On the edge of the muddy camp, there are forty or fifty tents densely lined up. This is the Chinese dormitory in the British camp.
A standard class tent usually only holds four to five bunk beds, housing eight to nine people. Here, each tent is filled with twenty bunk beds, housing nearly fifty people. The entire tent
Apart from the bed, there is only a narrow passage and there is no extra space.
This is simply a concentration camp
Qin Zhiyuan walked through three or four tents, and all he saw was the same scene. The angry and helpless Chinese, their damp, cold bedding, and their uniformly numbered uniforms were as turbid as the air in the tunnels on the front line.
The British did not even allow the Chinese to own civilian clothes for fear that the Chinese would escape from the labor camps.
While Qin Zhiyuan was inspecting the camp, it was time for dinner.
A dozen large wooden barrels were brought into the labor camp. The edges of the barrels were dirty, and there were a few vegetable leaves stained on them. They had probably never been washed. Each Chinese was given something like gruel for one night, half of which was black.
Huhu bread, some even moldy.
They will give you these to eat. Qin Zhiyuan asked Tang Xinzhi.
Tang Xinzhi was the younger translator. Tang Xinzhi was an overseas student selected by the Republic of China government to go to France. After the Chinese workers entered France, there were not enough translators. At the request of the Republic of China Embassy in France, Tang Xinzhi joined the Chinese workers camp to become a translator.
Yes, the British gave us these. Today was pretty good and we had food. When supplies were tight a while ago, we could only eat one meal a day. Tang Xinzhi had already accumulated too much dissatisfaction with the British.
.
Mr. Qin, when did you arrive in France? You are very curious about Qin Zhiyuan and Tang Xinzhi.
I am one month earlier than you. In fact, my identity is the same as yours, and I am a Chinese worker from China. Qin Zhiyuan does not hide his identity. He knows very well that what the Chinese workers need most is a sense of identity, whether they are from
The British are still from China.
How come the Chinese laborer Tang Xinzhi was even more surprised than William.
Why not? As long as you show enough value, let alone a colonel, even if you want to be a general, the French will agree. As long as there is a chance, Qin Zhiyuan will always sow the seeds of fire. Maybe when, these fires will
It will be like a prairie fire.
Mr. Qin, you are now Tang Xinzhi, who is only 18 years old this year. It was at that time when he was a young boy that he was bewitched by Qin Zhiyuan, and Tang Xinzhi felt hot all over his body.
I am now the commander of the Sixth Regiment of the French Foreign Legion. This regiment is all Chinese and we are stationed in the Capi area. Qin Zhiyuan thought about it and decided to add more firepower: Our troops have been expanding. I think it is very important.
Soon it will become a brigade or a division.
Foreign Legion, yes, I heard about it. I saw your deeds in the newspaper. I never expected that you would come to Amiens. Tang Xinzhi felt like he wanted to burn.
The news that Qin Zhiyuan was awarded the Grand Cross Knight is being hyped up by the French media. As Foch said, France needs heroes now, and the French need more Qin Zhiyuan to pick up a gun and join the war against the Germans.
Go in.
Qin, those poor people want to see you and express their gratitude to you in person. Misha came to Qin Zhiyuan and said softly.
Since entering the Chinese labor camp, Misha has been in working mode. Many people here have fallen sick, not only because of the bad weather, but also because of the poor living conditions.
Mr. Qin, thank you very much. A Chinese representative followed behind Misha and bowed to express his thanks.
This is our captain Wang Dingshan. He is responsible for managing nearly 2,000 people here. Tang Xinzhi introduced in a low voice.
Wang Dingshan was also tied to a pillar just now. As the captain, every time he encountered unfair treatment, Wang Dingshan would stand up for the Chinese. Wang Dingshan did not participate in the fight. He was tied entirely because William vented his anger.
Wang Dingshan is in his early 30s, about 1.8 meters tall, with a strong build, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a lush beard. He has thick joints and a steady pace, and he looks like a practitioner.
You're welcome, we are all Chinese, and we should draw out our swords to help when encountering injustice. Qin Zhiyuan secretly praised him.
This Wang Dingshan looks quite powerful. If he can join the Foreign Legion, he might become another strong soldier.
Yes, we are all Chinese, Mr. Qin is already a colonel officer, but we are so miserable, which makes Mr. Qin laugh. It seems that Wang Dingshan has already known Qin Zhiyuan's identity through Gao Hongshi, and there is a faint expectation in his words.
If possible, no one would be willing to live in the same world, especially those with certain abilities. They have the ability to change their situation, they just need a chance.
If Captain Wang is willing, he can also join the Foreign Legion. Qin Zhiyuan began to close the net.
Judging from the attitude of the British towards the Chinese, the relationship between the two parties must have been on fire. In addition, Qin Zhiyuan beat William. Even if the Chinese swallowed their anger, they might not be able to reap the benefits. Instead of being manipulated like this, they might as well join the Foreign Legion and give it a try.
.
Mr. Qin's words really mean that Wang Dingshan has been fond of the Foreign Legion for a long time.
Qin Zhiyuan is really decisive.
Well, if Mr. Qin doesn't mind, Wang is willing to join the Foreign Legion. Wang Dingshan made up his mind and decided to follow Qin Zhiyuan.
Good Qin Zhiyuan shouted hello and patted Wang Dingshan on the shoulder to encourage him: Heaven is moving vigorously, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement. Qin can help you for a while, but cannot help you for a lifetime. If you want to gain self-esteem, you can only strive for self-improvement.
Even if he is helping, Qin Zhiyuan still looks at people. If Wang Dingshan has the idea of self-improvement, Qin Zhiyuan will give Wang Dingshan a chance. If Wang Dingshan is willing to fall, Qin Zhiyuan will not force others to make things difficult.
Everyone has his own ambitions.
Master Qin, we are also willing to join the Foreign Legion.
Mr. Qin, count me in
Mr. Qin, brothers, follow you.
When they heard that they could join the Foreign Legion, the Chinese workers were very excited. Look at Qin Zhiyuan's stiff officer uniform and shiny boots, and then look at his own ugly numbered uniform and bare feet. Everyone has a comparison mentality.
Don't worry about life or death in the future, it's better to have some glory first.
At this time, few Chinese people believe in atheism, and the idea of reincarnation is the mainstream of society. It doesn't matter if you have a bad fate in this life. As long as you accumulate virtue and do good, you will naturally be reborn in a good child in the next life. You will do a lot of evil in this life, just wait and see.
If you reincarnate, you might become a pig or a dog.
Is this feudal superstition?
yes
But at the same time, this kind of feudal superstition also encourages people to be kind, encourages people to commit suicide to be benevolent, and encourages people to rather die than surrender.
In a certain respect, this kind of thinking supports the soul of the Chinese people.
Therefore, most of the rich people at this time are willing to accumulate virtue and do good deeds to benefit the countryside. If they have nothing to do, they will pave roads, build bridges, give porridge, etc. There are not many who do many evil things. People like Huang Shiren only exist in literary works.
In reality, there are really not many.
Apart from anything else, if you dare to destroy my family, I will dig up your ancestral grave. This alone is enough to tie up many Huang Shiren.
