Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 10 Where to Go

Early in the morning at camp, the day begins as the birds begin to chirper in the trees.

"How many days have you been away, sir?" Katsu Saburo, who did not leave his body, glanced at the empty field in the distance, and asked Li Ji next to him casually.

A "magic" iron box had been placed in that place before, and the furnishings inside made Katsuzaburō's jaw almost dislocated.But since Zhao Xin left, the big iron box disappeared.

"It's been five days." Liji replied, staggering inadvertently. The new shoes weren't quite used to it, and he almost stabbed his foot.He also held a red scabbard samurai sword in his hand, which was just one of Zhao Xin's many handicrafts, and he gave it to him casually.But Liji thought that Master Zhao had given him the status of a warrior, and was very satisfied.

In the eyes of the dozen or so refugees who came to the camp, the clothes of this group were really weird and extravagant.

The old refugees in the camp, men and women, young and old, all put on thermal underwear, thick cotton socks, overalls, welding shoes, and a thick green or black cotton coat.

For these newly arrived refugees, according to the results of the consultation of the old refugees, there is no problem with eating, and bedding can be provided, but the clothes are temporarily unavailable, and they must be obtained after swearing allegiance to Master Zhao Xin in person.

Well, according to the interval between each time the adults come back, some of you have waited.

Because there are not enough tents, the newly arrived refugees can only build temporary sleeping shacks with branches outside the tents.

After these days, more than a dozen refugees have been added here and there, including men, women and children.These people originally wanted to run to the beach, at least how can they pick up some shells on the beach and catch a few small fish to feed their stomachs, but they came across this camp unexpectedly.

After Zhao Xin's comfort and rectification in the camp for a few days, the injured people's injuries gradually improved.And the blessing of two meals of rice a day has brought these thin and weak people back to life, and several of them have actually gained weight.Of course, this includes Wan Zao's snotty son.

This kid just finished being naughty, and let Wan Zao's wife, who was helping the cook, grab him and slap him hard when he took off his pants.

Wan Zao, who recovered from his illness, and four other men in prime age were all given samurai swords by Zhao Xin. Together with Katsuzaburo and Likichi, these people were called "Master Zhao's Seven Samurai" by the men and women in the camp.

As soon as Katsu Saburo recovered from his injury, he began to teach the other six people martial arts every morning. Among the six people, a guy named Kuzang was the fastest and very talented.After a few days, I was gradually able to have a relationship with Sheng Saburo.Jiuzang is also very hardworking. Apart from eating and sleeping, he is practicing martial arts every day.

As for the guy named Shigeru, he was the one who was scolded the worst.He was originally an honest farmer who couldn't beat a fart with three sticks. He was "pulled" by Zhao Xin because of his strong body.Every time he practiced, no matter how carefully Katsuzaburō explained it, this fellow was not enlightened, and Katsuzaburō was so angry that Katsu Saburo started to hit him with a branch.

Before leaving this time, Zhao Xin left all the grain, oil and food he purchased last time, and explained in detail how to use the kitchen utensils.

He purchased [-] tons of rice before, which is nearly [-] catties according to the ancient unit of measurement.Even if this little two hundred people eat a pound a day alone, they can eat at least half a year, enough to wait for him to come back.

According to what Zhao Xin said before he left, he was going to find a boat and take everyone out to sea to a place where there was no pressure from generals, lords and warriors, and where he could have enough food and clothing for his labor.

All the refugees were full of confidence in Zhao Xin's words, and they were waiting for Zhao Xin's return with hope.

And on the other side of time and space.

After the miserable comparison of the old society, Zhao Xin spent another three days after returning, and then he began to think about things.

"I'm going to go, where is the right place to go?" Zhao Xin sat in front of the computer, looking back and forth at the map data.The ashtray on the table was full of cigarette butts, and cups and cups of coffee had been drunk.

The day before yesterday, he finally sold five large pieces of Jun porcelain. The buyer was the father of his rich second-generation friend.

Zhao Xin, who had no worries (actually tired of the waves), began to concentrate on searching for information at home and finding a place to stay.Given the conditions of the eighteenth century, there were not many options.

One is to the northeast, along the Aleutian Islands, to the east, across the Bering Strait, and then south to the west coast of the North American continent, such as the San Francisco area; the other is to the west, across the Tsugaru Strait, and then west-north into Bear Island.

The first one is of course good. In this era, only Indians and a small number of Spaniards were active in the western part of the ocean, and the climate was mild and humid.But there were a lot of troubles, first of all the vicious Siberian fur hunters on the Aleutians at the end of the 18th century.

It is said that since Bering and Chirikov of Tsarist Russia discovered the Aleutian Islands in their expedition in 1741, a large number of sea otters and seals here attracted a large number of Siberian hunters, and gradually settled here, becoming the destination of Tsarist Russia. The foothold of Alaska's advance.To deal with these Siberian hunters, katana swords alone are not enough, firearms are necessary.You must know that by the early nineteenth century, these vicious Siberian hunters had killed all the natives of the Aleutian Islands.

And the most important issue is the ship, he doesn't have a big freighter.Even if there were, he didn't have that many seamen to get the ship going.There is only one seaman I know now, Liu Sheng.Zhao Xin still didn't know if Liu Sheng would help him. It wasn't as simple as starting a boat, but it was going to go to the 18th century before starting a boat, or it would be fatal.

In fact, the reason why Zhao Xin was entangled in the two locations was that he wanted to occupy the western region on the other side of the ocean, where there was a mild climate suitable for growing food, a small number of Spaniards could not pose a threat, and the most important thing was gold, a lot.

But in fact, for his current conditions, it is most suitable to go to Bear Island, and the opposite of the bay of Bear Island is Vladivostok.

At the end of the 18th century, before the tentacles of Tsarist Russia reached here, Bear Island was deserted, and Vladivostok was only a small fishing village at that time.In the "General Map of Geography of the Emperor Qing Dynasty" compiled in the 38th year of Qianlong, Xiongdao is not even a place to be found.

Here we will mention the Jilin General established in the Qing Dynasty.Before 22 years of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, it was called "General Ningguta". The so-called "sending Ningguta to armored men as slaves" was under the jurisdiction of General Jilin.

The jurisdiction of the Jilin General in the Qing Dynasty was extremely broad, starting from the Sea of ​​Okhotsk in the north and the sea of ​​the Sea of ​​Japan in the south; in the west to the Ninggu Pagoda (near the Mudanjiang River today), to the Kaiyuan boundary of Shengjing Weiyuanbao; in the south to the Nantumen of Changbai Mountain Jiang, Yalu River more than 1300 miles, and North Korea border; north of Heilongjiang to the outer Xing'anling, bordering with Tsarist Russia.

In such a vast area, there were only 3000 Qing troops stationed in the six cities of Jilin, Ningguta, Sanxing, Baiduna, Alchuka, and Hunchun.And Xiongdao is the closest to Hunchun City, almost across the sea.In the Qing Dynasty, Hunchun was garrisoned by co-leaders and under the management of the deputy capital of Ningguta, with only a few hundred people.

If there is enough military support, even if Bear Island is occupied, it is estimated that there will be no response from the Qing Dynasty.

At the moment, apart from money tickets, there is nothing to ask for, and it's okay to fight, kill, and shoot.Quietly in the past, do not shoot.

From the seaside of Aomori to Bear Island, even if the boat is a little smaller, it takes two more trips to pull away all the people.

If this is going to the other side of the ocean, forget it, let’s talk about it later if there are conditions...

After thinking awkwardly for a long time, Zhao Xin finally made up his mind.And with the decision, there are several laments.

"Gold~~ my gold~~"

"Meow~"

"I'm going!" Zhao Xin seemed to have heard the cat meow, and he was agitated, turning around and looking around.Suddenly I remembered that Duofu was still in the pet store, and I didn't bring it home.

Well, everything is an illusion.

Well, first of all the question of the boat...

No~!The first is the question of finding the people who will drive the boat, how many people decide how big a boat can be.

As soon as the nerves relaxed a little, the unstoppable drowsiness surged up.Zhao Xin slept for 10 hours in this big sleep, and when he woke up, the sky was already dark.

I brushed my teeth and washed my face, brewed a cup of coffee, lit a cigarette, thought for a while, and searched the Internet for a long time.Afterwards, Zhao Xin dialed Liu Sheng's cell phone.

"How's it going?"

"Go to divorce in two days." Liu Sheng's voice was dull on the phone.

"Have you given them all the money?" With the conscience of heaven and earth, Zhao Xin definitely didn't mention it on purpose to make the other party think about owing him money.

"It's all given."

"I want to ask you something."

"You said."

"After you finish the formalities in a few days, do you still have time to spare?"

"What's the matter? I have two weeks off, and I have to go back to the ship."

"Oh. Then, call me when you're done. I'll ask you for help and watch something with me."

"What do you need me to accompany you to buy?"

"You'll know then. Waiting for your call."

Putting down the phone, Zhao Xin smiled with satisfaction, let's go step by step.

Three days later, Zhao Xin, who was cuddling the big cat Dofu at home, received a call from Liu Sheng.

"It's all done."

"Okay. Pack your bags and fly to Sanya with me this afternoon."

"Go to Sanya? Why?"

"Go buy a yacht."

Yes, the tabby cat has just been brought home for a day, and it has to be sent back to the pet store for foster care.

Evil human, you continue to toss this king.The Dolph tabby cat is full of resentment.
