Chapter 179: The Chinese
Whether it is the bustling Shanghai Beach or the Manila where Zhao Tiehu is located at the moment, the existence of the poor is indispensable. Compared with the people in the slums of Shanghai, most of them are hardworking and simple, but the natives who stay in Manila are a bit of a bad people.
It is the nature of these natives to deceive the good and fear the evil, and laziness is also the reason for their displacement. The natives who occupied the manor this time are such people. Knowing that this is a manor with an owner, he always likes to fight the idea of the rich.
Originally, they had been notified by the administrative officer to move out of the estate as soon as possible. But these natives are still reluctant to be occupied by them. I feel that as long as they refuse to leave, I believe that the government will not be able to do anything about them.
After all, the law does not blame the public!
What's more, this manor was a piece of chicken ribs in the eyes of the Manila government earlier. But now, this piece of chicken ribs has been sold, and how to regain the manor is naturally Zhao Tiehu's business.
I learned that the wronged leader who bought the manor was a Chinese, and many natives who had dealt with the Chinese knew that the Chinese seemed to be easier to bully. In contrast, they were Manila natives, and the Chinese were outsiders.
It was the arrival of a large number of Chinese that caused many indigenous people to lose their jobs. After all, compared to the cheap and hard-working Chinese laborers, these natives always ask for high salaries while always procrastinating in their work.
Over time, the owners of the factories in Manila were reluctant to work with these natives. Because of this, many natives are a bit hateful to the Chinese. This is also the reason why, knowing that Zhao Tiehu is coming, they still don't leave.
It's just that what these natives didn't expect was that Zhao Tiehu, a Chinese, was a little different. For such Diao people, Zhao Tiehu's principle is to warn once, and if the warning is ineffective, then use sticks or bullets to educate.
As for the natives who dare to stab, then directly wipe them out. Zhao Tiehu wanted to see if these natives were a little more fierce, or if the wolf head of his wolf warrior was more fierce. Dare to occupy Zhao Tiehu's nest, isn't this Tai Sui's head breaking ground?
As soon as half an hour passed, Zhao Tiehu, who was drinking with Lawrence, shook his hand and said: "Big head, take someone in to see the situation, and if you don't leave, you will be beaten out with a stick." Those who dare to resist violently will be killed! ”
'Yes, young master! Come with me, you team! ’
After leading a group of people out of the convoy and running into the manor. Li Hao still carried two box cannons, which was also done to ensure safety. Who knows if these natives have a weapon or two in their hands?
The government officials who were afraid that Li Hao would kill him, although he wanted to persuade Zhao Tiehu, he didn't dare to say anything in the end. followed Li Hao into the manor, hoping to persuade those natives to leave as soon as possible, and not to go against these Chinese.
Judging from the previous situation of these Chinese guards who paid money at every turn, this group of Chinese is not easy to provoke. Even he doesn't need to talk to Zhao Tiehu yet, let alone these unemployed vagrants that the government already resents?
Moreover, these jobless vagrants could not stay in the city, so they finally ran to the outskirts of the city to survive. Even a lot of land bought by Zhao Tiehu was occupied by these unemployed vagrants, and they planted some food and food.
Now that Zhao Tiehu is stationed in the manor, the fields allocated to Zhao Tiehu by the government will be recovered by Zhao Tiehu. If the natives refuse to give it back, they are afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat.
The natives who were packing up their things and were about to leave the manor, looked at Li Hao and his party who walked into the manor with guns, and their expressions were a little unkind and they didn't dare to say anything casually. As long as the natives who are not stupid know that Li Hao is carrying a gun that will kill him.
Seeing that these natives were still looking at him with unkind eyes, Li Hao also said directly: "The young master said, half an hour has arrived, and those who still refuse to leave will be called out." If you dare to resist, you are allowed to use weapons! ”
'Yes, Team Lee!' ’
When the administrative officer who stayed on the side heard this, he immediately tightened his heart and said, "Captain Li, can you let me go up and talk about it." Your boss is going to live here in the future, and you've really offended these scoundrels, so I'm afraid it's not good, right? ”
'It's okay! As long as they have the guts to come, we have our own way to clean them up! Such a ruffian, he will be honest after cleaning up. Protect the Governor, and the others will do it! ’
On the way to Manila, Zhao Tiehu instilled in these team members that most of the Nanyang natives are lazy, but they like to bully Chinese immigrants. has been by Zhao Tiehu's side for many years, and Li Hao has undoubtedly become a Chinese like Zhao Tiehu.
Accompanied by the soldiers who walked into the manor with Li Hao, armed with sticks, they began to expel these natives who were reluctant to move out. Under the sticks, many natives were beaten and yelled, but they were reluctant to take what they had not moved from the manor.
After the translation of the administrative officer, Li Hao said directly: "Let them get out of the manor first, our young master is not interested in their things." If you want their stuff back, just let them wait outside the manor to pick it up! ”
With Li Hao's words, the natives who had been reluctant to move out before felt the taste of sticks, and they also felt powerless. This group of Chinese people can't be called ruthless, and the place where they hit is not fatal.
But every time the stick hits the part of the body, it will make people feel a pain in the heart. Even if there were natives who wanted to resist, but when they saw those who were with guns and stayed with the magistrates, these natives quickly dismissed the idea of resisting.
The natives who were shot dead at the gate of the manor before made these natives who were not stupid understand that these Chinese are not easy to bully. In addition, the other party is equipped with so many weapons, and if you really die with them, it is obviously an act of looking for death.
When Zhao Tiehu and Lawrence walked into the manor, they looked at the manor that had been built for a while, but it looked like a refugee camp inside. Zhao Tiehu's expression still looked a little dissatisfied.
seemed to see Zhao Tiehu's displeasure, and Lawrence could only say: "Chen, since you are also from San Francisco, then you should know that it is impossible to buy such a large estate for 100,000 US dollars."
In fact, the tenfold price of this estate should be worth it. The reason why no one was willing to buy it earlier was because the aborigines in the neighborhood were so annoying. But I'm sure you'll find a way to fix it.
If you move into this manor, you just need to spend some money to repair it. I believe that five or six hundred people are not a problem. Most importantly, the manor is well repaired and can be transformed into a war fortress. ”
'Lawrence, I have to say, it's a loss to make you the first mate, you should go into business. All right! Although the situation of this manor makes me feel a little disappointed. But as I said, I got a bit of a discount on the price.
It's just about dealing with those indigenous peoples, and I can promise that I won't take the initiative to attack them. But again, it's my territory, and no one has the right to interfere. These natives dare to mess around, and I do not rule out force to suppress them. ’
'Of course! You are a citizen of the United States of America, and our Governor and troops will stand for you. ’
For Lawrence, although he has not had much contact with Zhao Tiehu, Lawrence knows more or less that some ancient families in China are still very terrifying. Such people, if you can make friends, try to make friends.
Not to mention that there are already a large number of Chinese in the United States today, the current commercial exchanges between the United States and China alone have also created a lot of economic benefits for the United States. And Zhao Tiehu is undoubtedly a person with extreme energy in Huaxia.
The most important thing is that according to some information revealed by David, they know that Zhao Tiehu is a wealthy man with deep funds. Its deposits at Citibank alone are afraid that they have reached millions of dollars. This does not include Zhao Tiehu's deposits in British banks.
In addition, some foreigners who know the Chinese know that most Chinese people do not like to keep their money in the bank. Some precious gold and silver jewelry, they often like to hide at home or even take with them.
This means that Zhao Tiehu is a rich man. For wealthy Chinese with American citizenship, these American consuls and soldiers in the colonies will naturally be treated politely.
This is not friendly to the Chinese, but friendly to Zhao Tiehu, the money in the pocket of overseas Chinese. After all, no one is right with money!
Seeing the stench caused by the excretion of those natives in the manor, Zhao Tiehu was somewhat angry. But he knew that this situation was very common no matter where it was. Who is the manor, which was uninhabited earlier?
After thinking about it, he beckoned: "Big head, first set up a tent in the manor to rest for two days, and arrange other people to clean the manor inside and out." If you need to add anything, you can tell your wife when you go.
Also, send someone to the city and find some compatriots who can speak the indigenous language and ask them to act as interpreters. Of course, if you are willing to come to work in the manor, you can also take it over. Anyway, in the future, those fields alone need to be taken care of by many people. ”
'Yes, young master! ’
After saying these words, Zhao Tiehu said again: "Lawrence, introduce you to a business and make some pocket money, are you interested?" ”
'Of course! I don't think anyone will refuse the lure of the dollar! ’
‘OK! I'm sure you've seen the situation here. Next, I need to procure a large number of supplies to repair my estate. And it's a long way from the city, and the speed of these carriages, I think is too slow.
I know you have a good relationship with the Archons and the garrison, and I want to buy four wagons and two sedans from them. For the price, I want them to try to get a little cheaper. After all, if it's too expensive, I'll ask David to help with the purchase. ’
'Okay! Of course that's fine! ’
After chatting about the procurement of materials and the repair of the manor, Zhao Tiehu began to let the accompanying team members begin to unload the materials into the open space of the manor. It didn't take long for tents to be erected where the manor's lawn was located.
Watching these team members build military tents so skillfully, Lawrence also had a feeling that these Chinese who followed Zhao Tiehu were afraid that they all had military backgrounds. Plus those long and short wooden boxes, they should also be weapons and ammunition.
If Zhao Tiehu lives in this manor, I believe that the surrounding natives should not have a good time in the future. After all, he could see that Zhao Tiehu was not a benevolent Chinese, on the contrary, Zhao Tiehu didn't seem to have a good impression of those natives!
