Section 140 Building a Harmonious Lingao (1)

 Section 140: Building Harmony Together (1)

After the prisoner interrogation was over, there were disagreements about the whereabouts of the prisoners.

According to the usual prisoner work procedures, after interrogation, screening and registration, prisoners in combat will all go through "purification" procedures and then be incorporated into the labor reform team, under the unified control and management of Wu De.

This time, prisoners of various nationalities were captured in this battle. There was nothing special about it, and everyone was treated equally to do hard work. However, the Navy proposed to directly recruit and retain two Spaniards - sailing and cable technology of large sailing ships that traveled through time and space.

Little was known, but the two Spaniards knew something about it.

However, a group of nationalists led by Dugu Sui resolutely opposed such preferential treatment: These Spanish scumbags all boarded the ship with the hope of coming to the coast of China to rob and make a fortune. They were out-and-out pirates and did not directly cheat.

Even if it is very lenient to die in Bopu, to still keep him alive is simply an out-and-out admiration for foreigners.

The navy was finally defeated under the banner of nationalism. Even President Wen, who had always favored them, refused to support them. President Wen's reasoning was simple: "This is against the regulations."

Of course, it cannot be said that the two Spaniards did not receive preferential treatment. They were able to form a labor group with the Ah Sans. Although the Ah Sans were not compatriots of the Spaniards, they could at least speak some Spanish and could communicate with each other to avoid being too busy.

Loneliness. As for the Malay pirates, no one cared about their fate. After a simple screening, they were escorted directly to the quarry. The deportation order read: "Work until death."

Tan Ming came out of Bopu Health Center with trembling legs. Last night's experience was a narrow escape for him. Although he jumped from the cover very quickly, when he retreated, enemy shells whizzed behind him and rocks were scattered.

Flying is really exciting, and my head is hit by gravel from time to time. If it weren't for the 80-type steel helmet on my head, I'm afraid my head would have blossomed.

Fortunately, there is only a little scratch...I wonder if I can survive in the future...

I touched the gauze on my head and found that the wound treated with iodine was still throbbing with pain. Damn it, isn't this day the same as before?! No, it's not as good as before!

Tan Ming worked as a security guard, a migrant worker, a guest oil worker, was extremely boring and worked as a power leveler for online games, ran a printing press in a carton factory, and finally sold office furniture. But no matter what kind of work he did, his life was never in danger.

Now he had to fight desperately under artillery fire. He couldn't help but seriously doubt whether he would survive until the day when the revolution would succeed.

He casually dug around and took out a cigarette case from his pocket - as a militiaman, you can be rationed 1 pack of cigarettes every month. This cigarette case is waterproof and pressure-proof. He has always been very careful about his property.

Because of the battle the day before, the Executive Committee notified all combatants to have a day off today.

He squatted at the door and lit up and took a few puffs to soothe his nerves. He was very hungry, but he didn't want to eat at all. The food in the cafeteria was nothing but oily and meatless food, except for fish, shrimp and rice.

, everything is a scarce item. When I was working on a construction site, I could still eat enough pork ribs and chicken legs every day.

The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became. What kind of evil did I get to participate in the time travel? I wandered back to my dormitory. There was a notification letter from the Executive Committee on the bed. I opened it and saw a special supply coupon inside - Tan Ming's mood suddenly rose a lot.

There was also a notice about an additional bonus of 500 points, but this fictitious number did not appeal much to Tan Ming. It was not as affordable as a special coupon.

This kind of special supply coupon is specially used to supply scarce materials. It is usually issued to time travelers who perform dangerous and heavy physical labor. A coupon can be exchanged at the Planning Commission for cigarettes and other things that are not produced in this time and space: such as candy, Coke, etc. class, or exchange it for a bowl of instant noodles in the canteen, with vegetables and an egg added to it.

Along with the coupon was an invitation - made of local paper: inviting him to attend a "celebration and commendation meeting" in a few days.

That's not bad. Tan Ming thought that after all, he still thought of those of us who worked hard and shed blood, and the cadres of the executive committee were not too bastards.

After discussion, the Executive Committee decided to give the following rewards to the participants in the Battle of Bopu:

Award the "Bapu Defense War" armband and shield. The former is awarded to military personnel, and the latter is awarded to non-military personnel who participated in the battle.

The armband of the Battle of Bopu is made of woolen material, with white characters on a red background, 30mm wide, and the word "Bopu" in official script sewn on it, with the year 1628 below. Military personnel who have won this honor can sew the armband on the left side of their uniforms. On the sleeves.

The shield was originally supposed to be made of metal, but the industrial department could not find suitable cheap materials, and finally decided to use the same material. The main body is a shield, with a flat top, and inside the shield is a black ship shadow in the rays of light. Under the light of the ship, under the shadow of the ship is a broken mast, symbolizing the victory of the crossing army over the pirates. At the bottom are the words "Bopu 1628". This shield can be sewn on any official uniform.

Other material rewards are, among others, a special supply coupon will be issued; a bonus point coupon of 200 points will be issued.

Local people are given 25 kilograms of salt coupons and 4 kilograms of rice coupons. The salt coupons can be exchanged for salt at salt shops, and some salt vendors will also buy them, so they are equivalent to a negotiable securities.

Finally, the combat situation of the day will be summarized and meritorious personnel with outstanding performance will be evaluated and awarded.

Wu Mingjin was sitting in the signing room, feeling very depressed.

Three months have passed since these thieves came ashore. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Not only have they not left, they have built bigger and bigger houses, more and more, and even the market has become more and more prosperous.

They had a quarrel with the Gou family about Ma Niao's salt farm. The Gou family was connected to pirates on the outside and the local government on the inside. It was a deep-rooted local tycoon, and the county magistrate could only pretend to be deaf to his evil deeds. He also had a double tiger relationship. Even if they couldn't be beaten away for a while, both sides would suffer. Unexpectedly, the thieves swatted the Gou family like flies, and the Gou family village was wiped out in a few days. Even Gou Er, who was deeply entrenched in the city, fled. .

Fortunately, these foreigners from Australia finally knew the royal laws of the Ming Dynasty. The salt tax, external items, and miscellaneous amounts that should be paid in the Yanchang Village were all paid. This made him somewhat relieved.

However, this group of "Kun people" used the excuse of paying the salt tax that the road into the city was not good, so they built the road to the Wenshui Bridge, and then simply built a two-story tower beside the Wenshui Bridge. Now in the two-story tower

There are people from Kun on guard every day - it is obvious that they are monitoring the dynamics of the county.

Not to mention this, the Kun people are still recruiting troops in the name of holding regiment training. It is said that thousands of people have been recruited. They are equipped with muskets and cannons, and they train there every day. There are also many more ships in Bobu Bay.

, Wu Mingjin knew that he had completely fallen into the sphere of influence of this group of Kun people. Now unless the imperial court sends officers and soldiers to drive them away, how long he can stay in this county depends entirely on how long the other party is willing to let him stay here. Once that happens,

If a fight broke out, Wu Mingjin had no doubt that the shameless government officials in the city would surrender without hesitation.

All the documents sent to the capital to request the suppression fell into the dark. The letter I wrote to Guangdong and asked for activities in Guangzhou in the same year were not completed. However, Dongmen City has become the most prosperous market in the county. Every day, people go to Dongmen City from the main road in front of the county seat.

The flow of people is endless. Food from the whole county is pouring in like a tide, and private salt is pouring out like a tide.

He, a dignified magistrate of the seventh grade, had no choice but to stand on the city tower and watch. The county had neither money nor soldiers, but was trapped in an isolated city.

Recently, he got news that the bandits broke into Baitu Village - he didn't care about breaking up Baitu Village. This village itself is a gathering of refugees from other places. It does not have households, does not pay food, and has nothing to do with the county, but

From this move, he smelled a hint of uneasiness - the tentacles of these thieves were about to extend to all parts of the county.

Sure enough, within a few days, Baojia from each village came secretly to report that the bandits had notified the leading figures from the villages and villages on the east and west sides of the Wenlan River to gather in Bairen City.

Of course Wu Mingjin didn't know what "rural areas surrounded the city" meant, but he still understood the meaning of this move. He quickly sent Wu Ya, Fu Bowen and other county civil and military officials to go around the villages and warn them not to collude with the Kun thieves.

He also vowed to say, "As soon as the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court arrive, the thieves will be reduced to ashes, and those who follow the thieves will never have a good end." He said that some of the village became shaken and frightened again.

While I was thinking about countermeasures, someone suddenly came to report: The thieves have sent someone!

Wu Mingjin felt agitated all over. He sent someone early this morning to find out what was going on with the sound of cannons and the fire in the shop last night. Now that they haven't come back, the thieves came first.

Originally, in order to avoid suspicion, he never personally received the envoys sent by the Kun thieves, and always had his master do it on his behalf. But this time the matter was of great importance, and he had to find out what kind of medicine the Kun thieves were selling in their gourds.

"Master, please come here!" he ordered, "Change your clothes! Go to the hall!"

"Shengtang?" The yamen servant didn't believe his ears. Aren't all the guests in the flower hall? It's not that the case was being prosecuted, so what was Shengtang doing?

"That's right, Shengtang!"

Xiong Buyou led more than ten people into the city as an envoy. The team was led by Wang Ruixiang, fully armed, carrying an engineer ax, and led twelve selected soldiers, all of whom were over 170cm tall and carried rifles. The bayonets were sharp. Finally, there were seven or eight wheelbarrows with packages of items and wooden boxes tied to them.

What kind of county town is this? The small towns in the poorest poverty-stricken counties in our hometown are 100 times more prosperous than this. The only road across the city is finally paved with stone. There are a few shops on both sides of the road, but the houses are very low. It was dilapidated, and the area was pitifully small. As soon as he walked into the city gate, he saw the county government gate in the middle of the city.

The team swaggered into the city. Xiong Buyou held a large envelope in his hand, which contained a letter from the executive committee to Magistrate Wu. People on the street stood beside them, pointing at them, and several A child in tattered clothes suddenly ran up to him and said in a vague but clearly Mandarin accent: "Tang, sugar."

Xiong Buyou was delighted. He didn't expect that the method of making friends between the Executive Committee and the Japanese and American devils would be of some use.

After sprinkling a handful of sugar and going out, the team had already reached the gate of the county government office. No one had knocked the drum on the wall at the gate of the government office for a long time, and a thick layer of dust had fallen on it. There was a drop in the box of the official boots that had been hung there. Official boots covered with dust, the group of people followed the government officials and walked in. Wang Ruixiang said a few words to the soldiers, and at each door, two soldiers were left behind.

Seeing that he was led to the lobby, Xiong Buyou was wondering when he heard the sound of the side door. A middle-aged man in his forties, with a fair face and well-kept clothes, appeared in the lobby wearing official robes. The servants were busy. Shout loudly:

"Master Wu has been promoted to court!"

The drum was knocked three times, and the government officials, holding water and fire sticks, said "Oh--" in agreement and walked in like wild goose wings. Everything became quiet again.
