"Recently, a lot of people have been coming to Manhattan, and I've checked that it's basically deserters from the British colonies, as well as ordinary people." , Wang Shan reported to Zhao Hongyu what had happened here in Manhattan during this period of time.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu felt incredible.

"No, we're enemies. What are their deserters and refugees doing when they come to us? It's just unreasonable, it's incomprehensible. ”

Yes, Zhao Hongyu really can't figure it out.

It stands to reason that their Song Empire is now going to war against the British colonies, so the Song Empire is the enemy of the British colonies and even Britain.

These refugees and deserters from the British colonies, they can go anywhere, but how did they end up in Manhattan?

It's like Germany and France are at war, and the French can flee to England or Spain, but they never flee to Germany.

But the facts made Zhao Hongyu feel that his view of the world had been subverted, and these people from the British colonies fled to their own 'enemy' city.

I really can't figure it out, I can't figure it out.

Looking at His Royal Highness's puzzled expression, Wang Shan smiled and explained, "There's nothing I can't figure out, Your Highness. There is no way for these refugees to go anywhere else, but where else can they go? Going to Central America? It's a little far away, and the Spanish colony isn't good, and it's dangerous. So, only here is the best place to go. ”

"Our city of Manhattan has a large population, many job opportunities, and an abundance of various goods and goods, which is much better than in Central America. And I asked those refugees, and their idea was very simple, the Song Empire would go to war with their colonies, and it had nothing to do with them. That's the military and the officials, they just want to find something to eat. ”

"As for those deserters...... Wang Shan paused at this point. Zhao Hongyu hurriedly asked, "What do those deserters say, what do they mean?" ”

Only then did Wang Shan say: "The meaning of those deserters is also very simple, you can give your life to anyone. But it is worthless to work for those people in the British colonies. ”

Immediately, Wang Shan told Zhao Hongyu about the corruption of the British colony's internal management staff and the abuse of the law in the army.

After listening to Wang Shan's account, Zhao Hongyu learned about the things in the British colony.

"It's unexpected. The British colonies had degenerated to such a point. Since they treated soldiers and ordinary people like this, it is not difficult to imagine that they were abandoned by everyone at such a juncture. ”

Wang Shan nodded: "Yes, plant melons and get melons, plant beans and get beans." If you have the cause of your own fruit, then you must taste the fruit. They used to oppress the people and squeeze their wealth, and who would come forward to help them at a time like this? Although everyone is British, the British people's sense of national identity in this era is not so strong. ”

Zhao Hongyu thought for a while and said, "In that case, let's open up the highlights." All these refugees have been accepted. Anyway, there is still a big labor shortage here, and they can solve the problem of labor shortage here. But one thing we need to be aware of is that I'm afraid that there will be people with bad intentions here, so these refugees need to be very careful. ”

Wang Shan nodded. Answered.

Subsequently, Zhao Hongyu seemed to have thought of something, so he asked Wang Shandao: "I heard that the tax officer of the British colony." In our city of Manhattan, do the British who work here always ask us to collect taxes? ”

This matter was also heard by Zhao Hongyu from others, and he himself did not confirm this matter.

After all. That sounds a little hilarious.

In his own city, there are other people who come to collect taxes.

Although the target is those foreign workers, this is also a very nonsense thing.

This is like the embassy of the United States in the future, which wants to collect taxes from all the Chinese in Mi, which is a very unreliable thing.

In this regard, Zhao Hongyu felt ridiculous and angry at the same time.

Hearing this, Wang Shan nodded: "There is such a thing." ”

"What do they mean by these damn bastards?" After getting the confirmation, Zhao Hongyu was really angry. "Collecting taxes in my city, even though it's aimed at the British, is nothing."

Wang Shan could see that His Royal Highness really hated this matter.

Of course, he also knew what his Highness hated.

"Your Highness, in fact, the intelligence department has already grasped this matter. And the Ministry of Intelligence also added fuel to the fire, in short, the British did a bit brainless about this. ”

"Fueling the fire, for what?" , Zhao Hongyu was very curious after listening to Wang Shan's words.

Wang Shan smiled and said, "It's very simple, the British have done such a brainless thing, what do those people think?" It is not easy for them to make money, although we have a lot of work here, but it is also people's hard money. There is no truth in this tax, how can those people not hate it. ”

Zhao Hongyu's eyes rolled and he understood what Wang Shan meant.

"You bad guy, the current situation is probably the result of collecting taxes." , Zhao Hongyu looked at Wang Shandao with a smile.

Wang Shan also smiled evilly and replied, "Yes, isn't there a bad result now?" But it was planted by the British themselves, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

Zhao Hongyu snorted twice and said: "I really can't figure it out, they will do such a brainless thing, this is simply forcing the people to the opposite side of themselves." As a result, the British general public must have a very bad impression of the colonial authorities. ”

Actually, the impression is not only bad, it's almost as bad as Mars.

It is precisely because of this that when Manhattan attacked the two British colonies, a large number of people began to break away from the two colonies and came to Manhattan one after another.

At the same time, the soldiers and the population did not respond at all to the official call.

This is the root of everything.

"Let's rehearse a few plays based on this, Europeans like to watch plays, and I've heard that the theaters in the city are always full. With this medium, we can add fuel to the fire, can't we? ”

Zhao Hongyu proposed.

When Wang Shan heard this, the smile on his face was even more.

"Ha Luha, Your Highness, let's think of a piece. But I've already arranged for this, and I've done a few shows of this kind of play, and the response has been very good. Wang Shan said to Zhao Hongyu.

Hearing Wang Shan say this, Zhao Hongyu became interested.

"Oh, has there been such a drama going on? I don't even know what it's called. ”

"The World of Suffering"

Wang Shan said the name of the most popular drama during this period and the most popular among European laborers.

When Manhattan saw it last year, it built a theater.

Originally, this was an entertainment place for Zhao Hongyu and them to spend time, but they didn't think that people didn't like to watch it very much, and the Indians were not interested.

However, it attracted the love of many Europeans who worked in Manhattan.

The rich plot, the wonderful performances, the catchy witty lines, and the thought-provoking connotations have captured the hearts of Europeans at once.

And the repertoire performed in the theater is usually based on real events, so it can resonate with everyone.

Therefore, those Europeans who worked in Manhattan would come to the theater to watch the play after dinner in the evening.

The drama "Faith" performed earlier was a play to discredit the church.

But because of the reality of the events and the wonderful performances of the actors, all Europeans were recognized for a while.

The impact it brings is not to be underestimated.

At that time, it happened to be the outbreak of the priesthood incident in Manhattan, so through the means of drama, Manhattan stood on the moral high ground.

Most of these Europeans living in Manhattan have dealt with the church.

Therefore, the things shown in the drama are absolutely true.

It's just that such a thing is absolutely not allowed to appear or perform anywhere in Europe. It's in Manhattan that everyone can see.

Greedy priests, insidious and despicable landlords, poor commoners.

All of this makes the audience have a deep sense of involvement.

With the protagonist, everyone experienced the joys, sorrows and sorrows little by little.

Add to that my own experience in Europe, and everything becomes more real.

Although it is a little different from the original intention, it has even changed too much.

However, through this carrier, it is not an advanced means to brainwash everyone.

Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan both know very well that brainwashing is not an easy job.

Today's Manhattan theater is now equivalent to the CCDV show of later generations.

"I'm going to set aside a piece of wasteland to house the refugees. After all, whether there are some of these people with a purpose, we don't know for the time being. So it's very unwise to let them stay with other people. At the same time, the influx of refugees will also bring pressure and damage to the security of Manhattan. ”

Wang Shan changed the subject.

Zhao Hongyu nodded, and he was convinced of what Wang Shan said.

"Yes, you're right. Then you have to worry about this matter, if something really happens to these refugees, although we can suppress it, but after all, it is also a troublesome matter. ”

Zhao Hongyu handed over the problem of these refugees to Wang Shan to deal with.

After Wang Shan answered, he said to Zhao Hongyu: "Don't worry, I am going to gather the refugees and distribute some winter items." At the same time, they were brainwashed, and there was also a 'grievance' campaign. With our means, I think we can easily identify those with ulterior motives and grasp their thoughts at the same time. ”

In this regard, Wang Shan is very confident. (To be continued.) )
