Fu Heng is not in a hurry. The governors of Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian and Zhejiang are training soldiers at the moment, so he is not in a hurry either.
Chen Mu's team, who were polishing their base in Wanwan Island, were no longer in a hurry.
Since they deliberately exposed the false information, they found that there were fewer ships outside the Great Qing Navy.
Team members who are out can still take a short break in the past few days.
Everyone was given precious time and breathed a sigh of relief.
They are really busy during this time!
Due to the scarcity of troops, Chen Mu could only defend at a few key landing points.
It's easy to annihilate, but it's very difficult to catch people every day.
In order to prevent the enemy from frequently harassing the Wanwan border, they directly adopted tactics of showing weakness to the enemy, creating the illusion that they were running out of ammunition and resting the military fort.
Sure enough, Li Shiyao and Su Chang were fooled.
They then only sent out reconnaissance clippers to alert and defend.
I spend most of my time reorganizing my army and preparing for the war!
There were only three thousand mercenaries in Western Europe, and two thousand soldiers were controlled by small teams, while the Qing Dynasty's 20,000 green camp sailors were detained for labor reform.
Now they can't spare much manpower to capture Qing soldiers as coolies.
Unless you use heavy weapons, play a battle of annihilation! But this is the last resort.
So they wanted to delay as much time as possible and then give the Qing Dynasty a big surprise.
In Wanwan, the strength of Chen Mu’s team is increasing every day.
They can totally afford it.
During this time, the 20,000 Qinglu battalion soldiers captured by the team had begun to continuously produce precious resources such as coal and iron.
Relying on these materials, Western craftsmen are also producing military equipment.
However, it will take some time to turn all these captives and Benwan people into people who sincerely support them.
…
Outside Bennan City, there is a construction site.
Fan San and more than 30 strong men came over carrying the freshly received sea fish. They came back laughing!
They have been doing this kind of work for a month and a half.
Before, Fan San and these people were cooks at Gao Xiong Military Camp.
Later, after Gaoxiong Port was captured, they underwent seven days of screening and interrogation before being reassigned their jobs.
Although freedom is no longer restricted, conditions have actually become very good in terms of food and drink expenses.
They got a free portion of the clothes that only big men could wear in the past, and they could eat the fine japonica rice that only big men could eat in the past.
In addition to this, their eating pattern actually changed from two meals to three meals!
Food is the most important thing for the people, and the prisoners were intimidated by Chen Mu's powerful firepower and did not dare to cause trouble. The prisoners who were not hungry were also very efficient at work.
Although the work of a prisoner is tiring, it is a life that even gods would not envy.
Sometimes, Fan San thought that this was working for his family. He even had the idea of surrendering to the enemy!
Serving as a soldier with these people is better than working as a servant for the Qing army master.
What was their life like before?
The pigs are better off than them!
Fan San and his colleagues were carrying seafood and just entered the door when they saw a peasant woman carrying a vegetable basket in exchange for food.
The peasant woman did not hide away when she saw Fan San, but shouted loudly: "Fan Laosan, what are you going to do today? Is there a lot of food?"
"The adults gave me a lot of mackerel, and I made mackerel dumplings for the main course."
"Wow, this is what I like. I will bring you a portion of mackerel later."
"I know, I know!"
Fan San laughed and accepted Aunt Li's request.
Then, I started sorting out the fish with a group of colleagues.
There were a lot of fish in the sea today, more than three hundred kilograms, and the fish meat was enough for them to sort out!
Before dawn, a large number of peasant women and peasant women were waiting to come over carrying wild vegetables in exchange for rice and meat.
"Hey, Third Brother, there is another big show this afternoon, will you perform on stage?"
Snap.
Fan San took the fish head away: "If you don't go, you will lose your talent!"
When Fan San hesitated, a deep voice sounded.
"Third brother, what kind of talent do you need? Look at that Wang Laowu and that turtle grandson who performed a second-rate show and were spotted by a girl from the Li family village. I heard they got married in two days~"
Fan San turned his head and saw that it was old, and his heart suddenly moved!
He is already twenty-eight this year, and because his family members died early, no one has told him about the mother-in-law's affairs.
It's a good idea to perform on stage yourself to win a girl's favor.
Seeing Fan San's heart move, Chen Nian patted him on the shoulder: "Go ahead and give it a try, maybe there will be a girl who can fall in love with you!"
Fan San immediately made up his mind.
And aging cleans a basket of fish.
A month ago, he was betrayed, seriously injured and captured. He thought he would either win over or be killed. Unexpectedly, he recovered from his injuries and was assigned to work as a cook in the military camp!
The situation was weaker than others, so he decided to endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden for the sake of his wife and daughter at home!
Then, he discovered that this place was completely different from where he stayed.
Here, full of hope.
Just like Chen Nian and Fan San.
The job they were assigned was to build houses.
The construction work is not big, and the brick-burning work mainly relies on the machinery made by Westerners to make bricks.
The production speed is very fast.
The people of Longguo even said that when the houses are built in the future, they can be rewarded with a house.
The prisoners and the people believed in their promise.
In the past month and a half, they have established a strange relationship of trust with these Western Europeans controlled by the alien team.
This relationship is not based on the whip, but on fairness within the rules they set.
Thinking of what he saw and heard, Chen Nian felt bitter and uneasy!
He has been working here for half a month and understands many of the mechanisms and conditions here.
Every three days, the great men of the Dragon Kingdom prepared various dramas for them to watch.
The most powerful thing is the movie drama.
Thousands of people sat together to watch the show together!
The drama is great!
Mainly about the daily life of ordinary people.
How do people live a good life?
There are also various interesting things interspersed in the drama, which made everyone laugh and gain a lot at the same time.
You can also see farming skills, learning skills, and technical essentials for fishing in the sea! In addition to this, there are also some humorous skits and various entertainment activities.
In short, after staying here for a month and a half, I feel like I have gained a lot.
Even those who thought they were well-informed were like this, not to mention the common people, soldiers and prisoners.
Many staunch Qing prisoners actually agreed with the ideas in these movies and some of the rhetoric of the Dragon Kingdom.
For example, how do you acquire land? You have to fight to protect your land.
Why is there oppression and how to fight it!
Chen Nian, who is in a high position, is sensitive to the horror of the Longguo people's preaching!
This is going against heaven!
This is to dig out the roots of the Qing Dynasty.
Seeing that so many prisoners and ordinary people agreed with these beautiful ideas, Chen Nian often thought about what they would do if the Qing officers and soldiers attacked?
After all, these people came with him to support the Qing army.
Let’s fight against the Qing Dynasty, or fight against the Qing Dynasty together!
He always feels these things are bitter, and he will definitely turn around and fight the Qing Dynasty.
Life here is not only exciting, but children can also learn valuable knowledge.
Even the prisoners of the Green Camp were treated equally by the people of the Dragon Kingdom.
Of course, except for the most heinous criminals!
Speaking of this, Chen Nian thought of Fan San and his immediate boss, a boss named Peng Yushan.
That boss, Peng Yushan, was used to showing off his power.
Unable to bear the heavy workload, in order to escape from here, he deceived more than ten people including Fan San.
He said that he took the opportunity to hijack weapons and ran out to return to the embrace of the Qing Dynasty. Then he was reported by Fan San and a gang of Qiu Ba.
Chen Nian will never forget the way Peng Yushan looked at Fan San after he was arrested.
That kind of despair!
Tsk tsk~
Chen Nian didn't want to go mining, so he just stayed here and built a house!
There is no intrigue here.
After work, I do some group activities and occasionally watch a show. It's a good day.
Except for occasionally missing my wife and daughter!
…
After capturing a large number of prisoners, the alien team began to select these people.
The main purpose is to select out the die-hards who committed the most heinous crimes and were die-hard loyal to the Qing Dynasty.
Selecting criminals is the simplest, you only need to report and confirm the crime.
Those who are psychologically loyal are screened through some bizarre oral choices. Although this method sometimes causes screening errors, the general direction is correct.
After several battles in Wanwan, they captured 21,000 soldiers and officials and hundreds of businessmen.
Through screening, the crowd was divided into three major categories.
The first category is also the largest, accounting for about half. They must be honest and honest soldiers from the grassroots. Or they must have no negative records and have great use of labor. Chen Nian is one of them!
The second category is those who must undergo labor reform and spiritual baptism. Laborers who are not firm in their will to the Qing Dynasty, but are very clever, who have not committed any bad deeds, but who are in management positions and have the value of reform.
The third category, oh, those have had their street lights removed by public trials!
The middle part of the bend, the mine.
A scolding mixed with English and Kebab Chinese came from behind Peng Yushan: "Fake, hurry up, Turtle Sun 4396."
Peng Yushan turned his head and saw that it was a Western European overseer.
He was so frightened that he shuddered and quickly swung the hammer and hit a piece of coal ore hard.
This is already his thirty-fifth day mining here.
He missed his days in Bennan very much.
Why was he so obsessed with joining the soldiers in an attempt to escape?
Thinking about the big fish and meat at the Bennan construction site, and thinking about the food he had eaten these days, he wanted to cry.
Pa~
The sound of whips suddenly sounded.
Accompanied by a scream, a man in his forties lay on the ground: "Sir, have mercy on me, please have mercy on me!"
"Bie Sun No. 77, you lazy man has been resting for a quarter of an hour, why don't you go to work?"
Peng Yushan turned his head and saw that it was Lin Luo, the former Eight Banners Man Man who was now the commander-in-chief, and his heart suddenly felt balanced.
Shaking his head disdainfully, he continued to work hard!
As long as he is not lazy and works for three months, he can apply to be transferred to a work area with lower work intensity!
He doesn't want to participate in this tiring and dangerous mining work!
Dududu~
Sharp slogans sounded.
"It's time to eat..."
Peng Yushan quickly picked up the hammer and ran outside.
Then find your usual standing position, stand at attention and wait.
A Western European man stood in front of the stage, holding a trumpet and roaring at the thousands of miners:
"What are you?"
"Turtle grandson!" a thousand miners roared in unison.
"Why do you work here?"
"For atonement!"
"Atonement for what?"
"We made a mistake!"
"Very good. You need to reveal the mistakes you have made and show your sincerity to get labor exemptions."
"Thank you sir for your teaching!"
"Want to get out of here?"
"think!"
"Very good, then work hard!" This foreigner from Western Europe held a note: "I announce that after ten days of hard labor, three more turtle grandsons have received new names, and your salary can be improved."
Joseph Lagrange looked at the note and said loudly: "Turtle grandson 757, turtle grandson 2333, and turtle grandson 4396. Congratulations to the three of you. Your labor reform has been successful. You can be promoted from hard labor miners to centurions.
You can have a new name from us."
"Are you...satisfied?"
Peng Yushan and the other two miners shouted ecstatically: "Satisfied, we are satisfied!"
Joseph Lagrange looked at Peng Yushan who roared the loudest: "Very well, Turtle Sun 4396 congratulates you on your new name. Your new name will be Zhu Changchang."
Peng Yushan shouted excitedly: "Thank you, sir, for the name!"
"Very good, Zhu Changchang. Only after you have completed one year of labor redemption can you obtain your original name again. I hope you will work hard!"
"Thank you, sir!"
"No, you have to thank Long Guo."
"Long live the Dragon Kingdom!"
"Long live!"
"Long live the Dragon Kingdom!"
"Long live!"
Peng Yushan also shouted hysterically.
