009 attacks the plantation
After Lin Fei finished speaking, he pointed to the woods on the side with his hand, and the four of them hid in, and after a short time, they heard a sound in the woods, and just now the two people walked out of the woods carrying the corpse again, Lin Fei took out the boning knife found from the whaling ship from his waist, put it in his mouth, raised his legs, walked lightly, and came to the road where the two of them must pass.
The corpse carried by the two people was very heavy, so the two of them gasped for breath, and they didn't notice that Lin Fei was lying in ambush in front of them, Lin Fei waited for the two of them to pass by, let go of the person in front, and then jumped up suddenly, and smashed a fist on the neck of the person behind, and the person behind fell to the ground without saying a word.
The man in front was stunned, and was about to shout, Lin Fei pounced, took the boning knife from his mouth with his right hand, pressed it on the man's neck, and covered the man's mouth with his left hand.
Lin Fei made a gesture in the direction of Niu Dalong and Niu Dahu, and the two rushed out, pulled the unconscious guy into the woods, and stuffed the rags prepared in advance into his mouth, Lin Fei also dragged the captured man into the woods, and slowly let go of the hand that did not let him make a sound, and the man actually whispered in Chinese: "Hero, spare your life!" ”
Lin Fei was stunned and asked, "Are you Chinese?" ”
The man nodded again and again, and said in a trembling voice: "My ancestors lived in Guangdong. ”
Lin Fei asked, "Then what are you doing on this island?" ”
The man said, "I am a merchant from Luzon and have come to this island to do business. ”
Lin Fei asked, "Doing business?" What business is there to do on this island? ”
The man said, "Sugar and liquor business." ”
Lin Fei wondered in his heart, how could there be any sugar and wine on this small island? So he asked, "What sugar and liquor business?" ”
The man said: "There is a Spanish sugar cane plantation on the south side of this island, and the plantation has its own sugar factory that makes sugar from sugar cane, and a small winery that specializes in making rum from sugar cane. ”
Lin Fei put down the knife and said lightly: "You don't need to call me a hero." Then he asked, "What are you carrying the corpses for?" ”
When the man heard this, he burst into tears and said, "Good man, I didn't kill those people, they were all good deeds done by the Spaniards." ”
Lin Fei said lightly: "I didn't say that you killed the person, you don't have to be afraid." I ask you, who are those corpses? Why did the Spaniards kill them? ”
The man said, "They are all natives who have been taken out of the mountains of Luzon to work for this plantation. Those natives, doing the work of the cattle, eating what the cattle do not eat, and the life could not be lived, so they thought of rebellion, but the Spaniards had guns, and the natives did not revolt, so the Spaniards killed the natives, and they were killed for a day. ”
Lin Fei frowned and said angrily: "Nonsense! How many natives can there be? How can you kill a day? ”
The man hurriedly said, "They are hiding everywhere! At this time, the sugar cane on the island was so tall that it was difficult for people to hide in it, and the Spaniards killed them while looking for them, so they killed them for a day. ”
Lin Fei asked, "Then what are you and your companions mixing with?" Why help them transport the bodies? ”
The man smiled and said, "The little ones want to earn a few more money to subsidize the family, and the Spaniards said that they would pay five pesos to transport a corpse, but they thought the corpse of the natives was unlucky and did not want to move." ”
Lin Fei nodded, and the man begged: "Good man, let us go back, we haven't done anything bad, we just transported a few corpses, in fact, think about it, we are also doing good deeds, we can't look at those natives in the wilderness......"
Lin Fei glared at him and whispered, "Shut up", the man stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, not daring to make a sound. Lin Fei stared at the ground, didn't say a word, and thought: "The sugar factory, the winery, and the gun are all things I want, take a look from this person's mouth and see if I can take these away?" Lin Fei stretched out his hand and pulled the man closer and asked, "What's your name?" What about your companions? ”
The man said, "I have three names, one in Spanish, one in Filipino, and one in Chinese. ”
Lin Fei frowned and said, "Of course I'm asking for a Chinese name!" ”
The man hurriedly said: "My surname is Chen, my name is 'Jin Gui', and the person you knocked down is my son, whose name is 'Chen Fu'." ”
Lin Fei nodded and said, "Chen Jingui, you listen to me, I'll ask you a question next, and then answer me if you think about it, if it's a little worse, I'll kill you alive!" Do you hear that? ”
Chen Jingui trembled with fright, nodded again and again, and Lin Fei asked, "Is there a telephone or telegraph line connecting this plantation with the outside world?" ”
Chen Jingui shook his head and said, "No! ”
Lin Fei forced him to ask, "Do you dare to guarantee it?" ”
Chen Jingui nodded again and again, and said: "We have to come by boat in person to discuss business with the plantation, unlike doing business with big traders in Manila, there is a telegraph, and it is good to press the button for a while." ”
Lin Fei asked, "Then how long does it take for a boat to travel between this island and Luzon?" ”
Chen Jingui replied: "Three months." ”
Lin Fei asked, "How much sugar can this plantation produce in a month?" How many natives are left on the plantation? How many Spanish guards are there? Who were the guards, were they Spanish soldiers? What kind of guns did they use? ”
Chen Jingui replied one by one: "About one ton of sugar a month, there are more than 300 natives left, Spanish guards, more than 100, all Spanish gangsters, hired by plantation owners, not Spanish soldiers at all, but the leader is a retired Spanish officer, or a colonel, quite powerful." I don't know what kind of gun it is. ”
Lin Fei said: "Then tell me if there is anything special about that kind of gun?" ”
Chen Jingui thought for a while and said: "That kind of gun is very special when it is loaded with bullets, they hold a kind of clamp with bullets on it, put the clip inside the gun, and with a hand stroke, all the bullets will enter the gun, and then pull the gun to shoot once." ”
Lin Fei's heart moved, and he thought: "This is the Mauser M1893 repeating rifle, a good thing!" Lin Fei nodded and said, "I know, I want to ask you for a favor, are you willing?" ”
Chen Jingui hurriedly said: "I am willing to be willing, it is my blessing to help the heroes, how can I be unwilling?" ”
Lin Fei said, "Okay, you can come with me." ”
Chen Jingui hurriedly said: "No, good man, if I go back with you, the corpse will not be able to be moved on time, and if the body is not moved on time, you will be fined!" ”
Lin Fei smiled and said, "If you don't come with me, I'll punish you now!" ”
Chen Jingui agreed with a sad face, and followed Lin Fei back to the north beach, where Lin Fei took the father and son back to the Pangu whaling ship and asked them to watch them. When Liu Daming saw Lin Fei coming back, he smiled heartily: "You guys are back, brothers still think that you have been eaten by the monsters on the island!" ”
Lin Fei smiled and said, "I really found a monster on the island, you call all the brothers over, let's have a meeting on the main deck, I have something extremely important to tell you." ”
Liu Daming then went to call the brothers, and when the crowd gathered on the deck, Lin Fei said: "Brothers, after we reconnoitred, we found that there is a sugarcane plantation on this island, with a sugar factory, a winery, more than 200 natives, and more than 100 Spanish guards, these natives were abused by the Spaniards, so they rose up to rebel, and the Spaniards suppressed it, and the gunshots we heard today were sent by the Spaniards killing the natives. ”
"Brothers, we need people, money, guns, and bullets to fight the world, but look at us now, there are some people, but there is no money or guns, I learned from the mouth of the captives that the Spanish guards on this island are equipped with Mauser M1893 rifles, and there are a hundred of them per person, which is enough for us, so I decided: take out the Spanish guards on the plantation and take this plantation."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Li understood that at this time he said: "Lin Shangguan, you just said that these guards are all Spaniards, if we kill them, then the Philippine team of Spaniards can let us go?" ”
Lin Fei said with a smile: "I have already found out, this island is isolated from the outside world, there is no telephone, telegram, and the ships only travel once every three months, if we kill these people, no one will know in a short time." ”
Li said clearly: "But the Spaniards on the island have guns!" We only have machetes and harpoons on our whaling ships, how can we beat them? ”
Lin Fei smiled and said, "I thought of a plan, everyone should have heard the saying: 'The fortress is easiest to attack from the inside'. ”
As soon as these words came out, I saw that everyone was at a loss, and Lin Fei thought that this sentence was said by Lenin, Lenin was only fourteen years old this year, how could he say such a thing! I accidentally brought this sentence out.
Lin Fei hurriedly changed his words and said, "The Spaniards' guards are not easy to break, but if we go directly into their interior, wouldn't it be much easier?" ”
The confusion on everyone's faces became even more, and Lin Fei said: "Let's do this, tomorrow we will disguise ourselves as Filipino businessmen, enter their plantations, and then do this...... Do you understand? ”
Everyone nodded, only Li Ming shook his head and said, "How can you pretend to be a Filipino businessman?" I heard that Filipinos look different from us Chinese, don't Spaniards see it at a glance? ”
Lin Fei said with a smile: "We can say that we are 'Mistizo', the so-called 'Mistizo' is a mixture of Chinese and indigenous Filipinos, there are many such people in the Philippines, and they look very similar to the Chinese, and the Spanish guards will not care." ”
Li understood and asked, "But why do the Spaniards believe that we are merchants?" ”
