Chapter 650: The Gu River and the Sea Surging

On the fifteenth day after Duerjia was taken back, a verdict meeting set up on the city's large campus was held as scheduled. Many residents in Qiqihar City came, surrounding the originally open large campus.

They are not for anything else, mainly because Duerjia is a royal family! The direct descendant of Aisin Gioro, from the first-rank general guarding Heilongjiang and the fourth-rank hereditary General Fengen, had to kneel down and kowtow on the street when they saw it on the street. As for the casualties and injuries of the young and strong families on the battlefield a few days ago, they dared not complain about Duerjia. Isn’t this the case in wars since ancient times?

The trial desk was built at the genius first, with various flags all over the world and many slogans posted, which made the literate Han military flag family members and wanderers stunned, thinking that what is this?

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, the current director of the Military Control Commission, the current director of the 19th Regiment, the commander of the 21st Regiment, Wang Ding'an, the deputy commander, the propaganda committee member and others came to the stage to sit. The trial was chaired by Yang Zhongming. As soon as he came, he announced that he would take the lead in Duerjia and several captured assistant leaders, the general manager of the Navy Battalion, the firearms chief leader, the general yamen, the chief officer of the criminal yamen, the chief officer of the bank, the chief officer of the bank treasury, and several fourth-rank officials and the sixth-rank officials were all taken to the stage.

Duerjia had a sign hanging on his chest, and the letter "The evil is full of evil" was written. He stood in front, while others stood behind him. At this time, the people closest to the public trial stage could not help but exclaim. They were crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, and rushed forward.

The Northern Navy soldiers standing in front of the stage held hands and formed a wall of humans. In addition, Yang Zhongming and another Manchu-speaking platoon leader held an electric horn and shouted a few times. Only then did everyone in the audience calm down. Then Yang Zhongming said a few words, and the platoon leader translated in Manchu.

"Everyone, don't be impatient. Today we are here to publicly verdict on the crimes of Duerga and others, so that everyone can know what they have done!"

The people in the audience were silent. Many people thought to themselves that I need to know what the general is doing? Do you need it?

"From now on, there will never be any military service that has been working until old age! Those who are willing to go home to farm and grazing, we will give out seeds and tools! From now on, all the tribute workers will be gone! You can take the fish you have worked hard, the ginseng and minks you have picked to the market to sell! We will also open schools and set up clinics, so that all children can come to study for free, and it will not cost much money to see a doctor!"

Well, if the previous words make the people of Qiqihar City mist and don’t understand them, the latter practical measures are the most attractive.

In fact, starting from the first day of the Northern Navy, the people who thought they would be looted, not only found a place to hide the valuable things and grain at home, but also applied a layer of ashes on the bottom of the pot on their daughter's face, making them look ugly like they are neither human nor ghost.

However, after they spent a day in fear, a method of the North Navy immediately made many people feel at ease. Li Rui asked someone to hang a recording speaker at various intersections in the residential area of ​​the city, and repeatedly played the "City Entry Discipline" of the North Navy with a quotation.

You should know that no matter what tribe they live in Qiqihar, Manchu language is a common language, which is determined by the reality. Although the early Han abortion officials would open a library to teach here, it was limited to families with good family conditions, and most of the others were illiterate.

After a day of continuous broadcast of "The Discipline of Entering the City", several Shanxi shops in the city tried to open the door to do business. At noon, the logistics purchasing personnel of the Beihai Army came to the door. After handing over the goods tremblingly, the shopkeeper who was ready to cut his flesh discovered that the Beihai Army actually paid money, and it was a full text and silly.

On the morning of the third day, another content was added to the trumpet - opening the warehouse and releasing grain. All residents could go to the official warehouse on the west side of the inner city to get five dou of grain. After hesitating for a whole morning, some families who had already left the cooking team could not hold back their pockets, but they happily came back with the grain.

In this way, there were changes every day. After seven or eight days, all the shops in Qiqihar City opened their doors to do business, and there were also people on the streets. Then, many girls washed off the ash on the bottom of the pot on their faces.

After Yang Zhongming accused a lot of crimes from Duerjia and others in Brabra, the people below finally woke up. It turned out that the noble general asked us to die to cover him to escape. This was too unauthentic!

You said that if you die in the battlefield or commit suicide by breaking the city, we can give you a thumbs up and secretly say that you are a man and run away? This is too embarrassing to the Aisin Jueluo family!

As a result, everyone thought of the graves outside the city and the scene of half of the funerals in the city a few days ago. The curses and crying sounds became louder and louder, and some even shouted, "Kill him!"

"Beat him to death! If it weren't for him, my son wouldn't have died!"

"Give my man back!"

"How do we orphans and widows live in the future!"

At this moment, the guilty officials on the stage were already scared and sweating profusely and collapsed on the ground. Especially Duerjia, he knew that he could not escape death. Although he tried his best to show his toughness and the noble and inviolable majesty of the royal family, the soldiers of the North Navy on both sides tightly held his arms and couldn't stand up at all. So the guy raised his head unwillingly and stared at the nearest person below the stage.

"Please be quiet, please feel free. Now, please invite Director Li of our Military Control Commission to announce the results for Duerjia and others!"

Hearing Yang Zhongming's shout, the campus quickly became quiet and everyone was waiting for the result.

Li Rui stood up at this time and bowed slightly to everyone below the stage. This shocked everyone again, as if he saw the sun rising from the west.

When did the official bow to him? Many people immediately bowed back. At this time, on the edge of the college ground, several old men wearing semi-new cotton robes and looking like scholars showed a look of surprise and disdain on their faces. They thought that in order to win the hearts of the people, Beihai Town actually wanted to be in charge of the official body.

At this time, Li Rui's voice came from afar from the public trial stage, and every word was heard very clearly.

"Aisin Gioro Duerjia, a member of the Qing Dynasty, was once captured by our Northern Navy. However, this man did not repent and committed an unforgivable crime against the soldiers and civilians of Qiqihar City! For his own selfishness and to escape our net of heaven and earth, he asked the people of the whole city to cover him and buried him with him! His hands were covered with blood and he was an absolute executioner! According to the decision of the Military Control Commission, Duerjia was hanged! The rest... eleven people, who were also accomplices of Duerjia, will be sent to Jakar to serve ten years of labor!"

Boom~~~The thousands of people in the audience were immediately in an uproar, and the families of other captured officials could not help but cover their mouths and cry.

The other eleven guys were already scared. At this moment, they were all very grateful and even cried loudly when they heard that they were just exiled.

When Duerjia was carried to the gallows built on the west side of the public trial stage, his face was ashes and his whole body was like mud. During his days of detention, he repeatedly told the officers who interrogated him that he was very rich and could he redeem his life with gold as before, even if he was on Kuye Island to do cool labor.

After being held onto a wooden bench, Duerjia thought he could still drink wine on the road, but the executioner behind him put the noose on his head and tightened it, and then kicked the wooden bench under his feet over!

A few months later, as the news of Duerjia's death came back to the pass, the Qing court was shocked, and the royal family cursed Zhao Xin and the Beihai Army in the most vicious language to cover up their inner weakness. They finally realized that their so-called noble bloodline was nothing in front of others.

......

In early May 1793, just as the "spring offensive" in Beihai Town was in full swing, the Gu Lihuan, who served as Karbitan in Penang, suddenly sent a confidant to Bacheng by boat. He did not come to find He Xiwen, but informed the Bacheng Military Control Commission that the Dutch were preparing to retake Bacheng by force!

According to this person, after the Spring Festival, more than 20 Dutch warships arrived at the "George Tun" in Penang to enter the port for supplies. Each ship was loaded with at least 200 to 300 red-haired and black soldiers. According to the news he heard from the British, all of these soldiers were from the Sultanate of the Vandan.

After February 2nd, Gu Lihuan learned from several Chinese merchants who had returned from Bandang Port that the Dutch army had disembarked and went directly to Langashbetong, more than 70 miles south of Bandang Port. He also heard that the troops of the Sultanate of Bandang Port were also mobilized there.

After asking, Gu Lihuan learned that there was no turmoil in the Sultan of Vandan, he relied on his political sense of practice developed by years of dealing with the British and various sultan countries. His first reaction was that the Dutch went to Bacheng.

Last year, at Zhao Xin's instruction, Gu Lihuan obtained the exclusive agency rights of cooling oil and wind oil from the Bacheng Military Control Commission in Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula, and became a first-level general agent. Now India has to find him if something really happens to Bacheng. Gu Lihuan knows that if something really happens to Bacheng, a profitable general agent business will be ruined, so he hurriedly wrote a book and asked his confidant to take him to Bacheng.

Since Wang Yuanfang and Deng Fei have not returned yet, the temporary person in charge of the Bacheng Military Control Commission was Elu, the battalion commander of the Special Operations Battalion. After reading the letter, he immediately sent a telegram to the North Navy Staff. As soon as the telegram was sent out in the evening, he received a reply at night. Zhao Xin, in the name of the North Navy Staff, ordered him to immediately find Chinese people familiar with the situation in Lankasbetong in Bacheng as a guide and go there to reconnaissance.

Langasbetong is only more than 150 miles away from Batavia. When Bacheng was occupied by the Dutch, the trade contacts between the two places were very frequent, and many Chinese merchants had been there. After the Northern Navy occupied Bacheng, the Dutch did not block people from commuting to the intersection of the border.

However, when the reconnaissance followed the guide into the Tangerang area in the west of Bacheng, he was stopped by the local soldiers of the Sultanate of Vandan and was not allowed to go west. After that, the guide took several paths and found the checkpoints set by the local soldiers, so the two had to retreat to Bacheng.

At this time, Zhao Xin and the others who received the telegram had already judged that Gu Lihuan's information was very likely to be true, so Zhao Xin immediately ordered the 5,000 servants who were doing tropical adaptability training at the Jinlan Bay base to take Zheng Yi's fleet to Bacheng in batches.

Among the five major leaders of the Northern Navy, Liu Sheng and Fan Tong are in Khalkha, Wu Siyu is in Heilongjiang City to command the "spring offensive". Deng Fei's wife has just given birth, and Wang Yuanfang's wife's due date is almost here.

As for the future Borneo Governor He Xiwen, Zhao Xin was not very relieved; after all, this person had not returned to Beihai Town to receive a real military officer education, and he was still an old-fashioned "pirate-type" general.

So Zhao Xin decided to leave the scene in person and go to Bacheng to take charge of command, intending to completely eliminate the VOC forces in West Java through this battle. In addition, according to the historical estimates of another time and space, the British in the South Asian subcontinent will soon take action on local governance, so they need to make some preparations in advance.

On May 3, after Zhao Xin had a meeting with Deng Fei, Wang Yuanfang, Chen Qingsong, Yu Deli and others, everyone agreed to his plan and arrangements.

This time, Zhao Xin no longer played the "Great Movement", but instead took some of the staff from the General Staff, the Marine Battalion and some of the special operations camps that had ended their vacation to Bacheng on the Jinglei. After he left, Deng Fei went to Ningguta to command the battle against Wula in Jilin, while Wang Yuanfang stayed in Beihai Town to guard the house.

On May 6, after waving goodbye to everyone who came to see him off, the Thunder left Whale Port and set out towards Java thousands of miles away. Along the way, telegrams from Bacheng came from time to time, and new situations were happening every day.

According to the news obtained from the Chinese and British merchants who came to Bacheng to trade, the Dutch East India Company had prepared for nearly two years and collected some troops from the five vassal sultanates, including Banten, Jingleben, Thoreau, Yogyakarta and Mango Nikaran, and the Dutch themselves recruited more than 20,000 mercenaries from Europe, Africa and India. Under the leadership of the new governor Peter Herardus von Overstraten, it planned to launch an attack on Bacheng from west, south and east after the rainy season (from October to May of each year).

The Bacheng Military Control Commission had heard about the situation of Overstratten last year. It is said that this person succeeded William Arnold Artin in early 1792 and served as the governor of the Dutch East Indies. Although he was only 38 years old this year, he was appointed as a special member of the Batavian Judicial Committee at the age of 25 and was promoted to a formal member at the age of 26. He was very smart and capable. After staying in Bacheng for two years, he was transferred to India to serve as the second-class secretary and first-class secretary there.

When Beihai Town attacked Bacheng, Overstratten was in the southeast of Java, so Bacheng's failure had nothing to do with him. In addition, because this person successfully helped the Yogyakarta Sultanate to independence from the Malay Sultanate, VOC decided to take over as the Governor of Artin.

Zhao Xindian ordered Elu to hand over the task of defending Bacheng to He Xiwen, who had returned from Borneo, and asked the Hokkaido camp to assist. At the same time, Elu led the troops of the Special Forces Battalion to go out to the Langasbetong area, waiting for an opportunity to carry out a raid for the Dutch and indigenous coalition forces.

"Since you don't give up, then I'll do it again!"
