Chapter 285 Signing the Convention

Regardless of what Red Beard was thinking, Ye Qing glanced at the middle of the crowd and found that the priest Brest in the middle of the crowd was holding the original parchment in his hand, with a solemn expression on his face.

It seemed that the content of the convention had been drafted, and the people around were quiet. A group of big men looked at the parchment with hot eyes.

“Are you sure? Don’t change it?” Pastor Brest swallowed and said.

Wan Lai was silent, no one spoke, it was the current scene that made them too nervous.

In the end, it was the captain William Bradford who said: “No change, let’s start signing. Let me emphasize that this signature is completely voluntary. After signing, I hope everyone will follow it intuitively. Only in this way can we all become more united.”

Everyone nodded silently.

Subsequently, the pastor Brest first signed his name on the parchment.

Then came Captain William Bradford.

Then more and more people ~ enthusiastically signed.

Finally, the parchment was filled with various names, until the last person wrote, the priest Bryster carefully picked up the parchment, carefully dried the ink on it, and held the parchment in both hands. I looked around for a while, and asked with incomparable excitement in his voice: “Have you signed all of them?”

William Bradford also looked around and said: “Except for those who are really sick and unable to sign in person and illiterate, forty-one adult men are here.

Pastor Bligh nodded: “Well, this convention will become our code of conduct in our future lives. I hope everyone will abide by it. Then…

“please wait a while,

Ye Qing shouted outside the crowd: “We haven’t signed yet.”

“leaf?”

William Bradford was a little overjoyed, and said very fast: “Are you sure you have a good idea?”

“Why, isn’t the captain going to let us sign?” Ye Qing looked at William Bradford with a smile.

“No, no, it’s great that you can sign.” William Bradford hurriedly said.

“Please.

The priest Brest put the parchment on the table again and handed the quill pen to Ye Qing.

Ye Qing did not sign directly, but briefly read the above content.

There are not many words, only less than two hundred words.

But the content inside, as a future man, Ye Qing also had to move.

The general meaning is: for the glory of God, to increase the Christian faith, to enhance the glory of our king and our country, we crossed the oceans and developed the first colony in northern Virginia. Those of us who signed a solemn oath to sign in front of God, voluntarily form a self-governing group of people. In order to enable the above objectives to be better implemented, maintained and developed, they will be formulated and promulgated from time to time in the future. They are considered to be the most suitable and convenient laws, regulations, ordinances, charters and public offices for all the people of this colony. Ensure compliance and obedience.

“You come first.” Ye Qing handed the pen to Red Beard.

Red beard engraved the emotion that was no longer the same as before, and gave Ye Qing a look, and then wrote the name “Edward Netwoka” on the parchment.

Then I saw Ye Qing with a strange look on his face, and he rolled his eyes suddenly, and said in a bad mood: “Why, do you think I will write red beard?”

“Ahem.

Ye Qing laughed awkwardly. To tell the truth, he had known each other for so long, and he really didn’t know what Red Beard’s real name was. At first, he did think that this guy would write Red Beard.

After taking the pen, Ye Qing also wrote his name on it.

“Uh, Ye, what’s your word?” William Bradford saw Ye Qing’s last stroke, and he was immediately confused.

Because the names in front were all English names, but when I arrived at Ye Qing, they were written in square and upright Chinese characters, which looked particularly dazzling.

“This is the language of our hometown. On such an important occasion, I think I should use my own mother tongue. Is there any requirement in language?” Ye Qing shrugged.

Of course he can make up an English name for himself, or use pinyin, but if that is the case, wouldn’t it be against the original intention of the experiment?

The ghost knows whether there is one named “yeqing” in the signatures of so many people, so only the Chinese signature is the most prominent. At least Ye Qing can be sure that hundreds of years ago, there were absolutely no Chinese on the Mayflower.

0·Look for flowers…

Regarding Ye Qing’s explanation, although William Bradford always felt that something was wrong, he couldn’t tell.

“Forget it, that’s it, such a sacred signature, it’s not good to be altered.” Pastor Brest also said from the side.

Since then, there were originally only 41 signatures. Because of the addition of Ye Qing and Red Beard, two more people have been added and it has become forty-three.

“Okay, now that the matter has been settled, everyone can prepare, let us land ashore!” William Bradford solemnly announced.

There was a burst of cheers in the crowded warehouse.

Afterwards, William Bradford was going to arrange the docking of the ship, and the others had to go back and prepare for it, so everyone dispersed. As for the convention, it was carefully kept by Pastor Brest. .

After returning to the room, Red Beard’s previously changed lazy appearance actually seemed a little enthusiastic and authentic: “I think the convention just now is good. If everyone abides by it, there will be a strong empire here in the future. We are the pioneers of this empire, do you still want to leave?”

Although Zhao Ling and Ye Qing have roughly explained the relationship between the Mayflower and the subsequent United States to the father and daughter, but the red beard can make this remark, presumably not after Malaysia, but the real The insights gained from the content of that convention.

Zhao Ling hadn’t noticed the appearance of Red Beard when he was actively participating in the discussion. At this time, he was a little different, and looked at Red Beard in confusion: “You don’t really want to stay here, do you?

Unexpectedly, Red Beard shrugged and said: “I’m too old. I didn’t expect to be boiled with blood once because of a piece of paper, but now I can see it clearly. I only have Fanny a daughter in my life. If she insists on If I go with you, naturally, I also want to go. When people get old, they will put more emphasis on family affection.”

After finishing speaking, he walked straight to the bed and lay on it, his tone suddenly became lonely: “You go ashore first, by the way, let the people on the boat let me know, I’m a little tired, let me sleep first, let them Don’t bother me either. “Fuck,
