Wan Peng? He was born in Wujin, Zhili (now in Jiangsu Province). Tang Shunzhi, a disciple of the plaintext scholar, was a Jinshi in 1553, and was transferred from Songyang to xinchangling. He is upright, honest, familiar with the administration of officials, and proficient in laws and regulations. As the saying goes, "I am the only one to train scholars, and the only one to govern the people.". Give lectures for students regularly, analyze doubts and be diligent. Hearing cases, observing the people's situation, the people are convinced. His greatest achievement was the construction of the city wall of Xinchang County, which was known as a huge project at that time.

The old city of Xinchang County is ten li, one Zhang high and two feet thick. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the city was abandoned. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates in the southeast coast rioted and invaded Ningbo area of Taizhou. They drove straight in and couldn't resist. The fire of war extended to Xinchang. The people of Xinchang were shocked. The people of Xinchang were living in the valley. Even the officers and soldiers fled everywhere. At this critical moment, Wan Peng, a Wujin man, was transferred from Songyang county magistrate to Xinchang County Magistrate. On his way to the county, he heard the police and rushed to the county. Instead, he called on the local elders and fathers to discuss the Anti Japanese law. The elders and their sons went to court and said that the order of the Marquis Wan was the only one to listen. Wan pengnai organized excellent soldiers and gave them sharp weapons. He trained in Yanwu pavilion every day. His reputation was far and near. The pirates did not dare to go near Xinchang County. Xinchang County was safe. Wan Peng called in the local elders and told them that Xinchang was once a rock town, which was seen by the thieves. The day before yesterday, they were lucky enough to get out of the tiger's mouth. In the long run, the only feasible way is to build a city wall. Only when the city wall is strong can they defend it, and only when they can defend it can they live in peace. The local elder said that the order of ten thousand marquis is the only way to listen. Wan Peng told pan Risheng (the father of Pan Sheng, the Minister of rites at that time), Yu Zequan, the counsellor of Guangxi, and LV Guangxun, the Minister of war at that time. Everyone agreed that the order of Marquis was the only way to listen. Wan pengnai reported the request for building the city wall to Hu Zongxian, governor of Zhejiang Province, and Zhao Wenhua, governor of Zhejiang Province. Hu held his proposal but did not give it to Zhao. Zhao said that Xinchang was close to the sea, and stealing without a city was also a abandonment of the people. It was suggested that Wan pengnai should gather scholars and common people, spend the land and resources, calculate the cost of work, take stones from Nanshan, buy materials from four places, and complete Xinchang only after suzeri (negotiated date) was completed The city wall, which runs from the eastern corner to the foot of Nanshan Mountain, crosses the stream in the west to the north, and traces the stream to the East, has a circumference of 1374 zhang9 feet, a height of 18 feet, and a thickness of 17 feet. It is built with strips of stone on the outside and blocks of stone on the inside, filled with earth and gravel in the middle, with female walls (city teeth) built on the wall and four gates built with city buildings. Pan Sheng, the later Minister of rites, went home to visit his relatives. He wrote a special record of the city wall (Lu Guangxun also had a record of the city wall). He said that he traveled all over the country, and the stone city of Xinchang was comparable to the famous stone city of Danyang and the Yellow swan of Jiangxia. In the East, Lin anzhai, the magistrate of Xinchang County in Song Dynasty, had built a stone dike to defend water due to the construction of Xiaoxing house. Now the foundation of the city is attached to it. The dike is higher and the wall is stronger. It has both functions of defending the enemy and flood control. This is one of the largest infrastructure projects in the history of Xinchang.

During the construction of the city wall, Wan Peng personally went to the construction site to measure the earthwork, so that the people could divide the construction, and demolish all the places he passed, regardless of the ancestral temples and tombs. Wan Peng takes a humble attitude and rewards and punishes him for his diligence and laziness. The common people all work hard and strive for success. However, Wan Peng died in an official position because of his fatigue day and night. There is nothing in the room but a bottle of pickled vegetables and a few buckets of rice. The people were moved by his achievements and worshipped him in the western suburbs.
