Chapter 163 Lin Xin's North American Journey (2)

Once he got ashore, Lin Xin didn't know what to do. After more than a month of sailing, he didn't know where he was sent to by the white people. The places he knew were Southeast Asia around the Qing Dynasty and South America that he had heard from the Portuguese. However, this didn't look like it. He had a little understanding of trees, and there was no tree that should exist in the warm climate areas.

After Ijik handed them over to Apache, his men turned to transport goods instead of continuing to watch over them. However, this did not mean that they had the opportunity to escape. The people who continued to supervise them were a group of stronger soldiers. Among them, some of them were not very different from their appearance, while others were serious white people. This did not surprise Lin Xin, who had once been knowledgeable, at all. What really surprised him was that they actually used Chinese to communicate.

Although the sound is a bit weird and a little different from orthodox mandarin, he and all his Chinese companions can understand the specific meaning. This makes him wonder whether those who look very similar to them are also Chinese. Lin Xin does not know the weapons and equipment of the Yanhuang rifle and other field 1st brigade. However, after he saw that Ijik saluting respectfully to a young general, he knew that this group of people must be stronger than Ijik.

After having had contact with white people many times, Lin Xin knew their nature well. This is a group of savages who do not know etiquette. If they want to get their respect, there is only one possibility, that is, the other party can easily destroy them. Lin Xin thought about it and decided not to provoke these troops for the time being. After all, these troops are very good in terms of military appearance or military posture. Lin Xin even thought that it was probably a long time ago that Qi Jiguang's army in the Ming Dynasty was just like this.

Lin Xin only asked these people to continue to be like Ijik, just not abuse them or insult women. However, he really didn't expect that the treatment he received was so good. Just after the handover was completed, five thousand people were directly divided into two groups of men and women. The men were led by male soldiers, and the women were led by female soldiers from the medical team, and they entered two large tents and started to get ladders. There was no way, and they stayed in the cabin where they could not take a bath for two months, and these people were covered in an unpleasant smell.

In order to prevent bacterial infection, it is a good choice to directly shave all the hairs that may hide bacteria and insects. Then, dozens and dozens of people entered the trenches in groups, and each person had a small piece of soap and started taking a shower. The soldiers used pumps to pump the sea water, first rinsed them, ordered them to put soap, rub their bodies, and then rinse them. After three times, each of them was washed clean and clean. The sea water did not need to be filtered. The Pacific Ocean in this era was still very clean, and with salt, it was disinfected directly.

Lin Xin and the others dared not to obey the orders of the First Brigade of Field Warriors, and everything was done. However, many people were very interested in soap. After taking a shower, they directly had a set of labor protection clothes for each person. The company had been able to produce this kind of clothes on their own, but the quality was better than their original clothes. Their original clothes were directly concentrated and burned. After putting on new clothes, many people were still very happy, and their previous panic was slightly relieved.

Then, the soldiers brought baskets of iron lunch boxes, one by one. Lin Xin and others were told that this was the guy they had for dinner for the next six months. If they were lost, they would have no food to eat. They were all very precious and covered them directly. Before Lin Xin could remember that they were hungry, the cooking teams of the First Brigade of the Field Army had already brought the food. The food on the first day was very simple, with instant noodles with canned meat and canned vegetables. These things were purchased by Xiao Linduo in the past, and the company made it by himself using some spices from North America.

In the British and North American colonies, it sold very well. The instant noodles were all cooked in a large pot, and with some meat and vegetables, the noodle soup tasted good, which was considered the level of a big pot of rice. For Lin Xin, who had eaten delicacies of mountains and seas, it was naturally nothing, but for those Japanese civilians and Qing Dynasty sinners, these things were delicious one by one. Even many Japanese people had the first time to eat meat and spices, and they all ate them with smiles.

After dinner, everyone received a blanket. It looked rough and should not be made of good fur. Lin Xin was right. This was made by the company using the low-value hare wild deer fur and other scraps left after processing of the fur. It is not comfortable to cover it on the body, but at least it can ensure that the body can keep warm on this near summer night. The key is that it is cheap and durable, and the quantity is large. Ordinary families in the company are also willing to buy a blanket for use.

After a good night of sleep, Lin Xin and the others finally recovered. Early the next morning, Apache moved everyone and began to clean up the camp. He wanted to take these five thousand people back to Xiao Lin immediately. In this month, the company had established three light factories, and the company's labor force was seriously insufficient. Lin Xin once again saw the magic of these troops. In an hour, the camp of three thousand people was cleaned up, and all tents and other equipment were installed on carriages and other vehicles.

They just had two steamed buns for breakfast, just enough for an adult, and there was no water, all of them concentrated in the hands of the soldiers. If they were all equipped, it would be inevitable that these laborers would not understand the situation. The road was not very peaceful. There were unhappy Indians who were scalp cutting groups and poachers who wanted to take advantage of the situation, and there were also hungry wolves who raided at night. Even the British heard the news and organized thousands of troops to ambush halfway.

Every time, Lin Xin was worried. However, the Field Brigade was the first main force that Xiao Lin had completely armed. After all the weapons were in place, their firepower was even stronger than the most powerful front-line brigade on the Chinese battlefield during the War of Resistance Against Japan. This time, Xiao Lin also asked them to bring several times the bullets and shells. The Field Brigade also led the new with the old, and the veterans of one regiment led the two regiments of new soldiers, all of which were practiced as actual combat.

The only casualties Lin Xin has ever seen was because of the British ambush. The number of British troops reached more than 4,000, and they were not all cannon fodder like militias. Therefore, more than 20 new recruits were unfortunately sacrificed. More than 20 soldiers were injured. In Lin Xin's opinion, this casualties ratio was really amazing. It was the most elite Zhenghuang Banner elite that year, which was the Ming army other than the Liaodong army, that proportion would appear.

In particular, none of the injured soldiers died due to injuries and were rescued by the military medical team. Only a dozen had to leave the troops. When the others returned to Shengli Town, the most injured had already begun to undergo recovery training. Apache's field brigade will officially enter Shengli Town to set up defense. The trek along the way brought about thirty warriors, Apache recruited directly on the spot and trained by himself.

Lin Xin and others finally arrived at the place and met Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin did not have much contact with these people, even if there were people of his own tribe. He directly announced the next order to them. These people were not slaves, but just the most basic laborers. Because there were no children and elderly people inside, five thousand people, regardless of men or women, would be assigned labor tasks. Women went to the farm to help. These women were all good at handling farm work, and their only strength and physical weaknesses were also supplemented by the company's sharp and strong hoes and plows.

Men are divided into two parts. Some of the people with good physiques are taken away for brainwashing education. After the inspection period, they are qualified soldiers. Because of the nature of Asians, these people can enter the first-line field brigade. Unlike blacks, they can only enter the second-line garrison brigade. The remaining people in the army will naturally become laborers in the factory, doing physical work without technical content. They are very tired every day, but they can eat and live very well, and some people are even happy.

Among these people, Lin Xin is not included. Lin Xin is tall. He did not exercise well in order to get a fame in the past, so he was not good at physical health. However, since he went abroad, he has already practiced well and was naturally selected. Lin Xin has never been a person who follows the rules, otherwise he would not have become the first top scholar in the Qing Dynasty to rebel and go abroad. However, he was a very studious person. He asked the teacher for the first time in class, and the political brainwashing education almost couldn't continue.

In desperation, Lin Xin was brought to Xiao Lin. It was the first time that Xiao Lin met a truly smart person and started chatting with him with great interest.

"So, you were once the top scholar in Jinshi, how could you fall to this level? It's so embarrassing."

"Oh, I seem to know a lot about China."

"Hmph, is that called China? China has been enslaved by the Manchu barbarians because they have missed the best opportunity to show. However, this Aisin Gioro style is still immersed in the dream of the Celestial Kingdom, and is still desperately weakening the wisdom of the people and reducing their own strength. The times have changed. If China does not rise up again, it will be beaten."

"Being beaten? Can those Rakshasa ghosts and barbarians still defeat millions of Celestial Army?"

"Ignorance and ignorance. I originally thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be so useless. If it weren't for you, our family wouldn't have to leave Da 6 early and come here to leave a way out for the Yanhuang people."

"I knew for a long time that you were plundered by the Portuguese. I wonder, what do you think about the power of these white firearms?"
