If they stay in the mine, they will definitely face death.
The Brazilians will never sit back and watch the Chinese workers "riot", and they will definitely send troops to suppress it.
Then what?
Against the military?
Relying on more than a thousand Chinese workers?
Zhu Xianhai is not that confident, at least not yet.
Judging from the cruel lessons of several simulations, if you want to survive, in the final analysis, there are only four words - hold on tight and don't waver!
adventure!
Sometimes it really costs you your life!
"My current idea is to take them away by boat. I found out that there is a big river near the mine. The big boat can go upstream and get on the boat. It only takes a day to reach the sea and then leave..."
Elizabeth took a sip of wine and said with a smile.
"Then, what you are worried about must be that after arriving at sea, you actually have another option to enter the rain forest. In fact, many escaped slaves in Brazil have escaped into the rain forest, but this is definitely not the best option.
, the Brazilian rainforest is a man-eating monster, and after many people enter, they may never come out again.”
I know it without you having to tell me.
In Zhu Xianhai's choice, there is no option of rainforest at all. Tropical rainforest? Without quinine and no medicine, people will die.
He didn't want to try to die in the rainforest.
That’s why I have a headache!
"So, the question is, if you don't go to the rainforest, where will you go when you get to the sea? Come to Argentina? Your arrival will definitely cause a series of diplomatic incidents. In the end, our ruling Excellency will definitely refuse your entry. That's why
It's you who's worried, right?"
Pursing his lips, Zhu Xianhai nodded helplessly.
"Yeah, that's why I have a little headache!"
If there are only a dozen or twenty people, or even a hundred and eighty people, he can bring them into Argentina, and then what?
It's nothing more than buying a manor to settle them.
But there are more than a thousand people, which is a lot. What is the population of Argentina now? About 1.8 million people. What about the city of Buenos Aires? It has a population of only about 100,000 people.
too difficult!
"Actually, you don't have to worry at all!"
Blinking her beautiful eyes, Elizabeth approached him and said softly:
"Let's go to the study room with me."
She stood up and smiled charmingly at Zhu Xianhai.
"What, are you afraid to go upstairs with me?"
Fear?
What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that you will eat me?
…
In the end, nothing happened that night. But amid the excited cheers, Zhu Xianhai hugged Elizabeth for the first time and held her in the air several times.
Nothing else, just excitement.
In fact, Zhu Xianhai was even busier in the following days. He had to prepare for the upcoming expedition.
expedition!
The mine is in Brazil!
He has to go to the dock to find a suitable ship. Of course, the ship must not only be big enough, but more importantly, it must have a captain. It must ensure that the captain will not betray them, as this is related to their lives.
It's not difficult to find a boat in Buenos Aires.
After all, this is the New World, and all kinds of ships come here every day loaded with cargo or immigrants, and these ships have different nationalities.
Some are British, some are French, and of course the most popular ones are the United States.
After all, this is America.
In fact, South American countries had the opportunity to develop their own shipping industries. However, the turbulence of the political situation and the short-sightedness of politicians and military officers have caused their shipping industries to be dominated by other countries. In particular, the merchant ships of the United States are based on the first-come-first-served basis.
advantages on all routes in South America.
The "Alice" is one such American merchant ship. It is an old ship that has sailed through all the oceans of the world. Although it looks dilapidated due to years of exposure to wind and sun, it is still a steam-powered merchant ship.
.
The hull and bow of the ship were all mottled. It was an old ship, fifteen years old. In the past fifteen years, he had sailed to many places, but he had never returned to the United States.
Why haven't you returned to the United States?
This is exactly why Zhu Xianhai chose this ship.
The captain of the "Alice" is called Luke. He used to be the first mate of another ship. He became the captain of this ship fifteen years ago. Of course, he is also the shareholder of this ship.
But a few years ago, he did a "stupid thing" - he left Atlanta with a dozen escaped black slaves. Since then, he has become a wanted fugitive in several states.
He is a southerner, but that does not prevent him from being an abolitionist. This is why he did not return to the United States. This is also why Zhu Xianhai came to find him.
Arriving on the ship, Zhu Xianhai first took a look at the condition of the ship. What made him very satisfied was that there were six cannons on the ship. Merchant ships of this era had cannons used to stop pirates.
"Are you Mr. Steven?"
Luke looked at the Chinese man in front of him, and Zhu Xianhai was also looking at him. He was like an ordinary sailor, with swollen skin, wearing a yellowish dress, and the wrinkles on his face were thin and dense. He should have been at sea for a long time.
The result of the voyage.
"Yes."
"I can tell you for sure that I am not at all interested in what you are about to say!"
Luke said directly.
"There are many newer and bigger boats in Buenos Aires, but I will not sell the Annes,"
"Don't refuse in a hurry. You haven't listened to my conditions yet?"
Zhu Xianhai pulled up a chair and said.
"Actually, I don't want to buy your boat, your boat..."
This is a large ship of 1,500 tons, worth at least tens of thousands of pesos!
"Then you are, I heard someone say..."
"Listen to me first."
Zhu Xianhai interrupted him and said.
"I want you to go to Brazil with me."
"Go to Brazil? There are many boats going there, right?"
"None of them are suitable."
Zhu Xianhai said directly.
"Well, do you know anything about slaves in Brazil?"
"slave?"
Luke said in surprise.
"Yes, slaves, I'm going to pick up some slaves. You know, they can't leave the place legally, so..."
"Damn it? Don't mention any bullshit slave to me! Do you still think I haven't suffered in this regard? God can testify that I am a kind person, but what price did I pay? Fifteen years! You
Do you know that I haven't been back to Atlanta in fifteen years? Do you know that my wife has been waiting for me? My daughter will be getting married soon, but, damn it, I'm stuck here! And as for slaves,
I'll split your legs!" Looking at the angry Luke, Zhu Xianhai said calmly:
"Five thousand pesos!"
The angry Luke was stunned. After a moment, with his smile, Zhu Xianhai got off the boat as he wished.
"This is the real power of money!"
Zhu Xianhai couldn't help but sigh.
Batman told him a truth-money ability is the real superpower!
