Chapter 46, the entanglement of the Yellowstone Marshal

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, on the fifth day of the first month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, the commercial plaza of the Vladivostok base of the Far Eastern Group Company

An incredible and magical gateway that spans time and space stands in the middle of this square.

-- At the other end of the door is the world of flowers in modern China in the 21st century.

Five centuries of time are wonderfully connected in this place.

Many people are coming and going, going in and out of this door. From time to time, teams of trucks spraying camouflage paint pull out and drive in.

For the time-travelers stranded in this world, this is a door to say goodbye to the wild time and space and return to the civilized world.

At this time, a Ming Dynasty general wearing Mingguang armor and scarlet coat on his shoulders was standing in front of the door with a sword, and he was so excited that he burst into tears.

This incredible, unbelievable dream scene that he had never thought of and could not think of, finally appeared right under his nose.

-- He is the oldest time-traveler in this time and space, a legendary general who is famous in the East, and the commander of Huangshi, the general soldier of Fujian in the Ming Empire.

In the past few days, Yellowstone's mind has been subjected to several violent and earth-shaking stimuli in a row:

First of all, on Jeju Island in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, when he stood on the deck of the Haitian and saw the crocodile-class landing ship of the Far Eastern Company flying the five-star red flag for the first time, he thought that he had once again traveled through time and space and returned to modern times, and he couldn't help but be very excited. But then I learned that this was just another crossing group called the "Far East Company", and I couldn't help but be very depressed...... Then, noticing the gorgeous military equipment of the Far Eastern Company equivalent to the Cold War level, the famous general Huang Shi of the seventeenth century, he couldn't help but worry about the fate of the Lingao Senate on Hainan Island, which was still playing steampunk, and all the other time-traveling people in this world - could it be that the future world was destined to be conquered by these fierce men from the north?

Next, when the commander of Huangshi, who was deeply depressed because he learned that there was no hope of returning home, after some relatively civilized interrogation, was placed under house arrest by the Far East Company in a military camp on Jeju Island, lying on a straw mat tossing and turning. Before he could digest the huge amount of information on this day, another unprecedented upheaval occurred in Vladivostok -- the Chinese People's Liberation Army in the 21st century descended on Vladivostok? The new Chinese government forcibly took over the Far East Company and announced the overall arrangement of the crossing affairs? Hey, is it possible for the future Chinese government to set up a space-time management bureau?

Next, Huangshi, who was a little dizzy because of the overload of information, almost thought that he was dreaming, was sent to a crocodile-class landing ship by the Far Eastern Company at the clear request of the "central man", and rushed to Vladivostok as fast as possible.

However, when Huang Shi was really standing in front of Vladivostok's space-time gate, and he could go back as long as he opened his legs, he hesitated.

-- Because, since Huangshi first came to the end of the Ming Dynasty, he has lived in this world for thirteen years.

After going through so many things, Huangshi has already changed from the high-spirited and reckless young man to a middle-aged man with gray temples - the arduous experience of fighting in the south and the north and sleeping in the open in the open in the past few years has given Huangshi some signs of decay before aging.

However, in the modern world opposite, the speed of time passes much slower - at this time, Huangshi has already learned from the conversation with Wang Qiu and others that in the opposite modern world, the crossing of the "Fengcheng Ship" of the 500 people in Lingao was only a little more than a week ago. According to this calculation, even the time before he said goodbye to his parents and went to Lingnan to participate in the adventure through time and space was only one or two months.

In this way, a certain inherently mysterious trouble arises: if you walk into this time and space gate and return to the warm home in your memory, how should Huang Shi explain to his parents that in just one or two months, your son will suddenly become thirteen years old, and even have a daughter-in-law and daughter?

Well, it is indeed a troublesome problem that gets tangled up to stomach pain.

- Actually, this problem is not without a solution, in fact, Huang Shi can completely pull down his face and beg Wang Qiu or Doraemon to use [Time Baggage] to make him younger. But since Huang Shi was too embarrassed to speak up and didn't dare to mention it, Wang Qiu naturally wouldn't have thought of it.

What's more, in this world, Huangshi also has an inseparable bond for a long time.

“…… Hey, after thinking about it, I can't think about what to say after meeting my parents, so I'd better go back next time anyway, there are still many opportunities, right? When the time comes, you can also bring the wife and little girl from the family in Fujian, and let the second elder of the family see the granddaughter......"

After hesitating for a long time, Huang Shi finally turned around and said to Wang Qiu, who was accompanying him, "...... I need a little time to prepare mentally ......"

“…… I can understand this, Yellowstone seniors. Wang Qiu nodded, but then added, "...... However, even if you haven't figured out how to meet your parents yet, it's best to go back first. There's a retired veteran over there who wants to meet you......"

“… Retired to the Ministry? Did I know him? Huang Shi's expression seemed a little confused.

“…… Well, I think you definitely recognize him. Wang Qiu replied vaguely, "...... Let's go, don't make people wait. ”

So, with a fog, Huang Shi was dragged into the space-time gate by Wang Qiu's hand in such a daze, came to a place that looked like a military base, and then was taken into an office in a certain building. A computer in the room has been opened for video communication, and according to Wang Qiu's introduction, the retired old man Yu Bu, who is far away, is about to have a remote video conversation with Huang Shi...... Next, looking at the rather familiar majestic old man who appeared on the screen, Huang Shi suddenly became a spirit, and his whole body seemed to become stiff.

-- In the 17th century, Yellowstone was not a shallow person. He once fought wits and courage with two historical celebrities, Wei Zhongxian and Huang Taiji, and he also treated him calmly in front of the two top powers in the East Asian world, the Emperor of the Apocalypse and the Emperor Chongzhen (when he was not yet on the throne). As for the second-rate monarchs such as the king of the Ryukyus, the lord of the Satsuma domain, and the lord of the Choshu domain, he could look down at will.

However, in front of the big man who once ruled over a population of 1.3 billion people on the screen, Huangshi still felt his own insignificance and inner shock.

“…… Uh, hello, President Hu, it's a pleasure to meet you...... I, um, I wonder if you have something to look for me? ”

-- Although Huangshi had already experienced a lot at this time, and it seemed that he could not talk about sincere fear, a moment of shock and nervousness was inevitable.

Therefore, not only did his expression become very stiff, but he also stammered a little because of nervousness when he spoke.

“…… Hehe, young man, don't be so restrained, I've already retired, and now I'm just a retired old man, I want to talk to you. Alright, let's hurry. Can you first talk about your war experience on the side of the Ming Dynasty, especially your feat of breaking into Liaoyang alone and killing Nurhachi with your bare hands, what happened? A few idle old men on our side are very interested in this......"

“…… That's what a reputation you've made. I was also forced to take a gamble. That's actually what it's all about......"

At that moment, Huang Shi felt as if he had returned to his childhood, once again becoming an elementary school student who was being questioned by the head teacher......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

At the same time, Wang Qiu moved to another office next door to discuss some trivial chores with Director Ma, Professor Guo and several others.

Specifically, it is to wipe the butts of those time-travelers who are happy to return to modern time and space.

“…… Well, given the limited capacity of the space-time gate, we really can't think of a suitable way to get that miniature submarine back - we can use Doraemon's [Shrinking Light] to turn it into a model airplane over there, but we can't restore it in this world. Therefore, the navy said that the miniature submarine would be lost in another world, and there was no danger of leaking secrets anyway. Then, the ten frogmen, ten naval officers and one agent on the submarine, as well as the thirty-seven Far East Company traversers who had applied for withdrawal, had all returned safely to this world. ”

Touching the tablet in his hand, Wang Qiu reported to Director Ma, "...... But the trouble is that they left with no one to clean up the mess - since the government is going to take over Vladivostok, the managing directors of the Far Eastern Company have left the matter to us. ”

“…… Yes, deduct those good comrades who didn't look for girls over there and the guys who came back with women, there are still eighteen ancient women abandoned by negative men on this side of Vladivostok who need to be resettled...... It's just the same as the scene when the intellectual youth returned to the city after going to the mountains and going to the countryside. ”

Professor Guo smoked a cigarette and said with some disgust, "...... I was so busy fleeing back to the modern world that I was looking for that woman I was looking for that there that I left behind...... It's really a bunch of irresponsible guys who are just like those prodigals who casually engage in women in modern society, alas, fortunately they haven't traveled through ancient times for a long time, and they haven't given birth to children, otherwise I'm afraid they will have to abandon their children."

“…… Well, that's hard to say, Professor. Wang Qiu raised his eyebrows, "...... Although the women had not yet had time to give birth to children because of the relatively short period of time they had lived together, five of the girls were already pregnant—the longest of which had just turned five. ”

“…… Tsk, this is really abandoning his wife and children, it's just a bunch of scum, but we still have to wipe the ass of these scumbags......"

Director Ma pursed his lips with some disdain, "...... Have you already come up with a corresponding disposal plan? Comrade Xiao Wang? ”

“…… Well, I discussed it with Professor Guo and thought that I could make up a white lie about these women, saying that their men were ordered to go on a long journey, so they left Vladivostok urgently. After a period of time, a death notice was sent to them, announcing that their men had died in battle, and that they could henceforth enjoy the treatment of the martyrs' families, and each person would be given a large sum of food, refined salt, cloth, etc., and the house they originally lived in would also be allocated to them, which could be regarded as compensation for the purchase out. Whether they are widowed or remarried next is up to them......"

Wang Qiu replied, "...... Director, what do you think of the idea we discussed? Will it work? ”

“…… In principle, there should be no problem. You just go and arrange it," Director Ma waved his hand happily, "...... However, you must hurry, according to the spirit of the central government's instructions, we cannot delay too long in the ice and snow of Vladivostok, but need to set off to Hainan Island to occupy the place, and some of the old Yu troops are almost unable to wait...... How are the preparations going in Vladivostok? When can I go? ”

“…… A qiē is going according to plan, Director. Wang Qiu smiled confidently, "...... By tomorrow at the latest, all the work on Vladivostok's side will be temporarily over, and we will stage the most shocking stage performance on Hainan Island at the end of the Ming Dynasty."
