1850 American Gold Baron

Chapter 176 Nicaragua (Please do not subscribe repeatedly to this chapter!)

The fleet of Global Shipping Company departed from the Port of San Francisco and headed south. When passing through Los Angeles, Liang Yao stayed in Los Angeles for half a day.

Since Liang Yao arrived in California, he has only traveled between San Francisco and Sacramento and has not been to other places in California.

Liang Yao stayed in Los Angeles, firstly to make his presence felt in Los Angeles and to express condolences to the people of Los Angeles, and secondly, to inspect Los Angeles and see with his own eyes how the reconstruction work in Los Angeles was going after the massacre.

The original population of Los Angeles was not large. After the massacre, Liang Yao packed more than 3,000 Chinese immigrants into Los Angeles in one fell swoop, claiming to be helping Los Angeles rebuild. This suddenly diluted the white population of Los Angeles, and Los Angeles instantly became a

A town dominated by Chinese people.

This is probably the first town in the United States with a predominantly Chinese population.

When they heard that Liang Yao came to Los Angeles, the Chinese immigrants in Los Angeles burned incense and worshiped in front of the newly built log house, which made Liang Yao dumbfounded.

The white immigrants in Los Angeles also expressed their gratitude to Liang Yao. Not only did Liang Yao win compensation for them, the American Group also played an important role in the reconstruction of Los Angeles.

Los Angeles also followed San Francisco's urban construction experience and re-planned its urban areas.

Since a large part of the old city of Los Angeles was burned down by rioters last year, Los Angeles almost directly demolished the old city and built a brand new city on the ruins.

The only regret is that the population of Los Angeles is still very small. As of now, the population of Los Angeles has not exceeded 5,000.

Because there is no gold in Los Angeles and only a few small coal mines, it is far less attractive to immigrants than San Francisco and Sacramento.

The busy small port, the newly reclaimed farmland, the small fishing ground on the seaside, the sawmill on the mountain, the busy coal mine, and the workers who are laying the railway track to the north to San Francisco, the bustling city is beginning to show.

Another California city is on the rise.

After leaving Los Angeles, Liang Yao continued to sail south along the coastline by boat and arrived at the port of San Juan del Sur in Virgin Bay, Republic of Nicaragua.

The Port of San Juan del Sur is a port on the Pacific side of the Republic of Nicaragua.

Just two years ago, the port of San Juan del Sur was a no-man's land.

The formation of this port was due to California's gold rush and Vanderbilt's foresight.

The port of San Juan del Sur is the Nicaragua route node personally selected by Vanderbilt. This young port is located on the Pacific coast of Nicaragua.

Local indigenous and native white people spoke Spanish, English and even French to sell local goods and supplies to passengers stationed at the Port of San Juan del Sur.

These passengers were all gold diggers from the eastern United States and even Europe. After a short stop here and replenishing supplies, they either took the ships of Vanderbilt's California Shipping Company to San Francisco, or took the Universal Shipping Company

Ships heading to San Francisco.

Liang Yao also took the Nicaragua route when he went to Texas this time. Although there was a land route in the middle of this route, he could only abandon the ship and walk, but Liang Yao still chose to take the Nicaragua route.

Because it is faster to take the Nicaragua route, and go south around Cape Horn in South America, although you can take the whole journey by boat, the voyage is very long. If you go around Cape Horn in South America, I am afraid that Liang Yao can prepare it after he arrives in Texas.

The Port of South San Juan is also a material transfer station for Liang Yao. The materials Liang Yao purchases from the east are basically stored at the Port of South San Juan, and then reloaded by Global Shipping Company's transport ships and transported to St. Francis.

division.

After Liang Yao landed, he ordered the gold to be loaded directly onto the carriage. Liang Yao carried 700,000 ounces of gold on this trip, worth approximately US$14.47 million, of which US$5 million was compensation from Texas, and the remaining US$9.47 million was

Liang Yao took him to the Eastern Acquisition Company for investment as well as his pocket money.

What is the concept of 700,000 ounces?

Converted into tons, it is about 21.7724 tons of gold.

To this end, Liang Yaote brought a newly formed cavalry company and two infantry companies to escort the gold.

In order to ensure that the gold could be transported smoothly to Texas, the U.S. federal government even sent a navy to wait for Liang Yao at Graytown Port on the Atlantic Ocean in Nicaragua, preparing to escort Liang Yao.

At this time, Nicaragua was not completely the back garden of the United States. Although Nicaragua was a weak country, the United States was not Great Britain. With so many armed personnel crossing the border, they still had to say hello to the local government.

Fortunately, Vanderbilt, with his nearly 100 million people, had very good relations with local Nicaraguan politicians, so the crossing of armed personnel was not a big problem.

What Vanderbilt said in countries like Central America was better than any president in the White House.

Moreover, the U.S. federal government has also said hello to Nicaragua. If Nicaragua does not let Liang Yao's troops pass through the border, it will be disrespectful.

Thanks to the excellent matching mechanism in Latin America, Nicaragua is a country with extremely strong military strength.

To what extent does it stretch?

In 1854, a civil war broke out between the Conservative Party and the Democratic Party in Nicaragua. The Democratic Party asked the American adventurer Walker for help. Walker led a private armed army of 60 people to Nicaragua the following year.

Under the command of Walker, these 60 people fought fiercely with the armed forces of the Nicaraguan Conservative Party for more than seven months. Finally, on October 13, 1855, they successfully occupied Granada, the capital of the Conservative Party, and supported the puppet president to colonize Nicaragua.

rule.

The United States recognized the puppet government supported by Walker the following year, and Nicaragua during this period was called Wacaragua.

In other words, Liang Yao now has an armed force capable of destroying Nicaragua.

"Mr. Vanderbilt, long time no see."

Not long after he landed, a middle-aged man in military uniform took off his military hat, revealing a Mediterranean hairstyle, and warmly gave Vanderbilt a friendly hug.

"Chief of Staff Fruto Chamorro, it wasn't that long ago. We just met more than two months ago." Vanderbilt was also smiling.

Fruto Chamorro, Chief of Staff of the Army of the Republic of Nicaragua, and the future first true president of Nicaragua.

"This must be the famous Speaker of the California State Assembly, Mr. Liang Yao, right? Your story is spread by word of mouth among gold diggers."

With that said, Chamorro shook hands with Liang Yao in a friendly manner.

I failed the review twice, and my mentality was broken. I was reminded by the website that it would take 48 hours before I could continue to modify the application to lift the ban. Who can resist this? I just slashed and sent it out.
