"I think I see what you're trying to say."

Zhang Heng nodded.

He had been trekking under the scorching sun for more than five hours, his body was weaker than usual, and until now he still didn't know where he was, and he didn't know where Lincoln County was.

But for now, it seems that his original plan is going to fail.

Historians have repeatedly emphasized the devastating devastation of the Indians caused by this vigorous westward expansion, which in just 100 years was slaughtered (only during the westward expansion) and the rest were forcibly relocated to reservations, although few mention of the Chinese sacrifice in the process.

After the Civil War, the United States abolished the black slavery system, and at the same time, the westward movement opened up wasteland, especially the laying of railroads and required a large amount of cheap labor, so the merchants finally turned their attention to Southeast Asia, at that time, it was the end of the Qing Dynasty Chinese population explosion, at the same time there was the Taiping Rebellion, uprisings everywhere, a large number of poor people who could not survive flocked to Hong Kong and Macau, and then voluntarily or deceived to go to the Americas by boat to become coolies, their wages were low, they could endure hardships and be obedient, and they were willing to engage in various dangerous jobs.

Known as one of the world's seven industrial miracles, the Pacific Railway, the whole journey of more than 3,000 kilometers, through the entire American continent, the most difficult section of the railway is almost all completed by Chinese workers, later generations have a very famous saying, called - Pacific Railway has a Chinese worker bones under each sleeper.

However, the influx of cheap labor, who had less to eat and more work, and hardly worked hard, had a great impact on the labor market in the United States itself, and the discrimination against Chinese workers also reached its peak at that time, especially when the railroad was about to be completed, because of the fear that these Chinese unions would flood into nearby towns to grab jobs, and even the vicious incident of miners uniting to attack Chinese workers, they rushed to the camp at night with knives and guns, and the frightened Chinese workers could only flee in all directions.

In this era, the widespread discrimination against Chinese workers is nothing new, and don't think that this kind of discrimination is just lip service, Zhang Heng doesn't know if the story told by the bear-like guy in front of him is true, but he has really read some similar real cases.

In the nineteenth-century West, someone shot and killed a black cowboy just because he didn't like black people, fled before the sheriff arrived, and then ran incognito to other towns to drink, and saw another black man in a bar, and couldn't help it, so he pulled out his gun and killed him, and then was surrounded and killed by the bailiffs.

Similar things are just too numerous in the West.

This is a place where bullets speak better than reasoning, everyone is a walking constitution, and whose laws are more effective depends on whose bullets are faster.

Zhang Heng didn't get angry, in fact, he could understand the other party's thoughts very well, he came to the bar alone, thirsty and tired, and he didn't have a weapon on his body, let alone a firearm, he didn't even have a knife, and on the other hand, there were seven people, seven men armed to the teeth, strong and strong, and drunk right up, at this time it is difficult for you not to have some fun to make yourself happy.

Zhang Heng had to admit that he had gone in the wrong direction from the beginning, and it didn't make sense to be as friendly as possible in the face of thugs in a chaotic place, but it didn't matter, dealing with thugs and villains was originally his forte, maybe because he had been away from Black Sail's copy for too long, so long that he almost forgot what the standard way to deal with this kind of thing was.

Zhang Heng then picked up an empty wine glass on the bar, raised his glass to the bear-like man and said, "This cup is for you, let me recall those nostalgic old times." ”

Just when the guy was wondering how Zhang Heng could toast with an empty wine glass, he immediately saw the empty wine glass enlarged in front of his eyes.

Zhang Heng directly clasped the wine glass on the face of the bear-like man, and then hit the bottom of the cup with a punch, and the next moment he heard the sound of the broken bone of the bridge of his nose.

The rest of the people in the bar were stunned by this sudden scene, obviously they were still immersed in a happy atmosphere a moment ago, and in a blink of an eye their companions were beaten, is this Chinese in front of him a blind man, can't see his situation clearly? Shouldn't normal people be people with their tails between their legs in this situation, how could they do it first.

However, their reaction was also very fast, the guy who played with the rifle picked up the rifle in his hand at the first time, but Zhang Heng's movements were faster, and in the process of the bear-like man falling backwards from this glass, Zhang Heng had already pulled out the revolver on his waist.

The two raised their guns almost at the same time, but Zhang Heng was still half a second faster, and as he pulled the trigger, a string of blood flowers burst out on the head of the guy holding the rifle, and he immediately lay on the table and couldn't move anymore.

Then Zhang Heng turned the muzzle of the gun to the table of people playing cards, one of the bearded and a thin man also drew their pistols at this time, Zhang Heng didn't care about the thin man, and shot him in the heart before the bearded man shot, at the same time the thin man also pulled the trigger, but perhaps because of nervousness, the bullet grazed Zhang Heng's body and flew to the wine rack behind him.

Zhang Heng didn't even blink his eyes, turned the muzzle of the gun and killed the other person next to the thin man, and at this time, the person playing with the knife had already rushed up, and the bright knife was only less than a few centimeters away from Zhang Heng's chest, and at the same time, the thin man finally aimed at him.

In this situation where one of the two choices is almost certain death, Zhang Heng is still calm, he chose the guy with the knife, but when he pulled the trigger, Zhang Heng himself rushed forward with the blade.

Eventually, just as the knife was about to stab him, the bullet took the life of the knife bearer, and the thin man's muzzle was blocked by the corpse of his companion.

Zhang Heng slowly sent another bullet into the other party's eyebrows.

The sound of the gunfight woke up the drunk man who was sleeping in the corner, but when he opened his eyes and found that his companions had fallen, he opened his mouth wide and looked like a ghost, but fortunately, his troubles did not last long, and soon Zhang Heng gave him the last minute bullet.

This only happened in a few seconds, and if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you probably wouldn't have believed that seven fully armed men would be wiped out in an instant.

Zhang Heng threw away the revolver that had no bullets in his hand, picked up the lever rifle on the ground again, and then raised the gun to shoot at the owner in the bar.

The latter's body was directly blasted out and hit the wine rack, his eyes were full of disbelief, after all, he had just touched the revolver under the bar, and before he could shoot Zhang Heng, he was preempted by the other party.

Zhang Heng sighed and said, "Since you have already become deaf, you just do it to the end, why do you have to get involved?" ”

It's a pity that his last words are no longer heard by the bar owner.

Zhang Heng picked up a new cup from the bar, then walked to the card table, poured himself a glass of whiskey, drank it all, and finally rehydrated his body, and then he moved a stool and took the whiskey to the bear-like man whose nose was broken.

The latter looked at him with a completely different gaze now, and after witnessing his companions fall to the ground and die, his tall, strong body curled up in a ball, shivering on the ground, and even ignoring his bleeding nose, he said in horror, "You...... Who are you? ”

Zhang Heng put the stool in front of him, and then sat down.

"Why don't we put your question on the back and answer a few of my questions first?"
