Chapter 191: Act 38
At the beginning of May, the Jinhe and the new Jiaosha-class No. 2 ship Malacca drilled out of the Jinhe estuary, set sail, and headed due south. The Malacca is Karl's flagship, and was transferred back from the supply fleet by Hong Tao in the name of warship maintenance, and the replacement of the commander of the supply fleet is Weng Ya, who is also the current highest-ranking girl in Jinhe Bay, just 21 years old, has already had a six-year career as an independent captain, and has been to Cape Town Harbor at the farthest, driving farther miles than many male captains. With Weng Ya's golden example, the girls who had been trained on the ship in Jinhewan immediately suffered from pink eye and began to argue that they would serve on the ship like the boys. They also want to be captains and commanders, and then they can find a handsome guy like Mercy, who can be captains and commanders at home and abroad.
Mercy is a very bad start for Jinhewan, and since he was transferred to the supply fleet by Hong Tao under the command of his fiancée Weng Ya, he has become a strict wife without hesitation. It was just a matter of making a mistake in the fleet and being punished by Weng Ya, and when he returned home, he annoyed Weng Ya with that broken mouth, and was actually waterboarded by Weng Ya in the yard, and was seen by the neighbors. This is a hornet's nest, Hong Tao has been advocating women's equality for so many years, there has been no substantial progress, but Weng Ya's jar of water has poured out the hearts of all Jinhewan women, and they also have to live a life like Weng Ya, and they can beat their own men at home and abroad!
"Give them a whaling boat, let Bozhu take them for a while, my daughter-in-law was also a good whaling player with me back then, and these girls have all been on the boat and trained, so there should be no big problems. And promise them. As long as they can complete a year's ration like any other whaling ship. Next year there will be a new warship for them. Incorporated into the main fleet. When Hong Tao discussed this issue in the board of directors, he fully understood and affirmed the requirements of these girls. He doesn't think that being afraid of his daughter-in-law is a shortcoming, a man will only be afraid when he loves a woman, otherwise two Weng Ya can't beat one mercy. The boy had not only learned judo with himself, but also fencing with Carl, and in another five or six years, when he reached the prime of life. I don't think I'm an opponent anymore. Besides, there is no room for so many housewives in the workshop, and many young girls don't like to do handicrafts very much, so they can't be left to be idle all day. If Ming'er cultivates a group of female gangsters, then Jinhewan will be lively, so it's better to find some work for them.
The Tan family, the Li people, and the foreigners on the board of directors did not have much objection to letting the girls show their heads and sail out to sea like men, and they were used to it anyway. Only the Han family is not very happy, they are afraid that their girls will be taken badly and lose the etiquette that Han girls should have. I can't get married in the future. There are quite a few Han people in Jinhewan, but their political power is not high. After all, they came late, and there was only one board member of Qi Zu, who couldn't withstand everyone's persuasion, and finally passed this new regulation. Hong Tao called this provision the 38 Act, to the effect that in the Jinhewan system, all jobs that men can do must provide women with the same job opportunities, and no exclusion is allowed on the basis of gender.
"If you do this, will my daughter be clamoring to be a sailor in the future?" Along with the Golden River and Malacca, there is also a whaling ship that drills out of the mouth of the Golden River, and unlike other whaling ships, the sails on this ship are embroidered and colorful. It was the first boat in Jinhewan to be driven purely by a woman, and the captain was Hong Tao's daughter-in-law Bo Zhu. When the crazy girls heard that they had their own boat, they immediately went to work, and it took three days to scrape almost the entire ship from the inside out with a layer of wood, which in their words was too smelly for the men to drive. In addition to cleaning the boats, there are also beautifying the boats, inlaying copper flowers into the hull, carving wood carvings, and embroidering new sails. After tossing for more than half a month, it was finally possible to go to sea, but this whaling ship was about to become a flower boat for eating, drinking and listening to music in the Yongjiang River outside Mingzhou City, covered in golden light and fluttering ribbons.
"What's wrong with being a sailor? My daughter can be a sailor, and your daughter is more expensive than a salamander? Hong Tao actually doesn't look down on this group of girls tossing around, but this rule is passed by him, and he has to swallow it in his stomach if he breaks his teeth.
"I want my daughter to learn music and painting, there is always no art in Jinhe Bay, and the children also lack this education, just like you, they are all turtles." Carl is also a royal family, and in terms of life taste and artistic accomplishment, he is really much higher than Hong Tao.
"Then you'd better take Xiao Maruko back to Europe, and when she is freshman, she will be sent to the Great Song Dynasty, and as soon as the two sides are integrated, she will be a great painter and musician in the future." Hong Tao is really not very good at art, and it is not too much to say that he is a turtle. His favorite dance is belly dancing, his favorite paintings are all kinds of drawings, and his favorite music is "You at the Same Table" played on the broken guitar made of whale bones and fish skin, which is vulgar at home.
"I'm not too worried about leaving her there alone, let's go back and see, I don't know what my house is like...... My cousin is still not a king, and he has not been in a good situation. As soon as he talked about his home in the Holy Roman Empire, Karl was so sad that he hadn't been back for ten years, and he hadn't heard from him at all.
"Come on, don't be sentimental, you should say a few more kind words to your god now, he made you meet me, otherwise you would have become bait by now. Let's get back to your ship, we're short on time, we need to hurry up and get everything arranged here, or I won't be able to walk for so long. Hong Tao is most annoyed by this kind of life and death parting emotion, he doesn't want to think about it, to say that the one who is far away from home should be the farthest away, it is hundreds of years away! If you worry every day, you won't be able to live this day, and you won't be able to go back if you die.
"Hang up the banner of the envoy, give the flag to No. 38, and tell them that from here to Mayi Bay, if they can keep up with the Golden River, I will give them a striptease, and if they can't keep up, their captain will have to come and sleep with me on the ship!" Full sail, heading 175, winged sails! "The best way to deal with bad emotions is to find something to do for yourself, and forget everything when you get busy. Looking at the bells and whistles of the whaling ship behind his ass, Hong Tao began to be indecent again, and actually flirted with his wife.
"Sir, No. 38 said you are a bastard...... "This time it was Huang Hai's grandson Huang Ya who served Hong Tao as the first mate, and he faithfully passed Hong Tao's meaning to the standard-bearer on the lookout, and then faithfully reported the feedback to Hong Tao.
“…… You, you've been the first mate all your life, don't convey this kind of words in the future, just think they're scolding you, do you say I'm punishing you or not? How dare you insult the commander of the fleet! "Hong Tao is so worried, how can he catch up with such a person with no emotional intelligence, the emotions that he has finally cultivated, let him tell the truth, it is not interesting at all, let's go back to the cabin and draw my own chart, I can't afford to hide from us!
The 38 must have been faster than the Golden River and the Malacca, it was a high-speed sailing ship, and it disappeared in less than three hours. Of course, Bo Zhu didn't stop the boat and wait to see what striptease her husband did to a group of big girls and little daughters-in-law. She also knew that Hong Tao would definitely not be able to dance, there were 800 reasons to cheat and wait, even if he didn't cheat, Bozhu would not stop the boat, that kind of dance could only be danced for herself at home, and it was resolutely not leaked!
Thanks to the copper plates laid on the bottom of the ship, the speed of the Golden River and Malacca has really increased by less than two knots, which is already a big improvement. However, Hong Tao came out with Carl's boat this time, not to race the speed of the boat with his daughter-in-law, nor to go on a long voyage, he was preparing for the voyage. Now he is going to Brunei Darussalam to summon representatives of Southeast Asian countries, who should be appeased and criticized. These major countries in Southeast Asia have landed on the island of Jawa and attacked for more than half a year, and there have been quite a few contradictions over the ownership of some territories.
Jawa Island is over, no, it should be said that the Jawa country is finished. It was first turned around by Hong Tao's warship, and then it was tossed by the landing of the armies of other countries, and in less than half a year, the country of Jawa was dismembered. The east was occupied by the Mayi, the west was returned to the kingdom of Sri Buddha, and the north was gnawed off by the Brunei, and most of the Javanese were reduced to slavery, except for some remnants of the Java kingdom in the southern rainforest and the surrounding islands.
The enemy is gone, and according to historical practice, partners should fight each other, and this law applies to the whole world, so these countries in Southeast Asia are not exempt from vulgarity. Whoever received more assistance from the Jinhe Company, contributed less during the war, who occupied more good places, and who died more, all the dissatisfaction accumulated for a period of time, and all of them came out at this time. Anyway, as long as there is more than one partner, there will always be contradictions, and even if there is none, Hong Tao has to create it artificially.
So under the inadvertent favoritism of Hong Tao, the Mayi people in the east began to covet the lost territory of Sri Buddha in the west, and met each other in arms. The Bruneians in the middle were also not at peace, and for a while they fell to the Mayi people to beat the dead of Sri Buddha, and for a while they beat the Mayi people with the dead of Sri Buddha, although the three families were not officially launched, but the skirmishes continued, and the seeds of hatred were planted.
