Chapter 170: Pro-People Action
Negotiations between Zhao Shijie and others and the Xin'an County Government are still continuing, but the First United and Engineer Units of the Australian Army in Hong Kong have already built fortifications and are still speeding up the hardening of the road surface, striving to complete the main road hardening problem in the military fortification within 10 days.
In addition to the soldiers and engineer company soldiers who landed on the island to protect the island, there was also a small group of students from the National Medical College who set off with the ship, led by a teacher, and the main mission of their landing on Hong Kong Island was to help local villagers who needed medical care and medicine.
In order to truly demonstrate Australia's goodwill, He Yu ordered all the landing soldiers not to shoot first unless absolutely necessary, so as to avoid causing bloodshed.
It has been five days since the landing, and the local villagers on Hong Kong Island are still a little afraid in the face of the groups of soldiers with loaded guns, if they had not stayed on the northern coast not far from the village recently, and have not entered the village, I am afraid that the villagers would have fled long ago.
These strangely dressed, flat-headed Fanbang soldiers each have a fire gun in their hands, from the shape of the fire gun is a little different from the Ming Dynasty, to be similar to the red-haired Yi people, some people can't help but speculate whether these Australians who look quite similar to the Ming Dynasty are the same as the Yi people.
Although many villagers on Hong Kong Island are full of curiosity, no one dares to get close to the stronghold established by the Australians, and who knows if these Australians will suddenly kill themselves.
However, the villagers do not dare to approach or go to sea, Xiangdao is a fishing village, the land cultivation area is limited, most of them usually go out to sea to fish and then take it to the county to sell it for some money to come back to supplement the family, no one dares to go to sea after the Australians come,
The boat that makes a convex sound on the surface of the sea, just a cup of tea can come to you, this kind of boat is simply too fast, fishermen say that the Australian old catch a sea monster to drive their boat, every time the boat starts to make a convex sound is the scream of the sea monster.
There are not a few such rumors, and some people even have the appearance of seeing the tail peeking out from under the small boat.
The more fierce the rumors spread, the more daring the fishermen were to go to sea, for fear that the Siren under the small boat of the Australians would eat them.
But if you don't go to sea, it will be very sad, and the landlord's family can temporarily hide in the county seat to live for a few days, without worrying about food and clothing, but ordinary people can't, don't go to sea to fish and subsidize some households, and just rely on the few acres of land planted to pay rent is not enough to eat.
Seeing that the Australians continue to set up camp and transport more and more materials, the fishermen can't sit still, this is the rhythm of not leaving, and they can't live if they go on like this, so the elders in the village send people to the county government every day to report the situation of the Australians, just like a special reporter who reports in real time.
The Wang County Order does not need to send the officials to inquire about the latest situation, although there are many reports, but the county government still has no reaction, and every response is that the lord knows, you go back slowly and wait, this matter will be dealt with.
For five days, the county magistrate did not give a letter of approval, but the people who went to report were still continuing, and the ships of Australians transporting materials and personnel were also increasing, from the specific scale, the Australians had already shipped thousands of people, so many people continued to land on Hong Kong Island, which made the local villagers restless, for fear that an Australian who did not pay attention to the knife would cut himself.
Although the villagers of Xiangdao are very wary of the Australians, the Australians are very friendly to them, and they received a telegram from the domestic headquarters, asking He Yu to do a good job in the relationship with the local people, and to achieve a close relationship between the military and the people.
This can make it difficult for He Yu, now that the matter of the concession has not even been negotiated, is it unnecessary to make such a friendly gesture, not to mention that the construction of his base has not been completed, how can he have time to do such a thing.
Although the opinions of the domestic command are a bit slanderous, the order still has to be carried out, and it is obviously impossible to send soldiers, so the medical team was sent, He Yu equipped each person with a dagger, and sent five army soldiers to protect it, so the medical team entered the village with Australian friendliness.
When the eight men and women of the medical team wore white coats and carried a certificate on their shoulders and wanted to appear in Xiangdao Village, the villagers immediately hid in the house in fright.
It's not that their dress is terrifying, but the nameless gun-wielding soldier behind them is indeed murderous, and at first glance it is the kind that makes ordinary people's hearts flutter when they see blood.
Sun Ke, who is the leader of the medical team and the teacher of the students, had to learn from the appearance of the devil entering the village in the TV series, and took out an iron simple megaphone and shouted.
"Folks, come out, we don't grab food, don't grab food, come out, we're here to treat you." Sun Ke kept shouting with a smile on his face, and his mouth was so dry that he didn't see any villagers open the door and come out.
A seven or eight-year-old child in a villager's house hid in the crack of the door and kept looking at the situation outside, "Dad: Those Australians said they were doctors, and they came to treat us, not bad people." ”
"Child, you can also believe the words of the Fanbang barbarians, they must be trying to lure us out, and then they are good to act, and they also treat the disease, which one of the people in this village is sick."
"But they do say they are doctors," the little boy asked his father, as if still in disbelief.
"You kid, you're just stupid, the brute soldiers say whatever they say, maybe they want to trick us out and feed the Kraken." Fishermen have long believed that the Sirens must be pushing the boat down there for the small boats that the Australians can move quickly without the paddles.
The Kraken, the word may have frightened the child, so instead of asking, he continued to lie down in the crack of the door and observe.
Sun Ke, who kept shouting outside, really recited the homonym of his name at this time, Sun Ke, really thirsty, his voice was about to shout through these melon babies just can't come out of anything, Sun Ke suddenly choked out a sentence from Sichuan. It made the people around me laugh.
"Hey, what the hell, why are these people so afraid of us, tell me what a good way to do it."
Seeing that the teacher was asking about himself and others, the students began to discuss with each other, and one of them said, "Teacher, I think maybe the villagers have misunderstood us, so we might as well go back and bring some gifts, such as rice to eat, so that it may be easier to get close to them." The student who spoke was from Daming, so he seemed to have some understanding of the villagers' thoughts.
"Okay, just listen to you, let's go back and apply for a batch of grain to be delivered, I don't believe they haven't come out yet," Sun Ke said angrily, waving his hand and turning around and walking towards the base.
