Chapter 33 To save yourself, save others first
"them?"

Zhu Xianhai frowned and asked anxiously.

"You mean, there were still people who escaped at that time?"

"That's for sure. The mine is such a big place, and more than a thousand people are not panning for gold in one place, that is, some people escaped from our side, and the others are still there? In the past two years, they don't know How many crimes have I suffered!"

Eyes wide open in astonishment, Zhu Xianhai said.

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

"The bastard Qing Yao sold two thousand people to foreign devils at a time, and exchanged a total of five hundred foreign guns..."

"Where are they?"

"Where else can it be? Aren't they all sold to the mines!"

Zhu Xianhai asked one after another.

"Where is the mine? Where is it?"

……

When I closed my eyes, I had a nightmare.

In the dream, Zhu Xianhai saw in the dense rainforest, his emaciated compatriots struggling in the mud, the whips kept falling on them, and the wolf dogs barking and even eating people.

Bloody water mixed with muddy water, dyeing everything red.

"Why didn't anyone save us..."

A dying voice echoed in the nightmare until Zhu Xianhai was startled awake from the dream.

Why is no one saving us!
He woke up with red eyes, with a panicked expression and cold sweat on his back.he said to himself.

"Why, why don't you save them!"

Staring at the front, Zhu Xianhai's gaze became firm, no matter what, those people are 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, like the Remington M1858 revolver, but only 15 A peso, far less than the price of a Colt revolver.If it is in the United States, the price will be cheaper, the wholesale price is the same as the retail price in the United States, but the Henry rifle is really not cheap, one costs 50 pesos, which is 50 US dollars!

The bullets are more expensive - 100 rounds of .44 caliber Henry bullets cost 5 pesos, and the price far exceeds that of gunpowder, caps, and lead shot bulk bullets, but Henry bullets with metal shells are reloaded quickly and are not afraid of rain. A weapon more suited to the rainforest.

Including the modified pistol, these weapons cost Zhu Xianhai about [-] pesos, and now these weapons are placed in front of Li Fugui and others.

"Brother Zhu, what... what does this mean?"

Li Fugui and the others were dumbfounded as they looked at the weapons brought down from the carriage.

"Wales Gold Mine!"

Zhu Xianhai said.

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

Zhu Xianhai looked at them, and then took out a wad of money from his pocket.

"There are several thousand pesos here. If you don't want to go, just take two hundred pesos and leave. Buy a boat ticket to California, which costs about 20 pesos. From California to Shanghai or Hong Kong, you need 30 pesos. The rest of the money , enough for you to go home, let's get to know each other once, and Zhu will never let you fall into a foreign country."

One side is a gun, the other side is silver.

"Brother Zhu...this..."

Faced with such a choice, everyone was stunned. Li Fugui and the others all looked at the gun, then at the ticket, and finally their eyes fell on Zhu Xianhai.

"What is this..."

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

"Brother Zhu and the brothers who were sold to the mine have never met, but he is willing to risk his life to save them. If we don't go, how can we be worthy of those brothers?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Er followed suit.

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

No one hesitated, and no one went to get the money, they all chose guns, only Li Fugui stood there, leaning on crutches, looked at his legs in embarrassment, then looked at Zhu Xianhai and said.

"Brother Zhu, this big brother, we brothers are not bad for shouting! I just don't know that you think we are useless, big brother."

Li Fugui's words made Zhu Xianhai laugh.

"Will you shoot?"

"meeting!"

"Will that kill?"

"That's even more so. What are we men doing? They are rebels! Isn't that killing people?"

"That's right, that's the reason, but! This time we must let those white-skinned pigs taste our power!"

Zhu Xianhai looked at them and said.

"However, before we go, we need to practice our guns first. There are few of us, so this is the only thing we can rely on!"

……

"Ba-ba-ba"

In the warehouse workshop, there was a burst of intensive gunfire from the simple shooting range.

Accompanied by gunshots, bursts of crisp metal echoed in the factory building, which were empty cans full of targets.

"Ba, ba, ba..."

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

"Brother Zhu, good marksmanship!"

After shooting a round of guns, there was a burst of praise around him. This is not flattery. Zhu Xianhai's marksmanship is really good. This is the "primary shooting technique" blessed by the system's golden finger.

"Brother Zhu, you are really good at shooting with a quick gun. I reckon that if you go to fight, a dozen people can kill you all in the blink of an eye. One shot with this gun will kill you." , those people still have a chance to ring their hands!"

"Let's be so-so. There is no advanced technique in shooting. It is nothing more than a three-point line. The bullets of this Henry rifle are not powerful and the recoil is small. As long as you hold it firmly, three-point line, within 100 meters, basically It means hitting that."

Holding a gun, Zhu Xianhai explained to them that they were also wearing green military uniforms. The style of the military uniforms was somewhat similar to the styles of later generations. He specially customized them in the tailor shop, and green was more suitable for hiding in the rainforest.

"Just practice more, remember, three points and one line..."

Standing beside them, Zhu Xianhai instructed them one by one how to hold the gun and how to aim.

They have all rebelled and killed people before, but their marksmanship is hard to describe. Some have used firecrackers, some have used foreign guns, and of course, they have also used revolvers.But what is certain is that none of them have undergone systematic shooting training.

They never knew about three points and one line, and adjusting breathing. In fact, without systematic blessing, Zhu Xianhai would not know either.

What's the easiest way to improve your shooting skills?
It is live ammunition shooting. As long as you feed enough bullets, your shooting skills will definitely improve. As the training continues, everyone's shooting level will 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 very beginning, Zhu Xianhai also had the same idea. These days, it is more reliable to be on his own.It's better to have a group of subordinates than to be alone.

The "tragic death" in Sims' life many times told him a crucial philosophy of life, not only guns, but also people!
That is... there is still a problem to be solved - how to save those people?
Although for Zhu Xianhai who didn't even have the power to protect himself, these Taiping soldiers who had experienced many battles were undoubtedly the capital of self-protection.

With their protection by his side, even the military minister can hardly threaten him. What is the most important thing in troubled times?

People!

Gun!

He used to have money to buy a gun, but no one to use it.

There are people now.

But the problem is... this is more than a thousand people.

Dozens, or even hundreds, he can afford to support. If more than a thousand people sit and eat, they will definitely eat him up!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown into a ball.

This is more than a thousand people!

If you don't want to find a way to settle them down, this matter will be really difficult.

Suddenly, Zhu Xianhai found that he was a bit stuck...
