Section 8 Turning the Clouds
Three days after Dasuo, Zhu Fangsheng was still nowhere to be seen, but the prison was overcrowded. In the past three days, American soldiers have captured too many Han Chinese, Japanese, and Native Hawaiians. At first, I was angry and didn't care. It wasn't until three days later that I really felt the consequences of my anger.
First of all, there are piles of garbage on the whole island, and the smell is stinking. The docks have also stopped functioning, and some of the usual street vendors have disappeared. Even the traffic on the island is much worse than before, many white people travel, they can't even find a carriage, so they can only walk to work, and when they arrive at the company, they find that the door cannot be opened because there is no gatekeeper. In the past, these businesses on Hawaii Island were done by hard-working yellow-skinned people, but now almost all of the people who do this work are in prison.
And then it was the big farmers who complained. You know, the Han and the Japanese are really the best hired workers, the wages are low, but the work is beautiful and down-to-earth, this time there are a lot of peasant workers who were caught indiscriminately, this time, the work on the farm is delayed. Delaying work means hearing less of the sound of silver flowing in from white flowers. This made those big farmers very dissatisfied.
The last to complain was the American soldiers who carried out the capture. Most of these soldiers have been living in Hawaii for two or three years, at least for a year. They have long been accustomed to the food delivered by Hongzi Restaurant every day. The provision of three meals for the U.S. military was originally decided by the Hawaiian ruler Sanford Dole five years ago when the Hongzi Restaurant opened. In the past few years, whether it is a recruit or a veteran, a private or a general, they are all satisfied with the food in Hongzi Restaurant, and they have already eaten smoothly. Even some officers, just for the food in this Hongzi restaurant, refused the opportunity to be promoted. In the past three days, I have been hot-headed, and I have long forgotten about these, and the first two days were just the food for the army that Hongzi Restaurant used to make. Now, the soldiers have calmed down, but they find that the Hongzi Restaurant has closed its doors - but no one knows if the people in the restaurant have been arrested, because there are too many Han people arrested.
All the whites are complaining, whether it's the one who issues the order or the one who executes it. So, the order was reissued, because it was impossible to distinguish who was making trouble and who was not making trouble, so all the Han people were put back again.
When you are imprisoned, it is right; When it comes to releasing you, it's still right. And you will be even more grateful to Dade, because you believe that the authorities have the courage to correct their mistakes and will continue to improve them—this is what George R. Carter of the Hawaiian colonial government learned from his people who had been to the Qing Dynasty. So, he was happy to be this person who was grateful.
Sure enough, as soon as those yellow-skinned people were released, no one went home, but went straight to their posts. Although in a hurry, no one forgot to bow and bow in the direction of the colonial government. Standing on the balcony of the tall colonial government building, Carter saw this kind of scene, and felt that his action was incomparably great.
Soon, Hawaii was back to its former vigor and beauty, with fresh air and scenery. Soon, Hongzi Restaurant also reopened. More than a dozen chefs were busy in the kitchen for more than half an hour, and the food delivered to the American military camp was loaded on several trucks and transported quickly.
It all looked familiar, as if there had never been such a storm of anger. All of them are repeating their roles.
Zhang Yuanji was still standing at the window on the second floor of Hongzi Restaurant, looking at the people rushing around in front of him. He really couldn't imagine that his people were so good at forgetting, good at yielding, and good at reluctance, could this be the nation that used to be righteous and generous and chivalrous in the Spring and Autumn Festival? I really can't figure it out, how can Zhu Qiu turn the clouds and rain before today's sunset, so that the sky in Hawaii changes and changes hands in an instant? Because everything seems so harmonious and natural.
But soon, something unnatural happened.
First, there were quarrels and screams in the American barracks, and from time to time there were a few angry roars. But only for a short moment. I didn't even have time to finish a cigarette. Then, more than a dozen yellow plumes of smoke rose from the barracks, and all of them blew towards Pearl Harbor.
As the smoke rose, Zhang Yuanji suddenly found that the ordinary and orderly Hawaii just now had erupted like a surging dark tide. Immediately afterwards, someone responded: "Dead Guo Bei!" Then there was the roar of countless people: "Wild death is not buried, and nothing can be eaten!" ”
"Zhancheng South!
Dead Guo Bei!
Wild death is not buried, but it is edible.
water depth agitation,
Pu Wei is silent.
The horseman died in battle,
The horses wandered and chirped.
Towards the line of attack,
Never sleep! ”
The roar grew louder and louder, like a rolling storm, like a gathering snowball, and shook the island of Hawaii on the calm Pacific Ocean.
There will never be a Han person who is willing to be obedient to the people, willing to spend even a minute and a second under the charity of others!
With the roar, this Hawaiian island is full of passionate faces, brave figures everywhere, still thousands of streams, but not a big river, not a big river, it is a surging angry wave. As soon as the angry waves rolled up, they rushed straight towards the colonial government.
Governor Carter, who was standing on the balcony, was already pale at this time, and the people of his tribe who had been cursing in his mouth really hoped to call him over and take a good look, where did these Orientals look like a servile and deep-seeded people?
Fortunately, in these days, in order to prevent possible riots at any time, American troops are stationed on various islands, and in front of the government building, there are even more heavy troops. At this time, we can only believe that the invincible American army will still be invincible.
"I heard that you have been looking for me for the past three days?" A voice suddenly rang out behind Carter.
Carter was startled, turned around, and saw that it was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, wearing ordinary Qing costumes, the difference, but it did not have the signature big braids of the Qing people.
He must be Zhu Fangsheng. Carter doesn't need to think a second time.
"You, you, why are you here?"
"I've always been here, and I've been here for the past three days. You're weird, aren't you? You think you Americans are the rulers of this Hawaii, right? But you don't even know that your worst enemy is hiding in a government building. You Americans, you don't know this island, you don't know the people who live here.
I now formally inform you that you, the colonists from the United States, will repeat the fate of the British 131 years ago. The Hawaiian Islands will be free and renewed! ”
Carter woke up from the shock, heard Zhu Qiu's words, looked at the serious teenager in front of him, and couldn't help laughing: "You oriental boy, do you know? The United States has never lost an international war. Even if you could occupy this island, how many soldiers, how many warships, would you be able to defeat the United States of America? ”
Zhu Qiu looked at him as if he was looking at a pig, shook his head, sighed again, and said, "You won't understand." Because you only have power in your eyes, you never know that there are other means besides power, and you can also achieve the goal. Hehe, what am I talking to a fool like you about? Lay down your arms, I don't want to do anything to you. ”
Being so despised by a minor of an inferior race in his own eyes, Carter was annoyed for a while, pulled out the * on his waist, pointed at Zhu Qiu angrily, and scolded: "You yellow pig, I can shoot you right now!" ”
Zhu Qiu waved his hand, and a white light jumped out of his hand, and in just a flash, the revolver in Carter's hand was cut into two pieces, and the fragments fell to the ground with a clang, as if they were smashed on Carter's heart. All of a sudden, Carter stayed there.
Zhu Qiu looked at him, stopped talking, and walked to the edge of the balcony. Look at the fighting clansmen in the distance.
On Oahu, the battle was drawing to a close, and this time the angry people were no longer using cold weapons like bayonets and daggers, but rifles like American soldiers. To the astonishment of the American soldiers, these Orientals, who had the impression of using cold weapons, were no worse at all with muskets, and some of them, even more skilled than them, hit their guns, and they all hit their arms or legs, without the slightest kind of fire like the roar just now.
Fighting was not only taking place on this Oahu, but on every island in Hawaii, wherever there were American soldiers, fierce battles were taking place. Maui is no exception.
On Maui, the American soldiers were led by the American lieutenant who led the resistance in front of the government building three days ago.
This American lieutenant was named Henry Lee, and his ancestor was the famous General Robert Lee during the Civil War. Henry inherited the military style of the family honor above all else, brave, witty, and tenacious.
When he heard the roar on Oahu, he knew that the famous Carter family gentleman had done another stupid thing at this moment. But he did not panic, this time, he had 300 soldiers in his hands, and he believed that with these 300 well-trained American warriors, he could quell any riot.
As soon as the gunshots rang out on Oahu, he led his team to the docks in a hurry and without losing caution.
Maui was originally the island with the largest number of Han people, and Zhu Fangsheng's ranch and residence were on this island. However, after three days of large-scale raids, the place has become sparsely populated, the houses are dilapidated, and it is very depressed and lonely.
Henry Lee and the team hurried along, and the magnificent scenery of the past seemed to them to be just an ordinary roadside scenery. No one has time to appreciate it, yes, war always makes people forget beautiful things, but instead deeply hate and kill.
Without saying a word, Henry and his soldiers arrived at the dock without a hitch, and the speedboat they came from was still tied to the shore. The waves gently lapped against the boat, and everything was so calm.
As soon as Henry waved his hand, all the soldiers rushed to the boat, and the gunfire on Oahu had gradually begun to go out, and Henry wanted to go back immediately to know the result.
The soldiers were running on the white sand, stepping on a long line of imprints, when suddenly, one of the soldiers leaned over, followed by a slump to the ground, motionless. Passing soldiers reached out to pull him, only to find that he was no longer breathing.
"Enemy attack!" The soldier shouted.
With this shout, I saw countless wooden signs on the beach, front and back, left and right, and even among the soldiers, there were countless wooden signs, lifting a curtain of white sand and rushing towards everyone.
The white sand covered the sight of the American soldiers like rain, and some of the soldiers pulled the trigger in fear, but most of them hit their own people, and when they heard the screams of their comrades, the soldiers who could not see the situation clearly were even more frightened, and more began to shoot around. At this moment, Henry's shout was heard in the sand rain: "Hold on! hold on! don′t fire! Clam Down...... "Henry's prestige among the soldiers has always been very high, and hearing his voice, all the soldiers gradually calmed down.
How long can the sand rain last, but it will be clear in a while. Just when the sand and rain were about to stop, the beach was densely packed, and hundreds of figures rose up in front and back, left and right, and at once these soldiers were surrounded in the middle, each holding a sharp weapon, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and began a bloody killing.
Henry had already suffered the loss of this dagger and broken spear, but there was still no way to deal with it at this time. The opponent was outnumbered and premeditated, hand-to-hand combat on this beach, his own soldiers were unable to move, and they were not the opponents of those Oriental people at all, and Henry was extremely painful to see his soldiers fall one by one. He was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth, and shouted at those Orientals who were as fast as the wind in a stiff Qingguo dialect: "Don't fight anymore, we surrender!" ”
After saying that, he threw the rifle in his hand on the ground, closed his eyes, and two lines of hot tears rolled down.
