Chapter 171: Agent to Agent
Yue Ben is definitely one of the most hated countries by the Chinese, and he himself sent countless spies to China in advance for their so-called mainland plan, so Yu Ben can find out more information about the Han Kingdom than Western countries. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
If a spy who is proficient in Chinese is standing next to you, you will not be able to find out that he is himself, which also provides a basis for him to enter the coolie camp, as long as the spy becomes an officer and soldier of a certain city at will or makes a more serious mistake in the territory of the Han Kingdom, but the crime is not deadly, then the spy will easily blend into the coolie camp and start planning a coolie riot.

Shaanxi Province, Chixi Section of the Railway Line, No. 59 Labor Camp.
There were more than 5,000 coolies in the No. 59 Labor Battalion, a small number of whom were banner men, a quarter of them were criminals from Siqi Province, and the rest were captured Qing officers and soldiers, and of course, there were a few spies who were mixed into the labor camp.
On the other hand, the No. 59 Labor Battalion is a garrison company with a total of more than 120 people, and more than 320 auxiliary policemen, that is to say, an armed policeman has to guard nearly 50 people, and as for the auxiliary policemen armed with broadswords and spears, their deterrent power against coolies is less than one-fifth of that of the armed police.
In order to prevent the coolies from escaping or rioting against the guards, each coolie was heavily handcuffed and shackled, and although the coolies with handcuffs and shackles were less effective when building roads, they were still more useful when the number of troops was insufficient.
As night fell, the 59th laborer returned to the camp with food ready, a full portion of grains and a handful of pickles.
The coolies are accustomed to taking the food and eating all the food, leaving nothing left, the food is not delicious, but there are still so many people in this era who are hungry, it is good for them to be able to eat enough, and they are picky about anything, and when they are hungry, they don't care about anything.
At the beginning, the pampered bannermen and the rich people entered the labor camps, and they were reluctant to eat this kind of food, but in the end, they couldn't stand the hunger, and they had to eat it if they didn't eat, and now they can habitually eat the food quickly after getting it.
After dinner, the coolies returned to their houses to rest.
The house was made of wood, barely sheltered from the wind and rain, a room of about 20 square meters, enough for eighteen people, and there were no beds in the house, so the coolies could only sleep on the floor or spread a layer of grass.
A room is a shed, there is a shed, responsible for the management of the other seventeen people, this shed chief is not chosen by the guard, but the caretaker let each shed choose by himself, the shed chief can get more food, but the shed chief has more responsibilities, once his subordinates have problems, this shed chief will also be punished.
Although the coolies had worked for a day, it was still early, and everyone could not sleep, so they chattered boringly, but the sound had to be restrained as much as possible, and if the noise was too loud, the people in the shed would be taken out by the guards to stand all night, and the next day they would continue to work.
The one hundred and thirty-eighth shed.
"Have you heard, there were two people carrying railroad tracks over there today, and they were accidentally smashed, one person was hit in the brain and was killed directly, and another person was hit in the leg, and the whole leg was wasted, and now I don't know where it was thrown." A sharp-eared monkey-cheeked man in a room whispered, and as he spoke, he looked at the door, as if he was afraid that someone would be outside the door.
"I know what Xiao Zhang said."
"I know, I saw it with my own eyes, that guy's head is cracked, and white flowers are leaking."
When one person starts, the others start talking, but their voices are more restrained, and no one dares to speak loudly.
"Boss, how many people have died along the way, will we also ...... that day" Xiao Zhang, who had the sharp-eared monkey cheeks, said to a young man leaning against the wall and pretending to sleep, this young man is the head of this shed, and he is still relatively handsome, the key is to be able to fight, and only by subduing other people in this shed can he become the head of the shed.
"Crow's mouth, Lao Tzu still wants to leave here and return to his hometown to marry his daughter-in-law and give birth to a lot of dolls." A big man said with a glaring when he heard Xiao Zhang's words.
"Da Mao, do you believe what they said about letting us go home after the road is repaired, hehe, Lao Tzu doesn't believe the words of this group of 'short-haired thieves'." A man with a stronger physique than Da Mao touched his bare head and said with a smile
"Who knows if we can get out of here alive and live one day at a time." The young man who was in the middle of the sleep opened his eyes and sighed, then turned around and continued to sleep.
Xiao Zhang glanced outside the door a few times, and after feeling that there was no one, he made a silent gesture and whispered: "Shh, let me tell you something, the people in the shed next door seem to be planning to escape, and it seems that there are already several people in the shed in series." ā
The bald man glanced at him when he heard Xiao Zhang's words, but said, "Cut, let's joke, with these iron things on your hands and feet, who can run, and before they can go far, the 'short-haired thief' will knock them down with one shot." ā
"It seems that there is a lock in their shed that can be unlocked, and the lock can be opened with a small branch, and when the time comes, as soon as the lock is opened, everyone looks for an opportunity to escape separately, and there are few 'short-haired thieves', and there is still a great chance that they can escape." Xiao Zhang explained.
"Really?" Hearing Xiao Zhang's words, several more people asked.
"Xiao Zhang, why don't you denounce those people, so that you have made a great contribution, hey, no, don't say that you also want to escape, you don't dare, you want to pull a few more people." A person next to Xiao Zhang suddenly realized, and the others also understood, but Xiao Zhang scratched his head embarrassedly, okay, Xiao Zhang is also a bald head, and all the coolies have been shaved into bald heads, which is more convenient.
"Xiao Zhang, are you sure about this, if you are sure that Lao Tzu is one, Lao Tzu doesn't want to be angry here."
"Xiao Zhang is also one of me."
There were eighteen people in the shed, except for Xiao Zhang and the head of the shed, everyone else was a little moved, even Da Mao was no exception.
"You're all going to run away, I'm the only one left, then I can't be dragged down by you bastards, and I'm the only one to leave." The head of the shed also sat up straight at this time and said.
In this way, the eighteen people in the shed decided to escape, and Xiao Zhang You said: "I'll inquire again tomorrow, and if we can succeed, let's run away together." ā
"Okay." Seventeen voices rang out in the room.
Then the crowd was silent, not knowing what to think.
In the afternoon of the next day, the armed police and auxiliary police guarding the No. 59 Labor Battalion suddenly took action and arrested more than 500 people at once, including 18 people from the 138th Shed.
In the end, more than 20 of the more than 300 people were put back, they were the informants, and the young director of the 138th shed did not die and did not return to the labor camp, he was an agent of the Han Kingdom, and was ordered to lurk in the labor camp, but the sharp-beaked monkey cheek Xiao Zhang was a spy of Yuben.
