Fortunately, the Zhong family in Macau has a store in Dongguan 13th Street, the Zhong family usually has a good relationship with Gao Jun, the head of the water village, and now the water village is in danger, Gao Jun secretly visited Dongguan and asked the Zhong family to help---- after all, it is said that the Zhong family has a relationship with the king of Pingnan.

So the Zhong family immediately moved their joints, but learned that the cause of this incident was that they were shaving their hair and being easy to wear.

Now the government is very strict on this matter, and it can be said that there is no way to ask for help in this regard, even if it is as expensive as King Pingnan, he is afraid of impeachment by the imperial envoy.

In addition, the king of Pingnan smuggled and sold sea trade, blatantly violating the ban on the sea, and the court also pretended not to know, so the king of Pingnan must also return the favor and not make trouble for the government in terms of shaving his hair and changing clothes.

Seeing that there was almost no room for maneuver in this matter, the Zhong family immediately thought about it, and immediately sent the shopkeeper of the spice shop to visit the water village in person, and suggested in person that Gao Jun should raise the village and flee to the Australians.

The Zhong family also brought a letter to Gao Jun saying that this Australian has lived in the extreme south of the South Seas for a long time, and is a descendant of Song Yashan, who appeared in Macao a few years ago, selling strange goods, with outstanding reputation, benevolence and righteousness, and strong ships.

Now the Australians gather people on the islands south of Macao to reclaim the famine, the plan is very large, and they also need labor very much, and the Australians do not regard the tenants as slaves, where the tenants' land deeds, the land rent is very cheap, and it remains unchanged for 30 years, and the tools are returned, and the villagers can work in their factories, and they can also do business at home, quite laissez-faire.

Therefore, if the villagers want to survive and reproduce, it is better to go to the Australians as a way out than to sit here and wait for death, and after the defeat, the family will be ruined, and the children and grandchildren of the family will be slaves of the Tartars for life.

So this Gao Jun thought about it again and again, and responded to the shopkeeper of the Zhong family: Although I don't know the truth of Australians, with the reputation of the Zhong family, I Gao Jun has no doubt about trust.

It's just that now the villagers have been bullied by the locals for many years, and they have long been unbearable, and now the crowd is angry, and they don't want to run away.

Gao Jun replied to the Zhong family: I think my Dayuan Water Village is also fated by this catastrophe, and now I have been compromised for many years, but I ended up like this, if I don't fight to the death, I am really ashamed of my ancestors!

However, the soldiers are in danger, and they really can't bear to cause trouble to the young women and children in the village, Gao Jun sighed to the shopkeeper of the Zhong family: If the Australian is as the head said, the faith is outstanding, and the rest of the intention can send away more than 500 women and children in the village and children under the age of 15 first, which can be regarded as leaving a legacy for the villagers......

Fortunately, the young and strong men in the rest of the village have no scruples, but they want to fight to the death and end the resentment that has been suppressed in their hearts for many years!

Knowing that Gao Jun had made up his mind, the Zhong family's family could only return to Macau in the starry night, he quickly contacted the Qiao family, and then went to Xiyuan together to talk with the acting divine doctor and Ren Kemi all night......

After careful discussion in Xiyuan, the three families finally decided: to join forces to help Da Yong Wan Water Village, at least first take over the women, children and children of the Water Village, and then find a way to persuade and pick up the men of the Water Village.

So, early the next morning, the brothers led 80 guards aboard the Assassin and joined the three sailing ships of Zhong Qiao and his family towards the Xiangjiang River.

The fleet set off in the morning when the sky was still dark, and the wind was smooth all the way, and finally arrived at the water village of Dayuan Island at noon when the sun was shining.

On the side of the pier trestle, the owners of the Dayuan Bay Water Village and Ren Ai saw each other in the legend.

In Ren Ke Ai Rush's eyes, this high village master does not look like a village master at all.

In addition to the lean and thin body, if you only look at the three flowing slender beards and white face, plus a green cloth robe, if you are walking in the market, it is a middle-aged scholar, and there is no "five big and three thick" that the "village owner" in a wild place should have in the impression of the brothers.

This contrast made Ren Ai and the others feel good.

And Gao Jun obviously has a good sense of the handsomeness of the two Australians, you must know that people in this era attach great importance to "physiognomy", especially in the court and literati circles.

Gao Jun's father is the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty, although he is not a genuine scholarly family, but he is also a child from the poetry classics enlightenment, although now "reduced" to the owner of the village, but the literati temperament and literati way of thinking of the Ming Dynasty are still deep-rooted.

Gao Jun is forty years old, and his stature is tall in the village, about one meter seven or more, only a little shorter than Ren Ke, when Gao Jun saw the two Australians, Ren Ke was fine, and Xiao Ai's height of almost one meter nine made Gao Jun have to look up.

In this era, a person who is more than 1.8 meters tall is rare even in the Ming Dynasty, which has the highest living standard in the world, not to mention that Ren Ke is still recognized as the most beautiful boy among the traversers......

Of course, except for the "fancy dress" of the two brothers in front of them, everything else is quite perfect.

Both of them are a tall imitation of a full set of Midi Xia military uniforms, from shirts to pants, plus a pair of fluffy scalp boots, and now there is only a steel helmet with a grid, which is simply the dress of General Midi on the field battlefield.

Obviously, this kind of dress is strange in the eyes of the villagers, which makes the men and women of the village who are standing not far away curious, and many people are talking and pointing their fingers......

Probably for the sake of convenience and pretending, as early as before the crossing, these young people all coincidentally asked Anna to buy themselves a large number of similar high-imitation army uniforms, and now these costumes are almost the field standard for the members of the Huotang Club.

Okay, the topic came back to the front, on the sand of the wharf, the head of the Zhong family began to gradually introduce the two sides, so Ren Ai and Gao Jun had a serious meeting ceremony, the two sides first collectively hugged their fists and bowed, and then talked about the chronological teeth, according to the orderly etiquette of the elders and young, and then greeted each other separately and saluted each other, and then under the auspices of the Zhong family, the two sides introduced each other separately according to the orderly order of the elders and young, no way, everyone must pay attention to this set, so these people were very tossed on the beach for a while.

In fact, Ren Ai and the others did not feel cumbersome about these etiquettes, but often indulged in them.

Because they found that the seemingly red tape etiquette left by the ancestors actually plays a role in bringing people closer to each other---- because people need a process from strangeness to familiarity, and people can gradually become close from strangers through these seemingly red tape processes, and through these etiquette details, they can basically have a preliminary judgment on a person's conduct and temper, so these things are by no means dispensable.

In a word, many things that have been handed down for thousands of years and still have a market today are by no means insignificant, and sometimes only after they are suddenly lost can people suddenly discover the meaning behind their existence - the etiquette of interpersonal interaction is a typical example.

Well, no more talk, soon, under the leadership of Gao Jun, Ren Ai and the two of them led the soldiers of the garrison into the wide open gate of the wall, and walked up the stone steps to the outside of the big house built on the ridge, where the situation of the entire water village can be overlooked clearly.

The water village is located next to a bay, and the topography is very good for protecting against ocean storms, because in front of the bay, there is a long chain of rocky reefs, which happen to be located like a causeway, blocking the tide from the open sea, making this small bay an excellent typhoon shelter.
