Chapter 143: Baishanling Correctional Camp

The Baishanling Disciplinary Camp is located below Baishanling on the east side of Liaoshun Prefecture. The entire Disciplinary Camp imprisoned more than 5,000 exiles, including Han and Manchus. They used to be servants or servants of officials' families. Because the head of the family committed a crime, all of them were affected and sent to this place.

There are two ways to manage exiled personnel. One is a person with less sin. For example, Mr. Zhang, who used to have an official position and was implicated by his superiors. He did not have much guilt. After being exiled here, he lived outside the supervision camp. He just needed to report to the yamen on time and complete the tasks assigned by the supervision camp on time, which was equivalent to the current execution outside the prison.

The other type is people with serious sins. They are similar to those of labor camps. After they come here, they are directly stuffed into the education and management camp, and then they work day and night, open up land, dig rivers, quarry, pave roads, plant crops, log wood on the mountain, and do whatever they have to do.

Because the weather here is cold, the ground is frozen like stones all year round, and the shovel cannot shovel the ground at all. But even so, they must complete the amount of tasks assigned by the battalion officials on time. Otherwise, at the least, a whip will be a blow, and at the worst, a board will be a blow.

Because of the long-term labor, all the exiled people here have frozen sores, but even so, they still have to work, and these exiled people are divided into several camps.

Some of these camps are specialized in washing and cooking, some are specialized in paving and quarrying, and some are specialized in clearing and planting crops. They must get up to work when the chickens crow during the day, and can only go back to rest after seeing the stars at night.

They worked so hard without any reward. After finishing their work, the officers and soldiers in the supervision camp would inspect them to check whether they had completed the workload? If they had not completed the workload, they would not be allowed to rest and let them continue to work.

When the harvest season comes, the officers and soldiers in the supervision camp will take away most of the food sent by these exiled personnel. They will only leave them the most basic food for them to distribute it themselves. If there is not enough food, they will have to go hungry.

But even so, the exiled people in the supervision battalion did not go out to flee. It was not that they dared not. It was because there were permanent troops stationed next to the supervision battalion. The soldiers in these troops patrol every day, and the patrol routes were not blind spots, so they did not give the exiled people a chance to escape.

Even if the exiled people escaped from the nose of the army, the entire Baishanling Disciplinary Camp is located in the east of the military camp, the Baishanling to the north of the military camp, and the forest to the south. Needless to say, the military camp is located in the middle of the military camp. After entering, it will definitely not be able to get out and will be destroyed directly.

Although Baishanling and forests seem to be safe and hidden, once they enter the mountains and forests, they either freeze to death or are eaten by wild animals inside, and they cannot escape at all.

Only the west side of the Supervision Battalion is the exit, and there is a chance to escape, but there is a Songhua River blocking the road. Next to the only bridge, the Supervision Battalion built sixteen posts as a second line of defense, and stationed one thousand infantry and two thousand cavalrymen.

All the offenders who escaped from the supervision camp were intercepted here. There was only one fate after the interception, that was, they were hung at the gate of the supervision camp to warn other exiled personnel.

At noon that day, Liu Hua and Mr. Zhang rode to the supervision camp, holding their official certificate and the supervision token issued by the prefect's office. Liu Hua met the congratulatory picture of the battalion officer Qian Zong of the supervision camp.

He Tu is in his thirties, has a big beard, has a fierce appearance, a tiger-backed and bear-bearded waist, wearing a soft armor of a seventh-rank general, and has a treasure knife around his waist. After seeing Liu Hua's official prose and token, he said arrogantly: "I heard before that Long Sui Ye sent a little Han kid here to be the headmaster.

That person should be you? I didn’t expect that you, a little baby, actually took over Yazik’s position. I really don’t know what Master Long Live thought? He actually sent you to Shengjing to serve. Is there no one available in my Qing Dynasty?

Okay, I have experienced your identity. Chief Liu, I wonder what you are saying about coming to me today? If you want to check those exiled personnel, I will send a personal soldier to take you around. I still have military affairs to deal with. I don’t have time to accompany you. After the matter is over, you should leave yourself."

Seeing that He Tu was so arrogant, Mr. Zhang was worried that Liu Hua would be young and energetic, and could not stand He Tu's attitude. He was afraid that he would act like a matter of Yazik again, so he wanted to make a decision to find a way for Liu Hua, but at this moment, Liu Hua spoke.

Liu Hua was not moved by He Tu's attitude at all, but smiled out of the barracks. After a few breaths, he walked in with two wine jars and a bulging leather bag: "Haha... I heard from Mr. Zhang that Mr. Qian likes to drink. When my brother came, the emperor gave me two jars of imperial wine. On the way I came, I was reluctant to drink it. I wonder if Mr. Qian is interested in drinking a few drinks?"

The two jars of wine that Liu Hua was carrying were actually bought for him on the way to Shengjing. Shen Jiaolin had never had time to drink it. Now it came in handy. He made up a lot and said that the wine was imperial wine. Anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no one knows that he is talking lies.

But this was not the case in He Tu's ears. He was addicted to drinking, but now he heard that the two jars in Liu Hua's hand were imperial wine, so he was a little moved. However, when he thought of his attitude just now, he couldn't stand it.

Seeing this scene, Mr. Zhang said understandingly: "Mr. Qian, the chief officer has good intentions. You have to admire him no matter what. We know that Mr. Qian is busy with military affairs, but people have to eat? It's already noon. Even if Mr. Qian is busy, he has to rest."

He heard that Mr. Zhang had sent him a step, He Tu hesitated for a moment, then slapped his forehead: "Look at me, I forgot the time when I got busy. Before I knew it, it was already noon now.

Chief Liu has just come to office and is responsible for the exiles in the supervision camp. If we calculate this, we are colleagues. Since we are colleagues, I will treat the Chief Liu to the Chief Liu no matter what. In this way, I will ask someone to make some wine and food, and let's have a few drinks here. Chief Liu wants to give me this face."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhang nodded, then clapped his hands suddenly, and expressed his expression: "Mr. Qian is right. The two of them will be colleagues in the future, and they are so sympathetic. You have to drink whatever you say today."

With Mr. Zhang's joke, the atmosphere in the camp suddenly became lively. At this time, Liu Hua took out a piece of oil paper from the leather bag and opened the oil paper. He saw some air-dried chicken, braised pork, smoked rabbit, and beef sauce.

After putting these meats on the table, Liu Hua found three wine bowls: "Mr. Qian, I know that Mr. Qian lives a hard life here, so I also brought some wine dishes. I hope Mr. Qian will not dislike him."

"Brother, why should I slap Master Qian? It's so good to call him brother in the future." After saying this, He Tu sat on the chair and then raised the wine bowl: "Brother, I'll toast you with this cup."

Looking at the greeting picture that had been drinking all the wine, Liu Hua picked up the jar and poured the wine for him: "Since my elder brother has given this order, I'm better obey my orders than respect. Brother, how about this wine?"

After hearing this, He Tu wiped his chin: "Yujiu is Yujiu. It tastes soft and fragrant. You will know it is a good wine as soon as you drink it. Unlike the soju we brew ourselves here, there is nothing except the strong smell."

"Since that's the case, then brother will drink a few more drinks." After saying this, Liu Hua took out five silver notes from his arms: "Why did my brother come here for the first time? Thanks to my brother, I am very grateful for it. When I came, I was in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts for my brother. This is five thousand taels of silver notes. My brother should buy some things he likes."
