Wild North America 1846

Chapter 283 The Mexican Conspiracy

After simply perfunctory the high-level officials of the Mexican government, and then gave some sweets, Li Cha sent these high-level officials of the Mexican government who had gained a lot to go back. There is no point in wasting time on them.

Seeing that April is about to enter, the resistance of the rebels of the Aztec Republic in southern Mexico has been limited to a small area of ​​high mountains, and basically there are no waves to be seen.

It is not realistic to enter the vast mountains to encircle and suppress, and the existing troops cannot do it.

The four field divisions of the southern military region and the armed forces of the Mexican government entered the rest period one after another, and some troops were stationed on the main traffic roads and guarding the towns in and out of the mountainous areas.

On the one hand, the rebels in the mountains were besieged with strong walls and cleared fields, on the other hand, they actively evacuated the captives, emptied the population of the local towns and towns, and implemented the "extinct household plan".On the other hand, awards are awarded for meritorious service, and they are going to reward the officers and soldiers who participated in the war.

Expected May~June
More than 1 mainland recruits from Salt Lake City will arrive in Mexico City by train one after another, replacing retired veterans to undertake stationing and local garrison tasks, and continue to eliminate bandits and bandits.

After this round of severe blows, the population of more than 120 million people in the rebellious southern Aztec Republic has been reduced by more than half. After many retired field division veterans are rewarded, most of them will bring some beautiful Mexican women and The captives, in varying numbers, returned to the fiefdom or the location of the meritorious fields obtained for their meritorious service, and began the process of building their homes.

This will inevitably lead to a further reduction in the population of the Aztec Republic. Many Chinese veterans need labor to build manors, so they will naturally focus on Mexican captives.

It doesn't matter whether these people are rebels or not, anyway, if they say they are him, they are prisoners. The military turned a blind eye to this, and the royal government refused to comment.

After all, it is not in China, so there is no need to be too strict.

Infiltrating and swallowing Mexico is not a matter of a year or two. Although the upper echelon has a consensus on this, it is necessary to find a suitable opportunity. After all, there are still countries such as Britain and France staring at it, and they will always be in their ears. On and on.

It's not that Li Cha is afraid of them, but that there is no need to be too rampant.

I just swallowed a piece of Costa Rica in my stomach, and I am slowly digesting it. If I immediately reach out to Mexico, it will be too ugly to eat.

While living in Chapultepec Castle, Richard handled some matters related to the establishment of the Mexican and southern Aztec governments, and decided on a railway construction plan funded by the Tang Kingdom and Mexico to provide labor and land.

The new railway line is drawn from the Gulf of Mexico Railway and connects the main cities of Mexico and the Aztec Republic. This is a railway trunk line jointly constructed by the three countries. Datang Kingdom holds 82% of the equity and owns 10 kilometers of land on both sides of the railway line All and development rights.

In the name of the railway police, the Datang Kingdom will send thousands of armed personnel to the above two countries, as an important force to maintain social stability, demonstrating the influence of the kingdom.

Nov. 1858, 5

The new Aztec Republic was formally established, and the president of the government was assumed by a close relative of the Rodriguez family. This was the result of the high-level political power game of the Mozambique government, and the Tang Kingdom chose to approve it.

The new president is called Ribera Rodriguez, a descendant of Hispanic whites, who once served as the police chief of the Republic of Mexico City, and personally suppressed a large number of Mexican national liberals and anarchists. under inspection.

It doesn't matter whether the running dog is good or not for the time being, so that when it bites people, it must bite crazily, and then it is a qualified running dog.

The royal family of the Tang Dynasty was not idle, and took the large southern mine with the second largest silver production in Mexico as its own, and put 2.3 Mexican coolies into it by the way.

It doesn't matter whether they are prisoners of war or not. The important thing is that the occupying army feels that these strong Mexicans are not good people, and it is necessary to receive re-education in hard labor camps.

The remnants of the defeated rebels from the former Aztec Republic were besieged in a small mountainous area in the south of Tarcana. There are less than 4000 people left, including the military and political leaders, and some women and children. They may live in the wild in the future. like life.

The coalition forces have occupied all the traffic arteries and towns around the mountainous area, and the local residents have packed up and moved, forming a large uninhabited area surrounding the mountainous area.

under these circumstances
Unless the remnants of the southern rebels come out and surrender, they will collapse on their own in a short time. Apart from the supplies they carry with them, they can't even replenish the most basic salt.

Adult men are better, how can those women and children carry it?

Although Guatemala, the neighboring country in the south, is adjacent to the Tacana Mountains, this small country in Central America dare not flirt with the remnants of these rebels, for fear of attracting the anger of the Tang Kingdom.

The senior officials of the Mexican government secretly discussed that there was no need to spend so much trouble. The remnants of the previous government are already bereaved dogs. Could it be possible to turn the world upside down?

This erroneous view was severely reprimanded by His Majesty the King;
"They're all short-sighted idiots. If it wasn't for the kingdom's army going south, you idiots would be the ones running away with their heads in their hands. A well-managed country is full of corruption, and the people are struggling to survive. How dare you talk about the strategy of governing the country?
With this level of governance of your dignitaries, you can only manage one village at most.

Regardless of the fact that the remnants of the southern rebels have come to an end, in my opinion, none of the military and political officials who fled into the deep mountains is less capable than you, and they have great influence in the southern states.

At least they know how to unite the people and buy people's hearts.

There is an old Chinese saying: if you beat a snake, you will not die, but you will suffer from it.

Most of these remnants of the rebels who would rather throw themselves into the mountains than surrender are nationalists with firm beliefs. After experiencing the temper of failure, their will will be stronger.

Therefore, none of these extremely dangerous elements can stay. The army stationed in the southern part of the Aztec Republic must be mentally prepared for a long-term blockade.

At least within 2 to 3 years, they must not be transferred easily. "

A storm of reprimands frightened the top leaders of the Mexican government to shrink their heads, and they all kept silent, and no longer dared to bully them.

Now stationed around the Tacana Mountains are the 202nd and 204th Divisions of the Southern Military Region, as well as the 21000st and 9th Divisions of the New Aztec Republic, which were transferred from the Mexican government forces, with a total of more than 33 officers and soldiers. Guards were set up for [-] important towns and [-] traffic arteries, and all the population was relocated except for a few local women.

After dealing with the matters related to the southern tour, Li Cha set foot on the return trip to Chang'an City at the end of May with more than 5 beautiful Mexican girls and countless treasures and antiques from various places, including ancient Aztec statues and totem stone pillars. journey of.

His Majesty the King plans to set up a special Mexican culture museum in a large side hall of the Chang'an Palace to introduce the ancient Indian tribal civilization and Aztec culture, as well as the historical features of Spain's more than 300-year rule period, as a private collection of the royal family.

Relevant trains were dispatched 17 times before a large number of treasures, antiques and personnel were transported, which heralded the end of His Majesty's trip to the south.

The train platform in Mexico City is bustling with people.

A train that just arrived brought hundreds of Chinese immigrants. Most of them were immigrants who had just finished their bonded labor contracts. Some of them had been in North America for three years, and some had been in North America for four years. Open the door.

Judging from their demeanor, these Chinese people are full of longing for a new life. Whether it is hearsay or news about southern Mexico from newspapers, the vast majority of Chinese immigrants choose to believe in the Royal Government.

in mobilization
The Royal Government gave a detailed introduction of Mexico's long history of development, unique architectural features of Aztec and Spanish civilizations, and a large number of barren suburban manors and land.

Residents of Chinese descent who are willing to immigrate to this area can obtain 10 acres of land for free, and pay a transfer fee of 5 acres of land through a loan, totaling 150 yuan.

The Royal Government also revealed in the introduction that if you go early, you may get a Mexican woman from the local area at a low price to start a family, which attracts a large number of unmarried Chinese men.

During the period of bonded labor, the employer will also pay 1 to 2 yuan a month for living expenses, and there is also wages for extra overtime work. Most Chinese workers who are good at saving have saved a sum of money, ranging from 60 to 40 yuan to [-] yuan.

As soon as the train arrived, someone shouted: "There are female captives ready to be escorted in the square of the train station in front. No matter whether they are beautiful or ugly, they are 30 yuan each. First come, first served!"

I don't know if someone spread the news on purpose, but it immediately caused a sensation. Many Chinese immigrants rushed away with large and small luggage on their backs, causing a commotion on the platform.

Lieutenant Fan Pengju and Captain Hu Hanbiao, who had just arrived here, and several Royal Guards officers looked at the square in the distance with surprised expressions when they saw this. It was so crowded with people.

Lieutenant Liu Shunli couldn't help curling his lips, and said, "The 201st division's business is too obvious, and they specially arranged for people to come to the train station to shout, it's really fucking amazing."

"Don't talk about others, this income is regarded as extra money for the 201st Division. Anyway, the officers have a share. This is the rule, and they are not using the 201st Division's signboard!"

"Hmph, what sign do you need? The 201st Division took over the beauty job in Mexico City, and now this is their territory. These women who were taken from southern Mexico, without the acquiescence of the 201st Division, who would dare to openly trade them? I Look at them all taking advantage of the money."

"Old Liu, I don't like to hear your words. If the 201st Division gains benefits, it will definitely not forget the brother troops. The benefits will be shared. What the hell are you pretending to be a good person here? When you come here to pay tribute and collect money , I don’t think you are left behind, did you get 4 beautiful Mexican women to take back? How do you think the army is jealous of making money?”

"Oh, Lao Fan, that's not what I meant."

"Then what else do you mean? Only the state officials are allowed to set fire, and the people are not allowed to light the lamps. The officials above all turn a blind eye. If you want you to come out and be a justice envoy, then first put your four Mexican concubines Go back, I will believe you this time."

Lieutenant Fan Pengju left his colleague Lieutenant Liu Shunli speechless, smiled awkwardly, opened his mouth to explain something, and suddenly bowed his hands and said, "Ashamed, ashamed, don't do to others what you don't want, don't do it to others. Brother Wang Pengju has a lot of lords, please spare me this trouble?"

"We and the 201st division are grasshoppers on a rope, belittling them doesn't show how noble we are,"

"Thank you for your teaching, brother, I know I was wrong." Lieutenant Liu Shunli saluted with a wry smile, cursing himself inwardly for being a pig.

From the code name, it can be seen that the 201st Division is the 1st Division of the Southern Military Region, also known as the famous ace unit "Snow Mountain Division". home troops.

Being able to get the mission of stationing in Mexico City naturally has a strong background.

Fortunately, Brigadier General Fan Pengfei, the commander of the Xueshan Division, is the cousin of Lieutenant Fan Pengju in front of him. During his stay in Mexico, the head of the regiment took Lieutenant Fan Pengju to visit him.

After all, he is a war hero and a baron of the kingdom, oh... no, after this war, he might be able to get another viscount noble title, with a proper thick leg.

I accidentally said, "Division 201 is all in the eyes of money", is it any wonder that Lieutenant Fan Pengju is happy to hear that?
Captain Hu Hanbiao did not come out to smooth things over just now. He knew more information than Lieutenant Liu Shunli. In the battle against the US infiltrated cavalry at Fort Omaha, the regiment gave Lieutenant Fan Pengju a second-class merit.

In this battle, he killed 5 U.S. troops and wounded [-] others. He performed very bravely.

As for how this statistic came about, that’s something to be careful about. Those who have a backer behind them will definitely be taken care of.

At the beginning, there was a rain of bullets hitting the face, and the US cavalry "crashed" and fell a large piece.

The Royal San Francisco Cuirassiers were protected by steel armor and had stronger firepower, so they suffered casualties of just a dozen cavalry, while more than half of the American troops on the opposite side were killed.

After the two armies met, it would be even more chaotic if they pulled out their sabers and killed them. Who can determine how many American cavalrymen were killed?

Military merit has to be measured at the peak. It is normal for some people to have more and others to have less, but Captain Hu Hanbiao also knows that when a second-class merit is approved, Fan Pengju will be promoted to captain immediately, and promotion to major in the future is also a good qualification for military exploits.

The situation in North America is tense now. At this time, it is possible to be promoted to captain. After half a year and a year of sudden expansion, it is a matter of hand to be promoted to a major in the field army.

If you can't catch this train, just like Lieutenant Liu Shunli, you will have to spend two years in the rank of lieutenant. By then, the day lily will be completely cold, and you still want to eat farts?

This is how life opportunities are, seized and soared into the sky.

Can't catch it completely cool.

Just like this usual way of dealing with people, some officers of the Royal Guards let themselves go after they came to Mexico City. A single man like Lieutenant Liu Shunli has 4 beautiful Mexican women in one fell swoop. Does the officer have any opinion after seeing it? ?

Lieutenant Fan Pengju was much more cautious, and got a Mexican woman through the channel of the brother army, and gave the money politely.

His situation is very common in the Royal Guards accompanying His Majesty. He belongs to the trend, never stands out, and does not get out of the mud, which is very good.

"Don't stand there, everyone. If you have a lot of luggage, you should check it in. Later, you guys will arrange for your family members to board the train, and check the goods according to the list. Everyone should act more sloppily, so don't delay the special train's departure on time." Hu Hanbiao The captain suddenly spoke out, easing the stalemate between them, and the young officers immediately acted and went their own way.

As the accompanying officers and soldiers of the Royal Guards, it is also their task to escort the special train, which is not contradictory.
