Workers who have left their homes in China to work overseas are finding that they are finally working less. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info From the beginning of all the way backwards, to the later strides, now, it is finally time to rest. The labor bureau in Shandong was the first to send news that the workers' work could be over, and then they could wait for the train and ship to send them back to their hometowns.

Tessie's war has finally come to an end, and the front-line soldiers of the Tiele Empire finally no longer endure endless torture and punishment. Faced with the superiors who ordered them to face the guns and die, they finally let out a desperate roar and died with them.

For Prussia, this could be regarded as good news, but in the face of the overall decline, it was insignificant. After getting the strong pill, the allied army showed great courage on the battlefield, and although the general army was also supplied with the strong pill, but in the war, it was already overwhelmed.

The victory in the East African battlefield could not reverse the overall situation of the war, and the Western Front was defeated and retreated several battles, and the front had to be moved back. Even the battlefield on the Eastern Front was forced to move in in an all-round way, bringing troops to fill the holes on the Western Front. The performance of the Central Powers was not satisfactory, and neither the Ottomans nor the Kingdom of Sardinia could afford to support the war.

An even bigger blow came from President Yankee's declaration of war. Congress finally approved the Yankees' formal entry into the Ctesi War, but on the side of the Allies. During the Civil War, Prussia gave a lot of aid to the North, but unexpectedly, at the end of the mountain, it suffered another fatal blow.

In the previous exercises of the General Staff Headquarters, the Yankees were always considered to be their allies, and their industrial capacity and troops were counted among their own side. This situation was reversed, one in and one out, and the entire campaign plan was completely bankrupt. The Prussian army had to retreat in great strides, and even though it relied on tactical means to achieve a few small victories, the strategic defeat was already very obvious.

It is said that Prussia had to bow its haughty head and send someone to sue for peace with Tessie, in other words, to surrender. At the end of the war, these laborers finally had the opportunity to return home. Although he was not sent to the front-line battlefield, it does not mean that workmanship equals safety. Stray bullets, enemy attacks, and disease can turn workers into a foreign land.

Among the laborers, the labor mortality rate organized by the Gonghe Zhengfu is much higher than that in Shandong. The main reason is that the Kyodo government does not care about the living conditions of the workers, let alone set up medical officers, resulting in the treatment and medical treatment of a large number of workers cannot keep up, and the death is extremely unjust. However, now that the war is over, the advantages of the Kyodo government can be reflected, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will coordinate that these Kyunai workers can return to China first.

Zhengfu, who has always been ignorant of laborers, seems to have regained his long-lost conscience overnight. He attached great importance to the labor issue, contacted the ships, checked the body, signed an unknown treaty with the Entente countries, and actually sent a large number of doctors to give these laborers a physical examination. In terms of food, they also began to pay attention to the nutrition of laborers, and under the care of the government, the food of the co-dispatched workers was basically the same as that of Shandong workers, and the treatment was almost the same.

The labor camp where Mimancang is located was the first to get the news of returning to his hometown. He was in Tessie, and he saved some money, and in order to save the remittance pump, he carried it with him. In order to thank Mikoyan for taking care of him, he specially bought two bottles of foreign wine, plus a few canned meat, and when he arrived at the place, he saw Mikoyan eating cake with a Tessie woman.

As a simple countryman, he blushes even when he talks to a woman, and his appearance is very ordinary. Unlike Mikoyan, the women around him are like a marquee. He coughed twice, and Mikoyan kissed the woman on the cheek, and the woman lifted her skirt and saluted, and walked away quickly. After Mi Mancang sat down, there seemed to be the fragrance of flower water on the woman's body in the air, he took out a cigarette pouch, lit the paper medium, and used fireworks to drive away the fat powder.

"Brother Mancang, eat cake." Mikoyan pushed the cake over.

Mi Mancang shook his head, "There is also foreign girls' lipstick on this, I don't dare to eat it." I...... I'm going back soon, so I'm looking for you to have a few drinks. We brothers don't know when we will be able to meet again. Now that you are prosperous and have money, you should also think about going home and paying tribute to your ancestors. No matter where you go, you can't forget our roots, I said, you are so close to this foreign girl, shouldn't you stay overseas and not go back? ”

"How can it, Brother Mancang thinks too much, I also work here. When the official affairs are explained, they have to return to China to listen to it. With these women, it's just a dewy couple, everyone is hello and I'm good now, no one knows anyone at that time, it's okay. I heard that your shed left first, and many people cried? ”

"Yes, the whole shed wept. It's not that everyone has no bones, it's really too hard, everyone thinks about the sins they suffered here, think about the dead folks, who doesn't feel sad. Those folks, if they can stand up for a while, they can take a boat home and live a good life. People leave their hometowns, and in this life, everyone vows never to come out again. Although 70% of this month's salary was deducted in order to pay for the ferry tickets and food on board, everyone is willing, as long as they can get home one step earlier, they can do anything. ”

Mikoyan smiled, "Brother Mancang go back, what are you going to do?" ”

"Don't do anything, use this money to buy some land. We farmers still have to guard our fields to be steadfast. When I go back, I will buy land, live a good life, and rely on my strength, I believe that life can get better and better. In the future, when you go back to your hometown, my brother will invite you to eat well. ”

"Then Brother Xie first. However, I will say something unpleasant, what should he do if he doesn't let you farm? You see, Zhengfu is also checking the body and managing nutrition, which is not like the attitude towards workers. When you came to Tessie, they didn't see you so respectful. Now that I treat you as ancestors, don't you think, what is there to say here? ”

Mi Mancang's heart also raised, "Brother, what did you say...... Can't you? Can you still deceive our people? Besides, we are helping the poor, so what is there to deceive? ”

"It's hard to say, anyway, looking at his style now, it's not like treating you as ordinary croppers. If he goes so well, let you go back to your hometown to farm, why bother to check your body, and let you eat and drink well, after all, there is a cost. Duan Zhiquan even has to deduct his salary, and at a glance, he knows that he is not a generous character. Be careful yourselves, don't fall for him. ”

Mi Mancang took a sip of wine and pondered for a while, "I always feel that you still think too much, Mr. Duan is not such a person." Besides, he is also from Anhui, no matter what, everyone is a township party, and fellow villagers can't pit fellow villagers, right? ”

Mikoyan smiled and said nothing, only shook his head, and didn't say anything. The two pushed the cups and changed the cups, drank a few cups, and Mi Mancang asked, "Brother, when will you return?" ”

"I can't go back first, the handsome man has an order, the villagers go back first, we are the ones who eat official dinners, and there are messengers. Gotta go to Prussia. Didn't it surrender? Now is a good time to do business, we will first go to Prussia to fight the front station, and the commander's envoy will arrive on the back foot, and go to Prussia to pick up the ocean. ”

Mi Mancang nodded, "Oh, this rich man still calculates, the richer he is, the more he can get rich, and he still thinks about picking up foreigners." ”

"It's nothing, we have other things." Mikoyan smiled and did not continue the conversation. He had been ordered to go to Prussia himself, in fact, to make a front stop for the marshal, and the marshal himself would take his family on a trip to Tessie. This kind of thing is highly confidential, so naturally it is not my turn to tell Mi Mancang.

The day of departure soon came, and the government was very concerned about the laborers, and hired a paddle steamer from Albion and a team of foreign soldiers as escorts. I heard that there are robbers at sea, and they are always safe when they are guarded by soldiers. Excited laborers waved goodbye to the send-off procession as they boarded the boat. As Mi Mancang walked, he looked back at the compatriots on the dock, and those workers sent by Shandong Province forced their cakes, canned meat, cigarettes, and some daily necessities to these compatriots. Although everyone may not be a fellow countryman, being in a foreign country and being just a compatriot is enough to form an innate closeness.

Good...... They're all good people. Looking at the stuffed things in his hand, Mi Mancang's heart seemed to be filled with a fire, and his body was full of warmth.

What made his warmth disappear was the soldier's bright bayonet. As soon as the ship left the dock, a large number of soldiers appeared, expelling the laborers into the bilge. The soldiers were extremely unfriendly to the laborers, and their guns were loaded with ammunition, and there was even a cannon pointed at the laborers' quarters.

The laborers had seen this kind of battle when they traveled from China to Taixi, but they could not understand why they should be treated this way when they returned home.

Soon, their questions were answered. Several communist soldiers in military uniforms entered the warehouse and commanded loudly, "This road is not safe, there may be pirates attacking the fleet, in order to ensure safety, you must hand over all the money on your body." And these foods, too, have to be handed over. This is the state for your good, who can guarantee that this food has not been poisoned? If someone destroys it, you won't be able to save your life. Look, a lot of Lu goods here, as a native of Anhui, do you use Lu goods like words? What are you rubbing, neat point! This money is not for you, we keep it for you, you know? Let's register one by one, and I'll return it to you when we get off the boat, what are you afraid of! ”

In the face of the bayonet, the laborers could not resist and could only pay obediently. Although the other party promised to return it, the Buddha that had been accumulated with great difficulty was taken away like this, and everyone's hearts were a little bottomless. Due to the confiscation of food, only the food provided by the ship could only be eaten along the way.

Even the farmer, who has suffered from the habit of suffering since childhood, has difficulty tolerating this so-called food, especially after the forcible removal of the pastries and canned meat. Discontent grows in the ranks of the workforce, but these people can't really think of anything good to do other than curse. Mi Mancang was glad that he had the foresight to hide some of the money in a private place, and these people should not be able to find out. But at the same time, he remembered Mikoyan's words again, could it be that he checked his body and ate well, he was really uneasy and kind?

The long voyage, with the food at these intakes, and the insufficient ration, made every laborer physically exhausted by hunger. The boat finally stopped, and the laborers walked out of the cabin, because they had not seen the sun for too long, the sunlight became extremely dazzling, and everyone subconsciously covered their faces with their hands.

Just as glaring as the sunlight was the light of the bayonet. At the dock, these overseas travelers did not wait for their long-awaited families, but only saw a group of Beiyang soldiers waiting for them.

Under the five-color flag, a young man scanned the crowd with a proud expression. Most of the laborers knew him, and some people couldn't help but shout: "Supervisor Xu, it's Supervisor Xu!" ”

Xu Youzheng, who single-handedly promoted the laborers to go abroad, glanced at everyone and nodded: "Fellow villagers, you have worked hard. Xu knows that you now want to go home, reunite with your family, and use the money you earn from overseas to build a house and buy land for your family. Therefore, the first thing I did was to send the money to everyone, and to return everyone's hard-earned money according to registration. ”

The laborers were not naïve, they did not expect to receive the full amount of the Buddha that they had handed over. In the face of this slightest conflict, it is a volley of guns and cannons, even if a part of the water head is deducted, or the silver dollar is turned into a banknote, they can accept it. However, when the soldiers returned their savings, there was a commotion among the laborers.

What was issued to them was neither silver dollars nor banknotes, but fluttering sheets of "patriotic bonds." ”

Laborers fear death, but they also feel sorry for their hard-earned money. Someone couldn't help but shout, "What is this? How can we take away real money and give us this kind of paper? ”

Xu Youzheng waved his hand, "Don't mess around, listen to me." Our country, now it is very difficult. Although the war is over, our country is still in the midst of internal and external troubles, and in order to ensure that our children and grandchildren can live a good life, as citizens of the community, we should contribute to the country. This money is not taken, but borrowed. Not only will the public debt be repaid, but you will also have to pay interest. When you get the money, you can buy land and build houses and use it as you go, what is the benefit to the country? The state uses this money to train and prepare for military equipment, so as to ensure that we are not bullied like in the past. You see, on these public debts, it is agreed that the interest will be repaid in five years and the principal will be paid in five years. After careful calculation, it is more cost-effective than what you have in the bank, what are you not satisfied with? ”

The voices of the laborers, subdued by the great reason and the greater bayonet, Xu Youzheng said: "I know that when you return to your hometown, you will be unemployed. Everyone Anhui people help Anhui people, I won't watch you have no job. I've already figured out a way out for you: become a soldier. From now on, all of you are fighters of our Border Guards. I will train you from farmers to qualified soldiers, and take you back everything that the Commonwealth has lost! Prove to foreigners that we Chinese are not weak! As long as you work hard, not only can you pay off the public debt, but you can also get more money. If you try to escape...... The public debt is immediately voided! ”

Mi Mancang didn't say a word, the sun was dazzling, and he was dizzy. In his mind, in his mind, he remembered what Mikoyan had said. I am by no means a special case, all the Gonghe dispatched laborers are estimated to be forcibly conscripted, it seems that Shandong is still good, at least Shandong dispatched laborers, will not be forced to conscript.

Several laborers who refused to serve, because they could not sacrifice their personal interests for the country, Xu supervised the decision to sacrifice their lives. With a few heads, and the end of not being able to get the silver dollars back, the laborers had to accept the arrangement of fate, take off their overalls, and change into military uniforms.

The money hidden on Mi Mancang's body was not discovered, and with this money, he could have fled back to his hometown or fled to other places. But this time, he was not ready to run again, on the contrary, he was ready to seriously learn to shoot and stab. Looking at the villagers who were lucky enough to come back from the battlefield of Taixi and die at the hands of their own people in a blink of an eye, for the first time in his life, he wanted to put down his hoe and pick up a knife. Only with a knife in your hand can you keep everything you have.
