Chapter 71 Work Development (Part 2)
Just as all the work was underway, the first batch of naturalized people from the Time Travel Group also began their work.
The work of naturalized civilians is currently temporarily held by the military, so it is not managed by the Interim Executive Committee. In fact, although the Interim Executive Committee has been established, the affairs of the entire Time Travel Group are actually controlled by the military. Of course, this is not because the military is unwilling to delegate power, but because the Interim Executive Committee has just been established. It will take time to take over the affairs of the entire Time Travel Group.
Now the Time Travel Group is short of manpower, so of course it is impossible to keep idle people. Therefore, after two full meals and checking the body, the released personnel will start working soon. Of course, more than a dozen people who are indeed in poor health stay to recuperate and wait until their bodies recover before starting to work.
Some people originally proposed that all the prisoners of the Eight-Nation Alliance should be organized to work. After all, the number of prisoners is more than the number of people, and they are all strong laborers. No matter what, the released people from home can be considered Chinese. Therefore, there is no reason to let the prisoners lie in the house and eat and drink for free, but let the Chinese work hard.
In fact, the military has not thought about using prisoners, because everyone knows that these prisoners are important labor force, so of course they cannot be given up easily. However, prisoners are not naturalized people. If you want to make good use of these prisoners, you must have enough personnel to manage the prisoners. The biggest problem of the military now is that there is not enough manpower, so you can only decide not to use prisoners for the time being. After the temporary army is fully recruited, you will organize the prisoners to start work. At present, only naturalized people are still used. Fortunately, there are not many things now, and the people are busy now.
Men's jobs mainly involve two things: one is cutting trees, the other is digging trenches and repairing fortifications.
Of course, there are many functions of cutting trees. The military camp in Dagukou can only accommodate about 3,000 troops, which is far from enough. Moreover, the army's amphibious combat vehicles, warriors and other vehicles need to have enough houses to accommodate, so it naturally requires a large amount of wood. There are many wood around Dagukou, and there is a lot of wood. Of course, there is no need to consider the cost of environmental protection now. Cutting off the surrounding trees can prevent the enemy from hiding whereabouts and is also conducive to defense. Of course, the tools for cutting trees are also ready-made.
Judging from the current situation, the Eight-Nation Alliance is very likely to attack Dagukou. Although Dagukou is a fortress, all the fortifications are aimed at the sea, and in the direction of the land, that is, behind Dagukou, there is basically no defense. This is mainly caused by the backward military concept of the Qing court. According to the Qing court's defense concept, Dagukou is behind its own hinterland, so of course there is no need to defend. And if Dagukou is lost, will the fortifications facing the land be used by the enemy?
As a result, Dagukou was captured by the Eight-Nation Alliance. It was because the Eight-Nation Alliance fleet could not capture Dagukou on the front, so it used a boat to transport soldiers from the flank of Dagukou, and then launched an attack from behind Dagukou and captured Dagukou in one fell swoop. Now to deal with the Eight-Nation Alliance's attack, it is naturally necessary to build fortifications on the side facing the land.
Therefore, men were divided into two batches, one was responsible for digging trenches, and the other was cutting trees around Dagukou.
Women's affairs are relatively simple, which is to do a good job in logistics, mainly cooking, watering, washing clothes, delivering food, etc., and planting clothes.
Nowadays, not only the naturalized people, even the captives of the Eight-Nation Alliance were all wearing their original military uniforms, because there were really no other clothes to wear, but they looked really inappropriate. Among the materials seized from the Eight-Nation Alliance, there was a large amount of cloth, so this batch of cloth was used to make clothes, even if worn outside, it would at least look better.
Gao Jun first asked the women if anyone could sew clothes. As a result, almost all women stood up and said that they could make clothes. This scared Gao Jun. In the old time and space, unless they were professionals, there were very few people who could sew clothes by themselves. It was a skill to be able to order a button and sew a pocket. Gao Jun only learned some simple needlework after he arrived in the army. In this era, sewing clothes was one of the basic techniques that women must know. In general agricultural families, most clothes were sewn by their own women. The so-called men farming and women weaving did not only mean that women just weaving cloth, but sewing clothes were also included.
So Gao Jun selected fifty people who seemed smart from the women and asked them to sew clothes. In fact, the clothes they needed were very simple, just a vest, and a piece of cloth of other colors was made on the back, with numbers on it, so that the prisoners could wear outside the military uniform. The naturalized people sewed a piece of cloth on their left chest and wrote their names.
Others were responsible for cooking, watering, washing clothes, delivering meals, etc. There were also more than twenty older men who helped them do some heavier work. Gao Jun planned to form a brigade of the remaining women and divide them into four squadrons, each with four more teams, each with nine to ten people. In this way, the captain was to take charge of the captain and the captain was in charge of his own team members, while Gao Jun and several other female soldiers only had to take charge of the four squadron leaders. Of course, the captain and the captain had certain power.
Of course, the team is first divided into teams. First, based on the voluntary wish, it is composed of people who are familiar with each other or are close to each other, and then a captain is elected to manage the entire team. If it is not selected, it will be designated by Gao Jun and others. However, whether it is elected or designated, the captain is temporary. After working together for twenty days, the team members will decide whether the captain will continue to serve. The squadron leader is taken turns to serve by five captains, each of which passes five days.
Such division of labor was the result of Gao Jun and several female soldiers discussing the middle of the night last night. Someone originally proposed that several female soldiers each lead a squadron, but Gao Jun denied this arrangement. Although Gao Jun had decided to transform and manage, she is still the leader of the Kunming Ship Watch Department. Other female soldiers also have their own responsibilities on the Kunming Ship. Once the Kunming Ship has combat tasks, they will have to fight with the ship, and they will not know how many days it will take as soon as they go to sea. Therefore, from now on, we must cultivate the ability of self-management. In the future, Gao Jun and others will be able to work as usual.
Just when we were grouping, someone shouted: "Sister Gao, I want to join the army, can I do it?"
Gao Jun was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Qing Chu. The person who spoke was the woman who questioned him yesterday. He couldn't help but be surprised and said, "What's your name?"
The woman seemed a little guilty and said, "My name is Gong Jinyan."
At this time, Zhao Suping, who was beside Gao Jun, also recognized her and couldn't help but say, "Gong Jinyan, what are you going to do?"
Gong Jinyan hurriedly said, "I'm not a gangster, I really want to join the army, I want to kill foreign devils."
Gao Jun frowned and said, "Gong Jinyan, is this the reason why you want to join the army?"
Gong Jinyan raised her head and said, "Yes, as long as you really kill foreign ghosts, I will be willing to follow you and do whatever I want me to do." As soon as she finished, several more women also started to scream, all of whom wanted to join the army to kill foreign ghosts. The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Gao Jun quickly waved his hand and said loudly: "Quiet, calm me down."
Everyone stopped calling, Gao Jun said again: "I will consider your opinions, but we have no plan to recruit soldiers yet, so you should do the things we have arranged for you now. When we start recruiting soldiers, I will consider your requirements. Now continue to detach the team. If you can't divide the team well, don't have dinner this morning."
When everyone heard that they were not allowed to eat, they were a little panicked, so they hurried to the team again. At this time, Gao Jun said, "Gong Jinyan, come out with me."
Gong Jinyan was also quite nervous when he heard this. He followed Gao Jun out of the house and came to a corner next to the house. Gao Jun said, "Gong Jinyan, why were you arrested by the Eight-Nation Alliance? Where are you at home? I will answer me honestly."
At this time, Gong Jinyan did not dare to hide it anymore, so he destroyed his family in a vain. Later, he joined the Boxer Rebellion and became a member of the red light, killing foreigners, burning churches, and then was defeated by the Eight-Nation Alliance and fled from Tianjin. As a result, he told all the stories he had caught by the Eight-Nation Alliance here.
After listening to Gong Jinyan's speech, Gao Jun was quite sympathetic to her experience, and at the same time he could understand why Gong Jinyan wanted to join the army. However, he was a little disgusted with Gong Jinyan killing some innocent people. After thinking about it, he said: "Okay, I understand your situation, but I just now. We have no plans to recruit soldiers yet. You can do the job arranged for you first. When we recruit soldiers, I will consider you."
Gong Jinyan said: "Sister Gao, I was not good yesterday, but I really wanted to follow you to kill foreign devils. As long as I am in the army, I can do whatever I want."
Gao Jun smiled and said, "Aren't you just following us now?"
Gong Jinyan said: "But I am going to kill the foreign ghost, not to burn fire and cook."
Gao Jun said: "Didn't you let you join the army? You can do anything? Now we just need you to cook."
Gong Jinyan was stunned for a moment, wanting to argue, but she didn't know what to do.
Gao Jun said again: "In fact, fighting foreigners does not mean that you have to go to the battlefield with the army. Cooking fire and cooking is also very important. The soldiers also have to eat and dress. Only by allowing the soldiers to eat and wear warm clothes can they have the strength to fight with foreigners. Are you? So start with what you should do now. As long as you do well, I will find a way to get you into the army."
After listening to Gao Jun's words, Gong Jinyan also knew that there would be no chance to join the army now, but Gao Jun's words made some sense, and she did not die. Therefore, she still had a chance in the future, so she had to turn her head and said, "Yes, Sister Gao, I will follow your instructions."
