Chapter 271 Prelude to the Island Country Guide
Enhai was very happy that Wei Changsheng came to chat, but Guan Bao was very interested. After a few words, Guan Bao said goodbye in advance. Despite his doubts and surprise, Wei Changsheng did not ask Enhai where he heard the lyrics before leaving.
Just kidding! Enhai hasn't lived enough yet.
However, after Wei Changsheng repeatedly begged, Enhai finally told him the whole lyrics and said the general singing style and tone of the lyrics. "The Master of Flowers" is not a waste of time. Wei Changsheng thought about it for a while and tried to hum a few times, but he almost grasped the charm of the lyrics. After he sang it with a clear voice, everyone in the teahouse cheered in unison, and the table was slapped!
In the later years of Qianlong, when the drama genre was developing greatly, many things in later operas had already taken shape. For example, the patch on the Danjiao head created by Wei Changsheng, and the huqin with a soft bow. The main vocal singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular singular
In Wei Changsheng's opinion, the singing style that Enhai told him included Kun and Yi styles, as well as some Western Qin styles, Han styles and Hui styles. This is too strange! He couldn't think of anyone else in this world who could integrate the strengths of various schools and create a genre of opera in addition to him.
Seeing Enhai looking so silly and mysterious, thinking about Enhai's identity, Wei Changsheng thought that this thing might have been transmitted from the palace. It seems that there are capable people around the emperor! Fortunately, Wei Changsheng will be on stage in Guanghelou tonight, otherwise he would be able to talk to Enhai until the next morning.
A year later, this lyrics and singing style that were different from all current genres were processed and sorted by Wei Changsheng again, and he turned it into a short play of "Qin Qiong Selling Horses". It became a huge hit on the Yangzhou stage and became a must-order play. When Wei Changsheng finally knew that this singing style was spreading from outside the pass, it was already a few years later.
The sight turned back to Beihai Town at the end of August of the 51st year of Qianlong.
Zhao Xin finally decided to take action against the island country. He planned to completely eliminate the shogunate's thoughts on the Hokkien through this action and lay the foundation for the final solution to the island country problem.
Since Matsumaki Castle was jointly captured by the Ainu tribes last year, the Tokugawa Shogunate has sent two waves of siege troops in the first half of the year to try to retake Matsumaki Castle. Fortunately, there is a strengthening company in Matsumaki Town in Matsumaki Castle for a long time, and the Ainu people under Tuka could not withstand it.
Now the entire Matsumachi Castle Shimachi Town has been broken into pieces. At the beginning of the year, the shogunate ordered that Omi merchants were prohibited from selling food and daily necessities to the Hokkien land; if the Jinglei had not transported supplies to Matsumachi Castle every month, Tuka and others would have already run back to Pingyuan Town and the mountains to continue to be chiefs.
However, the supplies in Beihai Town were not for free. According to what Zhao Xin had set before and Tuka, all the materials transported were exchanged for gold by the Ainu people. When Tuka could no longer obtain enough natural gold ore, Deng Fei took the opportunity to propose the mineral mining rights of Urupu Island. Tuka didn't care about a small island, so he waved his hand and transferred all Urupu Island, including the Ainu people on the island to Beihai Town.
Although the shogunate siege troops were beaten to flee at Matsumaki Castle twice and fled in a hurry, they still brought most of the islanders living in Matsumaki Castle back to the island. The Ainu people did not do anything for production. They hunted but drank and had fun all day long, making the city-town smoky. Tuka was also worried that there were shogunate spies among the islanders, so they ignored the lives of the local residents and let them die.
On the Edo side, just as the preparations for the "Third Hokkien Punishment Team" were completed and about to set off, on August 25, 1786, the tenth generation general of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Tokugawa Ieji, passed away.
Seven years ago, Tokugawa Ieji's eldest son, Ikiki, who was only seventeen years old, suddenly died after hunting. Two years later, Ikiji, who had no children, made Tokugawa's eldest son Tokugawa's eldest son, two years later.
This sea dog, who has forty wives, twenty-eight sons and twenty-seven daughters in history, is only thirteen years old this year. Now he has ascended the throne of the shogunate and is about to become the eleventh general, the Tokugawa Kishi.
As soon as Tokugawa Ieji died, the old Nakamaba Yiji immediately lost power and resigned as the old Nakama two days later and stepped down. This pioneer, who was the first economic pioneer in East Asia, was soon subjected to the liquidation of political enemies and added bad comments from the world.
At this time, the shogunate fiscal deficit was bottomless and the disaster victims were in trouble. Many farmers had only a small teacup of soba noodles, which could barely survive. Small-scale Ikki Rebellion in various places occurred from time to time, and the shogunate and daimyo were required to reduce excessive annual tribute.
Although Tokugawa's family is young, his biological father Tokugawa Jiji, who is hiding behind him, is very politically wise.
When the rulers of the previous generations were untrustworthy to the people, Tokugawa Jiji urgently needed a clan family, who had prestige but could not threaten his son's relatives to help stabilize the shogunate rule or bear the guilt of injustice on his behalf. However, the three Imperial family members were born in the disaster, because it was rumored that no one in the Shirakawa vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal priests were starved to death (untouchables were not counted as humans), and Matsudai Nobuda, who was the leader of the last family, happened to be the most suitable candidate.
However, as the ancestral teachings of the Tokugawa family, since the Tokugawa family dominated the world, it must transfer power to its retainers equally; the position of "Old Middle School" can only be selected in the Giantai Daming, and the relative Daming cannot be held. Although Matsuhei Daming was the leader of the Hiromatsu Matsuhei family, he was opposed by his political enemies because he was born into the Virginai Daming (the grandson of Tokugawa Yoshizo, the seventh son of the Tatsuya Tokugawa family, and later adopted the Shirakawa family as the heir.).
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The fierce political struggle has begun again. As various factions in the shogunate began to compete for the throne of "Old Middle School", the third plan for the Hokkien crusade was put on hold.
The above is the information that Heitaki sent back to Beihai Town through the Beihai Business Name. Zhao Xin saw the opportunity from it. Once the candidate for the old and Chinese people was determined, the shogunate would begin to work together. In order to deal with the lack of arable land in China, they would definitely plan for the fertile land of the Espresso again.
However, before leaving, Zhao Xin still has a few things to do.
He first wrote a handwritten letter. After Chen Xuan helped to polish it, he copied it with a fountain pen neatly and could not find a typo. Then, he handed the letter to Chen Jingdan and asked the other party to return to Yangzhou to pick up his family, and handed the letter to a man named Wang Zhong and Wang Rongfu.
The reason why Zhao Xin fell in love with Wang Rongfu was that although this person was very talented, he did not become an official; secondly, this person lost his father since childhood, and relied on his widowed mother to raise him by selling shoes, worked as an apprentice, and passed the imperial examination; thirdly, Zhao Xin read Wang Zhong's works when he was a child.
At that time, Zhao Xin's father was "incited" by a colleague, so he found a book "Shuxue" from the unit library and forced Zhao Xin to finish reading during the holidays. Under the intimidation of his father's big slap and belt, Zhao Xin's life is worse than death every day; such as "Kingdom University", "Houguo Primary School", "Study of the various philosophers", "Farmership School", etc., there was no punctuation mark on the whole article. Zhao Xin could only memorize the whole article like a dictionary while sniffing it all.
At that time, Zhao Xin's home was only a wall away from his father's unit, so every time Zhao Xin memorized an article, he had to run to his father's office to recite it silently.
Why is it "Hurry up"? I forgot if I go too late! Just like that, I have to slap my palms with a word of mistake and then go back and carry it again. At that time, Zhao Xin rubbed his palms with red pierced every day. The one who hid in the quilt at night was the one who scolded the most.
As time goes by, some things gradually blurred. It was not until a few days ago when I was having dinner with Chen Jingdan, when the other party mentioned a guy named Wang Rongfu that Zhao Xin suddenly remembered this guy who had been scolded for the whole winter vacation.
Wang Zhong’s affairs are currently Zhao Xin’s private affairs; in terms of business, Beihai Town opened three junior college schools at the end of August in addition to the existing primary schools. Zhao Xin attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the three schools.
The first is a technical school belonging to the civil affairs department. Although the agricultural machinery units in Beihai Town and Furdan City have exceeded 100, they still do not meet the requirements of large-scale mechanization. In view of this, Chen Qingsong and Zhao Liang prepared for several months in private, the technical school finally opened.
Zhao Liang served as the principal of the technical school, and Wan Zao, Zhao Maozhu and others and more than a dozen skilled workers in the workshop became part-time teachers. The school first opened eight professional classes, divided into agricultural machinery, car driving, mechanical repair, fitter, turner, milling worker, electrician, and carpenter. The students are aimed at residents who are already proficient in Mandarin and can recognize and read 500 words, regardless of gender.
The second school is the Navigation School. Liu Sheng is the principal, Deng Fei is the principal of education, and Ding Guofeng and Portuguese carpenters are part-time teachers. The current majors include three professional classes: seafarer, turbine and senior seafarer.
The electrician and woodworking majors required for navigation are trained by technical schools. However, the seafarer major alone requires learning a series of courses such as navigation, navigation duty and collision avoidance, navigation meteorology and oceanography, cargo transportation, ship management, ship structure and equipment, etc., and then pass the assessment based on the service life, you can be promoted to a senior seafarer.
The third school is the Youth Military Academy, with Zhao Xin as the principal, Wang Yuanfang and Wu Siyu as the chief and deputy education director. The recruitment targets of the Youth Military Academy are graduates from Beihai Town Primary School. They mainly train junior reserve talents in the joint training and diversion major for Beihai Town; the so-called joint training and diversion refers to cultivating compound junior command officers who understand technology, manage, and can command.
There are no majors within the Junior Military Academy. All students need to learn subjects such as weapon shooting, terrain, middle and higher mathematics and geometry, military theory, staff business, military training method, military management, missionary education, etc. The entire study time is four years; after four years, professional systematic training will be carried out based on personal strengths and personality characteristics.
In addition to the technical school's site, which is located in the south of Furdan City, the Seaman's School and the Younger Military Academy are both located on the east bank of the Xila River in Beihai Town. After the groundbreaking ceremony was completed, the construction team of the Ministry of Civil Affairs began to enter the site to construct, and it is planned to complete the construction of the classroom and the wall before the end of the 10th month of the lunar calendar.
The establishment of the three schools has attracted great attention among the old and new refugees. The refugees soon learned that these students not only know how to use Mandarin fluently, but also have to read and recognize words. It is also said that they have to become officials after graduation, and their monthly salary during school is at least 10 yuan in Beihai Town silver coins.
As a result, the families of students who have been determined to go to the school to study were almost broken by the matchmaker.
People, those who are hardworking and willing to work hard, some are lazy and hate labor. Some families with daughters have daughters and misfortunes say that as long as they marry their daughters, they will definitely be officials. What land should they plant and what paths should they build!
But after they inquired again, their hearts were bleak. Zhao Xin stipulated that students in the three schools were not allowed to start a family before the age of 18; if anyone dared to get married secretly, the group leader, village chief, and district chief were all dismissed, and the students themselves must also be cleared from the school.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, more than 100 soldiers and officers who married concubines were gradually cleared down. These people were quickly formed into a security team and were forced to take their families and concubines to Kuye Island to be responsible for the security of oil fields and coal mines and winter duty.
Seeing Zhao Xin's tough tricks, Li Ji, who was originally thinking of begging for a concubine, couldn't help but sweat in a cold sweat, thinking that he was really lucky.
Zheng Yi, Zheng Qi and Guo Po, who came to Beihai Town in confusion, led three people to Beihai Town Primary School, and were waved by Zhao Xin and sent them to Beihai Town Primary School. In addition to Zheng Qi's words, Zheng Yi and Guo Po were both admitted to private schools for several years, but they were still ordered by Zhao Xin to learn two courses in mathematics and geometry. Zhao Xin said it very clearly that if you want to be a senior seaman, that is, you can drive a three-masted sailboat or even a large iron ship, mathematics must be mastered.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although going to school is a good thing, the daily classroom really makes the three of them extremely embarrassed; because except for them, there are all a group of seven or eight-year-old children in the classroom. It’s so disgraceful!
In early September, just three days before Zhao Xin set out, the second and third laws of Beihai Town were issued. The second laws made all refugees confused and didn’t understand what the use of men creating the “Opposite Regulations”!
Speaking of which, many people here in Beihai Town didn’t even know what opium was, but instead learned through this regulation that there are two other names for opium, A Furong and Fushou Paste.
This regulation was drafted and promulgated by Zhao Xin when Yu Deli and Zhou Weiguo were asked to be drafted and promulgated as soon as possible. Zhao Xin's idea was that instead of being punished without being taught in the future, it would be better to take the lead. Anyway, this thing doesn't need to be too complicated.
The "Opulation Prohibition Regulations" clearly state that in addition to medical procurement and hospital use, anyone under Beihai Town is prohibited from smoking, selling, or transporting opium. The regulations also clearly state that "sucking and selling the same crime", which is recognized by all travelers. Given the current shortage of population resources, as long as people sell or smoke opium, they will be distributed to coal mines in the Hokkien land to dig coal and will not return to the mainland for life.
Another legal rule is the "Beihai Town Resident Identity Pass Regulations". All residents of Beihai Town will receive a certificate issued by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. So starting from early September, each household in Beihai Town and Furdan City received a notice to go to the town office to take photos one day and prepare photos for the new certificate.
Immediately afterwards, news came from the city of Furdan that dozens of people from Zaksulu, led by the Sahalian and his daughter, set off in mid-July, landed on the south bank of Xingkai Lake, crossed the swamp, and arrived in Furdan City in early September. This time, they brought a large amount of mountain goods and animal skins to do business with Beihai Town; from cotton coats to needles, grain, salt, matches, cigarettes, tea and even ironware, everything was needed, and everything was changed.
Although Zhao Xin is responsible for ethnic affairs, since Wu Xiha is here, he doesn't have to come forward to this matter. Naturally, Liu Sheng and the people from the Civil Affairs Bureau will deal with it. Now the transportation between Beihai Town and Furdan City is smooth. Before the heavy snow covers the mountain, it only takes two days to ride a horse, three or four days to ride a carriage.
At the same time, after preliminary adaptation and unified physical examinations by Beihai Town Hospital, Pereira and his group of people came to the Beihai Town Hospital to confirm that their personal hygiene was not good and they needed to take a shower and get their hair done frequently. Pereira, who was so embarrassed by Director Liu, had his two subordinates and began to survey and design the future Beihai Town Harbor; while other boatmen led other boatmen to repair the Natalia and Nicholas that had been captured before.
Because both ships were British three-masted merchant ships, and Liu Sheng had purchased a lot of wood from Macau before, the ship workers immediately started the restoration work after the Nicholas was dragged into the dry dock.
When Pereira, who had just arrived in Beihai Town, was extremely surprised by everything here. When they were led by the civil affairs clerk to visit the two new dry docks paved with steel and concrete, they all fell off their chins.
However, when the Thunder returned from Kuye Island with a load of diesel, Pereira and other Portuguese and the Dan fishermen knelt directly. They could not imagine that there could be such a large iron ship in this world.
"It has started snowing on Kuye Island. It will not be possible to start work again in September, and the pipes will have to freeze. Zhang Bo and the others have been on a roundabout way recently, preparing to stop fire and work in mid-September." Deng Fei seemed a little tired. Recently, he has been running back and forth between Kuye Island and Hokkien, transporting back and forth, transporting a large number of high-quality thermal coal and diesel.
Zhao Xin patted Deng Fei on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. After I leave, you can go to Jeju Island again. After you take Zhang Bo and the others back, you, the education chief, will take up your post. There is no need to run away this winter. You can go to class and have a good rest before talking."
On September 5, Pan Xiucheng and Jiuzang, who were promoted to the commander of the regiment, led the two regiments to board the ship. On the noisy pier, the soldiers boarding the ship and the families who saw off were crowded with people, and it was extremely noisy and lively. Seeing the crowds present talking and laughing, without any worries of separation from life and death, all of the Dan boatmen who worked on the pier were extremely surprised.
The last major thing Zhao Xin did before leaving was to sign his name on the recruitment mobilization order. According to the previous adjustment plan, Beihai Town expanded its army again, and the scale of this recruitment was 9,000 people.
Chapter completed!
