Chapter 33 To save yourself first, save others (various requests)

"them?"

Zhu Xianhai raised his eyebrows and asked anxiously.

"You mean, there were still people who didn't escape at that time?"

"That's for sure. The mine is so big, and more than a thousand people are not trying to make gold in the same place. Someone from our side escaped, and the others are still there? In the past two years, they have suffered many more crimes!"

Zhu Xianhai opened his eyes wide in shock.

"You mean, there are more than a thousand of us there!"

"That god-good Qing Yao sold two thousand people to foreign devils at one time, and replaced them with five hundred foreign guns..."

“Where are they?”

"Where can you be there? You're all sold to the mine!"

Zhu Xianhai asked one after another.

"Where is the mine? Where is it?"

...

Once I closed my eyes, I had a nightmare.

In the dream, Zhu Xianhai saw in the dense rain forest, with thin compatriots struggling in the mud, with whips constantly falling on them, wolf dogs barking, and even feeding on people.

Blood and muddy water mixed together, dyeing everything red.

"Why no one saves us..."

A dying voice echoed in the nightmare until Zhu Xianhai woke up from the dream.

Why no one saves us!

He woke up in with red eyes, looking panicked, and sweating on his back. He murmured to himself.

"For, why not save them!"

Staring ahead, Zhu Xianhai's eyes became firm. No matter what, those people were his compatriots!

...

gun!

Twenty Remington M1858 revolvers and sixty M1860 Henry rifles, they are all neatly placed in the box. These weapons are not expensive, just like the Remington M1858 revolver, which is just 15 pesos per, which is far lower than the price of the Colt revolver. If it is in the United States, the price will be cheaper. This wholesale price is the same as the retail price in the United States. However, the Henry rifle is really not cheap. One is 50 pesos, which is $50!

The more expensive one is the bullet - 100 rounds. 44-caliber Henry bullets, which require 5 pesos, and the price is far more than gunpowder, fire caps, and lead balls. However, the Henry bullets in the metal shell are loaded quickly and are not afraid of rain. There is no weapon that is more suitable for the rainforest than it.

Including modified pistols, these weapons cost Zhu Xianhai not much nearly 4,000 pesos. Now these weapons are placed in front of Li Fugui and others.

"Brother Zhu, what does this mean?"

Seeing the weapons moved from the carriage, Li Fugui and others were stunned.

“Willes Gold Mine!”

Zhu Xianhai said.

"I don't know what you think, but... since I knew that there were more than a thousand compatriots in the gold mine, who were bullied by the animals like animals, I couldn't sleep. I wanted to save them, but I couldn't do it alone!"

Zhu Xianhai looked at them and took out a stack of money from his arms.

"There are a few thousand pesos here. If you don't want to go, you can leave with two hundred pesos and buy a boat ticket to California. It costs about 20 pesos. From California to Shanghai or Hong Kong, it takes 30 pesos. The remaining silver is enough for you to go home. Let's get to know each other, and Zhu will never let you fall into a foreign country."

There is a gun on one side and a silver on the other side.

"Brother Zhu...this..."

Faced with such a choice, everyone was stunned. Li Fugui and the others looked at the gun, the money, and finally turned their eyes to Zhu Xianhai.

"What's this..."

Sun Hu took a step forward, picked up the gun and said.

"Brother Zhu and the brothers sold to the mine have never met each other, but they are willing to sacrifice their lives and save them. If we don't go, can we be worthy of those brothers?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Er said and said.

"Brother Zhu, if you don't want to fight anything else, just focus on what you did today. Our Wang Er's life will be yours from today to the future."

No one hesitated, no one went to get the pikes. They all chose guns, only Li Fugui stood there, leaning on a crutch, he glanced at his legs awkwardly, and then looked at Zhu Xianhai and said.

"Brother Zhu, this is a big brother, our brothers are calling you! I just don't know if you dislike me as a useless person."

Li Fugui's words made Zhu Xianhai smile.

"Can you shoot?"

"meeting!"

"Will that kill someone?"

"This is even better. What are our men doing? Rebel! Isn't it just killing people?"

"Yes, that's the reason, but! This time we have to let those white-skinned pigs taste our power!"

Zhu Xianhai looked at them and said.

"But before we go, we have to practice guns first. We have few people, so this is the only thing we can rely on!"

...

"Bao-Bao-Bao"

In the warehouse and factory, a dense gunfire sound came from the simple shooting range.

Accompanied by gunfire, waves of metal brittle sounds echoed in the factory, which were empty cans filled with targets.

"Bao,bao..."

Holding a Henry rifle and wearing a green military uniform, Zhu Xianhai kept pressing down the lever of the Henry rifle and shooting at the empty cans.

"Brother Zhu, good shooting skills!"

After a round of gunfire, there was a burst of praise around him. This was not a flattery. Zhu Xianhai's shooting skills were indeed good. This was the "primary shooting technology" blessed by the system's golden fingers.

"Brother Zhu, you're so quick-fire shot. I guess that if you put it over to the war, you'll be able to knock you down in just a blink of an eye. For one shot, those people still have a chance to wear a hand!"

"It's a sloppy, there's no advanced technology in shooting, it's just three points and one line. The bullets of Henry rifles like this are not very powerful and have little recoil. As long as you hold them firmly, three points and one line, within 100 meters, it basically means hitting that."

Zhu Xianhai explained to them with a gun that they were all wearing green military uniforms. The styles of the military uniforms were somewhat similar to those of later generations. They were specially customized in the tailor shop. Green is more suitable for hidden traces in the rain forest.

"You just need to practice more, remember, three points and one line..."

Standing beside them, Zhu Xianhai guided them one by one how to hold guns and aim.

They have all rebelled and killed people, but their marksmanship is hard to describe. Some have used muskets, some have used foreign guns, and of course, they have also used revolver guns. But it is certain that they have not undergone systematic shooting training.

They have never known about the three points and one line, and the adjustment of breathing. In fact, if there is no system blessing, Zhu Xianhai would not know it.

What is the easiest way to improve your shooting skills?

It is live-fire shooting. As long as you feed enough bullets, your shooting skills will definitely improve. As the training continues, everyone's shooting level will also become higher and higher.

"If you keep them by your side in the future, you don't have to worry about safety issues..."

In fact, at the beginning, Zhu Xianhai also had this idea. In the past, his own people are more reliable. It is better to have a group of subordinates than to be alone.

The "tragic death" in the Sims many times told him a crucial life philosophy, not only needs a gun, but also someone!

That is...there is another problem that needs to be solved - what should I do if I save those people?

Although for Zhu Xianhai, who doesn't even have the power to protect himself, these Taiping Army soldiers who have experienced many battles are undoubtedly the capital for self-protection.

With them by my side, it is difficult for even the military minister to threaten him. What is the most important thing in troubled times?

People!

A gun!

In the past, he had money to buy guns, but no one was available.

There is someone now.

But the problem is... these are more than a thousand people.

He can afford dozens, or even hundreds, and if more than a thousand people sit and eat the whole country, he will definitely be able to eat him up!

Thinking of this, his brows frowned.

These are more than a thousand people!

If you don't find a way to settle them, this will be really hard to deal with.
