Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 392
Tian Tonghe is very shrewd.

In fact, he has been paying attention to the big movement outside the city yesterday.At night, when the cavalry of the Northern Navy passed outside the city with great fanfare and returned to the north of the Jiehe River, he knew that something was wrong.

It's not that he didn't think about running away, but where could he go?In the weather of the twelfth lunar month in winter, Tian Tonghe could only run to Kulun.But if the trading city was captured because of escaping, not to mention losing his head, he would even implicate his eldest brother Tian Tongzhou and the owner Chang's family.

Sure enough, when he followed Wu Yi's relatives into the government office, soldiers immediately surrounded him and tied him up tightly.Afterwards, Wu Yi and Dai Peng, who were wearing official uniforms, came out and reprimanded Tian Tong and the thieves for colluding with Rakshasa to initiate border quarrels. Handed over to the Northern Navy for disposal.

After Tian Tonghe heard these sanctimonious remarks, he didn't say a word, thinking that you idiots can defend the country's borders?What a disappointment to the grace!It's a pity that my lofty ambitions have been wasted, that's all!

After successfully capturing Tian Tonghe, Dai Peng ordered his soldiers to go outside the city, and sent a letter to Jiehe, informing the North Navy of where the prisoner would be handed over.

At the beginning of the afternoon, Yu Jinshui led a squad of the Northern Navy and escorted the Russian businessman Pavlov to the agreed place by the woods five miles outside the city.No one in Beihai Navy had ever seen Tian Tonghe, so they had to bring Pavlov to identify him.

After Pavlov, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face, confirmed that it was correct, Yu Jinshui made an explanation to Dai Peng in satisfaction.According to Lu Shoushan's order, Yu Jinshui also gave the other party ten pieces of sea otter skins and several large bags of matches, which made Dai Peng jump.

Do you want it?Dai Peng struggled for a while, and decided to accept it.Be a human being and stay on the front line, so we can meet again in the future!He decided to meet Wu Yi after he went back and share half of it, and everyone would take care of it together; and even if it was his own share, he didn't plan to take it, and planned to exchange all the money and send it to his subordinates.

Let's go into the water together so that we can be safe.This was taught by Mr. En from the Beijing Camp, who lived in the same cell as me when he was in the prisoner camp.

The boxy Russian city Tiantonghe on the opposite side of Maimai City has been there many times, but the town to the north has never been there.However, when he was brought into the North Navy Barracks on the east side of Chakhta Town, the scene that caught his eyes made him unforgettable forever.

In the biting cold wind, a red flag fluttered high in the center of the barracks playground.Except for the sentry in the sentry box at the gate of the barracks, there was no one else on the playground, but waves of uniform reading aloud came from the barracks not far away.

". Mencius said: 'I am good at cultivating my awe-inspiring aura.' There are seven auras, and I have one aura. If one is against the seven, why should I be troubled! What's more, the arrogance is the righteous aura of heaven and earth."

"The master of the terrain is the help of the soldiers. Predict the enemy's victory, and plan the dangers far and near."

"Song of Righteousness? Sun Tzu's Art of War? Is this a barracks?!"

Hearing the sound of reading in his ears, Tian Tonghe's eyes widened, his jaw almost fell to the ground and was crushed by the horse's hoof.Although I had doubts in my heart, it was written on the wooden sign hanging at the door when I came in before that this was where the Beihai Navy was stationed.

As a scholar, he asked himself that he had been to Wuyishan in the south, Tianjin in the east, and Uliasu Terrace in the west for so many years, but he had never seen the imperial court organize officers and soldiers to study; even if you look at the history books, Never saw a single word.

In such cold weather, what are the officers and soldiers of the imperial court doing?Except for those who were on duty, the others either drank and gambled, or huddled under the covers and slept soundly.read?Don't be kidding, is that grass growing on the ancestral grave!
Furthermore, the ancients have long said, the so-called "all generals want to be strict, and all soldiers want to be stupid." If soldiers are not stupid, who will fight to the death on the battlefield.

Yu Jinshui on the side saw Tian Tonghe's open mouth with a stunned expression, and felt amused in his heart.Back in Beihai Town, Mr. Wang, the principal of the elementary school, saw the soldiers read and write for the first time, his jaw could hit the ground like a hole!
Thinking of this, Yu Jinshui couldn't help feeling a little proud.He was an illiterate refugee when he got off the ship to Beihai Town, and now he is a lieutenant staff officer who can read [-] characters!Even if he didn't serve as a soldier, the various workshops in Beihai Town would scramble for it, and he was even said to be a cadre in the civil affairs department.

Pooh!What are you thinking? !I won't leave, I want to follow Mr. Zhao to conquer the world and become a general!

Stopping his chaotic thoughts, Yu Jinshui jumped off the horse, pointed at Pavlov and Tian Tonghe and said to the soldiers: "Put them in the confinement room first, and separate them!"

After finishing the report with Lu Shoushan, Yu Jinshui immediately started the interrogation.Tian Tonghe had no other thoughts at this time, knowing that sophistry was useless, so he planned to tell the truth.

But after arriving in the interrogation room, he encountered another very strange thing.

Yu Jinshui, who was in charge of the interrogation, first asked Tian Tonghe to take off his robe, leaving only a white singlet on it.A North Navy soldier wearing a red armband was first tied to his chest and abdomen with two black belts, and tied to the chair.

Then he tied a tightly tied blue "cloth belt" on his left arm; it was called "cloth belt" because Tian Tongkazu couldn't tell what material it was made of.

Finally, the soldier wrapped two more black cloth bags around Tian Tonghe's left index finger and ring finger.

Tian Tonghe noticed that all these "cloth bags" tied to him were connected with a long black string, leading to a flat square box on the table in front of Yu Jinshui.And a thin black string protruded from the flat square box, which seemed to be connected to a very strange black flat box on the table.The box was about one foot square, and it was neither gold nor jade, and there was a small light on at the bottom.

The Zhao Rebel bandit in the north knows sorcery, can watch hundreds of miles at night, and taking people's heads is like picking something out of a bag. This news has long been spread to everyone outside the Jiangnan Great Wall.Only then did Tian Tonghe think of the rumor, and his fear grew even worse.

According to what he saw and heard in the Qing Dynasty, when he entered the Yamen, he had to be punished first, and then he could ask questions.But this is neither beating nor scolding, what is the purpose of tying up a bunch of weird belts?

So he twisted desperately on the chair with a terrified face, and screamed: "What is this?! Are you going to use evil methods on me?"

The Beihai soldier with the armband beside him snapped, "Be honest! Sit still and keep your hands on the armrests!"

At this time, Yu Jinshui said slowly: "Tian Tonghe, be honest, this thing will kill you! But if you are not honest, we have hundreds of ways to make you speak! It's just whether you can get out alive It’s hard to say.”

After finishing speaking, he took out a short black stick from the drawer of the table in front of him and gestured to Tian Tonghe. Tian Tonghe saw two off-white nail-like objects protruding from the top of the short stick.When he was in the fog, suddenly, he saw a bright white arc of lightning flashing between the two nails, and then there was a crackling sound.

Tian Tonghe was shocked, thinking that this is really a sorcery, if it is hit by it, it might be wiped out.He quickly nodded his head and begged for forgiveness: "Don't! I say, I say everything!"

At this moment, in an officer's barracks on the other side of the barracks, Polia, who was wearing a military uniform that was obviously one size too big, was wiping the big bump on Fan Tong's forehead with gauze soaked in safflower oil.

Fatty Fan is now like a seriously ill patient, completely lost the momentum of beating Pavlov and Ragutin with an electric baton last night. He leaned on the bedside and looked at the blond girl in front of him, thinking she was beautiful.

"It's so beautiful~~"

"Fan, what are you talking about?"

"Ah? No, I said you are so beautiful!"

Polia smiled shyly and asked, "Does your head still hurt?"

Fan Tong shook his head. At this moment, he felt a little melancholy. Because of the language barrier, it was difficult for him to express more feelings to the other party.But he knew that Polya was a good girl.When he was tied up in the col yesterday, the blond girl stood in front of him several times, preventing Ragugin and his men from hurting her.

Thinking of this, Fan Tong looked at Polya opposite with affectionate eyes, and said in his half-baked Russian: "Thank you, Polya."

Polia smiled so sweetly that she suddenly stretched out her arms, hugged Fatty Fan's head, and kissed him on the forehead.Then he turned around and said softly with a pleasant voice like plucking the strings: "Take a good rest, I'm leaving."

Fan Tong was dumbfounded at this moment, his heart was beating wildly, and he watched in a daze as a touch of blond hair disappeared behind the door.After a while, he suddenly clenched his fist, waved it, and said "Hi" excitedly.

But what Fan Tong didn't see was that not long after, Polya left the barracks and was walking home, her face still blushed, and she was as happy as a swallow.

However, when she passed by the gate of a private house, she found that two middle-aged Russian women in the yard looked at her with a little disgust. Polya seemed to understand something, and there was a trace of sadness between her brows.

After entering November, the atmosphere in the entire Beihai Town became joyful, and the residential area was decorated with lights and festoons.Whether it is an old resident or a newcomer this year, every household wants to prepare a congratulatory gift that can express their hearts.

Nothing else, in ten days or so, Zhao Xin will marry Miss Shen's family!
During the lunch break, in the principal's office of Beihai Town Primary School, the principal, Lao You, was talking with the vice principal, Wang Zhong.

"Principal You, Wang has something to ask."

"Old Wang, you don't have to be so polite when you have something to say."

"Wang knows that you and Zhao Wang are from the same place, but what Wang really doesn't understand is, why can't the two Gaotangs attend such a big event as Zhao Wang's marriage?"

"Uh" Lao Youxin said that this is really which pot is not opened and which pot is not opened, what should he say?Lao Youxin said that if this was his son, I would definitely beat him to death.

He smiled awkwardly, and said to Wang Zhong: "It's too far, it's really too far to get through."

Wang Zhong was surprised and said: "Beihai Town has a large iron ship that rides the wind and waves and travels hundreds of miles a day. I heard that the furthest distance can be thousands of miles. Even if it is far away, can you pick it up in advance?"

Old You's heart turned violent, and he entered the mode of making up random things, so he explained: "The wind and waves in the southern hemisphere are high and violent. When we came here, we almost passed out. Zhao Xin, oh no, Zhao Wang's parents are old, If something bad happens on the way, then his crime will be serious."

"Oh, so it is true."

Wang Zhong was about to ask again that now that Beihai Town has laid down such a large territory, the old King Zhao and Princess Wang couldn't stay away from their son all the time, when someone knocked on the door lightly from the outside a few times.

Old You Ru was pardoned, and hurriedly shouted: "Please come in!"

The door of the room was opened lightly, and a young woman with jet-black and shiny curly hair on her head, without makeup and with a face like the morning glow and snow, came in, holding a light blue oiled paper umbrella with some stains on it. snowflake.Seeing that Wang Zhong was also there, she hurriedly said, "It turned out to be Mr. Wang, Zhenyi was rude."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Lao You quickly got up and called to stop him, smiling all over his face, "It's all right, I'm chatting with Principal Wang. Deqing, do you need me for help? Do you have any questions?"

Wang Zhong knew that Wang Zhenyi worshiped under Lao You's sect, and studied all kinds of spells.For Wang Zhenyi, Wang Zhong still admired it very much.Not to mention the girl's outstanding appearance, but her self-respect and self-love personality alone made him very appreciative.If old You hadn't been there first, Wang Zhong also wanted to accept such a student.

"Principal You, since the apprentice has something to do, let's talk about it another day."

As soon as Lao You heard it, he was eager to say, "Okay, okay! Let's talk another day."

As soon as Wang Zhong went out, Wang Zhenyi, who was originally a little cautious, let out a long sigh of relief.This Wang Zhong kept a straight face all day and night, and sometimes he would scold others, and he was so cruel in his words, there was almost no one in the school who was not afraid of him except Lao You.

Oh, it seems that that guy is not afraid, sometimes I can still see the two of them arguing fiercely in Wang Zhong's office.I really don't know why that guy is so idle all day long?
Wang Zhenyi has been studying with Lao You in Beihai Town for almost a year, and now she has learned high school mathematics, and her progress is very gratifying to Lao You.

The girl is extremely clever and hardworking, and has now learned logarithmic functions and solid geometry.If he had to study for another two years, when it came to advanced mathematics, Lao You felt that he would struggle a little.The problem is that they can also shoot arrows, recite poems and paint paintings, and in these respects, Lao You can't keep up even if he flatters him.

Wang Zhenyi took out the exercise book from the plain handbag she carried with her, and handed it to Lao You, saying that she was asking for advice on a few problems she had done before.Lao You put on the glasses, first watched the process of her doing the questions, then looked at the answers, and then analyzed and explained them one by one for a long time.

When Wang Zhenyi almost understood, she looked at the clock on the wall, and it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.Seeing that it was getting late, Wang Zhenyi hurriedly saluted and thanked Lao You, put away her things, and left the elementary school.

In fact, in terms of Wang Zhenyi's ability, it is more than enough to be a Chinese studies teacher or a mathematics teacher in Beihai Town Primary School, but Miss Wang just likes to delve into the sea of ​​questions.As far as Lao You is concerned, he hopes that he can cultivate a top mathematics talent in this time and space, so that it will be worthwhile to come back.

It is said that one should have a heart of reverence for history, which is more obvious in Lao You.Whether it is Wang Zhong or Wang Zhenyi, Lao You always treats them with the mentality of treating seniors, and has always been polite; even Wang Zhenyi, who is an apprentice, never said a serious word.

As a mathematics enthusiast, Lao You knew that it was precisely because of these famous and accomplished scholars in history that China's ancient civilization was able to shine.

When Wang Zhenyi left Lao You's office, the snow outside was heavier than when she came out at noon.Usually in the afternoon, she would either do problems and read books in the school library, or read books at home.Usually at 05:30 in the afternoon, she would leave the house with a food box, go to the big cafeteria to buy a half-person dinner, and then go to the hospital to find her father, Wang Xichen.After the father and daughter had eaten together, and at eight o'clock, she would go home with her father.

Although it was still early, and she could go home and read a few pages of books to pass the time, but Wang Zhenyi saw a huge "囍" posted on the bulletin board outside the school gate, and suddenly felt disturbed and lost the interest in reading.Holding an oil umbrella, she walked south along the stone streets and alleys, and after more than 20 minutes, she came to the coast.

Snowflakes flew in the sky, and the sky and the earth were all white, and the unfrozen sea became calm and waveless at this time, slowly hitting the shallows on the shore.

Because the port where the ships were moored was moved to Whale Bay in the southwest in the summer, the earliest temporary pier in the south of Beihai Town was gradually abandoned, and the only remaining wooden trestle bridge will be demolished in the spring of next year.

However, it was a pity for Wang Zhenyi that the tall chimneys on the east bank of the Xila River were really a sight to behold, so she closed her eyes, listening to the rustling of snowflakes around her, and felt that it was really quiet.

After a while, Wang Zhenyi felt a little cold, and was about to turn around and go back, only to hear a voice behind her that asked her to say that she hates it, and that she hates it, but it's not hateful.

"Girl, it's too cold and the seaside is too dangerous. How about we go back?"

Wang Zhenyi contemplated her expression for a while, and made a look like willow brows standing on end and almond eyes wide open, and she turned her head and said angrily, "I want you to care! If you come closer to me, I'll hit you with a slingshot!"

"Meow~~"

"Puchi~" With a sudden cat meow, a fat cat's head protruded from the man's chest, and Wang Zhenyi's serious expression, which was finally brewing, could no longer hold back.Covering her mouth with joy, she raised her head cheerfully, and looked at the person opposite.

There were only the two of them on the beach at this time.

One is a pretty woman in a red cloak holding a light blue oil umbrella; the other is a tall man in black with a snowstorm on his head and a fat cat's head protruding from his chest.

Seeing that his head was covered with snowflakes, Wang Zhenyi frowned slightly, stepped forward, stood on tiptoe and held the end of the umbrella handle, trying to shield him from the snowflakes.But suddenly a gust of sea wind blew away the paper umbrella.The two stood in the snow like this, looking at each other, the snowflakes fell on the eyebrows of the two, which instantly brightened the originally dim vision.

Looking at the proudly independent woman in red on the opposite side, Zhao Xin suddenly remembered a poem "Bodhisattva Man" written by Wang Zhenyi in another time and space. Majestic crowns the three Wus, romantic and dreamy."

Perhaps because of her appearance, this woman who is "beautiful and beautiful" should never "give Huafang the end of her life" again, right?
Thinking of this, Zhao Xin suddenly felt a burst of guilt welling up in his heart.He asked people to kidnap this talented but short-lived woman to Beihai Town, but he never confessed to her.

Tell Wang Zhenyi to be a lover in the future?Zhao Xin felt that someone would definitely hit him with a slingshot!
When he came out of the office with A Miao just now, he saw that the distant figure seemed to be like Wang Zhenyi, so he sent A Miao back first, but he followed up with King Duo Fu in his arms.As for why he wanted to embrace Duofu, Zhao Xin didn't know, maybe in case the other party asked "Why did you come here", he could make up a reason for himself.

Like taking the cat out to the bathroom
