In the change of the dynasty, proud people abound, and there are also many disappointed people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoJust like the seemingly calm river, there is always a turbulent dark tide surging under the surface of the river.

There is no doubt that Ding Xin's son Ding Xuan is a frustrated person, as a catcher in the capital Shuntianfu, he has participated in many round-up operations against the dark camp, although he has not been stained with the blood of the Han army, but he can't stay in Beijing anymore.

When the Manchu Qing Dynasty engaged in 'forced relocation', the Ding family realized it early and escaped the catastrophe. But in the face of the 'liquidation' of the Fu Han Army, Ding Xuan was no longer able to escape. Because his son Ding Xin was one of the members of the Beijing Station of the Fuhan Army's secret camp.

Ding Xuan was assigned and sent to Taiwan. Ding Xin, who could have stayed in Beijing to take up his post, has now become the security captain of a newly established 'Budai Salt Factory' in Taiwan's Zhuluo County.

Twenty-four-year-old Ding Xin was not dissatisfied with this appointment, at least not in terms of rank. He is a very optimistic person, even in the face of the bumpy future, he will move forward bravely. My father's sins have been completely cleared, and my current arrival in Taiwan does not mean that I will be in Taiwan for the rest of my life.

Besides, the salt farm, the security captain of the salt farm, is there anyone who can sit on it casually? This must be someone you can trust.

If there is no Ding Xuan, the father of the pit son, Ding Xin, as a member of the backbone of the Beijing station, would not be able to stay in the Beijing Police Station as a sub-chief, but Ding Xin was unwilling to let his father and mother move to Taiwan alone, and took the initiative to apply for transfer to Taiwan. Ding Xuan originally had two years of labor reform in the salt factory, so he naturally didn't have it. After arriving in Taiwan, Ding Xuan had nothing else to do in the coming year, except that he could not leave Zhuluo County and report to the security forces every ten days.

As a filial son, Ding Xin thinks it is very worthwhile.

Less than a month after his twenty-fourth birthday, Ding Xin embarked on a journey to Taiwan with his parents, wife and children. Because the itinerary was not tense, the family did not go to Tianjin to take a sea boat, but took the canal all the way south in Tongzhou.

When I arrived in Yangzhou, I saw the city of Nanjing, and arrived in Shanghai by boat, and then the family took a sea boat to Dagou Port in Taiwan.

Ding Xuan is an eye-opener, the recovery of Shandong and northern Jiangsu, the prosperity of Yangzhou and Zhenjiang, and the unique appearance of Nanjing and Shanghai have made this turtle who has never been out of Beijing and Tianjin in his life really gain insight. The awe of Chen Han in his heart has unconsciously increased a lot, including Ding Xin himself, and he is also full of incredible thoughts about the current Nanjing and Shanghai.

From Beijing to Nanjing, it's like living in two different worlds.

The former is an ancient world, walking, sitting in a sedan chair, riding a horse, the road surface is dirty and messy, even if Beijing is the imperial capital, except for a few avenues [outer city], other trails and alleys are also very tasteful. Open defecation, sewage and garbage everywhere, this belongs to the same world as Paris and London at this time, but the Ding family has never seen Paris and London. They have lived in the city of Beijing since they were children, and they have long been accustomed to it.

But what about Nanjing? There are public transport carriages, railroad carriages, private carriages, animal cranes, from the port to the city, the main streets are all cement pavement, clean and tidy, planted with green trees and flowers on both sides, and pavilions and benches for oblique angles at a distance. At that time, the red sleeves that would appear from time to time, staring at everyone with their eyes shining, they represented the strong ruling power of the Chen and Han courts, there were garbage cans one after another on the side of the road, and there were big signs that were erected high and said, "Strict open defecation", "Preservation of hygiene, civilization and cleanliness", and public toilets where people came and went, these were really two completely different worlds. Compare Beijing to a super country.

But the more he saw Chen Han's 'extraordinary', the more panicked Ding Xuan's heart became.

Beijing is much worse than Nanjing, but no matter how bad it is, it is better than the remote wilderness of Taiwan?

Ding Xuan knows that the place of household registration on his son's ID card has been changed from Beijing to Zhuluo!

The people at the foot of the imperial city already have a sense of arrogance, but in the blink of an eye, his son's hometown changed from the imperial city to the countryside, and Zhuluo County is a countryside in Ding Xuan's eyes, and the whole Taiwan is also a big village compared to Beijing.

Ding's mother knew that Ding Xuan was also very uncomfortable, but she didn't say a word of relief. The parents' love for their children is selfless and great, and she would rather her old couple come to Taiwan to suffer than affect her son's future. I don't know how many tears I wiped along the way. From a Beijing police sub-chief to a security captain of the island salt factory in the blink of an eye, such a blow is undoubtedly heavy for a Ding mother.

"Mother, don't cry anymore. We juniors can still watch your second elder come to Taiwan alone to suffer. Seeing this, Ding Xin's wife comforted her skillfully and softly. Of course, in her eyes, Ding Xin has been reduced from the sub-chief of Beijing to the security captain of the bullshit Budai Salt Factory, which is definitely a match!

The rickety carriage was crowded into four adults and children, it was small and crowded, except for a small box, and some other clothes and daily necessities were placed on the back carriage. Ding Xin rented two carriages in Dagou Harbor.

Ding Xuan always closed his eyes as if he was pretending to be dead. But the gray beard, the haggard countenance, and a kind of old age that could not be concealed testified to the pain in his heart.

There are so many headhunters in Shuntian Mansion, why don't you know how to hide? Ding Xuan had never been stained with the blood of the Fu Han Army on his hands, and his charges were accumulated by the 'attendance' again and again. When he thought about it, his heart hurt like a heart.

"Daddy, it's almost time for the salt farm. You have to cheer up! "Since you are here, you have to integrate well, if Ding Xuan talks about Beijing every day, what will the people in the salt field think of Ding Xin? He's not the number one in the salt works!

"Dad knows, I know......" How could Ding Xuan, who had been in the public door for half his life, not know, and sighed as he spoke. I really ruined my son.

Taiwan's Budai Salt Farm, Hainan's Yingge Salt Farm, and Changlu Salt Farm, these are the three major salt farms in China in later generations. During this period, the Budai Salt Farm had just been opened, and the Yingge Salt Farm was completely unknown. But Chen Ming knows where the Yingge Salt Farm is, built between the sea and seamounts, the continuous mountains of Jianfeng Ridge block the typhoon clouds and rain from the north, so that the scorching sun here is in the sky all year round, and there is sufficient light and heat for salt production. The high salinity of the sea water is unique.

A salt field is a silver sea, with the Northern Expedition of the Fu Han Army, all kinds of prisoners and distribution families, some of which were sent to Taiwan and Hainan. In the current era, the salt factory is an absolutely labor-intensive industry, and Ding Xuan and Ding Xin may not know that in the Budai salt factory, the two of them may still be able to meet past acquaintances.

At the same time, the four sons of the Ulanchabu League, who opened the way for Zhang Jia III to go south, also arrived in Nanjing under the escort of his own 100-man guard and a whole battalion of the Fuhan army.

Of course, Hara Zhu did not take the sea route, nor could he take the land route, he took the water route, the same as the itinerary of the Ding family father and son, from Zhangjiakou to Beijing, then to Tongzhou, and then to Yangzhou by boat along the canal, and then to Nanjing.

Although the Ulanqab League is one of the six leagues of Inner Mongolia, and the four sons of Halazhu's Wang Qi are the leading big brother in the Ulanqab League, he has never been so deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains. In the past, the Manchu and Mongolian alliances were either the Manchu emperors who went to Rehe to patrol the grasslands, or the Mongols who went to Beijing. At least Hara Zhu has never seen the Chinese style further south of Beijing and Tianjin.

Chen Ming asked him to take the waterway, not only because the waterway was fast and convenient, but also because the area on the left and right sides of the canal is the essence of what is now China. With the capture of Beijing, a large number of people have returned to their homes, and most of the fields on both sides of the canal have been cleared. And even if maritime transport is opened, the importance of inland waterway transport cannot be completely replaced without the emergence of the revolutionary means of transportation of railways and trains.

The economy on both sides of the canal, which had been shrinking day by day, has recovered, and the recovery momentum is very fast. It may be difficult to achieve the pivotal position of China's economy in the past, but it is better to look at it than to let the Mongols wander around on horseback. The cities on both sides of the canal and the large population showed the Mongols the strength of the Central Plains.

The market in Linqing is much more lively than last year, and Jining, which is in ruins, is also being rapidly rebuilt. After contributing most of their own money and food, the Kong family, the Meng family, etc., who were quietly deprived of real power, were looking to Jining and reaching out. Past experience has taught them that if they want to continue to protect their family's existence, they should not set their sights on the land. Land is only the foundation, and business and financial management are more effective means to maintain the family! And the well-known Jiaozhou Bay and Yantai, these two cities that are about to open their ports, there is no one in Confucius, Meng, Zengyan, and the four who are not blushing, but the wisdom of survival tells them that it is better not to think about it as soon as possible.

The current Jiaozhou and Yantai are the territories of the new dynasty and upstarts in Shandong, and their own identity is not embarrassing or embarrassing, and there is no room for meddle at all. At least when the former has not eaten and drunk enough, there is no interference.

Shen Shiying didn't know how Linqing was compared to Zhangjiakou, but Linqing was definitely not as prosperous as Beijing.

Harazhu's expression in Shandong was only curious excitement, but not shock, until the fleet arrived at Qingjiangpu.

Qingjiangpu, which was recovering after the war, radiated with vigorous vitality, and boatloads of grain, cloth and Jiangnan products went north from here and west from here. It was transported north into Shandong and west along the Yellow River to the heart of China.

Although the population of more than 500,000 people has not yet recovered to its peak, "the boats and cars are gathered, the crown is noisy, the two rivers are rampant, and the rows are endless for dozens of miles", but do not underestimate the eyes of the merchants of this era.

Investing in advance is a skill that a businessman of any era will light up.

Huai'an is obviously a promising place, and how many businessmen will wait for someone to make the plate bigger and cooked, and then mix it in themselves?

And in Yangzhou, this is another style that is completely different from Beijing, which has opened the eyes of Harazhu. After the fleet moved from Yangzhou to Guazhou Town, the mouth of the river, and saw the endless stream of ships coming and going on the Yangtze River, Harazhu's eyes widened.

"The wealth of the Central Plains was an eye-opener for me. There are more boats on the Yangtze River than the herdsmen of the Siziwang Banner. ”

Hara Zhu stopped in Guazhou for five days because he had to learn the etiquette of an audience with Chen Hui, which was very different from that of the Manchus. And he really felt that there were more ships coming and going to Guazhou Town in five days than there were more people in his four princes' banners, too many and too dense.

After twenty-two days, Hara Zhu arrived safely in Nanjing, and Chen Han's prosperity along the way had left a deep impression on him. As for the strength of Chen Han's armed forces, there is no need to prove it with these. The combat effectiveness of the Fu Han army has been engraved with the word 'invincible' in the hearts of every Mongolian with the blood of Mongolia!

The Siziwang Banner is divided into twenty sumu, that is, Zuoling, and the population of the whole banner is close to 17,300 people. After deducting the number of people killed and captured in the war, the current population of the Siziwang Banner is less than 16,800.

Compared with the wealth of the Central Plains and the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River, Hara Zhu is most impressed by the large number of people in the Central Plains. Along the way, you can see a population comparable to the entire Siziwang Banner in any town, and those big cities are even more than the population of the entire Inner Mongolia Six Leagues. Although the war proved that the cities of the Central Plains were really unusable, even a county town here was so huge.

Harazhu once thought that Zhangjiakou was already prosperous, and Beijing was even more spectacular, but Beijing seemed to be the same thing than Nanjing.

The population of Nanjing now exceeds 400,000, which is a registered person, and there are no less than 200,000 foreigners without household registration. Whether it is scale or prosperity, it is not inferior to Beijing in its heyday, and the cityscape is much stronger than the original Beijing. No matter how dirty people are, they also like to be clean, and the Beijing in Harazhu's memory is compared with the current one, one is a chase shop, and the other is a private room, and subconsciously feels that the latter is too much.

What's more, before going south, he also saw the dilapidated side of Beijing. Where is it like heaven on earth.

"It would be nice if these were all your own!"

Any nomadic people outside the Seychelles have deep 'expectations' for the protection of the Central Plains, and the Mongols, as martyrs who completely cut off the Han dynasty, have a special feeling. It's just that this impulse comes and goes faster. Because the powerful combat effectiveness of the Fu Han Army mercilessly warned him not to have the slightest thought.

"Lord Shen, how many cannons have been erected on the head of this Nanjing city?" Forgive Haraju for asking such an unqualified question.

Hara Zhu, who arrived in Nanjing, didn't stop turning around in Nanjing City for a moment, wearing silk and satin, and he didn't look like a Han Chinese. Round and fat flatbread face, red face, and circle legs, standing together with the Han people, how can it be different.

Hara Zhu was shocked to find that Nanjing City was not only arranged with such a dense number of cannons on the city wall facing the wharf, but also the entire Nanjing City, on the city wall he saw, there were open-air or closed and semi-closed gun emplacements, regardless of whether they were important or unimportant positions, the gun emplacements were completely the same dense. Hara Zhu knew the length of the Nanjing city wall, and when he converted it, his heart unconsciously shuddered. If this is true!

Shen Shiying smiled humbly, "The city wall of Nanjing is thirty-five miles, and one hundred and eight light and heavy artillery pieces are arranged. Although the claim of 180 li is a bit imaginary, the brick-built parts of each section add up to about 40 li, and the Jiatu Mountain also has 123 li. There are 152 artillery pieces of various types, and 5 large and small batteries. ”

"This is where my capital is, how can I be negligent." Shen Shiying's tone of voice was really humble, looking at Harazhu's face that couldn't help but change color, and his smile was very non-lethal.

No matter what Hara Zhu thought in his heart at the moment, Shen Shiying felt that it was quite good to have more than 300 cannons in the capital for the first time. At least the shock to the Mongols, very powerful. And before that, he had always agreed with Chen Ming's words:

Nanjing doesn't need city defense artillery!

When the enemy hits the capital, the country will be destroyed!

But at that time, Chen Ming's very 'imposing' proposal was unanimously rejected by the government and the opposition. Nanjing not only needs city defense, but also the most powerful city defense in the whole world, so five forts, more than 300 cannons, especially more than half of the heavy artillery, have arrived one after another.
