Wild North America 1846

Richard's eyesight was very good. When he climbed up and looked far, he could clearly see that the person coming was dressed as a Chinese gunman. Needless to say, he must be someone from the Agreement Hall.

Six of his capable men were shot dead, including Lin Zhanhao, the helmsman of the North American branch, and Lin Ada, the leader of the Second Route Xiang. The relationship between the two sides was not small, and it was truly a blood feud.

As the saying goes, people strive for a breath, but Buddha relies on a stick of incense;

There are still 13 people in the Agreement Hall who have suffered such a big loss at the hands of the Tang Association. If they are not brought back, the Agreement Hall will no longer be able to hang out in San Francisco and will be severely suppressed.

The guard post at Taniguchi also noticed the visitor. Without any instructions, the cavalry captain Gao Shiheng led more than 10 cavalrymen to meet him and stopped him 2 kilometers away.

Richard withdrew his gaze;

There are only so many people in the Agreement Hall. It is obviously not a war. We will wait and see what regulations they come up with. It will not be too late to deal with it.

The top of the hill in front of you

After a morning of leveling by hundreds of people, a semicircular site of more than 600 square meters, about an acre, has been leveled. The foundations of a circle of houses have been dug, and stones are being filled inside to serve as the foundations of the houses.

These gravels are all gravel from the river. They are loaded on four-wheeled carriages and pulled up by two horses along the gentle slope. They can be pulled all the way to the construction site at the top of the hill. The gravel is evenly sprinkled on the foundation. A group of 4 people work together.

Build it with thick wooden piers.

Dozens of young men in the iron saw team were sawing wood in pairs, shouting work chants and working enthusiastically.

This is related to everyone's personal safety. Everyone feels that they should be responsible for the extra effort, and no one is cheating.

The sawn wooden boards are formed into a "well" shape, with gaps between the wooden boards, and a bonfire is lit in the middle for baking.

Anyway, there was a lot of sawn waste wood. When I saw that the bonfire was getting weak, I filled in some waste wood and burned it again. The bonfire continued day and night.

The Chinese workers in each group were led by leaders who were responsible for building houses and placing trees. The construction work was progressing in an orderly manner.

It can be seen from the piled wood that the progress of the logging team is obviously faster than that of the construction team. It will be almost finished tomorrow and a sufficient amount of logs will be saved.

three days

With the concerted efforts of more than a thousand builders, the main body of the Shanhaiguan Wall, which is more than 170 meters long, can basically be completed. There is only a few finishing touches left, so there is no need for so many people.

The construction of wooden houses in the camp area at the top of the hill is a little slower, taking about a week. The space here is limited and only two to three hundred people are needed.

Richard was quite satisfied with the progress of the project and couldn't help but smile.

He looked across the hot construction site and saw the musketeers in the mountain col ahead, who were lined up neatly following the training of French military instructors, and nodded secretly.

He needs the Chinese armed forces to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Since there are enough manpower, he simply lets the guys concentrate on military training and does not need to participate in the construction.

After walking around for a long time, Richard saw a cavalryman coming on horseback, so he stood high on the hill and waited.

The cavalryman rode up the mountain, followed the gentle slope and crossed the two parapet defense lines to the top of the mountain, turned over and dismounted, quickly walked forward, knelt down on one knee, and reported back;

"Report to the president. The person who came is a messenger from the Agreement Hall. He has brought a handwritten letter from Lin Zhanyuan, the young gang leader of the Agreement Hall. He wants to present it to the president in person."

"Oh, then let the messenger come."

"As commanded."

The cavalryman clasped his hands in a salute and immediately turned around to send the message.

Richard didn't want the other party to see the construction situation on the top of the mountain, so he walked down the gentle slope. The Chinese workers passing by along the way gave way and stood on both sides with respectful expressions and bowed down to salute.

This series of measures taken by the Datang Association were heartily supported by the Chinese workers. Richard took advantage of this general trend and took off, virtually becoming the leader of the Chinese workers and gaining the basic base of a force.

While Richard secretly rejoiced, he also knew clearly;

In this wild western land where the strong are respected, only by relying on armed forces and the development of Chinese forces as the basic base can we gain a firm foothold and create a world.

The relationship between the two parties is that of fish and water. Without fish and water, there will be no life, and without water, the fish will die.

Therefore, removing the big stone blocking the road, the Agreement Hall, is the only way for the development of Datang Society.

Richard could not tolerate evil gangs like the Accord Hall and share the leadership of the Chinese workers group with him. In this three-thirds of an acre of land in San Francisco, the presence of the Tang Association was enough.

Go to the foot of the mountain

Just as two soldiers were escorting Liu Wu to the nearby area, Richard waved his hand and asked them to go back and guard the other prisoners, leaving Liu Wu alone.

"Brother Liu Wu, you won't blame me for cutting off your escape, right?"

"Thanks to the Chairman for being so considerate, Liu Wuqu's life will be sold to the Chairman from now on. He is willing to lead his horse to the ground and follow him around. I just hope that the Chairman will not dislike it."

"You are a sensible person. Although you are still a little unwilling in your heart now, you will definitely understand in the future that following the Tang Association is a bright and smooth path."

"The younger ones don't dare. Only the elders will follow suit."

"Well, do you know the words?"

"Reporting to the president, I am a proficient in writing and can read the imperial newspaper. I also know some simple Western writing."

"What kind?"

"It's English. I was bored on the boat when I went to Southeast Asia, and I just learned it from foreigners."

"So... can foreigners understand newspapers?"

"Reporting to the president, I don't have enough English vocabulary to understand everything. I can roughly figure out the meaning even by guessing."

"Yes, he is a thoughtful person." Richard nodded and said thoughtfully.

He had already seen before that there was a cleverness in this reckless man named Liu Wu.

It is easy for others to be deceived by his rugged and bearded image, thinking that he is a carefree and loyal man, but they are surprised.

In order to save his own life, Liu Wu not only sold the Agreement Hall, but also revealed many secrets without retaining even a cent.

This kind of behavior is a naked betrayal. According to the gang rules, you have to open the incense hall with three swords and six holes, or you can beat him to death with sticks and throw his body into the Pacific Ocean.

knowingly so

Liu Wu still did this, because the Agreement Hall is a gangster society with family blood connections as its core, and he, a person with a foreign surname, will never be able to get ahead here.

A good bird chooses a tree to roost in. This is the way of a wise man.

That being the case

Richard helped him cut off the relationship more thoroughly, and put an end to Liu Wu's repeated thoughts.

not far away

Cavalry captain Gao Shiheng led a few people and escorted two couriers to the front. When they passed the Shanhaiguan Wall construction site, he got off his horse and escorted the couriers on foot.

Liu Wu and Li Cha stood together, one step behind to show their humility. When they saw the person coming, they quietly stepped forward and said;

"President, I recognize these two guys here. One is Lin Zhanhao's brother-in-law, the one with fairer skin. His name is Mai Fusheng. Although he looks like a human, he is a man who has done many bad things and has pus on his soles. douchebag.

Relying on the influence of brother-in-law Hao, he engaged in eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling, cheating, and all kinds of evil, so bad that he even cheated his own brothers.

Especially when it came to killing the girls in the brothel, his methods were the most vicious and he did the most evil. No less than 10 people died in his hands.

The other one is called Xiazai, but he is a kind-hearted and righteous man, and he will not join in the sins of others. He is bloody and responsible."

After hearing this, Richard nodded slightly, his eyes sharply focused on the face of Mai Fusheng, who had a fairer complexion, and the cold light in his eyes flashed away.
