Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 62
From the night of the 49th to the early morning of the [-]th of the first lunar month in the [-]th year of Qianlong, the Kulkaqi families in the small fishing village at the mouth of the Suifen River heard a noise coming from the military camp outside the village.

There was the whizzing sound of archery, the strange whistling sound, the clanging of weapons, the screams of people running for their lives, and the neighing of horses and the hoofs of horse-drawn sledges on the snow.

All the villagers were awakened, but no one dared to go out to see what happened.A few days ago, the officers and soldiers carried out extensive inspections in the village, which had already terrified several households in the village.

In this way, until dawn, a daring man walked out of his house cautiously, and hesitantly walked out of the barracks while looking around.

When the man walked outside the village and looked at it, he couldn't help being stunned on the spot.

Except for dozens of wooden stakes that were left on the ground, all the tents disappeared, and the horses, flag soldiers, and armored soldiers were all gone.

The villager dared to go forward to check, and found that the ground in the camp was empty except for the scattered firewood, the destroyed stove and some ashes.

"The officers and soldiers are gone?" the man muttered.

After a while, the man suddenly grinned, turned and shouted in the direction of the village: "The officers and soldiers are gone!"

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the Hunchun Association led Woteshan still did not receive any news from Tomo Huoguo.

Although it was a long way to go to Bear Island to catch fugitives, but after all these days, Tomohogo should send someone back to report the situation.

The two have had a feud since last year because of the promotion of the leader.Tomohoguo is a family leader who has been handed down from generation to generation, and is inlaid with a yellow flag, and has a distinguished position.Since Woteshan was appointed as the leader of the Zhenghuang Banner, he has been doing things carefully and cautiously.

After Yongde left office, Jilin general Qinggui asked them to act as co-leaders for a period of time, just to inspect the two and make a fair selection.

Although Tomohoguo sent someone to hand over 2000 taels of silver during the period, Ke Qinggui didn't take it seriously.He has already received news from the capital that the emperor will summon him when he returns from his southern tour, and transfer him to the Military Aircraft Department and Minister of Industry.At this juncture, Qing Gui didn't want to get involved in Hunchun's affairs.

In the end, he checked the biographical files of the two and listened carefully to the reports of the staff, and decided to promote Woteshan to the Hunchun Association Leader.The reason is that Woteshan acts cautiously and fairly, and everyone in Zhenghuang Banner and the other two banners is convinced.

The spring break is not over yet, and Ningguta and Jilin Wula Yamen have not opened directors.Wote Mountain's flight report was handed out, but no one paid any attention.

In fact, Uteshan is also considered unlucky. Originally, I thought that something happened below, and I carefully checked it out because of my official duty. Who would want that Yalha to stab such a big basket.I had known that he was also on vacation and sealed.

Now many family members in Xianghuangqi are very dissatisfied. During the Chinese New Year, our men are not allowed to rest at home, and they must be sent out to run errands.As a result, thirteen people died and one was injured.This went out and more than 100 went to Bear Island.

Where is Bear Island?That's a desert island!

So ever since the news of the death of the 11-member team came back to Hunchun City, Wuteshan couldn't live this day, and even his wife began to complain about him.Every day, family members with yellow flags came to his house to make noise.

Uteshan knew that he had done something wrong, and hated the leader who was killed by Yalha.I asked you to investigate, not to arrest people!As a result, all four of Yarha's family were frozen to death, and even the leader was killed.

In the end, another Seldan family popped up, and the family ran away and murdered.

It had come to this, and he regretted it.We can only wait until the [-]th of the first lunar month, and quickly send someone to Jilin Ula to clear the joints.

To talk about the holiday system for officials in the Qing Dynasty during the Spring Festival, it generally started around the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, and the yamen sealed the holiday.

A month-long holiday looks very human, but there are big problems.After the official seal is sealed, the administrative system will be paralyzed; all matters will not be prioritized, and will be resolved after the seal is issued next year.

When ordinary people are in an emergency, they have nowhere to ask.

Fujianese Lan Dingyuan recorded such a thing in his "Luzhou Gong Case".There is a murder case that needs to be opened for autopsy, but now it is December [-]th, and the official seal is sealed, so we have to wait for the next year to open the seal and then examine it.As a result, after a month passed, all the evidence and evidence disappeared, and the prisoner had already run away.

On the 21st of the first lunar month, the 73-year-old Qianlong started his sixth southern tour.On the same day, Anlin, the deputy commander of Ningguta, received the flight report from Hunchun.

In the office of the Ningguta Yamen, a pen-style person took the submission from the letter Ghoshha, opened it and read it directly:

"The Hunchun Association led the Wute Mountain to report the flight. On the [-]th of this month, at the Hunchun Ya Office, the armored soldier Samuhami reported that the villager of Hajimi River, Yalha, went to Xiong Island and exchanged iron and leather goods for private purposes. …”

He recited in a pen-post style, and the speed of his speech became slower and slower. When he read "It is speculated that the two were killed by Yalha", he was too frightened to read.

The deputy capital Tong Anlin slapped several cases with his palm at this time, and scolded: "A slanderer, dare to kill the court officials, it is really rampant! Continue reading."

The note type cleared his throat and continued reading.When An Lin heard that Wote Mountain had sent 100 armored soldiers to capture Yalha, he smiled disdainfully: "This Wute Mountain is too courageous, why use a hundred armored soldiers to capture a small mountain dweller."

The pen-post-style explanation: "Wuteshan has just been promoted from the position of the leader of the public, and it is also his duty to be cautious when encountering problems."

"Haha, you said good things for him, did you take his money?" An Lin sneered as he squinted at the pen note.

"The villain doesn't dare. The villain is promoted by the master and only wants to serve the master with all his heart. How dare he accept money from others!"

An Lin's words hit his mind, and he was so frightened that he immediately lay down on the ground and explained.Wu Teshan sent someone to give him 100 taels of silver yesterday to help intercede.As a result, I didn't expect that as soon as I opened my mouth today, I was immediately noticed by the Vice President.

As for An Lin, he definitely belongs to the master who jumped into the well with ingots in his arms. He wanted money or his life.

The deputy governor of Ningguta said that his mother was old and needed to take a sedan chair when going out; in fact, the sedan chair carried by the four was for him.

If it is just this violation of the system, it will be fine. He also opened a casino in Ningguta City and lavished money; the most terrible thing is that he forced the merchants to buy ginseng at a low price, and privately transported it into the customs to sell.

Historically, Anlin was dismissed from his post and investigated in the 54th year of Qianlong, and Yili was issued to serve as atonement.Qianlong's comment on him was "despicable and shameless".

However, the sudden appearance of Zhao Xin in this time and space, I don't know what impact it will have on this Vice President?
Zhao Xin didn't have the time to deal with this now. After he and Liu Sheng led a team to attack the military camp outside the fishing village at night, they swept away all the supplies in the camp, and even took away the bodies of the Qing soldiers.

His purpose is to make Hunchun's Qing soldiers not know what happened.Check it out slowly!

As long as Wang Yuanfang and the others come back, he and Liu Sheng will not be so stretched.

On the morning of the 21st of the first lunar month, on the slope east of the river valley where the Qing soldiers were ambushed for the first time, the refugees who came from the camp had already dug more than a dozen deep pits, preparing to bury the bodies of the Qing soldiers.

Although the permafrost is very difficult to dig, Zhao Xin still ordered to dig a little deeper, otherwise it would be easy to be picked up by wild beasts.So the refugees piled dead branches, hay and wood on the ground ready to dig the pit on the first day, and after a day of burning, the land became soft.

Originally, Liu Sheng's opinion was to pour the wood on the oil rack and set it on fire, and then bury it with great effort, but Zhao Xin disagreed.

He explained to Liu Sheng that although bullets do not have long eyes on the battlefield, they will be hated if they rub dirt and dust.We don't have a lot of deep hatred with these Eight Banners Qing troops. Everyone has been killed, so why do we need to do everything?Anyway, this island is not suitable for farming, and I am idle, so I can't delay anything.After hearing this, Liu Sheng gave up his embarrassment.

The seized weapons, armor, and flags have all been transported to the camp. Except for the ones that are too damaged, the rest have been sorted out and stored in the warehouse. Maybe they can be used someday.

In addition, there were more than 200 Qing army horses captured. Except for a few wounded horses that could be killed and eaten, the rest were placed in an open space on the west side of the camp.It used to be densely covered with birch, but now the birch trees have been cut down, leaving only grass, shrubs and stumps.Zhao Xin asked Pan Xiucheng, a former coachman, to find a few women from among the refugees to take care of the old man.

Among the seized materials, Zhao Xin felt that the most important thing was more than 20 iron pots. (The regulation of the Hunchun Eight Banners Jiabing is that every four people share an iron pot.)
In Zhao Xin's eyes, these materials, which are very in demand in the eyes of the local indigenous people, are just a pile of junk, and they are not accepted for sale; but these things are good things in the eyes of the island country refugees, so let's put them away first. .

He plans to go to Hokkaido to do business with Matsudaira Domain after the spring, and see if he can exchange these iron pans, cotton armor and weapons for leather goods, and then use the leather goods to test the waters of barter trade with Chinese merchants in Nagasaki.

All the seized materials were properly arranged, and it was time for Zhao Xin to go back to pick up people.

In addition to Deng Fei and Ding Guofeng, they are still waiting for the cargo ship to complete the maintenance and renovation and go through the follow-up procedures.Zhao Xin also has to go to Zhao Liang's house to bring back the metal processing equipment he packed in boxes.

After resting for a day, Zhao Xin set off on the afternoon of the 21st of the first lunar month.

After getting off the plane at night, Zhao Xin took the train directly to Zhao Liang's factory the next day and took away all the packing equipment.Then he took Zhao Liang and Wu Siyu, who came to meet, to find Wang Yuanfang.

Recently, Wang Yuanfang called Zhao Xin every day. He encountered a problem and needed Zhao Xin to solve it.This trouble is the old grandson who he met when he was looking at horses and sold two horses for 20 yuan.

The same is true of Wang Yuanfang. After answering Zhao Xin's call, he bragged to Lao Suntou, saying that the most expensive and best horses bought in the north are only 8 yuan a horse, and a better horse is usually only [-] to [-] yuan.

He does not mean that.At that time, the old grandson thought that this kid was bragging.At that time, he also asked Wang Yuanfang for a phone call.A few days later, when Lao Suntou was idle by himself, he remembered this incident.So he called Wang Yuanfang.

As soon as the old grandson came up, he said what about the horse you bought?Open my eyes.

Wang Yuanfang said uncle, do you still remember this?
So, he sent two photos taken in the ranch to Lao Suntou's mobile phone.Although Lao Suntou's mobile phone is not new, he can still receive MMS photos.

After seeing the photo, the old grandson quickly called Wang Yuanfang, saying that your horse is going to be brought to China or what?

Wang Yuanfang said that this horse is not brought back to China. Our company has a farm overseas, so where should it be raised first?

Well, the old grandson asked, there are people in your company who manage horses?
Wang Yuanfang said one more sentence, no one, our boss is planning to find one.

After the bird, this time the old grandson is calling Wang Yuanfang almost every day. From raising horses to having enough to eat by himself, the whole family is not hungry, so he has to introduce the situation of his ancestors for three generations.

On the fourth day, the good-tempered Wang Yuanfang couldn't take it anymore, so he just said, Uncle Sun, do you want to come to our company?
The old grandson was happy when he heard it.

Wang Yuanfang couldn't take the lead in this matter, so he called Zhao Xin immediately, but he couldn't get in touch at all.Wang Yuanfang guessed that Zhao Xin might have something to go back.So he could only tell old man Sun that he couldn't get in touch with the boss of the company, and he had to wait first.

So the uncle Sun made two phone calls every morning and evening to inquire about the situation.

Finally, Zhao Xin received a call from Wang Yuanfang early the next morning after the plane landed.As soon as the situation was mentioned on the phone, Zhao Xin said that it was difficult to handle.

At the age of 67, there must be good or bad, none of us can afford this responsibility.

But after he had a phone call with the uncle Sun and inquired in detail, he decided to meet the lonely old man who was accompanied by two horses.
