When the passengers on the steamer and sailing ship were awakened one after another, Bai Nan's head was completely enlarged.
There were more than 30,000 people on board the steamer. Except for nearly 10,000 soldiers who retreated from the mainland to Taiwan, most of the rest were ordinary people who were forced to leave their homeland. There were also some intellectuals who were unwilling to live under the red flag. Molecules, industrial and commercial people. What shocked Bai Nan even more was that among these ships there were actually transport ships transporting important industrial equipment and gold antiques and treasures for Bald Jiang.
As expected, the sailing ship was the Zheng He fleet that sailed to the Western Ocean. The number of people was about 20,000. It was not a neat Zheng He fleet. There were thousands of Ming Dynasty warriors on board, as well as diplomatic corps, craftsmen, doctors and even Prostitutes accompanying the army. In addition to a large amount of food, the supplies they brought also included various national treasures for exchanges with foreign countries, some goods purchased from Western countries, and even more than 200 purebred Akhal Tekin horses, also known as the legendary sweat-blooded horses. .
These are all secondary. The key is how many big names there are in the fleets on both sides. Among the people who were captured by about a hundred soldiers, there were two heavyweight generals. One was Xue Yue. This old man had not figured out the situation since he was captured. He thought he was retreating from Hainan Island back to the mainland of Taiwan. Captured. But it's not too wrong, because Bai Nan and the others are indeed. The other is Liu Fangwu, the general who once achieved the great victory of Ren'an and Qiang in Myanmar. He fled to Taiwan from the Northeast and also appeared here inexplicably. Then there is Zheng He's fleet. Eunuch Big H Three Treasures came here in person, but he was so nagging that he thought he had come to some foreign country, and he thought Bai Nan was a small king of a small country, and wanted him to take over the Ming Dynasty. credentials.
As one of the most prominent figures in the fleet, Bai Nan politely invited them to a conference room in the camp. Obviously Xue Yue, Liu Fangwu and others were not too surprised by these facilities, but they just wondered when the conditions were so good. However, Zheng He and several of his deputies were amazed and touched the glass windows for a while. , for a while I took a look at the bonsai placed inside the round conference table, and marveled at the photos of the Great Wall on the wall.
In addition to the people from the fleet, those who attended the meeting also included several representatives of the visiting people in the combat readiness camp. At this moment, the people who were originally in high spirits had roughly guessed that something terrible had happened, and people were panicking. As the main person in charge of the camp, Bai Nan invited the people to nominate several representatives to participate in this symposium that would decide everyone's fate. Among them There was a young man who was a military fan who was wearing a T-shirt from that year. His name was Li Sheng'an, and he was a white-collar worker at a local logistics company.
Although Xue Yue and others thought they were captured, they seemed to have no ill intentions toward them. Mr. Zheng He, however, thought he had arrived in some magical country and was only thinking about establishing diplomatic relations.
Bai Nan sat at the head of the conference table, coughed a few times and spoke: "Several citizen representatives, generals, and angels of the Ming Dynasty, it is a miracle that we can sit together today. Something beyond human imagination. It happened to us, bringing together three groups of people from the 14th century, 1949 and the 21st century in this place. According to the sextant measurement, we are now in Puget Sound on the west coast of the North American continent, which is Seattle. Considering its location and the degree of wilderness, I¡¯m afraid the Americans haven¡¯t established a colony here yet, and there¡¯s even a question mark over whether the United States will be established.¡±
When he said this, everyone was shocked. Due to their own limited knowledge, Zheng He and others were still confused. Xue Yue and others were stunned at first. Xue Yue said: "You mean, you are from a century later?" Are we in the continental United States of America? This is so unscientific
Zheng He sat upright and said dissatisfiedly: "Please ask this little prince to explain to us again."
Bai Nan could only say carefully: "Lord Angel, let's put it this way, the old man sitting next to you and his arrangements live in China 60 years after you, and I live in China 60 years after you. , you are all familiar historical figures to us. At this moment, we don¡¯t know which timeline we have been sent to, and we can¡¯t determine the date yet, but I speculate that it should be the 19th century when Americans fully developed the West Coast. Before, well, maybe your Ming court was still there."
Zheng He was shocked: "You mean you are all latecomers? And my Ming Dynasty has long ceased to exist?"
Xue Yue seems to be quite interested in this well-known eunuch in history. It is a great honor for a time traveler to meet a celebrity. He said: "The Ming Dynasty lasted three hundred years and was the second to last feudal dynasty in the history of our country."
Zheng He and others immediately fell into despair, and even several officials from the Ministry of Rites even cried in their arms. Some people knelt down and kowtowed to pay homage to the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty from afar.
On the contrary, Xue Yue and others were surprisingly calm. Perhaps they were already devastated by their defeat from the mainland and felt that they had no ambitions. Now without KNT and CP, there was only a group of lost foreign travelers, which made people feel that A little more relaxed.
?The representatives of the masses who visited the war preparation camp had different expressions on their faces, some were quite curious, some were trembling with fear, but few of them were as easy to show their expressions as Zheng He and other Ming Dynasty members.
Yao Weichun, an old man in his sixties who used to be the deputy director of a medical research institute in the city, said at this time: "No matter where we are or what year we are, there are now tens of thousands of people gathered here. We can¡¯t go anywhere, but how to survive should be the first priority. Although we all come from different eras, we are all sons and daughters of the Chinese nation. We should unite together to tide over the difficulties at this moment.¡±
Zheng He sighed, bowed to Yao Weichun and said, "The words of the elders are very kind, that's why."
Yao Weichun nodded and said: "With so many people from different eras, management is a big problem. If everyone works independently and ignores each other, it will only cause trouble. I propose that the three of us should merge and establish a preliminary government. Organize and manage us, young and old.¡±
He looked at Bai Nan again and said to everyone: "Major Bai graduated from a first-class university and studied management. He is wise and courageous and is recognized by everyone. I recommend Major Bai as the leader of our temporary organization."
One of Xue Yue's generals snorted and said: "What else can we do? We have been handed over by you. If we don't obey you, our lives will be at risk."
Bai Nan said: "You don't have to worry. Fundamentally, our interests are the same, which is to survive in this place, and each of the three of us has certain resources. Only when we combine can we form a great force. Today's discussion is just to finalize It is a temporary structure that can be continuously improved as our work slowly unfolds. I assure you that we will not seek any benefit from others for private purposes or for small groups.¡±
The people of the Ming Dynasty were still confused, but the people of the Republic of China, Old God Xue Yue, seemed to not care about anything, saying: "Since there are people who are willing to work hard, then I am willing to give way, haha, I, Mr. Xue, don't know where those people in the fleet came from. The immigrants who came here have no ability to restrain them, but the brothers under my command hope that Major Bai will treat them sincerely and don't bully me."
Bai Nan said with sincerity: "The grudge between General Xue and the CPC has been put aside in our time. It is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. I think it is stupid to be hostile to each other because of our identities and attributes, so I can do it here." I assure you, General Xue, that you and my comrades will be treated equally, without distinction between you and me."
During the banquet, a middle-aged man who was dressed in a rather rustic style and looked very honest said: "Fellow leaders, you can put other things aside. Now we have tens of thousands of people who need food, clothing and shelter. In the camp There are war preparation supplies and there is food in the fleet, which can last for a while, but in terms of housing, everyone cannot live on the ship. I am the chairman of Xingbao Infrastructure Group in the city, and I also worked as a contractor little by little. If you get up, I propose to gather manpower now to harvest wood, bake bricks and build houses for us immigrants to live in. "
Bai Nan nodded and said: "That's great, General Xue and Master Zheng, now let's gather together the talented people from both sides in construction, and then match the manpower, and try our best to ensure that everyone can have it as soon as possible. There are thousands of military tents in our warehouse that can be temporarily used by everyone.
We briefly discussed the matter of infrastructure construction, and there were no big differences. A real estate developer named Lei Chong has summoned knowledgeable people to start surveying and mapping the terrain and planning and layout of the building complex.
After coordination, everyone present, including Bai Nan, Shao Dawei, Xu Daorun, Yao Weichun and others, plus Xue Yue and Liu Fangwu from the Republic of China, Zheng He and Hong Bao from the Ming Dynasty, formed the Chuanchuang Provisional Decision-making Committee. Bai Nan serves as the chairman of the interim committee.
Then Xu Daorun suggested: "If it was before the 19th century, there should be a certain number of Indians in the Seattle area. Although we have a large number of people, we must not take it lightly. We now have more than 200 war horses, and we should choose Send out a group of warriors who can ride horses and use rifles to form a cavalry patrol to guard our entire camp and port area to ensure safety. In addition, our three families have a large number of soldiers. It seems that it is not necessary now and they are streamlined. The size of the army and its training to maintain combat effectiveness are top priorities, so we should establish a dedicated military team that is responsible to the decision-making committee, divided into two parts: the army and the navy."
Although it was said that the army was to be established, the command rights were only nominal matters. Everyone decided that Xue Yue would be the commander-in-chief of the army, and Xu Daorun would be the deputy commander-in-chief of the army. But in fact, Xu Daorun made a move in the subsequent reorganization of the army. hands and feet. Dozens of PLA officers who came to the camp because of blind dates were sent into the team by Xu Daorun and became grassroots officers to control the troops. The Army was only reduced to the size of a brigade of more than 36 people, which essentially belonged to the military power of the modern Republic of China. Xue Yue knew it well but did not reveal it.
As for the navy, Zheng He, who didn¡¯t understand the principles of steamships, was given the responsibility. Considering that the navy would not be needed for a while, soHe was also mainly in charge of sailors, and trained his deployment to become familiar with modern weapons such as Nl3-Springfield rifles.
