Zhao Xin obeyed his wife very much. He went to the hospital after eating early the next morning, and A Miao followed him as usual. Shen Xuan looked at her man's back expressionlessly, until the man disappeared, her eyes began to become a little sparkling.
The guard battalion will never be able to keep up with the footsteps of "King Zhao". Since Chen Jishan was transferred, Yin Bingwei, the successor guard battalion commander, decided to divide the guard battalion into two groups. One group will be stationed in Beihai Town at any time, and the other group will follow Zhao Xin on the expedition. He thought about it, no matter how the adults moved back and forth, there had to be a group of people following him.
So when Zhao Xin went out, a group of guards followed him. However, Zhao Xin's unexpected appearance still caused some people to be surprised. For example, Hong Liangji caught a cold last night and had a stomachache all night, so he thought about going to Wu Xianning to prescribe some medicine in the morning.
"Eh?" When Hong Liangji saw a familiar figure flashing past in the hospital, he was immediately confused.
When he returned to the primary school office with the medicine and told others what he had just seen, Duan Yucai and Liu Taigong were also very surprised. At this time, Wang Zhong, who was burying his head in his desk and writing, said: "Jun Zhi, I have told you a long time ago that our King Zhao is not an ordinary person. At the beginning, you were arguing with me and talking about nonsense. Do you understand now?"
"Brother Rong Fu, what do you mean?"
Wang Zhong put down his writing brush, pointed to a map hanging on the wall in the room and said: "It is nearly ten thousand miles from Yeniseisk to Beihai Town, not to mention the twelfth lunar month of winter, when the road is blocked by heavy snow, no matter how hard you travel, it will take two days one way. More than a month. But where was King Zhao more than a month ago? He was fighting a Rakshasa!"
Hong Liangji and Liu Taigong thought about it carefully and found out that this was really the case. This is unprecedented! The previous emperors all wanted to live forever and become gods, but now this one is a god as soon as he appears? !
What will happen to the relationship between monarch and minister from now on?
Duan Yucai and Liu Taigong were deep in thought, but before Hong Liangji had time to think, he heard a grunt in his stomach, and he immediately turned around and went out...
In the ward, Zhao Xin sat on the stool in front of the bed, carefully looked at the pale Wang Zhenyi, and said with some guilt: "Take good care of yourself, read less, and don't go out with Lin Ziping. Look, you are tired and sick." ..."
Wang Zhenyi looked at Zhao Xin's dark circles like pandas, and just responded with "hmm". She never expected that he would actually come. It must be a coincidence that when A Miao sent the telegram, he was already on his way back.
"...When the snow melts in the spring and your body is almost full, you can go to the north for a walk and I will take you to ride a horse. I have captured several Akhal Tekin horses before, which are what the ancients called sweat-blooded horses. I I have a black one, which is only 8 years old and is very beautiful. But it is too cold in Yeniseisk, so I have to wear a horse jacket at night and feed it sheep fat and eggs..."
"I, I can ride a horse, I don't need you to lead me..." A trace of blush rippled on the young woman's delicate and pale face, and someone's big hand had grasped her slender fingers at some point.
"I think you just read too much, think too much, and worry too much, just like the eagle on the stand of the Hezhe people."
"What do you mean by this?"
"Sitting in the autumn wind with your neck curled up, your ambition is as cold as a duck. When will you take off the brocade curtain and fly into the sky with anger?" Someone was rummaging, and then he carried the plagiarized poem on his back without a red face and a heartbeat.
"Did you do it?" Wang Zhenyi's eyes suddenly became very bright. She knew that someone was "erudite", but she had never heard that he could compose poetry. But this poem completely expressed what she was thinking, and it felt so apt.
"Eureka." Someone was not shy about plagiarism. In his opinion, we are all one family sooner or later, and what's yours is mine.
Zhao Xin stayed in Beihai Town for three days this time, during which he also discussed with Wang Zhong and others the issues of future imperial examinations. Now that Beihai Town has not yet entered the customs, Wang Zhong has already begun to make preparations in advance.
This is a big project that cannot be covered by a simple "examination room rules", but involves the entire household registration, examination principles, procedures, legal penalties and a series of issues. If you are not careful, you will have the same problem as the "college entrance exam immigration" in another time and space.
The imperial examinations in the Qing Dynasty actually followed the Ming system. Official registration, Wei ancestral home, Zao registration, and business registration were all inherited from the Ming Dynasty. In addition to increasing the imperial examination requirements for the Eight Banners, the system of selecting officials by province was only introduced in the Qing Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, it was a divisional system.
Wang Zhong, Duan Yucai, Liu Taigong, and Hong Liangji first drew up an outline of Beihai Town's own regulations by referring to the Qing Dynasty's "Imperial Examination Regulations." Zhao Xin spent a day reading it, and the next day he expressed his opinions to Wang Zhong and others.
"It doesn't matter how many generations you are in this article. As long as you have never broken any laws, you can take the exam. I'm telling you, the Tongsheng Examination is just a qualification exam. How can you donate money?"
Although humble status was abolished during the Yongzheng era, in the thirty-sixth year of Qianlong's reign, it was stipulated that all five categories of people who wanted to participate in the child examination, namely Lehu, lazy people, Danhu, fishermen with nine surnames, and beggars, had to count down from the time they changed their careers. It is only possible to reach the fourth generation, and all relatives in the family must be clean and have not broken the law. You have to spend money to buy the exam qualifications.
For the descendants of prostitutes and slaves, the thirty-fifth year of Qianlong stipulated that the descendants of prostitutes and slaves were never allowed to take the exam. Even if his descendants are adopted by others, they are still low-level direct descendants. Anyone who dares to take the exam in disguise will be dealt with severely once discovered.
Sure enough, Hong Liangji asked unwillingly: "I dare to ask King Zhao, what happens after the prostitutes are served?"
Zhao Xin thought for a moment and said, "Treat everyone equally."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. Liu Taigong said: "If this is the case, those generations of innocent and law-abiding people will never agree."
Zhao Xin sneered and said: "It is necessary to abide by the law. Do you have to commit adultery and break the law? The more you think like this, the less likely the descendants of Lehu, Yuhu and even prostitutes and officials will be able to get ahead. People in this world How many of them are willing to put themselves below others? Who doesn’t want to have books to read and serious things to do? There’s no need to talk about this anymore. Even slaves have been abolished in Beihai Town. Ask Lao You because the parents of the children in that family used to be slaves. Are you going to refuse a beggar if you pass by?"
"This..." Hong Liangji wanted to argue again, but Wang Zhong on the side kicked him lightly with his toes, and then helplessly handed over his hands and said: "I accept your order!"
Zhao Xin still left under A Miao's slightly disappointed eyes. It's not that he doesn't want to take her with him, but it's just that it's too far. It is more than 4,000 kilometers, and even a snowmobile traveling at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour would take dozens of days. If something happens halfway by then, it may not be even two months. However, Zhao Xin promised A Miao that he would definitely take her with him next time he goes out.
In this regard, both A Miao and Shen Xuan expressed disbelief.
...
On December 2, 1790, a carriage carrying the body of Field Marshal Rumyantsev of the Russian Empire arrived in Moscow under the spotlight. Catherine II braved the heavy snow and came from St. Petersburg. Accompanying her were the heads of the four main departments of the Senate of the Tsarist Empire, as well as the heads of the two departments of the Senate in Moscow. Except for those who were fighting the Turks, almost all Russian military generals and nobles came to express their condolences, and even Potemkin from as far away as Moldova rushed back.
The condolence ceremony in Moscow was held at the famous "St. Basil's Cathedral" in Moscow. Afterwards, the marshal's coffin will be escorted to Kiev by the Queen's Guards and buried in the Assumption Cathedral Cemetery near the Pechersk Monastery. This was Rumyantsev's last wish before his death.
Fortunately, Rumyantsev died in late autumn and the weather in Siberia has turned cold. Otherwise, the queen and nobles would have to pay tribute to his ashes.
Many businessmen and citizens from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan and even Little Russia also gathered outside St. Basil's Cathedral.
The sixty-one-year-old empress deliberately put on the military uniform she had not worn for many years to express her condolences to an imperial marshal.
"Many years ago, when I first came to this country from Germany, knowing nothing about its people and its courage, and not even speaking Russian, I already heard about an 18-year-old count. He served as the commander of an infantry regiment. When I fell in love with this country, I learned more about Alexandrovich after hearing the news about the victory in the Battle of Velikyegersdorf. This was a true A great man who dedicated his spirit, passion, soul and even life to his country..."
Catherine II's speech was very long, almost twelve or thirteen pages long. She felt that this was not enough to express her condolences to Rumyantsev, and she hoped that in this way she could make up for her previous indifference towards Potemkin when he snubbed Rumyantsev.
"...Gentlemen, an evil enemy invaded our land, for which Zhadunayski gave his life, and countless brave soldiers also died on the battlefield. I myself believe in reason, and I also believe in Justice given to us by God. God gave us this land as a result of the indomitable struggle of the entire Russian people to build a new empire and strive to be recognized by the world. This is my Russia, your Russia, and all peoples Russia, solemn and sacred, inviolable!"
The more the Queen talked, the angrier she became. Twenty-eight years have passed since she deposed her husband. She worked hard and conquered the country, and finally opened up 520,000 square kilometers of territory for the Tsarist Empire in Europe. The result was... In the blink of an eye, millions of square kilometers of territory behind him were lost. This has seriously questioned her legitimacy since she ascended the throne. Now some nobles are already secretly working together to prepare for Archduke Paul to succeed him.
To be honest, ever since she learned the news of Rumyantsev's defeat, she felt a little regretful. She did not dare to listen to Ivan Jacobi's instigation and start the war without permission. Based on her years of understanding of her next-door neighbors, she could never imagine what kind of person would be bold enough to challenge two huge empires at the same time.
The most important thing is that they actually won!
Zhao Xin's insidious thing is that he only released Suvorov alone, but not everyone else. So when Suvorov returned to St. Petersburg, faced with his warning, both the nobles and the generals thought that he was frightened by the sudden attack by the group of Chinese rebels. The angry Suvorov had no excuse at all, and in the end he could only resolutely join the war with the Turks, winning back his honor with victory after victory.
However, now, as the news of the "Battle of Usolye" came back, the generals of Tsarist Russia knew that Suvorov had been wronged.
At the end of her speech, the Queen once again repeated her famous saying: "...As long as I have enough life, I will defend my motherland with words, pen and sword!"
Patriotism never goes out of style, and Catherine II stirred everyone's emotions with her passionate speech.
"Long live the Queen!"
"Zadunayski is immortal!"
"Destroy those Chinese bandits! Cut off their heads!"
As the Queen's speech ended, the generals and nobles present raised their fists and started shouting. When the sound spread outside, the crowd who came to express condolences also began to shout, and everyone's emotions reached their peak.
After the condolence ceremony, the Queen immediately summoned the heads of various departments of the Senate and relevant military generals to hold a royal meeting in the palace. But at the beginning of the meeting, the finance minister first reported bad news.
That is, there is not enough money. The correct statement is that once the Queen issues a general mobilization order, the treasury will be quickly depleted.
The Sixth Russo-Turkish War has been fighting for more than three years so far. The Tsarist Empire issued huge national debt for this war. Potemkin returned to attend the condolence ceremony, and Suvorov was now in charge of the Crimea side. The attack on Izmail Fortress has now reached a critical moment. For this battle related to the capture of Crimea and Georgia, more than 30,000 ground troops and large and small ships are gathering.
No one here would be willing to eat the meat that is about to reach their mouths. Moreover, once the news of the Russian army's failure in Siberia reaches Crimea, it will greatly shake the morale of the army.
"No! I have to issue a proclamation today, and I will never forgive those Chinese people!" Catherine II knew that everyone was looking at her attitude. If she acted a little slowly, those who secretly supported her son would have something to do. action, thereby threatening her throne. She told the finance minister: "Use the Crimean tax revenue for the next ten years as collateral to borrow money from those Jews! I have been so good to them over the years, they must spend money to support me!"
Stepan Ivanovich, who was in charge of intelligence, stood up and reported: "Now the group of Chinese calling themselves 'Beihai Town' has detained our officers and soldiers in a prisoner-of-war camp east of Usolye. It seems that Their fate will be the same as those who came before in Yaksa."
"Do you want to spend money to redeem some officers first?" 53-year-old Potemkin interjected, and the queen immediately glared at her old lover.
Thirty-six-year-old Paul said: "Mother, let me lead the troops to teach those Chinese people a lesson this time! Let me do something for this country and share your worries."
The Queen said that there was no one who could make her worry free. She glanced at her son and said in a cold tone: "You and your wife and children stay at home, which is your greatest contribution to the country."
"Holy Mother, I suggest that we first organize a negotiation team to go to Krasnoyarsk to find out the true and false status of our opponents." State Secretary Hrabovich hurriedly changed the subject in order to avoid embarrassment to Archduke Paul.
"Let the chief priest select two people from the members of the sixth mission to China who understand the Chinese character and are proficient in Chinese to accompany them," Catherine II agreed, and then said: "Let them tell those Chinese People, spit out all the territory of Siberia to me, not even an inch will be lost!"
