1540 · 廣東沿海 · 明嘉靖十九年
1540年,明朝於廣東海域把備倭巡海官軍劃為三路,東莞縣南頭城為中路啟程之地,沿線巡經佛堂門、冷水角與十字門等海澳,涵蓋今香港一帶。
In 1540, the Ming dynasty divided the coastal defence troops against Japanese pirates in Guangdong waters into three routes, with Nantou City in Dongguan County as the starting point of the middle route, patrolling sea anchorages such as Fat Tong Mun, Leng Shui Kok and Cross Gate, covering present-day Hong Kong.
