What is the truth? Let's take a look at some historical materials:
Xiao Xianzhe, a native of Guangdong, is a scholar. Good at fighting, but afraid of Wang Zhi. Things in Jiangnan come first. Yang Yuanxiang, a native of Huatingjing, asked about the number of silks in the city. Yuan Yue: The treasure house has been moved to Suzhou, so it is not as good as the south lane, and the south tunnel is rich. When I arrived in Nanxiang, the city people took the house and stole the tiles. The thief was quite hurt. There are several people with umbrellas, Deng. The house was destroyed, so it collapsed. When the merchants lived in Nanxiang, Jin Baoshan accumulated a lot of money, and the thieves couldn't take everything, so they left happily. Yuanxiang begged him to go back, so he obviously wanted to take the owner of the ship, the owner of the ship and the Japanese. I don't know his name. Seeing kowtow and Chen Yuanxiang's contribution, he killed cattle and sheep to sacrifice to the sea. Because of his legacy, he sent the people to their homes for 30 days, and Yuan Xiang said, giving directions and rewarding them. Volume 56
The little fairy is good at fighting and resourceful, but Wang Zhi dare not give in. Zheng Ruo once proposed the compilation of charts.
There are Wang Zhizhe and Hui people. When you are desperate to go out to sea, you are the main channel of the ship and you love it. Western Park News Record
Wang profited from filming, violated the prohibition of alcohol in the Ming Dynasty in the United States, forgot what China meant, and entered a foreign country as a traitor. Lure the enemy, attack and rob, shake the sea and shake the southeast. The state has policies, and the living have inheritance. Evil is invincible, and god and man are angry together. The Ministry of War has five defenses against Japan.
In the thirty-second year of Jiajing, he was defeated by Tang Kekuan and later by Tang Kekuan. Later, he fled to Pinghu, Japan to seduce Japanese slaves. Seduction refers to bribery. It can be seen from the materials that Xiao obviously wants his Japanese master to give him a discount, and the Japanese master is obviously just a slave of the enemy. For such a slave, Wang Zhi also dare not let him go. Obviously, its so-called 36 islands are barbarians, and everything is subject to their command. At best, it's just that Wang Zhi has recruited some small Japanese pirates. Bai Yang, the minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, said: Those stupid Japanese slaves dare to rob everywhere because of my rebellious hometown. Japanese slaves are not rebellious, let alone greedy by wolves. The rebellious Japanese slaves had no intention of stealing with mice. At that time, there was such collusion between Japanese pirates and pirates. Some pirates, such as Xiao Xian and Chen Dong, are direct subordinates of Japanese pirates, but Wang Zhi is not his subordinate. However, ordering Japanese pirates to kill and rob is really a well-deserved traitor. This refers to pirates. What about China, the Japanese pirates? Let's look at some historical materials first:
A prisoner will open a pond and become tongue-tied, so he will turn his back.
Enshi residents live in nests, so the actual situation is caves.
Appreciate the craftsmen who captured Nalu, so the equipment is easy to use.
My captors lead the way to fetch water, go in and out in the morning and evening, name names, leave a book in every place, write down their sex names, and open and close doors in different categories. There are not many Japanese, but dozens of them are on strike. When Kou returns to the island, it is said that he will be a guest. Anyone caught and killed by our soldiers is a secret, H.
Second, the little pirates in China all obey the leadership and have no independent rights. The so-called kou captured our people and led the way to get water. There are Japanese sons on board. If you want to come, you should give the host a thousand pence first.
Third, once China's small enemies become enemies, it is hard to turn back. As the saying goes, a prisoner must open a pond and become tongue-tied, so he can I don't know if he is Japanese, so he must go back. Threatened by thieves, he never missed his hometown, but shaved his hair. Judging from his clothing number, he is no different from a thief. He tried to escape, but was killed by the people in the county, so he had to live illegally.
Fourthly, among the Japanese pirates, most of the small Japanese pirates in China want to return to China, and many of them are intimidated by thieves. The so-called trip to Yizhou on Thief Island shows that there are only a few hundred real Japanese species. There are many fugitives in the mainland, and they are often unable to extricate themselves from robbery. Recently, thieves robbed Loutang and Luodian. And drive residents to pick up their bags. Their bag shopkeeper quietly told my people that they were from a county in a certain state, threatened by thieves and never missed their hometown.
We all know the story of Smith. During the holidays, I imitated Japanese toes and toes, wore Japanese clothes, and even made the boat into a Japanese boat. There is a more important reason to cover up your identity, besides waving a flag as a tiger skin. It is called imitation color in biology.
The book Jiajing Southeast Lying in Tonglu published by Hongwu for 30 years has very strict restrictions on overseas business. It is stipulated that anyone who carries contraband such as iron products, copper coins, satin and silk floss. Those who enter the sea without authorization and those who deal with foreign businessmen will all be beheaded, and it is forbidden to build large ships with more than two masts at sea without permission. Rebellion and resistance against foreigners are more severe: anyone who conspires against foreigners will be executed first. Grandfathers, fathers, sons, grandsons, uncles, brothers, nephews, cousins, grandparents, fathers-in-law, son-in-law and domestic servants of other clans aged 16 will be killed.
In order not to be punished by Jiuzu, the enemy must do everything possible to hide his origins. In the Ming Dynasty, rebels often used nicknames to cover up their real names, such as the well-known peasant uprising in Chongzhen. Uprising leaders all used posthumous title: Zi, Eight Kings, Cao Cao, Sky Breaking, Non-Sticking Mud, Sweeping the Floor and so on, including the famous King Chuang. On the southeast coast, you can disguise yourself as a Japanese to hide your identity. For local officials, the rebellion of the people in their jurisdiction has greatly dragged down their political achievements, so they are also willing to report to the Japanese.
During the forty years from Qin Long to Wanli, Jiajing period was the period when the Ming Dynasty was most endangered by Japanese invaders. Historians call Jiajing the great enemy of Japan. At this stage, the coastal people driven away by thieves and caught in hunger and cold are the real enemies, and the root of hunger and cold lies in the sea ban policy that prohibits people from going to sea.
On the other hand, why did Jiajing strictly ban the sea in his early years? It is because a few Portuguese smugglers and pirates burned and looted coastal towns and islands during Zheng De's period, and the smuggling trade between China maritime merchants and Japanese pirates along the coast of Zhejiang made the Ming government feel that trade would bring disaster to the south, so it increased the implementation of the maritime ban. Fishing is not allowed even in the most severe time. Forbidden sea is the standard way to give up eating because of choking. Although it was not the maritime ban that attracted the Japanese pirates, it certainly stimulated more Japanese pirates in China.
As the saying goes, the mountain depends on the mountain, and the sea depends on the sea. Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, local residents have always regarded maritime trade as a source of food and clothing. Merchants, sailors, shipbuilding, repair, transportation and other services at sea can support at least one million coastal residents. In Fujian, there is a saying that the sea is the land of Fujian people. The paper sea ban mercilessly deprived the local residents of their fields and smashed their rice bowls. In Guangdong, Chaozhou ranks first.
Because of their homeland, the enemy got incredible support in the southeast coastal areas. In the battle, there were many seemingly absurd scenes: the enemy occupied the right place at the right time, like a duck to water. The loyal minister who represents the teacher of justice is unpopular and struggling. Some ordinary people even directly supported the Japanese aggressors. Famous people who participated in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression recorded that Hangzhou's shops, knowing that they were pirates, were greedy for their huge profits, allowing them to pile up goods and providing some escorts. Copper is used for fire milling, lead bullets and nitric acid for gunpowder, iron swords and guns. The boat is an escort, so don't ask, give the money to the thief. Near the ground, people either send fresh goods, feed them, or offer their children, and there is an endless stream; A border officer in a red quilt and a jade belt. Wufeng calls her friends. As soon as they met, they bowed down and kowtowed, and willingly waited on the servants to deliver the goods. They are going to call to leave. They are proud of themselves, proud of themselves, and stick to it. They can. I can't tell good from evil.
So it's no wonder that Xie Jie said: People by the sea are thieves, and those who can steal are thieves. The penalties in Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangzhou are the same. Wang Shizhen, former Minister of Nanjing Criminal Department, asserted to Minkou people in Chaozhou, Zhangzhou and Huizhou: He is handsome and has a teacher, but he is a coach outside! Everyone is a Japanese pirate except the governor and other senior officials. This is really a desperate scene.
