"Yes, my lord!" Liu Yixuan straightened his spine and replied loudly, with his shout, the fifty soldiers shouted neatly, and raised the spear on the side of their legs to their shoulders, at this time, everyone in the entire dock was shocked by the shouting of these fifty-four people, and instantly quieted down, and they all looked at them with a nervous and expectant expression, as if they wanted to see their performance later.

In the rear, they were getting off the ship one after another and lining up at the dock, dressed in yellow-green military uniforms, carrying large backpacks, and wearing steel helmets on their heads, and the Liang family soldiers looked at this group of honor guards with envy and jealousy, but envy is envy, who let his parents not give themselves a long handsome face, and did not let themselves reach a height of 1.8 meters.

Looking at this field unit located behind the honor guard, Liang Pengfei's heart was filled with incomparable pride, these people, except for the muskets in their hands still belong to the products of this era, other equipment has left the armies of any other country in this world far behind.

The uniforms on their bodies are yellow-green, and under the existing conditions, there is no way to directly make camouflage uniforms, but the green uniforms have a great advantage in fighting in the tropical jungle, especially in small-scale operations, and this has been verified in the central Luzon Islands. If necessary, they can take out the ointment made of grass juice from a small glass bottle on their body at any time and apply it on their faces and hands, and then take off the blades of grass from the surrounding area and cover them on their bodies after camouflage, unless the other party has a thermal imager, they will definitely not be able to find their subordinates in a short time.

The important thing is that the canvas is made of clothing, not only because the fabric is strong and resistant to falling and rubbing, but also because it can be fastened at the trouser legs and wrists to prevent mosquitoes, and they also wear thick leather boots on their feet, although not as high as the honor guard, and they are stuffy, but they can prevent the bite of poisonous insects that do not know where they will come from.

In addition to a musket and a bayonet, the most eye-catching thing was the exaggerated backpack and some bits and pieces on their backs. A tin lunch box with a tin kettle in it, and each person was equipped with four short-handled grenades and a collapsible marching shovel on their waists.

The pockets of their military uniforms are also stuffed with all kinds of necessary military offerings, such as gold balm, as long as they are smeared, they can disperse most of the poisonous insects, snakes and ants, such as Yunnan Baiyao and first-aid bandages to deal with trauma, etc., as well as one dose of morphine per person, which is used by soldiers to relieve pain when they encounter major trauma or other serious conditions, Liang Pengfei knows that in World War II, morphine is still a painkiller for the soldiers of each [***] team to defend themselves.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Everyone looks like laborers who are going to go far away, but these excellent soldiers know very well that everything in it is essential, and it can even be said that if they are only one person left, they can survive in the terrible tropical jungle for a month or two, or even half a year, with the contents of this backpack.

"Not to mention encountering the Dutch, even if it is encountering the flying Dutch, Lao Tzu, these soldiers who are almost armed to the teeth, can still clean them up in the tropical jungle." Liang Pengfei thought proudly. I'm also glad that at the end of last year, I finally got a steam engine, and with that thing, things like kettles, sapper shovels, and steel helmets can be stamped and formed at one time, otherwise, if these things want to be distributed, I really don't know how to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

Even so, only 2,000 elite troops were fully equipped, but with these 2,000 elite soldiers, Liang Pengfei thought it was enough, at least to deal with the Dutch in the port of Batakan who gathered in the south of Borneo, not to mention the cooperation of other Liang Jiajun brothers.

This is also the first time since Liang Pengfei arrived in this historical time and space, consuming so many resources and commanding so many troops to fight, although the war has not yet begun, but the strong smell of gunsmoke seems to have lingered on Liang Pengfei's nose.

Looking at these eyes full of trust and expectation, as well as their excited faces full of wrinkles and poverty, it is these hard-working people, with their calloused hands, and the backbone of the early camel to support the Chinese nation yesterday, today, and in the future, they silently dedicate their blood, sweat and even life to this nation, what can be exchanged for?

In exchange for the arrogance of the officials, the whipping and shouting of the officials, in exchange for the literati covering their noses and leaving, or with a kind of condescending gaze and condescending sigh.

Shengdou Xiaomin, I don't know which noble scholar or literati invented and created, so that countless so-called smart people and officials as classic titles are often in their circles, in order to separate them from these people, the most common name on the lips.

It was these people in front of Liang Pengfei.

Taking a deep breath of tropical air, Liang Pengfei felt that his chest was heating up and hot. "My lord, Mr. Luo asks us to go to East Wanjin City together......"

What should I do, or what should I say first, to express my feelings at the moment. "My lord, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I want to say a few words, everyone, all fathers, all compatriots, I have a few words to say to you!" Liang Pengfei's voice rose higher and higher, so high that it pierced people's hearts.

Suddenly, the people, the people of Lanfang Company, his subordinates, and the soldiers who were ready to go all quieted down at this moment, and looked at Liang Pengfei, whose face was flushed with a hint of doubt and dismay, as if he had drunk strong wine.

"Your Excellency...... Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Liang wants to give us a lecture, please don't make a noise! Luo Fangbo didn't expect Liang Pengfei to be like this suddenly, seeing that Liang Pengfei's current mental state didn't seem to be stable, Luo Fangbo didn't want to break Liang Pengfei's face, so he simply helped.

Liang Pengfei looked left and right, walked to a pile of wooden boxes placed on the dock, and strode to the top of the box, so that he could see more strange but familiar faces.

"Fathers, you may be seeing me for the first time, and I am the same, but I think there are some things I have to tell you today, I, Liang Pengfei and you are the same kind of person, with the same black eyes and scalp, yellow skin, and bright red blood, we all speak the same language, use the same language, why is this? Because our roots are in the homeland of China, I call you my compatriots, my fathers, and ......."

On the wharf, only the sound of the river gently lapping the shore and the wharf, and the faint echo of Liang Pengfei's deep voice diffuse, everyone looked at Liang Pengfei's body, face, regardless of whether they stood close or far, whether they could see clearly, after hearing this, they felt that this stranger who was suddenly so strange, with a sense of intimacy, a sense of closeness, made people willing to believe him, and they also hoped to hear more.

"The culture of our Chinese nation has been inherited for 5,000 years, and for 5,000 years, whether it is the invasion of foreign races or the replacement of dynasties, it has never been broken, and it is because our ancestors are struggling to live, and we are still alive......"

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

“…… What do those people think of us? Are animals fattened to be slaughtered? Or a low-class people who can be humiliated at will, when we wore fancy clothes and knew how to behave, those people, those people, were still drinking blood in the caves or in the wasteland, but now, they rode on our heads and asked us to be cattle and horses......"

Wheezing, thousands of people, more than 10,000 heavy panting people, all of them clenched their fists tightly, Liang Pengfei did not use the elegant words used by those literati, he only used the most simple and innocent language in his heart to tell all this. So, they all listened and understood.

Whether it was men, women, or children, their breathing became heavy, whether it was out of fear or anger, it didn't matter, but at least it proved that they weren't insensitive, they weren't insensitive.

"Now, the Dutch, who have raised their butcher's knives against you, who have annihilated our sisters and our brothers, are now going to take possession of your homeland and drive you out of this homeland which you have worked so hard to carve out. I want to ask you, are you willing to give up everything here in such a humiliating way? Liang Pengfei roared loudly, raised his arms high, and waved them fiercely, like a baton of a talent reader, stirring the volcanoes that had been suppressed for a long time and were ready to erupt!

"I don't want to!" Someone was shouting, it was Jiang Wubo, the boss whose status in Lanfang Company was second only to Luo Fangbo, although he was already middle-aged, but the blood in his heart was always hot.

"No, why should we be willing?!" Luo Fangbo's hair was all open, like an angry dragon trapped in the shallows in chains, Liang Pengfei's words aroused the resentment and unwillingness in his heart, as well as those large and small shareholders of Lanfang Company, as well as those people, how could they be willing to do this?

The decaying Qing Dynasty left them with no way to live in their hometown, in order to survive, drifted to a foreign land, worked hard, pioneered, and hoped to create a happy and peaceful homeland, but all this will fall into the greedy hands of those Western colonizers, who would be willing?!

Liang Pengfei looked at the excited and bloodshot faces, whether they were old or young, or immature, they still had blood in their bones.

"Those invaders who dare to usurp our wealth, the fruits of our labor, and our homeland, whether they are Dutch, English, or other peoples, we should, and must let them know, that we must defend our things with the weapons in our hands, our blood, and even our lives, and let those colonizers, those moths and beasts who have no morality or shame, recognize the reality that we are not muddy, let alone animals that can be bullied and slaughtered at will, we are human beings. We are Chinese, standing tall in the sky, extending thousands of years of civilization, and establishing countless Chinese nations that have made all countries come to congratulate! ”
