Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 741 The Broken Baby in the Phoenix Tower

Shengjing City has been conquered, and the next step for the Beihai Navy is to take over the city as planned.

A political team of nearly 2000 people outside the city has been preparing to enter the city since the beginning of the general offensive.There were more than 500 people in the first batch of people who entered the city. They were divided into more than a dozen teams of different numbers, and they went to their designated places to receive them.The most important of these are the Imperial Palace, Shengjing General's Office, Wubu Yamen, Fengtian Mansion, and Chengde County Government. Whether it is the archives in the imperial palace or the silver warehouse, grain warehouse, and shelf warehouse, it is important for the urban management after Beihai Town. Very important.

"Pay attention! Roll your name now!" The captain of Wang Cong'er's team cleared his throat and began to read into the small notebook in his hand.

"Niu Qingbao!"

"To!"

"Wang Cong'er!"

"To!"

"Yu Huifen!"

"To!"

"Lin Qizong!"

"To!"

Wang Cong'er's team has fifty members. Most of the members are young people who have just graduated from administrative schools. Women account for one-third, and the oldest is only nineteen. In addition, there are a few who took part in the imperial examination last year. , "Beihai Town Scholar" who is still in the study period.The captain is forty years old, and he was born in the first batch of naturalized citizens of the island country. His name is Gao Zheng, and he has been in the Public Security Police Department before.

It is said that even after staying in Beihai Town for almost a year, I have seen a lot of new things, but for these ancient scholars who have read the Four Books and Five Classics and received Confucian education since childhood, "Men and Women's Great Defense" has always been in their hearts. The forbidden zone is extremely repulsive to the "gender equality" initiative advocated by Beihai Town, and even argues with the teacher in class.

Liu Siting was extremely dissatisfied when she heard about this incident. As a member of the 29-member Committee of Beihai Town, she simply asked the radio station to dial "Women Can Hold Up Half the Sky" for a week. Of course, it was a version with slightly changed lyrics. All the talents were dumbfounded.

Zhao Xin couldn't laugh or cry when he heard about it. After consideration, he asked Yu Deli to select some "new talents" with good grades and open minds, and they would join the Southward Work Team for a period of time, which would be regarded as internships.At the same time, let them see that the female students trained in Beihai Town are no worse than these "sour talents".

In this day and age, not counting the primitive tribes of matriarchal clans, the only regime in the world that advocates "equality between men and women" is Beihai Town, which is the only one with no semicolon.For example, in industries such as cigarettes, matches, spinning, weaving, clothing, sugar, and canned food, the practitioners are basically women, which greatly makes up for the shortage of labor force in Beihai Town during the industrialization development.

This also illustrates a problem, as long as a country wants to engage in industrialization and does not improve the social status of women, it is completely over and knocking on the gong-nothing.

Because the work team is not a regular army, after the roll call, the young people in the team began to talk happily about the battle that just ended in the city.Seeing this, Gao Zheng quickly waved his hands to stop everyone's chatter, and said:
"Everyone be quiet! I have something to tell you. The task of our team is to receive the imperial palace and cultural relics archives of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. As for the higher-ups, they knew that no one had ever entered the imperial palace, so they transferred two new team members. They will be here in a while. They used to be eunuchs in the palace, and they were assigned by the Manchu Qing in the early years. The reason why they came was that they were very familiar with the facilities inside the palace. When they came, Everyone must express a warm welcome. Their voices are different from normal people, so don't make a fuss! Oh, and one more thing to pay attention to, don't call people 'husband'! This is a very discriminatory name, privately said Neither."

Eunuch?Isn't that the eunuch!Why did Beihai Town even recruit such people?
Standing in the queue, Lin Qizong and several other scholars couldn't help muttering.But when he thought about entering the palace later, he felt that it would be impossible without these people.

Before lunch, the two old men arrived accompanied by an officer.They were all wearing bulky military uniforms without rank, and their expressions were very stiff.In the subsequent introduction, everyone learned that one was Zhang Yinliang and the other was Liu Qing; the former was in his 60s, and the latter was in his early fifties.

When Gao Zheng introduced to the team members, he asked everyone to call them "Master" in the future, and the two old men didn't even dare to say it.It was only then that everyone noticed that the voices of the two were higher and thinner than the average person, and they had no beards on their faces.

After the simple welcome ceremony, Wang Cong'er walked up to the two old men with a smile on her face, took Zhang Yinliang's arm and said, "Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Liu, it's you two!"

"Girl, I haven't seen you for a while, and I'm all tanned. Where's your man?"

"It's in the city. Maybe we can run into it when we enter the city later."

"That's daring!"

Seeing Wang Cong'er, Zhang Yinliang and Liu Qing were very happy, and the nervousness that was originally caused by fear of being looked down upon by others relaxed a lot.They are so familiar with this girl, they almost watched her grow from a naughty ghost to a big girl, and then watched her get married in a sedan chair and become a woman.

When Beihai Town was fighting Ning Guta and Heilongjiang City in the early years, he found many eunuchs who had been exiled.Most of these people were slaves to armored men, lacking food and clothing, and their living conditions were extremely poor.Some of them were brought back to Beihai Town out of wanting to obtain the Manchu Qing imperial ban from these people.Later, except for the young Chun Lai who joined the civil affairs system, other older people also arranged jobs within their ability, and their living conditions were very different from the past.

Zhang Yinliang was one of these exiled eunuchs.He used to work in the Qing Palace Building Office. More than ten years ago, he saw another eunuch being punished by Qianlong for no reason in the Yuanmingyuan. Give the armored man as a slave.

After being rescued, Zhang Yinliang felt that people like Zhao Xin treated them as human beings instead of lowly slaves, so he revealed a lot of the situation in the palace and the garden.Later, the capital intelligence station was able to develop the deputy chief eunuch of the respect room into a dark thread, and he had half of the credit.

After settling down in Beihai Town, in addition to the long winter, he sometimes went fishing by the Xila River in his spare time. Once, he ran into a group of brats headed by Wang Cong'er playing in the water.

At that time, Zhang Yinliang was afraid that something might happen to the children, so he kindly reminded them. As a result, his high and thin voice scared many children away, but Wang Cong'er didn't run away. Instead, he stood quietly and watched him fish.

Zhang Yinliang saw the girl's cute appearance and was always staring at the fish he caught, so he gave her two.Wang Cong'er was overjoyed, that was her purpose, to take it home so that her mother could stew it.

After that, Zhang Yinliang would often meet the gluttonous girl by the river, and the two gradually became acquainted with each other. After going back and forth, the old and the young became friends.

The old man entered the palace at the age of seven, and he learned how to serve nobles and please others. He felt that it was not easy to coax a little girl.But who would have thought that Wang Cong'er and her mother had been wandering all over the world since she was a child, and she was a ghost, and she only said that her mother was a servant for others.It wasn't until the day Zhao Xin got married that Zhang Yinliang and several old eunuchs helped Zhang Luo etiquette, and finally saw Wang Cong'er led by Fang Hua at the scene, and he knew that this girl was not an ordinary person.

Closer to home.At one o'clock at noon, the members of the political work team were notified and immediately assembled into the city.So all the people lined up amidst the hurried whistle, and set off with their bags and flags on their backs.

At this time, the fighting in the city was basically over, but the siege troops were still searching for the remnants of the Qing army, and there were still sporadic gunshots in the outer city.Wang Cong'er and the others came in from the Great North Gate, and when they were about to reach the Fusheng Gate in the inner city, they saw groups of Qing Army prisoners heading westward under the escort of the Northern Navy.

"Where are they going to be sent?" Zhang Yinliang looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment.

Captain Gao Zheng said: "Go to the temporary detention point in the west first, and then send it to Tieling. We have circled a large area under Longshou Mountain, and the prison camp is there."

"Oh! When Tieling came, I was passing by. It's more than 100 miles, and it took three or two days." Zhang Yinliang walked a few steps with a dull head, and then asked: "Girl, what do you think Prince Zhao will do with them in the future?" ? Or let them build the road?"

Wang Cong'er said: "Not this time! It will take a lot of labor to build a reservoir on the Songhua River."

Zhang Yinliang asked curiously: "Reservoir? Can the warehouse be built in water?"

Wang Cong'er pursed her lips and smiled, then gave a brief explanation, and finally concluded: "After the reservoir is built, the Songhua River will not flood in the future, and it will still be able to generate electricity. When electricity is available tomorrow, the people in Jilin City will be able to live at night. Use the light."

"Oh, that's a good thing." Zhang Yinliang nodded uncontrollably.

Walking, talking and looking around, a group of 50 people soon came to the gate of Daqingmen.Captain Gao Zheng showed the pass issued by the headquarters to the soldiers standing guard at the gate. Several soldiers read it carefully, checked the personnel list, and let them in.

From the moment more than 50 people walked into the Daqing Gate, their eyes were not enough. Most of them were too excited to speak, and their faces were flushed with excitement.You can see the red walls and yellow tiles, and the tall and majestic Phoenix Tower in the distance. So this is where the emperor lived!If it weren't for the repeated vaccinations before, several scholars almost knelt down in excitement.

Wang Cong'er was not as excited as the others, because of the relationship between Xu Jian and Zhao Xin, she had seen many pictures of the Forbidden City.Compared with the imperial palace in the capital, the Shengjing Imperial Palace is much smaller.Soon, she noticed a few soldiers with familiar faces standing at the gate of the Chongzheng Hall. After taking a closer look two steps forward, she almost cried out in surprise.

These people are actually Zhao Xin's guards!Others don't know them, but who is Wang Cong'er?When she was a child, she often went to Zhao Xin's house to play, teasing cats and dogs, bullying Xu Jian's younger brother, patting Zhao Xin's son's little butt, and living happily.

Several guards also noticed Wang Cong'er, and a smile appeared on their originally stern face.This is no ordinary person, she is Zhao Xin's half-daughter-in-law!
"Why are you here? Isn't it?" Before Wang Cong'er finished speaking, she saw a guard put his index finger on his mouth, and immediately stopped asking.

"The chief is in the Phoenix Tower at the back, and the one from your family is also there. I just went in for a while. Would you like to meet?"

"Okay, okay! Wait for me to tell the captain."

In fact, Zhao Xin arrived ten minutes earlier than Wang Cong'er and the others. At this time, he was leading Xu Jian out of the Qingning Palace behind the Phoenix Tower and arrived at the "Yongfu Palace" in the southwest corner.

"It's not a big place. Can Dorgon hide in this cabinet? Besides, there are no windows on the back wall, so he's still peeping? King Jin made it up!"

Zhao Xin muttered, and kept looking at the two large cabinets on the left and right sides of the altar.Xu Jian behind him was confused, but he had a feeling that the person in front of him seemed to be familiar with this place.

The two walked out of Yongfu Palace one after another, just in time to run into Wang Cong'er who was trotting up the steps.When the other party saluted him according to the army rules, Zhao Xin returned the salute and said with a smile: "Our heroine is here!"

Although she is already a married woman, Wang Cong'er's pretty face turned red, and she said half annoyed and half coquettishly: "You are still an elder! There is no such thing as a run-on at the first meeting. When you go back, take care of your precious son." Xu Jian and the surrounding guards covered their mouths and laughed.

The reason why Zhao Xin said this is not because Wang Cong'er in another time and space history is a "White Lotus Saintess", but because of another allusion.

When the girl was ten years old, she was influenced by storytelling on the radio, and insisted on learning martial arts from Chen Erya, saying that she would become a "dragon girl Gai Feixia" in the future.Chen Erya couldn't resist, so she taught some basic Changquan techniques to send her off.Unexpectedly, after practicing for more than a month, Wang Cong'er said that she was a master of martial arts, and even jumped from the roof of her house in front of all the brats, and finally sprained her feet, scaring Fang Hua and his wife half to death.

Xu Jian's young couple just saw each other in a hurry last time and said goodbye. After so many days, they met again, and the love between their children was stronger.They are not interested in the surrounding scenery or the palace, and they have a lot to say to each other.

Zhao Xin knew it well, so he didn't let them accompany him, and took Chai Rugui up to the third floor of the Phoenix Tower.This building is the tallest building in Shengjing City, and you can have a panoramic view of the whole city from the top.

170 years!Since the loss of Shenyang Wei in the early Ming Dynasty, and being beaten by Nurhachi, the Beihai Navy founded by himself has taken the city back.

Fulan looked into the distance and sighed secretly, Zhao Xin turned back and walked into the room behind him, pointing to the sundries piled up in the corner and said to Chai Rugui: "Take all these things away, nothing less."

Chai Rugui agreed first, and then looked at a few old screens and a large pile of gourd-like cigarette purses wrapped in yellow cloth in bewilderment, thinking that they were just tattered!What is the use of this thing?If you want to take it, you should take the antler chair you saw before!

When he returned to the headquarters in the evening, Deng Fei saw what Zhao Xin had brought back, and he said dumbfoundedly: "Are you going to collect the rags? You didn't say you brought back some good things when you went to the palace. I remember that there are There are a lot of babies!"

Zhao Xin took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and said with some pride: "Hey, of course someone will help clean up those things. The good things I brought back are the good ones."

"Isn't it just an old screen?" Deng Fei said, walked to the screen where it stood and looked carefully, and said in surprise: "Map? This is the good thing you said? How much can it sell for?"

"The map was drawn by Matteo Ricci, it's just a picture book." Zhao Xin got up and walked to the screen, flicked it with two fingers, and explained: "The key is not the surface, but the lining paper inside. Guess it is What?"

"Don't be a fool, I know you read a lot."

"The authentic work of your idol, Qi Jiguang! Priceless treasure!"

"Ah!" Deng Fei was moved now.

　It is true that there is Qi Jiguang's authentic work on the screen of the Phoenix Tower. It was discovered by a worker in charge of cleaning the Phoenix Tower when Shenyang was first liberated.When the Jin Dynasty was short of paper, the official documents of the Ming Dynasty were used. In addition to the backing of the screen, there was also the pad paper in the cloth bag of the letter card. In addition, some old Manchu documents were also written on the back of the official document.Later researchers called it "screen file" and "xinpai file".
