Chapter 274: Escape Plan
When the other three overseers saw that their companions had been beaten, they came up and were about to attack.
Song Che didn't give in, pointed to his head, and shouted at them: "If you have the ability, you can fight here, if it is broken, you can't make a gun, let's go to the sea to feed the sharks together!" ”
A few overseers, you look at me, I look at you, holding the rattan whip tightly, but no one dares to do it.
"Bullying the soft and fearing the hard, treating me as a paper tiger, then you are very wrong!"
Song Che flicked his sleeves, turned back to the old Tang station, and said bluntly: "Uncle, my surname is Song, why don't you ask boldly, without communication and discussion, how can you make a gun?" ”
Not only Lao Tang, but all the blacksmiths were impressed by Song Che, it turned out that this rich young man was not a slave who could be spurred on.
Old Tang had a hoarse throat, bared his yellow glutinous rice teeth, and said with a smile: "Song Gongzi's drawings are very detailed, but there is nothing I don't understand. ”
Song Che nodded, and said again, "Then if you have any questions, just call me, from now on, I will have the final say in this weapon shop." ”
Then he walked around the shop generously, and the overseer could only stare dryly.
The weapon shop is naturally a place to produce weapons, and the pirates are all pirates and are good at naval warfare-
In the battle on the sea, the two sides first fire a wave of bows and crossbows, and then release small boats to ferry, or large ships collide against each other, and the attackers board the ship to start hand-to-hand combat.
The ship itself is small, and the spear gun cannot play a role, so the melee weapons created are mostly machetes, and there is no exquisite craftsmanship, as long as the blade is sharp enough to hack people to death, it is considered a good weapon.
As for ranged weapons, they are generally hard bows.
You must know that on the sea, strong winds are blowing all the time, and the arrows shot out have almost no accuracy at all, perhaps because of this, Wang Zhi will try his best to tie him to Shedao to develop a musket.
With the instantaneous velocity of the musket, the general wind resistance is really not a concern.
"It's eaten, eaten!"
I finally managed to stay up until noon. Two overseers carried a bucket of vegetable soup comparable to "water water" and placed it in front of the weapons shop.
The blacksmith hurriedly put down the hammer in his hand, picked up the dishes and chopsticks that had been prepared, and lined up to welcome lunch.
One spoonful per person, you can refill after eating, but there is only one bucket, and it is gone after eating, so they all eat quickly, and sometimes the vegetable soup is still in their mouths, and they line up again.
Old Tang only served a bowl, squatted next to the workstation, drank slowly, and a bowl of vegetable soup that didn't even have oil flowers made him drink the sweet and sour of the spirits.
Zhang Hu also brought lunch to Song Che, and at his strong request, there were not only fish, shrimp and crabs and other seafood, but also an extra coarse grain flatbread every day.
Song Che's stomach was already croaking, but he tore off a piece of flatbread to put it in his mouth, and inadvertently looked up to find that all the blacksmiths were staring at him.
Song Che moistened his lips, sighed secretly, walked to Lao Tang and sat down, tore off half of the flatbread and handed it over, it would not be embarrassing to find someone to eat together.
Old Tang looked at the flatbread and swallowed his saliva, although he was extremely eager, he never reached out to take it.
Song Che soaked the flatbread into the old Tang soup bowl and said with a smile: "Eat, you're welcome, they don't dare to say anything." ”
Old Tang took a big bite of it, tears welled up in his eyes, and he choked up and said thank you.
"By the way, uncle, are these all people who went to the mine?"
While you're eating, listen to the available information.
Old Tang nodded, "The mine is divided into two shifts in the morning and evening, and these people will get up to work after dark, and the bunks in the mine that take over them will sleep." ”
Don't even give a bed for one person?
"Isn't the gold mine on the southeast side, why are these miners sleeping on the west side?" Song Che asked again.
"The pit on the southeast side was hollowed out a month ago, and now a new mine has been opened on the west side. ”
I see...... Song Che nodded, taking all the information to heart, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Can the old man do me a favor?" ”
Seeing that Song Che's tone suddenly became mysterious, Old Tang also realized something, blinked his eyes, and signaled that it was feasible.
Song Che said in a low voice: "You can cut some of the beef tendons used to make bows and crossbows for me, not too much, just one inch a day."
Old Tang looked at the flatbread in the bowl and pondered for a long time, and finally raised his head and blinked again, signaling his agreement.
Song Che smiled knowingly, said no more, put the remaining half of the flatbread into the old Tang bowl, and got up to leave.
In the afternoon, business as usual.
Song Che chatted with Lao Tang when he had nothing to do, and learned that most of these blacksmiths and miners were from Tongzhou and Taizhou.
A merchant came to the town and said that he had found a gold mine overseas, and that he had recruited young and strong men to help him, and that he could get one tael for ten taels of gold.
In the face of this "universal wealth", all the young people in the town who thought they had the strength to make a fortune secretly crossed the coastal defense to Shedao with a dream of making a fortune.
Who expected that things backfired, and when they went to the island, they learned that they were only coaxed into doing coolies, and it was impossible to bring a penny home until they died.
The businessman who coaxed people to go to the island was Ma You from Majiazhuang.
Song Che told Old Tang that Ma You's family was ruined.
Old Tang laughed all afternoon.
……
Night.
Sure enough, a team of about 300 miners walked down the hill, and those who slept in the shanties were shouted to get up by the overseers and taken to the mines like ducks on the shelves to work at night.
After the shift change, I was exhausted, and I didn't wash or change my clothes, but got into the moldy quilt that still had residual temperature, and fell asleep.
"Song Gongzi, thank you for today's big cake."
Old Tang held Song Che's hand and pretended to thank him, but in fact handed over a small cow tendon.
Song Che accepted it with a smile and returned to the grass house.
Next is the escape plan:
Zhang Hu and Zhao Long eat, drink and Lasa are inseparable, and if they want to escape, they must first get rid of their surveillance, and the best way to get rid of them is to kill them.
Punches and kicks will definitely not work.
Song Che once watched a very interesting movie about a prisoner who used the elastic band of his underwear to make a bow and crossbow and shoot a prison guard.
Regardless of whether the movie is real or not, making weapons to kill people is the most effective way to make up for the lack of force.
Beef tendon is used for this.
If Zhang Hu and Zhao Long can pass this level, the next step is how to escape to the dock and leave by boat;
She Island is surrounded by the sea, and if you want to escape back to the mainland, there is no other way but to take a boat;
Song Che is located in the grass house, located on a hillside, down there is a military station, this road is not passable, and up is the cliff Haikou that he has been to before;
Peng San said that there is a karst cave under the cliff, which can be connected to the mine in the mountain. If you can find the entrance to the cave, go back to the cave in the opposite direction, and then come out of the cave, sneak around the ronin camp, you can reach the dock.
Through these few days of observation, Song Che found that Shedao would blow the military horn every two nights, and at this time, the Japanese would urgently board the ship to support the front line, and when they repelled the Daliang Naval Division, they would return to the island after dawn -
If you can find a way to board the warship, you can leave Shedao among the pirates.
"Alas......"
It's not easy to escape, Song Che sighed.
Just thinking about it, I feel so hard, so hard, so hard......
