The enemy on the other side of the river lost the leader of the attack, except for confusion and confusion.

The effective range of the shotgun cannot reach the opposite side, and the bullets cannot accurately fall on the target position, and they are all flying around;

The bridge was broken, and it was impossible to cross the river, and those who tried to enter the water were shot by the madman on the opposite roof.

The madman stopped killing, but no one dared to challenge his marksmanship, and they saw with their own eyes how the man shot through the heads of the people who had crossed the river.

The most infuriating thing is that the madman is still taunting madly in English:

"Surrender and lose half!"

A group of miners and townspeople discussed for a long time without coming up with a result.

"Are you going to stand here?"

A voice rang out.

The group turned around to find Hanks and Hawley behind them with another group of workers.

As the leader of the local Labor Knights in Stone Springs, Hanks disagreed with the attack on Chinese workers.

But at yesterday's meeting, O'Neill's instigation, coupled with Hayden's encouragement, declared war on the Chinese in Stonesprings was the mainstream opinion.

In the face of surging public opinion, Hanks chose to shut up.

He stayed at home with some of the workers and townspeople who also disapproved of the violent attacks.

"Did you get what you wanted?" Hanks said to the workers with a pity.

He wasn't sure if it would be useful for him to say that in the current situation, but he still had to say it.

He didn't want to see things go worse.

"Let's go back first! You are standing here, and there is no help, and a stalemate will only make things worse! ”

At this moment, a group of Chinese soldiers on horseback appeared on the other side of the river.

They were heavily armed and looked distinctly different from the Chinese workers before them.

Chen Jianqiu stood on the roof, looking at the white workers on the other side of the river with an expressionless face.

"We're all workers, and I don't want to turn a gun on you." He shouted, his voice deafening.

The river flows quietly, blown by the wind.

Chen Jianqiu's voice echoed above the river.

"But if anyone dares to light the butcher's knife at my people, they will end up with the same fate as those who rushed in today!"

When a friend comes, there is good wine, but if a jackal comes, the only thing waiting for him is a shotgun!

There was silence on the other side of the river.

Today's events have subverted the perception of the Chinese by all the white people in Shiquan Town, including Hanks.

They had never seen Chinese so hard in their lives.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Chen Jianqiu climbed down from the roof and returned to the residential area with the people of the Long Xiang group.

The Chinese workers are cleaning up the battlefield.

In addition to the young man who was killed by Larsen, there was also a young miner who was unfortunately shot in the chest and died.

The others were injured, but none of them were very serious.

On the white side, on the other hand, there were heavy casualties.

In addition to the three perpetrators of the incident, who died violently, more than a dozen people lost their lives.

The Swedish miners are now very happy that they are here.

Because if they hadn't controlled the situation, there was a good chance that no one on their side would have made it out of the Chinese neighborhood alive.

Chen Jianqiu walked past the injured miners and examined their injuries one by one.

But none of these young men showed pain on their faces.

They excitedly exchanged their experiences in the battle just now, and it seemed that this awesome was enough for them to blow for a lifetime.

Just as Chen Jianqiu was about to find a place to rest, he suddenly heard someone calling his name behind his back.

"Jianqiu, what should we do now?"

Chen Jianqiu turned his head and found that it was Liao Dabai and several of their Chinese leaders.

Although they were all older than Chen Jianqiu, they spoke in a very respectful tone.

"Wait."

Chen Jianqiu only replied with one word.

Liao Dabai and the others looked at each other.

Wait? What are you waiting for?

Chen Jianqiu pointed to the dejected white miners.

"Wait for the foreigner on the other side to come to us to make peace."

"Then, Jianqiu, will those foreigners send police or the army over?"

New Jeffer hesitated for a moment and asked worriedly.

"What are you afraid of! If those foreigners and policemen dare to come, we will do it with them! Lei Youqing slammed the axe in his hand into the ground under his feet.

Chen Jianqiu waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about this, I'll deal with it." ”

His words more or less comforted those present.

So far, Chen Jianqiu has fulfilled every promise he made, and the Chinese workers have no reason not to believe him.

"So, we'll resume tomorrow, production?" Liao Dabai asked tentatively.

Chen Jianqiu glanced at him: "Why do you want to resume production?" ”

He looked in the direction of Well No. 3: "Are you satisfied with the treatment and production environment here?" ”

"Well, the salary is a little lower, but it's better than nothing."

In front of Chen Jianqiu, Liao Dabai felt nervous for no reason, and he whispered.

"What are you afraid of? Afraid of losing your job? If you do lose your job, I'll take you to New Mexico, where there are good jobs waiting for you! ”

Chen Jianqiu found a stool and sat down.

"That's it, what are you afraid of, our boss's industry is big, it's not a big problem to take you in, it's really not good, there are still mines in Mexico."

Li Sifu walked up with a grin.

Chen Jianqiu glanced at him.

Li Sifu immediately shut up.

Liao Dabai and a few people stood in place, and the Chinese workers who came up after hearing the sound were also a little confused.

"Jianqiu, is it possible, the Boss Chen they passed on is you?" New Jaber asked in a trembling voice.

Chen Jianqiu didn't answer this question directly, he asked Li Sifu for a cloth and wiped his boots:

"Listen to me or not, whatever you want, if you want to continue to work, I won't stop you, but if you die in the mine one day, I won't care."

Liao Dabai and they all obediently shut their mouths.

Just listen honestly to the young man in front of you.

If you can't understand it with the cows, then the rice for so many years will be eaten in vain.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the river, in the Knights of Labor.

The remaining union members are holding an urgent meeting to discuss the next steps.

O'Neill's actions led to the Knights of Labor suffering heavy losses.

Not to mention the dead, the purpose has not been achieved at all.

The Chinese workers are still there, and there are dozens of worker brothers on their own side in the hands of others.

Workers' trust in the unions plummeted to the bottom.

What else is this talking about strikes?

"Otherwise, let's call the police." An officer of the Knights of Labor said, "Tell the sheriff of Carben County about what is going on here, and he'll tell the governor, and the governor will send the state militia to suppress the Chinese laborers!" ”

"Call the police? How do you say that? The group went to besiege the Chinese workers with weapons, and then they were beaten back by the Chinese workers, and there were still dead people? ”

Hanks is going crazy.

What are the brain circuits of the directors you recruit?

"Repression? Are you sure that those militias came to suppress Chinese workers? The boss of the Pacific Coal Company woke up laughing in his dreams, and the militia sent over to arrest those of us who were going to organize a strike, and then find a crime to arrest him. ”

"Then we can't stop working for a while." The officer seemed to realize that there was something wrong with his words, and continued to ask.

Hanks was speechless.

He sat in his chair and stared blankly out the door.

I have been preparing for a strike action for so long, and I am about to fail, and my efforts will be in vain.

The town of Stone Springs will be the breaking point for this strike against Pacific Coal Mining.

In the future, how will he still get mixed up in the Labor Knights.

After a long time, he sighed:

"Let's find a way to get back those workers who were detained by the Chinese workers! Otherwise, the remaining workers will no longer believe us, and the Knights of Labor in Shiquan Town will cease to exist. ”

Officers, look at me, I'll look at you.

Fishing for people? Negotiation? Negotiate with that maniac standing on the roof?

They touched their necks, and none of them dared to stand up.

The Knights of Labor were silent.

"Forget it, I'll try it!"

A young voice broke the silence in the room.

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound.

The vice president sent by the San Francisco Knights to support, Hawley, rose from his chair.

When the blond young man arrived, he kept a low profile, not expressing his opinions at will, but silently observing all this with his eyes.

"Are you really going? It can be dangerous! ”

Hanks was overjoyed at first, but worried about the young man's safety.

After all, he was only here to support, and now that he has died, O'Neill has died, and if he dies again, he will not be able to explain to the headquarters.

"Don't be so nervous, there is nothing to be afraid of those Chinese workers."

Hawley showed his trademark smile:

"Besides, as a member of the Knights of Labor who came to help, I have an obligation to help you, right?"
