Since the Zheng family hoisted the white flag and surrendered, and signed the Quanzhou Treaty with Australia, although the sea blue did not moor in the dock, but it has been drifting in the open sea not far from the dock and has never left, and the muzzle of the Hesse Sen on the ship has always been facing the shore.
Although the two sides signed a friendly treaty, it does not mean that the Australian old man will not suddenly turn back, Zheng Zhilong is also very distressed about this, the Australian old man neither enters Hong Kong nor leaves, and he is not good to ask, if he asks, maybe he will annoy others.
Don't say that Zheng Zhilong is distressed, even the people of Quanzhou City are also distressed, for fear that when the mountain-like giant ship sails into the dock, the soldiers on it will fight all the way into the city.
So these days, the people of Quanzhou City are also reminding them to live a fearful life, and the rich officials and gods can also go directly to the houses in the countryside to live, but the ordinary people in the city only have one house, and there is no place to shelter from the wind and rain when they leave.
For this reason, the message inevitably began to spread in the city, what Australians are ready to leave, waiting for the arrival of domestic warships, as long as they arrive, they will be killed ashore immediately,
What else are these Australians who are descendants of the former Song Dynasty, who have been living overseas for a hundred years, and are now here to restore their homeland.
"Chamber, I heard that this Australian country is full of gold, and the people there eat meat every day, do you think it's true?" A boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, who was squatting next to a man selling pears, asked.
In recent days, the city has not only spread bad news that Australia is not leaving, but also some good news, such as the young man's mouth, gold everywhere, everyone in Australia has land and a house, and the court also cares about marrying daughters-in-law and raising children, etc.
This kind of thing seems to be a fantasy, no one has proved it true or false, but everyone looks at the GIs who came down from the Australian giant ship, but they are very rich, they buy things when they see them, never bargain, and sometimes even spend a lot of money to buy a worthless gadget.
So in the eyes of Quanzhou merchants and hawkers, Australians have a reputation as rich and stunned, but these Australians don't seem to care, and they are still rich and willful. What should be bought, what should be bought, what should be spent.
Although this attitude seems a bit two-fold, the impact on those poor people is different, and the rumors in the market make them even more envious of the people of Australia.
So in addition to a fear in the community, there is another group that is struggling with how to get to Australia.
"Qiangzi, since you asked, my uncle will tell you, your brother and sister, your father and mother left early, if you can go to Australia, it must be good, there is food to eat, and a house to live, it must be much better than you herding cattle for the king in the village, but you have to inquire clearly, don't be deceived." Qian Bo, who sells pears, said earnestly. Then he took out a pear from the basket and stuffed it into the hand of the boy named Qiangzi.
"Uncle, I don't want it, you sell it for money, I'll go and inquire, if it's true, I'll take my younger brothers and sisters to invest in Australia, and if I make a fortune in the future, I will definitely come back to repay you." When Qiangzi said this, he definitely didn't mean to say that this Qian Bo had no relatives and no reason for him, but he was in the same village, but he often helped his three brothers and sisters, so he was forced to respect him. After Qiangzi finished speaking, he stuffed the pears back into Chamber's basket and ran towards the docks.
Qian Bo shook his head and looked at the strong son who ran away, "God, give this hard-working child a way to live." ”
Qiangzi said that he was going to inquire, but he didn't know where the Australians lived, and it was impossible for him to jump off the sea and swim under the Sea Blue, he was also clever, and he knew that the soldiers on the Australian giant ship took turns to come down several groups of people every day, and as long as they stayed at the dock, they could see the Australians.
Sure enough, after guarding for an hour, I finally didn't wait in vain, only to see a few men who were obviously dressed differently from the Ming people walking towards the dock with a smile, and as soon as the people walked in, they immediately knelt on the ground, and said to a few Australian soldiers, begging the military master to give a way to live.
Qiangzi spoke Hokkien, and there were no people in the soldiers who did not understand it, and they wanted to walk towards the boat that came to pick him up, but the child kept kneeling and followed, so he had to help him up and gesture with his hand.
Qiangzi was overjoyed, knowing that the other party was asking him to follow, and nodded fiercely.
got into the dinghy, and the navy guy who came to pick him up looked at Qiangzi a little strangely, "Why do you still bring a child back." ”
"The kid picked up at the dock insisted on following us, and he couldn't understand what he said, so he brought it back to find someone he could understand." A soldier replied.
Qiangzi sat in a dinghy, followed a few soldiers on the boat, and was first taken to the dining room to bring him some food, and ate the soft and fluffy bread in a bite, and the white cream in it flowed from his mouth, this was the first time he had eaten such a delicious thing, and it also made him more sure that this Australia must be as the legend says.
I didn't wait long before I saw a young man in a white military uniform walking from the direction of the door.
Qiangzi hurriedly wiped a handful of cream from his mouth, stood up, and was about to kneel down to Wang Annian, the army chief of staff who came over, but was stopped by him.
Wang Annian pointed to the bread on the plate and asked with a smile, "Is it delicious?" Because it is Hokkien, Qiangzi can understand and reply in Hokkien.
"It's delicious," and nodded vigorously.
"Well, sit down and talk, you kneel and let them bring you, is there anything wrong, if there is, I will try to help you."
Qiangzi was stunned, and then replied, "I want to be a soldier to eat food, I want to go to Australia, and ask the military master to accept me and my younger brothers and sisters." ”
"Well, if you want to be a soldier, then what are your brothers and sisters going to do?" Wang Annian looked at the young man with a little interest, so he asked deliberately.
Younger brothers and sisters, Qiangzi didn't expect that both of them were still young, the younger brother was only twelve years old, and the younger sister was only nine years old, but thinking that he could go to Australia, he immediately said, "You can wash clothes for the military masters, boil water and cook, just ask for a bite to eat." ”
"Hehe, you young man, I like it, you really want to be a soldier, Wang Annian asked certainly: Then you have to immigrate to Australia and become an Australian national, you also have to learn our Australian Chinese, otherwise you can't be a soldier, not when you are so, and your younger brothers and sisters are the same, are you willing."
"Well, yes, yes, as long as there is something to eat, yes," Hahnson replied.
"Okay, you stay on the boat, tell me where your family lives, and I'll send someone to fetch your brother and sister." Wang Annian said with a smile, and after getting the address, he walked towards Liu Yun's room.
Looking at the address given to him, Liu Yun smiled after listening to the process, just leave this matter to me, I didn't expect someone to find it by myself so soon, and I will find out the details of these people. You can rest assured.
"Well, then I'll leave this matter to you, but in the past, this strong man is favored by our army, so don't rob it." Wang Annian suddenly thought of Liu Yun's deeds of digging corners in the past, so he deliberately explained.
Liu Yun smiled when he heard this, and promised not to dig into the wall. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
