Chapter 5 On the Banks of the Tianliao River (I)
Updated: 20-04-4
The villagers acted as the people's husbands carrying more than ten gifts, Wu Chang, Weng Lishui, Wu Qiolin and two prostitutes who came to the labor army sat in a sedan chair, and the group came to the Tianliao River.
The Tianliao River is about two or three kilometers long and originates in the mountains east of Keelung. The river flows through the north side of Ershawan Mountain and directly into Keelung Bay, where the low-lying areas on both sides are mudflats and overgrown with weeds.
At the foot of Ershawan Mountain is a winding seaside path, with the north bank of the Tianliao River at one end, Dashawan at the other, and the Ershawan Fort in the middle. The Ming army has now set up a guard post at the entrance to the north bank of the Tianliao River, and a barrier wall made of giant trees has been placed in front of the sentry.
Between the outpost and the riverbank is a large overgrown tidal flat, where a commodity trading zone is planned. After the Tianliao River is renovated, a reinforced concrete Tianliao River bridge will be built on the river. A wide graded highway will lead from the Tianliao River Bridge to Dashawan, Bachimen, and then to Badouzi.
Wang Qinian and his surveying and mapping team have already surveyed and mapped the north bank of the Tianliao River from Dashawan and along the seaside path.
Dunan Island started to form an infrastructure engineering team a month ago. In addition to construction, more than 1,000 skilled construction workers have also strengthened military training and strengthened their organizational discipline. Among them, those who have a particularly clever head and can know a few words, Lin Dejia regards these people as the backbone of the infrastructure construction regiment and focuses on training. These members of the surveying and mapping team are the students of Wang Qinian's surveying and mapping training course.
Wang Qinian is 26 years old, a native of Hepu, Guangxi, and his family has been a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for generations. He is a civil engineer for highways, has a certificate as an architect and planner, and is in the field of surveying and planning. Wang Qinian is a meticulous thinker and is particularly good at analytical reasoning.
The precise topographic circle is the basis for construction planning and construction design. Although the drone has carried out aerial photography of the whole area of Keelung, and stitched it into a large map on the computer, and according to the shooting time, day height, and shadow of the side shot, the contour height is calculated and drawn into a contour topographic map. But the drone flight cannot be uniform, the photos coincide partially, irregularly, there are distortions. This requires a correction review by surveying and mapping.
Ground mapping, if modern electronic instruments are used, the standard configuration is a group of four people, one mapper, one instrument, two running poles. First measure the coordinates of each point, connect the line from the point, connect the surface by the line, add the elevation, and draw the contour line is a complete topographic map.
Benchmarks were erected at several points on the side of Ershawan Mountain and on the north bank of the Tianliao River, and in order to improve the speed of surveying and mapping, six people were running poles. Wang Qinian looked at the total station from afar, and a surveyor was drawing beside him.
The estuary area on the north bank of the Tianliao River is undeveloped, and the grass is tall and lush. The pole runner was running, and from time to time he exclaimed, "Snake, it's another snake basking in the sun." ”
Although the poisonous snakes are a little scary, they are all bitter children from the mountains, and now they are all wearing high boots, and they don't care about snakes at all.
Wang Qinian was a little tired, the fog in Keelung today was not very heavy, and the sun that had climbed overhead made him sweat constantly. When he heard that he had found the snake, he immediately remembered the delicious snake soup, but now he didn't have time, so he could only swallow his saliva secretly.
About ten meters away from Wang Qinian, there is still a wave of people surveying and mapping through flat plates and levels. Maga and four warriors were on guard with him.
Although modern instruments such as total stations and laser rangefinders are quite fast. It's just that electronic instruments are easily damaged, and it is difficult to manufacture them in their lifetimes. On the one hand, the construction team uses modern instruments for calibration, and on the other hand, the backbone of the Dunan Island surveying and mapping training course uses tripods, flat plates, levels, and benchmarks for exercise.
How to set the line, how to take the benchmark, how to the theodolite and level, these people have already learned, but they haven't put it alone, and they have to be taken by Wang Qinian.
Ma Jia took a squad to be responsible for the defense of the first line of the north bank of the Tianliao River, he was originally guarding the outpost, Wang Qinian's survey and mapping team went out to the north bank of the Tianliao River, and he followed behind and moved the cordon forward to the north bank of the Tianliao River.
There was not a single figure of ordinary people on both sides of the Tianliao River, and as soon as the long line of laborers left Jilong Street, they were reached by the control point standing on a high place, and this side was immediately alerted.
Platoon Commander Maga immediately loaded his bullet and shouted at everyone to be vigilant. Ma Jia is from the shore of Poyang Lake, and he is large and strong, and he is extremely brave.
Wang Qinian was concentrating on surveying and mapping, but when he heard the noise, he took his eyes off the total station and turned his head, "Interesting, the mouse gave a gift to the cat." ”
The team stopped on the other side of the river, and the two women with flowers and branches took the lead out of the sedan chair with the support of Sister A. The muzzle of the vigilant warrior was also lowered.
These people all came from bankrupt families of peasants, boat people and craftsmen, who had never been exposed to such women since they had grown up at the bottom of society.
"Oops! Isn't it just two ragty. Don't forget, you are all glorious Ming engineer soldiers. Wang Qinian immediately scolded a few words, "Hurry up, don't look around, the construction of the project is waiting for us to survey, mapping!" ”
Chunhuajiao smiled and scratched her head, waving her hand with a silk in a variety of styles, "Master Jun, it's hard work, the slave family is here to condolence you." "Hongyu is still a little girl in her teens, more reserved and polite, as if everyone is beautiful or a small jasper, standing slim on the riverbank with the support of Sister A.
The place on Jilong Street is not large, and there are two brothels, and there are thirty or forty prostitutes in total. Chunhua is the red card Oiran of Lichun Courtyard on Jilong Street, and Hongyu is the Qing official who has never opened the Moon Shadow Building on Jilong Street~ bud. This was specially selected by Wu Chang and others according to Lin Guoshan's guidance, one should be enthusiastic, and the other should be moving.
"Sister" is a maid hired in a brothel to accompany the popular Oiran, usually with some old and decrepit prostitutes. When Oiran was called on a business trip, they often accompanied him, helping Oiran in case of accidents, and also helping the brothel boss to monitor Oiran's movements.
"Stop arguing!" As Maca stood guard at the crossing, he shouted at the other side of the river, telling the people not to move, and to fire the cannon if they were too long-winded. Ma Jia has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he doesn't like to read, he just wants to make a contribution to the crossing, he doesn't care about girls at all, and he never has the idea of pity and cherishing jade.
Hongyu pursed her lips, touched her sideburns, and stood with her eyebrows lowered; And Chunhua is used to seeing the world, and she doesn't care about Maga's scolding at all, so she just laughs and shakes her handkerchief.
The official who came here to get the gun was angry, and Wu Chang, who had just walked out of the sedan chair, shrank to the back, and he pushed Wu Qiolin to the front.
"Master Jun, we are here to work in the army, and there is no malice at all." Wu Qiolin hurriedly raised his hands and said in Fujian official dialect, "Brothers have come from afar, and they have worked hard, and our fellow villagers on Jilong Street want to express their respect for the military master." ”
Wu Qiolin saw the more than a dozen pirates on the north shore, dressed like sailors on the Citiyi ship. It's just that the man in blue clothes looks like a feng shui gentleman, holding a ruler and other strange objects as if he is surveying the terrain; The people in colorful clothes looked like real bandits, all holding fire guns, aiming at them across the Tianliao River.
"Lao Jun? O Rausch! Ma Jia glanced at Wang Qinian.
Wang Qinian said with a smile, "We can't handle this matter, this is outreach, and it belongs to the work of the headquarters" Wang Qinian's surveying and mapping task has been completed, and he slowly moved towards Ershawan Mountain with the surveying and mapping team.
"That's right, this is the only thing that can only annoy the people at Command!"
After receiving instructions from the command, Maga asked the group of Chicken Coop Street to cross the river and talk.
There is no bridge on the Tianliao River, and the original ferry boat is across the south bank of the river, and the captain has long disappeared.
The townsmen of Jilong Street were not amateurs in rowing, they picked up the rocking oars and acted as the captains, and a small boat ran back and forth three times, first sending the gift burden across the river, and finally transporting Wu Chang, Weng Lishui, Wu Qiaolin and others to the north bank.
There were more than 20 villagers who crossed the river first and carried the burden ashore, and after they went ashore, they found that there were few thieves with firearms, and they were all wearing colorful clothes; The blue-clad thieves were scattered along the riverbank, not knowing what they were doing. As a result, these townsmen are a little ready to move, and the probes are not very honest.
"Get on the bayonet!"
At the sound of Maga's order, four warriors lined up in an arc with steel guns loaded with bayonets to surround the ferry. When it came to Xueliang's bayonet, the villagers were suddenly timid, and they didn't dare to move. There is only one Xiangyong named Li Shishi, who is usually ruthless and brave, and he is also the number one person in the Xiangyong of Jilong Street. Before coming out, Li Shishi was appointed by Lin Yicheng to reconnoitre, and after going ashore, he took the opportunity to avoid the sharp bayonet and wanted to insert it from behind Ma Jia.
Ma Jia had already noticed this guy, he turned his body slightly to the right, pulled the M6A4 automatic rifle in his hand with both hands back, and smashed the butt of the gun into the lower abdomen of this countryman. The M6A4 automatic rifle and Lin Youde's revolver are both standard weapons for officers above the platoon commander.
The butt of the steel gun smashed so strong that Li Shi immediately fell to the ground, his body curled up and rolled on the ground. Ma Jia then turned around with the sole of his right foot as the axis, and put the muzzle of the gun against this guy's head, "Be honest, if you are not honest, I will kill you!" ”
The villagers were all stunned at once, and Li Shishi didn't dare to move.
In the direction of the outpost, two warriors had already reinforced behind Ma Jia, and the two grabbed Li Shishi three times and tied him up, and searched for a sharp dagger from Li Shishi's body.
Ma Jia immediately turned around, flat-ended M6A4 automatic rifle, his eyes patrolled the ferry, and shouted, "Don't move, the people who carry the burden are all sitting on the ground, and they are not allowed to move." ”
"Don't move, get down on your knees, get down on your knees!" Wu Chang and Weng Lishui were frightened, Wu Chang was the security chief, he and Wu Qiolin could understand Mandarin, the two of them didn't wait to get off the boat, they shouted, and then Weng Lishui also followed behind and shouted.
The ship finally sent Wu Chang, Wu Qiaolin, Hongyu and others to the north shore.
After going ashore, Wu Qiolin saw that the townsmen who carried the burden surrounded the burden, kneeling on the ground honestly, Wu Chang and Weng Lishui also shrank behind him, he hurriedly held the big red prayer post, and trembled to show his intention to Ma Jia again.
"Is there an army with a sharp knife?" Ma Jia was very angry, he waved his hand, "Stand still, wait until you are done searching!" ”
"Master Jun, you are really mighty! The slave family likes it so much. The little feet of the spring flowers with heavy makeup couldn't stand up slowly, so they smiled and walked towards Maga with the sweet and greasy aroma of fat powder.
The two warriors had already returned to Maga's back, and without waiting for Maga's orders, two bright bayonets immediately met him, and Chunhua immediately lost her complexion, and was so frightened that she took two steps back and retreated to Ruby's side. The two prostitutes and the sister who supported them were all stupid, "Plop! "Plop!" All of a sudden, they all fell to their knees.
The two soldiers stepped forward to search the gang one by one, searched around, and found a total of two sharp knives.
"Misunderstanding, this is definitely a misunderstanding. A sharp knife may be used for self-defense. Where Wu Qiolin and the others were pestle, the smiles on their faces were a little stiff.
