Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 70 Freighters and Cannons

"absurd!"

More than ten days later, An Lin sent an urgent report from Hunchun to the Jilin General's Mansion, [-] miles away.After Qinggui read An Lin's submission in person, he threw the submission on the desk.

Was An Lin's brain swollen, or was he fooled by the money?He actually said in the submission that "Bear Island is afraid of monsters infesting, causing the armored soldiers with yellow flags to be wiped out", he thought that everyone else was as stupid as him? !
What kind of monster can kill more than 100 armored elites? More than 100 armored bears? !

Qinggui knew that if this matter was not investigated clearly, he was afraid that his entry into the aircraft department would be delayed.

He paced slowly in the study, considering how to report to the Ministry of War.

Zhang Jia Qinggui, styled Shuzhai, was the fourth son of Yin Jishan, a famous minister of the late Qianlong Dynasty.In the 47th year of Qianlong, he was awarded General Shengjing.After Fukang'an was transferred, Qinggui was transferred to General Jilin.He has always been a peaceful person, and he is very strict in doing things. The so-called "toe toe is not far from the inch", is referring to people like him.

"My lord, there's a letter from Toktonga." His staff whispered outside the door.

"Come in."

After the aide entered the room, he handed Miza to Qinggui, and then waited aside.

After a stick of incense, Qinggui carefully read Toketonga's secret report, and handed it to the waiting staff.

The aide took the secret report, and after reading it at a glance, he put the letter on the desk.

"My lord, I think it's just like what Toktong said in the letter, and we can only wait until the ice melts in March."

"Yeah." Qing Gui sighed in distress.

The climate north of Hunchun was too harsh, and the incident occurred on an island in the South China Sea thousands of miles away.

Usually in the middle to late March every year, Hunchun will send hundreds of armored soldiers to patrol the [-] islands in the South China Sea.

In the early Qianlong period, the number of people who stole ginseng and fugitive slaves from the islands of the South China Sea could reach thousands. On the occasion, they dig ginseng on the island, and then sneak back to Ningguta and Jilin Ula by boat to sell.

In the 11th year of Qianlong, General Ningguta A Lantai and others requested that ginseng poaching be strictly prohibited and inspections be conducted. They also requested to sail a boat to inspect [-] islands including Hunchun Haikou and Solenji Island.After receiving the approval of Emperor Qianlong, the system of patrolling the South China Sea began in the second year.

The purpose of patrolling the islands in the South China Sea is to strictly investigate the poaching of ginseng by the coastal flag people;

To say that Zhao Xin and the others landed on Bear Island just by coincidence, not long after the Qing soldiers left.

Generally, the Qing soldiers go to sea in late March every year, and the time to land on the islands in the South China Sea starts from April or May, and returns in October or November of that year.The way the Qing soldiers patrolled the island was to find a conspicuous place to hang a wooden sign after landing on the island to prove that there were no slave bandits who were wintering and fleeing on the island, and that no one lived on the island and cultivated fields.

After landing on the island again the next year for inspection, a wooden sign will be replaced, and the wooden sign from the previous year will be brought back to Hunchun for storage.

Thinking of this, Qinggui couldn't come up with a better way, so he had to order his staff to go down and draft the text to be sent to the Ministry of War.He himself took out a blank memorial, and after thinking for a while, he picked up a pen and wrote, "Jilin general and minister Zhang Jiaqinggui would like to play the Hunchun bandit Yaer Haseldan escaped Hunchun and led Tomo Huoguo and a hundred soldiers. Disappearance of [-] people from the Six Banners."

(The beginning of the real Qing Dynasty memorial is like this. The writing requirement is that the title must be clearly stated, so that the Military Aircraft Office and the Secretary of General Affairs can immediately know what the memorial is about when they receive the memorial, so as to distinguish priorities.)
"The ice is melting!"

Outside the Xiongdao camp, Lu Shoushan, who was riding on a horse, shouted at Zhao Xin who was not far away.When the horse stopped in front of the camp gate, Lu Shoushan turned over and jumped off the horse, repeating to Zhao Xin in front of him: "Master, the ice on the sea has begun to melt!"

"Let's go! Let's go and have a look." Zhao Xin heard Lu Shoushan's words, and quickly greeted Liu Sheng and Wang Yuanfang who were beside him. He walked to the barn beside the camp gate and took out a few Mongolian horses. run to the beach.

Several people rushed to the beach and looked at it at a glance.I saw that the gray-white sea surface, which was originally formed into one piece, had begun to crack, and scattered into large ice blocks with a thickness of about half a meter and a diameter of about one meter, which gradually drifted to the sea in the distance.With the continuous impact of the sea water, large pieces of sea ice were slowly washed away by the sea water, and some were directly accumulated on the shore.

At this time, the cargo ship cannot go into the sea, otherwise, once the large piece of sea ice blocks the cargo ship's submarine door, it will cause damage to the machinery on board; and such thick ice will also cause serious damage to the hull of the cargo ship.

"Wait a few more days, the thickness and density of the ice cubes are too large, and the main engine's horsepower can't be turned on at all." Liu Sheng observed the ice condition on the sea for a while, then turned his head and said to Zhao Xin.

"Then wait, anyway, it has already begun to transform, not less than a few days." Zhao Xin said with some excitement.

After a few people returned to the camp, Zhao Xin summoned everyone and ordered the refugees to start packing up their clutter and prepare to leave in ten days.

"Mr. Zhao, don't forget that you promised my hospital." Hong Tao began to ask.

"I can't forget it, I can't forget it. Although we can't build high-rise buildings, we can still build a high-end nursing home-style hospital on the hillside." Zhao Xin explained with a smile.

"However, Dr. Hong, you have to wait for me to bring in some more people before you can start work. You have seen these days, there are only a few strong laborers in the camp, and the rest are women and children. Let's settle down there first. ."

Chen Qingsong's plan has been preliminarily completed, and he still needs to conduct on-site surveys after arriving before finalizing the design.

"Old Chen, feel wronged when you arrive, and drive the excavator for a few days." Zhao Xin found Chen Qingsong privately and said.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm just 'meeting'. The operation is really bad." Chen Qingsong was a little numb.

Zhao Xin persuaded in embarrassment: "Old Chen, there is no one else here except you. They will never come to the meeting, learn together, and make progress together. Even I have to bite the bullet."

At the beginning of March, according to the agreement with Andrew, Zhao Xin brought Liu Sheng, Wang Yuanfang, and Wu Siyu to meet with Andrew and completed the largest number of weapons transactions.The low transaction price of weapons and ammunition made Zhao Xin just want to give Daniel four middle fingers.

Of course, the toes need talent and practice.

After another ten days, Zhao Xin's container ship finally arrived at the port.

At the pier, Zhao Xin took the four generals of the Security Department and hugged Deng Fei and Ding Guofeng who had just disembarked.

"Finally I've been looking forward to you." The four people who saw the actual cargo ship for the first time pulled Ding Guofeng on board, couldn't wait to get on the ship and looked around, and asked Ding Guofeng to show everyone around.

Ding Guofeng said in his heart that what I am most familiar with is the galley of the ship...

"Did the sailing go well?" Zhao Xin asked in a low voice, holding Deng Fei's shoulders.

Deng Fei nodded: "This boat is for you to fish. The boat is in surprisingly good condition. After spending a lot of money, this boat is the same as the new one."

"That's good." Zhao Xin finally felt relieved.

"Have you decided to name this ship after you get there?" Deng Fei asked curiously.

Zhao Xin looked at the freighter and said, "Our artillery is going to be on board, why don't we call it 'Thor'."

"Hey, speaking of which, has your D30 arrived yet?"

"It arrived ten days ago."

Three days later, in the middle of the night, the "Thor", which has not yet changed its name, was moored at the port terminal.At this time, the twenty crew members temporarily hired by Zhao Xin had disembarked and returned to China. The whole ship was silent and there was no one.

The six-member team of the security department wearing masks attacked everywhere and had already controlled the terminal monitoring room. The three security guards on duty were all knocked out and tied up under the muzzle of the black hole.

At 2:[-] in the morning, Zhao Xin on the dock received a signal from Liu Sheng that everything was done through the walkie-talkie.Immediately took out the jade pendant and started to act.

Before Liu Sheng evacuated, he threw three large envelopes at the security guard on duty and cut the rope on one person.

After seeing the contents of the large envelope, the three security guards on duty who were freed unanimously decided that nothing happened tonight and rotted it in their stomachs.

The world is at peace, everything is normal.

Another day passed, on the hillside west of the Bear Island camp.

Everyone was busy. At a selected position, after the jack under the gun body fell to support the gun body, several people opened the three large frames of the cannon and fixed them with pile-driving hoes; then put away the jack again.

Liu Sheng and Wang Yuanfang cooperated, and they easily raised the gun body through the high and low plane and the direction plane, and the muzzle faced the sea.

Wang Yuanfang, the only one who had experience in firing guns, aimed at a large ice block on the sea through the direct sight; Ding Guofeng held a black projectile weighing nearly 20 kilograms into the barrel of the gun, and Liu Sheng immediately used the bullet delivery stick. Plug the projectile tightly.Wu Siyu then loaded the cartridge with the medicine pack into the gun chamber.

"Mr. Zhao, come on." Wang Yuanfang smiled and let go of the firing position.

Zhao Xin turned around and looked at the crowd standing 20 meters away. More than 300 people came in the camp today, and even a disabled person named Yalha was standing in the crowd with the support of Seldan.

"Let them cover their ears. Be sure to cover them tightly!" Zhao Xin ordered the crowd in Mandarin and Island dialect.

After everyone covered their ears tightly according to Zhao Xin's order, Zhao Xin put on earmuffs, opened his mouth wide, and pulled down the firing machine on the left side of the gun body a little nervously.

"Tom!!!" A strong wind came and blew the soil on Zhao Xin's face.

The large amount of gunpowder smoke and dust rushing out from both sides of the muzzle brake, along with the dust more than two meters high on the hard frozen ground, made Zhao Xin cough suddenly.

"Nima! Choked me to death!" Zhao Xin coughed violently while covering his mouth, while looking at the sea in the distance.

On the sea seven or eight kilometers away, a group of firelight flashed, followed by a large amount of crushed ice being thrown into the air.

At this time, the crowd watching at a distance of 20 meters was frightened by the huge gunfire and flames and sat on the ground, their faces pale.
