Wild North America 1846

Emperor Li Cha led a group of cavalry galloping for a few days, had a good time, revisiting the past memories of leading the cavalry of the Tang Empire to rush down the Colorado Plateau 15 years ago, raging in the white towns of the Great Plains in central North America, full of memories A sense of conquest filled his chest.

Either don't do it, or do it all.

In Dallas, His Majesty's imperial camp was stationed outside the town, maintaining a high-alert field camp.

The next day

His Majesty the Emperor and his party came to the former Cedar Mountain battlefield, which was the old battlefield where the Southern Corps assaulted General Sherman's main force retreating northward in early 1860, and it was also one of the important battles that established the overall victory on the Western Front.

In 1859, Sherman, the titan of the Northern Army, sent troops from Tennessee to attack Georgia, occupied Atlanta, and marched to the sea.

He faithfully implemented the "scorched earth policy" all the way, destroying Georgia, South Carolina, and Texas, three wealthy states, burning countless fields and houses, burning down dozens of towns, and scorching earth almost burned half of the Confederate States of America. Committed countless grave sins.

on this battlefield
The Southern Corps defeated the powerful enemy with an unstoppable assault. Today, in the lush grass and bushes, white bones and fragments of clothing can still be seen everywhere. You can find rusty clothes buttons or iron spikes.

For those who are lucky, it is no problem to find a rusty sword.

His Majesty the Emperor set up an altar for three animals here, and invited more than 120 monks to open the altar to pay homage to the heroic spirits sacrificed here by the empire, and to save those souls who have no owner.

on the wilderness

The cold wind in November was bleak, passing across the wilderness and emitting an incomprehensible whimpering sound, as if tens of thousands of dead souls were wailing here, which made people feel scalp numb.

Even the dozen or so tall silver giant wolves beside the emperor couldn't stop howling up to the sky, which made Li Cha's brows furrowed tightly, and he ordered solemnly;

"From now on, governments across the country are ordered to organize groups of monks, Taoists, and Protestant priests to go to major battlefields to hold super-delivery pujas, build additional temples, Taoist temples, and churches to pay homage to the dead. In addition, build martyrs' shrines and Water and land ashrams, pagodas and other sacrificial buildings can stabilize the hearts of the people and pay homage to the souls of the dead."

"My minister obeys the order." Zheng Yuan accepted the order awe-inspiringly.

Most people in this era are very superstitious. Chinese immigrants either believe in Buddhism or believe in Buddhism. As a result, there are temples, Taoist temples or churches in villages and towns all over the empire, and the religious atmosphere is very strong.

Li Cha himself traveled to this world for no apparent reason, and he felt more awe and less indifference towards the mysterious power of the supernatural in his heart. There is no need to add more details to things that can be solved with a little money.

Among imperial military families, the most popular thing is to set up the throne of His Majesty, and offer respectful incense every day to pay homage.

His Majesty the Emperor has become a myth in the minds of the people of the empire. He is really an invincible and invincible generation of holy martial emperors. He has opened up a huge empire territory, which is a hundred times more effective than the second master Guan. Of course, he must be respected and sacrificed.

This trend has spread to the people, and now every household in the empire will present His Majesty's imperial photo in the main room, praying for good weather and good health for the whole family.

Back to the topic
After commemorating the Cedar Mountain battlefield, His Majesty and his party, under the escort of the royal cuirassiers, prepared to go to Dallas to take the royal train patent of the Southern Railway, and continue the inspection journey of the remaining southern provinces.

In the distance, a group of about a dozen caravans passed by, and the cuirassiers separated them far away. The immigrants who got off the caravan looked at the mighty and majestic royal cavalry in surprise, and suddenly someone blurted out He said: "God, it's Sheng Jia's hat coming, I'll kneel down to greet you."

After finishing speaking, he knelt down in a huff.

Emperor Li Cha frowned when he saw it from a distance, and softly instructed Director Zheng Yuan, who nodded his head like a pounding garlic, and quickly led a few cavalry to meet him.

Director Zheng Yuan asked all the migrating immigrants to stand up. The Tang Empire abolished the kneeling ceremony. Even when meeting His Majesty, one only needs to bow and salute. There is no need to pay respects.

Afterwards, he came back with two middle-aged men who seemed to be the leaders, and introduced to His Majesty; "Your Majesty Qizuo, these are the two people who are in charge of the migration family, one is Lin Ada from the Lin family. , one is Hu San from the Hu family, both of them have the experience of retired veterans, one is 51 years old, the other is 53 years old, both came from Colorado province, I respectfully ask Your Majesty to ask questions."

Director Zheng Yuan spoke concisely and concisely, and in just a few sentences, he briefly introduced the experience of these people.

Emperor Li Cha's eyes froze when he heard this, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he said, "One is a 51-year-old veteran, and the other is a 53-year-old veteran. They should have participated in the founding war."

"Returning to the Holy Spirit, the little Lin Ada once served in the Sixth Cavalry Regiment of Los Angeles, and this Hu San is a retired soldier of the Royal San Francisco Cuirassiers. Thanks to His Majesty's blessing during the Northern War, they made a small fortune at that time."

"Hehe...it turns out that they are all from my old department. How have you lived these years? Have you been bullied or unfair?"

"Returning to the Holy Father, the little Lin Ada and the brother Hu San from the same country are both retired officers and soldiers. They are members of the Veterans Association in Linshui City, Colorado. The people who are in charge of the towns and villages are our people, and they live very well. Comfortable and happy, the family has a house and a field, and has never suffered any bullying."

"Oh... that's good." Li Cha responded with a gentle expression, then pointed at them and the dozen or so caravans behind him, and asked; Going all the way down to Texas to find a way out?"

Lin Ada and Hu San above heard His Majesty's question, and couldn't help turning their heads to look at each other. Presumably this Hu San saw His Majesty trembling, and just kept saying; "You...you go back, you Come back."

Director Zheng Yuan, who was standing by his side, coughed lightly, reminding the two to pay attention to imperial etiquette, but he was also a little curious, the so-called homeland is hard to leave, why do you want to move when you are at home?
After all, he is a retired soldier. This Lin Ada is still a knowledgeable person, and his speech is quite methodical. He replied respectfully; Too many cubs are causing trouble."

"Oh...hehehe, I would like to hear the details." Li Cha laughed as soon as he heard it, and the surrounding officers of the royal guard also looked much more relaxed, showing faint smiles.

Just listen to this Lin Ada's report respectfully;

"Thanks to His Majesty, Caomin was allocated 27 acres of meritorious land after retiring, which is almost equivalent to 155 acres in his hometown. Caomin's family of 5, two Caucasian wives and concubines, and two Indian maids lived happily. smell.

It’s also my fault that the villain couldn’t hold back, and later took two Indian maids as concubines. These 4 women gave birth to 19 children one after another over the years. , the little one is still in my arms.

Hu San, my fellow villager, has more children than me, with 22 children.

Although it is said that the family wakes up early and works late at night without worrying about food or clothing, but seeing that the children are growing up day by day, they are all people who want to start a family and start a business in the future. money?If you want to live a good life, you have to think about something else.

In our Colorado Plateau, the meritorious fields are next to each other, and they are all relied on for a lifetime. It is basically unheard of that anyone is willing to sell the fields.

These little guys heard that the Empire encourages immigrants to Texas, and each immigrant can buy 10 acres of land at a discount below the market price, and there is no upper limit for buying at the market price, so the old brothers are all moved.

While drinking, they make up their minds in private, and they simply don't do anything.

I sold all the fields and houses in Colorado, borrowed a large amount of money from the bank, and went south to Texas to buy a large field by the river.

According to preferential policies;

The small family can buy 240 acres with preferential policies, plus the savings from selling houses and land and loans, and can almost make up the money for 500 acres of fields.

With such a big place, I won't be afraid to give birth to a baby if I try my best in the future.

The few of us were planning to buy together, build houses for each other, and take care of things like grazing, so we went all the way south. "

"So that's the case, but aren't you afraid of robbers with so much money?" Li Cha suddenly realized, and continued to ask with interest.

Lin Ada puffed his chest proudly and replied, "Returning to the Holy Father, we really don't fear any horse bandits. In the early years, we could see sporadic white horse bandits on the Colorado plateau, but now they have almost disappeared completely. Our Several families have been soldiers, and the older cubs are all adults. They are very skilled in riding horses and guns. This team can also gather more than 30 cavalrymen. It is enough to meet dozens of horse bandits. , Imperial soldiers don’t have the word “back off”.”

"Hehehe... Okay, it's not as good as the word "back off"!" Li Cha smiled happily, turned his head and said to General Liu Wu; "Arrange a team of cavalry to escort them, so be prepared. In addition, contact the officials of the nearby villages and towns to help them resettle and come back. If there are any financial or life difficulties, I will also help to solve them. After all, it is my old department, so there must be some kindness?"

Speaking of here
Li Cha looked at Lin Ada and Hu San with a warm expression, and said softly; "Since the meeting is fate, I will reward each of you with 300 acres of land, so you can live a good life as a family in the future, hehe...have more babies. "

"Caomin and others thank Your Majesty for your grace." Lin Ada and Hu San knelt down in gratitude, their hearts filled with infinite joy.

"Let's go without courtesy, let's go!" Li Cha waved his hand, and the heavily lined royal guards left one by one, leaving only the two leaders of the caravan full of joy, and a group of cavalry not far away them.

This was just an insignificant episode during Emperor Li Cha's inspection, but it had a profound impact on these immigrant families.
