Chapter 421 The masters who first arrived at Whale Harbor
In the early morning, at the beginning of the morning, residents living on both sides of Barhumen Street in the north of Jilin City were awakened by the rapid sound of horse hooves. Some residents put on their clothes and walked to the yard. They looked out through the crack in the door and saw the bright uniforms of the brigade.
The Qing army was passing quickly from the door.
"What's going on?" the old man muttered as he stood inside the courtyard gate. Just as he was feeling strange, he saw a red-edged and diagonally-pinned gold cloud python flag swaying through the crack in the door.
"Isn't this the flag of Marshal Qing? Why are you going there so early in the morning?"
This old man was also an armored man in his early years. It was not until he was in his fifties that his physical strength could no longer keep up, so his younger son took over the job. Now his younger son has gone to Xiaobai Mountain to suppress the rebellion, and he doesn't know how the battle is going.
Shortly after Qinggui's troops left Jilin City, Jilin General Sa Bing'a, who was stationed at the Lafa River defense line, received an emergency military order. When he saw the messenger showing his token, he confirmed that the letter with chicken feathers on the cover was
It was sent by the Grand Bachelor of Economics.
This Sa Bing'a comes from Mongolia in the Xianghuang Banner, and is a member of the Borjijit Golden Family. Because of his noble bloodline and his blood relationship with the famous Empress Xiaozhuangwen of the Kangxi Dynasty, he has always been highly regarded. He was previously from Hangzhou
General, who had gone through many battles such as Jinchuan and Jinchuan. After Mingliang's defeat, he was transferred by Qianlong to take over as General of Jilin.
Sa Bing'a opened the letter and read it. In the letter, Qinggui ordered him to select 1,500 strong and powerful men in the army and select a general to lead them. Each man must be equipped with three long and short muskets, strange cannons, flying thunder, bows and arrows.
Short axes and other items, and prepare enough dry food and drinking water. People will be sent out later with command flags and tokens to follow their orders...
"This..." Sa Bing'a was stunned for a moment after reading the letter. Next to him, Guole, the chief of the Zhengbai Banner Guard Army, said with a smile: "Military Gate, what happened?"
"The commander is coming."
"Oh? His old man is here to supervise the battle?"
Sa Bing'a shook his head slightly, thinking that this Jun order was too strange. However, the letter was clearly stamped with the seal of the Grand Master of Economics. How could he dare to neglect it, so he quickly ordered his men to make arrangements.
On the way to the Qing army camp in Lafa River, in order to leave time for preparations ahead, Qinggui on horseback specially talked with Zhunise for a while. It was through this conversation that he learned about this
A large part of the Beihai Town information that I learned in the past two years was collected through the people lurking in Beihai Town at Sticking Branch, and was later forwarded by the Lan Ling guards at the Imperial Envoy's headquarters.
Zhu Nise told Qing Gui that there were also manpower at the stick-stick department not only in Fuldan City, but also in Beihai Town. However, because the lurking time was still short, they could not enter the core of Beihai Town for a while.
Qinggui listened for a long time, and one of the places Zhunise mentioned caught his attention, and that was the large workshop in Beihai Town on the east bank of the Xila River.
According to Zhunise, people who go to the east coast all have a red identity card, and it seems that the card alone is not used, and there are other means to verify the identity. Some people have tried to break through before, but were arrested.
There has been no news since the "Black Guards" in Beihai Town captured him.
"Black Guard?"
"Oh, Beihai Town officially calls these people security police, but those ignorant thieves privately call them black guards."
Qinggui nodded. He had known about the security police in Beihai Town for a long time, but according to the tip report, they were just a group of police officers under Zhao Xin.
Seeing that the team had walked twenty miles, Zhu Nise pulled the reins of the horse, jumped off the horse and knelt on one knee in front of Qing Gui's horse and said: "Commander, time is urgent, I will leave first with a few of the guards."
Qinggui twitched his beard and nodded: "In this case, I won't keep you any longer. If this happens, you should be credited with your first merit, and I will definitely recommend it to the emperor."
"Thank you so much, Marshal!" Zhunise saluted, jumped on his horse, and under the protection of more than twenty imperial guards and more than two hundred armored soldiers, he and his two horses galloped towards the Lafa River camp.
At this time, a man behind Qinggui, Gesheha, said: "Commander, do you want to change the sedan chair?"
Qinggui raised his hand and said, "No need. We must arrive at Lafa River Camp around noon."
Looking at the dust from the horse's hooves retreating in front of him, Qinggui couldn't help but remember that Heshen mentioned in the letter sent to him last month that the imperial court had recruited famous boxers from all over the country and was preparing to take a boat through Beihai Town's stronghold in northern Jiangsu.
He went north in disguise to wait for an opportunity to attack Zhao Xin and the people around him.
A wry smile appeared on Qing Gui's face. He really disagreed with this approach. Since ancient times, in the battles between the two armies, assassins have never succeeded, let alone their families. Zhao Xin could have withdrawn because of this.
Surrendering is simply ridiculous.
If those martial arts people could do some damage after going to Beihai Town and explore the secrets on the east bank of the Xila River, Qinggui would be happy to see it happen.
At the right time, Jilin General Sa Bing'a, who was stationed at the Lafa River Camp, finally saw a group of imperial guards holding orders and flags. When he saw that the leader was actually the first-class guard Bo with the title of Jilin Vice-Capital Commander.
Bin immediately understood how important what Qinggui told him was.
After Bobin and others jumped off their horses to greet Sa Bing'a, they raised their hands and said: "Sa Junmen, please forgive me for being rude. The military situation is extremely urgent at the moment. Are the troops, horses and weapons ready?"
An aide in the tent raised his hand and said, "We have all the weapons, men, horses, and food and grass. Master Bo can send someone to check immediately."
Bobin first asked his guards to go out with Zhunise to check, and then asked Sa Bing Aping to withdraw from the crowd of people waiting in the tent, and then whispered to Sa Bing'a.
As a Jilin general, Sa Bing'a was responsible for commanding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Lafa River camp. Qinggui's plan to sneak attack on Laoye Ridge and kill Zhao Xin could not be concealed from him.
Sa Bing'a's eyes widened even more as he listened. He knew that Bobin and his 1,500 elite soldiers would probably go on a dangerous trip. But if they could really capture the Beihai Soldier camp on Laoye Ridge and kill Zhao Xin, even if
If Beihai Town cannot be razed, the offensive launched by the North Navy this time can also be resolved.
At the same time, thousands of miles away at Whale Bay Port, Chai Rugui, Gao Liugeng and Li Wenqing, who had just stepped off Beihai No. 3, were so surprised when they saw the tall steel hangers and mountains of wooden boxes in front of them.
I couldn't speak for a long time.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Now that Beihai Town is short of people, the restrictions on non-family immigrants have been relaxed a lot, so these martial arts people have the opportunity to sneak in.
Not to mention anything else, many of the trackers Xu Dayong transported from central Sichuan were so poor that they didn't even have trousers, let alone a wife. If these people were restricted, it would simply be a push to the White Lotus Sect and the Tulu Society.
.
"I'll give you a fuck!" Li Qingwen raised his head and turned twice. Suddenly he felt a surge in his stomach and rushed straight to his throat. He said "Wow", lowered his head and vomited.
Senior brother Chai Rugui rubbed his back and said, "Third brother, didn't you just say you were fine? You have vomited all the way, why don't you find a doctor to take a look?"
"Puch!" Wu Rong, who was dressed as a village girl and had a floral cloth bag hanging on her shoulders, suddenly couldn't hold it in anymore and covered her mouth and burst into laughter.
Wu Zhong, dressed as an old farmer and carrying a big bag on his back, frowned and scolded: "No rules!"
Li Qingwen, who had just vomited a few times, tilted his head and glanced at Wu Rong, who was tall and slender with a big black braid. He had a grimace on his face and gasped: "I, I don't know how to wet...
...YUE~...even I have never built such a big ship...YUE~~!"
At this time, Gao Liugeng, who was tiptoeing around and looking around, turned around and said to Li Qingwen: "I'm talking about third brother, please stop talking."
It is said that if the martial arts people in Henan saw this, they would definitely be shocked. Li Qingwen, who once stepped down five steps of bluestone with one foot and could knock down dozens of people with his bare hands without hurting himself, actually became seasick!
Suddenly, Wu Rong, who turned her back to everyone, suddenly jumped up, pointed in the distance and shouted: "Dad! Look, how big is that boat over there?! It's as big as a mountain!"
Including Li Qingwen, who had just finished vomiting, everyone else raised their heads and looked in the direction of Wu Rong's finger, and suddenly took a breath. Wu Zhong, who originally wanted to scold his daughter, also had his eyes straightened and fell into confusion.
sluggish.
On a pier opposite Whale Bay, a huge blue and white boat was docked there. If they hadn't seen the figures coming and going on the boat, everyone would have thought they were dreaming.
When they entered the harbor by boat before, they didn't pay attention to the east side of Whale Bay. They were all attracted by the things on the harbor.
The three brothers Chai Rugui looked at the Thunderbolt in the distance like a hill in astonishment. The oldest one's jaw was hanging open, and his eyes were about to fall off the ground. They thought to themselves that this thing can also be called a boat? It is simply the palace of the Dragon King!
At this time, the early morning sunlight passed over the fort on the peninsula east of Whale Bay and shone right on the tall white poop of the Thunder. From the fifth floor to the third floor, all the glass windows facing south were reflecting the dazzling sunlight.
It looked crystal clear, making the immigrants on the pier feel as if they were in the human world.
After a while, Wu Zhong suddenly woke up and reprimanded his daughter with a serious face: "How unbecoming is it for a big girl to yell and scream! If you say you are like this, no man will dare to marry you in the future."
Wu Zhong is fifty-seven years old this year. In ancient times, this age was half as old as a child. He was an upright and kind-hearted man. He only had an old wife. He had a daughter like Wu Rong when he was nearly forty. Later, his old wife died of illness.
, Wu Zhong regarded his daughter as a treasure and passed on all his martial arts skills to her.
After hearing this, seventeen-year-old Wu Rong grabbed her father's sleeve and said, "I don't want to get married. I want to spend my whole life with my father and grandma."
Wu Zhong was greatly comforted after hearing this, but after thinking about it, he still sighed. There was no chance for a daughter to be admitted to college, but Wu Rong was obsessed with martial arts, and he himself was reluctant to let his daughter get married, so he wanted to recruit a wife.
The problem is that there are very few people who dare to be a son-in-law these days. Not only will they be ridiculed, but they will also have to change their names. The most serious thing is that they will not even be included in the family tree. If it goes against the rules and does not fulfill filial piety, even
They will also be kicked out of the house.
Wu Zhong's family was located in Qingyun County, Shandong in later generations, but during the Qianlong period, it was under the jurisdiction of Tianjin Prefecture. He had asked many families before, but no one was willing to be his son-in-law. This made Wu Zhong very worried.
She has become an old girl!
Li Qingwen, who was wiping his face with a towel at the side, hesitated for a moment after hearing what the father and daughter said, and did not dare to say anything.
He was afraid that he would be beaten to death by his mother when he went back...
At this time, several people heard movement behind them, so they turned around and saw seven or eight people, both men and women, walking dozens of steps away. What surprised them was that these people all wore white cloth masks on their faces and arms.
There is also a red cloth belt tied on it, I don't know what it is for.
"Everyone, I have vomited what I should have. Are you feeling better?"
Ouch! I saw the young man who was speaking holding up a gray trumpet-like thing. When he spoke, the loud sound made several big boxers startled. They thought that this young man was too confident. Could it be that he was too?
A master?
"Attention! Let me introduce myself. I am from the Immigration Office of Beihai Town. My surname is Li, and my name is only one Chinese character. You can just call me Li Han."
All the new immigrants had timid expressions. They watched Li Han spitting and talking about precautions and arrangements later, but they didn't dare to say anything. Only the one standing at the back
Wu Rong stood on tiptoe to watch. Wu Zhong quickly pulled her daughter's sleeves, and she calmed down.
"What is the Immigration Office? It is responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the young and old men who are new to our Beihai Town. Our Beihai Town has a large territory and many rules. We must teach everyone clearly."
At this time, someone among the immigrants asked: "Sir, when will I get fifty acres of land?"
"When will you pay the one hundred pence you mentioned before boarding the ship?"
"Do you have lunch for lunch? I was told on the way here that we have three meals a day."
Gao Liugeng, who was standing in the back row, also joined in the fun and shouted: "Master, where are we staying tonight?"
"Stop, stop, stop, stop! Wait a minute! Just listen to me first!" After Li Han shouted, seeing that the scene was still noisy, he stretched out his hand and turned the knob on the back of the speaker, only to hear a "sizzling" sound.
The immigrants present were so frightened that they all covered their ears.
Seeing the panic of hundreds of people in front of him, Li Han smiled. He had long been used to it. It was like this almost every time new immigrants landed.
After waiting for a while, Li Han continued: "Now you have received your number plate. If you lose it, you will have no food and no place to live!"
When the people who followed Li Han handed out the wooden number plates to everyone, Li Han said again: "Now pay attention! Those who take the odd number plate stand in front of the two people on my left; those who take the even number plate
For cards, stand in front of the two people on my right."
Wu Zhong and others looked at the numbers on the license plates in their hands. They all had odd and even numbers, but Wu Zhong and Wu Rong had odd and even numbers respectively. Wu Zhong wanted to change with someone, but before he could say anything, he saw
Li Qingwen said: "Old man, I have an even number. I'll change it with you."
When the more than 500 people present were divided into two groups according to odd and even numbers, Li Han raised his loudspeaker and said: "Now pay attention! For those with odd numbers, women follow the elder sister with the armband, and men follow the brother. Where is the even number?
Same thing."
As soon as these words came out, the families in the crowd suddenly panicked and started arguing one after another. Wu Zhong and others standing behind looked on with cold eyes.
"What are you doing? Why do you want to separate my family?"
"I don't want to be separated from my man."
"father!"
"Damn it, baby!"
Seeing the crowd in front of him starting to make noise again, Li Han shook his head helplessly and shouted into the loudspeaker: "Shut up, everyone! Listen to me! Or you won't have anything to eat at noon!"
This was more effective than anything else, and the noisy crowd immediately fell silent.
"When I separate you, I will take you to take a bath, change clothes, and let the doctor check your body! Look down and see that you are all gray and dusty. Isn't it a good thing to clean up? Besides, your wife and children's health, you
What do you want other men to see?!"
After hearing this, all the new immigrants were worried that their worries were gone. They heard Li Han continue: "No one wants to separate you! It will only take half a day, two hours at most, and we will meet you for lunch at noon. Eat."
After dinner, I have to help you arrange accommodation, do you understand?"
"Got it!"
"middle!"
"Yes!"
"Master, can I ask what you want to eat for lunch?"
Li Han glared at the man who was asking the question, laughed and cursed: "You are a bitch, you can't get enough of me."
Boom~~ A group of new immigrants who were originally farmers suddenly became silly and happy. Chai Rugui in the crowd turned to Gao Liugeng and said: "This is the first time I have seen such yamen and officials."
Gao Liugeng said disapprovingly: "I don't see anything different."
Ten minutes later, more than 500 people were divided into four teams according to odd and even number plates and men and women. Under the leadership of the Beihai Town Immigration Office, they walked through the goods yard and arrived in front of a three-story building. These new immigrants were dumbfounded again.
.
Seeing that every window could clearly see the inside of the building from the outside, Gao Liugeng took a breath and thought that expensive crystal glass could be seen everywhere here. These rebels were too extravagant!
