Mobilization!

Called!

Almost overnight, horsemen on horseback throughout the colony, from settlement to settlement, issued a conscription order to the immigrants, and the immigrants who received the conscription order had to report to the nearest military camp within the stipulated time.

The full name of the defense force is the "** Colonial Defense Force", although its backbone is transferred from the country, in the form of stationed in the colony "permanent" army units, but in the defense force there are a large number of immigrants, different from the country, according to the colonial decree, in the colony every immigrant must serve in the defense force for 6 months, and then conduct no less than 30 days of training every year.

In contrast to the separation of military and government at home, in the colonies, the military power was often under the control of the governor, who was both the civil and military governor, because the conscription orders were issued by the Governor's Office, and after these conscription orders were issued, if the conscripted immigrants did not report to the army within the prescribed time, they would not only face military punishment and be prosecuted for desertion, but also civil punishment - their land would be confiscated.

The land of the colony did not belong to individuals, at least until the royal amnesty, the land of the colony still belonged to the royal family in name and belonged to His Majesty the Emperor, as for the immigrants who were mere cultivators, they were given the land for free, and cultivated the land in an almost gratuitous way, and this did not mean that they did not have responsibilities and obligations, it was their duty to serve, and it was their duty to defend the colony.

When a call-up is equated with one's wealth and status, no one will refuse to be called.

After receiving the conscription order, Fang Jing did not hesitate, as a captured Taiping Army veteran, he is no stranger to war, not only in China, as early as five years ago, he came here, came to the Central African colony, at that time, he took a knife and gun to teach the local natives, the colonial cause has never been so gentle and elegant on the surface, perhaps in the official mouth, the colonial cause here is different from the barbarism of the Europeans, but he has experienced the pioneering period, very clear at the beginning, What is it like here.

"You, Shima is the best ...... back"

The **** holding her son looked at her husband with those bright eyes, and asked in word-by-word, somewhat stiff Chinese.

"Jiali, only oil me."

When his wife's words fell, he was about to pin the pistol to his waist Fang Jing, thinking of the few indentured slaves in the family, no, they were indigenous indentured laborers, so he pulled out his pistol and said to his daughter-in-law.

"It doesn't matter to you yourself, when they are disobedient, let Lao An use a whip, those people don't obey anything, only the whip, if there are still people who are disobedient, they will shoot ......"

Telling his wife who married here from Japan, Fang Jing handed her the gun, he had taught her to shoot, and more than once, for immigrant families, everyone must learn to shoot, and even immigrants need to serve in the defense army, that is, they need to receive military training there, and then learn to shoot, only in this way can they protect the safety of their families, after all, this is a colony, although the untamed indigenous tribes will eventually disappear into the rainforest, but who knows? Maybe some untamed people will pop up again. What's more, there is only such an immigrant farm in the more than ten miles of Fangyuan here, and without weapons, how can a woman protect herself.

Of course, this possibility is almost zero, as one of the earliest immigrants, Fang Jing knows the indentured laborers better than anyone else, and those who are extremely tame are not even in danger of flies.

"I've eaten, don't worry! My hometown and I will be waiting for you to come home in Jiali. ”

Holding the gun, Aoi nodded solemnly, and then she sent her husband out of the Tang-style wooden building, where a native in Han clothes was leading a horse in front of the stairs outside the door, while two other indigenous maids stood by the corridor.

This is what is the envy of the country's compatriots the most, in the African colonies, almost every normal immigrant lives a very prosperous life - the family has hundreds or even thousands of acres of land, there is a beautiful mansion, there are indigenous housekeepers in the mansion, there are indigenous maids, everyone lives like an old man.

As for Fang Jing, who had made war exploits in the defense army, his military exploits earned him as much as 2,000 acres of arable land and as many as 40 indentured laborers, and when he was free to leave the defense army, he became a wealthy landlord.

Farmland, horses and guns are the three indispensable things for the life of immigrants, of course, for the landlord, the symbol of wealth is the indentured labor, these cheap indentured labor is the greatest symbol of wealth in a manor, just like now, as the lord Fang Jing is about to leave, his servants are respectfully sending him. The maids looked at the old man even more, praying to God with teary eyes, praying that God would bless the old man to come back safely.

"You must come back safely!"

When her husband got on the horse and was about to leave, *** walked to her husband's side again, looking up at her husband, those eyes were full of strong affection, and a rich life after a few years of marriage, for Aoi, who was born in a poor family, she had already regarded this man as her heaven.

Bending down and tapping the back of his wife's head, Fang Jing tasted her lips fiercely, laughing when she couldn't even breathe.

"Girl, obediently take care of your home, wait for your man to come back!"

So saying, he rode his horse along the dirt road and left the manor, and in the fields on both sides of the road, the indentured laborers who were working saw the old man leave, they all stood respectfully in the fields and bowed to the old man. And in my heart I prayed for the lord, praying that their lord would return safely.

In the days that followed, hundreds of thousands of immigrants in each of the Chinese Empire's colonies in Africa were making their final mobilization, bringing their own weapons, their own horses, and even their own military uniforms and food, and rushing from their respective granges to the nearest barracks. This is because most of the migrants are located in remote areas and they have no idea what is going on.

"Hey, buddy, do you know what's going on?"

Holding an old-fashioned Han-style rifle in his hand, as soon as he entered the barracks, Zhao San asked the people in front of him a little nervously, along the way, he saw many people like him rushing to the barracks, and he even abandoned the work at hand - there were still more than 140 acres of land at home that had not been cultivated. As an ordinary immigrant, he obtained 200 acres of land, and now only less than 60 acres have been cultivated, although there are still more than 140 acres of land that have not been cultivated, but he is still envious of those soldiers stationed in the country, even the lowest rank of the first class can get 200 acres of land, but this is not all, they will get 100 acres for every year of service, although 1000 acres are capped, but when they retire, plus military merits, even the worst people, there will be thousands of acres of land, So the best life of the immigrants is those soldiers, after receiving the call-up this time, he also came over without hesitation, he was eager to earn more land for himself by killing the enemy.

"You don't know yet? Didn't read the newspaper? ”

The man in front of him looked at him like an idiot.

"The place where I live is more than 100 miles away from here, except for the natives who don't wear pants nearby, and if they want to read the newspaper, someone has to deliver it......"

What's more, I have to be literate first, muttering in his heart, Zhao San is looking forward to whether to pacify the indigenous tribe, if so, even if it is the worst, he can get a few contract workers, in this way, it will be easy to work in the future.

When the time comes, we will be like those old men, lying down in the corridor, watching those people work in the fields, where there are two indentured laborers at home, but all day long, we will be tired and alive.

"Come on, Zhao San, it's just that someone delivers the newspaper, you have to be able to understand what is written on it."

Without waiting for the man to answer, someone exposed Zhao San's words, and when he heard the voice, Zhao San turned his head and immediately recognized who the officer who walked away.

"Battalion, battalion commander,"

As soon as he saw the battalion commander, Zhao San immediately stood up and saluted.

"Zhao San has seen the chief, hello sir!"

"Okay, don't fix this, what's the matter, we can't keep it together, but we have to fight with real swords, how about it, you kid shouldn't be weak!"

Li Cunxin had a smile on his face, although he is still an army officer, he is also a battalion commander in the defense army, according to the habit of the colony, the army officer to the defense force is "one level higher", here because his subordinates will be enriched with many immigrants to form the defense force.

"Look at what the chief said, if I have weak legs, it will be raised by my stepmother! Sir, what's going on? Is there that blind rebellion? As long as you give an order, sir, we will go over immediately and destroy them directly, leaving no ...... behind."

As if to show his determination, Zhao San even pulled out a machete from his waist.

"When the time comes, cut off their heads and use the night pot ......"

Against the natives, sometimes a machete is better than a gun, of course, you need to use a platoon of guns to break their will to resist, and then you can slash at will like a watermelon. Zhao San's words immediately caused a burst of echo beside him,

"Come on, put your knife away!"

Looking at their excited looks, Li Cunxin's expression was a little dignified, and he looked at Zhao San and said.

"What we are going to fight this time is not an aborigine, it is the British, we have a war with the British, when the time comes, if the British fight, can we keep the big guy's grange, but it is all to ourselves, you remember, once the fight starts, what are you defending......"

Looking around at these yesterday's peasants and today's soldiers, Li Cunxin said in a solemn tone.

"We are defending not just the colonies of the Empire, but our own property, our own estate, our own life! We're going to tell the damned British, with our guns, that they're never going to take the colony out of us! ”
