Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 316 Unexpected Visitors During the Military Parade

Although there was a well-organized team of [-] soldiers in front of them, to all the people who traveled through, after a closer look after being shocked, this is really nothing.

Whether it's weapons or military appearance, not to mention that it is completely incomparable with the army in another time and space, this height alone is too embarrassing.There is no one over 1.7 meters in the audience, and anyone who can reach 1.6 meters is considered a big man!

In the entire phalanx, the most conspicuous weapon is the twelve D30-122 howitzers, in addition to dozens of 2B14 82mm mortars.As for the rifles, machine guns, etc., there is really nothing to see, they are all old-fashioned goods; the most terrible thing is that there are not even a tank or an armored vehicle.After waking up, a group of puppet soldiers fancied that this Zhao Xin is too picky, why is he not even worthy of an armored vehicle and a helicopter?
As a result, the discussion among the time-travelers quickly changed from how to beat the Western European countries in this time and space, to whether they can win against Ah San or the monkey in another time and space.In the end, the unanimous opinion of everyone is that the Beihai Navy can also be compared with those in Africa, and that must be done under the premise of having "five pairs of load wheels".

At this moment, Zhao Xin and the others heard that the cross-travelers and other representatives had arrived, so they walked from the rest area to the viewing platform to show their welcome.

When the old men at the education gate saw Zhao Xin and his outfits, they frowned; and when Fan Tong and the others saw Zhao Xin, Liu Sheng, Wang Yuanfang and Wu Siyu, they immediately shouted "I Rely on" sound.

Zhao Xin and the four of them were all wearing the field marshal uniforms of the German Army during World War II (forgive me, I really dare not write anything else), breeches and boots were also available, and they even wore big-brimmed hats on their heads.It's just that the cap badge was replaced with the golden circle five stars on the military flag, and the decorations on the collar badge were not cornflowers, but general stars embroidered with gold thread; Zhao Xin had two, and the other three had two. is one.As for the Iron Cross, the Swastika Eagle and so on, they were all replaced with various medals issued by Beihai Town before.

Cao Peng waited for Zhao Xin and the others to come up to him, and exclaimed, "Brother, don't you need to be so exaggerated!" After speaking, he reached out to touch the fabric and found that it was still made of wool.

Of course, Zhao Xin would not say that he specially asked someone to order it, but said with a faint smile: "No problem, Mi Jun's is too ugly, and the British one is so dirty, let's change it to deal with it."

After the four of them said a few words and left, a group of young and middle-aged migrant workers looked at each other tacitly, and cursed secretly: "Four pretenders!"

Compared with the dozens of time-travelers, the people from this time and space are the ones who are most shocked.When representatives from all walks of life, including Shen Jingdan, Wang Zhong, Wang Xichen and others, stepped onto the viewing platform, they all fell into a state of sluggishness, opening their mouths wide and letting their saliva fall onto their clothes.

Shen Jingdan is fairly well-informed among these people. After all, he was involved when Zhao Xin bombarded Nagasaki.But when tens of thousands of Bei Haijun gathered together, Shen Jingdan gasped, but he soon fell into ecstasy, and the expression on his face became very complacent.

I read the right person, Zhao Xin has such a strong army, why worry about the world!

And Wang Zhong is just a scholar, not to mention the Bei Hai Hai who looks like this, he has never even seen the Musket Battalion of the Green Camp, at most he has only seen a few soldiers guarding the gate of Yangzhou City.He pointed to the D30 with a towering muzzle in the distance, and asked Shen Jingdan: "Brother Zhengtong, what is that?"

Shen Jingdan smiled faintly, and thought that Wang Zhong really got the point of asking, and if the other party pointed a machine gun and asked, he would not be able to answer.

"cannon."

"What kind of cannon can be built so long?"

Shen Jingdan twirled his beard and laughed, "Cannons can hit fifty li!" By the way, his source of information is also a shortened version.

Wang Zhonghe and the audience next to him were dumbfounded on the spot, fifty miles?Let's talk bible!The waist-thick cannon next door is only twenty or thirty miles away.

Representatives from civil affairs, schools and various residential communities were all smiling.For those former mud legs, no matter whether they understand it or not, it is a great honor to be able to watch the ceremony, and they can sing for a lifetime when they go back.Besides, they even saw the combine harvester a few days ago, no matter how big the D30 is, can it be as big as the harvester?

"Cut~~ These scholars are really making a fuss!" Zhu Dagui pursed his lips, muttering to the group leaders of the residents beside him.Those few people listened, and they all nodded in agreement.

For Zhu Dagui and the others, the stronger the Beihai Navy, the more secure their life is now.If Bei Haijun can win against the imperial court, the [-] mu of land he has been allocated will not be confiscated by the Manchu government, and this day will be better.As for whether they can win against "that broken wheel" and that lily, it has nothing to do with them.

Among the crowd watching the ceremony, apart from Wang Zhenyi, who was dressed in men's clothing, who was silent beside her father, Shen Xuan, A Miao, Tang Xiao and others who were wearing veils gathered together and murmured, which attracted the attention of everyone on and off the stage.

As the eyes of the girls wandered, they soon saw Zhao Xin and the others walking towards them.

When Wang Zhenyi saw Zhao Xin, she couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat. Suddenly she saw Zhao Xin waving to her, her pretty face turned red, and she wondered why this man was like this.Just about to stare at the other party, Zhao Xin turned around and left.

When Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng came down to the field and arrived at the right wing of the parade troops, military music blared from the four loudspeakers on both sides of the parade platform.

At this time, the four mounted their horses, and with Zhao Xin as the leader, they began to inspect the troops one by one from the right wing to the left wing of the formation.The four horses they rode had all been trained, and they were not afraid of such a big scene, and they walked slowly and slowly according to the master's intention.

At this time, Wang Zhong and other scholars on the stage saw that when Zhao Xin and the others rode by on horseback, all the ministries stood at attention with their guns, and their military appearance was strict. Thousands of people acted like one, shouting "Long live", "We must win" and so on in unison. He couldn't help being surprised and said: "I look at the history books, and only the Qin and Han Dynasties can have such military power!"

Shen Jingdan on the side stared at Zhao Xin intently, and said triumphantly: "No. Brother Rong Fu, such a powerful army has never existed before. If the Northern Navy sends troops south, the Tartars will be destroyed!"

Zhao Xin, who was riding on a horse, looked at the phalanx of thousands of people in front of him, and his heart was extremely excited. He and Liu Sheng had been working hard day and night for the past four years, and finally came to where they are today.

A few like-minded friends started from that small camp on Bear Island, and now occupy 10,000+ square kilometers of land; from a team of more than 300 refugees, to today's 10,000+ well-fed people, tens of thousands of troops under their command.The scenes of the past few years flashed in his mind, and he was a little scared when he recalled the dangers he had encountered.

Isn't this more valuable than lying on the money and waiting to die, collecting rent from the 1st to the 31st?
He also thought that in the spring of next year, tens of thousands of troops would march westward, and thousands of troops would cross the Mongolian grasslands. A desire to control power would gradually arise in his heart, and this time it would be more violent than before.

But at the same time, another thought arose in his heart, saying that he was lonely and had no friends.
After the military parade was over, Zhao Xin and the others returned to the parade stand, and the troops to be reviewed were prepared to march according to the type of arms and accept the review of everyone on the stage.

Following Wang Yuanfang's order, the troops to be reviewed passed through in turn according to the military type and battalion as a unit.In order to prevent the ground from being covered with dust, this time there was no goose step, and all the ministries proceeded at normal speeds.Even so, patches of smoke and dust rose up from the venue, choking Zhao Xin to cough.

After the ministries passed the parade stand and viewing stand, they immediately returned to the camp according to the plan made in advance. After having dinner in the evening, they will return to their respective camps tomorrow.Among them, except for the fifth regiment that needs to return to Beihai Town, the other three regiments will stay in Fuldan City so that they can take action after the beginning of spring next year.

Just as the audience left by car, Chen Jishan led a person to Zhao Xin.

When the man saw Zhao Xin, he first bowed and saluted, and then said excitedly, "My lord! This subordinate has finally met your lord!"

When Zhao Xin saw it, he widened his eyes in surprise and asked, "Pingtai? Why are you back?"

At this time, only Liu Sheng and the other three were left beside Zhao Xin, as well as their adjutants, and there were no outsiders, so Ping Tai hurriedly said: "I came back on the boat of Sheng Shandensan, and Shibata Juezang also came with me. .He is now waiting in the post house (guest house) to be summoned by your lord."

Zhao Xin was still in a state of excitement at this time, he didn't even think about it and said casually: "What happened?"

"My lord, Date Shigemura is dead!"

Zhao Xin hadn't recalled this meeting yet, he blinked and looked at Pingtai in a daze: "Who died?"

In the courtyard next to the Fuerdan Town Hall, Shibata Juezang was walking around the house anxiously; all he could think about at this moment was how to ask Zhao Xin to send troops after seeing Zhao Xin.

Date Shigemura has been dead for more than a month.The seventh-generation feudal lord of the Sendai clan of the Mutsu Kingdom and the No. 20 third-generation lord of the Date clan died in an assassination at the age of 45; he died ten years earlier than in the history of another time and space.The real culprit who killed Date Shigemura was none other than the Tokugawa shogunate; but it was the Satsuma clan who did it.

In fact, since Zhao Xin bombarded Edo Bay last year and forced the Tokugawa shogunate to sign the "Kanagawa Agreement", the Sendai Fan has been completely hated.However, at that time, the general, his own father, Tokugawa Harasada, on behalf of the shogunate, assured Beihai Town that he would never pursue the Sendai feudal clan, and Date Shigemura was spared;

However, although Date Shigemura escaped by chance, he will never go back to Green Leaf City in this life.Not only him, but even his first wife Dun Ji and his second son Shiki Saburo (the eldest son has died) can only live in the house under the Edo Castle.Fortunately, it was not too far from Aoba Castle to Edo, and it would take a day or two to get there quickly, so there was no big problem in handling government affairs.

Unexpectedly, after the New Year this year, the news that Ishikawa Murumi and the others provided six hundred vassal warriors to Beihai Town was leaked, and it didn't take long for it to reach Tokugawa Harasada, which shocked the Tokugawa shogunate.

What on earth do these people from the Sendai clan want to do?What kind of conspiracy is Date Shigemura going to do?Last year, I gave away [-]. Are you going to give away another [-] this year?The shogunate knew how powerful Beihai Town was.If the Sendai Clan colluded thoroughly with Beihai Town and became a "Japanese traitor", the foundation of the Tokugawa family would be in jeopardy!

Since Cyclops Masamune, the Tokugawa family has guarded against the Sendai clan for 200 years like a thief. They gave away their son and tried their best to empty out the Sendai clan's finances. Beihai Town.

The throne of his son was threatened, so the general's father and father-in-law got together to discuss countermeasures.Tokugawa Harasada said that it would be a good idea to kill Date Shigemura. His son Shikisaburo is just 12 years old this year, so he can't make any big waves.

Shigeho Shimadzu said that I came to find a dead man to assassinate, to ensure that no one would know who did it.

And Baihe Hou Songping, who has already taken the post of the head of the old middle school, said that it is not good to send people to assassinate, it is better to poison Yida Zhongcun to death, and then he will die suddenly from the wind and cold.Once the imperial doctor sent by the shogunate talked about wind and cold, no one dared to say that it was diarrhea!

So what kind of poison is used so that it will not be discovered by those subordinates of the Sendai Fan?Shigeho Shimadzu said that you two should leave it alone, I will find someone to handle this matter, and keep it so that Date Shigemura will not live until August [-]th.

It is said that in history, the father-in-law Shigeho Shimadzu, the father-in-law of the seal seal, was the 25th generation head of the Shimadzu family and the eighth generation lord of the Satsuma domain. He was also known as "General Takanawa Dismounted". The affairs are deeply involved, and the position is high.

When he said this, Tokugawa Harasada and Matsudaira Sadanobu looked at each other first, and then they said nothing, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.After thinking about it carefully, Shigego Shimadzu understood what the two of them meant. This is obviously because they are afraid of me!
So the father-in-law of the general 様 swears as a witness that after killing Date Shigemura, I will abdicate and pass the governor of the house to my son.

As soon as Tokugawa Harasada and Matsudaira Jonobu heard this, they immediately expressed that there was really Lao Samohou, and the Tokugawa family would never forget this great kindness.In the future, if Samohou sees anyone who is not pleasing to his eyes, we will help you deal with him.Shigeho Shimazu immediately went downhill, saying that I really like Lanxue, and I want to build a Ming Dynasty Museum in Satsuma to study Western astronomy.

Matsudaira Sadanobu is a firm believer in the Zhuzi School, and has long been dissatisfied with the rise of Lanxue everywhere. Since he became an old middle school, he has planned to free up his hands in two years to clean up these Lanxue scholars.But for Shigego Shimadzu's request, he immediately agreed.

Sure enough, not long after the three of them met and decided on a plan, Date Shigemura began to suffer from minor illnesses. After half a year, this person really couldn't eat the dumplings on August [-]th. died.Afterwards, the imperial doctor sent by the shogunate announced after an examination that the Marquis of Sendai had caught a cold at the beginning of the year, and he could not heal for a long time, and finally passed away with regret.

The problem is that it's enough to fool the common people with such things as assassination, and it's really nonsense to want to deceive the retainers of the Sendai Fan.Especially Shibata Kakuzo, who has been the head of the Sendai domain for several years - that is, the secret agent; it is not too easy to find a master who is good at using poison.I went to the Edo house in disguise, carefully asked Date Shigemura about the details before and after the onset of illness, and then looked at the actions of the genealogical daimyos and clan daimyos over the past year, and almost everything was clear.

When the news came back to the Sendai Fan, all the retainers were in danger, especially those little daimyos who sent samurai to Beihai Town, they were in a state of panic all day long, for fear that they would be the next one to be cleaned up by the shogunate.

However, to compete with the shogunate with the current strength of the Date family is tantamount to a pile of shit shouting at Mount Fuji; without strong foreign aid, no one in the Date family wants to be a fly around shit
In such a tense atmosphere of life and death, Ishikawa Cunwen gritted his teeth and made a secret connection with other sects, and finally decided to let Shibata Juezang go to Beihai Town on behalf of the Date family to borrow money from Zhao Wangdian. Soldiers, to avenge Date Shigemura.

Of course, the Sendai clan would not dare to attack Edo and fight the Tokugawa shogunate. After all, the next Patriarch is still a hostage in Edo Castle!Therefore, the target of the Sendai Fan's revenge was aimed at the Satsuma Fan.
