Chapter 183 Building a Harmonious Lingao Together ([-])

After the prisoner interrogation work was over, there were disagreements about the whereabouts of the prisoners.

According to the usual prisoner work procedures, after being interrogated, screened and registered, all the prisoners in combat have to go through the "purification" procedures, and then they are incorporated into the labor reform team, which is under the unified control and management of Wu De.

This time the battle captured prisoners of various nationalities.There was nothing special about it, and everyone was treated equally as a coolie.However, the navy proposed to directly recruit and retain two Spaniards—the people who traveled through time and space knew very little about the sailing technology of large sailing ships in this time and space, and these two Spaniards knew more or less.

However, a group of nationalists headed by Dugu Proposal resolutely opposed such preferential treatment: this kind of Spanish scum, they all got on the ship with the hope of robbing and making a fortune off the coast of China. Even if it is lenient to die in Bopu, but to keep it, it is down-to-earth fawning.

The navy eventually fell under the banner of nationalism.Even President Wen, who has always favored them, refused to support them.Mr. Wen's reasoning is simple: "This is against the regulations."

Of course, it cannot be said that these two Spaniards did not receive preferential treatment. They were able to mix with Indian captives and form a labor team-although the three are not compatriots of the Spaniards, at least they can speak some Spanish, so they can communicate and communicate, so as not to be too lonely .As for the Malay pirates, no one cared about their fate.After a simple screening, they were directly escorted to work in the quarry.

Tan Ming came out of the Bopu health center with trembling legs. The experience last night was a narrow escape for him.Although he jumped the cover very quickly, when he retreated, the enemy's shells roared behind him and the stones flew around, which was really exciting enough. The 80-style steel helmet, I am afraid that the brain has already bloomed.

Fortunately, there is only a little scratch... I don't know if I can live in the future...

Touching the gauze on his head, the wound treated with iodine was still throbbing and throbbing.Damn, aren't these days the same as before? !No, not as good as before!

Tan Ming has worked as a security guard, as a migrant worker, as an oil worker, as a power leveler for online games when he was extremely bored, as a printing press in a carton factory, and finally as an office furniture seller.But no matter what kind of work you do, there is no danger to your life.Now they have to fight desperately under artillery fire.He couldn't help seriously doubting whether he could live to the day when the revolution succeeded.

He casually took out a cigarette case from his pocket - as a militiaman, he could be allocated one pack of cigarettes per month.The cigarette case was waterproof and pressure-proof, and he was always careful about his possessions.

Because of the fighting the day before, the executive committee notified all combatants to take a day off today,

He squatted at the door and took a few sips to soothe his nerves. He was very hungry, but he didn't want to eat at all. The things in the cafeteria were just a few things without oil or meat, except for fish, shrimp and rice. , everything is a scarce commodity.Back then when I worked on a construction site, I could always eat enough spare ribs and chicken legs every day.

The more I think about it, the more annoyed I am, why did I come to participate in the time-traveling?He wobbled back to his dormitory.There was a notice letter from the executive committee on the bed, and when I opened it, there was a special supply coupon inside——Tan Ming's mood rose a lot at once.

There was also a notice that Zhang would issue an additional bonus of 500 points, but this kind of virtual figure was not very attractive to Tan Ming.Not as good as special coupons.

This kind of special supply voucher is specially for the supply of scarce materials. It is generally issued to traversers who perform dangerous and heavy physical labor. A voucher can be exchanged for cigarettes and other things that have not yet been produced in this time and space at the planning committee: such as candy, cola, etc. Class, or in the cafeteria for a bowl of instant noodles, which added vegetables and an egg.

There is also an invitation card with the coupon—made of local earthen paper: invite him to attend the "Celebration and Commendation Conference" in a few days.

That's about the same.Tan Ming thought that at any rate, he still thought of those of us who contributed to the bloodshed, and the cadres of the executive committee were not too bastards.

After discussion, the executive committee decided to give the following rewards to the participants in the Battle of Bopu:

Awarded the armband and shield of "Battle of Bopu".The former is awarded to military personnel and the latter to non-military personnel participating in combat.

The armband of the Battle of Bopu is made of woolen material, with white characters on a red background and a width of 30mm. The word "Bopu" in official script is stitched on it, and the year 1628 is printed underneath.Military personnel receiving this honor may sew the armband on the left sleeve of their military uniform.

The coat of arms, originally supposed to be metal, but the industrial sector could not find a suitable cheap material, and finally decided to use the same cloth.The main body is a shield with a flat top. Inside the shield is the shadow of a black ship under the shining rays of light. Under the shadow of the ship is a broken mast, symbolizing the victory of the crossing army against the pirates.At the bottom is the words "Bopu 1628".This coat of arms can be sewn onto any official uniform.

Other material rewards are that, if you travel through the crowd, you will be issued a special supply coupon; and you will be issued a bonus point coupon of 200 points.

The locals issued 25 kilograms of salt coupons and 4 kilograms of rice coupons.Salt coupons can be exchanged for salt at salt shops with the coupons, and some salt vendors will also buy them, so it is equivalent to a negotiable securities.

Finally, the battle situation of the day will be summarized and sorted out, and meritorious personnel with outstanding performance will be evaluated and awarded.

Wu Mingjin sat in the signing room, very depressed.

Three months have passed since this group of thieves came ashore.Chinese New Year is coming soon.Not only did they not leave, but they built bigger and bigger houses, and built more and more houses, and even the market became more and more prosperous.

In the salt field of Ma Niao, they had a dispute with the Gou family.This Gou's family is connected to pirates on the outside and the local yamen on the inside. He is a deep-rooted local tyrant, and the county magistrate can only pretend to be deaf and dumb to his evil deeds.He originally had the idea of ​​two tigers fighting each other, even if he couldn't beat them away for a while, he could still lose both.Unexpectedly, the thieves beat Gou's house like swat flies, and the Gou's house was wiped out in a few days.Even Gou Er, who was deeply rooted in the city, fled away.

Fortunately, this group of aliens from Australia finally knew the Ming Dynasty's royal law.The salt tax, foreign items, and miscellaneous amounts that should be paid by the salt farm village have all been paid.This somewhat relieved him.However, this group of "Kun people" used the excuse that the road to the city was not good for paying the salt tax, so they insisted on repairing the road to the Wenshui Bridge, and then simply built a two-story tower by the Wenshui Bridge.Now there are people in the tower on the second floor who are watching every day-it goes without saying that they are monitoring the development of the county.

This is not counted, the Kun people are still recruiting troops in the name of running a regiment, and it is said that thousands of people have been recruited.They are all equipped with muskets and cannons, and they train there every day.There were also many more ships in Bopu Bay, and Wu Mingjin knew that he had completely fallen into the sphere of influence of this group of Kun people.Now unless the imperial court sends officers to beat them away, how long they can stay in this county depends on how long the other party is willing to let him stay here.Once a fight really broke out, Wu Mingjin had no doubt that the shameless yamen servants in the city would open the city and surrender without hesitation.

All the documents asking for suppression sent to Fucheng fell into disrepair, and the letter I wrote to Guangdong and entrusting activities in Guangzhou in the same year did not follow.However, Dongmen City has become the most prosperous market in the county, and there is an endless stream of people going to Dongmen City from the main road in front of the county town every day.The county's grain is pouring in like a tide, and private salt is pouring out like a tide.

His dignified Qipin Zhengtang magistrate has no choice but to stand on the tower and watch. The county has no money, food, and soldiers, and it is just guarding the isolated city.

Recently, he got news that the thieves had destroyed Baitu Village——he didn't care about breaking up Baitu Village. This village itself was a gathering of fugitives from other places. It had nothing to do with the county, but From this action, he smelled a sense of uneasiness—the tentacles of the thieves were about to extend to all parts of the county.

Sure enough, within a few days, Baojia from various villages came secretly to report: the Kun thieves notified the leaders of the villages and villages on the east and west banks of the Wenlan River to gather in Bairen City.

Of course Wu Mingjin didn't know what "surrounding the city from the countryside" meant, but he still understood the meaning of this move.He hurriedly sent Wu Ya, Fu Bowen and other civil and military officials from the county to visit the villages, warning them not to collude with the thieves, and vowed that "once the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court arrive, the thieves will be ashes. Good luck."Some of the villages were shaken and frightened again.

While thinking about countermeasures, someone suddenly reported: The thieves have sent someone!

Wu Mingjin was shocked all over. He sent someone early this morning to find out what happened to the sound of cannons that rang all night last night and the flames of the museum.Now the people haven't come back, but the thieves came first.

In order to avoid suspicion, he never met the envoys sent by the gangsters in person, and always had his master meet on his behalf.But this time the matter is of great importance, we must find out what kind of medicine the thieves are selling in their gourds.

"Master, please come here!" He ordered, "Change clothes! Ascension hall!"

"Shengtang?" The yamen servant couldn't believe his ears, didn't all the guests come to the flower hall?It's not about letting the case go to trial, what is the promotion?

"That's right, Shengtang!"

As a messenger, Xiong Buyou led more than ten people into the city.Wang Ruixiang led the team, fully armed, carrying an engineer axe, and led twelve selected soldiers, all of whom were over 170cm tall, with rifles on their backs and sharp bayonets.Finally, seven or eight wheelbarrows with bundles and wooden boxes strapped to them.

What kind of county is this?The towns in the poorest counties in our hometown are all 100 times more prosperous than it.The only road that crosses the whole city is finally made of stone. There are a few shops on both sides of the road, but the houses are very low and dilapidated. Yamen is gone.

This team swaggered into the city, and Xiong Buyou held a large envelope in his hand, which contained a letter from the Executive Committee to County Magistrate Wu.People on the street were standing on the sidelines, pointing at them, a few children in ragged clothes suddenly ran up to him, and said in an indistinct but obviously Mandarin accent: "Sugar, Tang."

Xiong Buyou was overjoyed, he didn't expect that the method of distributing chewing gum that the executive committee learned from the American devils would still be useful.

After sprinkling a handful of sugar and going out, the team had already reached the gate of the county government office.The drum on the wall at the gate of the yamen has not been knocked on for a long time, and it is covered with a thick layer of dust. There is an official boot full of dust in the official boot box hanging again.A group of people walked in with the yamen servant.Wang Ruixiang said a few words to the soldiers, and every time he passed a gate, two soldiers were left behind.

Seeing that he was led to the lobby, Xiong Buyou was wondering, when he heard the side door slam, a middle-aged man in his forties, with a fair face and well-maintained, appeared in the lobby in official robes.The attendants hurriedly shouted:

"Master Wu has been promoted!"

After knocking three times, the yamen servants walked in with water and fire sticks in their hands and walked in with a "Oh--" and lined up like wild goose wings.All was quiet again.
