Guo Zhiyuan looked at the group of compatriots in front of him who were dressed in rags and had empty eyes like walking corpses, and felt a pain in his heart for no reason, the Chinese nation is really a suffering nation, in the thousands of years of history of the Chinese nation, there are really only a handful of dynasties that have been peaceful and peaceful, wars, natural disasters, and plagues one after another, for the kind and hard-working Chinese people, they can have food and clothing every day, and they feel very happy to have a stable home that can shelter from the wind and rain. But even such a low demand is difficult to achieve for the Chinese people at the bottom, like these imprisoned Chinese prisoners, who had to leave their homeland to come to Manila in order to make a living, only to die in a foreign country. Slaughter. The relatives who were killed in the killing will never have the opportunity to return to their homeland, and they will not even be able to find their complete bones!

It's no wonder that these Chinese prisoners are so numb, there is a limit to the pain that people can bear, when the limit is broken, people will despair of life, and they will no longer be interested in anything, just rely on instinct to live like the walking dead, although Guo Zhiyuan liberated them from the Spaniards' cells, but he could not liberate them from self-enclosed mental captivity, plus more than a year of captivity and torture, their bodies are close to running out, If Guo Zhiyuan had just left with them, Guo Zhiyuan suspected that less than half of the more than 500 Chinese prisoners would eventually return to China alive.

Of course, Guo Zhiyuan can't let this happen, he has a selfish heart in addition to sympathy for these suffering compatriots, these more than 500 Chinese prisoners can leave their homeland to make a living in Manila, they must all have a skill, and they have been dealing with the Spaniards for a long time, and they are also the first group of people to contact the advanced technology and ideas of the West, it can be said that these more than 500 people are rare talents for Guo Zhiyuan, Guo Zhiyuan will establish his own power at sea in the future, these more than 500 people are Guo Zhiyuan's help, It can be said that these more than 500 Chinese prisoners are the biggest harvest of Guo Zhiyuan's mission to Luzon!

To let these more than 500 people become his help, Guo Zhiyuan must first let these more than 500 Chinese prisoners regain their strength and ignite their hope for the future, thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan first bowed deeply to the more than 500 Chinese prisoners in front of him, and said with deep affection: "Compatriots, you have suffered! I'm sorry to be late! ……”

There was a slight commotion among the Chinese prisoners, Guo Zhiyuan's actions surprised them, in their eyes, the officials and masters of the Ming Dynasty were all high, how could they bow and apologize to these lowly prisoners? At this time, Guo Zhiyuan straightened his waist, raised his arms and exclaimed: "But since I am here, please rest assured, you are free!" It's safe! No one dares to make things difficult for you, no one dares to whip you with a leather whip, I will bring you back to Daming one by one and take you home! ……”

"Go home!" These two words exploded in the minds of the more than 500 Chinese prisoners like an earth-shattering shock, and a glimmer of light finally appeared in their empty eyes, yes! Home is the warmest harbor for people, no matter how much pain and suffering outside, as long as you go home, the wounds of the soul will be slowly healed, there is home, there is hope! Many Chinese prisoners began to cry with their heads in their arms, and the cries soon became one, this cry was more of a catharsis, the nightmare was finally over, and they could finally go home!

Those who cried had families, but there were still many Chinese prisoners who did not cry, and the despair in their eyes was even deeper, because they no longer had a home, and their relatives had already grown up in Manila last year. Slaughter. Killed in the killing and became a lonely person, Guo Zhiyuan's words made them even more desperate, and many people muttered to themselves: "Go home? My home is gone, how can I get back? ……”

This is exactly the effect that Guo Zhiyuan wants to see, people will only know how to cherish and be grateful more after experiencing despair, and continue to raise their arms and shout: "Home is gone, we can rebuild!" As long as you believe in me, I promise you that after returning to the motherland, you are willing to go home, and if you have no home, you can follow me, I will give you land, and do my best to help you rebuild your home, you can rebuild your family, have children, I will also build a workshop, build a school, you can work in the workshop, your children can study in the school, as long as you are diligent and willing to work, I guarantee that each of you will have food and clothing, and no one can bully you and hurt your relatives. And the hatred of your lost relatives, I will also help you recover it in the future! ……”

All the Chinese prisoners were stunned and looked at Guo Zhiyuan in disbelief, how could there be such a good thing? More than a dozen Chinese prisoners close to the front row surrounded Guo Zhiyuan excitedly, and said in a trembling voice: "This old man, are you telling the truth?" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan had already guessed that the Chinese prisoners would react like this, and pointed to the regimental training villagers behind him and said: "Of course it's true, if you don't believe it, you can ask them, they were ordinary people like you before they followed me......

Guo Zhiyuan's regimental training township soldiers this time were all the first to follow him, including Xie Erhu, Xie Erhu can now be said to admire Guo Zhiyuan so much, and without waiting for Guo Zhiyuan to speak, he stood up excitedly and said loudly: "My name is Xie Erhu, a native of Gutian County, Fujian, and I am a hunter on the mountain before my family Guo Daren, I have never said nonsense with a bad conscience in my life, I use my head to assure you that what my Guo Lord Guo said is all true, if you still don't believe it, you can go to our Gutian County to inquire after you go back, There is no one who does not say that my family is good......"

Xie Erhu has never read any books, and he speaks in the vernacular, but on the contrary, his vernacular is more convincing to these Chinese prisoners, making them listen very kindly, and the Chinese prisoners who were still suspicious became more and more excited, and the dozen or so Chinese prisoners in the front row even knelt directly in front of Guo Zhiyuan, and said incoherently with excitement: "Master, we believe, we believe!" You are our reborn parents, and we are willing to follow you! Please take us home! ……”

As soon as the dozen or so Chinese prisoners in the front row knelt, more than 500 Chinese all knelt down, and shouted in unison: "Master, we believe in you, please take us home!" ……”
