While I was busy working, I saw a ship coming on the sea in the distance. The unique ship silhouette allowed the lookout to recognize at a glance that it was the 67-type multi-purpose landing craft of Chuangzhong. This ship has entered the port since
I haven't moved it again - for fear of wasting gas.
However, the salt workers on the beach panicked, dropped their tools and ran to the village in a panic - the sea was not peaceful these days. Every ship coming from the sea might be an enemy.
Zhang Xingjiao was well-informed and took the Tan family and his son at the entrance of the village to reassure everyone - this was the boat of those short-haired masters, so it would not be in the way.
However, the travelers were very happy. This was the first time in more than two months that they saw their ship sailing on the sea. The executive committee dispatched a ship that was never easily used, which showed how seriously it attached importance to this mission - no
People hope that they are working in a position that is not valued.
Xi Yazhou raised his arm: "Let's go to the beach to greet the navy!"
"Navy!" Everyone laughed and felt quite proud. Aren't they the most advanced navy in this time and space?
At this moment, the landing craft let out a long and passionate whistle. Before the whistle sounded, it emerged from the long waves and headed towards the coast towards them.
Everyone who had no mission walked towards the beach together, followed by dozens of curious children and villagers.
The landing craft had a very deep draft and could not get too close. Xi Yazhou turned on the intercom and the two sides called. Only then did he realize that in addition to the food, cloth and weapons that the team applied for yesterday, the ship also brought a batch of daily necessities.
Supplies and building materials.
"Find us a berth with a draft of 1.2-1.5 meters so that we can grab the beach and unload the cargo." Chen Haiyang called on the intercom.
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
The western part of Hainan Island is dominated by rocky shorelines. In addition to the tidal flats formed by the alluvial sediment in the harbor, small rocky harbors can be said to be everywhere. I soon found a small harbor not far away with a very clear water surface.
It is small and can barely accommodate two or three fishing boats.
The landing craft slowed down and slowly entered the harbor. The landing craft, which had been renovated before crossing, now looked beautiful and mighty. A new unloading boom was installed on the ship. There were two machine gun positions on the ship building.
A military member holding an SKS rifle, an 80 steel helmet, and an orange life jacket looked heroic. He looked a bit like the People's Liberation Army in another time and space - it would be great if each had a machine gun. Xi Yazhou was thinking wildly. Seeing everyone
They came to greet them with smiles on their faces and waving to the welcoming crowd on the shore.
The engine motor roared one last time, took a long breath, and stopped.
The landing craft rushed to the beach and lowered the gangplank. What came out of the boat was a tall and sturdy man with a round face and big eyes. The children who came with him were frightened into silence. The figure who was 190cm tall and weighed 110kg was very powerful to him.
For people at that time, he was simply a giant. This strong man was Chen Haiyang from the military team. He was wearing his own navy blue training uniform and was full of energy.
Chen Haiyang led four military members to Xi Yazhou, lined up in a row, and performed a military salute:
"Report, Captain Chen Haiyang of the Navy's Wuzhishan boat has been ordered to escort the cargo to arrive. Now I will obey your order."
"Organize the unloading immediately!" Xi Yazhou returned the gift with a smile, "Let the masses see what you have brought to them!"
"Yes! Organize unloading immediately."
After Xi Yazhou shook hands with Chen Haiyang and others and thanked them, he opened the written document given to him by the Executive Committee. He read it and said with a smile:
"Great! Great! It really solves the problem."
He excitedly said to Zhang Xingjiao: "Tell Mr. Tan to gather the villagers to prepare for unloading!"
As the villagers slowly gathered around, Xi Yazhou climbed onto the boat building and stood on a high place, with hundreds of eyes staring at him:
"Folks!" Xi Yazhou said with a smile on his face and waved his hand holding the document, "We have been given food and clothing from Bairen City. For the time being, a thousand kilograms of rice have been allocated to the village! These rice are a penny.
No, give it all to everyone!”
There was an incredible silence at first, and then a burst of cheers. Zhang Xingjiao had summoned some young people last night through the Tan family and his son, and taught them to cheer according to the secret code. Some old people and women looked at the boat full of grain and rice.
, shed tears, and the voice gradually became low, and it was replaced by the tears of gratitude from the crowd.
Xi Yazhou continued the voice that had just calmed down and said: "There are still fifty pieces of cloth, all of which are used to make clothes for everyone. This requires the women in the village to help! However, there is not enough cloth. The clothes made may be
Only one piece per family, but there will be more later——"
Before Zhang Xingjiao finished speaking, there was another burst of cheers from the crowd.
"Folks!" Xi Yazhou packed up the documents. "Our livelihood depends on labor, not relief alone. Now Bairencheng needs a lot of sea salt. Let's use our efforts to produce it ourselves. As much sea salt as we have!"
"We have as much strength and salt as we need!" Under the leadership of the Tan family father and son and several people around them, the crowd was incited to great enthusiasm.
Zhang Xingjiao saw that the atmosphere was very lively, and as the head of the banquet arranged, he quickly stood up and said: "Fellow folks! I, Zhang Xingjiao, is also a local aboriginal. He has studied for several years. In the past, the real estate and fields were dominated by big families. In the end, even the ancestral graves were lost.
I won't be able to survive even if I'm being bullied by him..." He mentioned the painful part and kept wiping his eyes with his sleeves, and the people below also started to frown, "The big family has ruined my family and everyone.
We have no clothes and no food." He wiped his eyes and shouted in a hoarse voice, "The short-haired men are here to feed us, clothe us, and help us give birth. Who wants to talk about us again? Who wants to take advantage of us again?
--"
"Needless to say!" the young people roared angrily, "Gou Dahu, the bastard, comes again and smashes his dog's head!"
The elderly people all looked a little scared, but now that the atmosphere had been inflamed, they did not dare to openly say anything discouraging.
"That's right!" Xi Yazhou shouted excitedly, "This salt field is a salt field approved by the imperial court. It is a place where our ancestors made it with a load of water and a spoonful of salt. Why should he be a big family and make a fortune? We must protect the salt.
, protect grain and rice, protect our home, and protect the fruits of our labor!"
The mood of the crowd was extremely excited. Du Wen, who was standing on the side, kept smiling excitedly at first, but then frowned. Xi Yazhou left some foreshadowing in his speech, and did not say that the salt farm belongs to the people - according to the executive committee
I think this salt farm will become the property of Chuanzhong in the future.
Amid the noise of the crowd, Xi Yazhou walked down the landing craft's deck with satisfaction. Bundles of weapons had been unloaded on the ground. These were weapons captured in the Bairentan Battle and have now been refurbished.
In addition to food and cloth, the landing craft also transported red bricks, cement, and some simple tables, chairs and benches recently produced by Bopu Wood Processing Factory to the work team. Since the members of the mechanical team had nothing to do for the time being, they used the wood from the wood processing plant.
Processing equipment, and made some modern furniture for everyone to use.
The work team's camp was also renovated, with building materials available. Under the guidance of the professionals from the construction team that came with the ship, everyone worked together and quickly completed a turret-style building. There are several comfortable rooms nearby.
The tile-roofed house. The 15w radio station brought also added a new antenna transmission tower. Outside the wall, Xi Asia Architecture Group built a screen wall as a publicity board.
On the same day, under the chairmanship of Xi Yazhou, a village committee was established, with a production team and a militia team under it. At Du Wen's suggestion, a women's group was also established - rural women in Hainan all work in the fields, and are known as
Heavy work is known as hard work, so moral education such as male and female defense has little market here.
The militia team was captained by Tan Chengqing, and Zhang Xingjiao wrote a report to the county, to the effect that because the village had been repeatedly invaded by pirates, the township yong was established to protect the village. This legal process is still necessary.
The militia consists of sixty young men. The salt people know some fists and kicks. After getting the weapons, everyone is very energetic. They take time to train in the morning and evening. The swords and guns are flying, it is very lively. Xi Asia
Watching from the sidelines, I feel that although these things are somewhat powerful when fighting alone, they may not be effective in real hand-to-hand combat. Xi Yazhou saw Huang Jiazhai Xiangyong's attack during the battle at Bairentan: it was powerful and powerful.
Rules and regulations. If such a team comes, the militia without organization and discipline will probably collapse at the drop of a hat.
Xi Yazhou had a certain experience in educating recruits, but these militiamen used swords and spears, so he had no idea whether it was appropriate to rashly teach recruits in the firearms era.
"It would be great if we could equip them with firearms!" Xi Yazhou watched their drill and returned to the command post. The people led by Chen Haiyang were still in the camp - they were waiting for the salt people to collect thirty tons of salt.
When the salt was gathered, they and Tan Guihuang crossed the sea to Leizhou to open up the sales channels for the salt.
"The firearms won't be available for a while," Chen Haiyang thought for a moment, "We can practice formation and physical fitness first. These two are useful in the army of any era."
"You must first be reliable politically, and then you can be strong militarily!" Du Wen suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She was now fully devoted to organizing women's groups. She was with Tan Xiaoqin every day, learning the local dialect, "
Our organization is still superficial."
These words shocked everyone present. Indeed, the enthusiasm of the salt people has indeed been aroused, but they are not yet politically reliable at this time. They have only become allies of the time-travelers due to the trend of the times. The firmness of their stance is still
I have to ask a few questions.
Xi Yazhou thought for a while and said: "At present, the first thing is to establish an organization. The village committee and the militia have been established, but it has not yet taken root in the salt field. We must cultivate activists among the salt people and develop a group of people who share weal and woe.
. Only in this way can we take root in the salt field. We must gradually promote cadres from the salt people."
Everyone agreed with Xi Yazhou's opinion. Du Wen said: "I want to set up a training class - let's call it Ma Niao Farmer Training Center. It will train some salt farmers and develop a backbone, and I will give the lecture. What do you think?"
"
This view happened to be the same as Wang Luobin's. However, Xi Yazhou didn't want Du Wen to lecture on political theory. He said: "Okay, the name of the workshop is good. It just so happens that Wang Gong also has the idea of holding a technical training class. Let's do it together."
Let’s start with this matter. Let’s start with literacy and learn to speak Mandarin! We all have to spend part of our time giving lectures.”
