The greeting between the two sides was very warm, because the group of oars from Sulu was also among them, and they were very excited when they saw Zhu Beiguo---- they had seen this slender and handsome Australian in Hollo Harbor.

These former oarsmen, the soldiers of today, will never forget the thrilling scene they witnessed on the sea outside the port of Holo, and they consider themselves lucky to have met and then been released by the Australians.

Zhu Beiguo had already learned about the whereabouts of the group of oars through Sister Xianggu and Li Sanduo, and today they really met in Manado, of course they had to go up and say a few more words to them.

There were a total of sixty-four oars in this group of oars, as slaves, they came from the Arabian Peninsula, India and Nanyang, although this group of people only learned some simple daily Chinese in Nantianyi Village, but obviously could not hinder their warm communication with Zhu Beiguo---- I really couldn't understand and the villagers next to them to translate, so Zhu Beiguo and they even talked to them, and learned how they escaped to Sulawesi, how they were taken in by the Xianggu sisters, and of course, the recent tragic battle with the Tag Kingdom.

At this time, Zhu Beiguo's mind moved, and he really wanted to take this group of people under his command, he felt that this group of people was very suitable to be his assistants, and the Federal Immigration Bureau needed such people.

Of course, now it's just a thought in Zhu Beiguo's heart, Zhu Beiguo doesn't want to ask for someone immediately on this occasion---- although he knows that as long as he asks for someone, Sister Xianggu will definitely give it, but I don't know why, Zhu Beiguo just doesn't want to do this, he feels that doing this is very good, it is not good for Xianggu, and it may even make Xianggu embarrassed.

The bustle on the pier lasted for about half an hour, and then everyone left the beach and walked into the stockade.

After that battle, the villagers not only captured seven fast crab boats that were still floating on the water, but also salvaged six large rowboats that sank outside the pier, and repaired one of them.

Therefore, many bronze cannons were installed behind the wooden fence of the stockade---- compared with the past, although there was no dangerous terrain around the stockade, but there were a large number of firearms, so that the defense of the stockade was still not weak.

The two sides soon sat down in a large room in the middle of the village, and Xianggu sent people to serve fragrant tea.

Zhu Beiguo was very happy and surprised by this, because this tea was actually the Maofeng of the southern part of the mainland, Zhu Beiguo thought to himself, which shows that the foreign trade tentacles of Nantian Yizhai are extremely wide......

So Zhu Beiguo took a small sip of tea very comfortably, and then cleared his throat and began to introduce the northbound action to the Xianggu sisters, he euphemistically expressed a meaning: I hope that the village can help him to transport refugees north to the Leizhou Peninsula, Zhu Beiguo said, 30,000 refugees, thousands of miles away, time is pressing, at present we not only lack capacity, but also need a navigation guide to sail north.

According to Huang Xianggu's careful thoughts, of course, she could hear what Brother Zhu meant, she agreed to Zhu Beiguo's request without hesitation on the spot, Xianggu said, let Xi'er stay in the water village, and she personally got on the boat as a guide and set off with Brother Zhu's fleet.

Zhu Beiguo couldn't help but feel grateful when he heard this, and his mood was a little complicated for a while, at this time Xu Zhi glanced at Zhu Beiguo beside him, and then turned his head and said to Sister Xianggu, we will not make the ships of the village in vain, and there is still a lot of business to be done between us.

Zhu Beiguo listened to a pat on the head, quickly got up and handed over, and said loudly to Sister Xianggu and her generals, Beiguo is here to thank the Holy Maiden and the generals for their help, that's right, Australia is not in vain to use the ships of Guizhai to ---- this operation, all those who participate in the operation, in addition to the grain and grass are all supplied by Australia, they will also pay silver taels according to the number of people transported, in addition, the calico glassware, sugar and Australian medicines brought by the ship this time are provided to the village, the price has a certain discount, and the quantity is more than last time......

Before Zhu Beiguo finished speaking, the villagers immediately became excited, and everyone in the big house talked about it, and the excitement was overflowing.

It is no wonder that the villagers are so excited, and now the popularity of Australian goods in the Nanyang region has surpassed that of hard currencies such as gold and silver, especially in the various indigenous kingdoms, for the sake of Australian goods, the Tag Kingdom even wants to fight against Nantian Yizhai.

As you can imagine, these goods are so popular in the region that whoever has access to Australian goods will surely make a fortune.

At this time, Xu Zhi also hurriedly got up and said to Sister Xianggu, time is pressing, everyone! Do you want to go to the ship to inspect the goods now? According to our plan of action, we will rush to the coast of Lei Lian by mid-June, so how about we hurry up and do things now?

Sister Xianggu immediately agreed, and then instructed his husband who was in charge of the accounts on the spot, and took everyone to the dock to inspect the silver, and he turned around and assigned the generals, and after a brief discussion with the generals, it was decided that among the three Cantonese tea boats, one plus all the pulp boats were left to guard the village, and Xianggu wanted to personally lead two tea boats to go north with Brother Zhu's fleet, and then assigned a few old ships familiar with the waterway on the spot to use Xu Zhi and Liu Erhei's boat as guides, and Xianggu also arranged herself on Brother Zhu's boat, saying that she wanted to personally give Brother Zhu as a guide.

When Zhu Beiguo heard this, he didn't know what he was thinking in his mind, his old face turned red, he subconsciously looked at Xu Zhipeng and Hu Hu, but the brothers didn't respond, they didn't seem to hear it, they just cared about talking to Xi'er and the villagers.

Zhu Beiguo had no choice but to look back at Xianggu, and then looked at the high-top embroidered cloth shoes on Xianggu's feet and nodded and said, this is very good, but the feminist number is not as good as the Pride, the boat is small and narrow, and the girl is going to be wronged, but Xianggu pursed her lips and responded with a smile, Xianggu is not the first little daughter-in-law on the boat, but her pretty face is also red as soon as she speaks, and there is no follow-up, the two sides are embarrassed, Xi'er came over and took her sister's hand and said to Zhu Beiguo: Sister has been through wind and rain at sea for a long time, and there is a fleet, so Xi'er is not very worried, It's just that this road is far away, my sister should pay attention to her body, and then look at Zhu Beiguo.

The latter quickly responded that there was penicillin and drugs for sepsis on board...... Belch...... When Xianggu got on board, there was also a special cabin...... At this moment, Zhu Beiguo was incoherent, but fortunately, Xu Zhi next to him came over in time to invite the Xianggu sisters to go to the ship to see the goods together, which made Zhu Beiguo get out of an embarrassing situation.

On the morning of July 7, after some thorough preparations, Zhu Beiguo's fleet left Menado, and the two Cantonese tea boats joined the fleet in two columns, with the Nuquan leading the way, led by Huang Xianggu, and led four sailing ships to the northwest......

On the morning of Zhu Beiguo's fleet setting sail north, the fleet led by the Nicole had already crossed the South China Sea and approached the northern mainland, and the original destination of the fleet was Xiaowanshan Island, but on 30 June, the Nicole in transit suddenly received a telegram from the Pride: The Pride had led a total of 23 large and small ships from the fleet of four Chinese merchants, Xue Laixiang, and Gao Jun to the sea near Dongshan Island on the southeast coast of Gaozhou, which was the place to receive refugees determined by both sides after contacting General Chen Shangchuan.

Therefore, the Pride suggested that Nicole change its destination to the Leizhou Peninsula.
