In order to win over people to join him in revolt, Zhu Hongyu was not vague at all in making promises like this with just a touch of lip service.
Five pairs of big hands held each other tightly, and Zhu Hongyu said firmly.
"Together we live and die together, and we share wealth and honor!"
Four people responded.
"Together we live and die together, and we share wealth and honor!"
…
Zhu Hongyu assassinated Korla and framed the blame on Jales, which made the supervisors wary of each other.
When people are at odds, the supervisors are wary of each other, and naturally there is less monitoring of the miners.
In addition, Michael, the captain of the overseer, arranged for the manpower to send the "murderer" Jales to the Governor's Palace in Manila for punishment.
The number of supervisors at the mine has decreased by several people.
Adding the two together, the supervisors' level of monitoring of the miners has been greatly reduced.
It is precisely because of this that Zhu Hongyu and others were able to successfully connect the miners who wanted to revolt without alerting the supervisors.
After two full days of communication, most of the miners in the mine who wanted to revolt were connected by Zhu Hongyu.
…
On this day, after nightfall.
Zhu Hongyu, Li Guangyuan, Shi Yongxin, Liu Shantai, Hu Dinggao and Wang Youcai gathered in the same shack to discuss the plan for the uprising.
A trusted person outside the shack is watching!
Zhu Hongyu glanced around and said.
"Our manpower is almost ready now!"
"We can't wait any longer, otherwise things will change!"
"Let's do it when the sun rises and darkens tomorrow!"
Li Guangyuan asked.
"Brother Yu, what is the specific plan?"
Zhu Hongyu signaled Li Guangyuan to calm down with his eyes and said.
"In the past two nights, I have visited the mine several times!"
He picked up a few stones from the ground and used tree branches to draw a map on the ground.
Place stones on the map to indicate the locations of the mine sentries, warehouses, and supervisors' living quarters.
Zhu Hongyu said.
"There are a total of forty-two supervisors in the mine, but the night before yesterday I assassinated one supervisor named Korla and blamed the incident on another supervisor named Jales."
"Michael, the captain of the overseer, sent five men to take the murderer Yales to the Governor's Palace in Manila. Now the five men have not returned."
"In other words, there are only thirty-five supervisors in the mine now, which is the best time for us to start an uprising!"
"If we want to start an uprising, the first thing we should do is not go to the supervisor's living area to kill people, but go to the warehouse!"
"There are a total of six warehouses in the mine, and the four warehouses store ore and copper ingots."
"There are two warehouses left. One stores food, and the other stores weapons. There are muskets, swords, and a lot of gunpowder."
"The first thing we need to do is to take down those sentries, and then take down the warehouse where the weapons are stored!"
"As long as we get weapons and our numerical advantage, the uprising will be mostly successful!"
Shi Yongxin said.
"What happens after the uprising is successful? Are we going to attack Manila?"
Zhu Hongyu twitched the corners of his mouth and shook his head.
“No fight against Manila!”
"There are thousands of red-haired troops stationed in Manila, as well as muskets and artillery. We cannot defeat them."
"If we want to fight, we'll hit the Spanish hacienda outside Manila!"
"Those Spanish manors are full of wealth. As long as we can break one, we will have money to recruit troops!"
"Now there are a lot of Chinese in Jiannei. As long as you have money, you can raise an army!"
"We'll talk about the fight against Manila when we have more people!"
Everyone nodded and expressed their belief.
…
It's dark, it's just before dawn!
As the morning sun slowly rises from the horizon, golden sunlight fills the entire mine.
It's not that Zhu Hongyu didn't want to suddenly cause trouble at night, but that he couldn't do it.
Although he does not suffer from night blindness, most miners do.
If something really happened at night, most of the people would be lost before they could get from the mine to where the overseer lived.
Therefore, they can only rise up in the dark hours.
This is the time when people are most asleep. Taking action at this time will definitely catch the supervisors off guard.
Zhu Hongyu called everyone together, and more than a hundred miners who were determined to revolt gathered together.
These are the most rebellious people in the mine!
If Zhu Hongyu wants to cause trouble, he can only rely on them, and no one else can.
Zhu Hongyu made arrangements.
"Pick a few skilled ones and follow me to take down the overseer's sentry."
"The remaining people are led by Shi Yongxin, Li Guangyuan, Liu Shantai, Wang Youcai, and Hu Dinggao to capture the sixth warehouse!"
The sixth warehouse is the warehouse where the overseer stores weapons.
…
Today is Solo's night shift, but as the sky gets brighter, his tense spirit relaxes.
The man leaned against the wall and closed his eyes involuntarily.
Not long after, a steady purring sound came out!
Life in the mine is very monotonous. When the supervisors first come to the mine, they may be wary for a while.
But after they stayed in the mine for a long time and got used to the obedience and weakness of the Chinese miners, they became less wary.
This is the case with Soro. As an old man who has been in the mines for several years, he does not think that the cowardly Chinese dare to resist their powerful Spaniards.
It was dawn, and the warm and bright sun gave him a great sense of security.
He was just going to be lazy and close his eyes to rest for a while, and soon fell asleep.
Zhu Hongyu glanced at the sentry not far away, glanced at the people behind him, and then he touched it with a dagger in his hand.
The remaining people went to several other sentries respectively.
Zhu Hongyu reached behind Solo, covered his mouth with one hand to prevent him from screaming, and stabbed the dagger into his heart with the other hand, stirring it vigorously.
Under the severe pain, the sleeping Zoro opened his eyes, his expression was ferocious and twisted, and he saw an oriental face with black hair, black eyes and a stern face.
Feeling his consciousness gradually losing, Solo really couldn't figure out how the cowardly Chinese miners dared to resist?!
However, it was meaningless for him to think about it, because his heart had been pierced and he gradually lost consciousness.
Zhu Hongyu always likes to stab the heart when killing people, rather than the fancy slitting of the throat.
Because he knew that even if you cut the throat and cut the trachea and the aorta together, the person would not die for a while.
Even if the rescue is timely, he can be saved.
Therefore, cutting one's throat to kill someone is an insult to one's intelligence.
Cutting one's throat can indeed kill people, but it will never be like in the TV series, where one slits one's throat and the person dies instantly.
If you want to kill someone quickly, you have to use a dagger to cut off the person's spine and cut off their head.
Otherwise, piercing the heart is the most efficient method of killing!
The heart is punctured and stirred again, destroying the structure of the ventricle and atrium, and the person dies within ten or twenty seconds.
Zhu Hongyu took the lead in clearing out the supervisor's sentry, the obstacles were cleared, and the large troops quickly passed through and headed for the warehouse area.
Zhu Hongyu ordered Shi Yongxin to lead a group of people to set fire to the residential area of the supervisors and create a disturbance to attract the attention of the supervisors.
The remaining people quickly rushed towards the warehouse area and seized the warehouse where weapons were stored.
