ps: Thank you for your support from the little cabbage stewed mushrooms!

"Platoon commander, that guy is very cunning, the brothers were discovered by him just after they passed, and they let him slip away in advance, what should we do now?"

"What can I do! This is the task personally assigned by His Royal Highness the Prince, and if you mess things up, no one should think about it! ”

The leading officer snorted angrily, "It's not easy to find someone for such a simple thing, how can you let Lao Tzu do things in the army in the future, you, you, you, the three of you, each with a squad of people will search along North Street for me, and I must find people before tonight, do you understand!" ”

"Yes, platoon commander! ……

Evading the search of the soldiers sent by Li Mingyuan, the man in cloth realized that he had been targeted by the officers and soldiers, and after leaving the crowd, he did not dare to continue to stay near the Valhalla in Beicheng, and turned around and walked towards the crowded market.

The market was full of people, and some small vendors with no fixed shops moved through the crowd carrying heavy goods on their shoulders and selling them.

The man in cloth walked in the crowd, looked at an inn next to the street, looked a little hesitant, stopped in place, stretched out his right hand and took out a few pieces of broken silver, and then touched the empty belly, and the man finally moved his steps and walked towards the inn.

At noon, the inn was full of people, and the man in cloth walked to a table with only two people, and bowed his hand and said, "The two brothers are polite, I wonder if you can sit at the same table with the two of you?" ”

"There are still two empty seats at the wine table, and this brother will sit down."

The two Chinese people in front of the wine table had just had their hair cut, about half an inch long, and they spoke in a tone with a Zhejiang provincial dialect accent, and the man in cloth guessed that they might be businessmen from other places.

"The two brothers are richly dressed, presumably the bosses who do business here, and it is a privilege for the brothers to be able to share the table with the two today."

"Hehe, this brother is polite, the two of us are just catching up with the opportunity of the South American Chinese to build a country, and earn a little hard-earned money to buy land and real estate, and we don't deserve the praise of our brothers."

The Chinese businessman at the head was slightly older than the man in cloth, and the other party's words were reasonable and modest, which gave him a good impression, so he said a few more words.

"Haven't consulted my brother's name yet?"

"In Xia Honghe, Jiangxi Jiujiang people." The man in cloth paused for a moment and gave an ordinary name.

"It turned out to be Brother Hong." The Chinese businessman smiled politely and said, "My brothers are from Ningbo Mansion, Zhejiang Province, and they just became naturalized in Rio Gran do Sul a month ago. ”

"Fortunately, it is fate to be able to meet the two Zhou brothers, the brothers don't have much money on them, today I took the initiative to invite the two brothers to eat a thin wine, and please don't dislike the two brothers."

"When we meet for the first time, how can I let Brother Hong break the bank, and even if I have a treat, it should be my two brothers who invite Brother Hong."

The generosity and boldness of the man in cloth exceeded Zhou Chengye's expectations, and he refused again and again.

The man in cloth does not have much money on him, and he is diligent and thrifty when he eats, but he is very generous in the face of outsiders.

Outside Valhalla, he was searched by Li Mingyuan's soldiers, and the man in cloth thought that he was showing his flaws when chatting with the middle-aged Chinese in the crowd, so after entering the inn, he specially selected two merchants who seemed to have just entered the local area, and prepared to learn about other aspects of Rio Gran do Sul from their mouths.

The man in cloth had his own plan in his heart, of course he would not let the Zhou brothers pay for the meal, and after some shirk, the man in cloth took out most of the broken silver he was carrying and solved the problem of food money.

The three of them didn't ask for much food, and the broken silver that the man in cloth took out was not much in the eyes of the Zhou brothers, who were wealthy, but the man in cloth won the favor of the two.

After the man in cloth paid for the meal, the three gradually became acquainted, and the topic of conversation shifted from their respective experiences to a series of recent policies and decrees in Rio Grande do Sul.

"Brother Hong, my brother advises you, take advantage of the preferential treatment of Chinese immigrants here in Rio Gran do Sul, and transfer your family here as soon as possible, otherwise it may not be such a good opportunity if it is too late."

"My brother is telling the truth, my two brothers went to sea at the age of fifteen or sixteen, Nanyang, America, Cuba and the Qing Dynasty, there is no place like Rio Grande do South for the sake of our Chinese, my brother and I have discussed it, and in a few days I will send a letter to the second uncle and fourth uncle who stayed in the Qing Dynasty to persuade them to immigrate to Rio Grande del Sul.

And Brother Hong is a few years older than his brothers, and there must be a lot of wives and children in the family, so why not make up your mind to bring them all to Rio Gran do Sul, it is better than being oppressed by officials in the Great Qing Dynasty. ”

"The kindness of the two brothers is appreciated, but the brothers' families, wives and children all left in the war a few years ago, and my brother is now alone and has nothing to worry about."

The man in cloth smiled bitterly, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all.

A few years ago, in the Qing Dynasty Civil War, my Fa Bo family was all killed by the Qing Dynasty officials and soldiers, after the war stopped, how can I and other small people seek justice for the dead Uncle family?

Whether it is the Taiping Army, officers and soldiers, as soon as the soldiers arrive, the low-level people are not at their mercy. ”

Zhou Chengye felt the same way.

"Five years ago, my brother and I went back to my hometown of Ningbo once and heard from the villagers in my hometown that when the troops of Master Li and Master Zeng occupied Su, Chang, Song, Jiangning and other places in Jiangnan, all the property of the wealthy merchants and landlords in the city was robbed, and tens of thousands of young ladies of the rich merchants and landlords were humiliated by the officers and soldiers. Alas, after the robbery of the officers and soldiers, the prosperous Jiangnan became a ruined land, and the originally well-off family became left with nothing and had to go overseas to earn a living. ”

"I'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled world. It's a pity that the Taiping army did not overthrow the rule of the Manchu court, otherwise we would not have to go into exile overseas and would not have returned to our hometown. ”

The words of the Zhou brothers evoked the feelings hidden in the heart of the man in cloth, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Hong's words, I don't agree with my brother, don't say that the Taiping army did not occupy the whole of China, that is, when Hong Tianwang Nanjing ascended to the pole, the Taiping army was a million, and the horse stepped on the world and unified the Central Plains, but after the capital of the kingdom of heaven, Hong Tianwang did not want to forge ahead, and wantonly searched for beauties for a person to have sexual pleasure, and later designed to kill Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east of the heavenly kingdom, and tens of thousands of elites under the command of the east king, the decline of the kingdom of heaven was caused by the king of Hong Tianwang's willful behavior, if the king of Hong was replaced, and the prince of the prince ruled the kingdom of heaven, maybe there was a chance to unify the Central Plains, It's a pity that the prince was only a few years old at the beginning, and he couldn't turn the tide in power.

Current affairs create heroes, if His Royal Highness the Prince of the Princes was born twenty years early, the splendid rivers and mountains of the Central Plains would not be occupied by the Tartars, and the Han family would be able to recover as soon as possible. ”

"Hong Tianwang is high, it is difficult for ordinary generals to get in touch with the Heavenly King, how can you know about the Heavenly King?"

The man in cloth did not deny Hong Xiuquan's mistake, but was surprised that an ordinary businessman could learn about such a confidential thing.

"Hehe, Brother Hong should know that His Royal Highness the Prince of Rio Grand Sul, the Prince of Southern Rio Grande has been following the King since he was a child, and he can naturally understand the affairs of King Hong, not to mention that there are many soldiers in the National Defense Army who escaped after the destruction of Nanjing, and they have more or less come into contact with the people around the King of Heaven, and they are not ignorant of the King's actions in Nanjing City."

"Although King Hong has a small mistake, it is not as unbearable as Brother Zhou said, it must be someone else who deliberately slanders the reputation of the King of Heaven with false rumors, I hope Brother Zhou will not be deceived by rumors."

"Brother Hong, don't get excited, I'm just talking about the matter, and I don't mean to slander King Hong at all, and the news I got is not a rumor, but a news I personally heard from an officer of the Wehrmacht.

If Brother Hong still doesn't believe it, you can personally inquire about the news from the Wehrmacht, the Wehrmacht treats ordinary Chinese brothers very well, and I believe that they will not refuse Brother Hong's request, and then Brother Hong will be able to judge whether what I said today is a lie. ”

After listening to Zhou Chengye's explanation, the man in cloth suddenly fell silent, from an objective point of view, although Zhou Chengye's evaluation of Hong Xiuquan was a little biased, but he did not frame him, he killed a good general, was arrogant, mediocre and lustful, and personally contacted Hong Xiuquan for decades, the man in cloth understood Hong Xiuquan's temperament better than others, the reason why he refuted the words of the Zhou brothers just now was just a subjective mood swing, after really calming down, even if he was entangled in his heart, he had to admit that what the other party said was basically in line with the actual situation.
