Xianfeng Water Transport History

During the Xianfeng years, the mountains and rivers were in turmoil, and the national fortunes were in decline. Water transportation, a water project that maintained the lifeline of the Qing Dynasty, hid the ups and downs of the troubled times and the grievances of the world, and also buried the love between sons and daughters who depended on each other for life and death. A private water transport fleet travels between the Jizhou Canal and the Yellow River's rapids. It travels between the north and the south all year round, carrying grain and official silver, and travels through the villages along the river, the reed shoals and the vast mist. The journey of the boat is filled with murderous threats at every step: local snakes along the coast block the road and plunder, and gangsters wait for opportunities to seize the treasure; romantic courtesans lay gentle traps, and the gangsters secretly plot against the fleet; unknown and mysterious water objects are hidden in the deep water, and the undercurrents are dangerous and unpredictable. Wandering in troubled times, a group of people from all walks of life gathered on the boat. At the same time that the White Lotus Rebellion swept across the north and south, the imperial court launched a massive encirclement and suppression campaign, and the flames of war spread across both sides of the river. This fleet was forced to get involved in the confrontation between the government and the people, and the fighting in the rivers and lakes. Everyone must not only survive in the waves and maintain justice in troubled times, but also hold on to the burning love and hatred in their hearts when their home country is in turmoil.
