Chapter Eighty-Five: The City of Cowards

In fact, the most important thing is not the region, but the people, as long as people are industrious and capable, the desert can be turned into a forest, and Saihanba is the best example.

Speaking of deserts, I have to admit that some people are so awesome that they can surprise you anytime and anywhere, before the Saihanba group became famous, everyone's understanding of land desertification was "irreversible", that is, once the land was desertified, it was impossible to restore its original state.

The people of Saihanba slapped the faces of those experts with their actions, and the desertification of the land is indeed "irreversible" for the experts in their offices, but for those who insist on perseverance, the faces of experts are used to beat, and the people of Saihanba use their actions to tell the world that "fighting the heavens and the earth" is really not just a slogan.

In fact, Roque is also very good at shouting slogans, the key is that the slogans shouted by Roque and the pies drawn are gradually becoming a reality-

That's very convincing!

"In fact, there are a lot of farms in the suburbs of Cape Town, many farms used to be Boers, the British are not interested in farms, only gold and diamonds can arouse the interest of the British, after the outbreak of the Boer War, many Boers in Cape Town went to the Transvaal Republic and the Orange Free State to join the Boer coalition army, and the British, these people's families were imprisoned in refugee camps, their farms were in an abandoned state, and now it is a good opportunity to start, many Boers in the refugee camps must be very willing to turn abandoned farms into money, Make your life a little better. "Roque is on his way to Stellenbosch, which was a scenic area in the 21st century and is now a refugee camp for the Boers, and Rahul was sent to Stellenbosch.

Many people may not know that Stellenbosch means "cowards who have been transferred from important positions", and the British threw those soldiers who did not perform well on the battlefield to Stellenbosch for reflection, so Stellenbosch is also known as the "city of cowards".

In the 21st century, Stellenbosch is famous for wine, the vineyards here are hundreds of years old, and it was first a group of French people who came here and crossed the ocean to the Cape, and the Dutch colonists at that time allowed them to choose a no-man's land to live in, so they came to Stellenbosch, which was not called "Stellenbosch" at that time, because it was surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the middle valley was an open sandy land, much like their French hometown of Provence, so they built this town.

Although the indigenous people of Stellenbosch were once French, they were now considered Boers by the Cape colonial government, so Stellenbosch became a Boer refugee camp after the outbreak of the war.

The name of the city of cowards is indeed very unpleasant, so Stellenbosch also has a name called "City of Oaks", the French planted vineyards at the same time, but also planted a large number of oak trees, they began to use oak trees as the boundary of the vineyard, and then oak trees gradually became the unique scenery of Stellenbosch, Roque and Anton they traveled all the way, the road was also planted with oak trees, the Cape in March was in autumn, the oak leaves have begun to turn red, the oak trees here can grow to 30 meters high, it looks like a torch from afar, Countless torches come together, and it is truly beautiful.

"It's all good land, it's a waste." In Anton's simple values, he did not understand why the Boers did not grow grain, but grapes in such a good land.

It is indeed good, but it is indeed a waste, because the Boers were imprisoned in refugee camps, many vineyards were in an abandoned state, the ripe grapes hung heavily on the branches and no one picked them, and some of the grapes had fallen off naturally, rotting and stinking, and mosquitoes and flies were flying.

In some of the vineyards, there were also people working, all dressed as Boer women, and they were surrounded by uniformed policemen who Roque knew were Rahul's men.

"Bring Christian over another day and ask him to come forward to find the owners of the vineyards who are willing to transfer the vineyards, they are all Boers, and it should be easier to communicate." Roque came just to see the situation, if he bought it, Christian would have to come forward, and if Roque came forward, it is estimated that those Boers may not be willing to sell to Roque, after all, Roque does not want to be a villain.

If Roque wants to forcibly buy it by virtue of his identity as an inspector, then I believe that Roque can also buy it.

But Roque can't do that, the British are in power now, but sooner or later the Cape will be autonomous, and then the Cape will be Boers, so if he can, Roque still wants to have a good relationship with the Boers, which is more conducive to the survival of Chinese in the Cape.

As for the killing of Jobbel, this will not be a problem between the Chinese and the Boers, in times of war, anything can happen, everyone is their own master, and dying on the battlefield can only be said to be inferior to others, and there are also Chinese policemen who died in the war, and reasonable people will not pursue this.

As for those who are irrational, it doesn't matter, the British are very cold to the Boers, kill what should be killed, and all the crimes that are not punishable by death are exiled to India and Ceylon, after the war, it is difficult to say how many Boers will be left, Roque wants to have good relations with the Boers in the Cape, not with the Boers in the Transvaal, how can the Boers in the Transvaal hate Roque and have something to do with Roque?

Dead people don't speak.

"Head, over there—" Anton gestured to Roque.

Roque looked in the direction indicated by Anton, an Indian policeman wearing a large turban was dragging a Boer woman into the woods, the Boer woman was pleading and struggling, the Indian policeman was looking up to the sky and laughing, the Boer next to him was silent, and the surrounding policemen were blind-

"Your sister—" Roque clenched the whip in his hand, and the sun carried Roque away.

The current "Sun" is another thoroughbred, the previous "Sun" was requisitioned by the Expeditionary Force Command, although the current "Sun" is a pure black thoroughbred, but Roque still willfully calls it "Sun", the black sun is not nothing, Tengu eats the sun.

"Please don't do this, my child is here, and she can't see this, please—" The Boer woman begged bitterly, and almost sat on the ground, but she was still no match for the man's strength, and was pulled and staggered.

"Be honest and obedient, I'll give you an extra milk today, others want it, I won't give it yet-" The big turban looked up to the sky and laughed, and she was still a lactating woman-

The sun rushed to the side of the turban, and Roque raised his horsewhip and whipped it hard in the face of the turban's stunned face.

Treating this kind of person, Roque never spares his hand, and Roque can't wait for the sun to kick him to death.
