Chapter 187: The roar

"Of course, it's the soldiers who are bleeding and sweating for the great cause of time travel. We can't chill their hearts!" Ma Qianzhuo did not hesitate, "But I understand what you mean: our own butts are not clean." He smiled sarcastically, "Actually, according to me, this kind of thing is not a matter at all. The main thing is you - you have to flirt with the feudal landlords all day long."

Wu De laughed dryly and said nothing. Ma Fu also kept silent. He always did not participate in this political tendency topic.

"I think since it is inconvenient to carry out direct confiscation and nationalization, let's do redemption and nationalization. The slaves who perform well and are willing to follow us for a long time will be responsible for redeeming themselves." Ma Qianzhuo complained and said.

Wu De nodded. This is probably the only way to have the best of both worlds.

Ma Vest then put forward his opinion: "Adopting a self-redemption system will not harm the interests of both parties. The self-redemption value will be divided into several levels according to the age and gender of the slave. Please refer to the market conditions and then set the price.

"The landlords are not allowed to bargain with money." Ma Qianzhu said, "A maximum price must be set. Any girl who is worth 100 taels is not OK."

"Strictly speaking, this is a mandatory redemption. Whether the head of the family wants to do so or not, his net worth is actually symbolic." said Ma Vest.

"Escape slave--"

"Of course we don't care about the escaped slave. We assume that he is a free person. Otherwise, what should we do - send it back to his master?"

"Of course not." Wu De said, "A fugitive slave from other places, as long as he becomes a person in our system, we will not recognize his past slavery."

"As for the local escape slaves," he continued, "just help them redeem themselves as you said."

"You can set a prosecution period - for example. If the head of the family comes to chase him within one year, we will pay for him according to the policy. If the contract that exceeds the time is declared invalid," said Ma Qi.

"This is good, it is reasonable and well-founded." Wu De agreed.

"It's up to you. As long as we don't fall in Bairen City, you can set any legal terms." Ma Qianzhuo said indifferently.

The vest came out of the Executive Committee compound and returned to the cafe on the farm. People from the Law Club buried their books, flipping books, writing documents, and occasionally someone whispered to discuss something. The table was filled with paper rolls, document bags, ink bottles, unwashed pen tips, and ink-grinding inkstones - the dipping pen is now dipped ink from Guangzhou. Modern and traditional have had a perfect cooperation here.

The empty gawas jars, wine bottles, cups, clay ashtrays stuffed with cigarette butts and plates with leftovers were placed everywhere. They were like garbage dumps.

"Thank you all!" said the vest, "How is the progress?"

An Xi responded: "It's almost over. There are still a few documents that will be ready soon."

"Everyone, everyone, the merchants have been in the business shop for more than a week. When things are over, let's let others walk." While cheering everyone up, Ma Fu poured himself a small glass of rum and drank it.

"So, is the Maritime Law officially approved?"

"Yes, it's not easy to pass!"

The person who was working hard made a small cheer.

An Xi said: "Everyone is worried today while doing it. If they fail or make major changes, a lot of things we have done here will be in vain."

"There are still some places to make modifications and adjustments, but they are generally within our expectations." Ma Vest said, "There may be some modifications to some small places. The case of the five-mast ship needs to be modified." He took out a document from his schoolbag, "There are more than twenty modifications."

"Okay, let's correct it right away."

The vest nodded. The stimulating effect of the strong alcohol made him sweat, followed by a sense of exhaustion. He was exhausted by the discussion of the Maritime Law in the Executive Committee meeting room for three hours last night. Many members of the Executive Committee were very stubbornly opposed to the terms.

He had originally estimated that such matters involving the redistribution of interests would not be easily passed. Although leaders of some departments may not directly object, they will definitely send people to "fire" violently. If they lose during the hearing stage, there will be no hope for subsequent votes. So before the meeting, all the staff of the Law Club were mobilized to conduct mock questions and answers to each opinion that each department might put forward.

"We must absolutely avoid being asked in the meeting, and we must be logically firm in the answers." said the Vest at the preparatory meeting.

Fortunately, in terms of logic and thinking ability, students who graduated from law majors still have certain advantages. The preparation is perfect, but there are many capable people in the world. Time travel groups are naturally no exception. At the meeting, Ma Vest could see that several members were prepared and seemed to have guidance from experts behind them. If they had not done their homework well, Ma Vest would not dare to say that they could gain advantage in this internal discussion.

Until the final voting results came out, he didn't dare to say that his plan would definitely be passed.

The rescued vendors who were temporarily detained on the five-mast ship were rescued and sent to the Boshop for temporary detention had been spent seven or eight days in anxiety. After these people got ashore, they were treated quite well. Some people took them to take a bath and change their clothes. They were placed in a large rectangular house. They also brought several buckets of ginger soup to drive away the cold. They also gave them a lot of items with them, but they lived in a crowded place. Recently, there were storms at the sea, and there were many fishermen coming to shelter the wind. More than 40 people lived in the house of twenty people. Two meals of hot porridge were served every day. The rice was brown rice, but it was not mixed with any impurities, and the supply was open to fill the house.

These people cannot leave this room except for going to the toilet. There are sentries guarding the door. Anyone who goes out to use the toilet must receive a "toilet fund" from the sentry at the door before they can go out.

Even if they could go out, they could see only a brick and stone yard. There were several similar houses in the yard, which looked like they were all covered with people. The yard was surrounded by bamboo fence walls, and was densely covered with thorny vine plants. The gates entering and leaving the yard were also guarded by sentries. The bonfire was lit at night, and it felt like they were entering a large prison.

In fact, the place they stayed at Bopu Port Retention Center, which was specially designed to take in fishermen, sailors and merchants who were stranded here for a short period of time due to wind shelter and shipwrecks. The centralized storage and management of them was for the sake of quarantine and espionage prevention.

This situation made them very uneasy - could it be that they were "fat sheep", and the group of people who rescued themselves from the pirates were another group of pirates? Looking at the soldiers carrying bird guns outside the house, there was indeed this possibility. Thinking of such a terrible prospect, some people sighed that their lives were miserable. Some small vendors had calculated that being robbed by pirates would have suffered heavy losses. If they were extorted for ransom, they would have to sigh all day long.

They have already learned from the people in charge of temporary retention management: this is Linggao, and they are under the control of Australians. At present, people in the coastal areas of Guangdong have heard of some of the fame of Australians. Most people know that their goods are often unlucky, but they didn't expect that wars were so powerful! Thinking of this group of overseas people who didn't know how to deal with them, the victims were all uneasy. Some people wanted to spend money to inquire about the news, but they got nothing. Whether it was the managers inside or the sentry standing guard, they completely ignored bribes. Their refusal to accept bribes and did not say a word made everyone even more anxious.

The breakfast delivered this morning was very good. In addition to the porridge, there were a lot of fish, meat and shellfish, and vegetables. After the meal, I cleaned it up and someone came to inform them to pack their luggage.

"This, Head Chen, what's wrong with asking us to pack our luggage?" Someone inquired.

"Good thing. Congratulations to everyone." The man named Chen Tou was an old man in the immigration, named Chen Zhonghuan. He was the first mainland immigrants to move from Guangdong to Linggao after the D-D. Because he was a fisherman, his household registration was settled in Bopu Commune. As soon as Chen Zhonghuan came to Lingao, he fell seriously ill and was dying. He was rescued by doctors from the Ministry of Health. From then on, he regarded "Australians" as his benefactors and was very active in everything he did. Because of his old age, Wu De let him do some idle jobs and specializes in managing the temporary retention center of the port.

This made the crowd look so sad. Chen Zhonghuan thought he was a similar in the inn shopkeeper, but this crowd regarded him as the prison. The most taboo in the prison said congratulations, and once he said this, he would send someone to the West!

What's worse is that the breakfast was very rich this morning. This was originally Wu De's kindness - which made them pirate victims eat better when they parted, leaving a good impression of the Time Travel Group. Unexpectedly, they were regarded as "dead-headed rice". The house was immediately in chaos, with some crying and some fainting on the spot. Chen Zhonghuan looked shocked and shook his hands: "Everyone is hysterical? He will go home later. Why are you crying?"

The four words "going home on the way" deepened the misunderstanding, and the scene became more chaotic. Despair was contagious. These people were both dead and dead at sea, but after being rescued, they were always worried about the future. Now they heard that they were going to be taken out and executed. The accumulated pressure burst out together, and with a scream from someone:

"I don't want to die!" The house suddenly burst into tears.

"No one is going to die--" Chen Zhonghuan was shocked, thinking why this happened.

But no matter how he shouted and explained, his voice was drowned in the cry of dozens of people. Chen Zhonghuan was so scared that he quickly called the soldiers standing guard outside the door. The entry of the soldiers with a sharp bayonet made the people inside more desperate - everyone thought that they were ready to take action, so some just knelt on the ground and remained motionless, ready to be killed; some hit the wall; some grabbed the people next to him casually and started fighting, the weak were trampled under his feet, making painful screams, and some were bleeding... The scene was in chaos.

"Oh no! This is the camp roar!" The sentry coming in was Huang Ande. Since he followed Liu San back to Lingao, Wu De saw that others were tall and powerful, and he was from a military background, he still asked him to do his job back. Since Huang Ande came, he was at peace. Now Huang Ande is still an educated soldier who is trained in the recruit training camp. Today is his turn to stand guard in the detention center.

"What a laugh?" Chen Zhonghuan said anxiously.

"It's Yingxiao!" Huang Ande was born in a military service and knew the terribleness of this matter.

The so-called "camp roar" often occurs in places like military camps or prisons. It is crowded, with a small living space and the entire group is under great mental pressure, and is on the verge of collapse. Once a person shouts because of a nightmare, it often triggers a chain reaction from others, causing the entire group to fall into a hysterical state, and even kills each other, killing countless casualties, and the consequences are very serious.

When Huang Ande was in the army in Shandong, he saw Yingxiao. Not to mention a few soldiers, he could not suppress even if the generals of the generals came in person. Not to mention stopping them, he would probably only be able to die when rushing in!

"Hurry up, come out." Huang Ande quickly pulled Chen Zhonghuan out of the house door, and another sentry ran out quickly, his face pale in fear.

Huang Ande took the man out for more than ten steps and took the bullet from his waist to put it on a fire hat in one go - this set of loading procedures that were broken down into twenty-five actions was the most skillful in this period of education soldiers.

Holding the gun loaded with ammunition, I felt relieved. I remembered the training I learned to handle urgent matters before standing guard, and shouted to Chen Zhonghuan, who was in a daze:

"Go and ring the alarm!"

"I'll go!" The old man suddenly became erect and jogged all the way.

The educational soldier who stood with him was trembling and loading bullets. He loaded several times without installing the fire hat.

"Don't panic!" Huang Ande spoke to him to calm his emotions, "What's your name?"

"Money - money - much!"

"It seems that you don't have much money." Huang Ande joked.

"Yes, yes. The poor man." The mood of the money stabilized slightly, and finally put the fire hat on. "What should they do if they are going to rush out? Shoot?"

"It's okay, they won't rush out." Huang Ande knew that when Yingxiao, he often fought with each other on the spot and rarely ran around.

At this time, the alarm bell rang. Not far from the quarantine battalion, an infantry company equipped with riot suppression equipment, who heard something happened at the detention center, and immediately dispatched an infantry platoon to come.

Huang Ande saw more than 30 people wearing vine helmets and armor, holding bamboo sticks and rattan cards, slogans and slogans, slogans and slogans. Chen Zhonghuan quickly ran up and pointed at the commander who led the team and said something.

"Attention! Prepare for tear gas!" Under the command of a platoon leader, a squad holding a disposable grenade canister ran quickly and unfolded in a horizontal line.

"You can't use tear gas!" Huang Ande learned in weapons class and knew that it was filled with pepper, which was the so-called "non-destructive" weapon to suppress violence. However, the roar was not an ordinary riot. Not only did it not play a role in dispersing the crowd, but it would cause greater chaos. He quickly ran up, and in a hurry, forgot about the military rituals, and directly called the platoon leader a thousand, "Sir! No use!"

The platoon leader was startled: "Who are you?"

"I'm the sentry here." Huang Ande waved his hand in a hurry, "This is a whistle! As soon as the tear gas shot in, it was even more messy inside, and many people were going to die!"

Seeing that the platoon leader was still hesitating, Huang Ande said loudly: "I have been a soldier in the past, so I can only rush in and press it first!"

The platoon leader was not from a Ming army soldier, so he didn't know what "心少少" means. However, when he saw his serious expression, he said that many people would die if they were hit by tear gas, so he ordered not to release tear gas and sent people to rush in and suppress them.

"Two people are in a group, and they see one person pulling out another person." The platoon leader directed.

With the rapid intervention of the riot-relieving infantry, more than ten minutes later, the commotion in the detention center became quiet. However, the tragedy had already caused three people to be seriously injured in the commotion, and almost all of them were injured.

Wu De, who rushed over, looked at the wounded man who was covered in blood, and his face turned pale. This was the first time he encountered such a strange thing.

Chen Zhonghuan was so scared that he knelt in front of Wu De: "Mr. Wu - Chief Wu - Little, I didn't say anything-"

"Get up." Wu De waved his hand, "This is not your responsibility."

"Thank you, Chief." Chen Zhonghuan quickly stood up.

"You said this was called Yingxiao just now, don't shoot tear gas?" Wu De walked to Huang Ande.

"Yes, it's just a small one-"

"You are a soldier!"

"Yes! The educated soldier Huang Ande! I said this!" Huang Ande quickly followed what he learned in the training of the recruits and said loudly.

"How do you know this is Yingxiao?"

"Yes, I used to be a war soldier in Shandong, and I also made a whistle in the camp! I've seen it."

"Okay, you've dealt with it well!" Wu De said to the non-commissioned officer student around him, "Tell Wei Aiwen that the education soldier Huang Ande handled the emergency properly and gave him a merit!"

"Thank you, Chief!" Huang Ande said loudly, giving a military salute to everyone.

Jiang Qiuyan also arrived. As a psychologist, he was very interested in mass mental illnesses such as "yingxiao". Of course, there are also pragmatisms in it: the army of time travelers is expanding, and thousands of people are gathered in quarantine camps at all times. Once an incident like theyingxiao occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable.

As soon as he arrived, he called Chen Zhonghuan, Huang Ande and others to ask about the situation. He also interrogated several participants - these people were exhausted and collapsed on the ground after venting just now. Now I heard that the Australians had no intention of killing them, so I felt relieved. But no one could tell what happened at that moment, and their minds were blank.

"There is caused by excessive mental stress." Jiang Qiuyan said, "a concentrated release of accumulated pressure."

"High mental stress? I've been giving them delicious food and drinks since I got ashore."

"It's true that you eat and drink well, but people are still very likely to accumulate stress in unfamiliar environments. And they live a little more crowded." Jiang Qiuyan said, "I'll give them some opium tinctures so that they'll get better after a good night's sleep."
