Pan Xiucheng scolded him and got angry. Then he told Monk Zhou that the military department had called and asked him to report before nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Monk Zhou was confused after the training and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Good thing!"
At around 8 a.m. the next day, several sturdy Don horses carried Monk Zhou and the guards, whose faces were oily and sweaty, into the military compound outside Baiber City. A young staff officer had already been waiting here.
He took Monk Zhou to wash his face and tidy up his military appearance. Monk Zhou felt that the bandage on his ear was too ugly, so he took it off, and then followed the staff officer to the door of a room.
The young staff officer knocked twice and the door opened. He then motioned to Monk Zhou to go in. Monk Zhou entered the room and saw that Zhao Xin, Liu Sheng and Fan Tong were all there.
By the way, Fan Tong's current official position is political commissar of the Baikal Military District of the Northern Navy.
"Report, Commander Zhou Heichuang of the Second Battalion of the Third Regiment has been ordered to report for duty!"
"sit down!"
Monk Zhou was a little worried. Pan Xiucheng said there was a good thing, but what good thing was it?
Liu Sheng first chatted with him a few words about the night drill, and then nodded to Fan Tong. Fan Tong looked at Monk Zhou expressionlessly, opened a folder, cleared his throat, stood up and said: "Zhou
Black break-in!"
"arrive!"
"By order of the Northern Navy Command, Zhou Heichuang, commander of the second battalion of the third regiment, is hereby appointed as the acting commander of the 12th regiment of the Northern Navy. April 11, Xuanyuan 4488."
"What?! Captain?" Monk Zhou, who had been struggling all night and for a long time, finally heard the news that surprised and delighted him. His dark face turned red with excitement. He even ignored Fan Tong's last mention of Xuanyuan.
Chronology.
After the train opening ceremony, Wang Zhong and Duan Yucai approached Zhao Xin specifically about this matter. Wang Zhong told Zhao Xin that they had verified the year of the Yellow Emperor's Era, and suggested that Zhao Xin implement it in Beihai Town as soon as possible to clarify Zhengshuo.
.
Beihai Town had been using the Western calendar before, but when Wang Zhong found out that the so-called Western calendar was the "Christian Era" of Westerners, he denounced it as absurd. Wang Zhong believed that although Zhao Xin did not want to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, Beihai Town still had to have its own
Wang Zhong admired the pre-Qin rules and regulations. He believed that since Beihai’s currency used the portrait of Emperor Xuanyuan, it would be better to use the “Huangdi Calendar”. This idea was also supported by Duan Yucai, Hong Liangji and others.
of approval.
After careful research and textual research on "Emperor Century", "Zhou Bi Suan Jing", "Huang Ji Jing Shi", "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" and other books, coupled with the help of Wang Zhenyi, an arithmetician who is proficient in astronomical calendars, Wang Zhenyi
It took more than a year for the central organization to finally determine the "Year of Guihai" when the Yellow Emperor ascended the throne as the first year of the Yellow Emperor.
Because the fifty-sixth year of Qianlong, that is, 1791, was the year of Xinhai, ranking 48th among the stems and branches. According to historical records, counting the above 74 stems and branches, we will get the first year of the stem and branch calendar, which is when the Yellow Emperor ascended the throne and established the stem and branch calendar.
, that is, 2697 BC.
In fact, Zhao Xin increasingly feels that if China wants to embark on the process of industrialization after overthrowing the Qing Dynasty, it must also invigorate the national spirit; and the traditional culture represented by the respect for the Yellow Emperor is also a kind of national spirit. In Lai Baibai
Before the meeting in Ercheng, Zhao Xin signed an order for the use of the new calendar, stipulating that the Xuanyuan Calendar will be changed from the first day of the fourth lunar month this year, which is May 1 of the Gregorian calendar. Compared with the private sector, the internal movements of the Beihai Navy are faster.
, they almost all replaced them the day after Zhao Xin signed the order.
For the people under the rule of Beihai Town, the familiar zodiac signs and the lunar calendar have actually remained unchanged, but the Christian era will no longer be seen on notices.
The sun sets close to the horizon, and colorful clouds pile up on the horizon. The blue sky is like a sheet of blue velvet, trimmed with gold edges.
Zhao Xin, who came out of the military headquarters, was touched by the beautiful scenery at this moment. He stopped the carriage, jumped on a black Don horse, and walked briskly towards the headquarters of the third regiment. He planned to watch another third regiment today.
Night drill, return to Pingshi City tomorrow.
When it was dark, a group of people arrived at the headquarters of the Third Regiment. Zhao Xin did not ask anyone to notify him in advance. He did not want to make a big fanfare every time he left the army. Unexpectedly, before they entered the courtyard of the regiment headquarters, they heard someone in a courtyard diagonally opposite.
As he sang a ditty at the top of his voice, accompanied by the sound of pushing cups and changing cups and making fists, Zhao Xin's face immediately dropped.
"Sister was combing her oily hair in the room. She met a lover and walked out of the window. She hurriedly went to the embroidery building and put her hands on her shoulders. Why did she lose my letter yesterday? She had a shy face and was not shy. She came to beg and beg again~~
~ Holding the gold hairpin in hand, throwing the tooth comb on the table, holding the dark clouds around a lot, leaving for the romantic~~~ hand in hand, holding hands, leaving the romantic, the romantic came back and combed her hair, not caring about the oil on her hands~~~
"
"Okay! Lao Zhou sang this little tune really well! I said, let's give him another toast!"
"Don't let him drink, otherwise the monk will get drunk!"
"Bah! I won't get drunk even if you bastards lie down..."
With a "clang", the door of the house was suddenly kicked open from the outside. Zhao Xin's guard walked to the door and said to everyone in the house: "Everyone! Come out!"
At this time, all the officers in the room were drunk and were very unhappy when they were suddenly interrupted by a stranger. One of the company commanders couldn't help but opened his mouth and cursed: "Asshole! I drink some wine, who do you think you are?
Well......"
Before he finished speaking, a big hand immediately covered his mouth. A figure flashed at the door, and Zhao Xin walked in with a smile. It is said that now the Beihai Navy has Zhao Xin's portrait from the company headquarters to the regiment headquarters.
.For this founder of the North Navy and a mythical figure, although it is not to the extent of "asking for instructions in the morning and reporting later", his face is known to everyone.
Seeing this sudden appearance, everyone hurriedly left the table and stood up, but most of them were so drunk that they could not stand firmly; especially Monk Zhou, who was swaying so much that he actually had a tube stuck in his ear.
A wild flower.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhao Xin found a stool and sat down, looked around, and said with a smile: "Haha, let's introduce ourselves."
"Li Chunsheng, commander of the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the Beihai Navy."
"Shang Xuewu, commander of the second company of the third regiment, second battalion, and second company."
...
"Third regiment, second battalion, second company, first platoon, third squad, Kang Youcai." Kang Youcai saluted and knocked the wild flowers from Monk Zhou's ears.
"Zhou Heichuang, commander of the 12th Regiment."
After hearing this, Zhao Xin nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Masters, please take a seat."
The words were spoken very softly, but in everyone's ears they were no different than Huang Zhongdalu. Two people's legs suddenly went weak, and if there was no wall behind them to block them, they would collapse on the ground.
"Boom!" There was a sound, and the dishes and bowls on the wooden table were shaken. "Look at your appearance!"
Zhao Xin's tone rose, and the irritation in his voice became more obvious: "I want to ask, are you officials from the Manchu Qing Dynasty or are you from the Northern Navy who conquer the world for the poor?"
Everyone stood politely and didn't answer.
"Of course you have to be happy when you become the leader of a regiment. It's okay for you old subordinates to celebrate him. But I didn't expect to be so happy! Look at each of you, how much you drank, and you still look like soldiers.
Oh! Especially you, Monk Zhou! You even sang lewd lyrics and erotic songs. Is there any commander in the Beihai Navy who is like you! Does this still look like a military force? It’s almost like a brothel!”
This afternoon, after Monk Zhou returned to the regiment headquarters to handle the handover, a group of officers from the Second Battalion who had already learned the news decided to have a dinner together to celebrate Monk Zhou's promotion.
Originally, everyone just wanted to have a chat and have a drink each. Unexpectedly, Monk Zhou was in a very high mood, so everyone gradually relaxed and went back to their residences to take out their own stocks. This one wished Gaosheng a drink, and that wish
Da Zhan had another drink, and some wanted to follow Monk Zhou to the 12th Regiment to have a drink with him... Just like that, one cup after another, Monk Zhou accepted all who came. Because the exercise of the Second Battalion had already
At the end of the day, there was nothing much to do in the past two days, so the other officers gradually drank too much. When they were drunk and carried away, Monk Zhou sang a ditty that he had not sung for many years.
At this time, Monk Zhou seemed to have sobered up from his drunken state. His red face turned sallow, and he looked at Zhao Xin with shame.
Zhao Xin's tone calmed down and he squinted his eyes and said: "Since there is nothing to do, I will give you something to do! Within three days, everyone in your second battalion, from the platoon commander to the company commander, must write a summary of the exercise
, find out your own shortcomings, no less than a thousand words, and send it to the regiment headquarters! Send me a copy too! If I find out that any of you dares to find someone to write for you, then congratulations, the prisoner-of-war camp in Usolye is
We’re short of manpower!”
"yes!"
Kang Youcai said sincerely that he was the squad leader, so this matter should not be his fault. Who knew that after Zhao Xin finished speaking, he looked at him and said with a smile: "Squad monitor Kang, right? Could you please also write a 500-word summary?
, just collect the opinions of your soldiers from the perspective of the squad leader and make a summary."
"Ah?!" Kang Youcai suddenly became bitter. Five hundred words could kill him.
After Zhao Xin finished speaking, he stood up and walked out, saying: "Okay, everyone, get out!"
There were stars in the dark night. When Zhao Xin, led by two staff officers of the Third Regiment, arrived at the exercise command post, a full moon hung over the hills in the east.
Two days later, Zhao Xin frowned and read the summaries submitted by Zhou Monk and others one by one, including one from Pan Xiucheng. The boss of the Bei Navy caught the embarrassing incident of his subordinates gathering to drink, and Pan Xiucheng felt that he was to blame.
"Take a look, what these people wrote is all about one word, arrogant!" Zhao Xin handed a stack of paper to Liu Sheng.
In the exercise summaries submitted by the officers, and even in the opinions of the soldiers below collected by Kang Youcai, everyone believed that the results of the exercise were not important; as long as there were artillery support, machine gun firepower, and even armored vehicles during the battle,
No matter who comes, they can't stop the North Navy, and they will destroy whoever they catch.
Some military officers even suggested in their summary that the intensity of daily training, especially the daily five-kilometer run, should be reduced to half. No one in the Qing army or the Russian army trained like this every day.
After leading soldiers for so many years, Zhao Xin knew that the army must be bloody and arrogant, but it must not be arrogant about talents. Since ancient times, there have been too many examples of arrogant soldiers being defeated. He has led this team along the way, and every time
They are all outnumbered and cannot lose every battle, forcing him to follow them every time and become a "logistics captain".
Liu Sheng had already read part of it. He took it and put it on the table. He sighed and said, "The weapons are too advanced, we have never been defeated, and the battle loss ratio is too low. It's not surprising that there is such a general sentiment below."
"We have to pour some cold water on these people, otherwise they will easily suffer big losses." After Zhao Xin finished speaking, he said to Liu Sheng and Fan Tong: "The training cannot be relaxed, and the training must be tightened. In addition, instructors should be sent to the troops above the company as soon as possible.
, the batch of political workers trained by Lao Yu will arrive in another half month, and ideological work must be grasped. Strategically despise, tactically attach importance to it, these words will never be outdated. "
Fan Tong nodded helplessly, saying to himself that I don't want to care about political and ideological work at all, and you, the wealthy Zhao, insist on forcing it on me. Now, it's all my own business.
Zhao Xin added: "I don't go out with the Eastern Front troops this time because I want them to know that in the vast desert of 1.8 million square kilometers, once you are used to using modern weapons and equipment, if the logistics are not good, what you have in your hands will
They all have to be turned into fire sticks, and cannons are worse than scrap metal."
Liu Sheng said: "Don't worry, the North Korean navy will still fight without bullets, and the enemies who have to be killed even with bayonets will flee."
Fan Tong asked Zhao Xin with some confusion: "Are you really not going to follow me this time?"
"I have to guard the Yenisei River. Just wait and see, Tsarist Russia just hastily signed a temporary armistice agreement. They will definitely not be willing to accept it. Even if there is no war now, there will definitely be constant small moves."
As expected, Zhao Xinyan confirmed the matter, and Tsarist Russia has already begun to take action.
On March 15, the fifty-sixth year of Qianlong's reign, that is, April 15, 1791, Prince Cheling Ubash of Heboksali Turghut, located in northern Xinjiang, reported to Techeng, the Counselor of Tarbahatai.
According to the report, in mid-August last year, a lama named Samailin under the Taiji Azanla banner left home for Karen but did not return, and now he suddenly returned.
According to this Samalin's confession, he said that he was captured by the Kazakhs on the border in Karen last year and handed over to the Russians. The Russians took him to Tomsk, detained him for a month, released him, and ordered him to be handed over to the Manchus.
He took the message and asked him to deliver a letter.
The message sent back by Tsarist Russia from Samalin was that the Northern Navy was likely to send troops to Khalkha Mongolia in the near future, reminding the Manchus to respond early.
Talbahatai borders Khalkha Mongolia to the east, Kazakh nomadic lands to the west, and Tsarist Russia to the north. After hearing Samalin's message, Cheling Ubash feared that the Russians were deceitful, and informed his men to guard the Karuns everywhere.
, strengthened the defense, and at the same time detained Samalin to Tal Bahatai along with the letter.
At this time, Yili General Baoning went to Beijing to see his Majesty but did not return. The post of Yili General was taken over by Counselor Yongbao of Tarbahatai, and the leading minister of Urumqi, Te Chengquan, took over as Counselor of Yongbahatai.
After Techeng'e took over the matter, he first interrogated Samalin several times. Since no one in Talbahatai could translate Russian, Techeng'e sent someone to send the Russian letter to General Ili for preparation.
The interrogation will be held after the translation.
As the top military and political officer of Tarbachatai, Techeng immediately took measures to deal with this. First, he strengthened inspections of Karen, and focused on inspections of Karen on the border with Russia, in order to find out the news. Second, he removed the Advisory Council Office.
In addition to General Yili, he also consulted Khovd Counselor Wu Miwusun and Dingbian Left Deputy General Hengrui.
After General Yongbao of Ili received Te Cheng'e's message and learned of the matter, he immediately wrote back saying that no one in Ili could translate Russian and asked him to present the original text to the emperor. At the same time, he believed that Samalin should be sent to the capital quickly. His attitude was extremely
The revenue is much more decisive.
Seven days later, Qianlong, who was in the Old Summer Palace, received an urgent memorial of six hundred miles from Yongbao. Qianlong's first reaction was not to believe it. The main reason was that Beihai Town had just fought with Tsarist Russia in Siberia last year and gained a huge territory. Change
If you think you are the Tsar of Russia, you will definitely not give up.
Moreover, the matter with Tsarist Russia has not yet been resolved. The envoy from Annan urgently asking for help has left Zhennanguan, and Ruan Guangping's memorial has been delivered to Beijing before the envoy. In that memorial, Ruan Guangping told Xishan in a sad tone
How the imperial court was bullied by the Northern Navy and begged the emperor to send troops to help.
Now Tsarist Russia is saying that the Northern Navy is preparing to send troops to Khalkha and Mongolia. If they are so aggressive, how can that "dog thief" Zhao Xin be afraid of dying?!
However, given that Zhao Xin repeatedly acted out of common sense, Qianlong immediately took a series of countermeasures.
The first was to adjust the officials of the Khalkha Mongolia. General Baoning of Ili was transferred to deputy general of Dingbian Zuo to replace the old and sick Hengrui. He took office within five days. Baoning was born in the army and served successively as general of Chengdu and governor of Sichuan.
He took part in the Jinchuan and Jinchuan battles and quelled the rebellion in the northwest. He fought bravely and was considered to have rich combat experience among the Eight Banners generals.
He ordered the ministers of Kulun affairs, Songyun and Yunduan Dorji, to strictly guard the Kulun front line in Kulun, and asked all Zhasaks to be on alert, to detect the movements of the Northern Navy, and to remove all the horses and camels from the official racecourse north of Kulun.
Transferred to Kulun. Instructed the fourth Jebtsundamba and Robuzangtu Patan Wangshuk to go to the capital to have an audience.
Yongbao was promoted to General of Yili and led 5,000 musketeers from the Tianshan Banner Battalion to the north of Talbahatai in order to send troops to Khovd for support at any time. General Suiyuan was sent to Xingzhao to mobilize a total of 25,000 people from the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion to garrison in Shanxi.
Head north to Zhangjiakou.
On the second day of April in the fifty-sixth year of Qianlong's reign, the Russian letter that arrived in the capital was quickly translated. The letter stated that the Torgut Mongols had always been on good terms with the Tsarist Russian Empire, so after discovering that the Kazakhs had captured Lama Samailin,
, they ransomed him and asked him to bring a message to the Manchus. According to the secret report obtained by the Russian side from Irkutsk, the Northern Navy is gathering a large number of troops on the south bank of Lake Baikal. It is likely that there will be big moves in the near future, and I am afraid that it will be attacked.
Khalkha Mongolia. As the common enemy of both sides, Tsarist Russia is willing to send 20,000 troops to help Khalkha Mongolia resist the invasion via the Tangnu Uliang Sea.
Based on Samalin's oral confession and translated Russian letters, the Qianlong emperor and his ministers repeatedly conducted sand table deductions on the possibility of raising troops in Beihai Town. However, because there were many parties involved in the matter, and some key information in Samalin's oral confession could not be reviewed, no conclusion could be drawn.
clear conclusion.
Due to the invasion of Heilongjiang and the seclusion of Kyakhta, the relationship between the Manchu and Qing Dynasties and Tsarist Russia was relatively tense in recent years. The Qing court had always taken Russia as a precaution, so Qianlong believed that Samalin's messages and letters were Russian ploys.
, Prince Jia Yongyan and He Shen also have the same view. What is the reason for taking advantage of Tangnu Wulianghai? It is clearly a wolfish ambition! What should I do if I let it in and refuse to leave?
However, Minister of Military and Aircraft Agui and co-organizer Liu Yong believed that it was better to believe that it existed than to believe that it did not exist. They suggested sending a message to Russia as soon as possible to find out the facts.
However, in the middle of the fifth lunar month, the reply letter from Russia had not yet arrived, and an urgent report from the Kulun Minister of Affairs Songyun and Yunduan Dorji reached the capital.
According to the intelligence obtained by the Mongolian spies sent to the north of the Kyakhta River, the news from the Russians is likely to be true. The Northern Navy has already assembled tens of thousands of troops in the area between Irkutsk and Kyakhta.
The army keeps firing and firing every day, and drills day and night.
Qianlong immediately issued an order, ordering the Zasaks in Khalkha to assemble all their troops and horses and recruit all the archers to prepare for the battle by the beginning of June at the latest. He ordered Suiyuan General Xingzhao to lead his army north to Kulun and be sure to guard the key points of the north and south military platform lines -
Tara Dolan Terrace strives to ensure that the north-south transportation line is not lost.
In addition, he sent an urgent message of 600 miles to Fukang'an in Jilin to start negotiations with Beihai Town as soon as possible and tried every means to avoid war.
