Chapter 355: Intimidate the Tiger, No one dares to be married

Two days later, as the content of the notice spread throughout the city, the anxiety of the people in Heilongjiang City was temporarily alleviated. Since the Northern Navy entered the city, it has not taken any action such as patrolling and standing guards on the streets every day, and maintaining order when receiving food, and has not come to arrest people at all.

On the third day, Guo Dalu and Li Bi posted another notice in the granary to recruit people to work. The content was that regardless of men, women, young and old, each person would be given five cents of silver dollars every day, in addition to feeding the food.

Beihai Town now has too many silver coins to spend at all. Instead of oxidizing it in the warehouse, it is better to take it out and make good use of it. Didn’t the Qing Dynasty give various benefits to the border people? Zhao Xin gave money and bought things after taking the money.

After hearing the news, the border residents who were applying for the recruitment first received tools such as shovels, picks, saws. When they learned that these tools were personally after the project was completed, they were shocked. This was a good thing made of steel!

The first task these people received was to demolish the city walls. The first thing they had to demolish was the wooden city walls on the south and west. In general, the various types of towns built in the northeast in the Qing Dynasty were mainly divided into two categories: military functions and administrative functions; among which there were military functions, there would be city walls, while there would be no administrative functions.

The walls of Heilongjiang City are like those in Ningguta before. They plant trees around the city, mixed with earth and stones. In the 18th century, there were primeval forests everywhere in the northeast. Giant trees held by one person or even two or three people were filled with the mountains and fields. No one would rush to build a stone city.

For the Northern Navy, these city walls were of no use except to defend against wild animals. Instead of doing so, it would be better to demolish the fortifications.

Another day later, a new "Beihai Shopping Company" was opened near Chenghuang Temple on the South Street of Inner City. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell who was the business. The shop closed very late. After dark, two bright horse lanterns were hung at the door, which was very conspicuous on the dark South Street. All kinds of strange things were sold inside, and the prices were very cheap.

There are magic fire-driven rods that are just a stroke, and there are breathless wind lamps that are brighter than lanterns, including cotton, silk, grain, jerky, various needle and thread buttons, and even tea, wine and tobacco.

Many families receive wages every day and go here for dinner. At first, men come, and within two days, women gradually join them. Everything on the shelves made them love. When the shop "shopkeeper" saw the embroidery of leather products worn by men and women of all ethnic groups, they actually proposed to buy them. Such as cloth waist boots, cigarette purses, short-waisted leather boots, leather gloves, leather backpacks, and leather robes worn in winter and spring, the price given also made these women very satisfied.

The Manchus, Daur and Oroqen women in Heilongjiang City are all skilled in embroidery. They usually work at home, and sewing and embroidery are the main ones. When the girls are fifteen or sixteen, they start to learn to sew shoes and socks and other needlework, and then learn to sew clothes and embroidery. When they get married, they have to prepare a lot of pairs of socks. In order to make the soles of the socks solid, they use cotton thread to lay the socks and tie many patterns on the socks, which are beautiful and durable. They are very skilled in embroidery on the uppers of the shoe, cigarette purse, and pillows.

The North Hai Army's move has benefited many families, and women no longer need to go to the city wall construction site to dig soil and move wood. They first went home to find the embroidered leather products they made before, and exchanged them with money from the trading company, and then bought more and better needlework to continue embroidery. Within a few days, the Beihai Trading Company's warehouse was piled with a lot of various fur products.

At this time, when men, women, young and old in the city saw that the soldiers on patrol and guarded the North Navy were not even afraid to breathe like before. They would greet and say hello with a smile. Some bold Daur unmarried women even showed a shy expression when they saw the heroic and upright North Navy soldiers, which made the soldiers on guard jump in their hearts.

The people's hearts are accumulated bit by bit; for Beihai Town, which has given its favors, it has just begun.

On the eighth day after the Northern Navy entered the city, the residents in the city who were notified the day before and the wounded Qing army officers gathered at the North Gate after breakfast. Today, they were going to the north of the city to attend the "public trial meeting" of the Rakshasa prisoners.

When nearly two thousand people followed the road sign to the designated location, they suddenly found a large platform in the scene, with green pine branches and reeds on the high trellis. If they hadn't seen a banner on the trellis, many people would have thought it was a stage.

"Mr. Li, what is it written on it?" The wounded Qing army soldiers with bandages on their arms couldn't help it again.

"Look at it for yourself." Li Yansheng rolled his eyes, thinking that this guy was talking a lot.

"The little one, the little one doesn't know how to read."

"It's so fucking trouble!" Li Yansheng widened his eyes, put his hands on the shed, looked carefully, and slowly recited: "Rakshasa crime public trial meeting?"

"What is a public trial meeting?"

"I don't know!" Li Yansheng thought to himself that these thieves were just taking off their pants and farting. If he followed his thoughts, he would all take them to the Heilongjiang River and chop and feed them. More than a dozen of his men died in battle on the day the Rakshasa landed. Li Yansheng himself also suffered a gunshot wound on his head, so he hated these red-haired Rakshasa to his teeth.

There were many stools made of round wooden stakes on the open space, and they were densely packed. After a while, a melodious sound of flutes came from the platform, resounding throughout the field, and immediately scared the people present, causing an uproar in the audience.

“A big river…”

OK! Someone actually sang.

The men and women present stood up and looked around, but after watching for a long time, except for a few men on the stage, the singing woman did not show up at all!

After listening for a while, many of the people present couldn't understand what the woman was singing, but their voices were soft and melodious, and their voices were still loud. The people who were originally chaotic gradually calmed down and were immersed in the beautiful tunes.

"That's right, this sounds better than those Oroqen women sing."

"Shut up! If you fuck you, I will beat you to death!"

Seeing Li Yansheng's angry look on his face, several Qing army wounded all shut their mouths.

"Why is the woman singing this song with a Shanxi accent?" Li Bi, who was sitting in front of the crowd, listened to the intoxicating tune and felt homesick. This song was different from any small song he had heard before. It was hard for Li Bi to describe what it felt. He only felt that the blood in his chest was surging, his heart was surging, and even his eyes were wet.

After a song, more than 2,000 people in the audience were silent, and everyone was still immersed in the melody just now and could not extricate themselves.

Suddenly, a wounded Qing army soldier from the Han army flag stood up and shouted: "Sing it again!"

"Yes! Sing it again, this song is really nice."

Faced with the surging request, Wu Siyu in the background looked at Zhao Xin and pressed the replay button; Zhao Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This is not a public trial conference, it's a concert."

In fact, when the music was played just now, Zhao Xin was stunned. Especially after just experiencing a battle with the invaders, this song was very meaningful to him.

A big river, Heilongjiang is also a big river...

Just as the whole audience was immersed in the singing, hundreds of invaders brought out from the old city of Aihui and tied up in the fence behind the platform, seemed to understand what was going to happen today; they knelt on the ground with despair on their faces, praying for forgiveness from God or the Virgin.

After the song was broadcast twice, the public trial meeting began, otherwise the concert would have to be changed.

As the bosses of the North Navy, Zhao Xin and Wu Siyu took the lead. They did not say anything passionate, but stood directly behind a table on the left.

Although there was no introduction, the soldiers present in the North Navy saluted to the rostrum. Everyone in the audience knew that this was a high-ranking official of the North Navy, so everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed as before.

Li Yansheng, the leader of the Han army's official Baiqi Association, was reluctant to kowtow to the thief. He took advantage of the fact that everyone was leaning over and kneeling, leaning forward and looking up. He saw a guy with a young and half-sized appearance walking on the stage with a sign similar to a spirit position, putting the wooden sign on the table in the middle, and then stepped aside; then someone held a bouquet of wild flowers and placed it in front of the sign. Then, the exiled Li Bi, who was in the classroom in the official school, also stood on the right side of the platform.

Li Yansheng was a little confused: "What are they doing?"

While I was suspicious, I heard a man on the stage speak in the voice of him: "Get up, everyone sit down."

As soon as this sound came out, everyone was startled again, thinking that why are these thieves so loud?

After everyone sat down tremblingly, Guo Dalu appeared. This young cadre from the administrative school in Deli became the protagonist today. Three years ago, Guo Dalu would never have imagined that his rural child who was sold to northern Jiangsu would be today.

Guo Dalu stood at the bottom of the Zhongxiang table, glanced at the audience with a little nervousness, then raised the two pages of paper in his hand and recited loudly: "It was June, in Wushen, three thousand soldiers from the North Navy led the entire city of Heilongjiang to worship the spirits of all races. Although there were no foods, there were hot blood. I would like to prepare flowers and elegant gifts to worship the heroes..."

"What he read was a tribute!" Li Yansheng felt his forehead explode. He was in a daze for a while, and only heard Guo Dalu's voice coming into his ears again.

"Ah, it hurts! The vast China, the vast nine states, embrace all things in the world, and understand the world in the world. However, the timing changes, things change and stars change, the sea changes, whale sharks rage, mountains are high and tigers and wolves covet. The fisherman songs suddenly stop, mourns the mother's name, tears are scarred, husband and wife suddenly leave, the city dies, women and children are no different, and the old and young are no different. Fortunately, there is the North Sea, the sun and the moon are bright, and brothers join hands to see the sincerity... Now, the public sacrifice is held, and in the name of the country, the public trial of the Rakshasa is to comfort the dead. We will continue the past and wait for the next generation. Alas, the Fu Wei is still in the funeral."

Halfway through hearing this, Li Yansheng had tears in his eyes and knelt on the ground. Among the wounded Qing army present, Li Yansheng had gone to the official school and studied, while the others were in vague. Seeing the leader of the association suddenly kneeling down on the ground and burst into tears, he didn't understand what was going on. The wounded soldier with a bandage tried to come forward to support him, but was pushed away by Li Yansheng.

When Guo Dalu finished reading, Li Bi walked up, took a few pages of paper, and then started reading in Manchu. Compared to Zhao Xin's half-interpretation of the slogan, Li Bi's Manchu translation was much more popular and straightforward.

Everyone present understood that the North Navy was paying tribute to all the victims since the invasion of Rakshasa. So all the soldiers and civilians in the audience knelt down and kowtowed to the spiritual sign on the incense table in the center of the platform. When Li Bi was thinking to the end, there were already crying sounds off the scene.

After reading the sacrificial text, Zhao Xin then walked to the incense table in the middle of the platform to pick up three pillars of incense and bowed three more times. After all, more than 2,000 people present kowtowed to Zhao Xin and expressed their gratitude.

The heavy atmosphere passed and the subsequent accusation meeting began.

The first person to go to power was Zamusu. The old fisherman told everyone about Jingqinbao with his own personal experience, talked about the fall of the five cities of Rafkai, and talked about the resistance of Guigudar City and the persistence of Humaur City. Then several Daur people went up to tell everyone how Rakshasa burned, killed and looted them all the way south, so that everyone present was full of righteous indignation.

As a representative of the Northern Navy, Ukampbe also came to the stage and talked about his life experience, how his wife and children died tragically, how his home was destroyed, and also talked about how he was able to avenge his revenge after following the Northern Navy. His story made many women in the audience cry.

Li Yansheng suddenly stood up from the crowd and walked to the front as everyone watched. Zhao Xin waved his hand to signal the soldiers not to stop him. The strong Qing army general knelt under the stage, bowed with red eyes and said, "Sir, the young man only wants to chop off the heads of a few Rakshasa with his own hands to avenge the brothers who died in battle."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! At this time, the little Wulong, who was holding a "roe deer head", also ran to the front stage and knelt down to Zhao Xin and begged: "I want to kill Rakshasa and avenge me Ama."

The child was sent back to the city by Zhao Xin on the day the Beihai Army entered the city. After several inquiries, he finally found his mother and seriously injured father in the Great Buddha Temple. Wu Long also knew that the Beihai Army was hostile to the court, but the little guy decided to abide by his oath and be a personal soldier for Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin dared not agree, and the child's parents were there. When Wu Xianning arrived at the Great Buddha Temple, the first person to perform surgery was Wu Long.

Speaking of which, Zhao Xin has been arraigning the Rakshasa prisoners these days, and his voice has hoarse from morning to night. What surprised him the most was that he met the Mafu Igor, who had been captured by him among the prisoners of the First Musket Regiment.

For Igor, he could not recognize anyone, but Zhao Xin's voice could not be forgotten even if he beat him to death. When he heard Zhao Xin's voice, he almost urinated his pants. Faced with this figure who was like a wizard in the legend of Cossack, Igor dared not be lucky at all. He said everything he saw and heard like a bamboo tube.

With Igor's assistance, Zhao Xin's subsequent interrogation became very smooth, so the prisoners of the First Battlefield Infantry Regiment of Outer Baikal became the most unlucky group today. From the colonel leader Bogaevsky to Captain Petrovic, the captain of the entire First Regiment was picked out 200 people, and then 150 people were picked out from the First and Second World War Infantry Regiments of Buryat.

When these people were escorted by the Beihai Army and walked past the audience one after another, some of the people in Heilongjiang City couldn't help but curse, while others picked up stones from the ground and smashed them over. Several of the Beihai soldiers who were escorting the captives were also smashed with black eyes.

On the bank of the Heilongjiang River, Li Yansheng, a leader of the Han flag assistant brought over by a North Navy soldier, took over the 84 revolver with a bullet. According to what the soldiers said, he pointed the muzzle at the back of the head of a Rakshasa officer.

"Hold the gun handle tightly, the gun has a lot of recoil."

Li Yansheng said in embarrassment: "This military master, we have never used a pistol. Why don't you bring me a big knife to ensure that your hand is lifted and the knife falls!"

The North Navy soldier who accompanied him rolled his eyes and said, "We don't have a big knife. If you can't do it, then go back."

"No, don't interfere!" Li Yansheng hurriedly defended himself, and then he said to the officer Rakshasa who was crying in front of him again: "Dog thief, it is your fate that you can die under my Li Guanglie today!" After that, he pulled the trigger fiercely.

In the old city of Aihui, when I heard the roar of "mutts" coming from time to time from the river bank, both officers and soldiers were trembling at this moment. Many people were crying, worried that they would not see the sun tomorrow.

According to Zhao Xin's plan, when Liu Sheng and the others arrived, all the remaining Tsarist Russian prisoners would be transported to Rulingji Island and dig gold to atone for their sins!

In the small courtyard where Wulong was hiding, Major General Alessandrov and several noble officers who were imprisoned here were all angry at the moment. Every gunshot outside would shock several officers to tremble all over.
