That is the basic background of the current situation.

Immediately after that, the full text of the telegram transferred the two handwritten letters from Leizhou, the contents of which were written by the Liang family and Chen Shangchuan.

The letter from Leung's family reads as follows:

"Liang greets the god doctor and worships Mr. Sun, the commander of Australia, today's son Xi hunting, Jin Wang Nan escaped, Tatar Qing is powerful, Gao Lei Lianqin states are almost not guaranteed, there are more than 30,000 military and civilian women and children, do not want to be the slave of the Tatar Qing, gather on the coast and wander without a plan, or there are those who say that the Mo family in the west, and there are also those who are lucky to say that the Tartars will not be slaughtered, and the rest is a remote place in the small state of Annan, and the others will not be tolerated by him, if he accepts it, he is also a slave and a servant, what is the difference between it and the Tatar Qing?

Yu told everyone that there are Nanyang Australia, is the state of China, all the soldiers and civilians who go to take refuge, Australians are provided with food and field houses, although far away from the South Seas, can live in peace, there is no doubt that there is an Australian miracle medicine to extinguish its plague, are the Australians are also given, if you are willing to make the trip, the Australians will not live up to you.

Later, General Chen Shangchuan's subordinates also testified, saying that if they did not want to be tenant slaves with the Tartars, they could vote for it, saying that the Australians had strong ships and guns, and that there were miracle medicines and delicacies in the world, and sometimes there were relatives and family members who reclaimed the islands of the Australians and went back and forth to do business, all said that the Australians lived in strange goods, sold the sea, and made huge profits.

So a group of village owners and patriarchs approached me, saying that if they can sail to Australia, they are willing to return to Australia, but I don't know if Australians are willing to accept it, and if they are willing to accept it, when will it be feasible......"

In Chen Shangchuan's letter, in addition to confirming the above content, he also wrote:

“…… Knowing that there are orphans and widows in Australia, Australia also does not hesitate to take them in with gold and silver, which is really a great kindness.

Today's Tartar plague China, China has the difficulty of extinction, when the country is in danger, if you can borrow the boat to the South Seas, save my Chinese Miao descendants, so that they can multiply, this tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians are fortunate, Yu knows that the Song Dynasty is my Huaxia Yashan, has never descended barbarians, and now there are compatriots who are also in the same situation as the year, Yu tolerance guarantees, this everyone is willing to be a vassal of the Australian Song Dynasty, and will never betray ......."

……

Dai Xiaoshan said at the end of the telegram: In a word, there are nearly 30,000 soldiers and civilians on the Leizhou Peninsula who want to take refuge with us, and according to the current situation, if we cannot transfer these people out within two months, or at the latest within three months, these people will be scattered all over the country, and they may even be captured by the Qing army and become tenant slaves.

Several people in the conference room were a little excited after reading the telegram, and they said that if this is the case, the situation of our labor force will be greatly eased.

Next, Xia Yuhan and the three of them immediately keenly thought about how many children should be among the 30,000 soldiers and civilians, how many orphans should be there---- according to past experience, according to the normal ratio, the number of minors should not be less than 2,000, it was a troubled time, obviously the proportion of orphans must be relatively high, and the normal estimate will not be less than 500 people......

The more they discussed, the more excited they became, at this time, Lao Ba turned on the synchronous intercom button on the table again and turned on all the switches---- which was equivalent to public broadcasting, and then announced the news loudly to all places, and then asked all the councilors to rush to the conference room on the fifth floor as soon as possible to discuss the matter.

Since the plenum was renamed the Bundesrat, the Supreme Executive Council was abolished, because the President and the Vice-President already performed their functions of executive coordination, and the various federal institutions also performed their own functions, and the travelers knew that everyone's power was not easy to come by, so that an organization above the Senators of the Bundesrat could no longer be preserved---- such as the "Standing Committee", otherwise the mechanism of equal discussion for each senator in the Bundesrat would be seriously weakened. It can even be like a fiction.

Obviously, this group of people from the Old World is very aware of this, and completely cannot accept that this is happening to the New World itself again.

Therefore, in principle, as long as it is a matter that the senators think needs to be discussed, no matter how big or small, Lao Ba, as the speaker of the parliament, must summon all the senators to attend the meeting.

However, in the course of day-to-day practice, if the matter discussed is not so relevant to one's specialty, does not feel so important, has no interest, or feels that it is completely unincapable of interfering---- then the Senate will probably not attend the meeting at all.

Obviously, Lao Ba's announcement on the public channel of the intercom caused a sensation - we may get 30,000 people in the near future, which is obviously a big deal, and it is closely related to everyone's career.

An hour later, the travelers who had stayed at home had arrived, and the conference room on the fifth floor was immediately bustling with excitement as everyone circulated the telegram from Macao.

Next, Xiao Fei brought another telegram from Macao, this time about the situation reported to Dai Xiaoshan by Ingre, a grandmother from the Macau Charity Church Orphanage.

According to the situation from the church system, the Qing army has approached Gaozhou, burning and killing along the way, and a large number of refugees are pouring into the state city, and the local church has gathered more than 500 boys and girls, ranging in age from three or five to twelve or thirteen years old.

More than 500 children, which is great!

After receiving the telegram, Lao Ba left behind the people in the conference room who were talking about it, and ran to the communication room on the roof of the building himself, and asked Xiao Fei to send a telegram to the two ships and two places to ask: Have you received a telegram from Macao, and if you have any opinions on this, you should quickly put forward it, and the Red Chamber is holding a plenary meeting.

The first to call back was Nicole, Sun Lao said that they had also received the telegram, and had consulted Captain Gu and all the crew, everyone thought that now we must act urgently to go all out to pull people in Leizhou, in a word: we must not let go of this opportunity to get a large number of immigrants.

To this end, Captain Gu suggested: Mobilize all our existing transportation forces to transport people to the Leizhou Peninsula, including the allies who can be mobilized.

Ziyu: Our ship, in addition to the Pride and the three sailing ships, the Nicole will also be dispatched---- even if it affects the business, we must get this done.

Captain Gu explained that if everyone agrees that the Nicole will go to the Leizhou Peninsula, then our capacity problem can be easily solved, and considering that there must be a dangerous and complex situation in the local area, in order to smoothly obtain immigrants, should we also send some ground armed forces to the local area? Anyway, as long as the Nicole is involved in this operation, there will definitely be no problem with the delivery of armed forces.

Soon, the Pride also called back, saying that it fully agreed with Sun Lao and Captain Gu's proposal, followed by Xin'an Cheng's callback, which was Xiao Pingguo, who had just actually taken over the position of governor, and Wei Hong, the captain of the Xin'an Garrison, who jointly called back:

"At present, the situation around Xin'an City is relatively stable, and the expansion of the garrison has been completed, so it is recommended that 600 guns be left for garrison, and the remaining 1,200 guns can be dispatched."

In addition to Xiao Wei and the others, Hou Xianglin, Gui Xianning, and Kang Da were also signed at the back of this telegram, indicating that these three also agreed with the contents of this telegram.

At present, among these people in Xin'an City, Gui Xianning is in charge of the production and operation of the local sugar factory and ammunition factory, he was originally here to temporarily preside over it, but then the situation changed, Xiao Pingguo said that he and Wei Hong are both laymen, and the factory here needs a professional to preside, so Gui Xianning finally stayed.

Gui Xianning's stay in Sinancheng is also the final decision of the board of directors of the "Beishang Fund", because the "Beishang Fund" recently held its first shareholders' meeting, and the shareholders of the two ships and three places participated in this meeting in various ways, the theme is to discuss the issue of overseas investment, and the shareholders approved the overseas investment plan from the second half of this year to the first half of next year.

First of all, the plan rejected the original plan to invest in the construction of a glass factory on Xiaowanshan Island, because everyone found that the energy conditions there were not good, and the plan finally decided to build the glass factory in Sinanseong.

In addition to the glass factory, the shareholders' meeting also decided to build another cement factory and brick and tile factory in Sinanseong.

The main reason is that the shareholders are very confident in Kangda and Wang Zhanwu's plan to build a dam on the Xin'an River, after all, there is a relatively sufficient labor force there, and once the Xin'an River hydropower station is completed, there will be basically no problem with the energy of all factories, including the glass factory, while Wanshan Island does not have these conditions.
