Chapter 125: Re-election
As for what the crossing conference was, Zheng Jie and Ruan Qi listened to Jiang Beiming's explanation for a long time and didn't understand, Jiang Beiming had to say that the Ming court recruited them back, and they would come back in 10 days at most, and they would bring back some flintlock pistols and distribute them to the new army. In the days when they returned www.biquge.info, the horses ran and danced, and all the training in the new barracks remained the same. Zheng Jie didn't say anything more because of the flintlock pistol's face, but just in case, Jiang Beiming still transferred 2 companies from the Jinpu Barracks to the Thang Long Mansion Barracks.
On the first day of the seventh month, all the travelers in Vietnam returned to Yulin Bay on the God, and Liu Jun from Guangzhou, Wang Jian from Yazhou, and Wei Yang from Qiongzhou had already returned a few days earlier.
There is no suspense, Lu Tianxiang went out of the mountain this time and was elected chairman very smoothly, no one is willing or no one dares to compete with this old man. But what everyone didn't expect, including Jiang Beiming, was that Xu Lang resigned from the post of major chief of staff, gave up his military position, and also participated in the committee election.
Xu Lang used Jiang Beiming's words as a campaign speech: "I know that I am an idealist, and I also know that in the eyes of many people, I am an alternative, and I know that many of you don't like me from the bottom of your heart." However, no matter how good the system is, it cannot be perfect, and no matter how good the policy is, there will be omissions. Someone has to come out and sing white faces, and someone has to give opinions and criticisms of our work. Universal suffrage is not perfect, and democracy is not perfect, but when we abide by the principle that the minority obeys the majority, we also need a sober bystander, and only the bystander can see the essence of the matter most clearly. I don't dare to say how capable I am, and I don't dare to say what I will contribute to everyone and the entire crossing group, but I am willing to be this sober bystander, I am willing to be an annoying, lonely, sober bystander. ”
I don't know if it was Xu Lang's speech that really moved the traversers, or because no one participated in the election, and finally Xu Lang returned to the committee with just over half of the votes.
The whole election went smoothly, and Di Chong and Nie Zhongbin also returned to the committee as representatives of a large number of traversers who had gone it alone, and became the spokespersons of this group of people.
It has been two years since the landing, and due to the complexity of the temporary establishment of institutions in the past two years, there are both groups and bureaus, as well as banks and external offices, and some of the institutions have overlapping settings and mixed staff. Therefore, at the initiative of Lu Tianxiang, the conference adjusted the institutional settings and redivided the responsibilities.
The adjusted mechanism settings are as follows:
Bureau of Industry. Director Xia Yang. The military scientific research group and the iron-smelting plant, glass factory, soap factory, etc., which have not yet been assigned to private individuals, are under the Industrial Bureau.
Bureau of Mines. Director Gu Yunkun.
Department of Agriculture. Director Liang Chengdong.
Bureau of Commerce. Director Sun Tianhao.
Department of Justice. Director and Chief Inspector of the Patrol Room Liu Guannan. The prison is subordinate to the Bureau of Justice, and the prison director, Wu Zhenhan.
Department of Health. Director and President of Yulin Bay Hospital, Ouyang Zhengping.
Education bureau. Director and Principal of Yulin Bay School, He Yun.
Land Construction Planning Bureau. Director Luan Xu, because the crossing group has leased Yulin Bay, and now the construction of Yulin Bay is disorderly, and the phenomenon of random construction can be seen everywhere, so the crossing group has established a land construction planning bureau to carry out overall planning for the construction of Yulin Bay. Luan Xu, the original leader of the hunting team and the leader of the logistics team, returned to the position of director after more than a year of silence.
Office of External Coordination. That is, the de facto Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Director Pham Thu Minh.
Yulin Bay Bank. President Sun Dalei and Vice President Cheng Yiyi. Yulinwan Bank assumed some of the responsibilities of the Ministry of Finance.
Shipyard. Qiu Peng, the factory director, and John, the chief technician.
Arsenal. Factory director Shen Daxing. Chief technician Zhang Xin, Ye Sunquan.
The Women's Federation is still retained, and the director of the Women's Federation is still Tan Jing.
Wang Jian, director of Yazhou office.
Wei Yang, director of the Qiongzhou office.
Liu Jun, director of the Guangzhou office.
Each of these bodies will no longer be subordinate to each other, but will all be directly accountable to the General Assembly.
The judge of the court is still Shi Xianyang. Under Shi Xianyang's insistence, the Crossing Tribunal will exist as a judicial body independent of the Crossing Congress, accountable to no one and loyal only to the East China Sea Pearl Convention. Shi Xianyang's proposal that the Crossing Tribunal should have the status of a constitutional court and could veto a legal provision enacted by the Crossing Assembly that violated the Covenant was ultimately rejected by the Crossing Assembly on the grounds that it would affect the status of the Crossing Assembly as the supreme authority.
In view of the situation in Vietnam, the Congress decided to set up the Governor's Office in Annam Kimphu to deal with all affairs in Vietnam. Jiang Beiming added the title of Governor of Jinpu to a series of titles, and at the same time the military rank was promoted to colonel. The three-member team of Annan's top decision-making team was also changed from Jiang Beiming, Cheng Yiyi, and Sun Tianhao to Jiang Beiming, Fan Qiuming, and Xu Lang. Sun Tianhao and Cheng Yiyi will no longer go to Vietnam, Xu Lang has taken over the position of Cheng Yiyi's representative on the committee, and Pham Thu Minh has taken over as the head of Sun Tianhao's pioneering delegation as the head of the International Liaison Office.
In addition, the Congress approved the adjustment plan of the Military Commission. The army of Yulin Bay was officially named the Yulin Bay Defense Army, referred to as the Yulin Army.
The Military Commission consists of the Ministry of the Army, and the Minister is Lieutenant Colonel Han Wantao.
Admiralty, Minister Lieutenant Colonel Zeng Guangxian.
The commander of the Annan Dispatch Army Headquarters was concurrently served by Colonel Jiang Beiming.
Yulin Bay Military Academy, Principal Major Wang Hua.
In the Yulin Bay Military Court, the chief judge is Zhang Guodong, chairman of the Military Commission.
The Marine Corps was reassigned to the Military Commission as an armed force separate from the Navy and Army. Major Lin Zhaolong, Marine Corps Commander, and Captain Zhang Haihai, Deputy Commander. Zhang Hai's military rank was also raised by one level.
The members of the Military Commission remain unchanged, and there are still 7 people including Zhang Guodong.
The Chiefs and Directors of the Heads of the Heads of the Posts were consulted by the Committee and the Military Council respectively prior to the issuance of their appointments, as a result of a new resolution by the General Assembly whereby the term of office of these persons would be changed from one year to two years in the absence of exceptional circumstances. In other words, these so-called professionals will not be able to run for the committee for two years.
The Committee's responsibilities remain unchanged and remain the highest decision-making body in Yulin Bay across the intersessional period of the General Assembly.
Regarding putting Ye Sunquan and John in the position of chief technician like Zhang Xin, some traversers expressed their dissatisfaction. The Ming Dynasty and Westerners are also people who are 400 years behind, if the current status is the same, then there will be a day in the future when the Ming Dynasty people lead the phenomenon of traversers, which is unacceptable to these traversers.
Li Fuqiang was the first to stand up and refute the opinions of these people: "Why can't you be equal to the people of the Ming Dynasty, what's wrong with the people of the Ming Dynasty, are the people of the Ming Dynasty inferior, my wife is from the Ming Dynasty, which of you does not have a Ming Dynasty people?" Which of you dares to stand up and say that you will not marry the Ming Dynasty in the future? ”
In the end, a compromise decision was made at the crossing conference, Zhang Xin's chief technician was a civil servant, an iron rice bowl; Ye Sunquan and John's chief technicians are employees of the factory.
As for Xu Lang's proposal to march into Prianggo and open up the situation in the South Seas, the conference fully affirmed it. It also authorized the three-member team of the highest decision-maker in Annam, and the matter can be fully implemented by the Jinpu Governor's Office.
Jiang Beiming and others who returned from Vietnam collectively submitted a proposal on a green card and the Foreign Legion, which was discussed all day. Most of the traversers think that there is nothing wrong with the proposal itself, but is there so much house and land in Yulin Bay? The house is okay, if the land is really divided for more than 1,000 people, then the land in Yulin Bay may not be enough at all. Regarding this issue, Jiang Beiming made a final explanation:
"Members, our purpose is not really to give them houses and land, our purpose is to find an attraction point to attract these Vietnamese to serve us. The population of our Yulin Bay is not enough to support our military expansion plan, and we can only focus on these Vietnamese. To put it mildly, this is the turnip hanging in front of the donkey, which can only be smelled, but never eaten. Even if 3 years later, someone really asks us for a house and land, members, if we can't get out of Yulin Bay for 3 years, then we will really fail. ”
The conference endorsed Jiang Beiming's views and passed a "Yulin Bay Foreign Soldier Service Law". People from any country or region other than the Ming Dynasty, as long as they can serve in the Yulin Army for three years without any illegal or criminal records, they can receive a retirement subsidy of 100 taels of silver when they retire, and they can also get a house and no less than 30 acres of land. As for where the 30 acres of land are, no one in the entire crossing group knows now. Since you are painting bread to satisfy your hunger, you might as well draw a bigger cake, and you can't eat it anyway. Who told the peasants that their dream since ancient times is "a cow on 30 acres of land, and a hot kang head for their wives and children", this is the case for Chinese farmers, and the same should be true for Vietnamese farmers.
Vietnamese soldiers have this "Military Service Law", so what to do with the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. It is impossible to hide this matter, even the Annan people can have 100 taels of silver and 30 acres of land when they have been soldiers for 3 years, so the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can't go home empty-handed. Although this thing can't be hidden, but the whole crossing conference stumped, Vietnam's radish and flatbread are easy to paint, Daming's flatbread can not be painted, if you really draw a Chinese scoop according to the Vietnamese gourd, there will be big problems in the future. However, fortunately, at least in the next few years, the Yulin Army will always be in a state of military expansion, and there should be no retirement except for disability. The meeting decided to put the matter on hold for the first time, and the Military Commission would study and come up with a feasible plan for the next meeting to vote on.
The crossing conference is over, and Jiang Beiming and others are going to return to Vietnam. Because Cheng Yiyi no longer goes to Vietnam, she still has to find a woman to be the communication link between the traverser and Yao Han. But now there is no woman in the entire crossing group who is willing to go to Vietnam, and in the end, Jiang Beiming has no choice but to ask Xu Lang to ask Zhao Zhiruo what she means to see if she is willing to go.
Xu Lang shook his head like a drum: "I won't ask, if Zhao Zhi is not Cheng Yiyi, the little family Jasper can't do what a female man can do." ”
"I'll tell you, Xu Lang, don't count it." Jiang Beiming pointed at Xu Lang and said, "I'm helping you, if Zhao Zhiruo goes to Vietnam, this is your opportunity." ”
"Pull it down, can you help me?" Xu Lang smiled, "Are you afraid that no one will accompany you, so you won't be able to go to Yao Han's family." ”
Jiang Beiming smiled embarrassedly: "Don't care who we are to help whom, Zhao Zhiruo is the most suitable person." ”
"Since it's the most suitable, you can just go and tell her no. You are the Governor of Jinpu and the commander of the Dispatch Army, which is also required for the job. ”
"I said that she doesn't necessarily listen, you have a big face, and she will listen to what you say."
"You don't have to say anything, Miss Zhao promised to go to Vietnam." Cheng Yiyi said as she walked in from outside the door.
"And he doesn't knock." Xu Lang pointed at Cheng Yiyi and said with a smile, "It's hindering our military affairs again." ”
This time, Cheng Yiyi didn't smile: "I went to ask Miss Zhao what she meant, and she was willing to go." Xu Lang, take care of Miss Zhao and take care of yourself. ”
Cheng Yiyi's last words were choked. Jiang Beiming grimaced at Xu Lang, quietly slipped out of the house, and closed the door casually.
"Yiyi." There were only 2 people left in the room, Xu Lang and Cheng Yiyi, and after Xu Lang called Yiyi, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Xu Lang, hug me. I'm willing to do as the locals do. ”
