Chapter 219 Celebration and Commendation Ceremony

Someone said: "Dahu Zhang, your family doesn't have many things, but you have the most daughters, why don't you marry a few short-haired ones? This old man has done a good job!"

Zhang Dahu is none other than Zhang Youfu, who is the representative of Guodu in the county.At this time, I drank a few more glasses, this wine was sent from Guangzhou "National Scholars Wushuang", very mellow, and not as easy to drink as Tu Shao, Zhang Youfu had already drunk too much, he was dizzy, and said with a smile: "That's right, no matter how many times my daughter can marry such an unfounded family—"

"You have no foundation. I am afraid that this property will be the number one in Lingao in the future." A landlord among them shook his head and sighed, "Let's just talk about this ice lion. I have never seen it in Lingao. I really don’t know where they get the ice. Even in Guangzhou, only the first-class people can get it!”

"It is said that it was shipped from Bopu, so I wondered, can ice be fished out of this sea?"

"Maybe it's their sorcery again." Someone whispered, "These short-haired people are very evil. Those automatic cars, iron oxen, don't talk about it, just the iron boats, no sails or oars... …How can it be moved if it is not the power of ghosts and gods?"

"But haven't you seen how they open the altar?"

"Can I tell you about this? Maybe there are boys and girls in it—"

"Boys and virgins? The county has never heard of any lost boys and girls."

"Then what are they doing to transport the children from the mainland one by one? Do they raise maids and servants? How much do they need?"

"Kun thief, one person, one maid, one servant, can cost thousands. What virgins, I think you are crazy because you want to be a fairy."

"Fairy? I think the life of this short-haired man is almost the same as that of a fairy!"

"That's right, but it's worth a lifetime to come here!" A landlord looked up at the chandelier on the ceiling, stared at the chandelier for a long time, and then sighed, "I have seen so many ignorant things, and eaten so many What I have eaten - I will bring my wife and children to experience it in the future."

Although the atmosphere in the banquet hall was warm and it seemed that the two sides were intimate, in fact, the inside and outside of the business hall were tight on the outside and tight on the inside: the army, the political security department, and the police were all on alert.Be ready to respond to possible situations at any time.

Compared with the pampered conference delegates, the security department is more worried about their entourage—these more than 400 people are mostly young and strong, and it will be a lot of trouble if they are tossed.In order to prevent their activities in Dongmen City from picking quarrels and provoking troubles, all these people were gathered together in the name of entertainment in the evening, and each of them was given a boxed meal, but there was no wine.Inside, the plainclothes team led by Zhou Shizhai mixed with the crowd and kept an eye on their movements.

"Everyone, cheer me up!" Dugu proposed in a black stab-proof suit, and said in a low voice.Surrounding him was the Dongmen City Police Station as the main force, mobilizing an emergency team composed of the Bairen Commune militia, all wearing rattan hard hats and rattan vests, armed with sticks and shields, ready to strike at any time.

"I said, is it necessary to face the enemy like this?" Dongmen Chuiyu felt a little overdone.An Army infantry company and six 6-pound mountain howitzers, all loaded with ammunition, were on standby at the camp outside Dongmen City.

Fang Jinghan sneered and said, "Hmph, if these hundreds of natives get into a commotion, can we suppress it? This is the heartland." He was seconded from the long-distance survey team to join the emergency team—because he knew a lot of dialects , What happened is easy to shout.

The dinner of the two groups of people inside and outside finally came to a harmonious end. The attendants who were squatting on the open space outside eating boxed lunch naturally didn't know that there were hundreds of people watching and ready to clean up their group at any time, and they all thought that the short-haired people treated them very well.

Then in the afternoon of the second day, a meeting was held to celebrate the defeat of Liu Xiang's gang in the newly completed Bairen Stadium.Originally, the executive committee had wanted to do it a long time ago. The original plan was to hold a small-scale ceremony and award prizes and medals to the combatants.But holding a political consultation meeting made them change their minds. The purpose of holding an exchange meeting with the top figures in each village is to expand their influence to the surrounding areas. Taking advantage of this opportunity to defeat the pirates, they should show these top figures on the ground what the crossing side is like. Strong strength and distinctive spirit.Decided to get a two-in-one in turn.Not only should there be a consultation meeting, but also a celebration meeting and a military parade.

It is for this purpose that the construction of the large stadium was carried out very quickly. In fact, the project volume of this stadium has only passed half of it so far. Although there are still quite a few parts that have not been completed, the main facilities have been completed. The standards seem grand enough.

A temporary wooden stepped stand was set up in the stadium to fill the delegates, and even their entourage was allowed to enter and sit in the stands slightly away from the rostrum.Wu De also gave Bairen Commune and the labor team a day off and organized everyone to watch the ceremony.There was no room for seats in the stands, so many people stood behind the lime line.Adults, children and women are so lively.The representatives of the various villages looked curiously at the tall stone building (in fact, it was covered with stones) that had not been seen before, and a large piece of grass-free, compacted open space under their feet-the vertical and horizontal dividing lines were drawn with lime powder .A lot of mounds and stakes were erected on the clearing by the river, and everyone was guessing what the shorthairs were going to do.

The colorful flags on the entire viewing platform fluttered in the breeze, just like the colorful nylon flags that would fly everywhere on festivals in another time and space.Around the stands, army sentries in first-year military uniforms, armed with bayonets, stood upright.

The people who traveled through the stands were in a different mood.Army officers and soldiers wearing gray octagonal hats, gray uniforms, and leggings have to remind people of the invincible myth of the weak to strong army in different time and space.Although it is clear that it is impossible to replicate the same army, I still use it as a benchmark in my heart to measure the army created, armed and completely owned by myself.

It is called a celebration meeting, but it is actually a demonstration to the county and the surrounding gentry. The parade started under the warm sun in Hainan's winter.

The sound of the tweeter gave the villagers and gentlemen the first surprise.When Wen Desi announced loudly in his out-of-tune Mandarin in Lingao accent that the Bopu Campaign Commendation Ceremony and the Bairen Security Corps Establishment Celebration Ceremony were now starting, the villagers and elders looked up in amazement. Standing on the platform, why did the sound come from the high poles on all sides, and it made the eardrums hurt and buzzing.This rough effect is completely different from the speakers placed on both sides of the rostrum in the cinema.

The first is to commend the people who have made great achievements in the Battle of Bopu, and read out the armbands of "Battle of Bopu Defense" awarded to 75 naval, army and military personnel including Lin Shenhe, Bai Yu, Mengde, and Wang Rui. Quan has this armband sewn on his uniform to reflect his battle honors.

110 non-military personnel including Dugu Propose, Tan Ming, and Qian Shuixie were awarded the "Bopu Defense War" shield, which can be sewn on any official uniform.

Subsequently, it was announced that all army, navy soldiers and labor collectives who participated in the Bopu Defense War would be awarded the "Bopu Defense War" commemorative medal, and an additional month's military salary would be issued. At the same time, 35 outstanding soldiers and laborers in the battle would be awarded For the second-class and third-class medals of military merit, two months and one month's extra military pay will be issued respectively.

All soldiers and laborers who died in battle, in addition to being buried in the "Cuigang Cemetery of Martyrs" according to military ceremonies, the Executive Committee also distributed pensions to their families. The immediate family members of the dead in battle can each receive 500 yuan of circulation coupons per year: All the children are admitted to the "Zhongshi School", and all food, lodging and clothing expenses are borne by the Executive Committee, and the parents of those who died in battle are taken care of by the FDC Committee.

This level of compensation can be said to be unprecedented. Not only the delegates at the meeting were dumbfounded, but even the soldiers, commune members and laborers couldn't believe it.Generally, no matter the officers and soldiers, the bravery of the village, or even the pirates and bandits, after fighting the dead, the family members of the brothers who died in battle should be compensated as usual.But this is the first time I have heard of such meticulous care of the bereaved.

"It's worth so much money to die alone!" Everyone in Lingao County gasped when Wen Desi said it loudly, and it was translated into various dialects. Humans only know the story of soldiers threatening to advance bravely with death through a last stand, and the truth that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward-but this is for the living, and the dead soldiers are not for themselves at all. It's useless, it's a great grace to give some pensions to the family members.No one has ever paid so much for the life of a soldier.

At this point, everyone in Lingao County began to realize that the army in Short Hair must be very different from the army and bandits in Daming - the lives of their soldiers are very valuable!

"This is probably nonsense. To deceive those ignorant grassroots to work for them." Huang Tingkun continued his propaganda.To be honest, he himself didn't quite believe it—the Australians fought so much, their court would have gone bankrupt sooner, unless Australia was full of gold and silver.

"Say it in public, An Neng just said it casually." Huang Tinkun didn't recognize the person who said this, he looked like a down-and-out scholar, but he definitely didn't go to school, he was a scholar who had gone to school, so naturally This kind of scholar who has no fame is looked down upon, just about to open his mouth to ridicule him.A representative who looked like a small landlord interrupted:

"I don't think I said it casually. There are still many honest people in Shorthair." He said that he went to the mill here in Lingao to grind grain. Pack the bags, weigh them one by one for him to check, and then collect the money according to the price, "There has never been any fraud in it." He admired, "Just based on this, I think they are trustworthy! "
