Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 248 The failure of the radio station and the Qingliu faction

According to the previous agreement between Liu Quan and Zhao Xin, they will buy 2 taels of silver from Zhao Xin this time.These include large pieces of plate glass, calculators, matches, woolen cloths of various colors, pocket watches, pearls, and blade razors.In addition to these bulk goods, some enamelware and various tin cans were also imported.

(Although there were no pocket watches in this era, there were already small clocks and watches. He Shen had a mandarin jacket, and the buttons on it were all small clocks.)
Among these goods, the most expensive are 2.5 meters long and 2 meters wide plate glass and pocket watches, followed by pearls and electronic calculators.A flawless cultured pearl with a size of 11 mm in later generations was only worth more than 600 yuan, but it was sold to Liu Quan for 80 taels of silver, equivalent to 7 to 8 taels of red gold, which is a little more than 249 grams; according to the price of gold in another time and space , Zhao Xin has earned more than 100 times.

The flat glass shipped from Beihai Town is a group of five, all covered with wooden frames, and thick Ulagrass is spread between each piece of glass, which is extremely heavy.The Thor used a crane on the deck to hoist groups of glass to the sand ship below, which shocked everyone on the sand ship.As for other goods, a pallet is used to tie boxes of goods to it, and then the pallet is lifted by a crane and placed on the ship.

During the process of loading the goods, the people on the sandboat were very careful, but they still broke a group.This kind of glass from Beihai Town can be sold at a high price of 800 taels of silver when transported to the north, which can be exchanged for the yard of a six-room house.But the sailor on the sandboat made a mistake, five sets of yards, and 4000 taels of silver were gone.This was driving Wang Ping mad. He picked up a stick and beat the sailors facelessly. Those sailors rolled on the ground begging for mercy.

It is said that in the 39th year of Qianlong's reign, Suzhou Zhizhi at that time cut a piece of flat glass with a length of 2.77 meters and a width of 1.7 meters, and was fined for three months as compensation.According to the approved price of large pieces of glass purchased by Guangdong Customs at that time, the market value of such a piece of glass was 620 cents, nine cents and three cents.

When Liu Zheng saw it, he quickly dissuaded him, saying that it would not be a problem, and that he had expected this to happen, so he specially prepared an extra group.This surprised Wang Ping, who did not expect this group of rebels to be so extravagant.In fact, Wang Ping often travels to Guangzhou and knows the quality and market of glass very well.From his point of view, even though the group of glass plates were smashed, those broken pieces can be sold for a lot of money; even the slag can be taken back and re-melted to be used as a feeder.

On Flower and Bird Island, Ma Ruilin talked with Zhao Xin, waiting for the goods to be loaded.However, Zhao Xin rambled about, suddenly a certain important figure or something in the court popped out of his mouth, which made Ma 83's little heart thump.

After finally surviving for an hour, the cargo was loaded and unloaded, and Wang Ping and Liu Zheng boarded the Thunder God together.When he stepped onto the deck, he was shocked to find that the whole body of the ship was made of iron, which made him gasp and froze on the spot.

Ma 83 over there received the flag signal from the sandboat and knew that the goods had been counted and inspected, so he handed over the 2 taels of bank notes to Zhao Xin. Shangchai water boat fled.This conversation of more than two hours had a great blow to his heart, at least two years of life would be lost.

When Ma 83's ship was far away, and Wang Ping on the Thunder God was brought into the cabin by Liu Zheng to watch the western scenery, the people brought by Zhao Xin started to move.

First landed by boat was a 30-member island guard force, followed by carpenters who built barracks and warehouses, and finally a ten-member communication team and construction team.

The reason why Zhao Xin chose Huaniao Island at the beginning is because it is in the middle of Guangzhou and Beihai Town, and it is suitable as a wireless signal relay station; the straight-line distance to Guangzhou is more than 1300 kilometers, and the straight-line distance to Beihai Town is 1600 kilometers.Under such conditions, a full-mode transceiver with a power of 100W, a VHF frequency range of 144 ~ 148Mhz, and a UHF frequency range of 430 ~ 450Mhz is sufficient.

In this era of no electromagnetic pollution, such a device with a suitable antenna can basically connect to the whole of Asia as long as the other party is not hiding in a magnet mine (VHF is used in the wilderness and sea, and UHF is used in modern cities.)
The location of the antenna was chosen at the top of the Qiankeng, the highest peak of Huaniao Mountain that Wang Yuanfang had seen the year before last.The entire erection work required four pillars to be used to mount the antenna. Regardless of the preparations in advance, there was no technical difficulty at this time.

The first thing to do is find a place to start digging holes.The base at each position is made of a steel pipe with an inner diameter of 10 centimeters and a length of more than one meter, which is inserted into a hole one meter deep. The distance between them is one meter.

Excavate the floating soil and gravel, drill a few small holes and blast with a detonator; then clean up the gravel, bury the pipe and then fill it with cement.After that is to wait for the cement to dry, and then install the rhombic antenna.

This rhombus antenna was made of pure copper in the workshop, and it is a rhombus with a side length of more than half a meter.

The so-called "the higher the antenna, the better" is actually not entirely true.Exceeding the highest altitude or lower than the minimum altitude, the communication success rate will decrease instead.

When the height of the antenna does not exceed half of its own wavelength, the emitted radio wave has only one main wave, which surrounds the top of the antenna, and the power output by the transmitter is all allocated to this main wave; the height of the second gear antenna is more than half When the wave length is [-], the main wave is more narrowed, and the number of wavelets is also increased.The signal used to capture communication is the lobe (wavelet) closest to the ground.

The length of the antenna is calculated according to the relationship between the transmission frequency and the wavelength, and the side length of the rhombic antenna should be equal to a quarter of the wavelength.For example, if the communication frequency in Beihai Town is 145.6MHz, then the corresponding wavelength is 206.04mm (the speed of light divided by the frequency); after that, it can be converted by electrical length.

菱形天线在1000～2000公里的电长度是2.8，电高度是0.6。那么天线的物理边长就是波长乘以电长度，即576.92毫米；天线高度为123.63毫米。再通过三角函数计算，得到菱形内的钝角是130度，锐角是50度。

In order to build such an antenna, Zhao Xin specially asked Mr. Li who taught physics at the education port, but he was ridiculed by him.Zhao Xin expressed his innocence. We studied liberal arts back then!
"A 15-meter-high antenna? Mr. Zhao, is there so much electromagnetic radiation in this era? Are you planning to connect the world and go to the universe?"

"Huh? Mr. Li, I'm satisfied if I can get in touch with China first. I've abandoned physics for many years, and I haven't learned it since high school."

"Then what about your junior high school? Don't tell me that you don't study physics in junior high school. Besides, I heard that Mr. Zhao has been doing artillery sighting work in the north, and you are very good at trigonometry. This little thing stumps you ?”

Zhao Xin said with a wry smile: "Mr. Li, this is full of tears, it is purely to drive ducks to the shelves! Please help me." However, he never dared to say that his highest score in physics back then was only 43. Didn't even learn the power.
One acute angle of the rhomboid antenna will be connected to the feeder and the amplifier box, and then connected to the radio, and the other acute angle will be connected to a terminal resistor equal to the characteristic impedance of the rhomboid antenna.

The communication station of Huaniao Island is located in a gentle place halfway up the mountain. The workers from Beihai Town who accompanied the ship first leveled the land here, and first set up a tent. The small diesel generator that supplies power to the station is also located here.

On the flat base below, other workers are leveling the land with tools and building camps and warehouses.Considering that the work would not be finished within seven or eight days, Zhao Xin asked the correspondent to test the machine after the radio station was set up to see if he could reach Beihai Town and Sheyang Lake Grange.The correspondent adjusted the equipment and called for a long time. Beihai Town was connected, but there was no response from Sheyang Lake Station; Zhao Xin guessed that the setup there had not yet been completed.

The radio stations and correspondents on the side of Sheyang Lake transferred back to the sandboats that came to transport the refugees when the Raytheon was on its way to Jingzhou Island.At the same time, Shen Jingdan, Dizhihu's mother and son, Shen Xuan and Guisheng were also going back on the sandboat with them.

This time, Shen Jingdan was going to take Di Zhihu's mother and son back to worship the ancestors in the ancestral hall, and by the way, kowtow to Madam Shen for tea.He also wanted to mobilize the Shen family to follow him to Beihai Town.Shen Xuan, on the other hand, accompanied Shen Jingdan's wife to persuade her stepmother, and at the same time prepared the dowry.

Zhao Xinyuan wanted to say that there is no need to make such a fuss, but this is the etiquette of this year.Rich people are extravagant in marrying and even sending dead people, while poor people even resort to the extreme method of drowning female babies in order to avoid the embarrassment caused by dowry.

The Shen family was considered a wealthy family in Yangzhou City, Shen Jingdan didn't want Zhao Xin to look down on the Shen family, so he went all out, and bought a decent dowry to bring back to Beihai Town no matter what.Since houses, land, and shops cannot be taken away, you have to buy dozens of sets of all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, furniture, and clothes throughout the year to take them home.

As far as Shen Xuan is concerned, she herself doesn't want to walk through the door empty-handed.Although she is only Shen Jingdan's adoptive daughter, the Shen family in Dongtai was considered a scholarly family back then, if she simply married herself, she would always feel inferior in this life.

When Zhao Xin heard the reason, he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he had to agree.In order to ensure the safety of Shen Jingdan and the others, Zhao Xin also wrote a letter asking Lu Shoushan to send more people to escort them back to Yangzhou.

The Thunder God stopped at Flower and Bird Island for five or six days, during which time the servant Wang Ping sent by He Shen didn't dare to urge him. The person who responded in Guangzhou missed it.Liu Zheng told him calmly that if there were no wind and waves, he would be able to reach the sea off Macau in at most two days.

When Wang Ping heard this, he couldn't close his mouth in surprise for a long time. He didn't expect the speed of Thor to be so fast, so he could only wait in peace.

As for the Manchu court, on July 27, the big event that frightened Liu Quan half to death and delayed his coming to Huaniao Island to make a fortune finally came to fruition.

It will be back to the end of May for the first signs of this matter to emerge.He Shen, who was accompanying the driver in the Mulan paddock, suddenly saw Wu Shengqin who came from the capital to report in the middle of the night.As a result, I learned from the other party that Cao Xibao, the supervisory censor of Shaanxi Province, wanted to participate in the impeachment of Liu Quan!In his memorial, he said that Liu Quan "used extravagantly and had perfect utensils; relying on the dominant position, bluffing and deceiving; handing over officials, privately increasing taxes." and other serious crimes.

After hearing the shocking news, He Shen immediately realized that this matter was not that simple. Someone must be instigating behind it.So he ordered his cronies to rush back to Beijing overnight, and ordered Liu Quan to deal with all the prohibited places mentioned in the memorial as soon as possible, while pretending that he didn't know anything.

Liu Quan, who was preparing to go south at the time, received the news, and was like a pot of ice water for three or nine days.On the night of the day when the news was received, the Liu residence in Xinghuasi Street, Shichahai was full of turmoil, and the relatives and servants of the Liu family were all busy transferring and concealing criminal evidence. Afterwards, these people demolished the overridden gate of the Liu family overnight. , made some adjustments.

Although Liu Quan wanted to kill Cao Xibao, he had to pretend to be calm.At the same time, he strictly ordered his family members and servants to tuck their tails and restrain themselves for a period of time.

At the beginning of June, Cao Xibao, who didn't know that he was betrayed by his friends, handed over the memorial to the Summer Resort. After reading it, Qianlong asked Heshen face to face if there was any such thing.

He Shen pretended that Liu Quan had always been safe and simple, and he was very strict with his family. He had never heard that he dared to make trouble outside.Perhaps it was because Liu Quan was busy managing the Chongwenmen Tax Customs, and his subordinates were undisciplined. After a long time, there might be troubles, so please send an order to investigate the serious cases.

On June [-]th, Liu Quan, who received the edict, set off from Beijing and arrived in Rehe five days later.After meeting He Shen, the two of them naturally had to do a full set of acting.So He Shen didn't mention Cao Xibao a word in the notebook that day, but only said that Liu Quan had arrived in Rehe, the minister had been interrogated face to face, and the interrogation record had been published.But this is just Liu Quan's one-sided statement, and I'm afraid it cannot be accepted.However, the lord and ministers who stayed in Beijing for business might have something to question. Liu Quan could not stay in Rehe, and the minister immediately sent "appropriate" people to escort Liu Quan back to Beijing, and handed him over to the ministers staying in Beijing for interrogation.

On the same day, Prince Yi Yonglang, Wang Yongrong of Zhijun, Wang Mianen of Dingjun, Ji Huang, Minister of Military Aircraft, Debao, Minister of Internal Affairs, and Ji Yun, who were in Beijing, received Qianlong's four-hundred-mile urgent imperial decree. After that, I immediately interviewed Cao Xibao.

Cao Xibao said that I don't know Liu Tuzi (Liu Quan), and I don't know about his management of Chongwenmen.I just heard that Baldy Liu lived in a perfect house, so I took a closer look when passing by Xinghua Temple Street, and saw that the house was very tall.Baldy Liu is just a slave, how could he have the money to build such a tall and spacious house?I was afraid that there would be too many subordinates in He Zhongtang's family, and I was afraid that there would be fraudulent activities in the name of the master; the family members were not able to be inspected and controlled when they were doing business outside, and they might be troubled in the future.Therefore, there is no real evidence for playing immediately.

The next day, after receiving the memorial from Beijing, Qianlong already understood that it was Cao Xibao who wanted to impeach Heshen, but did not dare to say it clearly, so he borrowed the servant's sidelines.The old emperor then continued to issue an order to the responsible kings and ministers in Beijing, saying that if He Shen committed fraud for personal gain, if he presented evidence, I would punish him.However, Minister Wang's family in Beijing also has a lot of servants, and it is estimated that there are many houses in a family like Quan'er.I heard that Agui's house has more servants than Quan'er's house, so why no one sued?Cao Xibao wanted to sue someone, and he had to come up with real evidence, and he couldn't let him just quibble anymore!

By this time, gossip was already circulating in the court that Cao Xibao's mastermind was Ji Yun.As soon as Ji Yun saw that he was going to be implicated, he quickly cleared himself in the memorial.

On June [-]th, Liu Quan returned to Beijing, still talking the same way.I don’t know, I don’t know, my family has a little savings, the house is a bit too much, but I don’t have anything else.

On June 22, the Metropolitan Procuratorate sent a court official by order, and the infantry commander's yamen sent a secretary to Liu Quan's house with his subordinates and Cao Xibao to look at the house.When Cao Xibao arrived at Xinghuasi Street, he was dumbfounded!
The over-made house gate that I saw before has completely changed its appearance. The hexagonal carved column door pins have been changed from four to two; Bronze decoration shop head; the most obvious is that the original gate of gold pillars (named after the door stands between the gold pillars at the front, non-officials cannot use it) has been changed into the wishful gate of ordinary people, and the door nail on the original vermilion lacquer gate is a They are all gone, and the red lacquer has been changed to black lacquer.

After entering the courtyard, there was nothing luxurious. The members of the Liu family were all wearing patched clothes.There is neither camera nor video in this year, so Cao Xibao can only bow his head and admit his failure.

So the ministers of the king of Beijing reported that Cao Xibao had falsely accused Liu Quan and alluded to He Shen, which should be handed over to the Ministry for discussion.And Liang Guozhi and Dong Gao, who were instigating behind the scenes, and other Qing school leaders, saw that the matter had come to an end, and also cast aside themselves one after another, and asked for Cao Xibao to be punished.

In July, Cao Xibao, who was sent to Rehe by order, bowed his head and admitted that he was presumptuous in doing things after being questioned by Qianlong himself, and he only reported it based on hearsay.He also said that this year is the year of the township examination, and he wanted to let the emperor remember it through the paperwork, so that he could be the chief examiner.

On July [-]th, the edict came down. ". If you lower the tone according to the ministry's proposal, you deserve it. The first time I read that the censor was a speech officer, and I didn't know the truth for a while. Based on the scholar's rigid view, I entrusted it with the correct words and presented the performance. I wrote Jia En Instead, he will be dismissed and stay in office, and this circular will be made known both at home and abroad."

On July 27th, Cao Xibao appeared on Xie En Zhezi.

So far, a Qing school's attempt to get rid of He Shen has failed.
