Chapter 153 Gift
As for the doctors among them, they were all rushed to the hospital and went to be doctors. Even if they don't know anything about traditional Chinese medicine, they have at least learned some Western medicine. They can communicate with the traditional Chinese medicine doctors in the sea wolf hospital and draw some useful things from them.
After signing the contract, these prisoners immediately obtained two new clothes. These new clothes are not the original simple clothes of the sea wolf, but according to the military uniforms they used to be simplified and modified to a certain extent, and then arranged to make new military uniforms.
And the color of these new military uniforms is also the indigo color used by many sea wolves, which is the easiest cloth color for them to get at present. However, as a distinction between naval and soldiers, the navy's military uniforms have added a white cloth strip on their sleeves, so that they can know their service at a glance.
However, after signing the contract, these Spanish prisoners changed their identities into mercenaries. In order to distinguish them from the official members of the sea wolves, a piece of white cloth was added to their chest, which was written on this white cloth according to their names and translated into Chinese, so as to hand them in the future. Liu, I don't know what their names are.
After the prisoners were assigned, they were not immediately sent to their new positions, because none of these people could speak Chinese. After being assigned, it was difficult to communicate effectively with the sea wolves, so Yu Xiaotian arranged a translation and gave them half a month to learn some simple practical Chinese, so that at least There is a certain basis for communicating with the sea wolf masses. After the distribution goes down, at least we can have some simple exchanges with the sea wolf masses.
When these prisoners got their new clothes, they were excited to death one by one. You know, after they were captured, they have been naked. This feeling is not good. Clothes not only provides protection and warmth for the body, but its practical significance now far exceeds the most basic needs.
When there are no clothes, no one will feel a little dignity. Even if they beg for food, they will find a way to make a fig leaf for themselves. This is at least the last dignity to maintain themselves or human beings, and these prisoners have not even a piece of fig leaf for two months.
Now after receiving the new clothes, although it seems a little strange that they don't fit well, at least these clothes can finally cover their skin. At least they don't have to wander around naked and wandering around with their crotch, which has made them very satisfied.
In addition, they also see that these clothes should be the military uniforms of the sea wolf. Wearing these clothes, their identity will completely change. In the future, they will be members of the sea wolf, which at least gives them a subtle sense of belonging. Even if they are unwilling to, they have to wear this dress. , join this group.
After receiving the new clothes, they were not allowed to put on their clothes immediately. Everyone also got a set of daily necessities, including a bamboo cup, a toothbrush made of bony, a small box of bamboo salt for brushing teeth, and a piece of white cotton cloth for washing their face and bathing. Everyone also gave some soap pods. These are the minimum daily necessities.
After receiving the daily necessities, all of them were driven to take a shower for the so-called purification before they could put on clothes, saving these guys who haven't taken a shower for two months and stained their new clothes.
As for their heads, they have long been shaved into bald heads, but now they have grown new hair, which is not unacceptable to them. Some of them have begun to have short hair, but now they have been shaved, but they feel refreshed.
It was not until everyone took a shower and put on new clothes that these prisoners ended their bare monkey-like life, returned to the civilized world, looked at the huge changes between each other, and recalled the days some time ago, everyone was like another world, with a feeling of a new life, many After putting on his clothes, the man burst into tears with joy.
After completing these things, they were taken to a shed. Under the shed, there were many rough wooden tables and benches next to them. There were bamboo or wooden trays on the table. The trays were divided into two grids, and there was also a coarse porcelain bowl and a wooden spoon.
Everyone lined up to get a tray on the table and began to queue up to pick up some food in front of the big pot. Inside the big pot is hot brown rice. The dish is stewed with some bacon and salted fish pieces, some cabbage, tofu and radish slices, which exudes a strong fragrance, and in the big pot, it is made with kelp seaweed. And the small miscellaneous fish and shrimp are added with a small amount of eggs, and the soup is even more fragrant.
These prisoners, who have been suffering for two months and can only drink porridge and gnaw pickles every day, smell the strong fragrance in the pot, and the saliva is even more rushing. Before receiving the food, everyone keeps swallowing saliva and can't wait to reach out a hand in their throat to pull these meals into their mouths.
Although these meals are not in line with their eating habits, for those who have suffered a lot, such meals are already a supreme delicacy. Many people can't help swallowing a few mouthfuls of water when they think of this meal many years later. The fragrance of this meal is always locked in their minds. I can't forget it in my life.
Fortunately, these prisoners used to be soldiers and knew how to abide by the rules. In addition, after receiving two months of re-education with whips and rattan sticks in the quarry, the discipline is quite good. Otherwise, just smelling the fragrance of these meals can make them crazy.
Under the whole greenhouse, hundreds of people sat neatly at the table and looked at the food in front of them, but no one dared to touch the spoon, because the sea wolf had a rule that no one could eat without permission until they were allowed to eat.
"Gentlemen! This is a favor given to you by our great leader. If you are captured by others this time, you can only work hard all your life except for death!
Now our benevolent leader has still exonerated your guilt and given you a chance to be a new life. I hope you must seize this opportunity to serve the great leader and repay your kindness to you!
Now let's thank the great leader! Stand up! ..." A translator stood in the middle of the greenhouse and shouted at the prisoners with a loudspeaker.
Although this kind of preaching may not be very useful, Yu Xiaotian does not mind using this method to let these prisoners know that if it were not for his kindness, the fate of these people would be very tragic, at least let them know this. As for whether they really thank him in their hearts, he doesn't care. I believe that as long as these people have some sweetness, their beliefs are secondary, and they will be happy to stay and work for him.
The reason why these people ventured to come to Asia so far away is that they did not come here with the purpose of making a fortune. Their loyalty to the country is only secondary. Now they have become prisoners, so they have achieved their loyalty to the Spanish king. Next, they are mercenaries, and some people have become the army of sea wolves. Consultants, it's time to make plans for their own future.
In fact, these prisoners also understand this truth. They know very well that if they hadn't met the sea wolf this time, if they had fallen into the hands of other Chinese pirates, there would be a 99% chance that they would be killed now. Even if they were not killed, they would not have the current treatment. I'm afraid the hard work force is The best possibility.
Since they have been captured as defeated, they also have the consciousness of being captured. Although they cannot be released or returned to Manila now, it is better for them to be hired to become mercenaries of these Chinese pirates, which is better than being slaughtered.
All the prisoners stood up with a crash and shouted in Spanish, "Thank you, Grand Leader!"
"Sitting down! You can start eating! ......”
"Hula..." Almost in an instant, the bottom of the greenhouse was full of spoons hitting the plate and the sound of chewing and swallowing. Everyone threw their enthusiasm on the food in front of them.
Although the land government is busy mobilizing soldiers, horses, grain and various materials to prepare for the attack on Nanri Island, Yu Xiaotian has clearly received the news that the officers and soldiers are unlikely to take action before October. They must wait for the Dutch fleet to come to help them, so he is not very anxious.
Before the officers and soldiers launched the attack, he had enough time to prepare. It turned out that there were still many people in the sea wolf department. They proposed to follow last year's method and make a pre-emptive attack on the government. Before they take action, they should attack the coastal areas as they did last year, and attack the assembly site of the officers and naval divisions. Destroy the officers' sailors and, as last time, disrupted the plans of the officers and soldiers, making their plans die.
However, after a few days of careful consideration, Yu Xiaotian rejected this opinion because he is currently vigorously developing the freshwater area, and the number of workers is still insufficient. Although he is still trying to collect immigrants everywhere, he still can't meet the needs there.
And this time, the large-scale attack of the officers and soldiers just provided him with an excellent opportunity to obtain a large amount of free labor. If he wants to capture so many officers and soldiers, the only way is to let the officers and soldiers land on Nanri Island and then defeat their sailors at sea, trap a large number of officers and soldiers to death on Nanri Island. Capture.
