Wild North America 1846

Chapter 5 Haircuts for the purpose

The young man recovered quickly. After eating and drinking enough, Li Cha put on the leather belt again, inserted the Colt revolver, and went out along the grassy slope.

On the open space at the entrance of the village

At this time, a large number of people gathered and were discussing livelyly. Someone saw Li Cha striding over and shouted, "Be quiet, Master Li Cha is here."

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.

The crowd fell silent in an instant, and involuntarily moved out of the way. Everyone was looking at Li Cha with terrified and uneasy eyes, and there was a trace of enthusiasm.

The Chinese immigrant groups here come from all over the world, including southern Fujian, Zhangzhou, Foshan, Hakka, Chaoshan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places. They have different dialects, and it is difficult to be united.

After all
The Chinese are an ethnic group with a strong sense of geography. They are accustomed to relying on their own people, and it is difficult to get close to foreigners with different accents.

Although they are all black-eyed, black-haired, and yellow-skinned Chinese, but in the middle of the 18th century when nationalism did not prevail, Chinese immigrants were divided into small circles divided by regions one after another, and it was difficult to twist into a single rope.

Over time

Caucasians know the character traits of the Chinese, they are hard-working but lack blood, they are not united internally, they will endure everything, and when they go out, they follow the principle that more things are worse than less things, so they are easier to bully.

This is like the large herd of bison on the South American wasteland. Although they are all fat and strong, driven by the wild wolves, they will only flee in panic.

And those old, weak, sick and disabled bison will be swarmed by wild wolves and torn to pieces.

Following the opening where the crowd parted, Li Cha strode in and looked left and right.

Dai Changfu was surrounded by the crowd, with Ferguz's body lying on the ground beside him, which made Dai Changfu's words very convincing, and the preaching effect was also very good.

"Young Master, you are here. There are dozens of great young men here who are willing to work with us." Dai Changfu greeted him graciously, with joy in his eyes.

"Well, we'll talk about this later." Li Cha nodded calmly.

He knows that Chinese immigrants have been bullied by white people in the past two years. Almost everyone has the experience of being robbed of the gold sand they found.

Taking money from someone is like killing your parents.

The reason why I chose to endure the anger is because the white people are powerful, have more horses and more guns, and they will definitely suffer losses if they insist on doing it.

And no one takes the lead, so what can a few fellow villagers achieve?
If you beat it to death and throw it into the deep mountains and old forests, you can't even hear the sound, so it's better to swallow your breath and live with it.

Now that Li Cha is rising rapidly, especially in the Old Bar Tavern, he killed seven members of the Ferguz gang in a row, showing his formidable marksmanship, which gave hope to the passionate Chinese young man, and naturally many people were willing to follow him.

In this Wild West, if you have strength, you will have persuasion.

Li Cha looked down at Ferguz's blood-stained corpse, then raised his head again, looking around everyone with sharp eyes.

Under his sharp gaze, many people lowered their heads in guilt.

"I am Richard, the patron of the Chinese gold diggers in San Francisco, and I will organize an armed cavalry team belonging to the Chinese to protect every Chinese gold digger.

from now on

Whether it's white or Mexican or Indian, don't try to bully us, and don't try to squeeze a big son out of us.

I said this in front of the young and old today, with every mouthful and nail. As for whether it can be done, I invite all the young and old present to witness together.

Whoever dares to snatch your sands, I, Li Cha's armed cavalry, will be responsible for chasing them back and returning them as they are.

Whoever dares to beat our people, I, Li Cha's armed cavalry, will retaliate redoubled and let him know that we Chinese are not easy to mess with, and muskets are also deadly.

We are all Chinese with yellow skin, black hair and black eyes, with the same blood. We are the descendants of the Eastern Dragon, and we are the civilized race of the Heavenly Kingdom.

From now on
I am the leader of all the Chinese, and I will lead you to create a new situation in this fertile North American land and build a rich and stable beautiful home..."

"Hey hey hey... You've really learned a lot. That bastard who jumped out of the cracks in the rocks wants to be our leader. You've been pissing too much, right?"

Suddenly, a strange voice sounded, and Li Cha looked over with sharp eyes. At this time, the people surrounding him retreated one after another, revealing a strong man who was speaking.

This is a strong man in his 30s, with his bare and strong arms folded in front of his chest, and a piece of green grass stalk biting in his mouth, looking like he is not stingy.

He slanted his eyebrows and looked over, meeting Li Cha's sharp gaze without fear.

This man wears a five-finger-wide cowhide belt around his waist, and a revolver is stuck next to his right leg. There are two helpers beside him, who are equally strong and strong, with a revolver and a sharp knife on his waist. , looked over with provocative eyes, looking like a person from the world.

"Wow, no, it's from the Protocol Hall."

"Which agreement hall? Are you talking about those gangs that do evil and sell pigs and flowers?"

"Keep your voice down. I know this Lin Ada. I heard that he is the Second Fragrance Master of the Agreement Hall. He has many lives under his command, and he is also a ruthless person."

"This is troublesome, it's a hard stubble."

The surrounding Chinese are talking about it, and the agreement hall has a notorious reputation, how could everyone not know about it?They stepped back a little more with fearful expressions, obviously afraid of getting into trouble.

Lin Ada was even more elated after hearing everyone's discussion, he was not ashamed, but proud, and said arrogantly;

"Boy who hasn't even grown hair yet, how much wine did you drink to become a stick in Grape Valley? You're really delusional, have you asked the man?"

"You object?" Li Cha asked in a cold voice.

"Wow...you can see this. He is obviously a smart person. I don't change my name when I go, and I don't change my surname when I sit. Thanks to the appreciation of the young gang leader, Lin Ada, the North American sub-ruler of the Agreement Hall, specializes in injustice in the world. Something. On this three-acre land in San Francisco, you kid wants to get big, open the door and set up a stick, have you asked the master?"

"Pull the gun!"

"What……"

The villain died because of talking too much, Li Cha didn't have time to flirt with him, his right hand naturally drooped, and the revolver near his leg was already a clear signal.

Not only Lin Ada understood it, but even the Chinese gold diggers who were watching around understood it. This is the prelude to a duel!
The crowd scattered in all directions, leaving Lin Ada and the three of them alone in place. The two sides faced each other far away, and the village was instantly filled with a chilling atmosphere.

The distance between the two sides was about [-] to [-] meters. With such a distance, for the powerful revolver, as long as they did not die, they would be seriously injured.

Lin Ada was immediately startled by this battle, his face twitched and trembled a few times, and he wanted to say some more harsh words, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't speak.

This kid is so reckless, how can there be a reason for life and death if there is a disagreement?
If we all play like this, with so many disputes every day, wouldn't the gang be completely dead?

Dai Changfu and other four gunmen also rushed over after hearing the news, staring at each other in a semi-surrounded state, ready to shoot at any time.

"No need, just watch it."

Li Cha said something coldly, and when Dai Changfu and the others were taken aback in amazement, he drew his gun like lightning and fired.

"Papa Papa" shot three times in a row

After the thick black gunpowder smoke drifted away, Lin Ada and the three standing opposite had just put their hands on the holsters, and before they had time to draw out their guns, their bodies were shocked almost indiscriminately, blood splattered, and their eyes were unbelievably dim Come down, fell limply on the ground.

These three shots all hit the vital points in the chest, and a large stream of blood spewed out, which made the smell of blood in the air stronger, making people want to vomit.

Adding up the time before and after, it seemed that it was less than a second, which was too fast!
"So... who else is against it now?"

Li Chahan's bone-piercing voice rang out, which made the spines of the surrounding Chinese feel scared, and said in a panic;

"Master Li Cha, we all support you as the leader. We will do whatever you say, without any stumbling."

"No opinion, we all have no opinion."

"Yeah, from now on you will be our leader. It's better to follow you than to be bullied by ghosts, or to be bullied by the bastards in the agreement hall. Let's go all out."

"We Chaoshan fellows have long had enough of the evil spirits of ghosts, and we will follow you without saying anything."

Under the oppression of the invisible momentum, everyone expressed their opinions in a mess, and almost the whole family agreed with it, and no one dared to object.

Li Cha nodded slightly, satisfied with the effect of the opponent's shot, and inserted the hot barrel of the revolver into the holster.

Gunners duel
What we are fighting for is the one-tenth of a second opportunity, the first to fire and the first to hit the enemy, that is the difference between life and death.

His hand speed was extremely fast just now, almost when the three opponents had just touched the holster, he had already pulled the trigger to fire, and then his left hand turned into an afterimage, pulled the hammer twice in a row, and fired two bullets again.

at first glance

It seemed as if three guns exploded in succession, and the single-action revolver was shot by him with the effect of a burst gun, shocking everyone in one fell swoop.

This shot made him feel more comfortable, much more confident than the shootout at the Old Bar Tavern, and he had more confidence.

Pause for a while

Li Cha walked forward more than ten steps, and saw that the other party was indeed dead, so he picked up a sharp half-foot short blade beside the corpses of Lin Ada and the other three, and tried the blade with his hand. Very sharp.

"I just said half of what I said, but I was interrupted by this dead ghost from the Laoshizi Agreement Hall. I won't repeat what I have already said, and I have to finish the following words."

Li Cha held a beautiful saber in his hand. When he was talking, the surroundings were silent, and the needles could be heard.

These fellow Chinese now have more fear than admiration for him. Although Li Cha is young, the fierceness revealed all over his body is really chilling, and he can't bear the slightest thought of resistance.

"Since you are protected by me, you must abide by my rules, and our armed cavalry must have a name. After thinking about it, the ghosts call us "Tang Ren".

So……

Let's call it the "Datang Society". I am the leader of the "Datang Society" and the protector of the gold diggers in San Francisco. Every Chinese must join my "Datang Society" in order to be protected.

Just now I heard from Chang Fu that there are dozens of brothers who want to join the club, that's very good, then I will accept them all.

The cavalry team of the Datang Society must be equipped with mounts, long spears, short spears, and saddle lassoes. The brothers need to eat and drink, and they cannot work for everyone.

Therefore, Chinese gold diggers who join the association every month have to pay $5, and the gold diggers will be protected by the "Datang Club".

But for the discovery of gold veins and dog head gold, the "Datang Club" must take a certain percentage of the commission. This is because once there is a war with the whites or the Mexicans, the brothers who are injured or killed in the battle will have to have compensation silver, and that amount of money will not be enough. .

In addition, the "Datang Club" will also provide property deposit services. Even if you store the sand you scoured in the club, don't worry about any loss. There will be a special person in the club to issue a voucher, which can be used at any time. "

Speaking of here
Li Cha paused for a while to let everyone digest the rules he just said, and seeing that there were no objections from the people present, he prepared to strike while the iron was hot, and did the following things together.

"Since I have joined my "Da Tang Hui", I must have characteristics that distinguish me from other Chinese. Today, I, Li Cha, took the lead and cut my hair to show my ambition;
Those who dare to openly offend our Tang Dynasty will be punished even if they are thousands of miles away. "

Finished
Li Cha reached out to take off the gray woolen cowboy hat on his head, and with a flash of the shiny knife in his hand, he cut off the braids on the back of his head, and the jet-black hair fluttered away, adding an extra sense of wildness.
