The news that the three brothers and sisters of Qiangzi's family were secretly picked up by Australians spread far and wide, and some said that the Australians took a fancy to Qiangzi and his sister and wanted to buy them as child daughters-in-law, and then the owner of the family took his brothers and sisters away with them.
In short, various versions of the rumors are like why the Australians don't leave, flying all over the sky, no one knows whether it is true or not, but only Qian Bo knows that Qiangzi is going to be an Australian soldier, and he will eat food as a soldier, and beg the Australians to take his younger brothers and sisters away.
Although a good son is not a soldier, it is not a good errand to be a soldier to eat food, it is to take his life to Bo, not to mention whether there is a military salary, even if there is it, it may not be able to spend, in short, in the eyes of Chamber, although the Australian GIs seem to be beautiful, they are similar to those of the Ming Dynasty, because he observed that those GIs always wear military uniforms when they get off the ship, while those who are obviously senior officials are wearing obviously more beautiful clothes.
If Wang Tiehammer and a group of people knew that he had this kind of idea at this time, they would definitely be speechless, and the soldiers wore military uniforms just to deal with emergencies.
On the day Qiangzi came back to pick up his younger siblings, he went to Chamber's house to say goodbye, and when he came back, he also deliberately begged for a few pieces of what he thought was the most delicious thing in the world, butter bread for Chamber's family.
Uncle, you try this, this Australian hair cake is fragrant and sweet, and it is milky, I specially brought it to you. Seeing that Qiangzi was wearing clean clothes, his hair was also flattened. Qian Bo did not show a relieved expression because he brought him food, but with an angry face, his eyes blazing and looking at Qiangzi for a long time without saying anything.
"Qiangzi, how can you shave your hair, how can your parents easily cut it short. You're unfilial. ”
"Uncle, I know, but the Australians say that long hair hides dirt and dirt, and if you want to be a soldier, you have to get a haircut, otherwise if you don't accept us, if you don't accept us, the second baby and the third girl won't be able to go to Australia, and there will be no food." Qiangzi looked embarrassed, obviously when he was asked to shave his hair, he also went through a deep ideological struggle, and finally chose a haircut for the sake of food for his younger brothers and sisters.
When Qian Bo heard this, he was silent for a long time, but said in his heart that Qiangzi's baby is a good child, and he just hopes to have a way to live in Australia. Eventually, he took the bread, put it in his mouth and took a bite of it.
"Well, sweet, fragrant, such a good thing as a strong son, you still take it on the road to eat, the second baby and the third girl have also eaten it, this uncle will accept it, you take these back." Chambers shoved the other bread back into Hadron's hands from the new.
"Uncle, you take it, if it weren't for your care in the past few years, my second baby and Sanya would have starved to death, uncle, I heard that the Australian official said that they are very short of people to work there, you and your aunt and Huahua will go with us."
Qiangzi's persuasion did not impress Chamber, after all, this Australian country is far away, no one knows if it can really live a good life there, and Chambers has not yet reached the point where he can't eat, so he refused Qiangzi's invitation, just warned him that when he goes to Australia to be a soldier in the future, he should pay attention, don't rush forward, save his life.
Although this kind of instruction is not good, it reflects the love of an elder for a younger generation.
Originally, this time the Hailan came out, and there was no task of recruiting immigrants, just to teach the Zheng family a lesson, and then find a way to sign a treaty with local officials in Xin'an County to enclose Hong Kong Island and establish a military base, which is also to prepare for future interference in the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty.
However, after the incident of the strong son, a group of military officials and government officials on the Hailan decided after deliberation that there was still a plan to take away some of the displaced people, as long as they wanted to go to Australia with them, they would take them away if there was no problem after review, but they would not recruit them on the surface, so as not to go too far and attract the attention of the Ming court.
Regarding Australia's behavior, the local officials in Quanzhou and the Zheng family all took a silent attitude, and no one broke the story, as if this incident had not happened.
In short, Zheng Zhilong also specially instructed the local officials in Quanzhou to turn a blind eye to it, the benefits are indispensable to you, hello everyone, if you insist on going your own way, don't care about my old Zheng not being emotional.
As a result, there is an extremely strange phenomenon in the surrounding areas of Quanzhou City, some villages that can't eat keep running to the docks, following the Australians, and the yacha patrolling the streets will not ask if they find out, and even deliberately roll their eyes and leave.
This strange phenomenon continued for several days, until the Australians' boat was no longer docking, and the city officials would ask where they were when they saw the wandering homeless. However, this is also because the Australians have instructed that they are not going to recruit people, and the government dares to take care of it, otherwise who knows if these Australian elders will suddenly release a few shots.
The bottom bilge of the Sea Blue and the warehouse on the second floor where supplies were stored were already full of more than 2,000 men, women and children, all of whom had secretly run to the dock to wait for the Australians to be brought back after hearing about the deeds of the Hadron these days.
In their eyes, when they arrive in Australia, they are going to live a good life, they have land to plant, a house to live in, and the court also raises children.
In fact, many people just heard some rumors, and even got on the boat without deep thought, and didn't think about whether they would be deceived at all, but maybe in the eyes of these Ming people who can't eat, it doesn't matter if they cheat or not, as long as they can eat a full meal, they will be content.
From the day I got on the ship, this food is so full that everyone is full, except that the place where I live is a little crowded, everything is not bad in this group of immigrants, and even I feel extremely lucky for my wise decision, sometimes I will laugh at those guys who didn't come from time to time when I sleep in my dreams, it's really no blessing, this Australian big fat cake Those cowards may not have eaten it in their lives, that's called a fragrant.
Now that the whole ship is full of people, and the grievances between the Zheng family and the Zheng family have been successfully resolved, there is really no need for the Hailan to stay here, and it was originally planned to take this opportunity to establish a military base and commercial port in the Hong Kong area of Xin'an County in the future, but because of the temporary recruitment of more than 2,000 displaced people, it had to be changed, and returned directly after filling up coal in Macau.
As the whistle of the Sea Blue sounded, white smoke came out of the chimney, and the huge body started to move, Zheng Zhilong and others standing on the shore finally breathed a sigh of relief, he can say that he loves and hates Australians.
What he loves is that Australian goods can bring him a good income, and what he hates is that the Australian boss is too domineering. As the Hailan became more and more blurred in his line of sight, Zheng Zhilong glanced at it, and the shopkeeper Xia beside him ordered: "I can reply to Miss Zhuo today."
