Chapter 40: Miracles? God's will!

Early 1856, Santa Fe.

A team of people, in tattered clothes, their hair was also scattered, their eyes were even more numb and dull, there were some blood stains on their bodies, and the most important thing was that their hands were tied by a thick rope, and then they were tied to a high platform.

"Bastard!"

"Hang them!"

"Hang! Hanged! ”

The people under this stage shouted loudly, their faces were full of excited expressions of watching the show, it was really embarrassing, it turned out that in this era, watching others being hanged is really a very popular thing, and it is simply an entertainment project suitable for men, women and children.

Whether it is in the Qing Dynasty or in the United States, whether it is in San Francisco in the west or Santa Fe in the Midwest, it is the same, but it is a matter of many people and few people.

That's right, this scene appeared in Santa Fe, and there were many, many people who were going to be hanged this time, and the gallows, it seems, were not so many, only three ropes.

"Ladies! Gentlemen! The man in a tuxedo with a top hat and bow tie appeared, and he read it with a piece of paper, "These individuals are guilty of vandalism of property, homicide, theft...... They had previously killed more than a dozen overseers at the San Juan Hill Silver Mine and stole ore from the mines...... Now, they will be hanged! Citizens of Santa Fe, let's witness together! ”

Then, in groups of three, the ropes are set, and the executioners move the machine, and then the planks under the feet of the condemned prisoners are empty, and they will immediately kick their legs, and their tongues will be spitted out, and they will be ......

"Oooo

"Hahaha!"

Judging from the cheers of the crowd, it really looks like an entertainment project, and if the Chinese workers are lucky enough to watch it, they will definitely be surprised to find that this seems to be similar to the scene of killing heads in their hometown.

Even in the United States more than 100 years later, although the death penalty has become more elegant, that is, by injection, this process will still be televised.

It can be seen that this is a means to maintain rights at a relatively low cost, and it is easy to use!

"Gentlemen! What can we do now? Although some losses have been recovered, there are still a few important people who have not been caught, and I heard that they have silver ore of higher purity on their bodies! ”

"Come on! What's the use of finding those silver ores? We simply couldn't find enough workers, and those bastards ran away! ”

"That's right, this money is too little to re-operate our silver mines."

"It's all Brady's bastard! What the fuck, why didn't you catch this guy? ”

"Listen to the confessions of those Irishmen, and there's a bastard named Eastwood!"

"No, no, it doesn't look like that guy took any silver ore."

"The word of the Irish may not be credible!"

The conversation was in a hotel across the gallows, and it was none other than the mine owners, but there was no young Leland Stanford among them.

"So what do we do?" Clearly, these mine owners, the shareholders, are looking at future plans.

"It's very simple, we declare bankruptcy and then sell this silver mine and pay off the debt."

"yes, it's not a big deal."

"Well, as long as we don't lose anything, that's fine."

"That's it."

"Yes!"

Bankrupt, why don't these shareholders seem to be shaken?

But that's not all, just listen to what they continue to talk about.

"May God bless Stanford."

"He's a good guy."

"Hahaha...... I really want to see what that Stanford guy would look like when he got to San Francisco and then couldn't get the money. ”

"Shhhh Hahaha......"

What exactly is this talking about?

In fact, because of the bankruptcy law, the United States now has a bankruptcy law, which is completely inherited from the United Kingdom, so, in fact, although the silver mine has to be liquidated, the repayment liability is only 'limited', so these shareholders will not only have no loss, but will benefit.

Don't forget that they also borrowed a sum of money before, and this money was used to buy Chinese workers, which is naturally included in the cost in the accounts, but don't forget, Chinese workers have to go to San Francisco to buy them, this is Leland Stanford's proposal, then.

The money in this year is also in dollars, which is not so easy to move, so you have to go through a bank transfer, although the bank in this year is not very reliable, but you have no other way.

And now, Leland Stanford is still on the way, and at this time he declares bankruptcy, so there are a lot of things that can be operated in the accounts, for example, to give the bank some benefits, just say that the Stanford guy has taken the money, the money has been used, and then these shareholders will divide the money, which is just one of the tricks!

Leland Stanford naturally wouldn't know that he was being calculated at this time, but even if the business failed, then he could go to his father to borrow it, his father was not only a farmer, but also built railroads, so this crisis was nothing.

But at this time, some people's crises are more severe......

U.S. troops suddenly appeared in front of Li Mengyang's international column, and they were all stupid, because these U.S. troops could be equated with death, whether they rushed over and destroyed this team, or captured them and went back to hang them, it was the same!

So, what to do?

There is no way, they are all scared silly, even if Li Mengyang gave up at this moment, but it didn't come to pass, an amazing scene happened!

"Hah, huh!"

"Damn it, don't stop!"

β€œSHIT! I can't help it! ”

These American soldiers came quickly because of horseback riding, but the central plains of the United States are also undulating, and Li Mengyang and they were facing a small hill, and the American cavalry rushed up suddenly, and a group of strangely dressed guys appeared out of thin air.

Who are they? Why did it suddenly appear? Why are you dressed so weirdly? Have we strayed into some mysterious cult ritual? Are they witches?

Not to mention the American cavalry, all the American troops at this time were Puritans, and they were very religious. But in front of me, I am afraid, then it is easy to have an accident, and now it is melting after the snow, and there is water and mud on the ground, which is slippery!

I couldn't stop it, the first few American cavalrymen fell, and the back ones were like dominoes, and many people who neighed fell their horses!

Actually fell off the horse?!

"God's will!" These were Matthew's words, and he thought it was a miracle!

Li Mengyang saw it in his eyes, he really didn't understand how these American soldiers could be like this, it was because he couldn't understand the psychological state of the Puritans...... At this time, Li Mengyang didn't know that Americans have always believed in gods and ghosts, even after more than 100 years, science is so prosperous, and this is also the country with the largest number of people in the world who believe that there are 'angels'......

"Stand up! Organize the formation! ”

"Get the fuck up for me!"

"Get in line! Get lined up! ”

These American soldiers were still good, they wanted to organize and fight immediately after falling from their horses, but it's a pity that those Indians didn't give them time to form a team!

Woo la la! Woo la la!

Poof, poof, aaa, bang!

The cries of the Indians, the sound of sharp knives and axes touching flesh, the shouts, screams, and of course the sporadic gunfire, all intertwined and shook the international column of Chinese workers and Irishmen. They all forgot about the danger and just stood there watching, and to be honest, they were also a little overwhelmed because they didn't know which one they were!

yes, didn't the U.S. military come to arrest itself? It doesn't seem like it now, but it's not guaranteed.

And what about the Indians? Who would think they're cute? How is this possible?

And the most shocking thing was actually Li Mengyang, because this was the first time in his life that he had seen a real battle in his two lives!

Although he had seen the battle between the striking workers and the overseers when he was in the silver mine before, the battle was too unseemly, too chaotic, irregular, and there was really nothing to be desired, and now, this is really a regular army, an American army, and his opponents are still Indians, although the Indians' weapons are relatively primitive, but their Su zhì can definitely be called warriors.

One group of people had horses, the other group had confusion before, and the two sides were not an order of magnitude at all, so, the result speaks for itself, the Indians had a big victory, oh well, the number of American troops was not very large, only thirty knights.

Woo la la! Whining!

The international column was very close to the place where the American army fell from the horse, so the Indians immediately killed it, it should be said that they had already had someone riding over just now, but the Indian saw that these people were stupid, so he was embarrassed to do it, and turned his horse's head back to kill the American army, and now ......

"You, what, people?!"

"Answer!"

Although they remained attacking, the Indians did not attack immediately, but asked first, what was the ......

Li Mengyang immediately figured it out, because the clothes they were wearing now were the kind of cloak with hats made of canvas for setting up tents, and this thing was put on people, and it was indeed a little difficult for people to see who you were.

And the most important thing is that Li Mengyang heard a familiar voice.

"Sleepy man! It's me, Li Mengyang! Clinton Eastwood! ”

"What?!"

Don't say it, it's really the Indian called the Sleepy Man, but now he has paint on his face, that is, colored paint, so Li Mengyang didn't see it at first.

"Really, yes, you?"

"Of course!"

Li Mengyang took off the hat of the cloak, but ......

"It's different! You, braids? ”

Well, this sleepy man is quite attentive.

"It's more artistic......" Li Mengyang, this guy didn't forget to joke in such a situation.

"What, yes, art?"

Hey~ People don't have this humor cell at all......

This relationship is good, Li Mengyang knows the Indians over there, and both sides still don't have a good impression of the US military, so it is naturally a hit and it off.

"God bears witness! I really didn't expect that with you, even the Indians could do it! Matthew let out a long breath, to be honest, he was almost scared to pee just now, he really wanted to pee, he was also a white man, so the Indians even killed the American army, will they let him go?

As a result, the Irish were probably going to die, but now, because of a Chinese worker, they were saved.

"It's just a coincidence." Li Mengyang did not take credit.

"I really feel like I'm doing the right thing right now, and that's following you, you're really great!"

In fact, not only Matthew said this, but even the eyes of the Irish people looking at Li Mengyang have changed a little, that is a kind of reverence, gratitude, but still a little contemptible.

To put it bluntly, it's very complicated, because Li Mengyang is also a Chinese worker no matter how he says it, but this Chinese worker is really powerful!

"Clint! Where are you, yes, going? "Of course, sleepy people and their old friends, who are also fighting opponents, have to have a good chat.

"This matter is not important, can you answer me, why do you want to kill these American soldiers?" Li Mengyang asked this question wisely, because it is really important!
