Chapter 90 Wildly growing weeds
After careful discussion, Wu Teshan and Tokton'a still felt that they could not just walk away and give up easily.
As the saying goes, "When people pass by, they leave traces, but when geese pass by, they leave a sound." How could there be no traces of more than a hundred armored soldiers and two hundred horses at all? !
Wu Teshan ordered all his men to search the entire island again, making sure not to miss every cave and river valley, and even search carefully for every tree pit. If there are still no results this time, then board the ship and continue to search the remaining thirteen islands in the South China Sea.
Two days later, a group of Qing soldiers finally found clues on a slope to the north of the central part of Bear Island.
Because it was already April, the dry weeds everywhere on the island began to sprout a little green. However, the pair of Qing soldiers discovered that there were four pieces of land on this slope where the weeds were growing very strangely; the weeds elsewhere were just beginning to emerge, but the weeds here were actually unusually luxuriant than other places, with several weeds actually growing. Flowering.
The Qing soldiers who noticed the strangeness stabbed the ground with their spears. With one stab, it penetrated the ground more than a foot deep. Why is the soil here so loose?
"Something's wrong, there's something weird here." A Qing soldier said.
"Pull it out." The leader said.
The Qing soldier pulled out the gun tip, and the leader took the spear, carefully looked at the color of the soil on the gun tip, and then brought the gun tip to his nose and smelled it.
"There are people buried under here! Dig it up!" The leader suddenly said to his subordinates.
Then he said to a Qing soldier: "Go to the camp quickly to get some tools, and then ask some people to dig together."
More than half an hour later, fifty Qing soldiers arrived, led by Xie Ling Wote Shan.
"See you, Lord Xie Ling!" The leader led his men to kneel down and salute.
"Everyone, get up. Tell us what's going on." Wu Teshan raised the whip in his hand and asked.
The leader raised his fists and said, "Sir, I have been to the northwest to fight before, and have encountered similar situations. I estimate that there are people buried under these fields."
"Take my token and go back and call 300 more people to get all the shovels in the camp." Wu Teshan ordered Goshiha beside him.
After Geshiha took the order and took the order, Wu Teshan called to the fifty Qing soldiers who came with him: "Dismount! Dig up everything here."
More than two hours later, with the joint efforts of hundreds of people, all four large pits where Zhao Xin led the refugees to bury the corpses were dug out, and 108 corpses were carried out from the pits by the Qing soldiers. .
Fortunately, the weather was not too hot at this time, and the appearance of these corpses was still well preserved. After more than a dozen Qing soldiers wiped all the faces of the corpses with cloths soaked in water, Tuomohuoguo was finally found!
After hearing the news, Tokton'a covered his nose and walked closer to check. He saw a big hole on the forehead of Tomohuoguo's corpse. He had the body turned over again, and the big hole in the back of the head became even more obvious.
"Is this shot with a fire gun?" Tuoketong'a was shocked. The thieves actually had fire guns!
An hour later.
"Two adults, there are a total of 108 corpses here. After careful identification, there are 93 armored soldiers with yellow flags and 15 civilians. Among them are the assistant leader Tomo Huoguo, the heroic riding school... all the subordinates have been checked It turns out that except for six people who were hit by arrows and four people who were chopped with sharp weapons, the rest were hit by firecrackers and died. This is the warhead found by my subordinates."
After the leader finished speaking, he raised a warhead that had broken into several pieces.
Tuokton'a ignored the dirt on the bullet, stretched out his hand to take it, looked at it, and rubbed it a few times with his fingers.
It's actually not lead. No, this warhead is actually double-layered, with lead on the inside and steel on the outside!
He has been in the army for many years and has seen muskets and lead bullets, but he has never seen projectiles like this.
As his subordinates urged him to reveal the condition of the body one by one, Wu Teshan became weak and collapsed on the ground.
Everything the shaman said is true, it's all true. It's over! It's all over now!
Ten days later, both Ningguta and Jilin Wula received urgent reports from Hunchun.
Jilin General Qinggui was furious! When he was about to write a note to report the situation to the court, he received an order from Qianlong, ordering him to go to Beijing immediately to take over as Minister of Works and wait for the emperor to summon him after his tour to the south. At the same time, the new General Jilin was already on his way.
This person is the 47-year-old Aixinjueluo Duerjia, who once served as the deputy governor of Miyun.
Speaking of which, Durga is the fifth grandson of Nurhaci, and his branch is the direct descendant of Nurhaci's sixth son Tabai. This person has successively served as the deputy commander-in-chief of Mongolia in the Zhenghong Banner, the deputy commander-in-chief of Manchuria in the Xiangbai Banner, the minister of the Firearms Camp, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Mongolia in the Xianglan Banner, the deputy commander-in-chief of Aihun City, and the deputy commander-in-chief of Miyun.
Qinggui carefully pondered Qianlong's decree for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out, so he ordered his staff to be invited. This person has been following Qinggui for many years. He has been following Qinggui since he became the counselor and minister of Yili in the 36th year of Qianlong's reign.
The staff took the emperor's edict with both hands and read it carefully for a long time, then held it in both hands and handed it back to Qinggui.
"How?" Qinggui asked after placing the edict.
"Dong Weng, you are worrying too much. The emperor is trying to protect you." The staff member stroked his long beard and said with a smile.
"how do I say this?"
"Dong Weng, you are a gentleman, and your behavior is quite like that of the ancients. I think you are just preoccupied with doing the things in front of you and repaying the emperor for your kindness, so you have ignored the joints."
"Keep talking." Qinggui understood a little bit.
"In this matter, it is obvious that the emperor is protecting you. According to the student's judgment, the matter in Hunchun is not that simple. It is most likely a muddy water. At this juncture, the emperor sent General Feng En (Durjia inherited The title of General Fengen) will take your place..."
When Qinggui heard this, he completely understood. He himself has always wanted to imitate his father Yin Jishan, who can not only work in the military camp, but also travel around the rivers. So even though he was sent to a bitter and cold place, he was still happy with it.
Now the emperor didn't want to get stuck in the quagmire of the Hunchun incident, so he sent the fierce Duerjia to handle the matter in his place. This is the emperor protecting himself.
Thinking of the emperor's kindness and care for three generations of his family (Qinggui's grandfather was Yin Tai and his father was Yin Jishan), Qinggui couldn't help but feel a little sore in his eyes, and tears were about to burst out of his eyes. He knelt down facing south and kowtowed three times respectfully.
…
"Yashiro!"
"Hai!"
"What the heck! Say 'yes' or 'arrive'! Say it again!" Ding Guofeng glared at Yaichiro and said.
In the early morning, more than fifty people stood in five rows on the beach south of the camp. Sheng Haizhou, Jiuzang, Huji, Pan Xiucheng, and Elu all stood in the team.
Ding Guofeng was holding a roster to call the names. Next to the names of all the refugees from the island country on the roster, the pinyin of their names is marked.
"Here we go!" After Sheng Haizhou's explanation, Yachiro tried his best to imitate Ding Guofeng's accent and said loudly.
"Forget it, let's do this for now." Liu Sheng said from behind. "For the first time, just learn to stand at attention and shout 'arrive'. I think these people need to change their Chinese names, otherwise it will be too difficult to pronounce."
"Who says it's not? I think Lao Pan's name is the most in line with the normal standards."
"How fresh, Lao Pan is Chinese. Can it be the same?" Liu Sheng rolled his eyes at Ding Guofeng, and then saw Pan Xiucheng touching his head and smiling.
"Don't laugh! Did I order you to laugh? Remember this, and explain it to those who don't understand. Here, without my order, even if you fart, you should hold it back!" Liu Sheng Standing in front of the team, roaring.
"Hahahaha~~~" The men, women and children who were watching were laughing with joy as they watched Liu Sheng angrily reprimanding a group of men.
"Go, go, go~~" Liu Sheng waved his hand at these onlookers, and several children imitated his example, waving and gesticulating.
"Sheng Haizhou!"
"arrive!"
"Let these people do whatever they have to do!"
what? what?
Sheng Haizhou had only learned Mandarin for a short time, and he couldn't understand Liu Sheng's tongue-twisting order at all. Sir, what are you doing?
"Just let them disperse and don't stay here." Wang Yuanfang took a look and quickly stepped forward to explain to Sheng Haizhou.
"Oh. 'What are you doing?' That's what it means." Sheng Haizhou looked understanding and ran over to attack people.
Liu Sheng looked at the chaotic scene in front of him and thought to himself that he was really a failure. After Sheng Haizhou returned to the team, he waved his hand: "Run~walk!"
More than fifty people, plus Liu Sheng, Wang Yuanfang, Ding Guofeng, and Wu Siyu, began to run around the camp for exercise.
An hour later, except for those who insisted on running and exercising on Bear Island, all the newly recruited refugees were staggering tiredly. Jiuzang, Huji and others followed Wang Yuanfang's example and kept urging these people to get up and walk slowly. If you don't obey, just kick them with your feet.
Wang Yuanfang looked at the scene in front of him and said to Liu Sheng: "I don't think this matter should be rushed. In the first week, we will start physical training first, and then learn Mandarin. If physical fitness and language can't get along, our subsequent training will be very troublesome. "
Liu Sheng nodded and could only do this for now.
So, the day after Zhao Xin left, the fifty-person "security brigade" began the nightmare process of running in the morning, learning Mandarin in the morning, continuing to run in the afternoon, and learning Mandarin in the evening.
As Yaichiro walked back to the tent, his legs were shaking from exhaustion. I kept thinking about the words "yes", "arrive" and "understand" that were taught in class in the evening.
"Master, are you back?" Under the torch outside the tent, Yaichiro's wife looked at the figure not far ahead who looked like her man, and tried to ask.
"Arrived!" Yachiro shouted instinctively as he stood at attention.
"Ah~ What's wrong with you?" The wife was startled by her man.
"Huh? Oh. Sigh~~" Yachiro finally realized that he was home.
There was so much trouble on this day, and everyone was stunned by the torment.
