Wild North America 1846

Chapter 15 The Messenger
Li Cha's eyesight is very good, and he can clearly see that the person who comes is dressed as a Chinese gunman. Needless to say, this must be someone from the Agreement Hall.

6 capable subordinates were killed, including Lin Zhanhao, the leader of the North American branch, and Lin Ada, the leader of the second road incense.

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

Now there are still 13 members of the Agreement Hall in the hands of the Datang Club. If they don’t get back after losing such a big face, the Agreement Hall will not be in San Francisco anymore, and they will be crushed to death.

The security checkpoint at Taniguchi also spotted the person coming, and the cavalry captain Gao Shiheng led more than 10 cavalry to meet him without any orders, and stopped the person 2 kilometers away.

Li Cha withdrew his gaze;
There are only so few people in the Agreement Hall, so it is obviously not a war, and it will not be too late to deal with it later to see what regulations they come up with.

The top of the hill in front of you

After a morning of leveling by hundreds of people, a semicircular site of about 600 square meters, about one mu, has been leveled. The foundation of a circle of houses has been dug, and stones are being filled into it as the foundation of the house.

These stones are all crushed stones by the river, loaded on a four-wheeled carriage, pulled up by two horses along the gentle slope, and can be pulled all the way to the construction site on the top of the hill, and the crushed stones are evenly sprinkled on the foundation. A group of 4 people work together Use thick wooden pier to pier.

Dozens of young men from the chainsaw team were sawing wood in twos and twos, shouting labor chants and working hard.

This is a matter of everyone's personal safety, and everyone feels that it should be done with more effort, and no one is cheating or cheating.

The sawn boards form a "well" shape, and there are gaps between the boards, and a bonfire is lit in the middle to bake.

Anyway, there were a lot of waste wood sawed down. Seeing that the bonfire was weak, I filled in some waste wood and burned it again. The bonfire continued day and night.

The Chinese laborers in each group are led by leaders who are responsible for building houses and tree planting. The construction work is progressing in an orderly manner.

From the accumulated timber, it can be seen that the progress of the logging team is obviously faster than that of the construction team, and a sufficient amount of logs can be accumulated after almost finishing work tomorrow.

Three days
With the concerted efforts of more than a thousand builders, the main body of the 170-meter-long Shanhaiguan Wall can basically be completed, and there is no need for so many people to finish the work.

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

Li Cha was quite satisfied with the progress of the project, and a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

He looked over the fiery construction site and saw musketeers lined up neatly in the col ahead, following the training of French military instructors, and nodded secretly.

He needed the Chinese armed forces to form a combat capability as soon as possible. Since there were enough manpower, he simply let the guys concentrate on military training instead of participating in the construction.

After walking around for a long time, Li Cha saw a cavalryman approaching on a galloping horse, so he stood high on the hill and waited.

The cavalry rode up the mountain, followed the gentle slope and crossed the two parapet defense lines to the top of the mountain, turned off his horse, walked forward quickly, knelt down on one knee, and replied;
"Report to the president. The person who came is the messenger of the Agreement Hall. He brought a letter written by Lin Zhanyuan, the young leader of the Agreement Hall. The person asked to present it to the president."

"Oh, let the messenger come over then."

"As ordered."

The cavalry bowed with fists in both hands, and immediately turned around to send a message.

Li Cha 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 who passed along the way backed down one after another, standing on both sides with respectful expressions and bowing down to salute.

The series of measures taken by the Datang Association were heartily supported by the Chinese laborers. Li Cha took advantage of this general trend to take off, and virtually became the leader of the Chinese laborers, with a foundation of power.

While Li Cha was secretly delighted, he also knew clearly;
In this wild western land where the strong are respected, only by relying on arming and developing Chinese forces as the basic base can we gain a firm foothold and create a world.

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

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

Richard can't tolerate gangster forces like the Agreement Hall, and share the leadership of the Chinese labor group with him. On the three-acre land in San Francisco, the Datang Society is enough.

go to the foot of the mountain

It happened that two soldiers escorted Liu Wu to a nearby place. Li Cha waved his hand and told them to go back to guard the other prisoners, leaving Liu Wu alone.

"Brother Liu Wu, you don't blame me for breaking your back, do you?"

"Thanks to the chairman's respect, Liu Wu's mere life will be sold to the chairman from now on. He is willing to lead the horse and sit around, and only ask the chairman not to dislike him."

"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 Dynasty is a bright and smooth path."

"The little ones don't dare, but the elders follow suit."

"Well, can you read?"

"Reporting to the President, the young man is proficient in Chinese and ink, and can understand the imperial court newspaper, and also understand some simple Western Chinese."

"What kind?"

"It's English. When I went to Nanyang, I was bored on the boat, and I learned it from foreigners."

"Then...do foreigners understand newspapers?"

"Reporting to Mr. Chairman, the vocabulary of small English is not enough to understand everything. Even guessing and guessing can roughly figure out the meaning."

"Yes, he is a caring person." Li Cha nodded and said thoughtfully.

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

Others are easily deceived by his rough and bearded image, thinking that he is a carefree and loyal man, who would be surprised.

In order to save his own life, Liu Wu not only sold out the agreement hall, but also confessed all the secrets without keeping half of it.

This kind of behavior is blatant betrayal. According to gang rules, the Xiangtang should be opened three times and six holes, or directly beaten to death with sticks, and the body should be thrown into the Pacific Ocean.

Knowing so
Liu Wu still did this because the agreement hall is a gangster society with family blood connections as the core. He is a man with a foreign surname, and he will never make his mark here.

Good birds choose trees to live in, this is the way of sensible people.

In that case
Li Cha helped him break it down thoroughly, and put an end to Liu Wu's repeated thoughts.

not far away

The cavalry captain Gao Shiheng brought several people and escorted two messengers to the front. When he passed the Shanhaiguan wall construction site, he got off his horse and escorted the messengers.

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 recognize the two guys who came here. One is Lin Zhanhao's brother-in-law, and the one with fairer skin is called Mai Fusheng. Don't look like a dog. This is a man who has done all kinds of bad things and has pus on the soles of his feet." douchebag.

Relying on brother-in-law Hao's influence, he eats, drinks, whores, gambles, cheats, kidnaps and commits all sorts of crimes, so bad that even his own brothers are cheated.

Especially for the cruelty of the girls in the brothel, his methods were the most vicious and he did the most evil, and no less than 10 people died in his hands.

The other is called Xia Zai, but he is a kind and righteous man, and he will not join other people, he is bloody and responsible. "

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