Chapter 172: Iron-Blooded Means

"Mole, your next mission is to find the hidden spy in Labor Camp 32. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Understood." The mole replied.

On closer inspection, this intelligence agent codenamed Mole is actually the head of the 138th shed of the 59th Labor Battalion.

The spy used various methods to infiltrate the labor camp and tried to plan a riot or escape plan for the coolies, causing chaos within the Han Kingdom and forcing the Han Kingdom to mobilize more troops to deal with the coolies.

Hou Weidong, who has been promoted to the head of the Ministry of Labor, has used various countermeasures to deal with these spies, one of which is to cooperate with the Ministry of Intelligence in sending agents to infiltrate the labor camps, and this countermeasure has helped Hou Weidong crack a number of incidents of labor camp coolie riots and escapes.

In addition to cooperating with the Ministry of Intelligence, the labor camp also has a perfect system of rewards and punishments, for example, if a coolie escapes in a certain shed, once the people in the shed know about it but do not report it, then these people will also be punished, and the head of the shed will be severely punished; If one of the sheds agrees to run away together, but one of them denounces it to the top, that person will be rewarded, and the rest of the shed will be severely punished.

Especially in the current crisis situation, once the coolies riot or escape, it is basically impossible to escape death, this is the so-called killing of chickens and monkeys, or it can be said to use iron-blooded means to suppress those in the crowd with ulterior motives: they are your example!

Some premeditated riots or escapes were cracked by the guards because of other coolie reports or hidden coolie agents, making the riots or escapes stillborn, but there were also many riots or escapes that were successfully launched, which had a serious impact on some labor camps, but most of the riots or escapes were suppressed by the guards of the various labor camps, and the heavy machine guns that occupied the best positions spewed out a fiery snake to shoot the coolies who dared to riot or escape.

After suppressing the coolie riots or escapes, the guards will set off a bloody storm in the labor camp, and anyone who does not report it will be severely punished, and the guards will carry out the order of "it is better to kill by mistake than to let go", anyway, the people who enter the labor camp are basically scum, and it does not matter if you kill the wrong person.

Of course, the guards can't kill indiscriminately at will, the truth that things must be reversed is still understood, and the coolies are killed, who will build the road?

Under the iron-blooded suppression of the guards, there are many fewer coolies who want to move their minds, and the failure of rioting or escaping will only lead to a dead end, and working as a coolie in a labor camp, although he is tired, he can eat well, and as long as he is careful, he will not lose his life.

Under the iron-blooded means, the coolies did have a lot of peace, but the remaining spies of the Confessional were instigating the coolies to rebel in the shadows.

"The 'short-haired thieves' are all liars, and once we finish building the road, it will be our time of death."

"The 'short-haired thief' doesn't treat it as a human being, more than a dozen people died in our camp yesterday, maybe you and I will die tomorrow, no matter what, it's better for us to fight with the 'short-haired thief', and there will still be a glimmer of life."

"The brothers of the other sheds have decided to resist, can we still sit here and wait for death? There are many people and there is great power, I don't believe that there are so many of us, and we can't beat those 'short-haired thieves'? ”

The spy used various languages to induce coolies, and the unwilling coolies in their hearts were easily induced by the spies, and one after another riots or escapes occurred, the purpose was to keep the guards busy suppressing the coolies, and the number of guards was relatively small, once the incidents of riots or escapes continued to increase, then in the end they could only continue to increase the number of guards and coolies.

However, the strength of the Han Kingdom is insufficient, and once the troops are increased to guard the coolies, they can only be transferred from other positions, which causes the position to be empty, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of, and the situation of the Han Kingdom will be even more dangerous.

Therefore, it is not easy to increase the number of guards in the labor camp.

Faced with this situation, in addition to asking the agents of the Ministry of Intelligence to carefully look for the spies who had infiltrated the labor camp, Hou Weidong could only let his subordinates carry out more harsh methods, no matter what kind of trouble, they only solved it by "killing", killing the coolies frightened, and killing the coolies even under the guidance of the spies, they no longer dared to think about rioting or escaping.

In late July and 11 days, more than 540,000 coolies were killed in hundreds of labor camps across the country, as a result of various riots and escapes, and 61 armed policemen and 384 auxiliary policemen were killed.

The war between the Han Kingdom and Britain, France, Russia, and Yuben was about to break out, and if the situation in the labor camp was more chaotic, Hou Weidong could only use the last resort, that is, to kill some of the coolies to reach a controllable level of the existing troops.

This method can only be used as a last resort, after all, the national road repair plan requires a lot of manpower, if all the coolies are killed, can ordinary people still be hired to do this kind of work, which is very dangerous in modern times?

What's more, ordinary people can't work as hard as coolies, they don't need to pay wages, as long as they have a place to live and food.

Fortunately, at the end of July, the number of coolies in the labor camp had temporarily stopped growing, and Hou Weidong, as the head of the labor department, finally breathed a sigh of relief because of the deterrence of iron-blooded means on the one hand, and the efforts of the agents of the Ministry of Intelligence to detect the spies on the other hand, and the number of coolie riots or escapes in the labor camp dropped sharply, and Hou Weidong, as the minister of labor, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In Outer Mongolia, the envoys of the Han army and the envoys of Russia successively visited the living Buddha of Outer Mongolia, Buzundamba VIII.

The fall of the Manchu Qing has been known to the princes and nobles of Outer Mongolia, and the sudden fall of the great Manchu Qing made the princes and nobles worried, because their backers were gone, but it also meant that the shackles on their bodies were gone, and many princes and nobles clamored to reproduce the glory of the Mongol Empire.

Of course, there are very few princes and nobles who have this kind of thought, and most of the princes and nobles are thinking about what their future will be, there is a powerful Russia in the north, and the Han Kingdom that has just destroyed the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the south.

At this time, the arrival of the envoys of the two countries made the princes and nobles feel that they had become sweets, and the Han Kingdom and Russia were both wooing themselves.

The princes and nobles of Outer Mongolia are destined to be disappointed, because there are too many envoys from the Han Kingdom and Russia who are more resolute, and Outer Mongolia has only two choices, surrender or die, and the princes and nobles want to reproduce the glory of the Mongol Empire.

The princes and nobles of Outer Mongolia were a little undecided, so they should first look at the situation before deciding. (To be continued.) )
