With the successful conclusion of the armed parade of the Qing army, Fan Tong led the armored vehicle troops and 4,000 infantrymen, crossed the trench and headed south, capturing more than 3,100 Khalkha Mongols.
Most of these Mongolian soldiers were frightened by the armored vehicles, and many of them even forgot to escape. Until the rumble of the armored vehicle stopped in front of Juma, and the Beihai navy jumped out of the vehicle and shouted that they would disarm and not kill, many people still looked devastated, and some were even scared to the point of urinating.
In the next hour, Fan Tong and the others encountered no resistance on the road from the trench to the Qing camp. When they arrived at the Qing army camp at Ladolan Station, they saw a mess everywhere inside and outside the camp. There was even a lot of white money and a lot of cloth scattered on the ground. The scene was indescribably weird.
From the time they were dispatched to the end of the mission, the armored troops fired only two rounds, which made Fan Tong very bored. But when he remembered the first time aerial tanks appeared on the Somme battlefield in another time, the Germans with modern weapons were also terrified and ran away desperately. From this point of view, the collapse of the Qing army is nothing.
In order to fully vent his unwillingness, Fan Tong immediately used the walkie-talkie to ask Zhao Xin for instructions, preparing to leave an infantry regiment to clean the battlefield. He himself would take the convoy and another regiment into Kutule Dolan, which was far to the south. Ten miles away from the inn, there was a "firepower show" for the Qing army.
"...Boss Zhao, I also know that artillery shells are quite expensive, but I feel really panicked if I don't use them. You have to let me have a good time, right?"
"Yeah!" Zhao Xin paused, and then said on the walkie-talkie: "Then fight for one minute, and you will be given a quota of 200 rounds of grenades for each vehicle!"
Things in this world have always been "if the broom cannot reach it, the dust cannot fall off". In order to let the Qing army have a good understanding of the firepower of the Bei Navy and no longer have the confidence to dare to gong and drum in person, Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng discussed it , and immediately agreed with Fan Tong’s idea.
After Fan Tong received the order, he did not let the armored vehicles attack immediately. He first ordered Pan Xiucheng's third regiment to send a company to serve as a reconnaissance force; their purpose was to eliminate those Qing army sentries in charge of the rear to form a battlefield. Cover them up so they don't have the chance to go back and report the news.
More than three hours later, when Fan Tong received a report from the front that the outpost sent by the Qing army had been dealt with, he immediately ordered the armored troops to dispatch and arrived ten miles away from the Kutul Dolan Station in the south.
At this time, night has fallen, and a crescent moon has just risen in the sky, half-hidden and half-revealed in the slowly moving clouds, reflecting the Gobi wilderness in darkness. Dark clouds, moonlight and light mist surrounded the Qing army camp, which was dotted with fire. The flames blown by the wind loomed in the field of view of the telescope, much like the phosphorus fire in the cemetery.
As Fan Tong issued the firing order, the machine guns on nearly fifty armored vehicles began firing at an uninhabited wilderness four kilometers away. Dozens of red bullets were seen, like meteors, drawing bright trajectories in the sky; 30mm artillery shells roared towards the target area at a speed of 3 to 4 rounds per second, and the explosion of fire made people in the distance The ground seemed to be boiling.
Tens of thousands of Qing troops had been running for a whole day. Running sixty miles was already the limit, and every one of them was so tired that they were exhausted. Many people go to bed early in the evening after eating, completely unprepared. When the sound of artillery that could shake the heaven and earth suddenly sounded, the camp was exploded in an instant. It was pity for these Qing soldiers, who had traveled a long distance and had not eaten vegetables for a month or two. Many of them suffered from chicken eye and were like blind men at night, running around in the camp without thinking.
Suiyuan General Xingzhao faced the roar of the camp and knew that it would be useless to kill people to establish his authority. He could only wait until daybreak, so he rode south surrounded by a hundred soldiers. But under the dim stars and moon, black shadows could be seen everywhere, and calls, cries, greetings, screams of being accidentally trampled by horses, and the collision of weapons were all mixed together.
The one-minute shelling passed quickly, but the chaos of the Qing army in the south became even more serious. Fan Tong held up an infrared telescope and looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help but laugh proudly. When it was almost done, he ordered all the vehicles to turn around quickly, turn on their lights, and returned to Taladolan Station in column formation.
This camp roar didn't end until dawn the next day. It came suddenly and went away quickly. Tens of thousands of people stretched for more than 20 miles south from Kutul Dolan Station, with seemingly no end in sight. Some were lying on their backs motionless after running tired, some were lying on their stomachs and fell asleep, some were kneeling with their swords and guns half leaning on them, and some were sitting back to back in a pile. There were all kinds of strange things. There was an overturned grain truck parked on the ground, and the grain bags on it had been scattered all over the ground; a flag that had been trampled on with big footprints was raised again, and was blown by the morning wind...
When Agui, who was at the Boluo'eba Station, learned of this, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He had to postpone his retreat to the south, sent people to collect the defeated troops, and wrote an apology note to Qianlong. Fortunately, the Beihai Navy did not arrest the Qing troops who were camped and roaring at night, otherwise more than half of the more than 20,000 people would not be able to come back.
The Qing army retreated, but the Northern Navy's affairs were not over yet. Liu Sheng and Fan Tong still have to lead their troops to Uliasutai, 1,200 kilometers away, while Zhao Xin has to lead a regiment and related logistics personnel to build a military station near Taladolan Station. This is the only node that guards the Cullen South Road and the Altai Military Platform Line. In the future, at least one battalion of troops must be stationed, and sufficient food and ammunition supplies must be stored. A strong point must be built.
Eight days later, Fukang'an, who was urgently recalled from the Chechen Khan tribe by Qianlong, finally arrived in Rehe. He hurried along slowly, day and night; even Fukang'an, who was sitting in the sedan, was sore all over, let alone the thirty-six bearers who carried the sedan for him and the accompanying 1,500 elite cavalry.
When the large group arrived at Rehe, they had already passed Weizheng. Fukangan asked his personal soldier captain to lead the Sauron soldiers and Baerhu soldiers to the camp outside the city, and then went straight to the main gate of Li.
Although it was late autumn outside the customs at this time, Qianlong had not returned to Beijing yet. As usual, he would set out for Rehe at the turn of June and July every year. He would first stay at the Summer Resort for a while, wait until August or September to enter Shaomulan, then avoid the Summer Resort, and return to Beijing in September or October. Still stationed in Yuanmingyuan.
Qianlong, who was having dinner in the west room of Yanbo Zhishuang Hall, heard that Fukang'an had arrived, and immediately pointed outside and said: "Come in quickly!"
Fukangan almost ran in all the way. When he came to the door of the West Room, he knelt heavily on the ground, kowtowed and said with a choked voice: "Master... I miss you so much! You How is your body and bones?"
Qianlong hadn't seen Fukangan for several years. Seeing him like this, he felt sad for a while, but he smiled and said: "Pingsheng! I calculated the mileage of the road. You should have reached Rehe yesterday anyway. It's not easy to walk on the road. ?”
As he spoke, he looked at Fukangan, and saw that his figure was no longer as straight as before, and there were some white hairs on his braids. When he stood up, he looked haggard, with dark circles under his eyes. He couldn't help but sigh: "Why are you doing this in Jilin?" You’ve worked really hard this year! Come and have a meal with me. Come, give Fukangan a seat!”
Fukang'an grew up in the palace and had meals with Qianlong countless times. He didn't have to worry about it. He sat down and washed his hands openly. He waited for Qianlong to move his chopsticks first, and then picked up the chopsticks. I ate a small elephant-eye steamed bun with the fresh mushrooms and stir-fried chicken in front of me. Qianlong saw that he ate deliciously, and asked the eunuch to bring him a bowl of shredded chicken and bird's nest soup in front of him.
After the meal was cleared and tea was served, Qianlong asked about the situation in Jilin, Qiqihar and other places. After Fukang'an replied one by one, he asked the eunuch to bring the ministers in charge of Tibet, Baotai and Yamantai. Show the book to Fukangan.
Fukang'an took it with both hands, and when he read it at a glance, he already understood Qianlong's intention of calling him back, and then said: "The small country of Zuo'er dares to plunder Houzang! I asked you to lead the army to go out to share the worries of the master!"
Qianlong said: "Don't worry, there is another letter here. You should read it first before speaking."
When the eunuch brought over a locked sandalwood box, Qianlong took out the key from the purse at his waist and opened it. Zhao Xin's letter was placed inside.
When Fukang'an took it and opened it to see the top clearly, he was immediately shocked. When he read the contents inside, there was an unbelievable look in his eyes.
Qianlong coughed slightly and asked all the eunuchs and maids in the palace to step back. Then he said in a deep voice: "It concerns the country of the Qing Dynasty. In addition to you and me, this letter has been read by Heshen and his housekeeper Liu Quan. Don’t mention it to outsiders. You need to plan what you need first and tell He Shen. In the future, Liu Quan will be asked to come forward when you have any contact with the Beihai pirates, and he will transport the things to Xi'an for you."
Fukang'an quickly put the letter back into the box, flicked his horse hoof sleeves, kowtowed to Qianlong and said, "嗻!"
On the morning of October 25, 1791, the Thor and two large motor sailing ships, which had left Beihai Town for a year, slowly sailed into the Whale Bay under the tug of three tow barges and against the roaring sea wind.
Deng Fei in the cockpit saw the crowds of people on the shore constantly waving to greet him, and for some reason he felt like a "wanderer going home" in his heart. It has been almost eight years since he came to this era, and he has regarded Beihai Town as his second hometown.
There are two piers in Beihai Town adjacent to the South China Sea. The Whale Bay on the west side is for civilian use, while the Dolphin Bay on the east side is for military use. Because Hunchun has been captured, Vladivostok, which was previously a small fishing village, and Mokuowei, southeast of Hunchun City, have also been included in next year's development plan by the Civil Affairs Bureau.
At the end of the 19th century in another time and space, the Guandong people had a saying called "Paoweizi", which refers to going to these two places to go fishing and trade. The status of Vladivostok is self-evident. Although there is a freezing period in winter, it is definitely a natural deep-water port. Although the hydrological conditions of Mokuowei are not as good as the former, it used to be the starting point for the Qing army to inspect the fourteen islands in the South China Sea. It is the key to guarding the mouth of Tumen River.
According to the plan, the Thor and the ship should come back for overhaul in late September. The Zheng Yi fleet that could replace them did not arrive in Nanyang until the end of September because they helped He Xiwen encircle and suppress the remnants of the Shimazu family.
In addition, on their way north, Deng Fei and the others first went to Hoi'an to pick up someone, and then stopped for two days when passing through Ryukyu. In addition to visiting the heir Shang Wen, who had just recovered from a serious illness, they also had a friendly conversation with Cai Shichang, who served as the third division officer. Hearing that Deng Fei and the others were going back to Beihai Town, Cai Shichang immediately proposed to send a "thank you envoy" to go north together to express his gratitude to Zhao Xin.
Although Ryukyu experienced a war and the Shuri Royal Palace was destroyed, the country's trading rights and control rights have been regained, completely getting rid of its status as a vassal state, and no longer need to pay the Shimadzu family's annual grain payment of 1,000 koku. "Payment". For this alone, Beihai Town has already rekindled its kindness to Ryukyu. Furthermore, the military doctors of the Northern Navy completely cured Shang Wen’s typhoid fever, which was another great favor.
As mentioned before, the political structure of the Ryukyu Kingdom is a hereditary system. Only people from Shuri, Tomari, Naha, and Kume can become officials. However, senior officials are controlled by Xiang, Ong, Mao, and Ma. In the hands of the surname. Among them, the Xiang family is actually the Shang family, and the Weng, Mao, and Mas families have been intermarrying with the Shang family for generations.
However, after a war to quell the rebellion, the four families suffered heavy losses. Many people died in the war because they were attached to the Shimazu family. However, the four families of Cai, Zheng, Lin, and Cheng from Kume Village took the opportunity to rise.
Seeing that the situation was stronger than the others, and He Xiwen was backing him, Xiang, Weng, Mao and Ma had no choice but to bow their heads. After some discussion, the eight noble families re-divided the "cake". The Shang family continued to serve as the supervisor of the first rank, and Cai Shichang became the third official of the first rank, and served as the national teacher, responsible for teaching the young Shang Wen; at the same time, the other three Jiume villagers also jumped from low-level officials to hereditary high officials family.
This time, the person accompanying Deng Fei to the north to serve as the "envoy of gratitude" was Cai Shichang's deputy, Zheng Zhangguan, the "third official seat" of the second rank. The purpose of this person's coming to Beihai Town was not only to express his gratitude, but also to carry out an important mission. He was to inspect Beihai Town and judge whether it was worth immediately changing the door to embrace him.
After the Thor entered the port and lowered the gangway, the bustling crowds of people boarded the pier one after another. After having some cordial greetings with Chen Qingsong, Yu Deli and others who came to greet them, they walked in the cold In the cold wind, they eagerly boarded one of the four-wheeled carriages and hurried towards their respective destinations.
Among these people were Peter and his party who were entrusted by the Governor of the French East India Company and Nguyen Phuc Anh to come to discuss expanding cooperation with Beihai Town; there were envoys from Ryukyu; there were the father and son of the Ye family and several members of the Minh Huong Society who came from Hoi An. businessmen; and the tanned Jiang Fan, Zhong Huai, and the six or seven students they recruited in Nanyang.
You must know that since Beihai Town was founded, there have never been so many visitors at one time. Although Deng Fei sent a telegram notification in advance, the civil affairs department was still busy arranging the respective residences of these people.
By the time everyone on the boat had almost disembarked, all the people and carriages waiting on the pier were gone. Ten minutes later, a shiny black four-wheeled carriage with a golden Northern Navy emblem on the door suddenly drove in from the port gate, followed by a large four-wheeled carriage that could seat sixteen people. Not long after, the two vehicles stopped steadily next to the Thor's gangway.
After a while, a group of people were seen stepping off the Thor. The leader was Deng Fei, and behind him were not only the guards, but also seven or eight women and men carrying luggage.
When these people walked down the gangway, the driver of the black carriage had already opened the door and lowered the foot pedal. When Deng Fei helped a young woman wrapped in a thick fur to the front of the car, the woman looked around curiously and whispered: "Master, is this Beihai Town?"
"This is the Whale Bay Pier. It's still some way away from Beihai Town. Get in the car quickly. The weather in Beihai Town is different from that in the south. It's very cold in winter. Don't get cold."
After Deng Fei and the woman entered the carriage one after another, several guards greeted the others and boarded the big car with their luggage. As the carriage started to move, Deng Fei stretched out his hand to cover the young woman's slender hand, breathing in the heat, and asked with concern: "Is it cold?"
The young woman smiled slightly and said, "Fortunately, this is the first time I have worn fur since I have grown so big. It is very warm."
"How's it going? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
"I'm much better now, sir, don't worry."
"Go home and have a good rest. I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow."
The young woman looked out the window curiously, and strange-looking but unknown buildings passed quickly past her eyes. She couldn't help but murmured: "So this is the North Country."
This person was exactly the woman named Chen Yuwan who came from the Chen family in Jiading, Annan, and was canonized as "Princess Zhenli" by Ruan Fuying after she was sent to Deng Fei's side.
Since the situation in Bacheng stabilized, Deng Fei, who had already learned the taste of things, couldn't help but feel lonely, and sent a boat to take Chen Yuwan from Jiading to Bacheng. After a lot of hard work, she soon became pregnant. This made Deng Feile crazy, so he took advantage of his return to rest and prepare and brought his woman back.
