Chapter 584: The Exile
The blue sky is studded with white clouds, and the bright sunlight shines on the fields. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Shandong in early summer, it is not too hot, and the temperature is pleasant. In the bright sunshine, it is the season to wander among the flourishing flowers and plants, watch the birds fly and listen to the insects, and enjoy the flowers and drink the wine.
However, for most Shandong people, such comfort is destined not to be enjoyed, because there is too much work to press, so that people can not enjoy the slightest leisure. Among them, the main pressure is the migration from Henan and Shaanxi provinces.
Such large-scale migration has not been organized for a long time. Even the old officials in the yamen lacked the experience to deal with this kind of work, and although Shandong's administrative system had been improved, it was far more efficient than its counterparts in other provinces. However, such a difficult problem is in front of us, and it is extremely difficult to achieve a qualified result.
A huge population of nearly one million people has entered Shandong Province one after another, even if there are deaths and escapes caused by various factors along the way. However, the total number of immigrants arriving in Shandong still exceeds 900,000.
For the current Shandong and even northern Jiangsu, the influx of such a huge population in one breath is itself an unstable factor. Outlaws among immigrants, local underground gangs. At the beginning of the contact, it is natural that there will be conflicts over the decision to dominate, and then there will be fights, bloodshed, and death that will arise from this......
After the initial turmoil and tearing apart, some forces will disappear, and other forces will merge with each other to form a new power structure. These new forces will become more vicious and powerful than the old gangs, and at the same time, they will also become more sophisticated. The authorities, who have always strictly controlled the underground forces, have unexpectedly adopted an attitude of ignoring these outsiders and connived at their development through various illegitimate means.
At the same time, as soon as another group of new forces emerged, they were attacked by the police and even the army, and they died out. Many people can see the stake, and many people can't see it. However, it is clear to all that with the arrival of immigrants, a new order will also be established.
For businessmen, a large number of immigrants means a huge number of business opportunities. Although the immigrants themselves did not have much money, in order to settle the hundreds of thousands of Dingkou, the Shandong government had to come up with a large amount of money and a large amount of supplies, which contained business opportunities, like a huge magnet, attracted several provincial giants to Shandong Province.
As a result, the station, wharf and even the hotel have become extremely busy, and they have spent the money they earn in Shandong while earning money. Ludi's restaurants, inns, clear buildings, and gambling halls are all thriving and very lively. It also allows the people to bear the pressure of public security, life, transportation and other pressures brought by refugees, and begin to enjoy the business opportunities brought by refugees.
The villages that used to be crowned with surnames have become unworthy of their names, and each village, under the arrangement of the security officers, has accommodated a large number of foreigners with foreign surnames. Originally, the clan power of Shandong was deliberately targeted by Zhao Guanhou several times, and then suffered greater losses due to the impact of large-scale immigration. In the countryside, the clans that originally relied on maintaining order and fighting against the government were torn apart by the impact, and they no longer had the ability to fight.
At the same time as these refugees settled in, another news also spread in the villages, this is just the beginning, in the future, there will be more immigrants from Shaanxi and Henan provinces to Shandong, like this kind of resettlement, there will be more and more.
In addition to the normal immigrants, a large number of prisoners captured from the Shaanxi battlefield were also transported to Shandong by train. It's just that their luck is obviously not as good as their fellow countrymen, and they don't enjoy any good treatment. As soon as they entered the province, they were immediately closely monitored, and immediately engaged in heavy manual labor.
Railways, roads, warehouses, fortresses. There are countless physical labors waiting for them in Shandong, even if these people's physical fitness is excellent, but after so many conscriptions, I am afraid that there are not even half of the people who are alive.
As a civil and military yamen and even subordinate officials in Shandong, it was not an easy task to prepare tools, arrange labor, and even raise food rations for so many people. Everyone canceled the vacation, and everyone put into the intense labor, for fear that any one link was negligent, which would cause a catastrophe.
Of course, at all times, there are exceptions. In the entire Shandong officialdom, when they were busy meeting this unprecedented challenge, there were also people who were idle.
On the Yantai wharf, the culprit who caused all this to happen is blowing the sea breeze and traveling with the United States. Behind her, there are beautiful maids holding umbrellas and fanning fans, and there are guards with guns to escort them, which is both majestic and comfortable. Compared with the busy director of Yantai Customs, who has not returned home for three days, it is one day and one place.
"In the past, I was in Jinmen, although I also had the opportunity to see the sea, but I didn't have time. At that time, I was thinking about how to make a few more dollars to eat, and how could I have time to go to the beach to play. If you can't see your hometown now, you have to look at Shandong. Let's go back, let's set up a few reclining chairs here, and the three of us will lie here together, and then let people squeeze watermelon juice for us to drink. When you get tired of lying down, you go swimming in the sea. By the way, how about I design that swimsuit, when to wear it, and I can also give you sunscreen. ”
Su Hanzhi shyly twisted Zhao Guanhou's arm, "If you dare to talk nonsense, I won't accompany you out." Everyone else is busy in the dark, and you are lazy here. Do you want me to follow you crazy...... That swimsuit ......"
Thinking of the so-called clothes designed by Zhao Guanhou, Su Hanzhi was even more ashamed, and he strengthened his hand, "If you dare to take this out again, it's strange to see that I spared you." Even if it's a foreign girl like Leng He, I don't think I'm embarrassed to wear that. ”
On the other side, Shige Yuqing, who was dressed as a man and looked like a handsome son, smiled and said, "It's not all Hanzhi that you are used to." No matter how much he messes around, in the end you help him, and of course he becomes more and more lawless. ”
She has just given birth to a child for a short time, but she has recovered well, her body shape has not been out of shape, and she is still graceful. Standing with Su Hanzhi on the left and on the right, standing beside Zhao Guanhou, and Zhao Guanhou's ten fingers were tightly clasped, reluctant to let go.
"Besides, I think what Guanhou said is very good, we are here to blow the sea breeze and watch the sea view, which can be regarded as family fun. It's a pity that Bao Ci is too small to withstand the wind. Otherwise, if you hold him together, it will be a family. ”
Su Hanzhi shook his head secretly, Shigege's second child gave birth to a son, obviously treating his son as a magic weapon. Not only does he seem to be in the main room, but he treats himself as a veritable enemy, and he doesn't mention a sister in his title.
Even when calculating the family, only this son was considered, and the other female relatives in the family, including his own daughter Xiaoci, were not counted. When I thought of Xiaoci these days, I always cried in my arms, saying that my mother didn't want her, and I was a little disapproving.
For the sake of family harmony, she couldn't find a language problem clearly, so she had to change the topic and ask Zhao Guanhou: "When will those foreigners come?" Only a few of us receive them, and there is no guard of honor, will they not be unhappy. ”
Without waiting for Zhao Guanhou to speak, Yuqing had already spoken first, "You think too much, these Tiele people are here to flee, if we put on a big scene to receive them, they may not dare to come." The momentum is too great for Tiele to do well, and it will send a note demanding that we extradite important criminals from our country back to Tieler. Once Shandong can't withstand the pressure, they will be tantamount to falling into the tiger's mouth. There are so many countries in Taixi, why don't they go and come to China? is worried that he will become a victim of the exchange of interests, or be set up as a puppet and use as a gunman for others. Now when you come to our Shandong, you naturally have to be cautious, at least from the handle, don't let people catch anything, so that you can live in peace. ”
Su Hanzhi was counted down by her, smiled, and did not speak. Zhao Guanhou asked: "How about it, there won't be any Tiele reporters rushing in suddenly and taking a few photos." ”
"You can rest assured, the guards along the way were arranged by me myself, and I guarantee that there will be no problems. My subordinates, there are six CDs here, responsible for guarding and keeping secrets along the way, and nothing bad will happen. ”
Zhao Guanhou smiled: "It won't be bad or not, at least when I came all the way, I found three flaws that could be arranged." But don't worry, I've already arranged for someone to make it up. You just gave birth to Baoci, you still have to raise it, and in the future, I will teach you slowly. ”
The three of them talked, waited for the time, and after about twenty minutes, the Baoshun ship sent a message from the sea, proving that the ship from afar was about to arrive. Zhao Guanhou took the two women directly to the vicinity of the dock, and it didn't take long, and in the distance, two behemoths, spitting black smoke, approached the port.
"They...... Bigger than our Baoshun! Yuqing glanced at it, and was a little in a daze for a while.
As far as the Shandong Navy is concerned, the Baoshun wheel is already a giant existence. Swallowing coal and spewing smoke, the huge paddle wheel overturned the river and the sea, and acted in the inland rivers of Shandong, known as the dragon king on the water.
Since the Shandong Navy had such a warship, the maritime trade has flourished, and many merchants are willing to take the Shandong Sea Road, and this sea area has also been listed as a forbidden area by various pirate leaders. Those men who begged for a living on the water would rather starve to death than come to Shandong to die.
Yuqing also thought that Baoshun was the most advanced steamship today, and as long as there were a few Baoshun, Shandong's coastal defense could be called impregnable. But when she saw the two warships flying the flag of Albion, her first thought was, if these two warships had bad intentions and dumped all the sailors in Shandong, how long could they resist?
The two huge ships like small hills did not show any hostility, on the contrary, they obediently entered the range of the Yantai Fort to show that they had no malicious intent. These two warships were followed by passenger liners carrying the refugees, and the huge fleet entered the port in turn. The one in charge of contact is still Mia.
She went ashore to communicate first, and then a small boat brought batches of passengers from the boat to the shore.
Those who landed first were mainly women and children. Noble ladies dressed in court dresses and various jewelry went ashore with their children. Behind them was an old man with gray hair. Although it was difficult, they all tried their best to maintain decency, the hair comb was shiny, the clothes were straight, and the waist was pulled hard.
At the head was a noble lady of thirty miles, with jewels, fair skin, and a pair of water-blue eyes, shining like jewels. She didn't walk fast, and she didn't look panicked, as if she was not fleeing for shelter, but attending a ball in St. Petersburg.
With elegant steps, he came to Zhao Guanhou, took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and said in fluent Capetian language: "Sophia? Omilova, instead of my husband, the commander of the Black Sea Fleet of Tieler, Alexander? Vasilyevich? Admiral Kolchak, greetings to His Excellency the Governor of Shandong. We are grateful for your generosity and generosity. ”、
"Dear Sophia? Omilova, please don't be polite, helping each other is a virtue that our country has always advocated. I am very happy to be able to meet you and look forward to meeting your husband. ”
Zhao Guanhou's Capetic language surprised Sophia very much, and she looked at Zhao Guanhou with great interest, "Your Capetian language is better than that of your country's diplomats, it is really unimaginable." In St. Petersburg, I have heard your name countless times and seen photographs. I didn't expect your Excellency to be younger and more handsome than in the photo. ”
"Thank you for the compliments of Madame, and your beauty is also like that of the respected Alexander? Vasilyevich? Commander Kolchak was just as famous for his bravery. ”
"Who are these two?"
Before Su Hanzhi could speak, Yuqing had already stretched out his hand first, and said in the equally skillful Capetian language: "Wanyan Yuqing, the righteous daughter of the Empress Dowager Xiaoqinxian, is the wife of the governor of Zhao Guanhou. ”
"Respected princess of the East, your noble temperament makes me recognize at a glance, you must be a nobleman." Sophia saluted Yuqing and asked, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of it." In St. Petersburg, I saw the news that the famous writer of detective novels, Ms. Su, was the wife of the governor of Shandong. Could it be that the Times report is wrong......"
"No, there are no mistakes, it's just that the country is different. Shigege is my wife, but in the main room, it is Ms. Su Hanzhi, that is, her! Zhao Guanhou took Su Hanzhi's hand and shook it with Sophia's hand, Su Hanzhi's Capetian language has also been practiced very proficiently, so that he will not kill the donkey when they meet. Smiled and saluted, greeting her.
Yuqing suffered a loss, and felt a little unhappy, and looked back again, seeing that there were more and more people coming down from the boat, and couldn't help asking, "This is, how many people are there?" ”
"Seventeen hundred, all loyal family members loyal to His Majesty the Great Nicholas III. Their husbands and sons, for the sake of Tiele and His Majesty the Tsar, died under the butcher's knife of the usurper. Their families were mercilessly persecuted. I hope they are in Shandong and can avoid the butcher's knife of the puppet king. In addition, monks, priests, and some soldiers who will always be loyal to the emperor will arrive in Yantai and Rizhao one after another. Hope to get, the same placement. ”
Zhao Guanhou asked, "Where are they now, are they still safe?" ”
"All under the protection of my husband, although the puppet king was born in the navy, there are also loyal guards in the navy who are loyal to the former king and love the motherland. With their protection, these brave people, are safe. After the arrival of the first immigrants, they will arrive one after another, and the total number will be between fifteen thousand and twenty-three thousand. ”
Sophia smiled slightly, "If before that, I still have doubts about Shandong's ability to bear." The immigration feat created by Your Excellency this time has made me fully believe that Shandong is capable of accepting more than 20,000 patriots and innocent women and children. And have the ability to keep them safe. Please rest assured that these people will not become a burden to Shandong. Among them were clergy, doctors, engineers, and brave warriors. They will provide services to Shandong and make you realize their value. (To be continued.) )
