Chapter 34: The Wind Rises...... It's snowing......
(Ask for recommendations!) Ask for support! )
"Fellow citizens! I hope you will think about joining us in the strike action, because this action is to change everyone's working conditions......" Li Mengyang gathered all the Chinese workers in the mine, and he was making a final effort.
“…… I didn't want to say that, but I can't help but say it now. If you don't participate, the Irish will beat you to the point where you can't go to work......"
Li Mengyang finally said something cruel, to be honest, he really had no choice, and he didn't want to threaten these Chinese workers, because this is not his style, and he really regards Chinese workers as his compatriots, we are all the same skin color, use the same words, and have the same roots, especially in such a foreign country, where white people are so excluded......
But the bad nature of Huagong really made Li Mengyang hate. Mourning his misfortune and angering him, Li Mengyang really understands it now.
"Li Tou! We don't want to cause trouble, we just work quietly and steadily to earn so much money. If you don't work, you won't do it well, and we can do your share for you, it's nothing, but we don't want to strike, we still have wives and children to support...... Ladies and gentlemen, we are all hard-working people, so why bother with us? ……”
It was Zhou Dashan who spoke, he was the oldest Chinese worker in the mine, so he was the leader of those who did not participate in the strike, and now, what he said was particularly miserable and sympathetic.
Logically speaking, there is really nothing wrong with Chinese workers, they work hard, do all the work, and give them what they eat, but ......
"Brother Zhou!" But now, Li Mengyang really can't sympathize with him, "What we are doing now is for your good!" With the current treatment, even if you can earn wages, but how much money is that? How many cents? How long will your emaciated body last? How many more years can you mine? Don't talk about you, what about Xiaoshanzi? Do you let him mine when he grows up? Living a hard life like you? How many years do you think he can dig? ”
In fact, in general, Zhou Dashan's logic, that is, the logic of the Chinese workers, is a small peasant thinking, they are obedient, as long as the life can go on, then it will be fine, I will suffer any hardship, I will endure any crime, you don't care about me. To go deeper, I just don't want to progress, I don't want to move forward, I don't want to follow this era.
It doesn't sound like much, just hoping that I can live a life, how simple, but can we not follow this era?
If you don't make progress, you will regress, and then you will be swallowed up by the tide of the times, and the Qing Dynasty, and even the Ming Dynasty that made the 'piece of board can not enter the sea', is a vivid example, it is because of this kind of thinking, my Yang Tian Dynasty fell straight down from that peak, and my Chinese nation is like a sleeping lion, suffering humiliation in the next 100 years.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten!
This is all a big truth, Li Mengyang knows very well, the Chinese workers are not clear, their brains have been damaged by the feudal imperial power, numb, ignorant, their three views have been stereotyped.
"Xiaoshanzi has his own blessings, if it doesn't work, then it will take over my class to mine in the future, it's not bad, at least there is something to eat, right?" As he spoke, Zhou Dashan knelt down again.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
......Seeing this situation, Li Mengyang trembled, and he couldn't bear to smack him up and wake him up!
"What the fuck are you all doing?!" At this time, Jack and his men appeared, they could tolerate this completely undestructive strike, but they couldn't accept that all the people didn't work, so the Chinese workers were here to listen to the speech, so could it be done?
"It's all fucking for me to go back to work! Why are you still here? Fack-YOU! YOU-AND-YOU! Get lost! Hurry up and get to work! "While pointing at others with his fingers, he cursed and sweared.
A very violent, very rude abuse and pushing, but don't say it, the Chinese workers really went to work, they were really scolded, pushed, and even whipped to work!
"......" Li Mengyang saw this scene, he only felt that he was fooling a guy, if it wasn't for the strong support of Mai next to him, he might have fallen.
I'm here to talk and discuss, and I've said all the good things, but you didn't react at all. There's a lot of swearing, punching and kicking, and you still listen to people!
Li Mengyang is not a guy who easily admits defeat, even in the face of a desperate situation, he will not give up easily, just like the first pot of gold he dug in San Francisco, it was simply a chestnut in the fire, and he was indomitable to the Chinese workers, but now, ......
"Do whatever you want." Li Mengyang's heart was really cold, and he said this to Brady and them, not only the Irish, but Yang Guangren's eyes changed, as if he was eager to try.
"Hey! Mr. Eastwood! That Jack already had the upper hand, but he didn't want to let go of Li Mengyang, "I'm staring at you!" Wait and see! ”
Jack glared at Li Mengyang viciously, he already knew what was going on with this strike, so what about Li Mengyang's future days......
"Always with you!" Maybe Li Mengyang, a Chinese worker, can't deal with it, but he didn't flinch in the face of Jack!
Whining...... Whining......
At this time, all of a sudden, the wind started!
"Damn it! What's the mess? ”
"Get to work! Get to work! ”
The wind came suddenly, but the Chinese workers were not affected much, and walked into the mine again.
"Just tonight, gather the good people and ...... fiercely"
"Be quiet, don't let Jack's dog hear me!"
The striking workers are discussing, how to give the Chinese workers a little bit of power, of course, this matter must be kept secret, otherwise how can Jack's gang let you succeed?
Chinese workers have now become an important weight for both sides of this strike!
However, Li Mengyang at this time, he did not participate in it, not because he sympathized with the Chinese workers, but because he felt that this wind was very strange and quite strange, so he looked at the sky.
Not far away, there was a huge black cloud, because there was a mountain in front of him, and he couldn't see the whole picture clearly, but Li Mengyang's heart chuckled suddenly, because this black cloud was really too big, and it came too fast!
Whining...... Whining......
The wind suddenly rose, the black clouds pressed down, and the sun soon became invisible, and before long, the snowflakes mixed with some Xiaoice ballast, were blown by the strong wind, and it snowed!
The weather changes quickly and abnormally, it is simply not a little time to react, Li Mengyang, who looked at this qiē happening, was very worried in his heart, and it seemed that there was an ominous premonition lingering in his heart.
You must know that Li Mengyang came through time, although he is not an expert in meteorology, but he has also heard a lot of news, that is, this place in the United States, especially the Midwest where he is now, there are often abnormal weather here!
Blizzard, hail, tornado...... There are even related movies, these movies have become a category, called disaster movies, that is, even in the United States more than 100 years later, such strong strength, so strong technology, there is nothing to do about the weather in this region, so now?
Woowoo...... Whoop......
The snow began to fall in the afternoon, and in the evening it did not stop, but only got heavier and heavier. The protests had long since stopped, but the Chinese workers were still going to work normally, leaving work normally, and smoke was rising from the shacks.
The Chinese workers don't seem to care about this kind of weather at all, and they don't think it's a big deal.
Whoop...... Whoop...... This snow is not falling down, it is mixed with strong winds, Li Mengyang, a northeasterner, knows very well, this is called the north wind smoke and snow!
The large striking forces were temporarily disbanded, while several of the organizers met in Brady's shack, which was considered a relatively high-ranking one.
“DAMM! God helped them! ”
"Humph! When the snow stops, we'll clean them up then! ”
The Irish and the striking Chinese workers were all gearing up, but Li Mengyang really couldn't sit still.
"Don't you see the snow?"
"I see, but what's that?"
Li Mengyang asked several people, and they didn't seem to care about the heavy snow outside.
"What are you worried about, Mr. Eastwood? I've been in this place before, and the climate here is fine, even if there is snow, it's nothing spectacular, and you can't freeze to death. Matthew seems to have seen what Li Mengyang wanted to ask, but he didn't care.
"It's nothing of snow, is it? I heard from the old man in the mine that there is snow in this place, but it is not very cold, and it is estimated that although it is falling heavily now, it will stop soon. Yang Guangren also said, in fact, he has never seen snow.
However, Li Mengyang is different, he knows that snow is sometimes terrifying!
"Gentlemen! The snow outside, just this scene, do you really think there is no problem? ”
With a bang, Li Mengyang lifted the curtain of Brady's shack, but for such a moment, the howling wind was like the roar of a wild beast, carrying large snowflakes on a rampage, and the snowflakes that blew in hit everyone's faces, causing pain!
"So what do you say?" Although Brady is a rude person, he is not an idiot, and he is also a little flustered when he sees this situation.
Such a rapid blizzard, and now the miners' houses are just 'shacks', which is simply impossible to resist, and to keep out the cold, and need a lot of fuel, we are not a coal mine here, besides, there are not many resources left, this is not only food, but also fuel, so......
"Let's go to the mine, the same abandoned mine where we used to have meetings!"
Yes, this is the best way, people in the Northeast know that the temperature of the cellar is different from the outside, and the mine can withstand this snowstorm!
"Will this work?"
"Anyway, try it better than staying in the shack." Matthew affirmed Li Mengyang's idea.
"Then let's do it!" Brady was very wise at this time, and he also assigned tasks to others. "Tell everyone who strikes, go to that mine!"
"We need to prepare a lot of things, pickaxes, shovels......" Li Mengyang thought about what if the snow was too big and sealed the entrance to the cave, and after he finished speaking, he had to turn around and go out.
"Why are you going?" Matthew's behavior towards Li Mengyang is very strange, because notifying the strikers to go to the mine, this kind of thing shouldn't be your Li Mengyang's job, right? Look at Brady, that guy is very good at commanding people.
"Are you going back and getting your stuff? I'll just go. Mai Lili grabbed a step, and he is now almost Li Mengyang's horse boy.
"No, I'm going to inform the Chinese workers!" Li Mengyang said a word, he thinks it is a matter of course, because in his thoughts, this is a natural disaster, everyone should unite in order to tide over the difficulties, at this time there is no need to divide the strike, the Chinese workers, right?
So, Li Mengyang didn't feel that there was any problem, and he was about to walk out of this shack without looking back.
Bang!
Li Mengyang felt a pain in the back of his head, and before he lost consciousness, he heard Yang Guangren's voice.
