Of course Huang Zhisheng is not really acclimatized. He has traveled all over the country in recent years, even to the grasslands outside the Great Wall. If he were to be "dissatisfied" so easily, the grass on the grave would be as tall as one person.

This time, he actually used illness as a cover, disguised himself as a businessman and secretly left Jinan City, and then went straight to Dengzhou Prefecture, which is more than 700 miles away from Jinan.

At this time, Dengzhou Prefecture had a situation of one prefecture and two governors, just like Chaozhou Prefecture back then. The three counties under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou Prefecture, including Penglai, Fushan, and Rongcheng, plus Ninghai Prefecture, were all under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou Prefecture.

Under the control of King Zhu Tian's subordinates.

Four counties, including Wendeng, Haiyang, Laiyang, and Huangxian, were still under the control of the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, the Dengzhou prefecture office of the Qing Dynasty was not closed, but moved from Penglai County to Laiyang County - still the same one.

The prefect’s office and the prefect have not been changed!

King Zhu Tian was obviously much more reasonable than his son Zhu Heji. Of course, after he captured Zhang Shaoheng, the magistrate of Dengzhou Prefecture, he did not kill him, nor send him to hard labor, nor even persuade him to surrender.

After giving him a good meal, he sent someone to take him to Laiyang.

Moreover, King Zhu Tian also allowed the magistrate Zhang to work in Laiyang with peace of mind... and also promised not to invade the four counties of Wendeng, Haiyang, Laiyang and Huangxian for the time being.

Of course, this "non-invasion" is conditional. The condition is that Laiyang does not block the trade routes with Dengzhou City.

In addition, King Zhu Tian also spoke to the Qing court through Magistrate Zhang, hoping that the Qing court would not blockade the city of Dengzhou. In return, King Zhu Tian would not order his Dengzhou navy to block the Bohai Bay.

The entrance to the sea - this is a piece of cake for King Zhu Tian! As long as he gives the order, Emperor Kangxi will not be able to use Tianjin Port and Lushun Port to maintain contact with Western friends.

Because maintaining Tianjin and Lushun, the two ports for external exchanges, was of great benefit to Kangxi, and Kangxi was temporarily unable to regain the capital of Dengzhou. Therefore, Kang Mazi simply acquiesced to the existence of the Huangxian-Penglai trade road, and also allowed

Merchant ships from various countries entering and leaving Tianjin dock at Dengzhou Port to pay taxes...

Under this situation where both parties can reach a tacit understanding, the Dengzhou Fucheng area under the governance of King Zhu Tian has become a quite special existence.

This kind of existence is somewhat similar to a "free city". It seems that the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty has nothing to do with Dengzhou Fucheng, a seaport city located on the north side of the Shandong Peninsula at the entrance to the Bohai Bay.

When Huang Zhisheng arrived here, the first thing he saw was the outer wall of the "Free City" that was under construction.

Dengzhou Fucheng is actually a world-famous fortified city. It not only has tall and strong city walls, but also faces the sea to the north and Danya Mountain high ground to the west. There is no need to build any external walls to ensure the safety of the castle.

However, King Zhu Tian, ​​who became the lord of Dengzhou, still ordered people to build an eighteen-mile-long moon-shaped outer wall outside Dengzhou City, from the west of Danya Mountain to Sanxian Mountain (located east of Dengzhou City).

A large area of ​​land was enclosed to the east of the front), thus placing Dengzhou Fucheng in a safe area that was difficult for enemy artillery to reach.

In addition, the area between the Dengzhou capital and the outer wall of Dengzhou can be used to house the Cao workers and their families who were evacuated from Tianjin with King Zhu Tianjin. It can also be used to build commercial ports and commercial ports - Dengzhou's new

Both the commercial port and Xingang are located on the west side of Tianheng Mountain to the west of Danya Mountain.

Once the new commercial port and new port are completed and put into use, Dengzhou Fucheng and Dengzhou Water City will become pure military cities and military ports, and there will be no chance of a sneak attack by the Qing army.

And the base camp of the Dengzhou Army that will land in Liaodong in the future will be in Dengzhou City!

In addition, King Zhu Tian also brought 3,000 Mongolian horses from Tianjin, including thousands of mares!

These mares are much larger than the "rabbit horses" in the south of the Yangtze River and the Yunnan horses in the southwest. King Zhu Tian selected another two to three hundred relatively large mares and kept them under the Sanxian Mountain inside the outer wall of Dengzhou.

In a horse farm, the Andalusian stallions are waiting to be transported from the south of the Yangtze River, and breeding can begin!

When Huang Zhisheng arrived in Dengzhou, the outer wall of Dengzhou had not yet been completed. Only a long trench was dug and a low wall was rammed out with the soil taken out during the trench digging.

Within the low wall, there are several construction sites that look quite busy, and the commercial port of Tengzhou Free City is within the tall and strong Tengzhou city wall.

With the arrival of a large population and the emergence of the free city, Dengzhou City naturally became extremely prosperous.

The city is bustling with people dressed in all kinds of styles! People wearing Ming Dynasty clothes, Qing Dynasty clothes, Korean clothes, and a mix of Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are even many Westerners wearing Western clothes, all walking shoulder to shoulder on the streets.

of surge.

After Huang Zhisheng entered the city, he asked people where the "Penglai Bank" was. He soon found it on a street with numerous government offices in the north of Dengzhou City, and next to the largest government office in Dengzhou City-Dengzhou Tianwang Mansion.

Found this bank located in a large mansion.

After entering the bank, Huang Zhisheng took out a hand-beaten silver dollar with the English letters "pboc" and "prc" on it and handed it to a bank steward.

Soon he was led by another steward of the Penglai Bank and entered the Dengzhou Tianwang Mansion directly through a side door in the backyard of the bank.

...

"Your Majesty, Huang Zhisheng, respectfully invites His Royal Highness, the Heavenly King, and may His Royal Highness, the Heavenly Princess, be blessed with peace and prosperity!"

Outside a pavilion in the back garden of Dengzhou Tianwang Mansion, Huang Zhisheng saw King Zhu Tianwang and Princess Tianwang who were playing chess.

The couple now gives off a feeling of elation, especially King Zhu Tian, ​​whose face is almost full of energy, and he looks younger than the King Zhu Tian in Huang Zhisheng's impression...

.I don’t know if it’s the effect of marrying a sweet wife or the effect of holding great power in Dengzhou?

"See your seats!"

King Zhu Tian put down the flag in his hand, smiled and asked someone to bring Huang Zhisheng an embroidery pier, and ordered him to take a seat.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Huang Zhisheng took out a gift note he had just written in the Penglai bank account and handed it to one of King Zhu Tianwang's maids.

King Zhu Tian took the invitation from the maid, unfolded it, read it carefully, and burst out laughing: "It's interesting, it's interesting! Kangxi's new policy requires more Confucian taxes, and he must continue to exercise imperial power.

The law of rural and tax farming, and the establishment of Confucianism... This Emperor Kangxi really has a way, it seems that he is not willing to be Emperor Shun of the Qing Dynasty."

Huang Zhisheng frowned slightly, "What His Royal Highness the Heavenly King said is absolutely true. Although this Kangxi was unlucky, his ability to govern the country was actually not bad, and he could still work hard to deal with difficulties after encountering them, and he was quite methodical...

.should be considered a wise king of the previous generation."

King Zhu Tian shook his head: "It's Mingjun...but his tricks are all within my expectations!" He paused, "This Dengzhou City of Freedom is the only way to crack the Kangxi

The key to the New Deal!”

Can Dengzhou City defeat Kangxi’s New Deal?

Huang Zhisheng didn't understand what King Zhu Tian meant. In his opinion, Dengzhou City was nothing more than a bridge between the Ming and Qing Dynasties. How could it defeat Kangxi's New Deal?

But he didn't ask much... After working as a spy for two or three years, Huang Zhisheng was already a little bit experienced. He knew that to be a good spy, he must learn to be "calm" and not pry here and there.

Don't express yourself too much, and be moderate. Only in this way can you hide in the enemy's camp for a long time without being noticed.

So he asked King Zhu Tian: "Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions? If not, I will leave first."

King Zhu Tian said: "Just be your Confucian boss... Remember, don't go to the south on errands, but find a way to stay with Shenggong. In addition, you can let Shenggong know that outside Dengzhou

Within the wall is the refuge of this Heavenly King. No matter who he is, or what he has committed outside, as long as he comes to Dengzhou City, he is the guest of this Heavenly King, and this Heavenly King can keep him safe! Even if Emperor Kangxi comes to Dengzhou to take refuge
