Section 181: Celebration and Commendation Meeting

Someone said: "Zhang Dahu, your family doesn't have many other things, and you have the most daughters, do you want to marry a few to short-haired?" This old man has done a good job! ”

Zhang Dahu is Zhang Youfu, and he is the representative of the county Guodu. () At this time, I drank a few more glasses, this wine was sent from Guangzhou to get "unparalleled national warriors", very mellow, and not as easy to get on as soil burning, Zhang Youfu had already drunk too much, people were dizzy, and said with a smile: "That's right, no matter how much my daughter is, she can't marry such a foundationless family——"

"Why do you say that there is no foundation, this industry of others, I am afraid that it will be the first in high school in the future." One of the landlords shook his head and sighed, "Let's just talk about this ice lion, I've never seen it in Lingao!" I don't know where they got the ice. Even Guangzhou can only be obtained by first-class people! ”

"It is said that it was shipped from Bopu, so I wondered, can ice be fished out of this sea?"

"Maybe it's their sorcery again." Someone whispered, "These short-haired people are very evil." Those automatic cars, iron bulls, don't talk about it, just the iron boats, no sails and no oars...... How can it be activated if it is not the power of ghosts and gods? ”

"But haven't you seen them open the altar!"

"Can you know this? Maybe there's a boy and a girl in there—"

"Boys and girls? The county has not heard of any cases of lost boys and girls. ”

"Then they went boatload by boat from the mainland. What are you doing transporting children over there, raising maids? Do you want so much? ”

"The thief is a thief, a maid, a small servant, no. It's thousands, what kind of boys and girls, I think you are burning pills and want to be immortals and crazy. ”

"Immortals? I think this short-haired day is almost like a fairy! ”

"Yes, but a trip here, really. It's a wasted life! A landlord looked up at the chandelier on the ceiling and stared at it for a while before he sighed, "I have seen so many things that I have not seen before, and I have eaten so many things that I have not eaten. ”

Although the atmosphere in the banquet hall was warm, it seemed that the two sides were intimate. The inside and outside of the merchant hall were loose on the outside and tight on the inside: the army, the political security department, and the police were put on alert. Be prepared to be ready for eventualities.

The security department was more worried than the pampered conference delegates. Their attachés, most of whom were more than 400 men, were young and strong, and it would be a great trouble to toss them up. In order to prevent them from picking quarrels and provoking troubles in their activities in Dongmen City, they gathered all these people together in the evening in the name of hospitality, and each of them was given a boxed lunch, but there was no alcohol. Inside, a plainclothes team led by Zhou Shizhai mixed in the crowd and kept an eye on its movements at any time.

"Everyone give me a little bit of energy!" Dugu proposes to wear a black defense. Thorn subdued, said in a low voice. Around him was the Dongmen City Police Station, which was the main force, and mobilized an emergency team composed of the militia of Bairen Commune, all of whom wore rattan helmets, rattan vests, and clubs and shields, ready to be pressed at any time.

"I said, it is necessary for this. Is it like a great enemy? "The rain blowing at the east gate is a little too much. Also on standby at the camp outside East Gate were a company of Army infantry and six 12-pounder mountain howitzers, all loaded with ammunition.

Fang Jinghan sneered: "Hmph, if these hundreds of natives make a fuss, can we hold it down?" This is the heart of the heart. "He was seconded from the long-range exploration team to join the emergency response team - because he knew a lot of dialects and was easy to call out when something happened.

The dinner of the two groups of people inside and outside finally ended harmoniously, and the attachés who were squatting outside to eat boxed lunches naturally did not know that there were hundreds of people eyeing them and ready to clean up their group at any time, and they all felt that the shorthairs were very well entertained.

Then, on the afternoon of the next day, a meeting was held to celebrate the defeat of Liu Xiang's gang at the just-completed Bairen Stadium. Originally, the executive committee had wanted to do it for a long time, and the original Jihua was only a small-scale ceremony, and the awards and medals to the combatants were finished. However, the convening of the meeting of the Political Consultative Industry Association made them change their minds, and the purpose of the exchange meeting with the leaders of each village was to expand the shili to the surrounding areas, and to take advantage of the opportunity to defeat the pirates, they should show these leaders on the ground the great strength and unique spirit of the crossing party. Decide to come up with a two-in-one in turn. It is necessary not only to hold a meeting of the consultative industry association, but also to hold a celebration meeting and a military parade.

In fact, the amount of construction of this stadium is only just over half, although there is still a considerable part of it has not been completed, but the main facilities have been completed, according to the high standards of time and space, it looks magnificent enough.

The stadium was temporarily erected with wooden stepped stands that filled the delegates, and even their attachés were allowed to enter the stadium and sit in the stands a little further away from the rostrum. Wu De also gave the Bairen Commune and the labor team a day off and organized everyone to come to watch the ceremony. The stands could not sit down, and there were many people standing behind the lime line. Adults, children, and women are not very lively. The representatives of the villages looked curiously at the tall stone buildings in front of them (which were actually bread stones) and at the large grassless and crushed sturdy clearing under their feet, which had been marked with lime powder. There were mounds of dirt and stakes in the clearing by the river, all speculating on what the Shorthairs were going to do.

On the entire viewing platform, colorful flags fluttered in the breeze, which is the kind of colorful nylon flags that will fly everywhere on festivals in another time and space. Around the stands, army sentry posts dressed in first-year uniforms, heavily armed and armed with bayonets, stood straight.

The traversers in the stands were in a different mood. The officers and men of the army wearing gray octagonal hats, gray uniforms, and leggings cannot but remind people of the myth of the invincibility of the army from weak to strong in another time and space. Although he knew that it was impossible to replicate the same army, he still used it as a standard to measure the army in front of him that was created, armed, and completely owned by the traversers.

The celebration was actually a demonstration to the county seat and the surrounding squires and began under the warm sun of Hainan in winter.

The sound of the tweeter gave the villagers and the old man the first surprise. When Wen Desi loudly announced the start of the Bopu Battle Commendation Conference and the Celebration of the Establishment of the Bairen Security Regiment in his high-pitched Mandarin, the villagers and villagers looked around in surprise, and it was clear that the person who spoke was standing on the platform, but why did the sound come from the high poles on all sides, and it shook the eardrums and buzzed. This rugged effect is completely different from the sound speakers placed on either side of the rostrum in the cinema.

First of all, the people who made meritorious contributions in the Battle of Bopu were commended, and 75 Navy, Army, and Military Workers including Lin Shenhe, Bai Yu, Mondstadt, and Wang Ruixiang were awarded the "Bopu Defense" armband, and they had the right to sew the armband on their uniforms to realize their combat honors.

110 non-military personnel, including Dugu Marriage Proposal, Tan Ming, and Qian Shui Xie, were awarded the "Bopu Defense" shield and obtained a shield that could be sewn on any official uniform.

Subsequently, it was announced that all army and navy soldiers and laborers who participated in the defense of Bopu would be awarded the commemorative medal of "Bopu Defense" and that they would be paid an additional month's military salary, and at the same time, 35 soldiers and laborers who were particularly outstanding in the battle would be awarded medals of the second and third grades of military merit, with an additional two months and one month's military pay respectively.

In addition to being buried in the "Cuigang Martyrs' Cemetery" according to military honors, the Executive Committee also pays pensions to the families of all the soldiers and laborers who died in battle, and the immediate family members of the deceased can each receive a negotiable coupon of 500 yuan per year: all the children are paid to the "Loyal Heirs School", all food, lodging and clothing expenses are borne by the Executive Committee, and the parents of the deceased are sent to their deaths by the FDC Committee.

This bereavement pension can be said to be unprecedented, and not only the delegates were dumbfounded, but even the soldiers, members and workers could not believe it. Generally speaking, whether it is an official or an army, a village warrior, or even a pirate or bandit, after the death of a person in battle, he has to pay tribute to the family members of the brothers who died in battle. But this is the first time I have heard of such meticulous care for the bereaved family.

"Dead people are worth so much money!" Listening to Wen Desi say it loudly, and it was translated into various dialects, the people of Lingao County gasped, it was really unheard of, even those who have read some books, all they know is the story of the soldiers who fought bravely with death threats in the last battle, and the truth that there must be brave men under the heavy reward also understands - but this is all for the living, the dead soldiers are of no use to themselves at all, and it is already a great grace to give some bereavement to the family. No one has ever wanted to pay so much for the life of a creep.

At this point, the people of Lingao County began to realize that the army there must be very different from the army and bandits of the Ming Dynasty - the lives of the soldiers there are very valuable!

"That's probably nonsense. Deceive the ignorant grass people to work for them. Huang Yukun continued his incendiary propaganda. To tell the truth, he himself did not believe that the Australians were fighting such a war, and their court would not have gone bankrupt long ago, unless Australia was full of gold and silver.

"When you say it in public, An Neng is speaking casually." The person who said this, Huang Yukun, didn't recognize it, he looked like a down-and-out scholar, but he definitely didn't go to school, he was a talented person who had gone to school, so he naturally looked down on this kind of scholar who had no reputation, and was just about to open his mouth to ridicule him. There was a representative who looked like a small landlord and said:

"I don't think it's casual. There are many short-haired or honest people. He said that he went to the mill here in Lingao to grind the grain, and every time he finished grinding, Short Hair put brown rice, chaff and chaff in separate bags, weighed them one by one and showed him for inspection, and then collected the money according to the price. "That alone makes me think they can be trusted!" ”
