Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 413: Hunchun Raiders
In the early and middle Qing Dynasty, because of the strong national power, a large amount of silver flowed in.Affected by the traditional concept of "mining motivation", the Qing court was not enthusiastic about gold mining, and many areas in the north even banned gold mining.After one crow, with the intensification of compensation for land cession, the Qing court urgently needed to develop new sources of income, so it was gradually released.

1 taels of gold is just a drizzle for people like Zhao Xin or He Shen, but it is an astronomical figure for most people.Although it is said that "poor culture and rich martial arts", families who practice martial arts are all small and wealthy, but no one is not tempted to encounter such a large sum of money.

In addition, the most important thing is that Beihai Town is far away in the northeast of the outer city, and has been working hard on its internal strength for these years, so it is not closely connected with the customs.

Even if there are countless living people in Beihai Town, saving the refugees from the sea of ​​suffering, but because the Manchu Qing blocked the news, and "traveling into the Guandong" in this era is only a minority of behaviors, so the only source of news for the martial arts people in the Guan is the government, so it cannot be arranged by the Manchus arbitrarily. .

It’s said that when the waiters at the restaurant went to eat, Chai Rugui and the three ate and drank in suspense. Who would have thought that Gao Liugeng had just eaten two steamed buns, and when he accidentally raised his eyes, he caught a glimpse through the window of a robust old man in his fifties leading a young woman and A strong young man walked towards the restaurant.

Gao Liugeng was surprised, and couldn't help blurting out: "Mr. Wu?"

The old man was none other than Wu Zhong, the master of Cangzhou Bajiquan known as "Nanjing to Yanjing, Wu Zhong with a big gun".

Although Gao Liugeng has practiced martial arts under Chang Naizhou for many years, he is best at using guns.Speaking of his marksmanship, there is another anecdote.

It is said that Chang's marksmanship originated from Guan Zhang Ba in Sishui Hulao, and Gao Liugeng was the best marksmanship among all his classmates, so he gradually became proud.One day Gao Liugeng was practicing marksmanship for all his teachers and brothers. It happened that Chang Naizhou's daughter passed by, stopped to watch, and said after finishing a round of marksmanship, "Although the marksmanship is exquisite, there are gaps to break."

Gao Liugeng was dissatisfied and said, "Then you can try."

After finishing speaking, he started to use it again, it was really like a thread, sweeping a large area, everyone around the audience clapped and applauded, which made Gao Liugeng even more proud.Unexpectedly, Chang Naizhou's daughter looked on coldly, and suddenly stepped closer, pierced the shadow of the gun, and immediately buckled the bamboo basket in her hand on Gao Liugeng's head.After that, he stepped back and stood still in the same place, as if he hadn't moved the place.

The onlookers who were present at the time were all stunned, Gao Liugeng realized that his abilities were far behind.Afterwards, he studied harder and practiced harder. Later, in order to improve his marksmanship, Gao Liugeng even went to Cangzhou to ask Wu Zhong for advice.

After hearing Gao Liugeng's words, both Chai Rugui and Li Wenqing were shocked.The three put down their bowls and chopsticks quickly, and quickly stepped out to salute Wu Zhong.After everyone returned to the restaurant together, they sat down and greeted each other, only to find out that Wu Zhong was also entrusted by someone to take his daughter Wu Rong and his eldest disciple to Xuzhuang, Sheyang Lake.And it's not just him, the three famous martial arts masters in the north, Kang Dali, Liu Sanshan, and Li Zhang, also brought their apprentices.Wu Zhong came to Funing County just to meet Kang, Liu, Li and the people sent by the court.

As for the father and son Dai Longbang and Dai Wenliang of Dai's Xinyiquan in Shanxi Province, they have been entrusted by the imperial court to take people to Kulun, saying they want to go to Qiaktu.

When Chai Rugui and the other three heard this, they couldn't help being stunned.This movement is too big!The Ganqing imperial court swept over all the famous martial arts masters in the north.

In fact, this time the Manchu Qing privately recruited all kinds of martial arts people to go to Beihai Town to do things. Not only did He Shen alone, Liu Yong, Wang Jie, Dong Gao and others also contributed. It is a rare cooperation between the corrupt officials faction and the Qing faction. a handful.

Although most people can afford to hide from He Shen's power, but Liu Yong, Wang Jie and Dong Gao's reputation is too great. When these three invite them, the whole martial arts world is in motion.

As the spies at the sticky pole continued to send back scattered information, now from Qianlong to Qingliu, almost everyone can understand that Beihai Town is different from all other enemies since the founding of the Qing Dynasty; Zhao Xin not only wanted to dig the roots of the Manchu rule, but even the roots of Taoism.

If this is like other rebellions in the past dynasties, it is okay to overthrow a dynasty and replace it with a new one. As long as the orthodoxy is not destroyed, it will eventually be a "cycle of five virtues".But if you have to dig out the roots of orthodoxy, you will become the enemy of scholars all over the world, and you will die or I will die.

The problem is that Zhao Xin is still ignorant of all this. After April, he will be stationed in Zhuergen City. First, he will mobilize troops from various places to rotate and gather offensive troops. Solve the Qing army in Hunchun camp.

The purpose of taking Hunchun is to face Li Chao.From the Hunchun River to the south, you can enter the Kahali River (Gaya River), which is the largest tributary of the Tumen River, and along the south of the Tumen River, you can go straight to Maoshan City at the southern foot of the river source, which is famous in another time and space. The Musan magnetite with a total reserve of 50 billion tons is located there.

Now that Beihai Town is going to build a railway and vigorously develop heavy military equipment, the demand for high-grade iron ore has become more and more urgent.Although everyone in the time traveler knows that there are a lot of high-grade iron ore in the southern hemisphere, the distance is far away, and Zhao Xin has no plans to fight the British or the Dutch for the time being.

Even if the tentacles of Beihai Town extend southward, the first thing to be solved is the Spanish and Dutch entrenched in Southeast Asia.Compared with Tsarist Russia who invaded the Northeast, the second place on Zhao Xin's "punishment list" was the Dutch.Let alone the "Hongxi tragedy" more than 40 years ago, the blood of tens of thousands of Chinese people must not be shed in vain.

However, if the Beihai Navy wants to go south, it must first consolidate the entire Northeast Asia.

Among the four groups of forces: Tsarist Russia, Manchu Qing Dynasty, Li Dynasty, and the island country, the island country has basically been restrained by Beihai Town, and will soon become a stable labor export place for Beihai Town.

Li Chao is poor, hehe, as long as the Northern Navy's soldiers arrive at the Tumen River, it will be easy to recapture the southern foot of the Jiangyuan.Whether it is a southerner or a westerner, old or young, in the face of powerful force, they are all trash.

Tsarist Russia's problems will definitely not be resolved in a short time.Zhao Xin's plan is to establish a Cossack regime in the West Siberia Plain in two or three years, let alone the puppet or not, at least it can play a buffer role.

The last is Manchu.Zhao Xin's short-term goal is not to fight Jilin after solving Hunchun, but to talk about it next year.After the southern defense line is stabilized, a second battlefield will be opened on the Jiaodong Plain, making it a pilot base for absorbing population and related land policies.After the Outer Northeast is built into a powerful industrial and agricultural base and enough cadres are trained, they will enter the customs in one fell swoop.

In April 1789, at the beginning of the fifth month of the lunar calendar in the 4th year of Qianlong, Zhao Xin, who had arrived in Zhuergen City for two weeks, heard that Naqitai's two children had been sent to the hospital in Fuerdan City for treatment. After dinner, he had nothing to do. I decided to check it out.

Wu Xianhou is currently in charge of the Fuldan City Hospital. He and his cousin Wu Xianning came at the end of the 49 year of Qianlong. Last year, they brought their family members from Jiangning and were sent to Fuldan City.

Right now, the inside and outside of Fuerdan City has become a big construction site again, with ditches being dug or utility poles being buried on all the roads, and even the outside of the hospital is full of ditches and bumps everywhere.

Since the beginning of spring, the power department of Beihai Town began to lay power transmission lines along the main road leading to Fuldan City.At the same time, another team also set off to Heilongjiang City and Yaksa City to survey and select sites, and planned to build a new small thermal power plant in Heilongjiang City first.

A few days ago, Yalha was attacked in Beihai Town, so whether it is Chen Qingsong or Shen Xuan, several crossing people have to be cleared by the guards in advance when they go out, so that the idlers can avoid it, and enjoy it properly With the head treatment.

Because Zhao Xin is different from other people, he can sneak away at any time, so he is not so public when he goes out, and usually only brings four guards.He also didn't want to act like an emperor, separating himself so far from the common people; in Zhao Xin's mind, when a group of people first arrived in Beihai Town, they were very close to each other, and the days when everyone was stirring rice spoons in the big cafeteria were the best. beautiful.

When a group of five people came in from the back door of the hospital, Wu Xianhou had already been notified in advance and was already waiting here.Zhao Xin followed Wu Xianhou and turned left and right, and soon came to a small courtyard in the northwest corner of the hospital ward area.

Zhao Xin stood at the gate of the courtyard and asked, "Both children are here? How are you recovering?"

Wu Xianhou said in a low voice: "Yes. At the beginning, Qitai's concubine insisted on living with the child. We told her that she was contagious and she was not at ease. In the end, she took care of the child wearing a mask. After five days of antibiotics, according to the According to Dean Hong, the infectivity should be gone, but for safety reasons, we still need to quarantine for another five days."

After Zhao Xin heard this, he raised his legs and was about to walk into the yard. Wu Xianhou was startled, and quickly stopped him, saying, "My lord, this disease is contagious. Besides, the two children are accompanied by the female family members of the Qitai family. This... "

After hearing this, Zhao Xin shook his head slightly, thinking that he almost forgot about it.Beihai Town doesn't talk too much about male and female defense, but the Qitai family must care about this, and it's not appropriate to go in rashly.As for contagiousness, he was not afraid of it. Basically, everyone in the time travel had been vaccinated, and they were immune to infectious diseases such as whooping cough, diphtheria, cholera, and tetanus.

Wu Xian said kindly: "My lord, wait a moment, I'll go in and say something first."

Zhao Xin thought for a while and said, "I'm just curious to see the child, so don't say I'm here. Then, find me a white coat and a mask. I'll go in with you in a while."

After more than 20 minutes, Zhao Xin, who was dressed up, followed Wu Xianhou into the house, and finally saw Na Qitai's concubine and two children.The adult also wore a mask in the side room, but just looking at the pair of red phoenix eyes of the other party, he could still be regarded as pretty.It's just that I have dark circles under my eyes because I have been taking care of the children who can't eat well and can't sleep.With her was a middle-aged woman in her 40s. Zhao Xin knew that this was the nanny of Na Qitai's family, who was sent to take care of his daughter.

The two children don't have a fever now, but they still cough a few times from time to time.The problem is that whooping cough has a long course of disease and slow recovery. It is not possible to fully recover in three to five days.

After Wu Xianhou checked the child under the respectful eyes of the two women, Qitai's concubine asked softly, "Mr. Wu, when can we leave the hospital?"

Wu Xianhou frowned and said, "What? Want to go back?"

"Yes. We've been out for almost ten days. If we don't go back, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my master."

Wu Xianhou turned his head to look at Zhao Xin, saw that the other party nodded insignificantly, and then said: "Okay, you can go back if you want, you can leave the day after tomorrow, but I still have to tell you two."

In fact, Zhao Xin really likes children. He used to tease the children of refugees from island countries when he had nothing to do.Now seeing that Qitai's son has a tiger's head and a tiger's head, I always want to reach out and "ravage" him.After the nurse gave the child an injection, she squatted down to tease him.The little guy was teary and pouted as if he was about to cry because he had just had an injection in his ass.

At this time, Zhao Xin remembered the nursery rhymes he heard the old man read in the alley when he was a child, so he coaxed: "Yuyoucha, Babucha, don't be a weasel. Little brother, why are you crying?"

Na Qitai's son and youngest daughter listened attentively to Zhao Xin's nursery rhymes, and soon they were giggling.Zhao Xin ignored the surprised gazes of Wu Xianhou and others beside him, teased the child for a while, then got up and left.

He took it as a pastime, but the two women in the room were dumbfounded, and then they looked at Wu Xianhou and asked, "Who is this?"

Wu Xianhou shook his head with a "hehe" smile, and said to Qitai's concubine: "To tell you the truth, the one just now was Zhao Wang. He has dealt with the master of your house many times. He heard that the child is sick, so he came here specially. have a look."

"Ah?!" The face of Qitai's concubine suddenly turned pale, thinking that he and his child were together with the notorious "Zhao Xin" just now, his legs were so frightened that his legs were weak, if it wasn't for the support of the nurse beside him, Almost collapsed to the ground.

A few days later, he took the child back to the side room on the south bank of the Mongolian River and told his brother Chang Wu what he had experienced these days, and Chang Wu was shocked immediately.So it didn't take long for Na Qitai, who was sitting in the barracks, to know about it.The lord's face turned blue when he heard that, but in any case, Zhao Xin had saved his family's life, so he had to bear it if he didn't want to.

In mid-April, several reconnaissance teams of the Northern Navy began to dispatch in turn to detect the deployment of the Qing army from the south bank of the Mongolian River to Hunchun Daying.Since Seldan led the team north to Irkutsk, the reconnaissance team on the southern front was led by his son Erlu.

This newly established 30-member reconnaissance team was formed in the middle of last year. Most of its members are Hezhe people from Balk Village, and Wang Yuanfang is personally responsible for the adjustment.After more than half a year of training, these Hezhe people, who were originally good at fishing and hunting, put on camouflage uniforms and took compound bows, even against the Manchu Sauron soldiers.

For a while, from Hunchun to Menghe River, the small group of Qing troops who went out to patrol were miserable by the reconnaissance team. The Shiren team often killed eight people and lost two.After coming and going, the Qing troops who went out were at least 50 people before they dared to come out to patrol.

At this time, because Fukang'an was still on his way north, the temporary commander in Hunchun was Guan Bao, who had been promoted to the commander of the Zhengbai Banner Guard Army.Seeing that the Beihai Navy, which had been quiet for a year, suddenly moved, the former captive Guanbao felt that the situation was not good.

A few days later, Na Qitai sent an urgent report, saying that a few strange buzzing birds would fly over from the top of the Mongolian River camp every now and then, causing the Qing troops stationed in turmoil all day long.

At the end of May in the 54th year of Qianlong, the spies stationed in Fuerdan City by the sticky pole lost two spies, and finally sent a piece of information to the other side of the Mongolian River. Hastily sent someone to report to the Hunchun Camp.

The content of this information is that Zhao Ni's army is gathering towards Ninggu Tower and the south bank of Suifen River, and they may send troops soon!
