At the end of June 1641, after the end of the expedition to the Ming Dynasty's Zheng family, the Hailan returned triumphantly with the fruits of victory, and the National Telegraph Receiving Center in Manchester City, after receiving the message from Christmas Island, the leaders of the Executive Committee decided to carry out a nationwide propaganda of this victory.

No matter from which point of view, this is the first victory in a foreign war, and it is also the best moment to unite people's hearts, for an emerging immigration country like Australia, if you want to really make people completely regard themselves as an Australian citizen, it is not as simple as providing people with some food and shelter, and the strength, so that new immigrants can see the strength of this country.

The celebration of welcoming the return of the Sea Blue was regarded as an important political task and issued to units at all levels, requiring all units to come up with a specific and feasible celebration report, and even in order to celebrate the return of the Sea Blue, the Executive Committee also approved a notice on the day of the holiday, requiring all units and factories in the local Manchester City to stop all production activities on the day of the return of the Sea Blue, and everyone went to the port to welcome the return of the country's heroes.

If you want to talk about heroes, in fact, they are not considered to be the navy and the army, that is, they themselves do not think that they are not worthy of the glory of this word, after all, they did not fight any hard battles on this expedition, but only relied on the advanced weapons and the excitement of the ship to defeat the backward Zheng Zhilong.

If the two sides are on the same combat weapons, they can even be sure that they will definitely be defeated, and fighting a naval battle with a person like Zheng Zhilong, who has been adrift at sea for most of his life, is simply looking for death.

But the Executive Committee doesn't care so much, they only look at the final result, and if they win, they naturally have to publicize it a lot, and now they urgently need such a war that can unite the people's hearts, how can they let it go, so no matter how reluctant the military is, the Executive Committee still gives a dead order.

Before the Sea Blue entered the port, the whistle sounded, and the people and government officials standing by the harbor looked at the huge ship emitting white smoke in the distance, and they all had a different taste in their hearts.

For the traversers, it is not easy to have everything in this time and space for more than a year, and to gain a firm foothold step by step.

But for the new immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, their hearts are a little complicated, from the root of the Ming Dynasty, they immigrated to Australia because they had no food, but the country they immigrated to has just ended a war against the Ming Dynasty, although the propaganda is only a private war against the Zheng family, not against the Ming court, but they are inevitably still a little puzzled in their hearts.

"The triumphant return of the Ming Dynasty Naval Division's expedition to the Ming Dynasty, the whole country is so jubilant, which shows how serious the style of Australia's country of valuing military force and ignoring literature is." A down-and-out Xiucai from Zhou Zhixiang of Daming stood in the crowd and talked with his friends about the Hailan that was about to enter the port.

"Brother Zhou's words are inappropriate, this Australian country is the same line as the former Song Dynasty Yashan, if it is excusable to say that heavy martial arts are also excusable, then the former Song Dynasty is to play the heavy literature and light martial arts, and will eventually be destroyed by the Mongols, this Australian natural ancestors naturally learned this lesson, and it will be so."

"Brother Yang's words are also inappropriate, after the Daming scholar surnamed Yang finished speaking, a voice came from behind him: If you want to say that the Australian court emphasizes military generals and light literature, then the dynasty will not spend such a huge amount of money to run schools, open up the wisdom of the people, and let all school-age children enter the school to study, if it is not right to say that it is completely heavy on military force, the management of the army by the dynasty is very strict, and even the military generals have no right to participate in politics at all, judging from this highlight, it can only be said that they account for half."

The man who spoke shook the folding fan in his hand, looked at the two and smiled.

The two of them were stunned when they saw the person coming, "Brother Bo Tao is also here, Brother Bo Tao can be described as a prosperous official, it is said that he has been promoted to the position of the first director of the Immigration Bureau of the National Dynasty. ”

The scholar named Zhou Zhixiang was the first to speak, for this Ming scholar who came with him, they admired him the most, whether it was who had a high reputation, he and Yang Chaocheng were born in Xiucai, and Chang Botao Although he was also a scholar, he did not get the fame of Xiucai, but he was the most valued by the Australian Ministry of Officials among the three of them, and he was also the fastest one to learn Australian knowledge.

Because of this, he entered the Australian court and became a civil servant, and although the two of them also served in the government departments of the country, they were taught children to enlighten and read.

So I was stunned when I first saw him, and after the three of them graduated from night school, they entered different positions, so there was less contact later.

"Brother Zhou said that it is to raise love for Chang, you and Brother Yang's talents, the country can take a fancy to it, and it is very important to teach children's enlightenment in Chinese culture, and there will be students of your two in this Australian country in the future, so lucky, Chang can't ask for it."

"Hehe, Brother Bo Tao said and laughed, studying hard for ten years is to show the ambition in his heart, how can teaching and educating people show his ambition." Zhou Zhixiang said so, obviously a little dissatisfied with the original distribution.

"Brother Zhou, I still have a lot of complaints about the distribution that day," Chang Botao asked with a smile.

Zhou Zhixiang is also a straightforward person, and he replied without hesitation: "Yes." ”

"Haha, Brother Zhou is really straightforward, the dynasty intends to build a new city, I don't know if Brother Zhou and Brother Yang can intentionally go."

Chang Botao asked like this, there must be some inside information, looking at his expression, he had the intention of recommending the two.

"Such a big thing can allow the two of us to think about it. Yang Chaocheng replied first this time, and gave Zhou Zhixiang a look. The other party immediately understood.

"Becoming an official is a big deal, Brother Botao, you see."

"Hehe, it's okay, there are still some days, if you two think about it, you can come to my residence and inform me, the ship is about to enter the port, let's go to meet it together."

As the Hailan entered the port, the people standing in the port also began to wave the five-star red flag in their hands and began to cheer.

When the Sea Blue officially stopped and the ship's spiral ladder was lowered, the military band in the port also began to play the five-star red flag that will never fall, the original song came from the American national anthem of later generations, and was personally written by Bao Jun, the second-in-command musician, although it sounded a little awkward, but it could barely be received, which was better than using the national anthem of later generations, because that song was really out of place in a country like Australia.

The national anthem was played, and the army and navy soldiers on the Sea Blue lined up in a neat queue and walked down from the ship with neat steps.
