Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 569 Fire Display and Visitors from Beihai Town
With the successful conclusion of the armed parade of the Qing army, Fan Tong led the armored vehicle unit and 100 infantry, crossed the trench and went all the way south, capturing more than [-] Khalkha Mongols.

Most of these Mongolian soldiers were scared stupid by the armored vehicles, and many of them even forgot to escape.Until the rumbling armored vehicle stopped in front of the refusal horse, and the Bei Haijun who jumped out of the vehicle shouted to disarm and not to kill, many people still looked devastated, and some even pissed and shitted out of fright.

In the next hour, Fan Tong and the others encountered no resistance on the way from the trench to the Qing army camp.When the troops arrived at the Qing army camp located at the Radolan post station, they saw a mess everywhere inside and outside the camp, and there were even a lot of white silver and a lot of cloth scattered on the ground. The scene was indescribably weird.

From the dispatch to the end of the mission, the armored troops only fired two shots, which made Fan Tong very bored.But when he remembered the first time that the air tanks appeared on the Somme battlefield in another time, the Germans with modern weapons were also terrified and desperately fled.From this point of view, the collapse of the Qing army was nothing.

In order to fully vent his unwillingness, Fan Tong immediately asked Zhao Xin for instructions on the walkie-talkie, and planned to leave an infantry regiment to clean up the battlefield. He himself would take the convoy and another regiment to Kutule Dolan, which is far south. Ten miles away from the post station, there was a "firepower show" for the Qing army.

"Boss Zhao, I also know that shells are quite expensive, but if I don't come here for a while, I'm really panicking. You have to let me have a good time, don't you?"

"Yeah." The walkie-talkie was silent for a while, and then Zhao Xin said: "Then call for 1 minute, and each car will give you a quota of 200 grenades!"

Things in this world have always been "the broom can't reach, the dust can't fall", in order to let the Qing army have a good understanding of the firepower of the Beihai Navy, and no longer have the confidence to dare to gong face to face, Zhao Xin discussed with Liu Sheng , 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 unit; Cover them up and prevent them from having the opportunity to report back.

More than three hours later, when Fan Tong received a report from the front that the sentry sent by the Qing army had been resolved, he immediately ordered the armored troops to dispatch and came to a place ten miles away from the Kutule Dolan Station in the south.

At this time, night had fallen, and a crescent moon had just risen in the sky, half-hidden in the slowly moving clouds, reflecting the Gobi wilderness in darkness.Dark clouds, moonlight, and light mist surrounded the Qing army barracks, which were lit up with fire, and the flames blown by the wind were faintly visible in the field of vision of the telescope, much like the phosphorescent fires in the cemetery.

Following Fan Tong's firing order, the cannons on nearly fifty armored vehicles all fired at an uninhabited wilderness four kilometers away.I saw dozens of red bullets raining out bright tracks in the air like meteors; the 30mm shells roared towards the target area at a speed of 3~4 rounds per second, and the flames of the explosion made people in the distance The ground seemed to be boiling.

Tens of thousands of Qing soldiers ran for a day, running sixty miles to the limit, and everyone was exhausted.Many people go to bed early after eating at dusk, completely unprepared.When the sound of cannons that could shake the sky and the earth sounded instantly, the battalion was blown up in an instant.Pitiful for these Qing soldiers, they traveled long distances, and they didn’t eat green vegetables for a month or two. Many of them got corns, and at night, they ran around the camp like blind people.

General Suiyuan Xingzhao faced Ying Xiao, knowing that it would be useless to kill people and stand up, so he could only wait for dawn, so he rode southward surrounded by a hundred soldiers.When he rode his horse up a hill, he could see black shadows everywhere under the dim stars and moon, shouts, cries, greetings, screams of being trampled by horses accidentally, and the encounter of weapons. The sound of collisions mingled together.

The 1-minute shelling passed quickly, but the chaos of the Qing army in the south still did not stop.Fan Tong held up an infrared binoculars and looked at it for a long time, he laughed a few times, and then ordered all the vehicles to turn around quickly, and returned to his Radolan Station in a column formation.

This camp roar did not end until dawn the next day, it came suddenly and went away suddenly.Tens of thousands of people stretched southward for more than 20 miles from Kutule Dolan Station, and there seemed to be no end in sight.Many people were barefoot, disheveled, and didn't even carry weapons. After a night of fright, they were shivering from the cold.Some were tired from running and lay motionless on the ground on their backs, some fell asleep on their stomachs, some knelt stiffly while leaning on their knives and guns, and some sat in a pile back to back.An overturned grain truck was parked on the ground, and the grain bags on it had been scattered all over the ground; a command flag full of big footprints that had been stepped on was erected again, and was blown up and down by the cold morning wind...

When Agui, who was at the Boluo Eba post station, learned of this, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, so he had to suspend his retreat to the south, send people to gather the defeated soldiers, and at the same time wrote a letter of confession to Qianlong.Fortunately, the Beihai Navy did not arrest the Qing army that roared at night, otherwise more than half of the 2 people would not be able to return.

The Qing army retreated, but the affairs of the Beihai Navy were not over yet.Liu Sheng and Fan Tong will also lead their troops to Uliasutai, which is 1000 kilometers away, while Zhao Xin will take a regiment and related logistics personnel to build a military station near the Taradolan post.This is the only node guarding the Kulun South Road and the Altai Army Station line. In the future, at least one battalion of garrisons must be placed, and sufficient food and ammunition must be stored. It must be built firmly.

Eight days later, Fukang'an, who was urgently recalled by Qianlong from the Chechen Khan, finally arrived in Rehe.He really rushed all the way, day and night; even Fu Kang'an, who was sitting in the sedan chair, was sore all over, not to mention the 36 bearers who carried the sedan chair for him and the [-] elite cavalry accompanying him.

When the big team arrived at Rehe, Fukang'an asked his personal captain to lead the Sauron soldiers and Barhu soldiers to the camp outside the city to settle down, and then went straight to Li's main gate.

Although it was late autumn outside the pass at this time, Qianlong had not yet returned to Beijing.According to the usual practice, every year when he comes to Rehe, he sets off at the turn of June and July, and first stays at the Summer Resort for a period of time, and waits until August and September to enter Mulan Xingwei, then returns to the Summer Resort, and returns to Beijing in September and October. Also stationed in Yuanmingyuan.

Qianlong, who was having dinner in the west room of Yanbozhishuang Hall, heard that Fukang'an had arrived, and immediately pointed outside and said, "Call in!"

Fukang'an almost came in at a trot, and when he came to the door of Xishaojian, he knelt on the ground with heavy knees, kowtowed and said in a choked voice: "Master, I want to kill my slave! How are you? "

Qianlong hadn't seen Fukang'an for several years. Seeing him like this made his heart ache, but he smiled and said, "Pingshen! I calculated the mileage of the road, and you should have arrived in Rehe yesterday anyway. The road is not easy, is it?" ?”

While talking, he looked at Fukang'an, and saw that his figure was no longer tall and straight, and there were more white hairs on his braids than before; there were a few more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and even dark circles appeared, so he couldn't help sighing : "It's hard for you to stay in Jilin for the past two years. You have worked really hard! Let's have dinner with me. Come, give Fukang'an a seat!"

Fukang'an grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he has dined with Qianlong for countless times. A small steamed bun with elephant eyes, and started to eat the stir-fried chicken with fresh mushrooms in front of him.Seeing that his food was delicious, Qianlong asked the eunuch to bring over a bowl of shredded chicken and bird's nest soup in front of him.

After eating, the table was removed and tea was served again. Qianlong asked about the situation in Jilin and Qiqihar, etc., and after Fukang'an answered one by one, he asked the eunuch to send the ministers in charge of Tibet to Baotai and Yamantai. Show the book to Fukang'an.

Fukang'an took it with both hands, and after he read it at a glance, he understood Qianlong's intention of calling him back, and then said: "The small country of Cuoer, how dare you plunder Houzang! This slave please lead the army to go out to share the master's worries!"

Qianlong said: "Don't worry, there is still a letter here, you can read it first."

When the eunuch fetched a locked sandalwood box, Qianlong took out the key from his waist pouch and opened it, and Zhao Xin's letter was placed inside.

When Fukang'an took it and opened it to see the head-up on it, he was immediately shocked, and when he finished reading the contents inside, his eyes showed an expression of disbelief.

Qianlong coughed lightly, and asked all the eunuchs and maids in the palace to retreat, and then said in a deep voice: "It's about the Qing Dynasty, Jiangshan Sheji, this letter is not only read by me and you, but also by He Shen and his housekeeper Liu Quan. Don’t mention it to outsiders. You first plan what you need, and just tell He Shen. In the future, let Liu Quan come forward when you contact the North Sea Pirates, and he will transport the things to Xi’an for you.”

Fukang'an quickly put the letter back into the box, flicked his horseshoe sleeves, leaned over and kowtowed: "Hey!"

On the morning of October 1791, 10, the Thor and two large motor sailboats, which had left Beihai Town for a year, sailed slowly into Whale Bay against the howling sea wind under the tow of three tug barges.

When Deng Fei in the cockpit saw the people on the shore waving their hands, he somehow felt a feeling of "going home".It has been almost eight years since he came to this era, and he has already regarded Beihai Town as his second hometown.

There are two docks in Beihai Town adjacent to the South China Sea. The Whale Bay on the west is for civilian use, while the Dolphin Bay on the east is for military use.Because Hunchun has been captured, Vladivostok, which was a small fishing village before, and Mokuowei, southeast of Hunchun City, have also been included in the development plan for next year by Minzheng.

At the end of the [-]th century in another time and space, the people of Kanto had a saying called "Run Weizi", 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 patrol the [-] islands in the South China Sea. It is the key to guarding the mouth of the Tumen River.

According to the plan, the Thunder God and the ship should come back for overhaul in late September, but Zheng Yi's fleet, which could replace them, did not arrive in Nanyang until the end of September because it helped He Xiwen encircle and suppress the remnants of the Shimadzu family.

In addition, Deng Fei and the others first went to Hoi An to pick up people on their way north, 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 was the third officer.Hearing that Deng Fei and the others were going back to Beihai Town, Cai Shichang immediately proposed to send "envoys of gratitude" to go north together to express his gratitude to Zhao Xin.

Although Ryukyu has experienced a war and the Shuri Palace was destroyed, the country's trade and control rights have been taken back, and it has completely got rid of its status as a vassal state, and it is no longer necessary to pay the Shimadzu family a thousand koku of grain per year. "Payment".Just for this point, Beihai Town is already a remake of Ryukyu.What's more, the military doctors of the Beihai Navy completely cured Shang Wen of typhoid fever, which is another great kindness.

As I said before, the political structure of the Ryukyu Kingdom is a hereditary system. Only people from Shuri, Bo, Naha, and Kume can become officials, but senior officials are all controlled by Xiang, Weng, Mao, and Ma. In the hands of the surname.Among them, the Xiang family is actually the Shang family, and the Weng, Mao, and Ma families have intermarried with the Shang family from generation to generation.

However, after a war to suppress the chaos, the four surnames suffered heavy losses. Many people died in the war because of their attachment to the Shimadzu family. The Cai, Zheng, Lin, and Cheng families from Kume Village took the opportunity to rise.

Seeing that the situation was stronger than others, and with He Xiwen behind them, 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 Zhengyipin, and Cai Shichang became the third official of Congyipin, and served as the national teacher, responsible for teaching the young Shang Wen; at the same time, the other three Jiumi villagers also jumped from the status of low-level officials to hereditary high-ranking officials. family.

This time, the one who accompanied Deng Fei to the north to serve as the "Envoy of Thanksgiving" was Cai Shichang's deputy, Zheng Zhangguan, the "Third Division Official Zuozuo" of Zheng Erpin.The purpose of this person coming to Beihai Town is not only to thank you, but he also has an important mission to inspect Beihai Town and determine whether it is worth changing the door immediately.

After the Raytheon came to a complete stop and lowered the gangway, the bustling stream of people boarded the pier one after another. After exchanging cordial greetings with Chen Qingsong, Yu Deli and others who came to welcome them, they went to the port in the bitter cold. In the cold wind, they eagerly got into the four-wheeled carriages and hurried towards their respective destinations.

Among these people were Li Wenyue and Peter and his party who were entrusted by the governor of the French East India Company and Ruan Fuying to discuss expanding cooperation with Beihai Town; there were missions from Ryukyu; there were the Ye family and his sons from Hoi An and several Ming Xiang There are also the tanned Jiang Fan, Zhong Huai, and the six or seven students they recruited in Nanyang.

You must know that Beihai Town has never had so many visitors since its establishment.Although Deng Fei had sent a telegram in advance, Minzheng was busy arranging the respective residences of these people.

By the time the people on the boat had almost disembarked, the crowds and carriages greeted on the pier had also disappeared.Ten minutes later, a shiny black four-wheeled carriage with a golden Northern Navy emblem on the door suddenly drove in from the gate of the port, followed by a large four-wheeled carriage that could seat 16 people.Not long after, the two cars parked steadily next to the gangway of Thor.

After a while, I saw a group of people getting off the Thunder God, the leader was Deng Fei, and besides the guards, there were seven or eight women and men carrying luggage following him.

When these people walked down the gangway, the driver of the black-painted carriage had already opened the door and lowered the pedals.When Deng Fei helped a young woman wrapped in a thick fur to the front of the car, the woman looked around curiously and asked softly, "Master, is this the Beihai Town?"

"This is Whale Bay Wharf. It's still a long way from Beihai Town. Hurry up and get in the car. The weather in Beihai Town is different from that in the south. It's very cold in winter. Don't get sick from the cold."

When Deng Fei and the woman got into the carriage one after another, several guards greeted the others to get into the big car with their luggage.As the carriage moved, Deng Fei stretched out his hand to cover the young woman's slender hand, steamed non-stop, and asked with concern: "Is it cold?"

The young woman smiled slightly and said, "Fortunately, it's the first time I've worn a fur fur at such a big age, it's very warm."

"How? Are you still uncomfortable?"

"The concubine is already much better, so you don't have to worry about it, master."

"Go home and have a good rest, and I will take you to the hospital for an examination tomorrow."

The young woman looked out of the window curiously, and a series of strange but unknown buildings quickly passed by before her eyes, she couldn't help but muttered: "So this is the Northland."

This person is exactly the woman who came from the Chen family in Jiading, Annan, and was named Chen Yuwan by Ruan Fuying after she was sent to Deng Fei.

Since the situation in Bacheng had stabilized, Deng Fei, who had already tasted the essence, couldn't help being lonely, so he sent a boat to bring Chen Yuwan from Jiading to Bacheng.After a lot of hard work, she became pregnant soon, which made Deng Feile crazy, so he took his own woman back when he came back to rest and prepare.
