On March 30, 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 Zhenglan Banner Manchuria, he adjusted the two commanders of the Blue Banner Firearms Battalion. He led fifty men and shotgun cavalrymen, and ten men from the cannon cavalry school followed 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 he was 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 moved southward, invading somewhere on the seaside.
Because the Fourteen Islands in the South China Sea were patrolled every year, he concluded 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 are looking for must be the furs and ginseng from Bear Island. 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's Mansion in the Qing Dynasty had an extremely large area under its jurisdiction. The territory under its jurisdiction is 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 to Mount Shikarta in the southeast is more than 2,300 miles, and the coastal boundary to 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 this imperial mission to the north was a special order of the emperor, Fukang'an was now extremely red. The officials in charge of the seal casting in the Ministry of Rites did not dare to neglect, and on April 1, they sent someone to deliver the newly cast imperial envoys to Guanfang.
Then, Fukangan 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 long and painted vermilion with the seal of the Ministry of War stamped on it. The top of the silver hollow gourd-shaped flagpole is decorated with a vermilion-dyed yak tail.
The Wang Mingpai is a wooden gun made of eight-foot-long oak wood. The body of the gun is also painted vermilion, and the diameter of the gun barrel is seven inches and a half. The spear head is made of elm wood to look like a token, dyed yellow, with dragons painted on both sides. Under the spear head is a red and yellow yak tail. Under the yak tail is a yak whose upper part is decorated with wood-carved blue lotus leaves. A vermilion round card with the golden Manchu and Chinese character "Ling" in the middle of both sides.
In Qianlong's view, the actions of Yarha and Serdan constituted the crime of "robbing prisons to rebel against prisons, and gathering in groups to resist officials", so he awarded Fukang'an this gift. This means that when it is cheap, you can rectify the law on the spot.
After receiving the king's order flag, Fukangan did not dare to delay. He took the officers and soldiers of the firearms battalion and 300 soldiers equipped with matchlocks, Geshiha, together with Hailancha, and 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 both the Qing court and the public. Emperor Qianlong sent Fukang'an and Hailancha, the two captains and deputy captains of the "Manchu Qing 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 the refugees in the island country.
That's right, Zhao Xin felt that instead of struggling to educate those adults, it would be better to educate the children of the refugees himself.
The second order he asked Sheng Haizhou to draft (the first was to recruit security police) was that all refugee children, regardless of gender, must go to school as long as they are under fifteen years old.
It is said that among the refugee families from the island country now in Beihai Town, basically each family has two or three children. And because of the famine, few young children survived; those who could come to Beihai Town were basically those over nine 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 more than 800.
This is great, Zhao Xin is just trapping himself.
In order not to be laughed at by Liu Sheng and others, this guy 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 the others. After breakfast, I started class with a big speaker.
Classes last from 8 a.m. to lunch every day, and in the afternoon these children have to help their parents with some work.
Due to the large number of students, more than 800 children were divided into 16 classes, with an average of 50 students per class. Taking the pencils and exercise books they received, these children sat under sixteen greenhouses according to different age groups, facing the blackboard honestly, waiting for Zhao Xin to teach them.
Zhao Xin's initial thoughts were very simple. Since these children were almost illiterate, he decided to teach them five words every day.
But Class 16 came down all morning...
As soon as the first day of class ended, veterinarians Liu Zheng and Zhang Bo were attracted 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. In the end, Zhao Xin had no choice but to agree, and the inspection of 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 handle some land reclamation matters every day.
The next morning, "Teacher Zhao" had a large speaker under his left arm and a large cup of chrysanthemum tea that A Miao had brewed in his right hand. I walked out of the camp slowly and continued my class.
Although two strong men were recruited, the teaching content still followed Zhao Xin's own requirements. This guy plans to start his "brainwashing" project after the children have 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!" Yachiro, who was sitting in the second row, was able to correctly understand his Chinese name and responded immediately. He immediately stood up and responded.
"Come and tell us about 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," said Jiuzang, who was a few steps away from the front of the line. This kid has become the squad leader.
"Yes!" Miichiro trembled as he walked out of the team that was sitting around a fan and stood in front of the queue. Behind him is 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 my family's fields 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 help the merchant's family. Later, my father became ill and died six months later because he had no money. "
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 died, my mother had to go to the town to help earn money. As a result, one day people from the village ran 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'm 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 Gomen".
From the literal meaning of the first word, it refers to randomly attacking and killing passers-by at crossroads.
The "Kisesa Yoshin" is considered to be a legitimate defensive act to prevent the samurai's reputation from being harmed by rude behavior. But this is just a superficial statement. The definition of rudeness is very broad. Common people will also be considered "rude" as long as they accidentally bump into the samurai's body or their swords, refuse to give way, commit the following offense, etc.
There are various reasons for samurai Tsuji Slashing. They use people to test the sharpness and quality of their newly forged swords, to verify their own strength, 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, this behavior was unchecked. Samurai were able to attack passers-by with swords on the street, and their actions were legal without any responsibility. As a result, many civilians were killed 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 a knife. These soldiers used to be in the towns of the island country. Untouchables were often "Tsuji-Beheaded" at night, and no one cared about them at all.
Some of the refugees brought 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 for the annual tribute that year, 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 by volcanic ash two inches thick, 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. These damn gentlemen! "
Wu Siyu on the side listened to Jiuzang's translation for him and nodded slowly. He admired in his heart: "Okay! The grievance campaign proposed by Mr. Zhao has a pretty good start."
