Jiang Han led Liu Shang through the hall and came to a huge wooden table.There are more than a dozen books that are more than two inches thick, each of which is two feet long and one foot wide, and the pages are much larger than the books that can be seen in daily life.There were also some supplies of paper, ink, pens and inkstone beside them, and two or three other people were also flipping through these big books and copying something on the white paper from time to time.
"This is a catalog of books and manuscripts that can be borrowed. You first look at the content you are interested in, take a paper and write it down, and I will take it to the counter to go through the borrowing procedures." Jiang Han softly explained to Liu Shang how to use these big books: " You can borrow up to three copies of materials at a time, and you can borrow them again after returning them."
Liu Shang also lowered his voice and asked, "Can the borrowed manuscripts be taken out of the library?"
Jiang Han shook his head and said, "I can't wait for civilians. Only the students of Sanya University run by the government and the public servants in various yamen can register with their documents and borrow the manuscript for a few days."
"So that's it!" Liu Shangxin said that there are quite a lot of rules in this library, but if it weren't for this, the materials collected here would disappear without reason one after another in a few days.
Liu Shang looked at the covers of those big books again. There were literature, geography, science, law, etc. written on them. He was about to read which aspect of information first, and Jiang Han pointed to a catalog on the table and said: "Hai The history of the Han Dynasty, the materials that you need to refer to, probably will be found here."
Liu Shang took the catalog according to what he said, only to find that there are many small tabs densely packed on the side of the book for quick search of the content.Liu Shang quickly found the "War" column, and then opened it from the place where the label was pasted, and saw that there were several pages full of listed items.
The history of the Haihan war is archived in years, counting from the first armed conflict between the landing at Yulin Bay and the navy of the Ming army in 1627, and then all the battles over the years are recorded one by one.Among them, since participating in the Annan Civil War in 1628, the fighting has been intensive year by year, and there are many opponents. Maritime merchants, Shandong bandits, Liaodong Houjin Army and many other forces have had records of fighting.Even the recent battle records with Johor and the United Kingdom on Xingdao in the South China Sea have been added in the last column.
Before Liu Shang came to Sanya, he had a rough understanding of the Haihan war, but the information he had was not as detailed as this record. He had never even heard of many wars that took place in the South China Sea.But considering Haihan's ability and past achievements, these battles should not be fictional.Fighting against multiple forces at such a high frequency, and many battlefields are thousands of miles away from Hainan Island, the human, material and financial resources required are simply unimaginable. This shows the terrifying degree of Haihan's national strength and military strength. .
Liu Shang recalled what Jiang Han said before, just looking at a few battles and adapting them would be enough to talk about for a year or so. Now it seems that if the history of Haihan wars is changed into storytelling stories, I am afraid that the compilation of books will not be able to keep up with the Shanghai Han army. The speed of the battle.However, the Haihan army has a strong military force. It is said that it has never lost any foreign wars, and has gained a lot. Otherwise, with such an intensive war, even if there is gold and silver, it would have been defeated long ago.
Liu Shang turned to Jiang Han and said, "Boss Jiang, there are so many wars, and I don't know which ones are suitable for adapting storytelling when I first arrived in Haihan. Do you have any suggestions?"
Jiang Han said: "I can't say that well. In fact, most of the wars have been tried and adapted in the past. For example, in the battles of killing Shibazhi in Fujian a few years ago, the government even specially arranged plays to be performed in various towns. However, I think the jokes edited by Mr. have a unique flavor. Even if the old wine is put in a new bottle, it should have a good performance. In the past few days, I specifically asked the regular customers in the store, and they all said that the book you said sounds interesting, as long as there is a new one. Make sure to come over and listen to the story. Let me see which part you are interested in, just check the information of that part!"
Liu Shang's mind was not on storytelling, and he was engaged in this business just to have a safe identity to cover up, and he didn't have the intention to slowly delve into the history of Haihan's foreign wars, but today is a rare opportunity to come to the municipal library , and he also wanted to find out how the institution worked.Liu Shang immediately pointed to the catalog and said: "Before I came to Haihan, I heard that Marshal Qian led his army to defeat the pirate Shibazhi and the red-haired allied forces in Nanri Island, Fujian Province. Want to take a look at the relevant information of the war?"
Jiang Han replied: "Although this battle was fought four years ago, the news spread back to the country was very encouraging. At that time, there were many disputes in the country about sending troops to Fujian. It is said that the heads of the executive committee also had different opinions. But after this battle, there were no more objections, and then marched into Taiwan, went north to Zhejiang, and Shandong, which can be said to be the foundation laid by this battle. Mr. Liu has chosen this battle, it is indeed a wise eye!"
Immediately, Jiang Han led Liu Shang to the borrowing office deep in the library, and reported to the staff the war records that needed to be checked.Not long after, the staff brought in three relevant materials. One was the Times special issue "Haihan Times·Nanri Island Battle Documentary" which recorded the whole process of the war at that time. It took three printings to meet the market demand; one was written by Yan Mingjun, a visiting professor at Sanya University and the former magistrate of Danzhou in the Ming Dynasty, "Blood Battle on Nanri Island", which has been included in the compulsory textbooks of Haihan Advanced School; there is another The copy is the article "The Beginning and End of the 1631 Fujian Naval War" written by Ning Qi, the current Minister of Culture and Education. This article he wrote was the manuscript he used to report to the executive committee after returning to Sanya, and it was also published in the official media later.
These three manuscripts have their own characteristics. The first one is a time-sensitive article. This special issue was published on the second day after the Fujian fleet returned to Sanya, so that the propaganda of this war can be launched at the best time. Also received very good results.The second article written by Yan Mingjun, a former official of the Ming Dynasty, is in the genre of poetry and poetry. The description of the war is relatively abstract, and the literariness is more prominent, so it was selected into the textbook as the subject of educating future generations.The third article, written by Ning Qi, one of the witnesses, is more immersive and more detailed. However, because this manuscript was originally an internal reference, there are a large number of military documents in the reproduced collection. The specific figures of the intelligence have been redacted.
In fact, this is not all the collection materials related to this war. In fact, there are at least more than [-] related documents and materials collected in the library. What they borrowed are only the most famous and the most circulated among the public materials. .
What Liu Shang really wanted to see was information related to the political system. At first, he just wanted to borrow a copy of the material to pretend to deal with Jiang Han, so that he could try to get him to borrow some other materials later.However, after actually getting these documents, Liu Shang was quickly attracted by the contents.
Most of the information recorded in it was unheard of by him before. For example, the mission sent by Haihan to Fujian was assassinated in Zhangzhou City, which led to Zheng Zhilong, the mastermind behind the scenes, and the Haihan fleet directly took action. Bringing the Ming army captured Nanri Island, the stronghold of Shibazhi near the coast of Fujian.Later, Shibazhi asked for help from its backer, the Dutch, and formed a coalition force to try to retake Nanri Island, but was defeated by the Haihan Army again.The Netherlands was an opponent that mobilized tens of thousands of people from the Fujian Ming Army and was able to gain the upper hand, but it didn't seem to have any advantages in the battle with Haihan, but was always in a passive state of being beaten.
The official records of the Ming Dynasty did not have much information about the battle that year. The information Liu Shang learned before was that the Fujian Ming army led the battle for the purpose of suppressing bandits. Haihan was only briefly mentioned as a maritime merchant providing logistical support. , but this is obviously very different from Haihan's record.In these three documents, without exception, it is stated that the Haihan army is the main force in the battle, and the Fujian Ming army plays the role of an auxiliary army under the command of Haihan and responsible for logistics transportation. The roles were switched.
Liu Shang slowly checked the descriptions in these three documents, and he basically knew which ones were true and which were false.Haihan's combat records are undoubtedly much more detailed than those released by Fujian officials. There are very detailed records of the ins and outs of the incident, the size of the troops dispatched by the two warring parties, the time of encountering the enemy, the battle process, and the statistics of the results.Moreover, the Haihan people first occupied Penghu, then attacked Taiwan, and then went all the way north to push the controlled area to the north of Ming Dynasty.
Obviously, the Fujian government had seriously fabricated elements in the information it reported to the imperial court and to the society at the beginning, taking the achievements of the Haihan Army as its own, and Xu Xinsu, the general soldier of Fujian, was able to spend money to buy it in just a few years. Come and climb up the total position all the way.However, Haihan seems to have no objection to the officials of the Ming Dynasty taking the credit. Otherwise, as long as the various materials at hand are made public, the Fujian government who pretended to be rewarded will have a large number of black hats. Maybe they are now in Fujian. The indistinguishable Mr. Xu will also suffer a big setback because of this.
Of course, Liu Shang had also heard that Haihan was extremely supportive of the Xu family in Fujian, and there were even rumors that Xu Xinsu was a high-ranking puppet that Haihan intentionally cultivated in the official circles of the Ming Dynasty.Regardless of how credible this statement is, Haihan was able to safely establish routes through the seas of Fujian and establish strongholds in Zhejiang and Shandong further north, which is obviously inseparable from the cooperation of Fujian officials.It's just that these inside stories were not mentioned too much in the relevant documents of the Nanri Island Campaign, and there are only a few records of Haihan sending missions to visit the local area.
As far as Liu Shang knew, at that time Haihan had not yet established an independent country, and the Fujian local government received them with the etiquette standards of foreign envoys, which was obviously an unruly behavior.However, this is nothing compared to the subsequent joint dispatch of troops by the two parties.
If he wanted to adapt this battle into a storytelling story, Liu Shang felt that it was appropriate in his heart. He even quickly outlined some plots that could be processed in his mind, such as the assassination of Zhangzhou City, the attack on Nanri Island, the Allied forces and so on.At that time, Qian Tiandun and Morgan, who led the army to fight, were both well-known generals in the Haihan Army. It is enough to make up a wonderful drama with these two as the center, plus Ning Qi, the civil servant sitting in the rear.
"How is it? Mr. Liu, what do you think of the Nanri Island battle?" Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Jiang Han took the initiative to ask.
"Very good, very good!" Liu Shang recovered from his contemplation, and quickly responded twice: "However, the scene of this battle is grand and the background is complicated. If I want to conceive a complete book, at least one or two It takes a month to prepare slowly and perfect the story, I wonder if Boss Jiang can afford to wait?"
Of course, Jiang Han hoped that Liu Shang would come up with a new story as soon as possible, and it would be best to be able to catch up with the Xingdao battle, so as to avoid losing the source of customers to other places to the greatest extent.After all, he is not the only teahouse in the Sanya port area that has storytellers stationed there. Although Liu Shang's ability to interpret stories is much better than that of the other storytellers, if there are no new products and only talk about old ones, then He is not much better than his peers.
Jiang Han said: "One or two months is a bit too long, it's best to prepare quickly so that I can start publicity earlier, and when you finish talking about the Battle of Xingdao, the momentum for this new book will be built up. Naturally, more people will come to support us.”
Liu Shangxin said that you have a good plan, but my master, I am not here, and I probably won't be able to stay for so long.Of course, he won't reveal any words, just nodded and said: "In this case, I must do my best, but I need to consult a lot of information during the preparation period, and Boss Jiang needs to cooperate a lot."
Jiang Han asked: "Isn't it enough to just look at these materials?"
Liu Shangying said: "This may be enough for ordinary storytellers, but it is not enough for me. What is the route from Sanya to Fujian? The voyage is a few days. You must refer to the chart information, and you can't just talk nonsense. The Haihan Army and the opponent For naval battles, how big is the warship, how many people are on board, and how many cannons, you have to count them to be decent. There are also the names of officials from the Fujian government and the Ming army who contacted Haihan, and you have to verify them one by one, otherwise you can make up names , then there is no credibility, if someone exposes it, wouldn't it be a signboard?"
Jiang Han was not a fool, so he frowned immediately and said, "I'm afraid some of this information has involved military secrets, and the relevant information is not something ordinary people like me can look up."
Liu Shang persuaded: "It's okay, we just need to do our best. In short, the more information we know, the easier it is to write a book. There are evidences to test, and what we say can make the audience more satisfied." convince."

Jiang Han led Liu Shang through the hall and came to a huge wooden table.There are more than a dozen books that are more than two inches thick, each of which is two feet long and one foot wide, and the pages are much larger than the books that can be seen in daily life.There were also some supplies of paper, ink, pens and inkstone beside them, and two or three other people were also flipping through these big books and copying something on the white paper from time to time.
