After Zhao Xin and the others saw Huang Maocai again more than a month later, they learned that when Huang arrived at Xinxingsha on the southeast side of Chongming Island that night, there were already more than a dozen large sailing boats moored on the nearby ocean, including medium-sized sailing boats and
Water boat.
The so-called shuttle boat is a lucky boat. The characteristic of this kind of boat is that there is no bow post at the bow position, and the bow is like a big open mouth. The bottom of the boat is painted with white ash to prevent the corrosion of barnacles and other shellfish.
The length of the big boat is between 36 meters and 37 meters, and the width is 7 meters. It has 24 cabins and can carry 1,500 stones. Each ship is equipped with sailors, more than 30 boatmen and 80 sailors. The length of the medium boat is 23 meters and the width is 6 meters.
, 2 meters deep, equipped with sailors, more than 20 boatmen and 60 sailors.
The water boat has a wide deck and wide belly, a shallow flat bottom, a hull length of 22 meters, and a beam and belly width of nearly 6 meters. This type of boat was originally a transport ship type along the Jiangnan coast, and was mainly used at sea in the navy of the Qing Dynasty.
It is used to catch pirates; it is also a large and medium-sized sea-going ship.
(The disadvantage of the large sailing ship is that it has poor maneuverability. It is said that it is as tall as a city and cannot be driven by human power. It relies entirely on favorable winds and tides. However, it is inconvenient to maneuver back. Moreover, its draft is deep, so it can only benefit from the open ocean. In the Caspian Sea, it is difficult to maneuver.
Yijiao is shallow and must be rescued by the sentinel boat.")
Fortunately, Lao Huang's sand ship was hung with the Susong Navy's sentry flag bought for 500 taels of silver, so he passed the inspection without any danger. However, when the Qing army's sentry ship boarded the ship for inspection, Lao Huang tried to
So I asked the general manager about it.
After the manager took the five taels of silver handed over by Lao Huang, he said with a smile: "Thank you for coming back tonight, otherwise we would be in trouble tomorrow."
"Oh. How do you say this?"
Mr. Nabo explained: "According to the order of Master Lan, the Admiral of Jiangnan Water and Land, from tomorrow, the Chongming area will be closed to sea, and all ships will be suspended from going to sea for two days. Ships returning from overseas must be boarded and inspected by the patrol navy before being allowed to enter the inner ocean.
.”
Lao Huang then asked what was going on with these large and medium-sized warships with lanterns hanging on the sea. The boss explained that these were warships from Chuansha Camp and Wusong Camp. The reason why they were assembled here was
Tomorrow morning, we will sail to the Qiansi Islands and Yangshan Islands for inspection.
Lao Huang deliberately pretended to be confused and asked: "May I ask the military master, what happened to mobilize the troops like this?"
The boss then briefly talked about the murder and kidnapping cases that occurred in Yangzhou. While listening, Lao Huang looked very surprised.
It was so suspenseful! Lao Huang was extremely glad that he left early. If he had postponed his departure until tomorrow, he might have bumped into the navy. At the same time, he also began to worry about Wang Yuanfang and others who stayed on the island.
The next morning, Wang Yuanfang arrived alone at the top of Qiankeng, the highest point of Flower and Bird Island. This is the highest point of the entire Flower and Bird Mountain, with an altitude of more than 200 meters. The top is bare and the view is wide. Standing here, you can have a bird's eye view of the entire island.
It is also the highest peak among the Yaosi Islands. The purpose of his coming here is to select the site for the radio relay station to be set up in the future. Anyway, Deng Fei hasn't arrived yet, so he took care of this matter in advance while he had time.
.
At almost one o'clock at noon, when Wang Yuanfang was about to go down the mountain, he noticed a shadow of sails appearing on the sea in the northwest direction. After he watched it with a telescope for a while, several Qing army escort boats finally showed their figures. The bows of the boats.
The bronze cannon reflects the yellow metallic light under the sunlight.
Wang Yuanfang did not expect the Qing navy to arrive so soon. As he ran down the mountain, he used a walkie-talkie to notify Ding Guofeng at the bottom of the mountain, asking everyone to get on the boat quickly; if the Qing army was blocked on the island,
They absolutely can't hold on to this.
After Ding Guofeng received the news, he immediately arranged for everyone to board the ship. He could not take care of the supplies brought by Lao Huang, and a group of girls helped each other again and began to board the ship.
At this time, we saw the disadvantages of the three-inch golden lotus. The more than thirty "skinny horses" couldn't walk fast at all. The sand at the beach was very soft, and they sprained their feet at every turn.
Seeing this, Ding Guofeng, who was in a hurry, could not care less about the relationship between men and women. He picked up a girl with a sprained foot, hugged her and ran to the boat. The girl was so frightened that her face turned pale and she screamed incessantly.
When Liu Zheng, Lu Shoushan and others saw this, they did not hesitate, so they each picked up one of them and boarded the boat. Suddenly there was a cry on the beach.
"Put me down!"
"Don't move!"
Liu Siting was responsible for carrying the fifteen girls onto the boat, carrying them on her back and hugging them. After several trips, she was very tired.
When Wang Yuanfang went down the mountain and ran to the beach, there were still a dozen "skinny horses" and seven or eight girls who had not boarded the ship. By the time everyone got on the ship, an hour had passed since the Qing warship was discovered.
But the Thor hasn't arrived yet, what should we do? All the weapons Wang Yuanfang and his team have are two Negev 5.56mm light machine guns, four pistols, two assault rifles and two SKS. There are a lot of bullets, but with these light weapons alone
It can't even defeat the Qing army's fleet! Not to mention that the opponent's ship has cannons.
Fortunately, Wang Yuanfang and Ding Guofeng filled up the official boat with oil in the morning, otherwise it would be too late to refuel now.
Wang Yuanfang thought that he could only run to Jeju Island, which is more than 240 nautical miles away in the northeast. Deng Fei had said before that his route to the south this time was from the Tsushima Strait and would pass through the southern part of Jeju Island.
So, when the Qing army's warships just passed Goutou Neck on the east side of Flower and Bird Island, they saw a white strange ship jumping out from the left side of the fleet at the speed of flying. And the large glass window on the ship
In the back, a group of beautiful young ladies became an unforgettable scene for many sailors of the Qing army.
By the time the Qing army's warships hurriedly turned around, the official boat had turned into a small white dot on the sea. In this way, Wang Yuanfang and the others entered the vast sea. As for whether the Qing army navy was chasing after them, and for how long?
Then you don't know at all.
The official boat Zhao Xin bought was an inland river speedboat. Although it has a strong endurance, it is in danger of capsizing when encountering large waves at sea; and the small radar on the boat cannot detect very far. Wang Yuanfang can only rely on
Using the compass and memory on the ship, we drove in the direction of Jeju Island.
But the above are not the most terrible things.
When Zhao Xin first took the boat, he did not add water to the water tank because he was in a hurry. When they evacuated before, they left all the supplies on the island. Although there was still some bread and so on, there were 10 for fifty-three people.
Bottle of mineral water.
Now we are in big trouble!
The six men discussed it and decided to keep a bottle of water for themselves, and distributed the rest to the women and children. But this was not enough!
After entering the vast sea, the "skinny horses" began to cry, wondering what their fate would be. A dozen girls gradually began to cry because they had to control their drinking water. Liu Siting was very busy, and after comforting the older ones, she had to go again.
Coax the little one.
The crying of adults and children finally made Ding Guofeng anxious. He went down to the cabin and yelled a few words, saying that if anyone made trouble again, he would be thrown into the sea. Now the cabin was finally quiet, and a group of girls were
He was so frightened that he could only cry softly.
One day later, when Wang Yuanfang and the others arrived at the southern part of Jeju Island, dozens of people on the boat were already thirsty and smoked from their throats. Wang Yuanfang took Lu Shoushan and Xu Dayong to the island to find water, while Ding Guofeng and Pan Xiucheng stayed on the boat to call.
Thor.
Fortunately, Jeju Island at this time was only a place used by the Li Dynasty to exile prisoners and raise horses, and the Jeju Mu Yamen was in the north of the island, and there were only a few small villages in the south. Wang Yuanfang and the others finally found a well in a small village.
But how did you say this? After the girls on the boat with the leaky house drank the well water they brought back, several of them got upset and started to vomit and have diarrhea. Now Director Liu didn’t have any other options.
I didn't expect such a thing to happen, and I didn't prepare any floxacin-type drugs.
Dozens of people stayed like this for two days, and finally relied on the communication equipment on the official boat to contact the Thor that had just passed through the Tsushima Strait, and finally returned safely.
After listening to Wang Yuanfang's story, Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng were both sighing and feeling lucky.
If Wang Yuanfang hadn't made a decisive decision and retreated immediately, he would have been rounded up by the Qing navy. These thin horses have all seen Lao Huang. Once captured and interrogated by the Qing army, Shen Jingdan's line would be over.
In the next two weeks, these "intellectual women" and girls headed by Tang Xiao gradually settled down in Beihai Town. In order to accommodate them, Zhao Xin asked Chen Qingsong to build several sets of wood-carved corrugations for them, and arranged for security police to stand guard and patrol.
Because of their language and living habits, the fifteen trafficked girls were also taken care of by these "skinny horses".
During this period, Liu Siting took A Miao and a group of female nurses to conduct physical examinations on the new women. The results of the examinations were almost all malnutrition and too thin! As for the issue of the three-inch golden lotus, Director Liu allowed him to grind.
Despite their lies, these girls were determined not to put their feet down. There was no other way, so Director Liu had no choice but to ask a carpenter to make a wooden stick for each of these girls so that they could walk with them when they went out.
The arrival of thirty-two women with small feet from the Qing Dynasty caused a sensation in Beihai Town. Every day, men and women came to the house to see the strange things. Whenever someone watched outside the house, Tang Xiao and the others would be frightened and closed the door.
Not to be outdone. And Tang Xiao and the others' figures and style also made the homeless people admire them. Not to mention the men, even the women were envious. These are the beauties from the celestial dynasty!
Zhao Xin was very helpless about this. On the one hand, he conveyed the order to the refugees through the district chiefs not to watch; on the other hand, he personally explained to Tang Xiao that the purpose of bringing them here was to teach children to read.
After Tang Xiao met Zhao Xin himself, he finally understood that the man who went to choose a thin horse at home was the mastermind who turned Yangzhou City upside down and was also the big boss in this town.
However, what shocked Tang Xiao and the others the most was that the men in Beihai Town did not have braids and had short hair. These were clearly a group of "anti-thieves"! A group of alien barbarians!
During this period, most girls accepted their fate uneasily. After passing the assessment of the nine-member group headed by Lao You, they began to teach children in school and teach them how to read and write. When they discovered that there was actually another person in the school
When they met a Qing woman named Shen Xuan, they gradually understood that Zhao Xin had not lied to them.
Before the end of September in the lunar calendar, the first wave of wheat sown began to be harvested. Due to the emphasis on black soil, no pesticides and chemical fertilizers were used during the wheat growth period, and even field weeding was done manually.
Thanks to Chen Qingsong's efforts, Beihai Town has reclaimed a total of 50,000 acres of farmland this year. It sounds like a lot, but in fact it is only 500 acres. According to the allocation standard of 50 acres per household, only 1,000 households have been allocated , and Beihai Town now has more than 4,000 households. Chen Qingsong’s reclamation target for next year is 3,000 hectares.
The roaring machine sounds and spectacular sights during harvesting attracted many people to the fields to watch. When the ancient people in Beihai Town saw the RX 9620 driving over the wheat fields, they not only completed the harvesting, but even the wheat stalks were crushed and transformed. It was turned into fertilizer and returned to the fields, and everyone agreed that it was caused by Zhao Xin's "supernatural power".
Shen Xuan, who brought the school children to watch the harvest scene, listened to the refugees' comments and looked at Zhao Xin with a different look, her bright eyes filled with brilliance.
When Tang Xiao and the others saw several huge RX9620s for the first time, they were all frightened. No matter how much the students around them urged them, they never dared to take a step forward. Until Shen Xuan explained to them that this was just for a purpose. Only then did I dare to get closer and look at the farming machinery.
"Forget it, take your time." Zhao Xin thought helplessly.
Although superstition is not good, it makes him very effective in giving orders in Beihai Town; sometimes Chen Qingsong explains things to the refugees for a long time but to no avail, while Zhao Xin lets the refugees go to work with just one sentence.
The yield of wheat harvested for the first time is not high, with an average of more than 300 kilograms per mu. According to Chen Qingsong, it is already very good to have this harvest in the first year. The next step is to start implementing methods commonly used in other time and space. The "early, narrow and dense" cultivation model, through reasonable dense planting, optimizing the fertilization structure, strengthening water and fertilizer management and timely pesticide control, is expected to produce more than 600 kilograms per acre next year. And now Fang Hua, a chemistry teacher, has , you can design different fertilization amounts and fertilization ratios by testing the nutrient content of the soil in different plots.
After the autumn harvest, intensive land preparation work begins again in the fields, so that the land can reach the best sowing condition to survive the winter.
In early October, after the engine overhaul was completed, the Thor took more than 300 Qing captives and two platoons of soldiers to search Lengji Island. The gold mining that Zhao Xin had always missed finally started. The former Pirates II The boss, Wang Changsheng, and his subordinates were promoted to mine supervisors.
Faced with the lonely island and the guards who were armed with live ammunition, Ouchi guard Li Dagang finally gave up his plan to escape from prison, and like other ordinary Qing soldiers, he began to live as a miner twelve hours a day.
Although Zhao Xin was very strict with these people, he never skimped on food. Therefore, although the life of the miners of the Qing army prisoners was hard, they only had enough rice and steamed buns every day; they could also eat meat once a week. This was not the case in the Qing Dynasty. Many people's mentality gradually began to change in this subtle way, until one day they subconsciously said "We are in Beihai Town".
A year has passed since Zhao Xin came to this era. He thought he was still the compassionate guy, but in fact, he had changed unknowingly. He had changed from a passionate young entrepreneurial boss to a capable A powerful man in charge of the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people in Beihai Town.
On the eighth day of October in the forty-ninth year of Qianlong's reign, Fukang'an, who was far away in Gansu to deal with the aftermath of the "Hui Rebellion", read a copy of the official document sent by the Military Aircraft Department about the three major cases in Yangzhou and the Jiangnan Water and Land Admiral's Yamen. After thinking about it,
, he wrote a memorial to Qianlong.
Under the bright candlelight, a twisted warhead was placed on the table.
This was picked up by him on the battlefield of Furjiaha River.
