Wild North America 1846

Chapter 11

It's too late, it's too soon.

Li Cha flipped his hand and pulled out the Colt revolver, and the gun rang almost at the same time as the gun was drawn. Knocked down, fell off the horse.

In an instant

Li Cha took out another Colt revolver from the gun pocket under his left rib, and pointed the black muzzle at the other people. At the same time, he inserted the pistol with 4 bullets back into the gun pocket on his right waist , and ordered loudly; "If you don't want to die, don't move around, raise your hands high."

At this time, you can see the role of the French veterans.

Mike Rabiot was not stunned by Li Cha's actions of killing three people in a row, but quickly got off his horse and raised his gun, dragged the Chinese gunman next to him off his horse, and disarmed him.

It was only then that the two team members following Li Cha realized what they were doing, and followed suit by dragging the others off their horses and disarming them.

got it over here

Li Cha licked his horse's belly with both feet, and steered his mount forward slowly. The fierce Chinese gunmen in the valley, after being shocked, were dragged off their horses by Dai Changfu and others, and became A prisoner.

More than sixty people deal with eight, and it is easy to catch.

Of the 16 gunmen in the Agreement Hall, 3 were killed on the spot, and 13 others were captured without a fight. The previous arrogance has long been invisible.

With a wave of his hand, Li Cha ordered, "Take them all back, who is that...what do you call it?"

He was referring to the reckless guy who suddenly yelled "big dragon head" just now. This guy looked honest and of medium build, but after being called to a standstill, his face turned pale, and he didn't answer cowardly.

Li Cha's heart was full of anger. Fortunately, his hand speed was super fast, and he killed the enemy first, otherwise it would be dangerous.

Dai Changfu kicked a captured gunman to his knees on the ground, walked over and stared at him fiercely, then raised his head and reported; "Master, this idiot is from the second team, named Miao Xiaoshan, we didn't pay attention He pointed you out at that dangerous moment, and it was too late to stop him, I suspect he did it on purpose, or should he be destroyed?"

"Don't be impatient, let's talk after you ask clearly." Li Cha waved his hand, and looked at the embarrassed Miao Xiaoshan carefully.

"Miao Xiaoshan, I'm asking you as the leader of the Tang Dynasty. You have to answer my question honestly. You only have one chance. Why did you suddenly reveal my identity in front of the people in the Agreement Hall?"

"Master, I didn't do it on purpose! I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time." Tian Xiaoshan thumped to his knees and cried out in panic.

"I gave you the chance, but I still don't tell the truth." Li Cha said coldly, then raised the gun in his hand, pointed it at a gang member who was kneeling on the side, and put the gun directly on his head.

This is an older man, about 40 or [-] years old, with a full beard and well-dressed clothes, like a little boss.

When Li Cha's gun was aimed at him, the man trembled in fright, and immediately collapsed on the ground, shouting in horror: "Young master, young master, please keep the gun down, the agreement hall is willing to pay a high price for the ransom, what are the conditions?" It's all easy to talk about."

"I just want to ask you one question now, and you must answer honestly. If you answer wrong, you will die."

"Master, please ask me. I, Liu Wuzhi, will say everything, and I will never dare to be half false."

"Do you know this Tian Xiaoshan? Where does he come from?" Li Cha asked coldly.

"I know this. Tian Xiaoshan is a bad gambler and a lecher. He owed a lot of money in our brothel and gambling stall. Lin Ada brought people to come to him to settle the debt, but he died unexpectedly. Here." Facing the black muzzle of the gun, Liu Wu didn't have the slightest intention to cover up for Tian Xiaoshan, and readily admitted the secret deeds of the two sides like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

"Early this morning, I received a letter in the hall. The letter said that I knew that Lin Ada and the other three were shot dead, and where they were buried? The murderer was Li Cha who murdered in the Old Bar Tavern. This letter It was written by Tian Xiaoshan. In the letter, he cursed and swore that he saw it with his own eyes, and that there was no falsehood. The purpose was to cancel the debt he owed. When Brother Hao heard that, he was furious, and he immediately led people to want revenge. As a result... As a result, you were shot dead."

"Is there any falsehood?"

"Don't dare, there is absolutely no falsehood, there are other guys who can prove my words."

Li Cha nodded, took back the gun in his hand, and then said to the surrounding team members who were already full of anger;

"The facts are already very clear, Tian Xiaoshan is this scum who eats inside and out, this person has a vicious mind, betrays the master and the society, and should be severely punished.

My Datang Society was first established, and what I pay attention to is that brothers and sisters are dear, thinking together with one's heart, and exerting strength in one place, and its benefits can cut through gold.

The purpose is to help Chinese compatriots survive in this difficult world, live nourished and comfortable, live a happy life of marrying wives and having children, and not being bullied by others.

But then again, the Tang Dynasty is not a good stubble who eats fast and recites Buddhism, and has no mercy on the enemy, and also kills such traitors to make an example."

Speaking of here
Li Cha glanced at the crowd sharply, and everyone clasped their fists together and saluted and replied, "This person has committed a heinous crime. Whether he kills or cuts him, the leader decides. We have no objection."

"Captain Dai, the facts are clear, kill this traitor for me." Li Cha ordered.

"As ordered."

Dai Changfu drew out his pistol without hesitation, and under Tian Xiaoshan's terrified eyes, he fired three shots in a row, killing him on the spot.

Li Cha doesn't do it himself, which is a very interesting thing to say.

The Tang Dynasty was first established, and the rules and regulations were not perfect. It is not surprising that some dissidents mixed in. It will take time to screen and eliminate them.

But Tian Xiaoshan is a member of the association after all, and he can't kill him at will like an enemy. Any mistakes he made must be verified, and finally the family law will be enforced.

Killing without warning will chill the hearts of other brothers.

This time, the agreement hall suddenly rushed to the door of the house, reminding Li Cha again, if he can't guard this Taniguchi, the house will be easily destroyed by someone.

When the time comes, there will be no lair, even if he has all the skills, he can only flee to the end of the world.

Military training must be carried out without delay. At the same time, the identity and background of the personnel must be screened, and the team will gradually be trained into a combat-capable group that can be relied on in this troubled world.

While the guys were escorting the captives into the valley, Li Cha led the horse to the side of the French instructor Mike Rabiot, and said sincerely;

"Mike, thank you for your help. The people you see now don't understand anything. If there is a firefight, many people may run away immediately. Strict military training is very much needed."

"Please rest assured, Master Li Cha, I am very good at training a group of peasants who have just dropped their hoes into soldiers. It only takes two months to look good."

"Two months, sounds good."

"Don't expect too much from the soldiers trained in two months. A qualified soldier must go through more than half a year of formal training, firmly engrave the military regulations in his mind, and become a part of the war machine. At that time, they marched in line against the enemy's bullets without fear. Only soldiers who have been baptized in war are qualified soldiers."

"It seems that I'm thinking too simple, okay, so where do we start?"

"Military regulations and queues are the first things to instill in soldiers, so that they can develop a high degree of discipline and obedience in rigorous training, and they must report to the commander before doing anything."

"OK, just let go of training, Mike instructor, I will fully support you."

"Thank you! I can see that these are a group of good boys, with good physical fitness and good obedience. I have the confidence to train them to be qualified soldiers."

The two walked while talking, and soon arrived at the wooden house by the forest. The simple environment made the French instructor Mike Rabiot frown.

Without it, the row of three cabins would be too small.

There are more than 110 gunmen in the Tang Dynasty, and the original twenty horses, plus the 16 horses that have been seized now, this is 43 horses. How can this place be enough?The place is too cramped.

The four-wheeled carriage from Russell's grocery store untied the ropes that bound the goods, revealing a large number of well-packed long and short weapons. The brand-new Colt revolver was packed in a wooden box with a cleaning rod and a press Rod, a small oil bladder for maintaining the firearm, and a cowhide holster as a bonus.

The second-hand 1777 Type 09 musket is much simpler. It is just carefully wrapped and bundled with burlap.

Seeing this batch of weapons, together with the seizure of the weapons of the 16 riders in the Agreement Hall, caused the gunmen of the Datang Society to cheer loudly from the bottom of their hearts, but they soon stopped laughing.

Because the weapons are not issued for the time being, you have to wait until the military training is over before you can receive the guns, or you can only receive the guns when you are on duty, and return them after you are on duty.

The 16 riders in the Agreement Hall are well equipped, each with a short knife, a revolver and a long gun. The saddles of the war horses are fully equipped, and the horses have blankets and water bottles on the backs of the horses that are necessary for sleeping in the wilderness. thing.

With these equipments, plus the equipment accumulated before, Datang Society can arm 57 riders. Except for 15 horses which are provided by the riders themselves, the others are armed by Datang Society. It can be regarded as a large-scale armed force. cavalry.

In addition, the spare weapons can also form a rifle team with 15 flintlock spears to supplement firepower and guard Taniguchi on a daily basis, so there will be no such situation today where there are fewer guns and more people.

From the current point of view

As long as there is no high-intensity armed conflict, this armed force is sufficient. Now it is training and performing duties. At the same time, it is necessary to mobilize manpower to build camps, temporarily lay a solid foundation, and then consider further expansion.

In front of everyone, Richard appointed Mr. Mike Rabiot, a Frenchman, as the chief military instructor, and handed over sixty people, including Dai Changfu, to him. He took advantage of lunch to get acquainted, and the formal military training began in the afternoon. train.

have eaten
Li Cha led two people to interrogate the prisoners. The first one was Liu Wu, who had behaved well just now. This guy slipped over with his hands tied behind his back. When he saw Li Cha, his face turned pale and he stuttered.

"Li... Master Li Cha, I... have mercy!"
