After the defeat of the Taiping Rebellion, the Manchu government concentrated its forces against the peasant army forces in the northwest, and the peasant armies of Wu Lingyun and Li Wencai were defeated one after another.

In 1868, Wu Lingyun was killed in battle, and his son Wu Ya finally led nearly 10,000 defeated troops to Annan and seized Gaoping Province as a temporary residence, and the situation of the peasant army was restored.

Wu Ya finally seized cities and towns in the border areas and repeatedly defeated the encircled and suppressed Annan army, but as a result, the Annan court became increasingly wary of other small Chinese forces in the territory, and constantly sent superior forces to attack the scattered small peasant army forces, and the situation of the Chen brothers and Wu Fengdian became more and more dangerous.

With less than 100 young and strong people, and there was little hope of victory in resisting the attack of thousands of Vietnamese troops, the Chen brothers and Wu Fengdian had already planned to switch to other large peasant forces, but after receiving Ye Chenglin's letter, the three immediately decided to abandon the village they occupied and move to Xialong to join Ye Chenglin.

One or two hundred people migrated and didn't need to carry much with them, and the two peasant armies rushed to Xialong with a few days' rations on each of them.

A few days later, the Chen brothers and Wu Fengdian rushed to Xialong, two hundred miles away, and met Sun Bin, Ye Chenglin, and others who were personally greeted outside the village.

"Brother Zongbai, Brother Shangfa, Brother Fengdian, I was waiting for the three of them to arrive early." The Chen brothers and Wu Fengdian's team arrived together, and Ye Chenglin greeted them with a smile.

"After receiving the letter from Brother Ye, my eldest brother and I put down the family business in the village and rushed over, and the food and hoes were all lost.

Chen Shangfa happily held Ye Chenglin's big hand, and said a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, if the brothers were united a few days ago, I would still have to worry about the pressure on food logistics, but Mr. Sun is here, not to mention anything else, rice and sweet potatoes ensure that everyone is full."

Ye Chenglin waved his hand and said in high spirits.

"This is Mr. Sun in the mouth of Brother Ye, Chen Zongbai came to seek refuge with His Royal Highness the Prince of the Prince, and hoped that Mr. Sun would take him in." Chen Zongbai saw Sun Bin behind him, and did not catch up with Ye Chenglin, but took two steps forward and said respectfully.

"Wu Fengdian, a member of the Heaven and Earth Society, has seen Mr. Sun."

Wu Fengdian saw Chen Zongbai saluting a scholar, and also stepped forward to pay respects.

"The two brothers are invited to get up quickly, everyone who joins the Wehrmacht has become their own brothers, and there is no need to be so polite." Sun Bin helped the two of them up, looked at Chen Shangfa behind him with a smile and said, "This is Brother Chen Shangfa, I have heard of Brother Chen's heroic deeds for a long time." ”

Chen Shangfa was in good health, and after following Huang Shangying to learn martial arts, he led his peasant armed forces to defeat the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army in the border areas of Annam and Guangxi several times, and was a famous peasant army brave general in Annam.

Chen Shangguang looked at the old days with Ye Chenglin, and only reacted after hearing Sun Bin's question: "It's all raised by the brothers, and some small things are not worth mentioning." ”

"Second brother, come and meet Mr. Sun." Chen Shangfa has a loyal personality and acts roughly, Chen Zongbai was worried that his younger brother would offend the other party, so he immediately reminded.

"Everyone is doing things for His Royal Highness the Prince, and some trivial etiquette is enough."

Most of the soldiers in the South American Defense Force were from the bottom of the rough peasants, and Sun Bin got used to getting along with them and adapting to them.

"Brothers, you've been on your way for a few days, and you're sure you're all hungry. Brother Ye, tell the brothers to prepare wine and food, and we will entertain you well today. ”

"It's still Mr. Sun who is considerate, I have eaten Wotou for a few days, and my stomach is hungry." Chen Shangfa immediately said loudly: "Big brother, didn't we bring two buffaloes with us on the road, just take advantage of today's happiness and slaughter them to make snacks." ”

"Second brother, don't talk nonsense, the two buffaloes will be handed over to Mr. Sun for placement, and they will depend on them for farming in the village in the future, otherwise what will we eat in the future!"

Chen Zongbai glared at his younger brother fiercely, blaming him for not knowing anything.

"It's really boring, I don't eat it if I don't know, I'm not rare." Chen Shangfa muttered angrily, not daring to confront his eldest brother in person.

The younger brother who does not have a small temper, Chen Zongbai arched his hand to Sun Bin and said: "It's not that the villain is stingy and reluctant to give the brothers two buffaloes to improve the food, but that the Anbei District has been in war for many years, and there is a shortage of cattle and livestock, leaving two buffaloes can help cultivate the land in the village, which can save everyone a lot of trouble. ”

Sun Bin has personally witnessed how poor the remnants of the peasant army in Annan are, there are more than 200 Chinese in Ye Chenglin's village, including Han Chinese, Zhuang people, and Miao people, and there are only a few dozen livestock such as ploughing cattle and chickens and ducks, and seven or eight pairs of hoes and iron plows, as for the clothes on their bodies, a young couple has four or five sets at most, and the children's clothes are not enough to wear, so they can only be worn by a few brothers and sisters. In addition to being armed to fight the enemy during the war, the Chinese who gathered to live in the villages were similar to ordinary peasants, and they also had to reclaim wasteland to grow grain, and the fertile land in Annam was owned by the local big landlords, and the Chinese villages did not dare to rob them for cultivation, otherwise they would face a joint attack from the landlords' armed forces and the Annam army.

The Chinese later helped Annan defend against the French attack, but the successive victories concealed the sorrow of the unknown.

The Han people did not lack brave soldiers, and the Manchu court repeatedly failed in foreign wars, and the main culprit was the corrupt and degenerate traitor landlord class.

Sun Bin had also experienced a more miserable life in the Peruvian mines, and he felt the same way when he heard Chen Zongbai's words of shame because of the two buffaloes.

"Brothers are living a tight and hard life in Annan, and I can understand Brother Chen's feelings. However, when His Royal Highness the Prince of the World sent down to Annam, he could not let everyone live a hard life anymore. ”

Thinking of the thriving national strength of Rio Gran do Sul, Sun Bin felt confident in his heart: "Sun Mou naturally can't be stingy when he entertains everyone for the first time, Brother Ye, the five pigs and thirty chickens bought yesterday have all been slaughtered, and dozens of jars of good wine have been bought nearby, and today I will definitely let my brothers eat and drink well." ”

"Sir, isn't it too wasteful to eat five pigs and thirty chickens at once?" Ye Chenglin had never been so generous since entering Annan, so he reminded in a low voice.

"Brother Ye is too worried, this little thing can't be eaten by us."

Sun Bin smiled slightly, and did not tell him that the supply fleet that sailed from Natuna Island would arrive in two days, and that a batch of more lucrative logistics supplies would be replenished in two days.

"Mr. Sun is bold, it's right to follow you!"

There was wine and meat to eat, and Cheng Shangfa's interest immediately rose.

"Big brother, big brother Ye, brothers, let's stop standing outside, follow Mr. Sun to the house to eat meat!"

"Hey!" Outside, hundreds of peasant soldiers, old and young, shouted together, and then followed Sun Bin and others into the village.
