Speaking of which, while Zhao Xin and the others were still negotiating with Na Qitai, the management of Qing prisoners of war gave Liu Sheng a headache.
Beihai Town was devastated in this counterattack, and the elite Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners troops of the Qing Army fled for their lives in a hurry. It can be said that they were so arrogant! However, God is not as good as God. Neither Zhao Xin nor Liu Sheng expected that the biggest difficulty since the war began was not transportation and supplies, but so many prisoners. How to deal with and manage them is simply more difficult than fighting!
Needless to say, the daily consumption of food alone is more than seven tons. In addition, these Qing troops had to be given some vitamin C supplements every week, otherwise an outbreak of scurvy would be enough. But the problem is that Beihai Town itself is short of vegetables. In winter, the only vegetables are radishes and potatoes. So Director Liu Da suggested that each prisoner camp be given some mung beans and soybeans, and send someone to teach the prisoners to sprout their own bean sprouts to eat.
The problem of food is basically solved, all that's left is to get dressed. The uniforms of some prisoners of the Qing army were in tatters, so winter cotton-padded clothes and blankets were transferred from the warehouse in Fuldan City to keep the prisoners warm from the cold.
The above two humanitarian measures surprised many Qing prisoners, and many people were grateful to Beihai Town.
In fact, Zhao Xin's thinking is very simple. These people will all be compatriots of the same country from now on, and there is no need to cause such bitterness and hatred. Regardless of whether they are Manchu or Mongolian, they will eventually become a Chinese nation.
After arrangements were made for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these prisoners of war, new troubles came again! The guards guarding the prisoners came to Liu Sheng for help every now and then! The reason is fighting.
The reasons why these Qing prisoners of war fought were basically due to defeat. The officers and soldiers of the Han Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners blamed the defeat on the barbarian retreating soldiers composed of border residents, saying that they ran away as soon as they saw Beihai Town firing artillery. They were all cowards!
The more arrogant Man Baqi often accuses everyone else arrogantly, which is a bit like Senior Brother Duan Shui Shui, "Stop the fucking quarrel!" You are all fucking cowards!
Now it's better. At first, the Han Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners united to fight with the border residents; later, the Manchu Eight Banners singled out everyone. After cursing and cursing, everyone suddenly woke up, so the Manchu, Han and Mongolian Eight Banners began to beat the border residents in groups!
Oh my god, Liu Sheng has done nothing else from morning to night these days. All he does is deal with fights and disputes. At the same time, a group of guards were very anxious, because Zhao Xin had strictly ordered not to shoot prisoners casually. Even if you want to be in solitary confinement, you still have to have so many closed rooms...
In the end, in order to stop the fighting, Liu Sheng had to conduct a large-scale inspection of all prisoners of war, and separated them according to their respective flag camps!
Do you think this is the end? That’s weird! After eating and having nothing to do, the prisoners of war continued to curse each other across the fence and barbed wire. They said that they were full of tricks and never used the same thing every day. From the eighth generation of ancestors to Xia Sanlu, from the Ming Dynasty before entering the pass to the current "prosperity".
The soldiers responsible for guarding the prisoners were all refugees from the island country. They just spoke Mandarin fluently, but they had not yet learned to curse. Everyone was dumbfounded and fascinated. Everyone was discussing in private that Chinese culture is really unfathomable. I can understand every word, but I have no idea what it means when connected.
It wasn't until Zhang Bo overheard it when he brought someone to install an ore phone at the guard post that he told Liu Sheng. Liu Sheng was so angry that he ordered that if any prisoner from the battalion went out to curse others, his rations would be deducted for one day.
But then the prisoners of the Qing army also said when they begged for mercy, uncle, it’s not that we want to curse, we really have nothing to do!
Liu Sheng was so angry that he couldn't help but Zhang Bo gave him an idea.
"What?! Set up a loudspeaker? You live and eat every day and do nothing, but you still want to listen to operas and storytelling for them? Grandma!"
"Don't worry! I heard you say before that when this prison camp is vacated in the spring, won't it have to be used as a residence for the refugees in Henan? Zhao Xin said several times that there are not enough cadres, so I thought, since If we can’t keep up with the manpower, why not set up a radio station? Then what policies we have will be communicated through radio! Besides, don’t we have to dig trenches to build transmission lines? It just allows them to move around, and saves energy. vent."
Liu Sheng thought about it and realized that this was very reasonable. No matter whether there are dramas and storytelling in the future, it is true that we don’t let these people idle for now! Thinking of this, he said to Zhang Bo: "Do you understand this?"
"Understood!" Zhang Bo patted his chest and said, "I used to help dress up the small broadcasters in the village."
"Then you make a plan first. I will give you a warrant. You can requisition whatever you need from the warehouse. Start working first. When Zhao Xin comes back, ask him for anything you need."
Speaking of rural radio in another time and space, the tweeters hung on telephone poles mainly used 25W tweeters and 50W tweeters. In terms of sound transmission distance, the sound transmission distance of 25W speakers is 300~400 meters, and the sound transmission distance of 50W speakers is 500~600 meters.
Zhang Bo took the order signed by Liu Sheng and went to the warehouse to dig through it. Finally, he found ten silver-gray tweeters, all of which were 25W. Zhao Xin originally bought this because he wanted to broadcast broadcasts on the battlefield and disrupt the morale of the Qing army. As a result, I forgot about it as soon as I got busy. In addition, a set of wireless broadcasting equipment stacked in the corner also made Zhang Bo's eyes shine.
Originally, Zhang Bo was going to be the top leader of Beihai Oil Company this year and was going to do something big. Who would have thought that the plan would be ruined this year due to the Qing army's attack. The oil dream is out of the question for the time being, so let’s make do as the head of a radio station.
Speaking of wireless broadcasting system equipment in another time and space, it is generally divided into three major parts: the transmitter, the receiver, and the tweeter.
Install the transmitter host in the studio, connect the antenna to the transmitter host, and stand it on a high place (such as the roof). The receiving end is a wireless receiver, whose main responsibility is to receive wireless audio signals; the large speaker is connected in parallel with the receiver and is responsible for amplifying the sound. If the conditions are good, there are also wireless wall-mounted sound columns and small speakers for every household. But we have to wait until later to talk about this. The current playback equipment is a tweeter, so let’s make do with it for now.
So two days later, two hundred meters away from the south side of the prisoner camp, a wood-carved house with a construction area of 80 square meters began to be built; at the same time, a 30-square-meter guardhouse was built.
The transmission line must be connected from the generator room in Jurgen City. Considering the strong winds here in winter, in order to ensure the safety of the transmission line, underground lines are used.
The biggest project in the entire radio station construction is laying underground wires. According to the technical requirements of power supply construction, underground wires must be buried under the frozen soil layer, and the depth of the frozen soil layer in the entire Sanjiang Plain is more than 2 meters.
Considering that the amount of work required to dig a deep trench several miles away was too large, Zhang Bo adopted a simple method to halve the amount of work, that is, dig a trench five meters long, 1.5 meters wide, and 2.5 meters deep every ten meters away. pit. A total of more than 400 such pits had to be dug from Jurgen City to the broadcasting station.
At this time, Liu Sheng waved his hand and ordered all Qing prisoners except for the injured camp to work in the camp in turns according to the camp area. Why don't you have nothing to do? Don't you just curse and vent all day long? bring it on!
For the entire underground cable trenching project, the first step is to clear away the snow according to the planned route, and then to find a large number of branches and dry firewood, and light a fire at the location where the trench will be dug to bake the ground. When the ground is almost toasted, remove the charcoal and start digging trenches. When the iron pickaxe cannot dig out, continue to bake it with fire.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, trenches were dug in the frozen soil, which made the prisoners of the Qing army really complain. The soldiers from Beihai Town who were responsible for escorting and guarding did not tell the prisoners what they were doing, so all the prisoners thought that Beihai Town was deliberately trying to torment them, and they were secretly cursing them secretly.
Those soldiers at the bottom can still endure hardship, but those generals who have been pampered for many years are in serious trouble. Not to mention others, General Enhai, the "champion of scolding" with a white flag, had blisters on his hands on the first day of work, and the back of his hands were cracked by the biting cold wind. After returning to the underground cellar, the pain was so severe that he did not even dare to wash his hands.
This time, no one was free to exchange insults across the wall. After finishing work every day, a group of prisoners of the Qing army ate a hurried dinner and then fell asleep. They were so tired that they were still talking and digging ditches in their dreams.
When they went out to work in this kind of weather, no one tried to escape even though they were holding steel picks and shovels issued by Beihai Town. Besides, where are you going? ! When the white-haired wind blows in the wilderness, you will get lost even if you run a mile away, and you will not be able to survive even a day.
After working for seven or eight days, nearly 500 deep trenches were finally dug. At this time, Zhang Bo found hundreds of three-meter-long steel pipes. First, he cut one end of some steel pipes into a wolf tooth shape with a frosted saw. Then at the lower end of the trench, drive the steel pipe in the direction of the next trench while keeping it parallel to the ground.
So the tools in the hands of the prisoners were replaced with hammers. While tapping one end of the steel pipe, they rotated the steel pipe, drove in one piece, and then replaced it with the next one. In this way, the two trenches were penetrated, and then all the steel pipes were taken out. .
Next, pass the red PVC wiring pipe segments through the holes, then pass the wires through them, seal the connection parts of the wiring pipes, and the underground wires are laid. The next step is to backfill the earth and mark it along the ground.
After a group of Qing prisoners cursed Beihai Town for torturing people, but under the pressure of the gun, they honestly backfilled all the earthwork, Zhao Xin and Wang Yuanfang led the team back.
After hearing Zhang Bo's radio station plan, Zhao Xin fully agreed and asked Zhang Bo to continue his efforts. As for Zhao Xin himself, he still has to keep busy in order to continue to divert food to feed everyone. For the coming gold, Zhao Xin gritted his teeth and endured it!
When the transmission line was energized and confirmed to be running well, the radio station's 3-5 km wireless FM transmitter was connected to the transmission line through a three-phase transformer (400V to 220V.)
Installation of the antenna and transmitter is relatively easy. Zhang Bo first welded a fifteen-meter-high triangular iron frame out of steel pipes and buried the iron frame in a three-meter deep pit outside the broadcasting station. Then he fixed the antenna and transmitter on the top of the frame, and then fixed the black coaxial cable on the antenna. The cable is connected to the transmitter.
After the project was completed to this extent, almost all the prisoners of the Qing army understood that Beihai Town was not torturing them, but had a deeper meaning. During the entire project, Beihai Town used a large number of iron tools and various metal materials, which amazed all the Qing prisoners.
The last task of the prisoners was to dig a hole half a foot in diameter and five feet deep in the center of each of the twenty-one camps. After the hole was dug, Zhang Bo began to lead people to install the tweeter. First, a log eight or nine meters high was erected, and then a receiver and two back-to-back tweeters were installed on the top of the log and connected through cables. The power cord is taken out from the broadcasting station, passes through the conduit laid on the ground, and goes straight to the top of the log along the log.
When all the equipment was powered on and after checking that there were no problems with the power supply everywhere, Zhang Bo excitedly turned on the switch of the transmitter. A "beep" sound came from the power-on sound, and the ammeter pointer on the transmitter pointed between 3 and 4.
"Hmm~ um~" Zhang Bo held the microphone in front of him, imitated the tone of voice of the village party secretary, and started the first rural radio broadcast in the 18th century.
In the Qing prisoner camp, tens of thousands of prisoners who had just finished lunch were startled when they suddenly heard a "sizzling" sound coming from outside the door. Many of the prisoners were already a little nervous because of the trenching project they had done in the past few days. They had been tortured by Beihai Town. So many people hurriedly put on their coats and prepared to go out to find the source of the sound.
As a result, as soon as they walked outside, they heard a man's voice coming from the air: "Hey, hey! Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Hey, hey?"
"Oh my God! Is this a manifestation of a deity?"
Not to mention the prisoners, even the Beihai Town soldiers responsible for guarding were looking around, trying to find who was speaking just now.
"No! That's where the sound came from!" In the No. 5 prisoner camp, the Buddha with a white flag pointed at the two large loudspeakers on the top of the log pillar in the open space and shouted.
"Ah?! This... this is sorcery!"
There was an uproar in the prisoner camp at this time, but at the radio station, Zhang Bo got more excited and started talking non-stop:
"Hey, ladies and gentlemen, I am the director of the Beihai Town Radio Station. I want to talk about two things about radio. The first one is that the first set of radio in Beihai Town is launched today! Thank you all for your hard work these days. ! Those guys who like to curse, let me tell you, if I see you getting involved in someone (swearing) and making nonsense again, I will tear you apart!
One more thing, starting from noon today, we will broadcast one hour, oh no, half an hour of drama storytelling every noon on Heijia. This opera is mainly based on Peking Opera, supplemented by Shandong Allegro; as for storytelling, it is either Three Kingdoms or Water Margin..."
Zhang Bo was speaking enthusiastically when the door of the room was pushed open with a bang. Liu Sheng stared and cursed: "What the hell are you talking about? Shut it down!"
Along with the noise of electricity, the sound coming from more than twenty loudspeakers suddenly stopped. The tens of thousands of Qing army prisoners present looked at the two loudspeakers in the camp and were stunned!
There are many factors that affect the sound transmission distance of tweeters, which also need to be paid attention to during installation. For example: the installation height should exceed the average height of surrounding houses, the trumpet mouth should be tilted downward during installation, and rain and snow will affect the sound transmission distance. Sound transmission distance, try to install two speakers on one pole back to back, wide sound coverage, etc.
While the Qing government was busy but quietly handling the redemption process, there were some strange things happening in the prisoner camp north of Jurgen City in recent days.
