Chapter 373: The remnants of the Heaven and Earth Society
On the morning of September 20, 1788, the immigrant fleet that set off from the Xingkai Lake Pier had arrived at Khabarovsk Town. Construction was going on everywhere, and the explosion-proof wall frames shipped from the Beihai Town Steel Factory were stacked up to the height of the mountain.
Obviously, this will be the fourth town built in Beihai Town after Fuldan City and Whale Town.
Since the Yuan Dynasty, Khabarovsk has been known as the "Medicine Begging Station". At that time, it was the 23rd station of the Marshal's Mansion on the Nuergan Eastern Expedition from Liaoning to the Heilongjiang Estuary. As a hub guarding five land and water transportation routes,
Khabarovsk's strategic position in the entire outer northeast is very important.
In 1616, which was the first year of destiny, Nurhachi sent two generals, Darhan and Shuo Wengkeluo, to lead an expedition of 2,000 troops to the Saha Company in the East China Sea, capture eleven villages, and recruit forty chiefs of the Dog Tribe, including Bo.
force.
In another time and space, just after the signing of the Treaty of Aihun, Tsarist Russia occupied this place and used it as a frontline military fortress to invade Northeast China, thereby devouring more than one million square kilometers of land in the outer Northeast.
As a village affiliated to the Deputy Dutong Yamen of the Three Surnames, when Zhao Xin led his troops to Boli Village a few months ago, there were more than thirty Hezhe families here.
In fact, Zhao Xin and the others also passed through Boli when they went to Trinshiji before, and they had an acquaintance with the leader of the local Hezhe people, and they gave him gifts of food, cloth, iron needles and thread. At the beginning of this year, Liu Sheng married Ushiha.
At that time, the leader of Boli Village also went to Balke Village for a wedding banquet.
Zhao Xin spent three thousand kilograms of grain, a hundred iron pots, a hundred boxes of matches and other bits and pieces to buy a piece of land along the river from the Hezhetou people in Boli Village. It was a fair deal and both parties were satisfied.
.The newly built Khabarovsk town covers an area of about 300 acres, which is almost the size of 28 football fields.
"Everyone has disembarked. We will stop here for an hour and then leave. Be careful not to urinate anywhere!" On the deck of the flat-bottomed sailboat, a squad leader of the North Navy said loudly. "The scope of your activities can only be within the town.
There are wild beasts in the area and in the woods outside the town, so be careful!"
Zhang Tinghe, from Quanzhou, Fujian Province, took his wife and children off the boat with the crowd. The family of five timidly looked at the people coming and going around them, feeling at a loss.
"What's wrong?" The person who spoke was a security policeman who was accompanying the ship. When he saw Zhang Tinghe standing on the dock, he came over and asked.
Zhang Tinghe and his family were frightened to death when they saw these black clothes. They bowed tremblingly and said, "Master, what are we going to do when we get off the boat?"
The security policeman smiled slightly, pointed to a sign on the pier and said, "It says it all on it. It's convenient to eat. Just follow the arrows."
Zhang Tinghe quickly raised his hands and said, "Oh, thank you very much, sir."
After that, he took his wife and children and walked towards the sign. The security police behind him kept staring at him, which made Zhang Tinghe feel like thorns in his back.
There was no way, who could have let him be a member of the Heaven and Earth Society? Besides, if there was no way to survive, Zhang Tinghe would not have brought his whole family and Yan Yan by boat to this bitterly cold place in the far north.
Since Yan Yan and Liao Dong came to Beihai Town last year in an unsuccessful attempt to unite, they didn't leave by boat until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month this year. But when they returned, they spent nearly two months repairing the boat in Ryukyu due to wind and waves, and they missed it by luck.
By the time they arrived in Tamsui, Taiwan, it was already March, and Lin Shuangwen had already been captured by the Qing army in Laoquqi (the area around Zhunan Town, Miaoli, Taiwan).
People like Yan Yan and Liao Dong had become lost dogs at this time. After the Manchu Qing Dynasty learned about the inside story of the Tiandihui in January this year, Qianlong attached great importance to it. All over Fujian and Guangdong were strictly investigating and apprehending members of the Tiandihui. After discussing it, the two felt that now
There is only one way to go to Beihai Town.
So they first brought out more than a hundred remnants of the Tenchikai and their family members who were closest to them from Taiwan and Fujian, and then went all the way north to Ryukyu, and when they landed in southern Kyushu to seek supplies, they were almost killed by the Sendai clan's samurai.
By the time Ida Murucho, who was responsible for guarding Minami Kyushu, ordered the release of the people, Yan Yan and the others had already been in prison for several months.
Most of the people brought out by Yan Yan had joined the Tiandihui before the Lin Shuangwen Rebellion. These people originally preached in Taiwan to make money, but when the war broke out, many of them fled back to Fujian.
In many later generations' information, Lin Shuangwen's uprising is often called "Lin Shuangwen's Tiandihui Uprising" or "Lin Shuangwen's Uprising led by Tiandihui". This statement is actually very inaccurate. The reason is that there is no connection between Tiandihui and Lin Shuangwen's uprising.
There is no direct causal relationship.
In the early Manchu Qing Dynasty, Taiwan was an immigrant society with a large number of tourists and sharp social conflicts. This was a hotbed for the emergence of party groups and violence. Lin Shuangwen's uprising was a product of the violent development of Taiwanese society at that time and the result of the fission of the traditional Baibajiehui. The Tiandi Hui
He only played an unconscious role in it, and the failure of Lin Shuangwen's uprising was the opportunity for the world to spread and evolve.
Historically, it was only after Lin Shuangwen was overthrown and Tiandihui was hunted down on a large scale by the Qing court that the founding purpose of Tiandihui began to change. That is, it changed from "mutual assistance and robbery" which implied "the emperor of the Ming Dynasty passed down the clan" to later "
Fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty."
So assuming that a time traveler reaches the early and mid-Qianlong period, if he really encounters the Tiandi Hui in Fujian and Guangdong, he will probably be robbed without even his underpants. If he is self-righteous and tells the other party "Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother"
, oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, etc. Maybe this group of robbers and road tyrants can catch you and send you to the official to collect the reward.
Beihai Town paid enough attention to the re-arrival of Yan Yan and his gang. As soon as they got off the boat, they were taken away by the security police and detained separately for questioning. After confirming their participation in Lin Shuangwen's rebellion, they began to disperse them.
, based on family units, sent to Heilongjiang City, Ezo Land and Kuye Island.
As for Yan Yan and Liao Dong, as the leaders who were deeply involved in Lin Shuangwen's rebellion, they were both assigned to the coal mines in Ezo.
It is said that in ancient societies that depended on agriculture for a living, settling down for generations was the norm, and migration was the abnormality. Those who could become vagrants lived on the margins of society, without food and clothing, homeless, bullied, and uncertain about their life or death.
A true portrayal.
However, poor people must be hateful. In order to survive, help each other, and prevent bullying and robbery, these people gathered together by forming socialist parties. Whether it was the Water Margin or the Three Kingdoms, it became the basis of their beliefs. Because there are many elements in it
Once the gangsters become more mature, the mutual aid and self-defense within the group will soon evolve into various anti-social behaviors such as fighting, robbery, theft and even rebellion.
What Beihai Town needs is people who can work hard on the land and serve as soldiers honestly. This is the only way to deal with this group of socially unstable elements.
Zhang Tinghe was a small business owner selling groceries in Quanzhou. He was timid and lived a decent life, so he never participated in the fighting and road fighting business. This guy originally joined the Tiandihui purely to make money.
For a thousand pence, apart from handing it over to Yan Yan, he would also be left behind a lot. After Lin Shuangwen killed officials and rebelled, Zhang Tinghe was so frightened that he even gave up the money he had collected and returned to Quanzhou the same day.
After arriving in Beihai Town, after repeated questioning by the security police, Zhang Tinghe confessed everything he could and could not say, so now when he saw the black uniform of the security police, he was so frightened that his calves twisted.
When Zhang Tinghe and his family arrived at the open-air canteen prepared for immigrants, they saw that everyone was served pasta again. Zhang Tinghe's wife was a little unhappy and complained: "Why is it so difficult to eat rice?
If I had known earlier, I would not have come to this place outside the Pass."
Zhang Tinghe hurriedly covered his wife's mouth with his hand and scolded in a low voice: "Oh, please keep your voice down, it will be bad if those officials in black hear her."
"It's all your fault for having to join the Heaven and Earth Society in the first place! Look, how will you live your life in the future?!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Tinghe was also angry, pointing to the earrings on the woman's ears and the jade bracelet on her wrist and said: "This, and this, which one was not bought with the original money? Who was it in the first place?
Those who count eagles and oceans smile happily every day, why didn’t you say this now? Don’t ask for it if you have the ability.”
"Why shouldn't I? I gave birth to two babies for your Zhang family, and these are mine! Don't talk about it, Yingyang is also mine."
"You stupid woman, if the eagles and flowers don't come out here, why don't you save your money?"
"I'm happy with it. This is the money I will save for my boss's wedding in the future. From now on, I will count it in the morning and again in the evening. If there is one less Yingyang, it's up to you."
"You're seeking death! Keep your voice down, and people will hear you." Zhang Tinghe shook his head angrily, and continued: "I really admire you. It's like this barren mountain, and I can't even use it."
"
The couple chatted in Minnan dialect, which others could not understand, but Zhang Tinghe's eldest son was not happy.
"Lao Bei Lao Mu, have you had enough arguing? My little brothers and sisters are all hungry."
Zhang Ting and his wife turned their heads and cursed in unison: "You bastard! You are neither big nor small."
"When we stopped the ship just now, the officials said it would only be one hour. If you keep saying that, we won't even have time to eat."
"..."
The family ate in a hurry, then followed the arrow directions to find a water fetching place and filled the kettles with water. Then they returned to the dock and boarded the boat. When the time came, with the bell ringing on the boat, the immigration boat
The team slowly left the temporary dock in Khabarovsk, turned into Heilongjiang, and headed northwest.
...
"Sir, may I ask when your King Zhao will come back?" Outside the Northern Navy Military Station on the north bank of the Mongolian River, a Qing military attache coming from the other side of the river asked helplessly.
The captain of the Beihai Navy company opposite said calmly: "Go back and wait. I will tell you when I get back."
The military attaché hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Master Liu, we have known each other for two years, right? I have always treated you with great respect and never offended you. Please, I can't do business this time."
Company commander surnamed Liu said: "Sir, it's not that I'm making things difficult for you, I really don't know."
The Qing military attaché had no choice but to hold his fist and take a boat back to the other side to report.
It is said that Liu Yong, who was entrusted by Qianlong, wanted to start negotiations with Beihai Town as soon as possible since he arrived in Wula, Jilin.
Since August, Qianlong has been so anxious that he can't sleep well every day. Every two days, he sends Pegasus messengers to Liu Yong to inquire about the progress. What he fears most now is the sudden southward movement of the Northern Navy. The two sides have fought so many times.
, both Qianlong and the people at the Military Aircraft Department understood clearly that the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jilin and Shengjing alone could not stop him. The problem is that it is too late to mobilize troops now, and Zhao Xin must be found out through negotiations.
intentions in order to formulate response strategies.
Liu Yong originally wanted to sacrifice the Manchu son-in-law, Huo Jihun Saimal, to negotiate with Beihai Town, but now that Ninggu Pagoda was lost, Boli and Sanxing City were also lost, and he wanted to summon Huo Jihun to come to Jilin.
Wula Mian gave me the opportunity, but the mountains were high and the rivers were long, and I couldn't handle it.
He and Qinggui spent a long time among the crowd, and finally found that they could only choose Qitai.
When it comes to who is the most familiar with Zhao Xin in the court, Na Qitai would say second, and no one dares to say first. Na Ye thinks that he has no big conflict with Beihai Town. When Liu Sheng attacked Ning Guta, he
But he ran away before a shot was fired. However, it was precisely because of this that Qianlong was furious afterwards. He ordered Na Qitai to stay in Jilin City to think about his mistakes behind closed doors, and to accept his guilt.
Now that there is a chance to make a difference, Qitai will naturally rush to take advantage of it.
In mid-July, he set out from Ula, Jilin, and arrived at Hunchun Camp in twenty days. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he arrived at the barracks on the south bank of the Mongolian River and negotiated with the North Korean Navy stationed on the other side, only to find out that Zhao Xin had not returned yet.
.
In order to understand the situation, Naqitai sent his men disguised as border residents to Fuldan City to contact their own spies. Only then did they know that Zhao Xin had led troops to fight Yaksa. When he sent someone to report to Jilin Wula quickly,
Finally, Liu Yong told him to wait and tell him as soon as Zhao Xin came back.
Various characters appeared in Beihai Town and made a fuss. Zhao Xin only got a general idea from the telegram. How to deal with many things in detail had to wait until he returned.
On September 23, 1788, after Zhao Xin had endured ten days of unrest in Verkhnokhnudinsk, Liu Sheng arrived with men from the 2nd Battalion of the 6th Regiment of the Northern Navy.
Different from the last time, this time the Northern Navy's convoy drove directly outside the military camp in Verkhnokhnudinsk. The entire Verkhnokhnudinsk was in a sensation, and all the residents came out to watch. If Zhao Xin hadn't sent troops to maintain order, nothing would have happened.
Well, you have to crush a few to death.
The deafening roar of the motor scared the priests who came out to watch the excitement to the point of peeing. Looking at the tall blue car body, both priests and local residents kept crossing themselves on their chests and muttering "The devil is coming."
” and the like.
After all ten DT-10PA-1 vehicles passed, the already muddy road turned into a big mud pond.
Zhao Xin looked at the disgraced Liu Sheng and Fan Tong and asked, "Why did it take so long?"
Liu Sheng said: "Forget it, one car almost crashed and it started to drive after a whole day of tinkering. If I hadn't followed along, the agricultural machinery unit wouldn't have been able to do anything with it."
On September 25, after another day of rest, the Northern Navy stationed in Verkhnokhnudinsk set off again.
Zhao Xin led a battalion along the Selenga River to Lake Baikal to attack Irkutsk. Liu Sheng and Fan Tong led another battalion and headed south by boat, heading straight for Kyakhta.
