King Zhu Shu of Qi finally escaped from the deadly sea area. Looking back, he saw that the originally huge treasure ship had now become a black spot.
"Quick, paddle faster!"
Zhu Su yelled and ordered the guards to continue to exert force. It was always uncomfortable to soak in the sea water, especially when the waves hit from time to time. Not only did many guards sweep away, but they also choked a few mouthfuls, leaving a salty taste in their mouths.
If you don't get ashore early, you may be the next person swept away.
Zhu Shu threatened with a sword and screamed fiercely. The guards did not dare to disobey. They used their last strength to push Zhu Shu's broken wood forward while swimming. One of the guards finally lost his strength and leaned back after pushing. Tired Died at sea.
But even so, Zhu Shu showed no mercy and still ordered others to speed up.
In Zhu Shu's view, these people are just untouchables. He is the son of Taizu. They deserve to die. His death is a loss to God. In order to avoid God losing money, he can only let these people die and live on by himself. .
Relying only on human power, Zhu Shu and his remaining thirty guards finally approached the coast. The people who saw hope speeded up without waiting for Zhu Shu's urging. However, the closer they got to the coast, the more these people His strength became weaker and weaker, until when he was about ten steps away from the coast, no one moved any more.
Zhu Shu was also dumbfounded and murmured: "What is this?"
Rows of stones form a city wall, with no edges visible to the left and right. Its height is as high as the city wall of Beiping City, more than one and a half feet!
Damn, who built a "Great Wall" here?
Zhu Zhu looked at the city wall. Although it was made of stones, there were not many places to stay. Maybe it was washed away by the sea water, or maybe it was polished during the construction. The surface of the stone was not smooth, but it was not too obvious. of potholes and crevices.
Finally reaching the edge, Zhu Shu touched the indestructible stone wall, with a look on his face that was about to cry and had no hope of life, and shouted to the sky: "Heaven wants to kill me..."
The rebels didn’t do their homework in advance and didn’t even have a retreat plan. Who’s to blame?
This dyke did not appear out of thin air, nor did it appear recently. It existed nearly four hundred years ago. Its name is:
Fan Gongdi.
The Fangong Causeway here is actually similar to the Su Causeway in West Lake. They are both named after people.
Su is naturally Su Shi, and Fan in Fan Gongdi refers to the person who wrote "If you live high in the temple, you will worry about its people; if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your king." "Be worried about the world first, and then be happy when the world is happy." "Fan Zhongyan.
Fan Zhongyan is indeed an admirable guy. During the Tianxi period of the Song Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan was transferred to the salt warehouse supervisor in Xixi (now Dongtai), Taizhou. After going to the local area to investigate, he wrote to Zhang Lun, the then magistrate of Taizhou, requesting that the Huainan festival be held in the Tang Dynasty. The judge deposed Li Chengshi and built the Changfeng Weir as the basis for the construction of the Haihai Weir.
At that time, some people couldn't stand it, saying that you, Fan Zhongyan, were just a small official in charge of salt. Even if you were busy eating salt, you couldn't go beyond your duties. What kind of person was Fan Zhongyan? He was a person with the heart of "benefiting the world". "The man directly used social relations to refute the other party.
It’s true that I am in charge of salt, but if I don’t defend the sea weir, the people will all run away. If the people run away, then who will dry the salt? If no one comes to dry the salt, how can I manage the salt administration? Therefore, defending the sea weir is salt. Politics...
It's no use deceiving him for a while, others won't buy his account at all.
However, Zhang Lun, the prefect of Taizhou, was a powerful guy and knew the importance of water conservancy, so he adopted Fan Zhongyan's advice and reported to the court for approval, leaving Fan Zhongyan in charge of building the sea-defending weir.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Fan Zhongyan mobilized more than 40,000 people, but he was too impatient and did not let anyone rest in the winter. As a result, the seawater poured in and drowned more than 200 people.
If a safety incident occurs, work will naturally be suspended for review.
Later, the imperial court sent officials to investigate, and finally believed that the sea-defending weir should be built. However, not long after, Fan Zhongyan's mother passed away and he returned home to observe mourning. During this period, he kept writing to Zhang Lun, hoping that he would persevere and build the sea-defending weir.
It took Zhang Lun four years to build the sea-defending weir. The base of the weir is three feet wide, one foot and five feet high, and more than seventy miles long. After continuous construction during the Song and Yuan dynasties, the sea-defending weir at this time was more than 580 miles long!
Before the Ming Dynasty, this dike had many names, but since the early Ming Dynasty, it has been officially called Fanggongdi and has been passed down.
It has to be said that the nearly 400-year-old project is still indestructible despite being washed away by sea water for so long.
King Zhu Shu of Qi did not have much knowledge. He did not know that it was not God who put him in desperate situation, but Lao Fan, Lao Zhang, Lao Shen...
Zhu Shu regretted it. He had known that he should have climbed farther and returned to Dongtai ashore. Now it was impossible to retreat. Not to mention the pursuers behind him, there was no way for the people in front of him to send him away safely.
"Climb the wall!"
Zhu Shu didn't want to die, so he ordered his soldiers to climb the walls. However, these stone walls had no stress points at all, and the sea water washed over them from time to time, making it impossible to climb up.
An hour later, the guard, who was half dead from exhaustion, stopped working completely. Blood was already oozing from his fingers. If he continued to buckle him, his hands would have to be destroyed, especially if he fell into the sea, the sea water would sting him.
Just when Zhu Shu was looking at the wall and sighing, a rope was thrown down from the city wall, and then four heads popped out. He looked at King Qi and others and couldn't help but feel happy.
Luo Guanying shouted: "I can rescue you, but I need money, a lot of money."
"I give, I give!"
Zhu Shu shouted quickly, then grabbed the rope and tried to climb up, but Luo Guanying threw a pebble down directly and hit Zhu Shu on the head. Zhu Shu grinned in pain and couldn't help shouting at the top: "Pull me up and I'll give you a thousand taels of silver!"
"I want it now."
Luo Guanying shouted.
Zhu Shu was a little anxious. All the gold, silver and jewelry on the ship sank to the bottom of the sea. Where was the silver on him?
"It doesn't matter if you can't get the silver. You look like an official. How about you sell the others to me for a thousand taels, and I'll rescue you?"
Luo Guanying shouted.
Zhu Su grabbed the rope and said without thinking: "No problem, they are yours now, can you pull me up?"
Luo Guanying looked at the guards who accompanied King Qi from birth to death. They were all downcast and lifeless. Think about it, they followed a person to the edge of death and to the entrance of hell, but this person did not hesitate to live for himself. The earth betrayed them, what a feeling it was!
Scholars die for their confidants, but their deaths are not at all for their confidants, followers, or a person. In the final analysis, they are just duties and responsibilities.
Now, their duties are over.
Luo Guanying swung the rope and shouted to Zhu Shu: "No problem, but I have to collect the money first..."
Zhu Shu was stunned. Although he didn't know Fan Gongdi, he knew what this sentence meant. He wanted to pull him up to protect him first, and then pull himself up. How could this work? What if this guy cheated and didn't save himself? ?
Pleasant

Under the city wall and in the sea, you have to look up and take a closer look at the situation.
The other party seemed to be common people, there were only four of them, not like the imperial army, and no footsteps of the army were heard on the city wall. In this case, it would be easy to handle.
"good!"
Zhu Zhu agreed, then handed the rope to a nearby guard, and whispered: "When the time comes, kill them, take back the rope and pull me up!"
After hearing this, the guard just nodded numbly, took the rope and pulled it.
Luo Guanying greeted Shen Wei and the others, shouting and pulling the rope. The guard stepped on the wall and slowly approached the top of the embankment. When he was about to grab the stone wall at the top of the embankment, Luo Guanying said quickly in a low voice: "Think about your family. , don’t make any noise after coming up, King Qi has no hope, there is no need to involve everyone in his family."
The guard's expression changed, and he raised his head to the top. He saw the shield-hands and gun-hands behind the four people. They were staring at him in rows. If he dared to mess around, he would probably be beaten to pieces by the guns.
"Cooperate well, at least you still have a way to survive."
Luo Guanying patted the shoulder of King Qi's escort and handed him the rope naturally. At this time, the guard also understood that the person underneath was the turtle in the urn, but the urn was a bit deep...
The treasure ship has appeared not far away. Although it has not come over, it has blocked the retreat.
There is no escape.
The guard stuck his head out and shouted to King Qi and others below: "Next, I will pull you up right away. Your Majesty, please wait..."
King Qi was overjoyed when he saw that there was no abnormality in the guards and could still move. At least it meant that there were no Ming troops and it was not a trap. He quickly arranged for other guards to follow him and connected the four guards up along the rope. Zhu Su started to shout: "It's my turn now, right?"
Luo Guanying sneered and said: "If you don't agree, I will collect the money first, and then it will be your turn at the end. If I don't tell you, I won't take you."
Zhu Shu gritted his teeth and shouted, "If you don't take action yet, when will you wait?"
No one moved.
One of the guards shouted with difficulty: "Your Majesty, you have sold us. In this case, you should abide by the agreement."
Zhu Shu's eyes widened. How dare these idiots resist his orders? He couldn't help but roared: "Liang San, have you forgotten that your family is still in Qingzhou City?"
Guard Liang San ignored King Qi and shouted to the people below: "We are silver coins. Since we are selling to others, we naturally have to change positions and come up quickly. Only in this way can we save the prince from suffering and get ashore as soon as possible."
When the other guards saw this, they ignored King Qi and went up along the rope.
As the guards came up one by one, Zhu Shu's face became colder and colder. In the end, he even wanted to threaten the guards with a sword and not allow him to leave. However, the guard, who was in a desperate situation and had been betrayed, didn't care about Zhu Shu's threat at all. He just picked up a wooden board. The sword in Zhu Shu's hand went out and fell into the sea.
Finally, all the guards of King Qi went to Fan Gongdi.
Luo Guanying dropped the rope when Zhu Su was uneasy and shouted: "I am a man of his word. Come on, I will pull you up."
Zhu Shu quickly wrapped the rope around his waist, then pulled it and shouted, "You are a good person."
Luo Guanying waved his hand, and a group of guards pulled the rope hard. The rope rubbed against the edges and made a clanking sound.
When King Qi reached a height of one foot, Luo Guanying sneezed and threw herself directly on the rope. The originally strong rope was broken in an instant, and a shrill and desperate sound cut through the tranquil sea...
