Chapter 630: Kamloops Indian Boarding School

British Columbia, Canada.

Theoretically, Gaishtown, located here, is the first Commonwealth city visited by Zhu Fugui, the son of the Great Tomorrow, after the founding of North America.

It is separated from the new Qinhuangdao Mansion by the new Bohai Bay, connected by water and land.

His Majesty Zhu Fugui once brought Tang Sangui here and found the first trade route of the Ming Dynasty to trade with foreign countries.

During this period, His Majesty Zhu Fugui, the great emperor, also set a fire with solid alcohol to show the most beautiful fireworks to Tang Sangui, the king of the Jewish Pingxi king.

The history is known as the Ming Liangzong Beacon Fire Opera Princes Incident.

In recent years, with the prosperity of the Fengdu-Xinqin-Xinjin-Seattle metropolitan area, Gaishizhen has become more and more prosperous with its smuggling trade.

Two years ago, Gaishtown officially changed its name to Vancouver City and became a strong contender for British Columbia's provincial capital.

It's just that because of the high degree of penetration of the Ming Dynasty and the existence of a large number of Chinese businessmen, he was finally defeated.

250 kilometers northeast of Vancouver, there is a small town called Kamloops.

In the winter of 1870, the Anglo-Canadian authorities issued a mandatory order that all Native American school-age children, including Inuit and Indians, must attend boarding schools to learn the Anglo-Saxon language and culture.

If it's just about changing customs, then Daming is actually doing the same thing.

The Yin people, who currently account for 0.3% of the total population, have the same status as the Han in the Ming Dynasty, and their language habits are being rapidly assimilated.

Soon, the Yin people will be a word that exists in historical documents, or is equivalent to the early Ming people of the Americas, and there are no barriers to ethnic identification and identity.

However, the colonial robbers of Anglo-Saxon were clearly not satisfied with stifling the culture of the Yin people and assimilating their ethnic group.

They want to do more.

That is physical destruction.

Boarding schools are part of their criminal plan.

In Kamloops, there is such a dedicated Indian boarding school.

January 25, 1872.

This day is the 24th birthday of His Majesty Zhu Fugui.

This is an auspicious day for the whole country to celebrate together.

From Fengdu People's Primary School, to Heishui Metropolitan Hufu Reclamation Rural Primary School, from Xinhu Olympic Middle School, to Edo Girls' Elementary School, the children of Quan Daming have ushered in a precious day of joy and laughter.

Of course, after a day of crazy play, they also need to scratch their ears and cheeks, meditate on a "Rich Majesty in My Heart", and hand it in tomorrow.

However, at Kamloops Indian Boarding School, the children have a very different day.

The night still shrouds in the endless snowfields and snow-covered forests.

The children have already begun their day of prayer and labor. (pictured)

Shirley is an Inuit girl who is only nine years old this year. (pictured)

Her hometown is further north in the tundra region.

Two years ago, missionaries and armed militia came to Shirley's village and brought all the children, including Shirley, to Kamloops.

Here, Shirley studied Christianity, learned to speak English, and also had a "civilized name" - Shirley.

The "merciful" priests and nuns proclaim their good deeds to the world.

They freed these barbarians from the blood-drinking life of Rumao.

However, no one can imagine what Shirley has been through in the past two years.

starvation, abuse, torture, and even sexual assault......

These terrible things are as common in church schools as the snow and ice in Kamloops in winter.

At six o'clock in the morning, the sun at high latitudes barely showed a little bit of white, and it couldn't bring a little warmth.

Shirley and a few other kids have been busy for two hours.

They had to clear the square of snow before the priest and nuns got up.

Last week, there was also a heavy snowfall.

When a nun went to the assembly hall to pray in the morning, she slipped because of the snow on the ground.

Since then, Shirley hasn't seen the child who was in charge of clearing the snow that day.

The priest said that they went to the arms of the Lord.

When he said this, the "kindness" in his eyes was as frightening as the tall statue of the Virgin Mary in the square.

Every once in a while, there are always one or two people missing from the school.

Or today, or tomorrow, Shirley knows that one day, she will disappear from this world.

"Damn idiot, the sun is so high that you haven't cleared the snow yet?"

The old man in charge of the bell tower walked out of the room with a curse.

Beneath the thin clothes, the bodies of these indigenous children have no curves to speak of.

But as a white old man who has been single all year round, he still can't help but show hungry wolf-like eyes.

Just as he was about to find an excuse to call the little girl in front of him into the bell tower, as before, Mother Elisa, wearing a burqa, appeared out of nowhere.

"Fred. Don't forget, this is the child that Mr. Priest has his eye on. ”

"Damn it!"

The old white man scolded and bowed his head and left, "Isn't Mr. Priest only interested in boys......"

"Shirley, don't be afraid!"

Mother Alyssa crouched down, a gentle smile on her face.

But Shirley trembled even more.

Because she remembered that last week, Mother Elisa also gently comforted the child who made a mistake and told her to go to the school's health room for a check-up, and then the child was never seen again.

"Lady Elisa, there's still a little snow in the corner, I'll be able to deal with it in a moment!"

Shirley assured in standard English as much as possible.

"It's okay, put this aside ......"

Alyssa smiled, "You don't have to work anymore today, I'll take you for a physical examination." ”

"Lady Elisa, I don't need a check-up, I'm not ......sick," Shirley said in horror.

"Obedient!"

Mother Alyssa stood up and grabbed the girl's shirt, "Dr. Braun has invented a vaccine to help you natives, so you can protect you from smallpox, come with me!" ”

"No, I don't want it, I don't want to get vaccinated......"

Shirley wanted to resist, but more and more nuns came over.

They fought Shirley and the other two children like pigs.

Alyssa wiped her hands on the burqa and said viciously to her colleague: "I have changed my mind, this girl is handed over to Mr. Braun for uterine extraction, and the two boys are sent for drug trials!" ”

With the rise of the Ming Dynasty, the medicine of the Ming Dynasty also attracted the attention of Europe.

This is especially true for doctors in Canada.

Some of them, joining the school of Dr. Porter in New York, were able to buy some medicines from Daming at a high price every year.

Others believe that since these drugs can be produced even by inferior Orientals, then they can certainly produce them themselves.

Among the Ming doctors and medicines, the most valued is undoubtedly the smallpox vaccine of the Ming Dynasty.

Daming achieved routine vaccination of all citizens very early.

That's a huge expense.

Even if the volume procurement is carried out through the biomedical department of [Dameng Industry], the cost is greatly reduced, and the average citizen still spends two hundred yuan of His Majesty Zhu Fugui.

This is also one of the reasons why, as the head of 50 million people, Zhu Fugui has countless labor, minerals, agricultural products, wood, brine worms, as well as various cultural relics, dog head gold, etc., and the flow is huge, but only 45 billion yuan has been saved.

Zhu Fugui is not an actuary, and the money spent may not be the optimal solution, but it is indeed useful.

Nowadays, in the territory of Daming, the incidence of smallpox and other violent diseases has fallen off a cliff.

It is not only a question of reducing the mortality rate, but also of significantly reducing the disability rate and reducing the proportion of people who are unable to work.

The improvement of the life expectancy and quality of the population also further fed back the industrial, agricultural and military systems of the Ming Dynasty.

All this naturally makes Westerners blush.

Especially in a region like British Canada, which is close to the Ming Dynasty.

There was even a case before, when the workers of the Montreal sweatshop rioted in tandem, and then fled to the south, collectively applying to join the Daming slave and become a white slave in the mine.

That incident, of course, was due to the marrow of the Montreal capitalists themselves.

But it was the smallpox epidemic that really got the workers moving.

In panic, in order to survive, they chose to be the slaves of the Ming Dynasty, or it should be said that the slaves of Zhu Fugui, the son of the Great Tomorrow.
