957 Armed trade labor

So Wei Hong immediately turned around and ran to the wall cabinet on the side of the conference room, pulled out one of the drawers with a hidden compartment, took out a "Xinhua Dictionary" from it and handed it to Xiao Pingguo, and then the brothers began to gather around and translate the message word by word.

Soon, the text was written in the blank line of the telegram - this is a telegram from the Yi Wuxuan, and the telegram is sent by Zhu Beiguo.

"Brother Zhu will make a move, there must be a big move! Hehe......"

Wei Hong, who had just translated a part, suddenly laughed.

At this time, many participants in the conference room gathered around, and a cautious person like Hou Xianglin also took out the "Xinhua Dictionary" he carried with him from his arms, and divided a page of manuscript paper from Xiao Pingguo's hand to participate in the translation.

After a while, Xiao Pingguo finally finished translating the last word of the message, and then stood up and said to everyone with a solemn face:

"Ladies and gentlemen, Brother Zhu's suggestion is very important and important, and I hope you will seriously discuss and discuss ......."

At this time, everyone has basically understood the content of the message, and at this moment, the reason why everyone is quiet is because Zhu Beiguo's suggestion is indeed very important, at this time, Xiao Pingguo pondered for a while, and then said word by word:

"We ...... Is it possible to arm the labor force of the naturalization camp? ”

It turned out that Zhu Beiguo's suggestion was:

"Let the trade laborers of the Naturalized Battalion and the Naturalized Village join the garrison of Sin'anseong, arm them and lead them into military operations."

Obviously, when Zhu Beiguo made this suggestion, he also knew that the brothers in Xin'an City had concerns - after all, these laborers were bought, and in essence, they were no different from the slaves who worked collectively in this era, but these "trade laborers" had a labor period and good labor treatment on weekdays.

However, the reasons mentioned by Zhu Beiguo in the telegram are a little exciting:

Zhu Beiguo believes that it is necessary to learn from the experience of the ancients, when the Shang Dynasty changed the law, and the title was counted by the head, of course we don't need to count the number of people to count the military merits, but if you announce to the strong men in the naturalization camp that this attack by the natives is a good opportunity for everyone to make a fortune, and the trade labor force who participated in the city defense war can not only get a reward, but also use military merit to offset the labor time, how many volunteers do you think can be recruited? Anyway, I think it's going to be a lot.

Speaking of weapons, Zhu Beiguo reminded his brothers that they should not only use those weapons that are called ordnance as weapons, but also the labor tools in the hands of the trade labor force of the naturalization battalion - shovels, wooden pickaxes, hoes and sickles are very effective and powerful combat weapons.

Therefore, for the sake of the future of Xin'an City, in order to expand the number of our supporters, we should show a little courage and boldly arm the labor force in the naturalization camp, Zhu Beiguo also said, on weekdays, we treat these labor force is not thin, and the group of people who are well fed and drunk are very strong, I believe that these people will not suffer even if they take a hoe and fight with the group of natives with an average height of about 1.5 meters! So, don't be frightened by the number of the other side, although there are many of them, but they are all some rabble, they fight by the courage of the group, rely on the leadership of the leader, once you block the first wave of the enemy's attack, or kill the leader who led the charge, the enemy's morale will quickly collapse, and eventually the tree will fall and scatter......

Everyone discussed Zhu Beiguo's telegram until the evening, and then received a telegram from the Red Mansion, in which Sun Lao clearly informed Xin'ancheng:

We have already received Zhu Beiguo's telegram, and the Senate has already discussed it in the afternoon, and our opinion is: We agree with Zhu Beiguo's opinion, but we are thousands of miles away, and whether or not to accept Zhu's opinion must be decided according to your own actual situation; after all, this battle is fought by you, and the people are in charge of it, and it is of little significance for us to say more or less, and all arrangements related to the war must be based on your actual situation.

Sun Lao also said that the armed trade labor force must require you to make all kinds of commitments, and the senators in the family decided after discussion to give you power, and you can make any promises you think are reasonable according to the actual situation, and the family will admit it.

Also, the family is hurrying up to produce weapons and ammunition for you, even if it is only a few days, a little more is a little more, and the Yi Wuxuan will try to shorten the docking time at the Red Pier and arrive at you earlier.

At the end of the telegram, Mr. Sun also said, "Is there any truth to the reasons why Zhu's telegram can arm the naturalization battalion?" I think it's very reasonable, because I have personally communicated with these trade laborers, whether it is in the duchess's manor, or at the construction site, I think our Australians have a very good reputation in the naturalization camp and naturalization village, and the good causes we plant on weekdays will naturally bear good results, please believe in people's hearts and believe in human nature.

Then, Nicole's telegram also arrived, Gu Jin said that Zhu Beiguo's proposal that all the senators on the Nicole met this afternoon to discuss was very feasible, and Gu Jin also suggested that if time permitted, Zhu Xu and the others could go directly to Xin'an City to help in the war after they got on the new ship......

Then there were telegrams from Wanshan Island and Zixia Island in Macao, Dai Huang Xiaoai and others supported Zhu Beiguo's proposal and thought it was very feasible, while Ren Ke directly proposed: If time permits, I hope that Nicole can bring the Zixia Island garrison to Xin'an City by the way, and we hope to fight side by side with our partners in Xin'an City......

That night, the lights in the conference room on the second floor of the Sinanseong Governor's Palace were on until the early hours of the morning, and the exchange of telegrams between the Red Mansion, Sin'anseong, and the Nicole did not stop until the early hours of the morning.

Early the next morning, everyone began a new round of intense preparations according to the plan discussed last night, and that morning, the trade laborers, who had just finished breakfast, unexpectedly found that the clerks who had led them and them to their respective posts did not appear, and in their place were groups of vigilante soldiers, and after a while, the familiar handsome and dashing young governor appeared in the open space in the center of the naturalization camp, and it was found that a wooden platform had been erected there at some point, and then, The leaders of the labor team informed everyone that something important had been announced this morning, and then marched to the meeting hall with ten of their men.

The labor team leader is the most basic manager of the labor force in the naturalized camp, although they are also trade laborers, but they have a variety of senior resumes with them, and of course, they also enjoy different treatment from newcomers.

Xiao Pingguo was very familiar with the 2,000 trade laborers of the 1st Naturalization Battalion in the Eastern District, and the men in the Naturalization Camp were also familiar with the Governor, who often led them around to work, and more recently various reinforcement works on the wooden walls.

After more than 2,100 people sat on the ground, He Sizhi stood on the wooden platform and announced loudly in Chinese, there is an important thing to announce today, and then turned around and helped Xiao Pingguo to board the wooden platform, Xiao said a word, He announced it loudly, and from time to time it would be added in Turkish or even Portuguese, obviously this was a more detailed explanation, the two stood on the platform and said for half a morning, Xiao Pingguo finally finished what he was going to say.
