The small setback suffered by the Hoi An camp reconnaissance team was just a splash in the process of He Xiwen's expedition to Guangxi, and had no impact on the overall situation.
Worried that the Qing army would come back again, Chen Wenxiu hastily buried his fallen men and returned to the landing position with the wounded and equipment. He asked his deputy to take people to send the wounded by boat to the main force, while he and a few of his men stayed behind.
Come down in order to continue to monitor the movements of the Qing army.
It is said that the wolf soldiers thought that the poison they put on their weapons could not save anyone, but what they didn't know was that Hui Anying had been training in tropical and subtropical areas for many years, and was bitten by snakes and insects. The snake poison had become a
A must-have for every soldier.
This matter was first proposed by Wang Yuanfang. After all, he had served as a soldier on the southeast coast for a long time. He had encountered poisonous snakes many times in combat and training, and he had a deep understanding of this. After the capture of Ba City, he suggested to Zhao Xin
, purchased a large amount of "snake pills" from another time and space and distributed them to the combat troops at the class level. Later, a popular course on snakebite treatment was also held.
Speaking of which, Chinese medicine has been around for thousands of years. Before there was serum treatment, people had always had good snake medicine. However, because they were all secret recipes passed down from family, they were not widely spread. In addition, people who were bitten by poisonous snakes
The situation mainly occurs in rural mountains and forests, and the day lilies are already cold by the time a doctor is found.
At noon on the second day after the battle on the hill, the bamboo raft fleet encamped in Hui'an arrived five miles south of Ma'an Pass. When the troops began to land and the regiment's artillery troops set up positions, the Qing army at Ma'an Pass also entered a countdown to destruction.
After two hours of preparation, all the shooting points were calibrated. Following the order from the regiment leader Wei Chao, twelve 82mm mortars opened fire one after another. The cities on both sides of Ma'an Pass immediately turned into a sea of fire, and the defenders were killed and wounded.
It was so heavy that even the Palm Print guerrillas were killed without any body parts. The few survivors, led by Qian Zongmeng Denggao, fled towards Teng County without any idea.
Afterwards, Chen Wenxiu led his men to search the ruins of the city wall and found the drone fragments buried in the rubble. The big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
As for the "iron cable crossing the river" that caused headaches to the ancient army, is it still a problem? A few small explosive packs can handle it. What is more troublesome are the sunken ships blocking the river, and people have to be sent to dive to pull out the thick wooden nails.
Before the sun set, two companies from Hui'an camp occupied Ma'an Pass. At dusk, several mortar shells with a shrill roar landed in the yard of the sub-city defense office in Ying'enmen in the south of the county, and the house collapsed
Not only did the house collapse, it also killed and injured more than a hundred officers and soldiers who were having dinner.
The huge explosion frightened the officers, soldiers and people inside and outside Teng County. Many people hid in their homes and shivered, feeling that the end of the world was just around the corner. Especially the group of wolf soldiers who had just escaped from Ma'an Pass,
They had just experienced an overwhelming shelling in the afternoon. They finally escaped and took a breather, but the shells were chasing them again.
In the eyes of these Guangxi Qing troops who were fighting against the Northern Navy for the first time, the "cannons" of the Northern Navy were really evil, as if they had eyes, and they hit wherever there were more soldiers.
However, even at this point, neither the county magistrate nor the deputy general Pingle Xie considered surrendering.
Again, the Manchu Qing Dynasty strongly advocated "ruling the country with filial piety" for more than a hundred years, and also formulated laws to maintain it. As a result, the people took filial piety very seriously. Surrender may seem to be a matter of loyalty, but behind the scenes, the hometown will be implicated.
Parents who are punished are actually unfilial.
A fool doesn't want to live a good life! The key is to be charged with "unfilial piety", and he will die immediately in society, and he will never be able to raise his head again. Even if he becomes an official in Beihai Town, he will still be stabbed in the back.
However, the officials did not dare to surrender, but the local people were different. Not many people were willing to be buried with them. Some even thought this was an opportunity to change their destiny...
Located at the mouth of the Xiujiang River ten miles away from the east gate of Teng County, there is a place called Sanhezui. The location is very important. The Ming Dynasty's "Tengcheng Ji" says: The Xiujiang River flows north and crosses the east of the city, and the two water circulations connect to Dongguang.
It is called Sanjiang Huikou, where boats and cars gather, and there are many people. In the past, flood soldiers and government officials stationed here to check passing ships and collect taxes and fees. When the news of the fall of Beiliu County reached Teng County, the gentry in the city forcibly recruited
More than a thousand fishermen and farmers formed a water camp to guard the place.
Among the more than 1,000 people, there was a fishmonger named Huang Zhengwu. He was a very loyal man and had great prestige among the fishermen. After the establishment of Shuiying, he became the leader and was in charge of more than 200 brothers. He was responsible for setting up two of the camp reconnaissance teams.
When the assault boat roared and approached the river east of Sanhezui at high speed, there was an immediate explosion in Shuiying. Everyone thought that the Northern Navy was about to land. Huang Zhengwu mutinied with more than two hundred of his men, and Shuiying
The camp fell apart in an instant.
As a result, the string of civil and military officials in Teng County that was about to be broken could no longer be stretched. Vice General Pingle Xie, Teng County Magistrate Zhang Lu, Zhou Jilong, the canon historian, and the edicts and instructors fled in panic after hearing the news.
More than 300 soldiers from Pingle Xie's Central Military Division escorted them out of the city from the Gongchen Gate in the north, heading towards the Inspection Department of Baishizhai, fifty miles to the northwest. There is a Wutun City built during the Chenghua Period of the Ming Dynasty.
Renovation and reconstruction are an important part of the riverside defense system in northern Teng County.
It didn't matter that they ran away. The remaining wolf soldiers and heroes were leaderless, and some people began to take advantage of the situation in the city. Huang Zhengwu took the opportunity to rush into the city from the north gate with his men, shouting "The Northern Navy has entered the city" and went straight to
The county government. In the end, he actually let him copy it. He didn't have time to take away the nearly ten thousand taels of silver stored in the warehouse. It was donated by the gentry and merchants in the city for military pay.
That night, fires broke out all over the city of Teng County, and the flames continued until daylight broke out. Many gentry and merchants' homes were robbed. Zhuang Yong was a local, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous. He took advantage of the chaos and took advantage of the situation; the most ruthless ones were wolves.
Soldier. It doesn't matter what kind of scholar you are. You broke down the door, rushed in, robbed, and then fled the city through the north gate with large and small bags.
When the team that would set up camp after daybreak arrived at the city gate, they saw the four gates wide open. Not only Huang Zhengwu, who claimed to be the leader of the "righteous people", but also the people of Teng County who were surviving the disaster were waiting to greet them.
Not to mention how to open warehouses and store grain, appease the people, and collect ships after setting up camp in the city. In the afternoon of that day, a telegram reporting victory signed by He Xiwen arrived from Lianzhou to the Northern Navy Staff Headquarters thousands of miles away. Waiting in Fuldan
When Zhao Xin from the city saw the telegram, it was already evening.
Today, Fuldan City has become a large city with more than 70,000 permanent residents. The earlier earthen city walls have long disappeared. The entire city is like a huge chessboard, laid out in an orderly manner along the Lefu River and Suifen River.
On the plain of impact. If patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder see it, they will definitely feel very cured.
Because there is an agricultural area fifteen miles to the north, extending to Xingkai Lake, Fuldan City today has become the most important agricultural product processing base in Beihai Town. In addition to sugar factories, meat factories, canneries, and textile factories,
Clothing factories and wineries, as well as cigarette factories, match factories, and leather factories previously established in Beihai Town have also been relocated here.
Speaking of this winery in Beihai Town, it uses solid-state fermentation to produce alcohol, with an annual output of 15,000 tons. In recent years, Beihai Town has planted sugar beets on a large scale in Heilongjiang, with an annual output of more than one million tons. If
It is all made into white sugar and cannot be sold at all. Of course, it is not impossible to dump it at low prices, but then the people in Guangdong and Guangxi who make a living by growing sugar cane will be miserable.
In ten years, the time-travelers headed by Zhao Xin worked hard to build four industrial towns. From south to north, they are Beihai Town, Fuldan City, Khabarovsk, Oha and Beihai Town in the northern part of Bitter Leaf Island.
Nowadays, it is mainly shipbuilding, of which Dolphin Bay is a military port and Whale Bay is a civilian port; Fuldan City is agriculture and light industry; Khabarovsk is a heavy industrial base such as steel manufacturing, machinery manufacturing and military industry; Needless to say, Oha, oil and wood processing
.
Last spring, the first north-south railway in Beihai Town finally broke ground, starting from Khabarovsk in the north and ending at Whale Harbor in the south. Once the railway is completed and opened to traffic, a large number of industrial products will be able to reach the port directly and then be transported to various places by sea.
In addition, the railway line from Yaksa to Chita, which started construction the year before last, has also completed one-third of the main engineering construction. Since the entire line is located in the tundra zone, construction is extremely difficult. The most difficult one is to build a horizontal crossbar.
Railway bridge across the Ergun River.
The engineering drawings of the bridge were obtained by Zhao Xin from Damao in another time and space, and the designer was Proskulyakov, a famous bridge design expert when Tsarist Russia built the Siberian Railway.
Zhao Xin came to Fuldan City this time to preside over a special meeting of the "29-member Committee" of the Transcendent People. The content decided at this meeting will set the tone for another conference including the indigenous people of this time and space.
son, so as to make political, ideological and economic preparations before the North Korean navy enters the customs.
At dusk, when the lights are on, smoke is curling up over Fuldan City. Every family is preparing for dinner, and the men in the family are about to go home from work. For the people living in the Northeast, gathering around the warm kang every night,
It is really pleasant to chat about family affairs, eat meals, and then listen to the news and excerpts in the chatterbox.
These people who left their homes and came to the outer Northeast never dreamed of the life they live today. Although the winter here is bitingly cold, they still have fifty acres of land, jobs in factories, schools for their children, hospitals for sick people, and bread for every meal.
, I can eat meat every now and then, and I live like a fairy.
At this time, in the flower hall of Chen Qingsong's house, a huge purple sand hotpot was placed in the middle of the large round table made of red rosewood. The silver charcoal inside was crackling, but there was no smoke at all. Zhou Za used a whole chicken
The carefully brewed stock is boiling, snow-white ginseng slices and red dates are tumbling up and down in the pot, and the heat is reaching the roof.
The hot pot is surrounded by an enamel-glazed eight-inch plum blossom plate, with piled venison slices, lamb slices, lamb tenderloin, salmon, prawns, abalone slices, sea cucumber slices, scallops, mushrooms, green vegetables, and radish.
, there are a lot of dazzling things, and there are various condiments such as sesame paste, rice wine, soy bean curd, chive flowers, soy sauce and so on on a small table next to it.
Compared with the silver charcoal that costs two taels per kilogram in Guanhai, birch trees over fifty years old are everywhere in the outer northeast and are worthless. Some immigrants who had made charcoal in the past discovered it and opened charcoal kilns.
However, most of the immigrants in Beihai Town have poor backgrounds and are not particular about using silver wire charcoal, so the sales volume is only about that. If the hot kang is not burning, do you have to imitate the rich man to burn the charcoal basin? You will be full after eating!
When the hostess Qing He saw her husband Chen Qingsong leading Zhao Xin, Wu Siyu, Cao Peng, and Liu Zheng out of the study to sit down, she picked up a wine pot from the small table and poured a circle of rice wine along the edge of the pot. In an instant,
The aroma filled the room, and even Liu Zheng, who was tired of eating beef and mutton after staying in Kulun for two years, was moved with his index finger.
Speaking of the dozens of women that Zhao Xin and the others "stolen" from Yangzhou back then, except for the youngest ones who are still waiting in the harem, all the others have their homes. In nine years, they have served as teachers.
, have never suffered hardships, and now they are all in their twenties, in their prime. Qing He, who is good at cooking, was originally the least beautiful among this group of women, but she fell into Chen Qingsong's eyes.
, became the head wife, and gave birth to a son and a daughter. From then on, she became the "prime minister's wife", making countless people envious and jealous.
After Qing He finished talking to everyone, he returned to the back house, where a group of female relatives also opened a large table, including Shen Xuan, A Miao, Lin Sanyue, Liu Zheng's two wives, and a large group of others.
She had to go over and take care of the child.
The matter between Zhao Xin and A Miao was handled after he returned from Shengjing before the Mid-Autumn Festival. He did not publicize it to the outside world. He only invited Chen Qingsong and his wife, Hong Tao and his wife, Li Ji and his wife, Wan Zao and his family and some other elderly people in Beihai Town to bear witness.
A few more banquet tables were set up. Shen Xuan had agreed to let A Miao in very early. This girl knew too many secrets about Zhao Xin, and there were some things that even Shen Xuan didn't know very well. In this sense, apart from marrying Zhao Xin,
New, there is no second possibility at all.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhao Xin felt very guilty for A Miao, and he could not give the latter a formal identity. Beihai Town has been holding high the banner of "abolition of slaves" in recent years.
Concubine is equivalent to reviving the slave system. Although Liu Zheng has two wives, only one can be made public. But A Miao doesn't care about this. She is full of love and is content as long as she can always be by Zhao Xin's side.
The men, including Zhao Xin, were not literati and could not play with poetry, drinking, and so on. After drinking a few glasses of rice wine, they became drunk and soon turned the topic to He Shen's escape.
A few months have passed, and the Intelligence Bureau has thoroughly investigated what happened in the capital that night and the next day. When everyone was chatting in the study, Zhao Xin gave a general account, and now he has also told some of the details.
Everyone was moved when they heard this.
Cao Peng sighed: "It's really cool to play tricks with your master. Qianlong is so good to him, so he can do it."
"What a fart!" Liu Zheng picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Cao Peng. After drinking half of the glass, he said, "Do you think Qianlong didn't know that he did so many bad things? Impossible! Let me tell you, Qianlong has been playing hawk all his life.
In the end, he was pecked out of his eyes."
Cao Peng has been in the island country for the past two years. Although intrigues are inevitable, after all, behind him is the powerful Beihai Town. Both the Sendai clan and the shogunate treat him as an ancestor, just like the Supreme Emperor. Liu Zheng is different.
In the past two years, Cullen has struggled with Lama Taiji countless times and suffered several losses, so his political sensitivity has been tempered quite well.
Wu Siyu agreed: "Xiao Liu's words are on point."
Chen Qingsong suddenly interjected: "Actually, the key here is the emperor's skill in employing people."
As soon as these words came out, Cao Peng, Wu Siyu and Liu Zheng couldn't help but look at Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin was fishing for abalone with chopsticks. The waves were too strong these days and he had to make up for it. He looked up inadvertently and saw that the three of them were there.
Looking at himself, he smiled and said: "Why are you looking at me? I have no wine or food on my face, Lao Chen, please continue talking."
Chen Qingsong also drank a lot today, and his face was as red as a monkey's butt. Seeing that the "future emperor" didn't care, he thought about it for a moment and then said in a deep voice: "We can only say this behind closed doors, and no one can tell it to the outside world."
.The ancient emperor's skill in employing people is to put it bluntly, it is to use villains instead of gentlemen. A gentleman will not get things done. An official who can balance the interests of all parties and satisfy the majority of people is a capable minister.
, and such people in history are often not gentlemen."
Cao Peng thought for a while, nodded and shook his head: "Well, that's the truth. That's wrong! Hong Liangji and Liu Taigong are upright, don't we entrust them with important responsibilities and let them guard the shepherd's side?"
Chen Qingsong smiled and said nothing, then looked at Zhao Xin.
Although Zhao Xin never puts on airs when talking privately with other time travelers, and always says that his status as emperor is just a transition, he is the foundation of Beihai Town after all. Without him, nothing can happen, so even if they are laughing and joking, everyone and Zhao Xin
Be careful when speaking. Anyone who can't see this clearly is no different from the two people in Whale Town who were under house arrest and left to eat and wait to die. So Chen Qingsong couldn't say anything more after talking about this. The rest
, we can only ask Zhao Xin to add.
Zhao Xin looked at Chen Qingsong who seemed drunk but not drunk, put down his chopsticks and laughed. Both of them were at the level of thousand-year-old foxes, so there was no point in being pretentious. At this moment, he had finished two plates of abalone and a plate of venison, which made him feel satisfied.
I was almost done, so I picked up a towel and wiped my mouth, took another sip of tea, and said slowly: "What Lao Chen said is correct or not."
Chen Qingsong smiled and said: "Then I am all ears."
Cao Peng knew that due to his relationship with Zhao Xin, he would not stay in Sendai Domain forever, and would definitely be able to manage a party. It was very important to master the knowledge of how to employ people. So he picked up the teapot and served it to Zhao Xinxu, making a gesture of asking for advice: "Zhao Peng
Boss, please stop making excuses, how about I give you a piece of pork as a apprenticeship ceremony tomorrow?"
Chen Qingsong laughed and said: "Hahaha, Xiao Cao, you still claim to be a descendant of the Cao family in She County. The gift of Xiu must require at least ten pieces of bacon!"
"To clarify this question... we must first understand what a gentleman and a villain are." Zhao Xin pondered for a moment and continued to explain: "Confucius was still in the pre-Qin Dynasty when he said this. "Zuo Zhuan" said,
The great work has not yet begun, the gentleman works hard, the villain works hard, this is the system of the previous kings. He also said, "The rule of the world is that the gentleman is able to let those below him, and the villain is working hard to serve those above. This is the etiquette of superiors and subordinates. So Confucius said
The villains are actually the common people at the bottom. In order to live a good life, of course the common people cannot talk about benevolence, justice and morality like the gentleman all day long, but they must talk about interests. So Confucius also said, the virtue of the gentleman is the virtue of the villain. The wind on the grass.
, must die."
"Close your eyes?" Cao Peng blinked. He just roughly flipped through "The Analects of Confucius" and didn't read it in detail at all.
Liu Zheng interjected: "The rulers are the wind, and the people are the grass. Wherever the wind blows, the grass falls."
"Pa!" Zhao Xin's old habit came back again. He slapped Liu Zheng on the thigh and said in surprise: "Okay! Vet Liu, it seems that he has been reading a lot in the past two years in Culun!"
Liu Zheng gritted his teeth and opened Zhao Xin's hand, rubbed it vigorously and said: "What's the point of looking at the blue sky and white clouds on the prairie every day! Didn't you tell me that if you read more books when you have nothing to do, you can't be worse than a scholar?
.”
Zhao Xin patted the other party's shoulder in agreement, turned to Cao Peng and said: "A gentleman is magnanimous, and a villain always has his worries. Have you always heard this?"
"I've heard it. It's not a good thing."
Zhao Xin shook his head and said: "In ancient times, as well as now, the rulers did not worry about their livelihood, but the common people had to turn their heads to the loess and their backs to the sky, smashing eight petals with a single bead of sweat. After paying the royal grain, they also had to pay rent. What do you think of them?
Don't worry about gains and losses, but care about every detail? Are they wrong?"
"When those in power choose those who will carry out the specific tasks, they must choose those who understand the sufferings of the people at the bottom and know how to distribute benefits, because only these people are not ashamed to talk about benefits. To only talk about benevolence, justice and morality without talking about benefits is to be a hooligan. And
Although Shen followed Qianlong to become rich and powerful, his family fell into decline in his early years, he suffered a lot at the bottom, and saw too many human relationships. He understood the interests very well. The problem of the Qianlong Dynasty was not actually Heshen, but the emperor.
I and the feudal centralized system. Although Yushitai has a complete supervision system, the so-called supervision is nothing more than the emperor's method of regulating civil and military officials. It is purely based on personal likes and dislikes and is nothing more than a piece of paper."
The supervisory law of the Qing Dynasty is called the "Qin Ding Tai Regulations", which was first compiled in the eighth year of Qianlong's reign. It is divided into eight volumes and 22 items. In the following decades, a large number of clauses were added. It can be said to be the most complete collection of supervisory laws in the feudal dynasty. However,
Many clauses are simply unenforceable against the officialdom that has existed since the Ming Dynasty.
For example, local officials make extravagant arrangements and give monetary gifts when welcoming superior officials across the border. However, in reality, such extravagant entertainment and generous gifts have become almost routine; the law prohibits any form of buying and selling of the position of a subordinate official in the government, but the successor clerk will
It has become an almost unbreakable custom for clerks who leave office to pay a price to buy their position - also known as "missing the bottom".
Like the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu and Qing Dynasty's "Imperial Regulations" also gave the six subjects the privilege of refuting matters; however, due to the emperor's dictatorship in the Qing Dynasty, the power of refutation in the six subjects was almost never exercised. Who
Dare you?
Although the emperor blurred the boundaries between Manchu and Han on the surface, in fact, they believed in their bones that this country could only belong to the Manchus. The emperor's decisions only need to be implemented and should not be discussed! So the country does not belong to one's own, why bother
So seriously.
Zhao Xin directly took Cao Peng's descendant Cao Zhenyong as an example. This man was a great scholar in the Qianlong, Jiaqing and Daoguang dynasties in history, but he was mediocre all his life. Not only did he personally practice the official tactic of "kowtow more, talk less", he also taught it to his disciples
Later generations taught them, and even warned their disciples, the censors who were responsible for corrections, to be less meddlesome, telling them to "talk too much, not to be arrogant!" The censors who originally tried to give advice because of the decline of the country heard their mentor's "
"Experiences", I can only muddle along.
While Zhao Xin was drinking water to moisten his throat, Chen Qingsong also mentioned a Qing Dynasty official couplet he had seen in a book: "The first couplet is, Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Your Excellency will be promoted to the third level.
The Sixteenth Heavenly Palace is built with the Jade Emperor God."
"Haha, where's the second line?"
"A humble position, a humble position, a humble position, a humble position, you deserve to die, and you will die in the eighteenth level of hell, digging coal for me, the King of Hell."
"Hahahaha~~! Absolutely awesome!"
In fact, when we talk about this, it has extended from the issue of employment to the big issue of official administration. The essence is the historical proposition of whether the North Navy can stabilize the world after entering the customs.
To put it bluntly, behind all systems are ideas and culture, which also determines the way of thinking and value orientation. The political form of ancient China was ethical. Starting from the "matching heaven with virtue" in the Western Zhou Dynasty, virtue was the mainstay and punishment was supplementary.
The statecraft strategies of most dynasties.
Although morality is the basic means of controlling politics and has universal binding force on the whole society, morality is only authoritative in concept, and its control over political power cannot be guaranteed. Its realization can only rely on the ruler himself.
There is a great deal of arbitrariness in the moral sense and ideological consciousness.
Since the monarch is ordered by heaven and holds all judicial, administrative, and legislative powers, then all his attitudes become an unwritten law under invisible deterrence and coercion. In fact, it is this type of ethics that
The politics of the feudal era provided an excuse for the supervisory system in the feudal era. Since the monarch's power is bound by morality and the king's transgressions are punished by heaven, then the bottom-up supervision mechanism is not so important.
At the end of the conversation, everyone understood the meaning of Zhao Xin's words, that is, the time-travelers cannot become a new privileged class, and the bureaucrats and scholars under the Beihai Town system can no longer enjoy the privileges of the past. This move will also further strengthen Zhao's confidence.
The name and identity of the new emperor. It is called an empire, but it is actually a republic.
When several people left Chen Qingsong's house, it was already past 12 o'clock in the evening, and the female relatives had already gone back with their children. Before Zhao Xinlin got on the carriage, Liu Zheng came over to stop him and whispered: "Boss Zhao, what are you doing?"
It’s been more than a year since a Mongolian prince came here, and it’s not a big deal to keep him under house arrest. There must be an explanation, right?”
"What's wrong?"
"You don't know that Tushetu Khan's wife comes to the military control meeting every now and then to question me. I hid whenever I could." Liu Zheng didn't dare to say more. In fact, in the past six months, several princes and family members from various Khalkha Mongolian tribes have been looking for her.
There were people under him and the League Flag below who took advantage of this to cause trouble, but they were quickly suppressed.
"You take the time these days to go see those people for me and tell them that we will let them go back when we take the capital."
"By the way, what are you going to do about King Hami?"
"He? Can't go back." In the night, there was a hint of determination and coldness in Zhao Xin's tone, which made Liu Zheng's heart skip a beat.
