Chapter 88 The Secret of the Jade Pendant

Chapter 88 The Secret of the Jade Pendant

"Go and play." Zhao Xin put Duofu on the ground and purred the cat's head a few times.

"Meow~~" Duofu called to Zhao Xin, walked to the front of the RV, jumped on the driver's seat, and continued to lie down and bask in the sun.

Zhao Xinchong looked out the window and saw that the surroundings were quiet and no one was moving.

In the past two days, everyone in the camp has been busy with the resettlement of the newly arrived refugees. From the oldest to the youngest, everyone has something to do, and the camp has become much quieter.

So he first locked the two door locks on the car door from the inside, and then closed the curtains.

After Zhao Xin confirmed that no one would peek out of the window or suddenly open the door and come in like Liu Sheng did, he took off the jade pendant hanging around his neck.

The last time he went back, he stopped by a gold shop on the roadside and had someone make a holder for the jade pendant. He also found a strong nylon rope and put it on and hung it around his neck. This is Zhao Xin's biggest secret.

, now even Liu Sheng rarely sees Zhao Xin take it out, let alone others.

Zhao Xin sat on the armchair a little decadently, looking at the jade pendant in his hand.

The surface of the originally dark yellow jade pendant has turned into a milky yellow, and the texture of the jade has become more oily and delicate. Especially the small dragon carved on it has a few more faint wisps of red. At a glance, there is a

Something inexplicably weird.

Zhao Xin let out a long sigh. He really didn't understand. What the hell is this? A blood-sucking stone?!

During the last transfer from Bear Island, Zhao Xin tried to collect the horse with a jade pendant, but when he took it out again, the horse was dead. He felt that something was wrong at that time. No one else noticed at the scene except Liu Sheng.

In the following days, Zhao Xin never used the jade pendant to collect anything, he just took it out. Later, because he was busy picking up the refugees and dealing with the Sendai clan, he put the jade pendant aside.

But whenever Zhao Xin occasionally thought about this in the dead of night, he would feel extremely panicked.

It would be terrible if the jade pendant could no longer be used to carry people! This means that except for Zhao Xin himself, the other eleven modern people will never be able to go back!

In the meeting yesterday morning, it was finally mentioned that he would take Hong Tao back to purchase medicines. Zhao Xin actually agreed bravely. Because of the large-scale purchase of medicines, Zhao Xin could not handle it alone. Without Dr. Hong’s relationship,

The little medicine he got by doing some here and there was simply not enough.

But if something happens when we take Doctor Hong away, we will be in big trouble!

Not to mention whether Liu Siting will fight against her, Zhao Xin himself will not be able to overcome this obstacle.

This is also the reason why he just said he was going to Nagasaki. Zhao Xin wanted to establish a relationship with the Qing Dynasty merchants in Nagasaki through trade, and then ask those merchants to invite a few Chinese medicine doctors from the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the south, even if it cost a little more gold.

does not matter.

It is said that although the six-person team of the Security Department were all scouts, they only knew some simple knowledge of field hemostatic herbs. It would be a waste to leave the herbs all over the mountains and plains unused. Moreover, Hong Tao and Liu Siting alone could not do this at all.

To deal with the medical and health management of the large number of refugees behind.

Zhao Xin's positioning of the twelve modern members, including himself, is to be at the top of the pyramid in various affairs within the camp, such as Mandarin education, basic knowledge education, agricultural development, and military training.

His purpose is first to rescue the victims of this era, so he must teach people how to fish; instead of pouring food from another time and space to feed them all day long.

Besides, he had to face and solve the Qing court in the southwest and the Tsarist Russian Exploration Company in the north, not to mention the British bandits in the South China Sea.

Overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty was actually relatively easy for Zhao Xin. Tens of thousands of Shandong men were recruited from the interior in the next year or so, and coupled with the training of a six-man team from the Ministry of Security, the problem of soldier resources was easily solved. But after the overthrow,

That's the hardest thing to deal with.

How to manage the occupied areas? What to do with the bannermen? Should we continue feudalism or completely overturn the situation?

Zhao Xin only has some preliminary ideas about what he will face in the future. After all, those things are still too far away.

Last night, Zhao Xin couldn't sleep at all because of the jade pendant. After thinking hard alone, he remembered that the jade pendant had absorbed the blood from his wound before. So he finally had a sudden change of heart and had the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

, decided to test it on myself.

Zhao Xin found a syringe, drew about a certain amount of blood from his arm, injected it into a glass, and then put the jade pendant in.

As expected, the blood in the cup was quickly sucked up by the jade pendant. After Zhao Xin picked up the jade pendant and examined it carefully, he discovered the changes in the jade pendant.

This shocked Zhao Xin to the point of almost shouting.

Are you trying to become a spirit? What a joke!

But when I think about it again, I am already in the 18th century, so what is impossible?

When he turned the jade pendant over and looked at the back, he found that the blurry writing on the back of the jade pendant had become clearer than before. There were faint horizontal marks on the right side.

Zhao Xin thought about it at that time, gritted his teeth and continued to draw blood from his arm. This time after the jade pendant was absorbed, the pale red color of the dragon on the front became more obvious, but the writing on the back

But nothing changed.

With so much anxiety, this morning, Zhao Xin decided to try again.

Since King Duofu had been with him for a long time and he was no longer willing to experiment with it anymore, Zhao Xin decided to find a horse to try.

(King Duofu: "Master, spare my life! Master is so kind~~")

Zhao Xin, who had not slept all night, secretly went to the horse stall before the veterinarian Liu Zheng got up. He picked a horse that looked the thinnest and knocked the horse on the forehead with the jade pendant.

God bless! Twenty minutes later, the horse seemed to be frightened, but it still looked alive and kicking.

Okay! In addition to taking Doctor Hong back for shopping, I think I can also bring the ten heavy-duty draft horses I raise on the farm.

He lost a lot of blood, didn't sleep all night, and thought too much. This is why Liu Siting said that Zhao Xin looked so bad when she saw him today.

"It seems that using the jade pendant to collect life forms back and forth is to use my blood as a sacrifice. This thing is too evil..." Zhao Xin, who was already sleepy at this time, hung the jade pendant around his neck again,

Tuck into the neckline.

In fact, the reason is very simple. If Zhao Xin brought 10,000 modern people here at no cost, and each one has an AK, wouldn't he be able to dominate the world?

Don't do this...

"Then let's do this for now and see where we can go with these eleven people..."

Zhao Xin, who had been working hard all night, leaned on the chair and quickly fell asleep.



Two hours later, Liu Siting took A Miao and several women under her, wearing white coats and masks, and carrying packed medicine bags, and entered the isolation area again.

"Let's start from No. 1." Liu Siting said to A Miao.

Several people arrived at the northeast corner of the quarantine area, which was the tent where the Yachiro family lived.

"Everyone has come out to get medicine!" A woman behind Liu Siting opened the door curtain and shouted inside.

The Mishilang family and four other families, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly came out and bowed to Liu Siting and others.

"Take out the wooden signs from each of your families," a woman said.

When the five families heard this, they quickly took out the wooden sign and handed it to the woman.

"Mashiro, family of five, four adults and one child." After the woman finished speaking, she took out a small stamp, stamped it on the back of the wooden sign, and then handed it back to Mashiro.

Yaichiro took it and took a look. There was a blue mark stamped on the back of the wooden sign. He couldn't understand the words on it at all. However, the mark on the sign when receiving lunch was red.

A woman in a white coat took out a small paper bag from the medicine box she was carrying, which contained the medicine that the Yachiro family needed to take.

"This is deworming medicine, two tablets for adults and one tablet for children. You should all take it now." The woman opened the paper package, revealing the white tablets.

"Ah! Deworming?" Yaichiro was stunned.

"Yes, the teacher said that you all have worms in your stomach, so you must take medicine. This medicine needs to be taken twice a day for three days in a row." A Miao explained aloud.

The whole family just stared at each other for a while. Yaichiro gritted his teeth, took two pills, raised his head and swallowed them.

These gentlemen brought themselves here in big ships and gave them food and shelter. They couldn't poison themselves to death in the end.

"Eat it. The master will not harm us." Yaichiro explained to the hesitant family members after swallowing the medicine.

After everyone in the family had finished taking the anthelmintic medicine, the woman took out another pill and handed it to Yachiro.

"This is to treat your son's lung disease. Let him take it now."

Yaichiro took the oval-shaped white tablet, squatted down, and stuffed it into his son's mouth without hesitation.

The pills were too big and very bitter. Yaichiro's son put the pills in his mouth and soon he was crying and grinning as he wanted to spit them out.

A Miao looked at it and said quickly: "Don't vomit!"

Yachiro put his hand to his son's mouth to prevent the medicine from falling to the ground. His wife hurriedly turned around and entered the tent, scooped half a bowl of water from the bucket with a porridge bowl, and then walked out quickly.

Yachiro took the bowl and asked his son, who was holding the medicine, to drink the water.

The son frowned, held the bowl, and drank heavily without spitting out the pill.

Liu Siting looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and said to A Miao: "Come and see again tomorrow. If you don't cough anymore, you can take another two days and you'll be fine."

After A Miao conveyed the message, the Yachiro family kept bowing to express their gratitude.

Five hundred people occupied a total of twenty-seven tents. Liu Siting and her women were busy from afternoon to evening.

Tomorrow these refugees will start cleaning themselves, then receive clothes and shoes, and finally burn the tattered clothes they changed into.

At this point, the epidemic prevention tasks for the first batch of disembarked refugees have been basically completed.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, the eleven modern members were called together by Zhao Xin and held a meeting.

The entire content of this meeting is to prepare the formation of Beihai Town's guard force.

At the beginning of the meeting, Zhao Xin proposed that as the number of people increases and men, women, old and young mix, it is inevitable that there will be individual people with ulterior motives or spies from the Sendai clan among the refugees. Therefore, the entire Beihai Town must implement military measures at present.

management.

The first requirement of militarized management is institutionalization, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, and all the details of the refugees' lives are included.

Chen Qingsong was responsible for drafting this part of the system. After all, he has been engaged in management work for many years, and his writing ability is not a bit better than others here.

Wang Yuanfang and Liu Sheng proposed to select 210 people from the more than 4,000 refugees on the first boat; this group of people would be organized into 24 squads, eight platoons, and two companies together with the 30 original refugees.

.Excluding cooking classes, each company has 110 people.

These two companies will serve as the initial guard force of Beihai Town and will be trained by a six-person team from the Security Department.

As for the content of the training plan proposed by the six-person team of the Ministry of Security, it completely copied their own basic training outline during the recruit period. Taking into account the fragile physical fitness and little knowledge level of the refugees, the entire training cycle changed from ninety days to

For one hundred and twenty days.

Regarding the recruit training subjects, after a general discussion, some adjustments were made to the original training content, from basic physical training to mastering Mandarin, doctrine learning, queue training (individual queue and squad queue), basic tactical movements, rescue and

Hygiene, and ultimately weapon handling, these seven parts must be completed.

After the first phase of training for new recruits, the second phase of targeted combat training begins.

And if more than half of the people are unable to complete the training cycle after the end of the training cycle, then they must conduct a second retraining. The retraining cycle is halved to sixty days. After the sixty days, if there is still a complete

If it fails, then carry out targeted individual training.

As for those who are really useless or cheating, Zhao Xin's opinion is to send them to Solenji Island as supervisors. Talents are precious now, and even if they are really not good enough, they still have some basic knowledge. If they don't use it,

It's really a pity.

According to Wang Yuanfang's suggestion, the combat readiness training subjects in recruit training will be moved to the second phase of training.

As for the grenade throwing item, the twelve time travelers unanimously decided to discuss this later.

This thing might kill someone; besides, there are not many grenades at all.

At the end of the meeting, Zhao Xin pointed out to everyone: "The composition of our future military force will be based on the farmers recruited to Shandong next year. The current island country refugees can only be used as temporary supplements in the early stage.

We should not treat these island country refugees as cannon fodder. They are all future residents of Beihai Town. This needs to be clear to everyone.

In the previous ambush battle on Bear Island, although we had deeply buried the eliminated Qing troops, there were more than a hundred people after all! So the Qing troops patrolling the coastal islands will find out sooner or later. Everyone

Be sure to maintain the utmost vigilance.

As for the local aborigines, I will discuss with Liu Sheng and the others individually after the meeting how to deal with them. When you go out to the camp, you must let people from the security department accompany you. Remember!

At the same time, the Tsarist Russian exploration companies located in the Kamchatka Peninsula in the north have made contact with the Matsumae Domain in Hokkaido. Therefore, in our future defense plan, we must take into account the southward movement of the Tsarist Russians."

The contact between the Tsarist Russian Exploration Company and the Matsumae Domain of Hokkaido that Zhao Xin mentioned must have started eleven years ago.

In 1773, the second year of the reign of the island nation, a large fur trader named Pavel Rebedov Rastochkin came into contact with the Ezo people from the south through fishing activities in the far northeast. So he

Keenly felt that the South might still have opportunities to obtain huge profits.

Then, he used his private property and the sponsorship obtained from other nobles and businessmen to purchase and equip a warship; and through the recognition of the local commander in Kamchatka, he became a captain of the Tsarist Russian Navy.

In 1778, after the failure of the first two expeditions, Rastochkin's fleet finally successfully sailed to the later Kunashir Island for the third time. Led by local Ezo guides, they fought with Matsumae Domain

made contact and started negotiations.

For fear of causing trouble, the Matsumae clan stated that trade issues could only be discussed in Nagasaki, but they would not pilot the ship to Nagasaki for the other party.

At this time, Pavel Rybedov Rastochkin was unable to carry out the next expedition because he owed a huge debt. He returned to St. Petersburg and reported the details of the trip to the authorities.

Although this operation placed a heavy debt burden on him personally, it was highly recognized by Catherine II, who believed that this failed operation was a good start for future activities in the Far East.

Since Zhao Xin will take Hong Tao away tomorrow to purchase supplies, before leaving, Zhao Xin designated that in addition to the security department that will continue to be in charge of Liu Sheng, other tasks such as medical care, veterinary medicine, agricultural land reclamation, and camp construction will be made by Chen Qingsong as the temporary director.

Responsible, the relevant personnel deployment will be arranged by him.

The next morning, Zhao Xin left in a hurry with Hong Tao. The two of them would return in a week. Also coming back at the same time would be the ten heavy-duty draft horses.
