On March 30th, as soon as Fukang'an, who was staying behind in the capital, received Qianlong's order, he took advantage of the time when the Ministry of Rites was preparing for the customs defense. In the name of the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Commander-in-Chief of the Manchuria of Zhenglan Banner, he adjusted the two commanders of the Zhenglan Banner Firearms Battalion.
He led fifty people from the Shotgun Cavalry School and ten people from the Cannon Cavalry School to follow him north.
After the Second Battle of Jinchuan and Jinchuan, Fukangan was promoted to General of Jilin and was familiar with the situation in Jilin. However, he only stayed in office for one year and five months before being transferred to General of Shengjing.
.
After Qinggui and Duerjia's joint brochure was sent to the military aircraft office, Fukang'an found the map and looked at it carefully for a long time. His final conclusion was the same as Qianlong's, and he also believed that the Oros people had already crossed the sea and headed south.
, occupying a certain place by the sea.
Because the Fourteen Islands in the South China Sea are patrolled every year, he judged that the Oros must have taken advantage of the withdrawal of the soldiers who patrolled last October and landed on Bear Island. What these people wanted must be Bear Island.
leather goods and ginseng. As for the two fugitives, they probably ran into these Oros and were used by them afterwards.
However, Fukang'an really didn't know the specific location where these Oros people were camping, so he could only wait until he got there before making a judgment.
The Jilin General Mansion in the Qing Dynasty had an extremely vast area under its jurisdiction. The area under its jurisdiction was more than 4,000 miles from east to west and more than 1,900 miles from north to south.
As far as the area near the sea is concerned, the eastern coastline is more than 3,500 miles long from north to south, the coastal boundary from Shikata Mountain in the southeast is more than 2,300 miles, and the coastal boundary from Hezhefeiyaha in the northeast is more than 3,000 miles.
In this area of nearly 10,000 miles of sea, where will the Oros people be?
Because it was the emperor's special order for the imperial envoy to go north this time, and Fukang'an was very popular at the moment. The officials in charge of the seal making of the Ministry of Rites did not dare to neglect, and on April 1st, they sent someone to deliver the newly minted imperial envoy's seal.
Then, Fukang'an received the royal flag from the Ministry of War.
This famous Wang Ming Flag is actually composed of two objects: the Wang Ming Flag and the Wang Ming Pai.
The entire King's Order flag is made of a two-foot-six-inch square blue satin. In the middle of both sides of the flag is a golden word "order" embroidered in both Manchu and Chinese characters. The flagpole is eight feet long and is painted vermilion with the Ministry of War stamped on it.
seal; the top of the silver hollow gourd-shaped flagpole is decorated with a vermilion-dyed yak tail.
The king's order is a wooden gun made of eight feet long elm wood. The body of the gun is also painted vermilion. The diameter of the gun barrel is seven inches and a half. The head of the gun is made of elm wood to form a token.
It is painted bright yellow with dragons painted on both sides. Under the spear head is a red and yellow yak tail. Under the yak tail is a vermilion medallion with a wood-carved cyan lotus leaf on the upper part. The center of both sides is also golden.
The Manchu Chinese character "Ling".
In Qianlong's view, the actions of Yarha and Serdan had constituted the crime of "robbing prisons to resist prisons, and gathering in groups to resist officials", so he awarded Fukang'an this thing. It means that they can kill them on the spot when they are cheap.
People rectify the Dharma.
After receiving the king's order flag, Fukang'an did not dare to delay. He took the officers and soldiers of the firearms battalion and 300 personal soldiers equipped with matchlock guns, and together with Hailancha, rushed to Shengjing along the Northeast Road Post Road.
.
At this time, Zhao Xin did not know that his vote on Bear Island had caused shock to the Qing court and everyone. Emperor Qianlong sent Fu Kang'an and Hai Lancha, the two captains and deputy captains of the "Manchu Fire Fighting Brigade", to
coming.
However, after Qianlong did this, the rebellion that had broken out in Gansu no longer knew who to rely on.
This guy is currently teaching the children of refugees from the island country.
That's right, Zhao Xin felt that instead of struggling to educate those adults, it would be better for him to educate the children of the refugees. As the saying goes, it is easier to draw a picture on a blank piece of paper.
The second order he asked Sheng Haizhou to draft (the first was to recruit security police) was that all refugee children, as long as they are over seven years old and under fifteen years old, regardless of gender, must go to school.
It is said that among the refugee families from the island countries who have arrived in Beihai Town, basically each family has two or three children. And because of the famine, very few young children survive; those who survive to come to Beihai Town are basically nine years old.
Above, and under fifteen years old.
Forced by Zhao Xin's majesty and the threat of not giving him food if he didn't listen, many families who didn't want their girls to go to school had no choice but to obey.
According to statistics by Sheng Haizhou and others, the final number of school-age children was as high as over 800.
This is great, Zhao Xin is just trapping himself.
In order not to be laughed at by Liu Sheng and others, the man asked Chen Qingsong to bring the refugees to help expand a large open space next to the camp and erect a fence.
Before the land was leveled, Zhao Xin began his teaching career.
Therefore, "Teacher Zhao" could only get up early every morning and force himself to run with Liu Sheng and others. After breakfast, he would start class with a big speaker.
Classes last from eight in the morning to lunch every day, and in the afternoon these children have to help their parents with some work.
Due to the large number of children, more than 800 children were divided into 16 classes, with an average of 50 people in each class. These children took the pencils and exercise books they received and sat in 16 greenhouses according to different age groups.
Next, they faced the blackboard honestly, waiting for Zhao Xin to come and teach them.
Zhao Xin's initial idea was very simple. Since these children were almost illiterate, he decided to teach five words every day.
However, on the first day, sixteen classes came down all morning, and veterinarians Liu Zheng and Zhang Bo were recruited by "Teacher Zhao".
"Brothers, please help me, I really can't keep an eye on you!" Zhao Xin begged in a hoarse voice.
Originally, Liu Zheng inspected the more than 200 horses every morning, and gave Mandarin lessons to the training soldiers in the afternoon and evening. Finally, under Zhao Xin's insistence, he had to agree, and the inspection of the horses was changed to once every two days.
Zhang Bo is because currently he can only be regarded as a handyman. Since the industrial processing on the east bank of the Xila River has not yet started, Zhang Bo follows Chen Qingsong to deal with some land reclamation matters every day.
The next morning, "Teacher Zhao" held a large speaker under his left arm and held a large cup of chrysanthemum tea brewed by A Miao in his right hand. He walked out of the camp slowly and continued his class.
Although two young men were recruited, the teaching content was still in accordance with Zhao Xin's own requirements. This man planned to start his "brainwashing" after the children had initially mastered a hundred Chinese characters and their pronunciation.
For example, "The shogunate is dark, the shogun and his family are all bastards, the feudal lords are shameless, and the samurai are all just waiting to die..." and so on.
Similar brainwashing courses are also being carried out in Liu Sheng's training camp.
"Yashiro."
"Here!" Yaichiro, who was sitting in the second row, could already understand his Chinese name correctly and responded immediately. He immediately stood up at attention.
"Come and tell us your experience." Wu Siyu said calmly with his hands behind his back.
"Ah? Me!" Yaichiro didn't expect that after having a heart-to-heart chat with Jiuzang last night, he would be called out today.
"Yaichiro, come out." Jiuzang, who was a few steps away from the front of the line, said. This kid has already become the squad leader.
"Yes!" Yachiro shivered and walked out of the team that was sitting in a fan shape and stood in front of the queue. Behind him was Jiuzang.
"Don't be nervous, just tell everyone what you told me yesterday." Jiuzang saw Yaichiro standing in front of the queue very nervous, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a calm tone.
"Yes!" Yachiro turned around and stood at attention to salute.
But when he turned around to face the big guy, his claws were numb again.
"I...I...report to the squad leader, can I speak in my hometown dialect?"
Jiuzang glanced at Wu Siyu on the back right, and when he saw the other person nodded, he turned to Yaichiro and said, "Okay."
"I, I belong to Ben Song. Yesterday I told the class leader that my family used to be relatively wealthy. My father took me to secretly open a few fields in the mountain col. At that time, I could still support my younger brother in a private school in the town.
Studying. As a result, within a few years, the nobles in the domain began to inspect the land, and the few fields of my family were discovered."
Yaichiro gradually stopped stuttering, and the soldiers sitting around were looking at him.
"The feudal lord asked my family to pay back the rent for the past five years, but life was so tight that there was no extra food. Later, my younger brother also stopped attending private school.
My father had no choice but to go to the town to work for the samurai master's family; my mother also went to the town to work as a helper for the merchant's family. Later, my father became ill and because he had no money, he died six months later."
Yaichiro's eyes were already red at this moment, and his teeth squeaked from his bite.
"At that time, I went to ask the samurai master for some money to buy medicine for my father, but he said, you haven't paid all the annual tribute you owe to the domain, and you still want to borrow money? I won't even give it to a dog on the street.
After my father passed away, my mother had to go to the town to help earn money. As a result, one day people from the village came to the fields and told me..."
Yachiro couldn't talk any more and squatted on the ground with his head buried in tears.
"What's going on? Don't cry." Several soldiers in the front row advised Yaichiro.
"Oh! Don't ask. I know this. I am from the village next to him." A soldier shook his head and sighed, and said to the people who tried to persuade Yaichiro.
"Then tell me, what happened?" A young soldier asked anxiously.
"His mother was treated as a pariah and killed with a knife in an alley at night!"
"This...! Alas!"
The test of killing someone with a sword is called "Tsuji Slash", also known as "Kirisha Gosun".
From the literal meaning of the first word, it refers to randomly attacking and killing passers-by at crossroads.
"Kisegosuke" is considered to be a legitimate defensive act to prevent the samurai's reputation from being harmed by rude behavior. But this is only a superficial statement. The definition of rudeness is very broad. As long as the common people accidentally bump into the samurai's body or
Their swords, not giving way, the following offenses, etc. will also be considered "rude".
There are various reasons for samurai Tsuji Slashing. They are used to test the sharpness and quality of their newly forged swords, to verify their own martial prowess, to steal wealth and life, or simply to vent their anger.
In the early Edo period, and even as far back as the Warring States period, there was no restriction on this kind of behavior. Samurai could attack passers-by with swords on the street, and their actions were legal without any responsibility, resulting in many civilians dying by swords.
As Tsujizan became more and more serious, in 1602 the Edo shogunate began to ban this practice and severely punished such behavior.
However, "Tsuji Slaying" is a privilege granted to samurai by the shogunate, just like the Eight Banners men of the Qing Dynasty next door who could pay a ransom to avoid death after killing someone.
So some warriors would attack and kill lonely passers-by at night, and then run away. Even if the untouchables saw them, they would not dare to care.
There is nothing new about being tested on swords. In the past, these soldiers often encountered untouchables being "cut by Tsuji" at night in the towns of the island country, and no one cared about them at all.
Some of the refugees brought here by Zhao Xinyun had also been "killed by Tsuji" on their way to the Sendai Domain from their hometowns.
Among the soldiers sitting around, one person suddenly reacted and said to the people around him: "Then before we came here, weren't we all untouchables?"
Everyone was silent.
At this time, a soldier suddenly said angrily: "The year before last, when the mountain was leeward, I finally harvested some rice, but it turned out that it was not even enough to pay the annual tribute, let alone what I owed before. The master of the domain sent someone to raid my house.
Everything valuable was taken away.
When Mount Asama erupted last year, half of the rice fields were covered in magma. When the magma solidified, it looked like a group of hungry ghosts emerging from hell.
The rice in the other half of the field was covered two inches thick with volcanic ash, and it was completely ruined! The village sent people to report the news to the feudal lord, but the official who came down from the feudal clan said that the annual tribute would be doubled. Damn these gentlemen!
"
Wu Siyu on the side listened to Jiuzang's translation for him and nodded slowly. He praised in his heart: "Okay! The grievance campaign proposed by Mr. Zhao has a pretty good start."
