Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

On the parade ground, Wei Xiaobao stood on the platform, picked up the loud speaker, and gave a brief New Year's speech:

"Friends from all walks of life in the Federation of Heaven and Earth, colleagues in the Federal Government, and comrades in the Revolutionary Army of Heaven and Earth:

Today is New Year’s Eve of the first year of Heaven and Earth, and also the last day of the first year of Heaven and Earth.

In the first year of the Tiandi era, we drove out the Japanese invaders, recovered the Yamaboko Islands and the Yamanaka Islands that had been occupied by the Japanese pirates for a hundred years, and liberated the entire Ryukyu Kingdom.

In the first year of the Tiandi era, we established the federal government. Under the leadership of the federal government, we successfully implemented the policy of rent reduction and replacement, allowing some people to live a life of plenty.

In the first year of Tiandi, we built a powerful Tiandi revolutionary army to safeguard our happy life.

Next year is the second year of Tiandi. We will implement rent reduction and crop replacement for every farmer, so that every farmer can become prosperous.

We will also eliminate the pirates and bandits who have been harassing the people for hundreds of years, thoroughly eradicate the bandit forces within and outside the Ryukyu Islands, and give the people a safe and peaceful living space.

Finally, on behalf of the federal government, I would like to wish all the people, soldiers, and officials of the Ryukyu Islands a happy new year! "

Thunderous applause broke out!

开席

……

On the first day of the New Year, Wei Xiaobao lived in the newly built commander's mansion. Shuang'er and Princess Lingzhao also got up early, and Lingzhao's four maids became maids in the mansion.

Early in the morning, Shuang'er and the maids wrapped dumplings, cooked them and brought them to the table.

After struggling for half a year, I finally feel like home.

People miss their families more during the holidays. Wei Xiaobao looked at the dumplings in the bowl and thought of his relatives.

I don’t know how my parents and grandfather in my previous life were doing!

I don’t know how my mother Wei Chunhua is doing in Yangzhou in this life!

I don’t know where my first wife Su Quan and my eldest son Wei Hutou are now. Hutou is over one year old and I don’t know if he is obedient.

There is also the question of whether the second wife, Mu Jianping, returned to the Mu Mansion in Yunnan, or whether the Mu Mansion was destroyed by Kangxi.

The third wife, Princess Jianning, and the eldest daughter, Wei Bandeng, must have returned to the palace, but I don’t know how Kangxi will treat them.

No one knew where the fourth wife, Fang Yi, was wandering around.

With the temper of my fifth wife A Ke, how can she raise my second son Wei Tongchui? It really makes me worried.

No matter what the sixth wife Zeng Rou is doing now, Kangxi also wants to suppress bandits, I hope she doesn't go back to her old ways.

There are also Master Jiunan, Aunt Tao Hongying...

Thinking of these relatives, Wei Xiaobao felt a little melancholy.

"Husband, what are you thinking about? Why don't you speak?" Shuang'er said when she saw the silent Wei Xiaobao.

"I miss home!" Wei Xiaobao answered casually.

"Isn't this home?" Princess Lingzhao asked back.

"I still need six wives." Wei Xiaobao said shockingly.

"Hmph, you are the only one who has many wives!" Princess Lingzhao said angrily.

"Aren't you the Eighth Madam?" Shuang'er asked with a smile.

"They haven't been married yet, and the wedding has not yet begun!" Ling Zhao replied.

"Haha, my six sisters and I have never been married in a formal way, never ridden in a sedan chair, and never been married in a hall!" Shuang'er said with a smile.

After hearing this, Ling Zhao glanced at Wei Xiaobao who was eating dumplings and said, "Brother Xiaobao, you are awesome!"

After breakfast, the Commander-in-Chief’s Mansion became lively with groups of people coming to pay New Year’s greetings.

First came Mao Shiba, who came empty-handed and casually to get a free drink.

The two brothers, King Shangwen and King Shangwu, brought a large bag of gifts. After the New Year, Shangwu will take up the post of deputy commander-in-chief of the Tiandi Revolutionary Army and assist Yang Lin in managing the Tiandi Army.

After paying New Year's greetings, Prince Shangwen and Prince Shangwu did not stay for lunch. As there were a lot of people at their respective homes, they went back first.

Yang Lin, Xiao You, Zhang Dahu, Li Yongjun and several other group leaders got together to celebrate the New Year.

Qiu Daoji from the Ministry of Industry, Jiang Wencheng from the Ministry of Political Affairs, and Wu Sanniang from the Ministry of State-owned Assets came together.

Minister of State Sun Xiucai, whose full name is Sun Chengzhi, brought along the Director of the Public Security Department Shi Ju (Shi Laoer) and a number of heads of government departments to pay New Year's greetings.

Since the four maids only knew how to cook Japanese food, Shuang'er taught them how to make dumplings every morning.

Wei Xiaobao was not used to Japanese food, so a few days ago, Shuang'er booked a banquet at Yuefulou, the largest restaurant in Shuri Castle, and had it delivered to his house at noon.

There were several banquet tables set up in the front yard of the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion.

At the banquet, Wei Xiaobao was the protagonist and everyone went to toast him. Wei Xiaobao, who had a low alcohol tolerance, got drunk on the first day of the new year and slept until noon the next day.

Time flies, and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the Spring Festival is over.

Wei Xiaobao looked at the countdown on the system display screen. There were less than 30 days left to eliminate the pirate Liu Damazi. It was time to act.

At eight o'clock in the morning on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Wei Xiaobao brought Shuang'er on board the Julong. Mao Shiba had been waiting on the ship for a long time.

Shuri Castle is about 160 nautical miles away from the Diaoyu Islands. At the full speed of 13 knots, the Dragon will need 12 hours.

The speed of the Fu ship was only 6 knots, and it took 27 hours.

So yesterday Wei Xiaobao ordered the three Fujian warships No. 101, No. 102 and No. 103 to set sail early and meet 12 nautical miles away from the Diaoyu Islands.

"woo"

With a long whistle, the Dragon left Shuri Port.

The sails of the Dragon were all opened, and the three steam boilers were fully opened, generating high-pressure steam, which drove the steam engine to push the piston to move repeatedly, driving the transmission connecting rod and crank shaft, driving the propeller, and propelling the Dragon forward rapidly.

The sky of this era was blue and the sea was green. There was no Japanese dumping nuclear waste water into the sea, and no Americans dumping garbage into the sea.

Schools of fish leaped and danced happily on the sea.

Seagulls spread their wings and soar in the sky where the sea and sky are one.

Wei Xiaobao stood on the side of the ship, intoxicated by the beautiful scenery.

……

Back to eight o'clock in the morning, the commander-in-chief of the Tiandi Army issued an operation order to eliminate the bandits in Longmen Mountain.

Longmen Mountain runs through the Ryukyu Islands in the South, Middle and North of the Mountains. There are no less than a hundred bandit camps of various sizes in Longmen Mountain, scattered among these three archipelagos.

The first brigade is responsible for the Shannan Islands section, the second brigade is responsible for the Shanzhong Islands section, and the third brigade is responsible for the Shanbei Islands section.

The order required that all bandit strongholds be cleared out within one month. For the captured bandits, those with serious crimes would be killed, those who committed general evil would be sent to coal mines for labor reform, and those who did not harm the village would be sent back to their hometowns to farm.

After the order was announced, the brigades set out.

As Krupp gun technology matured, each brigade added an artillery battalion equipped with ten 75mm and 110mm Krupp guns, greatly improving the combat capability of each brigade.

After the order was issued, the brigades set out immediately.

The first to arrive at the battlefield to suppress bandits was the Second Brigade.

Starting from the north gate of Shouhei City, passing through the Longwei Base, you will enter Longmen Mountain.

The Second Brigade arrived at Longya Village the next day.
