On both sides of the story, while Zhao Xin and the others were still negotiating with Na Qitai, the management of the Qing prisoners of war gave Liu Sheng a huge headache.
Beihai Town was devastated in this counterattack, and the elite troops of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners of the Qing Army fled for their lives in a panic. However, God's calculations were not as good as those of God. Neither Zhao Xin nor Liu Sheng expected the biggest difficulty since the war began.
It's not transportation and supplies, but so many prisoners. How to deal with and manage them is simply more difficult than fighting!
Needless to say, for housing, the daily food consumption alone is more than seven tons. In addition, these Qing troops must be supplemented with some vitamin C every week, otherwise a large outbreak of scurvy will be enough. But the problem is
Beihai Town itself is also short of vegetables. In winter, besides radishes, there are potatoes. So Director Liu Da suggested that each prisoner camp be given some mung beans and soybeans, and send someone to teach the prisoners to grow their own bean sprouts to eat.
The problem of food was basically solved, and all that was left was to wear clothes. The uniforms of some Qing prisoners were already in tatters, so winter cotton-padded clothes and blankets were transferred from the warehouse in Fuldan City to keep the prisoners warm from the cold.
The above two humanitarian measures deeply surprised many Qing prisoners, and many people were grateful to Beihai Town.
In fact, what Zhao Xin thinks is very simple. These people will all be compatriots of the same country from now on, and there is no need to be so bitter and bitter. Whether they are Manchu or Mongolian, they will eventually become one Chinese nation.
After arrangements were made for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these prisoners of war, new troubles arose again! The guards guarding the prisoners came to Liu Sheng for help every day. The reason was fighting.
The reason why these Qing prisoners of war fought was basically because of their defeat. The officers and soldiers of the Han Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners blamed the defeat on the rebel soldiers composed of border people, saying that they ran away as soon as they saw Beihai Town firing artillery. They were all cowards.
!
The more arrogant Man Ba Banner often arrogantly accuses everyone else, which is a bit like Senior Brother Duan Shui Shui, "Stop fucking! You are all fucking cowards!"
Now it's better. At first, the Han Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners united to fight with the border residents; later, the Manchu Eight Banners singled out everyone. After cursing and cursing, everyone suddenly woke up, so the Manchu, Han and Mongolian Eight Banners
Start beating up the border residents!
My mother, Liu Sheng has done nothing else from morning to night these days. All he does is deal with fights and disputes. At the same time, a group of guards are very anxious, because Zhao Xin once strictly ordered not to shoot prisoners casually. Even if they have to be put in solitary confinement, you can
There must be so many closed rooms.
In the end, in order to stop the fighting, Liu Sheng had to conduct a large-scale inspection of all prisoners of war, and separated them according to their respective flag camps!
Do you think this is over? That’s weird! The prisoners of war who have had enough to eat and have nothing to do continue to curse across the fence and barbed wire. They are full of tricks and do not use the same thing every day. From the eighth generation of their ancestors to the third generation
Road, from the time when the Ming Dynasty had not entered the pass to the current "Qianlong Era".
The soldiers who were responsible for guarding the prisoners were all refugees from the island country. They spoke Mandarin fluently, but they had not yet learned how to curse. Everyone was dumbfounded and fascinated. They were all talking in private. Chinese culture is really unfathomable. Obviously,
I can understand every word, but I have no idea what it means when put together.
It wasn't until Zhang Bo overheard it when he brought someone to install an ore phone at the guard post that he told Liu Sheng. Liu Sheng was so angry that he ordered that any prisoner in the battalion who went out to curse again would have one day's rations deducted.
But then the prisoners of the Qing army also said when begging for mercy, uncle, it’s not that we want to curse, we really have nothing to do!
Liu Sheng was so angry that he couldn't help but Zhang Bo gave him an idea.
"What?! Set up a loudspeaker? You live and eat every day and don't do anything, but you still want to listen to operas and storytelling for them? Grandma!"
"Don't worry! I heard you say before that when this prison camp is vacated in the spring, won't it have to be used as a residence for the refugees in Henan? Zhao Xin said several times that there are not enough cadres, so I thought, since
If we can’t keep up with the manpower, why not set up a radio station? Then what policies we have will be communicated through radio! Besides, don’t we have to dig trenches to build transmission lines? It just allows them to move around, and saves energy.
vent."
Liu Sheng thought about it and realized that this was very reasonable. Regardless of whether there would be drama or storytelling in the future, it is true that these people should not be left idle for now! Thinking of this, he said to Zhang Bo: "Do you understand this?"
"Understood!" Zhang Bo patted his chest and said, "I used to help dress up the small radio broadcasters in the village."
"Then you make a plan first. I will give you a warrant. You can requisition whatever you need from the warehouse. Start working first. When Zhao Xin comes back, ask him for anything you need."
Speaking of rural radio in another time and space, it is the kind of tweeter hung on a telephone pole. The main ones used are 25W tweeter and 50W tweeter. In terms of sound transmission distance, the sound transmission distance of 25W speaker is 300~400 meters, and the 50W speaker has a sound transmission distance of 300~400 meters.
Sound transmission distance is 500~600 meters.
Zhang Bo took the order signed by Liu Sheng and went to the warehouse to dig through it. Finally, he found ten silver-gray tweeters, all of which were 25W. Zhao Xin originally bought this because he wanted to play broadcasts on the battlefield and disrupt the situation.
The Qing army was worried about the military. As a result, they forgot about it as soon as they got busy. In addition, a set of wireless broadcasting equipment stacked in the corner also made Zhang Bo's eyes shine.
Originally, Zhang Bo was going to be the head of the Beihai Oil Company this year and was going to do a lot of work. Who would have thought that due to the Qing army's attack this year, the plan would be ruined. The oil dream is out of the question for the time being, so let's just make do with being the head of a radio station.
Speaking of rural wireless broadcasting system equipment in another time and space, it is generally divided into three major parts: the transmitter, the receiver, and the tweeter.
Install the transmitting host in the studio, connect the antenna to the transmitting host, and stand it on a high place (such as the roof). The receiving end is a wireless receiver, whose main responsibility is to receive wireless audio signals; the large speaker and receiver are connected in parallel to amplify the sound. The conditions are good
There are also wireless wall-mounted sound columns and small speakers for every household. But these will have to wait until later. The current playback equipment is a tweeter, so let’s make do with it for now.
So two days later, two hundred meters away from the south side of the prisoner camp, a wood-cut corrugated house with a construction area of 80 square meters began to be built. At the same time, a 30-square-meter guardhouse was built.
The transmission line must be connected from the generator room in Jurgen City. Considering the strong winds here in winter, in order to ensure the safety of the transmission line, underground lines are used.
The biggest project in the construction of the entire radio station is the laying of underground wires. According to the technical requirements of power supply construction, the underground wires must be buried under the frozen soil layer, and the depth of the frozen soil layer in the entire Sanjiang Plain is more than 2 meters.
Considering that the amount of work to dig a deep trench several miles away was too large, Zhang Bo adopted a simple method to halve the amount of work, that is, to dig a trench five meters long, 1.5 meters wide, and 2.5 meters deep every ten meters away.
A total of more than 400 such pits had to be dug from Jurgen City to the broadcasting station.
With a wave of his hand, Liu Sheng ordered all Qing prisoners, except for the injured camp, to take turns to work in the camp according to the camp area. Aren't you free and have nothing to do? Aren't you swearing in the streets all day long to vent? Come on!
For the entire underground cable trenching project, the first step is to clear away the snow according to the planned route, and then to find a large number of branches and dry firewood, and light a fire at the location where the trench will be dug to soften the ground. Wait until the ground is almost baked.
, remove the charcoal and start digging a trench. When the pickaxe cannot dig, continue to bake it with fire.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, trenches were being dug on the permafrost, which made a group of prisoners of the Qing army really complain. The Beihai Town soldiers responsible for escorting and guarding did not tell the prisoners what they were doing, so all the prisoners thought it was Beihai Town.
He wanted to torment them, and secretly cursed them secretly.
Those soldiers at the bottom can still endure hardships, but those generals who have been pampered for many years are in serious trouble. Not to mention others, General Enhai, the "champion of scolding" with a white flag, had blisters on his hands on the first day of work, and the back of his hands were also covered in blisters.
It was cracked by the biting cold wind; after returning to the underground cellar, it hurt so much that I didn't even dare to wash my hands.
This time, no one was free to exchange insults across the wall. After finishing work every day, a group of Qing army prisoners ate a hurried dinner and then fell asleep, so tired that they were still talking and digging trenches in their dreams.
When they go out to work in this kind of weather, even if they hold the steel picks and shovels issued by Beihai Town in their hands, no one tries to escape. Besides, where are they going to run?! When the white-haired wind blows on the wasteland, you will be able to run even a mile away.
If you get lost, you won't be able to survive even a day.
After working for seven or eight days, nearly 500 deep trenches were finally dug. At this time, Zhang Bo found hundreds of three-meter-long steel pipes. First, he cut one end of some steel pipes into a wolf tooth shape with a frosted saw.
At the bottom of the trench, drive the steel pipe in the direction of the next trench while keeping it parallel to the ground.
So the tools in the hands of the prisoners were replaced with hammers. While tapping one end of the steel pipe, they rotated the steel pipe, drove in one piece, and then replaced it with the next one. In this way, they penetrated the two trenches, and then took out all the steel pipes.
.
Next, pass the red PVC wiring pipe segments through the hole, then pass the wires, seal the connection parts of the wiring pipes, and the underground wires are laid. The next step is to backfill the earth and lay it along the ground.
Make good marks.
All the prisoners of the Qing army cursed Beihai Town for torturing people, but under the pressure of the gun, they still completed the backfilling of all the earthwork.
The day after the underground wire project was completed, Zhao Xin and Wang Yuanfang led the team back.
After listening to Zhang Bo's plan for the radio station, Zhao Xin fully agreed and asked Zhang Bo to keep up his efforts. As for Zhao Xin himself, he had to continue to travel busy in order to continue to pour food to feed everyone. For the upcoming gold, Zhao Xin gritted his teeth and endured
Got it!
When the transmission line was energized and confirmed to be running well, the radio station's 3-5 km wireless FM transmitter was connected to the transmission line through a three-phase transformer (400V to 220V.)
The installation of the antenna and transmitter is relatively easy. Zhang Bo has already welded a fifteen-meter-high triangular iron frame out of steel pipes in advance. At this time, he only needs to bury the iron frame in a three-meter deep pit outside the broadcasting station; then install the antenna and
The transmitter is fixed on the top of the shelf, and the black coaxial cable on the antenna is connected to the transmitter.
When the project reached this point, almost all the prisoners of the Qing army understood that Beihai Town was not torturing them, but had a deeper meaning. During the entire project, Beihai Town used a large number of steel tools and various metal materials, which made everyone
The prisoners of the Qing army were amazed.
The last task of the prisoners was to dig a hole half a foot in diameter and five feet deep in the center of each of the twenty-one camps. After the hole was dug, Zhang Bo began to lead people to install tweeters. First, he erected a
A log eight or nine meters high is installed on the top of the log, and then a receiver and two back-to-back tweeters are installed and connected through connecting wires. The power cord is taken out from the broadcasting station and passed through the wiring pipe laid on the ground.
The logs reach the top.
When all the equipment was powered on and after checking that there were no problems with the power supply everywhere, Zhang Bo excitedly turned on the switch of the transmitter. A "beep" sound came from the power-on sound, and the ammeter pointer on the transmitter pointed between 3 and 4.
"Hmm~ um~" Zhang Bo put the microphone in front of him, imitated the tone of the village party secretary, and started the first "rural radio" in the 18th century.
In the prison camp of the Qing army, tens of thousands of prisoners who had just had lunch were chatting boredly. Suddenly they heard a "sizzling" sound coming from outside the door, and they were all startled. Among the prisoners,
Many people were already a little nervous because of the trenching project in Beihai Town a few days ago. So they hurriedly put on their coats and went out to find the source of the sound.
As a result, as soon as they walked outside, they heard a man's voice coming from the air: "Hey, hey! Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Hey, hey?"
"Oh my God! Is this a manifestation of a deity?"
Not to mention the prisoners, even the Beihai Town soldiers in charge of guarding were looking around, trying to find who was speaking just now.
"No! That's where the sound came from!" In the No. 5 prisoner camp, the Buddha with a white flag pointed at the two large loudspeakers on the top of the log pillar in the open space and shouted.
"Ah?! This. This is witchcraft! Splash it with child urine!"
There was an uproar in the prisoner camp, but at the radio station, Zhang Bo got more excited and started talking non-stop:
"Hey, gentlemen, young and old, I am the director of the Beihai Town Radio Station. I want to talk about two things about radio. The first one is that the first set of radio in Beihai Town is launched today! Thank you for your hard work these days.
!Those guys who like to curse, let me tell you, if I see you getting involved in someone (swearing) and making nonsense again, I will tear you apart!
One more thing, starting from noon today, we will broadcast an hour, oh no, half an hour of drama and storytelling at noon every day at Heijia. This drama is mainly based on Peking Opera, supplemented by Shandong Allegro; as for storytelling, it is either Three Kingdoms
, or Water Margin.”
Zhang Bo was speaking enthusiastically when the door of the room was pushed open with a "bang". Liu Sheng stared and cursed: "What the hell are you talking about? Shut it!"
Along with the noise of the electric current, the sound coming from more than twenty loudspeakers suddenly stopped. The tens of thousands of Qing army prisoners present were stunned when they looked at the two loudspeakers in the camp!
