Chapter Fifty-Six: The Stowaway
"Don't move even if you put down your weapons." This is called out in English.
Is there a piglet who can speak English here?
This seems to be even more incredible than the change on the scene.
At the same time, several others also cooperated to control the first mate and three other sailors beside the captain. Only one sailor was killed and the ship was nailed to his neck.
Ah Fu looked embarrassed. He used too much force just now and poked the boat nail into someone's throat.
The white sailor was struggling with his hands covering his neck.
Afu, who had nothing to do, pressed his neck hard, so the white sailor died faster.
There were seven or eight sailors on the deck three meters away helping Chinese workers cut their braids.
When you see something happening here, you must pick up your rifle as soon as possible.
Obviously, they did not listen to Dong Liang's threat.
If they attacked each other, regardless of the captain's life and death, Dong Liang and the others would be in danger.
Just then.
No one expected that a Han man who had just cut off his braid suddenly rose up, grabbed the wrist of the sailor beside him, and sent the scissors from his hand into his chest.
Another foreign sailor picked up the rifle, which was equipped with a bayonet.
The sailor was also fierce and raised his gun and stabbed the man.
But this man grabbed the other party's barrel at an unexpected speed.
Then he pulled out the bayonet from the barrel.
The sailor was dragged forward by the rifle, and was stabbed into the chest by the man's backhand.
Next, the man killed two more times.
Not far away, a white sailor raised his gun and aimed at it, preparing to shoot directly.
At such a close distance, even if this person is a martial arts master, he can't escape.
As the saying goes, if the gun is outside the seven steps, the gun is fast, and if the gun is within seven steps, the gun is accurate and fast.
However, just as the white gunman was about to shoot.
"Bang..."
The white sailor fell down in response.
There were two more "bangs" sounds, and two other white sailors fell down.
Dong Liang sighed in his heart that the quality of the things produced by the Americans at this time was still good.
He was holding the captain's handmade Colt revolver.
As a professional captain, his pistol must be in a state of firing at any time.
In addition to the recoil and smoke, this gun is powerful and the accuracy of the rifled barrel is also OK.
Dong Liang hadn't touched the gun for many years, and he actually hit all three shots.
"Stop, damn, stop!"
This time it was not called by Dong Liang, but by Captain Blaise.
The sailors who found their rifles in panic stopped.
The captain's words were still effective. They were just merchant ships and had no determination to die.
Only then did Dong Liang see clearly the Chinese man not far away.
He is tall and burly, strong and strong, his muscles are tanned by the sun, and he has a healthy luster.
Because I didn't care for many days, there were inch-long hair on my head, clustered up, looking fierce and mighty. A three-inch-long scar on my left face exuded an unconcealable arrogant and domineering aura.
Dong Liang is sure that this is not an ordinary person, and no farmer can have such skills and momentum.
But why did this person get involved in the piglet team?
I don't have time to think about these for the time being.
Dong Liang looked at the man and began to deal with the crisis in front of him.
"Your captain has been controlled by me, everyone has put down their weapons, we just want to go home and will not harm your lives."
This is the importance of knowing a foreign language.
"Let me go, what are you going to do? This is a piracy. Are you not afraid of your government's punishment?"
Blaisen knew that Dong Liang was in English, so he shouted at Dong Liang.
Blasen has been trafficking piglets for so many years, but never made any mistakes. He didn't expect that this time he fell into the hands of piglets.
Although Blaisen was restrained by Dong Liang, his momentum was not diminished at all. He knew that Chinese were cowards and tried to scare them.
"Okay, Captain Blaise, you slave trader, have murdered so many Chinese workers, what qualifications do you have to tell me about the law? Work well, we will let you go after we get home." Dong Liang said to Blaise with a sarcastic look on his face.
These Americans like to use double standards.
Soon, all the Chinese workers were placed on the deck.
There were still 405 people in total, and the entire deck was densely packed.
These Chinese workers have different expressions, some are confused, some are excited, some are angry, and some are afraid.
Blasen and the remaining twenty sailors were tied to the middle.
Just now, the second mate took a few sailors and left a lifeboat and ran away.
There were only a dozen people around Dong Liang at that time, and he didn't care about them.
But here is a busy ocean, and lifeboats can't run far. A slightly larger storm can send them to the sea.
"Mr. Dong, everyone has come to the deck. Let's say a few words. If it weren't for you this time, everyone wouldn't be free again." Chen Deli said.
Dong Liang's mind and skills impressed him.
He was still a little dissatisfied when he asked Dong Liang to be the leader at the beginning.
But now he is really convinced.
Dong Liang was also very confused at this time.
I just came across this thing and encountered this.
But looking at more than 400 naked compatriots.
He felt a strong desire to protect himself.
The oldest of these people is no more than thirty years old, and Dong Liang even saw several children under ten years old.
They were all tricked into Xiamen and were originally going to be sent to San Francisco.
Many people are the pillars of the family.
They will be squeezed out the last drop of value in the white mines, farms.
Although they signed a labor contract.
But Dong Liang knew that as soon as they arrived at their destination, they would owe huge debts, and this money was their ship fee.
Those white people will use various means to make them never pay off their debts.
In addition, the contract allows employers to resell the contractual relationship, but in fact they are like slaves.
In the end, there were very few Chinese workers who could walk out of the mines and plantations alive.
"Brothers from Fujian Province, I am Dong Liang, Tong'an. Foreigners and gangsters colluded to trick everyone into boarding the boat, but in fact they sent me to wait overseas as slaves. If I waited for no resistance, everyone would either die on the boat or be a cow or horse for the foreigners for the rest of their lives. Dong Liang was useless scholar, so he could only do this bad strategy and take everyone to occupy the boat. I would help each other and go home together!"
"Yes, we want to go home." Chen Deli shouted with a stimulating mind.
At this time, the Chinese workers below realized that they would follow suit.
"If you can't go back, will you drive the boat? Do you know where we are now?" Blason said disdainfully.
His eyes were full of sarcasm.
"Mr. Bryson, please believe me, not everyone's heart is as hard as your mouth."
To calm the hearts of the people, Dong Liang arranged for everyone to clean the cabin, and Dong Xingfu and Chen Deli went to search for the entire ship together.
They found a place to stock up on food and prepared to have a full meal for the workers.
He himself asked several people to escort the captain, the first mate, the navigator and the captain's office.
The decor in the captain's room is luxurious and elegant, with a long table, which is probably the place where they usually eat and have dinner and meet.
Dong Liang sat on the chair and looked at the white men opposite him.
"Take Captain Blasson outside and hung it onto the mast, he is suspected of abducting people and killing laborers. I will execute him in front of everyone later."
Dong Liang said this in English, specifically for Blaisen.
He could see the first mate next to Blason and his long sailing legs trembling slightly.
Blason's eyes were full of disbelief and horror.
"No, I promised not to kill us, you liar!" Blasen's eyes were about to pop out. He shouldn't compromise with the robbers.
Dong Liang did not continue to talk nonsense to a few white people.
After the execution of Blasen a while.
Dong Liang believes that many people will make their own choices.
At this time, Chen Deli brought a few people in.
The people on this ship came from seven places: Tong'an, **, Nan'an, Anxi, Hui'an, Longxi and Longyan.
Dong Liang asked the workers from each place to select one person to participate in the meeting.
These people and Dong Liang formed a seven-person deliberation group, which was not considered a joint decision. It was mainly to facilitate Dong Liang to manage everyone.
