In the early morning at the end of May, as the thick fog had just dissipated, the dock near Chita in Tsarist Russia also ushered in chaos and noise.
Dozens of barges and log rafts coming from Irkutsk have appeared in the sight of people on the dock. Some of these boats are packed with immigrants, some are carrying restless cattle, and some are
Full of hay, grain seeds, farm tools and the like.
In the cabin of the barge, farmers who had migrated from Tobolsk and Yeniseisk provinces were mixed with Cossack prisoners who had just been released from the Siberian penal colony. Drinking, swearing, and frowning
, and more people are full of fear and uneasiness about their future life, and they quietly look outside through the window railings on the barge.
Since Catherine II determined the plan to attack the Heilongjiang Basin, in order to achieve the goal of rapid immigration after invading the Far East, General Suvorov suggested that Catherine II move from exile to Tobolsk Province and Yekaterina.
Ten thousand serfs in Niseisk Province were selected and sent to the Irkutsk Territory to reclaim wasteland in order to reduce the logistical supply pressure on the army next year. After the offensive plan is completed, these people will be transported to the Heilongjiang River Basin.
In 1767, Catherine II issued an order prohibiting peasants from suing their masters. From then on, any accusations made by serfs against landlords were considered false accusations and would be sentenced to life-long exile. In the following five years,
There were more than 20,000 serfs exiled to Tobolsk and Yeniseisk provinces alone.
On a barge waiting to dock, a Cossack man wearing a dirty and torn pullover and a pair of old riding boots with open mouths was drinking from a bottle and humming out of tune.
folk song. He looked around, suddenly turned around and approached a beautiful girl wearing a square shawl, shook the bottle in his hand and said: "Girl, we are finally here. Come, have a sip of vodka."
Let’s celebrate.”
The girl was only thirteen years old. She was a little scared and pulled her shawl, covering half of her face, and turned her head to the side of a woman holding a child. The woman had a sad look on her face, and she and her husband were sitting on the luggage package behind them.
superior.
Seeing that the girl was ignoring her, the Cossack man reached out and pinched the girl's face gently, saying, "Who are you showing me with such a sad face? Are you afraid that you won't be able to find a man in the future? What do you think of me?"
The girl screamed and hid in the woman's arms. The woman's husband, who had been silent all this time, jumped up, grabbed the Cossack by the collar, and said angrily: "You dirty drunkard! She
She's my niece, if you dare to touch her again, I'll throw you into the river to feed the fish!"
The drunkard scolded: "Egor, what are you in a hurry? Whoever Polya marries is not..." He was about to continue talking when he saw many sullen Cossacks in the cabin glaring at him.
Looking at each other, they were so frightened that they stopped talking. After Yegor pushed him away, the drunkard walked toward the cabin door angrily.
At this time, the beautiful Polya suddenly burst into tears in the woman's arms. The woman reached out and stroked Polya's blond hair, comforting: "My child, don't cry, everything will be fine, forget them,
They are already in heaven now..."
As she spoke, the woman herself began to cry. A sigh suddenly sounded in the cabin.
Polya came from Yenisei Province. Two months ago, her family won a lottery and had to move again. People and animals were mixed along the way, and the air in the cabin was poor. Her parents and a dozen immigrants were all
He died of scurvy and was finally wrapped in white cloth, tied with stones, and sunk into the river for burial.
Now that the destination has arrived, she is the only one left in the family. Is this the happy life that the officials say?
Yegor was Polya's uncle, so of course he could take her in. But because Yegor's two cows couldn't get water on the boat, they broke the rope and jumped into the river, and were eventually killed behind them.
The barge was strangled. How could farmers farm without their cattle?
Poor Yegor took out his pipe, smoked the bitter and spicy local tobacco leaves, and murmured to himself: "God, why do you want us to leave our hometown?"
The cabin door opened, and an officer in charge of the escort stuck his head out and said to everyone in the cabin: "We've arrived, everyone, get off the boat!"
At this time, a disheveled guy stood up and said to the officer: "Hey, officer, can you make a fortune by bringing me here from Irkutsk?"
The officer said calmly: "You can make a fortune if you dare to sacrifice your life. Why, do you still dare to question the Governor's words?"
The Cossack holding the wine bottle at the door glanced at the officer and asked, "Are there many women here?"
The officer rolled his eyes at him and continued to yell at the cabin: "Hurry up! Everyone get off the ship!"
So the timid farmers stood up one after another, picked up their luggage and packages, and got off the barge amidst the noise, crying, and complaints.
More than ten days later, the Yegor family followed the foreman to a camp south of Chita. The original felt-like grass here had disappeared and was replaced by dense tent camps. The edge of the forest not far away
, revealing a large area of tree stumps left behind after felling.
Yegor's job is to go to the forest every day to cut down trees, then remove the branches from the felled trees, saw them into wooden boards, and finally send them to the drying room for drying. According to the foreman, these wood are all for
Reserves for next year's shipbuilding. And not only they are doing large-scale logging and land reclamation work from Chita to Nerchinsk, from Barguzin to Selengesk.
Speaking of shipbuilding in Tsarist Russia in the 18th century, it really destroyed the forest. Relying on the rich forest resources, a large part of the newly built inland barges every year are disposable. In other words, after completing a transportation,
It would be sold directly as firewood, and another batch would be built next year. Even by the mid-19th century, there were more than 20,000 ships plying the rivers in Russia every year, and nearly 70% of them would be sold after unloading their cargo.
Sold as firewood.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! As the instigator of this invasion plan, Ivan Jacobi knows better than anyone else that in order to occupy the Heilongjiang Basin, killing alone will not work; with official governance,
People, that is a symbol of sovereignty. He used various lies such as the bottom of Heilongjiang is paved with gold, and you can get happiness there, etc., to bring these yeoman farmers, serfs and prisoners together in order to realize his immigration strategy.
Relying on the Ob River-Irtysh River system, a large number of military supplies and immigrants were transported from Kazan to Eastern Siberia, and then transported all the way to Irkutsk through the Yenisei River system.
In order to prevent the invasion plan from being leaked in advance, Ivan Jacobi set up the gathering points for troops and supplies in Irkutsk and Chita. Because they are located in the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River, when the attack starts next year, all ships will move downstream.
It only takes a few days to cross the border.
At the same time, groups of spies disguised as nomadic Mongols began to move towards the Sino-Russian border between Selengesk and Nerchinsk, waiting for opportunities to cross the border. Their mission was to cross the border to spy on information and obtain hydrological data.
At the same time, look for opportunities to instigate the Khalkha Mongolian tribe and Beihai Town.
...
"Three, two, one, detonate!"
"boom!!!"
A roar like a thunderbolt suddenly resounded through the wilderness, and a large number of soil blocks and gravel flew into the air more than 20 meters and scattered to the ground. The rising smoke and dust lingered for a long time. Those migrant workers hiding in bunkers a few hundred meters away spent their lives.
I have never seen such a scene before. Everyone covered their ears and turned pale with fear.
Fan Tong, wearing a safety helmet, popped up from behind a bunker, looked at the thick smoke billowing in the distance, and said excitedly: "It's so exciting!"
Cao Peng, who was responsible for operating the blasting at the side, said with a proud face: "This is where we are. In a few days, there will be a mountain blasting at Whale Bay, which will be even more exciting."
Fan Tong asked curiously: "Exploding the mountain?"
"Yeah, I heard that a seaport town is going to be built over there, and there is a hill that is too much in the way." Cao Peng closed the cover of the detonator and asked again: "We will organize a shooting at the shooting range tomorrow, will you go?"
Fan Tong said: "I heard Wu Ping'an talk about it this morning, but I ignored him."
Cao Peng smiled and said, "Are you still angry with him?"
Fan Tong arrived two weeks ago with the last batch of fifteen people recruited. After they got off the plane, Wu Ping An drove them to Vladivostok for two days, and then took them to Zhao Xin's small ranch.
Already.
After one night, when Fan Tong realized what was going on, he was already in the eighteenth century. In anger, Fan Tong could do nothing to Zhao Xin and could only curse Wu An'an as an old liar.
Fortunately, Wu An'an has been a leader for many years and is very good at appeasing people. He said to Fan Tong, although there are no blond girls here, there are many girls from the island country. Whichever one you like, I will help you be a matchmaker.
Fan Tong had no choice but to sign the trust document. He idled around in Beihai Town for a few days and wandered around. He found that the island girl in this time and space was not what he imagined at all, so he jumped up and scolded Wu Ping'an again, saying that he was
I was so fooled. After some hard talking, I came to the blasting site to help. Actually, I just came to see what was new.
Cao Peng laughed for a while and then said: "You, don't think about it, how many good-looking people can be found in those who have been working hard for many years. I heard Fatty Chen from the Civil Affairs Bureau say before that these people used to be hungry people.
Like zombies in movies."
The two were chatting while the person responsible for inspecting the blasting site over there inspected all the explosive sites and announced that the alert was lifted. As sharp whistles sounded in various bunkers, thousands of migrant workers entered the blasting site to clean up the rocks.
square.
Fan Tong leisurely picked up the thermos bottle and was about to refill some tea. He found that the kettle was empty, so he shouted to a young man seven or eight meters away: "Spring is coming, go get a pot of hot water."
After hearing this, Chun Lai quickly walked into the bunker and went out to fetch water with an empty thermos. He was transferred from the town hall in Fuldan City. On the surface, he took care of the daily life of the people on the construction site and helped dispatch migrant workers. However,
In fact, he was a "little secret agent" installed by Zhao Xin.
Wu An'an is now in charge of the construction of the thermal power plant in Beihai Town, and Zhao Xin and Chen Qingsong also have a lot of work to do. According to what Zhao Xin and Wu An'an had previously discussed, the more than a hundred new time travellers
It's all under Wu Ping'an's control.
There are specialties in the art industry, Zhao Xin understands this. However, although he does not interfere, the gold medal agent still arranges some things. So whether it is the power plant construction site or the daily life of these newcomers, he can know any trouble.
A few days later, Fan Tong was transferred to another construction site by Wu Ping'an, responsible for the construction of the road from the port to the power plant area. This road will later be used to transport coal from the port to the power plant, so the requirements for the road are very high
, the roadbed must be excavated in the early stage, and then paved with stones, and finally the road surface must be hardened. In order to reduce future troubles, all roads, water supply and drainage, circuits, etc. in all projects must be constructed in advance. It does not take seven years this year
One connection and one level, three connections and one level are enough.
At the turn of spring and summer, Beihai Town has many major projects to be launched, including thermal power plants, small fertilizer plants for the production of synthetic ammonia, and the entire Whale Bay port project. That Portuguese engineer Pereira will
Er followed Zhao Xin's instructions and began to survey and design the military port to the east. Different from Whale Bay, two breakwaters and several forts were to be built on this side of the military port.
In June, the exercise headquarters issued an order for the troops from the Beihai Town training base to move north in batches. At the same time, during the march north, all units were required to conduct day and night real-force confrontation exercises in company units.
The scale of the troop mobilization this time is based on battalions, and each batch is two battalions. The purpose of this is to allow each battalion to conduct actual military exercises in advance on the way to Fuldan City, so as to mobilize various departments to participate in the exercise.
At the same time, it also enables each department to become familiar with various tactical actions before the official start of the exercise.
So on the way from Beihai Town to Fuldan City, the wild animals in the mountains and forests were frightened by the sudden intrusion of humans and were exhausted. Pheasants, wild boars, roe deer and the like became the first few batches.
The army's mid-day meal is regarded as a tooth-beating sacrifice.
Because it was the first time to conduct a confrontation exercise during the march, each battalion was full of mistakes. Some were mistakes by the commanders, and some were tactical mistakes by the soldiers. As for the lack of maintenance of the firearms, the lack of experience in night battles in the mountains and forests was all a factor.
What a joke.
For example, a certain company was responsible for defense and had to dig trenches at fixed sentry posts to clear the firing range. As a result, some people used too much force and dug the trenches too deep, and the surrounding grass was not cleared away. When the opponent crawled up, everything was lost.
Unable to see, they were directly blocked in the trench.
Some troops practice defensive shooting at night. All the machine guns on the position fire at the same time, not even leaving spare ones. The result is a simultaneous ceasefire and loading of bullets.
What's more, the platoon leader of a certain platoon asked his men to run to the back to report the situation to the company commander. Without saying a word, the soldier stood up and ran towards the back. In just a few dozen meters, he was scratched by countless branches and roots. He tripped and fell. After he finished reporting the situation, he turned around and continued running. Halfway there, he found that the shouts of killing in front of him had stopped. After a closer look, he had been going back and forth for a few minutes. The platoon had been completely wiped out. The situation just reported It's like farting.
