact of last year's South American volcanic eruption became more and more obvious. In the spring, disasters were reported in Sichuan, Huguang, Yunnan and Guizhou, and even Hainan began to snow. The imperial court could only reduce or reduce the additional land tax in these places. Before February, Datong and Xuanfu Refugees appear.

The situation in Fujian is slightly better, but it cannot be called optimistic. The disaster relief for the Zhao'an earthquake last year had just ended, and the people who returned to the land found that the weather was surprisingly cold.

In this regard, Wang Wenlong could only try his best to help Xu Xueju, and the propaganda machine of "Xun Bao" was fully activated, calling on everyone to save food and famine.

At the same time as the natural disaster, maritime trade became more and more prosperous. During the opening season of Fujian this year, Fuzhou Prefecture was even more prosperous than last year.

The Yamen quickly collected taxes, which were used to provide relief to the victims. The sales situation of Xiangfei yarn is getting better and better due to the increase in commercial income of the people in Fuzhou city. Now the daily sales have exceeded fifty taels, and the factory can hardly produce it.

Mr. Hu and Mr. You Siyi have already started to open a third factory. The workers don’t have to worry at all. The common people can’t afford food. If there is a place to recruit workers, they will work hard to come in. What’s more, Mr. Hu is willing to recruit female workers. The news of the recruitment has been released. It didn't take long for the factory's positions to be filled.

With Xiang Fei Sha as an example, other textile households also discovered that women could be textile workers, and their wages were lower than men. Following this example, many textile households in Fuzhou City also began to recruit women to work.

The reputation of Xiangfei yarn has already been established, and with the support of Wang Wenlong and Hu, other brands cannot compete at all. Even if other women's factories appear, the sales of Xiangfei yarn will not be affected.

At the end of February, Li Guoxian walked into the editorial department of "Xunbao" with a thick stack of manuscript paper: "Brother Wang, I have finally finished revising the first fifty chapters of "The Legend of Zhen Huan"."

Wang Wenlong put down his pen and said with a smile: "You write very quickly, show me."

In the past few months, Li Guoxian has been busy with things, and she has obviously become more energetic. She is sixteen or seventeen years old, when she is full of youthful vitality. As her energy increases, her appearance becomes even brighter. When she walks into the editorial office, it attracts the attention of others. Sideways glance.
