In the early morning, at the beginning of the morning, residents living on both sides of Barhumen Street in the north of Jilin City were awakened by the rapid sound of horse hooves. Some residents put on their clothes and walked into the yard. They looked out through the crack in the door and saw a large group of Qing troops in bright uniforms passing quickly through the door.
"What's going on?" the old man muttered as he stood at the door of the courtyard. Just as he was feeling strange, he saw a red-edged and diagonally-pinned gold cloud python flag swaying through the crack in the door.
"Isn't this Commander Qing's flag? Why are you going there so early in the morning?"
This old man was also an armored man in his early years. It was not until he was in his fifties that his physical strength could no longer keep up, so his youngest son took over the job. Now the younger son has gone to Xiaobai Mountain to suppress the rebellion, and he doesn't know how the battle is going.
Shortly after Qinggui's troops left Jilin City, Jilin General Sa Bing'a, who was stationed at the Lafa River defense line, received an urgent military order. When he saw the messenger showing the token, he was sure that the letter was from the Grand Bachelor of Economics.
This Sa Bing'a came from Mongolia in the Xianghuang Banner and was born in the Borzigit gold family. Because of her noble blood and blood relationship with the famous Empress Xiaozhuangwen of the Kangxi Dynasty, she has always been highly regarded. He was the general of Hangzhou before and had fought in many battles such as Jinchuan and Jinchuan. After Mingliang's defeat, he was transferred by Qianlong to take over as the general of Jilin.
Sa Bing'a opened the letter and read it. In the letter, Qinggui ordered him to select 1,500 strong and powerful men in the army and select a general to lead them. Each man must be equipped with three long and short muskets, strange cannons, flying thunder, bows and arrows, Hatches and other items, and plenty of dry food and water. Someone will be sent to come with the command flag and token later, and they will be at his disposal...
"This..." Sa Bing'a was stunned for a moment after reading the letter. Next to him, Guole, the chief of the Zhengbai Banner Guard Army, said with a smile: "Military Gate, what happened?"
"The commander is coming."
"Oh? Is he here to supervise the battle?"
Sa Bing'a shook his head slightly, thinking that this Jun order was too strange. However, the letter was clearly stamped with the seal of the Grand Master of Economics. He didn't dare to neglect it, so he quickly ordered his men to make arrangements.
On the way to the Qing army camp in Lafa River, Qinggui on horseback specially talked with Zhunise for a while in order to leave time for preparations ahead. It was also through this conversation that he realized that a large part of the Beihai Town intelligence he had learned in the past two years was collected through the people lurking in Beihai Town at Sticky Post. The Ling guards forwarded it.
Zhu Nise told Qinggui that there were also manpower at the stick-stick department not only in Fuldan City, but also in Beihai Town. However, because the lurking time was still short, they could not enter the core of Beihai Town for a while.
Qinggui listened for a long time, and one of the places Zhunise mentioned caught his attention, and that was Beihai Town's large workshops on the east bank of the Xila River.
According to Zhunise, people who go to the east coast all have a red identity card, and it seems that the card alone is not used, and there are other means to verify the identity. Someone had tried to break through before, but was captured by the "black guards" in Beihai Town and never heard from again.
"Black Guard?"
"Oh, Beihai Town officially calls these people security police, but those ignorant thieves privately call them black guards."
Qinggui nodded. He had known about the security police in Beihai Town for a long time, but according to the tip report, they were just a group of government agents under Zhao Xin.
Seeing that the team had walked twenty miles, Zhu Nise pulled the reins of the horse, jumped off the horse and knelt on one knee in front of Qing Gui's horse and said: "Commander, time is urgent, I will leave first with a few of the guards."
Qinggui twitched his beard and nodded: "In this case, I won't keep you any longer. If this happens, you should be credited with the first merit, and I will definitely recommend it to the emperor."
"Thank you, Commander!" After saluting, Zhunise jumped on his horse, and under the protection of more than twenty imperial guards and more than two hundred armored soldiers, he galloped towards the Lafa River camp with two horses.
At this time, a man behind Qinggui, Gesheha, said: "Commander, do you want to change the sedan chair?"
Qinggui raised his hand and said, "No need. We must get to Lafa River Camp before dark."
Looking at the dust from the horse's hooves retreating in front of him, Qinggui couldn't help but remember that Heshen mentioned in the letter sent to him last month that the imperial court had recruited famous boxers from all over the country and was preparing to take a boat through Beihai Town's stronghold in northern Jiangsu. He went north in disguise in order to wait for an opportunity to attack Zhao Xin and the people around him.
A wry smile appeared on Qing Gui's face. He really disagreed with this approach. In the battles between the two armies since ancient times, assassins had never succeeded, let alone their families. It would be ridiculous if Zhao Xin could retreat and surrender because of this.
If those martial arts people could do some damage after going to Beihai Town and explore the secrets on the east bank of the Xila River, Qinggui would be happy to see it happen.
At the right time, Jilin General Sa Bing'a, who was stationed at the Lafa River Camp, finally saw a group of imperial guards holding orders and flags. When he saw that the leader was actually Bobin, the first-class bodyguard with the title of Vice-Capital of Jilin, he immediately understood how important what Qinggui told him was.
After Bobin and others jumped off their horses to greet Sa Bing'a, they cupped their hands and said: "Sa Junmen, please forgive me for being rude. The military situation is extremely urgent at the moment. Are the troops, horses and weapons ready?"
An aide in the tent raised his hand and said, "We have all the weapons, men, horses, and food and grass. Your Excellency can send someone to check."
Bobin first asked his guards to go out with Zhunise to check, and then asked Sa Bing Aping to withdraw from the crowd of people waiting in the tent, and then whispered to Sa Bing'a.
As a Jilin general, Sa Bing'a was responsible for commanding tens of thousands of troops at the Lafa River camp. Qinggui's plan to sneak attack Laoye Ridge and kill Zhao Xin could not be concealed from him.
Sa Bing'a's eyes widened as he listened. He knew that this trip by Bobin and his 1,500 elite soldiers might be extremely dangerous. However, if we can really capture the Beihai Army camp on Laoye Ridge and kill Zhao Xin, even if Beihai Town cannot be leveled, the offensive launched by the Beihai Navy this time can be resolved.
At the same time, at the Whale Bay port thousands of miles away, Chai Rugui, Gao Liugeng and Li Wenqing, who had just stepped off the Beihai No. 3, were so surprised when they saw the tall steel hangers and mountains of wooden boxes in front of them. I was speechless for a long time.
"I'm going to fuck you!" Li Wenqing raised his head and turned twice. Suddenly he felt a surge in his stomach and rushed straight to his throat. He said "Wow", lowered his head and vomited.
Senior brother Chai Rugui rubbed his back and said, "Third brother, didn't you just say you were fine? You have vomited all the way. Why don't you find a doctor to take a look?"
"Puch!" Wu Rong, who was dressed as a village girl and had a floral cloth bag hanging on her shoulders, suddenly couldn't hold it in and covered her mouth and burst into laughter.
Next to her, Wu Zhong, dressed as an old farmer and carrying a big bag, pulled his face and scolded: "No rules!"
Li Wenqing, who had just vomited a few mouthfuls, tilted his head and glanced at Wu Rong, who was tall and slender with a big black braid. He had a grimace on his face and gasped: "I, I don't know how to hydrate... ..YUE~...even I have never built such a big ship...YUE~~!"
At this time, Gao Liugeng, who was tiptoeing around and looking around, turned around and said to Li Wenqing: "I'm talking about third brother, please stop talking."
It is said that if the martial arts people in Henan saw this, they would all be shocked. Li Wenqing, who once broke down five steps of bluestone with one foot and was able to knock down dozens of people with his bare hands without hurting himself, was actually seasick!
Suddenly, Wu Rong, who turned his back to everyone, suddenly jumped up, pointed in the distance and shouted: "Dad! Look, how big is that boat over there?! It's as big as a mountain!"
Including Li Wenqing, who had just finished vomiting, everyone else raised their heads and looked in the direction of Wu Rong's finger, and suddenly took a breath of cold air. Wu Zhong, who originally wanted to scold his daughter, also stared blankly and fell into a daze.
On a pier opposite Whale Bay, a huge blue and white boat was docked there. If they hadn't seen the figures coming and going on the boat, everyone would have thought they were dreaming.
When they entered the port by boat before, they didn't pay attention to the east side of Whale Bay. They were all attracted by the things on the port.
The three brothers, Chai Rugui, looked at the huge boat in the distance like a mountain in astonishment. The oldest man's jaw dropped, and his eyes almost fell to the ground. He thought to himself, can this thing be called a boat? It is simply the palace of the Dragon King!
At this time, the early morning sunlight passed over the fort on the peninsula east of Whale Bay and shone right on the tall white poop of the Thunder. From the fifth floor to the third floor, all the glass windows facing south reflect the dazzling sunlight and look crystal clear, making the immigrants on the dock feel as if they are in the human world.
After a while, Wu Zhong suddenly woke up and reprimanded his daughter with a serious face: "How unbecoming is it for a big girl to yell and scream! If you say you are like this, no man will dare to marry you in the future."
Wu Zhong is fifty-seven years old this year. In ancient times, this age was half as old as a child. He was an upright and kind man. He only had an old wife. He had a daughter like Wu Rong when he was nearly forty years old. Later, his old wife died of illness. Wu Zhong regarded his daughter as a treasure and passed on all his martial arts skills to her.
After hearing this, seventeen-year-old Wu Rong grabbed her father's sleeve and said, "I don't want to get married. I want to spend my whole life with my father and grandma."
Wu Zhong was greatly relieved after hearing this, but after thinking about it he still sighed. The daughter was not allowed to stay in college, but Wu Rong was obsessed with martial arts, and he himself was reluctant to let his daughter get married, so he wanted to recruit a wife.
The problem is that these days, there are very few people who dare to be a son-in-law. If you step in, you will not only be ridiculed, but also have to change your name. The most serious thing is that you can't even be included in the family tree. If you violate the rules and do not fulfill your filial piety, you may even be kicked out of your home.
Wu Zhong's family was located in Qingyun County, Shandong Province in later generations, but during the Qianlong period, it was under the jurisdiction of Tianjin Prefecture. He had asked many families before, but no one was willing to be his son-in-law. This made Wu Zhong very worried. She has become an old girl!
Li Wenqing, who was wiping his face with a towel at the side, hesitated for a moment after hearing what the father and daughter said, and did not dare to say anything.
He is afraid that his mother will beat him to death when he goes back...
At this time, several people heard movement behind them, so they turned around and saw seven or eight people, both men and women, walking dozens of steps away. What surprised them was that these people all wore white cloth masks on their faces and red cloth straps on their arms. They didn't know what the purpose was.
"Everyone, I've vomited what I needed to. Are you feeling better?"
Oops! I saw the young man who was speaking holding up a gray trumpet-like thing. When he spoke, the loud sound made several big boxers startled. They thought that this young man was too confident. He might also be a master. ?
"Attention! Let me introduce myself. I am from the Beihai Town Immigration Office. My surname is Li, which is a single Chinese character. You can just call me Li Han."
All the new immigrants had timid expressions on their faces. They watched Li Han spitting and talking about precautions and arrangements, but they didn't dare to say a word. Only Wu Rong, who was standing behind, stood on tiptoe to watch. Wu Zhong quickly pulled the daughter's sleeve, and she calmed down.
"What is the Immigration Office? It is responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the young and old men who are new to our Beihai Town. Our Beihai Town has a large territory and many rules. We must teach everyone clearly."
At this time, someone among the immigrants asked: "Master, when will I be given fifty acres of land?"
"When will you pay the one hundred pence you mentioned before boarding the ship?"
"Do you have lunch for lunch? On the way here, I was told that we have three meals a day."
Gao Liugeng, who was standing in the back row, also joined in the fun and shouted: "Master, where are we staying tonight?"
"Stop, stop, stop, stop! Wait a moment! Listen to me first!" After Li Han shouted, seeing that the scene was still noisy, he stretched out his hand and turned the knob on the back of the speaker, only to hear a "sizzling" sound. The immigrants present were so frightened that they all covered their ears.
Seeing the panic of hundreds of people in front of him, Li Han smiled. He was already used to it. It was like this almost every time new immigrants landed.
After waiting for a while, Li Han continued: "Now you have received your number plate. If you lose it, you will have no food and no place to live!"
When the people who followed Li Han handed out the wooden number plates to everyone, Li Han said again: "Now pay attention! Those who take the odd number plate stand in front of the two people on my left; those who take the even number plate For cards, stand in front of the two people on my right."
Wu Zhong and others took a look at the numbers on the license plates in their hands. They all had odd and even numbers, but Wu Zhong and Wu Rong's numbers were odd and even respectively. Wu Zhong originally wanted to switch with someone, but before he could speak, Li Wenqing said: "Old man, I have an even number, so I'll switch with you."
When the more than 500 people present were divided into two groups according to odd and even numbers, Li Han raised his loudspeaker and said: "Now pay attention! For those with odd numbers, women follow the woman wearing the armband, and men follow the man."
As soon as these words came out, the families in the crowd suddenly panicked and started arguing. Wu Zhong and others standing behind looked on with cold eyes.
"What are you doing? Why do you want to separate my family?"
"I don't want to be separated from my man."
"father!"
"Damn it, baby!"
Seeing the crowd in front of him starting to make noise again, Li Han shook his head helplessly and shouted into the loudspeaker: "Shut up, everyone! Listen to me! Otherwise, we won't have anything to eat at noon!"
This worked better than anything else, and the noisy crowd immediately fell silent.
"When I separate you, I will take you to take a bath, change clothes, and let the doctor check your body! Look down and see that you are all gray and dusty. Isn't it a good thing to clean it up? Besides, the health of your wife and children, you What do you want to do to other men?!"
After hearing this, all the new immigrants' worries were all gone. Just listen to Li Han continue: "No one wants to separate you! It only takes half a day, two hours at most, and we can meet you at noon. After dinner, I have to help you arrange accommodation, do you understand? ! "
"understand!"
"middle!"
"Yes!"
"Master, can I ask what you want to eat for lunch?"
Li Han glared at the man who asked the question, laughed and scolded: "You are a bitch, you can't get enough of it."
Boom~~ A group of new immigrants who were originally farmers suddenly became silly and happy. Chai Rugui, who was in the crowd, turned to Gao Liugeng and said, "This is the first time I've seen such yamen and officials."
Gao Liugeng said disapprovingly: "I don't think there is any difference."
Ten minutes later, more than 500 people were divided into four teams according to odd and even number plates and men and women. Under the leadership of the Beihai Town Immigration Office, they walked through the goods yard and arrived in front of a three-story building. When they saw that the windows were all crystal clear, and they could even see people walking back and forth from the outside, these new immigrants were dumbfounded again.
Gao Liugeng gasped, thinking that expensive crystal glass could be seen everywhere here. These rebels were too extravagant!
