1850 American Gold Tycoon

Cai Mingsheng's 6-year-old son Cai Laixi was hanged alive in San Francisco Square.

Hanged on the same gallows where Brannan's rival Jenkins had been hanged.

In this ridiculous and shameless act, Brannan asserted his sovereignty over the city that no longer exists.

This time he hanged not his rival, but an innocent child.

Brannan is now a lunatic and has no lower limit.

Liang Yao took down Cai Laixi's cold body from the gallows with a heavy heart.

Cai Mingsheng has been wandering for half his life, living alone overseas to survive. Having a son in his old age is his greatest comfort.

Cai Laixi's death is undoubtedly a huge blow to Cai Mingsheng, an honest and kind man.

He doted on his son very much on weekdays and was reluctant to beat or scold him when he made mistakes. He didn't expect that his child would be treated so cruelly today.

"Uncle Cai, Laixi's hatred is our hatred."

Liang Yao knelt down and comforted this fellow countryman who had helped him as soon as he set foot on this foreign land. He could understand Cai Mingsheng's pain.

Cai Mingsheng was so distraught that he cried and fainted on the spot.

Liang Yao carried Cai Mingsheng on his back, and after settling Cai Mingsheng, he issued an order to all the armed personnel in San Francisco: wipe out San Francisco, attack Brannan's manor, and personally bring the murderer to justice!

Since Brannan chose to resolve the conflict in the most primitive violent way, then he would grant Brannan's favor.

More than 150 armed men quickly gathered.

This was a very large armed force in the western United States during peacetime.

Sven, who had just returned from the port, could not care less about the fatigue caused by the long voyage. When he heard that Brannan's manor was going to be attacked, he hurriedly sent people to dismantle the two naval guns he had just purchased in Mexico from the ship, and brought a few guns with him. Box of Ammunition excitedly joins the army attacking Brannan's Marina Estate.

Suddenly, gunfire broke out in the city of San Francisco. Liang Yaozong led his armed men to hunt down Brannan's hired gunmen and gangs loyal to Brannan in the city.

All commercial activities in the commercial city ceased, and the citizens of São Francisco skillfully fled the city to avoid incurring unforeseen disasters.

The San Francisco police were originally on Liang Yao's side. They had no intention and no ability to stop this conflict.

Apart from sending someone to inform Flagg, who was still at the military fortress, of this important news, there was no other action.

As for the magistrate of San Francisco, Colonel Griffin is now also in charge. Colonel Griffin has troops and can quell this conflict.

All they can do now is to stay in the police station and not participate in this conflict, lest the nature of the conflict change.

"Thirteen were killed and thirty-two were captured alive. What should we do with them?"

Nowadays, the city of San Francisco is not large in scale, and the clearing operation against the city of San Francisco ended in less than three hours.

Deng Yan asked Liang Yao how to deal with these prisoners.

"Send it to the police station as a gift from me to Flagg and the mounted policemen."

After all, Brannan's hired gunmen and those gang members are nothing more than a ragtag group, and there is a huge difference in organization, combat effectiveness and fighting will from the gangster Brandon, who was once a professional soldier.

Liang Yao's armed forces have suffered very little casualties in clearing the city of San Francisco. So far, only two armed guards and four armed Chinese clan members have been killed.

Liang Yao took a look and saw that the urban area of ​​San Francisco was very complex with criss-crossing streets and chaotic structures.

There must be some fish that slipped through the net, but this is no big deal. The remaining fish that slipped through the net are already frightened and will not pose a threat to his subsequent attack on Brannan's seaside manor.

His men were far less familiar with the streets and buildings of São Francisco than these remnants of defeated soldiers who had lived in São Francisco for a long time.

Rushing for an in-depth crackdown will cause greater casualties, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Liang Yao ordered the clans to regroup and follow him to Brannan's coastal manor.

A team of more than 150 people marched to Brannan's luxurious estate located on the seaside.

At this time, the manor was already in chaos. Brannan issued firearms to everyone in the manor, including the housekeeper, groom, cook and even the maid, and ordered them to defend the manor to the death.

Brannan did not expect Liang Yao to react so violently. Brannan, who was already a little mentally disturbed, lost the ability to think calmly in the face of the sudden counterattack.

Little Brannan, who could barely walk on the ground, was so angry that his wounds burst and his blood pressure soared after learning of Brannan's stupid behavior.

He couldn't believe that his always smart brother would do such a stupid and reckless thing.

Attacking women and children will undoubtedly push them against all Californians, and public opinion that is already leaning towards Liang Yao will completely side with Liang Yao.

Liang Yaoda can punish them from the moral high ground, and the public will be tolerant of Liang Yao's behavior.

And they, the Brannan family, will get nothing.

He didn't understand why his brother became so irrational. Is it just to satisfy his competitive heart and get a breath of the so-called illusory energy?

"we lose."

Little Brannan was heartbroken. No matter how this matter ended today, whether Liang Yao could conquer this manor, which was as strong as a fortress, had lost all meaning to them.

Even if they were lucky enough to survive, there would be no place for them in San Francisco in the future.

The outcome of the war between them was decided the moment Brannan ordered his black hands to reach out to Chinese women and children, and the moment Cai Laixi was hanged on the gallows.

Brannan successfully ignited the anger in the hearts of Liang Yao and all Chinese in California and even the entire public.

Brannan's emotions found relief, but he lost everything.

Now they don't even have room to negotiate with Liang Yao.

Brannan built his private estate like a fortress, impregnable and intimidating.

Even if the same number of professional soldiers came to attack this manor, they would probably want to retreat.

"Even if my tooth is broken, I will chew this manor down!"

Liang Yao issued the death order, and now his subordinates are excited. Even if they don't need money to stimulate them, they can still maintain very high morale and fighting will.

Especially the armed men of the Chinese clan, who had long been sulking at Brannan, had nowhere to vent their anger.

"Your Excellency, the cannon has been loaded! Do you want to fire?!"

Sven seemed to be a very fanatical militant. He had already ordered the sailors to load the cannons and asked Liang Yao for instructions on whether to fire the cannons.

"fire!"

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

After Sven calculated the distance, he adjusted the elevation of the gun and conducted a test fire.

These two old 9-pound naval guns were bought by him from a Mexican naval officer in Tijuana.

It was a second-hand product sold to Mexico by the British during the war, and it was now a veritable third-hand product to him.

Sven didn't know much about the ballistics of these naval guns. After three rounds of calibration, he only hit the manor wall 500 yards away, which was 450 meters away.

Brannan built the walls of the manor very strongly, perhaps because their artillery was not powerful enough.

After the shell hit the wall, it only knocked down a few pieces of rubble.

"How guilty is this guy Brannan that he built the wall so strong."

Sven couldn't help but curse.

He underestimated the architectural quality of Brannan Manor and regretted not dismantling a few more naval guns. Perhaps a salvo of multiple guns would have a better effect.

"Brannan, this brainless guy, has caused me so much trouble. Now I want to twist off his head with my own hands, stuff it into the barrel of a cannon, and shoot his head into the sea."

Griffin showed up belatedly in San Francisco.

He did not come alone, but also brought two full infantry companies, which was all the military power he could mobilize.

When he learned the news, Griffin's first reaction was to suspect that he had heard wrongly. After repeated confirmations, Griffin had to accept this reality.

He returned to the military fortress halfway, quickly assembled two infantry companies and rushed to San Francisco.

Unexpectedly, there were no fires reaching the sky in San Francisco, which was the only good news among the many unfortunate news.

At least it shows that Liang Yao still maintains his sanity.

The rumble of artillery in the distance reminded Griffin and his soldiers that this seemingly peaceful city was in the middle of a war. Although it is not a war between countries.

"Thank God, at least one of the two of them has a head that is not mush." ​​Griffin looked at the city of San Francisco not far away and accelerated the march to avoid a greater tragedy.

Flagg was lucky that he was at the military fortress when the conflict broke out, otherwise he might have been directly involved in the conflict.

"Hey hey hey, gentlemen, what are you doing?"

Griffin arrived at the outskirts of Brannan's Marina Estate with his two companies of infantry.

The two naval guns commanded by Sven have also become eight, and they are conducting continuous bombardment on Brannan's manor.

Sven was no longer obsessed with bombarding the outer walls of the manor, but instead followed Liang Yao's orders to bombard buildings and soft targets in the manor in order to kill and injure the guards in the manor and undermine their morale.
