v2 Chapter 343： 1 cup of you (1/2)

”I think I understand what you want to say.”

Zhang Heng nodded.

He has been trekking under the scorching sun for more than five hours, his body is weaker than usual, and he still does not know where he is or what direction Lincoln County is in, and he rarely encounters several similar people in the vast Gobi. Zhang Heng really had the idea of ​​being as friendly as possible before pushing the door into this bar.

However, it seems that his original plan is about to fail.

Historians have repeatedly emphasized the devastation caused by the vigorous Westward Movement to the Indians. In the short century, about one million Indians were slaughtered (only in the Westward Movement), and the rest were Forced to relocate to the reserve, but few mention the Chinese sacrifices.

After the Civil War, the United States abolished the slavery system. At the same time, the Westward Movement opened up wasteland, especially the railway required large amounts of cheap labor. Therefore, the merchants finally turned their attention to Southeast Asia. At that time, the Chinese population exploded in the late Qing Dynasty. There was also the turmoil in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Uprisings continued in various places, and the poor who could not survive swarmed to Hong Kong and Macau. Afterwards, they volunteered or were deceived to sail to the Americas and became laborers. Their wages were low, they could endure hardships and be obedient. Kind of dangerous job.

Known as one of the seven major industrial wonders in the world, the Pacific Railway has a total length of more than 3,000 kilometers and runs through the entire American continent. Almost all of the most difficult sections of this railway are completed by Huagong. There is a famous phrase in the later generations, which is called — -Under each sleeper of the Pacific Railway, there is a bone of a Chinese worker.

However, the influx of cheap, almost sleepless cheap labor force has greatly impacted the American labor market, and discrimination against Chinese workers reached its peak at that time, especially when the railway was about to be completed. At that time, because of the fear that these Chinese labor unions would flood into nearby towns to rob jobs, and even a vicious incident in which miners joined together to attack Chinese laborers, they rushed to the Chinese laborer camps with their swords and guns at night, and the frightened Chinese laborers could only flee.

In this era, universal discrimination against Chinese workers is nothing new, and do n’t think that this discrimination is just talking so simple. Zhang Heng does not know if the story told by the bear-like guy in front of him is true. , But he did read some similar real cases.

In the western part 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, and then ran away incognito to drink in other towns. Can't help but drew his gun again to kill the other party, and was surrounded by bailiffs and killed.

There are countless similar things in the West.

This is a place where bullets are better than truth. Everyone is a walking constitution. Whose law is more effective depends on whose bullets are faster.

Zhang Heng was not very angry. In fact, he could understand the other party ’s thoughts. He came to the bar alone, thirsty and tired, and he had no weapons. Not to mention that the guns did not even have a knife, but the opposite, There are seven people, seven men armed to the teeth, strong men and strong men, and they are drinking. At this time, it is hard for you to find some fun to make yourself happy.

Zhang Heng had to admit that he had gone in the wrong direction from the beginning. It did n’t make sense to treat the mob as friendly as possible in a chaotic ground, but it does n’t matter. Dealing with the mob and the villain was his strength, perhaps because He had left Heifan's copy for too long, and for so long he had forgotten what the standard way of dealing with it was.

Zhang Heng then picked up an empty wine glass on the bar and toasted the bear-like man, ”This glass respects you and reminds me of those old memories.”

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

Zhang Heng clasped the wine glass directly on the face of the bear-like man, and then boxed the bottom of the glass. The next moment he heard the sound of the nasal bridge fracture.
