Chapter 445 Rumor! Rumor!
At the beginning of December, Yin Jun asked Jing Zhonghong, the captain of the security brigade, to return to the mainland to recruit his soldiers from Liaodong and Shandong provinces.
When Jing Zhonghong went to the mainland, he didn’t bring much money with him, but Yin Jun has become acquainted with those money changers in the mainland now. Whether Jing Zhonghong goes to Shandong or Liaodong, he can get money in the provincial capital RMB.
Then, with a bag full of money on his back, he went across the mountains to find his soldiers.
In this era, the soldiers are generally rural people, unlike after 2000, many urban people have to squeeze into the army in order to take over.
In order not to attract the attention of others, Jing Zhonghong did not rent a vehicle or anything, and walked all the way.
Within a month, Jing Zhonghong came into contact with many soldiers under her command.
Bai has a lot of skills, but this group of retired soldiers can only work at home. When Jing Zhonghong said that they were asked to work in Xiangjiang to earn money, they really didn’t say anything. They just wanted to leave after throwing away the farm work in their hands. .
Not to mention that Jing Zhonghong directly took out a wad of money for each person, a total of 1,000 yuan for relocation expenses, so that their families could feel at ease.
These retired men were under the old battalion commander when they were soldiers. They knew exactly who Jing Zhonghong was. It was impossible for him to harm himself and others, let alone so many people going to Xiangjiang together. . ——Who dares to harm them, they can turn Xiangjiang upside down.
Therefore, most people agreed to go to Xiangjiang, and even some men in their thirties who had no ambitions were taught by their wives or parents and agreed together.
Because if you agree, you can get 1,000 RMB. In this ordinary country, it is not bad to have an income of 20 RMB a month. 1,000 RMB is equivalent to 4 years’ income. What’s wrong with taking it for nothing?
As for the dangers, not to mention that everyone trusts the old superiors, as I said before, there are ten or twenty people in the same village, hundreds of people in the same township, and hundreds of people in the same county. Gathered together, who can do anything to them?
Holding a group is the thing that Chinese people do without hesitation when they go out.
The vast majority of people are willing to go, and for those who cannot go for various reasons, Jing Zhonghong also gave them two or three hundred yuan, which is equivalent to the care of the old superiors, so that these people are either disabled or have parents who want to go. The supporting men were so moved that they wept unceasingly, which made everyone believe in the old battalion commander.
It's just that the current trains are not so convenient, especially the direct trains to Guangdong, which are even more troublesome.
They are such a large group of people traveling, if they take the formal way, there will be too much movement.
But these difficulties are not difficult for the big guys. When they are soldiers training, they often go over mountains and mountains.
Therefore, after giving each person 100 yuan, Jing Zhonghong agreed with them to meet in Nanwan, and they took care of the rest.
Generally, they are dispatched in groups of three or four, and I believe they will reach their destination within a month or so at most.
In every village, Jing Zhonghong gave this order. After he visited all the places, he found that he had recruited more than 1,300 people and spent about 1.5 million yuan.
Fortunately, Yin Jun told him that 1,000 is not too many, and 5,000 is not too many. Jing Zhonghong didn't feel that it was impossible to recruit too many people to go back. He returned to Fengtian and took the train to Huajing, and then took the plane directly from Huajing. When we arrived in Guangdong Province, we finally took a car to Nanwan.
Because Jing Zhonghong went to different places, more than 300 retired men had arrived at the meeting place at this time, but more people were still on the way.
The current Nanwan is not the kind of super big city with a population of tens of millions in the future. Too many people gather together. Now it has just changed from Bao'an County to Nanwan City, and the population is not large. If it were not for Jing Zhong The area Hong chose was the junction of the mountains, and this is one of the base camps for swimming to the Xiangjiang River. Someone has already come to investigate.
These men had practiced swimming when they were soldiers. With so many people and equipment provided, they arrived in Xiangjiang very easily.
In this batch of batches, during the entire Spring Festival, these more than 1,300 people all arrived in Xiangjiang safely.
This is also thanks to the marine police in Xiangjiang. The Spring Festival is their laziest day. Although they all know that this is the peak time for swimming, they are very busy on weekdays, so they can't manage so much during the Spring Festival.
While Jing Zhonghong was on the move, the other two vice-captains, Li Weiguo and Fu Xudong, also went to the mainland successively. Their mission was the same as Jing Zhonghong's, they were to find their former soldiers.
According to the distance they traveled, it is estimated that there will be a batch of swimming peaks in March.
However, relying on these people alone is far from enough for Yin Jun's plan to immigrate to Australia and occupy Western Australia.
Therefore, after the second day of the Lunar New Year, some rumors began to spread.
"Hey, Aunt Li, have you heard? The government will abolish the current ID card policy at the end of the year, and adopt a policy of arresting and releasing people who come to Hong Kong for swimming from the mainland!"
"Isn't it? The current policy is pretty good, isn't it bothersome to change?"
"Brother Wang, hurry up! Inform your cousin to prepare in advance, and the government will not give ID cards to those who steal Xiangjiang!"
"Yu Yu, hurry up and tell your fellow villagers that if you want to come to Xiangjiang, now is your last chance!"
"Damn it, can't it? So vicious?"
"Who says it's not? It's so unreasonable!"
"I disagree with what you said, there are too many people in Xiangjiang, already 5 million, how can we increase?"
"Fuck your mother! Don't you think his mother is also from the mainland? You are here, so you don't allow others to come?"
"..."
The newspapers in Xiangjiang are also very unscrupulous. Seeing that some people are talking about it, they rush out to add fuel to the flames regardless of the truth of the matter.
"It is rumored that the Xiangjiang government cancels the existing resident ID card application policy! "
"Senior government officials: It is not convenient to disclose! "
According to sources, such reforms are inevitable! "
"Is it good or bad to block the way for mainlanders to come to Hong Kong?" "
"In the next few months, there will be a wave of swimming! "
"How many people can Xiangjiang accommodate?" "
"Some Bad Habits Worthy of Our Thoughts! "
...
News one after another, newspaper after newspaper, all pointed to the Hong Kong government's imminent change in the ID card application policy.
When encountering such a thing, the chief of Xiangjiang's administrative department immediately stood up: "Rumor! It is definitely a rumor! We have never had such a plan, and even if we did, it shouldn't be now! Don't be deceived, everything is normal!"
Not only him, many government affairs, police affairs, and chief secretary officials also tried their best to clarify this matter during interviews.
However, when the government was in a meeting, the head of the chief secretary, the top three in Xiangjiang, pointed at the people below and burst into rage, "Tell me, tell me what happened? Why did we just have this The issue was suddenly known by others? Who leaked it? Why didn’t I know that it was about to change?”
"Now it's not a matter of pursuing responsibility, boss." The first brother of the police department said, "What we have to do now is how to calm the panic of the people. If they are like before, they are crazy inside and outside, so that more Relatives and friends come to Xiangjiang, then our place will be terrible!"
"Yeah, we have to find a way to prevent them from panicking. The water police here are not ready yet!" Another deputy director of the police department who is in charge of waterway and shipping inspections said anxiously, "Because of this rumor , In the past three days, the number of people swimming from Nanwan has increased sharply, but our water police here are a little helpless, and less than one third of them were caught by us!"
"How about we dispatch the garrison to search and intercept?" the No. 2 chief of the Department of Civil Affairs suggested.
"No, absolutely not!" The boss of the Chief Secretary refused without thinking, "The garrison has always looked down on this group of Chinese people. If they want to act violently and cause heavy casualties, I am afraid that the Hua Guo government. It’s hard to explain. The situation in Britain has not been good in the past few years. If such a big trouble has been caused, how can the Governor-General explain to the Queen? Also, the deployment of the garrison requires the approval of the Governor-General, can he approve it?”
Everyone stopped talking for a while.
Governor MacLehose has always been cruel and merciless towards corrupt officials, but he loves the common people very much, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be willing to see machine guns shooting.
If the garrison was to drive warships to crush the people who came swimming, then unless the Queen of England dismissed MacLehose, otherwise such a thing would not happen.
"Let's do this!" the boss of the Chief Secretary pondered, "Your Political Affairs Secretary should quickly formulate policies, and then the Police Department will also strengthen inspections on waterways and land routes. At the same time, the Information Administration's We must suppress these rumors, and newspapers and TV stations must not let them talk about it anymore! We will try to implement this policy in the second half of this year, and then they will have nothing to talk about."
This is to step up the formulation and implementation of policies.
A group of bigwigs nodded secretly.
In the past few decades, Xiangjiang adopted laissez-faire measures, but now that Xiangjiang has a large enough population, it is natural to tighten policies in this regard.
It's just that it's not a good way to suppress it so forcefully!
More than half of the more than 5 million people in Xiangjiang have relatives in the mainland. According to relevant regulations, it is easy for them to apply for their immediate relatives, but it is somewhat difficult for relatives and good friends who are intergenerational.
In the past, you could still think about how to swim slowly, but now you tighten the policy immediately, you can imagine the rebound of all of them.
Especially the boss of the Information Department, thinking with a frowning face, it seems that he has no choice but to be shameless and continue to claim that these are rumors!
right!
It can only be a rumor! !
