On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the eleventh year of the Chinese calendar, Wan Lei officially resigned as president and moved out of Huayuan, where he had lived for ten years. Zhou Tianshou also swore an oath to defend the Constitution of the Republic of China on the same day and officially became the third president. Then
As Wan's family moved out, he also moved his family into Huayuan.
Unlike Wan Lei who had two wives, one wife and one concubine, Zhou Tianshou only had one official wife, Mrs. Yang, and did not take any concubines. He could be regarded as a model couple. Read the full text of Peerless Heavenly Medicine. Mrs. Yang gave birth to two sons and one daughter for him, which can be said to be a model couple.
Happy and contented.
The Wanzhou family can be said to be family friends. Not only Wan Lei and Zhou Tianshou are brothers, but Mrs. Yang has also known Fu Wei and Zhao Xueer for many years. Wan Yuan and Wan Sheng often went to school with the two boys of the Zhou family and hung out together.
We often do things like picking dates from trees and fishing in rivers.
Seeing that the Wan family is about to move out of Huayuan, and even go overseas, everyone in the Zhou family is very reluctant to leave. However, there is no such thing as a banquet in the world, and when it is time to leave, Wan Lei will still make up his mind to leave. And Wan
The family didn't have much luggage, only personal belongings. Many things were left in Huayuan. Even the personal gifts given to Wan Lei were packed and sealed in the warehouse as national property for later processing.
The Zhou family did not make much changes to Huayuan. They simply renovated the private rooms where they lived. Many office areas and reception areas remained the same. Because Zhou Tianshou also knew that Huayuan was more like
It is a hotel, and the Zhou family are only temporary residents. Although the stay is a bit long, they will have to move out like the Wan family after the expiration. Therefore, it is also the responsibility of the president to respect and maintain Huayuan as it is.
After the Wan family moves out of Huayuan, they will temporarily live in a small apartment next to Houhaizi. This small apartment is only a few hundred meters away from Huayuan, but both sides of the street are crowded with tens of thousands of farewell people, who stand silently.
On both sides of the road, I saw the carriages of the Wan family driving slowly by, and I couldn't help but burst into tears.
Although Wan Lei has resigned as president, as a former president, he still receives preferential treatment from the state. According to the Constitution of the Republic of China, the outgoing president not only receives a pension, but also has secret service protection until his death. And Wan Lei was the founder of the Republic of China.
A great president, with better treatment, will definitely have a worry-free life.
No, as soon as Zhou Tianshou moved into Huayuan, he issued Presidential Decree No. 1, agreed to the Senate's proposal, made Wan Lei the founding father, and gave him a large fief. However, this fief was a bit weird because it was far away.
In Dadongzhou, it does not belong to the territory of the Republic of China at all.
Although the fiefdom is far overseas, this is what Wan Lei wants, and the decision to become a Duke is decided by the Senate. The Senate also gives Wan Lei a special privilege, which is to form an army and even purchase and equip weapons.
Of course, this privilege is only valid outside the territory of the Republic of China, because in the Republic of China, the army belongs to the state, and private ownership of the army is not allowed, even if it has made great contributions to the country. The Senate gave Wan Lei permission to leave the country.
The power of the military can be regarded as a sideline to the Constitution.
In any case, Wan Lei got what he wanted. In the last two months of his stay in Beijing, he began to deal with his private property. Most of his shares were transferred to the name of Peking University and handed over to the Lixue Foundation for management.
, a small portion of the shares were transferred to the name of the Peking Orphanage as a children's charity fund.
Wan Lei handed out his personal property like beans. Fu Wei and Zhao Xueer didn't say much. They also knew that money would be taken with them whether they lived or died. Anyway, they were about to immigrate as a family, so they didn't want these extraneous possessions.
Forget it. And Wan Lei himself also knows that a large part of his so-called private property was actually obtained in the name of the president. Now that it is returned, it can be regarded as returning it to the people.
It is said that being without an official means being lighthearted, but this does not apply to Wan Lei. When the parliament opens in the first month, he will also attend the meeting as a presidential adviser. After passing the Wenshan Conference, he will also supervise the operation of the Dadong and Xiaodong.
Regarding crew recruitment and material procurement, after all, Dadongzhou is far away across the ocean. Thousands of people are crossing the sea, and they cannot save money on food and drink.
In addition, Dadongzhou is a wild area, and you may not be able to settle down for a year and a half after landing. It is necessary to prepare in advance all kinds of materials that are urgently needed during this period. Among them, the purchase list not only includes necessary items such as kerosene, food, etc.
Supplies, as well as various other necessary supplies, such as various necessary machinery and equipment, and various animals and plants that are not found in Dadongzhou, all need to be brought.
In mid-February, Wan Lei led his family to leave Peiping City, accompanied by nearly 3,000 people. They took the same train to Jinling, because both the Dadong and Xiaodong were parked outside Jinling, and the crew and supplies were all gone.
Basically everything is in place, just waiting for Wan Lei to arrive with the immigration team.
The Da Dong was built with Wan Lei's own funds. Construction started a few years ago and it was put into use at the end of last year. It has undergone many trials and its performance has met expectations. The Dadong is a large cruise ship that can carry four passengers.
More than 1,000 people, plus the crew, the whole ship can carry more than 5,000 people.
The Xiaodong is a heavy destroyer with a crew of more than a thousand people. Except for the fact that it has not been equipped with naval guns, its performance in other aspects is optimal. Moreover, the destroyer also has a large number of guns and ammunition stored in it, enough to equip one.
With an army of more than 2,000 people, this will be Wan Lei's first capital to work hard in Dadong Continent to cross the Buddha and marry his wife.
On the second day of March, all preliminary preparations were completed and all crew members and passengers had boarded the ship. Wan Lei appeared on the Dadong with his wife and children, waving goodbye to countless people seeing him off at the dock. On this day, almost all the people in Jinling
They all came to the riverside to see them off. Even Zhou Tianshou brought his old knowledge with him to practice. Although they were a little reluctant to leave, they still forced a smile and said that if they couldn't survive in the future, they would also go to Dadongzhou to follow Wan Wan.
Let's hang out together, brother.
In the sad atmosphere of farewell, the Dadong slowly left the dock under the tugboat and sailed into the vast river. Even so, there were still many people along the river stopping to watch, and farewell banners were hung along the river.
, Wan Lei was so moved that he stood on the bow of the ship for a long time.
Since both the Big and Little East were equipped with powerful power units and could sail at speeds of up to 40 kilometers per hour, they sailed out of the Yangtze River Estuary and into the vast ocean in just a few hours. At this time, four warships appeared, one in a row.
The front, rear, left and right sides of the Big and Little East began to escort them.
In fact, the East China Sea area has long been under the absolute control of the Peiping Army and Navy. There are no pirates at all. The East China Sea Fleet does this mostly to see more of President Wan Da. As the saying goes, I advise you to have a glass of wine and go west to Yangguan.
Without any old friends, Wan Lei and his party traveled thousands of miles eastward and did not know when they would return to the west. Maybe this farewell would be an eternal farewell.
The sea is vast and boundless. The Big and Little East used full power to break through the waves and sailed hundreds of miles away in half a day. Wan Lei stood on the top deck of the Dadong and watched the afterglow of the setting sun spread on the sea, with dots of golden scales appearing.
, my heart also fluctuates like ocean waves.
"Mr. Wan, if we go two hundred miles further, we will reach Ryukyu. After passing Ryukyu, we will enter the Pacific Ocean. We may not see land after sailing for several days. Should we stop outside Ryukyu to replenish some fresh water?"
The captain of the Dadong is Liu Wan. She used to lead the expedition team on adventures at sea for many years. Although she is over thirty, she is still unmarried. This time she insisted on following Wan Lei eastward, and Wan Lei handed over the Dadong to her.
Pilot.
"Miss Liu, I have given you a hard time these past few years." Wan Lei is not a heartless person. He knows that Liu Wan has never married, and it is actually because of him. However, he already has two wives and a son, and he can do anything.
Taking into account the feelings of his wife and children, it was impossible to marry another wife and take concubines, so Liu Wan was destined to have no relationship with him.
"It is an opportunity to spend my whole life with Mr. Wan. It is even more of an honor for me to work with Mr. Wan. Although I have been wandering at sea over the years, I have left my footprints in many places and have been able to see the world.
It’s so magnificent that this life is not worth it.” Liu Wan smiled calmly, and everything in the past seemed to pass by like a cloud of smoke.
Wan Lei felt relieved when he saw Liu Wan being so indifferent. Maybe she wasn't looking for any status, but was looking for the feeling of knowing each other. Since she could let go, he had nothing to feel guilty about.
"Sister Liu, I heard that we are going to the Ryukyu Kingdom soon. We have never been abroad before. This time we must go ashore to experience the exotic customs. I heard that the Ryukyu Kingdom is also rich in beauties." Zhao Xueer also came to the deck,
Although she is a mother, her wild nature has not diminished at all. Even her son Wan Sheng is the same as her: full of wild nature.
"Exactly, the Ryukyu Kingdom is so poor that it even needs food assistance from the Republic of China. The people are so hungry that their faces are yellow and thin. What kind of beauties are they rich in?!" Wan Lei rolled his eyes at Zhao Xueer and said angrily.
In fact, the reason why the Ryukyu Kingdom is so miserable is mainly because the Republic of China has blocked its maritime territory. For this small island country, without maritime trade, it means losing its livelihood. Over the years, the Ryukyu Kingdom has been "exporting labor" in exchange for food.
, to put it simply, it means trading people in exchange for food. Most of these exported people are transported to Taiwan Island and Qiongzhou Island to grow rubber and sugar cane, and are treated the same as slave labor.
"I don't care, I must go to the island to see it this time." Zhao Xueer glared at her husband. When Liu Wan saw that the couple started to bicker, she stepped aside very wisely.
"Anyway, I'm just passing by. It's okay to go and have a look, but safety comes first." Wan Lei also wanted to stop in the Ryukyu Kingdom, and even more wanted to meet the King of Ryukyu to see if he could take the lead in peacefully solving the Ryukyu Kingdom's problem. After all, this
The country has a high degree of Chineseization, and there are rich fishery resources in the surrounding areas. If it can be unified under the Republic of China, it will not only have a fishery base, but also serve as an ocean relay station. Why not do it.
"Don't worry, if you give the King of Ryukyu 10,000 courage, he won't dare to attack our great founding father, unless he wants to annihilate his race." Zhao Xueer grinned, showing her white teeth.
