If a group of originally good people become bullies, how vicious will they be?

This is directly proportional to the extent to which they have been bullied before.

Generally speaking, the more severely you are bullied, the more serious the revenge will be. Therefore, if a group of good people becomes bullies, then the new group of bullies will be at least twice as vicious as the original bullies.

Qin Zhiyuan's behavior of beating foreigners, and then extorting a lot of things, was like opening Pandora's box, and unleashing the demon in the hearts of the laborers at once.

Many of the laborers knew kung fu, a family tradition of kung fu, and began to practice it in their teens or even younger.

For martial artists, Han Feizi, who advocates the construction of a harmonious society under the rule of law, said in "Five Worms": "Chivalry is forbidden by force." In other words, people who know martial arts will break through the moral bottom line of society and do things that are indignant to people by virtue of their physical fitness and striking skills beyond ordinary people.

Although this statement is a bit one-sided, it also reflects the fact that the character of the martial artist is not very good, and he does not agree with the fact that he draws his sword against each other.

The warriors on the Victory News, who originally lived in the Republic of China where "foreign affairs are no trivial matter", had a deep-rooted fear of "foreign adults", and there was no word for resistance in their ideology, so they did not dare to say anything, and they did not dare to make it hard, so that they "couldn't eat when they stopped throwing their cups, and they were at a loss when they drew their swords and looked around."

Qin Zhiyuan's behavior is tantamount to setting an example for everyone, just like a group of martial arts writers who have exhausted their thinking, and suddenly saw Huang Yi's "Looking for Qin", and then suddenly realized: Oh, it turns out that you can still write like this!

The power of example is strong, but in three or two days, the attitude of the sailors on the Victory News towards the laborers is very different from before, although the general situation is not subverted, but it has also changed from being high to being respectful.

The sailors were shocked by the transformation of the laborers, since the Far Eastern overlord from China taught Ben and a few of them a lesson, like the famous stone monkey blowing a pinch of hair, all the laborers became the Far Eastern overlord of China. However, in the space of two or three days, a group of peasants who had flinched in the face of injustice suddenly became "civilized people" who were neither arrogant nor humble and dared to argue on the basis of reason.

Well, it hasn't reached the level of "civilized people" yet, but most of these people have some mysterious witchcraft, and it is no longer appropriate to call them "yellow-skinned monkeys", so let's call them "barbarians" for the time being.

"Barbarians" are also human beings and have been detached from the category of "beasts".

As for Qin Zhiyuan, Chen Kangjian and a few other well-known people, these people have also broken away from the category of "barbarians" and promoted to the level of "wicked people".

Although "wicked" is also a derogatory term, compared with "barbarian", there is less contempt and more fear, and the meaning is already very different.

With this fear, on September 3, 1916, the Victory Message arrived in Marseille, France.

Just half a month earlier, when the first laborers had arrived in Marseille, the French newspaper L'Excelsoir had described it on its front page on August 22, 1916: "These Chinese laborers were brought to France by careful selection. Most of them are from the north of China. They tolerate the climate of our country more than the Annanites. In addition, the results of the medical examination report show that the vast majority of Chinese workers are in good health, which is good news for our country to continue to recruit workers there. ”

There is a reason for recruiting Chinese workers from northern China, and the French believe that "northern Chinese people are flexible, intelligent, patient and careful, witty, agile and hardworking." ”

The Chinese workers have earned a good reputation in Europe through their hard work, and the British journalist Wakefield wrote in a press release: "Every Chinese worker is a very good all-rounder, able to endure unbearable hardships, work rain or shine, not afraid of cold and heat, good at learning, and can cope with all kinds of work demands of the British army." ”

A 1918 War Office report reads: "The Chinese labourers are the best of all foreign labourers...... Most of the laborers were able to master the skills of the job as quickly as possible, and they were skilled and sustained, and they stayed in labor-intensive places such as railways, arsenals, and tank workshops. The commander-in-chief of the French army, Foch, also wrote in a letter to Aristide Briand, then French Prime Minister: "The Chinese workers are very good laborers, they can be the best soldiers, they can maintain a good posture under the fire of cannonballs, and they do not flinch." ”

The above is part of the evaluation of the Europeans on the Chinese workers at that time, I am afraid that everyone could not have imagined that the victory news that arrived in Hong Kong on September 3 brought not a group of obedient Chinese workers, but a group of bullies who were led astray by Qin Zhiyuan!

When the Victory Message arrived in Marseille, the labor camp did not have time to recuperate and was taken directly to the front by train.

According to the terms of the contract, the Chinese workers did not undertake combat missions, but were only responsible for providing services in the rear. But under the pressure of the Germans, the French had used all the forces at their disposal, and the Chinese workers were sent to the front to do the most dangerous field support work.

Qin Zhiyuan's train is a steam bus, and the conditions and facilities are not bad, although there is no electrification equipment such as electric lights and air conditioners, and ordinary living facilities such as wooden tables and chairs for passengers are quite complete. Because there are fewer passengers, the carriage is not too crowded, and the air is still fresh.

Most of the members of the labor team had never been on a train before, and now they had opened a diorama, and for them, everything in a foreign country was new and worth studying. Whether it is a tired "woo-woo" locomotive spitting white smoke, or a blonde and blue-eyed flight attendant, it is worth discussing in detail.

These people have already learned badly, and in front of other flight attendants, they discuss the buttocks and breasts of other flight attendants in Chinese. When someone saw the flight attendant smile, they actually thought that the flight attendant was similar to the girl in Bada Hutong, and went up to talk to him in stammering French, but he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

If you dare to discuss someone's figure in front of a French girl in French, don't care if they like it or not, they will reward you for eating hot pot.

…… Maybe then they'll be happier!

Qin Zhiyuan didn't care about this, for him, all the scientific and technological facilities in the early 20th century were lackluster, and only a glimpse of the local style outside the car window was worth Qin Zhiyuan's view.

The cruel reality disappointed Qin Zhiyuan, and the France of this era was not related to the idyllic scenery of green mountains and green waters in later generations. As far as the eye can see, the car window is gray everywhere, even if the exterior of the house is deliberately painted with architectural paint, it is also gray. Even the lush hills were as gray as the sky, as if they had been sprinkled with a layer of dust.

This is also normal, the current industrial center of the world, is Europe represented by Britain and France, especially the United Kingdom, the capital London has now been named the "fog capital". This title is not because the smoke waves are like paradise, but because most of London's residents use coal as household fuel, and there is too much soot, which is the so-called high concentration of "PM2.5" in the air, so it is called "fog capital".

The concentration of "PM2.5" in London has not yet reached its peak, and it will not be until the winter of 1952, when a smog killed 4,000 people in five days.

Gray is the first impression that Europe gave to Qin Zhiyuan.
