Wild North America 1846

Chapter 199 The Three Sisters

Aguascaliente
The city of Aguascaliente is the only city in the state, hence the name Aguascaliente.

The city of Aguascaliente is located on the banks of the Aguascaliente River, with beautiful scenery on both sides of the river, as if it is a typical Spanish city.

There is the largest Aguascaliente Opera House in Mexico, the ancient St. Mary's Church and more than a dozen other churches in the city. The whole city has pleasant scenery and was once rated as one of the most livable cities in North America.

It's just that the name is too mouthful. Considering that the city of Aguascaliente will be the southernmost city of the Tang Kingdom in the future, Richard has issued a royal decree to rename the city as "Jinling City".

Then, the "Aguascaliente River" that passes through Jinling City is naturally changed to "Qinhuai River", and the "Aguascaliente Opera House" is also changed to "Jinling Opera House".

In this way, it will be more smooth.

The reason why the name "Nanjing" was not considered was because these two words carried a heavy Chinese history, and the small city of Aguascaliente could not afford it, nor could it support such a high honor.

Mexico City
A group of cavalry from the Kingdom of Tang with bright armor appeared on the outskirts of more than ten kilometers away from Mexico City, causing panic among a large number of Mexican refugees. They left their debris and fled to the distance.

Captain Fan Pengfei raised his hand high to stop the brigade of cavalry from moving forward. He reined in the horse and picked up a brass binoculars to look out.

It can be seen from the high hills that there are countless dense refugee shacks along the banks of the river, spreading far to the end of the sky. Hundreds of thousands of refugees live here. Most of them are skinny, walking You can fall down and die as you walk.

at the end of the sky

It is the towering Mexico City, which is located on the lacustrine plain of Lake Texcoco in the southern part of the Mexican Plateau, with an altitude of 2240 meters.

Inherited from the Aztec civilization, coupled with the continuous construction during the Spanish colonial period, the urban area of ​​Mexico City has continued to expand and expanded to the surrounding Mexican states, forming many satellite towns.

Administratively, these towns belong to the State of Mexico, but they have been integrated with the Federal District economically, socially and culturally to form a metropolitan area, including Mexico City and several nearby towns.

this way

The cavalry brigade led by Captain Fan Pengfei saw countless corpses laying on the side of the road and in the scorched field ridges, with their bones exposed. The central and southern states of Mexico suffered unprecedented catastrophe.

"Captain, do you want to arrange for the brothers to launch a charge and give these Mexicans some strength?"

"No need, these refugees are a burden to the Mexican government, let them fend for themselves, there is no need to do anything extra."

"Your Majesty's original date for the Southern Expedition has been postponed again. There should be considerations in this regard, right?"

"Be careful, Ah Feng, don't speculate on the holy will."

"Oh... I was talking too much. Anyway, we attacked everywhere and burned all the grain fields in southern Mexico. It depends on what they will feed their stomachs in the future. If you don't surrender, you will die."

"That's the reason, winning without fighting is the best strategy." Captain Fan Pengfei said this, with a look of infinite admiration in his eyes.

He was born as a grass-roots officer in the Royal Guard Cuirassier Regiment. He was transferred to the combat unit and promoted to lieutenant. After more than a year of combat, he made many meritorious service and was again promoted to captain of the cavalry squadron.

Standing side by side with him was Captain Lin Feng, the deputy captain. The two were officers who were dispatched together. These young officers who had been trained by His Majesty's side were all loyal to the King.

"Clap clap clap..."

There was a crisp gunshot not far from his side, Captain Fan Pengfei suddenly turned his head and asked; "What's the situation... who is shooting?"

From the crisp gunshots, he could tell that this was the Colt 1848 repeating rifle standard equipped with the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom, and it should be fired by one of his own people.

"Report sir, several peeping Mexicans were killed."

"Oh, continue to be vigilant."

"Yes, sir."

Captain Fan Pengfei didn't care about the life and death of a few Mexicans. The cavalry brigade he led was carrying out the mission of clearing the enemy's rear. It had been out for a week, and it was time to go back.

Nowadays, it is difficult to find supplies in the central and southern states of Mexico. Occasionally, some local residents can be caught secretly hiding cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks for tooth sacrifice. A cavalry brigade of more than 200 people can be eaten up in one or two meals.

Those who couldn't finish eating were destroyed on the spot. The cavalry brigade implemented the policy of "strengthening the walls and clearing the fields", but it was only in the Mexican-ruled area.

The supplies I am carrying now are about to run out, and it is time to go back to replenish and rest.

Although the Tang Kingdom's army did not go south in a big way, more than 1 cavalry have been raging in the central and southern states of Mexico for several months. There have been hundreds of battles, large and small, and most of them have won by absolute advantage.

There were also cases of being attacked by local Mexicans. It could only be blamed on the commander's carelessness or compassion. After returning to the camp, he would be punished, at least it would affect his promotion.

The cavalry brigade commanded by Fan Pengfei was just one of the many cavalry troops released by the Tang Kingdom. It traveled hundreds of miles in a week, burned crops everywhere, and defeated two Mexican troops along the way.

More than 300 people in one group, and more than 700 people in one group, after these Mexican troops raised their hands and surrendered, they confiscated their weapons and let them fend for themselves.

These stragglers are very harmful in the countryside. Relying on their physical strength, they hold weapons in their hands and plunder the food hidden by the local Mexican residents. The gangsters most hated by bottom-level refugees.

It's already mid-July
The "Mexico City Famine" intensified, and Fan Pengfei could smell the stench of corpses as far away as the Mexican refugee camp.

In the rivers around Mexico City, there are many corpses floating and sinking at a glance. This harsh environment, in turn, leads to rampant diseases and becomes a humanitarian disaster.

When the emperor was angry, he buried a million corpses.

These words are not just for fun, but for the truth. Captain Fan Pengfei has tempered his heart as hard as iron in the conquest wars over the years. He is no longer the refugee boy who just landed on the North American continent from Jiaodong Peninsula. But a vigorous and resolute young officer.

observed for a while

No Mexican army dared to take the lead. Captain Fan Pengfei felt bored, so he turned his horse's head and ordered: "Let's go, the cavalry brigade returns to Jinling, we are going home."

"Oh... go home!"

Hearing the captain's order, the cavalry behind them immediately cheered loudly, and they couldn't help showing yearning expressions on their faces.

Today's Jinling City is a large barracks, stationed with as many as 3.6 officers and soldiers, as well as thousands of Chinese and [-] to [-] Mexican women. It is a "city of intoxication."

Entered Jinling City
As far as the eye can see, there are beautiful young Mexican women everywhere, most of them are concubines or slaves of the Chinese, as well as prostitutes from brothels and Chuguan, and waitresses in bars and teahouses, adding a touch of color to this heavily populated city.

Mexico has accumulated wealth for hundreds of years, and a large amount of wealth lost in the manors and castles that were breached in those towns was gathered in Jinling City.

Although the returned cavalry had almost consumed all their food and supplies, the packages carried by the auxiliary horses were still bulging, and they made a loud ping-pong noise when they walked.

Inside, it contained the captured cavalry.

In Fan Pengfei's cavalry brigade, there are several beautiful Mexican girls who are particularly eye-catching. Among them, there are three identical beautiful Caucasian girls who are twin sisters. They are just 14 years old, and they are beautiful and charming.

This is the prey captured by Fan Pengfei's cavalry brigade when it broke through a manor in a southern state. After returning home, he plans to honor the commander of the cavalry division. This is also the heart of his subordinates.

subconsciously
Captain Fan Pengfei felt that his teacher, Colonel Tian Mantun, would not detain these three beauties, but would offer them to His Majesty the King for his enjoyment, so that he would be honored as well.

The standard one-man and two-horse configuration of this cavalry brigade will be equipped with an additional 40 pack horses to enhance the continuous combat capability because of deep-depth operations in enemy territory.

Loaded with trophies, hundreds of war horses roared away to the north, leaving only a large cloud of smoke and dust in the air.

in a few days

Jinling City

The Royal Palace is located in a magnificent Spanish palace building in the city, only more than 300 meters away from the towering St. Mary's Basilica, and is one of the landmark buildings in the city.

Wearing a loose brocade robe and holding a lighted cigar in his hand, Li Cha looked at the three Mexican girls in front of him with a very aggressive gaze.

These three Mexican girls are dressed in Spanish-style costumes, with black hair and black eyes, but they have the characteristics of typical Caucasian girls. Their delicate skin is white and shiny, beautiful and charming, and their bodies are well developed.

What's even more rare is that these three girls look exactly alike, and they can be called stunners in the world.

Under Li Cha's aggressive eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, the three girls couldn't help shivering. They looked pitiful and extremely alluring.

"Mantun, where did you find these three little things? They are really good, so let's keep them." After looking at them for a while, Li Cha said with satisfaction.

This sentence "Mantun" almost made Colonel Tian Mantun so happy that his bones were crisp.

Forcibly suppressing the extreme joy in his heart, he clasped his fists in a respectful manner and replied; "Sir Qi Zou, I asked the little ones to be more careful when fighting in the south. This was presented by a cavalry captain below, and I dare not take credit for it. "

"Then take care of him. I like this gift very much. You have a heart."

"I congratulate Your Majesty."

"Ah."

Li Cha responded lightly, waved his hand and let Colonel Tian Mantun, who was full of joy, go down.

There is no shortage of concubines in the royal court to warm the bed, but now there are only two famous concubines, one is Qin Yufei, who conceived in October and gave birth to a son. .

One is Zheng Xiuniang, who conceived in October and gave birth to a daughter. She was named Zhaoxun, the seventh rank, and was called "Ms. Xiu" in the palace.

The inner court of the Great Tang Kingdom followed the etiquette of the ancient Tang Dynasty. There was only one queen, who was a married woman of the Ming Dynasty.

There are two concubines and concubines of the first rank, and they are called "Mrs.

There are two people, Liang and Di, and they are the third grade.

There are six people from Liangyuan, and they are the fourth rank.

There are ten people in Chenghui, and they are five grades.

There are 16 people in Zhaoxun, and they are the seventh rank.

There are 24 people in Fengyi, and they are of the ninth rank.

In fact, this is in accordance with the regulations in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Cha did not intend to set up such a concubine in the royal court, but a large number of old scholars quoted scriptures and argued hard on the ancient system, and did not give in at all.

In desperation, they can only obey the wishes of the public.

After all, the Chinese place the most emphasis on tradition, respecting their ancestors, talking about etiquette, and discussing rules, and the Tang Kingdom couldn't help having three wives and four concubines, which is called "Oriental tradition".

His Majesty the King is the ruler of a country, wouldn't it be normal for there to be more women in the harem?
As the lord of a country, the important matter of Li Cha's marriage to the queen has been handled by the royal secretary-general Gu Yan for many years. The three ladies to be elected have already arrived at the Maple Leaf Palace in Chang'an, and they are waiting for King Li Cha to personally select them.

These three great ladies are all from the mainland of China, and they are all the daughters-in-law of high-ranking families. Some of their fathers and grandparents were high-ranking officials in one side of the border, some came from a scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River, and some were from high-ranking families in Guangdong Province.

Only such a lady from a great family can be worthy of the position of Queen of the Tang Dynasty. These three women will marry, but one is the queen and the other two are side concubines.

Who can be the queen will be decided by Li Cha himself.

in the palace

Li Cha walked over, and the three Mexican girls in full costumes all lowered their heads, their delicate bodies trembling slightly, obviously very afraid of meeting the eyes of this cruel and tyrannical "Devil King Richard" in the legend, fearing that their souls would fall to hell forever.

Li Cha stretched out his hand to pick up a young girl's soft chin, and what he saw was an extremely beautiful face, with tears in the beautiful black eyes, and the flickering and trembling of the long eyelashes, which made people love and love.

"What's your name?" he asked.

"Your Majesty, I am Aisha Angelica Santo Domingo Rivera Gonzalez, the eldest of the three sisters of the Gonzalez family, I beg you not to hurt us, we are willing to do Please have mercy on anything that pleases you." Although she was extremely scared in her heart, the girl named Aisha still expressed her inner request.

Li Cha was taken aback by her long name, frowned and thought for a while, and ordered in an unquestionable tone; "Your name is too long, from now on you will be called Aisha."

Then, he raised the other two beautiful faces with his hands, and said domineeringly; "Then...you will be called Emma, ​​and the other one will be called Ai Li, remember your new name, from now on this will be yours. The name in the royal court."

"Follow Your Majesty's orders." The three girls did not dare to disobey, and replied crisply at the same time.

"Hahaha...Okay."

Li Cha looked at these three pretty and lively beauties in the world, like little white sheep being presented to the table, couldn't help laughing up to the sky, the laughter was full of the vigor of a conqueror, wild and unrestrained.

These exotic girls are not bad for a proper change of taste.
