Yan Siqi, the first person to open a platform

First, the legendary experience

Yan Siqi (1589 —— 1625), Yu Zhenquan, a native of Haicheng County. Generous, generous, generous, burly and good at-style. In the history of the development of Taiwan Province Province, Yan Siqi was the first to lead the people across the Taiwan Province Strait, attract Zhang Quan immigrants, and carry out large-scale organized reclamation in Taiwan Province Province, so he was known as "the king of Taiwan Province" and "the first pioneer in developing Taiwan Province Province". General History of Taiwan Province Province is a biography of Taiwanese historical figures, headed by Si Qi.

In the forty years of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1623), Siqi was bullied by an official, became angry from embarrassment, killed his servant, and fled to Japan, where he worked as a tailor and concurrently engaged in Sino-Japanese maritime trade (actually pirates). After a few years, the savings gradually became rich. In the meantime, Siqi often made friends with Yang Tiansheng, a Jinjiang shipowner who was doing business in Nagasaki, and met a group of Minnan people who lived in Japan and engaged in overseas exploration. Because he is a hero, he is famous far and wide, and the Hirado authorities in Japan appointed him as a snail (leader)

In the next four years (1624), Siqi and others are dissatisfied with the shogunate's rule in Texas, Japan, plotting to rebel and participating in the Japanese people's resistance struggle. On June 15th of the lunar calendar, twenty-eight people, including Yan Siqi, Yang Tiansheng, Chen Zhongji (from Haicheng) and Zheng Zhilong (from Nantuo), became brothers and made an oath: "If born in a different day, we will die together". The masses elected Qi Qi as their leader. Unfortunately, the shogunate sent troops to search, and Siqi led the people to escape in thirteen ships. When driving to Zhouzaiwei on the west coast of Jiuzhou, an outer island, Chen Zhongji suggested: "I heard that Qiu Shu is a desert island at sea, which controls the southeast and has fertile land. Take the land first, then invade it on all sides, so you can make a profit. "

On August 23rd of the lunar calendar, Si Qi led a fleet to the Gulf and landed in Hong Kong (now Beigang). Seeing that the land on the island is fertile and beautiful, and there is still a large area of uncultivated land, Siqi decided to open up territory here and do something. Is to collect logging and break the village. At the right time, the natives thought that foreign enemies were invading and gathered to attack. Qiqi left people to appease and agreed not to harass each other on the border. In Ye Ping (now Xingang) on the southeast bank of Benxi Steel, Siqi plans to build a well-shaped camp with a large platform in the middle, making it the center of organizing and directing reclamation. At the same time, Yang Tiansheng was sent to lead a fleet of more than 3,000 people to Zhang Quan's hometown to recruit immigrants.

Yan Siqi is a legend, and his death is full of legend. In September of the fifth year of the Apocalypse (1625), Siqi and his party went hunting in Zhuluo Mountain, overeating and suffering from typhoid fever. A few days later, he became ill and died young at the age of 37. On his deathbed, he called all the people together and told him, "I have been on an equal footing with the public for two years. During this period, I made great achievements and made China famous all over the world. If this ambition is unsuccessful, the middle road will die and wait for it. " After Yan Siqi's death, many people elected Zheng Zhilong as the leader and continued the great cause of reclamation. Yan Siqi was buried at the top of Jianshan Mountain at the junction of Shuishang Township and Zhongpu Township in Chiayi County, and his tomb still exists. Yan Siqi's short and legendary life has written a beautiful page in the history of Taiwan Province Province. His achievements in opening Taiwan Province are treasured by later generations. In order to express their admiration for this hero who started Taiwan, people built the "Taiwan Province Landing Monument of Mr. Yan Siqi" in Beigang Town, Yunlin County. In front of Mazu Palace in Xingang Township, Chiayi County, there are "Si Qi Pavilion" and "Huaiben Building". The five-story "Siqi Pavilion" is resplendent and full of tourists. In Mazu Palace, Yan Siqi's blueprint for the construction of the camp in those days is still precious for people to mourn.

Second, the background of entering Taiwan

Before Yan Siqi entered the "Dongfan", the central government of Song and Yuan Dynasties had sent troops to Penghu twice to take charge of "Dongfan", and both Yuan and Ming Dynasties set up inspection departments in Pinghu (Penghu), which was also under the jurisdiction of this land. After landing in Hong Kong, Yan Siqi saw such a scene: "The land is fertile and rich in products. There are only some She indigenous people and scattered Han people on the island, and the" red-haired "Dutch who were defeated by Yu, the commander-in-chief of Fujian in Penghu and retreated to (the outer port of Hong Kong).

Third, the Liaozhai Foundation

All this gave Yan Siqi the idea of doing something based in Bao Dao. He handled the relationship with Fanshe carefully, and his armed strength also made the Dutch who just entered the island steal pleasure. After gaining a foothold here, Yan Siqi began to plan and develop this desert island. He led everyone to build fences and houses along Bengangxi (now Beigang Town and Shuilin Township) and set up ten squatter villages. According to their different functions, these ten squatter villages are called: Main Village, Qianzhai Village, Houzhai Village, Zuozhai Village, Youzhai Village, Haiphong Village, Caoliang Village, Shaochuan Village and Fufan Village. He put 200-300 people with him in ten old villages respectively, and according to the land demarcated by each old village, Qi Xin worked together to reclaim this fertile land. Because the land here is vast and sparsely populated, it is difficult for 200 to 300 people to meet the needs of large-scale reclamation, so Yan Siqi sent Yang Tiansheng and other assistants to Zhangquan in ten big ships to help the poor, and gave assistance to the villagers who were willing to go to Dongfan: two yuan for one household, two yuan for one household, four yuan for two households and three households in Niu Yi. * * * It is planned to recruit more than 3,000 "Dong Fan" families, and put them in 10 squatter villages. In this way, in just a few years, there are thousands of families engaged in agricultural production in Benxi Steel. Yan Siqi recruited Zhang Quan villagers to farm in Taiwan on a large scale, which opened the prelude to the large-scale development of Taiwan Province Province.

These ten Liaozhai villages are the earliest Han villages in Taiwan Province Province. According to the local chronicles of Yunlin county-oral history of the elderly in Yunlin county, Fufan village is to appease Hongya people of Pingpu nationality in stupid port. Beizhai, located at the north gate of Beigang Town, is a garrison camp and is in charge of nearby Hongmofan (Dutch). On the west side of the north gate, there are a series of names, such as Fanzaicuo and Chexiangkou. At the Chexiangkou, when Yan Siqi ordered the Dutch to trade in order to ensure the safety of the Han people, the (commercial) ship entered and exited from Niuniao Port along Niutiao Bay (a tributary of Beigangxi). "

Today, Hong Kong where Yan Siqi landed has been divided into two prosperous towns, Beigang and Xingang. In the center of Beigang Street, the local people built the "Yan Siqi's Landing Monument in Taiwan Province Province", and two five-story pavilions, "Si Qi Pavilion" and "Huaiben Building", were built on both sides of Mazu Tempel in Fengtian Palace in Xingang to commemorate the sage who developed Taiwan Province Province. In the Kaitai Historical Relics Exhibition Hall on the second floor of Huaiben Building, there is the "treasure of the town hall" depicted in the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty-a schematic diagram of the historical relics that Yan Siqi developed in that year and the prosperity scene after the development of the stupid port.
