Chapter 485: Crossing the River
Three hours later, it was getting late, but in order to gain time, the recruitment continued.
"How many miners, how many priest apprentices, and how many people are there in total?" Yi Xingchen asked Yan En about the total number of people, wondering how many people he had sent to the Xinghua Kingdom in another world. In this matter, he handed over Yan Enlai to be in charge of the overall planning.
Yan En took out a notebook, looked at it, and then said to Yi Xingchen: "Your Majesty, we have recruited a total of six hundred and seventy qualified miners, fifty priest apprentices, plus the families of these miners and priest apprentices, our country has recruited a total of 1,567 immigrants, and sent 1,510 people over. β
Yi Xingchen looked at the refugees everywhere in this refugee camp, and couldn't help but sigh when he heard this number. Although there are no less than 50,000 people in this refugee camp, Yi Xingchen also wants to recruit a few more to help these people as much as possible, but after a round of selection, there are not many people who meet the conditions of miners, and many people's physical fitness is even completely unqualified.
Just think about it, this situation is normal, just ask, what healthy and strong young man would be willing to stay in this precarious refugee camp? As long as there is a little way to survive in the rich khanate, such as carrying a gun and becoming a soldier, they have already flocked to it. Therefore, most of the refugees who did not go to the army to carry guns are people who are tired of their families, or people who are somewhat troubled by their own health.
"Do what we can and give them a chance. Yi Xingchen thought about it, and said the same sentence.
Yan En was silent and looked at the refugees around her. The sun is going down, and there are still many refugees who don't get the chance to be interviewed, so. They're basically staying put. Refusing to leave. Hoping that it would be their turn in the next second. It's just that for these refugees, the Xinghua Empire does not have enough space to accommodate them all, so it is destined to have regrets.
"Your Majesty, I just got the news. The government of the city of Hatta has learned that our company is recruiting miners in the camp and has sent a force to rush here. Preparing to shut down our company. Ben Jeff walked over and reported.
Through his performance, Ben Jeff won the approval of the Xinghua people in the refugee camp, so he was appointed by Yi Xingchen as a temporary captain, and was ordered to organize a group of more than 20 miners to monitor the movements of the government of the rich khanate on the outskirts of the refugee camp.
Ben Jeff called Yi Xingchen His Majesty, not because in this short period of time, he already knew the existence of the space channel and the details of Yi Xingchen, but just imitated Yan En and others to call Yi Xingchen. Albeit at first. Ben Jeff did have some doubts about the title of His Majesty. But he didn't reject it at all, but because of this, he felt that Yi Xingchen's identity was blurred, and he was more deferential to Yi Xingchen, and gradually, he became accustomed to it.
"Ban it, what is the reason for this?" Yi Xingchen was speechless, and he was really helpless for a while. The forest is big, and there are really all kinds of birds. This ban or something, it must be a random excuse.
However, Yi Xingchen thought about it, but he was relieved, anyway, the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, and he wouldn't pay attention to anyone who was thinking. Therefore, Yi Xingchen immediately asked again, "When will they be able to come to us?"
"It is expected that we will arrive at the refugee camp in half an hour. Ben Jeff asked, "Your Majesty, shall we stop it?"
"No, you don't. Hurry up, and after half an hour, we'll leave early. Yi Xingchen sighed and shook his head at Ben Jeff, saying that there was no need to conflict with the government over this trivial matter.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Ben Jeff seemed to understand Yi Xingchen's intentions, bowed respectfully, and then said.
"You ask if there is any need for arms in the camps? We can provide a batch of semi-automatic rifles, ammunition and grenades. Yi Xingchen thought for a while and said. He wanted to leave some trouble for the city of Hada in the rich khanate.
Ben Jeff was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down to stop him, and said in horror: "Your Majesty, no, please think twice." β
"Why?" Ben Jeff's reaction was so loud that Yi Xingchen couldn't help but be a little surprised, and immediately opened his mouth to ask why.
"If you leave the arms in the refugee camp, the refugee camp will cease to exist!" Ben Jeff looked at Yi Xingchen firmly, his words were short, but not simple.
Ben Jeff's words mean a lot. In fact, the reason why the Hada city government is able to tolerate the existence of the refugee camp is precisely because the people in this refugee camp are indeed just ordinary people who have lost their homes and have no support, and before they become refugees, they are harmless to the society, the country, and the people in powerγ
However, even ordinary people, who have nothing to do with a gun to defend themselves, have already become a person with the ability to attack, not to mention, if it is these refugees in refugee camps, refugees who have been disappointed in their lives, once they have a gun, it will definitely become a thorn in the heart of the senior managers of the Hada City Government!
If they have offensive weapons, one day, they think of using this means to find a way out for themselves, and it is difficult to predict how much impact it will have on society and the government.
What's more, it is also unknown whether international aid organizations will continue to help these refugees as they have always been, after all, helping a group of refugees with guns would be ridiculous and dangerous for anyone.
Yi Xingchen thought for a while, and quickly understood that what Ben Jeff said was true, and immediately gave up this idea, and said decisively: "You inform the rest of the people to gather here in twenty minutes, and the action must be fast, and we must ensure that after half an hour, we will all leave here." β
Soon after Ben Jeff was ordered to leave to pass the order, Yi Xingchen then asked Yan En to convey an order to the two groups of people, demanding that the testing and recruitment be ended as soon as possible, and the relevant organization personnel must be ready to leave immediately.
The remaining refugees in the Hada refugee camp. I saw that it was getting late. But it's not my turn to go for an interview yet. has begun to show restlessness, and now that he heard that Huaguo Company was leaving, he suddenly couldn't settle down.
Seeing that the scene was gradually starting to show some signs of getting out of control, Yan En and the other guards immediately held the hilt of their swords and quickly surrounded Yi Xingchen to protect him, while glaring around to warn those refugees who were about to move. They exude a powerful momentum. It immediately shocked the nearby refugees, so that for a while, no one dared to act rashly.
After a while, Ben Jeff and the others all came back, and Yi Xingchen also happened to gather the last batch of people recruited. After seeing that the people were almost assembled, Yi Xingchen asked Sheen and Mihach to send all the refugees they recruited back to Xinghua Kingdom together, and in addition, only thirty palace guards were left. Keep yourself safe.
In the refugee camp, no one dared to stay. Moreover, they left the tents without hesitation and left on their own. When the refugees finally found that there was no one in the tents, they rushed up like wild horses on the loose, and all of them rushed to the tents to rob them of their belongings......
By this time, the sky had completely darkened, and only a few areas of the camp were lit by fire, while most of the places were dark. In order to leave before the government people arrived, Yi Xingchen and the others ignored the refugees looting the contents of the tent, but as long as anyone stood in front of them, they did not hesitate to fly.
After walking quickly for a while, Yi Xingchen and the others finally entered Hada City smoothly.
The city of Hatta is obviously more liberal than Camilla, there is no curfew, and there are more pedestrians on the road. After entering the urban area, Yi Xingchen and his group began to deliberately walk on the street separately, so they did not attract anyone's attention.
Of course, although there was no curfew, the rich khanate was in the midst of civil strife, so most of the shops on the streets were closed before dark to avoid getting into trouble if they were still open after dark, and only a few restaurants were still open with the lights on.
Yi Xingchen didn't plan to continue to stay in Hada City, he wanted to leave Hada City and go to Sara Country to avoid trouble.
Not long after entering the city, Yi Xingchen opened the light gate of the space passage in a dark uninhabited alley, and then removed some of the palace guards, leaving only four palace guards such as Yu Yanen and Song En, who were responsible for protecting his safety. There are fewer people, and it is more convenient to travel through the city.
Yi Xingchen and the five of them left the uninhabited alley, and then, they stopped an ordinary car on the road, and then, with a pistol, used 10,000 US dollars to forcibly buy the unlucky car that was intercepted.
When the owner saw Yi Xingchen holding a gun, he automatically did not dare to resist, took 10,000 US dollars, and quickly fled. In the urban area, Yi Xingchen and they can't show their fast skills, so driving a car is the fastest means of transportation.
Yi Xingchen's goal is not the national border bridge between the rich khanate and the Sara country, but the Saf River under the national border bridge. After Yi Xingchen let the car drive to the river of the Safu River, he found a place where no one paid attention to it, and abandoned the car directly.
The reason why Yi Xingchen did this was because, after careful consideration, he decided not to break through the border. Breaking through, after all, you have to face the border soldiers of the two countries, their weapons are not long-sighted, and Yi Xingchen still doesn't want to sacrifice his soldiers at will. Since there is a river separating the Sara and the rich khanate, find a way to cross the river.
When Yi Xingchen was in the refugee camp, he had already collected some data on the Saaf River. For example, the depth, width, and velocity of the Saaf River. The River Safu was very wide and deep, and Yi Xingchen couldn't jump over it on his own. You can't swim over, and the darkness doesn't know what's going on in the river, so you have to try to find a suitable way to cross the river.
However, Yi Xingchen is not out of the question.
The Saaf River is wider, the current is not rapid, and the overall situation is relatively stable. Therefore, Yi Xingchen thought that since he couldn't jump over and swim over, he would find a boat and row over.
For the refugees of the rich khanate, it was a difficult thing to find a boat, but for Yi Xingchen, it was a very simple matter. Because behind Yi Xingchen, there is an empire, a city, and a group of citizens, and it is not difficult to find a few boatmen who can build wooden boats and row boats.
In order to cross the river, Yi Xingchen had already ordered the Xinghua Imperial Cabinet to find a suitable person and start construction quickly to help him solve the matter of the wooden boat.
The cabinet of the Xinghua Empire, after receiving Yi Xingchen's order, immediately organized carpenters and shipwrights in the shortest possible time to build a canoe. Because of the abundant manpower and the rapid rush of work, in addition, the forest in the east of Xinghua City grew very densely, and huge timber was everywhere, so a few big trees were cut down at will, and through the efforts of carpenters and boatmen, the three canoes were completed in less than half a day.
First of all, Yan En and the four of them were on guard to confirm that there was no one around the river. Then, Yi Xingchen opened the space passage again, entered the space, and instructed the palace guards inside to move over two canoes and leave one canoe for backup.
At the same time, two shipwrights from the Xinghua Empire were also sent over.
With the help of Yan En and other guards, try the canoe first and make sure that the canoe can be used.
"We were in two canoes. Yi Xingchen said.
Yan En and the other four had no objection, and Yi Xingchen, Yan En and the boatman took a canoe. Song Eun and three other guards and another boatman took another canoe.
Yi Xingchen chose two canoes because he was cautious about supporting each other and was prepared.
Because the forests east of Xinghua City are mostly giant trees that are hundreds of years old, the canoe of the Xinghua Empire is far larger than the canoe of Blue Mercury. Therefore, the canoe of the Xinghua Empire entered the water smoothly.
Not long after, Yi Xingchen and the others got on board. Under the control of the boatmen, the canoe drifted smoothly.
In less than 20 minutes, the canoe approached the shore and was still more than 10 meters away. As long as Yi Xingchen and the others get off the ship, they can be regarded as stepping on the land of Sara Country.
However, Yi Xingchen did not feel relaxed at all.
Yi Xingchen, who was engrossed, felt that there was a group of people on the shore of the Sara country. He wasn't sure if the people on the shore would be hostile to them.
Yi Xingchen told Yan En about his discovery.
When Yan En heard this, he beckoned Song En on another canoe, and the four of them quietly dived into the river and went ashore one step ahead.
As the chief of the palace guard, Yan En wants to be the emperor and be aware of hidden dangers.
In the dark night, although Yi Xingchen couldn't see Yan En's figure clearly, he could feel their landing......
The canoe docked, Yi Xingchen got off the boat, and Yan Enlai reported to Yi Xingchen that they had controlled the people on the shore. The people on the shore were a small patrol of the Sara Country, who ate barbecue on the shore. (To be continued.) )
