Dengzhou...is a state located in Shandong in history, located on the Shandong Peninsula. It was established in Wendeng in the early Tang Dynasty and was abolished soon after. In the first year of Ruyi (692), Dengzhou was re-established in Huang County (Longkou). In the third year of Shenlong in the Tang Dynasty (707), Dengzhou moved to Penglai and Penglai to ascend to the county, and Huang County was introduced to it. It was the prefecture of Dengzhou in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and still managed Penglai.

The provincial, prefecture, prefecture and county system implemented in the Ming Dynasty, Dengzhou belonged to Laizhou Prefecture under Shandong Province (later changed to Shandong Provincial Administration and Commissioner) and was promoted to Dengzhou Prefecture in 1376, governed by Penglai, and governed by Ninghaizhou, Penglai County, Huang County, Fushan County, Qixia County, Zhaoyuan County, Laiyang County and Wendeng County.

You should know that Dengzhou is the most strategic position in Shandong. Zhu Lang set up three major camps here early in Shandong, namely Dengzhou Camp, Wendeng Camp and Jimo Camp. The three major camps are responsible for military affairs in different aspects.

Dengzhou Camp is responsible for the coastal areas of northeastern Shandong; Wendeng Camp is the corner of Chengshan; Jimo Camp is responsible for the defense work from Haizhou to Haiyang Bay. Each camp commands the four guards separately. The three rely on each other, strictly guarding the Shandong Peninsula and guarding the Bohai Gate.

There were not many people in Dengzhou, and everyone knew that since ancient times, these areas such as Henan, Hebei and Shandong have been a place where military strategists must fight for. Therefore, when dynasties change, these places are places where ambitious people kill each other. In the process of the game between ambitious people, this place will be wars for years, and the people will live in poverty.

What you need to know is that places like Henan, Hebei, and Shandong are very suitable for grain production and are very suitable for people to reproduce. It can be said that they have unique natural geographical conditions, but it is also a blessing and a disaster. If you have food and someone here, then in times of war, this is also a hell on earth.

This was the case in the late Yuan Dynasty. In the late Yuan Dynasty, due to the incompetence and cruelty of the Yuan Dynasty rulers, the people of the world were living in poverty. Various rebel troops rose up everywhere. Some of these rebel troops did indeed to overthrow the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, but some had ulterior motives. They snatched territory everywhere and fought against each other under the slogan of destroying the Yuan Dynasty.

Since Henan, Hebei, Shandong and other places have had extremely high strategic value since ancient times, they often become battlefields for them to fight each other. After years of war, the people in Henan, Hebei, Shandong and other places either died under the butcher's knife, or left their homes and left their business to seek survival. This led to large areas of land being desolated and the 10,000 acres of fertile land in the Central Plains have been harvested all year round.

In the early years of Hongwu, Dengzhou was not very crowded. Basically, there were one or two thousand people in Dengzhou Prefecture. Even if it was good, Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he deeply realized the importance of agricultural production to a country. For this reason, he introduced a series of policies to target agricultural production in the early Ming Dynasty and encouraged the people to work hard.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang also saw a problem, that is, due to years of war, the population loss in the Central Plains (also including Shandong) was severely lost, and a large amount of fertile land in the country was abandoned.

At that time, although the Mongolian rulers had been driven away, the Ming Dynasty had been established, and the development of the Central Plains had returned to normal, the people still did not forget the bloody massacres decades ago. Although they missed their hometown, they were also filled with the desire for life and fear of death.

Zhu Yuanzhang had his own solution to this problem. You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang was a man who would not do anything but do it, and he thought that since the people refused to move back to the Central Plains, they would be forced to move.

Under the guidance of the Ming Dynasty's policies, in the third year of Hongwu, that is, in 1370, a large number of Ming Dynasty people began to migrate to Henan, Hebei, Shandong and other places.

So there is actually a question here, where did these people come from?

The answer is Shanxi.

We know that due to the brutal rule of the Yuan Dynasty, the people in the Central Plains have been living in poverty for many years. At the same time, in the late Yuan Dynasty, the rulers were also very short-sighted. During the rule of the late Yuan Dynasty, most of the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty did not pay much attention to agricultural production. On the contrary, because their ancestors lived in the Mongolian grasslands for generations and had become accustomed to nomadic life in their bones, they were extremely unacceptable to the lifestyle of the Central Plains, so they began to think of ways to make this land more suitable for their own survival.

The Central Plains are everywhere in the Central Plains, and the Yellow River passes through it. "Big River, Plain", the Mongolians thought, yes, this excellent natural condition is very suitable for the growth of forage and horse-raising. So many Mongolian nobles began to return farmland to pasture on the Central Plains land. They drew the land on the Central Plains land, built their own pastures, and raised their own cattle and sheep.

As a result, many fertile fields in the Central Plains became pastures in just a few decades.

Later, due to the large-scale return of farmland to grass in the Central Plains, the grain output in the Central Plains was greatly reduced. Moreover, while returning farmland to grass, the Mongols also cut down a large number of forests on both sides of the Yellow River and implemented the reduction of forest to grass. As a result, in the late Yuan Dynasty, the Yellow River floods flooded many times, destroying a large number of Central Plains fields.

But fortunately, Shanxi, not far from the Central Plains, has quietly flourished at this time.

Why is this?

Friends who are familiar with geography will know that Shanxi is in the north of Henan, and its territory is mostly high mountains. You should know that the reason why the Mongols chose to graz on the Central Plains was that the Central Plains terrain was suitable for horses to run. However, it is very different in places like Shanxi. Because the roads are rugged and high mountains and rivers are blocked everywhere, the Mongols are not interested in this place of Shanxi.

But it is precisely this lack of interest that made Shanxi a refuge for the people to reproduce and prosper during the war years. After decades of reproduction and prospering, Shanxi has become a prosperous place.

Encouraged by the Ming Dynasty's policies, a large number of Shanxi people went to Henan, Hebei and Shandong to settle down. Since this immigration mainly occurred during the Hongwu period, this immigration has a distinctive name in history, called the Hongwu Immigration. At the same time, since it first occurred in Hongdong County, Shanxi, this immigration is usually also known as the Hongdong Immigration of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Lang would not have thought that the first thing he did when he came to Dengzhou Prefecture was not to wipe out the Japanese pirates, but to wipe out the rats in Dengzhou. The methods and steps of the Ming Dynasty immigrants were generally repatriation, military camps, commercial camps, civil camps, etc.

More often than not, we use the method of coercion and conscripting.

No matter what you say, the Central Plains is good, and no one wants to move there for a few years without paying food, so they have to formulate regulations on moving people, migrating according to the ratio of "one family of four, two family of six, and three family of eight".

In order to make immigration smoothly, the Ming Dynasty government issued a series of preferential policies, such as issuing cotton coats, Sichuan capital (relocation travel expenses), and settling down, and buying silver for agricultural tools. Wherever the land can be "built at your own expense" and exempting it from taxes for three years.

But a few people did it. The tax could be paid in the first year, but before the third year, many places began to exploit the local people. Shao Wenhua, the governor of Dengzhou Prefecture, was ranked eighth in the first rank of Jinshi in Hongwu in the third year. This guy used to be a poor scholar and wanted to be an official who wanted to seek welfare for the people. However, when he arrived at Dengzhou Prefecture, he became a county magistrate to governor.

One night, a group of merchants sneaked into the governor's mansion, and then put a box after box of gold and silver for Lord Shao to a gold and silver bed, Shao Wenhua was directly corroded.

"What should we do... What should we do now? Prince Taiping is here, this person is not better to deal with. I heard that this guy hates evil. If Le Sanjin and others cast all our evidence of our crimes to him, then we will all be done." At this time, Shao Wenhua was like an ant on a hot pan, showing a very worried and scared expression.

However, a fat man opposite Shao Wenhua showed a knowing smile and looked at Shao Wenhua and laughed: "My Governor, what's there to be afraid of... Prince Taiping. You must know that Prince Taiping is also a human being. I don't believe that he doesn't care about anything. As long as he is a human being, he will have weaknesses.

And I, Lu Pang, have some wine, sex, wealth and power. Even if he doesn't like these, he is not from suppressing Japanese pirates. Well, let's give him some Japanese pirates first. If he knows how to advance and retreat, we will cooperate. But if this Taiping Prince does not know how to advance and retreat, don't blame me for being ruthless. I will inform King Li immediately and ask him to send the Korean navy to destroy this Taiping Prince in one fell swoop."

After saying that, Lu Pang laughed, without any nervousness.

At this time, Shao Wenhua also walked to Lu Pang's side and whispered to prove: "It's really okay?"

Pang Lu smiled and said, "Don't worry... It won't matter. Even if I can't do it, you can believe the one behind me."

"Yes...!" Shao Wenhua smiled slightly: "Why are you afraid of if you have that guy who supports me?"

....................................................

On a small island, because the entire island looks like a thin donkey lying in the sea, it is named Haidou Island.

The rocks around Hailu Island have been eroded by waves for millions of years, forming a beautiful landscape with dangerous peaks and rugged rocks. Seeing these strange stones on the island at night will make people feel a creepy and thrilling feeling.

There are no residents on Hailu Island. Every spring, there are thousands of seagulls gathered here. They live in the cracks of rocks and walk along the simple walking boardwalk outside the island. You can see the shore cliffs are filled with holes, the large sea erosion caves can be boated, and the small sea erosion caves can only accommodate a few people. The magical and unpredictable rock landscape is unique.

At this time, three young people were hiding in a large sea erosion cave. One of these three was Le Sanjin as Shao Wenhua mentioned.

"Brother Sanjin... We found Liu Bowen this time, but Liu Bowen didn't care about anything anymore. He kept asking us to wait for Prince Taiping, what can that prince manage?"

"Yes...!" Another man immediately said: "That's the governor of Dengzhou, and it is said that his majesty's parent-child name is named, and that's the disciple of the emperor. If Lord Liu Bowen had no choice, what would that prince have to do?"

After the two said that, Le Sanjin also showed a speechless expression: "I don't know, but Lord Liu Bowen said, let us wait for the Prince of Taiping. He said that the Prince of Taiping will pass by here soon. If we see a big boat passing by, we will look for it directly. As long as we look for it, the prince of the county will definitely make the decision for us.

In this way, all the crimes of Shao Wenhua and Lu Pang can be public in the world, avenge our families and comfort their spirits in heaven."

"This Lu Pang and Shao Wenhua are really not a thing... His Majesty personally issued an order to exempt us from three years of taxes, and also all kinds of seed cotton coats, but it would be fine if we didn't see a single seed cotton coat, but we also asked us to pay the tax the next year. Aunt San said something slightly.

They actually arrested Aunt San directly. The poor Aunt San's twelve-year-old daughter was dragged into the Lu Mansion by them. Now no one knows whether the child is dead or alive. This is just the beginning. Five years of things, a total of 218 lives. Shao Wenhua is insatiable, Lu Pang is vicious and vicious, and he is not a human being."

"You don't know...! That Lu Fat colluded with Japanese pirates, Donghua Village, Beijiao Village... It was the largest and best village near us. It was this Lu Fat colluded with Japanese pirates. By the way, there were not only Japanese pirates, but also sticks!"

"What...and the stick?" Le Sanjin shouted excitedly: "Bangzi colludes with him too?"

"Collecting... Lu Pang, a bastard, was not only cruel to us, but also when he met Japanese pirates and kangzi, he was like a good grandson. He was really inferior to the extreme...!"

"Then we must stop the Prince of Taiping. Regardless of whether the other party can help us or not, even if he cannot help us, if he can report everything from Dengzhou to Your Majesty, then it will be our contribution." Le Sanjin looked outside the cave, and the black sea water was still rising and falling. Le Sanjin didn't know what his future was, but Le Sanjin knew that for the sake of the future, he would fight to the best of all.

....................................

The next morning, Zhu Lang woke up from the boat, Meng Yao brought water to wash his face. Zhu Lang simply washed over and came to the highest deck of the treasure ship. The height of the treasure ship was six meters. Standing on the treasure ship, looking down, on the deck of the next floor, the sea dragon army was already performing their duties. Meng Yao walked out at this time and said, "Mr., you can reach Penglai in about one day. I wonder how Mr. Liu is doing now?"

"Liu Bowen?" Zhu Lang smiled slightly: "He must be ruthless, but this time I want to see how the military camp he made for me is like. If this military camp is not done well, I will have to ship the goods."

This sentence made Mengyao laugh. Just as the two of them smiled similarly, suddenly, Zhu Jing below shouted loudly: "Enemy attack...Enemy attack...!"
