At this time, I did not know where the boat went, because everywhere there was only a long flood, only the roofs of the houses, the canopies of the trees, and the roads and the ground were flooded. And the flotilla rescued several more people along the way.

When Jiang Yongqi and the others were feeling the truth, Li Kun came over and said, "Jiang Guardian, you can help me sign it, I can't write." ”

Jiang Yongqi realized that the company commander and Song Zengfu just now were also standing on the edge of their seats, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Master Jun." ”

The company commander was very polite, saluted first, and said: "Several, I just drove the two brothers surnamed Shi off the boat, you should have seen the front and back passing, I remember that you stood up first and pointed out that they were not on the boat with you." ”

Jiang Yongqi hurriedly said: "I saw it, I saw it, thank you for the military master for upholding justice for us." ”

The company commander nodded and said, "That's good, we have to write a report on this matter and hand it in, they are the parties and need to sign the report, but they said that they can't write, so they want to ask you to help sign on their behalf, and since you have seen the whole process just now, please also sign a name as a witness." As he spoke, he handed a piece of paper to Jiang Yongqi.

Jiang Yongqi took it and looked at it, the handwriting was very fine, I don't know what pen was used to write it, and it was written horizontally, but the words were very simple, almost vernacular, so I could basically understand it, that is, the events just now were completely recorded, and it was very objective, without too much emotional color, and it was written in great detail about the conversation between them and the Shi brothers, and the final signature was Yang Zesen, the commander of the × Battalion × Company of the × Regiment of the × Brigade of the Marine Corps. The next two rows are written with the words "party" and "certifier".

After reading it, Jiang Yongqi also generally understood what was going on, although he was cautious, but firstly, what he wrote was basically true and not false; secondly, at this time, it was not possible to sign it himself, so he picked up the pen, and according to Yang Zesen's requirements, first signed the names of Li Kun and Song Zengfu after the row of "parties", age, habitual residence, and marked the words "signature", and then signed his name and age, habitual residence, etc. after the row of "certifiers", and pressed his own fingerprints, of course, Li Kun, Song Zengfu also put a fingerprint on the back of his name.

After dealing with these things, Yang Zesen put away the report documents, and then saluted Jiang Yongqi, Li Kun, Song Zengfu and others, and said, "Thank you for your cooperation." ”

After Yang Zesen left, Dong Jiaqi said: "This soldier is very polite." ”

Jiang Yongqi said: "Don't talk nonsense, what is a soldier, this person is at least a captain." ”

Dong Jiaqi stuck out his tongue and didn't say anything.

Zhang Wenwang nodded and said, "Not humble or arrogant, behaving politely, he is indeed a master of Yum." ”

Jiang Yongqi moved closer to their uncle and nephew, and said in a low voice: "According to the two of them, is the Great Qing Kingdom exhausted, and East China deserves the world?"

Zhang Wenwang smiled and did not speak, and Zhang Li said: "Brother Jiang should know that in the past few decades, the Great Qing Dynasty has been defeated many times abroad, first defeated by Britain and France, and then even a small country like Japan could not be defeated, and the Gengzi Kingdom became an eight-nation alliance army with only 2 or 30,000 troops, and it was able to directly smash Beijing, and the queen mother and the emperor fled from the west, and as soon as the overseas Chinese were born, they defeated the Eight-Nation Alliance, and in last year's Far East War, they defeated Britain, France, Japan and Russia. If this is only a military difference, then the imperial court governs the country with benevolence and righteousness, and loves the people like a son at every turn, but what did the imperial court do in this great flood in Anhui and Suzhou? And Anhui and Suzhou are not the first place in East China, but they sent a fleet to relieve the victims, who practices benevolence and righteousness, and who loves the people more, isn't it obvious? Now the imperial court is not enough to govern the country, and the military is not enough to secure the country, is the trend of the world still unclear?

Jiang Yongqi nodded, in fact, when he was walking the dart, he had heard a lot of things in East China, and in general, most of them were positive, although he did not speak directly about the Qing pill, in fact, most people had an account in their hearts, so they had no objection to what Zhang Li said.

Between the conversations of several people, the fleet rescued two waves of people one after another, and all the seats in the cabin were full, and more than 20 temporary seats were added, but a few of them were carried onto the ship for some reason, but they were carried to another room in the depths of the cabin, a total of 100 people, not much worse. And only then did the flotilla begin to return home.

After driving for about three hours, we finally arrived at the pier of the 30 gang camp, and it was already more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Under the organization of the soldiers, everyone got up and got off the boat in turn, Jiang Yongqi noticed that most of the rescued people were young and strong men, and there were very few old people, children, and women. The men who had been carried into the inner cabin were also lifted out and followed by the whole group.

By this time the rain had stopped, and after disembarking, the people walked along a flat and solid road led by a group of soldiers, and from time to time the soldiers urged: "Keep up, keep up, don't be left behind." ”

Everyone ate a big bowl of porridge, even if they were not full, they made a bottom, and just now they had been sitting on the boat, so they were still able to walk at this time, of course, there were people who were very weak in walking, and some soldiers came to help him walk, and he walked for more than 30 minutes, and came to a camp.

I saw that this camp was walled with a wooden fence, and it was full of gray-green tents, endless, I don't know how many, but it was horizontal and vertical, very neat, and the camp was full of people, and it seemed to be quite lively. When everyone saw it, they were all a little moved, this place seems to be really good.

Everyone followed the soldiers to a gate, and after entering the door, someone immediately divided the people into two groups, men and women, and entered a large wooden house respectively, Wanyun grabbed Jiang Yongqi's hand, his eyes were full of fear, and he said in a trembling voice: "Brother Jiang, I ...... it"

But at this time, it is impossible not to separate, so Jiang Yongqi had to shake Wanyun's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, you can go over." ”

A 30-year-old girl came over and pulled Wanyun and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, just check your body and clean it, you have already arrived here, and your future life will be better." ”

Wanyun also knew that she couldn't resist, and when she saw that it was a woman who came to pull her, her tone was more kind, so she was a little more settled in her heart, so she had to follow the woman to the other side.

Due to the small number of women and children, Wanyun entered the wooden house before Jiang Yongqi, and Jiang Yongqi could only withdraw his gaze, but he was still a little worried in his heart, and he didn't know what Wanyun would encounter in the house. ”

At this time, a soldier immediately said: "Line up, don't stand side by side." ”

Zhang Wenwang heard this, and hurriedly stood behind Jiang Yongqi. And Jiang Yongqi had no other way but to follow the team, thinking that he would know what was in the house after entering the house. And it didn't take long for Jiang Yongqi to line up, throw the blanket draped on his body into a big basket at the door, and then enter the house.

However, when he entered the house, Jiang Yongqi was surprised, it turned out that the left and right rows of the house were haircuts, a total of about 20 positions, everyone was shaved and then entered through a door at the end.

Jiang Yongqi couldn't help but be a little confused, what is this for? Could it be that he wants to make these people monks? At this time, the soldier pushed the man who was lined up in front of Jiang Yongqi: "Go, there is an empty seat over there." ”

The man said in a trembling voice: "Master Jun, I don't want to be a monk!"

The soldier smiled: "What kind of monk, it's convenient to shave your hair, look at our appearance, aren't they all shaved." ”

Jiang Yongqi noticed that the people in the room were full of soldiers, none of whom were wearing hats, and all of them had hair less than 1 inch long, which had obviously just grown after shaving. The man wanted to say something more, but the soldier became a little impatient and said, "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't want to shave your hair, leave the camp, if you want to stay, you have to shave your hair, you choose." ”

The man almost burst into tears, but after hesitating for a moment, he walked over to the empty seat and sat down and asked him to shave his hair. The next one is Jiang Yongqi's turn, in fact, he doesn't want to shave his hair, but thinking about the Shi brothers who were thrown off the boat when they came, they also knew in their hearts that there would be no good fruit to eat when they were against East China, so they decided to obey honestly, anyway, if they shaved their hair, they would shave.

Sitting down in the shaving position, the shaving master first grabbed his braids, cut them with a "click", and then picked up the razor and shaved Jiang Yongqi very skillfully. And said: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's not for you to be monks, it's because there are a lot of parasites in your hair, and it's for your good to shave, and you'll know the benefits of shaving in a few days." ”

Although he said it on the side, his hand didn't stop until one point, and the knife was very fast, and a large piece of hair fell down every time he went down, and after a while, he shaved off Jiang Yongqi's hair, and then said, "Okay, let's go to the next room." ”

In fact, Huadong ** asked the victims to shave their hair, on the one hand, it was indeed for hygiene, and on the other hand, it was also to find an excuse to cut their braids, because braids were a symbol of the Qing court, and cutting braids meant breaking away from the Qing court.

Although East China did not force braids to be cut, but only banned braids in the army and schools, it was within its own jurisdiction, and it was necessary to break with the Qing court, some were ways, and there were veterans to demonstrate, except for a very small number of stubborn people, in fact, most of the people had cut off their braids. But this is the jurisdiction of the Qing court, East China ** as soon as possible to gain a firm foothold here, in addition to grace, it is also necessary to make some small means to force the victims and the Qing court to separate, of course, there are also very many Mr. Dong Yan refused to shave his hair, and as a result, he could only be driven out of the refugee camp, and East China ** will never show mercy in this regard.
