The refugee camp built by the Qin army was actually very good, because the Tang Empire required them to build the refugee camp very solidly.
For the Tang State, this was a large-scale infrastructure construction: the prisoner-of-war camps built by the prisoners of war were small villages. Once the prisoners of war left, the remaining facilities could be put into use immediately.
Even the Tang Empire had arranged five small facilities: power plants, repair shops, chemical plants, and manufacturing plants. These small factories were put into use one after another. The workers of the Tang Empire were responsible for teaching these Qin soldiers how to use these machines.
, how to learn a skill to work with.
No joke at all, these Qin prisoners of war were frightened by the treatment in front of them. They were fed better than before, and lived in houses built by themselves. The surrounding walls were not actually high, but there were no
People are willing to "escape" from the place where they are imprisoned.
On the contrary, in the beginning, some of them would go to the canteen to steal things. Later, after receiving education, or discovering that they could actually eat enough, this kind of theft almost disappeared.
We are all ordinary people. In fact, most people have a certain bottom line and integrity. When they find that they can live a comfortable life through labor, they immediately enter a state they are familiar with.
The young soldiers did not eat the veteran's chocolate bar. When they arrived at a prisoner of war camp, they found that it was already hot inside.
The people who arrived first were working hard to build their own houses, and the Qin soldiers next to the temporary tents were helping to build larger tents to serve as hospitals and canteens.
The soldiers in the distance each hold an engineering shovel - these shovels are standard equipment for the Qin army, and they are still in their hands for digging the foundations of houses.
The foundations of the entire camp were dug by prisoners of war, and the guards of the Tang Empire did not even worry about these people leaving a tunnel for them to escape.
Because someone had done this before, and then the weather became colder and colder. The Qin soldiers in the barracks felt that the half-dug tunnel was too affecting the indoor temperature, so they filled it in themselves...
There are also some Qin people digging a ditch. This ditch is used to connect sewers and electric wires. This place will be built into a village in the future, and a cement manufacturing factory and brick kiln factory will be opened next to it, so the scale seems to be quite large.
big.
The transport convoys of the Tang Army drove past in a steady stream on the road not far away. Occasionally, tanks and crawler-type trailer repair vehicles could be seen. The entire army was so large that there was no end in sight.
All the Qin prisoners here knew clearly that just by looking at the size and equipment level, as well as the level of logistical support and the quality of the soldiers, they knew that these Tang troops were not opponents they could defeat at all.
The young Qin soldier followed the team and walked forward. When he reached the end, he discovered that the first thing he did when he arrived was to take a shower and change his clothes.
Qin's military uniforms were too dirty and could easily breed infectious diseases, so they had to be replaced. The Tang army prepared a batch of work clothes for them.
This is also a material that has been stockpiled for a long time. In fact, these work clothes are prepared for orc laborers. The total number of orc laborers entering the country has been reduced due to the war, so these work clothes that have been stockpiled are transported to the front line to be used as "prisoner of war camp uniforms"
Came to use it.
In order to facilitate management, all prisoners of war must be cut into a "ball head", which is the legendary prison labor hairstyle. This makes it easier to track down escaped prisoners of war, and also makes the prisoner of war camp more hygienic.
In this regard, the resistance of the prisoners of war of the Qin Army was not too great, because their hair could not be too long after joining the army. This was also one of the advanced achievements of the Qin State in learning from the Tang Army.
They were then taken to the open-air prisoner-of-war camp canteen, where prisoners of war from the Qin State were responsible for preparing meals for the new arrivals. The chefs were all deployed by the Tang army, and many were even Dahua cooks.
To be honest, the food here is definitely not up to par with the Tang Army's standard field dining car, but for the Qin Army, the treatment is already very good.
Unexpectedly, he had a delicious meal at the front line and started eating again after walking for a long time. The young Qin soldier himself could not believe that prisoners of war could receive such treatment.
To put it bluntly, if the Qin State treated the Dahua prisoners of war like this, they now estimate that they could recruit Dahua's surrendered troops and re-arm them three times faster.
The veteran of the Qin Kingdom did not expect that he would be able to have a good meal again. He sat at the long wooden table with the young Qin soldiers and watched the rice bowl in front of him being filled with hot fried rice.
This kind of dish is not available in the Qin army camp. After all, the seemingly simple fried rice actually requires quite a few ingredients: carrots, eggs, onions, and oil. It is definitely quite a meal on the front line.
It's luxurious.
The steaming meal immediately dispelled the cold, and the two people and all the prisoners around them ate enthusiastically. They were indeed hungry, and the meal was indeed delicious.
"Slow down! If you are not full, you can add another bowl! We have enough! Don't grab it! Don't waste it!" The prisoner of Qin who was cooking the meal shouted loudly and knew that he had been doing this job for a while.
Already.
"In a few days, the house over the canteen will be built, and the conditions will be better, so it won't be so cold." After the shouting, the prisoner of the Qin Kingdom explained.
In his opinion, it is no longer a good thing for people to eat in cold conditions. After all, the conditions of the prisoner of war camp where he was trained before were quite good. But these people who are accustomed to squatting in trenches to eat under field conditions
For the Qin soldiers, this condition was already very good.
Because they took in about 1 million prisoners at once, the Tang army actually had some problems with the supplies they prepared for the prisoners. However, the Tang army had too much transportation redundancy. They could temporarily allocate transportation capacity to ensure front-line consumption, while the Qin army
The military cannot...
A group of newly arrived prisoners of the Qin army nervously asked about the hardships they would face, but the answers they received were surprising. They were responsible for building their own prisoner-of-war camp, as well as building nearby pipelines, building water supply systems, and digging.
Water channels are prepared for next year's farming.
In addition, they also had to build roads, cooperate with the Tang Army's engineering troops to build some infrastructure, and also learn some skills: including simple lathes, fitters, millers, and some manual skills.
In short, there are no idlers in the prisoner-of-war camps of the Tang Empire. Everyone must prove the value of their existence and contribute to the construction of the Tang Empire.
