Chapter 68: The Man Who Can't Sleep (2)
It is precisely because of Gong Jinyan's experience that her knowledge and experience are much stronger than other women, in her opinion, whether it is the government, the Qing army, or foreign ghosts, they are all not good people, they will only bully the common people and bully women, so Gao Jun said that they will not be bullied again, Gong Jinyan didn't believe it at all, and seeing some women who believed that they were really moved, Gong Jinyan couldn't help but refute it.
After the words were spoken, Gong Jinyan was also ready to be repaired, and he estimated that he would be beaten violently at least and may be killed at worst, but Gong Jinyan, who had suffered from imprisonment twice, didn't care, after her husband died, what supported Gong Jinyan's survival was the worship of the Boxers, the red lantern, and the hatred of foreigners. The red lantern helped her take revenge, and on the other hand, it was also the so-called magic of the Boxers that made Gong Jinyan feel a powerful force that could be relied on, so she followed the Boxers with all her heart.
However, in the face of the rifles and shells of the Eight-Nation Alliance, the so-called magic skills of the Boxers and the red light were not vulnerable at all, and Gong Jinyan's spiritual pillar also completely collapsed.
But the result was somewhat unexpected by Geng Jinyan, Gao Jun did not punish himself, but together with the other female soldiers, he took all the women out of the house of the prisoner, and first brought them to the dock with the released men, so that they could see the results of the battle through the fleet, the warships that sank in the sea, and the soldiers of the Eight-Nation Alliance who were captured at the dock.
Although they had heard of the results of the war in the room where they were detained, what they saw with their own eyes on the dock now was that they were foreign ghosts who were like fierce gods and evil spirits in China, and at this time they were honestly sitting on the edge of the dock, one by one dejected, which still brought great shock to these people. Because in China in this era, who has ever seen foreigners so embarrassed.
Then they received their first assignment, cooking.
Under the organization of the troops, men and women worked together, and on a vacant lot by the wharf, dozens of large cauldrons were erected, of course, all the furniture and materials were captured by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the men were responsible for setting up pots, chopping wood, lighting fires, and carrying water; women were washing rice, washing vegetables, boiling water, and making noodles, and they also killed two pigs.
This meal was also the best meal they had eaten since they were captured by the Eight-Nation Alliance, the rice was big white rice, and the noodles were fine white flour, which was not only enough to eat, but also each person could get a few pieces of meat, which was enough to weigh two or three, even if it was an ordinary peasant family, they could not usually eat such a good meal, and many people cried while eating.
However, to the surprise of the crowd, it was only the men and women who had been released who had eaten, and the army that had released them, as well as the people on the three large ships that had docked halfway, did not eat with them, and this meal was made especially for them.
Because there is still enough food on the three Ro-Ro passenger ships and each warship, and I don't know whether the food of this era is suitable for modern people, so the current crossing personnel still eat their own food and drink, and wait for the food of this era to be tested before eating.
And after eating, Gao Jun came with female soldiers again, this time to tell everyone that those who are willing to leave now can leave, and each person can be given a severance pay of five silver dollars.
Five silver dollars is not a small amount of money for ordinary people's families in this era, and it does make many people tempted, but they think that after leaving Dagukou, they can go there again, where can they be safe, and they can have a full meal. Bi Jing has food and drink here, and this group of troops looks pretty good, whether it is much better than the foreigners or the Qing army, and it has been scientifically proved that after people are full, their mental state will be significantly eased, and their hearts are in a period of weakness. As a result, not a single woman was willing to leave, and only twenty or thirty of the men received the money to leave, and all the rest chose to stay.
Seeing that everyone had decided to stay or go, the troops separated the men and women again, and Gao Jun and the female soldiers took the women to the Changbai Mountain ship. The women did not know what to do on the boat, and some even wondered whether to drag them away, but no one thought that the purpose of the boat was to bathe them, and to give each of them a towel, a basin, and a piece of soap.
In this era, foreign soap has entered the Chinese market, and it is much cleaner than the honey locusts and pancreas used in China, but the average farmer family can not afford to use foreign soap, and most of the women love to be clean. Only Gong Jinyan disdained it, because the Boxers were anti-foreign, and they also opposed everything related to foreigners, and foreign soap was naturally among them.
However, Gao Jun and other female soldiers certainly didn't care about Gong Jinyan's thoughts, on the contrary, they also supervised everyone to wash it cleanly, because it was hair, it had to be washed, and sometimes they even did it themselves, smeared with foreign soap, and scratched the scalp vigorously with their hands. Because the sanitary conditions in this era are very poor, not to mention that these women have been locked up for a month or two, the conditions are definitely not better, and now since we want to take them in, it is natural to clean their bodies first, reduce the infection of bacteria and parasites, and reduce diseases, otherwise it will not be good to infect other people.
And these soaps, wooden basins, and towels are all the things of the captured Eight-Nation Alliance. Although the crossing fleet also brought a lot of supplies, it was limited after all, and it had to be supplied to the army, so of course it was impossible to distribute them to them. Fortunately, a lot of materials were seized from the Eight-Nation Alliance, and after high temperature disinfection, they can still be used.
The Changbaishan ship is an amphibious dock landing ship, and troop projection is one of the main functions, so the ship has relatively complete living facilities, and the bathroom is one of them, so as to meet the needs of troop projection. There is a large bathroom on the Changbai Mountain ship, which can accommodate 100 people to bathe at the same time, and more than 200 women can squeeze it, and the bathing water is purified and heated by seawater.
These women have seen such a bathroom, hot water can flow directly from the top of the head to the body, and they have been locked up for a month or two, although sometimes they take a bath, that is, use a wooden basin and a basin of hot water to scrub their bodies, but there has been such advanced equipment there, and the whole body can be drenched with hot water, and the fatigue and humiliation of the past two months seem to have been swept away.
Although Gong Jinyan didn't want to use foreign soap, she couldn't resist the temptation of hot water, after all, she also wanted to take a hot bath to wash away the humiliation and misfortune she had suffered for more than a month. And under the compulsion of the female soldiers, they were also smeared with foreign soap and washed their whole bodies.
I have to say that after taking a hot bath, the whole body is indeed comfortable, in Gong Jinyan's heart, I can't help but have a little good impression of these people, it seems that Gao Jun is really not wrong when he says it, they are indeed different from foreigners and Chunjun.
But when they changed their clothes, everyone was dumbfounded, because their original clothes were gone, and they were given a set of men's clothes to each person. Sure enough, Gao Jun told them that most of the original clothes had been tattered and could no longer be worn, and now there were no women's clothes, so for the time being, they could only wear these clothes seized from the foreign ghosts first, and would make new clothes in the future, and then change them for everyone.
Of course, women are reluctant to wear men's clothes, let alone foreigners' clothes, plus for most of the world, their fear of Gao Jun and other female soldiers has been reduced a lot, so many women have screamed and insisted on refusing to change their clothes.
However, Gao Jun is a soldier after all, although he is only a technical soldier, he is much stronger than ordinary women, and he immediately straightened his face and only said one sentence, don't wear it if you don't want to, and go out naked after a while. As a result, everyone immediately became honest and put on clothes they didn't want to wear, even Gong Jinyan was no exception. If you want to beat her violently, Gong Jinyan really doesn't care, but if she wants to go out naked, Gong Jinyan is really afraid, so she has to put on the clothes of foreigners, and the little good impression she had for this group just now has disappeared.
After taking a bath, Gao Jun took everyone to the infirmary of the Changbai Mountain Ship, and asked the accompanying medical staff to check their bodies, although they were all women, but they were touched and pinched on their bodies, even if it was a private part, not to mention checking their teeth, rolling their eyelids, etc., but under Gao Jun's high pressure, no one dared to resist, and they all obeyed it and honestly obeyed it. As a result, more than 30 people were found to have one or another infectious disease, most of which were gynaecological diseases, and were immediately isolated and required further treatment.
And the rest were taken to the next link, which turned out to be a haircut. Because hair is the most likely place for parasites to breed in the human body, although it has been bathed, after all, the soap sterilization function of this era is not strong, so it must be cut short, and as a result, they are all cut into short hair with ear roots, which looks like a bit of a student in the Republic of China.
Fortunately, the women are more honest than others, and they all bow their heads to their ears and let their long hair be cut short. And the men are not so lucky, everyone was shaved a big bald head, and it was not that no one resisted, but the people who resisted naturally did not have a good result, not only were they beaten, but they were also punished not to eat tonight, and the others dared to say anything after seeing it.
It turned out that since the crossing group planned to turn this group of people into its first batch of dependent people, it was natural that they could not blindly show favor to them, but would be kind and powerful, requiring them to obey absolutely, shaving their heads was not only a matter of Jiankang, but also the intention of cutting off the argument and making them completely separate from the Qing Dynasty, and it was also to provide an example for later people, but this is still something that cannot but be said. Except, of course, the soldiers of the Beiyang Naval Division, who were also of other use.
