Wang Yongan first visited Berkeley, the governor of the US state of Hawaii, and thanked Berkeley for facilitating the protection of overseas Chinese in the Qing Dynasty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 In his mind, the image of the soldiers of the Great Qing Kingdom is the image of the Huai Army thirty years ago, brave and good at war, it can be said that the image of the Qing Army and the Hunan Army of the Qing Army ensured that the Qing Kingdom did not suffer direct invasion by foreign powers in the following twenty years - until the Cixi Army declared war in the West.

After announcing his welcome speech, Governor Berkeley of Hawaii presented gifts to Wang Yongan and other overseas Chinese protectors, and Wang Yongan also presented Governor Berkeley with a special red dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty Overseas Chinese Protectors. Later, Wang Yongan attended a welcome banquet organized by the Hawaii state government, but Wang Yongan suddenly found that most of the people who came to today's banquet were looking at his group with curiosity -- as if the school organized students to go to the zoo to see the stars, and many people even looked at whether they had braids under their military caps......

Although Wang Yongan doesn't like braids, because of the times and the reason why Wang Yongan often interacts with other officials, he has to keep braids, but maybe it's not because he has kept braids since he was a child, his braids only reach his shoulders, and he looks like some 2B young people who love to pretend to be cool in later generations.

Wang Yongan and the other officers did not like the occasion very much, and after barely coping with the banquet, everyone went to the Xibao Hotel arranged by the Hawaii Chinese Entrepreneurs Association to stay. Lin Huaijue asked the adults what kind of service they needed at night, and Wang Yongan said: "Make us some fried rice, don't cook noodles without fried rice, starve to death." ”

Lin Huaijue was stunned for a moment and asked, "The governor didn't arrange a dinner?" Although he is the leader of Chinese businessmen, he is still like an ant in the eyes of the governor of Berkeley, and he is not qualified to accept the invitation to the dinner, so there are no Chinese people at the welcome banquet in the evening except for Wang Yongan and his party, and Lin Huaijue does not know the scale and situation of the welcome banquet.

Wang Yongan smiled bitterly: "Everyone is used to using chopsticks, not used to using forks and knives, and you can't use your hands to grab food, right?" We Chinese are not blood-drinking beasts. ”

Lin Huaijue laughed and hurriedly asked people to prepare dinner, especially when he heard that Wang Yongan was from Yangzhou and made his favorite Yangzhou fried rice for him - but unfortunately Wang Yongan's favorite food was hand-rolled noodles. Everyone was very satisfied with the hospitality of Lin Huaijue and other Chinese businessmen, Wang Yongan said Mr. Lin, let's sit down and talk together, let's be casual, don't treat me as an official, I also treat you as a friend, let's have a good chat.

Lin Huaijue sat down, also ordered a bowl of noodles, and said with a smile: "I didn't eat when I was entertained in the evening." ”

"Hahaha......"

Everyone laughed, the atmosphere suddenly became a lot more harmonious, the local Chinese felt that the generals of the Overseas Chinese Protector Army were completely different from the Qing army officers and lords who had been in contact with their hometowns in the past, and there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy in them, which made the Chinese settle down and relax their mood to talk and communicate with them.

Wang Yongan asked while eating, "Mr. Lin, how many Chinese are there in Hawaii?" ”

Lin Huaijue said: "About 2,000 people, all of whom were abandoned because of illness when they were transported from Guangdong and Fujian to South America via Hawaii during the development of South America. Speaking of this, he said with emotion: "Our ancestors crossed the ocean for a better life, and we Chinese worked hard to get today's industry." Lord Wang...... In China, I am afraid you can't imagine how much discrimination and exclusion we overseas Chinese have suffered. ”

Wang Yongan said: "No, I can imagine that since I was nine years old, I went to Japan with the old servants to avoid the enemy, I have lived in Japan for nine years, as a Chinese, I have been subjected to many discrimination and injustices, the random beatings of local ruffians and ronins, the insults and abuses of local teenagers of the same age, all kinds of injustices when looking for a job, but no one is willing to accept it when I am studying. Mr. Lin, I have experienced some of the things you can experience, so this time I gave up the peace of life in China to get promoted and make a fortune, and resolutely raised my own military expenses to lead the overseas Chinese army to South America. There are many people in China who say that I am fame-seeking, that I am doing too much, that I don't know the current affairs, and even that I have ill intentions, I don't care, I just want to rely on my own overnight strength to be able to help more overseas Chinese, that's all. ”

Lin Huaijue was greatly moved, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and cried: "There is a king in the Heavenly Empire who is so blue, why worry about the humiliation of overseas Chinese." ”

Wang Yongan hurriedly helped Lin Huaijue up and said, "Mr. Lin, the kid is only twenty-two years old this year, if you knock me, it will simply make me lose my life." ”

Lin Huaijue immediately said: "No, you need to drink today, you need to drink." ”

Wang Yongan hurriedly stopped: "Previously, we had a big battle with the Japanese Guards Division in Yokohama, Japan, and won a great victory, and then I ordered the soldiers to drink celebratory wine, but in the following week, the training of the soldiers was sluggish, especially many people actually got sick. Therefore, we understand Mr. Lin's kindness, soldiers can't drink, and officers must set an example and can't drink. ”

Lin Huaijue said: "For the generals to lead by example, the general is really the contemporary Sun Wu." ”

Wang Yongan hurriedly said: "If Mr. Lin continues to boast, I will be ashamed to go underground, let's eat, eat." ”

Everyone laughed, and the officers under him joked: "Mr. Lin, if you admire our commander-in-chief so much, marry your unmarried granddaughter to our commander." ”

Suddenly, Fang Xianwu, chief of the General Staff, glared at him, and everyone hurriedly closed their mouths, bowed their heads and ate honestly. As if talking about some taboo, the talkative officer bared his teeth again and again, and ran away after eating in a daze.

Lin Huaijue was even more curious, he saw that all the officers were collectively silent, so he closed his mouth in a timely manner, not asking, but this doubt remained in his heart.

After eating supper, the officers rested collectively, Lin Huaijue hurriedly grabbed Wang Yongan's secretary Yu Yadong, and asked why everyone stopped talking all of a sudden today, Yu Yadong smiled slightly and said: "Old gentleman, don't inquire, I won't say, someone talked too much just now, and it will never be again." ”

Mr. Lin was even more puzzled, and the next day he found the talkative officer, and when others were not paying attention, he learned that Wang Yongan's wife had died of illness. Wang Yongan's wife Yuan Nianzhen Bingxue is smart and beautiful, and the overseas Chinese army praised each other, and the two were deeply in love, and Yuan gave birth to a son for Wang Yongan, but died of tuberculosis.

"Alas, this matter is my mouth, I just look at the commander-in-chief's calm face every day, and I don't want him to be depressed." When the officer had finished speaking, he turned and walked away.
