Wild North America 1846

The "River Bend Assassination Case" that occurred in May 1859 and its follow-up Datang Kingdom brazenly sent troops to Tijuana, and it took only 5 and a half days to fully occupy the state, demonstrating the fierce military methods and powerful military power of the Datang Kingdom. Impressive.

The focus of public opinion in Europe is not that the Tang Kingdom took advantage of the chaos to seize the state of Tijuana. The concept of safeguarding the inviolability of the sacred kingship is deeply rooted in Europe, and this is not the focus of the problem.

The focus is whether the Tang Kingdom will join the current cruel and unprecedented bloody American Civil War?

The focus is whether the United States will declare war on the Tang Kingdom?

The focus is on where is the future in turbulent North America?
The focus is on the leisurely and content King Li Cha of the Tang Kingdom on his inspection trip to the north, what kind of trouble will happen?

The public opinion of a group of European countries was attracted by the chaotic war situation in North America, and even opened up a series of long-read column reports, all kinds of speculations were rampant, and there were all kinds of speculations.

In particular, the large front page report of the British "The Times" is the most eye-catching. The headline is: Orientals are about to rule North America.

The article enumerates the battle history of the king of the Tang Kingdom known as "Charlie the Devil" since the founding of the country. He has won many battles and has few opponents. He is a very ambitious and aggressive king and will never give up the rare expansion. good chance.

In the article, the war handle that the Yankees took the initiative to send up was called; "Attorney General Richardson, who drank too much cheap ale in the tavern, created a big problem for President James Buchanan. A turning point in the chaos."

And asserted; "North America will usher in a new chapter dominated by Orientals."

Newspapers from various European countries reprinted the authoritative report of the British "Times" one after another. Because of the interests of the usurer class, the Frenchman publicly shouted in the newspapers, threatening; Take practical military action to safeguard French interests."

While threatening the Datang Kingdom, French newspapers publicly shouted to the US federal government; "Now that there is already a troublesome enemy, it should be the most sensible way to restrain the cabinet members of the government from provoking another more powerful enemy... "

This is generally considered a good day by the Chinese. The melon eaters in Europe did not wait for the news that the Tang Kingdom declared war on the US Federal Government (Northern) or the US Federal Government (Northern) took the initiative to declare war on the Datang Kingdom. Instead, they waited for it. A powerful declaration by the US federal government;

美联邦国总统詹姆斯-布坎南于1859年5月18日上午10:00许，在华盛顿总统图书馆揭幕仪式上正式向公众宣布了《解放黑人奴隶宣言》。

It seems that the U.S. federal government is trying to cover up the public anticipation of the war between Tang and the U.S. with a more explosive news, to occupy the main pages of public opinion in North America and Europe, and make people forget these shitty things about the war and the humiliation of the Yankees.

In fact, they succeeded.

The focus of public opinion was quickly attracted by the Emancipation Proclamation, which was divided into two parts;
Since January 1860, 1, the U.S. federal government has formally passed a parliamentary vote to form a legal document ordering the emancipation of black slaves.

Blacks did not get political rights, nor did they get land.However, the "Declaration" shows that the position of the Buchanan government has changed from restricting slavery to completely abolishing slavery, which is a historic step.

The manifesto, which contains a formal statement from President James Buchanan:
All slaves in states seceding from the Union and returning to Union control shall be freed no later than January 1860, 1. …

In this Emancipation Proclamation, Maryland, Delaware (none of which had seceded from the Union), Tennessee (already under Union control), Missouri, and Kentucky (already several A faction government accepted by the Federation, but has not yet formally seceded from the Federation, hesitating) to prevent these states from falling to the South in a fit of anger, then it would be a waste of money.

After the outbreak of the Civil War

A considerable number of black slaves volunteered to help the Union fight for freedom, but the generals of the Northern Army still had conflicts over how to deal with the black slaves in the occupied territories.

According to the "Fugitive Slave Act of 1850" promulgated by the federal government, the accommodation and use of these black slaves violated the law and the property rights of southern slave owners, which was an out-and-out serious crime.

These fugitive black slaves must return to their southern white slave owners' manors to be punished. This is the right of white slave owners stipulated by law, which is sacred and inviolable.

Black slaves not only exist in the southern states of the United States, but also widely exist in big cities such as New York and Philadelphia in the north. In order to maintain a superior and luxurious life, it is logical for upper-class families to drive black slaves to work and serve.

Therefore, some northern generals chose to accept fugitive black slaves and assist the army to do some logistical work.Some northern generals chose to imprison fugitive black slaves on the grounds that;

A noble gentleman does not use stolen property.

After President James Buchanan promulgated the "Proclamation for the Emancipation of Black Slaves", some generals in the north were dissatisfied with his policy, and there were even more than 10 mutinies and defections.

This made General Ambrose Everett Burnside, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army who was preparing to launch a new round of general attack to the south, in a hurry. He had to postpone the time of the general attack and free up his hands to appease Army, and crack down on disgruntled white officers.

In short, it's all chicken feathers.

Vancouver

During the British rule, Vancouver was only a small town of more than 2300 people, mainly engaged in fur trade, whaling and timber felling and processing, and its development was very slow.

Vancouver is located in the southwestern part of the British Canadian colony on the Pacific coast. When the border between Britain and Tang was separated in 1847, because King Richard of the Tang Kingdom bribed the upper echelon of the British, London gave this world-class excellent ice-free seaport to The Tang Kingdom.

As a result, Vancouver has also ushered in a new period of development. Its straight line is only 198 kilometers away from Seattle, the capital of the Northern Province. If it is by road, it needs to bypass some lakes and mountains, and the mileage is about 242 kilometers.

The most convenient transportation between the two places is the ship. Basically, I board the ship from Seattle at five or six in the afternoon, sleep in the cabin, and arrive in Vancouver at 2 am the next day. It is very convenient to travel.

After more than 10 years of development

Vancouver is still a third-tier city with a population of less than 6. Seattle, the largest city in the north, is like a bottomless vortex, absorbing countless people and resources, causing the development of surrounding cities to lag.

Early 1858
Loggers discovered a large gold deposit in Vancouver's Fraser Valley. Datang Kingdom has rich experience in gold panning. For a while, followers gathered, and Vancouver quickly prospered.

Only 4-5 months of work

Vancouver has rapidly expanded from a third-tier city with a population of less than 6 to a population of nearly 20. Gold diggers from major coastal cities such as Los Angeles, Chang'an, Salem, Portland, and Seattle have frantically poured in. The momentum has not diminished but intensified.

More than 9% of these gold diggers are of Chinese descent, occupying an overwhelming advantage, and less than [-]% are white gold diggers.

In everyone's heart, there is a dream of getting rich overnight.

"When I see Vancouver now, I think of Chang'an City 10 years ago. At that time, it was still called "San Francisco". It was a gold rush city full of adventures and dreams, and there was a strong smell of hormones everywhere. Hehe... And the nostalgic poppy sourdough."

Suburbs of Vancouver

Sitting on the tall Suffolk Thoroughbred horse, Richard looked at the snow-capped permafrost mountains in the distance, and couldn't help but be filled with emotion. Vancouver now gave him that familiar and familiar feeling.

The current Vancouver Bay is no longer called "Burner Bay", but is affectionately called "Gold Coast" by the Chinese. It contains the dream of making a fortune that makes people flock to it, which is vulgar but simple and clear.

The Gold Coast has developed rapidly with its many twists and turns and its world-class excellent port conditions, and many small and medium-sized shipyards can already be seen along the coast.

These small and medium-sized shipyards do not produce or have the ability to build large seagoing ships. Most of them build tugboats, small and medium-sized passenger ships and cargo ships in the bay, and various fishing boats and barges. The business seems to be quite good.

Tugboats are generally used to haul wooden rafts in the sea. The huge timber harvested from nearby forests cannot be surrounded by three or four people. Most of them slide directly into the river from the slide on the mountain, and then tie them with ropes to form wooden rafts. , and then use a tugboat to pull it all the way south along the seashore, and supply it to the major cities along the coast.

Some large wooden rafts stretch for several kilometers, requiring several tugboats to drag them forward and backward, and travel slowly. It takes more than a month for a long voyage south to Chang'an, so the demand for tugboats is quite large.

Lieutenant General Liu Wu (Liu Wu), who accompanied His Majesty the King, also felt deeply that his life has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past ten years. I really can't imagine it!
Lieutenant General Liu Wu thought of the emotional place, his tiger eyes couldn't help getting wet, and he replied with a little choking; "Your Majesty, I still remember that I followed you around to kill white people, and I didn't have any concept of the future in my heart. I never thought that I would have the lofty status today, rich food and clothing, no worries about food and clothing, and the hereditary title of nobility inherited from the family.

"You... don't act like a hypocritical little woman, this is the glory and wealth you deserve through hard work." Li Cha interrupted Lieutenant General Liu Wu's sentimental mood with a smile, pointed at him with the whip in his hand and said ;

"You need to keep in mind that you don't need to spend much effort, you only need to serve the king wholeheartedly.

According to your level, you can only do this step. In the future, you will cultivate the next generation in a safe manner, so that they will be better, and each generation will be stronger than the previous generation.

If there are talents available, I will spare no effort to reuse them.

Speaking of which, you are also the old man who has been with me for the longest time. Isn't it beautiful that you and I are suitable for this life, sharing the glory? "

"Your Majesty Long En is higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea, and Liu Wu will never be able to repay in this life." Hearing these words, Lieutenant General Liu Wu was overwhelmed with gratitude, tears gleamed in his eyes, and he choked up more and more. .

Li Cha smiled and shook his head and said, "Forget it, you old man, don't be so sentimental like a woman, go... go hunting!"

After finishing speaking, he slammed his feet on the horse's belly and shouted "Fight...", and then galloped out at the head of the horse.
General Liu Wuzhong was stunned for a moment, then he whipped his whip fiercely, followed closely with his horse, and shouted, "Your Majesty, please slow down..."

The accompanying cavalry of the Royal Guards followed closely, and the rumbling hooves of the cavalry were as astonishing as thunder, galloping across the vast northern wilderness.
