The fleet arrived at Qingdao Bay at about 6 a.m. the next day, and the Kunming and Sanya ships entered the harbor and anchored, while the Changbaishan ships only sent one battalion of soldiers ashore by two hovercraft, and then continued into Jiaozhou Bay to send the soldiers of the two battalions to their garrisons to take over the defense. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info Before the fleet set off, the Central Military Commission had already informed the Qingdao side that the first and fifth battalions stationed on the coast of Jiaozhou Bay were ready to change their defenses, and as soon as the troops replacing them arrived, they would immediately carry out the handover and change of defense, and then board the ship and return to Tianjin.

Wang Yunpeng, who arrived in Qingdao in advance, took Wang Sheng, ***, and Qin Zheng's daughter Zhou Weiying, who stayed in Qingdao, to welcome Qin Zheng and his party on the Qingdao Bay Wharf.

After going ashore, Qin Zheng had breakfast with Wang Yunpeng, Wang Sheng, ***, Zhou Weiying and others, and then immediately listened to everyone's work in Qingdao at this stage.

During this period of time, the main thing in Qingdao was to further consolidate the rule of the traverser in Qingdao, in fact, now the threat of being able to shake the traverser's control in Qingdao is not acceptable, the countries in Shanghai have basically given up the intention of armed confrontation with the traverser, and the governor of Shandong, Yuan Shikai, has also strictly ordered the local officials in Shandong to prohibit conflicts with the traverser, in fact, he has tacitly acquiesced in the traverser's control of the island.

However, the Wang brothers colluded with bandits to attempt to counterattack Wangjiazhai Village, which also made the traverser realize that the biggest threat force in Qingdao is the bandits, although the bandits can not shake the traverser's control in Qingdao, but they can create considerable trouble for the traverser, because the goal of the traverser is to completely control the grassroots in their own control area, and the bandits' activities are mainly at the grassroots level, so the traverser must eliminate the bandits in Qingdao and the coastal areas of Jiaozhou Bay, in order to ensure the traverser's control over the grassroots.

So after smashing the counteroffensive of the Wang brothers in collusion with bandits on Wangjiazhai Village, Qingdao immediately launched a special operation to eliminate the surrounding bandits.

In Qingdao and the coastal areas of Jiaozhou Bay, there are more than 30 bandits of all sizes, with 3 or 50 people in small units and 2 or 300 people in large groups. The targets are basically ordinary peasants and villages, after all, the strength of these bandits is not strong, and they can't provoke the wealthy, so they can only oppress ordinary people.

However, after the special operation was launched, the People's Army was also divided into companies and platoons to clean up bandits in the coastal areas of Qingdao and Jiaozhou Bay. The combat effectiveness and equipment of the bandits are naturally far from being comparable with those of the People's Army, and the only advantage is that they are familiar with geography, and they can fight if they can fight, and if they can't fight, they can leave, anyway, they can hide in the mountains, and they go into battle lightly, go over mountains and mountains, and go there to grab them, and they don't need to bring food, so they move quickly. In the past, the bandits relied on these advantages to deal with the Qing army and even the German army.

But in the face of the KPA, these advantages no longer exist, although the KPA is indeed unfamiliar with the terrain, but there are drones in the sky, crossing soldiers and infrared detection equipment, so as long as the KPA is targeted by the bandits, it is almost impossible to escape. Moreover, the soldiers of the People's Army have also undergone special marching training, although they cannot be compared with the crossing soldiers, but with the help of drones and infrared detection equipment, they can completely deal with bandits in the deep mountains and old forests. As a result, the bandits were either chased and exterminated by the People's Army, or they were cornered in the deep mountains and old forests, and they took the initiative to surrender to the People's Army, and there were not a few who died of starvation or exhaustion.

Bandits who were captured by the People's Army or surrendered were taken to the villages where they had been harmed for public trial, where the most heinous bandits were executed on the spot, and their bodies were hung at the entrance of the village for display as a police force. For those villages where there is no distinction between bandits, bandits, and people, they are first investigated, and the leading bandits and main forces are found and executed, while the other villagers are forcibly taken away, regrouped with other villages, and cultivated under the supervision of the traversers.

Moreover, the clearance behavior of the traverser is not limited to the scope of its own control, because the activities of bandits are not limited by the region, so as long as the bandits pose a threat to the traverser, even if they run out of the traverser's control, or the bandits are outside the traverser's control, the KPA will not hesitate to cross the border to strike.

First, Yuan Shikai, the governor of Shandong, had a strict order prohibiting local officials in Shandong from clashing with the traversers; second, some bandits did indeed pose a major danger to the localities, and now some people are helping to clear up the situation and are happy to push the boats along the river, so when the People's Army crosses the border to strike, the local officials in Shandong either pretend not to know or secretly provide some help to the traversers.

As a result, after more than a month of special purges, the People's Army cleared a total of 26 bandits, several of whom were quite famous in Shandong, and were wanted by the Qing government for several years, killed and executed 1,187 bandits, captured 941 people, dispersed and combined 16 villages, and actually controlled 107 villages and 12 towns. However, some bandits in Qingdao and the coastal areas of Jiaozhou Bay, which had not yet been attacked, saw that the situation was not good, and they abandoned their cottages and garrisons one after another, and moved to the interior of Shandong. Therefore, in the area controlled by the traverser and the surrounding areas, the problem of bandits has been greatly reduced, and the law and order have also improved significantly.

And the traverser also took the opportunity of suppressing bandits, not only allowing the army to get a certain tempering, but also further expanding their sphere of influence, entering Jimo, Gaomi, Zhucheng, On the one hand, it also expanded the influence and deterrence of the traversers, for the ordinary people, they may not know the power of the foreigners, but they know the terrible bandits, and these bandits who could not be eliminated by the Qing army in the past have been awarded heads under the guns of the people's army, coupled with the strict military discipline of the people's army, they have not committed any crimes against the people, and also provide some help, which naturally makes these ordinary people have awe of the people's army, and enhance the prestige of the crosser and the people's army。

Qin Zheng is also very satisfied with the result of the bandits, and this is a good excuse for the traverser, of course the traverser will not be satisfied with only Qingdao and Jiaozhou Bay, but to control the entire Shandong region, but now it is not possible to tear the face with the Qing court on the surface, so take the opportunity to suppress the bandits and expand the traverser's sphere of influence, to a feasible plan, anyway, the traverser only needs to occupy the countryside.

On the other hand, the factories established by Germany in Shandong have basically been completed, or the parts that can be completed have been completed, the Qingdao Arsenal has begun to put into production, and the Qingdao Shipyard can basically start repairing ships. Another key project is the salt production industry in Yindao, and now the traverser has invested in the construction of 100 buckets in Yindao, which can produce about 1,000 tons of salt per month, and the traverser also plans to invest in the construction of 1,000 buckets in Yindao this year, with an annual output of 20,000 tons of salt, so that the salt industry has become a pillar industry of the traverser.

Another point is the education situation in Qingdao, in fact, after De Guoqiang rented Qingdao, in addition to the infrastructure construction of Qingdao, but also actively established schools in Qingdao, on the one hand, it is to cultivate available talents for itself, after all, if you want to govern Qingdao well, you also need locals; on the other hand, it is also to cultivate pro-German personnel in Qingdao to assist the German rule in Qingdao, in the old time and space, most of these schools have been retained, but the name has been changed.

In this era, it is not surprising that the church has always been responsible for part of the function of education and hospital in the history of Europe, of course, mainly to impart theological and medical knowledge, and after the European Reformation, the church's education also began to develop to secularization, teaching natural and scientific knowledge, and medical knowledge is also biased towards modern medicine, and many universities in Europe were formerly church colleges.

Of course, the German rule in Qingdao was not long, so there were not many church colleges established at this time, and there were mainly two. One was in 1898, when Adolf Kunze, a missionary of the Berlin Evangelical Missionary Society, founded the first religious school in Qingdao, Aidaoyuan, which was divided into two sections, male and female, mainly for children from poor families, with a total of more than 100 students. The other was in March 1900, Richard Wilhelm, a missionary of the German Philanthropy Church, founded Lixian College in his apartment on Jiaozhou Street (now Jiaozhou Road), with an enrollment of 20 students, which was the predecessor of Qingdao No. 9 Middle School in the old time and space. Originally, Wei Lixian planned to build a new school building next to his apartment in 1901, but unfortunately Qingdao was occupied by the traversers, so the construction of Laixian College was stopped.

There is also a non-church school in 1898, in order to solve the problem of German children studying in Qingdao, Germany opened a German children's school in Qingdao, which is a German primary school. The school was located in the original Dabaodao Village, rented a few Chinese houses to start classes, in the old time and space, later the Jiaoao School Committee of the German State officially took over the school, renamed the Jiaoao Governor's Mansion School, and built a new school building on Bismarck Street (now Jiangsu Road), which was later Qingdao Experimental Primary School.

In addition, Germany has also opened some Mongolian education schools for Chinese in Qingdao, all of which are improved on the basis of private schools, plus new courses such as arithmetic, history, geography, and German.

However, after the occupation of Qingdao, these schools were not suspended, the students and teaching staff were all retained, and the teaching work continued, and even the German teaching was not canceled, but some adjustments were made to the teaching materials and curriculum arrangements, political classes were added, and the teaching work of these schools was supervised.

The site of the Hope School founded by the traveler has also been selected, the school is located in the north of Qingdao, in the area near Qingdao Dagang in the old time and space, and the preliminary design and geological exploration work have been drawn, as long as the preliminary design is approved, the construction can begin.
