1855 United States Tycoon

Chapter 36 Supervisor Fighting Coach

The person who appeared suddenly knocked down the two hooligans almost instantly. This guy almost made Mason’s eyes straight.

“Hey, brother, what a great job!” Mason exclaimed.

“It’s nothing, it’s just that these two boys can’t help but fight.” The man replied in English with a very weird emphasis.

Mason saw clearly that the man was actually a yellow man.

“Are you an Indian?” Mason asked.

“I’m from China, China, have you heard of it?” the person emphasized.

“Oh.” Mason nodded. He remembered that there seemed to be such a country on the other side of the world. However, this person does not look the same as the Chinese person he saw in the album.

“Are you from China? The book says that all of you Chinese have braids. It’s not like you have loose hair. Where’s your braids?” Mason couldn’t help asking more.

The man frowned and seemed to think of something very unhappy. “Only Qing Yao keeps braids, authentic Chinese people don’t keep braids.” The man gritted his teeth and replied.

“Qing Yao? What is that?” The two began to talk like this. After talking like this, Mason discovered that this Chinese man, who does not have braids but has a disheveled hair, is actually a Christian. It’s just that there is obviously a problem with his beliefs, and someone needs to be guided correctly.

That’s how the two people met. Later, after Mason became a security guard at the Blackwater Company, he remembered the friend he met in San Francisco who was particularly good at fighting and had experience in cold weapon warfare, so he wrote to Yang Tai and invited him to be his own assistant. And Yang Tai, who was unwilling to play in the Chinese restaurant all his life, also readily accepted his invitation. In this way, a Chinese man with a disheveled appearance appeared beside Mason.

Mason’s colleagues were all surprised that Mason had a Chinese person as an assistant. Some people don’t even believe that a seemingly small Oriental has expertise in fighting. You know, at that time, there was no Bruce Lee movie, and people in United States didn’t know what Chinese Kung Fu was. However, Yang Tai quickly confirmed Own’s strength with actual actions. Mason and the other members of the group bet that any of them will not be the opponent of this little man in unlimited unarmed combat. As a result, in just ten minutes, Yang Tai helped Mason earn two more months. Salary.

This escort of immigrants is the first time Heishui has accepted a similar job. But for Yang Tai, this is not the first time he has done similar things. In China, Yang Tai also did things like darts before following Luo Gang’s rebellion. In Yang Tai’s view, there is no big difference between escorting immigrants and bodyguards, except that the main weapon has changed from a oxtail knife to a rifle.

The immigrants got off the train at 5:30 in the morning. At that time, it was still dark. It was almost noon when the caravan was rented and all kinds of things were loaded into the car. After having lunch in the small town where the station is located, the convoy set off at about one in the afternoon.

The rain has just stopped for several days, and the air is extraordinarily fresh, and the early winter sun is shining lazily on everyone. Looking at the vast prairie, watching the large fields of weeds bullied by the breeze, all the immigrants are immersed in the beautiful fantasy of the future life.

However, such a beautiful fantasy did not last for a while, and the damn road conditions immediately made the immigrants unable to cry. Because of yesterday’s rain, the road was soaked up. A section of the road just out of the city was still a gravel road, and it was still possible to walk, but after a period of walking, the condition of the road became worse and worse. Soon, the road was full of puddles, and some sections even turned into quagmire altogether.

The leading caravan got stuck in the mud, and the people in the car hurriedly jumped down to help the cart. But the carriage sunk too deep, and the mud almost flooded the axle of the carriage. It can’t be pushed at all.

“That won’t work,” said Robson, who led the team. “You have to unload the cargo first, or the car will be too heavy.”

As the leader of the original shooting team, after the establishment of the Blackwater Security Company, Robson changed from the leader of the shooting team to the training director of the Blackwater Company. Originally, things like escorting immigrants didn’t need the director himself to go into battle. He just considered that this transaction was Heishui’s first transaction. In addition, although most of the company’s members had experience in serving as soldiers, they had experienced it. After some training, not many have actually been on the battlefield, and they have no experience in performing escort missions. So Robson, as the training director, decided to personally lead the team to ensure the successful completion of the first mission, and also to accumulate first-hand information for the execution of such missions.

The immigrants took down the things on the carriage one after another, and then it took more than half an hour to get the carriage out of the mud. Then it was reinstalling things, and it took almost two hours to come and go. During this period, the escort was guarded by one person carefully near the convoy. Some immigrants asked for someone from the convoy to help push a car, but Robson bluntly refused this request.

“Now we are in a relatively dangerous position. Not only is it close to the Sioux settlements, but there are also gang activities nearby. Therefore, I must keep our people physically strong to defend against possible dangers.” Robson explained. However, judging from the expressions on the tired faces of the immigrants, they don’t seem to approve of Robson’s explanation too much.

After the car was pulled out, it took less than an hour to go, and another big car broke down.

“It’s getting dark, I’m afraid it will be difficult to get to the camping spot on time today.” Robson said to Mason, “We are going to camp in the wild. Go and open the map to see if there is a suitable place for camping.”

Mason took out a map from a cowhide tube, examined it carefully, and then replied, “Captain, walk two kilometers forward. There is a high ground where we can camp.”

“Let me take a look.” Robson stretched his head over and took a look. “Well, there is no better place than this one before dark. Let’s camp there.”

When it was getting dark, the convoy finally reached that small highland, which was a small soil slope tens of meters high. Because it was higher than the surrounding area, the surface of the small soil slope was relatively dry. In addition, the view here is very good, and the terrain is relatively conducive to defense, so it is not bad to choose this place to build a camp.

Under Robson’s command, the immigrants formed a circle of 15 caravans as a perimeter defensive barrier, and then others set up tents in the circle surrounded by the caravan. There was a fire in life, and dinner was started. The guards pulled ropes with small bells on the outer slopes.

The winter night came extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, it was completely dark. This darkness at night in the wilderness is unimaginable for people who are accustomed to the lights of the city in modern times. The so-called not being able to see five fingers is not an exaggeration. Orion has ascended to the zenith, along the line of the three bright stars in Orion, you can see the unknown Sirius is shining.

The guards of Heishui were not comfortable with the immigrants at this time. The immigrants who had been tired for a day fell asleep almost as soon as they fell, but the guards of Heishui couldn’t rest. They had to work shifts to watch the night.

Both Mason and Yang Tai were arranged to watch in the second half of the night, so as soon as she finished eating, she quickly found a place to lie down. Although I haven’t pushed a car, just riding a horse on a muddy road for a day is already exhausting. So as soon as he lay down, he fell asleep before he could think of “I want to hurry to sleep” in his head.

I don’t know how long I slept, but Mason felt dimly as if someone was pushing him. He reluctantly opened his eyes and heard Robson’s voice: “It’s time to change the guard, it’s your turn, be careful.”

Lighting of lights is forbidden in the camp at night. This is to reduce the risk of fire, but it is more important to avoid exposing the target and incurring attacks by potential enemies-Indians and bandits.

“Oh.” Mason got out of the blanket, got dressed in the dark, and picked up his MacDonald 1857 rifle. Then he opened the tent and went out.

It was cold outside, but unexpectedly it was much brighter than in the middle of the night. Because in the second half of the night, the half-round moon rose into the sky, so the darkness receded, and the vast wilderness appeared faintly, and even the road to the dead was faintly visible.

Mason saw Yang Tai also get out of his tent. He was holding a double-barreled shotgun that fired deer bullets, and a machete hanging around his waist-his marksmanship was not good, and it was more convenient to use a shotgun that could hit the target more easily.

“It’s cold, isn’t it?” Mason said to Yang Tai, “Fortunately, there is the moon in the second half of the night, not as dark as the first half of the night, and you can see it even if there is a situation.”

“We can see others, and those who are interested can see us better.” Yang Tai replied, “I would rather everyone not see.”

The night passed quite peacefully, no Indians nor gangs attacked. The reason for this is actually very simple. Night combat is a highly organized combat mode full of variables. Neither Indians nor gangs have such a high level of organization. For them, there is uncertainty in night combat. There are too many factors to risk such a risk.

However, the peaceful situation changed the next day. When the convoy was about to set off in the morning, the sharp-eyed Mason saw that in the distance, two horsemen were following them. This is not a good sign. If these two people are normal passengers, they will definitely catch up with the convoy, because in such a wilderness, it is always safer to walk together anyway. And these two people always follow, the team goes fast, they also go fast, and the team goes slow and they follow it slowly-this is obviously not a good thing.
