Chapter 89: Changing the Flag of Dengzhou Town (Part 2)
At the end of July of the fifth year of Chongzhen, just as the Dengzhou rebels repeatedly defeated the imperial troops in Pingdu Prefecture, three crocodile-class landing ships flying the five-star red flag and the August 1st Army flag suddenly appeared on the sea level of Weihaiwei. On top, he looked majestic and unkind.
As a result, Weihaiwei's Dengzhou general's camp suddenly exploded. Unfortunately, facing the towering iron ship, no one could do anything. In the end, Liu Minyou, who was still seriously injured, dragged his sick body and presided over the negotiation of these "big iron ships"... Then, through the micro radio station sent by several "naturalized civilian" soldiers on the landing ship on rubber rafts, Liu Minyou was surprised to contact the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army in the 21st century...
Next, the other party's request was naturally logical - Yi Zhi surrendered and accepted the adaptation...or "return to the embrace of the organization."
Just like the previous situation at Vladivostok Far East Company and Hainan Island Lingao Traveler Senate, all those time travelers who have prospered usually have an arrogant mentality that they consider themselves "protagonists of the times" and are generally not willing to do so. There is one more boss above your head, let alone an organization.
However, as rational leaders, Chen Xin and Liu Minyou also know how overwhelming the governments in the modern world are, far beyond the capabilities of Zhuan Yu's declining Ming Dynasty. I just don’t know how much power can be put into this world across the barrier of distant time and space?
Then, just as Chen Xin hurried back to Weihaiwei from the front line to discuss this sudden drastic change with Liu Minyou, the relevant departments used the final weapon of decisive battle - taking away Chen Xin and Liu Minyou's parents in the modern world Come over and do their son’s ideological work
"...Xiao Xin! Listen to dad's advice and agree to the government's adaptation! Anyway, this condition is not too much!"
"...Son! You and Chen Xin must not do stupid things and go against the government! Otherwise, our whole family will suffer!"
"...Xiaoxin, I know you have been ambitious since you were a child, but you have to understand that your arms can't twist your thighs! Besides, it doesn't matter if you are asked to do what others do. In the past, when you were a manager in a company, you still had to listen to the directors. If it’s long, aren’t you working for the emperor even here?”
"...Tsk, tsk, Xiaoyou! The conditions in this poor place are so miserable. There is no electricity or running water. Lighting candles at night will make your eyes go blind. If you really can't stand it, just come back! But you are here Mom is quite satisfied with the wife you married. She is much better than the girlfriend you found before! In the blink of an eye, we both had a grandson... By the way, our eldest grandson is called What’s the name?”
……
Faced with the offensive of family affection from his parents, the inhumane warlord Chen Xin and the general manager Liu Minyou had no choice but to retreat in cold sweat, and then began to negotiate with the relevant departments for recruitment and treatment in despair. After a long process, After negotiations, Dengzhou Town finally joined The East Asia Republic under the Hua League (Global Chinese Travelers Alliance, Hua League for short) is led by Chen Xin as the commander of the Shandong Front Army. The 30,000 Dengzhou Army under his command is still under his command, but in terms of grand strategy, he must obey the commander-in-chief of the East Asia Theater Huang Shi. command, while Liu Minyou served as governor of Shandong Province.
Well, facing Huang Shi, a super star who has been famous all over the world for more than ten years, Chen Xin felt that it was not very aggrieved to listen to his command.
Due to such an explosive event in the rear, the offensive of the Dengzhou Army on the front line naturally had to stop - just how to explain this drastic change to their subordinates made Chen Xin and Liu Min very troubled. In addition, the two big bosses also have personal issues to deal with...
——In the modern world, Chen Xin is married, but he deliberately pursued the daughter of a director as his wife. His wife’s appearance is a few steps worse than Chen Xin’s. It has always been regarded as a political marriage. It is said that the woman is There are still unclear lovers out there... Liu Minyou is not married in the modern world, but he has a girlfriend Yin Wanqiu whom he has been dating for many years and is sincerely dependent on. They are already talking about marriage. Unfortunately, due to the limited financial resources of the family, they could not even afford a new house. The parents of his girlfriend Yin Wanqiu strongly opposed their marriage and asked Liu Minyou to buy a house of 105 square meters no matter what. Liu Minyou, who had only been working for a few years, had limited savings on hand, and his parents did not have much savings, was very worried about this.
When Liu Minyou followed Chen Xin through time to the end of the Ming Dynasty, after all kinds of hardships, he finally made a career in Dengzhou and became the overlord of the party, not to mention an apartment of 105 square meters, it was 10,500 square meters. A large manor with an area of square meters can be obtained at your fingertips at the first thought (find a gentry who doesn't like it, send troops to slaughter all the people, and you can get a beautiful big house with a garden). Unfortunately, times have changed, and now Liu Minyou has already married and established a business in Weihaiwei, with a wife and children. But suddenly he met his ex-girlfriend Yin Wanqiu who came across time and space, and his claws were immediately numb.
"...You are cruel, you are cold, you are selfish, you are heartless, and you have no conscience! Liu Minyou! You philandering bitch! I am not done with you!"
"...Uh, um, Wanqiu, I'm a little sorry for you...but you don't have to go so far!"
"...Oh! This is too much! I stayed there for you, and my parents tried to persuade me to break up with you, a poor boy, every day, but I didn't even listen! But when you got here, you immediately hid in the golden house. You're so cute! If you're not a bitch, who else is a bitch?"
"...Hey, how can this be the same? Don't bully me. I don't know. The flow of time on both sides of the space-time channel is completely different! You only stayed in the modern world for more than two months, but I was here in the late Ming Dynasty. Stayed for five full years! ”
"...Liu Minyou!! It's actually reasonable to cheat on someone? Is this the reason for your cheating? You should tell me! Before each other, we promised to love me for the rest of our lives. Is this the case? ? Why did you change your mind just a few years ago? Hey, everyone, come and comment on me!"
……
Liu Minyou, who was originally an honest man, felt guilty and at a loss for words, so he had to admit defeat in front of his ex-girlfriend's sharp words.
However, as the saying goes, a done deal can never be recovered - Liu Minyou certainly cannot abandon his wife and children, and Yin Wanqiu is not interested in sharing a man with several ancient women... So Yin Wanqiu accepted a box of gold bars and two pieces of gold presented by Liu Minyou. Ten pieces of authentic mink skins, fifty natural wild ginseng roots, and a bag of natural gemstones were given as breakup compensation, and he left in anger, never to return. And Liu Minyou was sad and guilty for this for a long time...
As for the other side, Chen Xin also divorced his wife, whom he had little affection for in the first place... It is said that the process was much easier than Liu Minyou's.
During this period, the two of them completely forgot about the recruitment documents sent by the Imperial Envoy Xu Guangqi and Mr. Xu Ge from Jinan. However, because the Dengzhou Army on the Pingduzhou front line stopped attacking and even showed signs of retreating, the Shandong officers and soldiers immediately celebrated. Xu Guangqi was also complacent, thinking that his persuasion was effective, so he worked harder to pick up the letter. Letters were sent to Dengzhou one after another.
——Although the two big bosses in Dengzhou Town have no intention of dealing with this oldest Westernization scholar-official in China at this time.
(Xu Guangqi, an expert in Western learning in the late Ming Dynasty, once experimented with cultivating American crops and translated "Elements of Geometry". His ancestral home is now Xujiahui, Shanghai.)
At the moment, Chen Xin and Liu Min have the most urgent tasks. The first is to solve the extremely serious ideological confusion problem in the Dengzhou Army after the change of flag. Although the so-called adaptation this time is really loose, strictly speaking, it is Although the brand has been changed and a new boss has been added, all the organizational structures within the Dengzhou Army have remained unchanged (it will be restructured only after the war situation eases. to create an organizational structure similar to the modern army such as "squad, platoon, company, battalion, and regiment", and to develop a corresponding set of military ranks for officers at all levels), but almost everyone in Dengzhou Town still cannot understand why they have to submit to a group of overseas short-haired people. Lower your head... If this problem is not solved properly, I am afraid that there will soon be various mutinies and escapes within the Dengzhou Army.
Fortunately, the popularity of the legendary General Huang Shi, the supreme commander of the Huamei East Asia Theater, in the north played a very good role at this time - even in the teahouses of Dengzhou, there were storytellers singing "Huang Gongbao crossed the sea to aid Juehua" (Island), the fierce commander "killed the slave chieftain of Liaoyang". Moreover, in Dengzhou Town, there were originally many refugees from Liaodong, and even some of Huangshi's old tribes (when Huangshi moved the town south to Fujian, a small number of collateral factions did not leave), so for people in Dengzhou Town, Many people can still accept being a subordinate of such a victorious hero.
Of course, all kinds of confusion in people's hearts and minds are inevitable. Therefore, Chen Xin ordered people to strengthen ideological education, and at the same time invited Allied airships and aircraft to "inspect" the various parts of Dengzhou Town to show its powerful force and prevent anyone from having unreasonable ideas and shamelessly asking the superiors for help. For welfare, I hope Marshal Huang can give some rewards such as canned food, fruit knives, and field rations to the Dengzhou Army.
In addition, Liu Minyou hopes that the Huameng Headquarters can support the farmers in Tunpu, Dengzhou as soon as possible with a batch of high-yield potatoes, cold-resistant corn and other high-quality crops, and preferably some chemical fertilizers, so that local farmers can return to their homes in the shortest possible time. , at least let them accept the fact that Dengzhou Town changed its flag relatively calmly - usually farmers are very realistic, and as long as they are given benefits, they will not be easily incited to rebel.
Unexpectedly, after Wang Qiu, who came with the landing ship, learned about this, in order to achieve a sensational effect, he actually got a batch of 22nd century agricultural black technology products from the Doraemon world and sent them over... So, watching from The "magic wheat" that only takes seven days from sowing to harvesting, There is also a [Plant Modification Injection] that can make elm trees bear fruits of "Curry Box Rice", "Cream Cake" and "Shrimp Soup Noodles". All the farmers in Dengzhou were shocked and cried with joy, and directly put the fruits on the "big iron ship" The "short-haired man" came to worship as a god or a Bodhisattva! Don't dare to neglect at all.
As for the people's resistance to the new ruler, who was very worried in advance, naturally disappeared in an instant... In addition to letting Dengzhou Town accept the drastic change of the army and the rule of the "Chinese League", Chen Another urgent problem that Xin and Liu Min need to face is how to solve the problem of refugees in the occupied areas of the Shandong Peninsula.
