729 Wei Hong's complaint
Of course, this is just a report from the official government, and the Zhong family has obtained the actual situation through the network news of the spice shop on the 13th Street of Xin'an County and sent people to the site for on-the-spot inspection, which is another version:
At the beginning, the Green Battalion was defeated on Dayuan Island, and the stragglers fled back to the military camp in Xin'an County one after another.
The garrison who learned of the defeat of the Xiangjiang army was very uneasy, because at this time it was the period when the military department was evaluating the merits of the officials, and the soldiers were definitely going to be defeated at this time.
So he found his relatives ---- the Xin'an County Commander to find a way to remedy it, this Xin'an County Commander was really a ruthless character, and soon he came up with a poisonous plan.
First of all, he concealed the report, he asked the garrison to transfer those defeated soldiers to remote places, and then detained the family members of Liu Lianqiang, the chief of the green battalion, for the crime of defeat, thus temporarily suppressing the spread of news.
Five days later, when the limelight gradually passed, he and the garrison with their cronies and horses, came to the Shishan Village to deceive the opening of the village gate, in the name of praise and pacification, gathered the men who participated in the war at the beginning, and then shouted a large-scale slaughter, and took the opportunity to arrest the women and children in the village, and escorted back to Xin'an County to tour the streets for the "bandits".
Then, the garrison and the county order each flew to the officials, according to the confession of the defeated soldiers, suing the green battalion to the general Liu Lianqiang for his stupid and incompetent use of troops, resulting in defeat, resulting in the great situation of the water thieves, the whole territory of Xin'an County bandits, and the people were panicked......
Now there is such a "capable official" who "does not mess up in danger and acts decisively", and the officials naturally want to praise and disparage, as for the garrison, although the subordinates are defeated and have the crime of ineffective responsibility, but they can decisively send troops and suppress the bandits, which is also more merit than fault.
As for the Xin'an County Order, the public opinion of the Examination Division, the merit is significant, the Provincial Government has reported to the Ministry of Officials, this year's performance appraisal is "excellent", and it is expected that he will be transferred to Jiangnan Chongwang County to do the county order after the year.
So this defeat was finally made into a happy event, and the court's commendation was coming soon, and those who should be rewarded were awarded, and those who should be promoted were promoted, so the officialdom was happy.
It's just that the people of the Qing Dynasty who suffered from the villages of Shishan and Datang originally wanted to use the power of the government to expand their own power, but they didn't expect to turn themselves into "bandits", and finally ended up with a broken family and a broken wife.
Just a few days after the defeat of Dayuanwan, it was the first seven days of Song Wanqiang, the son of the owner of the old village of Song Shanzhai, who had not yet been buried, and the officers and soldiers suddenly arrived, and they killed wantonly without saying a word, and the owner of the old village of Song was also in great pain, and he did not come up in one breath, and vomited blood and died on the spot.
So the heads of the old village owner and Song Jinqiang were also cut off on the spot, and they were tied to the bamboo pole as bandit heads and brought back to Xin'an County to show the public, and the corpses were thrown directly into the mountain stream and became the food of wild dogs.
As for the remaining men, women and children in Shishan Datang, they were all disposed of as "bandits" and sold as official slaves or tenant slaves, and those who were stronger were also sent to Heilongjiang to be enslaved by the armored people.
As for Liu Lianqiang, because he has been dead for a long time, his bones have long been gone.
That's because when the people of Dayuanwan Village moved, his corpse was thrown into the sea and into the belly of the fish and turtle along with the more than 30 personal soldiers.
As far as officialdom is concerned, this dead man can't speak anyway, and his cronies are also dead, so all the blame for this defeat is on his back, so his family has also become a "criminal official's family", and a wife, a concubine and a pair of children are all guilty.
So Liu Lianqiang's wife and concubine were sent to the brothel to be transferred to the brothel as official prostitutes according to the law, but his wife was humiliated and hanged herself, and only one concubine and one daughter were sent to the brothel to be official prostitutes.
One of his sons, according to the law, should be assigned to Ningguta as a slave of the armored people, but Shangguan was only seven years old and young, so he was extraordinarily gracious, and only sent to Rehe, outside the Guan, and handed over to the Mongolian Han Department as a herdsman.
At this point, the dust has finally settled on the incident of suppressing bandits that occurred on the outer islands of Xiangjiang.
When this laughable piece of information was sent by telegram on behalf of Xiaoshan, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Of course, there are also disappointments, such as some members of the Firepit Club, who have a sense of loss that has been vigorously hollowed out by this ending.
Of course, there are also strong complaints, such as Wei Hong, he sent a telegram to the Red Mansion as soon as he received this telegram and complained, in order to strengthen the armament of Wanshan Island, a while ago, chickens and dogs jumped on the ground and made a commotion, and the result was that Ren Ke Xiaoai and they checked it in vain, and now they are strong and strong, they want money and money, and they want people to get the moon first near the water, I heard that the two ships have also placed orders, and now Wanshan Island is safe, but this is suffering our Xin'an City side!
Originally, they were going to give me 300 Type 57 rifles in the near future! As a result, I didn't get the hair here! Moreover, the military budget that should be increased is not in place, which makes us stretched thin here!
Also, that light mortar cannon, which originally had my share, is now given to Wanshan Island, obviously I can't expect his brothers to return these weapons to me, now I will ask, when will the family give us these weapons to make up for Xin'ancheng?
The Red Mansion is also very speechless about this, you Wei Hong said that we are operating Sao, who would have thought that the operation of the Qing Dynasty officialdom would be more sassy, and it will not work if you are not convinced, there is no way, we are still too tender, we listen to the wind is rain, and the result was flashed by others......
Wei Hong also emphasized in the telegram that the current area around Xin'an City is still very unpeaceful, no, is it not just the area around Xin'an City? In fact, the whole island of Timor is now in a state of turmoil.
Now the Portuguese are expanding their territory into the jungle in order to expand their business with us.
In the past, the Portuguese were not dismissive of the slightly remote parts of the island, but since Sister Cao gave Pimont a map showing the various minerals on the island, Pimont sent various expeditions over, and then made all kinds of visible and unseen transactions with the local natives, the purpose of course was to control the land and let the natives obediently mine the stones for the Portuguese.
Wei Hong also said that after the defense of Sin'an in the first half of the year, the jungle was still very uneven, and according to credible information, the tribes in the east and south of Timor had recently held a larger alliance meeting at the urging of some tribal leaders and priests, thus forming a tribal alliance against the Portuguese.
This alliance and the pro-Portuguese tribal alliance in the jungle confrontation, the conflict between the two sides is more intense than at the beginning of the year, I heard, the Dutch seem to have also intervened in it---- it is no wonder, the Netherlands and Portugal have been fighting for the island of Timor for fifty years, and now there is no sign of stopping, Sun Lao has some ideas about this, saying that he wants to mediate and strive to sign a cooperation agreement, but so far there is no word, so I am under a lot of pressure here.
The key is that recently, Pimont once again asked Xin'an City to send troops to help, but although the number of Xin'an garrison has been more than 1,000 people, but the weapons are insufficient, the weapons that originally supported me were given to Wanshan Island, and although the city is safe on this side of Xin'an City, it is the jungle twenty miles out of the city, and it is the world of the indigenous tribes---- summary: Anyway, before the armament is strengthened, I will definitely not dare to send troops into the jungle!
In a word, the pressure on our side is not small, and we need support from home!
In the face of Wei Hong's complaints, except for Xia Xiaoou, who cut the military budget of Wanshan Island in time and then transferred it to Wei Hong's side, it seems that he will not be able to bring any substantial help to Xin'an City for a while.
Because the Red Mansion is also very busy now, the most important task at present is the assembly of the Pride-class sister ships on Wang Gong's side.
A while ago, Boss Luo invested considerable production capacity in order to cooperate with the construction of Wang Gong's slipway, because Wang Gong has announced that in June and July this year, at the latest in early August, our first Pride class sister ship will be launched! Inspiring, right? Therefore, in addition to Boss Luo's "three generations of machine tool replication" work, Shuguang Machinery Factory is going all out to help the slipway manufacture special tooling, it is already March, and the assembly work on the slipway has reached the sprint stage, so all other work---- including supporting the production of overseas territories, must make way for it, obviously, in the recent period, Wei Hong's side can only wait......
