"absurd!"
More than ten days later, An Lin's urgent message from Hunchun was delivered to the General's Mansion in Jilin, six hundred miles away. After Qinggui read An Lin's submission in person, he threw it on the desk.
Is An Lin's brain swollen, or has he been burned out by money? He actually said in his report that "Bear Island is feared by monsters, which may lead to the annihilation of the armored soldiers with yellow flags." Does he think that others are as stupid as him? !
What kind of monster can kill more than a hundred armored elites? More than a hundred giant 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, whose courtesy name was Shuzhai, was the fourth son of Yin Jishan, a famous minister of the late 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 Jilin General. He has always been a calm-tempered person, and he is meticulous in doing things. 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 Tuoke Tong'a 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 took place on an island in the South China Sea thousands of miles away.
Usually, in early 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 this occasion, he dug ginseng on the island, and then secretly took a boat back to Ningguta and Jilin Wula to sell it.
In the eleventh year of Qianlong's reign, Ningguta General Alantai and others petitioned to strictly prohibit the illegal digging of ginseng and conduct inspections. They also petitioned to sail a boat to inspect 14 islands including Hunchun Haikou and Soulengji Island. After receiving the approval of Emperor Qianlong, the system of patrolling the South China Sea began in the second year.
The purpose of patrolling the islands in the South China Sea is, first, to strictly investigate coastal flag residents for illegally digging ginseng; 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.
It should be said that the time when Zhao Xin and the others landed on Bear Island was actually just right, not long after the Qing soldiers left.
Generally, Qing soldiers go to sea in late March every year and land on various islands in the South China Sea starting from April or May until returning in October or November of that year. The way the Qing soldiers inspected the island was to find a conspicuous place to hang a wooden sign after landing on the island to prove that there were no overwintering or escaped slave bandits on the island, and that no one lived on the island and cultivated fields.
After visiting the island again for inspection in the second year, a wooden sign will be replaced, and the wooden sign from the previous year will be brought back to Hunchun for storage.
Thinking of this, Qinggui could not come up with a better solution, 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: "Jilin General Zhang Jiaqinggui would like to report that the Hunchun bandit Yar Hasseldan escaped. Hunchun Zuo led Tuomo Huoguo and one hundred soldiers." Six flag officers and fifteen are missing."
(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 Xiongdao camp, Lu Shoushan on horseback 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 jumped off the horse and repeated to Zhao Xin in front of him: "Master, the ice on the sea has begun to melt!"
"Let's go and have a look." After hearing Lu Shoushan's words, Zhao Xin quickly called Liu Sheng and Wang Yuanfang beside him, 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. I saw that the gray-white sea surface that was originally a piece of ice had begun to crack one after another, and was scattered 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 sea water, large pieces of sea ice are slowly washed away by the sea water, and some are 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 starting 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 until I can get some more people to start 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 to 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 'knowing how to speak'. I can't operate well." 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, so we study together and make progress together. Even I have to bite the bullet."
In early March, in accordance with the agreement with Andrew, Zhao Xin took Liu Sheng, Wang Yuanfang, and Wu Siyu to meet with Andrew and completed the largest arms transaction. The trading prices of weapons and ammunition were so low that Zhao Xin just 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: "Actually, what I am most familiar with is the galley on the ship...")
"How was it? Did the voyage go smoothly?" Zhao Xin put his arm around Deng Fei's shoulders and asked in a low voice.
Deng Fei nodded: "You have to fish this boat. The condition of the boat is surprisingly good. Mr. Zhao spent a lot of money on it, and this boat is as good as a newly launched 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?"
"Arrived ten days ago."
Late at night three days later, the "Thor", which had not yet been renamed, was moored at the port pier. At this time, the twenty crew members temporarily hired by Zhao Xin had already disembarked and returned home. The entire ship was quiet and there was no one else.
The six-man team of the security department wearing masks attacked everywhere and had the terminal control room under control. 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. Then he took out his jade pendant and started taking action.
When Liu Sheng left, 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 campground.
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 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 the crowd who had experience in firing cannons, aimed his direct sight at a large piece of ice on the sea; Ding Guofeng loaded a black projectile weighing nearly 20 kilograms into the barrel of the gun, and Liu Sheng immediately used an iron The stick pushes the projectile tightly. Wu Siyu then loaded the cartridge with the medicine package into the barrel of the gun.
"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 a hundred 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 gust of wind came over, 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 choked Zhao Xin and suddenly coughed.
"Nah!" Zhao Xin covered his mouth and coughed 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, hundreds of people watching from a distance of 20 meters were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground, their faces turned pale.
