Chapter 341: Hu Sanqi's Story 7
In other words, the elders' action of collecting the population was almost acquiesced in and given the green light, considering the quasi-war state of the two sides and the background that the Ming banner was always hung, this kind of open reselling to seduce the population into other places must have been blocked in the past, but at this time they did not dare to do much, except for some landlords who woke up, if they were exploited by themselves, rude and dirty peasants ran away, how would they still be good landlords?
If the elders were to take people overseas from a certain port, there might be some people who would stop them with the thinking of the Heavenly Empire, but now, the local Haoqiang Yan Shenggong Mansion and King Lu in Shandong did not dare to squeak, so not many people dared to stop it.
In general, this century-long immigration completely rewrote the proportion of the population in the new time and space, and in later generations, in places like Los Angeles, New York, and Australia, although there are too many white women mixed in in blood, the people here speak a somewhat different Mandarin, and they have a soft spot for green onions, pancakes, and other foods, which is naturally another story.
In later generations, the Chinese or patrilineal Chinese accounted for 80% of the earth's population, although a large number of mixed-race children in Europe could not be counted because of the complexity of calculation.
Since a large number of international students go to China to study and then return to the European republics to serve their country, there is naturally the possibility of marriage in this process.
But in this era, when the incompetent Confucian scholars brainwashed people and brainwashed themselves, they described the Celestial Empire as an adult in the heavens, the majesty of the Celestial Empire, and the overseas countries were basically barbarians who drank blood.
The most ridiculous thing is that these Confucian scholars saw the overseas barbarians and had no bones at that time, just like the slaves saw their masters, in fact, it was also normal, and they gave preferential treatment to these overseas barbarians, so they had an excuse to grab a large amount of resources from the state finance, as for the money from the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, ten taels of silver, they always had to give one or two to the hard-working Shoufu Lord, and then the small officials of the various ministries, they worked hard every day, raising those peasants who were not as good as pigs and dogs, and they had to take one or two.
In the end, in fact, all these foreign adults can get is one, two, two, two.
This kind of transformation has become a blind kneeling and licking foreign adults in a certain period of later generations, which is the taste of it is difficult to comment, but in the new time and space, the imperial capital means order, means warmth, means survival, means a good life, in countless legends, the elders of the imperial capital are all powerful, not to mention moving mountains and reclamation, they have a cloth bag with them, which can pour out countless rice grains......
In this case, there were not many people who were resistant to going to the imperial capital to make a living (in fact, in Tianjin), although many of those literati were noisy and treated those farmers who were inferior to pigs and dogs, and let so many well-educated literati only go to the so-called "new imperial examination".
The "Broken Boot Array", which the literati of the Ming Dynasty liked to engage in the most, was almost ignored in the imperial capital, and the so-called Temple of Literature was in the religious area, next to the Catholics and Buddhists with shining eyes, and the bull's nose next to it rushed over at any time to tell you that you needed to buy some of their aphrodisiacs.
In the imperial capital, the purge of the literati class was mainly based on economic strangulation, and the literati did not have the privilege of tax exemption, which meant that they needed to compete fairly with the common people, and it was almost impossible to survive under such a population base.
If it is in the conscientious Republic of China era, relying on being a lackey for foreign adults, these literati can also get a life that looks good on the surface, at least compared to those who live by their own efforts, the income is more than 20 times higher, in short, the ideology is to respect Confucianism, love is at the mercy of Confucianism, life is leisurely, the mood is petty bourgeoisie, courtship is romantic, the government is barely passable, even the eighth elder brother is polite, and there are all kinds of balls, drinking parties, calligraphy and painting competitions, and cultural and entertainment activities, charity activities, anyway, it is a prosperous age!
Anyway, Confucianism is flourishing, and China is catastrophic, but how many people have died in China, and what is the matter with Confucianism, people have already gone to kneel and lick the new master.
This is what we call class, and for those literati who are no longer many in the north, the peasants who ran away are not considered people.
That's why Hu Sanqi can see so many boats at the canal ferry.
The first group of people who got off the boat were those who were single but went overseas to reclaim the wasteland, a few men with big shoulders and round Shandong accents roared a few times, driving them down, and there were people who looked around and left the team at that time and slapped them a few times, and then they dragged their families but couldn't survive locally, gritted their teeth and went to work hard in other places, but they were treated preferentially and took another road, and their attitude was much gentler.
Of course, what made Hu Sanqi most curious and frightened and hated was that these people were all shaved short hair, just like a monk who found a monk to recite scriptures after the death of an elder one year, of course, he still kept a lot of hair.
And the clothes they wear are completely different from those of the common people.
The so-called Hanfu in later generations, in fact, is just a group of boring characters who have not been hungry and have not sunbathed in the sun, in this era, most people wear clothes, how simple and simple can be, and the styles are very small, basically they are sewn by women themselves, and they are used to supplement the family, in fact, they are very close to the "gowns" of later generations, and some clothes are to be passed down for several generations.
And the clothes of these people are actually in a uniform style, but they are not the soap clothes in the yamen, but the bright metal mouth also looks very attractive, those people line up according to the line of the boat at first, and then slowly integrate into the other teams, and then go away.
At the same time, the loading and unloading work of accommodating more than a dozen ships is actually not efficient, and those newcomers always don't like to queue up, and there is a lot of noisy noise, but fortunately, there is no need to wait long, the ship rolls the last boiling water and flatbread with some pickles and sends it to everyone, anyway, it can be replenished later, and the rest of these people who are ready to go to the army also feel happy.
Hu Sanqi was full, waited for a while, and finally a voice sounded outside: "Newly recruited brother on the ship, please get off the ship......"
Hu Sanqi's cabin was opened, and he walked out one by one, he saw the whole picture of the port at this time, and his first feeling was that the ground was so flat, which he had never seen before, and then it was the man who kept smiling, commanding them to line up continuously, shouting: "Ten people in a shift, all lined up!" ”
There were just over forty people in their boat, organized into four squads, but there were a few more people, but they were pulled into the team on another ship, and they were naturally afraid and unwilling, but under the orders of those few people, they did not dare to resist, and obediently lined up in different teams.
The man shouted: "Everyone will be eating in the same pot in the future, you're welcome, let's take everyone to the small station boot camp, when you get there, you can eat and drink enough, you are now walking in a formation of ten people, and the formation is not allowed to disperse." ”
The place where these ships docked is close to the Tuanbowa Reservoir in later generations, of course, the Yellow River has not been diverted at this time, and many hydrological conditions are also different from those of later generations, but the reason why this place was selected by Yuan Shikai as a training place is also exquisite, the water source is sufficient, the road is convenient for supply, and it is far away from the downtown area, which will not hinder the construction of the urban area.
Hu Sanqi was very curious, he could see that behind him, there were at least dozens of ships constantly docking, and there were all kinds of people crowded next to him, some carrying large cages, there were more than a dozen chickens in them, some pushing carts, which were full of all kinds of small objects, but no one dared to stop, so they couldn't see clearly, but after leaving the port, the road began to be "normal".
Compared with the immigrant teams in the distance, the team of hundreds of recruits walked very fast, basically all of them were bachelors, and there was no salute, about two or three miles away, Hu Sanqi smelled a very good fragrance, and felt that the meat all over his body sent out the desire to "eat", which was a delicacy he had never tasted, although he had just eaten something, but immediately felt hungry.
Then it suddenly became clear, a huge iron gate was in front, one side was open, and there was a guard standing at the door, holding a firearm in his hand.
Follow the people forward, but they can only walk in the team all the time, those soldiers look very majestic, they are not allowed to leave the team, and they are not even allowed to relieve themselves.
After entering the door, it is a very large playground, there are countless pots and tables cooking, the fragrance is wafting from there, Hu Sanqi does not look at other places, only stares at that place, of course, many men in colorful clothes are also maintaining order, not allowed to rob, they are all holding black sticks in their hands, knocking on the head is very painful, Hu Sanqi was almost beaten.
One by one, he first received a set of iron tableware, the soldier said that each person has a copy, not allowed to lose it, follow the example of others to open the outermost iron bowl, inside is a smaller original bowl, and a set of chopsticks and spoons, but not heavy in the hand, although strange, I don't know what the rules are, he eats at home are bamboo chopsticks and porcelain bowls.
But it's the food that's the main thing.
Everyone's bowl got a boiled egg first, and then a chicken leg with an oil star, of course, this chicken leg wrapped in starch didn't seem to be recognized, the chicken leg was not something a child like him could eat, and the big meat bun was also three per person, which could almost hold you up.
Of course, even if it is to eat, you must pay attention to the rules, and you must follow others and eat with your own class.
This boiled egg is really delicious, although Hu Sanqi's family is a landlord and also raises hens, but boiled eggs are all sold to subsidize the family, or someone is sick, and women are confined to eat, he remembers that he had a high fever and didn't know anything, so he ate such one, and he was in a hurry to eat it, and he almost choked, as for the meat bun, it was also very big, and he could barely grasp it with one hand, and the juice in it couldn't stop going down.
Halfway through the meal, a man appeared: "In the future, I will be your squad leader, Zhao squad leader, you will do whatever I tell you to do, now, hurry up and eat, you must do what you need to do before noon!" ”
With his order, everyone also sped up, and after eating quickly, they lined up under the command of the squad leader, Hu Sanqi was the youngest and relatively short, and he was actually at the front, of course, in this group of recruits who are generally between 15 and 30 years old, this is nothing.
Brought their iron bowls to the outside of a big room, after they and the rest of the class went in, they sat on the stools one by one, more than a dozen benches lined up, and there were people with razors waiting next to them, Hu Sanqi didn't know what was going on, so he was pressed on the stool, but he was told not to move, and the person who shaved his head moved quickly, known as a minute cut, and shaved Hu Sanqi's hair only a little bit against the scalp in a minute.
His hair was actually very bad, dry and nothing, malnourished and dirty, and there were lice and bugs in it, but at this time it was much more refreshing.
However, the hair that has been cut off for more than ten years is naturally very uneasy, but he is waiting to the side, watching the people in the same class also shave their hair.
This is not over, the next is to go to the bath, before the simple rinse before getting on the boat, it can only wash off the soil on the body, and the squad leader pushed them to an open place, where countless showers have been prepared, he shouted that whoever does not wash it is not allowed to eat lunch, this threat really works, Zhao squad leader's method is also simple, the two soldiers scrub each other, holding a suspected stone on the body to wash off those old dirt, feeling that people are a few pounds lighter.
It was another recruit who was not tall to scrub Hu Sanqi, the two of them were the most grinding, and they were delayed to get it done at the latest, they were both men, there was nothing to be ashamed of, and they were soon driven out naked.
This group of sleek men went to get their clothes and put them on on the spot, and behind them there was another group of people who shaved their heads and took a shower, all of which were done under the command and urging of the squad leader, and some people didn't know how to wear them, and they had to be taught how to wear them.
But no matter what, Hu Sanqi still put on a real training uniform, but in his opinion, it was child's play, he had seen the military uniforms of the Ming Dynasty, colorful and green, where it seemed that the clothes of this thief were countless small pieces of various colors, like beggars' clothes.
Hu Sanqi could not understand the scientific and technological strength contained in digital camouflage, in fact, technically, this kind of digital camouflage could hardly be imitated by the natives of the new time and space.
However, he was dressed and looked at the people in his class looking at each other, and in less than half a day, everyone almost changed their appearance.
But he remembered his parents' great enmity, and secretly swore that he would find an opportunity to take revenge!
Put on your clothes, hold the utensils, and then it's time to pick up other clothes, washbasins, toothbrushes, etc.
