The smell of gunpowder smoke mixed with the smell of corpses in the wind makes it uncomfortable for those who are not familiar with this smell at first, but after getting used to it, they feel that it is nothing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoEveryone has their own number of lives, they can't live or die, they can't live or die. Whether it is a foreign gun or a foreign bayonet, you have to eat when you should eat, and you have to make money when you should make money-Mi Mancang thought so.

As an ordinary villager who has lived in Anhui for generations, Mimancang's family has no history to boast of, and his ancestors have neither paid tribute nor produced generals. If you write a resume, his ancestors for several generations, the common resume is two words: farmer.

As the state of Dajin got better day by day, the son of Shengtian was better than the other, and the Mi family successfully developed from a homesteader to a tenant farmer. Fortunately, although the ancestral business is not guaranteed, the leader is finally complete. The wisdom of their ancestors allowed them to avoid several deadly disasters. Whether it was the long-haired trap in Anhui, or the later imperial army would suppress Anqing, the Mi family was always lucky to avoid the soldiers. Although during the evacuation period, it is inevitable that several children and nephews will starve to death or be devoured by wild beasts, but they can finally continue the incense, and they are still happy compared to the kind of people who are full of death.

When the five-color flag replaced the Yellow Dragon Banner, the Mi family was still a tenant, except for the need to pay more taxes on grain every year and owe more debts, there was not much difference. The only problem is that Mi Mancang found that he had no money to ask for a wife.

Although he and his father work hard every day, and my mother does not stop for a moment, his life is still getting poorer and poorer, and he has no money to marry, which is a very serious problem. If you don't have a wife, you won't have a son, and if you don't have a son, how should your Mi family continue, this is a big deal. Although the cost of marrying a poor family is not so large, but building a house and giving a wife a bite to eat are all necessary conditions.

There are too few women in the village, and when faced with a choice, they will definitely choose those who can provide these conditions, such as Mi Mancang, and it will not be their turn. Every time he thought about it, he couldn't help but complain that the people in the village should not have drowned the baby girl they gave birth to in order to save a mouthful of food. If they grow up, they won't be able to marry now, and they won't be single. Although three of his own sisters were drowned, there was no way to do it...... In short, it's still bad for the folks.

Simply complaining won't solve the problem, you still have to find a way to get rich. Shandong is said to be full of gold, but the wise elders of the Mi family resolutely prevent their children and grandchildren from going to Shandong. Those who get rich there either have a skill or have drunk foreign ink. Ordinary people go to a foreign land to become tenants and make a fortune? This is certainly impossible. If you want to get rich, you have to be a soldier, so isn't it to be shot? It's crazy to do this.

Just when the Mi family was worried about how Mi Mancang would marry, the opportunity came. Mr. Duan is worthy of being a native of Anhui, and he really took care of Sangzi, and actually brought the good thing of going abroad as a long-term worker to his hometown. As long as you work long hours for foreigners, you will be paid five silver dollars a month. And only one yuan is deducted from the food expenses, that is, the whole four silver dollars can be dropped, and nearly fifty yuan can be saved in a year! That's fifty dollars, when have the croppers seen so much money?

Relying on his excellent physical fitness and honest temperament, Mimancang successfully won a sponsorship, followed by a free bath, shaved his head, hair and clothes, and sent him on a steamer bound for overseas. The experience of sailing at sea was not pleasant, a large number of people were crammed into a small room, like a pigeon cage, and the bumpy sea made the dirt buns vomit in a mess that had never been on a boat in their lives. Rancid diet and water, coupled with a crowded and closed environment, made more than half of the people sick, and Mimankura, who had five acquaintances, left forever in this environment.

There are dead people on the ship, there are no coffins, the crew members put up their hands and feet, and throw them into the sea to make a tent, and there is nothing to say about who dies and who lives and who lives and dies. This kind of travel is not free, it is said that all the ferry tickets are privately advanced by Duan Zongli, and they will be deducted from the part-time job fee in the future, but think about it, each person only needs to pay ten yuan to get from China to Taixi, and this fare is already cheap and cannot be cheaper. No matter what the diet is or how bad the environment is, I'm alive anyway, isn't it?

It wasn't until he arrived at Taixi that Mi Mancang knew that he was actually sent to the battlefield as a master. repairing fortifications, repairing forts, carrying ammunition, carrying the wounded, carrying the dead...... Every day when they wake up, there are countless jobs waiting for them. What's worse is that some of the work has to be carried out on the battlefield.

Foreign devils are unreasonable, this is something that the Chinese know from the time Lin Gong baked duck slices. But they never thought that they were unreasonable to such an extent. While guns were still being fired on the battlefield, they were asked to build fortifications and fortresses, and on one occasion, a group of foreign soldiers even rushed to the construction site where they were with bayonets. In that impact, Mi Mancang lost several acquaintances.

Originally, he ran away when he heard the gunshot, which was the ancestral training of the Mi family. But where should Tessie, who is not familiar with life, go? Especially after seeing that the foreign officer killed a few of his fellow villagers without hesitation, Mi Mancang knew even more that he couldn't run away this time.

His luck was good, whether it was a stray bullet or a cannon, it didn't kill him, and more importantly, he actually met the villagers here.

Mi Mancang, who has never read a book, naturally can't say such a thing as a hometown acquaintance, but he understands a truth, fellow villagers always help their fellow villagers, not to mention, everyone is still an ancestor.

That was because he couldn't understand the words of the foreigner, when he almost received the other party's leather whip, a Chinese in a suit suddenly appeared, muttering foreign words to the foreigner, and finally, a foreign officer came, and after the three people said a lot, the person with the whip left, and Mi Mancang escaped a beating.

He is not afraid of beating, as a tenant, he has been used to being beaten by the owner since he was a child, which is nothing. But the one in the suit, when he reported his name to him, he found that the two were actually fellow villagers, and they actually had the same surname, and the other party was also surnamed Mi, and there was a very strange name: Mikoyan.

It is said that this is the name given by the handsome, and the rice mancang sounds good, but it also sounds good, and the rice with lamb must be delicious. But I have never eaten sheep in my life, so I have to dream about it. This lamb and himself are four generations up, and he is a grandfather, but he has already moved to Shandong, and later heard that he was a bandit in Mengyin, and he thought that he had already eaten the king's law. Unexpectedly, not only are there still people alive, but this lamb also went to Citi to fight. was not killed by the guns of foreigners, but also made meritorious service, and was given the name of the marshal, and this time he also followed the Ludi migrant workers to Taixi to do management work.

As soon as they arrived in Taixi, the laborers from Anhui knew that there was also a group of Shandong laborers working here. For these compatriots, everyone is not hostile, but there is no closeness either. Although they are all Chinese, they rarely come and go, and the key is that everyone can't think of going together.

Workers need discipline, even if they dig rivers, they have to be organized, but the old rules are that the foreman has the final say. Who who can come out to work, who still does not understand these truths? However, the discipline of Shandong laborers is really incomprehensible to them. Every morning, I get up and go out to exercise, line up, shout trumpets and walk in line, and sing. It's like a soldier, and I'm here to work, not to be a soldier, so why is this so?

Moreover, Shandong laborers dress better than themselves, eat better than themselves, and do lighter work than themselves, and a group of people in suits are scurrying around here, drinking with foreigners, handing cigarettes, and saying some foreign words, and Shandong laborers can be assigned some relatively easy and slightly less dangerous jobs. This made Anhui laborers extremely angry, not suffering from poverty but suffering from inequality, in this case, who can treat them as their own people?

But the same sect is another matter, after recognizing the same sect, soon Mi Mancang turned his back on his Anhui brothers, went through a formality, and joined the Shandong labor camp. In fact, this is not an isolated case, according to Mikoyan, the Shandong Labor Dispatch Bureau, which is an organization of Chinese, will safeguard the interests of every Chinese compatriot, Anhui people, Shandong people, and even other provinces, without discrimination.

Mi Mancang doesn't understand so much, and even what is called the Shandong Labor Dispatch Bureau, he can't figure it out, how can a group of coolies have to set up a yamen? Can this Chinese Yamen be recognized in foreign countries? Foreigners are notoriously unreasonable, and they can still be afraid of the yamen? He only knew that his fellow sect was very real, and he had confessed the truth to himself. For example, the monthly salary of Shandong laborers is 8 yuan, and the food expenses are not deducted, which is twice as high as themselves.

Another example is that Shandong laborers eat and dress well, which is part of the previous negotiation agreement with foreigners, why don't they have it on their side? Later, he knew that the status of Shandong laborers in Taixi was also spelled out by himself. They came before themselves, and the conditions were just as difficult, even dangerous.

At that time, it was said that the foreign devils on their side were being beaten on the head by the foreign devils on the opposite side, and the laborers had to face the baptism of bullets and bullets every day. The military training of these people is an act of self-preservation organized in this environment. Because I don't know when, the Puguoyang devils on the opposite side may kill themselves, and everyone can only win if they are organized.

According to the lamb, these laborers are real knives and guns, and they have fought with bayonets with the devils of the whole country, and their performance is much better than their own side. They fought off the attack of the Puguo people that time, and although they paid a great price, they also won the respect of the foreigners. Not only did they receive food subsidies, but they also enjoyed preferential treatment in terms of treatment.

People's lives are always earned by themselves, and Mi Mancang agrees with this very much, thinking that he runs away when he hears the sound of cannons, so he doesn't blame foreigners for beating himself. With the passage of time, more and more Anhui people also began to join the training team in Shandong, learning from the example of Shandong laborers, walking in queues and singing military songs. The Beiyang military song of the Three Kingdoms generals is easy to learn, even if you don't know how to read, you have heard storytelling, you also know Zhao Yun Guan Yu, and she sings very kindly.

As long as they behave like Shandong laborers, they can get the high opinion of foreigners, and these foreign devils can't tell who is who. Although they still only have four yuan a month in terms of wages, Mikoyan has won them a change of clothes once every three months, and has also won them a food standard of being able to eat eighty percent full, and these laborers' views of Shandong laborers have become better and better.

As for the smell of the wind, Mimankura is used to it, and to be honest, the taste is much smaller than when he first came. It's just that a few small battles have been fought, and the sound of artillery and gunfire is not as dense as in the past.

The ranks of the laborers, follow the troops. Winning or losing, he can't figure it out, but he knows that he is moving forward, this is probably winning, right? For Albiang, he can't talk about feelings. I am now messing with these foreigners, of course, I hope they win, if the people of the country win, who will they go to?

Mikoyan came to talk to his fellow sect again, and as if he was playing a trick, he took a flat wine jug from his body and sent it to Mi Mancang's hand to "foreign wine...... Haven't drunk it, have you? Take the pill and exchange it with the platoon commander of Albion. That kid turned out to be an alcoholic, but now he has become a Mighty Pill ghost, and he can change his wife with Mighty Pill, and he can't do without this. Try this again, lamb! Haven't you ever eaten it, give it to you. ”

Mi Mancang smelled the smell of mutton, so he couldn't stop nodding, "Fragrant!" It smells so good! When I smell it, I can go down to a nest. That one...... I can't eat, how can I rob you of your food. Just let me smell it and just nest up. ”

Mikoyan smiled, "Eat yours, I'm full." With the commander of the company Albion, a piece of bread and butter, I can't go hungry. Now this guy is still used to doing things, do you want to change it? ”

"Don't, we can't let the folks gossip. You don't live at home, but I still have to live in my hometown. If I let the villagers poke my backbone, then I will have no face. It's good now, get used to it, just fine. You eat bread with the foreign officer, tell me, who wins now? ”

Mi Mancang asked as he stuffed the mutton into his mouth, almost choking because he was in such a hurry that he choked. Mikoyan smiled and told him not to worry, he would definitely be able to get the mutton himself, and no one would rob him. Then he said: "It is uncertain whether you will win or lose, but Prussia has switched from offensive to defensive, and your danger must have been reduced a lot." You didn't see, the Albion people took the pill, they were like madmen, and the Prussians couldn't catch it. The next step is to be afraid that the general army will plant mines, and when the time comes, they may have to use labor to wade the mines. When the time comes, we will have to negotiate with the foreigners, and we will not be able to carry our backs. If you are forced to do this, there is a way, as soon as the mines go off, you turn around and run, and the people of Albion can't do anything. There is a labor dispatch bureau to negotiate, and they are not in a rut. ”

"It's better for Shandong to send migrant workers, and set up a yamen to take care of them, so that the workers will not suffer. You guys are like human beings. That...... If it really blows up, is there any money? ”

"There must be money, but it won't reach you. After all, Anhui is not a Guanshuai jurisdiction, and the regulations are not the same. Even your salary, Duan Crooked Nose has been deducted half, think about it, everyone is dead, and the pension can still be paid to the family? ”

When there was no comparison, Anhui laborers, who were extremely satisfied with their living conditions, were now dissatisfied with Duan Zhiquan day by day because of their counterparts in Shandong. In addition to repaying the ferry ticket money and sending it back to China, the four yuan should also be deducted from the water, which is really too much compared to Shandong.

Mi Mancang said: "Yes, it's better in Shandong, in Shandong, it's the life of people." Tell me, why can't this Guanshuai jurisdiction go to Anhui? No, after eating this piece of meat, I have to talk to the villagers, everyone can't make a contribution to the crooked nose, you have to run, you have to run. ”

Soon after, an Albiang newspaper circulated among the refugees, and the contents of it, translated by the Shandong Affairs Officer, instantly sparked a new wave of support among the workers. According to the information in the newspaper: The communist fleet arrived at Temple Street, and the communist marshal Zhao Guanhou personally went to Liaodong to preside over the transfer of residents.
