The small setbacks suffered by the Hoi An Camp reconnaissance team were just a wave in the process of He Xiwen's troops conquering Guangxi, and had no effect on the general trend.

Worried that the Qing army would come back again, Chen Wenxiu buried the sacrificed subordinates and retreated to the landing position with the wounded and equipment. He asked his deputy to lead the ship to send the wounded to find the large army, and he and several subordinates stayed in order to continue to monitor the movements of the Qing army.

Speaking of which, the wolf soldiers thought that no one could save the poison they applied to their weapons, but what they didn't know was that the Hoi An camp had been training in tropical and subtropical areas over the years, and was bitten by snakes and insects from time to time, and snake medicine had become a must-have for every soldier.

This matter was first proposed by Wang Yuanfang. After all, he had served in the southeast coast for a long time, and encountered poisonous snakes many times in combat and training, and he had a deep understanding of this. After hitting Chin City, he suggested to Zhao Xin that he would purchase a large number of "snake pills" from another time and space, and distributed them to the combat troops at the first level of the class. He then offered a popular class for snake injury treatment.

Speaking of which, traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down for thousands of years. Before serum treatment, there have always been good snake medicines among the people. However, because they are all secret recipes, they are not widely circulated. In addition, the bites of poisonous snakes mainly occur in rural mountains and forests, and the daylily is cold when you find a doctor.

At noon the next day after the battle of the small hills, the bamboo raft fleet of Huian Camp arrived five miles south of Ma'an Pass. When the troops began to land, the regiment's artillery troops set up positions, and the Qing army at Ma'an Pass also entered the countdown to the demise.

After two hours of preparation, all the shooting elements were calibrated. With the order of the regiment commander Wei Chao, twelve 82mm mortars opened fire one after another. The villages on both sides of Ma'an Pass immediately turned into a sea of ​​fire. The defenders were killed and injured, and even the guerrillas in the palm prints were blown to death without any corpse. A few survivors, led by Qian Zongmeng Denggao, fled in a hurry toward Teng County.

Later, Chen Wenxiu and his men searched the ruins of the city and found the drone fragments buried in the rubble. The big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

As for the "iron rope crossing the river" that caused a headache in ancient troops, is that still a problem? A few small explosive packs can be done. Some troublesome are the shipwrecks that block the river channel, and people have to be sent to dive to remove the thick wooden nails.

Before the sun set, two companies of Huian Camp occupied Ma'an Pass. At dusk, several mortar shells fell into the yard of the city's defense department in Ying'en Gate south of the county town with a shrill roar. Not only did the house collapse, but more than a hundred officers and soldiers who were having supper were killed and injured.

The huge explosion scared the officers and soldiers and ordinary people inside and outside Teng County. Many people hid at home and shivered, feeling that the destructive end of the world was right in front of them. Especially the group of wolf soldiers who had just escaped from Ma'an Pass, they had just experienced a huge bombardment in the afternoon. They finally escaped and took a breath, and the shells were chasing again.

In the eyes of these Qing troops in Guangxi who had fought with the Northern Navy for the first time, the "cannon" of the Northern Navy was really evil, just like they had eyes, and they would fight wherever they had more soldiers.

However, even at this point, neither the county magistrate nor the deputy general of the Pingle Association did not consider surrendering.

The same is true. The Qing Dynasty has been vigorously promoting "governing the country with filial piety" for more than a hundred years and has also formulated laws to safeguard it. Therefore, the people attach great importance to filial piety. Surrender seems to be a matter of loyalty and righteousness, but behind it, it involves the parents in their hometown being punished, but in fact it is unfilial.

The fool doesn't want to live well! The key is that a crime of "unfilial piety" is detained and he will die directly from the community and never be able to raise his head. Even if he becomes an official in Beihai Town, he will be stabbed in the back.

However, officials did not dare to surrender. The people born and raised were different. Not many people were willing to follow them to bury them. Some people even felt that this was still an opportunity to change their destiny...

Located at the mouth of Xiujiang River ten miles away from the east gate of Teng County, there is a place called Sanhezui, which is very important. The Ming Dynasty's "Tengcheng Record" says: The Xiujiang River flows north and goes beyond the east of the city, and the second river flows in Dongguang, called Sanjiang Huikou, with boats and cars gathering, and people are crowded. In the past, there were flood soldiers and yamen runners stationed here to set up checks on passing ships and collect taxes. The news of the fall of Beiliu County reached Teng County, and the gentry in the city forced to recruit more than a thousand fishermen and farmers to form a water camp to guard the place.

Among the more than a thousand people, there was a fishmonger named Huang Zhengwu, who was very loyal and had a prestige among the fishermen. After the establishment of the Water Camp, it became a leader and took charge of more than 200 brothers. When the two assault boats of the Hoi An Camp reconnaissance team roared and rushed to the river east of Sanhezui, the Water Camp was immediately in an uproar, thinking that the North Navy was about to land. Huang Zhengwu led more than 200 subordinates to mutiny, and the Water Camp collapsed in an instant.

As a result, the almost broken string of civil and military officials in Teng County could no longer be held back. Zhang Shi, deputy general of Pingle Association, Teng County Magistrate Zhang Shi, Dian Shi Zhou Jilong, and the instructors fled in panic after hearing the news. More than 300 soldiers from the Central Army of Pingle Association escorted them out of the city from Gongchen Gate to the north and headed towards the Baishizhai Inspection Office fifty miles northwest. There was a Wutun City built during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. It had undergone many renovations and reconstructions and was an important part of the Linjiang defense system in the northern part of Teng County.

It doesn't matter if they run away. The remaining wolf soldiers and brave brave men were in the city without a leader, and some people began to take advantage of the situation. Huang Zhengwu took the opportunity to rush into the city from the north gate, shouting "The Northern Hair Army has entered the city", and heading straight to the county government. As a result, he really asked him to copy it. The nearly 10,000 taels of silver stored in the warehouse didn't have time to take it away. It was donated by the gentry and merchants in the city for military pay.

That night, fire was everywhere in Teng County, and it was till the sky was shining. There were many gentry and merchant houses robbed. Zhuangyong was a local, but he didn't dare to be too arrogant and took advantage of the chaos. The most cruel ones were all wolves. It was dark and ignited, no matter what kind of master scholar you were, you broke the door and rushed in and robbed it, and then escaped from the north gate with a large bag of small bags.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After dawn, the camp team came to the city and saw four gates open. In addition to Huang Zhengwu, who claimed to be the leader of the "Yimin", they were also the people of Teng County who survived the disaster.

Not to mention how Hui'anying camp opened the warehouse and released grain after entering the city, appeased the people, and gathered the ships. In the afternoon of the same day, a telegram signed by He Xiwen arrived from Lianzhou to the North Navy Staff thousands of miles away. When Zhao Xin, who was in Furdan City, saw the telegram, it was already evening.

To this day, Furdan City has become a large city with more than 70,000 permanent residents. The previous earthen city wall has long disappeared. The whole city is like a huge chessboard, spread out in a scattered manner on the impact plain between Lefu River and Suifen River. If the obsessive-compulsive patient sees it, Zhubao will feel very cured.

Because the agricultural area is fifteen miles away from the north, extending to Xingkai Lake, the city of Furdan has become the most important agricultural product processing base in Beihai Town. In addition to sugar factories, meat-related factories, canning factories, textile factories, garment factories and wineries, the tobacco factories, match factories and leather factories that were previously established in Beihai Town have also been moved here.

Speaking of this winery in Beihai Town, it uses solid fermentation method to produce alcohol, with an annual output of 15,000 tons. In recent years, Beihai Town has grown beets on a large scale in Heilongjiang area, with an annual output of more than one million tons. If they are all made into white sugar, they cannot be sold at all. Of course, it is not impossible to dump at a low price, but in the Guangdong and Guangxi areas, the people who make a living by planting sugarcane will be miserable.

In ten years, the travelers led by Zhao Xin devoted all their efforts to build four industrial towns, from south to north, Beihai Town, Furdan City, Boli, and Oha in the north of Kuye Island. Beihai Town is now mainly for shipbuilding, among which Dolphin Bay is a military port and Whale Bay is a civilian port; Furdan City is an agricultural and light industry; Boli is a heavy industrial base such as steel manufacturing, machinery manufacturing and military industry; Needless to say, Oha, oil and wood processing.

Last spring, the first north-south railway in Beihai Town finally broke ground, starting from Boli in the north and ending at Whale Port in the south. When the railway is completed and opened to traffic, a large number of industrial products can reach the port and then be transported to various places by sea.

In addition, one-third of the main construction of the railway line from Yaksa to Chita, which started construction the year before yesterday, has completed one-third of the main construction. Since the entire line is located in the frozen land area, the construction is extremely difficult. The most difficult one is to build a railway bridge across the Ergun River.

The bridge engineering drawings were obtained by Zhao Xin from Damao in another time and space, and the designer was Proskuryakov, a famous bridge design expert when Tsarist Russia built the Siberian Railway.

Zhao Xin came to Fuldan City this time to preside over a special meeting of the "29-member Committee" of the time travelers. The contents of the decision at this meeting will set a tone for another conference, including the indigenous people of this time and space, so as to prepare political, ideological and economic preparations before the North Navy enters the pass.

When the lights are on at dusk, smoke is rising over Furdan City, and each family is organizing dinner, and the men at home are going to get off work and go home. For ordinary people living in the northeast, it is really pleasant to surround themselves on the warm kang every night, chat about family matters, eat, and then listen to the news and briefs in the conversation.

These people who left their hometowns and came to the Northeast never dreamed of having their lives today. Although the winter here is biting cold, they can hold fifty acres of land, work in factories, study in their children, hospitals when they are sick, and white flour every now and then, and they can eat meat every now and then, as if they are living a fairy-like life.

At this time, in the flower hall of Chen Qingsong's house, a huge purple clay hot pot was placed in the middle of the large round table of the rosewood. The silver charcoal inside was ripped, but there was no smell of fireworks. Zhou Za's carefully cooked broth with whole chicken had already rolled away, and the snow-white ginseng slices and red dates were churning up and down in the pot, and the heat rushed straight to the roof.

The hot pot is surrounded by eight-inch plum blossom plates with enamel glaze, with a large variety of seasonings such as deer spine, lamb slices, lamb tenderloin, salmon, prawns, abalone slices, sea cucumber slices, turf, mushrooms, vegetables, and radishes. A small table next to it is also filled with sesame sauce, rice wine, sauce tofu, leek flowers, soy sauce and other seasonings.

Compared to silver charcoal that costs two taels of silver per pound in the pass, birch trees over fifty years old in the northeast are everywhere, which is not worth the money at all. Some immigrants who have done charcoal burning in the past have discovered it and opened charcoal kilns. However, most of the immigrants in Beihai Town are from hardships and do not pay attention to using silver charcoal. Sales are just that. If you don’t burn a hot kang, you have to learn from the rich man to burn charcoal basin? You’re full!

The hostess Qinghe saw her husband Chen Qingsong attracting Zhao Xin, Wu Siyu, Cao Peng and Liu Zheng, and sat down from the study. She picked up a wine pot from the small table and poured a circle of rice wine along the edge of the pot. In an instant, the fragrance was everywhere. Even Liu Zheng, who had been tired of beef and mutton in Kulun for two years, had a big index finger.

Speaking of the dozens of women who Zhao Xin and the others "stole" from Yangzhou, now, except for the youngest ones who are still in their mouths, everyone else has a home. For nine years, they have never suffered and suffered as teachers. Now they are all in their twenties and are in their prime. Qinghe, who is good at cooking, was originally the least handsome among these women, but it just came into Chen Qingsong's eyes, became a wife, and gave birth to a son and a daughter. In the future, they were definitely the "master's wife" and made countless people envious.

After Qinghe finished her work, she said a few words to everyone and went back to the back house. The female family members there also opened a large table, Shen Xuan, A Miao, Lin Sanyue, Liu Zheng’s two wives, and a large group of children, she had to take care of her.

The matter between Zhao Xin and A Miao was handled after he came back from Shengjing before the Mid-Autumn Festival. He did not publicize it to the public. He just invited some elderly people from Beihai Town, including Chen Qingsong, Hong Tao, Li Ji, Wan Zao and his family, to testify, and set up several banquets. Shen Xuan agreed very early when asked A Miao to enter the door. This girl knew too many secrets about Zhao Xin, and even Shen Xuan was not very clear about some things. In this sense, except for marrying Zhao Xin, there is no second possibility.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhao Xin felt guilty about A Miao. He could not give the latter a formal identity. Beihai Town has been holding high the banner of "abolishing slaves" over the years. Taking a concubine is equivalent to rekindling the slave system. Although Liu Zheng is two wives, only one of them is disclosed to the public. However, A Miao doesn't care about this. She is full of love and drinks water. As long as she can always be with Zhao Xin, she will be content.

The men, including Zhao Xin, are not literati and scholars, and they can't play with any chanting poems, drinking wine, and after drinking a few glasses of rice wine, they were drunk and soon turned the topic to Heshen's escape.

A few months have passed, and the Intelligence Bureau has thoroughly found out what happened in the capital that night and the next day. When everyone was chatting in the study, Zhao Xin gave a rough talk, and now he talked about some of the details. Everyone here was moved after hearing this.

Cao Peng sighed: "It's really amazing to play with the master. Qianlong is so nice to him, and he can do it."

"What a bullshit!" Liu Zheng picked up the wine glass and clinked Cao Peng, drank it for a half cup before saying, "Don't you think he did so many bad things Qianlong didn't know? I want me to tell you that Qianlong played with an eagle for a lifetime, but was blinded by the eyes."

Cao Peng has been in the island country for the past two years. Although he is inevitably intrigue, he is the powerful Beihai Town behind him. Both the Sendai vassal and the shogunate always offer him his ancestors, just like the Supreme Emperor. Liu Zheng is different. He has fought with the Lama Taiji and the Lama Taiji in the past two years and suffered several losses. He is very capable of being tempered with his political sensitivity.

Wu Siyu agreed: "Xiao Liu's words are up to the point."

Chen Qingsong suddenly interrupted, "Actually, the key here is that the emperor's skills of using people are at the cost of the blame."

As soon as this said, Cao Peng, Wu Siyu and Liu Zheng couldn't help but look at Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin was picking up abalone with chopsticks. These days, he was so waving that he had to make up for it. He looked up casually and saw that the three of them were looking at him. He smiled and said, "What do you think of me? I don't have any wine or food on my face. Lao Chen, please continue."

Chen Qingsong also drank a lot today, blushing like a monkey butt. Seeing that the "future emperor" didn't care, he thought about it for a moment before saying in a deep voice: "We can only say this in the closed door, and no one can spread it to the outside world. To put it bluntly, the ancient emperors' skills of using people are to use villains but not gentlemen. It is better to use mistakes than to make achievements. A gentleman cannot do anything. An official who can balance the interests of all parties and satisfy most people is a capable minister, and such people in history are often not gentlemen."

Cao Peng thought about it, nodded and shook his head, "Well, that's the reason. It's not right! Hong Liangji and Liu Taigong are quite upright. Don't we entrusted important tasks to guard the Mu side?"

Chen Qingsong smiled and said nothing, and looked at Zhao Xin again.

Although Zhao Xin never puts on airs when talking in private with other time travelers, he always says that his status as an emperor is just a transition, but he is the foundation of Beihai Town after all, and there is no way to talk about anything without him. So even if you laugh, everyone should be careful when talking to Zhao Xin. If anyone can't see this clearly, it will be no different from the two people who were under house arrest in Whale Town who were waiting to die. So Chen Qingsong could not say anything else when he talked to this point. The rest can only be added by Zhao Xin.

Zhao Xin looked at Chen Qingsong as if she was drunk and put down her chopsticks and laughed. Both of them were from the thousand-year-old fox level, and it was boring to be mysterious. He had killed two plates of abalone and a plate of venison at this moment. He felt that he had almost done it, so he picked up a towel and wiped his mouth, took another sip of tea, and said slowly: "What Lao Chen said is right, right."

Chen Qingsong smiled and said, "Then I will listen carefully."

Cao Peng knew that with his relationship with Zhao Xin, he would not stay in the Sendai vassal in the future. He would definitely manage one side. It was too important to master the knowledge of how to use people. So he picked up the teapot and sent Zhao Xin to ask for advice and said, "Boss Zhao, don't make any mistakes, why don't I give you a piece of pork tomorrow as a teacher's ceremony?"

Chen Qingsong smiled and said, "Hehe, Xiao Cao, you still claim to be a descendant of the Cao family in She County. You have to have at least ten pieces of bacon for the rituals of cultivation!"

"If you want to explain this problem clearly... what a gentleman or a villain is, you have to figure it out first." Zhao Xin pondered for a moment and continued to explain: "When Confucius said this, it was pre-Qin. Zuo Zhuan said that the great work was still in the past. The gentleman worked hard, and the villain worked hard, and the villain worked hard, which was the system of the previous kings. He also said, "The rule of the world is that a gentleman could still give up his subordinates, and the villain was able to serve the superiors and subordinates with courtesy. Therefore, the villain mentioned by Confucius is actually the people at the bottom. In order to live a good life, the people cannot speak of benevolence, righteousness and morality like a gentleman, but should talk about interests. Therefore, Confucius also said that the virtues of a gentleman are the virtues of a villain, and the wind on the grass will surely silence."

"Close your eyes?" Cao Peng blinked. He just roughly turned over the "Analects of Confucius" and didn't read it carefully.

Liu Zheng interrupted, "The ruler is the wind, and the common people are grass. Wherever the wind blows, the grass falls."

"Bang!" Zhao Xin's old problem came again. He slapped Liu Zheng in the thigh and said in surprise: "Okay! Doctor Liu, it seems that he has read a lot in Kulun in the past two years!"

Liu Zheng bared his teeth and opened Zhao Xin's hand, rubbed it hard and said, "The blue sky, white clouds, the grassland, what's the point of reading every day! Didn't you tell me that you can read more books? You can't be worse than a scholar."

Zhao Xin patted the other person's shoulder in agreement, turned to Cao Peng and said, "A gentleman is open and honest, but a villain is always worried. Have you ever heard this?"

"I heard it. It's not good things."

Zhao Xin shook his head and said, "In ancient times, including now, rulers did not worry about their livelihoods, but the common people had to turn their heads to the loess and their backs to the sky, and they had to throw eight petals of sweat beads. After paying the imperial grain, they had to pay rent. Why do you think they were not worried about gains and losses and were petty? Are they wrong?"

"If the superiors want to choose the person who implements the specific execution, they must choose those who understand the sufferings of the people at the bottom and how to distribute their interests, because only these people are not ashamed to talk about interests. Only talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality in their work, but they are just hooligans. Heshen did not look at the wealth and honor of Qianlong, but his family was in decline in the early years, suffered a lot at the bottom and saw a lot of human feelings. He knew the interests too well. The problem of the Qianlong Dynasty was not Heshen, but the emperor himself and the feudal centralized system. Although the Censorate had a complete supervision system, the so-called supervision was just a means for the emperor to rectify civil and military officials. It was entirely out of personal likes and dislikes, and it was nothing more than a piece of paper."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Supervision Law of the Qing Dynasty was called "Imperially Decreed Taiwan Rules". It was compiled in the eighth year of Qianlong and was divided into eight volumes and 22 items. In the following decades, a large number of clauses were added, which can be said to be the master of the Supervision Law in the feudal dynasty. However, in the face of the official atmosphere that has existed since the Ming Dynasty, many clauses cannot be enforced at all.

For example, local officials are extravagant when welcoming and sending superior officials to pass through the border and sending money and gifts. However, in reality, this kind of extravagant entertainment and gift-giving has become almost a convention; the law prohibits the sale of positions of yamen clerks in any form, but successor clerks pay a price for purchasing positions to resigning clerks - also called "bottom-free", which has become an unbreakable convention.

Like the Ming Dynasty, the "Imperial Taiwan Rules" of the Qing Dynasty also gave the six statutes the privilege of refuting the officials; however, the dictatorships of the Qing Dynasty were taken by the emperor, and the power of refuting the officials of the six statutes was almost never exercised. Who dared?

Although the emperor blurred the boundaries between Manchu and Han on the surface, in fact, they believed from the bottom of their heart that this country could only be Manchu. The emperor's decisions only require execution and cannot be argued about it! So the country is not owned, so why should it be so serious?

Zhao Xin directly took Cao Peng's original family member Cao Zhenyong as an example. This man has been a senior sect in the three dynasties of Qianlong, Jiaqing and Daoguang in history, but he has been mediocre all his life. Not only did he practice the official prose of "kow more and talk less", he also taught his disciples and juniors, and even warned his disciples and juniors not to be too busy with the responsibility of correcting the bullets. He asked them to "talk more and not be happy!" The censors who were originally trying to make suggestions because of the decline of the country had to live up to their "experiences" when they heard their mentors' "experiences".

Taking advantage of Zhao Xin's time to drink water to moisten his throat, Chen Qingsong also mentioned a couplet of the Qing Dynasty officialdom that he had seen in a book: "The first couplet is, "Grandmaster, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, First Grade, Lord, and First Grade, and He will be promoted to the Thirty-Six Heavenly Palace, and build a tiling with the Jade Emperor."

"Haha, where is the second couplet?"

"I am very damn, I am very damn, I die to the eighteen levels of hell, and dig coal for the King of Hell."

"Hahahaha~~! It's amazing!"

In fact, when talking about this, we have extended from the issue of employment to the major issue of administration. In fact, it is the historical proposition that the North Navy can firmly sit in the world after entering the pass.

To put it bluntly, behind all systems is thought and culture, which also determines the way of thinking and value orientation. The political form of ancient China was ethical. Starting from the Western Zhou Dynasty's "virtue to heaven", virtue is the rule of punishment and auxiliary law is the governing strategy of most dynasties.

Although morality is used as the basic means of controlling politics and has a universal binding force on the whole society, morality is only authoritative in concept and cannot be guaranteed to control political power. Its realization can only depend on the ruler's own moral sense and ideological awareness, which has a great arbitrary nature.

Since the monarch was ordered by heaven and held all the power of justice, administration and legislation, all his attitudes became an unwritten law under invisible deterrence and coercion. In fact, it was this ethical politics that gave the supervision system in the feudal era an excuse. Since the monarch's power was morally restrained and the monarch's mistakes were punished by heaven, then the bottom-up supervision mechanism was less important.

At the end of the conversation, everyone also understood the meaning of Zhao Xin's words, that is, traveling through time cannot become a new privileged class, and bureaucrats and scholars under the Beihai Town system can no longer enjoy the privileges of the past. This move will further confirm the identity of Emperor Zhao Xin's name. It is called the imperial system, and it is actually a republic.

When the few people left Chen Qingsong's house, it was already past 12 o'clock in the evening, and the women had already taken their children back. Before Zhao Xin got on the carriage, Liu Zheng came over to call him and whispered: "Boss Zhao, those Mongolian princes have been here for more than a year, so it's not a big deal to stay under house arrest. There must be an explanation, right?"

"What's wrong?"

"You don't know that Tushetuhan's wife goes to the Military Control Commission every now and then, asking, "I'll hide if I can." Liu Zheng didn't dare to say much. In fact, the families of several princes from various Khalkha Mongolian tribes have looked for him in the past six months, and some people under the banner below used this to make trouble, but they were quickly suppressed.

"You have taken time to see those people on my behalf these days, tell them, and let them go back when we take down the capital."

"By the way, what are you going to do that Hami King?"
Chapter completed!
