Chapter 40: A series of sets

In early August, Kyoto Soshi Daiji, Ye Zhao was in a strange mood, and the land east of Boli to the coast of Whale Sea (*** Sea) is also in the hands of the empire, and the empire is still the only neighbor of North Korea.

The resources outside the pass are abundant, and it is a dense area for private investment in the past two years to build railways. The main railway, Fengtian to Changchun Hall, Jilin Prefecture's railway has been opened to traffic, and the Jilin-Boli line is also under construction.

It’s only more than ten days from the capital to Boli. You can take the train to Jilin Prefecture first, and then change to a fast horse to Boli.

Boli City has built a dock, a small iron factory, a chemical agent factory and other factories. Small gunboats cruising in the river, confronting the strongholds that the former military and civilians settled and reclaimed along the lower coast of Heilongjiang.

Boli City adopted the unique political framework of the militia system of the empire, which was similar to the military households of the previous dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. The agricultural population of the whole city was "building militia household registration". The empire allocated land for the "militia households" and collected a certain amount of land rent. The males of the "militia households" over the age of 18 and under the age of 45 are reserve militias. They conduct military training during the slack farming period, and are managed with the structure of divisions, corps, battalions, and whistles.

Of course, guns are hidden in the arsenal on weekdays, and only the regular "public security camps" that were drawn and set up from more male families in turn are equipped with equipment for 24 hours. The first-level units of the Immigration City Division may have 5,000 to 7,000 to 7,000 firearms such as fast guns, slow guns, muskets, bird guns, etc., and also have weapons such as guns, spears, steel knives, which cannot be compared with regular troops.

The construction of militia corps was a special system in a special historical period. It was common in the immigrant towns on the border of the empire, such as Kokhan City, Turkestan City, Dushanbe, Bishkek and other cities.

In Boli City, in addition to the farms of each corps, there are also royal farms. The *** Islands are all royal farms, forest farms, and mines. The total area of ​​each island of Heixiazi is nearly 400 square kilometers, with extremely rich resources. However, Ye Zhao agreed that the Privy Council set up an imperial farm in *** and classified the entire Heixiazi Islands into imperial farms was not for its value, but as the Privy Council said, it showed the Empire's determination to exist in the Northern Territory and the Royal Family's determination.

The "military households" of Boli City have the responsibility to protect the imperial villages and are willing to immigrate. After all, Boli is adjacent to the front line, which is different from the immigrant cities in the Western Regions. The establishment of the imperial village is extremely necessary to appease the people. Most of the immigration sites along the Heilongjiang River have imperial villages at the same time.

This kind of militia town can expand famines and migrate, alleviate the pressure on the empire's arable land, and can gradually resolve the refugee chaos in the years of natural disasters; second, it can arm itself and have a certain border guard ability; third, it can provide part of the food for the border garrison. It can be said to be a killing of the number of people.

In the *** Imperial Village in Boli City, in addition to the recruitment of mainland farmers, there are also a large number of Russian serfs. For example, the women, children and serfs captured by Ye Zhao more than ten years ago, many of the children have grown up and become members of serfs. There are also Russian immigrants arrested in the past two years. For example, the Russian immigrants who became prisoners of Boli City, most of them became serfs in the imperial village. In the entire *** Imperial Village, there are more than one thousand Russian serfs, most of them are women.

At this time, Ye Zhao was walking next to the Huangzhuang reclamation area of ​​***, with fields crisscrossing the fields. The clear water irrigated from artificially excavated ditches slowly flowing through it. This area is a wheat field area. The wheat has just achieved a bumper harvest. In the fields, there are busy hiring farmers, who are replanting autumn cabbage and radish. In the Heilongjiang River Basin, the winter is cold and long. However, if you cultivate spring wheat, you can replant a round of winter storage vegetables from the ripening of wheat to the winter.

The dirt road between the fields was extremely narrow, and there were only three or four people walking in parallel. Twenty or thirty guards surrounded Ye Zhao and walked. During the busy farming period, no one knew that the emperor came to the farm. At most, he looked at him curiously for a few times, and most of them guessed where the accountant came from the capital again.

It just rained yesterday, the air was very fresh and the breeze was blowing, and there was no heat in the midsummer.

Ye Zhao had already cut his hair and was wearing a snow-white Zhongshan suit. He looked like a halo.

Ye Zhao has studied a variety of hairstyles with his matchmaker, but for all hairstyles, don’t wear a shiny crown and a purplish head to show its solemnity. In the end, Ye Zhao simply cut his braids and still has short hair.

However, with the royal family and nobles began to wear yarn crowns, yukao, Chinese robe, classical yarn crowns, and Song robe with straight necks became one of the dresses for important festivals and occasions. Then this trend gradually became popular among the people, such as ritual occasions for worshiping the world, worshiping ghosts and gods, and folk clothing began to be solemnly concerned.

When the primary school students of the Empire enter school, they will hold a grand ceremony of "opening the pen and breaking the mystery". The students wear veil crowns, wear Chinese Confucian scholars' robes, worship Confucius' statues in the Confucius Temple, listen to the school principals teach the way of loyalty and filial piety, and give blessings and encouragement to the imperial royal family to enter the school nationwide. This is the eight-character paste written by the empress, "doing upright things and being upright people". This tradition has continued to later generations. To a certain extent, later generations of students first knew Rong'er and then knew Ye Zhao.

Squatting on the ditches, the water flowing was clear and clear. Ye Zhao couldn't help but reach out to hang a handful of water, which was cool and sweet, refreshing. Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Good water!"

The Empire has begun to replace the popular steam piston water pumps in Europe with electric piston water pumps. Water well water pumps gradually appear in the fields to get water. Of course, these water pumps appear in the Empire collective farms, because the water pumps also need to be equipped with small generators and small peasant economy, and are temporarily unconditionally equipped.

However, the irrigation water used in the Boli area all refers to the river water, so the river water is so sweet and clear, so how can it not make Ye Zhao sigh?

Standing up, Ye Zhao waved his hand: "I'm back!"

In the city of Boli, there are some Russian buildings, the Orthodox style, the onion-topped buildings, and the brightly colored dome spire, which are quite beautiful in terms of aesthetic sense.

The original Tsarist Lord's mansion where Ye Zhao lived was this kind of style. It was just piled up with stones, rough and simple. After all, the construction equipment that immigrated in the Far East was simple, so I was afraid there would be no real architect.

After entering the study room to read the telegram, a short while, there was a knock on the door, and a charming and charming voice outside: "Long live, I'm back."

Ye Zhao laughed and said, "Come in."

This time, Boli brought Jin Feng. One reason was to manage the accounts of the imperial bank, and the other reason was to abolish the identity of Russian serfs, give them the status of hiring peasants and imperial citizens, and allow them to marry freely. Of course, after investigation, more than a hundred people were thieves and criminals in Russia, and some people who once oppressed the Chinese but did not kill them. These people would not be liberated, which was equivalent to labor reform.

The Russians who became freely hired farmers signed a labor contract with the imperial village again. From then on, they had money to get money and could leave the imperial village freely. But I think no one would choose the latter. In this imperial village, safety is very guaranteed. Outside, these Russian women are like lonely geese. Who knows how terrible things will happen?

"Is it done?" After Jin Feng came in, Ye Zhao asked casually, saying that Jin Feng was very relieved to do things. Now the girls of the Forbidden Palace also perform their own duties, such as Concubine Lan, who is very close to Zhu Sisi. The two often discuss the affairs of the Council of the Council. If they were not as Concubine Lan's identity, Ye Zhao would really want to send her to the Council of the Council.

Among the imperial concubines and imperial concubines, even Niu Hulu and Hua Ji found their own fun. Niu Hulu had vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name and lived a very peaceful life; Hua Ji became a nanny and coaxed two little girls to play all day long.

During this period, the girls have not become pregnant again, which makes Ye Zhao wonder if he has any problems, but it cannot be verified.

"Jinfeng, come on, I'll take you on a horse." Ye Zhao stood up excitedly.

Jinfeng's eyes lit up with watery charming phoenix eyes. Although she was a little scared, she was not her own man spoiling her? Jinfeng called Ye Zhao the husband in her heart. Every time she thought that her husband was the Long Live Master and the Imperial Concubine, her body was light and she was the concubine.

More than half an hour later, dozens of fast horses galloped on the grassland. In the West, the lush and verdant primeval forest could not be seen at first sight, and from time to time, flying birds and beasts chirping and roaring.

Holding the soft body of Concubine Jin galloped on the vast wilderness of the sky, it really made people feel excited.

The golden phoenix is ​​wearing a gorgeous cheongsam with pink and red flowers, with beautiful legs in stockings, and a pair of soft feet in red high heels. It emits an attractive light under the noon sunlight.

Holding her soft waist and galloping on the horse, it was like a concubine who had robbed the civilized world of the Republic of China, and it was so inconsistent with the vast world around her.

Jinfeng was so scared that her pretty face turned pale, her eyes were closed tightly. Kodan grabbed Ye Zhao's clothes with her little hands. It seemed that if there weren't a guard on her side, she would have screamed long ago. She had endured it very hard, right? It made Ye Zhao laugh.

"Xu, Xu..." On the edge of the dense forest, Ye Zhao held the horse and jumped off the horse with Jinfeng in his arms. Jinfeng's legs had already become weak, and they staggered and collapsed in Ye Zhao's arms.

Several female servants rushed over quickly, stepped on the weeds half a person tall, and then pulled the folding wooden chair away and arranged it carefully. Ye Zhao sat in his arms with Jinfeng. Some of the guards went to play wild game, some stood nearby to guard, and some rode horses to watch from afar.

"Steal your life and leisure in the day!" Ye Zhao sighed with the soft golden phoenix.

Jin Feng was gradually terrified and forced a smile.

Ye Zhao said: "You are not as good as Hua Ji. Hua Ji dares to ride a horse."

Jinfeng whispered: "I will go back and practice hard."

Ye Zhao laughed silently and said, "There is no need. From now on, it is easier for you to learn to drive than to learn to ride a horse." As he said that, he stood up and looked into the distance and said, "I originally wanted to fight a few rabbits with you, forget it, let them do it."

Jinfeng hurriedly said, "Long live with you."

Ye Zhao waved his hand: "No need."

Jin Feng said: "Long lively, it is rare to breathe out. Jin Feng doesn't want to wipe out the pleasure of Long lively."

Indeed, although Ye Zhao was not as busy as before in the political affairs of the capital, he only needed to grasp the general direction, but he couldn't stay idle and taught at university as a civil and military official. Moreover, he was named a special consultant at Renhe Hospital in the capital to master the clinical feedback information of aspirin and new anesthetics.

There is no way, he made aspirin, and he improved the anesthetics. Although he is a chemist and not a medical scientist, he is really worried if he doesn't focus on it.

Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) was actually born in a chemical laboratory more than ten years ago, but it did not attract people's attention. The Chemistry Laboratory of the Royal Academy of Sciences led by Ye Zhao cooperated with the Medical Laboratory to start clinical trials at Renhe Hospital and registered patents.

As for anesthetics, diethyl ether and chloroform are actually very common in the West, and Ye Zhao only improved the purification of chemical drugs.

Chemists are pharmacists in this world, and Ye Zhao can't do anything about this.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "I have been married for so many years, and I am still so cautious. Jin Feng, we will be separated from each other."

Jin Feng chuckled and said, "It's good to be together. Master Long said that people will be fond of the old and old. When couples get along, they must keep it fresh. Master Long, is I right?"

Ye Zhao laughed, thinking that this was an experience in later generations, and it was a big mistake to this day. Even if you are tired of being with them all day, you won’t be tired enough, let alone have limited time to spend with them. He said, “That’s right, but if you make a bold move next time, I’ll spank you.”

This time when he came to Boli, Jinfeng touched another beautiful baby from somewhere. He brought him to serve Ye Zhao and was driven out by Ye Zhao.

Jin Feng stuck out her tongue, unable to say, and said, "Jin Feng dared not."

Actually, Ye Zhaocai didn't believe it. It's okay for this *** girl to please her in everything, but she has an idea. As long as she doesn't really lose her temper, she won't restrain herself. But then again, if you want to be so hypocritical about this kind of thing, you don't have the intention, but sometimes you also find it quite interesting.

Alas, I have changed a lot.

He stood up and smiled and said, "Let's go, go and play with a blind bear in the woods."

Just as he was touching his gun and preparing to explore the primeval forest with Jinfeng, he rode in the distance, but it was a hot flash in the capital of Satsuma Tozu family. The main castle of Satsuguchi was captured, and Hosokawa Shaobang unified Kyushu Island, and then led a large army to land on Hoshu Island. With Beiqian, the US coalition forces attacked Changzhou Maori.

Looking at the telegram Ye Zhao sighed, the Totsu family and the Maori family were the most troublesome forces to Toyotomi Hideyoshi during the Warring States Period, and there were all unparalleled figures in the Warring States Period. Now these prominent martial arts families have reached the end of their journey.

The telegram also mentioned the battle in the northern part of Honshu Island. Sakai Keiyoshi's Three Vocational Alliance was defeated by the Echinho four-nation coalition forces. However, Daime of the Fumioshi was obviously worried that the Echinho shogunate coalition forces would completely defeat Sakai Keiyoshi and took the opportunity to sweep Muro. Therefore, they began to support Sakai Keiyoshi and the battlefield on the northern part of Honshu Island was in a stalemate. Since the Warring States Period, Daime of the Fumioshi's vassals had been inconsistent with the shogunate. They belonged to the far vassals, but were just nominal surrender. They did not want the shogunate relatives to enter the northern part of Honshu Island.

After reading the telegram, Ye Zhao pondered for a while, then carried the rifle and smiled at Jin Feng, saying, "Let's go and fight the blind bear."

Jin Feng hurriedly followed, wondering, why did her husband like to take him to the old forest? I don’t know what Ye Zhao was thinking, but it was quite romantic to take this delicate modern little *** to hunt through mountains and rivers, right?

...

On August 15, a Chinese merchant ship in Edo was sunk by explosives. Twenty-three sailors who were still on the ship were either killed on the spot or drowned. Although a Chinese reporter who arrived at the scene immediately felt that a corpse was familiar, as if it was the death row prisoner he had reported not long ago that he was sentenced to hang for the murder of a woman, but this thought flashed and he did not take it to his heart.

On August 16, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the atrocities of the *** thugs, and at the same time, he said with a strong attitude that he would no longer recognize the Emperor and the Shogun as heads of state, and called on all parties to immediately stop the conflict of force.

On August 18, Hosokawa Shaobang captured Hagi Castle, the vassal king, and the vassal lord Mori Kei personally took a cesarean section.

On August 25, the Royal Heavy Infantry Imperial Guard Brigade landed in Echizen. This special combat force, the strongest infantry regiment of the Central Plains Empire, defeated the Echizen 20,000 light musketeers with zero deaths.

On September 2, he defeated Sakai Keiyoshi, who was preparing to take the opportunity to counterattack Echigo, which made the *** vassal Daime shocked and dared not move lightly.

At this time, the *** royal family made a request for refuge to the Central Plains Empire, which was probably because Hosokawa Shaobang had recruited merchant ships to prepare to go to Beijing. All signs indicate that an armed group was preparing to take advantage of the chaos in Hosokawa Koiya.

Muren immediately guessed that this was an armed force trained and supported by the Chinese, and was preparing to eliminate the *** royal family to eliminate future troubles. At this time, he had to burn his boats to avoid the disaster of extermination. Of course, he was not allowed to instigate the eunuch. The eunuch received a huge salary from the Interior Office of the Central Plains Empire every month, only a few people in the world knew about it, and it was even more obscured in historical records.

After all, Mutsuhito was just fifteen years old, fourteen years old. He was in a panic at the moment of life and death. Moreover, Kyoto had just become a ruin in the sea of ​​fire. In the time of chaos in the world, the Kyoto Imperial Office was not safe. Emperor Komei's female emperor and divine servants, including the Empress Dowager Kujo Suzi, were all worried and anxious all day long. He was a fifteen-year-old boy, and someone was instigated by someone next to him. What should he do for the moment?

Who knew that this time, the Chinese agreed to the royal family's request for refuge and began to mediate reconciliation between the forces of all parties.

The Chinese also acted very quickly. On September 13, the Peacock Infantry Regiment entered Kyoto. Before Mutsuhito had thought about any conspiracy, he half-welcome more than a thousand people, including the female maid, "loaded the ship". During this period, the royal city guarding the Matsupei vassal army, who wanted to forcibly intercept the emperor's vanguard, was also defeated by the heavy infantry guard brigade.

At the end of September, the *** royal family arrived in Beijing and was placed in the former Prince Su's mansion, and now it was renamed "Anletang".

Almost at the same time as the royal family left Kyoto, the infantry team of Hosokawa Shaobang crossed the sea and attacked Edo Castle and captured Edo Castle. Shogun Tokugawa Ishishi was troubled by the throat, stomach, athlete's foot and other diseases. He was finally overwhelmed and was exhausted when the castle was broken.

Although the Chinese immediately disarmed Hosokawa Shaokuan, Edo Castle undoubtedly fell into the hands of the Hosokawa family.

The Hosokawa clan was a branch of the Ashikaga's lineage during the Muromachi Shogunate. The Ashikaga family served as the chief minister and the guardian of Mikawa. Ashikaga Yoshiki moved to Hosokawa Village, Mikawa, and the Hosokawa clan began to reproduce from then on.

The Hosokawa family experienced the glory of the Muromachi Shogunate, the mediocrity of the Kamakura Shogunate, and then the revival of the Kumamoto family of the Edo Shogunate, and finally entered Edo, becoming the most powerful daimyo in the post-shogunate era.

Hosokawa Shaohan can be said to have the bloodline of the first generation of Shogunate Ashikaga clan. At this time, he occupied Edo. His subordinates couldn't help but persuade him to ask the Chinese to welcome the emperor and lead the general to conquer the rank of the vassal state. From then on, the country of *** entered the Hosokawa shogunate era.

However, Hosokawa Shaobang did not do this, and did not even mention this matter to Ma Bowen, the Chinese Consul General in Edo who had close personal relationships with him. Instead, with the mediation of the Chinese, he negotiated with various forces and enfeoffed the vassals. Some powerful vassal lords were enfeoffed to a wealthy place.

By the end of October, Hosokawa Shaohan announced in Edo that he would establish the *** Republic, and he led his first president, and all the vassal lords expressed their support.

It seems that the world changes, but in fact it is exactly the same as the shogunate system. He is still the general who nominally commands the vassals, but the god Emperor is gone.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China quickly recognized the Republic of *** and signed a series of treaties with the Hosokawa government to inherit the previous dynasty. At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China also expressed its recognition of the independence of the Hosakawa Republic. Although it expressed regret for the Hosakawa Republic's hatred of the Chinese, it did not resort to force. At the same time, it also hoped that the Hosakawa Republic would abide by diplomatic codes and become a responsible government. If there is a tendency to piracy, it would bear the consequences.
