More than ten days later, An Lin's urgent report from Hunchun was delivered to the General's Mansion in Jilin, six hundred miles away. After Qinggui personally read An Lin's submission, he threw it on the desk.
Is An Lin's brain swollen, or has he been burned by money? He actually said in the report that "Bear Island is feared by monsters, which will lead to the annihilation of the armored soldiers with yellow flags." Does he think everyone else is as stupid as him?!
What kind of monster can kill more than a hundred armored elites? More than a hundred armored bears?!
Qinggui knew that if this matter was not investigated clearly, his entry into the military base might be delayed.
He paced slowly in his study, thinking about how to write a report to the Ministry of War.
Zhang Jia. Qinggui, courtesy name Shuzhai, was the fourth son of the late Yin Jishan, a famous minister of the Qianlong Dynasty. In the forty-seventh year of Qianlong's reign, he was awarded the title of General Shengjing. After Fukang'an was transferred, Qinggui was transferred to the post of General Jilin. He has always been gentle in temperament.
, he does things meticulously, and the so-called "keep your feet on the ground" refers to a person like him.
"Sir, there is a letter from Tokton'a." His staff said softly outside the door.
"Come in."
After the aide entered the room, he handed Miza to Qinggui and then waited aside.
After burning a stick of incense, Qinggui carefully read Toktonga's secret report and handed it to the waiting staff.
The staff member received the secret report, read it at a glance, and then placed the letter on the desk.
"Sir, I think this matter is just like what Tuoketonga said in his letter. We can only wait until the ice melts in March."
"Yes." Qinggui sighed in distress.
The climate north of Hunchun is too harsh, and the incident occurred on an island in the South China Sea thousands of miles away.
Usually, only in mid- to late March every year, Hunchun would send hundreds of armored soldiers to inspect the fourteen islands in the South China Sea.
In the early Qianlong period, the number of fugitive slaves who secretly dug ginseng and fled here on various islands in the South China Sea could number in the thousands at most. These people hunted animals on the islands, fish in the sea, and ate hazelnuts for the winter;
On the occasion, he dug ginseng on the island, secretly returned to Ninggu Pagoda by boat, and sold it to Jilin Wula.
In the eleventh year of Qianlong's reign, Ningguta General Alantai and others petitioned to strictly prohibit the illegal digging of ginseng and carry out inspections. They also petitioned to sail a boat to inspect fourteen islands including Hunchun Haikou and Soulengji Island. After receiving the Emperor Qianlong's permission, the inspection
The South China Sea system started in the second year.
The purpose of patrolling the islands in the South China Sea is: first, to strictly investigate the illegal digging of ginseng by coastal flag people; second, to prohibit bandits and private land reclamation; third, to prohibit people from fishing for sea cucumbers; and fourth, to prevent North Korean nationals from crossing the border and causing trouble.
The time when Zhao Xin and others landed on Bear Island was actually coincidental, not long after the Qing soldiers left.
Generally, Qing soldiers go to sea in late March every year and land on the islands in the South China Sea starting from April or May until they return in October or November of that year. The way the Qing soldiers patrol the islands is to find an island after landing on the island to search.
A wooden sign is hung in a conspicuous position to prove that there are no overwintering or escaped slave bandits on the island, and that no one lives on the island and cultivates fields.
After I visit the island again for inspection the next year, I will replace the wooden sign and bring the previous year's wooden sign back to Hunchun for storage.
Thinking of this, Qinggui could not come up with a better way, so he had to ask his staff to draft a document to be sent to the Ministry of War. He himself took out a blank memorial, thought for a while, and wrote "General Jilin"
I, Zhang Jiaqinggui, would like to report the escape of the Hunchun bandit Yarha Serdan and the disappearance of the Hunchun leader Tuo Mohuoguo and 106 bannermen and 15 soldiers."
(This is the beginning of a real Qing Dynasty memorial. The writing requirement is to state clearly what the memorial is about in the title, so that the Military Aircraft Department and the General Affairs Department can immediately know what the memorial is about when they receive it, so as to prioritize.)
"The ice is starting to melt!"
Outside the Bear Island camp, Lu Shoushan, who was riding a horse, shouted loudly to Zhao Xin who was not far away. When the horse came to a stop in front of the camp gate, Lu Shoushan turned over and jumped off the horse, repeating to Zhao Xin in front of him: "
Sir, the ice on the sea is beginning to melt!"
"Let's go and have a look." After hearing Lu Shoushan's words, Zhao Xin quickly called to Liu Sheng and Wang Yuanfang beside him. He walked to the stable next to the camp gate and took out a few Mongolian horses. After getting on the horse, he headed south
run to the beach.
Several people quickly came to the beach and took a quick look. They saw that the gray-white sea surface, which was originally a piece of ice, had begun to crack and dispersed into large ice blocks about half a meter thick and about one meter in diameter. Gradually,
Drifting to the sea in the distance. With the continuous impact of the sea water, large pieces of sea ice were slowly washed away by the sea water, and some were piled directly on the shore.
At this time, the cargo ship cannot go into the sea, otherwise once large pieces of sea ice block the cargo ship's seabed door, it will cause damage to the machinery on the ship; and such thick ice will also cause serious damage to the hull of the cargo ship.
"If you wait a few more days, the thickness and density of the ice will be too great, and the host's horsepower will not be able to operate at all." Liu Sheng observed the ice conditions on the sea surface for a while, then turned to Zhao Xin and said.
"Then just wait. Anyway, it's already started to melt, and it won't take more than a few days." Zhao Xin said excitedly.
After several people returned to the camp, Zhao Xin summoned everyone and ordered the refugees to start packing up their belongings and prepare to set off in ten days.
"Mr. Zhao, don't forget the hospital you promised me." Hong Tao began to make requests.
"I can't forget it, I can't forget it. Although we can't build high-rise buildings, we can still build a high-end sanatorium-style hospital on the hillside." Zhao Xin explained with a smile.
"But, Doctor Hong, you have to wait for me to bring in more people before we can start the work. As you have seen these days, there are only a few strong laborers in the camp, and the others are women and children. We will settle down there first.
.”
Chen Qingsong's planning drawings have been initially completed, and he still needs to conduct on-site surveys after arriving before he can finalize the design plan.
"Old Chen, when you get here, please feel sorry for yourself and drive the excavator for a few days." Zhao Xin went to Chen Qingsong privately and said.
"Mr. Zhao, I'm just 'meeting', and the operation is really bad." Chen Qingsong felt a little numb.
Zhao Xin tried to persuade him awkwardly: "Old Chen, there is no one else here except you. We all never come to the meeting to study and make progress together. Even I have to bite the bullet and go."
In early March, according to the agreement with Andrew, Zhao Xin took Liu Sheng, Wang Yuanfang, and Wu Siyu to meet with Andrew and completed the largest weapons transaction. The transaction price of weapons and ammunition was so low that Zhao Xin only wanted to
Give Daniel four middle fingers.
Of course, toes require talent and practice.
Ten days later, Zhao Xin's container ship finally arrived at the port.
At the pier, Zhao Xin and four generals from the security department warmly embraced Deng Fei and Ding Guofeng who had just disembarked.
"Finally, you are here." The four people who saw the freighter for the first time grabbed Ding Guofeng, couldn't wait to get on the ship and look around, and asked Ding Guofeng to take everyone around.
Ding Guofeng said to himself that in fact, what I am most familiar with is the kitchen on the ship...
"Did the voyage go smoothly?" Zhao Xin put his arm around Deng Fei's shoulders and asked in a low voice.
Deng Fei nodded: "I let you salvage this boat. The condition of the boat is surprisingly good. If you spend a lot of money, the boat will look like a new one."
"That's good." Zhao Xin finally felt relieved.
"Have you thought about what to name this boat when you get there?" Deng Fei asked curiously.
Zhao Xin looked at the freighter and said: "Our cannon is about to be put on board, why not call it 'Thor'."
"Hey, speaking of which, has your D30 arrived?"
"It arrived ten days ago."
Late at night three days later, the "Thor", which had not yet been renamed, was moored at the port dock. At this time, the twenty crew members temporarily hired by Zhao Xin had disembarked and returned to China. The entire ship was quiet and there was no one else.
A six-person team from the security department wearing masks went around and took control of the terminal's control room. The three security guards on duty were all knocked unconscious and tied up under the gunfire in the dark hole.
At around 2 o'clock in the morning, Zhao Xin on the dock received the signal from Liu Sheng that everything was completed through the walkie-talkie. He immediately took out his jade pendant and started taking action.
Before Liu Sheng evacuated, he threw three large envelopes at the security guard on duty and cut the rope on one person.
After seeing what was in the big envelope, the three freed security guards on duty unanimously decided that nothing happened tonight and kept the matter in their stomachs.
The world is peaceful and everything is normal.
Another day passed, on the hillside on the west side of the Bear Island camp.
Everyone was busy, and at a selected position, after the jack under the gun body fell and the gun body was raised, several people opened the three large frames of the cannon and fixed them with piling hoes; then they put away the jack again.
Liu Sheng and Wang Yuanfang cooperated and easily raised the gun body through the height and direction machine, so that the muzzle faced the sea.
Wang Yuanfang, the only one among them who had experience in firing cannons, aimed his direct sight at a large ice block on the sea; Ding Guofeng loaded a black projectile weighing nearly 20 kilograms into the barrel of the gun, and Liu Sheng immediately used the projectile feeding stick.
Push the projectile firmly and plug it tightly. Wu Siyu then loads the cartridge with the medicine package into the gun barrel.
"Mr. Zhao, come on." Wang Yuanfang smiled and gave up the firing position.
Zhao Xin turned around and looked at the crowd of onlookers standing twenty meters away. Today, more than 300 people came to the camp. Even Yalha, a disabled person, was supported by Serdan and stood in the crowd.
"Let them cover their ears. They must cover their ears tightly!" Zhao Xin ordered everyone in Mandarin and Taiwanese respectively.
After everyone followed Zhao Xin's order and covered their ears tightly, Zhao Xin put on earmuffs, opened his mouth wide, and nervously pulled the trigger on the left side of the gun body.
"Boom!!!" A strong wind came over the face, blowing dirt all over Zhao Xin's face.
A large amount of gunpowder smoke rushed out from both sides of the muzzle brake, accompanied by dust more than two meters high on the hard frozen ground, which made Zhao Xin cough immediately.
"Oh no! You're choking me to death!" Zhao Xin covered his mouth and coughed violently while looking at the sea in the distance.
Seven or eight kilometers away on the sea, a ball of fire flashed, followed by a large amount of broken ice being thrown into the air.
At this time, the crowd of people watching twenty meters away were frightened by the huge gunfire and fire and collapsed on the ground, their faces turned pale.
