After a quiet conversation with Wang Hai, Zhengliang fully realized the risks of this trip./So, in addition to enjoying the scenery as usual, Zhengliang also woke up secretly so that he would immediately respond if there was any movement at sea.

What made everyone feel relieved was that they were about to walk out of the Zhoushan Islands and did not see a pirate ship.

"Where is there?" Masayoshi pointed to a large island in the distance with the morning sunshine. Now Masayoshi's ship has dressed up as a fishing boat.

"It's Zhoushan Island," said Wang Hai next to him.

It turned out that it was Zhoushan Island. In my impression, in order to rectify the coastal defense, Zhenguo Gong Tang He moved all the fishermen on all the surrounding islands to this island and became ship owners. Later, Zhu Wan, the "Governor of the Japanese Suppression" was even more extreme. In order to eliminate more and more Japanese pirates, the imperial court set up a large yamen called "Military Admiral of Fujian and Zhejiang". The admiral was given the title of "Right Censor of the Censorate" and led the two provinces of Zhejiang and Fujian and the transferred "visit soldiers" to eliminate Japanese pirates. It is convenient to say that it is simply called "Governor of the Japanese Suppression". The first "Governor of the Japanese Suppression" was Zhu Wan). After taking office, his first strategy was to "strengthen the Japanese Suppression" and forcibly move the residents of the Zhoushan Islands to the mainland and the main island of Zhoushan, completely eradicating the hidden places of the Japanese pirates on the sea, leaving them without food sources or hiding places.

"Do brothers Wang Hai know where the pirates' nest is now?" Zhengliang couldn't help but wonder. Because not far from Zhoushan Island is a place called Liegang, Wang Zhi fled there after being defeated by Zhu Wan. (.) Suddenly, Zhengliang wanted to know where the pirates were hiding before Wang Zhi rose.

"Your Highness Zhengliang, their old nest is on Shuangyu Island." Wang Hai said it very directly, "There are now controlled by sea merchants such as Lin Bichuan, Li Guangtou, and Xu Dong. Everyone in the coastal areas of Zhejiang knows it."

"Ah?" Zhengliang was shocked, "Maritime merchants?" Ming Dynasty is now implementing a maritime ban, so why are there still maritime merchants?

"Haha. That's why there are pirates." Wang Hai understood Zhengliang's meaning and whispered. There was dissatisfaction in his voice. After thinking about it, he understood that these big sea merchants were of course doing everything they could to attack other opponents in order to occupy the business path, and Wang Hai, the little shrimps who were trying to get a share of the pie, were of course the attacks.

Zhengliang recalled carefully. Shuangyu Island is located in the Zhoushan Islands, more than 60 miles southeast of Dinghai County, Zhejiang Province. Shuangyu Island is not rich in plants and trees. There are no flocks of birds, but the north and south waters are connected, which is a natural deep-water harbor. Shuangyu Island became a base for trade and smuggling in 1526. The pirate Deng Liao attracted foreigners to occupy this place. Foreigners also took a fancy to the unique geographical conditions of the sky high and the emperor far away, and built the first cargo warehouse on the island. In the 19th year of Jiajing, there were already about 3,000 long-term residents on Shuangyu Island.

Among them, there were about 1,200 Portuguese people. There were churches, hospitals, magistrates, warehouses, and exchanges on the island, which were like a medium-sized market in Europe. The locals did not exclude foreigners with blue eyes and harsh eyes. The Ming Dynasty and other countries in the world exchanged, transited, and distributed goods on Shuangyu Island. Silver from the riben and Spain continued to enter China through it, and Chinese silk, porcelain, tea, etc. entered the world from here. At that time, Shuangyu Island was amazed by later historians as "Shanghai in the 16th century."

During this period, the famous smuggling maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Bichuan, Li Bantou and Xu Dong also set up their strongholds on Shuangyu Island. These smuggling groups carried contraindicated products such as raw silk and sulfur through smuggling ships. Far-far-floating riben, Siam, and Western countries made huge profits, like fish in water, and their power continued to grow. The prosperous Shuangyu Port was destined to become Shanghai. Because of the rampant smuggling activities and the invasion of Japanese pirates, the Ming Dynasty had long regarded this "smuggler and Japanese pirates' nest" as a thorn in the eyes.

In the 26th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court set up a large yamen in order to eliminate more and more Japanese pirates. It was called "Military Admiral of Fujian and Zhejiang", and the admiral was given the title of "right censor of the Censorate of the Censorate". He led Zhejiang and Fujian provinces and the transferred "visit soldiers" to eliminate Japanese pirates. It is convenient to say that it is simply called "Governor of the Japanese Suppression". The first "Governor of the Japanese Suppression" was Zhu Wan.

Zhu Wan, a native of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, passed the Jinshi in the 16th year of the Ming Dynasty. He was 27 years old. He was deeply influenced by Confucianism, was loyal to the emperor and patriotism, had the ambition to govern the country and pacify the world, and was indomitable when encountering dangers. He was a capable minister and deserved great use. In the 25th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, he was promoted to the right deputy censor of the Censorate and the governor of Nangan. In the 26th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, he served as the first governor of the Japanese suppression and governor of the four coastal prefectures of Zhejiang and Fujian.

The governor holds heavy power, one of which is the right to "handle things cheaply". Officials under the fifth rank and below who are not effective in suppressing Japanese Japanese can be executed without reporting in advance. Officials above the fifth rank and above can be dismissed and investigated at any time. The second power is finance. In addition to military expenditure, they can also set up taxes in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, collect and use them at any time, and finally verify them from the Ministry of Revenue. The third power is military power, which can mobilize powerful generals from all over the country for him to drive them.

Zhu Wan's first strategy after taking office was to "strengthen the walls and clear the fields", forcibly moved the residents of the Zhoushan Islands to the mainland and the main island of Zhoushan, completely eradicating the hidden places of the Japanese pirates on the sea, leaving them without food sources and no place to hide; the second strategy was to implement the Baojia system, he organized the ten households of the residents into one a, designated one a, and designated one a, and designated one a, and designated one a, assurance. If someone in the one a, if there is someone "opening the sea", everyone has the responsibility to report. The government has a management system of mutual surveillance and mutual guards at the grassroots level, and has a look-a-and-ear and undercover among the people, and becomes smart and clear-eyed.

It was a "rising ferry boat". He did not allow residents to have double-brid fishing boats, and some of them were taken back to the government. If someone dared to rebuild, the ship would be confiscated, and people would be treated as "opening the sea". The fourth strategy was to rectify the sea defense. He rebuilt one ward after another along the coast of Zhejiang, stationed troops to defend. There were as many as 41 wards on the thousand-mile coast from Jiaxing, Zhejiang to Wenzhou, and there were one every one or two hundred miles. Each ward was built on the main road leading to the ocean, with a lookout and beacon tower. When someone was found going into the sea, he set up a beacon as a Notice. The soldiers of the wards were dispatched to capture them, and the adjacent wards came to reinforce, forming a surround.

After completing the careful deployment, Zhu Wan appointed Dusi Lu Tong and Ke Qiao to lead the army to launch a general attack on Shuangyu Island, the base camp of the "Japanese pirates". The attack and suppression went smoothly. His army captured Shuangyu Island in one fell swoop without much trouble. The Japanese pirates on the island just ran around with their heads and fled in all directions. Zhu Wan took advantage of the victory to chase them and chased them all to Zoumaxi in Zhao'an County, Fujian Province, and captured 96 Japanese pirates. He used the power of "cheap things" to behead them all. At this time, he probably understood in his heart that the so-called Japanese pirates were a group of unarmed Ming Dynasty merchants.
