"You can be elected by the township party, and you must be the wisest of the workers in each township."

Everyone carries the flower sedan chair.

After Dong Liang said this, the few people felt a little embarrassed, but their impression of Dong Liang was a little better.

"I have met Mr. Dong." The few of them worshiped each other.

My husband is a respectful title for scholars in the countryside.

Everyone learned from Chen Deli that Dong Liang was a scholar. Although he had no fame, he was also superior to him in their eyes.

"You don't have to be too polite." Dong Liang hurried forward and helped his hands.

"I would like to thank Mr. Dong for taking the lead this time, otherwise I would not know how long I would live if I was trapped on the boat." Chen Deli said with a grateful look.

He has seen the world, unlike these ordinary farmers, who can't even say a few words.

Dong Liang asked a few people to introduce himself.

In addition to Chen Deli, the other five are Nan'an Guo You, Anxi Linyue, Hui'an Pengneng, Longxi Wang Su, and Longyan Linben.

In just a few short sentences, Li Sixing could see that most of them were the duty men.

Peng Neng and Lin Ben also worked as craftsmen in addition to farming.

Most of these people are in their twenties, probably because they were selected because they were a little older than their fellow villagers.

"Everyone, let me introduce our current situation first. The ship under our feet is called the "Baoen", which will take us to a place called San Francisco. The voyage from Xiamen to San Francisco will take two months."

"In addition, what the client said when recruiting workers is a scam."

No one looked at Dong Liang in disbelief, as if he was a little unbelievable.

Dong Liang took out a contract, which was written in foreign language, in duplicate, and each Chinese worker had one.

"Mr. Dong Xianggong, what is written on it? The guest originally said that the travel expenses are free. When you arrive, you will get a guaranteed salary of ten taels of silver every month. You can come back in three years." Guo You, a native of Nan'an, asked.

Everyone also took out the contract on their bodies, and they didn't know a single word except the handprints they pressed on.

They all heard Dong Liang's voice in foreign language just now, and expected that he would understand it.

"This contract is a scam. As mentioned above, the employer paid the ship owner 150 US dollars as the shipping fee, which was about 100 taels of silver. This fee is considered to be something we owe employers and have to repay it with our own labor, but the local wages do not have ten taels of silver."

"Also, the contract says that at that time, whether you go to a factory or a farm, the food and accommodation costs will be deducted from our wages. Before paying off the debt, everyone has no personal freedom."

Dong Liang pointed to the content of the contract and explained it patiently to everyone.

Everyone became more angry the more they listened. The black coal mines didn't bring such tricks.

"This is just a fool to cheat us. They set the wages and food and accommodation. As long as they set the cost of food and accommodation, wouldn't we never have freedom in our entire lives?"

Chen Deli said with an atmosphere, he had gone out of the sea and saw the world, and he could see the tricks in it all at once.

"Yes, and I asked the foreign crew members that in the past, less than half of them could reach their destination alive when they transported laborers, which means that half of us would die on the boat, and the other half would work for foreigners until they died, and they could not get a penny." Dong Liang continued.

"Mr. Dong, thanks to your discovery of the foreigners' tricks, someone said just now that he shouldn't rob a ship, it would be great to go to work for foreigners honestly," said Long Yan Linben.

He is a honest man with dark skin and medium figure. His braids have been cut off and he has a big flat head left.

"What Brother Lin said is understandable. If you can survive, no one wants to cause trouble. But foreigners are forcing us to death. Everyone has family members. They originally expected us to go out to sea to find a way out, but now the family has no labor to work and no money. How can the family live?"

"Yes, what Mr. Dong said is that if we die, we will have to seize the ship. The court should be fair to us." Peng Neng, a man from Hui'an, said.

Dong Liang did not believe that the court could help them uphold justice, but now he is not able to pour cold water on these people.

Everyone discussed and recommended Dong Liang as the captain and took everyone home.

Every Chinese has nostalgia in his heart.

Going home, this is what everyone expects.

Dong Liang also wants to go back and see this world more than a hundred years ago.

But his heart was full of worries. This was the darkest era in the entire Chinese history.

After these people returned, they told their fellow villagers what Dong Liang said.

At least we must unify the idea of ​​seizing the ship before we can talk about other things.

On the deck, Chinese workers who had just had a full meal gathered here on the township party.

At this time, the ship had already changed its course.

Captain Blasen was hung on the mast, his clothes were stripped naked, leaving only a pair of underwear.

Dong Liang collected the clothes on the ship and distributed them to ordinary workers.

"Let me go, you savage monkeys."

Blasen was hung up and his mouth kept cursing.

"Bring all the sailors up." Dong Liang ordered.

The first mate Richard and the other sailors were all taken to the deck and stood in two rows.

"Blaisson illegally trafficked slaves and murdered Chinese workers. According to the Qing Dynasty, I will be sentenced to death. According to the convention on the ship, I will be sentenced as the captain."

At this time, Dong Liang had already changed into a clean white shirt, light green trousers on his lower body, a cowhide belt around his waist, and a revolver hung on the side of the belt.

This outfit was found from the captain's room.

Blasen's life is very particular, and the captain's room has a lot of clothes.

"No, I am the captain. You have no right to sentence me." Blaison was still shouting.

Dong Liang had ordered people to remove the round wooden stake under his feet.

Next, starting with the first mate, each foreign crew member took turns to step forward and stab Bry's son.

The first mate Richard was a timid and afraid of death. When he saw that the stubborn sailor Vicksman had his throat cut by Dong Liang's knife, he immediately expressed his willingness to do things for Dong Liang.

It was him who took the sailors to turn the merchant ship.

At this time, there were twenty-three foreign crew members left on the ship, which was enough to maintain the control of the merchant ship.

With each person's knife, Blasen's body covered with hair turned into a hornet's nest, and blood flowed out through the holes.

Next, although Dong Liang released these white sailors free, he confiscated their weapons and assigned ten followers to each foreign crew member.

There is nothing wrong with the ship now. These Chinese workers can learn to drive the boat with foreigners, and at the same time supervise them.

The first mate Richard followed Dong Liang and explained his navigation knowledge to Dong Liang.

After changing into a white shirt and trousers, Dong Liang regained his elegant temperament.

But when he remembered Dong Liang's indifference when he used a knife to wipe his long neck, Richard couldn't help but feel scared.

"Richard, do it well. You are my first mate now and you must cheer me up."

"Yes, Captain."

Dong Liang is the only person who can communicate with them.

Richard naturally didn't dare to have any more thoughts, and Blasson's body was still hanging from the mast.

Under the sea breeze, the corpse is like a pendulum.

Everyone chatted on the deck, telling the excitement in their hearts.

In the rear cabin, the strong man who was still killing all directions on the deck just now sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest.

He seemed to be indifferent to the outside world. And behind him were a few children, holding the food he had just distributed.

Dong Liang found six managers again. He wanted to strike while the iron was hot and further control the four hundred Chinese workers.

"Brother Chen, brothers." Dong Liang's tone was very polite.

"I just asked Richard that the boat was heading for the wind when it returned, it was easy to deviate, and it took more time, which took about half a month. In order to avoid accidents, I plan to set up a guard team, with tentatively two hundred people, and the others were divided into life groups and sailor groups."

"There are currently 200 sailors, which is a bit too many, so it is inconvenient to work, so fifty people are assigned to the living group."

If these people were allowed to be organized together as a township party, it would be difficult for Dong Liang to control it.

He wants to further refine the grouping and try to disrupt the grouping without them noticing it.

"Fifty people in the living group are responsible for managing the supplies on the ship, preparing everyone's food, cleaning and caring for sick workers." Dong Liang continued.

After discussing with everyone, Dong Liang arranged for the oldest and honest Lin Ben to be responsible for the life group.

The sailor team was 150 people responsible for taking care of foreign sailors and learning the art of boat training.

Chen Deli was the only one among the people who had experience going out to sea, so he was responsible.

With four remaining people, Guo You serves as Chen Deli's deputy.

Lin Yue, Peng Neng, Wang Su and Dong Xingfu became the squadron leader of the guard team.

Two hundred people were divided into four squadrons and twenty squadrons by Dong Liang.
