Chapter twenty-five opening
Chapter 25: Start fighting
Anyone who has a certain understanding of the United States, especially the history of the United States, can't help but sigh: The United States is really a country favored by God.
Not to mention its geographical advantages, the United States can develop with peace of mind under the protection of two huge natural barriers of the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Just talking about its territory, it will almost have any resource required for a country to develop, gold, silver, oil, iron ore, copper ore... and so on! Such rich and huge resources, except for Russia, which occupies the entire northern end of the Eurasian continent, Australia, which almost completely occupys Oceania, can be compared with it. If these three countries of the United States are super landlords in terms of resources, then, compared with this, China, which we once thought was proud of, can only be considered a rich peasant if it is rich, and there are so many children in this rich peasant family.
Guo Jinzhang was not particularly clear about where the United States had abundant resources. However, he knew very clearly that there had been several gold rushes in the United States. The most famous one was of course the California gold rush. However, Alaska is not much worse than California, and it also has rich resources. However, Alaska is still just a piece of land that disappoints Americans. The Russian Tsar sold it to Americans in a shortage of money, but Americans did not find anything on it, or because of geographical and climate factors, Americans had not had time to look for it.
Since that's the case, Guo Jinzhang naturally didn't want to let go of such a good place that produces gold, oil, and other resources. His original plan was to leave the United States and go to Canada, and he had the idea of going to Alaska to mine gold, but at that time he didn't want other Chinese workers to know about this situation.
This is out of selfishness!
In his opinion, such an opportunity to make a fortune, even the opportunity to become the world's leading rich man, is to give it to others? Although Chinese workers in Denver have always been united and get along well, that's a huge amount of money. Especially, Guo is not very clear about the specific location of those gold mines. If he told others, what if someone found them first, what should he do? Wouldn't he have no place to cry?
Therefore, you must be steady and never say it. At most, you can just wait until he discovers the gold mine and makes a fortune and give everyone some benefits. Eat meat by yourself, and you still need your brothers to drink some soup.
But now the situation has changed again.
Because Liang Zuying couldn't hold it in, the hostages ran away and he was discovered. The other party's large group of troops had already come over and hid them. Maybe they would really bring these things to the ground. If that were the case, it would be too cheap for those white people. So, he decided to tell them out. There are two benefits to doing this. First, publish the news, which is not cheap for Americans; second, stimulate everyone's desire to survive!
The Chinese workers' lives are too hard and too bullied. Living is simply no fun and there is no hope. However, in this case, once there is a little hope, everyone may immediately burst out with unimaginable power. Moreover, this hope is not just a "bit" but a huge, huge hope.
After all, that's gold! It's a gold mine!
A large gold mine that requires mining on a large scale!
After living in the United States for so many years, even though they lived alone and almost lived a segregated life, how many Chinese workers don’t know about the gold rush in the United States? How many people have never heard of the legend of getting rich overnight because of digging gold?
Who is not jealous?
And now, as long as you can get out alive, you have the same hope as those who get rich overnight.
"Prepare!"
Guo Jinzhang didn't know how many of the people in the house would believe his words, but he believed that as long as he had the opportunity to rush out, the people present would definitely find an opportunity to go to Alaska to find that front-line opportunity. For him, as long as he had this was enough.
"Open the door!"
"What do these people want to do?"
"Prepare, aim!"
Spring had just sent people to pursue the fleeing Chinese workers outside the city. For Guo Jinzhang and others in the house, he thought he would have to wait until the hostages were captured before he could force them out of the house. However, many things that seemed to be logical would always appear when many things that seemed to be logical were placed on the Chinese... As soon as the hostages were taken, the people in the house rushed out, and everyone was holding a torch, and of course there was a gun.
"Surrender! You guys, you have no chance."
The distance from the other party was still far away, and his pistol was not fired enough, so Spring did not rush to take out his gun, but instead took two steps forward and shouted to Guo Jinzhang and others.
"Who are you?" These guys were stable. Guo Jinzhang stood in front of everyone, signaling everyone not to move, and asked forward.
"Colorado militia captain Michael Spring!" Spring said.
"Michael? Well, this name is good, but the surname is not very good. Actually... I like Michael Jordan more!" Guo Jinzhang joked.
"Jordan?" Spring was stunned. Is there any white man who gets along well with these yellow people? But... Is there such a person in Denver? After walking for a moment, Shen'er turned back, he felt annoyed again, "Boy, are you teasing me?"
"I'm telling the truth. I really like Michael Jordan." Guo Jinzhang smiled, "In addition, I want to tell you one more thing, Captain!"
"What do you want to say? Let me give you a chance to surrender?" Spring snorted coldly. As an Irish, he had an instinctive rejection of Chinese people. Because in the United States, Irish and Chinese workers are the two most competitive groups of foreign workers, especially when building Pacific Iron, the main work that Central Pacific Railway originally envisioned was actually Irish workers. However, the performance of the Irish people was extremely disappointing, and almost broke the Central Pacific Railway Company. So, in desperation, the company's major giants only found a few Chinese workers to try... The result was naturally
These rich people were very surprised, but Irish workers were no longer valued. If it weren't for the leaders of the Pacific Railway Company's concerns about face and unwilling to let all the work be done by Chinese workers, Irish workers might not find any Irish workers in the entire project. This naturally made Irish workers generally dislike Chinese workers, and conflicts would occur from time to time. Although in most cases, Irish people bully the Chinese people, the Chinese people could only bear it. However, the more the Chinese people swallowed their anger, the more the Irish people looked at the Chinese people and wanted to bully them.
"If you are willing to give me a chance, I can consider it. But I know very well that you white people cannot believe the words. Moreover, opportunities are not given by others, but created by yourself." Guo Jinzhang smiled.
"You want to create a chance for yourself to surrender?" Spring sneered. "Then, if you hand over all the Mayor's stocks, I think I can provide you with such an opportunity. But you have to be tried by law!"
"You made a mistake, captain!" Guo Jinzhang's smile became brighter, "The opportunity I want to create is to leave here safely and take away all the money!"
"Tubborn guy! You're looking for..."
Spring originally wanted to say that Guo Jinzhang was seeking death, but before he finished speaking, he saw the Chinese workers following Guo Jinzhang running towards the nearby house, and then put the torches in his hand up!
"What do you want to do?"
Those houses... seem to be the yellow people's own? Spring doesn't understand a little, why are these guys burning their own houses?
"Damn it, hurry, hurry... Let your men stop them! Quick!"
Spring didn't understand, but Mayor Charlotte, who had been by his side, immediately discovered the terrible thing about the other party's move, that is... wind! The Chinese workers' houses are on the edge of the city, and the wind vents are on the vent. Once the fire is burned, the fire will quickly spread to the city along the wind direction... If all this cannot be stopped at the beginning, then in such a season, a huge fire will inevitably occur in Denver!
"You can't let them light up the fire and stop them. They want to cause a fire, hurry!"
Charlotte shouted in a hurry. He still wanted to be the governor, but the fire really started to ignite. Not to mention the governor, it is probably a big deal to say whether he, the mayor of Denver, can continue to do so.
"Roar over and catch them. Don't let them run away!"
Spring was furious. Under such absolute pressure, these yellow people were still thinking about resisting and even causing a fire... This simply ignored him, the new captain.
"Run!"
"shot!"
"Bang, bang..."
The cowboys shouted again, shooting randomly while galloping forward, trying to capture all the Chinese workers on the opposite side with an overwhelming advantage.
"Don't be afraid, you can't beat them right when riding on the horse." Guo Jinzhang was extremely calm and even had the mood to comfort the few people behind him. "Don't worry about other directions, hedge against them! Prepare explosives!"
"Be careful!" Hou Nan followed him closely, and did not forget to remind him.
"Are you still careful at this time? The more you are careful, the more you die... rush!" Qian Shide roared, and threw the torch in his hand on the roof, picked up the rifle and rushed forward. In front of him, Guo Jinzhang had a revolver and a few small bundles of explosives on his waist, and a rifle was on his back, but there was only one torch on his hand:
"Learn from me...it's fire!"
