Chapter 15 The Courier
Richard's eyesight was very good, and he could clearly see that the person who came was dressed as a Chinese gunman, needless to say, it must be someone from the Hall of Protocols.
6 of his right-hand men were killed, including Lin Zhanhao, the helmsman of the North American rudder, and Lin Ada, the second-way incense master.
As the saying goes, people fight for a breath, and the Buddha relies on a stick of incense;
Now there are still 13 people in the agreement hall in the hands of the Tang Society, and they have planted such a big face, if they don't get it back, the agreement hall will not be mixed up in San Francisco, and they will be crushed to death.
The guard post at the mouth of the valley also found someone coming, and without giving orders, the cavalry captain Gao Shiheng took more than 10 horsemen to meet him and stopped the other party 2 kilometers away.
Richard withdrew his gaze;
There are so many people in the Hall of Protocol, obviously not a war, and it will be too late to wait and see what charter they come up with, and then deal with it.
The top of the hill in front of you
After a morning of leveling by hundreds of people, a semicircular field of about 600 square meters has been leveled, about one acre or so, and the foundation of a circle of houses has been dug and is being filled with stones as the foundation of the house.
These stones are all gravel by the river, loaded on a four-wheeled carriage, pulled up along the gentle slope with two horses, can be pulled all the way to the top of the hill construction site, the gravel is evenly sprinkled on the foundation, a group of 4 people, together with a thick wooden pier to solidify.
Dozens of young men from the hacksaw group were sawing wood in groups of twos and twos, shouting the labor trumpet and doing a good job.
This is a matter of everyone's personal safety, with more strength, everyone feels that they should do their part, and no one is cheating and cheating.
The sawn planks are enclosed in the shape of a "well", leaving a gap between the planks and the planks, and a bonfire is lit in the middle to bake.
Anyway, there is a lot of scrap wood sawed down, and when I see that the bonfire is weak, I fill in some waste wood and burn it again, and the bonfire goes on day and night.
The Chinese workers in each group have leaders who are responsible for building houses and trees, and the construction work is carried out in an orderly manner.
As can be seen from the accumulation of timber, the progress of the logging group is significantly faster than that of the construction group, and a sufficient number of logs can be accumulated by almost tomorrow.
Three days
With the concerted efforts of more than 1,000 builders, the main body of the more than 170-meter-long Shanhaiguan walled wall can basically be completed, and there is no need for so many people to finish the finishing work.
The construction of wooden houses in the camped area at the top of the hill is a little slower, about a week, and the space here is limited, only two or three hundred people are needed.
Richard was quite satisfied with the progress of the project, and he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.
He looked over the hot construction site and saw the musketeers in a neat line following the training of French military instructors in the col ahead, and nodded secretly.
He needs the Chinese armed forces to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and since there are enough manpower, he simply let the guys concentrate on military training and do not need to participate in the construction.
After walking around for a long time, Richard saw a cavalryman coming on a flying horse, so he stood high on the hill and waited.
The cavalryman rode uphill, crossed the two breastwork defenses along the gentle slope to the top of the hill, turned over and dismounted, quickly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, and returned to the road;
"Report to the president, the person who came is the messenger of the Agreement Hall, and brought a handwritten letter from Lin Zhanyuan, the young gang leader of the Agreement Hall, and the person who came asked to present it to the president."
"Oh, then let the messenger come."
"Yes."
The cavalryman clasped his hands into fists and saluted, and immediately turned to summon him.
Richard didn't want the other party to see the construction on the top of the mountain, so he walked down the gentle slope, and the Chinese laborers who passed by along the way retreated one after another, standing respectfully on both sides and bending down to salute.
This series of measures of the Datang Society was wholeheartedly supported by the Chinese workers, and Richard took advantage of this general trend to take off, and virtually became the leader of the Chinese workers, and had the basic plate of one party's forces.
While Richard was secretly happy, he also knew it clearly;
In this wild land in the west where the strong are respected, only by relying on arming and developing Chinese forces as the basic plate can we gain a firm foothold and create a piece of the world.
The relationship between the two sides is that of fish and water, without fish and water, there is no life, and without water, fish must die.
Therefore, moving away from the big stone blocking the way of the agreement hall is the only way for the development of the Tang Society.
Richard could not tolerate the forces of an underworld gang like the Agreement Hall, and share the leadership of the Chinese labor group with himself, and in the acre of San Francisco, it is enough to have the Datang Society.
Walk to the bottom of the mountain
Just as the two soldiers escorted Liu Wu to the nearest place, Richard waved his hand and asked them to go back to watch over the other prisoners, and leave Liu Wu alone.
"Fifth Brother Liu, you won't blame me for cutting off your back road, right?"
"Thanks to the president's affordability, Liu Wu's life will be sold to the president in the future, and he is willing to lead the horse and fall and serve left and right, just ask the president not to dislike it."
"You are an understanding person, although you are still a little reluctant in your heart now, but you will understand in the future that following the Datang Club is a bright and smooth road."
"The little ones don't dare, but the adults will look ahead."
"Well, do you know the words?"
"Hui Yu will grow up, the small coarse and ink, the court newspaper can also understand, and he also understands some simple Western Chinese."
"Which one?"
"It's English, when I go to the South Seas, I am bored on the ship, and I follow the skin learned by foreigners."
"So...... Can foreigner newspapers understand? ”
"Returning to the elder up, the small English vocabulary is not enough, and I can't understand it all, and I can roughly figure out the meaning even if I estimate and guess."
"Yes, a caring person." Richard nodded and said thoughtfully.
He had already seen before that there was a sense of cleverness in this reckless man named Liu Wu.
Others are easily deceived by his rough image of a bearded face, thinking that this is a man with a big grinning attitude, who knows that he is shocked.
In order to save his life, Liu Wu not only sold the agreement hall cleanly, but also revealed many hidden things, and did not keep half a cent.
This kind of behavior is a naked betrayal, according to the gang rules, the incense hall should be opened three times and six holes, or directly beaten to death with a stick, and the body will be thrown into the Pacific Ocean.
I know so
Liu Wu still did this, because the agreement hall is a gangster society with family blood ties as the core, and he is a person with a foreign surname, and he will never come out here.
Good birds choose trees to perch, this is the way people understand.
Case
Richard helped him break it thoroughly, and cut off Liu Wu's repeated thoughts.
Not far away
Gao Shiheng, the captain of the cavalry, led a few people and escorted two messengers to the front, and when he passed the construction site of the Shanhaiguan wall, he turned over and dismounted, and escorted the messengers on foot.
Liu Wu and Li Cha stood together, one step behind to show humility, and when they saw someone coming, they quietly stepped forward and said;
"President, I know these two guys who came, one is Lin Zhanhao's brother-in-law, the one with a little white skin, called Mai Fusheng, don't look like a dog, this is a villain who has done all the bad things and has pus on the soles of his feet.
Relying on the power of his brother-in-law Brother Hao, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, cheating, abducting and deceiving all kinds of evil, so bad that even his own brothers are pitted.
Especially the girls in the prostitutes, with his methods are the most vicious, and the most evil, no less than 10 lives died at his hands.
The other is called Shrimp Boy, but he is a man with affection and righteousness, and he will not be in the same boat as others, bloody and responsible. ”
After hearing this, Richard nodded slightly, his eyes sharply focused on the face of the fairer-skinned McFusheng, and the cold glint in his eyes flashed.
