Chapter Fifty-Seven: Chaos on Mess! John Brown
"Ahh Hurry up and put out the fire! ”
"Where's the water!? Fight the fire! ”
The crackling sound, intertwined with chaotic shouts, hit the three-story building and ignited a raging fire!
This fire was lit by the group of people later, this group of people was menacing, Li Mengyang looked at at them at least seven or eight hundred people, and as soon as they appeared, no one cared about the post office where Li Mengyang and his party were hiding.
What are these seven or eight hundred people doing?
According to Li Mengyang's judgment, they must be slave owners and slaves in the south, because there are many blacks among them, so they should be black slaves. Of course, didn't the guys before say it themselves, they were going to kill the southern slave owners, and now, the southerners are here.
"Hey! These guys are really savage! "It was the big man Bill who spoke, and everyone could tell from the time he told the story just now that he was a northerner and supported abolition.
"The previous cop was pro-Southerner?" Matthew was talking to Big Man Bill as he watched the flames, and the two of them had a lot of common language.
"Of course, oh yes!" It was at this point that the big man Bill came up with a question, "I haven't asked you whether you are in favor of slavery or abolition?" ”
Affection, the big man, Bill, only now remembered this important issue, but now the balance of power in the post office ......
"What if we're pro-South?" Eleanor said this with a smiling voice.
"Huh? Then this ......" The big man's face turned pale in an instant.
"Hahaha...... Lie to you! We are all free people, and of course we are in favor of abolition! Eleanor laughed triumphantly.
"......" Li Mengyang looked at this qiē, his brows tightened, on the one hand, the big man Bill seems to have some unknown origins, maybe he is too good to speak, generally we Chinese feel that people who are too good to talk are unreliable, and on the other hand, that is, we do support the abolition of slavery, but it is the southern guy who is dominant now!
yes, what if these seven or eight hundred people come to deal with a few of them?
Looking at it now, it seems that the policeman is dead, and as for whether there are dead people in the burning building, I don't know yet, but what happened after that, this ......
Bang bang! Bang bang! Boom, boom......
All of a sudden, there were people coming, and there were no small numbers, and the point was that they were all white!
"It's John Brown's old bastard!"
"Fack! Fight with them! ”
"Well, forget it."
The two groups of people immediately opened fire on each other, and for a while the gunfire continued, but soon the people on the southern side were a little overwhelmed.
"Black slaves! You weren't born cheap! ”
"Black slaves! Don't die for the slave owners! ”
"Blood must be used to cleanse the land from evil!"
The newcomers over there know how to use psychological warfare very well, and shout directly, the southerners naturally can't hold on, their main composition is black slaves, but they all know that the people on the other side want to liberate themselves.
The word emancipation may be difficult to understand, but there is something that is easy to understand, and that is that if a black slave wants to be free now, even if they are free from the slave owner's control and come to the north, or beyond, they need to pay 600 dollars to buy their freedom!
That's what the law says, so wouldn't it be great if the people on the other side could make a fuss about abolishing slavery? You can save at least 600 dollars, which is a lot of money, and yes, the slaves are actually very simple.
Soon, the seven or eight hundred people could not hold on, and they fled.
"Hahaha!"
"Well done!"
"Dixie go eat!"
Soon, the battle came to an end, and the gang that was called the Dixons, they retreated, although they were more numerous, but they were still cowardly. However, Li Mengyang noticed that there were no dead people after a random fight, and the marksmanship of these guys seemed to be too bad.
"Why do you call them Dixies?" XIAOSHANZI IS NOW IN THE STAGE OF LEARNING ENGLISH, SO HE CAN UNDERSTAND SOME OF IT, BUT HE IS ALSO UNFAMILIAR WITH THE MEANING OF "DIXIE" (DICIE), OF COURSE, HE USES ENGLISH.
"I'm afraid it's a personal name." Li Mengyang also does not understand this history very well, to be honest, as far as American history is all about, we Chinese really do not study much, because one reason is enough, American history is too short, what is there to study?
Still, the word was heard by the big man, Bill.
"Oh, Chinese workers, you don't understand what 'Dixon' means, do you?" VERY GOOD, HE STILL TREATS LI MENGYANG AND OTHERS AS ORDINARY CHINESE WORKERS, "LET ME EXPLAIN, THAT IS, BECAUSE THE 'MASON-AND-DIXON' (MASON-AND-DIXON' (MASON-AND-DIXON' IS INDEED A PERSONAL NAME, THEY SURVEYED SUCH A LINE, AND THIS LINE SEPARATES THE FREE STATE AND THE SLAVE STATE, THE NORTH IS THE FREE STATE, AND THE SOUTH IS THE SLAVE STATE, SO THEY ALSO CALL THEMSELVES DICKS, AND THE SLAVE OWNERS ARE MR-DIXY." ”
With such an explanation, Li Mengyang and they naturally understood, but the situation outside the post office has changed.
"Hey! There are also people who support the Southerners! ”
"That's right! The remnants of the Dixie are still there? ”
"Hey! Friends! Where are the people you are talking about, let's go and kill them together! ”
Those who came later, the guys who just drove out the Southerners, they joined up with the gang who killed the policeman before, this convergence doesn't matter, they don't care about who killed the policeman now, who is guilty, anyway, it's so messy, it is estimated that the policeman died in vain, but the police's business can be ignored, but just now someone came out for the southerners.
So, a group of people rode horses, armed with guns, and surrounded the post office!
"Gentlemen! Can you reason with those guys? "Originally, there was nothing to do with the post office staff, and they had nothing to do with either party, but now they are really a little scared, and they are trembling when they speak.
This big group of people came around, and the buildings over there were all set on fire just now, can our small post office be spared?
"Matthew, are you going to talk about it?" When Li Mengyang saw this situation, he didn't want to implicate the innocent, in addition, they were actually innocent, and they didn't support the slave owners.
"Me?" Matthew pointed to his face, which was a standard villain's face, thin, with protruding eyes, and his standard Irish accent would definitely mislead others, the Irish were not much better than black slaves in the current United States.
In this case, it is natural that everyone's eyes fall on the big man Bill.
"Don't look at me, I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't know anyone well." The big man Bill was able to say so much just now, but at this critical moment, he was coaxed.
It's over, what can I do? Do you want to go out under a white flag and say to the people on the other side that we are in favor of abolition?
But the problem is, there is no white flag!
Who wears white cloth these days? Even if it turns into yellow cloth and black cloth not long after wearing it, what can I do?
"Which of you wore white panties?!" To say that Li Mengyang is really witty!
This is definitely not a surrender, this 'white flag' is used to prevent those crazy guys outside from shooting, everyone is against slavery, if you are killed, isn't it too wrong?
But at this time, ask such a question, this, this......
"Oops!" Don't forget that we still have a female surname here, can Eleanor's face be good-looking? She just took a sip and ran out!
"Hey! You don't want to die! To be honest, Li Mengyang always knew that Eleanor was very bold, but he didn't expect that this little girl was so bold that she wouldn't be shot when she ran out?
"Brother Li, be careful!" But it couldn't be stopped, so Yang Guangren held down Li Mengyang at that time, afraid that he would show his head and be shot.
Fortunately, after Eleanor went out, there was no gun fired on the other side.
"Huh? Who's this? ”
"What's a little girl?"
"Hey! Where did the little girl come from! ”
Although Eleanor was dressed in men's clothes, her long hair was so obvious that the group was a little stunned.
"I'm not a little girl!" But Eleanor was so bold that she directly refuted the other party.
"Hahaha......" At this time, there was a leading white man who smiled, this person looked not young, his face was full of folds, but his eyes and drooping mouth showed that this person's character must be very resolute, so he asked: "Then this lady, can I ask who you are?" I'm John Brown! ”
John Brown?
Li Mengyang had heard others shout this name just now, and now, he finally saw this person, and Li Mengyang seemed to have seen this person's name somewhere, but he didn't remember it too clearly.
"My name is Eleanor! Eleanor Chesnat! Eleanor didn't think so much, she gave her name, "I'm here to tell you, me, and the people in the post office behind me, they all support the abolition of slavery!" I swear to God! ”
"Huh?" This doesn't seem to be the same as what I said before, huh? And if that's the case, then the conflict at the beginning, the chaos, isn't that their own people beating their own people?
This matter is somewhat embarrassing, but now she is facing a little girl, she should be innocent, she shouldn't lie, right?
"Can't trust her!"
"This girl is a liar!"
There are a lot of people here, so there must be a lot of people who disagree, and if what this girl said is true, then it would be too embarrassing just now!
"Let your companions come out, right? Just support abolition! Then we are friends! John Brown chose to believe, there is no need not to believe, just those few people, do they dare to deceive them?
"Come out, all of you! Don't look like a coward! Eleanor shouted triumphantly to the post office behind her.
Naturally, the staff of the post office were happy, but Li Mengyang and his party all had a fever on their faces......
(Ask for recommendations!) Ask for support! Thank you all for the black car! )
