Chapter 746 The Tormented Baby in Phoenix Tower

Shengjing City was conquered, and the next step for the Northern Navy was to take over the city as planned.

The political work team of nearly 2,000 people outside the city has been preparing for entering the city since the beginning of the general attack. There were more than 500 people in the first batch of people. They were divided into more than a dozen teams of different numbers and went to their respective designated locations for reception. The most important of these are the palace, the General Office of Shengjing, the Five Departments, the Fengtian Prefecture and the Chengde County Office. Whether it is the archives in the palace, the silver warehouse, the grain warehouse, and the pavilion warehouse, it is very important to the urban management after Beihai Town.

"All pay attention! Now click on the name!" The captain of the team where Wang Cong'er was cleared and read it at the small notebook in his hand.

"Niu Qingbao!"

"arrive!"

"Wang Cong'er!"

"arrive!"

"Yu Huifen!"

"arrive!"

"Lin Qizong!"

"arrive!"

......

There are fifty people in Wang Cong'er's team. Most of the members are young people who have just graduated from administrative schools. One third of them are women, and the oldest is only nineteen. In addition, there are several "Beihai Town Scholars" who participated in the imperial examination last year and are still in the study period. The captain is 40 years old and the first batch of naturalized people from the island country, named Gao Zheng, who has been in the General Security and Police Department before.

Even after spending almost a year in Beihai Town, I have seen a lot of new things. However, for these ancient scholars who have read the Four Books and Five Classics and have received Confucian education since childhood, "male and female defense" has always been a forbidden zone in their hearts. They are extremely repulsive of the "equality between men and women" advocated by Beihai Town, and even argue with teachers in class.

Liu Siting was extremely dissatisfied when she heard about this. As a member of the 29-person committee of Beihai Town, she simply let the radio station broadcast "Women Can Hold Half of the Sky" for a week. Of course, it was a slightly modified version of the lyrics, which made the scholars dumbfounded.

Zhao Xin was amused and laughed when he learned about it. After consideration, he asked Yu Deli to choose some "new scholars" with good grades and still had a good idea. He went to the south to stay for a while, even if it was an internship. At the same time, he also asked them to see how much female students trained in Beihai Town did not do anything worse than those of them, such as "sour scholars".

Nowadays, not counting the primitive tribes of the matriarchal clans, the only regime in the world advocates "equality between men and women". This is the only one, and there is no semicolon. For example, in the industries of cigarettes, matches, spinning, weaving, clothing making, sugar, and canning, practitioners are basically women, which greatly makes up for the insufficient labor force in Beihai Town in the industrial development.

This also shows a problem: whenever a country wants to engage in industrialization and not improve the social status of women, it is completely a matter of abortion - there is no chance.

Because the work team is not a regular unit, after the name was selected, the young people in the team talked about the battle that had just ended in the city. Seeing this, Gao Zheng waved his hand to stop everyone's talk and said:

"Everyone is quiet! Let me tell you something. Our team's mission is to receive the palace and cultural relics archives of the Qing Dynasty. As for the above, we know that no one has entered the palace, we transferred two new members and arrived in a while. They used to be eunuchs in the palace and were sent by the Qing Dynasty in the early years. The reason they were asked to come was because they were very familiar with the facilities inside the palace. When people came, everyone must express a warm welcome. Their voices were different from normal people, so don't make a fuss! Oh, you have to pay attention to it. Don't call them 'husband'! This is a very discriminatory name, and it's not OK to say it privately."

Eunuch? Isn’t that a eunuch? Why did Beihai Town even recruit such people?

Lin Qizong and several other scholars, standing in the team, couldn't help but mutter. However, when they thought they would enter the palace later, they felt that it would be impossible without these people.

Before lunch, two old men arrived accompanied by an officer. They were all wearing fat military uniforms without military ranks and looked very reserved. In the subsequent introduction, everyone learned that one of them was Zhang Yinliang and the other was Liu Qing; the former was in his sixties and the latter was in his early fifties.

When Gao Zheng introduced the team members, he asked everyone to call the two of them "masters" in the future. The two old men said they didn't dare to do so. Only then did everyone notice that the two of them were taller and thinner than ordinary people, and had no beard on their faces.

After the simple welcome ceremony, Wang Cong'er walked to the two old men with a smile, pulled Zhang Yinliang's arm and said, "Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Liu, you two are you!"

"My daughter, I haven't seen each other for some days and I've been tanned. Where is your man?"

"It's in the city. Maybe I'll meet you when I enter the city later."

"That's good!"

Seeing Wang Cong'er, Zhang Yinliang and Liu Qing were so happy. The nervous mood was much relaxed because they were afraid of looking down on him. The girl and the others were too familiar with each other. They almost watched her grow from a naughty girl to a big girl, and then she sat in a sedan chair and married into a wife.

When Beihai Town was fighting Ningguta and Heilongjiang City in her early years, she discovered many exiled eunuchs. Most of these people were slaves in armor, lacking food and food, and had extremely poor living conditions. In order to obtain the Qing Dynasty palace ban from these people, some of them were taken back to Beihai Town. Later, except for the young Chunlai who entered the civil affairs system, other older people also arranged work within their ability, and their living conditions were very different from those in the past.

Zhang Yinliang is one of these exiled eunuchs. He once worked in the Qing Palace Building Office. More than ten years ago, he saw another eunuch being punished by Qianlong for no reason in the mountains and rivers of the Old Summer Palace. He showed dissatisfaction on his face. As a result, he was seen by the slim Qianlong. He was furious and sent to Heilongjiang to be a slave.

After being rescued, Zhang Yinliang was moved by Zhao Xin and others who treated them as human beings rather than a lowly slave, so he revealed a lot of situations in the palace and garden. Later, the Beijing Intelligence Station was able to develop the deputy director of the Jingshifang into a secret line, and he was half of the credit.

After settling down in Beihai Town, in addition to the long winter, he would sometimes go fishing by the Falin River in his spare time. Once, he encountered a group of naughty kids led by Wang Cong'er playing in the water.

At that time, Zhang Yinliang was afraid that something would happen to the children, so he kindly reminded him. As a result, his tall and thin voice scared away many children. However, Wang Cong'er did not run away, but instead stood by the side quietly watching him fishing.

Zhang Yinliang saw that this girl looked well-behaved and always stared at the fish she caught, so he gave her two. Wang Cong'er was overjoyed. This was her purpose, and she took it home and let her mother stew it.

After that, Zhang Yinliang often met greedy girls by the river, and the two gradually became familiar with each other. After a while, the old and the young became friends.

The old man entered the palace at the age of seven and learned how to serve noble people and please others. He felt that he was not easy to coax a little girl. But who knew that Wang Cong'er had been wandering around with her mother since he was a child, and he was so stingy that he only said that his mother was a servant for others. How could he say that he could not defeat the thief of his family in his hometown?

It was not until the day Zhao Xin got married that Zhang Yinliang and several old eunuchs helped to arrange etiquette and saw Wang Cong'er led by Fang Hua on the spot, and then he realized that the other party's identity was extraordinary.

Let's get back to the point. At 1:00 noon, the people from the political team received the notice and immediately gathered into the city. So everyone gathered in a hurry and set off with their bags and flags on their backs.

At this time, the battle in the city had basically ended, but the siege troops were still searching and suppressing the remnants of the Qing army everywhere, and sporadic gunfires were still heard in the outer city. Wang Cong'er and the others came in from the Great North Gate. When they were about to reach Fusheng Gate in the inner city, they saw teams of Qing army captives walking westward under the North Navy.

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

Captain Gao Zheng said: "First go to the temporary guard point in the west, and then send it to Tieling. We circled a large piece of land at the foot of Longshou Mountain, and the prisoner camp is there."

"Oh! When Tieling came, he came here. It took more than a hundred miles and it took only a few days." Zhang Yinliang walked a few steps and asked again: "Daughter, what do you think Prince Zhao will deal with them in the future? Or let them go to build roads?"

Wang Cong'er said: "This time is not! It takes a lot of labor to build a reservoir on the Songhua River."

Zhang Yinliang said curiously: "Can the reservoir be built in water?"

Wang Cong'er smiled, then explained briefly, and finally concluded: "When the reservoir is built, the Songhua River will not generate heavy floods in the future, and it will also generate electricity. When the electricity is available tomorrow, the people of Jilin City will also be able to use electric lights at night."

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

As he walked and said, he looked around, and a group of fifty people soon arrived at the door of the Qing Dynasty. Captain Gao Zheng showed the pass issued by the headquarters to the soldiers standing guard at the door. Several soldiers looked carefully, checked the list of personnel, and then put them in.

From the moment more than fifty people walked into the Qing Dynasty, their eyes were not enough. Most of them were so excited that they couldn't speak, and their faces were red with excitement. The red walls and yellow tiles were within reach, and the tall and majestic Phoenix Tower in the distance... It turned out that this was where the emperor lived! If it weren't for the repeated vaccinations before, several scholars would almost kneel down.

Wang Cong'er was not as excited as others. Because of Xu Jian and Zhao Xin's relationship, she had seen many pictures of the Forbidden City. Compared with the imperial palace in the capital, the scale of Shengjing Palace is much smaller. Soon, she noticed that at the gate of Chongzheng Palace, there were several soldiers with familiar faces standing at the gate of Chongzheng Palace. After closer two steps, she almost screamed in surprise.

These people are actually Zhao Xin's guards! Others don't know them, but when Wang Cong'er was a child, she often went to Zhao Xin's house to play, tease cats and dogs, bully Xu Jian's younger brother, and patted Zhao Xin's son's little butt, and lived a happy life.

Several guards also noticed Wang Cong'er, and their originally stern faces showed a smile. This person is not an ordinary person, he is considered half of Zhao Xin's daughter-in-law!

"Why are you here too? Are you..." Before Wang Cong'er finished speaking, he saw a guard put his index finger upright on his mouth, and immediately stopped asking.

"The leader is in the Phoenix Tower behind, and your family is also there. I just went in for a while. Do you want to meet me?"

"Okay, okay! Wait until I say something to the captain."

Zhao Xin was actually only ten minutes earlier than Wang Cong'er and the others. At this time, he was taking Xu Jian out of Qingning Palace behind the Phoenix Tower and came to the "Yongfu Palace" in the southwest corner.

"The place is not big. Can Dorgon hide in this cabinet? Besides, there are no windows on the back wall, and he still peeps around? Jin Daxia is so well-made!"

Zhao Xin murmured and looked at the two big cabinets on the left and right sides of the divine platform. Xu Jian behind him was confused, but he felt that the person in front of him seemed to be very familiar with this place.

The two walked out of Yongfu Palace one by one, and happened to meet Wang Cong'er who was jogging up from the steps. When the other party saluted him according to the military rules, Zhao Xin returned the greeting and said with a smile: "Our female hero is here!"

Although he was already a wife, Wang Cong'er's pretty face turned red, and he said half angry and half coquettishly: "It's still an elder! How can you run someone like this when you meet? Wait until you go back and get rid of your precious son." Xu Jian and the guards around him covered their mouths and laughed secretly.

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

When this 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 also be a person like "Dragon Girl Gai Feixia" in the future. Chen Erya couldn't resist and taught some basic skills of long fist to send her. Unexpectedly, after more than a month of practice, Wang Cong'er said that she had achieved great martial arts skills. She jumped down from the roof of her house in front of a group of naughty children, and finally sprained her ankle, scaring Fang Hua and his wife to death.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The couple of Xu Jian said goodbye just in a hurry last time. After so many days, they met again, and the love between children is even stronger. They are not interested in the surrounding scenery or palaces, and they have a lot of things to say to each other.

Zhao Xin knew it well, so he didn't let them accompany him. He took Chai Rugui to the third floor of Phoenix Tower. This building is the tallest building in Shengjing City, and the entire city stands at the top and is completely visible.

It has been one hundred and seventy years! From the loss of Shenyang Guards in the Ming Dynasty and being beaten by Nurhaci, to the Northern Navy he founded now, he has taken back the city.

Looking into the railing, he sighed secretly. Zhao Xin turned around and pushed open the door behind him. When he saw that the things were indeed there. He then pointed to the miscellaneous items piled in the corner and said to Chai Rugui: "Check all these things away, take them away, you must not miss them, don't touch them."

Chai Rugui responded first, then looked at several old screens and a bunch of gourd-like things like cigarette purses covered with yellow cloth. He thought it was just ragged! What's the use of this thing? If you want it, you should also take the deer antler chair you saw before!

When he returned to the command center in the evening, Deng Fei saw the things Zhao Xin brought back and said laughing and crying: "Are you going to collect the junk? You didn't say you would bring some good things to come back when you went to the palace. I remember there were many treasures in the Chenyang Forbidden City!"

Zhao Xin took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and said proudly: "Hehe, there are naturally people who can help clean up those things. What I took back is the good thing."

"Isn't it just an old screen?" Deng Fei said, walked to the standing screen and looked at it carefully for a few seconds, and said in surprise: "Map? Is this the good thing you said? How much can it be sold?"

"The map was painted by Matteo Ricci, it was just a picture book." Zhao Xin got up and walked to the screen, flicked it lightly with two fingers, explaining: "The key is not the surface, but the backing paper inside. What do you guess?"

"Don't keep it aside, I know you read a lot."

"Your idol, Qi Jiguang's authentic work! Priceless treasure!"
