When he was busy, he could see from afar that a ship was sailing on the sea, and the unique shadow of the ship made the lookout post see at a glance that it was the Type 67 multi-purpose landing craft that crossed the crowd. The ship hadn't moved since it entered the harbor - for fear of fuel.

The saltmen on the beach were panicked, and they threw down their tools and ran to the village—the sea was not at peace these days. Every ship from the sea could be an enemy.

Zhang Xingjiao is well-informed, and took the Tan family father and son at the entrance of the village to appease everyone - this is the boat of those short-haired masters, and it is not in the way.

The traversers were delighted, for the first time in more than two months they had seen their ship on the sea. The importance attached to this task is evident in the fact that the Executive Committee has sent ships that have not been easily used - no one wants to work in a position that is not taken seriously.

Xi Yaya raised his arm: "Let's go, let's go to the beach to meet the navy!" ”

"Navy!" Everyone laughed and felt proud. Aren't they the most advanced navy in this space-time?

At this moment, the landing craft let out a long, impassioned roar. Before the whistle fell, it had emerged from the long line of waves and was heading towards the shore for them.

The people who had no task all walked towards the beach, followed by dozens of curious children and villagers.

The draft of the landing craft was very deep, and it was impossible to get too close, so Xi Yaya turned on the walkie-talkie, and the two sides called, only to learn that in addition to the food, cloth, and weapons that the team had applied for yesterday, the ship had also brought a batch of daily necessities and building materials.

"Find us a berth with a draft of 1.2-1.5 meters, so that we can unload the goods on the beach." Chen Haiyang shouted over the walkie-talkie.

"Okay, you guys wait a minute!"

The western part of Hainan Island is dominated by rocky coastlines, except for the mud and sand alluvial tidal flats in the harbor, small rocky harbors can be said to be everywhere, and soon a small harbor is found not far away, the water surface is very small, barely enough to accommodate two or three fishing boats.

The landing craft drove slowly into the harbor, and the landing craft, which had been refurbished before the crossing, looked beautiful and mighty at this time. A new boom for unloading was installed on board. Each of the two machine gun emplacements in the shipbuilding has a military crew member armed with an SKS rifle, an 80 steel helmet, and an orange life jacket, which looks heroic, and it is very much the meaning of the People's Liberation Army in another time and space - if only each had a machine gun. Xi Yaya thought wildly. Seeing everyone coming to greet them, they smiled and waved to the welcoming crowd on the shore.

The engine motor zuihou roared, took a long breath, and stopped.

The landing craft rushed to the beach and lowered the gangplank, and what got off the boat was a big man with a round face and big eyes, and a tall and strong man. The children who came with him were scared dumb, and the characters with a height of 190CM and a weight of 110KG were simply giants to people at that time. This strong man is Chen Haiyang of the military group, wearing a navy blue training uniform that he brings, and he is in good spirits.

Chen Haiyang walked up to Xi Yaya with four members of the military team, lined up in a horizontal line, and gave a military salute:

"Report, Chen Haiyang, captain of the Navy's Wuzhishan boat, was ordered to escort the arrival of the goods, and now I am at your disposal."

"Organize the unloading immediately!" Xi Yaya returned the salute and smiled at the same time, "Let the crowd see what you have brought them!" ”

"Yes! Organize the unloading immediately. ”

After Xi Yaya shook hands with Chen Haiyang and thanked them, he opened the written document given to him by the Executive Committee, and he smiled while reading it:

"Great! That's great! Really solve the problem. ”

He said to Zhang Xingjiao very excitedly: "Ask Uncle Tan to gather the villagers together and prepare to unload the goods!" ”

As the villagers slowly gathered around, Xi Yaya climbed up the boat tower and stood on a high place, hundreds of eyes staring at him:

"Folks!" Xi Yaya smiled and waved his hand holding the document, "Brought us food and clothing from Bairen City." For the time being, 1,000 catties of rice will be allocated to the village! I don't want any money for this rice, I give it all to everyone! ”

There was a moment of disbelief in silence, followed by cheers. Zhang Xingjiao had already summoned some young people through the Tan family's father and son last night and taught them to cheer according to the code. Some of the elderly and women wept as they looked at the boatloads of grain and rice, and their voices grew low, which was replaced by tears of gratitude from the crowd.

Xi Ya continued in the voice that had just quieted down, and said, "There are fifty pieces of cloth, all for everyone to use to make clothes, and the women of the village will have to help!" However, there is not enough fabric, and the clothes that are made may only be one per family, but there will be more to come—"

Before Zhang Xingjiao's translator's words fell, there was another cheer in the crowd.

"Folks!" Xi Yaya packed the paperwork, "Our life depends on labor, not on relief alone. Now Bairen City needs a lot of sea salt. Everyone put their own effort into production. How much sea salt you have, how much you want! ”

"We have to have strength, salt, as much as we want!" Under the leadership of the Tan family's father and son and several people around them, the crowd was instigated.

Zhang Xingjiao saw that the atmosphere was very warm, and quickly stood up according to the arrangement of the head of the table: "Folks! Zhang Xingjiao, a contemptible person, is also a local aborigine, and has studied for several years. In the past, he was robbed of real estate and fields by Gou Dahu, and Zuihou even dug up his ancestral grave, and he couldn't live anymore ...... bullying" He said to the painful point, and kept wiping his eyes with his sleeves, and the people below also followed suit, "Gou Dahu has ruined my family, and everyone has no clothes and no food," he wiped his eyes and shouted in a hoarse throat, "The short-haired old man is here, give us food and clothing, help us produce, whoever wants to come again is wordy, who wants to come again to take advantage of us-"

"Needless to say!" The young people roared angrily, "Gou Dahu, this bastard is back and smash his dog's head!" ”

The old people looked a little scared, but now that the atmosphere had been stirred up, they didn't dare to come out openly and say anything discouraged.

"That's right!" Xi Yaya shouted excitedly, "This salt farm is a salt farm approved by the imperial court, and it is a place where everyone's ancestors made a load of water and a spoonful of salt. Why did he make a fortune? We must protect salt, grain and rice, protect our homeland, and protect the fruits of our labor! ”

The mood of the masses was extremely excited. Du Wen, who was standing on the side, smiled excitedly at first, and then frowned. In this speech, Xi Yaya left a little foreshadowing, and did not say anything like the salt works of the people, according to the idea of the Executive Committee, this salt works will be the property of the people in the future.

Amid the shouting of the crowd, Xi Yaya walked down the building of the landing craft with satisfaction. Bundles of weapons have been unloaded to the ground. These were all weapons captured in the Battle of Bairentan. It is now renovated.

In addition to food and cloth, the landing craft also brought red bricks, cement, and some simple tables, chairs and benches newly produced by the Bopu Wood Processing Factory -- because the personnel of the mechanical team had nothing to do for the time being, they made use of the wood processing equipment of the wood processing plant to make some modern styles of furniture for everyone to use.

The team's camp was also renovated, with building materials, and under the guidance of the professionals of the construction team who came with the ship, everyone worked together to complete a turret-like structure. There are also a few comfortable tiled houses in the surrounding area. The 15W radio station was also brought with the addition of a new antenna tower. Outside the wall, Xi Yaya asked the building team to build a photo wall as a propaganda board

On the same day, under the chairmanship of Xi Yaya, a villagers' committee was set up, with a production team and a militia team under it. At Du Wen's suggestion, a women's group was also set up -- the rural women in Hainan all worked in the fields, and they were known for their heavy work, so there was not much market for men and women's rituals and religions.

The militia team was led by Tan Chengqing, and Zhang Xingjiao wrote a letter to the county, to the effect that because the village was repeatedly harassed by pirates, a township was established to protect the township. This kind of legal process still needs to be there.

The militia consisted of sixty young men, and the salt people were more or less able to fight and kick their guns, and after they were given weapons, everyone was very energetic, and they found time in the early morning and late afternoon to coach. The knives and guns are flying, so it's not lively. Xi Yaya watched from the sidelines, but felt that although these things were a bit powerful when they fought alone, they might not be able to fight hand-to-hand combat. Xi Yaya saw Huangjiazhai Xiangyong's attack when he was fighting at Bairentan: the momentum was fierce and very orderly. If such a contingent were to fight, the militia, which had no organization or discipline, would probably collapse at the touch of a button.

Xi Yaya has a set of experiences in the education of recruits, but these militiamen use big swords and spears, and he has no idea whether the education of recruits in the era of firearms is suitable or not.

"It would be nice if we could equip them with firearms!" Xi Ya watched their drill and returned to the command post. Chen Haiyang's men remained in the camp -- they were waiting for the salt farmers to gather 30 tons of salt, and when the salt was ready, they would cross the sea with Tan Guihuang to Leizhou and open up the sales channels for salt.

"I won't be able to take out the firearm for a while," Chen Haiyang thought for a moment, "You can practice the queue and physical fitness first." These two pieces are useful in the army of any era. ”

"Politically, we must first be reliable, and only militarily can we be strong!" Du Wen didn't know where she suddenly appeared, she was now devoted to organizing the women's group, and she was with Tan Xiaoqin every day, learning the local dialect, "Our organization is still floating on the surface." ”

These words made the people present a sign. It is true that the enthusiasm of the salt people has been stirred up now, but they are not politically reliable at this time, and it is only the trend of the times that they have become allies of the traversers. There are still a few question marks over the firmness of the position.

Xi Ya thought for a moment and said, "The first thing to do now is to establish an organization. The village committee and the militia have been established, but they have not yet taken root in the salt farm, and it is necessary to cultivate activists among the salt people and develop a group of people who share weal and woe. In this way, it can be regarded as taking root in the salt field. It is necessary to promote cadres from among the salt people one after another. ”

Everyone agrees with Xi Asia's view. Du Wen said: "I want to set up a training class -- let's call it the Mayuan Peasant Training Center." Train some salt people and cultivate the backbone liliang, and I will give the lecture. What do you think? ”

This insight is exactly the same as Wang Luobin's idea. However, Xi Yaya didn't want Du Wen to lecture on political theory. He said: "Okay, the name of the training center is good, and it just so happens that Wang Gong also has the idea of holding a jishu training class, so you can do this together." Let's start with literacy and learning to speak Mandarin! We all have to devote part of our time to lectures. ”
