In Wuhan in June, the hot trance is flowing in the fire. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe whole city is like a burnt brick kiln, which makes people breathless. The old yellow dog of the Qiu family lay on the ground and spit out a bright red tongue, and in the stable, Qiu Jiashan's mount's nostrils exhaled and inhaled, and every breath was particularly wide. In the stone horse trough, there is only a shallow layer of water poured in the morning, and it is still as hot as boiling water.

Qiu Jiashan was expelled from the Qiu family, but he has now also become the police chief of the Wuchang Mansion of the Fu Han Army. This is a position equivalent to that of the past general judgment, and of course, it is far less powerful than the general judgment.

In the newly baked Han official system of the Han Army, the bureau-level cadres at the prefect level are the sixth grade, the prefect is the fourth grade, and the status of the county has improved a lot, which belongs to the fifth grade. As for whether it is from, it depends on the qualifications and position. An important unit like the police station is, of course, the sixth product.

Wuchang is a special case, and all official positions should be promoted to one level, and Qiu Jiashan, the police station, is from the fifth grade.

Under the rule of the Han Dynasty, there was no provincial-level system, and according to the official regulations promulgated under the promulgation, the provincial level was only the third grade, and the Daotai level was removed, and the Han family only had the three-level system of county government and province, and the state was also removed. In the central ministries and commissions above, the head and brain are only the third grade, only those who enter the cabinet are the second grade, and the first rank can only be enjoyed by the first and second assistants when they get honors.

Qiu Jiashan was not sad that he was expelled from the house, because he knew that this was the Qiu family's way of self-preservation, and even did so with his consent in advance. Three months ago, the desperate Qiu Jiashan sold the Zhonghe Gate of Wuchang for the sake of his clan blood relatives, and became a great hero of the Fu Han Army's easy capture of Wuchang City. He and Zheng Jingchun of the Zheng family, one is now the police chief of Wuchang Mansion, and the other is the magistrate of Wuchang County. But when they received the appointment, neither of them could show a comfortable smile, and the embarrassed and stiff smile seemed as if they had received not an official hat, but a deadly poisonous wine.

The Manchu Sticky Pole Department assassinated Qiu Jiashan several times in the days that followed, as did Zheng Jingchun, and it was not until their two dens in Wuchang City were destroyed that Qiu Jiashan's life was settled.

There is no need to say much about the thrill in the middle, the Qing court's several assassination attempts really made Qiu Jiashan feel a little more heartfelt thanks to the newly baked Han Wang and Lu Gong's two royal highnesses. Especially in the past two March, the development of the Han Army has made Qiu Jiashan unexpectedly smooth. To the south, the Fu Han army captured Yueyang, when Wuchang had just finished the battle, the Fu Han army seized the opportunity to defeat the more than 10,000 Hunan green battalions that arrived at Yanzhou Bay, and the Hunan governor Fang Shijun pretended to be a civilian man to escape with his life. Then the Fu Han army took two or three thousand Lu Yong, plus a naval battalion and a logistics naval army, and took all the counties of Wuchang Prefecture. There is also the battle of Yanzhou Bay, the naval division battalion of the Fu Han Army easily annihilated the Hunan naval division, captured more than 30 warships, and then easily captured Yueyang down the river. The smooth march made Qiu Jiashan, who was panicked at the time, stunned, and naturally settled down in his heart.

At the same time, the Sichuan soldiers of Hanchuan were also defeated by the Fu Han army. It's just that Ma Mingxun is a battle-hardened veteran, more experienced than Fang Shijun, and he took three or five thousand people with him in the defeated army, and then rectified it in Jingshan a little, collected two or three thousand defeated soldiers, and threw himself all the way to Xiangyang.

Twenty or thirty thousand prisoners were sent outside Wuchang City, and the panic and anxiety atmosphere in Wuchang immediately eased. At that time, Qiu Jiashan was still at home, and after hearing the news, he ran out of the city like a rabbit to take a look. The gray-faced Qing prisoners of war and the captured flags were like a spring of ice pouring his angry heart to settle down all of a sudden. He was then appointed chief of the Wuchang police by the firing line, and his first task was to prepare for the organization of the police to maintain order among the people outside the prisoner of war camp.

For most of the month, before the prisoner camp was taken north, it was the key custody location of the police station and the Wuchang garrison. Hundreds of people come to watch it every day, and many of them come from the countryside. Outside the prisoner of war camp, there were many stalls selling tea and melon seeds.

The complete defeat of the Qing soldiers in the north and south is said to have made Ah Gui on the front line of Xiaogan spit out a mouthful of old blood. In April, the Fu Han army marched north, departing a part of its forces to attack Jingzhou and Yichang to the west, but the main force still went north, driving Agui's troops out of Hubei and capturing Xinyang Prefecture in Henan strongly. And all this is done by artillery.

Zhu Jue of Jingzhou fled in despair, and fled to Yichang Mansion with Fan Shishou, the governor of Hubei who fled there without knowing it. The front of the Fu Han army stopped at Zhijiang. Because the main force of the army has already moved north, it has reached the limit of relying on the westward forces alone to reach Zhijiang.

On April 14, the Fu Han army besieged the city of Xiangyang, and then opened up the land communication with southwestern Henan. The ships that had been stranded on the Wuhan River before that time sailed down the Han River to Xiangyang.

So far, Qiu Jiashan doesn't know what the one or two thousand ships are loaded in, but he has only seen a lot of salt ships and cloth ships, but the number only accounts for a part of the total. Later, those 'old men' in southwest Henan were overjoyed when they saw the white salt, and they directly grabbed it and stuffed it into their mouths; There are folk legends that the shipload is all gold and silver, and the salt cloth and the like are all gold and silver, and Qiu Jiashan resolutely does not believe it. Because he thought that he already knew why Lu Gong was obsessed with the old base, he thought that many people had already realized this reason.

When the momentum of Henan Laochao was not good, it was not for Laochao to move to Jiangnan, but to return to the division by himself.

That's because of the ironclad cannon - because the old nest of the Fu Han army has an extremely strong production capacity of weapons and ironware.

After Chen Ming's army opened up the connection with the old base area, while a shipload of materials flowed into the old base area, a shipload of iron, ironclad and iron cannons were also continuously transported out of southwest Henan. Just like the previous boatload of salt boats, the iron armor of that boatload and the thigh-thick cannon barrels of middle-aged people are dizzying to look at.

Almost on the day the fleet arrived in Wuchang, Qiu Jiashan returned home from the yamen of the police station in the afternoon, and saw that the patrol troops of the Fu Han Army in the streets and alleys were no longer wearing thin uniforms, but majestic iron armor. On a hot day, those patrol soldiers were sweating hot, but their faces were filled with endless pride and confidence.

That day, Qiu Jiashan returned home sweating, and the excitement and shock in his heart were like an erupting volcano, hot and hot, out of control. That night, he reinvigorated his old wife fiercely.

That afternoon, just after [three o'clock in the afternoon], the entire Wuchang City, the patrol soldiers in the city, the garrison soldiers of the city wall, or the barracks of the parade ground, all the soldiers changed their battle armor in unison, and thousands of iron armor really looked at the entire Wuchang City by tens of thousands of people. The 40,000 prisoners of war outside Wuchang City are still like yesterday, and it has only been a few days since the army went north? So much armor has been brought back. In fact, the 200 armed policemen in the police station also changed their iron armor at that time.

Two hundred pairs of iron armor, they were still carrying tung oil when they were taken out, Qiu Jiashan was stupid at that time. After returning to his senses, he firmly believed in his heart that the Fu Han Army was by no means a grasshopper after the autumn, and the prospects of the Fu Han Army were still great. Although it may not be possible to truly overthrow the Dragon Court in Beijing, how easy is it for the Manchu court to destroy these armored Han army?

Yes, the old nest of the Fu Han army is very short of salt, and even now the Fu Han army in Hubei is still very short of salt, and there is no salt production area in this place. Although this 'lack of salt' is also compared under relative conditions, southwest Henan and Hubei are not without saline-alkali land, and the salt in the saline-alkali land can also be eaten, as long as it is processed several times, plus eating too much is not good for the body. Qiu Jiashan also heard that the reason why Lu Gong abandoned Jiangnan and returned to Huguang was because the lack of salt in the General's Mansion was getting heavier and heavier, because there was not much saline-alkali land in Nanyang, at least not enough for millions of people in the entire base area to eat, and the matter had reached the point where it had to be solved. He didn't know if it was true or not, but no matter what, Qiu Jiashan was no longer the Qiu Jiashan who was hesitant three months ago. The Fu Han army is obviously still strong, and it has been a few months since the army of Lu Gong returned to Hubei, and the official army in Jiangnan has not taken Nanjing so far, and some rumors have been self-defeating. At present, he did not believe that the Han army could overthrow the Manchu Qing and restore the Han dynasty; But he also didn't believe that the Han army was in danger like a candle in the wind, and it would be blown out by the officials and soldiers the next moment.

That is, from that day on, the splashes in Wuchang City began to frequently cut other people's braids, and one braid could be exchanged for two catties of rice in the hands of the government, or a bowl of miscellaneous soup and two large steamed buns, and a day's food could be solved. Where is the braid, that's food, that's not hungry.

As for the people who were forcibly cut off their braids to cry to the government, hehe, the government of the Fu Han Army is much lower than the government of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but they just ignore this kind of thing. This is not just a phenomenon in Wuchang, but the whole of Hubei. Therefore, many people who would rather pay more braids tax than cut their braids before cut them off themselves.

If you cut it yourself, you can keep it at home, otherwise it will be in the hands of the government, and it will be one word - burn.

Many people are crying like their dead mothers and sons. During those days, Qiu Jiashan could also frequently see peaches with swollen eyes, and people who couldn't give up.

Besides, in mid-May, a few days before the Han king became king, the iron-clad city of Xiangyang could not really resist the cannonball beating of the Han army. The defenders in the city collapsed very suddenly, first the Xiangyang city defenders and the Sichuan soldiers had chaos, then the chaos quickly spread to the Xiangyang militia, and finally the Hubei Green Battalion, and then the Fu Han army took Xiangyang without blood. Huguang Governor Detai and Sichuan Governor Ma Mingxun were not in the chaos, Zhao Yongji and other generals died or surrendered, and more than 20,000 troops in Xiangyang were annihilated.

Folk legend has it that the Chen family has dragon energy, and the defenders of Xiangyang have survived for a month, but they collapsed on the eve of Chen Hui's claim to be king, and the Fu Han army has not sent a large army to attack the city in this month. This is not God protecting the true dragon and the son of heaven, what is this?

Qiu Jiashan dared to swear by his own life, this rumor was definitely released by the secret camp, and the local government was adding fuel to the fire and fooling the ignorant people. Yes, it's not God protecting the true dragon Son of Heaven, it's God fooling the mud legs.

Qiu Jiashan knows what it is like to be bombarded, Xiangyang City has been shelled for a month, there are no reinforcements outside, there is no hope, the soldiers inside have a camp roar, self-collapse, Qiu Jiashan is not strange at all. The torment of being bombarded by artillery is the only one who has experienced it firsthand.

As soon as the king of Han ascended the throne, he issued a decree to hold a ceremony to discuss talents, as long as he is conceited and capable, he can go to sign up, and he will also hold a scientific examination, regardless of his background, he only needs to read and break words, and those who are willing to try it can also sign up. From the local governments, now it is no longer called the government to call the government, to show ID cards and road guides, and you can go to Lushan with these two things.

ID card is another new policy of the Han Army, in fact, it is the ivory card, the former Ming Dynasty began to use ivory, animal bones, wood, metal, etc. to make plates, engraved with the licensee's name, position, resume and the yamen, depending on the identity and status, the function of the different. When entering identity information, sometimes there is a "place of origin" or a warning such as the crime of fraudulent use of a dental tag or the sin of not using a dental tag. In the Qing Dynasty, this thing has begun to turn to the middle and lower classes, and the Han Army is in place in one step, and the whole people must do it.

The Household Registration Division of the police station has been busy for months. Qiu Jiashan even felt that this was a census of Ding Zhuang.

And the road guide, the name is the road guide, is actually a book of folds, with a 'pass' printed on it. It contains detailed records of physiognomy and origin, home address, and relatives, as well as the former Ming painting of the person who is jointly guaranteed.

Today, Qiu Jiashan went home from work early, and returned home safely from the yamen under the protection of two armed policemen wearing armor, who were his bodyguards, not only him, but also Zheng Jingchun and others. In addition, inside and outside the courtyard of Qiu Mansion, day and night, there is always a group of armed police with loaded guns doing security work. The latter is different from the ordinary police in the police station, in Qiu Jiashan's view, these armed police are fully equipped garrisons, and the county-level police station does not have them. There are only 200 people in the entire Wuchang Police Department, and I heard that they are two combat teams directly transferred from the army.
