Chapter 355: To intimidate the tiger, no one dares to get married
Two days later, as the content of the notice spread throughout the city, the anxiety of the people in Heilongjiang City was temporarily relieved. Since the Beihai Navy was stationed in the city, they only patrolled the streets and maintained order when collecting food, and did not visit the door at all.
Actions like arresting people.
On the third day, Guo Dalu and Li Bi posted another notice in the granary, recruiting people to work. The content was that everyone, regardless of gender, old or young, would be given five cents of silver dollars in addition to food every day.
There are too many silver coins in Beihai Town to spend now. Instead of leaving them to oxidize in the warehouse, it is better to take them out and make good use of them. Didn't the Manchu Qing Dynasty provide various benefits to the border residents? Zhao Xin distributed money and bought things with the money.
After hearing the news and registering, the border residents who applied for the draft first received tools such as shovels, picks, and saws. When they learned that these tools would be theirs after the project was completed, they were shocked. They were made of fine steel.
What a good thing!
The first task these people received was to demolish the city wall. The first thing to demolish was the wooden city wall on the south and west sides. Generally speaking, the various towns built in the Northeast during the Qing Dynasty were mainly divided into two categories, military functions and administrative functions.
Function; those with military functions will have city walls, but those with administrative functions will not.
The city wall of Heilongjiang City is the same as that of Ninggu Pagoda in the past. There are two rows of trees planted around the city, with earth and rocks mixed in between. In the 18th century, the Northeast was full of primeval forests. Giant trees that could be hugged by one person or even by two or three people were all over the mountains and fields. No one would smoke them.
Build a stone city like crazy.
For the Beihai Navy, these city walls are of no use except to defend against wild beasts. Rather than doing this, it is better to dismantle and repair the fortifications.
Another day passed, and a new "Beihai Trading Company" opened near the Chenghuang Temple on South Street in the inner city. Anyone with a discerning eye would know whose business it was. The store closed very late, and after dark, two bright lanterns were hung at the door.
, very conspicuous on the dark South Street. It sells all kinds of strange and weird gadgets, and the prices are very cheap.
There is a magical fire stick that can be lit at a stroke, an angry wind lantern that is brighter than a lantern, cotton cloth, silk satin, grain, dried meat, various sewing buttons, and even tea, wine and tobacco.
Many people came here after getting their wages every day and took a look around after dinner. At first, men came, and within two days, women gradually joined in. They couldn't put it down everything on the shelves. And when a shop
When the "shopkeeper" saw the embroidery on the leather products worn by men and women of all ethnic groups, he actually proposed to buy them. Such as cloth-waisted boots, cigarette purses, short-waisted leather boots, leather gloves, leather backpacks, and other items worn in winter and spring.
They wanted all kinds of leather robes, and the prices given made these women very satisfied.
The Manchu, Daur, and Oroqen women in Heilongjiang City are all good at embroidery. They usually do housework at home, among which sewing and embroidery play a major role. Girls begin to learn to sew shoes when they are fifteen or six years old.
They learn needlework such as socks, and then learn to sew clothes and embroidery; when they get married, they have to prepare many pairs of socks. In order to make the soles of the socks strong, they tie the soles with cotton thread and tie many patterns on the soles, which are beautiful and durable.
The embroidery on shoe uppers, cigarette purses, and pillow tops is even more elaborate.
This move by the Beihai Navy has benefited many families, and the women no longer need to go to the city wall construction site to dig dirt and move wood. They first went home to find the embroidered leather products they had made before, and took them to the trading company to exchange for money.
, and then bought more and better needles and threads to continue embroidering. Within a few days, the warehouse of Beihai Trading Company was filled with a lot of collected leather products.
By this time, when the men, women, and children in the city saw the soldiers patrolling and guarding the Northern Navy, they no longer dared to breathe as before; they would say hello with a smile. Some bold unmarried Daur women saw the heroic and upright Northern Navy soldiers.
When he was a soldier, he even showed a shy expression, which made the soldiers on guard feel their hearts pounding.
This is how people's hearts and minds are gradually accumulated bit by bit; for Beihai Town, which has been generously generous, this is just the beginning.
On the eighth day after the Beihai Navy entered the city, the city residents and Qing army wounded who had been notified the day before gathered at the north gate after breakfast. Today they were going to the north of the city to participate in the "public trial" of the Rakshasa prisoners.
When nearly two thousand people followed the road signs to the designated location, they were surprised to find that a large platform had been set up on the site. The high scaffolding was covered with green pine branches and reeds. If they hadn't seen a banner affixed to the scaffolding,
Many people thought this was a stage.
"Master Li, what's written on it?" The wounded Qing soldier with a bandage on his arm couldn't help it anymore.
"See for yourself." Li Yansheng rolled his eyes, thinking that this kid is so talkative.
"Little one, little one doesn't know how to read."
"What a fucking trouble!" Li Yansheng's eyes widened, he used his hands to build a tent, looked carefully, and said slowly: "A public trial meeting for Rakshasa crimes?"
"What is a public trial?"
"I don't know!" Li Yansheng thought to himself that these rebels just took off their pants and farted. If he had his way, they would all be taken to the edge of the Heilongjiang River and chopped up to feed the fish. More than a dozen of his men have landed in Rakshasa.
He died in the battle that day, and Li Yansheng himself suffered a gunshot wound to his head, so he hated these red-haired Rakshasa with an itch.
There were many stools made of round wooden piles placed in the open space, densely packed in a large area. Not long after the residents sat down, a melodious flute sound suddenly came from the platform, resounding through the wilderness, and everyone present was immediately
The people were startled and the whole place was in an uproar.
"A big river..."
Okay! Someone is actually singing.
The men and women present stood up and looked around one after another, but after looking for a long time, except for a few men on the stage who were busy with their heads down, the woman singing did not show up at all!
After listening for a while, although many people present could not understand what the woman was singing, they could still hear her soft and melodious voice and her high-pitched voice. The people who were originally noisy gradually became quiet, shaking their heads and immersed in the beautiful tune.
inside.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Good guy! This woman is amazing! This voice can be heard miles away."
"That's right, it's better than what those Oroqen women sing."
"Shut up! If you talk any more, I'll beat you to death!"
Seeing Li Yansheng's angry face, all the wounded Qing soldiers shut their mouths.
"Why does this woman singing have a Shanxi accent?" Li Bi, who was sitting in front of the crowd, felt homesick as he listened to the intoxicating tune. This tune was different from any ditty he had heard before. Li Bi
It was difficult for Bi to describe what it felt like. He only felt that the blood was surging in his chest, his heart was surging, and his eyes were wet.
After the song ended, the audience of more than 2,000 people fell silent. Everyone was still immersed in the melody and couldn't extricate themselves.
Suddenly, a wounded soldier of the Qing army under the Han banner stood up and shouted loudly: "Sing it again!"
"Yes! Sing it again, this song is really nice."
Faced with a flood of requests, Wu Siyu in the background looked at Zhao Xin and pressed the replay button; Zhao Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly, this is not a public trial, let's change it to a concert.
In fact, when the music was playing just now, Zhao Xin was stunned. Especially after he had just experienced a battle with the invaders, this song also meant a lot to him.
A big river, Heilongjiang is also a big river...
While the soldiers and civilians in the audience were immersed in the singing, hundreds of invaders who were brought out from the old city of Aihui and imprisoned in the fence behind the platform seemed to understand what was going to happen today; their faces were filled with despair.
Kneel on the ground, praying to God or the Virgin for forgiveness.
After the song has been played twice, the public review meeting will begin, otherwise the concert will really have to be changed.
As the bosses of the Beihai Navy, Zhao Xin and Wu Siyu were the first to take the stage. Neither of them said anything impassioned, but stood directly behind a table on the left.
Although there was no introduction, the soldiers of the Northern Navy present were all saluting to the rostrum. Everyone in the audience knew that this was a senior official of the Northern Navy, so everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed as before.
Li Yansheng, the leader of the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army, was reluctant to kowtow to the rebels. When everyone was kneeling, he leaned over and looked up. He saw a guy who looked like a young man holding a piece of stone similar to a spiritual tablet.
The sign walked up to the stage, placed the wooden sign on the table in the middle, and then stood aside; then someone held a bouquet of wild flowers and placed it in front of the sign. Immediately afterwards, the exiled prisoner Li who was a classroom in the official school
Bi also stood on the right side of the stage.
Li Yansheng was a little confused: "What are they going to do?"
In the midst of doubt, I heard a man's voice on the stage say: "Everyone, please get up and sit down."
As soon as this voice came out, everyone was startled again. They thought, why are these rebels so loud?
After everyone sat down cautiously, Guo Dalu appeared. This young cadre from the administrative school in Deli became the protagonist today. Three years ago, Guo Dalu would never have imagined that he, who was being
The rural children whose human teeth were sold to northern Jiangsu will have their fate today.
Guo Dalu stood at the bottom of the incense table in the middle. He glanced at the whole place nervously, then raised the two pages of paper in his hand and read aloud: "We are in June of this year, I am in Wushen at the age of 3, and I have three thousand men in the Northern Navy."
, led the army and civilians of Heilongjiang City to offer sacrifices in front of the souls of the dead of all ethnic groups from a distance. Although there was no delicacy, there was still hot blood. Flowers and elegant gifts were prepared to worship the heroes..."
"What he was reciting was actually a memorial text!" Li Yansheng felt as if his head was going to explode. He was in a daze for a while, only to hear the voice of Guo Dalu on the stage reaching his ears again.
"What a pain! The vastness of China, the nine states, accommodates all things in the world, and everyone is governed by principles. However, time has changed, things have changed, stars have moved, the oceans are vast, whales and sharks are raging, and mountains are high, tigers and wolves are coveting them. The fishermen's songs are loud and clear, and they are wiped out. I mourn for my mother's cry.
, tears are stained with blood, husband and wife are suddenly separated, and they die together in the city. Women and children are indistinguishable, and there is no distinction between old and young. Fortunately, there is Beihai, the sun and the moon shine together, brothers join hands, and they are eager to see each other sincerely... Today, a public sacrifice is held to
The name of the country, the public trial of Rakshasa, is to comfort the souls of the dead. Let's continue the past, and wait for the next generation. Woohoo, Fuwei is still enjoying it."
When Li Yansheng heard half of it, there were already tears in his eye sockets, and he knelt on the ground. Among the wounded Qing soldiers present, only Li Yansheng had gone to official school and studied, and the others were covered in clouds and fog. When they saw the leader, he suddenly knelt down on the ground.
Tears were streaming down his face, and he didn't understand what was going on. The wounded soldier in a bandage tried to help him, but was pushed away by Li Yansheng.
When Guo Dalu finished reading, Li Bi walked up, also holding a few pages of paper, and then started reading in Manchu. Compared with Zhao Xin's semi-intelligible text, Li Bi's Manchu translation was straightforward and straightforward.
Much whiter.
Now everyone present understood that the Beihai Navy was paying tribute to all the victims since the Rakshasa invasion. So all the soldiers and civilians in the audience knelt down and kowtowed to the spiritual tablet on the incense table in the center of the stage.
And when Li Bi read to the end, the audience was already crying.
After reciting the memorial text, Zhao Xin walked to the incense table in the center of the stage, held three incense sticks, and bowed three times. As a result, more than 2,000 people present kowtowed to Zhao Xin whether they wanted to or not.
grateful.
After the heavy atmosphere passed, the subsequent accusation meeting began.
The first person to take the stage was Zamusu. The old fisherman told everyone about Jingqinbao, the fall of the five cities of Ravkai, the resistance of Guigudar City and the persistence of Humar City with his own personal experience.
After that, several Daur people came up and told everyone how the Rakshasa had burned, killed and looted all the way south. Everyone present was filled with indignation.
As a representative of the Northern Navy, Ukanbe also took the stage and talked about his life experience, how his wife and children died tragically, how his home was destroyed, and how he could get revenge after joining the Northern Navy. His story made many women in the audience cry.
Wow.
Li Yansheng suddenly stood up from the crowd and walked to the front under everyone's gaze. Zhao Xin waved his hands to signal a few soldiers not to stop him. He saw this strong Qing army general kneeling under the stage, with red eyes and cupped his hands and said: "Sir,
I just want to chop off the heads of a few Rakshasa with my own hands to avenge my brothers who died in the battle."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, the little Oolong with the "roe deer head" also ran to the stage, knelt down and begged Zhao Xin: "I also want to kill Rakshasa, give me Ama
revenge."
The child was sent back to the city by Zhao Xin on the day Bei Haijun entered the city. After several inquiries, he finally found his mother and seriously injured father at the Dafo Temple. At this time, Wulong also learned about Bei Haijun and the court.
It was a hostile relationship, but the little guy still decided to abide by his oath and become a personal soldier for Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin did not dare to agree, and the child's parents were both there. When Wu Xianning arrived at the Great Buddha Temple, he was the first to have an operation.
It’s Oolong Taama.
It is said that Zhao Xin has been interrogating Rakshasa prisoners these days, asking questions from morning to night until his voice became hoarse. What surprised him most was that he saw the groom Igor who had been captured by him among the prisoners of the First Musket Regiment.
.
As for Igor, he couldn't recognize the person, but Zhao Xin's voice was something he couldn't forget even to death. When he heard Zhao Xin's voice, he almost peed his pants in fear. Facing this was like a Cossack.
A wizard-like figure in legend, Igor didn't dare to take any chances, so he told everything he saw and heard like he was pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
With Igor's assistance, Zhao Xin's subsequent interrogation went very smoothly, and the prisoners of the 1st Transbaikal Infantry Regiment became the most unlucky group today. From Colonel Bogaev
From Ski to Captain Petrovich, 200 prisoners from the entire 1st regiment were selected, and then 150 prisoners from the 1st and 2nd Buryat infantry regiments were selected.
When these people were escorted by the Northern Navy and walked past the stage, some of the people in Heilongjiang City couldn't help but cursed, and some picked up stones on the ground and threw them at them. Several soldiers of the Northern Navy who were escorting the prisoners were also hit.
Got a black eye.
On the river bank of Heilongjiang, Li Yansheng, the leader of the Han Army Flag Association, who was brought over by a soldier from the Northern Navy, took the Type 84 revolver loaded with one bullet and, according to the soldier, pointed the muzzle at the back of the head of a Rakshasa officer.
"Hold the handle of the gun tightly, the recoil of this gun is very strong."
Li Yansheng said in embarrassment: "Sir, I have never used a handgun. Why don't you bring me a big knife? I'll make sure it's lifted and dropped!"
The soldier from the Northern Navy who accompanied him rolled his eyes and said, "We don't have a sword here. If you can't do it, go back."
"No, don't get involved!" Li Yansheng defended hurriedly, and then pointed the muzzle of the gun at the Rakshasa officer in front of him who was crying with snot and tears: "Bitch thief, you are the one who can die at the hands of me, Li Guanglie, today."
Good luck!" After saying that, he pulled the trigger hard.
In the old city of Aihui, when I heard the roar of "muskets" from time to time on the river bank, both officers and soldiers were trembling. Many people were wailing, worried that they would not see the sun tomorrow.
According to Zhao Xin's plan, after Liu Sheng and others arrive, all the remaining Russian prisoners of war will be transported to Soulengji Island to dig for gold and atone for their sins!
In the small courtyard where Oolong was hiding, Major General Alexandrov and several noble officers who were imprisoned here looked indignant at the moment. Every gunshot outside would make several officers tremble.
one time.
With a "pop" sound, Alexandrov slammed the table, stood up and paced back and forth uneasily in the room, and suddenly shouted angrily: "These lunatics! They are all devils! How can they kill nobles! Let's
That damned highness, go to hell! God, God will punish them!"
