Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 373 The Remnants of the Heaven and Earth Society
On the morning of September 1788, 9, the fleet of immigrants departing from Xingkai Lake Wharf had arrived in Burleigh Town.Construction is being carried out everywhere here, and the explosion-proof wall frames transported from the Beihai Town Iron and Steel Plant are stacked up into mountains.

Obviously, this will be the fourth town built by Beihai Town after Fuldan City and Whale Town.

Since the Yuan Dynasty, Khabarovsk has been known as the "Yaoqi Station". At that time, it was the No. 20 third station for the Marshal's Mansion from Nuergan, which was leading from Liaoning to Heilongjiang Estuary.As a hub guarding the five water and land transportation arteries, Khabarovsk has a very important strategic position in the entire outer northeast.

In 1616, the first year of the Mandate of Heaven, Nurhaci sent two thousand generals, Darhan and Shuo Weng Keluo, to expedition to the East China Sea Sakhalian Department, took eleven villages, and recruited 40 chiefs of the Dog Department, including Khabarovsk .

In another time and space, just after the "Aihui Treaty" was signed, Tsarist Russia occupied this place and used it as a frontier military fortress for invading Northeast China, thus devouring more than 100 million square kilometers of land in the Outer Northeast.

As a subordinate village of the deputy capital of the three surnames, when Zhao Xin led his troops to Boli Village a few months ago, there were more than 30 Hezhe families.

In fact, Zhao Xin and the others also passed by Boli when they went to Tlin Shiji before, and they had nodding acquaintances with the local Hezhe leaders, and gave them food, cloth, iron needles and thread.When Liu Sheng married Wu Xiha at the beginning of this year, the leader of Boli Village also went to Balke Village to have a wedding wine.

Zhao Xin used three thousand catties of grain, one hundred iron pots, one hundred boxes of matches, and other odds and ends to buy a piece of land along the river from the Hezhe head of Boli Village. The deal was fair and both parties were satisfied. .The newly built Boli Town covers an area of ​​about 28 mu, which is almost the size of [-] football fields.

"Everyone has disembarked. We will stop here for an hour before leaving. Be careful not to defecate anywhere!" On the deck of the flat-bottom sailing boat, a squad leader of the Beihai Navy said loudly. "The range of your activities can only be within the area of ​​the town. There are beasts in the woods outside the town, be careful and die!"

Zhang Tinghe from Quanzhou, Fujian, took his wife and children off the boat with the crowd. The family of five timidly watched the people coming and going around them, at a loss as to what to do.

"What's wrong?" The one who spoke was a security policeman on board the ship. Seeing Zhang Tinghe standing on the pier, he came over to ask.

Zhang Tinghe's family was terrified when they saw the black clothes, bowed tremblingly and said, "Master, what are we doing disembarking?"

The security policeman smiled slightly, pointed to a sign on the pier and said, "It's written on it, it's still convenient to eat, just follow the arrows."

Zhang Tinghe hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Oh, thank you, master."

After that, he took his wife and children and walked towards the notice board.The security police behind him kept staring at him, which made Zhang Tinghe feel uncomfortable like a thorn in his back.

No way, who let himself be a Tiandihui?Besides, Zhang Tinghe would not have brought his whole family and Yan Yan to this bitterly cold place in the extreme north by boat if he hadn't lost his way of life.

Ever since Yan Yan and Liao Dong came to Beihai Town last year to try to unite and failed, they didn't leave by boat until the fifteenth day of the first month of this year.But when I went back, it took nearly two months to repair the ship in Ryukyu due to the wind and waves. As a result, I was lucky enough to miss the encirclement and suppression by the Qing army.It was already March when they arrived in Tamsui, Taiwan, and Lin Shuangwen had already been captured by the Qing army in Laoquqi (in the area of ​​Zhunan Township, Miaoli, Taiwan).

People like Yan Yan and Liao Dong have become bereaved dogs at this time. Since Man Qing learned of the inside story of Tiandihui in January this year, Qianlong attached great importance to it.After the two discussed it, they felt that the only way to go to Beihai Town was now.

So they first brought out more than 100 remnants of the Tiandihui and their families from Taiwan and Fujian, and then they went all the way north to Ryukyu, and when they landed in South Kyushu to seek supplies, they were almost cut down by the samurai of Sendai.By the time Date Village Chang, who was in charge of guarding Southern Kyushu, ordered the release, Yan Yan and the others had already been in prison for several months.

Among the people brought out by Yan Yan, most of them joined the Tiandihui before the Lin Shuangwen Rebellion.These people were originally preaching in Taiwan to earn money, but when the war broke out, many of them fled back to Fujian.

In many materials of later generations, the Lin Shuangwen Uprising is often referred to as the "Lin Shuangwen Tiandihui Uprising" or "Lin Shuangwen Uprising led by Tiandihui", which is actually very inaccurate.The reason is that there is no direct causal relationship between Tiandihui and Lin Shuangwen's uprising.

Taiwan in the early Qing Dynasty was an immigrant society with a large number of tourists and sharp social contradictions. This was a hotbed for the emergence of political parties and violence.The Lin Shuangwen Uprising was a product of the violent development of Taiwanese society at that time, and it was the result of the traditional fission of the worship society. The Tiandihui only played an unconscious role in it, and the failure of the Lin Shuangwen Uprising was the opportunity for the spread and evolution of the Tiandihui.

Historically, since the fall of Lin Shuangwen and the large-scale arrest of Tiandihui by the Qing government, the founding purpose of Tiandihui began to change.That is to say, it changed from the "mutual assistance and robbery" that implied "the master of the Ming Dynasty inherited the clan" to the later "anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty".

Therefore, assuming that a certain traveler came to the early and middle period of Qianlong, if he really met the Tiandihui in Fujian and Guangdong, he would probably be robbed without even a pair of pants left.If you are self-righteous and tell the other party something like "Father, Mother, Anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty", maybe this group of robbers, Road Hog, can catch you and send you directly to the official to collect the reward.

Beihai Town paid enough attention to Yan Yan's group coming again.As soon as they got off the boat, they were taken away by the security police. They were detained and interrogated separately. After confirming their participation in the Lin Shuangwen Rebellion, they began to be broken up. They were sent to Heilongjiang City, Ezodi and Kuye with families as units. all over the island.

As for Yan Yan and Liao Dong, as the leaders who were deeply involved in Lin Shuangwen's rebellion, both were dispatched to the coal mines in Ezo.

It is said that in the ancient society that depended on agriculture for a living, settling down from generation to generation was the norm, while migration was the abnormality.People who can become homeless are living on the margins of society. Their true portrayal is that they have no food and clothing, are displaced, are bullied, and life and death are uncertain.

However, poor people must have something to hate.In order to survive, help each other, and prevent bullying and robbery, these people gather together through the Socialist Party.Whether it is the Water Margin or the Three Kingdoms, it has become the basis of their beliefs.Since most of the members are loafers, rascals and bachelors, once the feathers grow, the mutual aid and self-defense within the group will quickly evolve into various anti-social behaviors such as fighting with weapons, robbery, theft, and even rebellion.

What Beihai Town needs are people who can farm steadily and serve as soldiers honestly, and this is the only way to deal with this group of socially unstable elements.

Zhang Tinghe was a small grocery seller in Quanzhou. He was timid and lived a decent life, so he didn't take part in the fighting and road rogue business much.This guy joined the Tiandi Society purely for the purpose of earning money. Every time he develops, he can collect a thousand coins. In addition to handing over to Yan Yan, he can also save a lot.After Lin Shuangwen killed officials and rebelled, Zhang Tinghe was so frightened that he didn't even want the money he collected, and returned to Quanzhou that day.

After arriving in Beihai Town, Zhang Tinghe confessed everything he could and couldn't say after repeated questioning by the security police, so now when he saw the security police's black uniform, his calf twisted with fright.

When Zhang Tinghe's family arrived at the open-air cafeteria prepared for immigrants, Zhang Tinghe's wife was a little unhappy when they saw that the cafeteria provided noodles for everyone, and complained: "Why is it so difficult to eat rice? If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have come to this place outside the pass.”

Zhang Tinghe hastily covered his wife's mouth with his hand, and scolded in a low voice: "Oh, keep your voice down, it will be bad for those officials in black to hear."

"It's all your fault. You insisted on joining some kind of Tiandihui! Look, how will you live in the future?!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Tinghe also became angry, pointing to the earrings on the woman's ears and the jade bracelet on her wrist, and said: "This, and this, which one was not bought with some money? Who was it?" Those who count the number of eagles are smiling every day, so why didn't you say that at that moment? Don't want it if you have the ability."

"Why should I not? I gave birth to two children of your Zhang family, and this is mine! Don't talk about this, Yingyang is also mine."

"You stupid woman, if Yingyanghua can't go out here, can you save your child?"

"I am willing. This is the wedding money saved for the boss in the future. From now on, I will count it in the morning and in the evening. If there is one less Yingyang, you are just asking."

"Fuck you! Keep your voice down so people can hear you." Zhang Tinghe shook his head angrily, and continued: "I really admire you, but I can't get anything out of this barren mountain. "

The couple chattered in Hokkien dialect, which no one else could understand, but Zhang Tinghe's eldest son was not happy about it.

"Old Cup, Old Eye, have you guys had enough quarrels? Brothers and sisters are hungry."

Zhang Ting and his wife turned their heads and scolded in unison: "Stinky boy! It's not big or small."

"When the ship stopped just now, the officials said that there is only one hour. If you keep talking like this, we won't even have time to eat."

"."

The family ate in a hurry, followed the arrows to find a place to fetch water, filled the kettle with water, and then returned to the pier and boarded the boat.When the time came, with the bell ringing on the ship, the immigrant fleet slowly left the temporary pier in Khabarovsk, turned into Heilongjiang and headed northwest.

"My lord, do you dare to ask when your King Zhao will come back?" Outside the Beihai Military Station on the north bank of the Mongolian River, a military officer of the Qing army who came from the other side of the river asked helplessly.

The company commander of the Beihai Navy on the opposite side said lightly: "Go back and wait, my lord will tell you when I come back."

The military officer hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Master Liu, you and I have known each other for two years, right? I have always treated you with great respect and never offended you. Please, I can't do business this time."

The company commander surnamed Liu said: "My lord, it's not that I make things difficult for you, I really don't know."

The military attache of the Qing army had no choice but to cup his fists, and returned to the other side by boat to report.

It is said that Liu Yong, who was entrusted by Qianlong, wanted to start negotiations with Beihai Town as soon as possible since he arrived in Wula, Jilin.

Since the beginning of August, Qianlong was so anxious that he couldn't sleep well every day. Every two days, he sent someone to send a message to Liu Yong on a flying horse to inquire about the progress.What he is most afraid of now is the sudden southward movement of the Beihai Navy.The two sides have fought so many times, and both Qianlong and those in the Military Aircraft Department can understand that the tens of thousands of soldiers in Jilin and Shengjing alone cannot stop them.The problem is that even if it is too late to deploy troops, it is necessary to find out Zhao Xin's intentions through negotiations in order to formulate a countermeasure.

Liu Yong originally wanted to sacrifice the Manchu son-in-law, Huo Jihui Saimaer, to negotiate with Beihai Town, but now that Ninggu Pagoda is lost, Boli and Sanxing City are also lost, and he wants to summon Huo Jihui to Jilin Wu Lamian gave the opportunity, but the mountains are high and the rivers are long, and he is beyond his power.

He and Qing Gui scrambled among the group of people for a long time, and finally realized that they could only choose Na Qitai.

If the current imperial court wanted to say who had the closest relationship with Zhao Xin, then Qitai would say the second, and no one would dare to say the first.The master thought to himself that there was no major conflict with Beihai Town. When Liu Sheng attacked Ninggu Pagoda, he ran away without firing a shot.But it was precisely because of this that Qianlong was furious afterwards.He ordered Na Qitai to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors in Jilin City, and he was worthy of guilt.

Now that he has the opportunity to make a fortune, Na Qitai will naturally rush to take it.

In mid-July, he set off from Ula, Jilin, and arrived at the Hunchun camp in 20 days. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he arrived at the barracks on the south bank of the Mongolian River. After negotiating with the North Navy stationed on the opposite bank, he found out that Zhao Xin had not returned.

In order to find out the situation, Na Qitai sent his subordinates to Fuldan City to contact his own spies in disguise as border people, and only then did he know that Zhao Xin had led the troops to fight Yaksa.After he sent someone to report quickly to Jilin Wula, Liu Yong told him to wait until Zhao Xin came back.

All kinds of people in Beihai Town appeared on the stage and made a lot of noise. Zhao Xin only got a general idea from the telegram, and how to deal with many things has to wait for him to go back.

On September 1788, 9, after Zhao Xin had survived ten days of turmoil in Upper Henyudinsk, Liu Sheng arrived with the Second Battalion of the Sixth Regiment of the Northern Navy.

Unlike the last time, this time the convoy of the Northern Navy drove directly outside the barracks in Upper Henyudinsk.The whole of Upper Henyudinsk was a sensation, and all the residents came out to watch.If Zhao Xin hadn't sent troops to maintain order, they might have crushed a few of them to death.

The deafening roar of the motor scared the priests who came out to watch the fun. Looking at the tall blue car body, both priests and local residents kept crossing their chests and muttering "the devil is coming!" It's like that."

After all ten DT-10PA-1s passed, the already muddy road turned into a big mud pond.

Zhao Xin looked at the disgraced Liu Sheng and Fan Tong and asked, "Why did it take so long?"

Liu Shengdao: "Don't mention it, there was a car that was almost on the ground, and it took a whole day to drive it. If I didn't follow along, the few pieces of materials for the agricultural machinery would not be able to play at all."

On September 9, after another day of rest, the Northern Navy stationed in Upper Henyudinsk set off again.

Zhao Xin took a battalion along the Selenga River to Lake Baikal to attack Irkutsk.Liu Sheng and Fan Tong took another battalion and went south by boat, heading straight for Kyakta.
