Chapter 887: Fusion

Luwa has a Ming name, Luwa, in fact, it is a homonym, which means a tile produced in a place called Shandong in the Ming Empire. It is said to be very cultural, and Rova is quite happy anyway. But at this moment, his mood was extremely complicated, and when he stood on the dock and watched the huge battleship that braved the black rock to land, he had mixed feelings. As a descendant of the Indians, Roy should have hated these foreign colonists, but he couldn't.

The people of the Ming Dynasty were very cunning and difficult to deal with, but they were good to children. At the age of ten, Roy was forced out of the wilderness and into a place called the Academy. When he parted with his mother before, he cried to death or live, and the Ming man, who became his stepfather, scolded and scolded, saying that he could go to school, which was the grace of the ancestral court.

Later, I learned that the school is really good, and the best house is the school, and I don't have to worry about the roof leaking at home like when I was a child, and I don't have to worry about not having enough to eat. It's more painful to study, but the teacher's whip is very powerful, and he will whip you mercilessly, and he will whip you if he doesn't learn. Five years later, Rowa learned Chinese characters, spoke the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, and then got a job on the docks, and his stepfather married him a dark-skinned Nanyang mother-in-law as a daughter-in-law.

Now that his daughter-in-law is pregnant with a child, Luwa has been thinking of earning more money to buy delicious food for his daughter-in-law, but unfortunately he works at the dock, and it is not difficult to raise a child with the money he earns every day, but it is difficult to make his child the same as the children of other people in Daming. It is true that he is registered in Los Angeles County, but as an indigenous, he can only get the land after ten years from the day he is naturalized. It's not as good as his daughter-in-law, who can have ten acres of land to plant. The stepfather had a hundred acres of land, but that was the family business inherited by the stepfather and the younger brother born to his mother.

The sign erected on the pier reads it very clearly. "Enlistment Service". Roa is literate and knows what it means. Take up arms and fight other Indians? When he was extremely hesitant in his heart, the fleet entered the dock, and when Roa saw the huge battleship, his complicated emotions were touched fiercely. Daming is really powerful, being a Daming person is actually better than before.

Dock workers are paid up to five dollars a month. If you sign up to be a soldier, it will be 20 yuan a month. The province of food and clothing has come down, and when the irresistible thought of Da Ming swelled up in Luwa's heart, he had actually made a decision.

Sign up, press the handprint, the process is very simple, with a certificate, Roy can go to the boot camp tomorrow to report. When signing up, the officer asked a special question. Native American descent? Roy was a little nervous and thought he couldn't be a soldier anymore. Unexpectedly, the officer said after indicating it on the roster: "The general recruit period is three months, you need five to six months, no way, before the official division of land, you can't have private weapons, you need to start training again when you enter the new barracks, if it weren't for the fact that there are too few people who are soldiers." It's not your turn to be this soldier. ”

Truth be told, this place in North America. Serious Ming people are reluctant to be soldiers, there is too much land to plant, and the wages are high. After the end of compulsory education, the general Ming people choose to further their studies, go to Jinshan's lecture hall to study for three years, and after graduation, they will be second lieutenants and outstanding performers in the army. I chose to study for three years, and then I came out as a school officer. This way is the most popular choice for serious Ming people, and it is better to farm at home than to be a big-headed soldier. In contrast, the people who are most willing to serve in the army are of Japanese descent. The Indians wanted to be a soldier, but they didn't want you before.

The reason why Japanese Americans are willing to join the army is actually very simple, after five years of service, even if they cannot be sent to a military academy for further study, they can enjoy the treatment of Class A household registration after retirement. After five years of hard work, it is just for the benefit of future generations, and the social status of being a soldier is relatively high in North America, which is also an important attraction.

Bidding farewell to his pot-bellied wife and half-aged's mother, Roa entered the boot camp, and the first thing he did was to pick up his equipment and throw it into a pool of soup to bathe. The expected thing of learning to shoot a gun did not happen at all, but practiced in the queue early in the morning all day, and one practice was two months. You can't do it if you don't practice, you can't leave if you want to, in the words of the instructor, "Come in alive, there are only two possibilities to get out, one is to be carried out and sold when you die, and the other is to train to become a qualified recruit." ”

For Rowa, the most terrible thing is not the whip and the baton, but the small black house. Dig a big pit in the ground, have a cover plate on it, throw it into it dishonestly, and face a palm-sized ventilation hole every day, and close it once is a person who has to be obediently tortured.

Roa was imprisoned once and almost had a nervous breakdown. Since then, the instructor pointed to the sea of fire in front of him, and he was willing to force his eyes to rush in, but when he rushed over, he found that he had stepped into a large pit full of mud and sewage. The instructor roared like a madman, kicked with his feet, whipped with his whip, and drove the group of Indian recruits forward in the mud.

After two months of training, not to mention people, a pig is obedient, and only then does it come into contact with weapons, don't think that this is the end of suffering, then it would be a big mistake. What meal time is only three minutes, what in the middle of the night the instructor comes in, a scoop of cold water to wake you up, and then scolds people for not being vigilant enough, the whole class has to go out to run twenty laps, or run in full gear.

After mastering the dismantling of the weapon in hand and the use of other equipment, another month passed. In the fourth month, I started shooting practice, which was quite fresh at first, and for the next month, I practiced shooting every day in different patterns. Shooting in the march, standing, crouching, etc. At the end of the fourth month, when I thought that hell was far away, the instructor suddenly found out in his conscience and asked everyone to take a three-day vacation and go home to see, but if they did not come back before dark on the third night, they waited for the gendarmerie to catch and shoot the target, and they were punished as deserters.

If you just train and forget it, then it is really happy, training during the day is nothing, and two hours of political life at night is only life-threatening. The instructor turned into a demon and kept repeating in his ears, Daming is the greatest empire in the world, it is a happiness for you to become a member of Daming, and defending Daming is to ensure a better life for everyone now. Is life good? Anyway, Roa didn't think that he just wanted to escape from this hell as soon as possible. However, at the beginning of this idea, I quickly forgot that I was brainwashed repeatedly every day, and subconsciously felt that what the instructor was saying was the truth, in the words of the Indians, from God's guidance.

The fifth month is over. After the day's shooting practice, Roy and his companions were about to go back to shower, and then have a good meal for the evening's political life meeting. The kind instructor appeared, and everyone was frightened. Every time this instructor appears in this guise, there is certainly nothing good about it. Someone is bound to be unlucky.

Just when everyone was guessing who was today's unlucky bastard, the instructor suddenly turned into a dead face, and said in a very unhappy tone: "You idiots and bastards, I didn't plan to tell you now, but I think that in the past five months, everyone's performance has been good, and I decided to tell you good news in advance." I know what you're thinking, hmph, this time it's really good news. From this moment on. Your boot camp career is over. Tomorrow morning, you'll all have to fuck me off, and I can't stay if I want. Hmph, lucky for you, I was going to train for an extra month. ”

After saying that, the instructor turned around and left, and left. Leaving a platoon of recruits standing in a daze, an Indian soldier asked Rowa, one of the more striking boys, "Rova." Did you hear what the instructor said? "Roa is also stupid, the end of his rookie career? You can't stay if you want to. Because of the superior performance. Rowa, who became the platoon commander of the recruits, pinched his thigh hard, yes, he wasn't dreaming. The first reaction at the time was, "I've finally made it through." With that, Roy staggered. Sitting on the ground, howling and crying.

Yao Qisheng and Ye Hai returned to Tianjin at the same time, and as soon as they got off the boat, Yao Qisheng was taken away by the Ministry of Justice, and the documents presented were suspected of dereliction of duty and cooperated with the investigation. The gendarmerie was also waiting at the pier. All the officers and men who participated in the mutiny were picked up by the naval gendarmerie. The reason why I use the word "pick up" is that it is quite polite. But these officers and soldiers who participated in the mutiny knew that their military careers had come to an end. In the Ming military regulations, any mistake must be punished accordingly, and it is a big crime to resist military orders, even if the navy wants to protect them, they cannot escape the result of a first offender's imprisonment and accomplice retirement.

Ye Hai silently took out a pack of cigarettes, stuffed it to the pie captain who led the team, and said, "Brother, they are all good soldiers, give face, don't be too embarrassed." The captain pushed the cigarette back and said, "You're welcome, we don't feel good either." If we were on the ship, we would do the same. It's a pity that military law is like a mountain! Brother, we will do our best. ”

Ye Hai, who sent away the gendarmes, was quickly filled with joy. A young woman led a child to wait for him at the pier, and his wife and son, who had not seen him for many years, stepped forward and hugged him tightly, and the family was reunited, tears welled up.

"Mother's aftermath ......." At this time last year, his mother passed away, and Ye Haiyuan was in Europe, and it took half a year to learn the news. When he wanted to return to China, a major European incident broke out, and Ye Hai had always hidden this matter deep in his heart, and no one told him. Just quietly embroidered a black edge at the neckline.

"Mother's funeral is very glorious, and the old man also took the time to come, and everyone else who can come and can't come, has come. Someone wanted to come, but couldn't come. The wife didn't say it explicitly, and Ye Hai also knew that the person who couldn't come was Chen Jiye, and he could only stay in Java for the rest of his life. The father's defense of the royal family is really called strict defense, and his own son will not give him a chance.

With some emotion, when he saw a man in a black flying eagle uniform, standing upright by a carriage, Ye Hai was slightly moved, and stepped forward to salute: "Hard work." The man smiled: "Yes, I shouldn't have bothered at this time, but the situation has changed too suddenly, and Xiangye hopes to see you as soon as possible." ”

The family got into the carriage and went directly to the train station, Chen Xie's special train was waiting here, and Ye Hai rarely enjoyed the travel treatment of Xiangye. In just four hours, the train entered Jingshi Station, and the family was directly taken into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Sixteen-year-old Ye Yang looked curious, followed behind his parents, and looked around. It was the first time he had entered Beijing and the first time he had walked into this big courtyard. I used to hear about everything here, but now I see it with my own eyes.

Chen Xie actually stood in the courtyard, which flattered Ye Hai, the "filial piety" of these years can kill people.

"You take the children around the yard to familiarize yourself with the situation." Chen Xie explained to Ye Hai's daughter-in-law and took Ye Hai away. Entering the study, Ye Hai saw a familiar map of Europe, the throat of the Mediterranean, the fortress of Gibraltar, with a big red cross. Take a look at this map, you can understand Chen Xie's idea, it is very clear that the Ming Dynasty organized a fleet to set off from Mumbai, and then first cut off the territory of the Europeans in the Cape of Good Hope, and then bypassed the Cape of Good Hope and continued northward, and the final goal was Gibraltar. As for what the newspapers say about the Afrika Korps' land north, at first glance it is deceiving the people.

Looking at the map, Ye Hai knew very well what Chen Xie meant, and said unrelentingly: "What is the strength of the fleet?" ”

"Six new ironclads, twelve armored cruisers, this is the new European fleet. In addition, 30 sail warships were dispatched from the mainland and various parts of the South China Sea to escort the transport ships. The Naval Staff estimated that the warships of European countries at this time must be in full swing. Your fleet may face more than 200 sail warships. Chen Xie explained unhurriedly, Ye Hai nodded, and said disdainfully: "Native chicken and tile dog!" Don't worry! "This is what it means to use eighteen boats to beat more than 200 boats, and Chen Xie appreciates this arrogance.

Chen Xie opened the drawer, took out a flag from it, and handed it to Ye Haidao: "This is the Z-shaped flag that I hung when I fought against the Dutch fleet in the South Seas, and it has been well preserved for so many years." Now, over to you. What does the word Z mean? On the first day he entered the navy, Ye Hai learned this knowledge, which is the first letter of the pinyin of the word "Zhong". (Chen's nonsense is not nonsense, anyway, that's what is written in the textbook.) So far, the only thing that the Ming Navy can use the Z-shaped flag is Chen Xie's flagship. The other admirals and officers held up a red flag with a pattern of the Great Wall. It is used to mark the battle to the end and make the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as you get this Z-shaped flag and hang it up in battle, everyone knows that if Chen Xie is there in person, no one in the navy will dare not fight to the death. This flag is heavy in Ye Hai's hands, because it symbolizes that the navy will be entrusted to Ye Hai from now on. In the end, Chen Xie still made a choice. (To be continued......)
