Great time travel

Chapter 60, Arrival and Departure (Part [-])
"...Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue! Have you packed your luggage? Come down quickly! The car is already parked at the door!"

Just as Jin Lingxue was lying on the window sill, overlooking the Lingao street that was about to say goodbye forever, Li Mei, the grandmother of the Ming family, greeted her outside the door.

"...Okay! Here we come!" Jin Lingxue quickly jumped up, grabbed her luggage bag and her father's urn, and ran outside.

"... Hurry up! I'm just waiting for you! Right now, there is only one bus at eight o'clock in the morning every day. If you miss it, you will be in big trouble!"

At the same time, the hoarse voice of the navy admiral Mingqiu also rang out, causing Jin Lingxue to quicken her pace.

——Now Jin Lingxue has moved out of the dormitory of Fangcaodi College, temporarily living with four members of the Ming family, an old couple and a son and daughter-in-law in the old man's apartment in Bairen City—after her father died in battle, and Fang Before the Grassland Academy was established, Jin Lingxue had been fostered by their family for a while, and the few relics left by her father were also stored with the Ming family, and they had to be brought home with them when they returned home. superior.

What's more, this time she can go back with the four members of the Ming family, and she has some support on the way—similar to Jin Lingxue's situation, the four members of the Ming family also involuntarily traveled to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and with Compared with Jin Lingxue, who was cheated by her father, the reason was even more cheating:

——When the "Fengcheng Ship" cargo ship of the Lingao Crossing Group opened a wormhole on the Qiongzhou Strait in the modern world and traveled through time and space, the four members of the Ming family: father Mingqiu, mother Li Mei, and son Minglang , daughter-in-law Mu Min, a family of four happened to travel to Hainan.Because the old man Ming Qiu served in the South China Sea Fleet of the Navy for many years in the past, and he is familiar with the troops in Hainan.So I didn’t buy a boat ticket when I crossed the Qiongzhou Strait. I borrowed an old motorboat from an old acquaintance in the army, hoping to refresh my old dream of sailing.Unexpectedly, when approaching Bopu Port, a strange storm suddenly encountered, and then the motorboat with a family of four was inexplicably swept along with the "Fengcheng Ship" to Lingao in the late Ming Dynasty...

This is great, the original family of four traveling to Hainan has become a permanent trip to Ming Dynasty Lingao... The four members of the Ming family are very depressed about this-the group of crazy time travelers want to come to the Ming Dynasty to work hard, but their family But there is no such plan at all!
It's just that no matter how depressed their mood is, it can't change the cruel reality that the whole family has traveled through ancient times and has nowhere to go.

In desperation, although they were bored and silent from morning to night at first, within a few days, they half-pushed into the group of Lingao Traveling Group, started to work, and soon one by one became prosperous. Hang a bunch of brilliant titles.

——My daughter-in-law, Mu Min, was originally a policewoman and was born in the Li nationality. She understands the language and customs of ethnic minorities, so she became an ethnic consultant, the head of the Li Miao Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the director of the Dongmen Police Station. There are hundreds of people around, and they are all majestic.

——The old lady Li Min is a very enthusiastic social activist in the modern world. After arriving in Lingao, she got acquainted with the female compatriots who traveled through the country within a few days. The official has become the deputy minister of the Ministry of Commerce, the director of the Dongmen City Management Office and the director of the Hainan Women's Cooperative, and the women's cooperative that was originally just selling tattered booty, after several years of rapid development, has become a subsidiary of the Traveler Senate. The largest chain department store has branches in Hongji in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Vietnam!
——As for the old man Mingqiu, the old party member model, the old People's Navy, his official career in the seventeenth century was even more incredible, because he was a rare professional naval talent among the traversers, and he was promoted all the way to the Navy personnel committee, rear admiral, navy The high position of the general counsel of the Oceanic Fleet and the commander of the First Fleet of the Navy!His subordinates own a steam-powered fleet that is unique on the seas of East Asia, and everyone respectfully calls him "Ming Admiral".

In the past two years, the old and vigorous Admiral Ming played the second spring of his life, leading his Senate fleet that surpassed the times to conquer the East and West, sweeping the Pearl River, bombarding Guangzhou, sneak attacking Fujian, fighting Anping, destroying the Zheng family, and making expeditions. Japan... has defeated countless enemies in the midst of gunpowder. It can be said that the martial arts are illustrious and famous. At last, the old man made up for the regret of not being able to catch up with the Nansha naval battle when he served in the army.

In any case, as long as you are a real soldier, you will be eager to prove your worth on the battlefield, right?
The only one who is more frustrated is his son Minglang, who is a coward—compared with his mother, father and wife who have achieved great success in their careers and lived a more chic life, because they were timid and did not dare to fight, so they did not enlist in the army. But Ming Lang, who only found a position in the organization, is relatively a failure in life.Although he has a bit of power anyway, he is nothing compared to Dad, the "Navy No. 1"... So, not only among the traversers, but also among the naturalized people The rumor that "the Ming family is really a tiger father and dog son" made him very depressed.

Originally, if there were no accidents, the life of the four members of the Ming family might have continued like this, and they would eventually become one of the "military and political families" with high positions in the Senate... However, the accident happened without warning up!
——The arrival of the People's Liberation Army's airship fleet, the successive visits of previous central leaders, and the even more incredible black technology of the 22nd century that were displayed in front of them later, re-arranged the life plans of the four Ming family members in this time and space , exploded to pieces again...

After learning that he could return to the modern world, Ming Lang, who was already tired of staying in this time and space, naturally clamored to go back immediately.

My daughter-in-law Mu Min is just an ordinary policeman in the modern world, but here she is the head of the police station in charge of hundreds of people, so she is somewhat reluctant. However, the living conditions in the Ming Dynasty are so poor that even high-end bath milk and cosmetics are not available. No, the education and future after childbirth are also very problematic, and even the level of childbirth is quite dangerous-there is no professional obstetrician and gynecologist here in Lingao, as for the natives of the Ming Dynasty who don’t speak A hygienic midwife makes modern women frightened... In addition, they also worry that their husband will be spoiled by those Ming Dynasty men and time travelers who have three wives and four concubines, and they will also bring "little three" to fight with themselves at home, so they finally nodded Promised to go back.

Although the old lady Li Mei is a bit reluctant to part with the women's cooperative that she has worked so hard to manage here, she also has many relatives and friends in the modern world, and she also opened a small supermarket and a club for the elderly, and she is also reluctant to give up... Finally, After learning about the situation, the government’s special committee ("Special Area Development Committee", referred to as the Special Committee, which is actually the Department of Colonization of the Different World) sent people to the door, saying that the central government was building a new city in Sanya as a medical center in the late Ming Dynasty. A recuperation center and a small supermarket for daily necessities are also under preparation.Because Mrs. Li Mei has rich business experience in this time and space, she might as well go to Sanya to work as a supermarket manager for a while, so that she can not only find an opportunity to see the modern world, but also can have a transition period in terms of whether to leave or stay in the future. and time to think.Therefore, the old lady Li Mei resigned from the Lingao Senate, asked for her share of dividends (the Senate reluctantly took out a sum of gold), and then packed her luggage and went to Sanya New City to work for the central leadership .

The old man Ming Qiu is the most reluctant to part with this world - in the world over there, he is just a resigned veteran cadre who receives a retirement salary and waits to die. Naval battle game to enjoy.

But here, he can lead a "powerful" steam-sail hybrid modern fleet to conquer all directions, invincible, and run across the entire eastern sea area-although it can't deal with the Russian landing ship in Vladivostok, it can definitely defeat it. any opponent.

The smell of steel, gunpowder, and gunpowder, as well as the roar of the explosion and the cry of victory, made him extremely addicted.

However, for an elderly person, the living conditions in the 70th century were relatively poor after all. If he contracted some chronic disease, he might have to live and wait to die. Whether he could live to [-] years old would not matter Hard to say.And if the whole family returned to the modern world, leaving him alone as an old man playing war games, Admiral Mingqiu would definitely feel lonely and lonely because of this.

However, just when Admiral Mingqiu felt infinite hesitation and entanglement in his heart, the "Special Area Development Committee" also handed him an olive branch and invited him to go to Sanya as a naval consultant-this is not a temporary job, but Formally compiled by the country.In addition, Comrade Wang Tiehui, the captain of the [-]-ton modern intelligent sailing ship "COSCO Star", is already looking forward to returning home, clamoring to go home immediately, and refuses to go to Australia to get the rest of the victims back. .So as soon as Admiral Ming Qiu passes by, he can take over as the captain of the "Cosco Star"...

Such a favorable condition finally made Ming Qiu a little bit tempted—he is also a naval adviser, rather than helping Lingao and the gang of young people fool around, he might as well work directly for the central leadership.Moreover, a modern all-metal sailboat of tens of thousands of tons is more enjoyable to drive than a wooden steamship of hundreds of tons or thousands of tons, not to mention that it may come into contact with the existing advanced weapons of the PLA, or even the black technology of the 22nd century equipment.

What excites Mr. Mingqiu the most is that if he goes to Sanya to serve as a naval advisor, the country will not only restore him to active service in the navy, but will also officially grant him the rank of regimental colonel—that is the regular rank of a superpower in the world. It is equivalent to the captain of a guided missile destroyer or the captain of a large supply ship (more than [-] tons).

For Mr. Mingqiu, a model old party member and old People's Navy, this was simply an irresistible temptation.

Therefore, the four members of the Ming family left the Lingao Crossing Group and decided to move to Sanya to "follow the party and the country".As for whether the whole family will return to the modern world in the end... well, let's wait until the decision has to be made!

On the other hand, as far as the country is concerned, it must be a serious violation of the usual organizational procedures to award Comrade Mingqiu the rank of colonel casually like this.But strictly speaking, apart from special affairs, there is no suspicion of "indiscriminately granting fame" - after all, old man Mingqiu is already so old, even if he finally returns to the modern world, he will definitely have to retire directly.In fact, it is just for Ming Qiu to enjoy the treatment of retired colonel. The social security department needs to pay an extra retirement salary for this. It does not grab anyone's position at all, and it does not hinder anyone's official career...

——In addition to Ming Qiu, there are many other time travelers who have also been poached by the country to switch jobs, which made the leaders of the major time travel groups very depressed.

Closer to home, at this moment, under the apartment building, there is already a ten-seater open-top electric sightseeing car parked - this electric sightseeing car is also one of the "aid materials" allocated by the central government recently, and was approved by the Lingao Senate It is used as a treasure in urban traffic: although compared with cars, this thing is slow and has a small load, but it is much stronger than the original bullock cart, and the urban traffic does not need to be fast. speed.More importantly, compared with using a little less fuel reserve, the power supply on the Lingao side is relatively sufficient.

——In Lingao County, there are several power plants, but the oil field closest to Lingao is also far away in Borneo across the South China Sea.

Seeing the half-grown loli Jin Lingxue bouncing up the stairs with her heavy luggage, the young couple of the Ming family quickly grabbed her luggage and put it on the car, and at the same time stuffed her with a paper bag containing breakfast, which contained miscellaneous grains Noodle pancake fruit, coated with rich hot sauce and sweet noodle sauce - although eggs are not added in this time and space because eggs are rare and expensive, the taste is not as good as the original version of modern time and space, but it is still very hungry and satisfying, no matter the time traveler , Naturalized people or foreign aborigines all welcome this thing... Of course, it will be even more delicious if it is paired with a bowl of bean curd or soy milk.

Sitting on this very lightweight open-top electric sightseeing car, Jin Lingxue chewed on the steaming pancakes while watching Mu Min carefully drive the electric car and slowly leave at a turtle speed of ten kilometers per hour. Bairen City, located on a high ground, immediately appeared in front of a large area of ​​sparkling water—for the sake of defense, Bairen City, where traversers live together, faces water on all sides, surrounded by a large-scale artificial lake With a moat, the artificial lake not only isolates the outside world and beautifies the environment, but also acts as a reservoir for water storage in the rainy season and water supply in the dry season, and supporting channels and gates have been built.All kinds of trees were planted by the lake, flower beds were arranged, and several benches were arranged. If it weren't for the barbed wire fences and watchtowers set up by the police camp on the other side of the lake, as well as the sentinels with live ammunition, it would look a bit like a city park.

Next to the artificial lake, there is a tall building made of red bricks, and beside it stands a very unsightly chimney—this is actually a water tower. The water from the Bairentan Waterworks is transported here through pipes, and then the A steam engine continuously pumps water to the water tank on the top of the tower, so as to ensure that the apartment buildings on the high ground can obtain the minimum water supply pressure.This steam engine and the matching boiler were installed in the corner farthest from the residential area, so as to ensure that others would not be affected if the thing malfunctioned and exploded...

Although they were all crude and outdated facilities, with no beauty or grandeur at all, Jin Lingxue took pictures of them one by one with her smartphone as souvenirs... Then she noticed that the electric sightseeing car There seems to be something wrong with the way forward.

"...Eh? Uncle Ming, Aunt Mu, shouldn't we go to the new train station? How can we drive the car in this direction?"

"...This is the last mission sent by the Senate. I hope we can take that guy Liu Dalin to the train station by the way."

While chasing away a naughty kid who was groping beside the car with a stick, Minglang explained to Jin Lingxue, "...Since this guy's leg recovered, he has been clamoring to go to the 'Australian Supreme Emperor' to thank him for his grace. , so let him take the train to Sanya with us this time..."

"...Oh, that's it!" Jin Lingxue nodded half-understanding, "...it's better to hurry up, don't miss the train..."

——Liu Dalin, a native of the Ming Dynasty, was the first Jinshi in Lingao County and the head of the Molixuan Academy, so even though he was paralyzed, unable to move, and had no hope of becoming an official, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which emphasized civility over military affairs, he was still Has a very strong local influence.

At the beginning of the traveler's landing, Liu Dalin once strongly advocated resisting the "kun thief". After being defeated by the traveler, the Jinshi master was once ashamed to see others, and never came out.But with the passage of time, and the various good changes that the traversers have brought to this remote county, Liu Dalin, as an "enlightened gentry", finally gradually recognized their governance achievements, and his attitude changed from "reverse". Become a "pro-kun"... thus to a considerable extent, it has driven the trend of public opinion among the people, and allowed the Senate of the Travelers to further stabilize its rule over Lingao.

After the People's Liberation Army's airships landed on Hainan Island, and the central government's "Rehabilitation Center for Veteran Cadres" was opened in Lingao County in the late Ming Dynasty, a certain "Australian Song Imperial Physician" was on the suggestion of the Lingao Traveling Group because he occasionally had nothing to do. , treated Liu Dalin with the [Automatic Medical Box], and it actually made Liu Dalin who had been paralyzed for many years stand up again-this time, Liu Jinshi was really grateful, and he became a diehard loyalist of "Ausong" from then on. Set up a memorial tablet at home to burn incense to thank the "Australian Song Dynasty" for its kindness in rebuilding, and pestered the elders who knew Lingao traversers all day long, saying that they were going to go to the "Australian Supreme Emperor" to pay homage to the Holy Grace. I hope all the "chiefs" can introduce you It seems that there is also the meaning of self-recommendation...

Therefore, the Lingao Traveling Group reported this matter to the public, just as the central government also felt that it was necessary to understand the feedback from various levels of the people, so they asked the four members of the Ming family who were going to report to Sanya to report the incident to the public. Liu Dalin, the "civilian representative", was also brought here.

In addition, on this bus bound for Sanya, there will be many figures of all kinds.

For example, Xu Xiake, the famous "No. [-] donkey traveler in the late Ming Dynasty" and his brother Xu Zhongzhao, as well as a few scholars of the Ming Dynasty who were crowned as Confucian scholars, were sitting in the waiting hall of the new train station, with or Curious or disdainful expressions, looking at all kinds of new gadgets inside.

At the same time, several other spies of the Ming Dynasty who were employed by different employers were also waiting in the waiting hall to take a bus to Sanya to "spy on the enemy's situation."

There is even an envoy from Japan, who is following the world-famous General Huangshi, and is about to board a car to Sanya for an "audience"...
