Chapter 449: Accompanying the Military Reporter
Wang Yue sighed and said: "This is politics, and there has never been warmth to talk about." ”
Liu Ru said curiously: "How did Lord Wang know so much about it?" ”
Wang Yue laughed dryly and said, "Mountain people have their own clever plans!" If you are a young lady, you can see from Zhang Tianru's reaction that what I said is everything. ”
Liu Ru was gloomy, of course she could see whether what Wang Yue said was true or false.
"If Miss doesn't care about these shady things, let's go to the starting point city as soon as possible." Wang Yue said.
The collapse of the idol made Liu Ru is mood change greatly, and she said to Wang Yue: "My lord said that empty talk is misleading the country and doing hard work to rejuvenate the country, could it be that a large number of hungry people in Shanghai County have arrived these days, and it is Lord Wang's measure to work hard to rejuvenate the country?" ”
The influx and outflow of hundreds of thousands of hungry people frightened Tang Yidian, the commander of Shanghai County, and the pressure must have been unprecedented, especially when Wang Yue informed him that 50,000 hungry people would remain in Shanghai County.
Tang Yidian only knew the approximate situation of these hungry people, and outsiders didn't know the specific reason. Therefore, the gentry in Shanghai were a little trembling every day, and in their minds, the hungry people were the unstable factor.
"That's right, Miss." Wang Yue nodded and said, "There will be 50,000 of these hungry people who will stay in Shanghai and participate in the construction of the Shanghai New Area." Another 50,000 people will be used to build a highway from Shanghai County to Suzhou, which will be extended to Nanjing in the future. The remaining 300,000 people will migrate overseas to clear land for farming. ”
"30,000 or 300,000 people migrated overseas?" Liu Ru was shocked by this number.
Wang Yue said with a smile: "This is the first batch of people, and there will be more people going overseas in the future, and they will build new homes on overseas land to expand greater living space for our nation." Relocating them also reduced the pressure on the bandits in the Central Plains, didn't they have enough to eat? And he found them a place to eat. ”
Liu Ru was shocked by Wang Yue's words, this is a big deal, a big project, she arched her hand to Wang Yue and said: "Since my lord said that he will work hard to prosper the country, the slave family also wants to do something for these hungry people, but it can be useful to me." ”
Well, Wang Yue was stunned and said, "If Miss is an editor in Ming Pao, she is also doing practical things." ”
Liu Ru insisted: "If you want to do something for these hungry people! ”
Wang Yue thought about it helplessly, Liu Ru doesn't seem to have any special skills except poetry and songs, right?
"That, that young lady should be a reporter with the army!" Wang Yue said.
Liu Ru said puzzledly: "Reporter with the army? ”
"Yes!" Wang Yue nodded and said: "If you are a young lady, you can use your pen to truly record the new lives of those hungry people who have migrated overseas, and then Ming Pao will open a special column to publish these articles continuously, so that more people know that there is a new world overseas." ”
In the future, passive migration and active migration should be combined with each other, which will speed up the migration even more. Liu Ru is a celebrity, and her articles are not only widely focused, but also more believable.
Liu Ru wanted to do something for these hungry people, and one of the factors was also curiosity, Wang Yue got hundreds of thousands of people overseas, wouldn't they all be sold? This military reporter is just right.
Liu said: "Thank you, Lord Wang, that slave will be this reporter with the army." ”
In the tenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, 1637 A.D., on August 20, the Nanyang Detachment of the Tiance Army pulled anchor and set sail for the South China Sea.
The first and second batches of more than 20,000 immigrants sent to Taiwan's Tamsui have already arrived in Tamsui, and this time it is the third batch of more than 10,000 immigrants who are with the army.
The main force for transporting migrants was four passenger and cargo ro-ro ships, each of which could carry 2,500 people at a time. Although the quota of this kind of ro-ro wheel personnel is 880 people, these hungry people are not modern passengers, and the space such as the bottom warehouse, aisle, and scattered living room is squeezed, and this capacity will come up, and to put it bluntly, it is overloaded.
The Marines were not yet fully formed, and this time the army headed south was the Fifth Regiment, which was distributed on landing ships and a roll-on/roll-off wheel.
There were also eight wooden motor cargo ships with a displacement of 1,200 tons, which were two-storey above deck and three bilges, each of which could carry 800 hungry people.
Four of the wooden cargo ships have just been newly launched, and the shipyard in Tianjin uses mechanized assembly line operations, and the construction period of such simple cargo ships takes only one month when the materials are sufficient. The pace of such construction is not too fast, and it cannot be compared with the speed at which the Americans took only twenty-eight hours for a 10,000-ton liberty ship in the forties.
Both the passenger and cargo ro-ro ships and the motor cargo ships are equipped with weapons and have a certain self-defense capability, so even if they encounter European warships, they do not have to worry about firepower.
The escort mission was carried out by two maritime surveillance warships, and the third group to Tamsui this time was a collective trip of the entire Nanyang detachment.
Traveling on the ocean were a dock landing ship, two supply ships, two coast guard warships, four maritime surveillance warships, four passenger and cargo ro-ro ships, and eight wooden mobile cargo ships.
Liu Ruye's shock period has not completely passed, and she always likes to watch the huge fleet from the railing, which is a spectacular sight that could not be seen in the past life.
Wang Yue now has more women around him, because the German girl Lisa is also here, maybe she will meet Europeans in Nanyang, so translation is indispensable, so Wang Yue notified the starting point city to send her over.
"Miss Lisa, you may soon be able to meet Mr. Schohzin." Wang Yue said.
Schauzin, the commercial counsellor of the trading company, went to Batavia, and he sent back the news that he would soon rush to Hong Kong Island to participate in the construction of the Nanyang branch.
Lisa Minrini smiled, "Thank you, Lord Wang! ”
She is still very satisfied with the time she has spent in the starting point, and the living environment in Batavia is incomparable to the starting point.
The beauty was indeed very eye-catching when she smiled, and Wang Yue couldn't help but look at it twice.
Li Xuezhu knew Lisa, and she seriously suspected that this European woman was in love with Wang Yue, but as a partial room, she was not easy to express her opinions.
Liu Ru was strange, how could there be a foreign woman next to this Lord Wang, this was the first blonde and blue-eyed foreign girl she had seen.
"Lord Wang, how about we play another game?" Go is very popular in Jiangnan, and Liu Ru is also happy to do it as a famous prostitute, and when the trip is boring, it is also an activity to relieve boredom.
Wang Yue's level of Go is not false, but he has rich experience in actual combat, and it is no problem to abuse Liu as such. Who knows that this woman becomes more and more courageous the more she loses, and she usually takes the initiative to play chess.
"Okay, let's have another game!" Wang Yue said happily, there are a few beautiful women to accompany him, and the journey is not boring at all.
