Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 298 Prelude to the Summer Exercise
Why did Zhao Xin say such a thing?
In fact, he wanted to express Beihai Town's intention to the island country through Lin Ziping and Sato Nobuhiro, that is, China has always been there, and none of you should try to take away the right to speak of Chinese culture.And occupying this right to speak means that no matter whether it is the island country, Li Dynasty or Annan, they should stop trying to take advantage of the territory from the pro-vassal system.

Yes, Zhao Xin's purpose is the territorial issue.

The first thing he did was to overthrow the tribute system in "Emperor Ming Zu Xun".That is to say, China is surrounded by the four barbarians, and outside the four barbarians are the vassal states; and the role of the vassal states is to form a barrier between China and foreign countries.

In history, whether it was the Ming Dynasty or the Dai Qing Dynasty, the attitude towards the vassal state's occupation of the land of the barbarians was indifferent, and it didn't matter if it was more or less.

Of course, the reason why Dai Qing and Li Chao surveyed the border in the first place was because the outside of the pass was the place where the Manchus lived.But just like that, Li Chao still used the vague concept of place names to swallow the southern area of ​​Jiangyuan south of Hunchun.

It is already obvious what the vassal states are. They will never be willing to contribute to the Chinese civilization just because they respect Confucianism and call themselves China.As long as the old empire weakens, it can't wait to jump up and take a big bite.

It's just that the British, French and Russian ghosts and beasts have even bigger fists, and the vassal states can't beat them for the time being, so they just become grandchildren; but as long as they become stronger, they all want to be the masters of the world!

In Zhao Xin's view, what the later generations of the island countries did could not be more obvious. When they launched the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], they used the banner of "expelling the Tartars".Later, they proposed that "there is no China after Yashan". On the surface, they were creating a tragic plot of Chinese civilization, but on the inside, they were showing that they were the successors of Chinese civilization who were "dressed in Tang and Song Dynasties".

(So ​​you understand why the Japanese mainstream doesn’t think it’s a mistake to invade China? They are using the banner of China to save the Han people, so why do you always want us to apologize?)
Don't talk about "a country without conquest", I won't take an inch of land that is yours, and I have to take back everything that is not yours!
It took Lin Ziping a long time to understand the meaning of Zhao Xin's words.When he returned to his residence at night, he said to Nobuhito Sato worriedly: "Zhao Dian's meaning is obvious. He doesn't intend to follow the ancestral teachings of the former Ming Dynasty. He wants to turn barbarians into Xia! Manchus, Mongols, Fei People from Yaka. It’s ridiculous that I’m still talking about the barbarians, but I don’t know that there are no barbarians in Zhao Wangdian’s eyes, or the vassal state is the barbarians.”

Sato Nobubuchi asked in puzzlement, "What do you mean by that, teacher?"

Lin Ziping sighed: "You are too young to know many things. As far back as the 24th year of Zhengping in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, that is, the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Ming Taizu once issued an edict to enshrine fifteen feudal clans including our country and the Li Dynasty. The country is listed as a "country that will not be conquered", and it is clearly ordered that future generations are not allowed to conquer it arbitrarily. If Zhao Dian wins the world, Ezo, Huatai Island, and even Ryukyu, don't think about it in the future."

Nobubuchi Sato was surprised: "Ryukyu? What does Ryukyu have to do with our country?"

Lin Ziping looked at the candlelight in front of him, and said quietly, "Yuan Hai, do you know the height of the stones in Satsuma Clan?"

Nobubuchi Sato thought for a while and replied, "77 shi."

"It's actually 90 shi, and it's the second most powerful feudal clan in the world after the Kaga clan. If Zhao Dian takes Ryukyu back, the Shimadzu family may not even be able to reach 60 shi!"

Nobubuchi Sato suddenly realized when he heard this, and asked worriedly: "Teacher, what do you mean?! This is not good. It seems that I must write to my friends in Satsuma after I go back."

"I'm afraid Zhao Dian just wanted you to do this! What he said during the day was too strange. I didn't understand why he told us this until now. He is shaking the mountain."

Sato Nobuhito thought for a long time, and finally said with difficulty: "Teacher, according to the students, for the present plan, Japan can only follow Zhao Dian's footsteps and assist him to dominate the world, so that there will be no danger of destroying the country."

Hehe, Zhao Xin probably would never have dreamed that what he said during the day turned the historical Sato Nobubuchi who advocated "Japan-centrism" and even advocated the annexation of China, and then expanded to the whole of Asia until he became the world's hegemon. Chinese powder.

Cannons teach people how to behave!It has been used in ancient and modern China and abroad, and it is especially applicable to island countries.

In a blink of an eye, it was the beginning of February.Heita sent back news from the island country that the old buildings in Jugaohama and Yokohama Village outside Ishinomaki Port have been demolished, and they are waiting for Beihai Town to send people to build a business hall.

In mid-February, Jinglei took a construction team of 500 people and corresponding construction machinery, plus two companies of soldiers, and set off for the island country; Liu Zheng, an insignificant trade representative stationed in the island country, also went with him. Going to see what business opportunities there are.

Among the passengers going south to the island country this time, Sato Nobutuchi also traveled with the ship carrying a handwritten letter from Lin Ziping. He planned to go ashore quietly in the Sendai Domain, and then persuade a group of intellectuals who were proficient in orchid studies to serve in Beihai Town.

In order to prevent Liu Zheng from being beaten to the ground by sugar-coated bullets when he went to the island country, Zhao Xin took him and Zhang Bo back for a visit three days before their departure.Still the same thing, if you want to marry a wife in this time and space, you must think clearly; don't finish eating, then wipe your mouth and leave, Zhao Xin doesn't care about those bad things like wiping your ass.

At present, the work of the training base is almost on the right track. The officer's short-term training course has been held for four sessions, and there are still two sessions left. The junior rotation training for the entire Beihai Town officer is considered to be completed.The next step is to formulate an exercise plan to test the training results.

"The time is set in June, and we will start after the end of spring plowing." Zhao Xin explained the general arrangement of the exercise to everyone present, and ordered Sheng Haizhou to make a plan first.

In the conference room, Wang Yuanfang, Wu Siyu, and Ding Guofeng were smoking and listening, while Sheng Haizhou took a few small staff members to record.

At this time, Wang Yuanfang raised his hand and asked, "What is the scale of this confrontation?"

"Regiment level confrontation, many exercises. All regiments are pulled out to practice. The method is still the same, divided into red and blue armies, one side is the main attack, and the other side is the main defense." Zhao Xin wrote on the blackboard while explaining.

Wang Yuanfang said: "That is to say hello to camping training, soil work, and live ammunition shooting?"

"Yes! All up."

Wang Yuanfang nodded and said, "Good guy! The consumption of bullets alone is overwhelming."

"Don't worry about this, I'll talk about it later." After Zhao Xin finished speaking, he got up and walked to the blackboard in the meeting room, picked up the chalk and began to write.

It is said that a field military exercise needs to consider many aspects, and Zhao Xin intends to use this exercise to improve the paperwork and coordination capabilities of the staff department, and to discover problems in various aspects of the troops in a timely manner so that they can be adjusted as soon as possible. .

The staff department where Sheng Haizhou works has a huge workload in the exercise.First of all, it is necessary to determine the number of exercise troops and the scale of the confrontation, and then formulate the combat organization and battle sequence of the red and blue armies according to this.At the same time, they also have to formulate rules and regulations during the exercise, coordinate communications, discipline, and logistics support.

Looking at Zhao Xin's densely written large piece on the blackboard, Sheng Haizhou and a few small staff members kept wiping away their sweat, thinking that this is really a rush to put ducks on the shelves-it's embarrassing!

Zhao Xin threw the chalk on the table, and said to Sheng Haizhou and the others: "I have taught you all winter. It is the mule or the horse that always needs to be taken out for a walk. Do it boldly. This is the first time for us. We are not afraid of making mistakes, but we are afraid of mistakes." Do."

Sheng Haizhou tremblingly asked: "Then, where is the exercise?"

Zhao Xinxiang thought for a while and said, "It will be arranged ten kilometers east of Fuerdan City, within a radius of twenty kilometers of the exercise site. Next month, you and Lin Ziping's surveying and mapping team will set off together. A map is drawn."

Wu Siyu raised his hand and said, "The area span is so large, I'm afraid it's too late. What month do you plan to start this exercise?"

Zhao Xindao: "First set it in mid-June, the army must take a rest after busy spring plowing."

Sheng Haizhou was stunned and said, "You mean this year's spring plowing troops will still participate?"

"Of course! From top to bottom, everyone must participate. We have to bring at least 5 people here this year. If the food is not resolved, everything else is useless."

In mid-March, the "Beihai Town Summer Exercise Order" was finally formulated, and began to be distributed to platoon-level officers level by level, and notified to the entire army.

The entire order is divided into ten items, including the date of the exercise, the director's department, communications, signals, prohibition regulations, damage compensation and hazard prevention, ordnance and ammunition management regulations for the exercise, military supplies, clothing and flags, and transportation and return after the exercise.

According to the "Exercise Order", the training base in Beihai Town was upgraded to a training headquarters. Zhao Xin, Wang Yuanfang, Wu Siyu, Liu Sheng, Ding Guofeng, and Sheng Haizhou formed the director department, set up special agencies, and assigned relevant military and political parties Personnel are specifically responsible.

At this time, Yu Deli, as the head of the propaganda department under the director department, proposed that Beihai Town should form a military band.

I'll fuck it!Zhao Xin almost turned over from his chair when he heard this.

If you want to find people who play suona, flute, and sanxian among the refugees, you can find them everywhere, but where can you find someone who can play brass instruments?I asked the whole Beihai town, including Pereira and Father Ma, but none of them would answer.

Everyone in the director's department thought about the scene, the thumping drum, the ticking suona, the rumbling sanxian, the whole boxer marching scene.

Tsk tsk, forget it!

Zhao Xinyu persuaded earnestly: "Old Yu, the propaganda team can be set up first, and the Allegro Pingshu and even Bangzi opera can be performed first. As for the military band, you'd better wait until I find some French missionaries from Macau."

Yu Deli had no choice but to give up when he heard it.

It is said that the director department still has a very important job, the exercise judge.Zhao Xin really didn't understand this, so the task fell to Wang Yuanfang who had participated in the most exercises.Wang Yuanfang, who had just been awarded the title of commander of the training department, had to transfer ten students from the Junior Military Academy to take on the task of judging the exercise.

The next one is the Military Judiciary Department, where military judges and gendarmerie teams will be set up, and Lu Shoushan will be in charge of this matter.Poor Lu Shoushan just came out of the officer's short-term training class, and just now he thought that this time he was finally out of the spy career and could lead the army.Unexpectedly, a hat fell off, and he was promoted to the chief of the Military Law Department.

One day later, when Xu Shounan saw Lu Shoushan in the town, he found that Uncle Lu had a sad face and sighed from time to time, so he hurriedly asked what was going on.

Lu Shoushan stroked Xu Shounan's head and sighed, "Oh! I'm so hard!"

Who is not difficult?After the exercise order was issued, Zhao Liang and Chen Qingsong began to spin around.Food, fodder, various equipment, horses, vehicles, and clothing have all been prepared.All the women at home in Beihai Town were mobilized to make clothes and shoes, and they were very busy every day.

The bullet production line in the workshop finally started production. Among all the materials needed, except for the copper skin, which was processed by the workshop, the others were purchased by Zhao Xin.And due to the lack of proficiency of workers, the scrap rate is high, so that the daily production volume is only [-] rounds.

You must know that although the production line that Zhao Xin bought is only second-hand equipment, if it is fully powered, the daily production capacity will be more than 50 rounds.

With the launch of several production lines one after another, especially the start-up of the iron-making and steel-making furnaces, another shortcoming of Beihai Town's industrialization has been revealed, that is, the lack of electricity!
As far as Zhao Xin is concerned, he has no idea whether to buy a few more [-]-megawatt diesel generators or build a thermal power plant, so he called Chen Qingsong, Zhao Liang, and Zhang Bo to the meeting that night. Have a meeting to discuss together.

Chen Qingsong said: "I have read some information, how can a small coal-fired power plant have an installed capacity of [-] megawatts, which is not better than buying a generator? Even a thermal power plant with an installed capacity of [-] megawatts, I think Good deal."

The so-called installed capacity is how much power is generated per hour, and 100 megawatts means that the generating set is running at full load and generating 10 kWh per hour.

Zhao Liang said: "We can't solve the equipment problem by ourselves, but we can train a group of workers by building a power plant, and small equipment can be copied gradually. I think this is a good opportunity to improve our overall technical level."

Seeing Zhao Xin looking at him, Zhang Bo hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhao, I'm a welder, not an electrician. It's a thousand miles away!"

"You really didn't pursue it, you are still the boss of the oil group!"

"But I really can't work as an electrician. I don't even have an electrician's certificate. Besides, I have to go back to Bitterleaf Island in April."

Zhao Xin thought so too, Zhang Bo had to preside over the indigenous oil refining, there was no need to drag him in.

Chen Qingsong said: "Zhao Xin, you really need to find a professional for this matter. The construction of thermal power plants is too professional! Everyone really can't play with this matter. Once something happens, it will be a big deal."

Zhao Xin nodded slowly.I am not an all-rounder, and I have a specialization in art. With these two knives or even no knives, the current development of Beihai Town has entered a bottleneck. Right now, I urgently need a few professionals. It seems that I have to go back and recruit Daqi, fool around again.

Since the establishment of the trust fund, Zhao Xin feels that the issue of confidentiality is no longer an issue, and it is not a matter of deceiving people to kill and set fire. Who is still struggling with money these days, it is nothing more than a question of how much.

Anyway, there are gold mines everywhere under Beihai Township.Solenji Island, Urup Island, the Konomai Mine in Ezo, and even the "abandoned" Lingkari Jinshan Zhao Xin in the Satsuma Domain territory did not intend to let go.At present, there is not enough manpower and equipment. If the conditions are sufficient, thousands of kilograms of gold a year will be enough.

Besides, there is still the other side of the ocean that no one has developed yet.
Just do it, Zhao Xin hastily explained the affairs at hand, and returned to China two days later.When he told his cousin, Cheng Wei was dumbfounded.

"Ah? Why are you still recruiting?"

"The project is too big, and now there is a shortage of electricity in that place."

"Brother, what kind of work do you do?"

"Support the construction of backward areas."

"Okay! You are awesome, you have all gone abroad for support."

Two days later, several large recruitment websites opened a special page, XX company recruited thermal power industry staff to work abroad.

Thanks to the policy of shutting down small thermal power plants with backward production capacity in various places in the past two years, on the first day when the recruitment content was sent out, hundreds of resumes of applicants made Zhao Xin almost dazzled.

After looking at them for two days, he finally selected seven or eight candidates from among dozens of resumes of factory director candidates, and started calling and interviewing them one by one.Zhao Xin's strategy is to find a candidate for the factory manager first. This person must understand construction and management. As for energy conservation and emission reduction, it doesn't matter at all.

With the factory manager, there is a way to plan the drawings, and the staff below are not a problem.
