838 Soul resting place

A train finally stopped at the new Fengjiang City Station. This was a special train that used freight cars.

When it passed the magnificent railway bridge, it attracted the attention of many people because this train was obviously longer than the other trains.

In addition to being longer, there were actually guards from the Qin State on it, but these guards all got off the train after crossing the border, changed to the return train at Fengjiang, and left.

In the dim carriage, pairs of eyes looked at the light coming from the cracks in the carriage in horror. No one knew where they were, and no one knew where they were going.

Everything is strange and unknown to these orcs who have lived in the desert all their lives.

Following the command, the door of the carriage was opened violently, and the interior of the carriage became bright. Many orcs narrowed their eyes involuntarily.

They blocked the light with their hands, and then gradually adapted to the normal light. In front of them stood orcs in coarse cloth. Seeing these compatriots made the nervous orcs in the carriage somewhat relieved.

"Get off the bus! Watch your step! Get off the bus!" The orcs guarding the station reminded the compatriots in the carriage. Next to them stood Tang soldiers carrying assault rifles.

"Where are we?" An orc who jumped off the train had the courage to ask the compatriot who in his opinion was more honorable than the orc priest.

The orc who has been living in Fengjiang for more than a month and has already adapted to everything here answered the questions of his compatriots angrily: "This is called Fengjiang... but for you, this may be... the resting place of your soul.

land."

The orcs believe in ancestors and souls. They will not talk about the gods like the old human aristocrats. They have only one god, and that is the beast god who gave birth to the orcs.

For every orc, the resting place of the soul represents tranquility and beauty, and is the place they yearn for throughout their lives.

"Be careful! Be careful not to get close to these people! They may have germs and fleas on their bodies! Keep your distance!" A passing human officer reminded the two orcs who were talking: "Take them to take a bath! Supervise them to take the deworming medicine!

"

"Follow one after another! Don't try to do anything dangerous!" In the distance, an officer kept shouting with a loudspeaker.

The orcs who got off the train finally saw clearly how majestic and majestic the train station where they got off was, and finally realized that they had arrived at the place they had dreamed of.

For so many years, the orcs have been hoping to get rid of the barren land and occupy a fertile area controlled by humans. This is the long-cherished wish of their ancestors, and it is also the cause they have been working hard for.

For hundreds of years, the war has never really stopped. Every year, they send the people who cannot feed themselves in the desert to the Western Wall on the border of Qin to participate in the war, praying for the final victory.

If they fail, they also deplete the population, leaving food left to feed the tribe through the winter; if they win, they are unstoppable again.

Their most promising attack was destroyed by a weapon called Cyric's flintlock. That weapon defeated the orc army and finally caused the orcs to lose their little physical advantage.

Everyone is equal before muskets. The orcs, who lacked medical treatment and almost no armor protection, were defeated miserably in front of muskets time and time again.

Sometimes even they themselves began to doubt whether the eastward attack had any chance of success.

A year ago, the orcs who kept attacking the Western Wall defense line suddenly discovered that their opponents seemed to have more powerful weapons: the opponent's firepower was more sustained and fierce, the artillery was more powerful, and their tactics had changed as a result.

It seems that breaking through the Western Wall defense line has become even more impossible. However, there are many orcs, in another way and in another identity, who have completed the feat that their ancestors have not accomplished for generations.

They were shackled, put into cages, and headed eastward. In the hinterland of Qin, they were packed into crowded carriages, all the way across Dahua from Qin to Fengjiang.

They went further than they imagined, and the world they arrived at was more magnificent than the resting place in their dreams.

Unfortunately, their hands were shackled, and the female orcs with cat ears were also strung together by a rope.

"It is impossible for the plague to spread. If they are sick, something will happen to the Qin State and the Great China Empire." The officer in charge of epidemic prevention looked at the orc prisoners of war who were forming their own team, and assured them: "Before, we also

Corresponding medicines have been stocked, but what Iā€™m worried about is that their hygiene habits are really bad.ā€

"If it doesn't work, then fight!" An orc standing next to him said naturally: "Some people are not worthy of enjoying the benefits given to them by the beast god."

怑

"That is a favor given to them by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" the officer glanced at the orcs beside him and reminded him.

"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor is the reincarnation of the beast god! He is the god of the beastmen." The beastman immediately bowed slightly and explained hurriedly.

"What on earth can young children do? They can't read... Those damn guys in Qin are using this to charge their heads, aren't they?" A soldier saw the orc children getting off the train for the first time, and asked who was standing next to him.

companion.

His companion didn't know the reason either: "Who knows, maybe he is going to be sold to work in a garment factory in Chu State? I heard that in some places, children are required to work as workers."

"Stop guessing! These children are used to appease people's hearts. It is more effective to give some orcs a home than to hire soldiers to guard them." Their conversation was overheard by the officer behind them, so the officer explained the reason.

The Tang State is not prepared to kill the donkeys, and some orcs with good performance will be truly absorbed and accepted. However, this kind of acceptance is not to allow these orcs to multiply and grow unscrupulously in the Tang Empire.

life.

Yes, that was the mirage country where goblins lived - in the Tang Empire's plan, goblins were not qualified to be neighbors.

As for where these goblins would go after losing their homeland, that was not Tang Mo's concern. He just told them to get lost. It didn't matter where they went.

"Dad! Dad! Look! What is that?" An orc child pushed the shackles on his father's hands, pointing to the distance and shouting excitedly.

There is a new building built in Fengjiang City. The crane is still rotating the boom next to it. The building has not yet topped out, but it is already as high as twenty floors.

"They may be building a monument to appease those wandering souls." Unlike those orc soldiers who were captured on the battlefield, this family of orcs were orc civilians who were directly captured by Qin's assault troops.

.

The mission of those Qin commandos was to sweep away the orc tribes near Steel Fist Fortress and capture all the local orcs and send them to the Tang Empire.

After learning that the Tang Empire was also willing to accept orc children, such raids became more frequent.

Such Qin troops are generally the best-equipped troops of Qin. They have enough ammunition and use advanced weapons aided by Tang.

Because they have cars and armored vehicles, these commandos come and go like the wind, making the orcs hard to guard against, so they have made a lot of gains. The recent sudden increase in the trade of orc prisoners is the best proof.

"That's not a monument! You'll know it soon." The orc supervisor who was standing aside to supervise them said with a smile: "Don't worry, you will know it soon... because that building was built by us orcs.

.ā€

Of course, these new orc workers who came from afar could not see that at this moment, they were the orc workers on top of the unfinished building, carrying cement bags and shuttling between the stairs without handrails.

They built bridges and roads in Fengjiang and built high-rise buildings here. Basically, they were training their construction skills.

Soon, after they have learned how to obey management, how to live, how to work, and have their own work experience, they will be transferred to other areas of the Tang Empire, to places that need more manpower.

Five years, the Tang State gave these orcs five years to prove themselves. As long as they can prove themselves within five years, they can obtain a new identity.

This is a guarantee given by Tang Mo to Leer. This is a guarantee given by humans to the orcs who surrendered to them.

Compared to the way the Western world treated Africa, the Tang Empire was still gentler after all. However, Tang Mo would not give these orcs a chance to occupy the magpie's nest. They would be happier than the Africans, but that's all.

Comparatively speaking, the cost of using these orcs as laborers is extremely low. You don't need to care about whether these orcs are willing to work overtime. You only need to allow them to work no more than 12 hours under the legal framework of the Tang State.

They don't need wages. As long as good food is prepared for them, these orcs will be very grateful. Because in the past, they basically had no food or clothing.

In addition, the suitable climate and environment are better than the areas where the orcs lived before. When they came here to live in labor dormitories, their living conditions have improved countless times compared to their previous living environment.

That's why the orcs who come here feel that this is a resting place and the final destination of their souls. They didn't lie. The Tang State's methods of squeezing labor are no different to them than the breeze blowing on their faces.
