When the Thor passed by Ishinomaki Port again, it stayed for two days.
Because it only takes two days to get from Edo Castle to Aoba Castle, the big bosses of the Date family who had already learned that Edo was bombarded did not dare to let out another fart, and honestly took away the people Zhao Xin wanted. They were all delivered, and there were fifty more.
In addition to the 600 warriors - that is, lower-level samurai - who were assembled from the first family, the first family, the quasi family, the first family and other families, the five members of Zhuang Bingwei's family mentioned by Zhao Xin were also brought.
People were sent over, but none of them wanted to leave the feudal clan. The Sendai clan had to retain the official positions and salaries of these people, and their wives and children had to stay in the clan.
In these days, no samurai would leave the samurai of the first class of scholars, peasants, industrialists, and merchants alone unless they were driven mad. Even that small amount of salary would not be enough to support their families.
Because samurai have the privilege of defaulting on debts!
It doesn't matter, Zhao Xin estimates that after these people arrive in Beihai Town and stay for a few months, two-thirds of them will leave the feudal clan and become naturalized, and then even their wives and children will have to be taken away.
There is no harm without comparison!
It is said that Zhao Xin wants to tie the Sendai Clan into the chariot of Beihai Town by forming the Qingye Camp, and these "little big names" of the Sendai Clan also have their own Xiao Jiujiu.
Because of the Edo bombardment, the Tokugawa family already hated the Sendai clan to death. Now let’s talk about the most hated daimyo of the Tokugawa clan, the Sendai clan ranks first, the Owari clan ranks second, and the Hagi clan ranks third.
The Owari family is running for the position of shogun, which is an internal conflict; the Hagi clan is implicated in the shogunate's compensation, and this can allow the Mori family to spit out their capital and profits; as for the Sendai clan, the Tokugawa clan and the shogunate all In the eyes of the elders, he has become a traitor and a disaster.
...
Date Shigemura: "I swear in the name of my descendants that I will defend the Tokugawa family to the death!"
Tokugawa Ieki and Tokugawa Haruji, their father and son, and a group of shogunate bosses all said in unison: "Bah! You will never return to Aoba Castle again in this life, unless you retire and give up your throne!"
Date Shigemura: "I don't!"
Well, it's all an illusion...
At the same time, Ishikawa Cunwen and the elders of the family were really scared this time. Although the shogunate pinched its nose and promised not to punish the Sendai Domain, if the Tokugawa family really wanted to do something, such as poisoning Date Shigemura's snacks after the news passed, the entire Sendai Domain would have no choice but to admit defeat. .
Therefore, the elders of the Sendai clan were heartbroken and decided to embrace Beihai Town's thigh. Didn't Zhao Dian say he wanted five hundred and fifty people? I'll send you six hundred first. If the effect is good, I'll double it next year.
If Zhao Dian becomes the emperor of the Central Plains in the future, the Sendai clan will ask the emperor to reward him with several sets of Dabieye in Mingzhou (Ningbo). We will also enjoy the unfinished dream of His Highness Taige.
The lower-level warriors who were sent here all seemed to be in good spirits, but upon closer inspection, they were definitely undernourished. He has high cheekbones and sunken eye sockets, and he is dangling in Wufu and haori. As for swords and wakizashi, you are not allowed to bring them on board the ship!
Seeing how sensible the Sendai clan was, Zhao Xin took out thirty "Type 84" revolvers and gave them to Shibata Kakuzo. In addition to paper-wrapped lead bullets, each gun is equipped with fifty flash caps.
After sending two people to the side of the ship to teach Shibata Kakuzo and others how to load and shoot, Zhao Xin walked up to Shoubei's family with a smile.
The confused Shobei family looked at the tall young man in front of them, their knees weakened, and they knelt on the deck.
Ever since several wolf-like officials brought the whole family from Hitachi to Ishinomaki Port, the Shobei family has fallen into great fear. Now that they were being taken to this huge white ship by the people from the Ishinomaki Sanctuary, the Shobei family was even more panicked.
"What is this child's name?" Zhao Xin bent down and looked at Zhuang Bingwei's son and asked.
"Sir, this is the villain's son, Lun Zong."
Six-year-old Lun Zong looked up curiously at Zhao Xin in front of him, thinking that this man is so tall!
Zhao Xin looked at Lun Zong with a smile and asked Zhuang Bingwei: "Is this the only child you have?"
"Yes, this is the only child in my family." Zhuang Bingwei and his wife had been married for many years, and it was not easy to have a child like Lun Zong. The whole family regarded it as a treasure.
Zhao Xinxin said he didn’t run away! This child would become the famous explorer in history - Mamiya Linzo.
Historically, Mamiya Linzo was proficient in mathematics, geography, surveying and mapping, and had good calligraphy and painting skills. He participated in many civil engineering projects and was relatively proficient in drawing, surveying and other technologies.
This person's greatest achievement was to write a book "Journey to Eastern Tartar", in which he described the customs and customs of Kuye Island and the upper reaches of Heilongjiang based on his personal experience, and also recorded the Manchu and Qing Dynasty's Wulin appreciation. As the earliest island country book to describe the geography of the Northeast in detail, this book played a considerable guiding role in the formulation of future island country governments' policies to invade and expand the Northeast.
However, there are two sides to the matter. This book also proves that the outer northeastern areas such as Kuye Island have been the territory of China since ancient times. The proof is ironclad!
Zhao Xin looked at Mamiya Linzang, who was only six years old at this time and was still biting his fingers, and was filled with emotions.
how to say? At this time, the population of the island country was only more than 20 million, which was not a fraction of the Manchu Qing's population of hundreds of millions. However, from the end of the 18th century to the first half of the 19th century, due to the rise of Orchidology, various figures who studied advanced Western technology emerged in an endless stream, laying many theoretical foundations for the future development of the Meiji government.
And what about the Manchu scholars at this time? They regard the imperial examination as the right path, regard Western science and technology as barbarian techniques, and look down upon them. Except for the Mei family in Xuancheng, the Wang family in Wujiang, and Li Rui in Suzhou, there are no more scientific and technological talents. Apart from publishing a few books, most of the contributions of these people were spent on helping Shangguan settle accounts, or going to Qintian Prison to work on the calendar.
It takes almost hundreds of years for a character like Wang Zhenyi to appear, but just because she is a woman, she has no place to play.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xin couldn't help but lament in his heart: "Oh, what the old man Lin Ziping said makes sense. No matter how Yi Di changes his face, it cannot be orthodox."
In order to establish their own orthodoxy, the Manchu Qing Dynasty vigorously promoted Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, established a literary prison, and imprisoned thoughts. They really deserved to be beaten.
However, because of the decadence of the Manchus, the cultural thought that dominated the East Asian cultural circle was eventually implicated as a symbol of decadence and decline, and even the children were thrown into the dirt.
Zhao Xin rubbed Lun Zong's little head and asked kindly to Zhuang Bingwei's family: "How has Hitachi's harvest been in the past two years?"
When Zhuang Bingwei saw Zhao Xin speaking kindly, he couldn't help but feel relieved a little, and carefully replied: "It's Shanbei (freeze disaster) again this year, and a lot of rice froze to death before it was harvested. Many people planted some buckwheat at home. , after all, it’s just a hard life.”
Zhao Xin nodded and said: "Come with me. There is no need to worry about food in Beihai Town. After naturalization, each family will still have fifty acres of land, and no rent will be charged in the first few years. I will let your Lunzong go to school. The child looks smart and will become a great person in the future.”
Zhuang Bingwei heard that this was a good thing, but after all, he had to leave his hometown. Who knew whether it would be the same as Zhao Xin said when he arrived in Beihai?
While he was hesitating, Shibata Kakuzo, who had seen how to load the revolver, came over and said sternly to Zhuang Bingwei: "You don't know what's going on! Your Highness, King Zhao, personally expressed your kindness, why don't you thank me quickly!"
The samurai master came forward, and he was also a high-ranking official of the Sendai clan. The Shobei family did not dare to argue anymore, and quickly kowtowed to thank him.
When Shobei's family was taken down for resettlement, Shibata Kakuzo invited Zhao Xin aside and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the shogunate is now eyeing my family and they wish they could cut off the seal and punish them severely. Fortunately, Your Highness took care of me, so I hid." I have passed this tribulation. The gentlemen of this family have asked me to express my gratitude to His Highness. I will definitely obey your orders in the future. This is the gift list. Please take a look at it."
Zhao Xin took it and opened it. In addition to many dried seafood, lacquerware, and Japanese paper, there were actually thirty craftsmen and twenty maids.
I guess this is a honey trap. By the way, are there beautiful women in Sendai? It seems that there is nothing famous in later generations except "Ai Jiang" who is famous for playing table tennis.
When Zhao Xin saw the twenty maids under the guidance of Shibata Kakuzo, he couldn't help but be disappointed.
Zhao Xinxin said this is also called a beauty? Each one of them is only 1.5 meters tall, and they look like primary school students, not even as good as our little A Miao! The rouge and gouache on the face is so thick that it is almost like a wall, and it may collapse if there is too much movement.
Zhao Xin said to Shibata Kakuzo: "I accept the craftsmen and gifts. Forget about these women. You can take them back."
As soon as these words came out, the twenty maids suddenly looked pale and bowed their heads in silence.
Shibata Kakuzo said quickly: "Your Highness, these women are carefully selected by the adults of this family from their own families. They have already filled out the deregistration documents. If Your Highness does not want them, they will have nowhere to go. Please have mercy on Your Highness."
Forget it, we have taken so many people away, not even twenty more. Take it back and let Wan Zao's wife arrange it. Zhao Xin doesn't want any of them anyway; all the "efforts" of the Sendai clan are really going to be in vain this time.
One day after leaving Ishinomaki Port, the Thor arrived at the last stop on its return journey, Otaru in Ezo.
This time Zhao Xin finally agreed to take Shengshan Densan to Beihai Town, which made Boss Shengshan overjoyed. After spending a day arranging the affairs of the mine, he took more than twenty of his subordinates and sailors on board a Benzai ship, and followed the Thor in a hurry.
When the ship returned to Beihai Town, the islanders on the deck saw the Thunderbolt parked in the dock at a glance. Oops! Seeing the Thunder, which was twice as long as the Thor, all the new islanders were frightened.
Lin Ziping stared at the Thunder with wide eyes, and asked Zhao Xin who was standing aside: "Your Highness, does this big ship also use a steam turbine like the Thor?"
Under strong curiosity and Zhao Xin's constant temptation, Lin Ziping finally gritted his teeth and decided to naturalize in Beihai Town when the Thor arrived in Ezo Land; while his student Sato Shinbuchi was still hesitant.
Now that he had taken the oath of naturalization and filled out his identity resume, Zhao Xin naturally allowed Lin Ziping to visit the engine room. As a result, the old man was shocked as soon as he entered. He stood at the door and was speechless for a long time. Everything here was beyond his imagination.
Although the temperature in the engine room was very high, the noise was extremely loud, and he would get soaked after staying there for a while, Lin Ziping still stayed there for a whole day, pulling the engineer to ask questions. Now the engineer was really annoyed, thinking that I am so busy that you, an old man, are still asking questions.
What is a steam turbine? What is diesel? What is lubricating oil?
oops! If I could explain this clearly, I would have been the Chief Supervisor long ago, who would still be working so hard here!
It is said that these twenty mechanics in Beihai Town are all students brought out by Deng Fei. In order to teach these people, Deng Fei has been very talkative in the past two years, demonstrating every step of the process step by step.
Because these sailors had no foundation at all, Deng Fei could only ask them to memorize every step of the operation procedure. Don’t ask why yet, it just has to be done! If you make a mistake, you'll get kicked in the face without explanation!
After everyone was kicked at least dozens of times by Deng Fei, they were finally able to take up their posts. However, if there is a turbine failure, these people still cannot handle it.
In addition to the Thunderbolt moored at the port, the three-masted sailboats under repair in the two dry docks are still undergoing intensive construction. According to the transformation plan, these two British sailing ships captured from the Tsarist Russians will be installed into two 180-horsepower diesel engines. One will be reserved as a teaching ship for the navigation school, and the other will be responsible for sailing from Beihai Town to Ezo. Short-distance transportation to mainland China or Jeju Island.
In addition to repairing the damage and dismantling the bottom gun decks of the two sailboats, the copper covering the bows of the ships also had to be removed to increase the scope of the copper covering. The purpose of this is to prevent organisms like barnacles from attaching.
In addition, the navigation school is also preparing to build another motor sailboat using these two British three-masted sailboats as a reference, and then an iron ship will be built.
When she saw Zhao Xin stepping off the boat, A Miao, who was waiting on the shore, ran up to the pier excitedly, jumped into Zhao Xin's arms, and hugged Zhao Xin's waist tightly.
Well, it's only been a month since we last met, and little A Miao seems to have grown taller again... Zhao Xin rubbed A Miao's head, and then saw Shen Xuan with a playful expression on her face.
"Child, A Miao is still a child..." Zhao Xin looked at Shen Xuan, and that was what his eyes conveyed.
Humph~ Shen Xuan pursed her lips, which clearly meant "It would be strange to believe you"!
The people in the civil affairs department are responsible for the resettlement of these newly arrived islanders of all kinds. Everyone must register, take photos, and produce temporary IDs, and then change to official IDs after living for six months. In addition, you also have to arrange accommodation, receive daily necessities, receive meal cards, etc., etc., etc., and it will take a few days to complete.
There isn't much else in Beihai Town right now, but there are a lot of houses. There is a construction team under the Ministry of Civil Affairs specifically responsible for building wooden ridges. In the past few months, more than 200 empty houses have been built. The beds and simple living furniture are all ready-made. Once the residents turn on the stove, they will quickly become warm.
The 550 warriors of the Sendai Domain were arranged into dormitories, waiting to be received by the army, and then taken to the training camp on the east coast; the 20 maids were all handed over to Wan Zao by Zhao Xin My wife was responsible for the arrangements; the man who was rescued from the water was sent directly to the hospital because he was still unconscious.
Katsuyama Denzan When the group stepped off the gangplank, they couldn't even move their legs. He had always wanted to visit Beihai Town, but everything in front of him was so bizarre and unfamiliar.
"Boss Shengshan, you go and register first, and then someone will take you to your residence."
"Ah! Yes, Your Highness. You are busy first, first." Katsuyama Denzo saw the two beauties, one big and one small, beside Zhao Xin. He couldn't help but be so shocked that he couldn't even speak.
After Zhao Xin got tired of Shen Xuan for a while, he asked her to go back to school first, and he would go to Shen Jingdan's place for dinner in the evening. When he returned to his office in the town square with his follower A Miao, he saw Zhang Bo who had withdrawn from Bitter Leaf Island.
Half a year later, Zhang Bo lost a lot of weight, and he looked tired at first glance.
But when this guy saw Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin was shocked by his first words.
"Mr. Zhao, I want to find a wife."
