Chapter 598

"I think I see what you mean."

Zhang Heng nodded.

He has been trudging in the hot sun for more than five hours, and his body is weaker than usual. He still doesn't know where he is or where Lincoln County is. It's rare for him to meet several similar people in the vast Gobi. Before pushing the door into this bar, Zhang Heng really held the idea of being as friendly as possible.

But now it seems that his original plan is going to fail.

Historians are always emphasizing the devastation of the Indians brought by this vigorous westward movement. In a short period of one hundred years, about one million Indians were slaughtered (only during the westward movement), and the rest were forced to move to the reserve. However, few people mention the sacrifice of the Chinese.

After the civil war, the United States abolished the slavery system. At the same time, the westward movement opened up wasteland, especially the laying of railways, which required a lot of cheap labor. Therefore, the businessmen finally turned their eyes to Southeast Asia. At that time, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, China's population exploded, at the same time, the Taiping Rebellion continued, and a large number of poor people who could not survive poured into Hong Kong and Macao, After that, they either volunteered or were cheated to go to America by boat and became coolies. Their wages were low, they were able to endure hardship and obedience, and they were willing to engage in all kinds of dangerous jobs.

Known as one of the seven industrial wonders in the world, the Pacific Railway runs more than 3000 kilometers through the whole American continent. Almost all the most dangerous sections of the railway are completed by Chinese laborers. There is a famous saying in later generations, which is called the Pacific Railway. Under every sleeper, there is a Chinese worker's skeleton.

However, the influx of cheap labor, who eat less, work more, and hardly sleep, has greatly impacted the labor market of the United States. Discrimination against Chinese workers also reached its peak at that time, especially when the railway is about to be completed, for fear that these Chinese workers will rush into nearby towns to seize jobs and even unite with miners When the vicious incident happened, they rushed to the camp with guns and knives at night, and the terrified Chinese workers could only flee.

In this era, the universal discrimination against Chinese laborers is nothing new, and don't think that this kind of discrimination is just lip service. Zhang Heng doesn't know whether the story told by this bear like guy is true, but he has read some similar real cases.

Just in the west of the 19th century, someone shot and killed a black cowboy just because he didn't like black people. He fled before the sheriff arrived. Then he went to other towns to drink in anonymity. When he saw another black man in a bar, he couldn't help but draw a gun to kill him. Then he was surrounded and killed by the bailiff.

There are so many similar things in the West.

This is a place where talking about bullets is better than reasoning. Everyone is a walking constitution. Whose laws are more effective depends on whose bullets are faster.

Zhang Heng didn't get angry. In fact, he could understand each other's ideas very well. He came to the bar alone, thirsty and tired, and he didn't have any weapons, let alone guns. He didn't even have a knife. On the other hand, there were seven men, seven men armed to the teeth, strong and strong, and they were drinking. At this time, it's hard for you not to have fun Have fun.

Zhang Heng has to admit that he has gone in the wrong direction from the beginning. It doesn't make sense to be friendly in the face of the mob in a chaotic place. However, it doesn't matter. Dealing with the mob and villain is his strength. Maybe it's because he has been away from the copy of black sail for so long that he almost forgets how to deal with this kind of thing It's too late.

Zhang Heng then picked up an empty wine glass on the bar and raised his glass to the bear like man. "Here's to you. Let me recall those old days that I miss again."

When the guy wondered how Zhang Heng toasted with an empty wine cup, he saw the empty wine cup zooming in in front of his eyes.

Zhang Heng directly buckled the wine cup on the face of the bear like man, and then hit the bottom of the cup with a punch. The next moment, he heard the sound of the broken bone of the bridge of the nose.

The rest of the people in the bar were stunned by this sudden scene. A moment ago, they were still immersed in a happy atmosphere. In the twinkling of an eye, their companions were beaten. Is this Chinese man blind and can't see his situation clearly? Normal people in this situation should not be a man with his tail between his legs, how can he start first.

But their reaction was also very fast. The guy who played with the rifle picked up his rifle at the first time. However, Zhang Heng's action was faster. In the process of a man like a bear falling back from the glass, Zhang Heng had pulled out his revolver around his waist.

The two men raised their guns almost at the same time, but Zhang Heng was still half a second faster. As he pulled the trigger, the guy holding the rifle burst out a string of blood on his head, and immediately fell on the table and couldn't move any more.

Then Zhang Heng turned his gun to the table where he was playing cards. One of the beards and a skinny man also pulled out his pistol. Zhang Heng didn't care about the skinny man. He shot him in the heart before he shot him. At the same time, the skinny man pulled the trigger. However, maybe because of nervousness, the bullet wiped Zhang Heng's body and flew to the wine rack behind him.Zhang Heng didn't even blink an eye. He turned the muzzle of his gun and killed another man beside him. At this time, the knife player had rushed up. The bright knife was only a few centimeters away from Zhang Heng's chest. At the same time, the thin man finally aimed at him.

In this situation, Zhang Heng is still calm. He chose the guy with the knife, but when he pulled the trigger, Zhang Heng himself rushed to the blade.

Finally, when the knife was about to hit him, the bullet first took the life of the knife holder, and the thin man's muzzle was blocked by his companion's body.

Zhang Heng slowly put another bullet into the other side's eyebrow.

The gunfight awakened the drunk who was sleeping in the corner. However, when he opened his eyes, he found that all his companions had fallen down. He opened his mouth and looked like the devil. Fortunately, his trouble didn't last long. Soon Zhang Heng gave him the last-minute bullet.

This happened only in a few seconds. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe that the seven men in full dress would be killed by a single man in an instant.

Zhang Heng threw away the revolver that had no bullets in his hand, picked up the lever rifle on the ground, and then shot the owner of the bar.

The latter's body was blown out and hit the wine rack. His eyes were full of disbelief. After all, he had just touched the revolver under the bar, and before he could shoot Zhang Heng, he was preempted by the other party.

Zhang Heng sighed and said, "now that you've become a deaf person, just do it to the end. Why do you have to get involved?"

It's a pity that the bar owner can't hear his last words.

Zhang Heng picked up a new cup from the bar, then went to the card table, poured himself a glass of whisky, drank it all, and finally let his body replenish some water. Then he moved a stool and took the whisky to the bear like man whose nose was broken.

The latter's eyes on him are completely different now. After seeing his companions fall to the ground one after another, his tall and strong body curls up and shivers on the ground. He even ignores his bloody nose and says in horror, "you Who on earth are you? "

Zhang Heng put the stool in front of him and then sat on it.

"Why don't we put your question at the back, and you answer my questions first?"
