A large number of Mexican soldiers who were hiding in the pile of corpses and pretending to be dead got up with their hands raised up. Many of them were so frightened that they lost control of their urine and left the battlefield tremblingly under the guard of knives and guns.

final statistics;
There were as many as 4100 Mexican captives with full beards and tails. They pretended to be dead and hid in the corpses during the fatal blow, and escaped the disaster by luck.

The soldiers of the Kingdom of Tang drove the prisoners to clean up the battlefield. The captured weapons and equipment were piled up into a hill, and the dead bodies were thrown in rows at the mouth of the valley. They were densely packed and could not be seen at a glance, which shocked the nerves of the Mexican soldiers in the valley all the time.

This hellish scene is more useful than any threatening language. The troops from various Mexican states have different opinions, and Admiral Hector Dos Santos tried his best to suppress the situation.

from early evening

A large number of Mexican troops fled the valley in an organized way. The direction they left was their hometown. These Mexican soldiers have been shrouded in deep fear and dare not fight anymore.

The only thought of these defeated soldiers is to run away quickly, as far away as possible, and go back to their hometown.

From evening to dark, an endless stream of Mexican soldiers fled in the valley, and dozens of internal strife occurred. Hundreds of Mexican officers died in this fear-shrouded night.

It's over, it's over.

During the Battle of Taniguchi, the one-sided massacre of the Tang Kingdom had already destroyed the resistance of the Mexican stragglers. Any officer who dared to stop the soldiers from fleeing would often be shot to death or hacked to death.

Most of the remaining 2.7 Mexican troops in the valley fled overnight, and Admiral Hector dos Santos was powerless to stop them at all. In desperation, he swallowed a gun and committed suicide just before dawn.

The remaining Mexican army, with less than [-] people, went out of the valley to surrender early, and joined the servant army of the Tang Kingdom, becoming a Mexican cannon fodder force willing to be driven.

For this reason, Li Cha specially gave the designations of the two divisions, namely the 1st Division and the 2nd Division of the Mexican National Volunteer Army. Each Mexican Servant Army Musketeer Division governs 6000 soldiers, including more than 800 cavalry, and is still equipped with old-fashioned flintlock gun.

After this battle
As the news of Taniguchi's great victory spread, the entire country of Mexico was shaken, the Kingdom of Tang Dynasty rejoiced, and the whole country celebrated with lion and dragon dances, while the Americans were silent.

White House
President Taylor silently read the news briefing from Mexico, sighed with depression, and said;

"I knew that this time, the Tang Kingdom had to squeeze the Mexicans to their bones and suck their marrow. Northern Mexico must have been lost, but I didn't expect that crazy King Richard to have such a big appetite and want to swallow the land of the seven states all at once. Nearly one million square kilometers."

"His appetite has always been good. If there are no accidents, the territory of the Tang Kingdom will soon surpass that of the United States. This is really depressing news." Secretary of State Roxy Walters shook his head and said.

in the oval office

The White House chief of staff Stephen Ruth standing at the presidential table frowned, glanced at the indifferent President Taylor, sighed and said; "The situation in North America has become very clear, the British and the Easterners of the Tang Kingdom are working together , has completely locked the future development space of the United States. Looking around, there is basically no possibility of expanding the territory, unless the Datang Kingdom is truly defeated militarily."

"Did you find out? The Tang Kingdom was able to really rise and inflict heavy damage on the federal army several times, in fact, it really relied on sharp weapons and equipment, and the talented weapon designer Mr. Samuel Colt Earl was among them , played a key role that cannot be ignored." In order to strengthen the strength of his speech, Secretary of State Roxy Walters stretched out a finger and shook it in mid-air a few times, and continued after winning everyone's attention;
"We are only short of a talented weapon designer from the Datang Kingdom. Mr. Samuel Colt used his clever brain to arm the army of the Datang Kingdom to the teeth. We lack this."

Secretary of State Roxy Walters' words caused considerable shock in a narrow conversation in the Oval Office, the top policy-making circle.

Most of the high-level members of the party, headed by President Taylor, have military backgrounds. If you interpret this matter from a professional perspective, you will find that it makes a lot of sense.

silent for a while
President Taylor showed a weeping expression on his face, and said;
"It's a pity that there is only one famous genius weapon designer Samuel Colt in the world, and the wealth and glory that King Richard gave him cannot be given by the federal government.

Without such souls, we can't even handle the industrial production of all-copper fixed bullets. With the slow speed of manual production today, the annual output of weapons companies is not enough to fight a small war.

Whenever we feel that we have caught up with the weapons and equipment of the Tang Kingdom, they will always come up with more powerful designs.

This is the case with the Colt 1848 lever repeater rifle, and the problem is back to the original point;

We can't design a reliable all-copper fixed bullet production equipment, and we can't mass-produce it. After all, it is a dream. "

"Mr. President, there are two big problems here." White House Chief of Staff Stephen Ruth interrupted at the right time, drawing everyone's attention to himself, and continued;
"The first question is that the Colt Arms Company has applied for dozens of weapon patents, which have been protected by the UK, France, and the Tang Kingdom, and some patents have also been approved by the US Federation.

If it's just an ordinary character, of course we can ignore it.

But don't forget
Colt Arms is the business of Richard the Devil and Samuel Colt, they don't like to imitate, and they have enough means to cause us big trouble.

The second question is that we can't discover the world's top talented weapon designer like Samuel Colt. Maybe it will appear in the future, but not now. "

Speaking of here
Stephen Ruth spread his hands and made a concluding speech with a deflated authority; "We need a genius like Samuel Colter, so we can even ignore the first question, but unfortunately we don't have one.

In the final analysis, there is only one Samuel Colt difference between the United States Federation and the Datang Kingdom. "

His words hit everyone's mood even more. After a moment of dullness in the room, Finance Minister Spint Shore said sullenly; "Even with Samuel Colt, the Ministry of Finance cannot take Provide enough funds to reequip the troops."

"The problem you said can be solved, but a weapon designer who lacks talent has no solution."

Treasurer Spint Shor heard Secretary of State Roxy Walters' sharp rebuttal, opened his mouth but closed it, and was really hit.

The U.S. federal government can spend hundreds of millions of dollars in pursuit of victory, so can it really not spare tens of millions of dollars to replace equipment?
The cavalry encounter in Kansas completely silenced those Texan rednecks who have always been rebellious.

Whenever the United States feels that it is doing well again, the Datang Kingdom will always take out sharper weapons to slap the face fiercely, so no one dares to start a war before finding out the details.

Mexican President Santayo provoked the "Devil King Richard", what will happen?
every time i think of it
In the Oval Office, a group of senior federal core leaders headed by President Taylor felt a sense of fear involuntarily rising in their hearts, as if a solemn shadow shrouded them.

Those nightmares of fiascos emerged from the bottom of my heart, making everyone lose their voices.

"It is impossible for the American Federation to have a talented weapon designer in a short time, but if the Tang Kingdom is also lost, Samuel Colt, does it mean that in the foreseeable future, the two sides will be on the same level again superior?"

At this moment

White House chief of staff Stephen Ruth made a heart-warming proposal, which immediately caught everyone's attention.

Even President Taylor couldn't help sitting upright, with an inexplicable meaning flashing in his eyes, as if he was seriously considering this issue.

Now it seems
Samuel Colt's endless genius inventions have always been a poisonous thorn in the heart of Yankees. No one knows when he will have new inventions, which will once again let the United States taste the bitterness of defeat in the war.

For example, in the just-concluded Battle of Taniguchi, the Tang Kingdom suddenly took out a new type of breech-loading artillery, which not only has a long range but is also powerful, and the rate of fire can reach an astonishing rate of one shot per minute. Mexicans.

The information channels of the Americans are not comparable to those of Mexico. Not only the feedback speed is fast but also the information is detailed.

The army of the Tang Dynasty used a new type of breech-loading artillery, and the large-scale use of Colt 1848-style repeating rifles is such a big thing, of course it will not be ignored.

Every time I think about it, it makes Yankee feel a chill down his spine, thinking of the fear of being dominated by the sharp weapons of the Tang Kingdom...

The White House Chief of Staff Stephen Ruth's proposal has indeed won the acquiescence of the core senior officials in the Oval Office, including President Taylor, and will be implemented by a special department.

The Battle of Taniguchi broke out between Tang and Mexico on July 1850, 7. Within one day, 16 Mexican troops were wiped out, of which more than 4.7 were killed, more than 1.6 were captured, and the rest fled.

The Tang Kingdom suffered more than 410 casualties, of which 273 were killed, and won a big victory at a small cost.

The news shocked the world.

since the beginning of august

After the Tang Kingdom army stabilized its rule in the seven northern states of Mexico, it sent cavalry divisions to continue to penetrate into the central state of Mexico, burning, killing and looting everywhere, creating panic.

Millions of Mexican refugees fled in panic and flocked to Mexico City in the south-central region, forming an unprecedented refugee wave, which put great pressure on the Mexican government's food supply.

9/3

The Rio Rancho-Juarez-Chihuahua-Cuencame, the capital of Durango state, was built day and night by a large number of Mexican convicts. The 22-meter-wide central avenue with a total length of 1460 kilometers from north to south was completed.

In the same direction, the Rio Rancho-Juárez section of the "Central Railway", which is only more than 500 meters apart from north to south, is about [-] kilometers away. It is expected to be completed one and a half months ahead of schedule.

King Richard personally attended the completion and opening ceremony of the "Central Avenue" held in Cuencame, the capital of Durango State, highly praised the efforts made by relevant parties, and encouraged the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make persistent efforts , continue to vigorously promote the construction of the main railway and highway projects in the seven northern states, and present the 5th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China with tangible achievements.

a month and a half later
10/19

About 500 kilometers of the "Central Railway" Rio Rancho-Juárez section of the railway line was completed. Occupation deepened.

On the central railway line, there are more than 10 Mexican convicts working day and night. It has been more than half a year, and thousands of kilometers of railway embankment and hundreds of bridges and culverts have been built. This is the same as the "Central Avenue" The ultra-large-scale infrastructure projects carried out at the same time have already yielded fruitful results.

Now that the project has entered the final stage, large-scale laying of railway tracks has begun, extending southward at a rate of 10-12 kilometers per day, and 330 to 350 kilometers of railways can be laid in one month.

The Mexican convicts who are now fighting on the central railway line have successively moved to other railway construction projects, such as the "Southern Extension of the Central Railway" extending southward from Cuencame, for example, from east to west across the four northern regions of Mexico. "Quad State Lines" of states, such as the "Southern Line" from southern Sinaloa to southern Sakalucas

Datang Kingdom spared no effort to build a large-scale construction project in the seven northern states of Mexico to build a major transportation artery mainly composed of railways and highways. This move strongly stimulated the development of domestic heavy industries, mainly the steel industry, and attracted a large number of Chinese immigrants to arrive in the north continuously. In various states, workers and businesses, and land and property purchases have set off a "southern development boom".

Nov. 1850, 12

The Rio Rancho-Juárez-Chihuahua section of the "Central Railway", about 837 kilometers long, was fully opened to traffic, and the construction of the "Four-State Line" and the "Southern Line" started successively, and the wave of large-scale construction continued to deepen.

Nov. 1851, 2

It took one year and four days for King Li Cha of the Tang Kingdom to lead his army to invade the south, and the Central Railway Rio Rancho-Juárez-Chihuahua-Cuncame totaled 4 kilometers of main railway line was completed.

In the construction of this railway artery project, more than 2.55 convicts fell forever. These builders, who have overcome all obstacles, used their lives to connect a land bridge that is more than 3700 kilometers long from north to south.

The northernmost part is divided into three parts from Phoenix (Denver), and one part passes through Wyoming along the northwest line and finally arrives at Helena, the northern town of Montana.

A line along the northeast line reaches Peel, the capital of South Dakota, but cannot continue to North Dakota because of the obstruction of the broad Missouri River.

A railway line is drawn from Phoenix (Denver) to the east, and the nearest city to the United States is Omaha, which is about 830 kilometers away from Chicago to the west and only 277 kilometers away from Kansas City to the north. It is the bridgehead city in the northern part of the Tang Kingdom .

The Central Railway is the longest railway line in the Tang Kingdom, with a length of more than 3700 kilometers from the north (Helena) to the south (Cuncame).

After the main line is fully opened to traffic, the southern extension of the Central Railway continues to be under construction. Its ultimate goal is Aguas Calientes, about 375 kilometers south of Cuencame. After its completion, the total length of the entire line will reach 4075 kilometers.

Aguascaliente is a state in the central part of Mexico. This is also the eighth state occupied by the army of the Kingdom of Tang. The state capital is Aguascaliente, where King Richard is currently stationed.

The Kingdom of Datang has a heavy army stationed here. It has assembled a total of 1.35 troops and 1.2 Mexican servants in the city of Aguascaliente. They are calmly gathering troops to prepare for the decisive battle between the two countries under Mexico City.
