Wild North America 1846

Mid-May 1866

More than a month after the Battle of Fushimi Toba

As the weather got warmer, the civil war in the southwestern battlefield of the Fuso Islands became more and more fierce. The rebels fought fiercely relying on the favorable terrain in towns and mountains, and the shogunate army fought bumpy battles in Changzhou.

Unsurprisingly, after a few defeats, he advanced more than 30 kilometers southwest and then stopped, making no further progress.

Osakako

The cruise ship "Yongtaishan" departed from Weihaiwei Port in China and arrived at Osaka Port smoothly after two days and two nights of sailing.

After replenishing supplies here, the ship will depart for Midway Island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. This is a transoceanic voyage up to 8 days and 8 nights, and coal, water and vegetables must be replenished at the port.

Taking advantage of his spare time, Major General Fan Pengju, who came back from his hometown of Shenzhou, was dressed in a white suit and casual clothes. He looked like a majestic official with a ruddy complexion. He obviously spent some happy days in his hometown.

When he got off the cruise ship, he was followed by more than 130 sturdy villagers of the Fan clan, ranging in age from sixteen to seventeen to over 30 years old. These were the children of the Fan clan entrusted by his neighbors to bring him to North America for development.

Fan Peng took this trip back to his hometown, and there were more than 130 people who followed him to North America to develop. There were more than 410 people on the cruise ship, including men, women and children.

As for these more than 130 strong Fan children, Fan Pengju is going to take them to experience the bloody and cruel scenes of the war in Fusang country. It will be an eye-opener. If you can find three or five talents that can be cultivated, it will be considered a treasure.

These days, the concept of clan and neighbors is strong, and relatives and immigrants account for a considerable proportion. One person brings a few people, and a few people bring a large group of people. This is almost the norm for the imperial power.

As long as there is a chance to return to Shenzhou to visit relatives, it is necessary to bring a large number of neighbors of the same clan to North America. Firstly, it is necessary for the construction of the fief, and using outsiders is not as caring as using the children of one's own clan.The second is the fetters of nostalgia and the Chinese national tradition of hugging together for warmth.

Even if you invest in the construction of the clan ancestral hall, you must have the clan's children to help!

On the resource-rich land of North America, as long as you work hard, you can live a prosperous and good life, which is much better than suffering in your hometown, Shenzhou.

As soon as Major General Fan Pengju got off the boat, he was caught by several Fusang people with hurried expressions, bowed at 90 degrees in unison, and the leader said;

"I'm sorry to trouble you, General. Because of the urgent military situation on the front line, I have to send an urgent report asking you to come back and preside over the suppression of the rebellion. Please!"

"I think the carriages and horses you brought are not enough. These are my attendants. Let's arrange to act together in the future." Major General Fan Pengju did not respond to the other party's words. He looked at the only two carriages on the pier, frowned and said. .

The leader did not dare to neglect, bowed again and replied earnestly; "Hi Yi, we did not prepare well, I am really sorry for causing you trouble. I will immediately contact the wharf police station to organize carriages, please rest assured, soon can be arranged;”

"That's all right." Major General Fan Pengju finally nodded, half turned around and said to an older fellow villager; "Uncle Wu, I'll take a step ahead to deal with urgent matters. You take them here to wait for a while, and then Naturally, someone has arranged it properly."

"My lord, you have to go to work on your own, so you don't need to worry about it here." Uncle Wu replied with a humble expression, without any excuses.

This time, all the neighbors dragged their families to North America to take shelter under the command of Fan Pengju, who is now growing up, hoping to have a good meal, so that the sons and daughters will be satisfied if they have a bright future.

All of this depends on his elder nephew who is about the same age as him.

Being an uncle is nothing, not to mention that he still has a noble title, Fan Pengju will be the master from now on, and the neighbors all expect to make a living with him!

Without this insight, Uncle Wu would not be accused of being the leader.

"Then Fifth Uncle...you don't have to worry about it." Fan Pengju was not too polite, he waved his hand and said after recovering; "Lead the way, then we will take a step first."

After speaking, he got into the carriage under the respectful welcome of several Fusang people, and soon left the pier.

Seeing the respectful appearance of the local Fusang people nodding and bowing to Fan Peng, Uncle Wu and a group of Fan's children were really eye-opening. It turns out that the master can eat well in this place called Wa Kingdom, and he seems to be respected.

This calmed down their feeling of panic and helplessness when they left their hometown. After all, there were so many clansmen on the pier, and soon there was a heated discussion...

The victory of the Pudan War in 1864 greatly stimulated the national self-confidence of the German states, significantly improved the prestige of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Empire, and became the leader of the two German-speaking countries, attracting European countries look sideways.

In today's era, the German nation has not yet achieved unity.

In the traditional Northwest Europe region, there are countless large and small states. Although the citizens all speak the same language—German, they are independent of each other politically, diplomatically, and militarily.

The state of mutual independence provided convenience for European powers such as Britain, France, Russia, and Switzerland to interfere in the affairs of the German region.

For a long period of time, this has become the biggest obstacle for the German nation to achieve self-reliance, achieve coordinated development, and pursue the right to speak in the region.

From a very early time, German people of insight have discussed the prospect of German unification. However, until the middle of the 19th century, there was still no possibility of solving this problem in practice.

A unified and powerful German nation-state will inevitably attract military intervention from France, causing deep fear in the English country, as well as a chain reaction of neighboring Nordic powers Sweden, Eastern Tsarist Russia and other powers.

The complicated situation in Europe affects the whole body.

The biggest obstacle preventing the Kingdom of Prussia from unifying the German nation is the Austrian Empire, which also speaks German.

When two powers compete, one must be wounded.

Tallenburg barracks outside Berlin
This vast military camp is located on the banks of the Spree River, 47 kilometers southeast of Berlin, surrounded by a large area of ​​dense forest. A total of 17 large military camps are scattered in the military area with a radius of more than 110 square kilometers, and the security is very strict.

There are about 26.5 elite troops gathered here, accounting for about 64% of the entire Prussian Empire's 4 troops, and they are all the main field army, implementing fully enclosed military training.

On the periphery of the road leading to the Tarenburg barracks, a large number of Prussian police posts were deployed to implement 24-hour uninterrupted vigilance. No one was allowed to pass without a military warrant.

Internally, armed patrols are dispatched by the military, combined with fixed sentry patrols, to arrest all suspicious persons who appear in the military restricted area.

Given the sensitivity to the military preparations of the Austrian Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia did the best it could in terms of blocking news.

Training at the Talenburg barracks included the Prussian First and Second Legions, the Fifth and Sixth Cuirassier Divisions of the Kingdom of Prussia, and part of the Bavarian Second Army. There were 2 officers above brigadier general , most of them belong to the traditional Junkers military aristocrats.

Tarenburg is a city with a population of about 3 people. A railway passes through here, and it has become a supply line for maintaining the daily military supplies of the army. Every day, 3 to 4 trains full of supplies arrive. All kinds of materials piled up into mountains.

Among the 7 main forces and two heavy cavalry divisions trained in Tarenburg, the Second Army was the strongest and most powerful;

The Second Army is the main force of the Kingdom of Prussia's army. There are a total of 4 people in four armies, namely the Guards, the Second Army, the Ninth Army, the No.12.7 Army and the Fifth Royal Cuirassier Division.

The commander-in-chief of the legion is His Royal Highness Prince Frederick William, Crown Prince of Prussia. The commander of the royal guards under his command is Augustus, Prince of Württemberg, Lieutenant General James Kahn, commander of the second army, and commander of the ninth army. Major General Manstein is an experienced general from the Tang Empire.

The commander of the No.12 Army is Duke Albert, Crown Prince of Saxony, who is the closest confidant of King William.

Through the above measures
King William won a pivotal military command from the traditional German Junker military aristocrats, especially the Second Army, which was firmly controlled by the Prussian royal family, which greatly enhanced the monarch's right to speak.

The commander-in-chief of the First Army was King William's nephew, Prince Frederick Karl, known as the "Blood Prince", a Junker military aristocrat with rich combat experience.

And all of this is inseparable from the careful planning of Iron Prime Minister Bismarck.

A European-style mansion in Tallenburg was brightly lit, and middle and senior generals from the Second Army were attending a grand reception. This was also a common way for His Royal Highness Prince Friedrich Wilhelm Nicholas Karl to win over and get close to his subordinates.

"Cheers, dear generals, you have trained the soldiers very well. His Majesty the King would like to express his thanks to the generals through me. Come... Cheers to the unification of Germany!" His Royal Highness raised the wine glass in his hand.

Standing beside His Royal Highness is his wife, Princess Victoria-Louise. She is the eldest princess of Her Majesty Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of the United Kingdom.

"Cheers, may the glory of victory shine on His Highness and the noble princess forever."

"Cheers to German unity."

"Cheers, for the win."

More than 30 generals raised their wine glasses one after another, with eager expectations on their faces. The unification of the German nation is not only the wish of the Prussian royal family, but also the common wish of all Junker military nobles.

This common goal brought everyone together, including Lieutenant General James Kahn and Major General Manstein in the crowd.

They were also members of the Junker military aristocrats, with the hot Guglu-Saxon martial spirit flowing in their blood, eager to see the rise of a unified and powerful German nation-state instead of the scattered sand in front of them.

One glory and one glory.
