The two Qing Dynasty merchants were discussing their long-term interests while the transmigrators were also busy. Other than training the newly formed urban management team and trying to get them to work as soon as possible, they were also looking for all kinds of information, observing the terrain, confirming their addresses, and other trivial matters…
At this time, the two fishing boats that had come from Dongjia Island had arrived. When Li Hailong and the others received the notice, they quickly put down their work and led their team to the dock to welcome them.
When he arrived at the dock area, he saw two fishing boats docked beside the anti-smuggling boat. Captain Wang and Zhao Liang were waiting for him on the shore.
"Xiao Li, let's go and welcome them together!”
"Ah, Captain Wang, why did I trouble you to wait?”
"We're not familiar with them yet. Without waiting for you to introduce them to us, we won't be able to meet them even if we go to welcome them!”
"Look at what you're saying. Since we're all here together, aren't we all fellow villagers? Then why was it so clear…Let's go, don't let the people on the ship wait too long!”
"Let's go! Let's go!"
Soon, the transport boat sent them to the fishing boat. As soon as they boarded, Li Hailong saw an anti-aircraft machine gun on both sides of the bridge. However, he did not have time to ask about it now. He turned around and happily greeted the fishermen in the village. Although they had not been apart for a day, everyone felt as if they had been separated for a long time.
"Ren, you're here too!"
"Long Xing! Where did you go last night? I didn't see you!”
"Wang Cai! It's you!"
"Da Bao! Didn't your wife stop you from coming? Haha!"
…..
His enthusiasm made Zhao Liang and Captain Wang jealous!
"Aiya, Uncle Gen! You're already so old, yet you still came here! You have to be careful."
"Ah Long! Don't look at your uncle's age, his body is very strong! Although it's rare for me to go fishing now, I used to come to this nearby area often! Your Uncle Qian said that the matter we came to you for this time is very important and must be completed smoothly. Naturally, we old generals have to take action! Haha! Besides, it's not like I'm going to be out for long. I'm just going to help your Uncle Qian make a move first. I don't mind…"
Uncle Gen was old and talkative. He wanted to show off his past, but Li Hailong had already introduced him to Captain Wang and Zhao Liang. Uncle Gen was a sweet talker.
"Aiyo, it seems that the two leaders aren't on our island but are on the frontline! I heard from Uncle Qian that the situation here is complicated. Everyone should be careful. Commander Wang, I'm not talking about you. Now that you're the leader of our group, you should naturally plan well at home. The matters outside will be handled by these young people…"
"Uncle, aren't you also running out at your age? I'm much younger than you, haha."
"You can't say that. I don't have much strength left, but I still have some old experience to use. Unlike you, who still has to command them. This time, you have to go back to the island with me. I heard from Director Zhang that he wanted to send you a telegram to let you go back!”
"I received the telegram a long time ago, but there are too many things to do at the moment. Work has just started here, so I can't go back immediately!”
"Uncle Gen, don't bask in the sun. Quickly get everyone to the cabin.”
"Alright, alright. Everyone, if you have nothing to do, go to the cabin and rest for a while. We'll work faster when the weather turns cold!”
Seizing this opportunity, Li Hailong asked about the machine gun beside him,"
"Uncle Gen, why are there machine guns on the ship?”
"Wasn't the transport ship attacked yesterday? There was no protection when they came out today, so the army had carried a few over. Time was tight, so they just left them here. They had also brought an electric welding machine and wanted to fix it as they walked on the boat. However, when they tried to fight along the way, they realized that it would affect the angle, so they did not fix it properly.
Look, he even brought a steel plate with him. If he really encountered a war, this steel plate would play a protective role, but he hadn't installed it yet! There were also two guns on the other side of the ship. The army had also sent a few people over to take care of the machine guns.
However, according to the village militia, they had used these anti-aircraft machine guns during their training before. It was not difficult at all. Along the way, these kids had wasted a lot of bullets! Would it be useful? When we came, Superintendent Zhang instructed us to send three of you to the shore. He said that you didn't bring enough weapons when you came out and needed to increase your firepower.
I was really pressed for time in the morning. I was afraid that you would suffer! I heard from your comrade surnamed Xu that he wants to modify those captured cannons, but I don't know the details.”
"Oh, they're really fast!”
Seeing Captain Wang and Zhao Liang enter the cabin, Li Hailong quickly asked Uncle Gen to accompany them while he went to another ship to greet them.
"Uncle Gen, take a rest. I'll go and greet them.”
"Alright, that boat belongs to Ah Fa Dai. You can go over. I have something to tell you when I come back!”
Li Hailong quickly greeted the few policemen who came with the boat and went to another fishing boat. He enthusiastically exchanged greetings with the fishermen in the village. The fishermen on the boat were quite excited to come here and looked around curiously.
Some of them had been to Zhoushan before and were now pointing at the ancient buildings on the shore and comparing them with their memories. Some of them surrounded Li Hailong and asked him about the situation on the shore. Li Hailong briefly explained what he had seen that day. Thinking that Uncle Gen was still waiting for him, he greeted everyone and returned to Uncle Gen's boat.
When he came to the cabin, he saw Captain Wang and Zhao Liang chatting with them. He drank a few mouthfuls of water and prepared to sit on the side and listen to them.
When Uncle Gen saw him, he pulled him to the rear deck of the ship. He found a small stool and leaned against the cabin wall to send him a message.
"What's wrong, Uncle Gen? What's so important that you have to relay the message?”
"Sigh, it's really not a particularly important matter. Everyone is just worried about their children. After you guys left last night, the village officials were a little too talkative. How could everyone still sleep after they told everyone? This matter was already strange enough! There were a few more injured people lying in the bathroom. No one was worried that they were fake! Who knew what would happen after they came out? Think about it, when have these young people ever used guns to really hit people?
After all, what you see in movies and on TV is just for show. So, in one night, your Uncle Qian and the others had a hard time! Even I, an old man, was worried about you. Later, when I heard that someone was going to rush over, your Uncle Fa and I, along with a few others, prepared the boat! It was only after Uncle Qian sent a message that Uncle Fa and I came over together. Now that we see that you're still safe, we can finally relax a little!
You know, we've been through the old society! When those rich people fled to Taiwan, they really shot and killed people! At that time, more than 30 people in our village died and refused to run away with them! It wasn't easy for us to have a relatively stable life. Why did the heavens send us to the old society again?!”
" Sigh, when people get old, it's easy to think about the past and forget about the real thing, hehe." Uncle Zhang was not stupid. He knew that he had digressed a little, so he laughed at himself and continued,"
"Before your Uncle Qian and that Teacher Chen came out, they reminded me many times. They said that you were still young and there were many things that you had only heard about and had not experienced, so they asked me to tell you more. Teacher Chen wanted to come with them, but your Uncle Qian said that if you couldn't fight outside, you could run back. That was why Teacher Chen did not come along.”
Li Hailong thought about it and agreed. However, these words were enough for him to be excited for a while!
Uncle Zhang didn't care if he was excited or not. He continued,
"I heard from Teacher Chen that the current old society is a little different from the old society of our time. What's the difference? I don't understand either. Don't these landowners, capitalists, and fishermen oppress the poor?
Teacher Chen also said that the common people here have not been enlightened. I don't understand what enlightenment is. That's what he said. Hehe, these poor people don't know how to fight for their own interests. They just endure a lot, so they are especially easy to go to the extreme. I understand this a little because the example he gave is quite vivid.
He said that the oppressed poor could not fight for anything, and because they were educated to endure everything, they were like a spring. They were constantly pressed down, and then when they could no longer press down, they would rebound. At this time, the strength would be the greatest, and the things that were originally pressing on it would be broken. Moreover, the angle of the spring was not controlled well, so the consequences were unpredictable.
Moreover, the time was very short. After the spring's power was released, it would return to its original state. It would go from one extreme to the other extreme. After a long time, it would go through the same process again. He said, this is the history of our country.
" And we need to control the strength and direction of the spring. It's like installing a gun barrel in front of us. We need to aim it in the right direction. You should be able to understand what he's saying.”
When Li Hailong heard this, he couldn't help but admire Teacher Chen. To be able to make an old fisherman relay such a profound theory and make him realize it, this was not something that an ordinary person could do! This spring was well used! Everyone usually saw it and remembered it after saying it once. If it was a long discussion, this uncle might not even remember the head.
"Also, Teacher Chen said that you shouldn't be afraid of spending money at this time. No matter what reason you give, it's not as real and practical as money. He said that no matter how much reason you give to these locals now, they won't listen to you at all.
He even said that she had been educated for thousands of years. How could you go up and say some empty words to her now? Now that time was so tight, things were urgent. He would explain the truth slowly in the future. It was the truth to establish a firm foothold here first.
He could only use facts to educate them in the future and not be too hasty. What he meant was to do it first and then say it. However, sometimes, even if he was a villain, he would rather not let his side suffer!”
As Li Hailong listened, he was a little surprised. This Teacher Chen was really so amazing. He could make this uncle remember these words and tell him every word. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would have suspected that the person sitting in front of him was a different person. This uncle had never been to school!
Seeing that Uncle Gen wanted to continue, Li Hailong was worried that he would be tired from talking too much. He quickly got up and gave the old man a bottle of mineral water to rest so that he could digest what he had said.
