Chapter 279: Hunting rabbits without delaying anything
When the Thor passed by Ishinomaki Port again, it stayed for two days.
Because it only takes two days to get from Edo Castle to Aoba Castle, the big bosses of the Date family, who had already learned that Edo was bombarded, did not dare to say anything more, and honestly took the people Zhao Xin wanted.
They were all delivered, and there were fifty more.
In addition to the 600 warriors - that is, lower-level samurai - who were assembled from various families such as the first family, the first family, the quasi family, and the first family, the five members of the Zhuang Bingwei family mentioned by Zhao Xin were also brought.
The people were sent over, but none wanted to leave the feudal clan. The Sendai clan still had to retain the official positions and salaries of these people, and their wives and children had to stay in the clan.
In these days, no samurai would leave the samurai of the first class of scholars, peasants, industrialists, and merchants alone unless they were driven mad. Even the small amount of salary would not be enough to support their families.
Because samurai have the privilege of defaulting on debts!
It doesn't matter, Zhao Xin estimates that after these people arrive in Beihai Town and stay for a few months, two-thirds of them will leave the feudal domain and become naturalized, and then even their wives and children will have to be taken away.
There is no harm without comparison!
It is said that Zhao Xin wants to tie the Sendai Clan to the chariot of Beihai Town by forming the Qingye Camp, and these "little big names" of the Sendai Clan also have their own Xiao Jiujiu.
Because of the bombardment of Edo, the Tokugawa family has hated the Sendai clan to death. Now let's talk about the daimyo that the Tokugawa family hates the most. The Sendai clan ranks first, the Owari family ranks second, and the Hagi clan ranks third.
The Owari clan is running for the position of shogun, which is an internal conflict; the Hagi clan is implicated in the shogunate's compensation, which can allow the Mori clan to spit out their capital and profits; as for the Sendai clan, the Tokugawa clan and the shogunate all
In the eyes of the elders, he has become a traitor and brings disaster.
...
Date Shigemura: "I swear in the name of my descendants that I will defend the Tokugawa family to the death!"
Tokugawa Ieki and Tokugawa Haruji, their father and son, and a group of shogunate bosses all said in unison: "Bah! You will never return to Aoba Castle again in this life, unless you retire and give up the throne!"
Date Shigemura: "I don't!"
Well, it's all an illusion...
At the same time, Ishikawa Murafumi and the elders of the Ichikawa clan were really scared this time. Although the shogunate pinched its nose and promised not to punish the Sendai clan, the Tokugawa family really wanted to do some tricks, such as after the news passed, in Date Shigemura
Putting poison in the snacks, the entire Sendai clan could only bite the bullet and admit defeat.
Therefore, the elders of the Sendai clan were heartbroken and decided to hug Beihai Town's thigh. Didn't Zhao Dian say that he wanted 550 people? He would send 600 first. If the effect is good, it would be doubled next year.
If Zhao Dian becomes the emperor of the Central Plains in the future, the Sendai clan will ask the emperor to reward him with several sets of Dabieye in Mingzhou (Ningbo), so that we can also enjoy the unfinished dream of His Highness Taige.
The lower-level samurai who were sent here all looked very energetic, but upon closer inspection, they were definitely undernourished. They had high cheekbones and sunken eye sockets. They were dangling in Wufu and haori. As for swords and wakizashi, what about swords and wakizashi?
, are not allowed on board the ship!
Seeing that the Sendai clan was so sensible, Zhao Xin took out thirty "84" revolvers and gave them to Shibata Kakuzo. In addition to paper-wrapped lead bullets, each gun was equipped with fifty flash caps.
After sending two people to the side of the ship to teach Shibata Kakuzo and others how to load and shoot, Zhao Xin walked up to Shobei's family with a smile.
The confused Shobei family looked at the tall young man in front of them, their knees softened, and they knelt on the deck.
Ever since a few wolf-like officials brought the whole family from Hitachi to Ishinomaki Port, the Shohei family has fallen into great fear. Now they are being taken to this huge white ship by people from the Ishinomaki Sanctuary
, Zhuang Bingwei's family was even more panicked.
"What is this child's name?" Zhao Xin bent down and looked at Zhuang Bingwei's son and asked.
"Sir, this is the villain's son, Lun Zong."
Six-year-old Lun Zong looked up curiously at Zhao Xin in front of him, thinking that this man is so tall!
Zhao Xin looked at Lun Zong with a smile and asked Zhuang Bingwei: "Is this the only child you have?"
"Yes, this is the only child in my family." Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang Bingwei have been married for many years, and it was not easy for them to have a child like Lun Zong. The whole family regards it as a treasure.
Zhao Xinxin said he was not running away! This child would become the famous explorer in history - Mamiya Linzo.
Historically, Mamiya Linzo was proficient in mathematics, geography, surveying and mapping, and had good calligraphy and painting skills. He participated in many civil engineering projects and was relatively proficient in drawing, surveying and other technologies.
This person's greatest achievement was to write a book called "Journey to Eastern Tartar", in which he described the customs and customs of Kuye Island and the upper reaches of Heilongjiang based on his personal experience, and also recorded the Wulin appreciation in the Manchu Dynasty. As the earliest account
This book is a detailed book on the geography of the outer Northeast. This book played a considerable guiding role in the formulation of the future expansion policy of the island government to invade the Northeast.
However, there are two sides to the matter. This book also proves that the outer northeastern areas such as Kuye Island have been the territory of China since ancient times. This is irrefutable evidence!
Zhao Xin looked at Mamiya Linzang, who was only six years old at this time and was still biting his fingers, and was filled with emotion in his heart.
How to put it? At this time, the population of the island country was only more than 20 million, which was not a fraction of the population of hundreds of millions in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. However, from the end of the 18th century to the first half of the 19th century, due to the rise of Orchidism, various learning
Figures with advanced Western science and technology emerged in endlessly, laying many theoretical foundations for the future development of the Meiji government.
And what about the scholars in the Manchu Qing Dynasty at this time? They regarded the imperial examination as the right path, regarded Western science and technology as barbarian techniques, and looked down upon them. Except for the Mei family in Xuancheng, the Wang family in Wujiang, and Li Rui in Suzhou, they could not be found anymore.
Several scientific and technological talents were produced. Apart from publishing a few books, most of these people's energy was spent on helping Shangguan settle accounts, or going to Qintian Prison to work on the calendar.
It takes almost hundreds of years for a character like Wang Zhenyi to appear, but just because she is a woman, she has no place to play.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xin couldn't help but lament in his heart: "Oh, what the old man Lin Ziping said makes sense. No matter how Yi Di changes his face, he can't be orthodox."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In order to establish its own orthodoxy, the Manchus vigorously promoted Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, established a literary prison, and imprisoned thoughts. They really deserved to be beaten.
However, because of the decadence of the Manchus, the cultural ideas that dominated the East Asian cultural circle were eventually implicated as a symbol of decadence and decline. In the end, even the children were splashed with dirty water.
Zhao Xin rubbed Lun Zong's little head and asked kindly to Zhuang Bingwei's family: "How has Hitachi's harvest been in the past two years?"
When Zhuang Bingwei saw Zhao Xin speaking kindly, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and carefully replied: "It's Shanbei (freeze disaster) again this year, and a lot of rice froze to death before it was harvested. Many people planted some buckwheat at home.
, it’s just a hard life anyway.”
Zhao Xin nodded and said: "Come with me. There is no need to worry about food in Beihai Town. After naturalization, each family will have fifty acres of land, and no rent will be charged in the first few years. I will let your Lunzong go to school. This will
The child looks smart and will become a great person in the future.”
Zhuang Bingwei heard that this was a good thing, but after all, he had to leave his hometown. Who knew whether it would be the same as Zhao Xin said when he arrived in Beihai?
While he was hesitating, Shibata Kakuzo, who had seen how to load a revolver, came over and said sternly to Zhuang Bingwei: "You don't know what's going on! Your Highness, King Zhao, personally expressed your kindness, why don't you thank me quickly!"
The samurai master came forward, and he was also a high-ranking official of the Sendai clan. The Shobei family did not dare to argue anymore, and quickly kowtowed to thank him.
When Shobei's family was taken down for resettlement, Shibata Kakuzo invited Zhao Xin aside and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the shogunate is now eyeing my family and they wish they could cut off the seal and punish them severely. Fortunately, Your Highness took care of me, so I hid."
It's been a long time. The gentlemen of this family have asked me to express my gratitude to His Highness. I will definitely obey your orders from now on. This is the gift list. Please take a look at it."
Zhao Xin took it and opened it. In addition to a lot of dried seafood, lacquerware, and Japanese paper, there were actually thirty craftsmen and twenty maids.
Guess, this is a honey trap. Is there any beauty in Sendai? It seems that except for "Ai-chan" who is famous for playing table tennis, there is no one famous in later generations.
When Zhao Xin saw the twenty maids under the guidance of Shibata Kakuzo, he couldn't help but be disappointed.
Zhao Xinxin said that these are also called beauties. They are all only 1.5 meters tall. They look like primary school students, even worse than our little A Miao! The rouge and gouache on her face is so thick that it is almost like a wall. It makes a lot of noise.
If not, it will collapse.
Zhao Xin said to Shibata Kakuzo: "I accept the craftsmen and gifts. Forget about these women, you can take them back."
As soon as these words came out, the twenty maids suddenly looked pale and bowed their heads in silence.
Shibata Kakuzo said quickly: "Your Highness, these women are carefully selected by the adults of this family from their own families. They have already filled out the deregistration documents. If Your Highness does not want them, they will have nowhere to go. Please have mercy on Your Highness."
Forget it, we have taken so many people away, these twenty more are not much. Let Wan Zao's wife take them back and let him arrange it. Zhao Xin himself doesn't want any of them anyway; a lot of "efforts" have been put into it by everyone in Sendai Domain.
This time, I really have to draw water from a bamboo basket, but it will be all in vain.
One day after leaving Ishinomaki Port, the Thor arrived at the last stop on its return journey, Sagawa Port in Ezo.
This time Zhao Xin finally agreed to take Katsuyama Denzo to Beihai Town, which made Boss Katsuyama overjoyed. After spending a day arranging the affairs of the mine, he took more than 20 subordinates and sailors on a Benzai ship.
, followed the Thor in a hurry.
When the ship returned to Beihai Town, the islanders on the deck saw the Thunderbolt parked in the dock at a glance. Wow! Looking at the Thunderbolt, which was twice as long as the Thor, all the new islanders were frightened.
Already.
Lin Ziping stared at the Thunder with wide eyes, and asked Zhao Xin who was standing aside: "Your Highness, does this big ship also use a steam turbine like the Thor?"
Under strong curiosity and Zhao Xin's constant temptation, Lin Ziping finally gritted his teeth and decided to naturalize in Beihai Town when the Thor arrived in Ezo Land; while his student Sato Shinbuchi was still hesitant.
Since he took the oath of naturalization and filled out the identity resume, Zhao Xin naturally allowed Lin Ziping to visit the engine room. As a result, the old man was shocked as soon as he entered. He stood at the door in shock and was speechless for a long time.
Everything here was beyond his imagination.
Although the temperature in the engine room was very high, the noise was very loud, and he would get soaked after staying there for a while, Lin Ziping still stayed there for a whole day, asking the engineer about this and that. This made the engineer very annoyed.
, I said in my heart that I am very busy and yet you, an old man, still ask questions.
What is a steam turbine? What is diesel? What is lubricating oil?
Oops! If I could explain this clearly, I would already be the chief supervisor, who would still be working so hard here!
It is said that the two dozen mechanics in Beihai Town are all students brought out by Deng Fei. In order to teach these people, Deng Fei has been very talkative in the past two years, demonstrating every step of the process step by step.
Because these sailors had no basic knowledge at all, Deng Fei could only ask them to memorize every step of the operation procedure. Don't ask why, just do it like this! If you make a mistake, they will be kicked up without explanation!
After everyone was kicked by Deng Fei at least dozens of times, they were finally able to get on the job. However, if the engine broke down, these people still couldn't handle it.
In addition to the Thunderbolt moored at the port, the three-masted sailboats under repair in the two dry docks are still undergoing intensive construction. According to the transformation plan, these two British sailboats captured from the Tsarist Russians will be loaded into two 180
horsepower diesel engines, one is reserved as a teaching ship for navigation schools, and the other will be responsible for short-distance transportation from Bukhae Town to Ezoji or Jeju Island.
In addition to repairing the damage and dismantling the bottom gun decks of the two sailboats, the copper sheets wrapped in the bows of the ships also need to be removed to increase the coverage of the copper sheets. The purpose of this is to prevent organisms such as barnacles from adhering.
In addition, the navigation school is also preparing to build another motor sailboat using these two British three-masted sailboats as a reference, and will later build an iron ship.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When she saw Zhao Xin walking off the boat, A Miao, who was waiting on the shore, ran up to the trestle excitedly, and immediately jumped into Zhao Xin's arms and hugged her tightly.
Zhao Xin's waist.
Well, it's only been a month since we last met, and little A Miao seems to have grown taller again... Zhao Xin rubbed A Miao's head, and then saw Shen Xuan with a playful expression on her face.
"Child, A Miao is still a child..." Zhao Xin looked at Shen Xuan, and that was what his eyes conveyed.
Huh~ Shen Xuan pursed her lips, which clearly meant "It would be weird to believe you"!
The people from the civil affairs department are responsible for the resettlement of these newly arrived islanders. Everyone must register, take photos, make temporary documents, and wait until they have lived for six months before replacing them with official identity documents. In addition, accommodation must be arranged. , receiving daily necessities, meal cards, etc., etc., etc., it would take a few days to complete.
At present, there is not much else in Beihai Town, except for a lot of houses. There is a construction team under the Ministry of Civil Affairs specifically responsible for building woodcarvings. In the past few months, more than 200 empty houses have been built. The beds and simple living furniture are all ready-made. Yes, once the residents turn on the stove, it will soon become warm.
The samurai of the Sendai clan were arranged into collective dormitories. They were first trained in Mandarin. Once they could understand the passwords, they were then taken to the training base on the east coast. The twenty maids were all handed over to Wan Zao by Zhao Xin. My wife was responsible for the arrangements; the man who was rescued from the water was sent directly to the hospital because he was still unconscious.
When Katsuyama Densan and his group walked off the gangplank, they couldn't even move their legs. He had always wanted to visit Beihai Town, but everything in front of him was so bizarre and unfamiliar.
"Boss Shengshan, please go and register first, and then someone will take you to your residence."
"Ah! Yes, Your Highness. You are busy first, first." Katsuyama Denzo saw the two beauties, one big and one small, beside Zhao Xin. He couldn't help but be so shocked that he couldn't even speak.
Zhao Xin and Shen Xuan got tired of each other for a while, and then asked her to go back to school first, and he would go to Shen Jingdan's place for dinner in the evening. When he returned to his office in the town square with his follower A Miao, he saw that he had gone from suffering to pain. Zhang Bo withdrew from Ye Dao.
Half a year later, Zhang Bo lost a lot of weight and looked tired.
But when this guy saw Zhao Xin, his first words shocked him.
