Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 1048 Exile 2
When Yao Chonggu left Australia, he established a small stronghold on the Australian mainland. Fifty soldiers were stationed there. During this year, these fifty soldiers not only built a small fort, but also reclaimed several lands. Ten acres of arable land, planted with some wheat.Of course, they have too few people, and they are not yet familiar with the climate and environment of Australia. The harvest of the wheat planted is very poor, like dogtail grass.But here is close to the sea, seafood can be eaten at any time, and there are kangaroos everywhere in the field, so it is not difficult to eat a full stomach.These garrisons welcomed the arrival of the first batch of exiles. They ran out and shot and killed several kangaroos, and then pulled them back with the only carriage, ready to give the exiles who came from afar a taste.As soon as the exiles got off the boat, they saw piles of fresh meat in front of them. They had already had enough of the smell of canned food, and they couldn't help but see green light in their eyes, and hunger for three feet!

The stronghold commander Tong Yu stared at them and shouted: "What are you doing standing still? If you want to eat meat, you can eat it yourself. There are no servants to serve you here!"

Although this guy's attitude is very bad, don't expect him to give a good face at all, but the prisoners still cheered and took action.Most of these guys were born as sons and sisters, so it is not enough to ask them to do heavy work, but they are better at eating, drinking and having fun.Some of them are quite proficient in cooking. These guys use knives to quickly peel and open the kangaroo, take out the internal organs and clean them, chop them up and put them in the pot. Their knife skills and craftsmanship are not inferior to those of chefs.The garrison at the stronghold seems to have no interest in kangaroo meat. They ran to the ship to rummage like starving ghosts, and each of them carried a box of cans down, then pried open the cans and devoured them in front of everyone, as if they were eating a full feast of Chinese food. of.The officer who was always holding a stick and was ready to hit people at any time walked over, looked at Tong Yu and smiled: "As for what? These things, after a few years of soldiers, you should eat and vomit. As for you, you are reincarnated like a starving ghost look like?"

Tong Yu picked a piece of sauced beef with a bayonet and stuffed it into his mouth, stuffing his cheeks bulgingly. While chewing hard, he said vaguely: "If you are in this ghost who doesn't shit and doesn't lay eggs You can eat kangaroo meat and seafood here for a whole year, and you are guaranteed to be as happy to see the canned food as you are to see your father!"

The officer holding the stick just felt baffled: "Canned food tastes better than fresh meat? Is there something wrong with you?"

Tong Yu said: "When the kangaroo meat is cooked, you will know after eating two pieces."

Just in time, there was a pot of kangaroo meat cooked over there. The man walked over with some doubts, drove the person away with a stick, then pulled out a bayonet to pick a piece of kangaroo meat from the pot and put it into his mouth, chewed carefully, Taste, and then his expression suddenly became very exciting...

Several soldiers asked: "Head, how does this meat taste?"

"It's delicious, very delicious!" The officer gave a thumbs up with an exaggerated expression.

The soldiers were not polite. They took out their lunch boxes and filled each person with a big spoonful, then ran to the side and wolfed them down. As a result...

"I bother!"

"Ahem... water! Give me water!"

"His grandma's, what the hell, it smells like a urinal!"

Obviously, these soldiers had never eaten such unpalatable meat, and they all cursed angrily.The exiles were amazed, thinking that these big soldiers were playing tricks on them, picking up meat with chopsticks and stuffing them into their mouths one by one... I can't be fooled by you!Don’t you act so exaggeratedly because you want to scare us so that we can eat these meats alone? It’s a good idea, we eat it with big mouthfuls, and you will be mad at you!

Then these exiles counted one by one, and sprayed them all.When the meat was eaten, they realized that the soldiers did not lie to them. The meat really had a strong smell of urea, as if it had been soaked in a urinal... until now they didn't know why the soldiers stationed here The soldiers who saw the canned food were as happy as seeing their father. If they had eaten this stuff for a year, they might cry when they saw the canned food!

After tasting the kangaroo meat with a strong smell of urea, everyone hurriedly unloaded the tent from the boat and set it up, and then pulled up the barbed wire. There was no house, so they had to stay in the tent for a while , Wait until the house is built before moving in.Fortunately, it is the dry season and there is no rainfall. Just find a dry place to set up the tent. The workload is not heavy, and these exiles can still handle it.After the tent was set up, it was getting dark, and everyone was exhausted, so they got into the tent and soon fell asleep.

But Wang Qingyun couldn't sleep. He lay in the tent and stared at the dome of the tent with wide eyes. He was upset and not sleepy at all.In the middle of the night, a cry came from a nearby tent. A poor guy was crying, and he was crying very sadly.Hearing him cry, Wang Qingyun also had the urge to cry. He was born in a scholarly family, and his father held a high position. He was born with a golden key in his mouth. No matter where he went, there were people holding it. He had endless money to spend and endless enjoyment. Wine and beautiful women, how comfortable this is, but now he is exiled to a place he has never heard of, thousands of miles away from home, and he doesn't know if he can go back in this life. How can he not be sad when he thinks of all the things in his hometown?But it's useless to be sad. He must pay the price for the mistakes Wang Yingxiong made!

Can I go back in this life?

I don't know, but I have to stick to it.Only by persevering can there be hope of returning home. If you die, there is no hope at all!
He didn't know when he fell asleep. After he fell asleep for a while, the whistle blew, and the soldier yelled from tent to tent with a thunderous voice: "Get up, it's dawn! Get up and run!" There was sudden mourning in the tent, and many people had just fallen asleep not long ago!The soldiers who urged them to get up were a group of impatient guys. They carried a whip made of canvas and filled with fine sand in their hands. They checked tent by tent and saw which one was still procrastinating and refusing to get up. Yes, with a straight whip, screams continued from tent to tent... Except for those who were too sick to get out of bed, those who could get up were driven out of the tent, and then lined up, led by the officer. Next, start running along the beach.A few big-headed soldiers chased after them, and when they saw who was the last, they kicked him in the ass to eat shit, and gave him a big roar: "Hurry up!" That roar was full of murderous intent, and it could scare people out of their urine !Wang Qingyun was kicked a few times, and he hated him so much that he just wanted to grab a gun and kill the person who kicked him!However, there are three very important reasons why he had to choose to endure:

First: He can't beat these soldiers.

Second: He can't beat these soldiers.

Third: He still can't beat these soldiers.

So the only thing our prince can do is to use his breastfeeding strength to run wildly, overtaking the person running in front of him... As expected, he soon saw that the unlucky person he overtook had more buttocks Several shoe prints...

After running, I eat breakfast, and the main course of breakfast is still kangaroo meat-everyone has already hated this stuff.The soldier's attitude is very simple: love to eat, if you don't eat, you will be hungry!So everyone had to hold their noses and eat, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to eat.

After breakfast, under the leadership of these soldiers, they began to make some simple tools, ready to build a house.Conditions are limited, they can only build brick and tile houses, and the bricks are still mud bricks. Under the command of the soldiers' leather whips, these exiles dug up a large amount of yellow mud and mixed it with water to make mud, and then pressed the mud into the mold. The mud bricks are ready.Of course, this kind of mud brick has to be dried for a long time before it can be used after it is completely dry.This is hard work. This kind of simple brick requires a lot of mud. Among other things, just digging the soil and carrying water can break a person's waist!There are also some people who also built simple cellars under the command of the whip, made tiles with mud and dried them, put them in and burned them, and took them out after the fire was extinguished.Of course, since we want to build a house, wood is indispensable, and the nearest woods are more than ten miles away, so cutting trees has become the job that everyone fears the most, tiring!The wood is already extremely heavy, and it is exhausting to carry it for more than ten miles!The soldiers divided them into three groups, and took turns to cut trees. No one could escape, so every day a group of people became exhausted.

Fortunately, they found a lot of Melaleuca trees in the woods. The characteristic of this kind of tree is that the bark is divided into many layers like a hamburger. As long as you have a knife, you can easily peel off one layer. This is the roof. Good material.With this gadget, everyone no longer needs to burn tiles, just peel off the bark—no one thinks that peeling the bark is more tiring than burning tiles, right?
It was the first time that Wang Qingyun realized that he could do so much heavy work!Watching the houses being built slowly, he actually felt a little sense of accomplishment in his heart, which is very abnormal. You know, it was unimaginable for him to do such heavy work before.He soon discovered that these soldiers were actually not difficult to deal with. As long as they were willing to do their jobs and complete the day's tasks in full and on time, everything was negotiable.It took them two months to build a large village, which can accommodate more than 1000 people. Although it is very simple, this is their first settlement in Australia. Looking at these villages made of tiles and trees In the house with the leather roof, everyone was smiling, and they lived in a place, so they didn't have to roll around in the tent anymore.On the day they moved in, the soldiers held a simple ceremony for them to celebrate the completion of the first village. During the celebration ceremony, everyone was surprised to find that some guys who covered their bodies with tree bark and grass skirts and dressed like primitive people actually I also came to join in the fun, and after asking, I found out that it turned out to be a local aborigine.

"There are many natives in this area. They are experts in hunting and fishing. If you want to eat fresh meat, you can exchange your own things with them. You can do anything. They want everything. But I It is not recommended that you exchange your own clothes, because there are no extra clothes here!" The soldier said solemnly.

Wang Qingyun and others breathed a sigh of relief, thank God, there are other people in this continent, and they are not the only group of people.This means that they have company, and with these aboriginal people as companions, they should not be too lonely in their future lives.
