"Sir, a telegram from the center." Feng Hua came out of the telegraph room, holding a telegram newspaper.
Zhao Yingong had just sent away a group of local scholars who came to Wanbi Bookstore to buy books. Since Zhang Dai and others came to Wanbi Bookstore, the reputation of the bookstore has gradually spread, and many scholars have come. Although there are many people reading books and few buying books, Zhao Yingong
He also took it all calmly. Not only did he not care about it, but he also provided tea and drinks for free. From time to time, he would go to the front to chat with people in person. At first, he rarely chatted in depth, and most often talked about his experiences in Guangzhou and the anecdotes of Australians.
In order to avoid being caught by others and exposing him as a fake scholar.
Gradually, this place started to feel like a literary salon.
Many scholars who are interested in new knowledge often come here to study and discuss issues together. Fortunately, Zhao Yingong's level of attainment in "Western learning" or "Australian learning" is probably unmatched in Hangzhou. Many people have
If he didn't understand something, he would point it out and explain it. He didn't dare to talk too deeply. On the one hand, the other party might not understand, and on the other hand, he was afraid that it would appear that his relationship with the "Australians" was too deep, which would arouse suspicion for himself.
Even so, the reputation of Mr. Zhao Yingong, the owner of Wanbi Bookstore, for being proficient in "Western learning" and "Australian learning" has gradually spread. After this spread, almost no one discussed with him any questions about nature, "qi" or poetry and poetry.
This kind of traditional knowledge made Zhao Yingong breath a sigh of relief.
He just sent away a group of scholars who came specially from Huzhou, two of whom were specialized in studying astronomy and calendar. Although their learning spirit was very valuable, and Zhao Yingong was completely amateurish in this regard. All his knowledge was based on previous posts.
It seemed like a little dust on his fur. But after the two sides discussed it, he was shocked. It turned out that the astronomical calendar of the Ming Dynasty was not even as good as that of the Yuan Dynasty.
The Qintian Prison in the Ming Dynasty followed the Huihui calendar passed down from the Yuan Dynasty, but the sextons only had a superficial understanding of it and did not really understand its principles. They just followed the old calendar and applied it.
The official level is still like this, let alone the actual level of civilian enthusiasts. Zhao Yingong briefly talked about the earth, the concepts of longitude and latitude and spherical trigonometric calculations, and the two scholars were so impressed - in fact, Zhao Yingong himself did not know that he was
What I'm talking about is just quoting things from some historical posts about the late Ming Dynasty's calendar.
In the end, he stopped his grand theory in time to avoid stumbling, and then recommended several popular science pamphlets on astronomy, calendar and mathematics to these two people. They made a good deal.
"I didn't expect that I know astronomy and calendar." He thought as he took the telegram from Fenghua. Fenghua was his daughter-in-law and a confidential officer trained by the General Administration of Political Security, so she had direct access to the code book.
She also took care of the translation work. In some foreign dispatch stations, naturalized civilian intelligence agents were only responsible for collecting reports, and the elders personally handled the translation work.
The telegram was from the "center";
Tianshui;
The call has been received. Your application has been forwarded to the relevant departments for processing. A clear work plan will be issued within this month.
We think your suggestion on carrying out the work of restoring the society is appropriate. According to intelligence, the leaders of the restoration society, Zhang Pu and others, have a close relationship with Xu Guangqi. Therefore, it is also relevant for us to win the support of religious Confucian scholars at this stage.
Some help.
For background information and information about the restoration of society, we will ask the Great Library to compile special materials and send them to you by the traffic officer. Their specific value is up to you to judge.
The personnel arrangements for the working group going to Shandong have been completed. They will leave for Hangzhou in the near future, and you will be responsible for receiving them. Then they will go from Hangzhou to Shandong to start work. Your task is to: arrange for the working group to go to Shandong safely; use the Catholic Church in Hangzhou
We need to contact Sun Yuanhua as soon as possible to gain his support for our cause in Shandong. Missionary Jin Nige, who is already in Hangzhou, can serve as the main liaison to accompany the working group to Shandong.
With permission, he will not return to Lingao and will go with the delegation to Shandong to carry out military geography exploration work.
After reading the telegram, Zhao Yingong struck a match and burned the translation. He drank the "Li Mu Mountain Oolong Tea" sent by Fenghua while thinking about the next step. Apparently, the Executive Committee planned to open a branch in Shandong.
base. Although the details were not explained to him, the telegram from the center clearly stated that this sub-base needs the support of Sun Yuanhua. I’m afraid the scale is not very small...
Zhao Yingong had already obtained the "eight lines" and letters from the Hangzhou Church to Sun Yuanhua, Xu Guangqi and other important figures in the church through his previous work on the church. Sending a genuine missionary to accompany him would probably be enough to establish a relationship with Sun Yuanhua.
Of course, it would be better if the Hangzhou Church could also send a core figure to help with the introduction - not only must the individual's status in the church be high enough, but also the social status should not be too bad. After all, Sun Yuanhua is a dignified governor. I'm afraid it would be better to become a scholar or something like that.
It's not appropriate either. According to Zhao Yingong's idea, it would be better to have Zhang Geng teach in Hangzhou, but this person is currently preaching in Dehua with Ai Julius, so it is difficult to count on him.
"Quick! Get off the boat! Everyone is dawdling!" Huang Ande stood in waist-deep water, wearing a bulging vest filled with kapok and dyed red - this is the so-called life vest.
Wearing a woven rattan helmet-shaped hat to protect the sun from the sun, he did not hold the officer's command knife, but carried a Minie rifle with a bayonet, and an oil paper bag on the muzzle.
Before he finished speaking, a series of rumbling cannon shots came from the sea. The shells trailed white smoke trails and passed over their heads, splashing pieces of mud on the hillside on the shore. Some thatched huts were hit.
There was a fire.
Soldiers in bloated clothes jumped out of the boats and rowboats one after another. They all wore bloated vests and carried a full set of equipment on their backs. They held their rifles high and walked awkwardly in the waist-deep water.
When a wave comes, several people will be knocked down, floated, and struggle helplessly. At this time, the sailors who were rowing boats to rescue him quickly picked him up and took off the wristbands on his arms.
Blue Ribbon He has "drowned".
"Quick, go to the shore!" Huang Ande worked hard to stabilize his body and cheered up the soldiers while paying attention to the colorful smoke signals on the shore, which were set up by the Marine Commando twenty minutes ago to give instructions. The location of the landing troops: Each company has its own landing area. The area where Huang Ande's Grenadier Company of the 4th Battalion of Infantry was called "Huang's Beach".
The clear sound of rifle shooting rang out from the small boat behind them, and several clay pots on a row of wooden stands on the beach turned into pieces. This was the light infantry company on the small boat behind them shooting.
"Don't miss it!" He muttered softly. Someone shoots you in the back. No matter how good his shooting skills are, it will always make you feel cold on the back of your neck.
A few minutes later, the light infantry company commanded by Huang Ande landed on the beach of Baitu Village and launched a charge. A new model of cannon was pushed onto the beach, and the artilleryman quickly loaded and fired the gun. Shells exploded around a sandbag fortification on the hillside that served as a "fort".
The assault engineers in the grenadier company quickly built a bridge over the trench and blew up the village. The grenadiers broke through the obstacles, put up ladders, and climbed up the wall within a few minutes. Then they threw a row of grenades and opened the wall. A breakthrough.
Ten minutes later, a signal rocket occupying the beachhead flew up from the dilapidated fortress.
"The beaching was five minutes later than planned," said Fu Sansi, the training director standing on the deck of the newly built Type 90 gunboat "Shuidian", looking at his watch.
Zhu Mingxia put down the telescope and said, "It seems that the sea training is not enough. The movements in the water are too slow."
Infantry battalion commander You Huohu, who came to observe the demonstration, said: "The life jacket is too bulky. I think it is better not to wear it. It delays the time to get ashore. It is very inconvenient to move ashore. The soldiers' movements are not strong enough."
"If you don't wear life jackets, unless you use a landing craft to seize the beach, a large number of people will drown." Li Di shook his head, "At worst, take them off immediately after landing." He continued, "To be honest, I don't think we should conduct such an exercise to seize the beach in front of the enemy. What’s the point? There simply aren’t any enemy forces capable of carrying out anti-landing operations in this time and space.”
"Try to consider it as comprehensively as possible." Zhu Mingxia said, "The war situation is ever-changing, and our calculations cannot be too full. We are responsible for the lives of soldiers."
Several people were arguing about some details of the beaching. As an "advisor" and the commander of the special reconnaissance team, Xue Ziliang has not spoken. Today, a member of the special reconnaissance team headquarters joined the exercise and was responsible for the advance of the landing force. The boys did a pretty good job in guiding and targeting. They looked a bit like a Marine Corps Forced Reconnaissance Team.
Baitu Village has been in depression since it was evacuated by the Lingao people - it was only used as a backup port for the Navy's fishing fleet. Today, it is shrouded in the sound of cannons and gunfire. Dozens of ships, large and small, are moored in the outer sea with sailing boats. Ships with the star flag and the navy flag. Single-masted patrol boats, large ships, medium ships and small ships, and rowing boats shuttled back and forth around the big ships, transporting people and various supplies. Large and small chimneys spewed out toward the sky. Thick black smoke.
This is a joint sea-land landing exercise code-named "Horai ˉ｜63｜". The purpose is to test the joint combat capabilities of the northward detachment, the navy dispatched fleet and the joint logistics headquarters. It serves as a warm-up for the engine operation that Su will start.!
