111 Foot binding

 Transvaal and Orange are newly occupied areas. Alfred Milner wants to rebuild two teams in Transvaal and Orange, so there are many vacancies. If Rock performs well, then he will definitely be

Impressing Alfred Milner.

Rock introduced the refugee camp in Oak Town in detail, and the topic naturally shifted to the Boers in the Transvaal and Orange.

"The Boers in the Transvaal and Orange are definitely different from the Boers in the Cape. After the war broke out, many Boers in the Cape who sympathized with the Boer coalition crossed the border to join the Boer coalition and chose to confront the expeditionary force.

In a sense, this should be regarded as a purge. The remaining Boers at least do not resist our rule, and those Boers who joined the Boer coalition, whether they are Transvaal or Orange, or even

Those Cape people who crossed the border have shown deep hostility to us, so how to deal with them may become a major issue after the war." Rock entered the role very quickly, completely standing in line with Alfred Milner

Think about the problem from the perspective.

When Rock first spoke, Alfred Milner was still in the mood to drink coffee. As Rock elaborated on the problem, the coffee in Alfred Milner's hand had become cold, but Alfred Milner did not.

Realize.

"Yes, Inspector Locke, how to deal with those Boers will be our main problem. What do you think on this issue?" Alfred Milner valued Locke's opinion. This is because Locke

During this period, he showed outstanding results in managing the refugee camp.

Again, whether you are Chinese or white, if you have not shown the ability to be respected, don't expect others to respect you. The Boers in the Cape are also white. If they go against the Cape colonial government, they are just like pigs.

Even worse than a dog, Rock, as a Chinese, could become Alfred Milner's guest as long as he served the Cape Colonial Government wholeheartedly.

To put it bluntly, the Chinese in this era do not have a strong motherland, so they are not worthy of the attention of the British. If the Chinese want to get ahead, they must cling to the thighs of the British and work wholeheartedly for the colonial government. On this issue, Rock actually

and Alfred Milner had extensive common interests.

"Exile!" Roark said firmly. Alfred Milner had a tough attitude towards the Boers. No matter how Roark viewed this matter, he must remain consistent with Alfred Milner at this time: "In view of the Boer coalition's

They have a hostile attitude towards us, so we must be tough on this issue. To deal with ordinary members of the Boer Alliance, we can exile them all. For those Cape people who cross the border to join the Boer Alliance, we must shoot them all to set an example - although now

The expeditionary force has defeated the Boer coalition on the frontal battlefield, but the war is far from over. Perhaps for the expeditionary force, their war has ended, but for us, our war has just begun——"

Rock paused, feeling that he could still pretend, so he looked deeply and far away: "For us, this is not the end, not even the beginning of the end, maybe just the end of the beginning!"

This is a big pretense. Don’t doubt the destructive power of this sentence to the British. Although Rock is not Winston, it is obvious that Alfred Milner is not Roosevelt. These "exiles" that Rock talks about,

"Shooting" and even the concentration camps that Rock didn't mention were all methods used by Alfred Milner in history, so Alfred Milner was quite emotional, although Rock and Alfred

·The age gap between Milner is a bit big, but Alfred Milner still has the feeling of a mountain and a river.

"Very good! Inspector Locke, go back and prepare yourself. Next month, maybe you will have to change your job." Alfred Milner was very satisfied. Not only did Locke get 100 points in this big test,

At least you can get 90.

The next day, Rock was not in a hurry to return to Oak Town, but went to visit Hua Yong who had just arrived in Cape Town.

No, they should be called "police officers" now.

To be honest, only now does Rock believe that sometimes, divine opponents are really not as useful as pig teammates.

In the Cape Town Police Department, those Indian policemen are pig teammates.

Only with the comparison of these pig teammates can the excellence of the Chinese police be fully demonstrated. Otherwise, Rock's performance might not be so outstanding now.

Because of the excellence of the Chinese police, the Cape Town Police Department seems to have given up on the Indian police. This time, the Cape Town Police Department hired 550 Chinese police officers and not a single Indian police officer.

Among the 550 Chinese police officers, about 200 are senior Huayongs. The others are newly hired by Huayong Camp. They have only received less than three months of basic training and are incomparable to those senior Huayongs.

, but they are much better than those Indian policemen.

After arriving in Cape Town, the Chinese police did not start working, but first received language training. This is very important for the Chinese police. They now have to receive not only English training, but also Dutch training. Of course

Now, don’t expect them to reach Level 4 or Level 6. It’s enough to be able to cope with simple work needs. It’s just simple training now, and more training will continue after arriving in the Transvaal and Orange.<

/p>

When it came to training, Luo Ke had to accept the fact that if he followed Luo Ke's requirements, there would probably be very few women in the northern Qing Dynasty who met Luo Ke's requirements. The reason was very simple. In this era, almost all women in the northern Qing Dynasty had their feet bound.

The ratio is over 99%, so it is not easy for Liang Dingxin to earn Luo Ke's money. He has to go to remote areas to look for it. This is why Liang Dingxin has not sent anyone over for so long.

There is nothing to argue about the proportion of female foot-binding in this period. In 1929, the well-known sociologist Li Jinghan conducted a foot-binding survey in a county in Zhili. A total of 515 households and 1,442 people were counted, and 63% of them had foot-binding.

.

Among them: those aged 5 to 9 years old, the foot binding rate is 0%; those aged 10 to 14 years old, the foot binding rate is 5.6%; after that, the proportion increases year by year, and when over 40 years old, the foot binding rate is 99.2%.

40 years ago in 1929, that is, in 1889, she has just turned 12 years old. In other words, at this time, the proportion of feet binding among women in the northern Qing Dynasty was more than 99.2%. The harm to women caused by foot binding is unimaginable. The so-called "a pair of small feet, a tear"

"Vat", after women's feet are bound, let alone work, it is difficult to even walk. Among the female family members of Li De and Anton, almost all adult women have their feet bound, and those who are underage are also having their feet bound, and those who are underage are still having their feet bound.

Those who are saved, those who are adults, they cannot work at all and can only stay at home to take care of their families.

This is the tragedy of the times.
