1850 American Gold Tycoon

"This is a declaration of war against Brannan. It is too risky and will cause death for us."

Henry, the president of the "Californian Daily" newspaper, held a piece of manuscript with wet ink in his hand. The headline on it was eye-catching: Who stole our gold and who is destroying our home.

The content is even more shocking, pointing directly at the root of all the chaos in California to the most wealthy and powerful person in California: Sam Brannan. Google search reading

After reading this manuscript, Henry's hands trembled a little.

"If we don't declare war on him, won't there be fatal disasters? Don't forget, we have just experienced a life and death disaster, and they have just destroyed beautiful Sacramento!"

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If he wants to continue to develop and grow in California, Brannan's stumbling block has reached the point where he has to get rid of it. Even if it means breaking his toe bones, he will kick away Brannan's smelly and hard stumbling block.

"This newspaper is distributed for free. Within three days, I want to see this newspaper in the hands of everyone in San Francisco and Sacramento. Give it to me as a wipe, and give it to me!" Liang Yao He had already made up his mind to burn the boat, "Not a single letter of the words above is allowed to be changed. If you change it, you should know the consequences."

"Yes, boss, I'll do it right away."

Holding his nervous beating heart, Henry took the manuscript and left Liang Yao's devastated residence.

After using the security committee to eliminate dissidents and eliminate competitors, San Francisco has become Brannan's small kingdom.

The price of San Francisco gold mining tools, daily necessities and other commodities does not depend on their cost, nor on market supply and demand, but on Brannan's mood.

"Damn it, couldn't you buy a shovel with half an ounce a week ago? Why do you need an ounce of gold to buy a shovel now? And the quality is getting worse and worse."

In Brannan's grocery store, a gold digger couldn't help but complain. Not only are they unable to find gold at such prices, they are even burdened with more debt.

"Sir, there are more and more gold on the market, and its value is naturally not that high. If you find it too expensive, please look elsewhere."

said a gunman with a newspaper under his arm and the conspicuous armband of the Sheriff's Committee on his arm.

The gold digger had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, put the shovel back in his hand, and left Brannan's grocery store.

Brannan was in a pretty good mood today. Although Brandon failed to get rid of Liang Yao, he also burned down Sacramento. Many of Liang Yao's properties were also burned in the fire.

And he, Brannan, only paid a measly 2,000 ounces of gold for this. There is no doubt that in this round of confrontation, he was the winner and caught his opponent off guard.

It's a pity that Brannan's happy mood could not last the whole day.

He saw today's "Daily California" from one of his hired guns, which could also be said to be a declaration of war against him.

Brannan walked to the stove and threw the newspaper into the stove. The burning flames reflected his gloomy face and his chilling, murderous eyes.

The free Daily Californian quickly spread throughout the streets of San Francisco.

Whether it is an illiterate miner or a well-educated middle class, almost everyone has a copy, because it costs nothing, and the quality of the paper is surprisingly good, and you can use it for other purposes even if you don't read it.

The newspaper was soon in Flagg's hands.

Flagg knew that the "California Daily" was Liang Yao's microphone, but there were not many newspapers that could be subscribed to in California. What's more, the content of the "California Daily" was novel and interesting, and it was also a very competitive newspaper in the eastern region. .

There was no opera house in California, and there were no gathering salons among aristocrats. Reading newspapers became one of the few entertainment pastimes. There was no reason for Flagg not to subscribe to a high-quality newspaper like the "California Daily."

"The upright Chief Flagg said he has zero tolerance for corrupt Mounties and said these Mounties will be brought to court to face the laws of the United States.

At the same time, Chief Flag also said that the villain Sam Brannan and his lackey security committee who were behind the corruption of the Mounted Police should all be thrown into the manure pit and drowned to give the people justice! Give California a bright future! "

When he read this sentence, Flagg felt a chill running down his spine and trembling all over.

He didn't want to take sides between Liang Yao and Brannan. He didn't want to offend either of them. What he wanted was stability in California, and he, Flagg, was able to exploit both sides of the aisle and benefit from both of them.

As for the security mess in San Francisco and Sacramento, leave it to his successor to sort out.

There is no doubt that this newspaper will make his personal image very great in the minds of all Californians, and will also push Flagg to the forefront of the conflict.

Flagg could no longer walk between the two wealthiest people in California. He had to directly take sides. He didn't even have a choice but to side with Liang Yao.

He had received a large amount of gold from Liang Yao and had a close relationship with Liang Yao. Brannan knew about it. Although this newspaper is exaggerated, the content in it is also a mixture of truth and falsehood. It is easy for people to believe lies with true content.

"I thought Brannan was a bastard enough, but I didn't expect that little bastard Liang Yao to be even more bastard than Brannan."

Flagg, who was so angry that he couldn't help but talk to himself, wished he could rush to Liang Yao and beat him up right now.

This damn guy made him have to be wary of a gun pointing at him in the dark when he went out from now on. For a villain like Brannan who dared to openly trample the laws of the United States and the United States in public, he would definitely be able to assassinate the Sheriff.

"Oh, dear, please don't say that. Mr. Liang is a very good man."

Flagg's wife did not agree with Flagg's views, which made Flagg furious.

"Did you collect gold from that bastard again?"

"I swear to the Lord, I have not accepted gold from anyone, and I will always keep your instructions in mind."

Flagg had no intention of arguing with his ignorant wife, so he grabbed the newspaper and stormed out the door angrily.

"But I accepted his US dollars, and I had no choice but to do so. The prices in San Francisco are too expensive. You are the Sheriff. If the Sheriff's wife lives a disgraceful life, the entire San Francisco population will despise us. I do it for your own good, I hope you can forgive me, my dear."

After Flagg left, Mrs. Flagg murmured in a low voice and tried to convince herself.
