On November 10, 1781, the cold air from the Arctic Ocean gave the North American continent a white coat, and the cold weather made people either hide in warm homes or in hot bars. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Twelve kilometers east of Richmond, Virginia, Wilson, a farmer in his 50s, is holding his four-year-old grandson and telling stories of his youth by the fireplace in his living room, where his son, daughter and daughter-in-law sit together.

Wilson's wife died of illness three years ago, and has three sons and a daughter, the eldest son Taylor is thirty years old, the second son Wright is twenty-five years old, the third son Bennathan is twenty-one years old, the youngest daughter Michelle is only sixteen years old, the second son Wright has just gotten married, his wife is a famous beauty in the neighborhood, the youngest daughter Michelle is also very beautiful, there are many suitors, Wilson has a large area of land under his name, and there are more than 100 black slaves working for him, in addition to the early death of his wife, Wilson's family is very happy in his opinion。

"Bang!"

Don, Wilson's black butler, suddenly barged in, but he had a panicked look on his face, which was usually very plain.

Tang has been following Wilson for more than twenty years, Wilson knows very well the character of his housekeeper, if it weren't for something big happening, he would never be so flustered, so Wilson put down his grandson in his arms and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Eng...... British troops, a lot of British troops came from the farm. ”

Wilson's face sank, and his three sons stood up nervously, and his youngest daughter and two daughters-in-law hugged each other in fear.

Wilson looked out the window to see that a neat formation of British soldiers in red uniforms and carrying rifles had surrounded his home, and several officers on tall horses were walking towards his home.

The eldest son, Taylor, is more impulsive and is also a major officer in the Continental Army, this time he came back from vacation, otherwise he would have followed Washington to Kentucky in the west, and after seeing so many British troops, he subconsciously picked up the rifle hanging on the wall and began to load.

Wilson grabbed Taylor's hand and whispered, "What do you want to do, if you don't want everyone to die with you, put the gun down for me!"

At this time, Taylor realized that he was now at home, surrounded by his relatives rather than comrades-in-arms, if it wasn't for his father to stop it in time, the consequences would be unimaginable, and his back was wet with cold sweat when he thought that his family had been killed by the hateful British army because of him.

Wilson put the rifle back on the wall and instructed the family, "The women take Hahn upstairs, and we'll take care of it here." ”

Wilson's youngest daughter and two daughters-in-law ran up to the second floor with his little grandson, the British army was not very friendly to the residents of the colony, and it was common for them to be unable to control the things in their crotch, and some things happened more frequently than in India in later generations, so women, especially beautiful women, would mostly hide when they saw the British army, except for prostitutes in the leather business.

"Bang!"

The door was violently pushed open, and a group of British soldiers broke in with the wind and snow, making the warm room feel the cold of winter, and Wilson glanced at his three sons, and they kept their calm.

Several British officers walked in, and Wilson, who had served in the British Army as a young man, swept the ranks of these officers, took two steps forward and asked the colonel who was the leader, "Mr. Colonel, may I ask you something?"

The Colonel, who was the leader, was very haughty, he first glanced at Wilson with contempt, and then he made his way around his house with his hands behind his back, as if he were the master of the place, Wilson was angry but his face was very calm, and stood in the living room with his son waiting for the colonel's inspection to be completed.

The British colonel briefly inspected Wilson's house, Wilson's home was a two-story new house, with more than a dozen rooms, the colonel seemed to be more satisfied with Wilson's home, and nodded while looking at it, and when he returned to the living room, he said to Wilson: "I have requisitioned this house of yours in the name of the Emperor, and you should pack up and move out immediately." ”

Wilson clenched his fists and tried not to let himself attack, and the situation forced him to nod in humiliation, but as he took his son, daughter, daughter-in-law, and grandson, and was about to leave his house with his things, the colonel said again, "Women stay." ”

Now Wilson's eldest son Taylor couldn't bear it anymore, he regarded his wife as a treasure, and because of his hatred for the British army, now when he heard that the colonel actually asked his wife to stay, all kinds of restrictive pictures automatically appeared in his brain, so he wanted to fight with the British colonel as soon as his brain was hot and dropped something, but he was immediately knocked to the ground by the uniforms of the British soldiers around him.

Taylor's third brother, Bannarson, tried to help, but was also knocked down by the British soldiers with the butts of their guns, and the others did not dare to move under the threat of the British soldiers' bayonets.

"Mr. Colonel, please let my husband go, I am willing to serve you!"

Taylor's wife was also good-looking, and she did not hesitate to sell her body for the sake of her husband, but unfortunately the Wilson family was wrong, and the colonel said in surprise: "Why are you serving me? ”

Speaking of Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, as soon as the colonel's words fell, a young female voice sounded on the side.

"Corbett, what's going on here? Didn't I tell you to treat Your Majesty's people well?"

Ouyang Yu threw the reins to the female soldier and walked into the house, and the colonel named Colbert hurriedly saluted. "Your Excellency, General. ”

Ouyang Yu returned the salute and ordered the soldiers who were holding Taylor and Bannathan, "Let them go." ”

Taylor and Bannathan were let go, but instead of getting up from the ground, they looked at Ouyang Yu stupidly, and Wilson and his family had the same expression.

Colbert immediately introduced: "This is Her Majesty's cousin, a member of the royal family, the commander of the 23rd Brigade of the Expeditionary Force, Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine, with the rank of brigadier general, and the Your Excellency the General I am talking about is Princess Catherine, and I asked the three of them to stay just to let them serve Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"There are a lot of female soldiers around me who don't need their services. Ouyang Yu turned to Wilson and said: "I'm sorry that I had to requisition your house, you can rest assured that we won't stay here for long, and we will leave when we capture Richmond, and we will pay you a rent when we leave." ”

Before Wilson could speak, Taylor, who was lying on the ground, got up and said first: "Your Excellency the General is too polite, it is an honor for me and my family that you can use my family's house, and my wife and they are also very happy to serve you, please don't be polite, the food they cook is still very good." ”

"This ...... Well, let them stay. It was difficult for people to be gracious, but Ouyang Yu relented for a while and agreed.

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness. ”

Walking out of his house with his father and younger brother, a poisonous plan rose in Taylor's heart, the reason why he let his wife, brother-in-law and sister stay by Ouyang Yu's side was to borrow their hands and kill the emperor's lackey. (To be continued.) )
