The natives of the brigade were taken out of the camp gate and followed a sparse road to the work area, which was a relatively dry hillside, which was rare in the swampy area, and was ready to clear the area and make it a new base.

The natives walked lazily forward, some looking skinny and others looking stocky. The formation quickly fell apart, walking fast and slow, but the overseers didn't expect to get the team in order, so they did their best to keep them up!

The engineers in charge of supervising walked together, although they carried leather whips, they barely made a move, and it was mainly the Imperial Allied Army who managed the natives, and they supervised the natives back and forth in high spirits.

The Imperial Association Army could see at a glance that they were shorter, thinner, and quite obscene than the Southeast Army.

By the way, they also wore the tabula rasa uniforms of the Southeast Army, but their

A native had just stopped on the road, and a short, stocky, strong Japanese man with a chrysanthemum symbol immediately hit him with a one-meter-long hoe, without waiting for the native to react. Needless to say, the four Imperial Allies rushed up, two of them violently held down the hands of the native, and the other two slashed at him with whips and hoes five or six times, so that his face was covered with blood!

Then push and shove him to get him back up with the team.

Seeing that Qiu Fengji was dumbfounded, Xu Youjing said to the senior soldier: "That guy stopped without permission and violated the rules!" ”

He whispered to Qiu Fengji: "The Imperial Cooperative Army supervises the work of the natives, while we mainly supervise the Imperial Cooperative Army and give them points. ”

"Scoring?"

"Yes, we give them a score, which is linked to their income, the better the performance, the higher the score, the higher the income, and the good performance is a model worker!"

The hillside was very large, and the surrounding area was swampy, but many places were drained and exposed to the scorching sun.

People began to work separately, some pulling grass, some clearing bushes, and some carrying garbage......

First, the trees and weeds are cleared, then the trees and weeds are transported to the low-lying land for landfill, and when the land is dry, the land is leveled.

"Let them work at the right pace, don't expect too fast, if it's too fast, they'll have to rest!" Xu Youjing told the two recruits.

"In addition, we must control the diligence of the Imperial Army!" Xu Youjing said: "In order to show themselves, they will beat the natives hard, but we can't die too many natives, which is detrimental to our reputation." ”

"Let's say that guy!" Xu Youjing pointed to a lively little man, and said that the guy's name was Little Inutaro, and his mood had always been very bad, and he told the natives to remove every grass in the field when they worked, and at the same time they were not allowed to kneel or squat, they had to bend over but their legs should be straight.

"Little Inutaro is perverted, all he wants to see is a bunch of butts and elbows, and if he doesn't do what he asks, it's a fat beating!" Xu Youjing squeezed his eyebrows and said the ending of those natives.

Qiu Fengji listened to it like a fantasy!

However, he soon learned that even a ruthless person like Inutaro was exhausted to deal with those natives!

Indigenous people are lazy by nature, and if they move quickly, they will be lazy if they don't hurry, and as long as the overseer is a little away, they will immediately slow down.

If you want them to work all the time and not fish in troubled waters, then one natives and one overseer!

If one overseer is paired with two natives, and the bow is fired left and right, even if you fight, you can't move.

Xu Youjing introduced the situation, especially pointed out that the indigenous people are the difference between normal speed and slow speed, less normal, more slow speed, more and more.

According to Qiu Fengji, the normal speed of Chinese workers is more than twice the normal speed of the natives, and the speed of Xiangqiu Fengji's work is at least three times that of the natives!

For the first time, he picked up the whip and walked around, and when he saw a slow worker, he gave him a whip.

Practice makes sense!

You hit lightly, it's tickling them, as if nothing happened.

If you hit hard, not to mention how the other person feels, you will sweat a lot and spend a lot of physical strength, just like doing heavy work.

In other words, if you whip them, maybe they haven't fallen yet, you're already exhausted!

Referring to the frail Chinese as overseers, Qiu Fengji understood why when he picked recruits, he chose the four of them to come to this correctional platoon.

Ordinary Chinese soldiers really don't have enough physical strength to move those natives.

If you are ruthless, it seems that you have deviated from the teachings of Mazu Niangniang!

Well, to put it bluntly, it's like a person who lives in the sun, and there must be less dark side in his heart.

Although the Imperial Association Army was influenced by the Han cultural circle, their nature was darker, they were ruthless, and when they saw that the natives were disobedient, they swarmed up and beat the natives with their skin and flesh, and they were drenched in blood!

Qiu Fengji silently passed by a group of Imperial Allied troops who were frantically besieging the natives, and he had nothing to say.

Later, he wrote this passage in his diary: "Why do we use the Imperial Army? ”

He asked himself and replied: "Because only the Imperial Alliance Army can deal with lazy natives, the two sides really complement each other!" ”

In the Imperial Army, the white people are evil by nature, and the people of the Japanese people, the sticks and the monkeys of Annam, are full of inferior roots, in fact, they are not to blame, the bigger the country, the more broad-minded, and the Japanese people are small, lack of natural resources, many volcanoes and hills, the soil quality is not good, and there are all kinds of natural disasters...... The sticks and the Annam monkeys are not much better, they almost look up at us in hell and live as if they were in heaven!

They can do things that we don't want to do or dare to do!

……

Rise up, natives!

Because the people who delivered the rice came, they ate a mixture made of local edible wild greens, fern leaves, sweet potatoes and dough cakes, and also added some spices, and roasted these things over the fire, and they smelled very good, Qiu Fengji ate one, and thought it was okay!

Of course, this thing has been improved by a Chinese chef and the seasoning is well adjusted.

And the Chinese and the Imperial Allied Army eat rice, but the Chinese eat more meat, and the Imperial Allied Army has less meat, just looking at the appearance of the Imperial Allied Army, it seems that there is no dissatisfaction.

During the meal, the little Inutaro took the initiative to talk to Yau Fengji and introduced himself, he was from the Matsuyama Domain of the Wa Kingdom, and he was a daimyo close to the shogun.

He said in stiff Chinese: "Those slaves, if you don't fight, you can't do it!" If they don't work, our progress will suffer! ”

Qiu Fengji has to agree!

Then he talked about his gratitude to the Southeast Mansion, his treatment, food and clothing in the Imperial Army, food and clothing were free, and he had an income of two silver dollars a month, at first it was one, and half of the income was given to the General Mansion of the Japanese State, and the other half was sent home.

The income of giving a small soldier to the Southeast Army is more than his, but Inutaro is already very satisfied.

He was the first Wa people to come out to serve the Tohoku Province under the agreement between the Tohoku Prefecture and the Wakoku Province, and most of them came from the Edo period from the feudal domains and the daimyo territories of the Pedachi.

The land of the Wa Kingdom was so barren that the people were so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat white rice, so they called white rice a silver relic, which raised white rice to the same level of preciousness as a Buddhist relic.

Before Inutaro came, like ordinary Japanese families, it was good to be able to eat brown rice, and many people ate miscellaneous grains.

The Japanese were very poor, and many of them had never even seen a silver dollar!

When the southeast government came to recruit Japanese people to come out to work, they heard that they could eat white rice at every meal, and the Japanese people flocked to it!

And Inutaro was a samurai, with a good physique, and a little Chinese, so he was lucky enough to join the Imperial Army.

He is trying to get a higher grade in Chinese in order to get a higher stipend.

The conversation with Inutaro made Qiu Fengji find it very interesting, and he learned that the Imperial Alliance Army was in order to show their gratitude to the Southeast Mansion, in order to be worthy of those silver dollars, so the natives were unlucky!

It seems that the Imperial Association Army has quite a work ethic!
