Chapter 244: Trouble
Although Yu Zhong is nominally only the customs governor of Heilongjiang, in the specific meaning, he is basically equivalent to the chief executive of Nebuchu. This is of course because of the decentralization of Peng Chun and others, but also because of his and Mo Jing's "contributions" to Nebuchu. Without him and Mo Jing, even if Nebuchu could become a treaty port between China and Russia, he would not be able to gather so many merchants as he does now. On the other hand, Yu Zhong and Mo Jing were also very concerned about Nebuchu, so as soon as they heard that there was a riot in Nebuchu, Yu Zhong immediately hurried over.
However, the result made him very angry!
Where is there any commotion?
Although Nebuchu often fights because of the large number of ethnic minorities and outsiders, but what kind of big deal can this be?
"Junmen, where did you hear about the disturbance in our Nebuchu?" Kangxi did not set up a position such as a capital commander in Nebuchu, so Su Wan, as an old subordinate of Yuzhong, had been promoted to assistant lieutenant of the infantry army, which was basically equivalent to the garrison officer of Nebuchu. Hearing that Yu Zhong was coming, he naturally rushed over, but he didn't expect Yu Zhong to bring such a news.
"Hmph, two businessmen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to Mukden to tell me." Yu Zhong replied.
"A businessman from the Ministry of Internal Affairs? They don't want to live anymore? …… Do you recognize the military gate? Would you like me to check it out for you? Su Wan asked with an angry look.
"I don't think you'll find anything!" Yu Zhong said with a calm face. Deceived! Why would anyone run to Mukden to deceive him? He had seen the two businessmen of the Internal Affairs Bureau, otherwise he would not have believed each other's words like this. But what are these two people for? There must be someone behind them, but who is the mastermind behind the scenes?
"Damn, who are we going to provoke? There are actually rumors about our Nebuchu? Su Wan said angrily.
"Rumors?" Yu Zhong seemed to have caught something suddenly, but he didn't know what to do, and he was anxious.
"Forget it. Junmen, don't think about those nerve-wracking things. The big theater starts today, and I invite you! Su Wan is one of the few people in this era who lives one day at a time, and he doesn't bother to think about the future at all, so he immediately put aside his worries and pulled Yu Zhong out. Yu Zhong couldn't figure it out for a while, and he didn't bother to think about it anymore, so he went with him, of course, he didn't forget to order his subordinates to go back and tell Mo Jing, who was rushing here, and the old man Fei, who was in Fengtian
……
"Junmen, a few days ago, another group of gypsies rushed over, and I heard Yesenia say that they brought a new repertoire, which happened to be performed today, you are really lucky!" On the way, Su Wan said to Zhong again.
"Yesenia? Hmph, you're still hooking up with her? Yu Zhongleng snorted, gave Su Wan a burst of chestnuts, and asked.
"Ugh. Junmen, you can't blame me for this. They gypsies have never married foreigners, and I can't force them, can I? Su Wan said with a smile.
"Can't force it? Hmph, I didn't say I wanted you to marry her, I just warned you that it was best not to get into any illness. The disease of the West cannot be cured in the East. Yu Zhong snorted again and said.
"Hehe, please rest assured. Meaning ...... little," Su Wan's smug smile made Yu Zhong and Yu Zhong look straight and shake his head. Now Nebuchu is getting more and more Western-style. Originally, the people gathered here were mostly Manchus, Mongolians, and Russians, and they were not so people who believed in Confucianism and the customs of the Central Plains, but because of the relationship between the nation and the state, the separation between these people was relatively large, and they could only be said to be peaceful when they got along. However, when the Gypsies intervened, it was different.
It is undeniable that the Gypsies are a very dynamic people. Although their lives are hard and they wander all year round, they still have their own culture. Among their national cultures, the most remarkable ones are music and dance. Almost every gypsy can be called a good singer and dancer. Their music and dance are fast-paced, enthusiastic and infectious. In the same way, in Nebuchu, there is also a people who can sing and dance, the Mongols. So, everything began to change after Yu Zhong built the theater in order to change the atmosphere of the city of Nebuchu.
The small collision of the music and dance of the two ethnic groups quickly made the residents of Nebuchu quickly accept a group of wanderers led by Yesenia, and this collision of ethnic music and dance was not only Mongolian and Gypsy, the opening of the Zhangni Highway made many Han merchants also arrive in Nibuchu. Naturally, some people see the business opportunities brought by theater. As a result, these businessmen found many Han artists from Guannai and brought literature and art from Guannai. Coupled with the fact that Mo Jing always misses a little bit or two of things every time he comes, it can be said that Nebuchu's song and dance music is the closest to the future in the world today.
Of course, not all the changes brought about by the Gypsies were good. "Men are thieves, women are prostitutes", although there is a lot of slander in the words that refer almost exclusively to the Gypsies, but there is also a little weight in it. Yesenia and the others who came first have corrected a lot because of the change in their living environment, and their performance is better, but some other gypsies who also came after receiving the news are a little unpopular, and they do have a bit of "thief" nature. Moreover, although they wander from place to place, they still adhere to their traditions in the process of wandering...... Without intermarriage with foreigners, mysterious religious rituals, etc., they were still very isolated from the local area several years after they arrived in Nebuchu. If it weren't for the fact that the various ethnic groups of China have always been known for their broad-mindedness and hospitality, and who are only curious about their traditions but not strange, I am afraid that they would have been blown away by the unrealistic descriptions of them by merchants from the Netherlands and Russia.
However, these are only minor issues. Yu Zhong and Mo Jing were most worried about another thing. That's the "disease"! Sexual diseases, to be exact. This is an obscure topic that has to be mentioned. Gypsy women are coquettish and exotic, especially if they are not responsible afterwards, so for men, and rude men occupy the vast majority of seats, Nebuchu has far stronger "competition" and temptation than Chinese women at this time. However, Yu Zhong and Mo Jing both understood that venereal diseases, syphilis, gonorrhea and later AIDS, etc., all of these things were transmitted to China from the West, and these gypsy women are very likely to become a media, what should they do if something happens? If it weren't for the fact that there are only about 100 gypsies in Nebuchu now, and there are only a few "threatening" women, the matter is not too urgent, plus cutting off China's contact with foreign countries is impossible and cannot be done, and completely blocking the transmission of those diseases is basically wishful thinking, Yu Zhong and Mo Jing are afraid that they would have started to drive people out a long time ago.
……
"What's that? How did it catch fire? ”
Before Yu Zhong and Su Wan reached the "big" theater of Nanibchu, Yu Zhong found that black smoke began to rise not far away.
“…… Oh no, it's a theater! Su Wan also saw the black smoke, and after a slight pause, he shouted, and then, without saying hello to Yu Zhong, he immediately slapped his horse and rushed forward.
……
"My lord, those two groups of people fought and burned down our theater......" Su Wan and Yu Zhong were not far from the theater, but when they arrived, they saw a pot of messy porridge. The stage was already burning, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger, but no one was going to put out the fire. Because around the stage, more than 100 people were drawing knives and fighting, and the fight was quite fierce, and they all saw blood, and a few of them had already fallen in a pool of blood, and I don't know if there was any anger. …… Although Nebuchu has a lot of soldiers, no one wants to mix in this kind of seemingly "desperate" thing casually, it doesn't matter to him, he doesn't have a command, and he doesn't know who is fighting, so most of them just hide from a distance like those who come to watch the performance and the actors who are supposed to perform. However, due to the urgency of the previous construction, the structure of this theater is all wooden, and if the fire is not extinguished, it will definitely burn out.
"Stop it, who the fuck are you? Beat Lao Tzu again and cut you one by one! Su Wan looked at this scene and shouted angrily. Yesenia was his mistress, and although the theater did not belong to the Gypsies, it was for these people to perform today. Now that they are all stirred up by this group of people, how can he not be angry?
", where the bastard? Run to your grandfather and call a fart? A guy who was sitting at a table of eight immortals drinking tea heard Su Wan's cry and sneered.
"Where did you come from, that you dare to run to Nebuchu to spread wild?" When Su Wan heard this person's words, he immediately understood the identity of the other party, and immediately became furious, immediately pulled out his saber, pointed at the other party with the tip of the knife and asked.
"What's wrong with Nebuchu? Could it be that this is still the Jinluan Treasure Palace, and it can't be fought and bloody? Boy, how the fuck do you dare to point a knife at Lao Tzu? Do you know who Lao Tzu is? The man didn't care about Su Wan's threat at all, and just sneered.
"Lao Tzu doesn't care who you are, tell them to stop immediately." Su Wan said angrily again.
"My brother faints easily at the sight of blood, and he can't stop!" The man sneered.
"Can't stop? Hmph, then Lao Tzu will capture you first! Su Wan snorted angrily, jumped off his horse, and slashed at the man.
"I'm afraid of you?" Seeing that Su Wan waved his knife and slashed over, the man did not show weakness, drew the knife to stand up, snorted coldly, raised his leg towards Su Wan's lower abdomen is kick, Su Wan dodged, and slashed back with a backhand, just like that, the two fought back and forth.
……
"Yu Junmen, what's going on?"
Su Wan's joining the war group did not change anything, but the speed at which Nebuchu's garrison arrived was not slow. The general who took the lead was with Tai Zhong, and when he saw Yu Zhong watching from the sidelines, he naturally asked him first.
"I don't know. …… Separate the people who do it first. Who dared to resist and chopped his leg! Yu Zhong said with a gloomy face.
"Wow!" The general who led the troops bowed in response and immediately rushed into the battle group with the soldiers.
……
The results were somewhat unexpected!
The guy who did it with Su Wan was obviously not a die-hard, and when he saw Nebuchu's garrison rushing over, he immediately forced Su Wan away, and then, he honestly abandoned his sword and was bound, and he didn't forget to greet his men. And the other group of people who did it with them were the same, they also stopped immediately after the arrival of the garrison, and they were very "law-abiding". In the end, Yu Zhong asked those little pawns to be taken up, and only pulled out the two leaders separately and began to interrogate. As for the theater, most of it burned down, and it must be rebuilt.
"What's your name? Where did it come from? What are you doing in Nebuchu? Why hands-on with each other? ”
"Who are you? Why do you ask Lao Tzu? "The two who took the lead, the guy who did it with Su Wan was a little thin, and the other was a little stronger, but although the two were arrested, they still looked arrogant, and they didn't mean to look at Yu Zhong at all.
"Fuck, what are you crazy about? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu will give you a hundred kills first? Su Wan saw the appearance of the two and said angrily.
"Hmph. A little infantry assistant lieutenant, what can he do when he runs in front of Lao Tzu? If it weren't for the fact that you are a local, with your two-handed bullshit knife technique, Lao Tzu would have sent you back to the West. …… Okay, don't you want to ask who Lao Tzu is? You can't defend yourself, Lao Tzu is the general of Uriya Sutai, under the command of the prince of Narsu, and the current leader, named Zakuta. Go and inquire! The guy who did it with Su Wan snorted coldly and said.
"Lao Tzu Jingge Li is also a soldier of Uriya Sutai, and he is currently the leader of the Protector Army!" Another guy who took the lead also reported his name.
"Uriya Sutai? Damn, you people from Uriya Sutai actually came to our Heilongjiang to make trouble, okay, I see how you Pingjun King explained to our General Peng! Su Wan was stunned for a moment, and then shouted angrily. Although Nebuchu's location was close to Manchuria, it was not under the jurisdiction of Heilongjiang before, but later because Mo Jing deceived Fei to Dorona and the old man of Russia, Baikal and other large areas were assigned to the territory of the Qing Dynasty, which was temporarily under the jurisdiction of General Heilongjiang. Later, the Uriya Sutai General's Mansion was established to govern the military and political affairs of Outer Mongolia, but because Peng Chun, the Heilongjiang general, took the first step to hold the jurisdiction of Lake Baikal to Nebuchu, the jurisdiction of Uriya Sutai could only be expanded to the west. Although the cities of Kulun, Kobdo and Uriya Sutai are themselves important transit towns for trade between the Central Plains and the west, the oil and water in these places are still not as good as Nebuchu, so the general of Uriya Sutai Narsu has always been very angry about this matter, and he has not been arguing with Peng Chun. However, although Narsu has the title of King Pingjun, Peng Chun is not afraid of him, and the dispute between the two has been fruitless. However, what is unexpected is that this time the people of Uriya Sutai actually went to Nebuchu to fight, although they started to fight by their own people, but it was the place where Nebuchu was burned?
"Confession? Damn, Lao Tzu does things alone, why do you want our prince to explain to your general? Our prince didn't do anything with anyone here, and he didn't burn down your house! Hearing Su Wan's words, both Zakuta and Ginkley shouted loudly. However, both of them are now tied up, and doing so can only be a punch and kick for nothing...... Nebuchu's soldiers don't care what kind of officials they are, since these two people are guilty here, they should be beaten, where will they be polite?
"Do all of you do things alone? Don't you have a lot of guts? …… Can you take it?! Yu Zhong has been coldly observing these two generals, these two people came strangely, although I don't know if they were really sent by Narsu, but their performance always made Yu Zhong feel a little too pretentious. However, now is not the time to care about this, these two people are still arrogant when they make trouble, and they almost say that they are here to make trouble, if this is not taken care of, then will the order of Nebuchu be in the future? Without good order, the commercial effect will definitely be greatly reduced, which is not what Yu Zhong wants to see.
"What's not to afford? Didn't you just burn down a theater? It's a big deal. Lao Tzu can't even afford to pay for a few broken houses. Zakuta snorted.
"Burned down a theater? You're really going to shirk it! Do you know that you have committed a capital crime? Yu Zhongleng snorted.
"What? Capital crime? You're fucking scared, aren't you? Lao Tzu didn't kill a dog or kill a person, so why did he commit a capital crime? Zakuta shouted.
"Not bad. The people of Zakuta and I only 'sparred' with each other and didn't hurt anyone else, so why is it a capital offense? Jinggoli also said loudly.
"Su Wan!" Yu Zhong suddenly shouted.
"The end will be! What do you command? Hearing Yu Zhong call himself, Su Wan immediately bowed down and hugged his fists.
"Seventeen bans and fifty-four cuts, report them one by one to these two generals!" Yu Zhong said coldly.
"Wow!" Although Su Wan didn't understand what Yu Zhong meant, he immediately recited aloud according to the order:
"Qing military law! One of them: Hearing the drum does not enter, smelling the gold does not stop, the flag cannot be raised, the flag is not subdued, this is called rebelling against the army, and the offender is beheaded. Second: the name should not be called, the time is not enough, the time is not violated, and the law of the teacher is changed, which is called a slow army, and the offender will be beheaded. Third: Spread the battle at night, neglect and do not report, and even more plan to violate the slow, the voice is unknown, this is called slackness, and the offender is beheaded. Fourth: complain more, anger its main general, do not listen to constraints, and teach it to be difficult to control, this is called forming an army, and the offender is beheaded. …… The fifteenth: to use the wound to avoid the expedition, pinch the wound and fake the death, so as to escape, this is called the fraud of the army, and the offender is beheaded. Sixteenth: The master is in charge of money and food, and when he gives rewards, he is a private relative, so that the soldiers and soldiers have a grudge, which is called a bad army, and the offender is beheaded. Its seventeenth: the view of the thief is not judged, the thief is unknown, to the point of not speaking, more is less, less is more, this is called the wrong army, the offender is beheaded ......" (the Qing Dynasty military law is indeed very strict, so that there is a Qing generation, even in the case of corruption of officials, there are still many martyred civil and military officials. )
"Take a closer look, what are the two of them?" Hearing Su Wan's recitation, Yu Zhong asked coldly.
“…… Eighth: As a general, he has a good tongue and sharp teeth, acts recklessly, and transfers sergeants to make them discordant, which is called slandering the army, and the offender will be beheaded. Ninth: Wherever you go, abuse its people, this is called a traitorous army, and the offender will be beheaded! Su Wan sneered and looked at Zakuta and Jinggley, thought for a moment, and replied loudly.
"How? Do you think there is anything wrong with these two charges? Yu Zhong also looked at the two of them with a sneer.
"Bullshit, all fucking bullshit." Zakuta and Ginkley shouted loudly. These military orders read out by Su Wan really made the two of them a little nervous. Although the military discipline of the Qing Dynasty does not look very good on the surface, it is actually very strict, so although many generals do not abide by these military orders, but it is only at the bottom, on the surface, and no one dares to mess around, because no matter who violates the military discipline, especially the military orders of the seventeen and fifty-four beheadings, even if it is a prince and nobleman, there is only one way to die. It's an iron law. You must know that even the family law of the ancestors of the Qing court royal family has a clause that "those who lose their land are not allowed to enter the temple" (it is said that Emperor Guang once made his own will and said that he would not be able to enter the temple without a face), which shows that these military laws are not good-looking outside.
"Nonsense? Hum! Since you are both under the command of General Uriya Sutai, and your soldiers are all from the same battalion, why are you fighting each other? It must be that you, as generals, have a sharp tongue and a sharp tongue, act in vain, and transfer sergeants to discord, what is this not 'slandering the army'? Running to our Nebuchu to burn down houses and destroy houses, and still dare to resist arrest and fight with Lord Ben, isn't this abusing the people of the land where he went? Do you think you can get away with the crime of 'traitor'? Su Wan smiled grimly.
"Hmph, you'd better not do this! …… Lao Tzu is under the command of the king of Pingjun, you can't control us! Zakuta and Ginkley remained stubborn.
"Bastard. You have committed a crime on the territory of Nebuchu, why can't Lao Tzu take care of you? Su Wan asked viciously with the handle of the knife.
"Hmph, you're just a little infantry lieutenant, and if you dare to touch us, you'll be guilty of the following; As for your ......" Zakuta turned his face to look at Yu Zhong again, and said with a mocking smile: "Lao Tzu didn't make trouble at the customs, and he didn't make trouble with the seaside, why do you care about me?" You are not a general in Heilongjiang, here, not your jurisdiction! ”
"Customs? …… Do you know who I am? Yu Zhong's eyes widened and he asked.
