It's too late, it's too soon.

Richard had already pulled out his Colt revolver with a flip of his hand, and almost at the same time as the gun was fired, the ......gun rang out four times in a row, knocking out the scarred man and the other two gunmen who were pulling out the gun, and fell off their horses.

In the blink of an eye

Richard drew another Colt revolver from the pouch under his left rib, pointed the muzzle of the black hole at the others, and at the same time, inserted the pistol that fired four rounds back into the pouch of his right waist, and shouted a command; "If you don't want to die, don't move, raise your hands high."

At this time, the role of the French veteran can be seen.

Mike Rabiot was not stunned by Richard's move to kill three people in a row, but quickly dismounted and held his gun, dragged the Chinese gunman next to him off his horse, and unloaded his weapon.

The two members of the team who followed Richard suddenly realized that they had dragged the others off their horses and unloaded their weapons.

Got it done here

Richard snorted his horse's belly with both feet, and instigated his mount to move forward slowly, and those fierce Chinese gunners in the valley were shocked, and they had been dragged off their horses by Dai Changfu and others, and became prisoners.

More than 60 people dealt with eight, and they were captured.

Of the 16 gunmen in the protocol hall, 3 were killed on the spot, and 13 were captured.

With a wave of his hand, Richard commanded; "Bring them all back, who's that...... What do you call it? ”

He was referring to the reckless guy who suddenly shouted "big dragon head" just now, this person looked honest, his medium stature was not surprising, his face turned a little pale after being called to stop, and he didn't answer with a cowardly expression.

Richard was furious in his heart, but fortunately his hand speed was super fast, and he killed the enemy first, otherwise it would be dangerous.

Dai Changfu kicked a captive gunman to his knees, walked over and stared at him fiercely, and then looked up and reported; "Young master, this idiot is a member of the second team, called Miao Xiaoshan, we didn't pay attention to him to point you out at that dangerous time, it's too late to stop him, I suspect he did it on purpose, or break him?"

"Don't be impatient, ask clearly." Richard waved his hand, looked at the nervous Miao Xiaoshan with a scrutinized gaze, and saw the other party's evasive expression, and he already had a rough idea in his heart.

"Miao Xiaoshan, I ask you as the leading brother of the Tang Society, you must answer my question honestly, there is only one chance, why did you suddenly reveal my identity in front of the people in the agreement hall?"

"Young master, I didn't mean to! I know it's wrong, so please spare me. Tian Xiaoshan fell to his knees and shouted with a frightened expression.

"I've given you the opportunity, but I'm still not telling the truth." Richard said coldly, then raised the gun in his hand and aimed it at a gangster kneeling on the side, the muzzle of the gun directly against his head.

It was an older man, about thirty or forty years old, with a full beard and a well-dressed body, like a small boss.

When Richard's gun was pointed at him, the man was so frightened that he immediately collapsed to the ground and shouted in horror; "Young master, young master, please keep people under the gun, the agreement hall is willing to pay a high ransom, and any conditions are easy to negotiate."

"I only ask you one thing now, you must answer honestly, and if you answer wrong, you will die."

"Please ask the young master to ask, I, Liu Wuzhi, know everything, and I will never dare to be half false."

"Do you know this Tian Xiaoshan, and where did he come from?" Richard asked coldly.

"I know this, Tian Xiaoshan is a bad gambler and a womanizer, he owes a lot of money in our kiln and gambling stalls, Lin Ada's people came to him to settle the account, but he didn't expect to die here." Liu Wu faced the muzzle of the black hole, and he didn't have the slightest idea of covering up for Tian Xiaoshan, and he happily admitted the secret collusion between the two sides like pouring beans into the bamboo tube.

"Early this morning, I received a letter from the entrance of the hall, which said that I knew that Lin Ada, the other three people were shot, and they knew where they were buried? The murderer was Richard, who killed people in the old Barr tavern, and this letter was written by Tian Xiaoshan, in which he cursed and swore that it was all seen with his own eyes, and there was no falsehood, and the purpose was to write off the debts owed. Brother Hao was furious when he heard this, and immediately led people to want revenge, but the result was ...... As a result, you were shot and killed. ”

"Is there a lie?"

"Don't dare, there's no half-truth, there are other guys who can prove my words."

Richard nodded, withdrew the gun in his hand, and then said to the surrounding team members who were already full of anger;

"The facts are already very clear, Tian Xiaoshan is this scum who eats inside and out, this person has a vicious heart, betrays the main and betrays the association, and should be severely punished.

I Datang Club was founded, and I pay attention to brotherly love, thinking together, and making efforts in one place, and its profits are broken.

The purpose is to help Chinese compatriots survive in this difficult world, but also to live and nourish freely, live a happy life of marrying a wife and having children, and not be bullied.

But then again, the Tang Society is not a good person who eats fasting and recites Buddha, and will never tolerate the enemy, and will also kill such traitors to set an example."

Speaking of which

Richard glanced at everyone with sharp eyes, and everyone replied with their fists clasped in unison; "This person is extremely evil, whether he kills or kills, but he relies on the dragon head to decide, and we have no objection."

"Captain Dai, the facts are clear, kill this traitor for me." Richard ordered.

"Yes."

Dai Changfu did not hesitate to draw his pistol, and in Tian Xiaoshan's frightened eyes, he fired three shots in a row, killing him on the spot.

Richard didn't do it himself, which was a very important thing to say.

The Datang Club was newly founded, and the rules and systems were not perfect, so it was not strange to mix in some dissident elements, and it would take time to slowly screen and eliminate them.

But Tian Xiaoshan is a member of the association after all, and he can't kill like an enemy, and if he makes a mistake, he must prove it, and finally implement the family law.

Killing without telling the story will chill the hearts of the other brothers.

The agreement hall suddenly arrived at the door of the house this time, which reminded Richard again, if he couldn't guard this valley pass, it would be easy for someone to get rid of it.

When the time comes, there will be no lair, and even if he has all the ability, he can only die in the world.

Military training must be carried out without delay, and at the same time, the identity and background of the personnel must be screened, and the contingent must be gradually tempered into a fighting force to rely on in this troubled era.

While the men were escorting the captives into the valley, Richard led his horse to the side of the French instructor Mike Rabiot, and said sincerely;

"Mike, thank you for your help, now you see that my people don't understand anything, if there is really a fire, many people may immediately hug their heads and run away, and strict military training is very needed."

"Please rest assured, Master Richard, I am very good at training a group of peasants who have just dropped their hoes into soldiers, and it only takes two months to be able to look good."

"Two months, sounds good."

"Don't expect too much from a soldier trained in two months, a qualified soldier must go through more than half a year of formal training, firmly imprint military regulations in his mind, and become part of the war machine. When it is time to charge, they are not afraid to face the enemy's bullets. Only a soldier who has been baptized by war is a qualified good soldier. ”

"Looks like I'm thinking too simply, okay, so where do we start?"

"Military regulations and queues, this is something to be instilled in soldiers first, so that they develop a high degree of discipline and obedience in their rigorous training, and before doing anything, they report to their superiors."

"Okay, just let it go, Instructor Mike, I'll give you my full support."

"Thank you! I can see that these are a bunch of great boys, with good physical fitness and good obedience, and I am confident that I can train them to be qualified soldiers. ”

As the two spoke, they walked and soon arrived at the wooded cabin, a humble environment that made the French instructor Mike Rabiot frown.

Without it, this row of three wooden houses is too small.

There are more than 110 gunners in the Datang Society, the original 20 horses, plus the 16 horses captured now, this is 43 horses, how can this place be enough to live? Place is too cramped.

The carriage from Russell's grocery store untied the ropes that bound the goods, revealing a large number of well-packaged weapons of length and shortness, a brand-new Colt revolver in a wooden box, with a throughbar, a pressure lever, a small oil bag for the maintenance of the firearm, and a holster made of cowhide.

The second-hand 1777 Type 09 musket is much simpler, just carefully wrapped and bundled with layers of burlap.

Seeing this batch of weapons, coupled with the weapons of the 16 riders of the Protocol Hall, caused the gunners of the Datang Society to cheer loudly from the bottom of their hearts, but soon they couldn't laugh anymore.

Because weapons are not issued for the time being, they must wait until after the end of military training to receive a gun, or when they are on duty, and return them after duty.

The 16 riders in the hall were still very well equipped, each with a short knife, a revolver and a spear, the saddle of the war horse was fully equipped, and the blankets, water bottles and other things necessary for sleeping in the wilderness were also carried behind the horses' buttocks.

With these equipment, plus the equipment accumulated before, the Datang Society can arm 57 riders, except for 15 of the horses that are provided by the riders, the others are armed by the Datang Society, which can be regarded as a large armed horse team.

In addition, with the surplus weapons, you can also form a rifle squad with 15 flintlock spears to supplement the firepower and guard Taniguchi on a daily basis, so there will be no situation with fewer guns and more people than today.

From the standpoint

As long as there is no high-intensity armed conflict, this armed force is sufficient, and now it is necessary to train and carry out duties at the same time, and at the same time mobilize manpower to build barracks, temporarily lay a solid foundation, and then consider further expansion.

In front of everyone, Richard appointed Mr. Mike Rabiot, a Frenchman, as the chief military instructor, and handed over to him Dai Changfu and more than 60 other people, and began formal military training in the afternoon while he was familiar with it at lunchtime.

Eaten

Richard took two people and began to interrogate the prisoners, the first one was Liu Wu, who had just behaved well, this guy slipped over with his hands tied behind his back, and when he saw Richard, his face turned pale and he stammered when he spoke.

Li ...... Master Richard, I'm ...... Spare your life! ”
