At this moment, Hong Hai also came back and reported to Qian Guoyu that many Chinese had decided to go to the farm, of course, how many people in the body could not be counted, and they could only wait for the final number of people gathered, but Hong Hai was very sure that he would never end to 1,000 people. Of course, this is mainly due to the prestige and influence of the Zhang family in Java, and the fact that some people from the Zhang family came forward to support the People's Army also made many Chinese believe that the People's Army could protect them, and the performance of the People's Army in repelling the natives also played a certain role.

At this time, people were already gathering in the square one after another, and Qian Guoyu asked Hong Hai to pull all the vehicles from Zhang's shop over, because these vehicles would definitely be useful after a while.

When Hong Hai was about to leave, he saw the priest and Li Lihua leading a group of children over, Li Lihua had changed into a tight-fitting narrow-sleeved long skirt, and was wearing a white sunhat with a large brim, followed by several servants, carrying several boxes. When Hong Hai saw this, he hurriedly greeted him, saluted the priest, and said, "Father Faria, have you decided to go to the farm too? That's great." ”

Father Faria laughed and said, "No, I will stay here and not there, the Lord will bless his most faithful servant, and it is Miss Christine and these children who go to the farm, and I hope you will take good care of them." ”

Hong Hai hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Mr. Smith and our master are old friends, Miss Li is of course our honored guest when she arrives at the farm, and she will definitely receive the best hospitality." ”

Li Lihua also bowed to Hong Hai and said, "Mr. Hong, I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

Hong Hai hurriedly said: "There, Miss Li is a distinguished guest that we can't invite, but the conditions of the farm are not as good as here, and we have to ask Miss Li to take care of it a little more." ”

At this time, Li Lihua came to Qian Guoyu again and said, "Mr. Major, I'm sorry, I was too emotional just now, I blame you, thank you for saving me and these children, and I will trouble you to take care of them in the future." ”

Qian Guoyu said: "No need, these are our tasks, you go to the square first and wait for a while, and I will arrange two cars for you later." ”

Li Lihua nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

Hong Tao sent them all the way to the square, and then returned to Qian Guoyu's side. Qian Guoyu asked about the origin of this girl named Li Lihua. Hong Tao was very clear, so he explained it to Qian Guoyu in detail.

It turns out that this Li Lihua's father, Joe* Smith is a British businessman, but their family has been doing business in Java, has been in business for more than 60 years, and now has formed a family, and to Li Lihua's generation, it is the fourth generation, and after decades of operation, formed a business with Java as the core, radiating India and China, and accumulated a huge amount of wealth, although it is not as good as the Zhang family, but it is also a top business family in Java; 。

Although the Smith family operates in Java, it has not completely severed its ties with Europe, and when the children reach the age of 10-13, they will be sent to Europe to study, and then return to Java when they reach adulthood, of course, some children will stay in Europe and run the family business in Europe.

Miss Li Lihua was sent to Europe to go to school at the age of 12, and two years ago, when she was 18 years old, she returned to Java, but she seemed to have little interest in running the family business, and was very enthusiastic about charity and education, managing a hospital and a school of the Smith family in the city of Batavia, and this church was built by the Smith family in the name of Miss Li Lihua, and housed some local orphans, who often came to the church to give lessons. Therefore, Li Lihua is still very well received in the local area.

In the end, Hong Tao also told Qian Guoyu that although this Miss Li Lihua is 20 years old, she is not married, not even engaged, but she is from a wealthy family, her appearance is also outstanding, and she is knowledgeable, and the Smith family does not disassemble marriage with locals, which naturally attracts many suitors, including some Chinese and local natives, and even Zhang Zhenxun has the idea of marrying the Smith family. Because the Smith family is from the United Kingdom, they have a very high status in Java, and they have a lot of competition with the Zhang family in business, and there have been some shopping mall battles, but Zhang Zhenxun does not want to fight with the Smith family like this, so he hopes to resolve the contradictions between the two sides through marriage with the Smith family, and solve the business disputes between the two families through negotiation and negotiation, and the marriage with the Smith family will be of great help to enhance the status of the Zhang family in Java.

Now Zhang Zhenxun has a total of 6 sons, the same age as Li Lihua, and there are 2 people who are not married, but the conditions of the Smith family are too high, and the Zhang family is required to make a lot of concessions in the business field, but he does not give an inch, which is of course unacceptable to Zhang Zhenxun, so he did not promote this family business. However, the Zhang family still has a good impression of Li Lihua's personality.

After listening to Qian Guoyu, he also had a general understanding of Li Lihua. In fact, building hospitals and opening schools is also a very common thing among wealthy families, and families or businessmen who have accumulated wealth to a certain extent will invest in a part of social welfare affairs in order to win a good reputation for themselves, after all, fame is also a very important intangible asset. However, Li Lihua's concern for the safety of children just now was not pretended.

At this time, people joined the team to go to the farm, and the final count of 1,833 people before departure, of which 126 were Europeans, 61 were natives, and the rest were all Chinese. Of course, there were still about 1,000 people who did not want to go with the KPA, some of whom decided to venture back to Batavia, while a few insisted on staying in the town and did not want to leave.

Qian Guoyu didn't force this, anyway, the benefits and disadvantages of Cheng Po have been made clear, and he is responsible for the consequences of the choices he makes. Hong Tao also brought in all the vehicles from the shops, together with the vehicles brought by the people, a total of 12 vehicles, and with the vehicles of other merchants, there were a total of 52 vehicles, and there were 87 donkeys and horses.

Qian Guoyu first allocated two cars to Li Lihua and the children, and the other 10 vehicles were assigned to carry the old and weak children, and some of the old and weak were assigned to other vehicles.

Nothing happened along the way, more than two hours later, the group arrived at the farm, and Zhu Shoushan, who stayed on the farm, had already received the news, because he knew that Li Lihua also came to the farm, and he did not dare to slack off, of course he knew the grievances between the Zhang family and the Smith family, and now Li Lihua came to his own farm, which was an opportunity for the Smith family to release goodwill, and naturally he wanted to receive Li Lihua well.

So Zhu Shoushan personally came forward to greet Li Lihua, and arranged two rooms for Li Lihua on the farm, one for Li Lihua to live in, and one for her children to live. As for other people's arrangements, Qian Guoyu also handed over all the arrangements to Zhu Shoushan to deal with, and in the past few days, the farm has built a lot of simple houses that can accommodate this group of people.

However, if you live in a farm, you must have several rules: first, you can only move in the designated area, and the inner city of the farm, as well as the barracks and outposts of the People's Army, are all forbidden places; second, if you want to enter or leave the farm, you must go through the corresponding procedures; third, you must carry your belongings with you, Fourth, it is strictly forbidden to defecate in the camp or in the wild, but to go to specially built toilets, and each person is responsible for the sanitation of each person's tent and its surroundings; fifth, food and drink are uniformly supplied by the farm, and it is forbidden to start a fire in the camp, and it is strictly forbidden to drink unboiled water; sixth, if one is sick, one should immediately report to the medical office, receive treatment, and receive regular physical examinations; seventh, obey the management of the farm, and the farm will organize personnel to conduct a management inspection of the camp, and those who violate the regulations will have the right to be expelled by the farm。

After hearing this, everyone did not object, in fact, these regulations are not excessive, they are all normal management, even if they come to the farm to ask for asylum, they cannot be too demanding.

Subsequently, Zhu Shoushan arranged for manpower to register and number the people who lived in the farm one by one, and issued each person with a number plate, and then arranged a place for them to live and so on. The KPA, on the other hand, is only responsible for maintaining order.

After explaining everything, Qian Guoyu came to the headquarters and reported all the things to Li Lixin. However, Li Lixin told Qian Guoyu that Zhang Zhijun had the latest news from Batavia City.

According to the internal notice arranged by the Zhang family in the Governor's Palace, the British side had already made a decision to send warships from Xinjiapo to Batavia to help the Dutch colonial authorities to fight against the East China government.

Originally, the attitude of the Viceroyalty of Batavia towards the East China Government was divided into two factions, one group advocated that the East China Government should take a tough attitude, immediately requisition troops, attack the farms, and solve the problem by force. Some European businessmen and local forces in Java, on the other hand, advocated détente, believing that the chances of victory in the war with the KPA were not great, and that the consequences of defeat should be serious, so they should negotiate with the East China government and immediately stop the anti-Chinese behavior in Java.

But after the British decided to intervene, the hardliners' voices suddenly rose and overwhelmed the calls for détente, and Rossburu had great hopes for the British, so he immediately ordered troops to be requisitioned from all over Java, and when the British warships arrived in Java, they would attack the farms.

Naturally, Li Lixin did not dare to delay such important news, and immediately reported it to the Kunming ship, which in turn directly reported it to Qingdao.
