Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 354 About Shame
Early the next morning, Zhao Xin got the roster of all the people in Heilongjiang City.He flipped through the pages while eating breakfast, and only saw Li Bi's name on the last page.

"From Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, a government-scholar teaching assistant, interesting!"

A person from Zhejiang who can travel thousands of miles to the northernmost military fortress to support education, let alone, must be exiled.

After breakfast, Zhao Xin called Mi Shilang over and ordered him to formally enter Heilongjiang City with the third battalion, cooperate with the administrative staff to check the government offices, gunpowder depots, and armories in the city, and inventory the materials left by the Qing army; after entering the city, he must strictly observe military discipline , Do not disturb the people.

Mishiran thought for a while and asked: "Then shall we be stationed in the city at night or go back to the camp?"

Zhao Xindao: "Your battalion is stationed in Heilongjiang City." He thought for a while, and then said to Mi Shilang: "There is a Han named Li Bi, who is an assistant teacher in the city. You can ask him for help with writing. Let's see how this guy can handle things."

"Yes."

Mishilang led two companies and performed very well in the battle of Karen Mountain this time. He just led more than 200 people to block the retreat of nearly ten thousand Tsarist Russian troops.Zhao Xin planned to transfer Mi Shilang to the General Staff after the end of the war against Russia, and promote him directly to the head of the regiment after a year or so.

This low-level farmer from Mutsu and his younger brother both went to private schools when they were in the countryside, and their starting point was higher than others. Now, over the past few years, Michelang has participated in big and small battles one after another, step by step from ordinary The soldier became the battalion commander; and his younger brother, Yonejiro, had long been the director of the Fuldan City Police Station.

Compared with the peasants of these island countries, the educated refugees from Henan are basically unwilling to serve as soldiers. Many of them work in the civil affairs and military industries.Now most of the junior soldiers in the Northern Navy are refugees from Henan and Shandong who used to be illiterate, and the most outstanding mid-level officer is that monk Zhou; There have been a lot of wars in the past few months, so it was delayed immediately.

Thinking of this, he called Wu Siyu and Huji over, and told them that from today onwards, all the drills and trainings of the various ministries will resume, morning exercises in the morning, military training in the morning, and free activities in the camp after the literacy class in the afternoon. Education is handled by Wu Siyu himself.

When Hu Ji heard this, he sucked his teeth, and Wu Siyu was also very dizzy.

Starting this morning, the construction team will find an open space in the south of the old city and north of Heilongjiang city.According to Zhao Xin's request, they will cut down trees, clear up weeds, and level the land, and prepare to build a rostrum for the "public trial conference" there.

Zhao Xin planned to take advantage of the days waiting for Liu Sheng and the others to engage in pro-people activities with the ordinary people in Heilongjiang City, and then call these people to hold a public trial meeting to find out and shoot all the Rakshasa who participated in the burning, killing, and looting.Its purpose is first to deter these invaders; second, to disintegrate the rule of the Manchu Qing in the middle reaches of Heilongjiang, and let the border people of all ethnic groups know who is the one who decides for them.

With Zamusu as the main witness, Zhao Xin was going to ask the guards to take him to find the cavalry captain Petrovich of the First Musketeer Regiment.Because no one in the Beihai Navy can speak Russian at present, he will have to interrogate himself at that time.

In fact, it doesn't matter even if you can't find it. The "law of eleven draws" has existed since ancient Rome.For the aggressors, since they failed, they had to accept their fate.

Zhao Xin intends to teach them a profound lesson, that is, there is no need to discuss the territorial issue, and anyone who wants to get involved in the Far East will have his hand cut off, such as the governor of Irkutsk, Ivan Jacobi.

After that, Zhao Xin called Sahalian again and asked him to find some of his Hezhe hunters to follow him to Heilongjiang City.
After receiving the task, Mishilang immediately ordered the communications troops of the battalion headquarters to notify the three company commanders to go to the battalion headquarters for a meeting.When Monk Zhou and the three of them arrived, Monk Zhou laughed out loud as soon as Mishilang gave the order.

"Hey, Battalion Commander, it seems that the Lord is rewarding us. I have found out clearly that the barracks in the Navy Battalion are enough for us, so there is no need to make floor berths now!"

When Mi Shilang and the other two company commanders heard it, they couldn't laugh or cry, and they laughed and scolded Monk Zhou for being so fucking useless.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, the Third Battalion of the First Regiment of the Beihai Navy held high the battle flag, sang "Man Jianghong", and marched into the north gate of Heilongjiang City.

When the soldiers sang "Jingkang is ashamed, it's still not snowing. The ambition is hungry and eats the meat of the barbarians", the dozen or so lightly wounded soldiers of the Qing army or the family members of the bannermen who could understand Chinese in the crowd showed panic, and their hearts were full. Are you saying this is to settle the ledger with us?
All of a sudden, the family members of the onlookers turned around and left one after another. They made up their minds that they would never show their faces on the street except to go to the granary to get three meals a day.

As for those Hezhe, Oroqen, Daur, and Sauron border residents who can't understand Chinese at all, they are all amazed and can't stop admiring when they see the mighty and well-organized army of the Northern Navy A few brats ran into the Beihai Navy's team, or followed the queue and learned to walk.

A Sauron said: "This soldier looks really majestic, but he doesn't know how his salary is."

Another Oroqen man said: "That's right, if it's the same as the imperial court, in January, Erliang will be given food and land, and I will go with them to fight Rakshasa."

At this time, a hunter from Balk Village who stood behind them interjected: "I heard that it is much better than the imperial court. The recruits are twelve taels a month, and they are fed three times a day. After serving as a soldier for one year, the family is also divided into [-] acres of land." .If my wife and children hadn’t gone away with no one to take care of me, I would have gone there long ago!”

"Ah?!" The people around couldn't believe it, thinking that this is still a soldier?This is no longer an uncle!

An hour later.

In the back hall of the Naval Office, Mi Shilang glanced at the tattoos on Li Bi's left and right cheeks, and asked with a smile, "Are you Mr. Li?"

Li Bi knew what Mi Shilang was looking at, his face turned red, and he said with shame: "I don't dare. The villain is just teaching some Chinese in the government school to make ends meet."

Even in the June weather, Li Bi couldn't cover his face with a cloth, and the bright light in the room made the tattoos on his cheeks very clear.He has been in Heilongjiang City for several years, and the locals are no strangers to exiles like him.If they are educated, they will generally not be harshly criticized; but for those murderers, thieves, and even disobedient exiles, whether they are adults or children, they are extremely despised, and they often scold and beat them without mercy.

No matter how Li Bi adapts, he is an official from Gongju after all; as a scholar, the strong sense of shame brought about by tattooing on his face tortures him all the time.

In the Ming Dynasty, the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" stipulated that the family members of the rebels had their faces tattooed, while the thieves only tattooed their forearms.After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the penalty of the Song Dynasty was restored.Moreover, after the seventh year of Yongzheng, both sides of the face were tattooed; the left side was stabbed for crimes, and the right side was stabbed for exile.And this is also the reason why many officials and literati who were exiled to the Northeast often stay behind closed doors except for their errands.

For example, Zhang Runan, who was exiled with Li Bi in Heilongjiang and one of the criminals in the "Gansu Fake Relief Case", has not gone out all day since he arrived in Qiqihar.Baotai, the servant of the household department, admired his knowledge and character, and wanted to invite him to teach in government schools several times, but Zhang Runan refused to go; he didn't even want Zhou Ji from a good-hearted person.

If it wasn't for resisting Rakshasa this time, Li Bi would not have gone out because there were too many wounded soldiers in need of treatment.

"Please sit down." Seeing the other party's bewildered look, Mi Shilang motioned for him to sit down and talk. Li Bi cupped his hands and said "Don't dare", and Mi Shilang didn't force him anymore.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Li, don't be nervous. Since you teach in a government school, do you know Manchu?"

Li Bidao: "Naturally, I understand a little bit about this, but I only understand a little bit, not proficient in it."

"That's great. We are short of people like Mr. Li. I would like to ask Mr. Li to write two notices, written in Manchu and Chinese, and help inform the residents of the city."

"This should be no problem, just ask the general to order."

Mi Shilang nodded, got up and went to the door and shouted to the outside, "Is Guo Dalu here?"

As soon as the words were finished, Li Bi only heard someone outside the door answering "Here!", and then a young man walked in.

Li Bi looked sideways, and saw that this person looked very young and of medium build, wearing a colorful blouse and trousers like the Beihai Navy, and a pair of black low-waist leather boots on his feet; his hair was also cut like Michelangelo With short hair and no beard on the cheeks, he looks very lean.

Mi Shilang introduced to Guo Dalu: "This is Mr. Li. He used to be a teacher in a government school in the city. He is proficient in Manchu and Chinese characters. I will let him do things with you. If you need to write any notices in the cadres, let Mr. Li help you All right."

"Yes!" Guo Dalu didn't talk nonsense, and immediately stood at attention and saluted.

Li Bi bowed his hands to Guo Dalu to salute, and then followed out of the back hall nervously, to an office in the navy camp.Before entering the door, he heard chattering voices in the office; when he followed Guo Dalu into the room, he found that there were not only two men, but even two girls in the office, his jaw dropped in surprise. on the ground.

The young men looked not very old, and they were wearing the same clothes as Guo Dalu; the men were fine, but the women all wore two big black and shiny braids.The four of them stopped talking when they saw Guo Dalu bring a stranger in, and looked at Li Bi curiously, which made Li Bi even more ashamed, and his face almost turned purple.

Seeing Li Bi's expression, Guo Dalu immediately remembered what Zhao Xin had said to them before he set off in the morning, so he comforted him: "Mr. The machine is specially used to remove tattoos and tattoos. When you go to Beihai Town, within three or four months, those will be completely removed without leaving any scars."

Li Bi's eyes lit up, then dimmed again, thinking that there is no such thing in the world, he just wanted to deceive me to work for you.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Guo Dalu said again: "Our regiment leader will come in a few days, he escaped from Ninggu Pagoda, you can ask him in person when the time comes."

Li Bixin thought that if he really had this kind of artifact, he would be buried in his ancestor's grave a hundred years later.So he cupped his hands and said to Guo Dalu: "Thank you very much! Master Guo has something to do, but please tell me."

Guo Dalu smiled and said, "What kind of master am I! I'm not yet twenty this year, you can call me Xiao Guo."

Li Bi hurriedly said: "I can't do it, I can't do it!"

"Okay, then you can call me Officer Guo."

"Secretary? What kind of official position is this?"

"It's not an official, it's just doing things for the common people."

"."

After one o'clock at noon, two notices written in Manchu and Chinese, with the ink still wet, were posted outside the gate of the rice storage warehouse; A notice of discipline in entering the city.Because it was just after lunch time, all the people who came to the granary to pick up the food had already left, and there was no one to see them.

Afterwards, Guo Dalu and others and two soldiers from the Northern Navy took the other two notices, first went to the school military field where the lightly wounded soldiers of the Qing army were stationed to post one, and then went to the Great Buddha Temple.

On the military field, a few Qing soldiers who had just changed their gauze and bandages saw the people from the Beihai Navy leave, so they walked to the notice board curiously, and muttered as they looked at the two notices written in full and Chinese.

"Northern Navy, Heilongjiang City, military control, committee, notice, Feng."

The wounded Qing soldier who was reading the notice paused for a few words, and the surrounding Qing soldiers struggled to listen. A Qing soldier with a bandage on his arm interrupted, "My lord, what kind of government office do you think this committee is?"

The one called "Master" rolled his eyes and scolded: "How the hell would I know? You just interrupted me at the beginning of the reading. If it were before, I would definitely beat you with a whip!"

Several other wounded soldiers persuaded: "My lord, please calm down, and your lord will not remember the faults of villains."

The Qing army with bandages on their arms quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. The "adult" felt that he had done enough, so he cleared his throat and continued to read.

In fact, what these wounded soldiers of the Qing army are most concerned about is how the North Navy will deal with them. , Oroqen, Daur, and Sauron have soldiers, and these people have all entered the Eight Banners.

There are not many Han troops in the Eight Banners in Heilongjiang City. The banner soldiers have two assistant leaders, and the total number is less than 200, including five to six hundred people including their families.They are mainly descendants of those Dengzhou soldiers who surrendered to the Manchu Qing with Kong Youde in the early years. During the Battle of Yaksa in the Kangxi Dynasty, they were transferred from Ningguta, Shengjing and Jilin Ula to operate red cannons, and then they were compiled into Zhengbai and red flags. The Zuo Ling of the Han army stayed here to guard the border.

As for the Hui people, there are not many of them. They all came here with the navy battalion during the Kangxi period, and they were also left behind after the war.Compared with the Manchu, Han, and Hui people, the Oroqen and Daur soldiers are the old local residents.

As the voice of the Han army leader reading the notice became louder, other wounded soldiers also supported each other and surrounded them, and finally surrounded hundreds of people.After they listened to the two notices read by Zuo Ling of the Han Army, they realized that the whole article did not say how to deal with them. Class words.

A group of people thought that the people in white coats in the Beihai Navy had been busy treating the wounded and dressing themselves with medicine and bandages since they entered the city yesterday, so a quick-talking guy suddenly said after a long while: "They don't want to Let's return to the army, shall we?"

coax!One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the wounded soldiers immediately talked about it.It's really possible if you think about it carefully.But the problem is that people like myself were still receiving the imperial court's salary two days ago, and now they are going to take up arms against the imperial court in a blink of an eye, how can this be possible?

As a member of the Eight Banners, against yourself?Shame!
On the other side, Li Bi also raised the same question to Guo Dalu. Guo Dalu laughed and said, "Mr. Li, let's not talk about whether we can eat the meals of the Beihai Navy; even if they want to eat, they have to go back to the oven and retrain." , it won’t work for a year or so!”
