Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 169 Change
Zhao Xin and the others didn't know until they saw Huang Maocai again after more than a month. When Huang arrived at Xinxingsha on the southeast side of Chongming Island that night, there were already more than a dozen large and medium-sized boats moored on the nearby ocean. Water boat.

The so-called chasing boat is Fuchuan. The characteristic of this kind of boat is that there is no bow post at the bow, and the bow is like a big open mouth; the bottom of the boat is painted with white ash to prevent the corrosion of shellfish such as barnacles.

The Daganzhuan ship is between 36 and 37 meters long and 7 meters wide. It has 24 cabins and can carry 1500 shi.Each ship is equipped with more than 30 sailors and boatmen, and 80 sailors.The boat is 23 meters long, 6 meters wide and 2 meters deep, with more than 20 sailors and boatmen and 60 sailors.

The water boat has a wide deck and a shallow bottom. The hull is 22 meters long and the beam and belly are nearly 6 meters wide.This kind of ship was originally a transport ship along the coast of the south of the Yangtze River. It was mainly used in the navy of the Qing Dynasty to catch pirates at sea; it is also a large and medium-sized sea ship.

(The disadvantage of the big chasing boat is that its maneuverability is not good. The so-called "tall as a city, cannot be driven by manpower, it depends on the wind and tide, but it is inconvenient to fly back, and its draft is deep, but it benefits the open ocean. In the Caspian Sea Yi Jiaoqian must help the sentinel boat.")
Fortunately, the sentry flag of the Susong navy bought for 500 taels of silver was hung on Lao Huang's sandboat, so he passed the inspection without any risk.However, when the sentry ship of the Qing army boarded the ship for inspection, Lao Huang tentatively asked the chief.

After receiving the five taels of silver handed over by Lao Huang, the manager said with a smile, "It's fortunate that you are back tonight, otherwise tomorrow will be troublesome."

"Oh. How do you say that?"

The general explained: "According to the order of the Admiral Lan, the Admiral of Jiangnan Water and Land, starting tomorrow, the sea around Chongming will be banned, and all ships will be suspended from going to sea for two days, and ships returning from overseas must be boarded and inspected by the inspecting navy before they are allowed to enter the inner ocean. .”

Lao Huang then asked what happened to these large and medium-sized boats with lanterns hanging on the sea.The commander explained that these were warships from Chuansha Camp and Wusong Camp, and the reason why they gathered here was to sail to the Kipsi Islands and Yangshan Island for inspection in the morning.

Lao Huang deliberately pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Dare to ask the military master, what happened to mobilize the troops so much?"

The boss then briefly talked about the murder and kidnapping cases in Yangzhou.While listening, Lao Huang acted astonished.

Too hanging!Lao Huang was very glad that he left early. If he delayed leaving until tomorrow, he might run into the navy.At the same time, he also began to worry about Wang Yuanfang and others who stayed on the island.

The next morning, Wang Yuanfang came to the top of the former pit at the highest point of Huaniao Island alone.This is the highest point of the entire Huaniao Mountain, more than 200 meters above sea level, with a bare top and a wide view.Standing here, you can have a bird's-eye view of most of the island and the nearby waters, and it is also the highest peak among the Kipsi Islands.The purpose of his coming here is to select a site for the radio relay station to be erected in the future.Anyway, Deng Fei hasn't arrived yet, so he took advantage of the time to do this in advance.

It was almost one o'clock at noon, when Wang Yuanfang was about to go down the mountain, he found a sail shadow on the sea in the northwest direction.After he watched with the binoculars for a while, several chasing boats of the Qing army finally showed their figures.The bronze cannon on the bow of the ship reflected yellow metal light under the sunlight.

Wang Yuanfang did not expect the navy of the Qing army to come so soon. While running down the mountain, he used a walkie-talkie to notify Ding Guofeng at the foot of the mountain, telling everyone to get on the boat; if the Qing army blocked the island, They can't hold on to this kind of people.

After Ding Guofeng received the news, he immediately arranged for everyone to board the ship.The supplies brought by Lao Huang could no longer be taken care of, and a group of girls supported each other and started boarding the ship again.

At this time, you can see the disadvantages of the three-inch golden lotus. The more than 30 "skinny horses" can't walk fast at all.The sand by the sea is still very soft, and I sprain my feet at every turn.

Seeing this, Ding Guofeng was so anxious that he couldn't care less about whether a man or a woman could kiss or not. He picked up a girl with a sprained leg, hugged her and ran to the boat.The girl's frightened face paled and she screamed.When Liu Zheng, Lu Shoushan and the others saw it, they didn't hesitate, so they carried one on their backs and boarded the boat.Suddenly there was a burst of crying on the beach.

"Put me down!"

"Don't move!"

Liu Siting was in charge of the fifteen girls getting on the boat, and she was also carried and hugged, and she was exhausted after several trips.

When Wang Yuanfang went down the mountain and ran to the beach, there were still more than a dozen "skinny horses" and seven or eight girls who hadn't boarded the boat.By the time everyone boarded the boat, an hour had passed since the Qing army's warship was discovered.

But the Thor hasn't arrived yet, what should we do?All Wang Yuanfang and the others have are two Negev 5.56mm light machine guns, four pistols, two assault rifles and two SKS.There are a lot of bullets, but these light weapons alone are not enough to drive the Qing army's boats!Not to mention that there are guns on the opponent's ship.

Fortunately, Wang Yuanfang and Ding Guofeng filled up the official boat in the morning, otherwise it would be too late to refuel now.

Wang Yuanfang thought, at present, he can only run to Jeju Island, which is more than 240 nautical miles to the northeast.Deng Fei had said before that his route to the south this time was to come from the Tsushima Strait and pass through the southern part of Jeju Island.

So, when the warship of the Qing army just passed the Goutou neck on the east side of Huaniao Island, it saw a white strange ship jumping out from the left side of the fleet at the same speed as flying.And behind the large glass windows on the ship, a group of beautiful young ladies became an unforgettable scene for many Qing army sailors.

By the time the warship of the Qing army completed its U-turn in a hurry, the official boat had turned into a small white spot on the sea.In this way, Wang Yuanfang and the others entered the vast sea; as for whether the Qing army navy was chasing after them, how long have they been chasing?Then don't know at all.

The official boat that Zhao Xin bought is an inland river speedboat. Although it has a strong battery life, it is in danger of capsizing when encountering large waves at sea; and the small radar on the boat can't detect very far.Wang Yuanfang could only rely on the compass and memory on the boat to drive in the direction of Jeju Island.

But these are not the most important.

Zhao Xin didn't add water to the water tank because he was in a hurry when he took the boat.When they evacuated before, they left all their supplies on the island.Although there is still some bread and so on, there are 53 bottles of mineral water for 10 people.

Big trouble now!

The six men discussed it and decided to keep a bottle of water for themselves, and distribute the rest to the women and children.But this is not enough!

After entering the vast sea, the "skinny horses" began to cry and cry, not knowing what their fate would be; a dozen girls gradually started to cry because they had to control their drinking water.Liu Siting was so busy that she had to comfort the younger ones after comforting the older ones.

The cries of adults and children finally made Ding Guofeng anxious, and he went down to the cabin and yelled a few words, saying that whoever made trouble would throw her into the sea.Now the cabin was finally quiet, and a group of girls were so frightened that they could only sob softly.

A day later, when Wang Yuanfang and the others arrived in the southern part of Jeju Island, dozens of people on the boat were already smoking from their thirsty throats.Wang Yuanfang took Lu Shoushan and Xu Dayong to the island to find water, while Ding Guofeng and Pan Xiucheng stayed on the boat to call for the Thunder God.

Fortunately, Jeju Island at this time was only used by the Li Dynasty to exile prisoners and raise horses, and the Jeju Muyamen was in the north of the island, and there were only a few small villages in the south. Wang Yuanfang and the others managed to find a well in a small village.

But how do you say it?After the girls on the house leaky boat drank the well water brought back, several girls had a stomachache and began to vomit and diarrhoea.Now Director Liu didn't recruit either. She never thought that such a thing would happen, and she didn't prepare any sandacin drugs at all.

Dozens of people stayed like this for two days, and finally relied on the communication equipment on the official boat to contact the Thor that had just passed through the Tsushima Strait, and finally returned safely.

After listening to Wang Yuanfang's narration, Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng felt very grateful.

If Wang Yuanfang hadn't made a decisive decision to retreat immediately, he would have been surrounded by the Qing army navy.These skinny horses have all seen Lao Huang. Once they are captured and interrogated by the Qing army, Shen Jingdan's line will be over.

In the following two weeks, these "intellectual women" and girls headed by Tang Xiao gradually settled down in Beihai Town.In order to accommodate them, Zhao Xin asked Chen Qingsong to build several sets of wood-carved alcoves for them, and arranged for security police to stand guard and patrol.Because of language and living habits, the fifteen abducted girls were also handed over to these "skinny horses" to take care of them.

During this period, Liu Siting took A Miao and a group of female nurses to perform physical examinations on the new arrivals.The results of the examination are almost all malnourished, too thin!Regarding the issue of the three-inch golden lotus, these girls are determined not to let their feet go, despite Director Liu's lip service.No way, Director Liu had no choice but to ask the carpenter to make a wooden stick for each of these girls;

The arrival of 32 women with small feet from the Qing Dynasty caused a sensation in Beihai Town.Every day, men or women come to see the strange things near the residence.Whenever someone was watching outside the house, Tang Xiao and the others would be so frightened that they would shut the door behind them.And Tang Xiao's figure and demeanor also made a group of refugees envy them.Not to mention men, even women are envious, this is a beautiful woman from the great dynasty!
Zhao Xin was very helpless about this.On the one hand, he conveyed the order to the refugees not to watch through the district chiefs; on the other hand, he personally explained to Tang Xiao that the purpose of bringing them here was to teach the children to read.

After seeing Zhao Xin himself, Tang Xiao finally understood that this man who went to his house to choose a skinny horse was the mastermind who turned Yangzhou City upside down, and also the big boss of this town.

However, what shocked Tang Xiao and the others the most was that the men in Beihai Town didn't have braids, and their hair was short.This is clearly a group of "rebels"!A group of barbarians!
During this period, most girls accepted their fate with trepidation.After passing the assessment of the nine-member group headed by the old man, he began to teach the children in schools to teach them how to read and write.When they found out that there was actually a girl from the Qing Dynasty named Shen Xuan in the school, they gradually realized that Zhao Xin hadn't lied to them.

Before the end of September in the lunar calendar, the first wave of wheat planted began to be harvested.Due to the emphasis on black soil, no pesticides and chemical fertilizers are used during the wheat growth period, and even field weeding is done manually.

With Chen Qingsong's efforts, Beihai Town has cultivated a total of 4000 mu of cultivated land this year.It sounds like a lot, but in fact it is only [-] hectares of land.According to the allocation standard of [-] mu per household, only [-] households were allocated, while Beihai Town now has more than [-] households.Chen Qingsong's reclamation goal for next year is [-] hectares.

The roaring sound of machines and the spectacular scene during harvesting attracted many people to watch in the fields.When the ancient people in Beihai Town saw that the RX 9620 drove over the wheat field, not only did the harvesting complete, but even the wheat stalks were crushed and turned into fertilizer and returned to the field, they all agreed that it was Zhao Xin's "divine power".

Shen Xuan, who brought the school children to watch the harvesting scene, also looked at Zhao Xin differently after listening to the refugees' comments, and the bright eyes were shining again and again.

When Tang Xiao and the others saw several huge RX9620s for the first time, they were all frightened.No matter how urged by the students around him, he never dared to take a step forward.It wasn't until Shen Xuan explained to them that it was just a machine used for farming that she dared to take a closer look.

"Forget it, take your time." Zhao Xin thought helplessly.

Although superstition is bad, it is very effective for him to give orders in Beihai Town; sometimes Chen Qingsong explained things to the refugees that didn't work for a long time, but Zhao Xin's words made the refugees go to work.

The yield per mu of wheat harvested for the first time is not high, with an average of more than 300 catties per mu.According to Chen Qingsong, it is already very good to have this harvest in the first year.The next step is to implement the "early narrow dense" cultivation mode commonly used in another time and space. Through reasonable dense planting, optimized fertilization structure, strengthened water and fertilizer management, and timely chemical control, it is expected that the production capacity per mu will exceed [-] next year. catty.Now with Fang Hua, a chemistry teacher, he can design different fertilization amounts and fertilization ratios by testing the nutrient content of the soil in different plots.

After the autumn harvest, intensive land preparation work began again in the field, so that the land can reach the best sowing state to survive the winter.

In early October, after the engine overhaul was completed, the Raytheon took more than 300 Qing prisoners and two platoons of soldiers to Solenji Island.The gold mining that Zhao Xin has always been obsessed with has finally started. Wang Changsheng, the former second master of the pirates, and his subordinates were promoted to supervisors of the mine.

Facing the lonely island and the guards armed with live ammunition, Ouchi guard Li Dagang finally gave up his plan to escape from the prison, and started a [-]-hour miner's life like other ordinary Qing soldiers.

Although Zhao Xin has strict management over these people, he never skimps on food.Therefore, although the life of the miners of the captives of the Qing army was hard, they had enough rice and steamed buns every day; the treatment of eating meat once a week was something they never had in the Qing Dynasty.The mentality of many people began to change gradually in this subtle way, until one day they subconsciously said "We are in Beihai Town".

One year has passed since Zhao Xin came to this era.He thought he was still that compassionate guy, but in fact, he had already changed unconsciously.He has changed from a small entrepreneurial boss full of passion to a powerful man who can control tens of thousands of lives in Beihai Town.

On the eighth day of October in the 49th year of Qianlong, Fukang'an, who was far away in Gansu to deal with the aftermath of the "Hui Rebellion", read the copy of the official document sent by the Military Aircraft Department about the three major cases in Yangzhou and the admiral's office in the south of the Yangtze River.After thinking about it, he took up a pen and wrote a memorial to Qianlong.

Under the bright candlelight, a distorted warhead was placed on the table.

This is what he picked up on the battlefield of Fuljaha River.
