In the early and mid-Qing Dynasty, due to the strong national power, a large amount of silver flowed into the country. Affected by the traditional concept of "mining for energy", the Qing government was not enthusiastic about gold mining, and many areas in the north even banned gold mining. After arriving in Yiwu, as the compensation for land cessation intensified, the Qing government urgently needed to develop new financial resources, and then gradually relaxed the policy.
Ten thousand taels of gold is just a drop in the bucket to people like Zhao Xin or He Shen, but to most people it is an astronomical figure. Although it is said that "the poor in literature and the rich in martial arts", the families who practice martial arts are all small and wealthy, but no one will be tempted by such a large sum of money.
Another most critical thing is that Beihai Zhen is located far away from the northeast. In recent years, it has been busy working on its internal strength, and its connection with the inside of the pass is not close.
Even if there are countless people alive in Beihai Town and the refugees are rescued from the sea of misery, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties block information, and "breaking into the Guandong" in this era is only a minority behavior, so the only channel for information about the martial arts people in the Guan is the government, and it cannot be arranged arbitrarily by the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. .
When the waiters at the restaurant came to eat, Chai Rugui and the others were busy eating and drinking. Unexpectedly, Gao Liugeng had just eaten two steamed buns. He accidentally looked up and saw a strong old man in his fifties and a young woman through the window. He and a young strong man walked towards the restaurant.
Gao Liugeng looked surprised and couldn't help blurting out: "Mr. Wu?"
The old man was none other than Wu Zhong, the master of Cangzhou Bajiquan who was known as "Wu Zhong, the master of Cangzhou Bajiquan from Nanjing to Yanjing."
Although Gao Liugeng has practiced martial arts under Chang Nai Zhou for many years, what he is best at is still using guns. Speaking of his shooting skills, there is an interesting story from the past.
It is said that Chang's marksmanship originated from Zhang Ba in the Bishui Tiger Prison, and Gao Liugeng was the most skilled among his fellow disciples, and he gradually became proud of him. One day, Gao Liugeng was practicing marksmanship for his brothers. It happened that Chang Naizhou's daughter was passing by and stopped to watch. After finishing the marksmanship, he said: "Although the marksmanship is wonderful, there are flaws that can be broken."
Gao Liugeng was dissatisfied and said, "Then you give it a try."
After saying that, he started to use it again. It was really like a line, sweeping up a large area. The onlookers all clapped and applauded, making Gao Liugeng even more proud. Unexpectedly, Chang Naizhou's daughter, who was watching with cold eyes, suddenly stepped closer, broke through the shadow of a gun, and clasped the bamboo basket in her hand on Gao Liugeng's head. Then he stepped back and stood still, as if he hadn't moved.
The bystanders present were all stunned. Only then did Gao Liugeng realize that his abilities were far behind. After that, he studied and practiced even more diligently. Later, in order to improve his marksmanship to a higher level, Gao Liugeng even went to Cangzhou to seek advice from Wu Zhong, which can be said to be half a teacher's favor.
After hearing Gao Liugeng's words, Chai Rugui and Li Wenqing were both shocked. The three of them quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks and quickly came out to salute Wu Zhong. After everyone returned to the hotel and sat down to chat, they learned that Wu Zhong was also entrusted by someone to take his daughter Wu Rong and his eldest disciple to Xuzhuang in Sheyang Lake. And it wasn't just him. Among the famous martial arts masters in the north, three masters, Kang Dali, Liu Sanshan, and Li Zhang, also came with their apprentices. Wu Zhong came to Funing County precisely to meet up with Kang, Liu, Li and the people sent by the imperial court.
As for Dai Longbang and Dai Wenliang, father and son of Dai Shi Xinyi Quan in Shanxi, they have been entrusted by the court and have taken people to Kulun, saying they are going to Kyaktu.
When Chai Rugui and the others heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked. This movement is too big! I bet the imperial court scanned all the famous martial arts masters in the north.
In fact, this time the Manchu Qing Dynasty secretly recruited various martial arts people to go to Beihai Town to cause trouble. Not only He Shen, but also Liu Yong, Wang Jie, Dong Gao and others also contributed. It was a rare cooperation between the corrupt faction and the Qing faction. A handful.
Although most people could not afford to offend Heshen and could hide away from him, the reputations of Liu Yong, Wang Jie and Dong Gao were too great. As soon as these three came forward to invite him, the entire martial arts world became agitated.
As the spies at Sticky Branch continued to send back scattered information, now almost everyone from Qianlong to Qingliu could see clearly that Beihai Town was different from all other major enemies since the founding of the Qing Dynasty; Zhao Xin not only wanted to dig up the roots of Manchu rule, but also the roots of Taoism.
If this is like other rebellions in the past dynasties, overthrowing one dynasty and replacing it with a new dynasty would be fine. As long as the orthodoxy remains, it will ultimately be a "cycle of five virtues." But if we dig up the roots of orthodoxy, we will become the enemy of scholars all over the world. Either you die or I die.
The problem is that Zhao Xin is still unaware of all this. He has been stationed in Jurgen City since April. First, he mobilized troops from various places to rotate. After the training of the new recruits of the two regiments in Beihai Town is completed, he will start to deal with the Hunchun Camp. of the Qing army.
The purpose of capturing Hunchun was to face the Li Dynasty directly. From the Hunchun River to the south, you can enter the Gahali River (Gaya River), which is the largest tributary of the Tumen River. If you go south along the Tumen River, you can directly reach the Maoshan City at the southern foot of the river source, which will be famous in the world for its treasures. Mushan magnetite with a total volume of 5 billion tons is located there.
Now that Beihai Town is building a railway and vigorously developing military and heavy equipment, the demand for high-grade iron ore has become increasingly urgent. Although everyone who travels through time knows that there are a lot of high-grade iron ore in the southern hemisphere, the distance is far away, and Zhao Xin has no plans to take action with the British or the Dutch for the time being.
Even if the tentacles of Beihai Town extend southward, the first thing to be solved is Spain and the Netherlands entrenched in Southeast Asia. Compared with Tsarist Russia that invaded the Northeast, the Dutch were ranked second on Zhao Xin's "punishment list". Not to mention the "Hongxi Massacre" more than 40 years ago, the blood of tens of thousands of Chinese people must not be shed in vain.
However, if the North Navy wants to go south, it must first consolidate the entire Northeast Asia.
Among the four groups of forces: Tsarist Russia, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Li Dynasty, and the island country, the island country has basically been suppressed by Beihai Town and will soon become a stable labor export destination for Beihai Town.
The Li Dynasty was in dire straits. As long as the Northern Navy troops arrived at the Tumen River, it would be easy to recapture the southern foot of the river source. Regardless of whether they are Southerners or Westerners, old or young, they are all useless in the face of powerful force.
Tsarist Russia’s problems will certainly not be solved in a short time. Zhao Xin's plan is to use two or three years to build a Cossack regime in the West Siberian Plain. Let's not talk about whether it is a puppet or not. At least it can play a buffering role.
Finally, there is the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Zhao Xin's short-term goal is to not attack Jilin until Hunchun is resolved, but to wait until next year. After the southern defense line is stabilized, a second battlefield will be opened in the Jiaodong Plain, making it a pilot base for absorbing population and related land policies. After the Outer Northeast has been built into a strong industrial and agricultural base and a sufficient team of cadres has been trained, they will then march into the customs.
At the end of April 1789, in May of the 54th year of Qianlong's reign, Zhao Xin, who had arrived in Juergen City for two weeks, heard that Na Qitai's two children had been sent to the hospital in Fuldan City for treatment. After dinner, they were fine. It was possible, so I decided to go take a look.
Wu Xianhou is currently in charge of Fuldan City Hospital. He and his cousin Wu Xianning came at the end of the 49th year of Qianlong's reign. After bringing their family members from Jiangning last year, they were sent to Fuldan City.
Now the city of Fuldan has become a big construction site again. trenches are being dug or telegraph poles are being buried on every road. Even outside the hospital, there are trenches and bumps everywhere.
Since the spring of Gu Xi, the power department of Beihai Town has begun to lay transmission lines along the road leading to Fuldan City. At the same time, another team also set off to Heilongjiang City and Yaksa City to survey and select sites, preparing to build a new small thermal power plant in Heilongjiang City first.
There was an incident in Beihai Town where Yalha was attacked a few days ago, so now, whether it's Chen Qingsong or Shen Xuan, several time travelers have to be cleared by guards before going out, so that other people can avoid them and enjoy themselves properly. With the treatment of the chief.
Because Zhao Xin is different from others and can evade others at any time, he is not so conspicuous when he goes out and usually only brings four guards with him. He also didn't want to act like an emperor and be so far away from the common people; in Zhao Xin's heart, a group of people were very close to each other when they first arrived in Beihai Town, and the days when everyone was stirring the pot together in the cafeteria were the best. beautiful.
When a group of five people came in from the back door of the hospital, Wu Xianhou had been notified in advance and had been waiting here. Zhao Xin followed Wu Xianhou and turned left and right, and soon came to a small courtyard in the northwest corner of the hospital ward.
Zhao Xin stood at the door of the hospital and asked, "Both children are here? How are they recovering?"
Wu Xianhou whispered: "Yes. At first, Qitai's side room had to live with the child, and she was not worried when we told her that she was contagious. In the end, she still wore a mask to take care of the child. After five days of antibiotics, according to the Dean Hong said that the contagion should be gone, but for safety reasons, we still need to be quarantined for another five days."
After hearing this, Zhao Xin raised his legs and was about to walk into the yard. Wu Xianhou was startled and stopped him quickly: "Sir, this disease is contagious. Besides, the two children are all accompanied by the female relatives of the Qitai family. This... .....”
After hearing this, Zhao Xin shook his head slightly, thinking that he had almost forgotten about it. Beihai Town doesn't talk much about the defense of men and women, but the Qitai family must care about this. It's not appropriate to go in by yourself. As for contagious diseases, he is not afraid of them. Most of the people who travel through time have been vaccinated and are immune to infectious diseases such as whooping cough, diphtheria, cholera, and tetanus.
Wu Xianhou said: "Sir, please wait a moment. I'll go in first and say something."
Zhao Xin thought for a moment and said, "I'm just curious to see the child, so don't tell me it's me. Then, find me a white coat and a mouthpiece. I'll just go in with you in a while."
More than twenty minutes later, Zhao Xin, dressed up, followed Wu Xianhou into the house and finally saw Na Qitai's side room and two children. The adult in the side room was also wearing a mask, but just looking at the pair of pink and phoenix eyes, he still looked pretty. It's just that I have dark circles under my eyes because I couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep after taking care of my children for days. With her was a middle-aged woman in her forties. Zhao Xin knew that this was the nun of Na Qitai's family, who usually took care of her daughter.
The two children have no fever now, but they still cough a few times from time to time. The problem is that whooping cough has a long course and slow recovery, and it is not possible to fully recover in three to five days.
After Wu Xianhou checked the child under the respectful eyes of the two women, Qitai's side room asked softly: "Mr. Wu, when can we be discharged from the hospital?"
Wu Xianhou frowned and said, "What? Do you want to go back?"
"Yes. We have been out for almost ten days. If we don't go back, my master will be in trouble."
Wu Xianhou turned around and looked at Zhao Xin. When he saw the other party nodded his head inconspicuously, he said: "Okay, you can go back if you want. You can leave the day after tomorrow, but I still have to give you two instructions... .”
Zhao Xin actually likes children. In the past, he would tease the children of refugees from the island country. Now that I see Qitai's son with a tiger-like head and a big head, I always want to stretch out my hand and "ravage" him. After the nurse finished injecting the child, she squatted down to tease him. Because he had just received an injection in his butt, the little guy was filled with tears and pouted as if he was about to cry.
At this time, Zhao Xin remembered the nursery rhymes he heard the old man read in the alley when he was a child, so he coaxed: "Youyoucha, Babucha, weasel, don't be a weasel. Little brother, why are you crying?... .”
Qitai's son and daughter listened attentively to Zhao Xin's nursery rhymes, and soon started laughing. Zhao Xin ignored the surprised looks of Wu Xianhou and others beside him, teased the children for a while, then got up and left.
He took it as a pastime, but the two women in the room were stunned. Then they looked at Wu Xianhou and asked, "Is this...?"
Wu Xianhou shook his head and smiled "haha", and said to Qitai's side room: "To be honest, that person just now was King Zhao. He had dealt with your master many times. He heard that the child was sick, so he came here specially. have a look."
"Ah?!" The face of Qitai's side room suddenly turned pale, thinking that he and his children were together with the infamous "Zhao Xin" just now, and his legs were so frightened that they were weak. If it weren't for the support of the grandmother beside him, Almost collapsed to the ground.
A few days later, I took my children back to the side room on the south bank of the Mongolian River and told my brother Chang Wu what he had experienced these days. Chang Wu was immediately shocked. So it didn't take long for Na Qitai, who was sitting in the military camp, to know. The adult's face turned green when he heard about it, but Zhao Xin had saved his family anyway, so he had to endure it even if he didn't want to.
In mid-April, several reconnaissance teams from the Northern Navy began to take turns to scout out the Qing army's deployment from the south bank of the Mongolian River to Hunchun Camp. Since Serdan led the team north to Irkutsk, the reconnaissance team on the southern front was led by his son Erlu.
This newly established 30-member reconnaissance team was formed in the middle of last year. The main members are border soldiers selected from the remaining troops of the Northern Navy. Most of them are Hezhe people from Balke Village. They are led by Wang Yuanfang is personally responsible for the adjustment. After more than half a year of training, these Hezhe people, who were already good at fishing and hunting, put on camouflage uniforms and took compound bows, and they did not fall behind even against the Sauron soldiers of the Qing Dynasty.
For a time, from Hunchun to the Mongolian River, the small group of Qing troops who went out on patrol were miserable by the reconnaissance team. Eight of the small groups often died and two were lost. After going back and forth, the Qing troops who went out were at least a team of fifty people.
At this time, because Fukang'an was still on his way north, the person in charge of the temporary command in Hunchun was Guanbao, who had been promoted to the commander of the Zhengbai Banner Guards. Seeing that the Beihai Navy, which had been quiet for a year, suddenly made moves, Guan Baodun, a former prisoner, felt that the situation was not good.
A few days later, Na Qitai sent an urgent report, saying that several strange buzzing birds would fly over the heads of the Mongolian River Camp at random intervals, causing the Qing troops stationed there to make a noise all day long.
In late May of the 54th year of Qianlong's reign, the secret agents stationed in Fuldan City from the Sticking Branch fought hard and lost two spies, and finally sent a piece of information to the other side of the Mongolian River. Na Qitai was so frightened that his hands and feet were cold after reading it. He hurriedly sent someone to report to the Hunchun camp.
The content of this intelligence is that Zhao Ni's army has gathered on the south bank of the Suifen River and may send troops to the Mongolian River soon!
