The 181st Festival Celebration Commendation Conference
Chapter 181 Celebration and Commendation Conference
Someone said: "Zhang Dahu, your family doesn't have many daughters, but you have the most daughters. Why don't you marry a few short-haired men? This father-in-law has done a good job!"
Zhang Dahu was none other than Zhang Youfu, who was considered to be the representative of Guodu in the county. At this time, he drank a few more glasses. This wine was sent from Guangzhou and was called "Guo Shi Wushuang". It was very mellow and not as easy to get sick as local roasted wine. Zhang Youfu was already
After drinking too much, he felt dizzy and said with a smile: "That's true. No matter how many daughters I have, I can't marry into such a weak family -"
"How do you say it has no foundation? This family's industry will probably be the first in Lingao in the future." A landowner shook his head and sighed, "Let's just talk about this ice lion. I have never seen it in Lingao.
!I really don’t know where they get the ice. Even in Guangzhou, only the first-class people can get it!”
"It was said that it was shipped from Bopu, so I was confused. Can ice be fished out from the sea?"
"Maybe it's their sorcery that's responsible for it." Someone whispered, "These short-haired people are very evil. Those automatic cars and iron oxen, let alone the iron boats, there are no sails or oars...
…How can it be activated without the power of ghosts and gods?”
"But I've never seen them do this in a forum!"
"Can I let you know about this? Maybe there are boys and girls in it——"
"Boys and girls? The county has not heard of any missing boys or girls."
"Then why are they transporting children from the mainland boat after boat? Are they raising maids and servants? Do they need a lot of them?"
"A thief, a maid, and a boy can cost thousands each. You are a boy and a girl. I think you are crazy because you are burning pills and want to be a god."
"Fairy? I think this short-haired guy is almost like a god in his days!"
"That's right, but coming here is really a life worth living!" A landowner looked up at the chandelier on the ceiling, stared at it for a long time before sighing, "I have seen so many unfamiliar things, and I have eaten so much.
What I’ve eaten—I’ll have to bring my wife and children to see it in the future.”
Although the atmosphere in the banquet hall was warm and the two parties seemed to be intimate, in fact, the situation inside and outside the business building was tight: the army, political security department and police were all on alert, ready to deal with possible situations at any time.
Compared with the pampered conference delegates, the security department is more worried about their entourage - most of these more than 400 people are young and strong, and it will be a big trouble if they get messed up. In order to prevent their activities in Dongmen City from causing trouble
Due to the situation, all these people were gathered together in the name of entertainment in the evening, and each person was given a box lunch, but there was no wine. Inside was a plainclothes team led by Zhou Shizhai, who was mixed in the crowd and kept an eye on their movements.
"Everyone, stay calm!" Dugu proposed, wearing a black anti-stab suit, and said in a low voice. Surrounding him were the emergency teams composed of the Dongmen City Police Station and the Bairen Commune militia, all of whom were
Wearing a rattan helmet and rattan vest, holding a stick and shield, he is ready to suppress at any time.
"I said, is it necessary to face the enemy like this?" Dongmen Chuiyu felt that it was too much. There was an army infantry company and six 12-pound mountain howitzers on standby in the camp outside Dongmen City, all of which were fully loaded.
ammunition.
Fang Jinghan sneered and said: "Huh, if these hundreds of natives make a fuss, can we suppress it? This is the heart of the country." He was seconded from the remote exploration team to join the emergency team - because he knows many dialects
, it is convenient to shout out what happened.
The dinner for the two groups inside and outside finally ended harmoniously. The attendants who were squatting in the open space outside eating box lunches naturally did not know that there were hundreds of people watching eagerly and ready to deal with their group at any time. They all felt that the short-haired people entertained them very well.
Then on the afternoon of the next day, a meeting was held at the newly completed Bairen Stadium to celebrate the defeat of Liu Xiang's gangsters. Originally, the executive committee had long wanted to do it. The original plan was just to hold a small-scale ceremony to award the combatants.
That was all for the prizes and medals. But the convening of the Political Consultative Conference made them change their minds. The purpose of holding the exchange meeting with the leading figures in each village was to expand their influence to the surrounding areas and take advantage of this opportunity to defeat the pirates. These people on the ground should be given
The leading figures took a look at the powerful strength and unique mental outlook of the crossing party. They decided to have a two-in-one. Not only would they hold a consultation meeting, but they would also hold a celebration party and a military parade.
It is for this purpose that the construction of the large stadium is rushed as fast as possible. In fact, the construction volume of the stadium so far is only just over one-half. Although a considerable part is still unfinished, the main facilities have been completed. According to this time and space,
The standards seem ambitious enough.
A temporary wooden terrace was erected in the stadium and the stands were filled with delegates. Even their entourages were allowed to enter and sit in the stands slightly away from the rostrum. Wu Degei Bairen Commune and the labor team also had a day off.
, organized everyone to watch the ceremony. There was no room in the stands, so there were many people standing behind the lime line. Adults, children, and women were all very lively. Representatives from each village looked curiously at the tall stone building that had not been seen in the front (actually it was covered with stone outside)
) and a large, grass-free, compacted open space at their feet - vertical and horizontal dividing lines were drawn with lime powder. Many mounds and wooden stakes were erected in the open space by the river, and everyone was guessing what the shorthairs were going to do.
.
The entire viewing platform is filled with colorful flags fluttering in the breeze, the same kind of colorful nylon flags that would fly everywhere during festivals in another time and space. Around the viewing platform, there are soldiers wearing 1st year-style military uniforms, fully armed, and with bayonets.
The sentry stood erect.
The time-travelers in the stands had a different mood. The army officers and soldiers wearing gray octagonal hats, gray military uniforms, and leggings could not help but remind people of the undefeated myth of the army that grew from weak to strong in another time and space.
Although I understand that it is impossible to copy the same army, I still use it as a benchmark in my heart to measure the army in front of me that was created and armed by the people who traveled through time and is completely their own.
It was called a celebration meeting, but it was actually a general meeting to demonstrate to the county and surrounding gentry. It started under the warm winter sun in Hainan.
The sound of the loudspeaker gave the villagers and gentlemen their first surprise. When Wen Desi loudly announced in his out-of-tune Lingao accent Mandarin that the Commendation Ceremony for the Battle of Bopu and the Celebration Ceremony for the Founding of the Bairen Security Group were about to begin,
The villagers and elders looked up in surprise. The speaker was obviously standing on the stage, but why did the sound come from the high poles on all sides? It also made the eardrums hurt and buzzed. This kind of roughness
The effect is completely different from that in a cinema where the speakers are placed on both sides of the podium.
First of all, the members of Chuanchuan who made contributions in the Battle of Bopu were commended, and 75 navy, army and military personnel including Lin Shenhe, Bai Yu, Mond, and Wang Ruixiang were awarded the "Bopu Defense War" armband.
They have the right to sew this armband on their uniforms to reflect their combat honors.
One hundred and ten non-military personnel including Dugu Sui, Tan Ming, Qian Shuixie and others were awarded the "Bu Pu Defense War" shield, which can be sewn on any official uniform.
Subsequently, it was announced that all army and navy soldiers and laborers who participated in the Battle of Bopu would be collectively awarded the "Battle of Bopu" commemorative medals and an additional month of military pay. At the same time, 35 soldiers and laborers who were particularly outstanding in the battle would be awarded.
They were awarded the second-level and third-level military merit medals respectively, and received two months and one month more military pay respectively.
In addition to being buried in the "Cuigang Martyrs Cemetery" with military rites, all army and navy soldiers and workers who died in battle will also receive pensions from their families. The direct family members of the fallen personnel will each receive a circulation coupon of 500 yuan per year:
All children will be admitted to the "Chung Si School", and all food, accommodation and clothing expenses will be borne by the Executive Committee. The parents of those who died in the battle will be responsible for the funeral arrangements after their death by the Democratic Front Committee.
This level of pension can be said to be unprecedented. Not only the representatives at the meeting were dumbfounded, but also the soldiers, commune members and workers found it unbelievable. Generally, whether officers, soldiers, local braves, or even pirates and bandits, after a person is killed in a war, they must provide pensions to the families of their fallen brothers.
, it’s nothing more than giving money to sell shaohua, at most the difference is more or less. But this is the first time I’ve heard of such meticulous care for the bereaved.
"One person's death is worth so much money!" Everyone in Lingao County gasped when Wen Desi said it loudly and it was translated into various dialects. This was really unheard of, even those who had read some books.
People only know the story of soldiers marching forward bravely through a last-ditch battle and threatening death, and they understand that there must be brave men under heavy rewards - but these are all for living people, and dead soldiers are of no use to them at all.
It's useless. Giving some pension to the family is already a great grace. No one has ever been willing to spend so much money to buy the life of a soldier.
At this point, everyone in Lingao County began to realize that the army there must be very different from the army of the Ming Dynasty and the bandits - the lives of their soldiers were very valuable!
"This is probably nonsense. It deceives those ignorant people to work for them." Huang Hankun continued his propaganda. To be honest, he didn't really believe it himself - if the Australians fought like this, their court would have gone bankrupt long ago.
, unless Australia is full of gold and silver.
"I said it in public, An Neng said it casually." Huang Hankun didn't recognize the person who said this. He looked like a poor scholar, but he definitely didn't go to school. He was a scholar who had gone to school, so naturally he was interested in it.
This kind of scholar without fame is looked down upon. Just as he was about to taunt him, a representative who looked like a small landowner interrupted:
"I don't think it's just a casual comment. There are still more honest people in Shorthair." He said that he went to the mill here in Lingao to grind grain. Every time it was ground, Shorthair separated the brown rice, chaff and chaff.
After filling the bags, he weighed them one by one for inspection, and then collected the money according to the price. “There has never been any forgery in it.” He praised, “Based on this alone, I think what they say is credible!
