Chapter 2144
Although Haihan has rich practical experience in the special field of cross-sea immigration, the process of relocating people from Hirado this time could not avoid the occurrence of chaos. Food, medicine, daily necessities, and even the immigration
There have been problems, big or small, in temporary residences.
Of course, the emergence of these problems is also related to the special background of this immigration operation. After all, past immigration plans were generally planned and coordinated in advance by various relevant departments, so the safeguard measures were relatively comprehensive, and there were also emergency measures to deal with various extreme situations.
, situations such as insufficient supply of living materials rarely occur during the transfer of immigrants. The decision to relocate immigrants from Hirado Island this time was only made during the war. There was a serious lack of relevant preparations, and problems arose.
It is inevitable.
But fortunately, the military was fully responsible for this immigration. Even if there were various difficulties in the process, under the strong suppression of the military, it would not make any trouble. The captured combatants have been detained separately. Ordinary
Even if the people were short of food and clothing, they could only obey the arrangements of the Haihan Army in this helpless situation.
For these Japanese people whose future is uncertain, it is too late to resist the Haihan people now, and it will not help change the current difficult situation. The only way to survive is to work hard. Most of them have realized that
If you may not have the chance to return to Hirado in the future, the sooner you adapt to your new identity and environment, the better your chances of living a better life in the future. People with smarter minds are already trying to
It's time to seize this best opportunity to stand out.
Because the time limit issued by the headquarters was tight, the Kaihan Army used strong tactics to gather the people in Hirado. Regardless of their status, they were all assembled according to areas and then escorted to the port for shipment. Except for ordinary people,
, there are also some people with special status.
Monk Xiunian was one of them. He was originally just a monk at Hirado Guangming Temple, but when the Haihan Army cleared the occupied area, they did not spare even the monks and took him aboard the ship.
Xiunian is the head of the administration in Guangming Temple. He is mainly responsible for the temple's logistical affairs, that is, cooking, laundry, cleaning and other chores. However, he does not do these things himself. He also manages several full-time workers under him.
As a monk, you can usually just direct others to do things with your hands behind your back.
Although Xiunian's job is not as glamorous as the uncles and brothers who receive pilgrims and believers in the main hall every day, it is actually not lacking in oil and gas. For example, the daily purchase of food and clothing for the forty or fifty people in Guangming Temple can be retained as appropriate.
Funds go into your own pocket.
Whether you are a monk or an ordinary person, it will be easier to do things if you have money in your pocket. At the same time, your vision and ideas will be different from those of the monks in the temple who just worship the Buddha wholeheartedly every day. They will leave Guangming Temple when they are free.
Go out and interact with people from all walks of life.
The older monks in the temple may think that Xiu Nian is too serious and does not have the temperament to practice peacefully. However, Xiu Nian believes that his contact with the outside world is also a kind of practice, but it may not be completely consistent with the requirements of Buddhism.
.But as long as he does not actively violate the temple's regulations, no one will force him to kneel in front of the Bodhisattva and recite the Dharma every day.
When the Haihan army reached Hirado, Xiunian had already heard some rumors about the Haihan army's undefeated victory through his social connections. Although he was somewhat dubious about it at the time, he still decided to nip it in the bud.
, first make full preparations.
Xiunian's so-called preparation work was to sort out his "family property" and hide it in a secret place outside the temple, so that Guangming Temple would not be ransacked by the rebels and the family assets he had worked so hard to accumulate would be confiscated.
But what happened later proved that his preparations were in vain. After Hirado was captured, it was relatively stable for the first few days, but suddenly one day a large group of Haihan soldiers came to the door. However, these Haihan soldiers were not interested in robbing the temple.
Not interested, he just gave the monks in the temple an hour to pack their personal belongings, and then escorted them to the dock to board the ship.
Xiunian was completely dumbfounded. All the property he had managed to accumulate was hidden outside, but these Haihan soldiers would not let them leave at all. If he wanted to escape, he would most likely be regarded as resistance by the Haihan soldiers.
These days, many wooden racks have been erected in the city, and those hanging on the racks are the resisters executed by Haihan. Xiunian does not want to become a prop used by the Haihan people to kill chickens and scare monkeys.
Of course, he also thought about whether he could stay in the temple and not leave, but this plan obviously didn't work. As soon as Hai Hanbing arrived, he asked the host to bring the temple's roster and click through it. After confirming the number of people, he announced
They were asked to pack their bags and prepare for immigration arrangements. Although several elderly monks bravely expressed their intention to stay in the temple and not go anywhere, the Haihan soldiers did not leave them any room for free choice.
Hai Hanbing's method is very simple and crude. As long as one person remains, everyone in Guangming Temple will die. Although some people may not be afraid of the threat of death, they will still worry about implicating other companions.
Of course Xiunian wants to live, he doesn't want to die in confusion after the war is over. No matter what the Haihan people plan to do with themselves, living is better than death after all. So when the internal opinions cannot be unified,
He took the initiative to stand up and persuade those who wanted to stay to give up their thoughts and not to kill everyone in the temple for selfish reasons.
Xiunian's calmness and eloquence at this time were appreciated by the leading officer, so he was appointed as the temporary head of Guangming Temple and organized the monks in the temple to go to the port. As for the original presiding monk, it was because he did not want to express his position.
And was simply ignored.
Of course, organizing the evacuation of monks is not a great power, but it is very easy to make people jealous. However, Xiunian completed this task extremely well, and even had several die-hard monks who were unwilling to leave tied up.
He got up, threw him into the only carriage in the temple and forcibly carried him away.
Xiunian had completely let go at this time, and his methods were more ruthless, both to save others and to save himself. He believed that the Haihan people would use any means to take away all the monks from Guangming Temple, and it was unlikely that they were sending them to another place.
If you continue to practice in a temple, you will probably not be able to continue to be a monk in the future. Since survival is more important, you can no longer worry about whether you will offend your former companions.
Opportunities are given by others, but the path is chosen by oneself. Xiunian's decisiveness and organizational skills in the process gained more trust from Haihan. So he quickly got a new task
, responsible for organizing local people to board the ship in an orderly manner at the port.
Thousands of local people helped the elderly and children to the dock, and under the organization of the Haihan Army, they boarded the ship one after another and left. Only then did Xiunian finally understand that the Haihan people's plan was to send all the local people to
Resettlement overseas, in order to achieve the purpose of completely evacuating Hirado. Since it is based on such a plan, it can also explain why Haihan did not even let the monks of Guangming Temple go.
Xiunian was more shocked than resentful about such a generous act. He also felt Haihan's determination to completely disintegrate Hirado Port. However, the opponent did not resort to massacres after defeating the Hirado clan army.
Instead, it takes time and effort to transport all the people away. In Xiunian's view, this is probably a manifestation of compassion. Of course, when he understands the true intention of Haihan's arrangement in the future, he probably won't
Think so.
As for whether Haihan has the ability to accommodate so many people, Xiunian has no doubt about it. He saw Haihan soldiers everywhere in the city and the Haihan warships that filled Hirado Port. It can be seen that Haihan
How powerful this country is, it shouldn't be a problem to resettle thousands of people. Besides, if it can't be resettled, why would Haihan bother to transport these people away?
But reality is a slap in the face. When Xiunian came to Seogwipo, she found that there were no resettlement measures as expected. There was no shelter provided for them, there was not enough food supply, and there were no doctors to treat injuries and illnesses.
No. There was only one order given to them to stand by.
Once here, Xiunian had nothing to do, but in these days he had become familiar with many Haihan soldiers, and even took the time to learn some Haihan's daily expressions. Xiunian mustered up the courage to ask Haihan
Only then did they realize that they were just borrowing a place in North Korea for transshipment. It would take a few days for them to be transported to the next stop - the area ruled by Haehan. But it is difficult for Seogwipo to provide better conditions.
, so the people who were transported here can only continue to be patient and wait for the arrival of the ship responsible for transshipment.
Xiunian had nothing to do, so he planned to go find his companions at Guangming Temple. However, the monks from Guangming Temple came three days earlier than him. After asking for a long time, he found out that they were placed in another place. Xiunian went to the guard of his camp to plead for mercy.
I was finally allowed to be transferred to that camp.
However, Xiunian, who had finally managed to get through, was not welcomed by his companions. The senior brothers with whom he had the best relationship in the past also seemed to be a different person, with a very cold attitude. As for the host, he was even unwilling to meet him and refused to meet him.
He is not welcome back to the Guangming Temple community.
Xiunian patiently inquired slowly, only to find out that he had been regarded as a traitor by the monks of Guangming Temple. The monks believed that he had betrayed Guangming Temple for his own selfish desires and became a lackey of the Haihan people.
"The Master has given you orders to go back to where you came from. Guangming Temple is small and can no longer accommodate a giant Buddha like you! Brother Xiunian, let's go!"
Xiunian did not feel angry when he heard this cold expulsion order, but was disappointed. He believed that what he did was saving the lives of the monks of Guangming Temple, but his former companions did not agree with his actions. Xiunian had no choice but to go
After convincing the monks to trust him again, he had no choice but to leave.
However, this camp is not a place where he can be transferred at will and leave whenever he wants. At this time, if he wants to transfer back, it will not work. He can only continue to stay. Fortunately, there are seven or eight hundred people settled in this camp, so he can hide.
Keep far away so as not to be an eyesore to each other.
But a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. The wonderful thing about fate is that it is unpredictable. Just when Xiu Nian thought he was beginning to be unlucky, God gave him a new opportunity.
On the day Xiunian changed camps, some kind people came here to provide porridge, which was a great joy for the people who had been hungry for two days. However, because there were so many hungry and anxious people, when they heard that there would be porridge relief later, the order was disrupted.
The Haihan soldiers in charge of guarding scolded him repeatedly, but because of the language barrier, they were unable to have a very good effect.
At this time, some people thought of Xiunian who had just been transferred here. It is said that this monk received special treatment from the transfer camp because he helped organize the immigration boarding in Hirado. The officer in charge of the camp called him in and asked him straight to the point.
Can you help maintain order?
"If you can organize the porridge relief work properly, then I can give you a chance to choose your next destination." The conditions given by the officer were very tempting to Xiunian: "There are at least four places.
You can choose, what do you think?"
"Young monk, you should do your best!" Xiunian didn't refuse and agreed. He didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, not to choose the best destination, but because this right of choice would save him from having to deal with Guangming Temple.
The companion went to the same place again.
Some people have some innate talents, and Xiunian obviously has extraordinary talents in organizational skills. Even though he was new to the camp and was completely unfamiliar with the people in the camp, he quickly found the organizer.
With the feeling, he took the tin trumpet given by Hai Hanbing, climbed to a tree branch and started shouting to the people.
It only took Xiunian a short time to let these hungry people know how to get food later, and what punishment they would suffer if they disobeyed the arrangement. Then he began to direct these people from high places.
People line up. Of course, the process of queuing requires the intervention of Haihan soldiers. There will always be some people who have to suffer a little before they obey orders. At this time, whips and sticks will be more effective than the tin trumpets in Xiunian's hands.
.
“This Japanese monk is a bit interesting!”
"This monk can also speak Chinese? That's really convenient!"
This movement has attracted officers from several nearby camps to come and watch. They are quite envious that this camp has found a capable and willing candidate. Having such a person available can indeed save a lot in the management process because
Trouble caused by language barrier.
Xiunian roared until her lips were dry and her mouth was dry. After using a stick of incense, she finally got hundreds of people in the camp to line up in several columns and wait quietly for the porridge.
Xiu Nian also saw the monks from Guangming Temple in the team. They were standing only a few feet away from him. However, from their eyes, Xiu Nian did not see any gratitude, only fear and jealousy.
