Chapter Fifty-Six: The Stowaway
"Put down your weapons and don't move." These words were shouted in English.
There is a piggy here who can speak English?
This seems even more unbelievable than the changes on site.
At the same time, several other people also cooperated to control the first mate and three other sailors beside the captain. Only one sailor was killed, and the ship's nail was inserted into his neck.
Ah Fu looked embarrassed. He had used too much force just now and directly pierced the ship's nail into the person's throat.
The white sailor was holding his neck with his hands and struggling to survive.
Ah Fu, who was helpless, pressed his neck hard, so the white sailor died faster.
There were seven or eight sailors on the deck three feet away, cutting the Chinese workers' braids.
When you see something happening here, you should pick up your rifle as soon as possible.
Obviously, they did not listen to Dong Liang's threats.
If they attack together and ignore the captain's life or death, Dong Liang and others will be in danger.
Just then.
No one expected that a Han man who had just cut off his braid suddenly jumped up, grabbed the wrist of the sailor beside him, and drove the scissors in his hand into his chest.
Another foreign sailor picked up a rifle with a bayonet attached.
The sailor was also tough. He raised his gun and stabbed the man.
But this man grabbed the opponent's gun barrel at an unimaginable speed.
Then he removed the bayonet from the barrel.
The sailor was dragged forward by the rifle, and was stabbed in the chest by the man's backhand.
Then the man killed two more people in a row.
Not far away, a white sailor raised his gun and took aim, preparing to shoot directly.
At such a close distance, even if this person is a martial arts master, he cannot avoid it.
As the saying goes, beyond seven steps, the gun is fast; within seven steps, the gun is accurate and fast.
However, just as the white gunman was about to shoot.
There was a "bang..." sound.
The white sailor fell in response.
There were two more "bang bangs" and the other two white sailors fell down.
Dong Liang sighed in his heart that the quality of the things produced by Miguo Lao at this time was still good.
What he held in his hand was the captain's hand-made Colt revolver.
As a professional captain, his pistol must be ready to fire at all times.
Except for the strong recoil and smoke, this gun is very powerful, has a rifled barrel, and its accuracy is pretty good.
Dong Liang had not touched a gun for many years, and all three shots hit.
"Stop it, damn it, stop it!"
This time it was not Dong Liang who shouted, but Captain Bryson.
The sailors who found their rifles in the panic stopped.
The captain's words are still valid. They are just merchant ships and have no determination to die.
Only then did Dong Liang clearly see the Chinese man not far away.
He was tall and burly, with a strong and strong physique, and his muscles were tanned by the sun and glowed with health.
Because it had not been trimmed for many days, there were inch-long hair on the head, which stood up in clusters, making it appear sharp and mighty. A three-inch long scar on the left side of the face revealed an arrogant and domineering look that was difficult to conceal.
Dong Liang was certain that this was not an ordinary person. No farmer could have such skill and momentum.
But why did this person get mixed up in Piggy's team?
I don't have time to think about this right now.
Dong Liang looked at the man and began to deal with the crisis at hand.
"Your captain has been controlled by me. Everyone put down their weapons. We just want to go home and will not harm your lives."
At this time, the importance of knowing a foreign language is reflected.
"Let me go, what are you doing? This is piracy. Aren't you afraid that your government will punish you?"
Bryson knew that Dong Liang knew English, so he yelled at Dong Liang.
Bryson has been trafficking piglets for so many years, and there has never been any trouble. He didn't expect that this time he would fall into the hands of piglets.
Although Bryson was restrained by Dong Liang, his momentum did not decrease at all. He knew that the Chinese were cowards and tried to scare them.
"Okay, Captain Bryson, you are a slave trader who has murdered so many Chinese workers. Who are you qualified to talk to me about the law? Cooperate and we will let you go when we get home." Dong Liang said to Bryson with a mocking look on his face.
Sheng said.
These Americans like to engage in double standards.
Soon, all the Chinese workers were put on the deck.
There were four hundred and five people in total, and the entire deck was densely packed.
The expressions of these Chinese workers varied, some were confused, some were excited, some were angry, and some were afraid.
Bryson and the remaining two dozen sailors were tied up in the middle.
Just now, the second mate and several sailors lowered a lifeboat and ran away.
Dong Liang had only a dozen people around him at that time, so he didn't care about them.
But here is a busy ocean, and the lifeboat cannot run very far. A slightly stronger wind and wave can send them to the sea.
"Mr. Dong, everyone is on the deck. Please say a few words. If it weren't for you this time, everyone would not be free again," Chen Deli said.
Dong Liang's mind and skill impressed him.
When Dong Liang was first asked to take the lead, he was still a little dissatisfied.
But now he is really convinced.
Dong Liang was also very confused at this time.
Just when I traveled through time, I encountered something like this.
But looking at more than 400 topless compatriots.
A strong desire for protection arose in his heart.
The oldest of these people was no more than thirty years old, and Dong Liang even saw a few children under ten years old.
They were all deceived into going to Xiamen and were originally going to be sent to San Francisco.
Many people are the breadwinners of their families.
They will then be squeezed out of their last drop of value in the white man's mines and farms.
Although they signed a labor contract.
But Dong Liang knew that they would owe a huge debt once they arrived at their destination, and the money was their shipping fee.
Those white people will use various methods to make them never pay off their debts.
Moreover, the contract also allows the employer to resell the contract relationship. In fact, they are like slaves.
In the end, very few Chinese workers were able to walk out of the mines and plantations alive.
"Brothers from Fujian Province, I colluded with An Dongliang, foreigners and local gangsters to trick everyone onto the ship. In fact, they sent me to be slaves overseas. If we didn't resist, everyone would either die on the ship or work as cattle for the foreigners for the rest of their lives.
Being a horse. Dong Liang is a useless scholar, so he can only make this decision and lead everyone to occupy this ship. I will help you and go home together!"
"Yes, we want to go home." Chen Deli was still quick-thinking and shouted after him.
Only then did the Chinese workers below realize that they followed suit.
"You can't go back. Do you know how to sail a boat? Do you know where we are now?" Bryson said disdainfully.
His eyes were full of ridicule.
"Mr. Bryson, please believe me, not everyone's heart is as hard as your mouth."
To appease the good people, Dong Liang arranged for everyone to clean the cabin, and Dong Xingfu and Chen Deli went to search the entire ship.
They found a place to store food and prepared to give the workers a full meal.
He himself asked several people to escort the captain, first mate, and navigator to the captain's cabin.
The captain's cabin is luxuriously decorated and has a long table, which is probably where they usually eat and hold meetings.
Dong Liang sat on a chair and looked at the white people opposite him.
"Take Captain Bryson outside and hang him on the mast. He is suspected of abducting people and torturing workers. I will execute him in front of the big guys later."
Dong Liang said this in English, specifically for Bryson.
He could see the legs of the first mate and captain beside Bryson shaking slightly.
Bryson's eyes were full of disbelief and horror.
"No, you agreed not to kill us, you liar!" Bryson's eyes almost popped out. He should not have compromised with the robbers.
Dong Liang did not continue to talk nonsense with a few white people.
After executing Bryson for a while.
Dong Liang believes that many people will make their own choices.
At this time Chen Deli came in with a few people.
The people on this boat came from seven places: Tong'an, **, Nan'an, Anxi, Hui'an, Longxi, and Longyan.
Dong Liang asked the workers in each place to elect one person to participate in the discussion.
