America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 465
While Kutcher was shooting, Chen Jianqiu was inspecting a new batch of lambs from Lincolnshire in the newly built livestock exchange.

In addition to selling these lambs to the surrounding rednecks, they are also prepared for the Chinese's own pastures.

Chen Jianqiu asked some of them for their opinions.

At this time, the hometowns of Chinese who came to America were mainly in the southeast coast, especially Guangdong.

Very few from the interior.

Most of them prefer to plow out fields for farming rather than grazing.

But this place in Oklahoma is really suitable for the development of animal husbandry.

Agriculture itself is a hopeful industry. Eggs cannot be put in one basket, and soy products cannot be the only way to obtain protein.

It is still necessary to adapt measures to local conditions and do as the Romans do.

In this regard, Chen Jianqiu did not make a mandatory requirement, but suggested that those Chinese who work for their ranches in Lincolnshire try it out first.

Only real benefits can convince others.

Chen Jianqiu is very satisfied with this batch of lambs. It seems that James has put a lot of thought into it.

People from the National Agricultural Association not only brought lambs, but also sent experienced technicians and clerks.

They intend to develop corresponding members here as well.

Just as Chen Jianqiu was discussing with those technicians.

A Chinese soldier hurried in.

"what's going on?"

Chen Jianqiu put a cute little lamb in his arms on the ground, stroked its head, and asked calmly.

"Report to Mr. Chen! The other side of the river is attacking us!" The soldier clasped his fists and reported.

"Is anyone injured?" Chen Jianqiu asked.

"One of our workers was hit, but fortunately not seriously injured!"

"We seem to be in trouble." A member of the Agricultural Association who was discussing with Chen Jianqiu just now frowned.

The member of the Agricultural Association was named Thomas Simpson, he could understand Chinese, especially Cantonese, and he was an old acquaintance with Chen Jianqiu.

"Small problem." Chen Jianqiu smiled at him, "You guys continue to discuss the postpartum care of the ewes, and I will deal with it first."

He then walked out of the gate with the Chinese soldier.

"The attack came very suddenly. According to our judgment, it should come from the sentry tower just built on the opposite side. The view there is very good." The soldier followed Chen Jianqiu while reporting.

"En." Chen Jianqiu just responded briefly, as if he had expected this matter a long time ago.

They did not go to the river, but came to the station of the artillery cadets.

Like Zhang Danian's thousand soldiers, these artillery cadets also received their own land here, some of them stayed in the camp on duty, and some of them went to work on their own farms.

The militia, the militia, are the people first, and then the soldiers.

"Is Danny back?"

After stepping into the camp, Chen Jianqiu shouted loudly.

When Danny came to Oklahoma, he thought there was going to be a battle, but he found that even the bridge on the other side couldn't pass.

In addition, as the mayor of Roswell, there happened to be something happening there, so he went back to Roswell.

"Yes, I just came back in the morning, and I am sleeping in the house now." A soldier's head stuck out from the window.

Chen Jianqiu walked into the room quickly.

Danny was lying in his chair with his legs draped over a stool in front of it, snoring loudly and soundly asleep.

Chen Jianqiu walked up to him and knocked on the table in front of him:

"Danny! It's time for dinner."

The blond old man still slept soundly, without any intention of being disturbed.

Chen Jianqiu thought for a while, leaned into his ear, and said another way:
"Danny! Your wife Teresa is here and wants to talk to you about her son!"

Danny opened his eyes suddenly, sat up from the chair suddenly, and looked around vigilantly:
"There is Teresa? Where is it?"

"No, she's in Roswell." Chen Jianqiu looked at him with a smile, "Hurry up, your cannon is about to fire."

Hearing that there was work to be done, Danny suddenly felt relieved.

His cannon finally came into play.

"I'm going to get everyone assembled now," Danny said.

Chen Jianqiu shook his head: "No need, just drag four cannons out."

Danny roared across the camp.

The trainees led the horses, and those who opened the barn door opened the barn door, and quickly dragged out the four Krupp field guns.

They followed Chen Jianqiu to a place not far from the river bank.

"I'll blow up these four things." Chen Jianqiu pointed to the four sentry towers on the north bank of the river.

In the setting sun, it can be clearly seen that there are still people on the sentry tower looking around.

"OK, no problem!"

Danny rolled up his sleeves and greeted the students behind him.

"Fu Zhengli, Si Kou Shiliang, Little Hawkins, the three of you stand out, one for each door, and I control one door alone, and the others will assist in groups according to the usual training! Do you understand?"

All three people named looked a little nervous.

But Danny didn't seem to care what they meant, he found a cannon and began to calibrate the direction and trajectory.

Although the 75mm caliber is considered a light gun, it basically requires two to three people to assist in the adjustment.

But for Danny, one person is enough.

And he has a talent.

Just guessing.

When Chen Jianqiu met Danny for the first time, he had learned about his ability. Even if he just relied on intuition, he was very accurate.

While the gunners of the other three guns were measuring the range and adjusting the shooting angle, Danny had already started loading.

"You really don't want to confirm again?" Chen Jianqiu followed the direction of the cannon barrel and looked across the river.

"Florida Destroyer" didn't answer Chen Jianqiu's question, or in other words, the way to answer him was to directly pull the matchlock.

"boom!"

At this time, on the other side of the river, the braided man was standing on the top of the sentry tower with a gun, looking towards the south of the river bank.

But his attention was always on the other side of the bridge.

He was afraid that Kuqi's shot just now would make the opponent really gather.

Even if the other side didn't rush over the bridge, he couldn't bear it even if they all fired guns at his side.

Therefore, the braided man is always ready to withdraw from the guard tower.

However, after a period of time, there was no assembled troops at the bridgehead, not even anyone who fought back.

The braided man gradually became more courageous.

It seems that the person on the other side is also a strong outsider, or in other words, adhering to the uniqueness of the Chinese, that, what is it?Yes, "Forbearance"!
"Come up to the tower, let's make another sneak attack and leave!" He greeted the other cowboys, signaling them to go up to the other three towers.

Soon, the four towers were full of people.

And the braided man also began to look for the next target.

Suddenly, he saw a group of people appearing in the distance, and there seemed to be a row of other things in front of them.

The braided man couldn't see clearly with the naked eye, so he took out his binoculars.

When he saw through the telescope what the row of things was.

The braided man's breathing stopped for an instant.

That is, cannon? !
Before he could react, the blond old man in the telescope pulled the rope suddenly.

There was a loud noise, as if something flew towards him from the telescope.

"my Lord!"

The braided man said his last words in this world.
